season and we regret it very much.
A most pleasing programme was got
up for the closing entertainment and
the house was crowded as usual. The

this society and a vote of' thanks ws s

manner, in which he presided at th, se
meetings. He has always opened the
meetings with the singing Of a hymn
And no doubt much of the success
attending the meeting was due to his
influence. 'As there was quits an

A SPLENDID ASSORTMENT
Coal as a Pastor in Civilizations.
Professor J. S. Newberry, of Columbia
college, New York, in a recent lectureon
"Coal, the Dominant Factor in Modern
History," said: "Few persons have real-
ized the magnitude and dignity of the
work coal is doing in the world, and
fewer still have thought that it is really
the sunshine of bygone ages, and that it
has once composed the tissues of various
strange plants, some of which are among
the most graceful and beautiful of veg-
etable forms. Buried in the earth or
covered with water, vegetable fiber de-
cays or oxidizes slowly, forming, in suc-
cessive stages of decomposition, peat,
lignite, coal, anthracite, graphite, the
hydro -carbon gases and petroleum. By
regulating and controlling the further
oxidation of these we are able to utilize.
the resulting force as light or heat or
motive power.
"To help you to realize the potency of
this wonderful substance, coal, let:';me
recall. do ,your' memories the measure-
ments of "the power evolved in its..com-
bustion. 'It is estimated. that with the
average engines now in use, about•1,500,-
000 foot pounds aro practically evolved
from the combustion of a pound of coal,
and are available in the performance of
any work done. , Now, this is about the
power exerted, ,in a ,day's labor of an
average man. Hence a ton of coal is
capableof yielding ail amount of force
equivalent to that' of six and two-thirds
men, or of six men and a well grown boy,
throughout the year. Or, the annual
production of coal: in this country and
Creat Britain ls.equivalent to a thousand
million men working for a year."
Spare the,: Cliiu•clr Dell. .
A lady friend'takes for atext thestate-
ment that a young lady was run over and
killed the other•day,,.nnd that the horse
received its fright from. the ringing' of
church bells. She then suggests that the
ringing be stopped, saying that it is un-
necessary in these days of costly clocks
and gold watches. Well, perhaps it is,
but when we consider that so many
` things of the past are being swept aside
in the march of progress we do feel like
clinging to few of the old traditions, and
keeping up some of the customs our an-
cestors inaugurated. Nothing of a clear,
bright Sunday morning gives ono half so
muchepleasure as the music of the bells
of a dozen churches floating out upon
the air, They tell a story of something
better,, something of the mystical future
that even a sermon cannot impart. But
to return to tho frightened horse. Any-
thing else might have produced the, same
result, for a horst that would take fright
at a churclf bell ringing would be liable
to run away on a slighter provocation.
This is the fast instance of the kind on
record.--St..Patil ;Pioneer Press.
