The enlargement of a church at
Quincy, Mich, and its recent rededi-
cation testify new to the power one
person may exert in a community.
Thirty years ago Quincy was but a
hamlet, and the Presbyterian church
being reduced to a single member, the
presbytery dissolved the church and
sent a committee to get the minutes.
Mrs. Patter refused either to give UP
the minutes or to be dissolved"
"Wha the presbytery should do" was
her plucky answer, "is to send us a
minister" Her advice was taken, and
today the church is happy, hopeful and
dourishing. It lived simply because
one earnest Christian woman would
not let it die.

resembling a typewriter, which multi

and q multiplier as large, and he will
write them out as upon a typewriter;
then he turns a handle a few times,

going on, the product is written out

examples in division with equal ease.
Does any one of u young readers
fancy that he sees in this invention an

century from the vexation Of the null
tiplication table? Alas! that is too
much for him to hope.
