—The total number of Sunday-schools of all “evangelical” denominations in New York City is 370; number of scholars, 103,823; teachers, 10,152.
—A nephew of the late Zulu King, Cetywayo, has spent six years in Stockholm, Sweden, in theological and other studies, and now returns to his own land and people to devote himself to mission work.
—Mgr. Straneiro, the papal ab-legate, who brought the baretta to Cardinal Gibbons, is now making a tour of the United States, and is being royally received, feasted, and flattered everywhere. There are a great many Catholic votes to be caught in this country.
—It is said that “Rev. Dr. Lathrop, pastor of the Baptist Church at Stamford, Conn., has offered his resignation, and a local authority says that the pastors of the Episcopal, Roman Catholic, Congregational, Methodist, and Universalist Churches have requested him to recall it.”
—The Young Men’s Christian Association owns ninety buildings in the United States and Canada, and the net valuation of the association property is $5,040,178. There are 1,006 associations, 444 reading-rooms, 365 libraries containing in all 272,624 volumes. The annual current expenses of the 1,006 associations is over $800,000.
—The American Sunday-school Union offers its one-thousand-dollar-prize this year, for the best essay, containing between 60,000 and 100,000 words, on the subject of “The Christian Obligation of Property and Labor.” Unless the Union either obtains a better essay or makes a better selection, than it did at the time of offering this prize for an essay on the subject of the Obligation of the Christian Sabbath, it had better spend its $1,000 for something else.
—There are yet some people in the world who could profit by the experience of the editor of the Richmond Christian Advocate, who says: “It takes much heavenly-mindedness to have a manuscript returned by an editor, and receive it with a smile of sweetness. We have had that test more than once with our own productions of the pen; and while not having grown in grace with a stalwartness of piety worth bragging about, we have augmented our stock of common sense.”
—It is stated that “according to the lately-issued official report of the General of the Jesuits, this order is now 350 years old, has furnished 248 saints, 1,500 martyrs, 13 popes, 60 cardinals, 4,000 archbishops, 6,000 authors, and now numbers 2,500 missionaries.” We would amend that so as to read that the order has furnished the prison and the grave with 50,000,000 saints; the stake with 1,500 thousands of martyrs; and read emissaries for missionaries; and we are sure the report will be that much nearer the truth.
—A recent decree of the Sacred Tribunal of the Holy Roman and Universal Inquisition forbids Catholics to become members of orders affiliated to Free Masonry. The decree also inhibits the faithful from in any wise participating in or promoting the act of cremation, whether in leaving directions to that effect or in any other way. If the persons are only heretics, however, there will be no objection to their cremation, especially if they are alive. “The Sacred Tribunal of the Holy Roman and Universal Inquisition” has practiced that kind of cremation in a vast number of instances.

Man, the Masterpiece
Dr. Kellogg's new work, entitled "Man, the Masterpiece," is just out of press, and promises to have a very large and rapid sale. The work meets an evident want in supplying young men with just the information they need to enable them to make the most of themselves. It is really a vade mecum of what young men ought to know on every subject relating to their physical welfare, and ought to be placed in the hands of every young man and boy in the country. It contains a vast deal of information of interest and value to old men as well.—Good Health Magazine.
The Great Controversy.
By Editor
This volume presents the most wonderful and intensely interesting history that has ever been written of the great conflict between Christianity and the powers of darkness, as illustrated in the lives of Christian martyrs and reformers on one hand, and wicked men and persecuting powers on the other.
The closing chapters give a vivid picture of the warfare of the church, her final redemption, and vividly describe the triumph of the people of God, the destruction of Satan and all his followers, and the renewing of the earth, which ends the awful controversy between the Son of God and the powers of darkness.
Earnest Christians of all classes and creeds will find in it encouragement and instruction. The style of the author is clear, forcible, and often sublime, and, although simple enough in its statements to be understood and appreciated by a child, its eloquence calls forth the admiration of all.
SOME of our canvassers are selling from 114 to 152 books per week at $1.75 each. One agent in Montana has averaged 500 orders per month for the past two or three months.

THE NATURE AND TENDENCY
By J. H. Waggoner
OF MODERN SPIRITUALISM.
BY ELD. J. H. WAGGONER.
THIS is a thorough expose of the system of Spiritualism. The author has carefully studied the subject, and has given such copious extracts from a large library of Spiritualist publications, as to fully condemn them in their teachings and in their practices, by their own testimony.
It is also shown from the prophetic scriptures that Spiritualism is one of the most impressive signs of the times.

