To Match the Wall Paper

A new departure in the mode of deco
rating bedrooms with embroidery was
recently made, with charming results,
in beautiful New England home. In
stead of using harmones or contrasts
of colors in the different rooms, it's mis-
tress restricted herself to a single style
of ornamentation in each. For instance.
a chamber in delft blue coloring had bu-
reau mats, cushion cover, towel shams.
ETC., all Of linen embroidered with ragged
robins. Another, facing north, whose
walls had a paper Of creamy-white
ground, with design of chrysanthe-
NUNS. had bureau set and pillow shams
of cut work embroidered with gold color.
A rose room" showed especially dainty
decorations Of boiling cloth hand painted
with wild roses, while green chamber"
with a greenish-hued Japanese mating
white china toilet set with design of
ferns, white enamel bedstead, white fur
niture, and white goatskin rugs. had a
bureau set of green art linen wrought in

fallacious truths, religious or otherwise,
may be expected as logical conclusions
of the age all along the line.
The establishment of missionary as
sociation in Alaska by Bishop Charles
c. McCabe of the Methodist church is
move in the right direction. Bishop Nc
Cabe announced to the members of the
general missionary committee of the
Methodist church, recently in session in
Philadelphia, that the main purpose of
the association would be to administer
to the spiritual wants of the miners Of
the far northern territory.
Sending missionaries to the heather is
eminently benevolent and scriptural, but
missionaries to the men of our own
race. whose environment is demoraliz-
ing or whose previous opportunities for
the most valuable of all instruction, the
enlightenment and elevation of their
moral and spiritual condition, has been
both limited and superficial, is a para
mount Christian duty. Not that there
are not among the Alaskan miners men
of good morals, as well as imbued with
a proper sense of their accountability
as spiritually enlightened members Of
society, for there are many such, but
to counteract the inevitable tendency Of
|mining-camp life, to loosen moral re-
straints and familiarize men with the
vices begotten of the free-and- easy, not
to say lawless, state of things in q
wild and unsettled country. Then there
are Indians in Alaska to be converted,
and there are or will be others-white
men--as much in need of the persuasive
arguments of the missionaries as any of
the unlettered tribes that roam
where Africs sunny fountains
Roll down their golden sands"

on your bicycle skates you feel pretty
sure that something will happen, al
though you have no intention Of plan
ming it.
But humanity is frail and skates are
hard and vigorous. After you have gone
twenty miles or SO and have set the little
wood squirrels scrambling before you,
you see little smoke rising in the woods
ahead, and you guess the rest.
The bicycle skater meanwhile has had
his start and has skated all by himself
into the forest, and, getting tired, has
dismounted and thrown aside his skates.
He has felt shivery, poor fellow, and has
built himself little fire, and here, with
the aid of few twigs, he is planning a
o'clock tea.
There is not any real tea at o'clock
woods tea, unless the girl skater has had
one before, in which case she is thought
full enough to carry little tea caddy Ii

CHURCHLY NOTES
ooooooooooeooooooooooooot

The Michigan Presbyterian, referring
to changes in the pastorate of the vari-
Gus churches, of which a churchly note
was heretofore made by The Herald,
says that out of two hundred and twen-
ty-five ministers in the synod Of Michi-
gan only thirty-one have completed a
term Of five years, six of WHOM have
been in their present fields over ten
years. Change is the order Of the day.
The Golden Rule, the organ Of the
United Society Of Christian Endeavor,
assumed, on the first OF the current
month, a new name. Henceforth that
paper will be known as the Christian
Endeavor World, rather left-handed
nomenclature, but one under which the
good works Of the Golden Rule will be
continued with characteristic ability and
zeal.
An invasion Of England is In contem-
plation by the Russian Holy Synod, but
It will be peaceful, ecclesiastical and
literary in its character. The New York
Observer Is responsible for the statement
that four young Russian priests will
form the invading party, and will go to
England to study the movement of Eng
lish church literature with view OF
promoting an exchange of ecclesiastical
information between England and the
empire of the czar. 1t will be the pur-
pose, too, of this priestly delegation to
give instruction through the press re-
garding the principal doctrines of the
Greek faith. This Is eminently BETTING
a country as little understood by the
outside world as is Russia, whether as
regards the political structure of her
government or the doctrinal precepts Of
her church. 1t should be remembered
that the Greek church claims to be the
orthodox, apostolic successor of the
faith once delivered to the saints"

