For THE CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN.
DR.. Kalopothakes Mission in Greece.

Some of the readers of the Central
Presbyterian can remember the time,-
some 30 years ago, when the brethren,
S. R. Houston and G. W. Leyburn,-
latter two years after the former,-sailed
for the Mediterranean, with their young
wives, as Missionaries of the Central and
American Boards of Missions, then act
ing comparatively. Mr.. H. was at first
sent to Scio, in the Grecian Archipelago,
--the beautiful isle which, up to the
breaking out of the Greek revolution and
the sad and horrid scenes of Scio's fate
in April, 1922, had been the high-seat of
modern Greek wealth, learning, and re-
fnement. But, from the effects of that
catastrophe, the tale of which has rung
in the ears of all Christendom, Scio never
recovered. Learning transferred its seats
cf culture to Continental Greece, when
its freedom was achieved. And, still
more, Mr.. H. was obstructed in his
efforts, especially that of establishing
high school for Greek youth, which was
his principal object in going to Scio,-by
the opposition of the Patriarch of Con-
stantinople, the spiritual head of the
Eastern Church ["Greek," commonly
called, in Turkey, to missionary schools,
translations, &c.
Just at this juncture, course of re-
markable and interesting circumstances
was going on,-which some who read this
will call to mind,-that seemed to open
the way for Mr.. H. in free Greece. The
most southerly promontory of Greece,
formerly part of the ancient Laconia,
is one of the most rugged and sterile re-
gions of the Mediterranean countries. Its
cliffs and gloomy mountain heights, amid
which, in olden times, was the reputed
descent to the internal regions, and
which, in our less fabulous modern days,
have furnished sometimes the nesting
places of corsairy, present most forbid
ding aspect to the passer-by on the sea ;
and if your vessel nears the point where
the waves lash the rocky point of old Tae-
narum,-now Matapan,-you descry the
Maniat villages,-(for Name is the un-
traceable name of that rockbound dis
trict, )-perched upon the mountain sides,
and presenting quite q picturesque ap-
pearance, amid the foliage of the olive,
fig, and other domestic trees that cluster
around them and relieve the nakedness
of the forestless heights,--many of the
houses running up into the castle-like
towers, so peculiar to the Maniats, and
so historic of the former times, when, for
ages, they remained either free entirely
from Turkish bondage, or, as at last,
were under mere nominal subsection,
but, in which times, they were divided
into clans and factions, like those Of
European feudal days, and ever waging
war among themselves.

NOTHING TO DO.

Nothing to do" in this world of ours,
Where weeds spring up with the fairest flowers
Where smiles have only 6tfnl play,
Where hearts are breaking every day
ssNothing to dol" thou Christian soulI
Wrapping thee round in thy selfish stolel
OF with the garments of sloth and sinl
Christ, thy Lord. hath kingdom to win.
''Nothing to dol" there are prayers to lay
On the altar of incense, day by day;
There are foes to meet, within and without,
There is error to conquer, strong and stout
''Nothing to do" there are minds to teach
The simplest forms of Christian speech.
There are hearts to lure with loving vile,
From the grimmest haunts of sins de6le.
Nothing to do! " there are lambs to feed,
The precious hope of the Cburch's need
Strength to be borne to the weak and faint,
vigils to keep with the doubling saint.
Nothing to dol" there are heights to attain,
Where Christ is trans6gured yet again;
Where earth will fade in the vision sweet,
And the soul press on with winged feet.
Nothing TO dol" and thy Saviour said,
Follow thou me in the path tread"
Lord, lend thy help the journey through,
Lest fainting We cry, So much to do! y

