Religious Observance in New York

Our correspondent of to-day who
contends that the percentage of church
attendants proportionally to the popula-
tion of Manhattan, as calculated in recent
enumerations of the churchgoers, should
be reduced la-goly because so many of
them are counted twice over, makes a
point worthy of consideration.
Every such census which has been
taken in New York is open to serious ques-
tion on many accounts. Was the actual
attendance at each church counted, and
what is the evidence that the enumerators
were trustworthy? The cost of taking a
complete and accurate census would have
been very great, for hundreds of enumer-
ators of much intelligence and peculiar
adaptation would have been required,
and there is no evidence, there seems no
probability, that the Church News Asso-

This alleged conversation in Washing

reported by a correspondent Of the Ne,o

Senator PLATr was medtatlng. but the man
who was next to him thought there must be some

Do Good 1t Pays.

A Chicago man has observed that.
Good deeds are better than real
estate deeds-some of the latter are
worthless. Act kindly and gently,
show sympathy and lend helping
hand. You cannot possibly lose by
it,. Most men appreciate kind

substantial help. There are persons
in this community who might truth

Revival Meetings.

The protractcd meeting at the
Christian church started Off we'll with
full house last night Rev Russell
took for his subject ''Is the Bible
From God" and used many arguments
to show it's divine origin.
He spoke of the claims of other
religious books and showed that the
Bible did not claim so much as some
of them. He said that the teachings
and revelations of the Koran Of the
MohammedBns are claimed to have
been brought from before the throne
of God aud revealed through tine
angel Gabriel to Mohammed part by
part He showed how man would
naturally expect and need a revelation
from his Maker and that the Bible
was just the kind of revelation that
would be suited to his understanding
and needs. IF we throw away the
Bible.' said the speaker. there is no
other book to which we may go to
learn Of our nature. our relation to
God or our destiny, for beside 1t no
other book is worthy of moments

after the way of salvation.
After briefly discussing the mean
up the question of the integrity of
the sacred books. He claimed that
so faithfully had textual critics done

the ancient copies of the Scriptures
that competent scholars like DR. Hart

thousand of those in the New Testa.
ment where any substantial variation
occurs is in doubt and that none of
these effect an important doctrine.
The geuuineness of the New Testa.
ment books was also considered and
he used as arguments the proofs from
ancient copies of the Bi3la, early
translations into other languages.
catalogues of early writer's. and quota
tions from the Greek and Latin tath
ers of the age Immediately following
the apostles to show that they were
in existence and recognized in those
early times.
Internal evidences he said were just
as positive and convincing as thu ex-
ternal. The stamp of trustworthi
ness on all the writings. the local
flavor of custom and time, and above
all the religion itself that they set
forth and the character of Jesus that
they portray could not have been the
inventions of men.
