From tie CAam9ers5urg Repository.
REV. DIR. MeKISLE,


Whose death was announced last week,
was licenced to preach the Gospel by the
Presbytery of Carlisle in th, fall of 1927.
Immediately afterwards, he was invited to
rake charge Of the church 10 Bedford, Pa,
over which, after ordination, he was install
led, paster, aud continued in that capacity
four years, when he was compelled by
bronchial affection to resign his charge and
desist from the labors OF the ministry for
about two years. After regaining his
health he became pastor of the second Pres
byterian church in Carlisle which be served
with eminent success for about Eve years.
About this time, vigorous efforts we're made
to arouse the branch OF the Church to which
he belonged 10 the importance of the work
of Foreign Missions, and Mr.. McKINIY was
urged to embark in this work az an agent:
which be did, aud served in that capacity
three, years, with an efficiency and success
the result Of whict are probably felt to this
day in the region in which he labored. In
the fall of 1S4l ne was chosen pastor of the
Presbyterian Church in this place and labor
ed as such until the close Of 1850. To his
fathfulness and zeal in high calling whilst
amongst us, all bear testimony, and the bles-
sing which attended his labors many have
cause to remember with gratitude. After
laboring for short time in Pittsburg he
was employed BY the Board of Domestic
Mission Of the Presbyterian Church as an
agent aid itinerant uiissionsry, in which
sphere, being suited to his tastes and health,
as he supposed; he labored with much zeal
and also with much success until he
was laid aside by the attack Of disease which
fnally terminated fatally, and which WAS
probably in some nesure induced BY Eis over
zeaalous labcrs He knew not how to spare
himself, and often labored, as his triends
believed, beyond his strength.
He gave every evidence of truly good
man, according 10 the high standard OF the
Christian calling. In all places wherever
he was kuogn, among saints and sinners,
there mas been but one opinicn as to the
depth and fervor Of bis piesy which evincel
itseif in very early youth. He was kind,
affectiona.e and attractive in aspect and ad
dress. He lad large views of the duties Of
the Church, and of society; the first to en-.
deavor BY missionary operations to spread
the gospel over the world, and By family
religion to educate devoutiy her baptised
youth; the second to purify itself BY whole
some and pru3ent moral reforms. Every
cause which be believed good received from
him cordial support. As such he viii
be remembered by our citizens generally.
Bat ae has rested from HIS labors and his
works Go follow him.

a Coed Move.

George Copway, an Indian Chief of
the Ojibway nation, is now lecturing in
the West, for an object which embodies
a grand idea. He describes it as fol-
lows
81 propose to select Immediately a
portion of the country lying west of and
bordering on the Missouri river, COM
mencing at that point one hundred and
fifty miles above Council Bluffs, running
in south-westerly direction two hundred
miles, thence East to the Missouri river,
and down that river to the place of be-
ginning. In this Territory, | propose
to collect all the different tribes of the
northwestern Indians, and form an In
dian Territory, to be governed by Ter
ritorial government until such time when
the Indians become sufficiently educated
and civilized TO govern themselves and
make application for admission into the
Union as an independent State. By the
aid of schools and churches, and well
devised plan of missionary labor, in
teaching agriculture and the mechanical
branches. AS well as the. English Ian
guage and the Protestant religion, | feel
sanguine that the Indian can, in much
less time than is generally supposed. be
brought to appreciate the advantages of
civilization, and elevated to a position
approximating his white brother. Once
collected in the Territory alluded to, and
confined 10 that Territory, he would at
once be compelled to turn his attention
to agriculture, and, if protected from
the whisky of the white traders, would
soon be able to live comfortably from the
products of his lands.
This Territory l desire to have sur
veyed, and propose proceeding (as
soon as can raise sufficient funds) to
the Territory of Nebraska to secure the
approval aud cooperation of the officers
of the Territory, and after doing this,
and having the proposed Territory sur
yeyed, to return to Washington before
the assembling of the next Congress,
and lay before that body my plans and
petitions for my people"

thoughts for the rhoughtfui.

Love has often more influence than
talent. The last appeals to the reason,
the first to the affections--the last speaks
to the intellect, but the first goes straight
to the heart.
Humane affections, sancti6ed by the
divine blessing, may be made the instru-
mcnt of much good: wanting that bless
ing, it is but shining light without lie
or warmth.
Those who are always mending the
road to Heaven, have no time TO pursue
it; as the man who carries the lantern
strlmbles oflener than he who follows il.
Always do as the sun does, look at ti,e
bright side of things. For while it is as
cheap, it is three times as good for diges-
ton. The melancholy man don't even
relish wedlock.
I'm the heraldry Of Heaven writes
Bishop Horne, goodness preeedes great
ness - SO on earth it is often FAR more
powerful. The lowiy and the loving may
frequently do more in their own limited
sphere than the gifted.
How small our. knowledge is; how
narrow our mindsl We float about in a
sea of error, and catch here and there a
pearl of truth and each knows nothing
of the treasure which another finds.
