own name. 1t is also well known that
Mr.. MCCORMICK was eminently con-
sentative, and opposed to the church
having anything to say on the subject
of slavery. 1t has now taken place
that DR.. McMAsrERs, who, eight years
ago, was bitterly opposed by Mr.. Nc
CoRMICK forihis ultraism on the Vexed
question, has been installed into the
/ professorship bearing his name.
Just preceding his installation,
Prof. CHARLES ELLIOTT delivered the
opening lecture, his subject being
"The relation of Christ's kingdom
and the preaching of the gospel to civil

As the principles of righteousness
overlaps all human activities, the
Christian is bound to yield to them in
all things, whether they be civil. polit-
ical or religious.
Professor EDGAR, the of Assembly's
College, in Belfast, ireland, died on
the Goth ultimo, in the 69th year of
his age. In addition to his professor
ship, DIR. EDGAR was an ardent work
er in all benevolent enterprises, Tenn
perance, Anti-Slavery, the Education
of the Deafand Dumb, Institutions for
the Blind, &c.
The Northern Wing, of Ireland,
says. Fully seyen-eights of the meet
ing houses in Belfast have been erect
ed by his energy, and throughout Ire
land at least fifty of the houses of
worship owe their existence to his
efforts. His services and wondrous
force of character have left an abiding
impression, marking, as it does, dis
tinctive era in the Church's history"
Thus has raised away a Christian
philanthropist of boundless energy,
and inexhaustable enthusiasm in
every cause with which the welfare of
man and the progress of Christ's
kingdom were identified. !"
We may here add, that Prof EDGAR
was personally known to most of our
Irish citizens from North Ireland.
