The Rev Alexander Council, of Regent Square
Church, London, has been called to the Seton
Park PRESBYTERIAN Church, Liverpool, in success
sion to the Rev. DIR. John Watson
In recent address, the Rev. Dr. Monro Gibson
claimed that the average giving of the member
ship OF the English Presbyterian Church for for
eign missions exceeded that of any other Presby-
terrain Methodist Independent, or Episcopal
Church. The givings of twelve other churches,
which he had carefully analysed, varied from IS
Cd. annually per member to SIS. sd; those of the
English Presbyterian Church amounted to SIS cd
per member. During the last twenty years the an
nual foreign mission expenditure of the Church
had advanced (by the natural growth of the work.

The Western Recorder tells of a Baptist con-
gregatlon- in the South, we presumc-whose clerk
bought a new record book because the old one
worn out. When this became known, a con-
siderable number of the members joined to resist
the transfer of the roll of membership to the new
book. They gave public notice that they would
not permit their names to be transcribed. They
must be members on these and yellow leaves
or not at all. When the clerk persisted in laying
the old volume aside the Directing faction drew
out Of the church and organized new congrega-
ton in the neghborhood. They even re-
fused the letters offered by the original congrega-
ton, declaring that they never belonged TO the

eager and Enthusiastic champion of Gods Word
He was happily at rest in the faith once delivered
to the saints. He was absolutely tenacious of the
doctrines of grace, as he had once for all and
loyalty accepted them.
And yet the surest characteristic of his life was
its gentleness. The champion of the truth he
was full of courtesy for those who honestly differ

lips in all the familiar talk of over twenty wears
that did not beft and grace the life of pure-heart-

The falling off in the number of theological
students in the universities Of Germany is a
sad and significant fact 1t augurs crisis in
the religious life and therefore in the moral
and social well-being Of the nation For years
a skeptical scholarship has been undermining
the faith of the people, and the result has been
abandonment of the churches and the pulpils
as well The existing conditions and their cause
are discussed by the Episcopal Recorder in these
words:
The decline in the number of divinity students
IS by no means confined to the English speaking
race For the past twenty years in Germany there
has been steady decrease in the number of those
who enter the divinity schools or the universities
Statistics recently published go to show that the
total number of students Of all faculties has dur
ing the past twenty years risen from 27245 to A.
800, and shows a relatively larger increase. than
the population. Law, medicine and philosophy
nave all fourshed the population has increased,
but theology has steadily declined Twenty years
ago there 26Go divinity students Ten years
ago the number had dropped to I,627, while five
years ago it had further fallen to 1912 To-day
the number is only OO3, little over third Of
what it twenty years ago. This decrease is
not peculiar to any school, but affects all the
divinity schools, from Berlin to Erlangcu and
Grefswald. To account for this is not very
difficult matter. Many may say that the falling
off is due to the openings for brilliant con
stantly occurring i'm other directions. For our
selves we believe it is entirely due to the decay OF
faith in the German universities. The teacher
rostrum may be occupied by man of brilliant
gifts and profound learning, but if he have 10
faith his class room is robbed Of both light and
heat. When skepticsm masquerades advanced
Christian thought, we not surprised It the
class rooms are empty.

INSOMNIA DEATH TO CHICKENS
Glow From Converters Makes Day of
Night and McKeesport Poultry
Will Not Sleep
Special to MIC Herald.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Jan. 21.-An epi-
demic of insomnia is killing off the
chickens of McKeesport.
This is rather an unusual disease to
afflict the feathered tribe, but it is
the truth. At least McKeesporters
vouch for the story, and McKeesport-
ers are a truthful lot. The footprints
of George Washington were left in the
sands of the Youghiogheny-and George
couldn't tell a falsehood. And McKees-
port is following his pious example.
No self-respecting chicken will stay
off the roost after the sun goes down,
nor, on the other hand, will Hnger in
his sleeping quarters after the sun
rises.
Now it happens that in the Tube city
are numerous new converters, and the
light from these when in blast is al
most as brilliant as the glow of the
sun at noon.
When the light from these burns in
the heavens it rivals the CLINT of the
northern lights. In fact the skies look
as If they were illumined by the rosy
tlnts of dawn. This is the source of all
the trouble. The roosters have opened
their weather eyes and, catching sight
of this strange light, thought it was
the break of day. Instantly they re-
sponded to the inspiration to crow for
the dawn. The hens We're awakened
ana dlSWeIlHS Calls CAME ITOIn every
chicken house in town. Then the
chickens would leap down from their
perches and wander around all night.
They were too self-respecting to adj
nit after daylight really came that
they had been out all night. Conse-
quently they suffered untold misery.
The next night they were fooled again
by the light from the mills and re-
mained up again. and on the next
morning. of course, they had no re-
course to a soothing cocktail or stimu-
lating highball. SO the next night
again the lights cleaned from the fur
naces and again the hens and roosters
remained wide awake. and the next
night-then insomnia struck them and
they died.

To END DEADLOCK
OVER NEW BOARD
CITY ATTORNEY EXPECTED TO
UPHOLD MAYOR
Council Members Will Today Hear
Decision in Regard to Their
Actions on Public ln-
proVements

During the early part of this week the
deadlock between the council and the
mayor over the new board of public
works will probably be broken. At to-
days session of the council the city
attorney will render decision on
whether or not the council has the
right to act on public improvements,
as it has been doing since the first of
the year, and as the mayors every
step in this direction has been taken
on the advice of the city attorney it is
considered foregone conclusion that
the decision will be against the city
council.
Members of the council have said
that if the city attorney renders de-
cision today adverse to the council, the
committee of the whole will go into
executive session some time early in
the week and act on the mayors ap-
pointments.
1t is considered almost certain that
every member of the committee of the
whole, with the possible exception of
Councilman Ford, will vote against the
nominees of the mayor and return the
names with the request that the chief
executive name three others. The coun-
ell has not the legal right to recon-
mend three men who will be acceptable
to il, but several of the city legislators
have been in consultation with the
mayor and it is expected that the three
men whose names the mayor will re-
turn will be acceptable to the council.
Who will ultimately compose the
board of works is a question for con-
lecture, but the rumors that Arthur {.
Harper, as the Democratic member,
will be more acceptable than Gen. John
r. Mathews is given stability by the
fact that the council has named Mr..
Harper as one of its representatives on
the Greater Los Angeles commission.
E. w. Perkins, one of the mayors
nominees, is not a machine Republi-
can and therefore the council refuses to
consider him. G. o. Winters may re-
ceive the support of some of the MEM
bers of the council, but all three will
probably be refused.

CREWE is A BEAU BRUMMEL
London Paper Discusses Sartorial
Tendencies of Members of Cab
inet-Vests and Ties
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to Ihe Herald.
LONDON, Jan. 20.-Some interesting
observations of the new members OF
the cabinet are made by the Tailor and
Cutter, which declares that Campbell
Bannerman is not an ideal figure on
which a tailor can show his skill, but
the lines of his garments are good and
the workmanship excellent in character.
Lord Crewe is the Beau Brummel OF
the ministry, it seems, as there is sell
dom a jarring note in his attire. Lord
Darlington always has well groomed
appearance, and Lloyd George always
is smartly dressed in well fitting gar
ments and harmoniously arranged
colors.
Lulu" Harcourt revels in "low roll
ing lapels elaborated with silk facings
and flat braided edges" Asquith wears
a morning coat and leach new one has
progressed with prevailing fashion
from the cutaway to a gradually
rounded 'front.' but Haldane seems to
be the sartorial genius of the ministry,
for he has taste for fancy vests and
for ties of artistic design and color.
