The income of 15,000,000 church ir embers in the United States and Canada is estimated to be $2,- 215,090,000. They give $1 out of $409 to missions. From those facts jest related you will see the great importance of an increased missionary enthasiaem amongst God's peo- ple, and one of the late to resources bdeveloped is rev- enue of this cause y the Sunday School. I believe that in order -to have the missionary spirit brought to what it ought to be in the ohuroh, we must begin with the ohildren, the members of the S. P. And in order to aid satisfactorily in this work we must get in touch with Christ and his great work for the future We must have more intelligence in regard, to the progress of missions. We need more Christian love and unity. We must realize that there are people who want the true re- ligion and are spiritually starving for it. What we want is that all our missionary - institutions should make this work more personal. We need earnest prayer to God that he might show us the price of one soul and that it is worth more in his sight than the whole earth. He sent his only begotten son into this world as a missionary, and "Are we better than He ?" But how are we going to inculcate this Christ -like love and interest in the hearts of our 8. S. scholars. Truly this is a great and grave problem, and the question is "what shall the children give, and how shall they give it?" 'Usually on the first Sunday that the child starts to attend S. S., he is given a penny or a five -cent piece to drop on the collection plate when he is nudged by a lar- ger companion to do so. Now that child either has no interest in the givirg of that penny beyond that of pleasure aj, hearing it TILE CLINTON NEW ERA at the present time the giving of money,oDO YOU WANT CONSUMPTION a but Chalet said "Give alms of birch things Are you really looking for it?

They give of such things se they have, In order that there may be a burning spirit of missionary enthusiasm in the B.S., I think there should be a S. S. missionary meeting at least once in two months aind if possible once a month. Thies meeting should be made as attractive as possible. A good plan is to select a special eubject for the meeting—as some one mission field or eta - tion, the life of some heroic missionary. Make the subject known long enough before hand so that the membere of the school may have an opportunity to find out some- thing about it and come prepared to take Have as many as possible engage in the exercises. Have brief definite prayers, singing, reading, discussions or any other exercises in which the mission circles abound. It will be well to have missionary offerings given at this meeting, and the im- portance of earnest prayer cannot be too etrongly emphasized because without Christ we can do nothing. Moreover,the mission- aries need our prayers for their courage would often fail were it not for the con- sciousness they have, that we are praying for them. Good mape of the missionary fields are almost indispensable in connection with successful missionary work. Then, to make it still more attractive and instructive, a cabinet tilled with objecte of interest frotn miseion fields relight be plac- ed in the S.S. Of coarse all these things mean work, but God has placed into our hands all the requisites, meane, forces or aies, he as given us intellects for early, cause.AFGHAN WOMEN. tanning to aidd the 6,,..., _••_ -_ great work of His cause, ng THE PROVINCIAL, ELECTIONS.

If each of us would do our duty in this great work, the task would easily be accomplished. Think of the blessings which result from a spirit of miesionary enthusiasm in the heart of God's people. Nothing will so promote a revival in every circuit and quicken the spiritual sympathies so much as increase of missionary efforts. Let us do all we can to inspire our boys and girls to be missionaries at home, and to aid in the advancement of the missions abroad that they may grow and develop in- to useful men and women to work for the Master and win souls for Him through the 'power of hie Spirit burning in their hearts. Let us bend our knees to God, but also pat rout shoulders loo the wheel, and the en- ergies put forth by us will only infuse our S.

I have heard of one little fellow, who, on contributing his offering, thought it would go towards getting his S. 8• teacher a new dress. Nobody can give willingly and cheerfully to an unknown cause. 8. S. teachers should explain to their olaee mem- bers the needs of the work in which they are engaged, and thus stimulate them to 7 find out more about God'e work for them- selves.' This is the very first step in rais• ing missionary money. When the child has comprehended the pttlig6lse of giving to the missionary cause, and 1}albecome more desirous to know more about those little heathen boys and iris who have not the same comforts as y, then satisfy this appetite and pro. the enthusiasm already existing, by ta' • i +'gmissioa'.y iterature suitable for nee in the S. S. There ehould'be interest- ing works on missions in the S. S. library; missionary periodicals should be taken by the school. I might recommend to you the "Palm Leaf" and the "Leaflet" for young- er members of the Then there other papers for older people as "The e Mis- sionary Campaign. When the children understand the cause Which they are upholding, have them give, and give systematically. They may set aside a definite portion of what they receive • each week, for the cause of God. In this I include the ordinary collections, as well as the purely missionary moneys, because 1 believe that a person who does riot render the necessary aid to euppoit-the other de palrtmente of God's work, will not, give as liberally towards the mission cause as he should. Allow me to say here, that I think there is a great deficiency in this respect in connection with many of our S. S. at the resent time. Evary member of the S. S. xl should realize that this money is given to )God, and as each is required by Him, therefore we are e giving of it as we ar for r the purelylmissioonsible for n- ary money. There are mis- sionary moneys various w n6 thes of n S. .In some places the members of the school, on their birth days, are asked to bring in as many cents as they are years old, to deposit in the missionary box, which is opened at the ✓— -end of the year, and the contents sent to aid inthe advancement of the mission cause. I believe this plan has been tried -01st g- S. here, and bas been found to work very satisfactorily. In some 6. S.'s entertainments are held occasionally, and the proceeds given to pro- mote mission wcrk. Then the method of taking or stating a certain sum at the be- ginning of the year, and giving it weekly or monthly, is a good one. Teachers should try to increase the mis• sionary spirit in their class members, by inducing them to make little sacrifices in 'order that they may obtain and use the money, otherwise spent foolishly, for the advancement of the cense of God. Child• rat- will delight in doing this, when they fully realize that God osr iple sed and ins a the world is made happier of this is given where one little fellow, who had given away his dearly -loved Christmas gift, exolaifned, "There are two sides, the getting and the giving Bide, but I like the giving side 'best, because it is God's side." We also know that inspiration gives in- formation, and therefoe it ttis best cial that f God's we should always speak people, his missionaries, and espeoially of our own pastor.

Cook, of the Gth line, Morris, came to Cranhrook, with her son, William, to visit her sister, Mrs A. McNair, as the latter has been ill. Mrs Cook went to church and ate her meals with her usual relish. and, as far as cou:d be obsecved, was enjoying her customary health. About 11.30 p. m. Mra Cook woke up her neice, with whom she was sleeping, and complain - td >f a pain in back and very shortly after fainted.

The love of history seems inseparable from human nature because it seems in- separable from self lova. The same prin- ciple in this instance carries us for- ward and backward, to future and to past ages, and runs through mankind from Caesar down to the parish clerk in Pope's "Miscellany." We are fond of preserving, as far as it is in our power, the memory of our own adventures, of those of our own time and of those who preceded it. Rude heaps of stone have been raised, and ruder hymns have been composed, for this pur- pose by nations which had not yet the use of arts and letters. To go no farther bock, the triumphs of Odin were celebrat- ed in runic songs, and the feats of our British ancestors were recorded in those of their bards. The savages of America have tho same custom at this day, and long his- torical ballads of their buntings and their wars aro sung at all their festivals. There is no need of saying how this pas- sion grows among civilized nations in proportion to the means of gratifying it, but let us observe that the same principle of nature directs us as strongly, and more generally as well as more early, to indulge our own curiosity instead of preparing to gratify that of others. The child hearkens with delight to the talcs of his nurse. Ile learns to road, and he devours with eager- ness fabulous legends and novels. In riper genre ho applies himself to history, or to that which he takes for history, to author- ized romance, and even in age the desire of knowing what has happened to other men yields to the desire alone of relating what has happened to ourselves.
