a GREAT MISTAKE.

Last month bill vas passed by Con-
gress to supply cur hospitals with clothing.
Under the impression that this would at
once meet all their wants, there seems 10
have been a relaxation of effort on the part
of those who had before been exeriiog them
selves with so much energy. As an illus
tration, the Young MEMS Christian Associ-
atm, which has been sucl a fountain Of
blessing to thousands, has received, since
The FIST Of this month, only Jios dollars! So
We were told few days ago.
II should be borne in mind that the in
terposition of Congress cannot become of
much effect for some lime. And even then
there will be so much increase of want and
suffering, that every agency, public and
private, will he hard pressed to meet the
exigency. The condition in which thousands
of our paroled prisoners are brought here
is enough to melt heart of stone. 1t
will be sad thing if the expectation of
public bounty should abate individual or
private enterprise.
We take the occasion to say, for the en-
couragement of the many whose hearts
yearn not only for the temporal, bat far
more for the spiritual welfare of our sol
dier8, that abundant facts satisfy us more
and more every day, that the church Of God
never had more interesting field in which
to work The thirst Of our soldiers, espe-
cially in the hospitals, for the Word of God
is marvellous, and leaves no room to cues
lion that "this IS The Lords do5ag."

Here then was the spontaneous testimony
Of their own good sense and conscience,
before they. were perverted by party heat,
witnessing that the question was not oae OF
Bible obedience, but Of political opinion,
not spiritual, but secular. And it wonId
have been felt to be as preposterous for the
church to legislate about it under claim
of Christ's authority, as for her to tell Us
nv Cbrists command, whether we should
favor the Federal tariffs or free trade
whether we should advocate the cOnstruc-
tion Of public works, by the Federal or BY
State governments.
The ecclesiastical court Of Presbyteriars
in the Confederate States have therefore
assumed a ground perfectly consistent and
Scriptura. They have not undertaken to
legislate on this question, for or against
Southern independence they have only
resisted those who did so legisIate. They
have not plunged into the arena Of affairs
secular and political, in order TO intnnge
She Christian liberty Of any church member;
thew have only followed the church courts
Of the North, SO far as their error necessi-
tated into this secular argument, in order
to protect the Christian liberty CT all
Hence although the ministers. elders, aud
Christians composing the Presbyterian
church in the Confederate States are so
individuals, almost unanimously, and strong
". advocates Of Southern independence,
hat church has not undertaken to tell It's
members by,eccesiastcal authority wheth-
err they ought to have voted for separation
or not. And no mans church standing is
touched in the least, for having thought,
spoken. or voted against it.
From Tile discussion we draw this c"rol-
larry; that The Presbyteries il the Confed-
crate States did wisely and rightly IN form
ing for themselves new ecclesiastical cor
uexion. lis a prepoateroua abuse Of Scrip
ture, to brand this act, SIS in Itself, the sin
of schism. For, by the same rule, the old
mother Presbytery and Synod Of Philadel-
phia would be convicted Of the sin Of schism
against the Presbyterian church of Scot
land. There hos Jcen Il schism; that is,
sunderiDg of Christian love, and rending
away of the church from a part Of Christs
truth; bat the Northern Presbyterians are
alone the schismatcs. We, however, need
not argue that this popi8h assumption Of
unscriptural power over our consciences, so
enormously and cruelty exercised, I'M
churches that body and constitutes it anti
christ We need only argue that it com
PEELED our declaration of spiritual indepen-
dence. No other course was open to us,
consistent with fidelity to Christ, religious
freedom, self-respect and peace. And the
temper displayed in the Assembly's paper
shows clearly how little our further connex-
ion with them would have been for edif2a,
ton.

For THE CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN.
Henry R. Paine

This brave soldier, accomplished scholar,
and useful Christian fell in the second bat.
tie CT Manassas, on the 10Th of August,
1862. lie was first Sergeant in the Rock
bridge Artillery, the son Of Dr.. John w.
Paine Of Lexington, Va, and 80 years of
aye Favored from early childhood with the
advantages of the best schools, he became
eminent as a scholar at an early age. 70
all this was added the higher graces Of the
enlightened and consistent Christian. The
Presbyterian was the church of his fathers
and the church Of his choice. Ia the com
munion Of that chdrch ne liyed-beioved and
honored-and died deeply lamented. Sell
dom has the cause Of sound learning and
tru. piety sustained a greater loss in the
death Of one so young.
After graduating with distinction at Wash
ington College Va, he taught classical
and mathematical school, of high grade at
Holly Springs, Miss. Such was the reputa
ton be gained here, that he Was offered a
professorshp in one Of our best colleges
Bat he was unwilling to take this higher
position, until he had made himself more
thorough scholar. lie accordingly repaired
to Germany, where for nearly two years, he
prosecuted his studies with much zeal and
success. Gu his return from Earope, the
North had already commenced their war Of
subjugation on the south, and although he
was now well fitted to shine in the peaceful
and honorable walks Of Literature and Re-
ligion-SeekDg no promOtiOn-counting
not his own life dear unto him, 80 that he
might do his part in driving from his native
son Jne ruthless invader, he enter the
ranks, and as private, with the utmost self
denial, skill and courage, for period of
more than twelve months, he fought until
he fell, MORALLY wounded. His Captain, in
communicating the sad tidings to his widow
ed mother, adds, His departure was peace
fnl and happy. No one could desire more
noble, more honorable death than his-that
OF a Christian soldier in 4 righteous cause.
While any thing may say can be Of little
avail in assuaglng the grief Of . widowed
mother hear, yet as matter Of justice TO
your son, would ask to record my high APP
probation Of his character az Cbrstiun
gentleman and soldier. By his kind and
courteous manner, he secured the respect
andesteem of his comrades, ana by prompt
and conscientious discharge of every duty,
and his remarkable GOODNESS and self-pos-
session in time of action. he won the admi-
ration and confidence OF his officers"
A member of his company writes as fol
lows-"He was perfectly calm and resigned
and was conscious to the last. A friend in
tears, asked him, what message he had for
Ms mother and sisters. He said, tell them,
stood at nay post as long as I could. !
suffer, no: only tog Virginia, but FOR Christ's
church"
Another friend, writing to his mother
ays, His last words at his gun were, my
warfare is oyer-men, stand TO your post" |