They continue to use the language, in
both the sense and the sound, to which
they have been accustomed from their
childhood, without suspecting that it is
either incorrect or in bad taste. If then
"S. L. Co. who has proved his compe-
tency for the task, and has the advan-
tage of having already gained the ear of
the public, will point out and criticise
these pulpit faults, in the spirit of can
dor and kindness displayed in his stric-
lures recently published in your columns,
1 am persuaded that there are many of
our young ministers who will feel that
they are his debtors for life.
Of course, there are those who will
say that these are small matters-too
small and insignificant to be discussed
in public journal; just as I have
heard some say of the faults in manner
which your correspondent designated.
Others may say, it will tend to embar-
rass our young ministers already sufici-
emily appalled, by the mere thought of
addressing congregatiea,t - feel that
there are critics there, wasching every
movement of the hands and every utter
ance of the lips, "takin' notes" with
the intention too to "prent them" On
the first point, I agree with "S. L. G." }"
that nothing ought to be accounted small
or insignificant which is calculated to
render minister acceptable, or even
only little more acceptable, to any por-
ton Of his congregation. Propriety, cor
rectness, good taste in every respect, will
render him none the less acceptable and
useful to the class ignorant or Indifferent
with respect to such things; they will rem
der him more acceptable and useful to
the other class; in most congregations
there are some persons to whom neg
lect of them will render him actually
distasteful.
As to the second objection, it is sufi-
cient to remark, that whether agreeable
or not to the young minister, the critics
are in the congregation, and he cannot
eject them, nor prevent their note-taking
and structures. 1t is an ordeal through
which he has to pass-a cross, if you
please, he has to bear. His defence
against the annoyance, is to exhibit such
propriety in his manner and diction, that
the critic shall find no material for CEN
sure or ridicule. 1t is to aid him in at
tanning such propriety that IS. L. c."
has opened a discussion, which [ would
take the liberty of urging him to con-
tinue and enlarge until the entire ground
of what perhaps may be styled "The
Externals " of preaching, shall have been
covered.
1t is not to be expected that all the
structures he may make, will be approved
by all his readers, or even by all whose
special benefit he may have in view.
There are some things in his Pulpit Man
ner from which I dissent. Yet in most
particulars, and perhaps in all to which
he would himself attach any Importance,
l fully concur with him, as I doubt not,
the large majority of his readers do.
He is, however, too much of cosmopoli-
tan in his mental training and habits,
whatever may be the place of his resi-
dence, to be surprised that others should
differ from him or to be deferred on that
account from the expression of his views.

Poets may sing of the blOssoming May,
Faint with the odour Of lily and thorn,
When greener the woods grow every day,
And the soft skies smile on a spring new born
Poets may sing of the golden June,
With its passionate rose under the arch
Of summer heaven in the sultry noon
But mine be a carol for windy March.
Windy March with its frohc gales,
Filling the woods with musical roar,
While over the sea seud wet white sails,
And the foam breaks fast on the rough lee
shore.
Wild free wind, from the far Southwest,
Come, freshen the lands which the summer
shall parch,
GLADDEN. our hearts with thy swift unrest
Wake the world to the music of March.

The Bankrupt Law.

An interesting case ia bankruptcy has been
decided by Judge BRYAN, of the U. s. Dis
trict Court, in Charleston. The Judge in
s.ructed the jury to find, that where note
was due and payment not resumed by the ma
kcr in fourteen days, he must be found an in
voluntary bankrupt; and the jury so found.
This is an important decision especially when
it IS remembered that no provision is made
for an appeal, under the bankrupt act, from
the decision of the court or jury, unless the
debt and damages of the petitioning creditor
exceeded five hundred dolare Any person
therefore, who is indebted in less sum tha,
five hundred dollars, and cannot resume pay
-,.s.o' Involuntary bankruptcy.

The Negro Bond Question.

Deep Interest attaches 70 the question Of
payment or nonpayment, of the many obliga
tons, bonds and notes, outstanding for slaves.
Public opinion, after skilful manipulation by
those interested, has pronounced strongly in
favor of their repudiatiou. Tho law, >towev,
sr, has, up to the present time, hecn III the
way Of this arrangement. e.
Recently, the Supreme Court Of the Stato
Of Georgia has decided that bonds, tho con-
sideration of which was slaves, must be en-.
forced. In this case, the slaves wore purchu-
sed before the war. Thus, we have tho high.
est judicial tribunals Of Georgia and Missis-
sippi deciding that such contracts are valid
aud binding, whilst the Supreme Court Of
Louisiana holds the adverse opinion The
decision of the chanccry circuit court, in this
State, is in accord with the opinions delivered
in Georgia and Mississippi
With the current of public opinion running
high against such contracts, it is favorable
time for their compromise and scttlcment-
Obligations Of all kinds should be ssttled on
fair and just terms now. Do not wait until
the State is again received into the ,UpioSa- =
Then, General Orders, No. l0,"" as IalI
to the ground-t food gate of seotion
laws be oponcd, and tho property of lie un-
fortunate debtor disappear under the shcrff $
hammer like mist before the morning SUM-
In this connection, VIC repeat what We have
heretofore recommended: that, where persons
are hopelcssly insovcnt, they should take the
benefit of the bankrupt law. The country
cannot prosper under tie present burden of
public and private Indebtedness, hence where
relief can be legally had it should be made
available. Taking advantage of the bankrupt
NV will not prevent any one from paying his
debts in the future, whilst it may relieve him
Of present insupportabe burdens
