TEXTS FOR THE TIMES.

God is our refuge and strength, very pre-
sent help in trouble.
Cast thy burden upon the Lord and He shall
sustain thee.
Trust in the Lord and do good.
Be careful (anzious) for nothing, but in
every thing, by prayer and supplication with
thanksgiving, let your requests be made known
unto God; and the peace of God, which pass
eth all understanding shall keep your hearts
and minds through Jesus Christ.
The Kings heart is in the hand of the Lord,
as the rivers of water; he turneth it whittier
soever He will
Think it not strange concerning the fiery
trial which is to try you as though some strange
thing happened unto you.
Whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth.
Like as afather pitieth his children, so the
Lord pitieth them that fear Him.
l have been young and now am l old, yet
have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his
seed begging bread

For THE CENTRAL PREsBYTERIAS.
Missions of East Hanover Presbytery.

The Presbytery of East Hanover at its last
meeting, directed all its churches to take two
collections during the year, for missionary APP
preparation within its bounds. The Treasurer
of its Missionary Committee has received
scarce any returns at all, and near the close OF
a quarter finds himself with about $50 in his
hands, and all his Spring disbursements yet to
be made. We beg the pastors to call immedi-
ate attention to these facts. and trust that one
collection at least, will be made in each church
before the Presbytery convenes, and that we
may not have to disappoint the churches who
have our promise to aid in their support.
These churches themselves are particularly
urged to attend to the order of Presbytery and
to communicate the result so early as to help
in the April payments.
We have increased the number Of churches
on our list, and are determined not to diminish
the amount furnished to each if the utmost
exertion on our part can be successful in secu-
ring it. JOHN MILLER, Chairman.

Death of Mrs. Rice.-On Tuesday, the 5th
instant, Mrs. Anne S. Rice, the widow of DR..
John II. Rice, departed this life at Union
Theological Seminary, Virginia, in the SD
year of her age. She had been sick short
time. A letter from one of the Theological
students announcing her death, says" She
passed away as gently as a sleeping infant,
without struggle / do not think she was
aware how near death was. She had just
taken some nourishment, when she reclined on
the pillow, and almost Immediately expired. :"
A full obituary notice is in preparation by
Rev. DR.. Smith, and will appear next week
We shall therefore withhold much of what
might otherwise be appropriately uttered now.
The departure of one so long and widely
known, so useful in the Church and so much
loved, will awaken tender emotions in very
many hearts beyond the large circle of her own
immediate kindred. In looking over her life
they will probably all think at once, and CRATE
| fully, of the uncommon goodness Of God to
her in the land Of the living. 1t would not be
easy to find an instance where so much wa:
combined to make happy lot here below
Her own family connections, her marriage, anG
her associations Nom the beginning to the end o.
her days, were all with the excellent of the earth
She had in these a treasure such as few art
permitted to call their own. In addition to thi
she was most happily prepared by her natura
constitution, as well as by the refining powe
of divine grace to "taste these gifts with joy. ,
She seemed indeed to be always walking in thu
sun shine, happy in her own heart and trying
her best to make others happy also.
1t is generally known that her great-heartet
husband felt that the exigencies of the Church
were such at the time, as to call him to sacri
fee most of the little worldly substance the!
had But neither before nor after his deatl
lin 1881 was either permitted to want. Mrs
Rice was cheerful, happy, busy and useful t.
the very last, and deserves an honored plac
among the honorable women not few, " who's
faith and good works have always abounded IL
history to adorn and bless the Church.
But we must not anticipate what may NOR
appropriately come from one who knew thi
venerable and "eect lady" so well, and VIII
is every way better qualified to set before us
suitable memorial Of her great worth.

saws. Not one of the Essays defends the err
rors of these brethren. Every one OF them
defends, or was designed to defend, their lnde-
feasible riqhtS, and through them the rights OF
every minister and member of our communion.
IF the seventh does this more effectively than
the others all the better for the cause of truth
and righteousness. ~ 1t is novel idea, that
the animuS of Legislative or Judicial body
is not legitimate topic of argument in dis
cussing its acts. The files of the Presbyterian
will show that it has never hesitated to "anl-
madvert" alike upon the acts and the spirit
of the General Assembly, whenever in its