An interesting summary touching the
foreign missionary work Of the Chris
tian Alliance is given in The Church
economist. Its foreign work, says that
journal, reaches out to all parts of the
world. ut has more than three hundred
missionaries in nearly hundred sta
tions and in twelve different countries.
There are in China and Thibet about one
hundred and twenty missionaries In
in Japan with five American and over a
dozen native workers. In India there
are four great fields occupied by sixty
missionaries. On the Congo there are
about forty laborers in nine stations on
the banks of the river In the Soudan
there are twenty missions, while there
are a number In Palestine This is an
encouraging showing and proves that
though missionary progress is slow 1t Is
still progressing in results.
Z A detailed statement of the official
vote Of the ministers on the admission of
women to the general conference and on
the question of equal lay representation
Is published in recent issue of the
Western Christian Advocate. From this
1t appears that the vote on admission of
women was 7,455 for and 1885 against,
while the vote on equal representation
was 4,412 for and 1894 against. 1t is sig
nifcant that the affirmative vote on the
woman amendment showed falling Oft

negative vote showed an increase of
1880. A three fourths vote is required
to carry amendments Of this nature, so
that both amendments failed of adop-
ton. An analysis of the vote on the
admission of women diScloSes the fact
that twenty three conferences cast ma
jorities against It, and one cast tie
vote. The German conferences, it is
stated, were unanimous in voting
against the admission Of women.
And now comes bonnie Scotland to the
front with a Scottish version of the
"Song of Solomon in Scotch
dialect, that is one Of the new
est items of churchly incident in
these days of novelties and sur
prises, sacred and profane. An enter
prising firm of Glasgow we learn from
our contemporary, the Living Church
(Scotland), is about to meet the wants
and cater to the linguistic delights of
the Highlands Of old Scotia by repub-
fishing in Scotch dialect that
song of songs, whose true in
depreciation, after so many GEN.
turies of exegetic criticism, still puz-
following verses are given as specimens
of this latest venture in churchly litera-
ture:
"6. Set me as the seal epo' thine
HART, as the seal epo' thy arm; for luv
Is strang as deith; jealousy as cruel as
the grave; the Goals thereo' are Goals O.
fire bleezin' WI a maist awfu lowe.
~. Many waters Gamma slocken luv'.
neither can the spates droon it; gin a
mon wad gle a the handires' O. his
hoose for luv' they wad be altegither
scorned."
What Scotchman from Dan to Beers
heba, or rather from Glasgow to the
Klondike, will not hereafter claim the
Song of Solomon as a portion of his
mother tongue? We think the Glasgow
publishers entitled to credit for their en-
terprise. The flavor of the language
spoken by the Douglasses, the McGreg-
ors and the Bruces of old and which lent
such a charm to the sweet songs of Rob-
ert Burn cannot hurt rendition even
of the stately lines OF the royal singer of
Israel.
Mr.. Evelyn Cecil of the London school
board, writing in the National Review
(October) ON "The Religious Issue in
London" suggests adding the Apostles
creed to the religious instruction given
in the schools of that city. He would
insert into the rule dealing with relig-
ious instruction words to express that
such instruction is to be given on the
basis Of the Bible, the Lords prayer and
the Apostles creed. He says: Il would
then leave it to the honor of teachers
and I trust them-to ask to be relieved
from giving the religious instruction if
their convictions did not enable them
conscientiously to teach on that basis" "

Prof. ]. Rendell Harris Of Cambridge,
England, makes the startling statement
that the context Of the logia--of the
finding of which reference was hereto
fore made in our churchly notes
proves that there was an earlier gospel,
earlier and fuller than any of our
canonical gospels" This, if true, is OF
the most profound interest to believers
in Holy Writ. The professor affirms

ence of such earlier records was infera-

manage. He instantly turns sportsman
and finds all the chestnuts in the woods;
and, if he is very clever, he manages to
catch a squirrel or shoot low-running
bird, for no sportsman goes to the woods
without his guns, be he on foot or wheel.
With these stretched over spit he man
ages an impromptu supper, at which all
the bones are picked and salt and hum
ger are the only sauce.
Cupid attends these meetings in high
glee and fingers around stream and in
the woods, and when the picnickers
come back by the early moon in time for
an evening at home it is he who helps
buckle on the skates and flies ahead as
a steady pacemaker in the home run.
The woods are full of these little teas.
and the girl who has enjoyed a few Of
them learns to carry little kit of pro-
visions with her, such as makes her
mamma wonder why her fair daughter
purloins every day butter and potatoes,
bread and cakes and other little things
to eat.
The herald., 1897-11-28

The woods are full Of them, these red
brown days-full Of bicyclienne skaters.
The bicyclienne skater is one who,
finding the winter too brisk, or the roads
too heavy for her wheel, puts little
wheels upon her feet and starts out to
do a century run in new way.
The bicycle skater-a man this time
is he who makes up his mind that he
must take q constitutional every day.
and accordingly starts out about u
o'clock to get his run in the woods. He
intends to do century-for you can go
twenty miles on bicycle skates almost
as fast as you can go the same distance
on a wheel-but, alas for human calcu-
lations! The bicycle skater seldom full
fills his self-imposed mission.
1t is getting to be a wonderful fad-al-
most trick Of Cupid, you might say, to
arrange little meetings in the woods.
