The Christian at Work says’ “ The Westminster Presbyterian Church, Brooklyn, has successfully conducted telephonic worship. In a sounding board over the pulpit are two glass reflectors depending so as to throw their light directly on the reading desk. A Blake transmitter of the same tension was placed in both reflectors, and the tones of the voice were found to be distinctly clear, ami were conveyed to an invalid’s house a fifth of a mile away, and on a recent Sunday a lady participated in divine wor ship for the first time in years.” We suggest that those brethren who can not enjoy such privileges would do well to revive the good old cus tom of coming to church. Try it.

In the Lord’s supper, it is essen tial that a man eat and drink, and there must be bread and wine enough for this purpose. In liap- tism, it is essential that a man be buried in the water, and there must be water enough for this purpose. The Scriptures teach that baptism is a burial. We care nothing for used, so the. ... act commanded is performed. What we object to in the Methodist prac tice is, that baptism is not perform ed at all. If they will baptize, we care not how little water they do it in.— Christian Messenger. Joseph Cook has commenced his eighth course of the Boston Monday Lectureship, and one of the ques tions which he proposes to handle is the inspiration of the Scriptures: We shall expect to see something to the point on this important ques tion : “ When Robert Leighton, afterwards Archbishop, was once re proved for not ‘ preaching up ’ the times as all the ministers did, he grandij- answered, “Let one poor brother preach up Jesus and Eter nity.” There are no grander themes or mightier inspirations to-day for consecrated ministers» than those which kindled Robert Leighton’s soul.
