HAYSTACK MONUMENT.
Marks Birthplace of Foreign Mission
Work In This Country.

Marks Birthplace of Foreign Mission
Work In This Country.
Many 4 visitor to Williams college is
taken TO the birthplace Of American
foreign missions, marked by unique
monument in little park near the col
lege grounds.
For once in 1he history Of the world a
prayer meeting is commemorajed by a
monument. In Mission park in Will
Jamestown stands a shaft which was
dedicated on Sunday, July %, 1867, to
the memory of five students Of Will
liams college who met at the close Of
one sultry summer day in the year
1906 to hold prayer meeting, as was
their custom. They We're overtaken by
sudden shower of rain and were COM
PEELED to seek the friendly shelter af-
forded them by neighboring hay
stack.
The group Of young evangelists who
were present at the prayer meeting on
that particular occasion consisted Of
Samuel J. Mills. James Richards, Fran
els l.. Robbins, Harvey LOOMS and
Byram Green. =
Sheltered from the rain by the hay
stack. they continued amid tie conflict
Of the elements their devotional eXer-
cises and discussed religious topics Of
deep interest to themselves. While the
storm ragged Mills communicated to his
fellows the plan Of executing a great
life work. 1t was nothing less than a
mission to some heathen land and the
ultimate evangelization Of the world.
They communicated their plan to
such Of their fellow students as they
believed would sympathize with them
and organized the Society of Brethren,
a secret society, which had for its OBJ
ject The esta blishment Of foreign mis-
sions.
The result Of the prayer meeting was
the organization in Bradford. Mass, in
1910 Of the American board Of COM
missioners for foreign missions. From
this start grew the great society Of the
American board. which has distributed
millions Of dollars Since the first
meeting Of five persons its corporate
and honorary members have increased
to over 10000.
Years after the students had formed
their great scheme Of evangelization
the spot where they held the prayer
meeting was marked by cedar stake.
This led to the purchase Of Mission
park by the alumni Of Williams col
lege and in 1867 to the erection and
dedication Of what is now known as
Haystack monument The cedar stake
monument became marble through
Harvey Rice Of Cleveland. who de-
signed and at his own expense reared
the prayer meeting site marker.
The monument stands on the iden-
teal spot where the haystack stood. 1t

Etiquette of Canniba1ism.

Even among the savages OF trencn
Africa, who eat human flesh, there are
differences" said Paul Pucci, q young
Italian traveller. "Some while ago,
when exploring in that country, I learn

various tribes. In a majority Of them
cannibalism is INDUCED only when the
bodies are those Of prisoners taken in
battle. 1t is all right to eat persons
who belong to hostile clans, but it
would be gross violation Of tradition
and the custom of the land to feast
upon the friends or even upon mem
bers Of the same tribe This delicacy
of sentiment, however, is not universal,
and in one tribe in particular, where I
noted the absence of any old persons,
I learned that it was the proper thing
to add the aged inhabitants to the To-

The African Drum.

The African drum appears in varied
and often picturesque forms. The ma
tives make drums out Of shells, tree
trunks or earthenware, covered with
the skin Of some wild animal or some
times with india rubber. Of the origi-
nal calabash drums there is probably
only one specimen In Europe. Some Of
the drums are highly ornamented
either by painting or carving. One
specimen, indeed, has puzzled travellers,
for there is depicted on it unmistaka-
bly a cross and also head Of European
type. A drum found in upper Lualaha
has unique popularity in the way of
a sympathetic cord" formed by means

Too Curious.

One well known New York woman
has discovered, like some others OF her
sex, that it does not pay to be too Curl
Gus. One Of the old family retainers is
a Scotchman named William, who does
not believe in CLOSING over the truth
for the sake Of sparing his listeners
feelings. The woman in question. al
though possessed of considerable charm
OF manner, is not beauty asd knows
it. Her husband, recently deceased,
was q remarkably handsome man, and
his wife was one Of his sincerest ad-
mirers. One day when she was looking
at her husbands picture on the mantel
in the sitting room William was fuss
ing around the CRATE, and in moment
CT impulse she asked:
William, what do you think made
such a handsome man as Colonel S.
marry such plain woman as me"
William looked from the portrait to
the speaker, meditated a second and
answered:
"Must have been heavens will,
ma'am."

