Seymour and Conservative Repubi-
r cans.
That many thousand conservative re-
publicaus will vote for Seymour and Blair
st the coming presidential election is as
true as it is that the election day will
come. Every consistent conservative re-
publican statesman in the country is already
supporting Seymour and committed to
faithful labor for his success. If there are
any who affect to be conservative republi-
cans and yet decline to support Seymour,
because Chase was not nominated or for
any other reason, they are radicals at
heart and have no consciences which will
restrain them from the support o! every
infamous scheme characteristics Of radical
ism. The denocratics convention was not
called to nominate candidates for radicals
or for those who can tolerate radical mis-
government. On the contrary the conven-
ton was called as means of defeating
radicals and radical schemes, and of
restoring the government of the nation to
the hands of tried statesmen and honest
men. 1.-THE selection of Seymour will not
subserve that purpose then it is because
majority of the people prefer anarchy,
misrule and wanton taxation to national
order, constitutional government and econ
omical expenditures In such conflict as
this-a conflict which must end in victory
-tbe democracy want no doubtful sol
diers; no secret sympathizers with radical
ism no apologists Of military domination
no politicians whose principles are of such
doubtful import that they may be surren>
dered because of personal predictions or
past prAjudices. The fortunes of the
country now depend upon the men who
have positive views, clear brains, strong
hearts and an innate hostility to despotism
and public corruption-and such alone will
prove Of any use in the effort to save the
republic from its enemies. Milaodukce

Voluntary Missionary Work.

Now that the fall meetings of most of
our Presbyteries are over, it is interest
ing to notice the various appointments
to which our brethren of the ministry are
delegated for the next six months.
We have never favored, to any great
extent, this policy, and whenever We see
those ominous words cat discretion" We
generally feel that it amounts to very
nearly nothing at all.
All of us could accomplish a vast deal
more work than we do, if we were only
sufficiently alive to the momentous inter
ests at stake. And specially amid the
vast destitutions of this great and grow
ing section of our land, we have not a
moment to lose.
Let US, beloved brethren, grid our
selves anew for the work which opens up
before us in all its fearful proportions
give ourselves wholly to saving souls
occupy any position, perform any duty
which arises; most of all, look up suita
BILE places to preach Gods word, and
carry the glad tidings of salvation to the
very doors of the ignorant, the degraded
in short, do double duty on halt rations,
if God requires it of US, and the bright
reward which awaits us beyond the skies
will make up for all our losses while tab
ernacling in the flesh. 7. W. W.

Withdrawal of State Aid from Churches.

1t is curious to observe how this tidal
wave, tending to the Withdrawal Of State
aid from Churches, is sweeping over the
world. The Indian Government has Just
given ten thousand rupees for the repair
of st. Paul's Cathedral in Calcutta
Once oD time an incident like that
would have been allowed to pass without
remark. But various things seem tc
make the grant unpopular-this among
others, that the new bishop has turned
out to be even more Enthusiastically in
clined than the most suspicious feared he
would be. This is not all, however,
The natives are especially dissatisfied,
and with all the world, take up the cry
of establishment. The Hindu Pa
hiot thinks the Government might have
been better employed in considering how
the Church Establishment in India, like
that of Ireland, might be retrenched OF
abolished. "The bishop draws prince.
ly salary from our public revenue, and
its archdeacons and chaplains receive
112O and $50 rupees a month" The
Indian Daily News says: "This ten
thousand rupees donation to set st. Paul
Cathedral in order, long after less wealthy
congregations in Calcutta have repaired
their churches themselves, is an unsatis.
factory piece of business, considering
whence the money is derived. =.
Statesmen have been very careful not to
teach the Bible to Hindus and Moham.
medans in the State colleges, but have
not hesitated to make Hindus and Mo
hammedans help to pay for bishops, chap.
lains, and churches for Christians. The
present attitude of the Government in
reference to religious questions is SO often
at variance with consistency and justice,
that whatever may be the apparent ne.
cessity for Government to pay chaplains
serve in small Mofussil statiops, ths
the day is fast coming when thSinjustics
of an expensive State Church in thu
great Indian cities will have to be con

offer these to the most profane, as well
as to those who you know will receive
them. Little slips of paper are now pre-
pared by the Tract Societies to fit in en-
velopes and a package Of these will
cost something less than package Of
envelopes. Let me beg you to keep a
package of these along with your enve-
lopes, and never fail to slip one of them
into every letter you write, whether of
business or private character. If you
make this habit, you will never have
occasion to repent ofsit; it will very pro-
baby be the cause of salvation to many;
and it will rebound to your own sanctif-
cation.
In the cities, you have. observed how
men are perpetually on the lookout, to
take advantage of all the contingencies,
and to make money thereby. IF Chris
tians were half so ingenious to perform
every little good act, the world would
shortly be compelled to submit to the do
miuion of God, and would be enraptured
and astonished upon the contemplation
of consistencies of which it has hereto
fore known so little.
Goodnight. Remember me in your
prayers. May the peace of God, peace
with Himself, peace with your own con-
science, peace with all the world, ever
abide with you. The grace of our Lord
Jesus Christ be with you always.

