CONFIRMATION AT TAKoMA.
The Ceremonies Presided Over D,
Uishop SutterIee,

Bishop Satterlee yesterday conducted
the annual confirmation services at Trim
ity Episcopal Church, Takoma Park. The
church was crowded. The brightness of
tn day and the inspiring words of the
Bishop to the confirmation class helped
to make the service a memorable one.
Bishop Satterlee chose for his text the
description by Mark of the incident of
the early rising by Christ, TO pray before
beginning his labors.
''All things work together for good to
them that love God. he quoted Every
cloud has its silver lining Looked at
as God looks at them, from above, all
things are for the best. Prayer helps the
Christian TO the spirit of contentedness.
to peace. II helps him to get away from
the worries that distract from his work
and do no good. Prayer and meditation are
thus the greatest aids to success in work.
The man that prays can do more work.
The time taken for prayer is thus time
saved and not time wasted
Bishop Satterlee described the immense
amount Of work doLH by Christ In the
three years OF his ministry. He went the
circuit Of Galliiee five times during these
three years, visiting all the towns each
time or nearly all OF them probably He
must have made at least 200 such visits
TO different towns and villages in this
time He Travelled ON foot from town to
town.

MISSION WORK IN FRANCE.
The Rev. s. Il. Rossiter Tells of Re-
suits Ohfnined nv Robert McAIl.

The Rev. s. b. Rossiter, d. D., Secre-
tary of the McAll Mission. Paris. off,
ciated at the morning services yesterday
at the First Baptist Church, Sixteenth
and o Streets northwest. discoursing
upon the evangelization of France. After
the sermon a collection was made for the
benefit of the cause represented by DR..
Rossiter.
DIR. Rossiter said, in part:
I'm the Book of Revelations the promise
is made that an angel would fly down
from heaven with "a little book. open.
Revelations is a book that is difficult to
understand. There are as many interpre-
tations as there are chapters. But all
Christian commentators agree that this
passage referred and pointed forward to
the reformation. Martin Luther was
tweEty-one years of age when. for the
first time. he held an open Bible in his
| hand. What moment IN the history of
| that man, What a moment in the history
of the world was the beginning IF the

gcing on now In that country which al
most entirely rejected the first reforma-
| ton. 1t is going on almost in the same
way as the first reformation Robert
McAll is the author of the second refor-
nation, as Martin Luther was of the first.
| II have word to say concerning the

nine years ago. when Robert McAn com

possible to obtain a Bible in all France:
| IL is not so now. From the first We spread

| Exposition we placed-a Bible IN the hands

one of which the clergyman held in his
hand, he explained was an edition IN
which selected passages were underScoreo
for the purpose of drawing attention TO
their Significance. Continuing. he said:
The work of the mission reaches out
to the rich, to the poor, to the deaf. TO
the dumb, and to the blind. Right here
in Washington is a deaf and dumb insti-
tuition and ii was through that institu-
ton that sum of money was subscribed

Russia Has Holy
Four Billion
Fund.

must be Of the Greek church, except
under some privileged exceptions. The
weekly offering to the church never
fails. 1t is contributed by the czar, by
the mobiles, by the soldiers, and by
every individual employed by the gov
ernment in any capacity whatever. Be
sides this is to be reckoned the stream
of treasure poured in dolly by all other
classes, including the poorest mouJik,
The revenues from the sale Of holy
candles alone amount to fabulous
sum. The expenditure of the Russian
church does not absorb half of the
amount of her revenues, and all that
can be spared goes into the Holy Gold
Fund.
It is estimated that half OF the an
nual additions to the gold fund come
from the mines and half from the Of
fering to the church. The fact that
the church is the collector and custo-
dian Of the great war fund makes the
Procurator of the Holy Synod and Min
lister Of Religion as important man IN
the financial affairs of the empire as
the minister Of finance himself
A Lesson Of MOSCOW.
The collection Of this fund was be-
gun in its present form after the
burning of Moscow by Napoleon, and
ever since it has been one of the great
aims Of the government. The growth
of church wealth and the development
of mining have combined to pile up
the increment. A quarter OF century
ago the fund amounted to 5O,OO0,00O.
1t is supposed now to amount to $4,-
900 100000. A singular thing is that
not a copeck of this Holy Gold Fund
was touched to meet the expense Of
the Crimean war. The effect of lock-
ing up this vast amount Of money must
effect materially the prosperity Of
Russia, and it is no wonder that she
has hard work to make both ends meet
with her yearly budgets.-Chicago Am

Trees Planted by Bluejays.

An old-time Arizona woodchopper
says the bluejays have planted thou
sands of the trees now growing all
over Arizona. He says these bird5
have habit of burying small seed In
the ground with their beaks, and that
they frequent pinon trees and bury
large numbers of the small pine nuts
in the ground, many Of which sprout
and grow. He was walking through
the pines with an eastern gentleman a
short time ago when one of these birds
flew from tree to the ground, stuck
his bill in the earth and quickly flew
away. When told what had happened
the eastern man was skeptical, but the
two went to the spot and, with knife
blade, dug out sound pine nut from a
depth of about an inch and a half.
Thus it will be seen that nature has
plans of her own for forest perpetua-

IS READY
FOR WAR

Russia generally is looked upon as g
hard up" nation. always lowering on
the verge of bankruptcy, and the state
OF her finances is pointed to as rea-
son why she will not seek fight with
another nation. Russia has. however
one great source of supply whence she
can draw gold enough to furnish all
the "sinews of war" needful for any
night she may see fit to go into. The
Holy Gold Fund" is one OF the mys-
tsries of the great northern empire
With 1t, some students of Russian af-
fairs say. she can afford better to incur
the enormous expenditure of a CAM
paign than Germany, Austria Or
France. 1t is said to be the largest &C.
cret gold deposit on earth, some esti-
mates placing the amount as high as
$4,000, 600, 900. In comparison with this
immense sum the $30,O00,000 which
Germany has slowed away against a
time OF trouble in the vaults Of the
castle Of Spandau sinks into insign.fi-
canoe. Though the czar Is master OF
this great war chest he, himself, prob
ably, does not know Just how much it
contains. The fund has been piling
up for many years and is increasing
quietly every day. When the periodi-
cal famine comes in Central Russia 1t
is found that nothing has been done in
the afflicted provinces which should
have been done by a paternal govern
ment. Roads should have been kept in
order and stores accumulated. But
that would have necessitated trenchlng
upon the revenues of the Holy Gold
Fund. and the war chest must have its
dues whatever happens. Various agen-
cies, public and private, are set on foot
to assist the starving moujik. but the
harm has been done. Not single CO.
peck for their relief, however, comes
out Of the Holy Gold Fund.
