The Spring Presbyteries.
During the months of March and April the
forty-eight Presbyteries in connection with our
General Assembly will hold their spring SEES
sions. 1t is to be hoped that there viii be a
full attendance of ministers aud ruling elders
at these meetings.
The approaching meetings of the different
PreSbyteries will be characterised, of course,
by the usual routine work, without the doing
Of which our ecclesiastical organisation would
90 to pieces But there are extraordinary
duties to be performed by these bodies as
well The matters brought before them by
the last General Assembly will demand earnest
attention and wise action. The four impOr-
tant causes represented by the four Executive
Committees CT SustentatiOn, Foreign Missions,
Publication, and Education, will call for pray
erful consideration on the part of these lower
the consideration their great importance de-
serves, the neglect can never be made up by
the General Assembly Each PreSbytery, too,
has its own special field TO look after its va
cancieS to supply; its wastes to redeem; its
past remiSSlOnS 10 mourn over and dlSplace by
renewed zeal.
The PreSbyteTies, too, will, this spring, be
required to elect commissioners to the Assem-
bly,. On this point We wish to say word
which we trust will be taken in good part by
all concerned. Owing to the peculiar difficult
ties and dangers that surround our Church, 1t
is of the last importance for these bodies to
commission to the General Assembly such Of
their number as shall be distinguished by the
eminence Of their piety and the vigor Of their
practical wisdom. Their best men should be
sent whether their Turn" has come or not.
In ordinary times the principle of rotation
may be a good one, and ought perhaps TO be
observed. But now, and for some time to
come, this principle will have to be abandoned
for another: the principle Of supreme lore 10
the i7hOle Church without reference to indiyid
ual preferences or feelings. Men remarkable
for their ecclesiastical knowledge, distinguished
for their power to work with diSintereSted
reference to the glory of God, famed among
their brethren for their spiritual gifts, and
eminent for their mingled prudence and ag-
greSsive zeal, and SelfSacriheing spirit-these,
wherever they can be found, ought to be
chosen. We utter this advice with difhdenee,
but yet with earneStness We believe it to be
timely counsel; and especially in view of the
meet Assembly, which, seeing that it is to
meet in Baltimore, on the very uttermOst Dor
ders of the Church, ought to be composed of
our best material for many obvious reasons,
in addition to those given above
