Increase of Presbyterianism.

Rev. John Mcdowell, in his semi-centenar6
sermon, made this interesting statement
The Presbyterian Church was divided in 1888,
since which time there have been two General
Assemblies. Both Assemblies should be taken
into the account in comparing the PRESBYTERIAN
Church as it now is with what it was fifty wears
ago. In the General Assembly of 1907. the first
I attended, the number of delegates in attendance
was tif1y-tour the number in the two Assemblies
which met lsst spring was four hundred and six
y-seveD. The number OF Synods when | enter
Cd the ministry was seven, the number now as
reported to the last Assemblies is fity-one. The
humber of Presbyteries when | commenced my
ministry was thirty -one; now il is two hundred
and fifty -four. The number of ministers in the
Presbyterian Church then was three hundred and
seventy now it is three thousand seven hundred
and sixty-ive The number of churches then
was six hundred and ninety four now it is four
thousand six hundred and thirty seven. aud the
number of communicates then was seventeen
thousand eight hundred and seventy one, now it
is three hundred and sixty thousand eight
hundred and eighty According to this
statement the Synods have been multiplied sew
en- times; the Presbytsles eight times, the min
lsters ten times, the churches seven times. and
the commandments twenty times"

The Union Sentiment of Virginia.


The Baltimore American pays the following
handsome tribute to the Union sentiment OF this
State:
"Indeed, no matter what the mystiications OF
Democratic party politics in former times, there
never was an hour in her history when the de-
votioD of Virginia to the Union Was not the
most prominent and unmistakable feature of her
political character. This magnificent loyalty to
the Union has always stood out IN Vlrgiuia pol
itics like her own Peaks of Otter above the sur
rounding mountains The Uuon was the first
born child OF this illustrious Mother of States.-
It was born of her patriotism, it has grown
strong and glorious under her training. George
Washington himself was not more truly and etn-
phatically Virginia production than was the
American Union. She first conceived the idea
of the present form of government; she hrst sug-
gested, and led the way to the conference which
set the ball in motion; she was the pioneer OF
the whole movement; she was the founder, the
expounder, the en1ower of this Government
And can this Mother of the Union, more unnat
ural than wild beasts, more self.stultifying than
iuDatics, be expected to turn upon and rend and
devour her own offspring? This Union she has
illustrated by her greatest names-it is Identified
with Washington, who is at once the chief glory
of Virginia and of America; with Marshall, the
most resplendent lulninary of Virginia and OF
America in law with Jefferson, first OF Repub-
lican statesmen; with Madison, whose luminous
and cogent vindications of the Constitution will
live as, long as that instrument itself; with an
interminable and immortal roll of statesmen and
soldiers such as no other Commonwealth in A
merica can boast. She has thus tar found both
glory and safety in the Union, and now, at this
decisive hour, 10 the amazing unanimity of her
action with reference to the Convention, she
proclams with the blast of a trumpet that she is

BY MRS. GEORGE A. HULsE N'LKoD
What varied emotions are awakened in the
minds of those who watch the enow flakes as
they fall. To the inquiring mind, they open
new views, full Of interest to philosophic vision.
Taking lower steps, from the fields OF science,
keeping our thoughts within the quiet boundary
of home, they are still changeful as an April sky
To the young, they come rs harbiEgers OF joy ;
and echoes OF merry voices mngle with the mu.
sic OF the bells, as sleighs freighted with happy
hearts follow each other in quick succession,
through the wintry night. tta
Bright eyes sparkle still more brightly, and
little children clap their hands for joy, or pause
TO listen wonderingly TO Grandmas legend OF
the poor old wolnsn picking geese Tar, tarsu il

W hat after lore can give the pure enjoyment
which belongs unto thy golden age2
| Age, and Youth, how Mysterious the ties thal
link you! yet, how far apart your steps upon
lite journey! Looking back from this to day
upon the many have numbered, | recall my
first impression of the ow-inantle, shroudiue
every outward object. Then, all was rnyster,
aud conjecture. Now, it speaks OF lites wintry
hours. 1t brings to mind the many who oncs
lett with me light footprints on its purity
How few remain One, by one, missed them
some lie quietly to day beneath the ground
which once they trod. Softly tall the fakes,
covering them gently mothers loving hano
her youngest born.

