1.-The moralists Of the east says Sir
William Jones' have in general chosen
to deliver their precepts in short SEN
tentious maxims. to illustrate them by
sprightly comparisons, or to inculcate
them in the very ancient forms of agree
able Apologies. There are, indeed, both
in Arabic and Persian. philosophical
tracts on ethics. written with sound ratio
cination and elegant perspicuity: but in
every part of the eastern world, from
Picking to Damascus the popular teach
ers of moral wisdom have immemorially
been poets: and there would be no end
of enumerating their works, which are
still extant in the FIVE principal languages
Of Asia
The Greeks and Romans also made
much use of this mode of communicating
moral and practical instruction, and, in
fact proverbial teaching is found in all
languages in all ages.

!: Episcopal gapmen to
:Dolo Quo Conferences
. Meetings Will Be in New York
in Early Fall.
2 EPISCOPAL laymen will hold tW
conferences in New York In Oct

M EPISCOPAL laymen will hold two
conferences in New York In Octo-
Der, one Of them during the Broth
erhood of ST. Andrew convention, the
other during the general convention both
of which are to be held in the early fall
One is planned that brotherhood men
may attend, the other that bishops. arch
deacons and clerical and lay deputies
may do so.
The laymen arranging the conferences
are from Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Nashville,
Minneapolis, New York and some other
cities, where trained volunteers. chiefly
lawyers and bank clerks by occupation,
give Sundays to church extension, Sun
day school experimenting and similar
work 1t is claimed that Episcopal lay
men have gone farther and accomplished
more than have any others. Within the
past three years they have made steady
advance in efficiency methods.
The plan just decided on for the New
York conferences is the preparation of
reports by committees appointed in ad-
vance. These reports will be in printed
form, and will be submitted by title only,
the copies being distributed. Discussion
will follow, chiefly in the form of answers
to questions.
Committees thus far named and at
work include those on church social week,
an improved plan for a religious conven-
ton in cities, laymen's training school,
the training of lawyers and bank clerks
in efficiency in Sunday school, social serv-
ice, Bible class and boys welfare, and
the furnishing of them to work in par
ishes of a city and its suburbs, pub
licity, the furnishing of news to daily pa
pers and the new Christian Union, which
proposes many small houses in cities
rather than few big ones, like the Y.
M. c. A., and which seeks to provide
trained volunteers for work in churches,
in neighborhood welfare societies and in
civic movements. Thousands of men in
the churches are declared to be willing
to give time. but to lack method and
leadership.

Sacred Proverbs and Songs.

OF his three thousand proverbs we have
only those contained in the thirty -one
chapters of the book of Proverbs and in
the twelve chapters of the book of Ec-
clesiastes. and of his songs only those
contained in the Canticles. Out of all
that he wrote on morality. philosophy
and natural history. only those three
works have been admitted into the sacred
canon. His natural history of trees and
plants, OF beasts. fowls and fishes Of
which mention is made, has not been pre-
served, but the divine doctrines he was
inspired to write are retained for their
Importance to the eternal interests of
mankind
Others. like Linnaeus and Button and
their followers, have made known to us
the wonders of the animal and vegetable
kingdom. Every man in his order is
the divine plan. The inspired mission of
Solomon was to teach to men the divine
and eternal verities of life and God has
seen to the preservation of these teach
ings.
