Thoughts OF Heaven.
No sickness there
No wearing, wasting of the frame away;
No fearful shrinking from the midnight air;
No dread of summers bright and fervid ray.
No hidden grief
No wild and cheerless vision of despair;
No vain petitions for a swift relief;
No fearful eyes, no broken hearts are there!
Care has no home
Within the realm OF ceaseless praise and song.
It's billows break away and melt in foam,
Far from the mansions of the spirit throng.
The storms black wing
Is never spread athwart celestial skies
Its waiings blend not with the voice of spring,
No night distis
It's chilling dews upon the tender frame;
No moon is needed therel the light which fills
No parted friends
De mournful recollections have to weep;
No bed of death enduring love attends,
To watch the coming Of pulseless sleep.
No blasted flower,
Or withered bud, celestial gardens know;
No scorching blast, or fierce descending shower,
Scatters destruction like ruthless foe.
No battle word
Startles the sacred host with fear and dread;
The song Of peace, creations morning heard,
1s sung wherever angel minstrels tread
Let us depart,
If home like this await the weary eoul!
Look up, thou stricken one! Thy wounded heart
Shall bleed no more at sorrows stern control.
With faith, our guide,
White -robed and. innocent, to lead the way,
Why fear to plunge in Jordan's rolling tide,
10 lind the ocean OF eternal day?

A REMARKABLY DREAM.

In the year 1914, the late Mr. and Mrs
Foster were acquainted with three sisters,
residing in London, two of whom were seri-
Gus, retiring women, and the third just as
gay and volatile. They were all elderly,
which rendered the gaiety of the third less
becoming, and also inclined her the more
easily to take offence at any remarks made
upon it, She hated the piety of her sisters,
and opposed it in many petty, spiteful ways,
though they endeavored sedulously to ac-
commodate themselves to her wishes, and
to render the differences of their opinions
as little disagreeable to her as possible.
One night, toward the close of the year
1914, she had been out to an assembly very
late, and the next morning, ut breakfast,
was 80 remarkably different from her usual
manner, that her sisters thought she must
be either unwell or had met with some mis-
fortune that had affected her deeply. Instead
OF her usual incessant chatter about every
person she had met-everything they wore,
said, and dld-she sat silent, sullen1 and
absorbed. The gloom upon her brow was
mixture OF temper and distress, which
seemed to indicate fixed resolution, formed
upon circumstances disagreeable to her, as
if she was determined to pursue her own
will, though it should lead her into trouble,
rather than pursue the course she knew to
be right, but would reduce her to submit TO
the control of another. AS she ate nothing.
her sisters asked her ii she was unwell.
"No."
"What was the matter?"
Nothing"
"Had nothing distressed her?"
''She had no idea of people prying into
what did not concern them"
The whole of the morning she spent in
her own room, and at dinner, the same
scene as in the morning occurred. She ate
little, never spoke but to answer uncivilly,
and then with an appearance of depression
and melancholy that spread their influence
very powerfully over the cheerfulness of
her companions. She retired to rest late,
and with the spirit of one that expects
neither alienation nor refreshment
Ihe next morning, she again scarcely
tasted breakfast, and seemed in the same
distressed, uncomfortable state as on the
preceding day. Her sisters again renewed
their inquiries She said
o! am well, and nothing pains me-"
Then you have something on your mind {;
why will you not tell us? Do we Tot love
you? have we not tho same earthly interest
as you? and can we seek any good but yours
in our anxious wish to shore your sorrow?"
"Oh! you have superstitions enough of
YOU, own, without mine being added: T
shali NOT toll what ails me, SO you have no
occasion TO rau your curiosity 1 dare say
You VIII think 1t come spiritual triumph.
but laugh at such things am not onite
old enough yet to be the ,ictim Of dreams
and visions"

