MINISTERIAL STATISTICS.


Rev. j. A. Stoner. secretary of the
Ohio Ministerial Association, has kindly
furnished US with an abstract of the Re-
ports of Ohio ministers of work accom-
plished during the year ending April 80
Believing them to be of general interest,
we quote as follows: Churches served,
AS, sermons delivered, 2O52; temperance
lectures, 80; funerals attended, DAB; mar
riages solemnized, SO; adults baptized
50; children baptized 81; members re-.
ceived, It's; pastoral visits, 1858. Rev.
F. M. Pitkin delivered the largest num-
Der of sermons-one hundred and fifty
four, Rev. Andrew Wilson officiated at
the largest number of funerals and wed
dings; Rev. j. H. Blackboard received the
most members; Rev. j. A. Stoner. bap-
tized the most children, and Rev. Carl
F. Henry made the most numerous pas
toral Gale. OF course Bro. Stoner has
not been able to give complete statistics,
owing to the fact that some ministers
are not disposed to keep an account Of
their work. Still the figures presented
show that the majority of our ministers
have not been idle.

THE HONDURAS REVOLUTION.
The Government Considering the Adj
visibility of Sending n Warship.

The Government Considering the Adj
Visibility of Sending n Warship.
The State and Navy departments are
considering the advisability Of sending a
warship to Honduras for the protection of
American interests. The latest official ad-
vices show that revolution is in progress
in that country. and that unless it is
speedily checked foreign interests will be
inperiled.
The Honduran authorities are confident,
however, of their ability to suppress the
revolution in a short time, and 1t is not
likely that a warship will be sent there,
unless the troubles promise to be prolonged.
Truxillo, on the Caribbean coast, Is the
only port of any Importance in Honduras,
and in case a vessel is dispatched that
point would be her destination.
In case Of an emergency in Honduras,
one of the vessels now engaged in patroll-
ing the Florida coast for Cuban filibusters
would undoubtedly be detached and sent
to Truxillo, but 1t is hoped that no such
action will be required.
The position of the administration is
against the dispatch of a naval vessel to
Honduras just at this time unless 1t Is
absolutely necessary. Moreover, 1t is ques-
tionable whether one could get there in
time to be of any service, as 1t is not likely
the present revolution will last much
longer.
