ing of the ()sod of Jacob may attend
,yote and your partner in life -and each

go with you where you go, and abide
with you where you abide, that where-
-, ever God in His Providence may see
fit to cast your lot a like measure of
usefulness may be given unto you as
• has been mituifested among us. That
you may continue to be, in future, as
in the past, the honored instrument in
His hand through the power of the
Holy Spirit, in bringing many out of
the darkness into the light and recon-
oilia,tion which belong only to the
children of the mosahigh. In firm:
belief in the promislhat your reward
is in Heaven end full trust in the
Master's faithfulness in the perform.
(ince of all His promises, you can go
• forward holding fast the confidence
And the rejoicing of the hope firm unto
the end. And the peace of God keep
your hearts and minds through Cbrist
Jesus. Signed in the name of the

' Progreso of Missions.
For 3,000 years there existed but
three versions of the Bible. To -day
it may be read in 368 of the 6,000
tongues spoken. In 1804 there were
in the world only 5,000,000 Bibles, in
1880 there were in the hands of
humankind 160,000,000 copies. At
the beginning of our century the way of
life could he studied by but one-fifth
of the world's population, now it is
translated into languages that make it
accessible to nine -tenths of the in-
habitants of the world. Protestants
occupy over 500 separate fields, have
20,000 mission stations, supplied with
no less than 40,000 missionaries.
Five hundred thousand heathen child-
ren attend Christian schools. Ono
million communicants are enrolled in
congregations gathered from among
the heathen. Two million stated
hearers are nominally adherents of
the evangelical faith. Of the 1,433,-
000,000 that people the world, 135,-
000,000 are Protestant Christians.
The area of the habitable globe is
computed at 52,000,000 square miles ;
cf these 18,000,000 square rniles are
under Greek and Rornan Catholic do-
minion ; 25,000,000 square miles
under Mohammedan and Pagan
governments, and 14,000,000 square
miles under Protestant rule,
A Boy with a Watch.
Tho boy that wears a watch is an
important character. At school he is
envied, and in the street he is respect-
ed. .Leone of the boys grab him and
throw him down, for they might break
his timekeeper. He has a way of
twisting the chain when he talks, and
of looking at his watch when he hears
a train, and of saying twelve -ten, or
six -five, or eight -sixteen. The other
boys stand by and view him with
admiration. He grows ttp, and prob-
ably goes to college with a distinguish-
ed air, but in after years he pawns his
watch with a man who, as a boy, often
stood by and admired it.
Tho United States war department
has recently been collecting statistics
of the number of horses in several
countries of the globe. Russia has
21,570,000 horses; America, 9,500,-
000; the Argentine Republic, 4,000,-
000; Austria, 3,500,000 ; Germany,
3,350,000 ; France, 2,800,000 and
300,000 mules; England, 2,290,000 ;
Canada, 2,624,000 ; Spain, 680,000
horses and 2,300,000 mules ;Italy,
2,000,000 horses; Belgium, 383,000 ;
Denmark, 316,000; Austria, 801,500;
Holland, 125,000; and Portugal,
88,090 horses and 50,000 mules.
