Some VeXing Problems.

| To the Editor Of the Journal and Courier:
Whatever may be true of other de-
nominations, the Congregational church.
es in this country are now face
to face with two vexing problems, viz,
what to do with their unemployed min
| listers, and what to do with the burden
| some debts Of their benevolent and
| missionary societies. Occasionally a
man enjoying good health and fair in
come takes the ground that the first
| problem is myth, that there are no
available, unemployed Congregational
ministers; that the churches outnumber
the ministers by actual count, etc
But those ministers, and there are
many of them, who have been vainly
trying for months, yes, years, some of
them, to secure a settlement, and those
who, at this moment, are face to face
with the painful necessity Of making
"a change" know from sad experience
that the first problem is no myth AS
to the second problem, the debts of the
benevolent and missionary societies Of
the denomination. all admit and deplore
that, and all would thankfully welcome
an effectual remedy.
The object of this paper, however. is
not to suggest remedy for either Of
the evils named, but simply to call at
tention to the real cause of both.
1t has often been claimed that the
first problem could be effectually solved
by suitable UNCONVENTIONAL provision
for bringing together, in proper way,
"churchless ministers and pastorless
churches" Many have firmly believed
in the wisdom of this suggestion, hence
ministerial bureaus" have been estab-
lished la different parts OF the country
to perform that kind Of service. A
few years ago, the General Association
of the Congregational ministers and
churches in Massachusetts established
for the same purpose O. Board of Pas
toral Supply" thereby adding another
society" for the churches in that state
to support.
The General Conference of the Con-
gregational churches in Connecticut, at
its last annual meeting, appointed a
committee of five for the same purpose,
two Of it's members being Theological
Professors The aim of this move
ment Is plain enough, namely, to aid
the two rival Divinity Schools" in the
state to place their students as sup
plies and pastors in the churches Of

GLACIAL INFL UENCE.

We have heard much about the effect
of the glacier on the Green upon the
health and spirits of those who live,
move and have their being in the col
lege, but there were few who really ap-
preciated the extent and power Of it's
influence. After the performance of
Saturday night it is plain that the gla-
cier ought to move or be moved soon.
If 1t doesn't or isn't there is no telling
what some of the sensitive and impress
sionable young gentlemen of Yale may
do. Saturday night the glacier so
worked on some of them that they
went clear out of their powerful minds,
and several Of them went clear into the
police office in charge of policemen.
They were extricated and cared for by
sympathizing friends and will proba-
bly, have recovered their reason by the
time the City court opens this morning
But it is a sad thing to see so much
massive and scintillating intellect tenn
porarily awry. Move the glacier before
it causes another and worse outbreak.

SIDEPATHS IN NEW YORK.

Bicyclists in New York are pleased
with a bill which has been reported
by the Assembly Judiciary committee.
This measure Is described as "a bill
to provide for the appointment Of side
path commissioners and to define their
duties and authorize the construction
of sidepaths for bicycles and to license
bicycles" According to it, the county
judge, on the application of fifteen resi-
dent wheelmen of a county, Is to ap-
point five persons as board of side
path commissioners for the county for
terms of one, two, three, four and five
years respectively. Their successors
are to hold office for the full term of
five years each The board Is to have
power to repair and maintain paths
and construct new ones along any road
outside the limits of cities and in viii
lagos with the consent of the authori-
ties. No sidepath is to be constructed
on or along any sidewalk without the
consent of the owners of at least one
half of the AUDITING lands The COM
missioners are to adopt a form of IL
cense to consist of an inscription,

OXolin is made from lnseed oil and tow

others believe that it will answer excel

is applied.

ONE MORE UNFORTUNATE.

The Rev. DR.. Swallow, of Harris
burg, Pennsylvania, is wiser and sad
der than he was. He thought, as many
good men have thought. that new
paper was needed to meet long, felt
want" So he started a religious daily.
He has just stopped it, after having had
experience such as he speaks of in bis
valedictory as follows: We sent APP
peals to the ministers Of the State,
showing that we were publishing the
kind of paper the pulpit had been de-
handing for several years. No liquor.
or beer, or tobacco, or ow-down
shows, or quack medicines advertised,
but just such a clean, anti-boss, anti
syndicates, AUTHORIZATION sheet as
they asked for, and while they might
not need it, yet their subscribing and
paying one penny day for three hun
bred days would make Its publication
possible for the large number of people
who did need it. The result was a re-
Spouse of one pastor to one thousand
appealed to by us.
If DR.. Swallow can't make a strictly
religious daily go we should like to
know who can. Perhaps his failure Is
somewhat explained by the fact that in
Pennsylvania, as in other States, there
are already daily papers which fairly
we'll satisfy the moral sense of their
readers and give the news too.

A new railroad from Germany to
italy is being considered and is to be
called the Vintschgau railroad. 1t will
start from Landeck, on the Arlberg line,
and run through the Vintschgau valley
BY Observation-Disclosures, Meran, Trafoi,
and Bormio to Milan. The construction
Of such road would give the shortest
route from North Germany to Italy,
and in it's course it would run through
the Ort1er mountain group and traverse
the famous Stilfserjoch. the highest
road in Europe, by tunnel about five
miles in length. The railroad Is to be
built by Austria, but aid is desired from
Germany, on the ground that that en-
pire would derive the greatest advan-
tage from its construction.
