my presence known by some sign, so that

Mr.. Moderator, 1 said awhile ago that in
the absence of any clear and well defined
standard OF loyalty" and in the constant
shifting OF the standard both anon gst church.
men and statesmen, there was a solid and in
superable objection against the passage Of
tins order. Now, sir, add that the same
objection lies with equal force against the
order as It respects the subject OF freedom"
1t leaves 1t entirely to the Board" to settle
the standard by which the loyalty" and
freedom necessary to be approved shall be
determined. Then, sir, it will be requisite
that this board should prepare catechism
on these subjects Of loyalty and freedom,
that our ministers may have some guide in
their preparation for examination. And
what are TO be the points of inquiry on this
yexed and complicated subject of freedom
Is 1t to denounce slavery as the 'sum Of all
villainiesH 2 Is it to say that to hold a slave
is IN itself sin and the STAKEHOLDER a criTni-

Is the root Of all evil" and makes a man

have understood that there is q memorial in

sembly to give an expression in favor Of ''ne-

than this? In the present stage Of this
movement surely no questions could be
more pertinent than such as these
Are you in favor Of immediate and perfect
civil and social equality between the whites
and blacks ?
Are you in favor Of using the negroes to
keep down the Roman Catholics
Are you in favor Of negro suffrage
Are you in favor Of matrimony between
weites and blacks?
Let us know at least something about this
catechism Of freedom to be used by the
Board, before we give them both the author
ity to make it and the power to enforce It as
a test Of the fitness of q Presbyterian minis
ter to preach the Gospel Of Christ to the

LOYALTY.

WE give below some extracts from
speech of the Rev. DR.. Wilson, of KY,
delivered before the General Assembly
of the Presbyterian Church at Pittsburg
on the 10Th of May. 1t is described as
having electrified the Assembly and the
immense audience present, as we can well
imagine it would-for it administers a
stinging rebuke to that self-righteous
spirit-prevalent in all denominations
which seeks to degrade the churches of
the land to the service of politicalparty
We commend it to the careful perusal
of all.
The following Resolution being under
consideration, viz:
RESOLVED, That no Missionaries be
appointed by the Board, except those
giving satisfactory evidence of loyalty to
the National Government, and of cordial
sympathy with the Presbyterian Church
in her testimony on Doctrine, Loyalty,
and Freedom"
DR.. WILSON said
Mr.. MODERATOR 1t is with great
difficulty I can so recolleCt myself as to
realize that am sitting in court of the
Lord Jesus Christ and not in political
convention or in the Hall ofa State Leg
islature. So much has been said about
"loyalty" to Cesar and so little-so very
little-about loyalty to Jesus Christ, the
Head of the Church. 1 shall, however,
endeavor so far to recall my tOoughts to
the character of this Assembly and to the
proprieties of Court of the Church,
professedly acting under the guidance of
the Holy Spirit and according to the
teachings of the Word of God, as to abb
stain from the following those who have
preceded me, in their windings and
wanderings on the subject of loyalty

NY FIRST PATIENT,

IAN sitting in my consulting room in
dingy house in a dingy street. The
neighborhood is fashionable, being in the
vicinity of news, and having strong
smell of straw and stabling about it. My
consulting room is so called, lucus a non
lucenlo. because no one has thought fit
to consult me in it-that is no one to
speak of, because an elderly female did
once plunge into my apartment with her
little boy, who had overeaten himself,
alleging that the unhappy cub chad
overbalanced his heart, poor deer, a di-
agnosis which did not seen familiar, and
for a time perplexed me.
I am a surgeon, and have been two
years a qualified practitioner. But as
yet, save the elderly lady referred to, I
have had no patient. yet my door lamp
is the brightest, and burns the bluest of
any ia the neighborhoOd. My brass
plate is the largest and the brassiest. 1
have been called out of church on an
average four times every Sunday; the
policeman regularly hammers at my door,
in manner to disturb the whole street,
in the smaller hours of the night; para
graphs in the Piccadilly pepper, the To-
cal organ of the district, have regularly
set forth the imaginary accidents that l
have attended with my usual prompti-
tude and kindliness Of heart;" but it has
been all to no purpose [ am ready to
bleed for my country, but my country
will not be bled. My practice in anato-
nv is still confined to the dissection Of
my daily mutton chop; and in despair l
had given pills to all my servants, inelu-
ding my boy in buttons, till they struck
for board wages, with an increase contin-
gent on the consumption of draughts and
powders; and I had serious thoughts Of
taking some of my own medicine myself,
My last card had failed. A case of med
ais and a prize cup, with an inscription,
For Proficiency in Pathology" placed
within full view of the open window, on
ly tempted thieves and not patients and
policeman called to suggest that 1 was
hot to be so lavish of my plate. Poor
fellow he little knew all were dummies
I had written paragraphs in the Lancet
on Hydrocephalus" and "Asphyxia," 1"
had even very serious thoughts of writ
ing a book, and was one evening sitting
solitary in my room, musing on the bit
terness of sublunary things, especially of
aloes and other drastics, when rap came
at the door. A dun, by Jove Ia tax
gatherer, 1 thought. I listened a lady's
voice The rascal Jack had opened the
front door at once, as if he knew it was a
