that in the evil scented animals lies
the nucleus of fortune. They have a
market for the pelts of the cats at

extract an amount of oil from each

of the animals to over 81. Their farm

Fish a Coming Necessity.

A distinguished savant announces
that the day is fast approaching when
the poor who live along rivers will
literally fish for their dinners and
catch them just as they now fish for
fun. He says he has discovered how
to accustom salt water fish to fresh
water. To sea water he gradually adds
fresh water and secret preparation.
until cod, soles, mackerel, Holsters and
crabs live and propagate in perfectly
fresh water exactly as they do in the
sea.

HUNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY
Oldest English Lutheran Church in the
World Is in Philadelphia.

The oldest English Lutheran church
in the world, St. John 8 church of Phil
adelphia, has Just celebrated its = one
hundredth anniversary. =
Rev. DIR. Spaeth of the Mt. Airy, Pa,
Theological seminary, considers the
Of St. John s church in
this country the most significant
achievement in Lutheran church his
tory since the days Of the reformation.
Attempts were made continually by the
church during the life Of Luther and
land, but all were fruitless. -. -
Later, along the banks Of the Della
ware, the church made a second effort
to win English converts, in what are
now known as the sold Swedes
churches, but as it had no supply of
English pastors or teachers, the church
of England stepped in and supplied the
Swedish Lutherans with it's own teach
ers and preachers, teaching them diff
ferent faith in the English language.
Three churches Of that early movement
are still standing-Gloria- Del in this
city;, Old Swedes in Wilmington, and
Old Swedes near Norristown.
It was not until the autumn Of 1906
that the first successful attempt was
made to teach the Lutheran church to
lisp in English, and to St. John g
church comes that honor. The pioneer
in the movement was Rev. Philip
Mayer.
A singular fact in connection with
the centenarian church is that in its
hundred years it has had only three
pastors. The first was DR.. Mayer,
who served the church from 1906 to
1858. The second pastor was Rev DR..
Joseph seiss, 1858 to 1874. and the
present pastor, Rev. D. Edward E.
Sibole, who assumed the charge in
1875.

WESTMINSTER MEMS CLUB

Westminster church, in the recent
formation Of men g club, anticipated
action just taken by the general as
sembly at Des Moines, by several weeks.
The assembly commissioners have voted
to begin at once the organization Of a
Presbyterian brotherhood. e. =
Charles T. Thompson, active agent in
the formation Of the union at West
minister church, said the steps taken
here were taken entirely in advance
of the assembly action. He had been
impressed with the work Of similar
club in Chicago, and one in Philadel.
phia, and the same plan was followed
out here. 49,
The organization of a brotherhood
will not interfere with the men s club
in Minneapolis, as the aims Of the two
organizations are Identical, and one
would have been the natural outcome OF
the other, had the churchmen not al
ready taken action.

FOREIGN MISSION WORK
Presbyterian Church Of United States
Makes a. Good Showing

uAdhOS Vi OoOo EoL1O"4ASs
New York, May ga resume made
of the work Of foreign missions carried
on by the Presbyterian church in the
United States (north), shows that the
board is maintaining about 900 mis-
sionaries in sixteen different countries,
besides $500 native helpers in the
various fields. There are close to
10000 native Christians under its
supervision, representing some 100000
adherents. ta8
The board also maintains 932 schools
and colleges, ITO hospitals and dispens-
aries in which were treated last year
423,O19 patients. In addition to these
there are eight printing establishments
which are turning out in the neighbor
hood Of 125,000 pages Of printed mat
ter year.
with the exception of the Church
Missionary society of England, the
Presbyterian board has had committed
to it the largest work among Protest
ant missions in the world. The cost of
administration of this work is less than
per cent.
Regarding the financial support of
this great work it may be said that
during this year contributions from the
home churches have steadily increased,
but the success of the missionaries
abroad has been so remarkable that the
work on the field has gone beyond the
income of the board, and this in spite
of the fact that no money whatever has
been appropriated for new property or
buildings, excepting such amounts as
have been given to the board especially
designated for that purpose.

Adopt Confession.
Western Unitarian Conference.

The delegates from the First Unitar-
ian church Of Minneapolis, who have
been attending the sessions of the
Western Unitarian conference that met
in Chicago, report an enthusiastic and
interesting series of meetings. There
were separate sessions Of the church
societies, the Woman g Alliance mem
bers, delegates form the Sunday
schools, and the Young Peoples relig-
ious unions. All the sessions were
well attended, and each subject that
was introduced aroused much serious
discussion. For almost the first time
in the history of the conference the
treasurer s report showed a surplus in
the treasury An effort was made by
the twin city delegations to bring the
next session to ST. Paul, but Detroit
was finally chosen as the next place of
meeting.
