An INSTANCE Of CooIness.

The youngest bank president in the
world is Carl r. Schultz, president of
the Equitable National Bank of New
York says the Detroit News-Tribune.
Mr.. Schultz is only 81 years old. He
was graduated from Yale only six
years ago.
The young man was asked recently
to what quality he attributed his sue
cess, and he replied that he attributed
it to discretion or GOODNESS. Then he
was asked to give an instance of that
quality's manifestation, but he would
not give a personal one. He said, with
laugh. that he would give an in
stance of GOODNESS and discretion, but
it would be one somewhat different
from the kind he meant, and it would
pertain not to himself, but to a Scotch
man.
There was Scot" he said, "who
owned fine orchard, surrounded by a
hedge. One day, as he entered this
orchard, he saw a neighbor creeping
on hands and knees through the hedge.
intent on stealing some fruit.

claimed the Scot reproachfully, 'haur

The discreet Sawney quickly faced
the other way and answered:

THE COST OF CONVERSIONS.

DR.. Bartlett, pastor of the First
Congregational Church of Chicago,
made the statement before a mission
airy meeting in Manchester, N. H.,
the other day that in some of the
large cities of the United States it
cost the church practically $500 for
each convert. Last year." he said
added but 430 to their number on pro-
fession of faith. at a cost of 5000. 900.
In Chicago our seventy-three churches
converted S7S people: that is, we add
ed them: some one else may have
converted them. 1t took $241, 900 to
accomplish that" The doctor express
ed the opinion that the foreign mission
field was more responsive than the
home field.
We have seen it stated somewhere
that conversions in China. Japan and
some other foreign countries cost in
the neighborhood of $1,000 each. and
that 1t is rather difficult to make an
Asiatic stay converted" The Chinese.
particularly, are prone to revert to
their original religions after they leave
the missions and schools and pass out
from under the influence OF their
Christian teachers.
But why is the cost of conversions
in this country so high? DR.. Bartlett
thinks it is because the Church has
made the mistake of thinking she
must give the people clubs and read
ing room and all else that was found

A correspondent tells a story of
mischievous boy of about years and
a patient father who were passengers
on a Willow Grove train the other aft
ernoon, says the Philadelphia Times.
The youngster. kneeling on the seat
next the window, kept bobbing his
head so far out that the father was
in a state of nervous apprehension lest
the child should fall or let his hat fall.
Finally the father reached over, grab
bed the hat, quickly hid it under the
seat, and said:
Now, told you! There goes your
hail"
The boy was in tears the next sec
ond, but was soothed when the father,
eXacting a promise of greater care for
the rest Of the ride, said he would
whistle it back, and thereupon pro-
duced the hat. The tears were dried,
the hat was donned again, and the boy
remained quiet for nearly half a min
ute. Then he threw his hat deliber-
ately out Of the window, turned con-
fidently to his pater and demanded:
Pop, it's gone againl Whistle it
back for me like you did before"

PETERS UNSTABLE Throne.


Servian affairs are interesting to us
not because the country is of any con-
siderable importance in the congrega-
ton of nations, but by reason of the
melodrama the country has been play
ing ever since Black George wrested it's
freedom from Turkey in the early days
of the last century. One of the most
restless of the Balkan states, Servia
has managed to provide succession of
revolutions, instructions, scandals,
coups de etat, wholesale murders, etc,
for the rest of the civilized world to
shudder over and wonder at. And it
seems quite likely that it will not be
a great while before Servia will give
us another sensation and thrill.
At the time of the recent election of
new members of the Skupchtina, when
the radical intransigeant party failed
to carry a majority Of the seats, it was
believed that King Peter would be able
to reorganize his ministry and surround
himself with men of more saVory repu-
tation than those who went in with
him following the assassination of King
| Alexander. The radical party referred
to is that which opposed Alexander and
is believed to have successfully plotted
his murder. 1t appears now, however,
that the radicals and the liberals have
formed an alliance which gives them a
majority of the votes and places them
| in power. What this means is seen in
| the promotion of Col. Machin, ring
leader of the assassins, to command of
the largest division of the Servian
army simultaneously with this infor-
| nation came the announcement that
King Peter was living in a Belgrade
fortress" This report was later denied,
| and it was said he continued to reside
in the palace. However that may be,
| it is quite sure that the army can guard
him in his palace quite as well as if
he were in a fortress. He can be
reached when he is wanted
The elevation of the bloody Machin
| shows that the King is either of the
couspirators or subject to their domina-
ton. In either case, his position is an
uncomfortable one. Those who ire
| moved Alexander would not hesitate
to remove" Peter; and there are per-
sistent rumors coming out of Belgrade
that the dominant party is getting tired
| of the new King.

Peter Williams, a man employed by

of SO a week, having grown tired of
the monotonous labor of plucking
chickens and turkeys by hand invented

Must Get That.

The surgeons stand about the couch

Judge.
There is considerable change in

geons. 1--WE must operate on him im-

But why need we operate" asks the
youngest of the surgeons--a mere tyro,
who cherishes the delusion that nature
gets along pretty well on her own hook.
and thinks he can be happy if he only
gets to write a few prescriptions every
day. The other surgeons turn upon him
with scorn.
Why" they echo; why? Haven't
you learned yet that as long as there
is any change in man we must go
after it?"

reform cone, with the idea of demon
strating the fact that he is willing,

outside. Lunches served at prayer
meetings and evening services are a
vain effort to win people" We have
not such innovations in this part of
the country hence we are not in a
position to speak concerning them. Our
ministers as a rule preach the gospel
straight, without employing lures. and
are rewarded by a fair share OF sue
cess. What it costs per conversion
to add to the church in the South we
do not know, and we doubt If there
are many Southern ministers who care
enough about the matter of cost to
make a calculation.
1t seems TO us that If conversions in
the United States are relatively few
er and more costly than in former
years it is more the fault of the
preachers than the people. Is the
preacher of the period as much the
pastor of his flock as was the preach
er of a century ago? Is he as compe-
tent to lead, taking into considera-
ton the enlightenment and education
of the two periods, as was the preach
ed of a century ago? The layman
Of education and intelligence who rests
his hope of salvation upon the teach
ings of preacher requires that his
preacher shall be of mental calibre
greater than his own. He wants to
look up to the preacher as a wiser man,
and one in whom implicit confidence
can be placed. He wants to feel that
he must believe" because the preach
er knows" and can prove it. Are
there not many men of the cloth who
fail to command that respect and con-
fldence because of a lack Of qualifica-
tons? When our intelligent layman
sits before a pulpit and hears from
1t a mass of redundant drivel delivered
with roaring sound, he feels that
he does not care to risk that preach
er with the welfare of his immortal
soul.
There are, of course. a great number
OF able and eloquent preachers: men
who point the way so clearly that
there can be no MISLEADING it. Such
men do not lack for congregations and
conversions. If such men could reach
all Of the people it would be well. But
they cannot. Meantime there are
wearers of the cloth who repel rather
than attract: who are weak, wordy
and worldly, and the church bears the
burden of them. They make CONVEX
sions costly.