For THE CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN
An Amusing Incident.

Two Highlandmen who had never
walked beyond the mountains that bound
ed their Highland home, came to Edn-
burgh in search of employment. As
they walked along the streets viewing
with wonder and astonishment the splen
did edifces that adorn that part of the
city which is called the New Town, they
observed several well-dressed persons en-
ter handsome and imposing structure
which they believed to be a Presbyte-
rian, but was really an Episcopal church.
They at once determined to join the
number, passed the sexton or door-keep-
er unobserved, and seated themselves in
a handsomely cushioned pew in a promi-
nent part of the church. Ere long, to
their unutterable surprise, the organ be-
gan to send forth its melodious sounds,
and at the-same time gentleman in a
white gown entered the pulpit. As moth
ing around them had the slightest re,
semblance to any thing they had seen be
fore in place of worship, they became
convinced that they must have entered
place of amusement. While they were
thus meditating, gentleman and lady
of no ordinary Importance presented
themselves before the pew, the former
making signs to the strangers to with
draw, which were not needed by them.
The aid of the sexton was then invited );
but no sooner had he entered the pew
and proceeded to take the man next to
him by the arm to lead him gently out
of the seat, than pointing to his COM
rade, he exclaimed in tone loud enough
to be heard by all, "Tak Donald he's
better dancer
The sequel need scarcely be told.
The intruders were unceremoniously
elected from the pew, and wandering
down the aisle into the subjected street,
through Eden (burgh) took their solitary
way.

Its F" in the Bible.

Whitney in his late work, Language
and the study of Languages" (pages
20, 3O,) says: "When our Bible trans
lation was made, but two centuries and
a half ago, the English language con-
tanned no such word as its. HIS had
been, in the old Anglo-Saxon and ever
since, the common possessive of he and
it-(A. S., hit,) it belonged to the latter
no less than to the former. 4 *
And at the present time few of us
read our Bibles so carefully as to have
discovered that they contain no such
word as Its, from Genesis to Revela-
tions."
This is the common statement on the
subject but We have examined great
many English Bibles-those very old,
printed at the University press in Eng
land, those published by the American
Bible Society in New York, and those
issued by various other publishing houses
in the country-and invariably we find
in Leviticus XIV: 5, "that which grow
eth of Its own accord of thy harvest,
&C.; and in no other passage do we find
it, in the common English Bibles.
We have also what we term to be the
German translation into English, of
which the title page and first eight chap
ters of Genesis are missing, but that Of
the New Testament is retained; from
which we learn that it was {" translated
out of Greak by Theodore Beza, English
ed by L. Thompson. Imprinted at Lon
don by Robert Barker, printer to the
Kings most excellent Majesty, 1916"
In this the above passage reads: THAT
which groweth of it owne accorde of thy
harvest" &c.
Now we inquire if ats, in this one in
stance, was not inserted in King James
translation of 1911, how did 1t get into
subsequent editions? We have found it,
as above stated, in some very old Eng
lish editions, and we should like to have
all the earliest copies in the country ex-
amined, and compared in this verse, that
We may know how this singular example
of the use of its in our common Bibles
originated.

methods employed to supply the want Of
this pronoun in the two English transla.
tions. In our common Bibles it reads
"And he shall be like tree planted by
the rivers of water, that bringing forth
his fruit in his season; has leaf also shall
not wither," &c.
In the German: "For he shall be lik,
a tree planted by the river of waters
that will bring forth her fruits in du'

What a Useless Life I Lead !

