(FrOut the London Dally NALL
The official residence of the First Com
moner in the first empire on earth does
not strike one with admiration. On the
contrary. No. 10 Downing Street. as it is
called in the directory. is a distinctly out
of-date. dingy. old building, of that soul
depressing. Widowed type which pre-
vailed when George II was King. Never
theless, here it is that the First Lord Of
the British nations Treasury is entitled to
live at the nations expense. Here. too,
have frequently been held those Cabinet
councils by which the nations destiny is al
ternately advanced and retarded. according
as their decisions are wise or otherwise
The first occupant Of NO. TO- was the
celebrated Sir Robert Walpole, upon whom
and his successors in the office of First
Lord George II conferred the building as
an official residence forever" Here, too.
came the much maligned North. whose
most abiding feat OF government was the
loss of the American colonies. He was fol-
lowed by Pitt who seems to have been one
of the few inhabitants who really liked
the place, and Perceval, who weathered the
stormy years Of his official existence from
its sheltering portals.
Lord Liverpool and Canning both made

Grey; but after his time it was compare

ment to the untiriRg energy and devotion
of a man whose personal magnetism for
and good influence with young men still
serve as the incentive to greater effort
among his scholars.
f. W. Vaughn. the founder and teacher
OF the Glass. was born in Niagara county,
n Y. on November 6. 1899 where he re-
ceived his early training on a farm. When
5he civil war broke out he entered the
service Of the Union and served with gal
lautry until wounded in the left arm at
the battle OF Cold Harbor. Va. the injury
being Of such a nature as to necessitate
his discharge which took place May 81,
1866. Being incapacitated TO follow his
former occupation. Mr.. Vaughn was ap-
pointed to q position in the Pension Bu-
reau. in which branch Of the Government
he is still employed. Coming from the
simplicity of a country home into a
strange city and among strangers. Mr..
Vaughn first became acquainted with those
who led him into a sphere Of congenial
work in the church. thus deepening his
sympathy for those Of like experience and
strengthening his determination to work
for the moral and social uplifting Of man
kind generally.
The illustration Of the acorn and the oak
is well exemplifed in the origin and
growth Of the Vaughn Glass. In January,
1859. Mr. Vaughn. believing that there was
a large number OF young men. both per-
manent residents and strangers. who were
receiving no religious instruction from
Sunday schools, and being thoroughly i'm
bued with the importance Of systematic
effort looking to that end, requested Of the
officials Of Calvary Baptist Sunday School
the privilege OF forming a class for young
men who were not already Identified with
any Sunday school Permission was grant

Tuary 9. 1889. showed an attendance Of five
members: E. G. Rice. W P. Stoval, J. l.

AN UNFAIR INFERENCE.
a Parishioner Whose Curiosity Out
weighed Her Charity.

From the New YORK Commercial tdvertiser)
a clergyman Of this city. who does much
good by stealth and bushes to find it fame.
related the following little story to a friend
recently as an example Of the highly de-
veloped powers some people have for max
ing deductions especially where there is a
chance to impugn the motives and charac-
ter Of some one else. He said:
Some time ago a young woman came
to this city in practically destitute circum-
stances. that is. she had through force OF
circumstances. been thrown on her own re-
sources. She came to my church and
formed her acquaintance. / learned that
she had secured work liz a store here, and
that she was a very conscientious employee.
She was very regular in her church attend
ance and took a deep interest IN church
work She was given a class to teach in
the Sunday school and she taught it well.
All went well until she lost her place,
through no fault Of her own, however.
Then she was in trouble for her money
was almost gone and she had no prospect
Of making anything Immediately. She
came to me after her money had given out
and asked me to help her get a place. She
told me frankly that she was out Of money
and her board bill was overdue
Il promised to do all could to get her
