No News of Missing Loomls.

Not a word has been received al
Paris regarding the whereabouts Of
Kent ]. Loomis, who disappeared
shortly before or after the arrival OF
the steamer Kaiser Wilhelm II al
Plymouth. June 20.
Although II has been a week since
the disappearance of Mr.. Loomis, The
officials still cling to the belief thai
he will turn up when the effects of his
abstraction lave worn off. Their be
lief is due to a careful deduction from
the series of circumstances related by
w. ]. Ellis, his companion on bonrt
the steamer, and by Gustav Flamm OF
San Francisco, who was fellow pas
senger. This process of deduction
leads to the acceptance of Flamm's
statement that he saw Loomis get of
at Plymouth.

Getting Stand of Clover.

Many failures to secure a catch Of
clover are wholly due to the attempt
being made on soil that contains too
much acid, sour soil, as we call it..
The remedy is, of course, lime, and
this may be applied after testing the
soil with litmus paper, as advised in
this department many times. That
there ought to be more clover grown
on farms than there is no one will
deny, and II this is admitted why no.

to make the crop. 1t is true that the
soil acidity may not be the only rea-
son for failing to make q catch Of clo-
yer, but 1t can do no harm to lime the
soil II 1t needs it and then look for
the other reasons why clover will not
grow on it.

Woman and the Clergy.

If we turn now to the condition of
woman in Christendom we shall find
that her progress has been long i'm
man, and in defense of these ideas
the Bible has been freely quoted:
The besetting sin Of human nature
is the lust Of power. Man is an egotist
1t takes culture long time to re-
fine that away. Man loves to flatter
periority. That pride Of power is un-
doubtedly at the bottom Of the fact
that he is SO reluctant to acknowledge
the equality Of the sexes.
Pericles thought "a woman's chief
glory was to be known neither for
good nor evil" Socrates thanked the
gods daily that he was "a man, not
| brute" and that he was male. not
female" Erasmus prayed that all peo-
pie might come to read the Bible,
| "even women and Turks"
Yet we are becoming civilized,
though slowly. Even now. in some
parts of this republic. women enjoy
full voting privilege with men; yet 1t
was only a century ago that France
guillotined woman for daring to as
sert woman's right to the ballot. 1t
was only twenty-five years ago that we
in America began to think woman
worth educating.
AS a student in theological sem
mary, I remember the professor say
Ing of woman's place In the church
women may sing in prayer meeting
and play on the plano or organ, and If
the meeting is not too public they may
offer up prayer" He forgot to say
that they might also contribute to the
preachers salary.
Robert Browning asserted that OF
the two it was his wife who had q
creative genius, yet to him. and not to
her, England accorded the honor Of q
burial In Westminster.
Our Bible is not responsible for this
ungenerous treatment Of women. The
cause Is back Of the Bible in the
nature of man. But there are Scripture
texts in which this egotism of the male
has intrenched itself.
| On the woman question MaZzini was
more orthodox than Paul He told the
young men of Italy: "Love and respect
women. Seek In her not merely q
comfort, but force, an inspiration,
the redoubling Of your intellectual and
moral faculties. Cancel from your
minds every idea Of superiority over
her. You have none whatever.'--Rev
Herbert s. Bigelow. in Pilgrim.
