Weakness never needs be falseness; truth is Thunder-pealed by God to nature, whispered of it is false, and leads all who accept it by my soul to me. A Chinese mob at Kwai Penk has assaulted a missionary family, put them to flight and destroyed their property, which only proves that we live in glass houses. The mob at Kwai Penk was a better mob than the mob at Rock Springs; for they took no life. The New York City branch of the White Cross Army now numbers seven hundred, and during the year just closed they distributed 15,000 copies of a circular explaining their objects, and 10,000 pledges. The year's expenses were less than one hundred dollars. The Chicago Sunday Times lately devoted one entire page to an enumeration of the various philanthropic associations, literary When a man's loss comes to him from his gain. clubs, etc., carried on by the women of Chi All that is at all, Lasts ever past recall; Earth changes, but thy soul and God stand sure.

Vanity Fair has published a clever cartoon of Dr. Holmes, by Ward, with a good-naturedly satirical and brief biography, concluding that on the whole "as a society lion he is a great success; though a Bostonian he is not a prig; though a brilliant talker he can listen, and though seventy-seven, he is still a very young man." They are slaves who fear to speak -Lowell. Our United Presbyterian friends seem to be settling their difficulties on the instrumental music question, the majority insisting upon the position taken last year in favor of optional use of instrumental music in the churches. This year the vote was 139 to 57. The old resolution of last year, denying home mission funds to any church using the "kist o' whustles," was voted down by a two-thirds majority. A story is told of a clergyman who met a member of his congregation who was given to drink. He said: "Now, Jones, you know drink is your enemy; why not give it up?" "But, sir", said the man, "are we not told to love our enemies?" The clergyman was at first a little taken back by this form of argument, which he had never heard before. A momentary pause, however, and he was equal to the occasion. "Jones", said he, "it is one thing to love your enemies, but quite another to swallow them!" HEAVENLY VOICE.-Why hast thou been absent from My house so long? I have missed thee for more than two months. WORSHIPPER.-Lord, I assure Thee I have attended church all these weeks most punctually, and attended every part of the service. HEAVENLY VOICE.-Thy body was in the tabernacle, true, but thy spirit I saw in the bank transacting business with a number of brokers, or in a steam yacht going out on a holiday excursion, or elsewhere pursuing gold or pleasure. If thy spirit is not in the temple thou art not there.-Keshub Chunder Sen. THE STORY OF RELIGION IN ENGLAND. By BROKE HERFORD. The Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone writes in reference to this took: "I have examined it with interest, and I observe with pleasure the kindly manner in which he -the author-seeks to treat of those from whose opinions he may seriously differ." "The book is worthy of a cordial welcome, even from those whose point of view is different from that of the writer in some respects, but who share his devotion to that which is great and noble in English Nonconformity."-Literary World.

EADVILLE THEOLOGICAL SCHOOL. Unita Apply to Rev. A. A. LIVEMORE, D.D., President, Thas been for over half a century the principal Its purpose is to serve the interests of Christianity as Unitarians understand it. To this end it collects and diffuses religious information. It publishes and distributes books and tracts. At a recent Sunday-school convention in Brooklyn, N. Y., during a discussion of the subject, "What is being done for the Chinese in Brooklyn", one of the speakers said: “I spend much of my time visiting almshouses and prisons, and the Chinese are not there. Why is it that there is such a strong feeling against them? Race prejudice, and because people are sure that they will not be punished. I despise a Christianity that can see to China, and not see the Chinese next door. I despise a Sunday-school that collects the pennies to send missionaries to China, and lets the boys go home to persecute the China-Home and all People. It seeks union in spirit men".
