THE FREE CHURCHES. i (B, Our London Correspondent.) TBEt NATIONAL FREE CHURCH COTTNCIII. Sufficient time has elapsed aince the meet5 iugs of the National Free Church Council at Leeds last month to calmly sum up their significance and influence. An aid to this will be tie April number of the Free Church Chronicle, which is practically full of the meetings. In addition to a lengthy summary of the proceedings, a number of impressions have been collected, which, coming as they do from men of standing in the Free Church world, are decidedly interesting. The Presi- dent (Dr. Rendel Harris), who delighted everyone with his humour and wisdom, thus not up the meetings ID PRESIDENT'S IMPRESSIONS. M ft. Leeds meetings appear to me to hare been amongst the best we have ever held. The tome was often very high indeed, and there was an almost unbroken current of good feeling, unless, perhaps, when half the audience, together with the President, were kept out in the cold, waiting for the Doxology at the end of a long sermon. Odium theo- loficurn was phenomenally absent, but there was no indifference on great issues, but a quiet determination to let that abide in us which we had heard from the beginning. In tike spiritual exercises, in the care for suffer- ing humanity at home and abroad, and in the direction of necessary business, we felt that the Lord was with us of a truth. So we returned home with Hie praise in our mouths 88d hearts." THE DKLEGATS'S POINT OF VIEW. Of course, it must be difficult for men to whom great meetings are an everyday occur- rence to feel the same enthusiasm as the ordinary rank and file of delegates. One who has attended the National Council gathering for years, who has been present constantly at great meetings, has listened often to front- rank speakers, cannot quite realise what an epoch-making event it is for a country dele- gate, toiling in a lonely furrow in some parson-ridden and squire-ruled village, where nothing happens, to be able for the first time to attend the National Council, to be caught up in the current of the throbbing world of the Free Churches, to be carried to heights of inspiration and devotion by the most spiritually minded preachers among the Churches, and to return with rekindled zeal and courage after a week's communion with kindred spirits drawn together in one great United national movement. To many the National Council is the event of a lifetime. Tlheir impressions are indelible. THE MEETINGS AND THE NEW THEOLOGY." One could easily perceive that the atmos- phere of the meetings was charged with the recent theological agitations, and many an- ticipated that the air would be cleared by something as violent as the thunderstorm. There was great curiosity to hear what Mr. Campbell would say; the New Theology," though not on the programme, could not be hidden away, and there were bound to be references to it. Mr. Campbell came, was re- ceived chivalrously and I stened to attentively. With considerable courage he laid before an assembly not disposed to hear him gladly a scheme vast in conception and revolutionary in character—a scheme for the establishment of an inclusive federation for all the Churches. With the exception of a few indi- vidual interrupters, Mr. Campbell received a splendid hearing, but it is unquestionable tihat the thinly veiled references to the old theology as against the New were more te the taste of the delegates, and the fervour with which they joined in singing the grand old hymns of the Church on the Cross and tlie Atonement were meant to convey their convictions of warm adhesion to the Gospel as orthodoxly received. This, of course, may be only an individual impression, but it seemed to the writer that the Leeds meetings gave vent to the feelings and brought relief to many who had been filled with apprehen- -vionis as to the shifting groundworks of faith. OFFICIAL RECORD OF THE MEETINGS. It is certain that many of the papers and addresses which were delivered at Leeds de- serve more permanent attention than the plaudits of an excited meeting. It is well that a verbatim report is made of these items. The Free Church Year Book," which can, tains the official report of the meetings, will be published by the National Council in a week or two. In addition to the verbatim reports of the sermons, papers, etc., and an account of the year's work, a section is de- voted to Free Church information. The statistics of the various denominations are given, as well as a table comparing theee with the figures'of the Church of England. Various lists of Free Church Council secre- taries, colleges and schools, social and philan- thropic societies and organisations, etc., make the book invaluable to Free Churchmen. In spite of the new features introduced this year, the price remains at 2s. 6d. REV. THOMAS LAW AND AMERICA. For several years past the Rev. Thomas Law, the secretary of the National Free Church Council, has been urged to visit America, but lkjw not hitherto been able to spare time for .the work in England. He is now arranging a slmrt visit to the United States, and leaves Liverpool next Tuesday along with Mr. C. F. Aked, who is about to undertake the respon- sibilities of his American pastorate. Arrange- mente are being made for a reception to Mr. Law on April 22, which will be attended by the ministers of New York and Brooklyn and a number of leading laymen from New York. Mr. Law will go to Providence, R.I., Boston, Chicago, Pittsburg, and Washington. He is to have an interview with the President of the United States, and among other things he will present the thanks of the Congo Re- form Association for the good work Mr. Roose- velt has been able to accomplish in the direc- tion of Congo Reform. On his return in May Mr. Law will be accompanied by Gipsy Smith, the National Council's evangelist, who has had such a remarkable tour in the United States. SUGGESTED CONGO SUNDAY. Rev. Thomas Law, secretary of the National Council, has just sent a letter to the 900 Free Church Councils in England and Wales suggesting that on Sunday, April 14, special sermons should be preached having reference to the position on the Congo. All Free Church miniaterks are urged to join in this simulta- neous effort to bring the terrible state of affairs on the Congo before British Nonoen- formists. WELSH CONVENTION. I hear that arrangements have been made for the holding of a Convention for the deep- ing of Spiritual life at Aberystwyth during the week commencing June 10. These meetings will serve for the whole of Wales, and it is intended that sermons shall be preached and addresses delivered in both Wel>h and English. In addition to the leading ministers of the Principality, several Englkli leaders will be present Dr Rendel Harris, a, President of the National Council, will preside. No doubt many English Free Churchmen will arrange to spend their holidays at Aberystwyth during M? holding of tbsce uutttings. B. J. M.
