In the United States the percentage

mark, Germany. the Netherlands, Swe-

less the list should also include Nor

for that country; but in the other Eu-
ropean countries the percentage Of
illiteracy is higher than it is in the
United States. and usually very much
higher. In Bulgaria it is 65 per cent;
in Greece 20. in Hungary 80, in Italy
81 in Portugal 60, in Roumania 81,
in Russia 50, in Servia 20, and in Spain
SIS. There is less illiteracy in Aus

For Steadfast Peace.

God puts within our reach the pow
er of helpfulness, the ministry of pity
he is ever ready to increase his grace
in cur hearts. that as We live and act
among all the sorrows Of the world
We may learn by slow degrees skill
and mystery of consolation. ''If We
know these things, happy are We If ye
do them" There is no surer way of
steadfast peace in this world than the
active exercise of pity; no happier
temper of mind and work than the
lowly watching to see if we can lessen
any misery that is about us; nor is
there any better way of growth in
faith and love.-Francis Paget.
