THE OLD ROOM. BRISTOL, ENGLAND.


of England. In this room Francis As
bury offered himself for the work in
America in response to the request Of
Wesley for volunteers. In this same
building, in the room above, DIR. Coke
was set apart by Wesley as superintend-
ent and sent to America to establish
the Methodist Episcopal church in 1884.
The building is now owned and occu
pied by the Welsh Calvinistic Metho-
dists. Ebenezer chapel. belonging to
the Wesleyans, is just in front Of this
old room on King street. 1t was built
after the death of Wesley, when the
trustees of the old room refused to al
low Henry Moore to administer the
Lords Supper in that place, though he
had been ordained by Wesley with spe-
cial purpose to meet the exigency which
would be caused by the death Of the
founder of the societies.

Horace Greeley's Request Of . Proofreader.
Who Was Of Course Right.
Greeley, as Is we'll known, was a crank
on election figures and knew exactly how
every county and town In the state was In
the habit of going. A slight change In
favor of his own party would fill him with
satisfaction. One day he came into the
Office overjoyed that the Republicans had
carried Westminster county in q local cleo
ton AS usual, he wrote an editorial and
put a comparative table, compiled from
The Tribune almanac. in the middle Of the
article. When the pNper came out next
day, the figures were misplaced, the Re-
publican vote appeared In the Democratic
column. and vice versa, so that the com
ments did not at all fit the case stated
Mr.. Greeley came down In a towering
rage and in a whirlwind OF profanity de-
manded of the subordinate in charge
whether there was proofreader on the pa
per and whether any body in the Office had
a grain of sense.
"Why, yes, Mr. Greeley You know old
man So-and-so Is the proofreader and has
been for years But what is the natter"
"Matterl Blankety, blank, blank
Matterl Why. some blankety, blank blank
has gone to work and changed the figures
in that Westminster article so as to make
the blankest nonsense out of it''
Il don't think anybody would have
ventured to change your figures, Mr.. Gree

reader? You know he Is very careful -
IN do nothing of the kind, said the
old man as he shuffled up stairs. I'll kick
him out of the composing room. won't
be made fool in this way"
Up stairs there was a scene very like
that below, with the variation that Gree
ley told the proofreader that he ought to
be kicked from one end Of the composing
| room to the other With the proverbial
placidity of proofreaders and their provok.

oh, HELP US, GOOD CUREI
horse. A girl of 10 years came up from
the bottom of the ditch and ran toward
the able. AS she ran she cried, "Ob,
help us, good cure, if you please"
There was the ring Of the gypsy's voice
in her little prayer. She was clad only
in an old bodice and red skirt, while
her skin looked like freshly tanned
leather. She had large eyes, black and
velvety, and lips that pouted like red
cherries; her yellow arms were tattooed
with blue flowers, and leather band
kept up her black hair, which was
spread out like a fan on each side Of her
thin face just as one sees it on the
faces Of the Egyptians.
AS the able slackened his steps he
had taken penny out of his purse. AS
ne met the eyes of the girl he came to a
halt and began to question her. my
brother is in prison." she explained,
Tor some one accused him of having
stolen fowl. He was our only support,
and now we have had nothing to eat for
two days" The able put the two sous
back into the purse and took 2 franc
piece out Of it. But" the girl went
on, Il know how to juggle, and my
mother tells fortunes. Now we are not
allowed to perform in the towns and
villages, because we are too poorly clad.
The old horse is dead. What will be-
come of us?''
But, asked the able, "can you not
md work in the country?"
The folks are frightened of us and
throw stones at u.s." replied the girl.
We have never learned to work, and
we can only do tricks. II we had a horse
and little money for clothes, we should
soon be able to make living But now
there is nothing left for us to do"
The able replaced the piece of 2 francs
In his purse.
"Doyou love the good God?" he asked.
i should love him if he came to our
help," answered the girl.
The able felt at his girdle the pres
sure OF the bag containing the 100
crowns. The dark eyes of the gypsy girl
looked him full in the face
he asked, Are you a good grip"
Good?" said the girl. with surprise.
Say, o God, love your" contin-
ued the good able.
The child was silent, and her eyes
niled with tears.
The able unfastened the buttons OF
MS cassock and withdrew the bag full
OF money.
With the quickness of a monkey the
gypsy snatched the bag away, saying,
Un' M. liable, I love you'll and ran
on TO the two old people still weeping
over the dead horse.

