Now have come the display adver tisements of 'whole pages in the daily newspapers, and three-sheet posters on dead walls and the issuing of cleverly- worded and attractively-printed cir. culars and cards, Attention was directed a few days ago to the activities of the Rev. Dr John D. Long, the "Christian Social ist," of the Flatbush Presbyterian church, who sends his active youug men to the stations of the railroad and the crossings to distribute printed invitations inviting the stranger to the (house of SwWership. The methods he employs . would. have been considered sensational' a few years ago, but plans akin #0 them are now in use by scores of 8 thr ut the United Site he throm It. is, pesoguized everywhere that it is time to' take the church to the peo- ple, ahd where. there is rcason to be- lieve the people will not come to the church the campaign is conducted in an a ive manner until their at- tention is attracted. . In many parts of this city may be seen the posters Fadvertising the services which the Rev, Dr, Carter holds in the theatres. One of the Baptist pastors of New York who has a church in the thea- trical district advertised a few months ago that there would be cornet solos and tunes on the musical glasses in connection with his theology. He is considered an extremist in some lo- calities, yet he is doing nothing mere than adapting his methods to his en- vironment, There appeared recently in ove of the Chicago. Sunday newspapers a full page advertisement headed 'United Interdenominational Evangelistic Ser. vices." Most of the ingeniously-word- ed advertjcement was given up to a directory ol two hundred churches in the city interested in a revival move ment. In the centre of the page wag a large circle containing the words, "To Win Men to Christ."" Down at the bottom of the page was the personal invitation to the reader to attend the services, with special stress upon the music and the songs as important fea- tures, So great has become the © demand for - information on the up-to-date methods, of attracting the attention of the non-chu¥ch-going public that The Now, York Observer for the last year ax, been: sapducting a special depart: Tw tractive adyertisements and circulars are om time to time reproduced, so that ministers in all parts of the coun- interesting strangers. ; When the ministers find there has moved into their parish a large class to 'which seme special appeal may be made they send out a circular letter. One of the miost interesting was that issued: a few days ago by the Rev, Dr, Maottet, rector of the Church of the Holy Communion, who, although an Episcopalian, addressed the Greeks in their own language, as "Dear Friends,' and invited them td come to his church, where they might hear the music anu see the pictures, and by degrees learn the English language. Placing folders and cards on the counters of city hotels has been prac- tised for several years, but now comes the souvenir postal cards bearing a picture of a church and the directions for reaching it 'as well as the hours of wonship.. "The church calendar, which clysely resembles that sent ut by Bukiness houses, may be seen in many counting rooms. Desiring to reach even those who have ears, yet cannot hear, the pastor of the First Presbyterian church at Morristown, ' N.J., advertises that pews and sittings are to be had apd that a special application may made for, "connection with the acous- ticon.'" Aniong the devices used to attract attention is that adopted by a pastor in Wast Philadelphia, who issues a map of the section of the city .in which he dabors.

He was a byword for ecklessness wherever soldiers or sail- ors met. Un ope occasion, on a bet, he went up in a balloon, agreeing to descend in' a parachute. He knew lit- © or pothing about parachutes. When be was ready to come down he found that the bar | the parachute, which' was supposed Yo go under his arm, couldn't be disentangled. So he seized the bar of the parachutein his bands and dropped out of the basket. In Cuba he joused obe of our batter ies at El C . Oug men proceeded to bombard 'a Spanish blotkhotss.

At that minute the Spaniards replied with an even better shot, 'The ndent and some of the soldiers behind the gun, seeing the shell coming, dove into the bushes for cover. The shell burst with 'terrific explosion. Everybody thought that everybody else was kiiled. Out of the cloud of dust and splinters emerged the sailor man. His face was red, but only moderately excited ; his monocle was held Grmly in 'his eye: he was leaning forward, clapping his hands and shouting te. an enemy some miles distant : 'Wall played, sir.

By some, curious = chance he escaped, and was heard to remark : 'Extmor- dinary ! The same thing happened to me at Omdurman.'

To escape it by some act of legal restraint ow the community never has been possible. I'he means of self indulgence exist in too many forms for human ingenuity to combat. Out in- the prairies where the saloon has been put down by law, the craving for intoxication has found its indulgence in the juices of plants, which ferment when kept fresh in the silos, Twenty kinds oi and even necessary drugs, iccluding quinine, have been abused as substi tutes for strong drink. Law is by far {oo clumsy an agency for dealing with such a problem. Nothing that does not reach the human conscignce, and create a social opinion in favor of sobriety, can furnish a real remedy. Such a temperance movement as Fath. ¢r Matthew inaugurated in lreland, and Lyman Beecher in America, goes deeper and. farSher than any legisla. tion can.

Marden, in * Success Magazine," The human race is still in its in- fancy. Up to the present moment, with a few grand exceptions, man has lived 'mostly 'an animal existence. The brute is only partially educated out | of him, He has not yet evolved. that | superb character, that: diviner man, foreshadowed in the beast. How few people ever get anvihing more than. a mere glimpse of the true | glory of life ! Few of us see any real | sentiment in life or anything above | the real animal existence and animal | pleasures. Most of us look' upon ofr vecupation aw a disagreeable necessity | that somehow or other ought to have | been, and might have been avoided. | The - trouble with many of us is that we think too meanly of + our. selves. Our sordid aims, and mater- | ial, selfish ambitions, have so lowered | our standards, that we think down- | wards instead of upwards, . we grovel | instead of soaring. | Our lives are materialistic, selfish, greedy, because we live in the base of our brains, down among the brute | faculties.
