Of course, very many of<lb />these churches are very small, as they<lb />average but 92 members. The total of<lb />members shows a gain of 82,814 over<lb />last year. These members may be di-<lb />vided into three groups: In Northern<lb />States, 972,064; Southern. whites,<lb />1,431,041: Southern, colored, 1,317,-<lb />130. It must be said that the statis-<lb />tics, especially of the colored churches,<lb />are very far from exact, very few of the<lb />colored associations having sent in their<lb />latest statistics. Of Sunday schools<lb />there are 23,320, with 1,943,456 offi-<lb />cers and teachers. The total value of<lb />church property is $81,648,246.<lb /><lb />Connected with the denomination<lb />are seven theological seminaries (one<lb />being devoted to the colored), with 67<lb />instructors, 1,006 students, and $3,774,-<lb />850 ot property. There are 36 col-<lb />leges and universities, with 807 instruc-<lb />tors, 7,432 students, and $22,732,163<lb />of property. There are 126 other in-<lb />stitutions, schools, and academies.

A clergy-<lb /><lb />man with a music-loving wife ought to<lb /><lb />know better than to go out of town to<lb />a missionary conference just on the eve<lb /><lb />of a season of grand opera at home.<lb />Yerhaps he never thought of it.<lb />Clergymen are not subject to the temp-<lb />tations which beset the rest of man-<lb />kind. Besides, he knew nothing about<lb />music. One tune was like another to<lb />him, and on the only occasion when le<lb /><lb />| went to an orchestra concert he fel)<lb /><lb />asleep in the middle of the second move-<lb />ment of the symphony and never<lb />waked up until the shrieking of the<lb />Valkyries smote his ears at the close of<lb />the programme. So the parson went<lb />away with no misgiving. To tell the<lb />truth, the parsonTs wife had no pre-<lb />monition that she would fall from<lb />~She meant to be good.<lb /><lb />It chanced that several worldly people<lb />called on Friday and Saturday. World-<lb />ly as they were, they loved music just<lb />as much as she did, and they could talk<lb />of ngthing but the opera, They were<lb />all going. They had hoarded up their<lb />money and bought their tickets, an]<lb />heaven-would open Monday night at<lb />eight sharp. The parsonTs wife began<lb />to wish that the opera company would<lb />stay away. Then she wished that it<lb />would come and that her husband was<lb />a Coctor or a lawyer or a broker, or any-<lb />thing so that she might be justified in<lb />going. Alas! whois strong to stand<lb />in the hour of temptation? She hal<lb />hardiy wished the last wish when her<lb />husband's brother, a worldly, amuse-<lb />ment-loving fellow, came in. oSay,�<lb />said he, ocome to the opera Wednesday<lb />night. JimTs away and all the church<lb />folks will be at prayer meeting, an~<lb />robody'll know the difference. Suc<lb />and I are going Monday and Tuesday,<lb />but she saps she doesnTt eare a rap for<lb />this ~A-deaT or ~I-dea,T or whatever you<lb />call it, and she said she knew you'd en-<lb />joy it.�<lb /><lb />oOh, you know I would, Fred, but<lb />would it be right?T<lb /><lb />oRight? Of course.<lb />do you good.�<lb /><lb />oBut you know James thought he<lb />would be home by Wednesday in time<lb />for prayer meeting.� |<lb /><lb />oWell, I'll fix that. Look over your<lb />apparel and come along. ll call for<lb /><lb />Come on. ItTil<lb /><lb />| you at about half-past seven.�<lb /><lb />The parsonTs wife had many qualms<lb />during the next few days. She said to<lb /><lb />| herself over and over again that there<lb />| is nothing wicked in opera, unless it is<lb /><lb />the ballet. She hoped there would be<lb />no announcement of a ballet, but there<lb />would be one nevertheless. She wanted<lb />to knqw what the shocking thing is<lb />like.<lb /><lb />She was relieved when she found her-<lb />self in the balcony of the music hall<lb />Wednesday night with aot a soul any-<lb />where about whom she knew. Present-<lb />ly two persons brushed past them anil<lb />sank into the next seats, and then she<lb />heard a familiar voice cry: oWhy,<lb />Sister Goodman! You here!�<lb /><lb />Alas! for the parsonTs wife, two of<lb />~the stenchest members of the church<lb />were there beside her. There was<lb />nothing for it but to brazen it out.<lb />They were just as culpable as she was.<lb />oYes, I'm here, f just couldnTt stay<lb />ewer,� she said.<lb />you not at church�<lb /><lb />oWell, we couldn't stay away, either,�<lb />said Brother Baldwin. He saw that<lb />the parson's wife was somewhat ill at<lb />~ease, and when the curtain descended<lb />~ion the first act he diverted himself at<lb />her expense. oDear me,� said he,<lb />owhy it looks as though most of the<lb />fathers in Israel! were here to-night.�<lb /><lb />oWhat? What do you mean?� asked<lb />~the scandalized parsonTs wife.<lb /><lb />oWhy, Way orer there I see Brother<lb />and thereTs Father Bledgett<lb />down there in a box, and"�<lb /><lb />oWhere! where?� cried the parsonTs<lb />wife clapping her opera glasses to her<lb />cyes. oYou donTt mean to say Father<lb />Blodgett would come to the opera, of<lb />ail things!�<lb /><lb />oLook out! look out! he's squinting<lb />up here and heTll see you!�<lb /><lb />The parsonTs wife involuntarily<lb />dueked. Indeed, the opera was wel!-<lb />nigh ~finished before she was assarci]<lb />that the venerable churchmen whoin<lb />Frother Baldwin had pretended t»<lb />point out were not inthe audience. An!<lb />she was glad, for she did not think that<lb />the ballet would have been good for<lb />them. When she got home whom<lb />should she find there but the parson<lb />himself, who had arrived by a late<lb />train. o~Goodness, my dear,� said he,<lb />looking at the clock. oWhat an extraor-<lb />.dinarily long meeting to-night.T �<lb /><lb />oYes,� said she, looking at her hus<lb />bandTs brother in agonizing. appeal.<lb />oIt was long.�-"Buffalo Courier.<lb /><lb />To Be Expected.<lb /><lb />The onew woman� orator<lb />coming eloquent.<lb /><lb />oShall we permit man, our former<lb />_| tyrant,� ~she demanded, oto flaunt ia<lb />our faces forever that which shall serve<lb />to remind us of our days of docile and<lb /><lb />was be-<lb /><lb />|, | servitude ?�<lb /><lb />Intense excitement and cries of<lb />oNever!� oNever!�<lb />oLet us wipe out all that savors of<lb /><lb />+ | that past life!� cried the orator, oLet<lb />tus blot out the memnesy ot it for all}<lb /><lb />time!�<lb />Cries qf<lb />oLet us. put<lb /><lb />~Hear! heari�"�<lb /><lb />in bloomers this very day!� sh<lb /><lb />: - orator, in conelysion, and the shout<lb /><lb />went up nearly, et the build-<lb /><lb />8. 6.
