First Presbyterian Church, Richmond.

The Rev. DR.. Moore closed on last Sabbath
his long, useful, and honored ministry among
the people of this congregation. In the
morning the sermon was specially suited to
protesting Christians. At night the house
was still more densely crowded, not only in
the galleries but in the aisles also, which were
filled with seats brought from the Lecture.
room. The sermon was striking, faithful,
and tender appeal to impenitent persons
founded upon those solemn words of our Sa
viour to the Jews: 1.-The men OF Nineveh shall
rise up in the judgment with this generation
and shall condemn it, &C.
At the close of the service, DR.. Hoge, after
few words appropriate to the occasion, pro-
posed to the congregation that they should
unite in special prayer for departing pastor
who had, through so many years, and amiG
so many varied scenes, prayed for them. The
prayer he offered gave expression, no doubt
to the feelings of the assembly, which were
manifestly deeply stirred by all the services o.
the evening.
If it is hard to sever ties so precious, let u
bless God for that union in Christ under which
they are formed. fla pastor feels it his duty
to leave his flock, blessed is his lot when hi
leaves behind a record of his fidelity in the
hearts of the people, and departs amid the
! tears and the benedictions of his Christian
,, brethren, and with the high respect of the
I whole community.

our work within home limits, when the
Masters commission is to the whole world,
would soon suffocate any Church. There
is, perhaps, nothing in our history, moth
ing in our present condition or in our
prospects so encouraging as the high and
holy purpose leading these dear brethren
to unfurl the banner of the Cross for the
Southern Presbyterian Church in South
America, and among hundreds of mil
lions of dying men in China and Japan.
1t was the voice of faith in Jesus that
raised the question for the ear of the
Church" Cannot, and will not He who
by his Spirit moved the eight to 60 to
pagan lands, raise up others for the work
at homer" Surely this was the right
view. And what have we been witness
ing since? Let the wonderful, delight
full facts mentioned at the beginning OF
this article be the answer. Every Chris
tan should welcome these facts with tears
of grateful JOY. Let US accept them as
tokens of covenant love-as pledge
that we are not forsaken of God-but
that he is with us of truth, and means to
give us name and work in the up.

BLESSED be God, vho hath not turned

But now that we find the prayers o
Gods people so graciously answered.
now that so many are coming forward
and saying-"We desire, if judged wor

the ministry, what shall our Church
say to such fact as this? What are thu
obligations under which We are brough
by this state of things? .How are thes'
brethren to be sustained, or helped, as tal
as help mag be neededg Just there is 1
question, most weighty and solemn, which
must be pressed upon the hearts and con
sciences of Gods people. Let it be hell
in reserve for our next consideration.

The Change in Spain.

The revolution in Spain, no matter what
form of government may be finally adopted
there, does much for the general interests of
the race 1t benefits civil interests. 1t has
laid bare the denominations of what the leading
organs of Romanism have been eulogiziug as
the best government on earth, and will be a
lesson from which all nations may learn the
dangers and disabilities suffered under any
government administered by the inspiration
and in the interest of Rome, as Spain has
been for centuries.
But the chief good to the world, from this
revolution, is religious. 1t breaks down the
the good seed of evangelical religion. The
great cumberers of the ground are to great
extent, rooted out The Jesuits are banished;
and even ordinary monks and nuns are reduced

the faith which is best in his own eyes. You,
gentlemen, may return to your country by the
first steamer; and you are at liberty to enter
Spain with your Bibles under your arm, to
preach its doctrines.
Under these assurances not only the e..iled
Jews are preparing to return, but exiled
Christians who had been driven out because
of the love Of Bible truth and their devotion
to Bible religion. At the same time, Chris

already busily engaged are the Protestants now

Protestant fellow countrymen are not likely to

tors of Bibles and tracts have already begun
their operations in the large cities, and yester

readiness to give a comfortable support.

harmony and good feeling prevailed. Among
the items Of business transacted, we notice
two or three, leaving the synopsis to be pre-
pared for our columns by the Stated Clerk, to
present the whole more in detail.
STATE OF RELIGION.
The free conversation on the state of reli-
gion indicated more than common interest on
this vital subject in the congregations. Seve-
raj of the churches have had. during the fall,
quite large accesssions, the attendance uron
the preached word was reported as good, Sab
bath Schools exist and receive cOmmendable
share OF attention in most OF the cOngrega
tons, the churches contributing to the various
obj ects OF benev0lence are increasing In num-
Der, and the general aspect of the religious
condition OF the churches is improving.
EDUCATION.
The discussion that arose upon the seminar
nual report of the Committee of Education
was one of the most interesting that we have
ever had the good fortune to hear. The facts
stated in the report, in regard to the meagre
contributions to the churches compared with
the number of candidates needing assistance,
we're well calculated to excite interest and to
elicit discussion. God has imposed great
work upon the Presbytery 10 this matter, that
has not been met as it should have BEEN
But it is hoped and believed that the future
will exhibit results that will cause us all to re.
joice. We must have ministers, and ministers
too that are educsted and trained for their
work. And the ckurch-our Christian people
must furnish the means for their education
and training
The discussion on this subject was protracted
through nearly the whole morning session of
Tuesday, and maintained its interest to the last.
DIVISION OF THE PREsBYTERY.
An overture was adopted asking the Synod
at its approaching session, to constitute new
Presbytery Dat Of part Of the territory at
present embraced in the Presbytery of Fay.
esteville The line Of division proposed
commences at the South Carolina line with
the western extremity of Columbus county;
thence northward, SO as to embrace in the new
Presbytery Bladen and Sampson counties to
the line Of Orange Presbytery; and thence to
the Ocean. 1t is proposed that the territory
cut off shall constitute the Presbytery of Will
mingtOn.
This measure is one that has been discussed
more or less for years past The universal
conviction of the ministers and churches in
the territory cut off, seemed to be that, if
erected into a separate Presbytery. they could
work more efficiently, and could bring agencies
to bear to occupy the large destitutions of that
region, that could not otherwise be used
The discussion was not protracted, but was
conducted in the klndest and most fraternal
feeling. And when the vote was taken, the
measure was carried almost unanimously.
May the glory of God and the welfare of our
beloved Church be the result should the Synod
respond favorably to the overture.
NEXT PLACE OF MEETING.
The next stated meeting of Presbytery will
be held at Laurel Hill church, on Thursday
before the second Sabbath in April, 1869.

A TREATISE ON PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE
By Mr.. j. e. Dalton. New York: Harper
q Brothers. 1868
There is no good reason why physiology and
a great deal about the science of medicine
should not be made interesting to the general
reader. This has been in part well done in
the book before us. 1t begins with the gene
raj structure of the human frame, then treats
of food and its ingredients and the different
modes of preparing it, OF digestion, absorp-
ton, the liver and It's functions, of the blood,
respiration and the circulation, &c. &c.
In short We have comprehensive treatise
on physiology and hygiene. 1t is well bound
and amply illustrated with cuts
