When the Puritans came into power
he found friendly government, and
in 1649, within six months after Charles
l was executed, when Cromwell
was supreme, parliament passed ".An
act for promoting and propagating
the Gospel in New England" The act
created a corporation consisting of 16
Londoners, which thereafter carried
on the work.
But more especially it ordered "a
general collection in all the countries,
cities, towns and parishes of England
and Wales" 1t required the minis
ters to read the act to their congre-
cations and instructed them, with
others, to ''go with all convenient
speed from house to house to every
one of the inhabitants of the said par
ishes and places respectively, and to
take the subscription of every such
person in a schedule to be presented

Better education of the Indians was
also named among the purposes of the
corporation. Twenty-Five years later
there were four Indian towns with
schools in Massachusetts and "the
praying Indians there numbered
1000.
This collection ordered by parlia-
ment brought in about FL 1000, it is
reported.
Fourteen years later, in 1868, Eliot
furnished the first complete Bible
printed in the western hemisphere. Its
title page bears the lines: AT the

The place of printing was Cam

Eliot had helped compile the Bay

Stock Show Entries Set Record

Individual entries for the Inter
national Live Stock Exposition, to
be held in Chicago, December End
to 9th, have exceeded all previous
records in the history of the show.
Not only will larger classes of cat
tie, horses and sheep face the
quality of the animals will surpass
any previous exhibition on the
American continent.
Even before the entry books
were closed, it was foreseen that
the high water marks established
by preceding Internationals were
doomed to be wiped out by the
flood of applications which poured
in from all parts of the land. When
the final count was made it was
found that the anticipated increase
had materialized beyond all expec-
tations, considerably over five
thousand individual animals hav-
ing been listed. BY the time the en-
tries in the carload classes are
closed November 25th it is expect
ed that the total number of cattle,
horses, sheep and swine entered in
the various competitions will have
far exceeded the ten thousand
mark.
Thirty-three distinct breeds of
live stock will be represented in the
843 regular classes of the Exposi-
ton and over 100000 will be
distributed among the prize win
ners, besides the numerous ribbons,
cups and other trophies offered as
awards. An exhibition of domestic
