The police captain in New York Ia
the car of his precinct, and public Vir'
tue or vice prevails in his district In
proportion as he is vigilant or lax In
the enforcement Of law. A police cap
tain very quickly acquires reputation
among the criminal element in the
city. If he is known to be easy going
or crooked or a condoner Of evil, If his
own private life, represented by his
talk, by his lax conduct off duty, shows
him to be a man without high princt'
pie, the criminal element will flock to
his precinct. On the other hand, the
people Of the rogues' gallery will Ratu
rally avoid the precinct Of a yigllan'
and high minded police captain in the
same way as the rats will scampeI
into their dark holes when Il flood OF
sunlight is thrown in on them.
The proper estimate has not been
placed, in my judgment, on the posi-
ton and office of the precinct com
manders. None but the best equipped
men morally and otherwise should be
chosen for this responsible position
Their salary should be made so large
as to place them above temptation, anG
O strict account of their stewardship
should be demanded.-Rev. A. p. Doyle

One Of the most picturesque places IN
the world Is undoubtedly the Egyptian
city of Cairo, and not the least of Its
attractions are the varied and often
musical street cries which assaiI the
ears on all sides. Not only the street
musicians who tap their tambourines
to the admiring "Allahs" of the crowd,
but the merchants and peddlers, con.
tribute to the chorus.
A fruit seller, basket on head, with
grapes and figs, will saunter by singing
in quaint minor: ooh, grapes, oh,
sweet grapes, that are larger than
doves eggs and sWeeter than new
cream! Oh, angels food, delicious figs,
bursting with honey, restOrers OF
health"
Another street cry which may be
heard in the main street Of Abbassieh,
q suburb, contains the following entic.
ing announcement: Tomorrow, o peo.
pie, l am going TO kill a camel. The

The coolest" Church Building.

The notice in the last MISSIONARY of
the claims OF Windham and Bennington
to the oldest church buildings, HI former
having been built in 1902 and the latter
in 1905, has calld out remonstrants
from two other places. The first is from
Windsor. The writer says: The Old
South Church in Windsor was erected
i'll 1898, at cost of about $4,000
Spooner's Vermont Journal of Oct. Is,
1899, states that the legislature met
in the new meeting house The refer
ence is also to be found in Governor and
Council Vol. ", p. pit, note I. The
centennial of this building was observed
i'll 1898 by an appropriate sermon by
the pastor, Rev. A. U. Ogilvie. A history
OF the church and meeting house was also
published in 1898 by former pastor, Rev.
E. H. Byington, D. D.. assisted by Hon.
6. S. Davis, church clerk. had observed
the claims of the Bennington church 10
various papers, but when the VERMONT
MISSIONARY went astray l thought it
time the error should be corrected"
The second claim, brought by the same
mail, reads as follows: In the last
number of the VERMONT MISSIONARY we
notice that it is claimed that Bennington
has the oldest church building that has
been in constant use 9s such in the state
Let me put in a word for Thetford. The
record reads: In 1887, after much con-
tention in regard to location, the present
house was erect d on the west side Of
the common. In 1880 it was removed
to its present location and the belfry
added, and the old square pews removed.
The society again made extensive repairs
in 1858 ."
Let me add that, with the exception
Of the times when repairs have been in
progress, we have never missed a Sab
bath morning service in the house since
it was erected in 1897 and when repairs
were being made the morning service has
without exception been h,ld in the
Academy hall. So we claim, list: A
church building that has been in con-
slant use sill &c 1887. Second, that as a
church we have not missed holding a
morning service in this village since that
date, and probably not since the first log
meeting house was erected in 1871. How
many churches can show better record?'
Among the competitors tor age, as the
building now stands, the old house in
Rockingham Centre, not far from Bel
lows Falls, must not be pass by. 1t
has not been in constant use up to date,
and now is occupied only for occasional
service in the summer months. But the
exterior has been put in thorough condi-
ton with paint and shingles, and it
stands out in its old square lines without
spire or belfry, a good specimen of early
construction. The gallery and floor al
rangement of asCs and square pews is
unchanged. The high pulpit has given
place to an enclosure tor officers for con
venience of holding town meetings, and
there are some old box stoves with an
cieut pipe, otherwise the interior is as
of old. Many years ago the town meet
ings were transferred to Bellows Falls,
but every precaution has been taken for
the preservation of the structure, and it
bids tair to stand for many day Yer

GENERAL NEWS.
French Canadian Leader TO be a Peer

of Great Britain.
If, as has been announced, King Ed
ward elevated Canada's prime minister,
Will1id Laurier, to the peerage, it will be
the first instance where a French-C Cana.
dian has been thus hOnored. Canada's
share in the distribution o like honors is
now limited to Lord Mount-Stephen and
Lord Strathcona and Mount-Royal,
both Scotch Canadians.
Wilir.d Laurier, upon whom baronlal
honors a'e to fall, is just 60 years Of age.
He was born in St. Lin, Que, and is a
graduate of Assumption College and
McGill University. BY profession he is a
barrister, but since he first was elected
to parliament in 1871 he has devoted
himself to politics.
He was minister of the inland revenue
department in the Mackenzie cabinet in
1877, and in 1891 was cnosen % lead
tie liberal party. His splendid general
ship has amply justified the faith re.
posed in HIM, ard the victory Of his
party at the polls has given him the
highest elective office in Canada, made
him a member OF the kings prlyy council
and won for him the grand cross OF St..
Michael and St. George.
THIS is the more remarkable in view OF
his French descent. But Sir W1lrld is a
born leader of men. His magnetic per
sonality makes even his political OPP
ponents personal friends, and his Won
derul command OF language has carried
many hard-fought contest.
Sir Wiltrid's wife, Lady Zoe Laurier,
married him nearly 80 years ago when
he was a struggling young LAWYER. AL
though he has reached such high posi-
ton, Sir Wilfrid is rot by any means a
wealthy man Neither he nor Lord
Mount Stephen has children, and the
St1athcona heir is daughter.

it was the capital OF Bengal. In 1900 it
had population of 100000, and was

LESSON THOUGHTS.
The soul needs food as really as the
BODY. Tesus is the bread Of life. He
nouristes every faculty of the soul, en-
largng and strengthening them all, and
makes us grow more and more into his
image.
The physical body that feels no hunger,
no need of bread, is either dead or sick
and dying. So also is that soul dead or
dying which does not crave sprltualtoo
Through poverty or misfortune God
sometimes allows our bodily hunger to
90 unsatisfed but we have his promise
of blessing to those who hunger and
thirst after Righteousness, for they shall
be filled.
SELECTIONS.
The ancient Greeks represented their
gods as living on ambrosa and nectar,
food and drink of divine favor and deli
cacy, but not to be taken by mortals,
But our Lord sends from heaven the food
of the immortals, that ali men may par
take thereof and live forever.
perpetual feast of nectared sweets
Where no crude surIeit relgns.
Whatever enlarges the soul, builds up
the character, increases faith, hope, love,
knowledge, and all the virtues, makes
the conscience more tender and true, cul-
lures the will, perlects the Judgment and
enables the soul to work out pure and
holy lie, and fits it for heaven, what
ever does these things is soul food.
The best and highest and happiest
earthly condition is that which is full of
DESIRES and aspirations, and longings,
called hunger in the Beatitudes. Now
Jesus can give satisfaction to every form
of the souls hunger.
They that Sc k the Lord shall not
want any good thing" "For he salts
f>th the longing soul, and 6Ileth the hun
CRY soul with goodness.

SUGGESTED HYMNS.
