"A little word in kindness spoken.
A motion or tear:
Has often healed the heart that's broken
And made a friend sincere.
A word. look has crushed TO earth.
Full many budding flower.
Which. had a smile but owned IFS birth.
Would bless lies darkest hour
Then deem il not an idle thing
A pleasant word TO speak
The face you wear. the thought you bring
A heart may heal or break.

Lewiston, Maine, to raise FUNDS Tor the
purchase of John Browns Fort, near Har-
per's Ferry, and have il moved to the
grounds at Storer College, where it is
proposed to convert il into library
building for the school. The fort was
taken down sixteen years ago and re-
moved to the Worlds Fair at Chicago,
where it was rebuilt for exhibition pur-
poses. 1t attracted little interest there,
and was brought back to Harper's Ferry
where il was again rebuilt, the old engine
house being reproduced as nearly like
the original as it was possible TO make it,
one mile up the Shenandoah river from
Harper's Ferry.
The Lutheran Church breaches the Cos
pei in many languages. In Chicago she
breaches the Word in eleven languages.
Her growth in this country last year was
more than sixty thousand. Her numeri-
cal strength in the world is as follows
Germany, 1886, 900; Scandinavia, TO-
100000; European Russia, 100000;
Asia, $4,000; Africa, $4,000; Oceanica,
100000; South America, 622, 1000; North
America, ll,730,OO0; and in the whole
world, over seventy-one millions. She
has two thousand six hundred seventy
four missionaries in non-ChriStian lands.
She never sends missionaries to prose-
lyte Christians, therefore all moneys her
people give for missions go TO shepherd
ing her own sheep or for winning nom
Christians to the Christian faith. Her
spirit and purpose are purely evangelical,
and with her Christ is given the pre-emi-
nence in all things, that the world may be-
come Christian rather than heather.
