Barnum sitting in a back pew of this church, and I invite him to come forward and take a. seat in My- family pew.

The African traveller, Enitn Bey, believes that there are yeathree undiscov- ered lakes north of the Victoria Nyanza, and the missionaries !if the Universities Mission east of Lake Nyessa believe that there is still another lake between it and the sea. This inclines the "Foreign Mis. ,sionary," in view �f those already named for Victoria Albert, Beatrice and Leopold, to the generous suggestion that the whole royal family of Great Britain may yet be accommodated with a lake apiece. , - • -- SIII.01111Milr SERMONS WANTED. A !Seasonable Wordto the ClergYmeu. We are get ing near the time when the evening attendance at our churches, especially in towns and cities, becomes thin. It goes without saying that in our larger communities evening congregations in summer are necessarily smaller -than during the rest of the year. If people move away to sonee summer resort, they cannot, of course, attend their own raw of worship. We wish we could say that none are absent on summer evenings but those who are "out of town." In senile way or other it has come to be taken for granted that it is the e correct thing " not to go to church in the evening at a certain season of the year. There Le ,a good deal of snobbery. .a,bout this feeling.. The " upper ten " are at the seaside, and if those who have less money are absent people may think they are at the seaside too. The heat has not much to do .wieh it. There are not generally more then , two or three very hot Sabbaths in the year.

From our Toronto correspondent we learn: Dr. Strange, whose name has been *connected with a Mrs. Me.theson in tleie- cita, has addressed the following letter to the S'portaritan, in London, England. His vvife separated from him a year ago and went to England. When she arrived tee she found that her solicitor was not able to account for her money, and ahe was left almost penniless. SIR,—Your issue of May 6th contains a florid notice of Mrs. Strange on the boards of the Prince of Wales' Theatre, Liver- pool, in the charaeter of the fashionable adventuress in "Led Astray," which, besides being replete with inaccuracies, is calculated' to bring me peevate affairs before the public .to, such an extent that, however unwilling I may be to furnish food 'for a gossip -loving people, I feel it my duty to enter a protest. In the first place, the statement referred to has emanated directly from Mrs. Straage-; in the secong place, this is not Mrs. Sareelegeee apPearance_on_the_stage. She was an actress many -years ago,- having adopted a public life then, as she has done now, for the sheer belie of excitement and display. That the is obliged to do eo from pecuniary embarrass- ment is absolutely untrue. In ' fact, she still has amply sufficient of her so-called fortune to enable her to liae decently and respectably. I am net prepared to state what, perhaps in justice to myself and the lady whoenctinly through Mrs. Strange's agency has been BO grossly malignedeought to be told, but I will say this Much, that if the Canadien Mrs. Langtry plays the part of a designing adventuress on the stage half .as -well- as she enacted it in real life, her -success ought to be , phenomenal. My people in- Englaud never did receive her and never will, and I have not. the slightest intention of allow- ing her e to trade there upon a, name which woald never have been hers had -it note beeu for the grossest fraud perpe- trated upon. myeelfe I trust I may notagain be obliged to add anytising to'whiet to the general public can be but a, nine days' sensation. But when paid correspondents are pernaitted.to invade the eanctieies of private life, and to indulge in wholesale falsehoods in order to adver- tise an actress, it is high time that at least a little truth betold, if only for the sake of fair play. --Yours obediently, - (Signed) Feepeeicx NV.
