His hoary head is frosted with up ward of seventy Winters, but his zeal is equatorial.

By a destructive fire at Cokoto, Minn., the Lutherans, Baptists, Mathodiata. and Congregationalists have all lost their churches.

More than five hundred his strongest and most faithful sup- people were crowded about the sale. Mr. Moody’s efforts tor relieve the Philadelphia Young Men’s Christian Association of its heavy debt have been successful. It amounted to $400,600. Through the labors of Mr. Moody, Mr. Wanneinaker, and others, one-half the amount has been founded at a low rate of interest, and the other half has been raised. Friends in New’ York, through Mr. Moody, pledged $70,000 and the remaining $130,000 was secured in Philadelphia. The building has been placed in the hands of a Board of Trustees, who are to hold it for the benefit of the Association. Impor tant changes have been made in the constitution. A new Board of Direc tors will be elected, and the work of the association reorganized.

The Congvegationalist says; “An audience of nearly 1,000 people gathered at the First Church, Pitts field, Mass., on Sunday evening, July 29th, to hear Deacon Kirby relate his twenty-five years’ exper ience as a worker among the Esqui maux. He was the first missionary north of the Arctic circle, where the mercury stood sixty degrees below zero,'and w’here it took two years to receive goods from England.” The Union Protestant Congrega tion of Mexico City make an appeal for funds to erect Protestant churches in Mexico. Numbers of young men go to Mexico every year hoping to better their condition; fbey are thrown into society that has no respect for the Sabbath or the Bible; many become converts to Catholicism. In addition to the appeal to provide churches at much- needed points, the Protestants Con gregation of Mexico City ask for funds to establish a reading-room where American newspapers antfT good reading matter may be found • this will not only give a place of entertainment to strangers, but will also develop into an exchange of courtesies between our citizens resi dent and transient. Funds may be forwarded to J. Milton Green, Union Protestant Congregation, Mexico City.
