injurious, we beg them to uproot It, our own
mind was in some doubt-we acknowledge tha1 as
to important particulars it has been renewed SIM
ply by Information. DIR. Baird expects, at our re.
quest to give as soon as obtained from Scotland,
information as to the plan adopted by the Free
Church, and to present other views bearing upon
the question of plan for our Church, should it be
thought proper for US to adopt one, formally or
informally.
Now word as to our excellent friend from Rock

tempted to laugh him out of court. We have no idea
our Scotch Irish friend, who is also life
long" one, so regarded what was mere pleasantly
in answer to pleasantly.
We find that our friend has moved down from the
stop of House Mountain since last week. He
will observe that our inquiry was as to the popula.
ton on the top" We have often been under
that mountain, and have tolerably correct idea
about the country, and know that in old times
father Davidson was kept busy in baptising chill,
dren and marrying young men and maidens-a
practice continued, we believe, by his successors.
But we regret to say tive never were on the top
of that celebrated peak at all. If our venerable
correspondent was residing there in 1902 it must
have been our father who visited it. But it is
natural for Scotch Irish having all this while
ga lodging place in such vast wilderness,

Funeral of Rev. T. W. Gilmer.
Charlottesville, Va, Apra 90

charlottesville, Va, Apru 9Th.
At 4! the Presbyterian church was thronged
with persons Of all denominations, whose solemn
and fearful demeanor expressed the grief that has
affected the whole community.
The services were conducted by Rev. DR.. Akin
son, Mr.. Gilmer' old captain; Rev. DR.. Dabney
his former instructor in the seminary; and Rev
L. Woods, the pastor of his mothers family
Dr. Dabney made the address, which was very
solemn and touching. The speaker was scarcely
able to control his own emotion sufficiently to en-
able him to conduct the service, and his grief met
with responsive echoes in the hearts of the multi
tude who were gathered for the burial of one whom
all delighted to love.
Rev. Dr. Handy, Rev. Dr. Smith, Rev. W. T.
Thompson, Rev. William Dinwiddie Rev. j. H.
Fitzgerald, Rev. S. L. Martin, and Rev. S. w.
Watkins, acted as pail bearers. The entire com.
munity of Charlottesville seemed to be represented,
and most of the professors of the University Of

RESOLUTIONS OF WEST HANOVER PREsBYTERY.

sion in the town of Charlottesville when the body
of the Rev. T. w. Gilmer. of East Hanover, late
licentate Of this Presbytery, was brought here
for interment; be it.
ReSolred, That the Presbytery of West Han
over has received the tidings of the death oil
Brother Gilmer with feelings of unfeigned sorrow
but they do not sorrow as those without hope.
Whilst they deplore the loss of the Church which
lays in the grave so much of consecrated zeal,
fidelity, and ability, they rejoice that the care Of
the Church is in the Masters heart and that He
has crowned with rest and glory his departed ser
want. Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord;
for they rest from their abors, and their works do
follow them.
"Resolced, That this Presbytery tenders its
sincere coincidence to the bereaved wife aud moth
err and family of our departed brother.
ReSolved, That the stated clerk is ordered to
furnish a copy of these resolutions to the widow
and mother of brother Gilmer, and that they be
published in the Central Presbyterian and in the
Christian Observer. "-DGpatch.

Wilmington Presbytery.

The first stated meeting of Wilmington Presby.
terry was held in Clinton April LIST, and was opened
with sermon by the Moderator appointed by
Synod, Rev. Colin Shaw. The Rev. J. NJ Sprunt
was chosen Moderator, and the Rev. S. G. Alex
ander and B. +. Grady were appointed temporary
clerks. A member of the Presbytery writing us
hasty note on Saturday afternoon says: "All the
ministers of the Presbytery are present, except
brother Singleton, with a good sprinkling of the
eldership. Our discussions have been interesting
and instructive. We have fine weather Clinton
is pretty little village, and the good people are
doing their very best to entertain US. 1t does one
good to the heart to be among a people who so
overflow with kindness and good feeling. Presby.
terry will adjourn this evening"
We learn that the Rev. Colin Shaw and DR..
Neil Graham were appointed commissioners to the
General Assembly at Mobile.
1t is gratifying to know that the first meeting of
this Presbytery passed off so pleasantly and prof.
taby. A great work lies before that body, in the
wide destitutions within its bouuds,-but energy,
skill and perseverance will accomplish great things

