and on Important measures are
both interesting and instructive.
Hampden-Sidney is the oldest college
in the South, except William and Mary,
and through many struggles has maintained
its existence and work unbroken
from the ^beginning; has sent out many
graduates of large usefulness and deserves
the sympathy and benevolence
ui very patriotic Virglnlau.

Everything that anyone will wish to
know of the details of this great ocean
disaster is given in the book; camly,
quietly, intelligently, and by a careful
writer used to accurate description.
1 here is not an overdrawn picture or a
hysterical note in It. It is as thrilling
as any romance, and when one has begun
to re&d it, it will be found next to
impossible to lay the book down until
it is read through.
The Mode of Baptism is a tract by J. G.
Anderson, D. D., and published by our
Committee of Publication.
Dr. Anderson does not attempt to discuss
the subject in general but confines
himself to the meaning of the ordinance
and we think conclusively demonstrates
that "the apostles as sincere' men, could
not have practiced immersion to set
forth death, burial and resurrection."
Of numerous tracts on baptism, this is
one of the very best. Those who are interested
will find this tract to be a fair,
lucid and unanswerable treatment of
the subject. It is adapted to popular
use and should be in the home and
Sunday school as well as in the pastor's
library.
A SUMMER NIGHTS OPPORTUNITY.

D. C., Suiperintendent of the International
Reform Bureau, believing that
reformers have depended too much on
laws and meetings?laws inadequately
enforced, and meetings attended mostly
by those who need them the least?
has devised a plan, already well started,
to reach whole cities and villages
with the best reform literature, at the
very time when reform meetings are
least available, to create an intensified
reform sentiment that will not only

make laws but put behind tbem officials
in sympathy with the laws.
A "team" of four adult volunteers
from & "Men and Religion" group or
young people's society or W. C. T. U.,
or a co.i.'oiimuoii of these, uuuertakes

two and two on opposite sides of tne
same street in summer twilights when
many families are sitting on their
porches kach carries a different leaflet
and presents it at alternate houses
on nis side of the street, ringing tne
bell when no one is on tne stoop, anu
saymg in each case, in substance: "1

gets a different leanet, and your two

A preacher might well get into a team
tor tne opportunity it would give to
gee at non-church goers and extend
his usefulness if not his parish.
The character of the literature is
of hrst importance. To make the plan
a success all temperance publishers
should be asked to send samples of
what tney regard as most likely to
be welcome and effective in such a
door-to-door canvass; and from these
the "teams" that are planning to take
the city should make selections. The
old style cheap tracts are not adequate
for such a crusade. Leaflets used
snould be ou good paper and illustrated
by rfiagirains, cartoons or portraits;
and it will be an advantage if in two
colors, well subdivided, and diversified
in type.
At this season especially we should
heed the proverb, "People will go for
whiskey, but milk must be brought to
the door."
Dr. Crafts saye: "My recent lecture
tours in the triangle bounded by Bangor,
Chicago and New Orleans, have
shown everywhere the need of more
thorough moral education in school and
out of school. People usually have
'the courage of their convictions' when
'they really have convections. State
prohibition in Georgia and Tennessee
has been only half successful because
it has not behind it enough anti-alcohol
conviction to stop trainloads of whisUotr

'No license' in many counties, but also
votes no enforcement in the officials
selected. This i8 because the closing
of saloon doors is not followed by
door-to-door education to show that it
is not alone the atmosphere of the
saloon that is bad, but the alcohol.
Philadelphia and Cincinnati unhorsed

mayors segregated vice because even
the church people of those cities have

We need better laws, yet more we

PAUL: BOOK LOVER.
Paul had a few books, which were
left perhaps wrapped up in the cloak,
and Timothy was to be careful to bring
them. Then an apostle must read. 9ome
of our Belf-sufficlent brethren have
thought a minister who read books and
studies his sermons must be a very deplorable
specimen of a preacher. A man
who goes up Into the pulpit, professes
to take his text on the spot, and talk
any quantity of nonsense, is the idol of
many, if he will speak without premeditation,
or pretend to do so, and never
produce what they call a dish of dead
man's brain?ah! that is the preacher.
How rebuked are they by the apostle!
He is inspired, and yet he wants books!
He has been preaching for thirty years,
and yet he wants books! He has seen
the Lord, and yet he wants books! He
has had a wider experience than most
men, and yet he wants books! He had
been caught up into the very heaven,
and had heard things which it was unlawful
for a man to utter, anl yet he
wants books! He bad written the major
part of the New Testament, and yet he
wants books! The apostle says to Timothy,
and so he says to every preacher,
"Give thyself unto reading." The man
who never reads will never be read; he
who never quotes will never be quoted;
he who will not use the thoughts of
other men's brains, proves that he has
no brains of is own Brethren, what is
true of ministers is true of all our people?you
need to read.?Charles H.
Spurgeon.
Ask nothing of God which would be
dishonoring him to grant.
