How It Seems.

A subscriber in sending money Tor the Adj
rocote. amends to letter on business, the fol
lowing rote:
II am surprised that any taking religious
paper should neglect to pay for years; as you
say they do l suppose nearly all WIN take
the Advocate are professors OF religion, and It
does seem to me that their profession would
REQUIRE them to be honest. am not pro-
lessor of religion myself, but my regard tor
honesty requires me to pay Tor my secular
reading even, much more ion my religious
reading"
II is true. as we stated few weeks ago, that
we have some subscribers who are consldera'
bly in arrears. We do not, however, suppose
that there j. a want of honesty IN every such
case. Occasionally sickness and death come TO
families unexpectedly; the expenses OF the
family are greatly increased, and there Is an
inability to meet the bills as they become due,
but they fully intend to do so at some future
time. There are others, but who are aban-
dainty able to pay, intend to pay, and will pay
our bill and Others, but they are negligent,
perhaps wait for some one to present bill In
person before they settle it. Possibly there
are Others who are not aware that they are so
delinquent until bill is sent, and then they
persuade themselves that there must be some
mistake. They do not mean to be dishonest.
But after deducting these classes, there is
quite large class left, for whom charity does
not furnish us with so ready or so reasonable
an excuse. The longer we publish paper.
the more firmly settled we are in our opinion,
that the best method is to pay for paper in
advance. There is no way in which larger
per cent. can be obtained for the money paid ;
and the satisfaction and profit derived from
reading paper which is paid for, are much
greater than from one which reminds the read
'er habitually that he is in debt for it.-Zion' S

UNION OF PAPERS.

Our two Presbyterian papers at Columbia,
s. c., and Mobile, Ala, have been united,
and will hereafter be published under the title.
The Southern Presbyterian and Presbyterian
Iader," The last Southern Presbyterian in
giving full announcement of the change,
says:
1.-The paper will be under the control of the
proprietor of the Southern Presbyterian, and
he will continue to enjoy the assistance of those
to whom that paper has owed its chief value,
both in its editorial columns and in the origi
nal articles which have appeared as communi.
cations Besides, he expects hereafter to have
the aid of large proportion Of those who have
written for the Iadec By this means, he
hopes to make the Presbyterian and Indec
more acceptable and useful to its readers than
either Presbyterian or Lnder has been by it.
self
BY the terms of agreement, subscribers who
have paid in advance will receive the PreSby-
terrain and Iader for the time for which they
have paid In cases where payment has been
made for both, corresponding credit will be
given.
All debts due the Presbyterian Lnder are to
be paid to this office.
Our brethren of the South and South west
are quite as competent as any Others to decide,
without the paternal advice of distant journals,
what arrangements are suitable for their own
interests. If, therefore, they should deem it
best to establish three or four papers, while
our judgment might not approve the measure.
we should have nothing to say in the line of
criticism, simply because it is none of our
business. If on the other hand, they choose
to combine two or more into one, under the
conviction that in union there will be more
strength, that by concentration they can act
with more efficiency, we have not word to
say, except to rejoice in it. Taking for grant
ed, then, that this measure is one agreed upon
after mature deberation, and is satisfactory
to those who have the right to adjust it ac
cording to their own views, we wish it all pros
perity and usefulness.
1t is certain that the number of newspapers
in our Southern Presbyterian Church is far
greater in proportion to the number of its
members, than in any other in our country.
They are more than can be thoroughly sup
ported Wherever therefore, a combination
can be comfortably and udiciousy effected, it
should be viewed with satisfaction by all other
journals, and with jealousy by none

A MOST SERIOUS MATTER.

