A n.arkefi illustration of the truth >f
:i it ia: \im i- in the .slowness of the
hristian r- ligion to take po.-s-as.sion of
tii-- secular printing press. The oppor
tunity is open, and has for some time
!>cen op( n, hut the ecclesiastical courts
and the ehurehes and the ministers of
religion are lor the most part allowing
the golden opportunity to pass unim
proved. That the opportunity is open I
de. hire fioni the fact that all the secular
n.-w-papers ere glad of any religious
huts or statistics that you present them
Any animated and stirring article relat- '
1114 to religious themes they would
gladly print. They thank you for any
information in regard to churches. If a
wrong has been done to any Christian
church or Christian institution, you could
go into any newspaper of the land and
and have the real truth stated. I >edica
tion services, niinist rial ordinations, and
pastorial installations, corner-stone lay
ing of a church, anniversary of a charit
able f.o iety, will have reasonable Fpace
in any secular ournal, if it have previous
notice given. If 1 liad some great in
justice done me, there is not an editorial
or a reportorial room in the I'nited
v tates .n'o which I could not go and get
myself set right, and that is true of any
well-known ( hristian man. Already the
daily secular preps, during the course of
each week, publishes as much r- ligious
information and high moral sent laeut rs
i es the weekly r lig.ous pr ss. Why
then does ot our g -nious t hristianity

"We were much amused :.T wntel.ing a

As they chatted and attitndini/.ed a
Mohammedan lady of the better class
went tripping saucily by, lad at first
sight to all out ward seeming as the fol
lowers of the Prophet ought evertoelothe
themselves. Hut the good old Moors,

amusement and contempt at the huzzy's

I attracted their attention. That wretched
j innovator's nether extremities were po«

remarked:
"Well, I declare, did you ever pee any
