n has been interesting to watch the
Progress of this enterprise. Pew rail-
waysi have been built, with primitive
labor, so far from the sources of all
esupplies. The first &top was the building
tof two large storehouses 'at Matadi and
Stanteyville, 1,235 miles apare, follow-
ing, the Congo channel, to house the. ntee

ried up the Congo in pieces. aud put
together where they were needed on the
line. • As there was delay in the deliv-
ery of some of the bridges, ternpornry
wooden constructions, very rough-, but
strong, were liwown over some of the
small Corigo tribletariest tso that work
benne Might carry rails ahead to the
atoadbed prepared for them. Some ef

That continent, the natives supplied. the
brawn and, muscle, as well as some
time/nate,. supervision in carrying for-
ward the vast work of progress in
Africa.
• The extent ol. navigation available for
steamers on the Congo is now well
known, and the purpose is to carry rail-
ways around the few parts of the river
which are obstructed by rapids,so as
te extend unbroken Stearn transporta-
tion to the end of the farthest navigable
reach of the stream. By building this
new railway the Congo State has added
261 miles of steam transportation to
the 1,325 miles already in operation!' be-
tween the Congo mouth and Stanley
Falls. Navigation is again impeded at
Kindle 186 miles above the termintis -of
the new railway, t and the GOVernitent
nds to begin at once the building
:of the third and last stretch of railway
along the river from Kindu to Bull,
, about 180 miles, above .which there is
uninterrupted navigation for email
Isteitiners for ,372 miles, where the im-
portence of the river for large commer-
cial purpotes practically ends. °
• The total 'length of steam transporta-
tion along the Congo when the east mile
of ralle is laid will be 2,144 miles, of
which 1,548 miles will be by water and
596 miles by lane; and the end of this
long:route will be in touch with the
great mining region of Katanga, which
Ls said to be as leen as Rhodesia in
gold, while lite prospects of copper pro-
duetion are perhaps ,unsuipassed in any
other part ef the world. • The importance
ot extending transportation to this re-
gion is Stimulating' the efforts of, the
C.:edge Government. It remains to be
ren whether the Congo eail and water
route will reach' this, southeast corner

THE MISTAKE OF THE CHURal.
The cburch refused to have anything
tc do with such things as would not
directlyminister unto epiritual devo-
tion and feeling. There has been this
going astray of the secular frem the
sacred. *We need now to find a way
(corn the seoular to the sacred. There
must be the profounder recognition ef
tlec fact --that at the heart of 'everything`
is God. 'We must beware of ithe religt
ion that substitutes Heel' for everything
and to seek a religion which penetrates
everything. The day has passed for mere
religionists. _
• The Christian religion must resume
the original relation which it had with
science, art, commerce, 'the drama and
amusements.' .No religion is complete
without a return to every department
of life. • No department of life is com-
plete without ,a relation to religion.

29). . "For. some thought because Judas

that, the words of- Jesus as. quitted by
-Luke, "With' desire I• have desired to