OUR COUNTRY,
By Uriah Smith
THE MARVEL OF NATIONS:
ITS PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE, AND WHAT THE
SCRIPTURES SAY OF IT.
By U. SMITH.
Author of "Smith's Parliamentary Rules," and Other
Popular Works.
This is a new and popular work on a subject of the deepest interest to all American citizens. It takes a brief but comprehensive view of our Government from a
HISTORICAL, POLITICAL, AND RELIGIOUS STANDPOINT.
It also shows that the United States is a subject of prophecy; that an outline of its history was written nearly two thousand years ago. It calls the attention of the reader to a
CHAIN OF PROPHECY,
Of which our Government is an important link, and shows that the location, the time of its rise, the nature of its Constitution, and its wonderful growth and subsequent influence, as well as its future attitude, were all clearly foreseen and pointed out by the Prophet of God, hundreds of years ago. The SUNDAY QUESTION, MODERN SPIRITUALISM, AND NATIONAL REFORM are prominent among the topics ably discussed in this work.
The "Marvel of Nations" is a work of 282 pages. It contains a steel plate of the author, and over forty illustrations. It is printed in clear type and elegantly bound. Price $1.00.
The publishers of THE AMERICAN SENTINEL being desirous of securing a large subscription list at once, have made arrangements with the publishers of "The Marvel of Nations" whereby they are enabled to furnish this interesting and popular book, together with their paper, one year, for only $1.25.

THE STORY OF THE BIBLE,
FROM GENESIS TO REVELATION.
Told in simple language; adapted to all ages, but more especially to the young, and will be read with pleasure as well as profit by every member of the family. Of its illustrations of Bible subjects, hundreds in number, many are of the greatest merit, and all are of interest. As a contribution toward the more general understanding of the Bible,
ITS VALUE CAN SCARCELY BE OVERESTIMATED.
It is not merely stories about the Bible, but it is the Bible story itself, told in a simple, easy style, which makes it both interesting and comprehensive, even to young children. Comprising more than 700 pages, printed on fine, calendered paper, and bound in cloth, it is a very attractive and useful book.
THE following sentiments are reported to have been used by Dr. Stebbins in a recent sermon in San Francisco:—
"God made the world in the rough and left it to man to finish. The railroad overcame the mountains, and was greater than the mountains. With all his shortcomings and weaknesses, man had vastly improved, beautified, and adorned the world. Art was superior to nature. A work of God that could not be improved was no work at all."
It has been said that Unitarianism is the half-way house to Spiritualism. Such utterances as the above lead us to conclude that it is about the stopping place of infidelity. When men get so puffed up in their own minds as to imagine that they can improve upon God's handiwork, their destruction cannot be far off. We are reminded of Nebuchadnezzar, who, imagining himself to be a god, exclaimed, "Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honor of my majesty?" And even while the words were on his tongue, God showed him that there was a greater than he. So now when man is getting to think that he has no use for God, we are admonished that soon the Lord will arise "to shake terribly the earth," and that then "the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low; and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day." Isa. 2: 17.
Boys and Girls' Aid Society.
By Editor
WE have received the Twelfth Annual Report of the Boys and Girls' Aid Society of San Francisco, Cal. It is a pamphlet of sixty-four pages. With mingled feelings of shame, indignation, and admiration, we have read it through,—shame that parents of human kind can drag their own offspring to such depths of shame and degradation; indignation at the unconscionable meanness that opposes the rescue of such unfortunates; and admiration at the chivalrous manliness and courage that resolutely invades the realm of iniquity, that boldly meets the mean opposition, and that bravely fights the battles of the unfortunate, that helps the helpless, and that rescues the perishing.
By relating what the Society has done, we can perhaps best show its purpose. In four years the Society has saved from imprisonment, and a consequent association with the worst criminals, more than two thousand children. It has secured better influences about all these, and has materially improved the surroundings of as many more. It has placed in homes, other than those of their own parents and friends, more than five hundred, and now has under direct control about three hundred and fifty, and under indirect surveillance as many more. In brief, the method of the Society is indicated in the following lines:—
"The Society rescues homeless, neglected, or abused children of California; receives juvenile offenders, who are in danger of being imprisoned; provides for such until suitable homes or employment and oversight are found for them, and continues a systematic attention to their condition and treatment. A free Employment Bureau for boys and girls is maintained; also a day and evening school; a department for industrial training of both sexes; classes in singing; reading-rooms and library."
"A child in untoward circumstances is brought to the attention of the Society. The first step is to place such child back under the care of its own people, where the care and responsibility belong. If this cannot be done to the advantage of the child, the next step is to acquire an authority over the child that will enable the Society to place it elsewhere, by seeking the personal guardianship of such child." "It is our policy to always return a child to its own home, where we feel confident that its conditions have become fairly suitable or can be made at all worthy of the name, by any influences we can bring to bear, officially, personally, or in any way, and that with our oversight the child's interests will be comparatively safe."
The Society is supported wholly by voluntary contributions, some excellent examples of which have been shown the past year,—Senator James G. Fair gave a piece of land which cost $11,500, and Mr. Charles Crocker has erected a building upon the land at a cost of $31,000; the estate of William Sharon gave $4,000; Mrs. Charles Crocker gave $1,500; Senator Fair $1,000. The Society also issues a quarterly entitled Child and State. Ex-Governor Geo. C. Perkins is President of the Society, and is supported by a Board of Trustees numbering seventeen noble men and women, and also, we rest assured, by the prayers, the best wishes, and the hearty support of all God-fearing people who know of the good work in which the Society is engaged.
In the use of plain, vigorous, Anglo-Saxon, and by the downright honesty apparent on every page, the report is a model of its kind. We wish a copy could be placed in the hands of every adult person in the State of California. Mr. Edmond T. Dooley is the Superintendent. Address, corner Baker and Grove Streets, San Francisco, Cal.

