TIE DANyILLE REvIEw-The Presbyterian
Banner Of Feb 8th says this Reciew is tenn
porarily suspended Three causes are assigned
for this: the Withdrawal of two of its condac-
tors; the want Of sufficient pecuniary support;
and the divided state of opinion in the Synod
of Kentucky. The withdrawal of the two con-
doctors is very briefly noticed. 1t is simply
said 'The Rev. Drs. H. P. Humphrey and s.
Yerkes have informed the remaining conduc-
tors, now at Danvile, that they withdraw from
their connection with this Rerier.' We know
that these two gentlemen are the editors OF the
Western Pr.Sbs terian, lately established at
Danville, but if this had been the reason fer
their Withdrawal, it would no doubt have been
mentioned. 1t is not improbable, from intlma-
tions thrown out in this number, and also in
the first number of the new paper, that these
gentlemen adopt the action Of the Synod oil
Kentucky Ut its late meeting, rather than that
of the General Assembly, and of the Rertew
as it has spoken in the last few numbers
To noticing the last number the Tanner says
there is an article ON "Slavery in the Church
Courts by Rev Jacob Cooper, which will al
tract attention. He endorses the Assembly,
action fully, and regrets the course Ct the Synod
Of KY He says:
"Nlost Of us who are not in thorough sympa'
thy with secession, have Rugged neutrality sc
long, that we have become body of trimmefS
setting our sails for the propitious gale, wher'
ever that may come from. We desire very
much, that some person would tell US what tc
do, so that we might secure our own prosperity
and come out on the winning side. We have
tried 20 long to avoid offending erring broth
rem, that we do not know which side We really
occupy"

them with means, wherever the labers OF llv-
inr minister can be of avail All the men and
ali the means originate with the Presbytcrics.
If they are not furnished BY the Presbyteries,
the Committee cannot prosecute It's work. The
real idea here seems to be that committee has
a central location, and may view the whole
field ,-and indicate where labor may be most
useful. We have already in use better sys-
tenn. Appoint for each Corps in tho army a
Chaplain, who, in addition to his ministerial
labors, will act as an intelligence Office, and
who from his opportunities must know more of
the wants Of the army, than Committee at
Columbia can know, from the jottines in a note
book of some transient visitor For the APP
pointmens Of such Chaplains for corps, divi-
sions or brigades, the Intervention Of a commit
tee is not necessary; let them report to, and be
responsible to their own Presbyteres, and let
necessary information come at once to the
sources Of power.
/ We do indeed need system uniform and COM
prehensiye but it is a system of Collecting men
aud means, not Of using them when collected.
Let each Presbytery inaugurate system by
/ which every church within it's bounds shall put
forth its utmost exertions to supply the desti-
tuition in the army, and there will be little diff
fculty in finding place to employ the means
thus collected.
This is a great work, and needs to be en-
trusted to the hands of masters, not of servants;
it is work hard to be comprised and needs
the earnest labor of Individuals not the routine
systems Of religious engineers. The Presby-
teres, the individuals Of the ecclesiastc body,
mast DO the work or il viii not be efficiently
done Earnest men need to think, and to de-
wise; and to pray, as well as to labor in this
cause Let NE illustrate: The author of the
article on Army Missions, in his own Presbytcry
within few weeks, collected for the cause of
Domestic Missions an amount ten times greater
than that usually given to the cause, aud this
at the expense of little circuit-rding pleasant
to him and TO those whom he visited. The
committee OF Presbytery, through their yener-
able chairman, theTeuTOu advertised for men to
use the means. But one more step is noces-
sa1y; let the Presbytery send their commission
or around again to preach to the pastors, and
the work so far as the PSesbyteIy can accom-
plish it. is done. But why might not this same
labor be accomplished by the. Prcs6yteries, in
behalf Of the Assemblys committee? What
ever the theory is, the truth in practice GER
tainly is, that if you have an agent paid and
appointed to do your work, you are apt to let
him do it. The appeals from committee, in
a newspaper, will not be heard as the personal
applications Of Prosbyters for aid in Presby-
teral enterprise. Let us take heed that we do
not thrust upon others, however we'll paid and
well appointed, the work entrusted to US.

For THE CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN.
A comprehensive Agency.

a short time ago there appeared an article
in the central Prestyt riGn upon the subject
of Army Missions, advocating the cause of the
Assembly's Committee. The substance of the
article was, that system characterized by unity
and comprehcnsiveness IS necessary to this
work, and that the Committee is just such an
agency.
There are three things demanded here first
that We need system; secondly, that it should
be marked by unity and comprehcnsiyeness
and thirdly that the committee tulfls the two
conditions above.
The first two propositions need not be de-
u;.d, but thar Interpretation and aspiration
may DC doubted We have been so long taught
that in labor, system Is every thing, that it is
very difficult to aSsigo proper limits and boun-
daries to It's employment, and to obtain true
ideas Of its Legitimate value That We need in
ecclesiastical labor, as in all other, some system
cannot be doubted, but it is at the ZANE time
true that we may be led astray in the prosecu-
ton Of theory aud practice that have grown
upon u, that the more thorough and extensive
our organization and agencies, the more eff
GENTLY the work of the church will be accom-
pished. We may have more system than is
necessary if 50, there Is waste of material and
of power. Even though agents may do their
work well, there is both time and labor lost, if
the principals can accomplish the work without
such assistance Nov it is taken for granted
that the PreSbyterles cannot accomplish this
work, which is legitimately their own, without
the employment Of an agency different in or
ganizaton from their own, and that some sys-
tenn must be devised by means of which the
Presbyteries may work The reason assigned
for such necessity is, that the plan of Presby>
teral action is net characterized by unity and
consreAsasireness, especially with regard to the
work in the army. The work of Presbyteries
in Army Missions certainly does not lack unity
as characteristic, whatever else may be want
ing. They employ the same means, directed
to tho same object look for the same. result,
are actuated by the same spirit, and enjoy the
same reward, without at all coming into con.
aics the one with the other. They are united
by the strongest bonds in the prosecution of
this holy work, and their strength lies in the
union Of individual energies, cemented by the
indissoluble tie of a common object, and of a
common reward. That they are not unifoYm
in the prosecution of the work is eminentIy
true, but uniformity is not essential to success
and especially is this true with regard to the
army.
But is the system of Presbyterial action whose
existence is regretted in the article referred to,
enough? The system need not
be more comprehensive than the work to be
done This work is the eyangellzatlon Of the
srmy, or the sending of men and sustaining
