THE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH

THE ANNUAL CHURCH MEETING.
Thirty met at the parsonage,Wednes
day, evening of last week, to make
some plans for future church work.
Committees were appointed for nomi-
mating church officers and for arrang-
ing the pleasantest annual meeting
that the church has yet held. This
last committee consists of the pastor,
Allison P. Smith and Mrs W. M. Rey-
nolds. The annual meeting is to be
held in the prayer meeting room, on
Friday evening, January l, 1904, at
O'Clock. A supper will be served, the
reports will be brief and right to the
point, and some music will be intro
duced. Let all our people now plan
to come.
PREPARATIONS FOR CHRISTMAS.
The Christmas carols from the leaf
let, "The Light of Prophecy" are now
being rehearsed in the Sunday school
and are found to be very pretty.
All who can come, are asked to meet
in the lower room of the church on
Wednesday and Thursday evenings of
next week, December 16 and II, at 100
o'clock to tie the Christmas greens.
The only rehearsal of Christmas
recitations at the church, and there
fore an important one, will be held on
Saturday afternoon, December 10, at
o'clock.
The Sunday school Christmas festl-
val comes in the church on Christmas
eve, December "A, at 7.3O o'clock.
''The Old Woman Who Lived in a
Shoe" "Little Boy Blue, "''Little Miss
Muffet," and even his pompous majes-
ty, "Peter, Peter, Pumpkin EATER"
have sent word that they always liked
the entertainments of the Congrega-
tional Sunday school, and they would
be on hand this year sure. 1t is found
that there are over 80 boys and girls
in the Sunday school who have been
good enough through the year to re-
ceive presents at Christmas, and prob
ably Saint Nick's sleigh will have to
be brought right into the church. as
90 presents would make too big an
armful even for the best of saints.
At the three prayer meetings pre-
ceding Christmas Rev Mr. Barker will
take up the life of John the Baptist
"the herald Of the King" The meet
1ngs begin at 100, and the pastor hopes
to make them of real interest to the
people.

AriatOcracy of the sun.

There is an aristOcracy Of the sun.
NJ. 1.ugeon. professor in the Tniver-
sity Of Lausanne, has been making an
Investigation in the great valleys of
Switzerland and finds that the edge of
the daylong shadow that winds amid
the high mountains is most remarka-
BILE boundary. 1t is not only bounda-
nv between sunlit slopes and hills in
the shadow. but it is a line that divides
aristocrats in intelligence and prosper
ity from plebeians OF ignorance and
proverty.
Professor Lugeon has made special
study Of the great valleys OF the can
ton between Martigny and the Rhone
glacier and finds that where both sides
are equally steep preference IL given to
the sunny side as a place of residence,
there being three persons there to one
on the side in the shadow. This is not
remarkable, but 1t is remarkable that
the jewellers in the sunlight are far SUI
perior to those who live in the shadow
in intelligence education and genera
prosperity.
Sunlight has developed ambition and
energy, and its effect is seen in the
homes, fields. dress and conversation Of
these people of the sun, who look with
contempt on the people Of the shade
across the valley.

Partisan Opium Ffends.

OF all the vices which have grown
and fiourished apace during recent
years In France none has taken root
with such tenacity as opium eating.
Opium smokers and opium eaters are
today numbered in the large cities by
thousands, and the absinth tend is
slowly but surely giving way to the
opium maniac. The government has
become alarmed at the situation, and
It is proposed to fix on this drug an alb
solutely prohibitivc import tariff, The
two towns where this perniclous habit
is most rampant are Marseilles and
Toulon. and at the latter the state of
things is equal TO the worst corners Of
any Chinese town. There are whole
streets where opium dens are TO be
found in every house. In these vile
sinks of iniquity men, women and chll-'
dren pass hours under the influence OF
the drug.-London Express.

Russian Peasant Women.

BY a newly enacted Russian law a
peasants wife, on showing to the dis
trict judge Of instruction that she Is
habitually i'll treated by her husband
or that lie will not support her and
makes her the drudge for his own sup
port, can demand a separate passport
with which she is at liberty to leave
her oppressor and earn living else
where. Hitherto there was no posi-
BILE redress or release for the long suf
fering victim so long as 1t was obliga-
tory that the wife's name was entered
in the husbands passport and papers
of legitimation. Any one at all init
matey acquainted with village life in
Russia will readily appreciate the re-
lief this brings to tens of thousands Of
peasant women who are the g.ievously
abused domestic slaves and beasts of
burden TO their drunken and brutal
conjugal proprietors. --Anglo-Russian.

