Twelve Stimdists , clorcu man and a
woman , were accused before the district
court of Kiev , Russia , of indulging in tholr
heretical religious oxorcUoj. The testimony
against thorn showed that early In the winter
the police hail warned thorn not to hold any
more moatings. They wore at tiio time re
quired to sign a promise that they would
not assemble a alu , but on M irch IS In
formation was roueiyod in the precinct
bureau that they had aJscrabloifor religious
exercises at the housoof the peasant StopUan
L'lkanofT. The captain , with "a psjso of pj-
line , raidoJ tha pluoo. HJ found two rooms
lighted with a uunibjr of candles and lamps ,
and about twenty parsons , man and women ,
sitting arcuud. On a t iblo bjforo thorn was
a Now Testament and a psalm book in the
Russian language. Ulion the question by the
captain what they were doing they answered
ttintthav were "ro.idinir the word ot God. "
Twelve of the compiny were arrested ;
the rest escaped. Before the court they con
fessed that they haj been praying to
the Lord Almighty and singing His praises ,
"for men must turn to Him as children turn
to their father , invoking His goodness nnd
, grace , nnd thanking Him for His mercy. "
Thop had had n pastor named Semen Vlnkoff ,
who was now serving his time In the Kiev
prison , convicted of propagating the doc
trines of Stundism. Since his incarceration
the peasant PlKnnOfl , "who can read and px-
plaln the word ot God. " acted as minister.
Tno district Judge fined them -ID rubles ouch ,
in default of which they should servo two
months in prison None of thorn would pay
the flno. The men offered to pay the line
of thu woman , but she refused to accept it
and snid that "slid would rather subject her
self to the same trials which her fellow be
lievers have to bear. " Viedmostl of Moscow ,
reporting this case , loses Its temper in con
templation of such things happening among
genuine Slavs. "There was not a foreigner
among the convicts , nor diu any of them
make nn effort to deny or to explain away his
heresy. This is simply revolting , " exclaims
the orthodox paper.

Bishop Crowther was born about eighty
years aso on the Bonuo river , the largest
tributary of the Niger. Ho was a little savage -
ago boy , and none of his people had over
seen white men , when , In 18'il , Mohammedan
slave traders attacked the little settlement
where the lad lived , says Goldthwuitc' *
Geographical Magazine. YUnotrz their cap.
lives was the mother and her throe children ,
Including the boy , Adjal , who was to b3coiip
the future bishop of the Niger. His father ,
who belonged to the Ejba ; tribe , dicd.ln the
defense of his homo.
The boy was separated from his captive
mother ' and two younger sisters , and It was
many years before ho saw them again. In a
few i mouths Adjal became the property , in
succession ! , of four masters , having boon sold
from ( ono to nnothor for tobacco and rum
The great fear ttiat haunted him through all
those changes wa i that ho might bo sold to
the dreaded white men , the Portuguese slave
dealers on the co.ist. Hls'terror of this fate
was so great that bo once tried to throw him
self into a river , and on several occasions at
tempted to strangle himself with his belt.
The fate ho feared , however , overtook him ,
for ho found himself nt last coullno.1 in n sti
lling slave shod on the coast with iron fetters
around his neck nnd n chain fastening him to
his comrades in misery. Ono night ho was
taken on board n slave ship with a cargo of
lb others , and was soon on ills way to Cuba
or Brazil. But help wn at hand. The Brit
ish war ship Mirmldon saw the slaver ns .sho
started on her Journey and went in pursuit ,
The slaver was captured and Alnl nnd his
fellow slaves wore taken on board the war
ship , nnd on Juno I" , Ib'J , ' , they were landed
at Sierra Leone , the homo of the free. The
story of the poor little ooy's fright , as ho was
taken on board the
man-of-war has often
been told. Ho thought ' 10 saw the lloih of
his comrades whom ho missed hanging up In
pieces to dry , and ho was ho trilled to see ob
jects which ho mistook far their bends lying
in order on the deck. They were Joints of
pork nnd cannon balls. The boy was taken
to Bathur.stwhero his education began. Ho
was a bright student and finally took an extensive -
tensive course in England where bo graduat
ed from the college at Islington.

There has bean In circulation among the
alumni of tbo Union theological seminary a
protest "against any action which seeks to
undermine the confidence of the church in
Dr. Briirgsor to remove him from his post ,
tlon of valued Influence , " and suggesting the
injury that hasty or UUconsldorod
action may do the Pro'bvto'rlan church.
After expressing regret that the Inaugural
address should bo the occasion of misconcep
tion nnd apprehension , the alumni , by signIng -
Ing the protest , announce tholr conlldcnco In i
Dr. BriggH ns a sufo uvangollcal toucher and I
say : "We regard him M u man possessed
not only of exceptional learning , but also of [
rare piety and consecration. Instead of I
bringing reproach upon the bible , ns has been

power of Imbuing bis students with an
earnest love for the inspired word of God I
and a comprehensive insight into its pro-
foumlest truthUnis training them for a moro
skillful use of the 'sword of tno spirit , ' " A

Story ofuv Church Classic.
It will bo news to many that the beautiful
old hymn sung with every creed nnd voicing
thodovotlon of nil Christians slnco 1SIO , and
almost universally ascribed to Montgomery ,
the great EngllshlliymnologUt , beginning
I'rayer Is the mini's sincere desire ,
Uttered or unexpressed
The motlonof a hidden lire ,
That trenlblcs In the breast ,
is of American authorship , reports the Now
York Herald. It is now earnestly claimed
that tills hymn was llio composition of Miss
Wllhelmlna Crosswoll of Carlisle , Pa. , who
subsequently became the wife of Captain
Dawson of the United States army , nnd the
mother of Andrew II. II. Dawson , a member
of the Now York bar. What would scorn to
giro color to the claim is that In 1S19 Mont
gomery published a volume of hymns of his
own composition and published this along
with them as anonymous , and that In the
original manuscript in the hands of the Dawson -
son family there nro othnr stanzas not pub
lished by Montgomery , which In poetic lire
nnd deep devotion are so akin to the fnmiliar
hymn ns to induce the belief that they nro
by the sumo author , nnd that this hymn was
published in America by Mrs. Dawson in
1810. The Into eloquent pastor of I'lymoutu
church , Brooklyn , wrote this charactonstio
letter In October , 1831 :
Mr DEAII DAWHO.V ! Yes , I am on your side.
Your mother did write that hym bleis hor.
Itoth she and Montgomery have mot nnd set
tled It all In heaven , where prayer is sup
planted by praise. Vonrs ,

The following are soma of the stanzai un

Prayer Is the sweetest way to blend
Our hopes and fuars with lo\e ,
Wlii'iiu.snrli message fair would send
To Him who reigns above. .
'TIs when the bnrdqn of our grief
Hceins moie than wo can bear
That we nre prune to ask relief
From Him who answers prayer.
