donor. Mrs. Wright is the oldest living member of
Mount Zion Church, New Orleans. A large number
‘of people attended the bell-dedication services. Pas-
tor Aaron Wiley delivered the sermon upon the oc-
casion, basing his thoughts on Ps.150,1—5. ‘The
Mount Zion Chorus rendered a number of appro-
priate anthems. — Our efficient and faithful teacher
at Carrollton, Mr. Peter Robinson, had an enrol-
ment of 149 pupils last month. Of course, his
average attendance falls considerably below that
figure, but it is above 100.

Berutenem, New Orieans. — The school of
our Bethlehem Mission has passed all previous rec-
ords. Its enrolment is 271 scholars, while the aver-
age daily attendance is 212. Tuition for October
was $63.70. According to last accounts, the workers
were then busy in providing room for a fourth

teacher and his class. For the present, Pastor

Kramer intends to take charge of this fourth class.

The Christian’s Joy.

“In 1826 I met,” says an English officer of In-
dia, “in Belgaum a converted Brahmin whose con-
fession of Christ, as I knew, had cost him every-
thing. No sooner had he been baptized than his
possessions were taken from him, and even his wife
and children left him. ‘Are you able to bear your
troubles? Are you sustained under them?’ I asked
him one day. ‘Many ask me that,’ he answered,
‘but they never ask me whether I am able to bear
my joys; for I enjoy a happiness in my heart since
I know Christ which nobody has been able to take
from me.” — Can. Kwchenblatt.
