We do not propoee to solve the problem
for our friends the ministere. It is too deep
for UR. But we venture to suggest, es
brencin topic which needs clearing up, that
there is a wideepread feeling that ithe
preachers are not thorough believers in the
doctrinee they preach, and that a little
more of the ardor of oonviotton would prove
a drawing ord. Yeare ago, when higher
ednoation was not so common, the circuit
riders at a camp meeting or a pretreated
revival servioe thundered away in dead
wriest. Whether the topio was the pains
of hell or the love and pity of Christ, it was
plain that the preacher believed every word
be spoke, and the wickedeet men in the
congregation never doubtedthe preacher's
eincerity. Then most people went to
church, some perhaps only to vieit and
goseip but most of them to worship; now
many do not go to church at all, and, of
those who do go, many are spectators of,
and not partakers in, the worship. Is it a
mienomer to call us a Obrietian people?
To doubt the divine thspiration of one
word of the Old or New Testament used tie
Toa accounted sacrilege. Now doctors of
divinity tell es that we canuot look to the
Bible to teach us what Christianity is,
because "the Bible is not a book, but a
library of many books', written in different
ages, by authors whose names are in some
(setae uaknown or disputed, containing here
and there statements that oannot be
reconoiled with the laws amiePted by
selectee, or even with hietorioal fact, and
disfieured by variations, corruptions end
interpolations of the text, which taek all
the energy of modern scholership to
remove them." The Greek version of the
Old Testament differs from the Hebrew,
inserting, omitting and altering, and even
the Elebrew version contains books which
\ are rejected by Hebrew commentators. In
'
orthodox England, it is contended, since
the publication of the Revised Version, that
StePatil did not write the Epistle to the
Hebrews and that S. Jade wrote the
second Epistle of Peter. "But what, per-
haps, will impress modern readers more
than any other fact is that the Lord's
Prayer iteelt is recognized by the Revised
Version to have been corrupted by the
addition of the conolading doxology, and
that the samemersion prints as of doubtful
authority, not only the story ot the woman
taken in adultery (found in St. John's
Gospel), but even the last twelve verses of
the Gospel of Si. Mark, the spuriousness of
which, if proved, would destroy the earliest
evengelistio evidence as to the Resurrec-
tion of Christ." This quotation is not
from Bob Ingersoll, but from Rev. Dr.
Abbott.
Modern seholare bring forward very
plausible evidences to prove that Chris-
tianity is not an original religion at all, but
an adaptation of Buddhara. Is it possible
that our learned preachers believe this, and
therefore have lost some of their old
earnestness? Buddhisin is religion with-
out God, jest as Comptism is Christianity
without Christ. Travellers say that there
is a startling difference in the popular
appreciation of Buddhism and Christianity
The former is ueiversally accepted, say,
en Banneh, while the daily life
and conduct of statesmen, priests
.and people alike deny the latter
in Europe and America.; that while
Christianity is loudly prooleimed by its'
drofeseors to be the only saving faith, and
it missionaries are sent to preach its
mysterione dogmas to the uttermost parts
of the eerth, on the majority of English.
men, the most cultured and the mot de-
graded, it exeroises no influence. "The
MEWS of the working classes' ignore it alto-
gether, and the middle class, among whom
it him the firmest and deepest root, do
mot mem under its teaching to grow lees
material."
It would be unkind and unfair to charge
al that oar ministers preach what they do
' not believe, but their lessons often lack
sexplioitness. A wicked men dies, and his
wicked friends follow him to the grave. A
,preacher is on hand, and the lemon is
mad about committing the body of oar
dear departed brother to the grave in eure
and certain hope of a glorious reeurrem
(don. All the old (shams of the deceased
know thet he never earned admission to
the joys of heaven, either by his faith or
hie works. They are pleased to hear the
preacher "cheek him through," but they go
.away talking about how much money the
dead man left for his family, and not about
the destination of his soul. Theses men,
have not read either Paley's' or Dlowat's
" Evidences of Christianity ;" they never
enter a ehuroh except to help bury a
friend, and on ettoh occasions they are not
,plainly taught that a man must behave
well in this world or pay the penalty in
.the next.
We are aware that in writing thus we

Why, father, while people talk so much
of the clergy doing good te their fellows,
living for them ana to save them, the
honorable, progressive physician is aotually,
quietly doing it. If there ia a human, and
crippled sonle go there, surely, surely, there
will be a Great Physician able to heal them

