1T CAN BE DONE.

Can we evangelize the world ?"
asks the Christian Herald. Yes, the
world can be evangelical whenever
the Christsn nations want it done,
and want it accomplished bad enough.
There are now 600 million now claim
cd as professors of religion, in the
world. One dollar per member from
each of these 600 million will send
missionaries into every nook and
corner of this small globe on which
we live. After nearly 1000 years of
Christian effort there now remains
about 400 million who have never
heard the Gospel. Three out of five
of the total population of the globe,
are outside of any church. Somebody
has said: 1--WE are playing at miss

THE BOND ISSUE AND THE
PRIMARIES.

The people of Virginia have au-
thorized the next Legislature, if il
should see fit to do so to bond the
State to the amount of so million
dollars for road building purposes.
The State now owes, and is paying
interest on large sum-about 90
and one half million dollars. This
bond issue dates back nearly hun
dred years to the West Virginia mix.
up. The original debt was nearly 80
million. In all these years the State
has paid only about 1-2 millions of
the debt, leaving, us stated above, a
debt still due on which interest is
paid, of at least 90 1-2 million dollars.
To issue so million dollars worth of
bonds, on top of this, with State ex-
pcnses and appropriations increasing
every year, is a serious matter, and
one the tax payers should take q
lively interest. Opposition to this
bond issue is augmented by the fact,
that these who claim to know, have
stated that it is not needed to com
plete the State system of roads. Had
we not best pay the old bonded debt
which is hanging like an incubus
about the necks Of the tax payers Of
the State? lA.s

Always patient with the young;

Nor was heard to critisze;
Nor with those who did so blindly
Did she ever sympathize.
With the children. ALWAYS friendly,

In the footsteps of the Savior,
Leading them Just as she would.

Saw her work was all complete;
So lie beckoned her up higher.

But an angel in her conduct,
Seeking all she touched to bless.
And she was benodiction.
