the needy brother, it will be best to turn to the minutes of the annual con- ference, find out from the financial statistics the salaries paid last year, and if you then discover cases that seem to call for attention, seek furth- CT information at the hand of the pre- siding elder. AS to the nature of the contents of the boxes sent, may I sug- gest care in selecting things suitable for the use of the family in question? in our rural districts expensive cloth ing is not needed nearly so badly as material that can be made up locally to suit the individual. Care in this will often help the preacher in his work wonderfully, as he and his fami- ly must always be neatly, but appro- priately dressed. That God may abundantly bless and increase the use fitness of this department of our work is my earnest prayer.

"The salary of the chief of police of this city is ridiculously low said a gentleman who had read the inter. view in Fridays Graphic relative to this subject.
 s''It is absurd for the city to eX- pect to retain the services of first class, honest man at such a figure, 1t is this that makes grafters. Give cur police chief a salary commensu- rate with his duties and respOnsibili- t;es and thus remove all temptation to wrongdoing. Not that Chief Stew art is liable to go wrong on any prop oaition; I regard him as being as solid as Gibraltar. But for the sake of the future let us remove the position as far from temptation as possible.
 "AnyhOw, the service he is giving US is worth more money, and he ought to have it. believe nine-tenths of the people would be glad to see him get it."

Nobody questions that; it is sin to get drunk or debauch or drug the body The soul is held and hind cred by physical habits. Dyspepsia and debility are woes of weakness.

Thinking it to be interesting l give a few points from paper by Mrs. Arthur Mather read before the St. ouis district meeting on Parsonage and Supply departments.
 The parsonage department was the primary purpose for which the Wo- mans Home Mission society was founded. Like Methodism itself, it came into being not through human foresight, but by necessity revealed through series of providential cir cumstances; and like the society of which it is part, it pursues it's heav- enly mission ministering ever and anon to the pressing needs of those devoted servants whom God has call ed into His ministry, in the nara and uninviting places which abound within the borders of our great church. The work of this department is a beautiful illustration of the ap- plication of that connectiOnal prlncl- pie which binds all the interest of our common church life into one great organization. the influence of which is felt to the ends of the earth. The itinerant ministry prevents the aver age preacher from carrying more than the very smallest amount of personal affects with him from place to place. His salary is often barely sufficient to discharge his ordinary needs, and the heavy expense of removal becomes great burden. The "box of supplies sent out by the Wowan's Home Ms sion society is intended as a tempor- ary help, and springs from the ideal desire to "Fil in the Gulf Between
 the end of the preachers resources and the place where the poole whom he serves begin to recognize his value on the one hand and thus responsib1ll- ty on the other. Hence it is blessing of an unexpected nature sent to re- lieve an unexpected emergency. Our societies sometimes complain that they are unable to obtain the names of those preachers who need the boxes. You need not be surprised at this, if you will pause to think over the situation. A preacher who ac- cepts appointments of the character similar to one mentioned does lit in the fear of God and for the love of his church and the people. In his solitary station or lonely circuit. he is con- tinually cheered by the thought that the great Methodist church is behind him, and that thought absolutely for bids him to violate the sacredness knd sweetness of his consecration to Sod by revealing his needs to his ellowman. Even his presiding elder bay not be able to probe to the depth
 f his needs, for conscientious reacher seeks to relieve rather than
 Id fo the burdens of His 'beloved." therefore, you wish to discover

Often at Dalny, Manchuria, such crowds gather at the Y. M. c. A. looms that it seems as if the great building itself might be in danger from the crowding mass of good-na- tured humanity. The gendarmes offer e6 in their hours off. duty to attend and do police duty. One cavalryman told the secretary that having known the association at several points he tried repeatedly to visit the branch a. Dalny, but that during his short stay there he invariably found the meeting place ca black mountain of humanity" and such a crowd at the door that it was impossible to get ad- mittance. Mr. Gleason, a secretary. frequently speaks there to 1,200 men at night. The chief of the gendar- merle states that before the associa- tion and the temperance canteen es- tablshed by the government came it was the frequent thing for them to find that daily a hundred and fifty of ficers and men were breaking bounds and going to the places of evil resort in the city Now the number aver ages less than ten.
