A Market for Small Bonds.

This is the day of the small in- vestor," .aRd as he is pretty numerous it appears to be a wise thing to do to put out commercial paper in sizes that he can financially handle.
 Already some municipalities have is. sued small bonds and in most every case. where offered to the public at large, were snapped up quickly. The odd-1ot of bond buying has stimulated an agitation for bonds of smaller de- nomination than $1.000. which has been the unit for most issues The motto of taking care of the pennies has been overlooked in this regard and as a con- sequence the general investment mar ket has lost patronage that would otherwise belong to it if small bonds were on the market. available at any time.
 In the stock markets the importance of the odd-lot buyer is being realized and many stock exchanges now make 1t point to cater to this class of cus- tomer. The question Is asked, why should not bond houses do the same From the demand for small bonds abroad it is predicted that within the near future the &l00 denomination will be freely used in this country. It would at least tend toward an increase in thrift.--Indianapolis Star. zsss <

Soma Hard Luck.

Every time read of trainload of people being relieved of their valuables by a lone bandit or two, 1t reminds me of an actual happening to an uncle of mine" remarked Butler school teacher the other day. as she looked the bold headlines that told of a rob- ber going through train. and it is what I choose to term the original hard-Iuck story
 Tt was some years ago. when my uncle was crossing the country on He was asleep in his berth. when he was suddenly awakened by the train being brought to a short stop. Soon he heard a hubbub of voices and the rough commands of the bandits to throw up their hands. threatening death if the commands were not obeyed
 He had revolver in his berth, and his first impulse, as he told afterward. was to get it ready for action. But his thoughts changed when the rough tones came to his ears. He just put the revolver away and began to get his money ready to hand over, for the robbers were approaching his berth.
 Just as he was getting his money he had about $200-he had happy thought This was to put $20 gold piece ill a sock and slip the sock in at the side of the berth. So he picked out the coin and put it away safely.
 The robbers came to his berth, de- manded his money and got it. but the crafty gent laughed to himself as he thought of the piece of money he had saved.
 Well when the robbers had searched the train thoroughly and departed, my uncle thought he would recover his $30 gold piece and display to his fellow passengers how he had fooled the bandits. So he went down after the sock at the side of the berth and pulled it forth, held it upside down and the coin rolled out. It was a auarter."-PortlAnd Express.

Is percent fewer men at commencement
this year than last who announce de-
cision to enter seminaries and study to
be Protestant ministers. Speaking OF
conditions in general, the Rev. Paul
Martin, registrar at-Princeton, says:
There has been an Improvement in
the past five years. Princeton had II
more students in 1911 than in the pre-
ceding year. But L am disappointed to
learn that there are 40 fewer students
in Pres byterian seminarieS reporting to
the general assembly just held, which
is discouraging
What may be the cause, or the causes
for this state of things is variously
guessed at. Some give theological dis
putes and loss of faith. To these
charges replies are given that the lib
eraI bodies alone Of all Protestants are
losing in numbers or growing but
SLOWLY while bodies that recite the
historic creeds, that proclaim Christ
and engage in foreign mission efforts,
are steadily increasing in numbers,
which claims seem to be well founded
Other causes are small salaries, the
competition of business and the in

~ what you in America already pos
sess in your public schools and their

The church of England. both in
London and in the provinces, is more
than holding its own. The Free
churches are doing the same wherever
they preach Christ and do work that
touches the people. I think church
membership is not keeping pace, mis-
sionary contributions are not compel
ing with social pleasures, and Sunday
morning attendance upon public wor-
ship is not what it once was. Yet I
believe that in England there is to-
day more real religion, a stronger
Christian life in men. than ever De-
fore. 1t is in part due to the changed
attitude of scientific men. The discour-
aging features named are passing

even in Italy, has been rapid during
the past 10 years, until now BAPTIST
members on the continent number $780,,
600. At the alliance convention just
held $50 Baptist leaders from Europe
were in attendance. These included
nearly 100 from Russia and the Bal

on terms for their Protestant faith.
Some may get into further trouble at
home because of their attendance at
the convention.
The alliance meeting in Philadelphia
was held at the late June date to
please European delegates. American
Baptists had many misgivings owing
to the summer season. but the con-
vention proved to be the great
est demonstration of strength that
Baptists of the world have yet
known. Six thousand Delegates
came. and so large was the pro-
portion of men that audiences during
the alliance sessions were easily five
mature men to each woman The south
was very largely represented. Almost
every country of the globe had men
present, and speeches were made IN IL
different languages.
The Rev DR.. R. S. Macarthur, of
New York, who was elected president
of the World Alliance, is probably the
foremost Baptist minister of America,
famous especially for his pulpit and
pastoral work Others are perhaps as
prominent in administrative and mis-
sionary work, but he easily leads as
preacher and orator. He succeeds the

knowledged to be the foremost Free
Church pulpiteer of England.
