It is stated that tbe lives of pa>wen

The demand of the Methodist laity
for equal repre— ntation tn the coun
cils of that body, which has been ga
thering force during the pasr two or
three years, seems likely to meet with
early success. Twelve conferences
which two years ago voted overwhelm
ingly against the proposition have this
year given a substantial majority in
Its favor.
The Youth’s Companion advances a
strong argument for domestic missions
when it points out that it costs the
United States Government one hun
dred and twenty dollars a year to sup
port each of its non-Christian Stoux
Indians, and only eight dollars a year i
to support a Christian Sioux Indian.!
This is not indeed the highest sort ot
argument in favor of missions, bul it
ought to appeal strongly to those who
have to be touched through thetr pur
ses.
Most churches sorely need two
things: A greater number of back
seats so that every one might sit at
tbe tolerably safe distance of fifty or
sixty feet from the officiating clergy
man; and pews composed entirely of
end seats, so that the courteous peo
ple who insist on sitting at the aisle
end might not have to rise so frequent
ly to let late comers pass into the pew.