who saBg ny cradle songs, Yet hushed them ere
| caught the melody. He, vino was my pride OF
earth, my guide, protector, friend, with lite'>
work unfinished, with plans for others weal
unprotected, heard the " hlspered "Come" SO,
lett me weeping. They, the young and the light
hearted, with the light of joy still In their eyes,
with the smile on their young lips, they turned
ON the path winch now seems weary, want
ing them.
And the little ones, whose tiny feet ne'er lett
an impress on the show carpet, at which in bro
ken speech they wondered, they, too, come back
10 melnorys vision. Still the little outstretched
hands seem to need me. Ssill waking often
from ny sleep, listen for the voices which cali
me nor, unless il be permitted to the angels TO
mover thus around their earthly loved. Deep in
he EARTH s keeping, lie the caskets which ell
shrined my jewels; but when, as now, all with

union in our Father home, where brighter than
The sun, dazzling, and white as the snow, shall
be "tle great white throne." There, in the
robes winch have been made white in the blood
OF the Lamb, shall fiud mine own again.
Where the storm wind never blows,
Where the snow flakes never fall,
Where tie parting never cometh,
With Death sorrow, or its pail
Where Iife's broken thread made golden,
To be severed never more, .af
We shall hold again communion

And his true heart know is mine,

At morn, his steps watch

1t is most fearful fact to think of, that in ev.
cry heart there is some secret spring that would
be weak at the touch Of temptation, and that is
liable to be assailed. Fearful and yet salutary
TO think OF; for the thought may serve to keep

The Hour of Love.
BY GEO. D. PRENTICE.


The sunsets sweet and holy blush,
Is imaged in the sleeping stream,
All natures deep and solemn hush
Is like the silence of q dream;
And peace seems brooding like dove,
Ger scenes to musing spirits dear
Sweet Mary, tits the hour of love,
And were blest if thou vert here.
The myriad flowers of every hue
Are sinking to their evening rest,
Each with timid drop of dew,
Soft folded to its sleeping breast;
The birds within yon silent grove
Are dreaming that the spring is near
Sweet Mary, tits the hour of love.
And were blest If thou vert here.
On yon white cloud the night wind furls
Its lone and dewy wing to sleep,
And the sweet stars look out like pearls
Through the clear waves of fheaven's blue deep
The pale mists float around, above,
Like spirits of holir sphere
Sweet Mary, tbs the hour of love,
And were blest if thou vert here.
The pale full moon, in silent pride,
Der yon dark wood is rising now.
AS lovely as when by thy. side
saw 1t shining on thy brow;
It lights the dew-drops Of the grove,
As hopes bright smiles light beauty's tear
Sweet Mary, tits the hour of love, M
And were blest If thou vert here.
ALI as muse, strange, wild thrill.
Steals DER the fbres of my frame
A gentle presence seems to fill
My heart with love and life and flame;
feel thy spiri. round me move,
know thy soul is lowering near
Sweet Mary, It's the hour of love,
4 And | am blest, for thou art here.

For the Spectator.

Mr.. EDIToR:-I wish to submit few more
thoughts to your readers if you will allow me
the privilege. Though | am but an humble cit.
zen of the renowned Common wealth of Virein-
ia. yet feel proud to say that L can claim that
relation by birth, and so may every one feel who
bears the same relation; for upon her soil was
born the Chief of our nation And while she
has been pre-emiDent in honors without pumber.
she has also been the great centre of attraction
of this grand Oonfederacy, and has ever stood as
the umpire State. But never has there been a
time when she was looked upon with so much
interest and anxiety as at present and now
when / remember her exalted position add then
think of her present condition | mourn and
quake with fear that with all the honor that she
has accumulated it is even possible at this most
critical period of our history for her to fall from
her digni6ed and honored position. The qaes-
ti0n is now, who will come to her aid to strength
en- her that she may be able to stand the trying
conflict which she is about to pass through r.
May that noble body of her sops, which will as
semble on the 18th, have the wisdom and power
TO take her safely through the trying event that
not one of her jewels may be broken that will
dishonor her in the least for believe that upon
the action of that Assembly to a great extent
hangs our destiny as nation for veal or VICE.
And now, believing as do that Providence pre-
sided over, that Assembly which framed the
Constitution of the United States under which
we have grown to q mighty nation, and be will
preside over our State Convention, if bis people
will discharge their duty and sum up faith
enough to take him at his word for he has said,
"Ask and ye shall receive" Let every Chris
tian come before the throne of the heavenly
grace and ask God to govern and direct that bo-
dy for His own glory, that the rapid tide of ca
lamity which now threatens our country may be
hushed. l believe that it would not be any
more than our duty if we would assemble in
public on the same DAY that the Convention
meets, and in solemn devotion make our wants
known unto him who has also said, "Call upon
me in the day of trouble and will deliver thee"
There is too much complaining and useless talk
aud not enough of the right kind of action
May we all make sacrifice of opinion and try to
save the Union. q.
