Religious Work, at Buffalo Fair. :
The Evangelist announces that q
plan has been definitely settled upon
for religious work at the forthcoming
Pan-American exposition in Buffalo
The initiative to this kind of religious
| work came from the late Robert Noah,
who, in addition to the missions which
he had already planted if Paris, en-
larged his work during the exposition
of 1878 by establishing mission hall
close to one of it's principal entrances
Eleven years later and again II years
later this work was repeated. Impor-
tant and lasting results came from all
three endeavors. It is, believed that
such a mission on a larger scale would
have proportionately increased results
at Buffalo, and therefore The Evangel-
list proposes to invite the cooperation
of number of men of national reputa-
ton to serve as a committee of direc-
ton. 49,
Representing the whole country, they
would thus make the endeavor genu-
inely national. Daily preaching serv-
ices are to be carried on, not so much
by professional evangelists as by
preachers of wide reputation and from
all denominations. The proposed work
will not be characteristic of revival or
Of evangelistic endeavors in the usual
acceptation Of those terms, nor, on the
other hand, will it merely offer an op.
portunity to See and hear celebrities.
The direct object of this work, it is
| understood, is to bring the visitors at
the exposition under the influence of
the best and wisest preachers Of the
gospel. Commenting on the plan, The
Outlook says: THAT this effort will
prove successful we do not doubt. It
will be founded on two encouraging
circumstances the fact that nev-
er in the history of Christianity has
there been more universal call to con-
secration and, second, that never has
| there been as quick response to that

From the reports Of the bureau of
American republics are gathered some
| interesting statistics touching the in
dustrial development of Mexico and
the South and Central American states.
Relatively the recent progress Of some
Of them has been as great as that of
| the United States. From every part of
| the southern section Of the hemisphere
come reports Of enterprise and activity.
The story is the same from the Rio
| Grande to Patagonia. In Argentina
dozen railroads are building and pro-
| jected. At Belle Horizonte, the CAPT
tai Of the state of Minas Geraes, in
Brazil, permanent exposition of the
states industries and products is to be
inaugurated. This state, which has as
many inhabitants. as Illinois, is making
great strides in every particular, and
its gold product last year exceeded 49,
100000. Scores of new factories are
being established in Brazil, largely
with foreign capital. New coal and
copper mines are being developed in
Chile. Wooden and cotton factories are
being established there for the first
time, and beetss are being raised and
sugar refneries built. The breweries
are to be formed into trust. The most
important railroad enterprise in Chile
is the Central railway, which is. to be
extended ], 300 kilometers at q cost of
$50, 0O0,0 900. Nearly every republic has
railroad enterprises on foot, and agri-
cultural resources are being developed
everywhere. It is gratifying to note
that with this industrial activity there
has come change In the sentiment Of
most of the Latin American states to-
ward this country, which is looked up-
on with more friendliness than hereto
fore. {: -.
The mother Of Jennie Bosschieter is
reported to be unconsoled and uncon-
solable because the young men held re-
sponsible for the death Of her daughter
are not to suffer the death penalty, but
are sentenced to long terms of impris-
onment This is but natural. Howey-
er, had she insisted upon a mothers
privilege Of knowing what sort Of COM
pany her daughter was keeping last
October and where she was spending
her leisure time, as it was a mothers
plain duty to do, the tragedy might
never have occurred.