Utilitarian.

A certain esteemed clergyman whose
church is i'm the most attractive part OF
the city, but who for present purposes
must remain nameless, was feeling lit
tie ''pardonable pride" in having succeed
ed, after years of soliciting, in raising
enough money to provide his church with
a set of chimes.
As every one took the first occasion to
congratulate him it was quite natural that
on meeting Mrs. Blunt, one of his most
fashionable parishioners, he should say
in his happy enthusiasm: And how do
you like the new chimes, Mrs. Blunt
You must be glad to hear those good old
hymns at night They must remind
you
YES" she interrupted, THAT is so.
Since the chimes began I've taken my

Some Wonderful Figures.

Figures on the light and heat of the sun
are the most startling that can possibly
be presented. The astronomers measure
the amount of heat and light emitted by
the sun by estimating that the earth inter
cepts about the two billion three hundred
millionth part lit. Thus it is found that
in every second of time the sun emits as
much heat as would result from the sud-
den combustion of IL, 600, 600, 900, 600 tons
of pure COAL 1t may be interesting to the
reader to know that each portion of the
suns surface as large as this earth emits
rs much heat per second as would result
from the combustion of 1000, 600, 900 tons
of the best anthracite fuel.-St. Louis Re-

League Topics.

1t will be noticed that the League
topics for the present year are of more
strictly practical and devotional char
acter than for some time past. This is
movement in the right direction. Ear
nest, aggressive piety is the need of our
young people. The place to develop this
is in the devotional meeting.
A joint committee of the Epworth
League and Christian Endeavor is to
arrange uniform topics for the devo-
tional meetings. This will be a long
step toward substantial unity. The
Sunday schools Of the evangelical
churches study the same lessons. Why
should not all the Young Peoples socie-
ties unite also in studying the same
topics?

Topic Directed to Personal work.
scRIPTuRE REApING.-Acts viii, $50.
The martyrdom of Stephen seemed as
severe blow to the followers Of Jesus
in Jerusalem as could be inflicted upon
them. He was the one man capable in
argument Of silencing all opponents In
the synagogues. With his death they
lost their best defender. The necessary
dispersion of the flock was also
source Of deep regret. Both Of these
seeming calamities proved, in the wis
dom of God, of inestimable benefit to
the cause Of Christ. Stephens death
had much to do with Saul's conversion.
The scattering of the disciples was the
means of propagating the gospel in
places where the followers of Jesus
might never otherwise have gone.
Philip was made deacon to assist in
relieving the needs of the poor in the
church at Jerusalem. He became an
evangelist of remarkable gifts. His sue
cess lay in close personal work. After
campaign of marvellous power in Sa-
maria he feels impelled to go into the
region between Jerusalem and GAIA.
Careful reading of the Scripture lesson
discloses to us his methods of work. He
is bold, but not obtrusive; strategic,
but not tricky; prompt, but not impetu-
ous He overhears the eunuch reading.
He skillfully seizes the occasion to
preach Christ. He secures an invitation
to explain the Scriptures without SEEM
ing to force himself forward. His per-
feet courtesy coupled with entire candor
obtains for him believer as well as a
willing nearer. He neither feels fiatter-
ed nor confused by the prC sence OF the
great man of Ethiopia. He feels at
home in this presence because SO filled
with the message of his Master.
Personal work is difficult to most
young Christians. Skill in approaching
others is rarely natural gift, but must
be acquired through much practice and
often through humiliating failures and
rebuffs. Efficiency in helping others in
spiritual difficulties does not grow spon-
taneously. 1t comes in most cases. If it
comes at all, after passing through
trials in ones own experience and learn
ing in the school of pain how to bind
| up wounds and cure hurts. Philip came
| to the great work of his life otter years
of preparation. Be patient and do the
duty that lies at hand thoroughly, and
when God needs messenger for spe-
cial mission He will know where to find
one prepared.
Philips instant obedience to the
prompting of the Spirit is not the least
noticeable of his characteristics. The
alacrity with which one obeys the i'm
pressions of duty is clear index Of the
depth and genuineness of his devotion.