The paper found below presents considerations
of great and practical Importance to the whole
Church and under this conviction, as well as from
the fact that it addressed to the General Assem-
bly, of our Church, and received the attention of that
body, it is deemed proper to give it more extern
sive publication.-CEN. PRES.
COMMITTEE ON BILLS AND ovERTUREs.
General Assembly of 1869 to convene in Mobile, Ala
Reid and Dear Brethren:
Your own observation has doubtless in
formed you, how large part of our minis
try came, prior to 1860, from States north
Of Virginia. A careful examination of the
Rolls of the Synod of Virginia, showed that
in 1860 one-half of our working ministers
were from abroad. These remained with us
during our trials, exhibiting an honorable
fidelity to the principles of sound Christian
ity, for which We contend. But it is mani
fest that this source of supply is henceforth
dried up. presume that the ratio between
home-bred and foreign born ministers in our
other Synods is not very different from that
observed in Virginia. If this is true, and
if our home supply of ministers were now
the same as in 1860, it is obvious that one
ministerial generation would leave just half
of our churches which were then supplied,
destitute of pastoral labor. The increase of
our vacancies, and of the demand for efficient
ministerial service, already shows how rap
idly this sad result is approaching.
But our present home supply of ministers
is not equal to that of 1860. The year be.
fore the war, Union Theological Seminary
had thirty-nine students, and Columbia, (it
is believed,) about forty two. Danville also
then trained a goodly number of Southern
students, for Southern pulpits; and few
formed their training at Princeton. Now,
Union Theological Seminary has on her roll
twenty six students, and Columbia number
either equal, or only little larger-Danville
is practically closed, and no student of our
Church goes to Princeton.
While so alarming a desttution, at any
time, would portend lamentable decline of
religious activities, and loss of souls; there
is also reason which makes this condition,
at this time, much more critical. This is
found in the expected influx of white settlers
from the Northern States, Ireland, Great
Britain, Holland and Germany. Our secu-
lar leaders promise us such an influx; some
signs of it already appear: unless it comes,
our Southern country will be left in most
disastrous paralysis and anarchy. Whence,
l infer, you stand ready to desire and expect
such an immigration. But many of these
nominally Presbyterian newcomers will be
from that region, where prevail the ideas
which are so antagonistic to our cherished
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1869-07-07

The first thing in pleasing and serving
God is to become good; good not as some
people think they are by nature, but good
as the Bible says we must be made by grace.
The heart all are born with is not inclined
towards God: it has no real, supreme love
and fear of God in it. Therefore it must be
changed "Ye must be born again"
The next thing is to DO good The world
is full of evil dOers, who are children of the
Eml One; and "One sinner destrOyeth much
good" What plaques some people are in a
neighbOrhOOd. How many they may lead
into sin and to destruction. But then, on
the other hand, how much good may be
effected by one whose heart has been created
anew by the Holy Spirit, and whose life is
consecrated to God This is to become like
God, for he is ever doing good, even to the
evil and unthankful. This is to be like Je-
sus our Saviour, for he "went about doing
good.
The third thing to bear in mind is that
we must keep on, Persevers in doing good.
We must not "be weary" Now there is
great danger that many viii grow weary
for We shall be tempted to do so by our own
slOthful natures, by many hindrances from
others. These We must resist: we must
watch for opportunities to do good: we must
not be discouraged because we do not see all
the good fruits we expected; We must pray
and labor and wait, and "faint not
The fourth thing to be noticed is what
God has promised: ''We shall reap" Who
has ever labored on in vain? Some good
fruit is sure to be gathered in, and it will
come Gin due season" 1t may be long de-
layed, but it will come.
What an encouragement this should be to
preachers, to parents, to all, even to little
children, who are humbly striving to glOrify
their Father in heaven, and to obey the
command of their Saviour.
"Though seed lie buried long in dust,
1t shan't deceive their hope.
The precious grain can ne'er be lost,
For grace insures the crop"

If You Please Make me Christian

l well recollect, in the course of my la
bors, poor Hindoo youth, who followed me
about the garden at the school, asking me to
make him a Christian. l said, "It is i'm
possible my boy if it is possible at all, it is
possible only through the Lord Jesus Christ
to make you a Christian. Pray to him"
How well / reeollect the sweet voice of that
boy when he soon after came to me, and said,

He replied, 81 prayed, and said, 80 Lord

down from heaven, and has lived in my
