l hear the clanting of the psalm upon
the quiet air.
I see the bending heads and feel the
hush that follows prayer.
The while my eyes have crossed the
church and whispered she is there
The light that in the quiet dawn
Broke through the bar Of heaven,
And wandered eastward seeking rest,
And found no rest fwas given;
Falls through the window on her face,
And fingers there at even.
Till 1 half dreamed that I have winged
Beyond the flood Of space.
Beyond the barriers OF God,
Within his holy place;
And by the silver waters stilled,
Have seen an angels face.
The silent fame that fills her soul.
Her lips have voiced in prayer:
/ listened eagerly, rerchance
Ny name may Enger there.
But naught Of me is I'm the words,
She breathes upon the air.
The latest prayer is said, beyond
The west slow dies the light !.
The music with a broken wing
Has fallen in its flight;
And l who vainly seek fer rest,
Am restless turned toward the night

BAPTIST NEW PROJECTS.


Following their May anniversaries. Bap-
fists have a number Of new projects; in
hand. The Southern Baptist Convention
voted to create d new piece Of machinery
in the form of a committee of nine-three
from each Of the three boards of the con-
yentior-to adjust so far as practicable
the relations of tile boards to each other,
and the relations OF all to the State Con
vention ard to stimulate contributions
for the various objects Of the conven-
ton The plan contemplates the appoint
ment Of a saaried secretary, with clerical
assistants The scheme was vigorously
advocated, and as vigorously opposed.
Leading Baptist papers of the South are
against it; some are for it, and it is
likely to be an exceedingly live issue
during the coming year.
Northern Baptists have named gen
eral committee representing all large
benevolent societies and several women's
societies to consider the relative amounts
which the denomination should be asked
to furnish for the different benevolent
enterprises. and also to consider the prac
ticabflity of more closely co-ordinating
the different departments of denomina-
tional work. Another committee is TO
report by December upon a proper form
fo, celebrating at the anniversaries next
wear probably to be held in Springfield,
Mass, the new century of the Christian
era. a SuSSeStlon WAS iidue thdl hlieie
be held a conference on home missions
similar to the recent world one on foreign
missions. but it is not meeting much
encouragement The Missionary Union.
the foreign body of the denomination,
proposed the doing away with the money
qualification for membership. This is con
sidered a radical move, and one not likely
to come to anything.
Disciples of Christ have named an exec
utive committee for their Eastern District
mission field, and have decided to place
in the field q generalj evangelist. The
field embraces the wh5e Atlantic sea-
board. and especially interests Christians
because in these States their denomination
is weak. The committee has voted to
raise an evangalistic fund. and VIII ask
the Christian Missionary Society to CO.
operate to the extent of assisting a prom

If is learned that the feeling of the board
ie that dioceses that undertake to be indie
pendent ought really to be such, and to
do their own mission work. Receipts OF
the board to date are no greater than last
wear. although the churches have been
told that expenses are much heavier TINS
wear than last. There is gain OF $1,000
in receipts from the Sunday-sciooi emil
dren. That is all. Denial is made that
work at home is l,sing cut in order TO
extend work abroad, notably in the iail-
ippines, ard clergy are being told that
The action of the board is final. Work
abroad is being extended to some extent
but chiefly by special gifts. The increased
demands come from Indian and coloreG
work, and from the missionary Jurlalc-
tons, which are pre-e1ninenfiy MISSION
