This looks like business.
We learn from an exchange that the

gratifying to the many friends of Dr.
Brooks.

his eyes. His hosts of friends are glad

Rev. W. F. Craven filled his regular
appointment at the Methodist Church
last Sunday morning and night. His
sermons were good, especially the one
at night. His remarks in regard to
the way children should be reared were
timely, and it is to be hoped will do
good. He referred to the fact that a
large number of children in this place
are not required to attend school but
are permitted to spend much of their
time on the streets anc learn evil
habits. San ford Express.
Rev. W. L. Cuninggim has sent in

done for the paper was done to help
me and my people." We commend
this reply to every preacher in the

TheG neral Committee of the M.
E Church, which met in Pittsburg,
Pa., were compelled to cut their mis-
slonary appropriations 8 per cent. The
law of their church is that the com-
mittee can appropriate only "the exact
sum which was received in the year
which has just, closed." Bishop Mc-
Cabe says: lTo cut down at such
time as this seem like ordering a re
treat in the very presence ot victory."

Ian IJacLaren's "Objection"
The managing editor of a leading reli
gious weekly had an amusing experience
with a cablegram not long ago. Hey
been corresponding with Dr. JohnW&t.
son (: I an MacLaren") of Liwpod,
about a story that the famous Scotckn
thor was to write for them. After every
thing had, as the editor thought, been sat
hf ictorily arranged, a cablegram cam
from Liverpool suddenly arrived at tit
editor's desk.
"An irrelevant objection,
Watson."
Dumbfounded, the editor racked h
brains to recall what he had now done tt
antagonize genial Dr. Watson. For tit
life of him he couldn't recall having oi
jected to any suggestion the author W
made. About to call for a copy of b
latest letter to Liverpool, it sudden!)
dawned on him. His last letter to the hi
torian of Drumtotchy had asked what the
title of the new story would be, with tk
request that it would be cabled, if neces
sary. And by the cable the title U
come ! Later Dr. Watson altered the title
slightly to "No Relevant Objeztion." Tfaf
story ltself 18 one of smular teauI'7
