Sfedge-Hammer argument.

George S. Boutwell,, Grants Secre-
tary of the Treasury, in his political
harangue in Philadelphia, on Saturday
before the great election fraud in that
city, stated that the National Debt was
tioo thousand, four hundred and forty
millions Of dollars, (s2,44O,OO0,OOO,)
and that it must be paid in gold, con-
trary to all law and the expectation
of every bondholder. Reader, sup
pose this infamous project succeeds,
with gold at an average premium Of
40 per cent. IL will just add nine
hundred and seuenty-Sir millions TO the
debt, increase the profits Of the bond
holders that much more, and make
the taxpayers bill three thousand, four
hundred and sirteeR millions Of dollars,
(s3, ,4l6,OO0,OO0) This little Boutwel.
lian bill just amounts to nine hundred
dollars for every soul now on this con.
tincnt. Thus, under the latest loil
arrangement, every family of Eve per-
sons is mortgagod to the bondholdcrs
for four HoHSaAd, fUe hundred dollars.

FOR THE CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN.
THE WORKINGS OF THE SPIRIT.

A religious meeting of some interest was
progressing in a little village of East Ten
nessee. Some few manifested a desire for
the prayers of Gods people; yet, many held
back. An inquiry meeting was appointed
for each morning during the services. There
was an interesting young lady without hope
in Christ, at the house where the ministers
were staying. She talked freely of her spir-
itual condition, and wished that she could
have the desire to be Christian, but said
cit was no use for her to attend the inquiry
meeting; there seemed to be no hope for her;
that she had no feeling whatever on the sub
ject, and that she would come away just as
cold and Indifferent, and as frivolous as ever;
that her attendance would only harden her
heart" The minister simply replied
"Not if Gods spirit moves upon your heart. p"
However, out of respect to the minister
alone she promised to attend. He said
"Miss - before going to the inquiry meet
ing, 90 to your room, kneel down, and pray
God to give you the influences of that Spirit
to lead you to Christ. also, and brother NJ
will pray for you" She came early, and be-
fore others had gathered in. With an earn
est countenance she listened to all that was
said, and during the services of the prayer
meeting which followed, wept freely. She
left the house with serious sober face. The
burden was upon her mind, the Spirits work
was going on within. That proud, stubborn
heart was melting beneath the Spirits touch.
Before she knew but little of herself or of
the Spirits power, Now, she was led to see
herself as sinner, and to look to Jesus as
the only Saviour. And before the meeting
closed she was rejoicing in Christ as pre-
cious Saviour, and earnestly desired to testify
her love by uniting with Gods people. 1t
was quiet work without, yet, great change
had been wrought within through the Divine
power.

its present depressed and afflicted state, to
an office so responsible, dignity so high
and holy. She is called, d,-not to utter new
testimony,-not to champion doctrines to
her strange and unknown, n,-but to recognize
her position and fulfil her office, as the sole
remaining representative and heir of that
faithful and witnessing body whom God
raised up thirty years ago, to vindicate in
his name precious doctrines, which were
fercely impugned, and are still by many
spoken against This is the farthest from
implying any arrogance of self'righteous
superiority over others, any gathering of our
robes about us, and crying, "Stand by thy
self, come not nigh me, for 1 am holier than
thou" II is not for us thus to boast of our
selves. But it is for US to recognize ador-
ingly aud gratefully the voice of our Mas
ter's call and commission, and to stand fast
in our lot, and be faithful to this testimony,
all the more tina: elsewhere it is silenced.-

them may not, in every case, be fatal to in
dividual salvation and piety, but their toler
ance in the Church is fatal to the system of
truth, for the maintenance of which it was
established, and involves a grievous derelic
tion to her high trust, from her gracious
Head. "He that is unfaithful in the least,
is unfaithful in that which is much.
These things are written with pain by one
who loves that Church with AIN undying love,
will every day pray for her welfare, and would
most gladly hail the day when, all occasion
of division being removed, our whole body
in this land should join in one serried pha-
lanx of testimony'for God, and battle with
the enemy.
But the time is one in which the trumpet
should give no uncertain sound, the Church
bear no ambiguous testimony; and her
blessed Head beckons her onward without
with flesh and blood. Her
strength does not consist in her numbers,
but in her fidelity to the truth of Christ.

And finally, we take it for granted that
the chief end to be accomplished by the es-
tablishment of great Southern Presbyte-
rian University is the elevation of the stand
ard of education in the ministry. But how
many of our candidates for the sacred Office
could command the time and means to COM
plete as extensive course of instruction as
is here contemplated.
But few, we fear, after leaving college
could spend several years in the University,
and then devote as many more years to
Theological studies. Is it not after all high
ly probable that large majority of this
class of students would never share the ben
efts of the grand scheme of education we
are considering? We are inclined to the
opinion that the greatest want of our minis
try is not more learning, but more piety.

sure, would secure to the Church better

SOUTHERN PRESBYTERIAN UNIVERSITY.

Amid the diversity Of views which have
been advanced in relation to the Southern
Presbyterian University, it may be interest
ing to the Christian public to know who ori-
ginated the idea of this grand enterprise.
The credit of the conception is due to Chan
cellor Colonel Johnston, of South Carolina,
who few years ago was gathered to the
grave full of days and of honors. He was
one of the most eminent .jurists which that
noble State has ever produced, ruling ell
der of great wisdom and zeal, whose coun-
sells were highly valued in the several courts
of the Presbyterian Church, and who was
one of the most pure-minded and simple
hearted Christians whose name adorns the
annals of Southern piety. His plan was to
raise million of dollars by obtaining the
of hundred men of wealth to con-
tribute ten thousand dollars each, and thus
secure the necessary sum without interfering
with the funds of the existing institutions of