In China 1t is nothing out of the way

play, the price going to the substitutes

substitution is reported from Fuchau.

when certain childless criminal there
was adjudged to death his family met
to see what should he done The super
stition of the land ran counter to a
man dying without leaving son at
least to worship him after death. The
criminal had n brother who had so
many sons that he had no fear of be-
Ing left without worshipers The fam
lily decided to put him in as substitute
for the chlldless one, so that the latter
could live on to get son. The military
mandarin concerned was bought over,
the criminal was set free and his
guiltless brothers head was cut off.
The family, the mandarin and the pub

superiors did not see it In that light

The Indians Bishop.

Bishop Whipples courage was pre-
eminently shown IN his attitude to-
ward the Indians. He was the Indi.
ans bishop from the first. His digni-
ty, his reserve, the Inor lurking be-
hind the sober mien. his trutlffulness
and stanch loyalty-they lovingly dub
bed him Straight Tongue"-put him
at once in touch with the Indian ma
ture. Add to this his sense Of Justice,
q dominant characteristic, and It was
natural that the Indian problem should
be almost the first problem faced on
his coming to Minnesota as its bishop.
Facing the problem. he fearlessly faced
the Indians enemies and their more
discouraging lukewarm friends. He
had to convert both the house OF blsh-
ops and congress He lived to see his
conception OF what was due the In
dian and Of what the Indian was ca
pablo OF in large measure successful.

he told of him; he compelled a like be-
lief in his unwilling brother bishops.

The indignation Of Mr.. Carmodv

they regarded il as hopeful sign
that two ships already had been seen

In the afternoon Sidney and Mr.. Kent
visited the park and brought back a
fresh stock of bananas. On the pre-

a short address, in which he said

Oh, the infinite influence Of u gospel
pen! Infinite in reference TO time!
Some of us have seen the Assyrian
histories written upon the slabs Of
burnt brick by pens thousands upon
thousands Of years ago. We have seen
leaves Of grass upon which the Greeks
used to engrave their laws. and the
shoulder blades of dead Sleeps skel-
eton upon which the ancient Arabs
used TO write poetry. The sides Of the
Egyptian obelisks are covered with
hieroglyphics of the ancients. The
first pen welded by man was chisel,
and the first leaf was sheet Of solid
rock. But, though such writings may
last hundreds and thousands Of years,
yet they will not last as long as the
gospel words written upon the human
heart by n gospel pen. Such words
shall last long after this earth is dead
and our souls have passed cycles OF
eternity in heaven. Infinite in refer

national museums some Of us have
seen pens worth a thousand times

are the pens that have been held in
the hands of presidents and kings

One of the most notable things in the
rapid march of mechanical science is
the increasing use of waterfalls for the
production of electric power. This is
going on in all parts of the world and
has resulted in an enormous increase
in the money value of the falls. Some
one has estimated that Niagara falls
as a producer of power, is worth ST.

tramcars. lighting cities. running fac
tories, irrigating farms and performing
innumerable other services. often at a

SAW HIM UNCUOAkED.
why the Timid Vicar Ceased to Fear
the Dignifed Bishop.


the Dignifed Bishop.
A certain English bishop who was
generally feared by his clergy because
Of his arrogant and unbending manner
was visited one day by a timd vicar
who had never held any communica-
ton with his lordship save by letter.
He had heard stories enough, how
ever, to make him exceedingly anxious
concerning the interview, and on reach
ing the palace he paused in the shrub
berry to get up little courage.
While he was standing there. hidden
as he believed. he saw the bishop come
to the door, book in hand, and look up
and down the garden. The vicar
promptly broke out in cold perspira-
ton, thinking his skulking had been
detected. Not SO. After a long look
about the bishop called:
tom"
There was a faint and not very re-
spectful cooey from somewhere up in a
tree, but no other response.
Come. Tom. come. my boy coaxed
the bishop. 1T is time for your Latin
grammar. Let me hear it,
SO the unbending bishop taught
Tom Latin and had as much disci-
pline as the head of a dame school |,
The vicar stepped out from behind the
bush and looked after the bishop, who,
having gone forward, was now stand
ing under the tree that sheltered re-
bellious Tom.
Now, Tom. come down." said the
bishop. Here is a shilling if you'll
come down"
mo no. came the reply. IF come
down. must have half crown"
"A shilling is all you'll get, Tom"
"A shilling as soon as l set foot on
the ground?'
YES, Tom
"All right. I'll come" graciously.

The vicar saw the bishop lean for
ward hands on knees: then stocky
young rebel landed on his shoulders.
and the vicar crept behind the bush
again. When the bishop and Tom had
gone into the house. the vicar stole out
of the palace garden.
An hour later he returned. The bish.
op was not less arrogant and unbend-
ing than he had been described. but the
vicar had lost all fear If il returned,
he thought he could hoarten himself n