WORDS OF WISDOM.
WORDS OF WISDOM. If you sow wild oats, you'll reap tares. Riches and care are as inseparable as sun and shadow. To flatter a good man is needless; a bad one an insult. Money talim-but the lack of it is a good grumbler. Opportunity knocks at the door; importunity oomes right in. The Tree of Knowledge always needs the sun- shine of experience. In putting your best foot forward, be sure you don't overstep yourself. Fashion is always a little ahead of those who try to keep up with it. It's about as hard to keep a good man down as to help a poor one up. Learning is to the mind what dress is to the body, useful and ornamental. Those who never retract their opinions themselves more than they love truth. Prosperity has the qualities of the water of Lethe—they who taste of it forget themselves. To win a race, the swiftness of a dart Availeth not without a timely start. -LA FONTAINS. The actions of men are like the index of a book; they point out what is most remarkable in them. A man is very unfit to live in the world who cannot keep his temper, his secrets, and his money. Ingratitude is a poison of so deleterious a nature that it even destroys the very bosom in which it harbours. It is better to have loved and lost than to have got married on a beer income when you have champagne tastes. By one keeping the heart free from stain, virtue and right and wrong are seen clearly as forms in a mirror. It is amazing that men should affect to know everything, and yet be so deficient in the very first principle of wisdom—know thyself. Experience and observation are the light- houses of reason, which direct us in our steer- age through the dangerous ocean of life. People do not work well for bare necessities: they work well for ideals, for aspirations, for oomfort-yes, for luxuries.-SIR OLIVER LODGE. It so often happens that others are measuring us by our past self, while we are looking back on that self with a mixture of disgust and sorrow. The common lot is the best thing that this life has to offer; and, luckily for us, the best of as are fit for nothing better-since there ia aothing better this side of heaven. I count myself in nothing else so happy, !Aa in a soul rememb'ring my good friends; And, as my fortune ripens with my love, It shall be still thy true love's recompense. —SHAKESPEARE. Be fearful only of thyself, and stand in awe of none more than of thine own conscience. There is in every man a severe censor of his manners; and he that reverences this judge, will seldom do anything he need repent. What passes in the world for talent, or dex- terity, or enterprise, is often only a want of moral principle. We may succeed where others fail, not from a greater share of invention, but from not being nice in the choice of expedients. —HAZLITT. Look to this day! For it is Life, the very Life of Life. In its brief course lie all the Verities and Realities of your Existenoej The Bliss of Growth, The Glory of Action, The Splendour of Beauty; For Yesterday is but a Dream, And To-morrow is only a Vision; But To-day, well lived, Makes every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness, And every To-morrow a Vision of Hope. Look well, therefore, to this Day! Sueh is the Salutation of the Dawn. -SANBKM. TB:8 WAY OF SUCCESS. We must master chance, or ebanoe will be our master." ARGUMENTS. However wise and philosophical a man may be, he never enjoys being worsted in an argu- ment. Arguments occasionally convince the reason, but they leave the temper unsatisfied- unless, as in some classes of life, the custom of kmocking your adversary down happens to be per- mitted. That is a more satisfactory solution of a problem than any amount of talk, and no doubt even the most civilised people, when de- feated in discussion, have a secret desire to retaliate by appealing to the fist. THE RULE OF THREE. Three things to wish for—health, friends, and a cheerful spirit. Three things to delight in—frankness, free- dom, and beauty. Three things to admire-power, gracefulness, and dignity. Three things to avoid—idleness, loquacity, and flip] jant jesting. Three things to govern—temper, tongue, and oonduct. Three things to hate—cruelty, arrogance, and affectation. PEOPLE AND SPACE. A population may be too crowded, though all be amply supplied with food and raiment. It is not good for man to be kept perforce at all times in the presence of his species. A world from which solitude is extirpated is a very poor ideal. Solitude, in the sense of being often alone, is essential to any depth of meditation, or of character; and solitude in the presence of natu- ral beauty and grandeur is the cradle of thoughts and aspirations which are not only good for the individual, but which society could do without. Nor is there much satisfaction in contemplating the world with nothing left to the spontaneous activity of Nature.