In the deeply.interesting circular letter of
Dr. Wilson, in this paper, will be found the
following statement:
"Our first and most urgent duty is the
sustentation of our numerous feeble churches,
scattered in every direction in our widely
extended territory la consequence Of the
heavy drain already made upon our minis
terial force, Presbyteries have found it neces-
Sary to unite two or more of these feeble
churches under one pastorate and in some
cases much larger number have been placed
under the care of single evangelist This
process has already been carried as far as is
compatible with the safety and spiritual vel
fare of these churches and yet the evil has
been only partially remeded
Now, let two facts be taken in connection
with this. One is that the Presbytery of
Concord N. c., reports that during the past
year it put into the general treasury for sus-
tentation 5000, and drew out 81, 900 This is
by far the largest Presbytery in our whole
connection, having AZ minister's 60 churches,
and 6, SAG members. 1t occupies magni6-
cent territory, exceedingly rich in agricultural
wealth, and one almost unvisited by the raw
ages of the war.
The other fact relates, we regret to say, to
our own Presbytery-East Hanover. The
statement published last week by the Chair
man of the Committee of Domestic Missions,
was that during the past year I'VE have drawn
from the general treasury over third more
than we contributed to it" This Presbvtery
has 2S ministers, "a churches, 2, 500 members
1t includes the three largest cities in the
State.
These facts are humiliating enough. 1t is
to be hoped no other Presbyteries present so
bad a case, though there is reason to fear
there may be some. Let those mentioned
suggest few remarks for serious reflection.
l. Such instances, if continued, must soon
completely ruin the whole Sustentaton
scheme. The strong ought to help the weak
What is to become OF the cause when two of
the strongest Presbyteries are actually a
heavy charge upon the treasury?
2. Ought not these Presbyteries to re-exam
inc their Domestic Missionary scheme? If
they are to continue at this poor, dying
rate drawing out so much more than they
put thought they not-painful as may be the
uecessity-either to contract their operations,
or, if this is not advisable, to combine more
of them under one ministerial charge?
This subject, in the aspect presented, is dis
tressing to every one of us, but it may be on
that very account the more necessary to look
it fully in the face. Will some of our pastors
take it up, and by their wise counsels bring
help to a suffering cause?

PASTORAL RELATION DISSOLVED.


At a special meeting of the Presbytery of
East Hanover, held in Richmond on the 2Sth
instant, the pastoral relation between the Rev.
p. B. Price and the 3rd Presbyterian church.
was dissolved, upon the request Of the pastor,
and with the consent Of the congregation.
The following resolutions adopted upon the
motion of Rev. DR.. Hoge, express the feelings
OF the Presbytery towards both parties:
THE pastoral relation between the Rev. p
Is. Price and the Third Presbytery church
having been dissolved East Hanover Presby
terry takes this occasion to express its sympa-
thy with the church now deprived of the ser
vices of pastor so faithful, Jealous, and be-
loved, and to assure the church thus bereft, of
the undated interest Presbytery feels in all
that pertains to Its future welfare and in
crease.
"The Rev. Philip B. Price having pre-
sented an application for dismission from the
Presbytery of East Hanover to join the Pres
bytery of Montgomery, this Presbytery hereby
orders his request to be granted.
1.-The Presbytery of East Hanover, so lately
bereaved by the removal of beloved minister
to a distant field renews its grief at the sepa-
IdtiUu lIOlu UDC WIZ Has tuuCuitu ulDSeil w
all hearts by his gentle and courteous bearing,
and by the spirit of Christian meekness and
love so uniformly manifested in his private
aud official intercourse with his brethren.
'Presbytery also takes this occasion to ex-
press its high appreciation Of the fidelity with
which Mr. Price has discharged the duties OF
Stated Clerk since the spring of 1867, and OF
the untiring interest and zeal he has manifested
~, OFF IN aAuanaa tho tipuHnrn M
Christ through the extension of our own
Church since his first ceEnexion with this body.
"And now in partineswi-h him. we cordially
commend him not only to the Presbytery to
which he is dismissed but to the Great Head
of the Church, praying that grace, mercy, and
peace may rest upon him, making his life
happy and his ministry abundanty useful IN
the new field of labor to which the Providence
of God calls him"
Remarks were offered by members OF the
Presbytery which were we'll suited to encour
age the congregation in the circumstances un-
der which they are placed, and which indicated
the confidence and warm affection cherished
towards brother Price His service here has
been during five years Of hard trial to the Sd
church. 1t has been service Of good success
and of inestimable value to that people and
now, while the relation is dissolved, the bands
of brotherly love remain unbroken.
Mr.. Price will probably accepts call from the
church of High Bridge, Rockbridge county,
Va. That church will find in him faithful
devoted pastor, and the Presbytery Of Mont
gomery beloved associate prudent coun.
sellor and an efficient CO. Presbyter

SUSTENTATION.

Two communications on this subject from
Chairmen of Presbyterial Committees were
published last. The circular of the Secretary
of the General Assembly, the Rev. j. Leigh
ton Wilson, d, D., came to hand too late fol
the paper of last week, but is printed this
week, and it is hoped will reach most of our
readers before the first Sabbath in January
the time appointed for the collection in our
churches.
If the motives presented in this circular fail
of securing a contribution, no words of ours
could effect anything. Let all give as the
Lord enables, and this cause is safe. But of
all the powers and hosts that have assaulted
the Church heretofore, none have so para
lyzed and made havoc of it, as the vast army
commanded and so wonderfully drilled by

&c, which was approved by Pres bytery, and
having before heard and approved the other
parts of trial assigned him, Presbytery licensed
him to preach the Gospel as probationer for
