The New York Tribune recently stated, and the Financial Review approvineg re- peated. the statement that“the old saying that pmsperity is bad for religion seems to be borne out in the year just closed.” It would be interesting to know upon what facts or figures these two papers base this remarkable statement. It is doubtful whether any more persons than usual are reading the Bible as litera- ture, or that the large sales of other books have in any way influenced the sale of Bibles. If. therefore, the sale of Bibles l has increased during the last year it would indicate increased interest in re- ligion and the churches. What are the facts? Since July 1, on which date the largest edition of Bibles on record was printed by a Chicago Bible publishing house, that house has been unable to fill its orders, and is today over £1,000 copies behind its sales. Another edition of like number with the flrst.now on the presses, will be consumed by the trade by Dec. 1. Never before has 'a Chicago publisher sold over 15,000 copies of the Bible in a year, while the sales of this one house have been three times that number in six months. There is no reason. to suppose that what is true in one city as to Bible ‘ — of the mini-.try from existence.

It is now expected that by the close of this year the aggregate fund will reach $75,000,000. It is to be reqornbored also that the collection of this great fund has not in any way interbred with the regular church collections for running on- penses. This does not look as if “proo- perity is bad for religion." 0n the other thing for religion. Religion is not only prosperity. - -——-——r* ' I Goldwin Smith, in. the Weekly Sun, says: The party system his sprung to its operation than the‘solidarity of the Cabinet. itinistern diner, L and of course they often do differ. ‘rm each other in council but they must present a. solid front to Parliament and people. Mr. Torte is showing first-rate sport, but in a manner totally fatal to the administra- tion or which he is a memo... It is ludicrous to pretend that a Cabinet Minister, and one supposed to have a powerful followinrr, can. without des- tructicn of the'soliduirity or the Cabinet, tikethe itump against his chief or his c llearues on the most important question of the day. Mr. Tarts must be laughing at us when he affects toregard such a pro— c:edigig as an ordinary ex+rcise of the pr vilsge of freepdiscussion. His ultimate aim is known onlyzto himself. But it is clear that the immediate effect of his escapade must be either his own elimina- tion from the mini-try er the elimination Sir Thomas Shanghnessy, at the annual meeting of the Canadian Pacific Railway "Subject to certain tarifl’ arrogant.» the C.
