TOO MANY SOCIETIES.


A recent discussion in church mst'
tors has spiuug up through the East,
as to whether there are not getting TO
be too many societies In church WORK
for effective service-whelher there
arc not 80 many meetings OF societies
ms to exclude the central directing
force which should operate In them all,
and to tend to disruption instead OF to
unity.
There can be no question that from
the standpoint OF church efficiency too
many organizations within the body
make the appearance OF an activity
that is superficial; tho complicated
machinery Rrinds itself GU; and when
1t comes to adding organizations out
side OF the church, humanity
finds 1t impossible TO keep
up with all, and some must
suffer from neglect. In the present
state OF al Aits, 1t ia claimed that gem
orally the churches are the sufferers.
It ia necessary in church work to
have such Organizations us will reach
all classes OF members, and 10 give all
grades OF instruction within reach.
When this isaccompllshed,th the addition
OF new socletles, or union with or
ganizalions beyond, operates to The
detrlment OF tho individuals; hence O
line must be draw beyond which II 10
inadvlsabie to pass. La the Church
which has the bulk Of its membership
gathered In these mountain wales
there are provisions for organizations
OF u fundamental and auxiliary char
acter, forming avenues Of training in
every grade, to meet the needs OF
every member In the Church. This
being the case, it may be reality seen
that union with other socislies operat-
ing iu the social, ethical or benevolent
fields occupied by the Church, cannot
DO otherwise than detrimental to the
Church efficiency OF those who direct
their attention to other channels
which assume to take up similar wors.

TURKEYS Army.

1t seems to be O somewhat prevalent
opinion In Russia that the Greeks. II
allowed to go to war with the Turks,
would speedily be beaten, and this
view appears reasonable when the
military strength OF the two countries
are compared. But the fact is that the
Turkish forces both "a regards quality
and quantity are considerably less
formidable than appears from official
reports. A German military journal,
the Jahresberichte,r recently gave some
interesting Illustrations relative to this
subject.
In 1896, 1T is pointed out, when troops
were being mobilized on account Of
the disturbances in Armenia, Is. 600
men OF the fourth army corps and
20, 900 Of the nth failed to respond 10

soldiers went without uniforms. MOI
only was the pay withheld but pro-
visions were distributed only at
irregular intervals. The men had to
live by plumber, and many of them
sold their arms to obtain bread. II is

FIGURES UN HE FIGHT.

The Corbett. Fnzsimmons fight at
Carson has been discussed pretty
thoroughly from ethical and other
standpoints, and an esteemed friend
calls our attention to one feature OF Its
financial aspect, ss described In the
New York World. That paper figures
out the total expenditure OF money,
in the United States, on the champion
ship fight to be 5000, 900, and then
sRyt:
There arc 10000 unemployed mon in
New York at tho present time who are
willing to work.
Tho money spent on this fight would
give each one OF them employment for u
month at one dollar day.
II would buy each one OF them three
ten dollar suits OF clothes.
il would give each one of their families
one dollars worth Of food day for a
month.
1t would keep 100000 families, twice
the entire population of Greater New
York, in fuel for a month at three dollars
a family.
Il would pay the house rent for
100000 families for month at ten dol
lars each.
1t would pay the gas bills OF 1885, 900
families for a month az two dollars.
Reckoning six persons 10 n family, it
would pay the total gas bills OF the states
of New York and Minnesota at the same
rate.
The money spent on that fifty-three
and half minutes fight would found
and endow Il great university. 1t would
establish q half dozen great hospitals.
1t would found and maintain twenty
seven influential metropolitan churches.
II would build and endow as great an
art gallery as any In tho country. 1t
would build fifty theaters or establish a
great public park. II would capitalize
nine banks like the Second National Of
New York city.
