UsuY.

A practical question of morals arises in business
transactions, upon which light may be thrown, by
some correspondent of the Central Presbyterian,
and on which the true doctrine is solicited.
Under existing law, can protesting Christian,
consistently with his faith, either individually or
as member of banking corporation, engage in
what is usually termed Shaving paper" or in the
loan of money, at higher rate of interest than is
allowed by law?
l do not, in propounding this question, intend
10 consider the expediency of the usury laws
That money, like any other article Of bargain and
sale, may be worth more or less than six per cent
may be true that bond or note may or may not
be bought and sodat higher rate of interest than
six per cent without any violation of good morals,
may be equally true. But the point Of the enquiry
above suggested, is designed to be this: can pro-
Tossing Christian hnO,oingly violate law OF the
land, without committing san
The question suggested is an eminently practical
one. That many good men do engage in shaving
paper" is notorious; that modern banks are
"staving shops" no more, no less, is equally
well known; that the taxes collected by the State
of Virginia and deposited in these "shaving
shops" are used to shave the tax payers is sus
pected by some, and not doubted by many. And
men of high reputation, as active and jealous
Christians are managers and owners of these soul
less corporations
This whole subject of usury, as moral question,
will again be thoroughly considered under the pro-
visions of the New Constitution, which allows

Results of Missions.

While ignorant skeptics sneer at the work of
Foreign Missions, and pretend that nothing has
been effected in India and other places mentioned,
they are contradicting the most established facts
furnished from the best sources For example,
Sherring, in his recent work-"Sacred City of the
Hindus," says:
1.-THE results of missions in India are not sur.
passed by anything that has been accomplished, OF
religious character, in modern times, either in
England or in America, or any other quarter OF
the globe. These results are both direct and in
direct-direct in the way Of conversions from the
heather; indirect in regard to the general en-
| lightenment and progress of the people" Chris
tianity," he adds, lis now power in India

ranks and castes including Hindus of the straitest
sects, respect and fear What is the greatest ques
ton at this moment agitating no small portion OF
the millions of India? Not the increased social
happiness and prosperity of the people, nor the
augmentation OF commerce and trade, or the vast
Improvements of the country-visible on every
hand, wonderful as they all are-but this What
is truth /? What constitutes religion What is the
destiny of idolaters and what that of Christianity
in the coming ages? The people are thinking,

Truth, in its clearness and power, is gradually
entering their minds, and changing their habits
and lives.

Revival at Euharlee Church, Ga.-Thc Rev. A.
G. johnson writes from Euharlee, Ga.
1--WE have just closed most interesting meet
ing of eight days in the Euharlee church. The
Rev. j. ID. w. Burkhead has been here from
Athens, Ca. preaching with great power the truths
of the gospel The congregation was large from
the commencement of the meeting; the people
came for twenty miles to hear the gospel.
Brother Burkhead did not make single
passions of men. His object was to convince the
Judgment rather than excite the feelings. In the
hands of God, he has done his duty faithfully, and
a great blessing has followed his preaching. The
work of grace is deep, we trust; already twenty
have united with our church, and the good work is
going on, though we closed the meeting after eight
days preaching. We held inquiry meetings, from
day to day. Oh that God would revive all our
churches in the Presbytery; not only SO, but may
he bless world lying in SIM and give to us mis-
sionary spirit"
The Colored NJ E. Church South.-ThiS body seems
to be making way amid many ISLANDERS and much
opposition They have arrayed against them all
the disturbing and distracting elements, seeking
to provoke jeaouses and animosities between the

the Rev. A. r. Spencer, who has charge OF this
church in Talbotton, Ca, giving account OF his or
ganzing the church and Sunday School there, In
the face OF great hostility. But he has persevered'
until he has Furnishing charge with good Sun
day School, in which he is encouraged and assisted
| by many prominent white members of our Church.
| He also has a day-school, in which many colored
children have been taught to read and write
Both schools have given public exhibitions wherein
the whites gave them pecunary aid and encourage
ment by their presence. There has been quite
revival in the church, and a number of members
has been added. This letter says: am con.
WINGED that the Colored NJ. Il. Church South has
been, and is now, an instrument in the hands OF
God to lift our race up from degradation. Wher,,
ever its banner floats, peace and charity prevail
between the whites and colored people. God Is
with us in this work. and we need not fear what
our enemies can do against us. IS g. Adcocate.

Urgent Need of Raising $4,000 for the For
of October.
To the Ministers, Elders Deacons, and Members
of the Church..
Respected Christian Brethren,-The peculiar
circumstances of the Foreign Missionary work, at
the present time, renderit imperatively necessary
for me to call your attention to the subject, and
invite your cooperation in order to avert the dis
tress with which tits threatened.
1t was distinctly stated. at the last meeting of
the General Assembly, and after very careful con-
sderaon that it would require at least $780, 900 to
meet the exigencies of the cause for the year to
end December 3lst, 1869. Since that time the
average monthly contributions of the churches
have been about $4,000, which would make the
full amount required in the course of the year,
provided there should be no falling off in the sub
sequent months. But it is necessary that the sal
aries of the missionaries be paid semi-annually in
advance; and not only SO, but the funds intended
for this purpose must leave this country at least
two months before that time. The missionaries
and no private resources to which they could re-
sort in times of want. The Executive Committee
of Missions cannot borrow money, and if they
could it would not only be unwise and inexpedient,
but it would be in violation of the principles upon
which they have acted heretofore. At the same
time it is absolutely necessary that at least $4,000
should be RENTED to the missionaries in China,
Brazil, and Colombia, by the last Of October in
order to save them from actual distress. We
deem it necessary simply to lay these facts before
you. May we not rely upon the people of God to
make the necessary effort to meet the emergency?
At the same time it is earnestly requested that all
funds contributed to this cause, be sent on as
speedily as possible, to the Treasurer, in Column
bia. In bonds of Christian love,
j. LEIGHTON WILSON,
Secretary of Foreign Missions.

Convention of the Press-Referring to Con,
veDtion expected to be held in Richmond this fall,
the Enquirer and Ecamiaer of the Goth instant
says:
ave are in favor of the Press Convention. And
let us establish some ticed rates for advertising
And let US try to stop the system OF putting
which is lying. And let us try to stop the publ
cation OF advertisements as selected reading matter
And let US resolve to receive no free tickets, and
no presents of any sort
Agreed, with all our heart. And to this we
would like to add, that if such Convention will
determine to exclude all advertisements of filthy
character, and also the reports of filthy cases
brought up before the police of the cities, it would
crafty the best portion of the community, and
promote good morals What parent would allow
man to come into his family every morning and
repeat such vile stuff in the hearing of his chill
dren? And what more right has he to allow a
newspaper free access to them every day, relating
the very same things? 1t is really an abomina-
tion-a nuisance that ought long ago to have been
abated. If only very small part of those whose
judgment and moral sense revolt against the evil,
would combine against it, it could be remedied in
any city in single week. fit be proper to gather
up these disgusting narratives, reeking fresh from
the brothels and dens Of iniquity, why not from
every sink of corruption in the country as well?
Our belief is that if the editors of our newspa-
pers would meet and fairly consider all the ques
tons properly belonging to them, and act in con,
cert, they could not only do much towards helping
themselves in business point of view, but could
do much more in making the public press great
