FINANCIAL OUTLOOK BRIGHT
For lIISSIONARY- SOCIETIE


Missionary societies believe they see
better financial times just ahead, and
they base their belief on experiences
had within the past few weeks. The
Presbyterian home board, one Of the
largest in point of receipts and work
in the world. reports receipts up to
November I of S558,8O0 for seven months,
an increase of $65, 600. The women
report $4,000 against S76,S0O last year.
In these two items from two sources
only there is an even $4,000 increase,
or very nearly that sum. On the same
boards debt campaign about $4,000
has been realized to date.
The Presbyterian foreign board has
received, during the same seven months
S209 200 from the churches an increase
of $4,000 over the same period last
year. and from the women 100000.
an increase Of $4,000. Some other lines
or sources have fallen behind. but there
IS net increase for the seven months
of $21, 500, which the board regards as
significant of better times to come.
Mission board receipts are among the
first to feel ups and downs of finan-
cial conditions. The same boards
debt campaign has realized to date
$4,000.
Methodist boards, just reporting

They have developed theOlogies and

sustained priests and preachers and
teachers by the thousands. They have

avowed followers of Christ.
In the United States less than 40 per-

STANDARD TIME
A Observation-Disclosures must

A TRANSCONT1NENTA traveller
turn his watch back three times one
hour each time, in journeying from New
York to the Pacific seaboard, if he wants
to be on time for meals. If he is travelling
across Canada and starts from the eastern
provinces, he must do the same four times.
It's rather hard on ones watch the jew
elers say; but think of what it must have
been forty years ago when, instead of four
or five standards of railroad time, there were
seventy one! That was in 1873. In 1888
they had cut out some deadwood, as various
railroads had begun to consolidate. At that
enlightened period there were still remain
ing fifty three different standard times. In
railroad centers, where the competing roads
didn't like one another and refused to
unionize in depots, it was not an uncom-
mon thing to find one end of town setting
its watches so many minutes ahead or so
many minutes behind the other end of town.
The lot of the traveller was hard, because
trunkline service was not developed then
as now, and it frequently carried one into
the realms of higher mathematics to con-
meet between trains of different systems.
The confusion at length became SO bad with
the extension and ramifcation of railroads
that the officials got together and began
holding "time conventions, in an effort to
tighten the burden of the clock. After
meetings in St. Louis and New York, in 1888,
the railroads of this country and Canada
drew five lines through the continental map
along the meridians fifteen degrees apart.
beginning at sixty degrees west of Green
wich, England. The meridians were to drop
an hour each step west. Thus, when it was
noon on the sixtieth meridian, it was eleven
o'clock in the morning on the seventy-fifth
and so on.
There were drawbacks to this plan, how
ever 1t would not be possible for railroads
to use an imaginary line; so it was decided
| to make the change in the hour at the prin-
| cipal stations nearest to this imaginary line.
| Detroit, Wheeling, Pittsburgh, Parkersburg
| (Virginia), and Augusta Georgia., though
not situated on an air line, are points of
change between eastern and central time.
frequently in the West the change is made
at the end of long divisions.
1t is interesting to follow the standard
time line on a map. Ones first impression
is of amazement at the zigzag line that
Jumps hither and Won, and sometimes even
turns back on itself; though all the time
| following its general direction north and
south, on one side or the other of its own
special meridian. The map is plotted off
into distinctive colors by these zigzag lines,
and any particular division is known as
brown, red, blue, green, or yellow, according
to whether it is in Intercolonial, Eastern.
Central, Mountain. or Pacific time. The
eastern colonies of Canada have recently
adopted Eastern time, thereby cutting the
standard divisions down to four.
Mean local time, of course, does not cor
respond to standard time, except on the me
ridians themselves Thus Savannah is thirty
six minutes behind the sun; while Detroit is
thirty-two minutes ahead of it.