The Work in Central Europe
By Editor
WE are glad to lay before our readers such an excellent view of the work in central Europe as we are permitted to do this week, in the reports of Elder W. C. White and Elder D. T. Bourdeau. See pages 488 and 489. From these narratives some idea may be gathered of the difficulties which attend the presentation of the truth there, as compared with our own and other countries. Paul repeatedly asked the brethren to pray for him in his work, and surely our brethren in Europe especially need the prayers of all who love the truth.
Beecher’s Dangerous Infidelity
SAYS Beecher: "It is of no use to say that a man must be a fool who does not believe in a God." Yet this man occupies the pulpit of what passes among the uninformed as a Christian church. True, he has virtually abjured Christianity, and, fortunately, has lost most of his influence among professed Christian people in this country; still among unbelievers his words pass as those of a theologian, and thus they are strengthened in their unbelief. Beecher is perhaps no worse an infidel than is Ingersoll, but he is more than twice as dangerous an enemy to Christianity.
Destruction of the Pennsylvania Meeting Tent
By Editor
WE are informed by the secretary of the Pennsylvania Tract and Missionary Society, that Thursday night, July 22, the meeting tent, 30x40 feet, and nearly new, that was pitched at Shunk, Sullivan Co., in that State, was set fire to and completely destroyed. The tent belonged to the Pennsylvania Conference, and meetings were being held in it by Elders J. W. Raymond and D. A. Ball. That the enemy is so angry, shows that the truth is working strongly there, and we believe that the wrath of man will be made to praise the Lord in that place. Pray for the brethren in the field, "that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified;" and that they "may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; for all men have not faith. But the Lord is faithful." 2 Thess. 3:1-3.
Grand Army Encampment in San Francisco
THE twentieth annual encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic was held in San Francisco during the past week, and a larger or more enthusiastic gathering was never seen on this Coast. Thousands have had the privilege of visiting this State for the first time, and the citizens have seemed to vie with each other to see who could do the most to make their stay here a pleasant one. The universal testimony is that this encampment eclipses by far any previous one, and the veterans are highly pleased with their royal reception. They say that California fully sustains her enviable reputation for liberality and hospitality. General Lucius W. Fairchild, of Wisconsin, was elected Commander-in-Chief, and Samuel W. Backus, of California, Senior Vice-Commander-in-Chief, for the coming year. The next encampment will be held at St. Louis.
Prohibition in Rhode Island
By Editor
PROHIBITION in Rhode Island has driven the liquor dealers to the novel shift of smuggling whisky into the State in those porcelain imitation eggs commonly used as "nest-eggs." The other day, in Boston, there were cases containing 147 dozen supposed eggs, on a truck on the way to the depot to be shipped to Newport, Rhode Island. One of the cases happened to tumble off when lo, the sham "eggs" were found to be as full of whisky as the proverbial real egg is full of meat. Each egg contained about enough whisky for a common drink. A small hole had been made in the big end, the whisky poured in, the hole covered over with water-proof-cemented cloth, the egg chalked all over, and the work was done. They looked exactly like real eggs. But fortunately, or unfortunately, according as it is viewed, the whisky dealers did not insure the eggs against breakage, and in one short moment all their ingenuity came to naught. We cannot imagine what the whisky men will do now, for this scheme must certainly have been the last resort. We think after the failure of this, Prohibition will surely prove a success in Rhode Island. Prohibition forever say we.
