For THE CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN.
CHURCH FINANCES.

The attentive reader of the religious peri
odicals and the proceedings of ecclesiastical
bodies for the last two or three years has
not failed to observe, that this subject of
Church Finances has been more thoughtful
ly considered, ard more earnestly discussed
than at any previous time in this country.
The impoverished and straitened condition
of the Southern people has affected the pc
cuniary resources of the Church, more per-
haps than any other department of business.
The support of the ministry, and the con.
tributions to the various benevolent enter
prises of the Church have been greatly
curtailed, and the question has been forced
upon the officers of the Church, "What
shall be done "
In seeking an answer to this question,
pious minds have naturally turned ''to the
law and to the testimony" "The law of
the Lord is perfect" )" "Through thy precepts
I get understanding"
He, who takes "the lamp" of Gods word
to give him light on this question, is not
long in discovering that the adequate means
for the support and growth of the Church
are not measured by the worldly prosperity
of its members; but that Divine grace and
Providence can enable "the abundance of
deep poverty to abound to the riches of
Hberality;" that God does not send his peo-
pie "a warfare any time at their own
charges" that he never creates demand
when he does not place the means of supply
within the reach of the hand of diligence,
and the grasp of faith. Hence the straitened
state of our Church enterprises does not
arise from the poverty of Gods people.
1t is a well aScertained fact that large
portion of protesting Christians give nothing,
or almost nothing to the support of the gos-
pei in any form. Stringent injunctions have
been passed in our ecclesiastical courts, and
urgent appeals made by the managers of our
benevolent enterprises to induce Christians
to supply the treasury of the Lord with the
means to carry on the Lords work. Con-
gregatiOns have been urged to adopt the
Scriptural plan of weekly collections; much
has been said of "the power of the Titles.
Though these ecclesiastical injunctions
and official appeals have been frequently re.
Iterated, the effect has been very limited,
the Improvement very partial. The great
bulk of protesting Christians seem not to be
moved. The complaint still is, that large
portion of our ministers are greatly hindered
in their work, because of worldly cares and
labors forced upon them; and our Church
enterprises are straitened from want of

Blessedness of Trusting in God.

O, the blessedness of that man who has
been enabled to realize the most entire con-
viction-and that not as theory, but as a
practical truth-that God doeth all things
well, and that his work is perfect The grind
ing and low cares of this life have no place
with him. He knows that his affairs are
guided by One who cannot err-that he is
watched over for good by One who is never
weary. Human friends may weary of him
and shake him off, if he becomes troublesome
by his wants, but he heeds it little-his God
invites, solicits, is gratifed by the entireness
of his dependence, and by the full and un-
divided burden OF his cares.
Strange it is that we are so slow to claim
the rights thus given us, and which we ought
to regard as inestimable privileges. Yet
how few are known to any of us, who do
truly realize the many promises and graci
GUS invitations to do that which can alone
make this life tolerable.