With mournful tone this was uttered
by one of the hamblest and best Chris
tians we ever knew. She believed this
but she was mistaken. She was Grip
pie, and had been so from childhood
Condemned to a fixed position, and see
ing others going about on their mission
of love and good works, she sighed and
thought, what poor, useless being !
am But no; God had assigned to her
a lot which she had accepted, with resig-
nation TO His will; aud all who saw her,
and marked the sweet, submissive spirit
with which she bore her trial, were
struck with the power and excellency Of
that faith which could say, "Thy will
be done" A look at her, and look
from her, was sermon. She was doing
good by the passive virtues of religion
which put submission as the central gem
IN lCS ulaueu.
Her vocation in the service of Christ
was not to 90 from house to house with
the tract and the Bible. 1t was not to
attend prayer meetings and other social
gatherings for the advancement of reli-
gion. But to suffer Gods will-to medi.
tate-to pray in secret-to show to al
that if the world were cut off, she could
still sit at the feet of Jesus.
But this WASH t all. In that quiet Sc
clusion she kept her fingers going in
work for Christs poor She had WORD
of encouragement for the disconsolate
who called upon her. She even became
an agent for the circulation of religi-
Gus paper. Useless No, not she.-
We wish all our readers were at work
for Christ as this dear invalid is. How
the Church would brig ghten if such were
the case Our duties are modified by
our circumstances. If vigorous and well
We must go about doing good; if nailed
to the sick couch, then aud there let ouI
religion show its power to sustain, as be-
fore it did to impel our zeal and good
works.

From the Banner of Peace.
That Dollar, and the Letter.

An unknown lady sends to the Board
of Missions one dollar, inclosed in the
following note:
"This was sent by a needy minister of
the gospel, to assist in procuring medi-
cine and comforts for my dear husband ;
but it came too late. He is now. provided
for by his dear Saviour.
Il send it to you, hoping and praying
that it may yet do good"
That dollar and the letter have awak-
ened reflections which / will endeavor to
embody in an article for the Banner,
hoping that it, too, may do some good.
Here is lady, evidently in INDECENT
circumstances, who has just buried her
beloved husband. A needy minister of
the gospel, not having heard of the death
of her husband, sends her a dollar to
purchase medicines for him. "But it
came too late" The sick husband has
gone to his rest, as we trust.
The thought arises as to what she
shall do with that dollar. 1t is the con-
tribution of NEEDY minister" to pro
cure relief and comfort to dying hus-
band. 1t is too sacred to be applied to
any secular purpose.
Though needy, she could not think Of
procuring food or apparel with money
contributed to allay the sufferings of her
dying husband. AS it came too late for
that, it must be applied to some holy
purpose. What shall it be? She decides
to send it to the Board of Missions, that
it may aid in ministering the word of life
to perishing souls.
Was not that a judicous decision?-
Could you conceive of any disposition
more appropriate? There is delicacy
aud fitness in the disposition of thai
dollar that reveals the mind and heart
of refined Christian lady.
But there is another view of the sub
iect. What a terrible rebuke does thai
dollar, or rather the unselfsh and deli
cate act of the good lady, administer tc
the selfish, money-loving church-mem
Der, who boards up his dollars by the
thousand, or invests them with the view
of gaining other thousands, and ye
never thinks of contributing even a dol
lar to the sacred cause of Missions 2
And even when an appeal is made, ht
clutches his dollars, and pleads poverty
with a countenance that convicts him O.
"a want of candor.
Does such a church-member believ,
in his heart that he has an Inheritance il
heaven. worth more to him than all thu
gold of India, Peru, and California p
Impossible! Either he has no abiding
controlling hope of heaven, or then, hi
ideas of heaven are low and grovelling
If he had just views upon the subject
and having means, he could not resist th'
calls of the Church, and especially th'
urgent demand for means to sustain ou
self-denying missionaries in their nobl
work, and still cling with death-grasl
to his gold!
But this dollar of the bereaved widow
speaks with trumpet-voice to the trul,
pious members of the Church. She ha'
just suffered the greatest calamity com
mon to the race-the loss of her husban

The Apostle slept light shone in the prison ;
An angel touched his side;
''Arise,'' he said; and quickly he hath risen,
His fettered arms united.
The watchers saw no light at midnight cleaning
They heard no sound of feet;
The gates fly open, and the saint, still dreaming,
Stands tree upon the street
So, when the Christian eyelid droops and closes
In natures parting strife,
A friendly angel stands where he reposes,
To wake him up to life
He gives a gentle blow, aud so releases
The spirit from its clay;
From sins temptations aud from hfe's distresses
He bids it come away.

And feels its freedom in the large expansion

For it has reached the city OF the sanity

A voice is heard on earth of kinsfolk weeping
The loss of one they love;
But he has gone where the redeemed are keeping
A festival above.
