Bishop Newman, the venerable divine
of the Methodist Church, has kept an
unbroken diary since 1860. Probably no

few have met and known more famous
men than the Bishop. and if he ever con-
journal it win undoubtedly rank among
The few great diaries of history. IN g
recent interview with Dexter Marshall
the Bishop said:-"I have rarely lived a
day without meeting some one with some
thing to say worth preserving, and for
years the bulk of my daily entries has

The indications are that the Presby-
terians will choose for moderator of the
General Assembly at Winona next month
a man who was ordained after the union
of the old and new schools. This union
took place in 1871, and all moderators since
then have been men who belonged to one
that time. The men most to the front
now are the Rev. DR.. Tuenis s. Hamlin,
of the Church of the Covenant, Washing
ton; the Rev. DR.. J. Nee. Blaney,- of
Even, of the Third Church, Pittsburg,
and the Rev. DR.. Howard Dufieid, of the
First Church, New York. There is also
some talk of the Rev. Henry c.. Minton, of
a Francisco.
The Missionary Union, the foreign board
of the Baptist denomination, fears it will
not be able TO end Its nScal year snort OF
a debt of 100000. This blow is the result
of a heavy decline in contributions from
large churches. Some of these churches
are in New England, and CAV heavily
toward the old debt. which John d.. Rookie
Teller helped to pay off. These churches
now say they can raise no more this year.
The Union is holding it's books open ten
lays longer than usual, and is making
efforts to bring the debt down to STE, 900.
The Booth Salvation Army tour this
spring is but a preliminary to the greater
demonstration which it is proposed to
make next November. 1t has been the
custom of the Army to hold, once in three
years, what the Booths are pleased to call
an International Congress-. It is held at
Crystal Palace, just outside London, and
has been attended by as many as $4,000
people. The present is the year for this
congress-, and it is to be held in New York
instead of London. Three thousand dele
gates are promised from Canada, Scan
dinavia, Australia. Great Britain, Ger
many, Mexico, and nearly every other
part of the world.
The Congregational Home and the publ
cation societies IA Joined in undertake
ing work in Alaska. They lave appointed
the Rev. T.. w. Writ, now superintendent
of the Sunday-school Society work in

in Alaska and reports that miners leave
their families at the foot of the passes,
while they themselves go on to explore
the gold country. 1t is at Chilcoot Pass
tina Congregati0naliStS propose to found