was wOmanly kindness, Christian sympathy,
and generous hospitality, with great respect
for the institutions and ordinances of the
gospel.
Often have sat at the evening party for
tea, collected at her invitation, among trou-
bled and enquiring souls, with whose cases
she had become acquainted. There was no
parade, all was simple, social, and cheerful.
AT the proper time she would propose to the
missionary some question in which she knew
her company felt deepinterest. Itmightb
passage of Scripture which she requested
him to explain; or some doctrines whic} he
was requested to show from Scripture was
true or false; or some practice of professors
Of religion, which he was requested to yiDdi-
cate or condemn by the teaching ofxIhe
Bible. Thus many happy evening Jas
spent in conversation, useful and edifNDg.
The ignorant were instructed in dpe
things, the enquiring were led to know
ledge of themselves as guilty, miserable,
and helpless sinners, and Jesus was recon-
mended to them as a suitable, precious, and
only Saviour. In this way the missionary
became known to the awakened sinners and
they to him; and a pleasant and profitable
intimacy commenced, which resulted in the
organization of the church in Fredericks-
burg.
The writer has been often reminded of
that wise and wonderful Providence that
raises up instruments, and orders events to
accomplish his gracious purposes. Rahab
was prepared and disposed to receive and
protect the spies of the Jews sent to Jericho.
Naomi was driven from Judea by famine to
the land of Moab. Then urged to return by
the death of her husband and her two sons
that she might bring Ruth to the knowledge
of the true God, and happy union with his
chosen people. Phebe, the deaconess, Pri-
scilla and others were helpers and succorers
of the Apostle Paul. So we find in these
latter days, and in this Western world, God
calls from the bosom of his Church, and
sends to place where piety was nearly ex-
tinct, one of his dear children, and prepared
her to become the instrument to aid his mis-
siOnary in laying the foundation of new
church, and reviving the cause of religion
in other denominations, where with increas-
ing power it continues to the present day.
Declining health soon removed this ex-
cellent woman to a distance from the church
in whose origin and prosperity she took so
deep an interest. In the cemetery of the
church at Fredericksburg, there is no marble
monument on which the name of the beloved
Ellen Mark is inscribed. But her memorial
is written in Gods book of remembrance
With rapturOus JOY, it is believed, she has
been hailed by many in the heavenly world,
who were led by her to the Saviour of sin
ners. And should the writer of this brief
sketch arrive at that heavenly place (as he
hopes to do,) he expects to join this mother
in Israel, with all the saints, in giving glory
to the Lamb who redeemed US with his pre-
cious blood. S. B. W.

May he who hung the worlds on high,
'Twixt me and thee,
With His Omniscient, sleepless eye,
A watcher be.

Nor time, nor space,
Avoids His presence, or restrains
His wond'rous grace.
With Him an ever present here
And now abides,
No inch of time yon distant sphere,
And this divides.
He rules-His high and sovereign will,
No chance withstands;
He speaks-and rolling worlds are still
At His commands.
EneOmpassed by His mighty arm,
His people rest,
Secure from every fear and harm,
Supremely blest.

To guide the way,
That leads by faith, and not by sight,
To realms of day.

To trust his grace,
And conseerate our all Of life,
To seek his face.

Though separate now, we meet again,
In hope and JOY.

Bates History Again.

The radicals in the Legislature Lave dis
covered that when they authorized Bates to
write history of the Pennsylvania Volun-
teers they contracted for full grown ele-
plant. and are now sorely perplexed to know
what to do with it. If they supposed, when
they first appropriated twenty-five hundred
dollars to Bates. that that amount would
finish the job, Bates himself took a very
different view of the question, and having
written volume of thirteen hundred pages,
what was more natural than that Bates
should give it to the printer and the book
binder. Having once waded into the stream
Bates shrewdly suspected that under his
pilotage they would advance to the opposite
shore. The following debate on this knotty
subject took place in the Senate on the Goth
of January:
The Committee on Conference through Mr..
Connell, reported that they had settled the diff
ferences between the two houses on the ques-
ton, of ordering copies of Bates History of
the Volunteers and reported in favor of direct
ing the State Printer to furnish 500 copies to
the Senate $500 to the House; 400 to the
Governor 100 to the State Library, and 5U to
each of the chief clerks of the Legislature, for
the officers of the two branches.
Mr.. Fisher thought the matte -Aouiu iloI oe
considered until Mr.. nl--sUeaos TesoluVoh OF
yostardav (relo4;' e TO the price to be paid, ma
iinr IL che contract rates), was passed. This
History would entail an enormous expense on
the State, and he regretted that he had last
year voted for any appropriation to it.
Mr.. Connell said the book had been already
printed.
Mr.. Davis asked by whose order.
Mr. Connell said he did not know, but the
printing expense had already been incurred.
Mr. White said he was anxious to have the
record of our soldiers published, but to be true
to its determination to practice economy. the
Senate should not approve of this great expen-
diture, without great consideration.
Mr.. Davis asked who assu ned the RESPONSE
bilty of ordering books to be printed without
the knowledge of the Legislature.
Mr.. Wallace said the book was an outrage
upon the people, and so far as the printing of
it was concerned, if the Legislature did not or
der it, they should not be called on to shoulder
the loss.
Mr.. Coleman said if the book was ordered,
it should be paid for if not ordered, lot paid.
The resolution was finally postponed for the
present.