—JOHN STUART MILL. ABOUT PROVERBS. Proverbs and homely maxims are the pithy expression of accumulated experience. If it is not wise to be guided by them entirely—for the whole truth can never be expressed in half-a- dozen words-a man tempts fate when he ignores them. They represent the sagacity of our fore- fathers, who during many generations learnt a. lot. SOWING TIME. Too many poets and painters glorified youth until it seemed that the brief years of early life were the only years worth living. None knew it as a time of hope and promise more golden than the promise of youth. Youth was the Golden Age; the passing years but brought the dreaded winter-time of life nearer, to be endured as best might be. Lingering and more longing grew the spirit's backward glance as youth passed; none went forward with cheer, as they had in youth, in the hope that the best things were before them. Such a view tended to make the more thoughtless pluck the perishing flowers of questionable pleasures by the way, altogether forgetful that youth must needs be the time of sowing. v WISE HINTS FOR WRITERS. Some unusually practical hints on book-writ- ing have been given in Notes and Queries, as the substance of conversations with the late Canon Isaac Taylor The public is surprisingly ignorant, and is grateful for explicit information on matters which are supposed to be common knowledge. Do not venture to write a book until you have got a thoroughly good subject. When you have collected a mass of notes, then dash into the subject, writing anything that occurs to you freely, and even redundantly, for it is easier to condense than to expand. After you have so written a few pages you will see at once that a good many sentences need transposing, others expanding, and others condensing. Cut out relentlessly everything that is in the ■lightest degree irrelevant to your subject. When you have nearly finished your book you will find that almost all of it has had to be writ- ten five times over, and you will realise the ex- treme difficulty of writing even a single page of decent English. Do not say "It is interesting to note or allow yourself to UM such slipshod expressions, although many distinguished writers do so. After some years of writing the right word Sill oome iaio jcaxr mind.
HINTS FOR THE HOME.
HINTS FOR THE HOME. HOW TO SLEEP WELL. When nervous or suffering from the blofla, and unable to sleep well, it would be advinahh to try the following bath, for the refreshing sleep that will follow will, says Health, well re- pay the effort: Take of sea-salt 4oz., spirits of ammonia 2oz., spirits of camphor 2oz., of pure alcohol 8oz., and sufficient hot water to make a full quart of the fluid. Dissolve the sea-salt in the hot water and let it stand until cool. Pour into the alcohol the spirits of ammonia and cam. phor. Add the salt water, shake well and bottle for use. With a soft sponge dipped in this mix- ture, wet over the surface of the whole body. Rub vigorously until the whole skin glows. Be- fore, however, going to the trouble of preparing and taking such a bath as this, it would be bet- ter to try a much simpler remedy for insomnia. For example, an avoidance of late suppers-a bis- cuit or two before retiring would be quite suffi- cient to take-anck A little walk before going to bed. SUBSTITUTE FOR A STEAM KETTLE. In bad cases of bronchitis or congestion of the lungs, when a steam-kettle is a necessary, but perhaps not available article, a good substitute may be made by wringing a rather large piece of flannel or blanket out of a basin of hot water and hanging it on a clothes'-horse in front of the fire. The steam given off will moisten the air and make the breatb;piz easier. HOW TO MA KR COFFEE. The secret of good coffee lies in having the best ingredients and in the proper making. The coffee-beans should be kept air-tight, and ground immediately before using, in order to preserve the delicate flavour, and another point to remember is that good coffee should never be boiled. The water, when it boils, should be poured steadily upon the coffee grounds, and it is of the greatest importance that the coffee -pot is kept perfectly clean. It requires more than ordinary care, for the reason that the chemical action upon the tin tends to create a substance which collects and clings to every cre- vice and seam, and, naturally, in the course of time will affect the flavour of the coffee. Very often the fact that the coffee tastes bitter or looks muddy arises from this. CANADIAN GINGER CORDIAL. One ounce tartaric acid, ioz. essence of ginger, 2 ioz. tincture of red pepper, 3 lemons, 31b. lump sugar. Slice the lemons, put them with the other ingredients into a crock, pour on six quarts of boiling water, let stand for twenty- four hours. Stir well to see that the sugar is melted. Strain, bottle, and keep in a cool place. A wineglassful of this is most refreshing after a walk, and very good for anyone who suffers from indigestion. SHOULD BABIES BE KISSED? "I never kiss a babv on the mouth; it is criminal," said a woman doctor a short while ago. There is really nothing that is so likely to be injurious to a baby as a kiss on the mouth. Very many diseases are transmitted to little ones by their parents, or others, touching their lips, eavs the World and His Wife. This seems a hard doctrine; and, if it is a true one, a mother should guard her infant as closely from kisses as she would from measles, whooping-cough, or like evils. Grown-ups do not, as a rule, have any of the diseases to which children are sus- ceptible, but such as they frequently have are chronic, and for that reason much worse if con- tracted through the breath by young babies. I always i-o mothers against allowing their little one.