It is here that aorrow, sufferiag and pain
need looking after. Maa's highest duty is
here. Do you know it is always an absurd
idea to me that people who really believe in
a personal God -and don't simply pretend
to -seem to think that the Almighty made
a miatekein locating them ? He put them
here. It seems to me that is a pretty strong
hint that right here is the places where
their energies are needed. If He had
wanted them to look after some other
world, don't you think He would have
put them nearer their poet of duty ?
But it is so muoh easier to at-
titudinize and pose for eome famoff
piece and time than it is to take up the
duties that are plain, and common, and
tedious, right here and now. In short,
father, it Beams to me that if a man is a

Many good women will dieeent from
these views. Many of them, we know, if
the choice were left to them, would gladly
see their brothers and sons in the pulpit.
But all of them would grieve to see the
friend in the pulpit have to coax people to
come and listen to him. What is lacking
to make the Goepel menage awaken popu-
lar interest ?
Lives of others oft remind as
Married life may be sublime.
We trust to be forgiven this parody of
lines from Longfellow's immortal "Psalm
of Life." Eluebands who are wiee and
thoughtful, know that the happiness of the
home depends largely on the health of the

which daily confront her. How oan a

says : Kalakaus, King of the Hawaiian
'elands, died at the Palsoe Hotel here at
2.30 o'olook this -afternoon. There has

Sunday, though his alarming condition was
not generally kaown until last evening,
when the attending physioians announced
hie malady was Bright's disease of the

this country was made on account of his
failing health. The King's rameine will
be embalmed at once. It is probable
funeral services will be held in Trinity

will leave for Honolulu on the United

intelligence of the King's death will be re-
oeived by the Hawaiian people when the
body arrives at Honolulu. Betaken&

fashion which turns a flock of handsomely
garbed women loose on filthy streets in
skirts whioh, if allowed to hang, would
sweep the pavement with at ltast an inch

obviate this Billy sweep up of the refuse of
the shopkeepers' brooms, the ladies of the
promenade may be observed in great num-
bers reeling their right forearm on their
right hip, and with the hand extending
beekward bolding up the superabundant
skirt. The continued pressure of the right
arm and the weight of the suspended skirt
naturally retard the movement of the side

The Reading of Books.
An active -minded boy or girl oan find
out a great deal about the •world we live
in by the habit of attention, by looking
around ; and he or she can get muohlinspira.
don from the example of good men and
women. But this knowledge can be added
to indefinitely by reading, and people will
read if they have a genuine desire to know
things, and are not, as we say, " too lazy
to live." When I hear a boy say that he
does not know what to read, I wonder if he
has no curiosity. Is there nothing that he
wante to know about? Most children ask
questions. It often happens that the
persons they ask cannot answer the
questions. Now, it is the purpose of books
to do jest this thing which the particular
person asked cannot do. And that is
about all there is in reading. Of course it
must be borne in mind that curiosity is of
many kinds; eurioeity about facts, about
emotions, about what happened long ago,
about what is taking place now, about the
people who lived ages ago, and the people
who live now, about others, and about
one's Bea. So it happens that one wants
to read science, and poetry, and histoty,
and biography, and romances, and the
daily news
It is quite impossible to lay down - rules
for reading that will suit all children, and
generally difficult to map out a " course "
to be inflexibly pursued by any one. But
nearly every mind is or can be interested
in something, and a very good plan is to
encourage reading concerning the subject
the child shows some curiosity about. One
thing will oertaioly load to another, for
nothing is isolated in this world. Try to
find out all you can about one thing, one
fact in history, one person, the habits of
one animal, the trath about one historical
character; pursue this!, and before you
know it you will be a scholar in many
things.
Do not forget that reading is a matins to
an end. The indulgence of it is good or
bad according to the end in view. The
mind is benefited by punning Borne
definite subject until it is understood, but
it is apt to be imptired by idly nibbling
now and then, tasting a theta:1'nd things,
and swallowing none,in short, by desultory
reading. -Charles Dudley Warner in Janu-

sequently the rector, Rev. Father
Drummond, last Sunday issued an
edict that persons entering the church
after half past 8- o'clock shall pay an
admission fee of 25 cents. In explaining
hie reason for resorting to such drastic)
meaures the rector Bead that the late
visitors disturbed the regular worshipers.
Besides the loud talking Father Drum-
mond ettid he had been informed there
was considerable flirting induleed in and
that young, men had even been discovered

panion's waists. This wile eoandelizing to
the regular worshipers and some severe,
steps were neceesary to have it stopped.
