In the last year or two it has been prophesed
that the weekly denominational papers of the
country would go down in failure. 1t has been
said by some of the secular dailies in the great
cities that the church papers were no longer Il
necessity of the people, and were becoming
thing of the past. The only truth in this state
ment is the fact that the cost of producing those
papers has increased. They use a superior grade
OF paper, much more costly than that of the
dallles, and more perfect Typography which
grows in cost. 1t has become a financial neces
slty in some cases that church papers combine.
But, looking over the New Years numbers of
many exchanges, there is distinct evidence of
prosperity. Some tell of the increase of cir
culation, and some are enlarged and improved
AS class of journals, they are adapting them
selves to the needs Of the people, and are more
and more important to the denominations which
they serve.

Methodist Churches for conference as to com
bnation in Missionary work. The Methodist
Episcopal, the Methodist Episcopal Church
South, the Methodist Protestant and the Cana

present it was proposed to restrict the combina-
tion to the Missionary forces in Japan There
are said to be about 10000 japanese converts in
the Methodist Mission Churches. The ques-
ton of settling the articles of faith was found to
be a somewhat difficult one, but it, was hoped
that on this subject harmony could be secured.

In Il small triangular courtyard in the rear

bound with iron hoops and are of Belgian or

Living without landscape must be sad lot.
To spend ones days without the vision of the
fields and hills, the broad waters and the arch
ing sky, is great destitution. Yet there
who choose to live in the city and have
no vision Out of back window, down mar
alley, between brick walls, and at the end
a paved yard too small for the rubbish and
waste. And that is all; no green thing, no
tree nor vine, nor spreading field nor lofty hills.
1t is like choosing to live in prison cell.
About noon the sun looks down into the city
canyon, along the high brick walls and into the
window. For short and radiant hour of light,
it fills the room with its glory. What welcome
visitor! IL is like bright and cheerful guest
who drives the gloom and sadness all away and
fills the home with gladness and love. We would
like the sun to stay longer with us, but he will
not. We are thankful for his daily coming, and
in the darkness wait for his return
If one will look up through the long dark
valley, far up and over the dismal roofs and
chimney-tops, one may find a little square of
blue. 1t is far away in the heavens, but it is
full of light and beauty Only heecy clouds
in fragments drift across its face. We could
wish that all had patches of heavenly blue on
which to look. We could wish that every lonely
prisoner in his cell, every sick and suffering one
in darkened chamber, every one shut in from
landscape of many kinds, might have vision of
things unseen and eternal

Shore Winds.

Follow Ms into the rains
To where the sands lie white
And the marshes are choked with the
surge
And the shores and the inlets merge
As the day is dissovled in the night.
Strange are the songs we sing youl
Songs of the pain of old;
And the sound of mournful runes
Creeps over the empty dunes
Till the blood runs pale with cold.

Never and never againl

With fear and with fear unblent,
And the soul shall swoon with pain.

the Doctor we then
went 10 another doctor,
but he could not help
him, and in our despair
we went 10 a third one.
Matters became so bad
that he had regular
holes in his cheeks,
large enough to put a
finger into. The food
had to be given with a
spoon, for his mouth
was covered with crusts
as thick as a finger, and
whenever he opened the
mouth they began TO
bleed and suppurate, as
did also his eyes.
Hands, arms, chest, and
back, in short the whole
body, was covered over
and over. We had no
rest by day or night.
