Professionalism in France.

According to an article in the Revue
the number of Protestants in France
Is decreasing. They now number 7OO,-
900. The Lutherans, who numbered
more than a quarter of a million in
1870, can now boast of membership
of only $4,000 in France. The Calvin
lists are the most numerous sect left,
numbering over half million. But
they are losing ground. At the same
time the political influence of the
French Protestants is out Of all pro-
portion to their numbers. This the
writer attributes to their superior
system of education, and above all to
their great wealth. Their wealth has,
however, tended to sap their exclusive.
ness. They now pay less attention to
their religion, and the result is, says
the writer in the Revue, that Protes-
tantism in France will in the near fu"
ture be thing of the past. This is
q rather bold conclusion, and it would
be interesting to know If this alleged
decrease in the HuguenOts Is correct.

KNOWLEDGE OF EVIL NEEDED
Virtue and Progress In the Right Path
Cannot Spring From More
Innocence.

49,.
Innocence Is lovely in the child, be.
cause in harmony with it's nature; but
our path in life is not backward but
onward, and virtue can never be the
offspring Of mere innocence. II we
are to progress in the knowledge Of
good. We must also progress in the
knowledge of evil. Every experience
Of evil brings it's own temptation, and
according to the degree in which the
evil is recognized and the temptations
resisted will be the value of the char
acter into which the individual will
develop.
Innocence may be beautiful, but can
never be strong, while the whole es.
sence of virtue lies in its strength
to resist and power to endure. If the
innocence Of childhood be replaced by
the firm principles of integrity and
honor, the loss will be really great
gain. 1t is only where the knowledge
Of evil is unattended by appreciation
of it's nature, where temptations are
yielded to and not resisted, that we
are induced to grieve over the depart
ure of that innocence which was so
beautiful in earlier years.

Brewery or the Shoe Factory Which?
By James B. Dunn D. D. General Secretary National Society

Walruff's brewery in Lawrence,
Kansas, was a valuable piece of
property Prohibition made it use
less for that purpose, and the owner
sold the building and left the state.
This turned the twelve men he en-
ployed out of that into some other
industry. Some people called it "a
business calamity" to lose that brew
cry and the wages of the twelve men
it had employed. But soon the big
building was put to use again as a
shoe factory, and now, with about
the same capital, that the brewery
had, it employs one hundred sober
operatives.
Supposing the brewers twelve
men to have been all sober citizens,
let us compare the business record
of the brewery and the shoe factory,
allowing that the men have the same
wages, which we will put at an aver
age of ten dollars week.
The brewers men had their $I2o
a week, or $6,54o year to expend
in house rent or homes, food, cloth
ing, and household needs. The one
hundred shoe makers have 1000

week, or $4,000 a year to expend in
the same way. The brewery men
rented at most twelve cottages. The
factory men must have one hundred
cottages or lodgings.
Under the new system the build
ers, butchers, bakers, grocers, cloth
iers, ETC., of the town have one hun
dred customers gained in place of
the twelve they have lost. besides a
large amount of money from other
customers that formerly went for
beer. More than eight times as much
money goes, from that factory alone,
into the tills of the traders and
workers of that town as used to go
there from the brewery.
The shoes that are turned out
harm no one. They serve a useful
purpose, preserve health and give
comfort and pleasure. They are
among the necessities of civilized
life. There is not an oath, a theft
a wife-beating, fight, or crime in
thousand pairs of them.
1t was not so with the beer. That
hurt more or less, all who used it,
Every barrel had in it curses,