- f "1 be kissed on the lips, even by their parents and immediate family," says a well- known specialist in infantile complaints. A baby's mouth should not be kissed; and if this rule were followed there would be fewer sickly infants, for there would be then one less way in which disease can be transmitted to them." To this might very well be added a warning against any kind of caress on the face, head, or hands. The fact of the matter is that the best medical opinion is in favour of all possible tenderness, but no kisses or caresses. Very small children do not understand the usual demonstra- tions of affection, and are often made most un- comfortable by being squeezed close in a mother's arms, and half smothered by kisses on the lips It is very hard for grown-ups who are not very used to children to realise how hard they are pressing the little bodies in their arms until the poor little things cry out in pain. Then they frighten the little ones by suddenly kissing them all over the face in an effort to shew how sorry they are. The best thing that could happen to babies would be for their mothers and fathers and nurses to realise that they can best shew their love for a young baby by touching it as little as possible. TO LIGHTEN THE HAIR. After a wash with whatever shampoo one likes best—some prefer a lather made of pure soap—the colour of the hair may be lightened by applying to the scalp the slrained juice of one lemon. This should be left for ten minutes, and then rinsed out, the hair bekig quickly dried with warm towels and sunshine. If some imagined how their hair shewed lack f care they would certainly give it more attention. Those who are well coifed are usually a joy to look upon, be they pretty or plain. FOR A HACKING COUGH. (lYe the juice of a lemon mixed in a break- fastcupful of hot water. This is also an excel- lent remedy for a sore throat, and if given very hoi niter the child is in bed, will often prevent a {■•■id from developing. Should the child object to the sourta.ste of the lemon, a few lumps of suar may be added.
NICE DISHES.
NICE DISHES. To JUG AN OLD HARE.—After cleansing and skinning, cut it up, season with pepper, salt, all- spion, pounded mace, and a little nutmeg. Place the joints in a jar with an onion, a clove or two, a bunch of sweet herbs, a piece of coarse beef, and place the carcase bones over ail. Tie the jar down with a bladder, and put it in a sauce- pan of water up to the neck, but no higher. Keep the water boiling gently for five hours. When the hare is to be served, boil up the gravy with a. piece of butter worked into flour. Warm the meat in this, but do not let it boil, or it will be hard. SNOW PUDDING.—Take two tablespoonfuls of cornflour, one teacupful of sugar, and the juice of two lemons. Mix all together, then add one pint of boiling water (must be boiling), and put on the fire till it comes to the boil, but do not let it boil. Add the whites of three eggs, beaten to a stiff froth, and mix all well together, and put into a good-sized mould. Serve cold with custard made from the yolks of three eggs, a little sugar, and one pint of milk. Boil to proper thickness. EGGS A LA ST. MAURION."Fry six or eight round pieces of bread in butter to a golden colour, saute a similar number of thick slices of ripe tomato with butter, duly seasoning them with salt and pepper. Dissolve loz. of butter in a stewpan, break in six eggs, add 2oz. of butter in small pieces, season all with salt and pepper, and stir it on the fire until it thickens. Put a portion on each of the crotites, and sprinkle with grated Parmesan, place them in the oven for a moment before serving. CROQUETTES OF VENISON.-Take about lib. of cooked venison, chopped finely, or put through a mincing machine, mix with 4oz. of finely-mashed potato, two tablespoonfuls of breadcrumbs, and seasoning of chopped herbs, shallot, and parsley, pepper and salt; blend the mixture with the yolks of three eggs and loz. of butter. and stir over the fire until it forms a paste, then turn it out on a plate to get cold. Form into croquette shapes, dip in seasoned batter, and fry in deep fat until a golden colour. Drain on paper, and. serve with rich venison gravy, flavoured with red-curraht jelly and port wine. FISH PYKAMIDS.—Finely shred Alb. of cooked dried haddock, add to it one tablespoonful of tomato sauce, and pepper to taste. Melt loz. of butter in a saucepan, stir into it the fish mix- ture keep stirring until boiling hot, then pile high in pyramid fashion on little rounds of either fried bread or buttered toast; sprinkle j finely-chopped hard-boiled egg over, and gar- nish with fried parsley,
