Referring to London. Mr.. Brown was
impressed with its immensely, and con.
tinuing, said: "Why Its population is
5000, 600 and you go miles and miles
without leaving the corporate limits.
Hardly a manTdoes business in London
that does not live all the way from to
80 miles from his place of business. My
home In London Is near the Crystal Pal.
ace, and that Ereminds me, 1t was only
yesterday while standing en- the Western
Promenade in Portland that l remarked
to my daughter what similarity there
was in the view from the promenade
and that from the palace. The absence
of water from the latter view was the
most notable: difference
"The day before l came away there was
o foot ball match at the palace and not
less than 77.O0O people we're assembled.
On bank holiday. two weeks previous,
there were 90. 900 persons present. when
such events as these are at hand, the
common. people turn out in big numbers
and swarm right up in the aristocratic
sections and are made to feel perfectly at
home.
"The American in London feels just
as much at home, after he gets used to
the ways of the English people, as he
would in New York. In going through
the streets of London you see almost in
variably English names, while In
New York more than half the names in
dictate foreign nationalities. But want
to say that New York is the finest city
In the world though the noise of the
elevated roads is rather trying to mans
nerves. 1t strikes me that New York
gives one the impression of being big
ger city than London.
There is no country in the world that
does SO much for its poor as America.
Take the matter of travel on the rail
roads. Here q man steps up and buys
a ticket which entitled him to ride in
almost any part of the train, save of
course the Pullman car. In England
the poor man has to content himself with
a third class ticket and the railroad az
oommodations are suited to the different
purses OF their patroDs--tirst class, Sec
ond Gloss, third class, etc. +"
MIR. Brown has not done much paint
ing of late years, but has found the gal
leries of the old world delightful places
of resort to crafty his cultivated artis-
tic tastes Hei was accompanied on his
last trip by Mr.. and Mrs. Severns. The
former is now in California, while Mrs.
Sevrens Ia staying in the city.
The party will return to London after
Mr.. Severns gets back from his visit in

rather short visit and will not be able

Moore and her daughter. Mabel, who
were now In England, were expected

REDEMPTIVE WORK.
Able Sermon Delivered by the Rev. N
n. whitaker Yesterday.

The Rev. N. I. Whitaker, formerly
pastor of the Chestnut street church, ad-
dressed large congregation yesterday af-
ternoon at, this church. He took for his
subject THE Kedemptive Work of
Christ" and drawing picture Of the old
Scottish custom of dipping 1.-The GROSS in
sleeps blood and sending 1t forth among
the clans to gather them together to repel
invasions of their enemies built up around
this picture his sermon which was ex-
tremely eloquent and interesting. He
spoke of the long years Of preparation
which preceded the appearance of Christ
who reaped the harvest In short time
His coming I had been predicted thou
sands of years before He, came and He
was preceded by many who planted the
harvest which He was to reap. The
preacher then applied this to the work in
the church Of the present day. He spoke
of the $500 years of preparation by the
church which preceded the reaping Of the
harvest which is now taking place all
over the world. A hundred years ago the
church had no missionaries in the field,
there were only i've millions of Bibles in
use and the churches spent little money
in spreading the gospel Of Christ Today
there are millions of converts to Christi
anity in heather lands, 2s6 missionary
societies in existenos, $1,000 missionaries
at work in foreign fields and over 23s, 600
600 of Bibles in the world. The. work of
redemption which is now going on has
never teen equalled since the day of
Christ. The religion of Christ is gaining
in strength and in the numbers OF its
converts every day and the worshippers of
Nj ohammedan and Buddah are every
where becoming converted to the Christ
ian religion.

Leaving a deficit of 80. &C.

n2r. N. u, McAloney, STRAIGHTFORWARD
of the Sunday school, gave the following
report OF the work for the year: Tho
past year has been the most trying one in
every way and In every department Of the
work of the school in the experience of
the mission on account Of the hard times,
lack Of employment and the large
amount Of sickness among the children,
the attendance has been most fearfully
decreased, falling of fully thirty three
per cent from any previous year. The
total attendance has been one thousand
six hundred and fifty-seven. During the
year, one hundred and twenty three visits
have BEEN made upon parents and schol.
ars OF the school, one hundred and seven
ty -four articles Of clothing have been fur
nished and sixty -one pairs OF boots, shoes
and rubbers provided. The articles OF
clothing so thoughtfully donated to our
work have done vast amount of good
during the past winter and have been
highly appreciated by the recipients, and
prevented much suffering during tine cold
and trying season. On the fourteenth OF
July, about one hundred and seventy five
of the mission school and friends went on
the animal excursion and picnic to Long
leland, Where different amusements were
provided for all and good supply of re-
freshmsnts was furnished, SO that all who
were privileged to participate, enjoyed
the day. Never in the experience OF the
Mission school had the annual festival Of
y, viefsr frao hoa lonkad forward 70
with more hopeful anticipations by chill
dren of the Sunday school, than last year.
The hard times were being most severely
felt, restitution was being experienced on
every hand, death had during the year re-
moved many who had never forgotten US
in their contributions. and the school he.
ing without funds and In debt. every
thing looked so dark and unpromisirg
that the little hearts were filed with
doubts. But God never forgets his trust
ing children. and by benevolent hearts
aud willing hands, every need was amply
provided for. Two very large trees were
erected at the altar and were loaded with
useful and ornamental articles, consist
ing of wearing apparel, household goods,
groceries, toys, books and confectionery.
At eight clock the hall was filled with
an expectant company and after a praise
service the distribution was begun and
for two hours the committees we're kept
busy and at the close none had been over
looked or forgotten.
The great and pressing need of our
school for the past year has been a lack of
teachers, and 1t is hoped that God will in
the near future raise up at least some who
are willing to aid us in this branch of the
work. At the close of the reports, the
scholars of the school presented very
pleasing, interesting and instructive pro-
Gramine, heonsisting OF singing. readings.
reoitations and dialogues.
The exercises closed by singing "Blest