the rule by which profit and loss were to be cacu-
lated in any such companies, and especially That
the contingency upon which profits depends should
be the death of the partner. joint-stock COM
pany of faro dealers would hardly set up the claim
OF honest dealing because the profits and losses
were honestly divided. Now upon this contingent
cy of death depends the profit of the insurance
company. The contingency to be sure Is real
one, but it is an awful one to trade upon.
There is one other view of this subject upon
which hope to be able to write to you hereafter,
the mutual benefit feature of the scheme.

thing about getting my preachers life insured

FOR THE CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN.
Candidates for the Ministry.

PRESBYTERIAN COMMITTEE OF EDUCATION.
Dear Brother,-The General Assembly requires
the Executive Committee of Education not only to
give report concerning its own operations, but
also to secure information from all parts of the
Church of what has been done in furtherance OF
this cause, and to make full report OF the actual
state of this important interest among US, In con
nection with the statement Of its own proceedings
In order to get the details necessary to do this we
send this circular to all our ministers, with the
earnest request that each one will give prompt
answer to the following questions, viz
l. How many young men do you know Of within
the bounds of your Presbytory or elsewhere, who
nave the ministry in view? Give names and post.
office address.
q How many are now studying? What is the
state Of their advancement? Which are under
care Of Presbytery?
g. Have any Of these young brethren received
pecunary assistance? If so, how much and from
what source?
t. Do you know OF. any young brethren detained
from the School, College, or Seminary, for want
of the necessary means? Give names and post.
office address. IF so, what amount of assistance
would be requisite in each case?
5. What funds have been raised for educating
canulQaCeS, DeSlueS WnaU mas Deen given 10 Cnls
Committee? e8e
6. Which of your churches, if any, are able to
support candidate, if the appeal should be made
to them SO to do? T.
Information on the above points is not only very
important, in order to bring the whole subject be
fore the Church; but, aso to give this Committee
an understanding of the work before it, and the
nature of the claims likely to come against it dur
ing the ensuing year.
The past year has been one of decided progress.
About eighty students have been reported to US.
We have extended them aid to the amount of about
$4,000; but it will take from $1,000 to $4,000 to
enable US to finish the present ecclesiastical year.
IF any of our brethren failed at the proper time to
take up collection for this cause, we hope they will
now come 10 our relief; for not only will we need
this amount of 50 600 to finish our work this year
but heavy claims will press on the Committee dur
ing the months of August, September, and Octo
Der, at the opening of our Colleges and Seminaries
whereas the appointed time for the annual collec
ton for this object is the first Sabbath of Notem
Der. Unless aid comes to US from those churches
which, as yet have given nothing, or from other
unexpected sources, we fear many of our young
brethren will be embarrassed, and some of them
seriously interfered with, in their work of prepare
ton. By order of the Committee,
f. 7. BAIRD, Secretary of Education.

mission, and when we were few and feeble, our
beloved brother Byington having left lucrative
position in the law, enlisted as volunteer, under
the American Board, to come and labor among the
Choctaws with no other compensation than the
payment of his necessary expenses And he endured
unto the end. The last hour Of his life was conse-
Grated to his blessed Saviour And now in view OF all
that he was enabled to endure and to accomplish in
this benighted land for the cause Of truth and
righteousness, our deceased brother could he speak
to us, would say, Give God all the glory.
Let us rejoice and give thanks that God con-
verted our beloved brother in his youth, that he
inclined him to give up the pursuit of earthly gain
for the service of Christ, that he inclined him to
come to the Choctaws at time when his services
were so much needed, that he had grace and ability
given him to accomplish so much, that he endured
unto the end, and that he has now gone to receive
the reward of good and faithful servant.