The Russian Greek Church has
in its possession many bushels
of relics. It has sticks and stones
and bones and rags. Itproclaims
that it has a garment worn oy
Christ; that it has some of his
blood; that it has a picture OF
the Blessed Virgin drawn by St.
Luke; that it has the hand OF st.
Mark and the bones of the proph-
ct Daniel. Let the churches OF
Russia resound with the cry that
the hand of St. Mark is the hand
of a Jew. Tell the people that
the garment of Christ was worn
by a Jew. Tell these who crowd
the churches that on the day of
firal judgement Jesus Christ will
hnld court with twelve Jews as
associate judges. Tell the con-
s,regations that those who mur,
der Jews will be condemned to
eternal punishment. Use the
relics. The day will come when
they will be cast aside, but the
day is many generations afar.
While they are paraded let it be
in the cause of humanity.
The Russian Greek Church
has done little or no good on this
earth. 1t has not taught peace
and good wi1l:it has walkedlwith
the wicked and the cruel. It has
not done it's duty to the age in
which it is tolerated. In the
greater part of the civilized
world, ,nphilosophy. science and

We no longer believe that God
employs the merciless to execute
his commands. We no longer,
believe that the blood of infants
is demanded by a heavenly fend.
We have not yet fully learned
the lesson of true toleration, but
we are advancing. It would
be impossible today for a King
who had murdered his wife to
successfully start a new Chris.

had burned his friend at the
stake to be heard on religious
questions. It is impossible to
estimate how much this advance
will be aided if the Russian
church will display on every
cathedral. on every m e tin g
house, on every altar, the legend:
Remember that Christ was born

Deaths From Intempe1ance.

We wonder if an end can ever
he putto the peregrinations of
that pious fraud that poses SO
often as a temperance argu-
ment-the allegation that lone
hundred thousand men fill drunk
ards graves in this country
every year. # it takes the truth
to shame the devil, he will never
be shamed by this over worn
guess. About a million deaths
occur in this country yearly, of
which $4,000 are among the
male portion Of the population.
But Of these, 200, ,000,at the very
lowest calculation, are boys too
young to be drunkards. The
common estimate, therefore,
would require US to believe that
one OF every three adult men
who dies is counted sot. We
do not suppose that anybody of
ordinary observation is equal to
that imagination. Or if ''men'
in the common statement is not
meant to exclude women, it is
equally impossible to conceive
that women drunkards can be
numerous enough to fill up the
male deficit in the 100000. The
truth is that all deaths in this
country which physicians attri-
butte to alcoholism run less than
5000 in the course of a year. No
body can tell with any exactness
just how many there are, for vi
tai statistics are not closely kept
in most parts Of the nation, but
the 5000 is certainly an over
estimate. To be sure, there
should alsobecharged against the

where drinking men die from

from another point of view, the

ST. SWlTH!N AND RAIN.
The Legend of the Chapel Over the
Bishops Grave.

The Legend OF the Chapel Over the
Bishops Grave.
The superstitions referring to par
ticular days are very numerous. The
legend Of st. Swithin is an example
that will occur to every one:
St. swlthin's day, If thou dost rain,
For forty days it will remain;
St. Switnin's day, If thou be fair.
For forty. days twill rain nae mair.
St. swithin, bishop Of Winchester, &C;
cording to the author Of "The Popular
Antiquities was "a man equally not
ed for uprightness and humility. So
far did he carry the latter virtue that
on his deathbed he requested to be
buried not within the church, but out
side the churchyard on the north Of the
sacred building, where his corpse might
receive the eavesdroppings from the
roof and his grave be trodden by the
feet Of passersby. His lowly request
was complied with, and in this neglect
ed spot his remains reposed till about
100 years afterward, when fit Of
pious Indignation seized the clergy at
the fact that the body Of so holy a
member Of their order was allowed to
occupy such position, and on an ap-
pointed day they all assembled to con-
vey it with great pomp to the adjoin-
ing cathedra! Of Winchester. When
they were about to commence the cere'
mony heavy rain burst forth and con-
tinued without intermission for the
forty succeeding days. The monks in
terpreted this tempest as warning
from heaven Of the blasphemous nature
of their attempt to contravene the d.
rection Of St. Swithin, and instead Of
disturbing his remains they erected
chapel over his grave" "St. Swithin is
christening the apples" is the more po-
etical way Of describing st. Swithin's
rain.
