LIGHT IN THE CLOUDS.

In the conclusion of Eihu's last speech to Job,
he says And men see not the bright light
lohich as IN the Clouds.
The aim of his argument is to illustrate the
character of God in his dealings with men. His
wisdom in the creation and management of the
world is such that we ought to repose the utmost
confidence in him. We cannot "fnd him out, but
we should trust him as aI-wse and just. But
men do not always act thus They often distrust
God. They look at what seems adverse, and per.
plex themselves about what is obscure. Their eye
is always upon the dark side of everything, and
then see not the bright light lohch as IN the clouds. d"
This is beautiful Scripture; and has it not
some useful lesson for our Christian life? The
Bible itself is not without clouds. Wherever God
is, there is mystery. There are some who seem to
think otherwise; they can explain everything; it
is all reading made easy" to their eyes. But
this is fancy bred from their ignorance. An in
spired Apostle did not hesitate to own there are
something's in it, which he thought were hard to
be understood.
But, thanks to the God of this holy book though
we see the clouds, we see also the bright light up
on them. There is
l. The Lore of an infinite Father. 1t shines
through every page and lights up every sentence.
" God is love-" What a relief to know that this
world is not under the management of an Almigh-
ty being whose character is hateful, or who actu'
ally hates us. He $50 loved the world as to give
his only Son for it. He hates nothing in all his
universe but sin.
>. The u1Spotted holiness Of or great Example
IF it records sad deeds of sin and grievOus defects
in those it represents as the saints of God that is
cloud. But there is bright light upon 1t when
we look upon Him who was "hoy, harmless, I'M
defled, and separate from sinners, and know that
every one of his followers shall at the end stand
complete in his image This shall certainly be ef
fected, because
3. There IS the ooaderfI provision for their
restoration Whatever else is dark in the Bible,
the abundance, the freshness and the efficiency Of
redeeming grace are ever bright as the shining
sun. There is salvation for the lost by the cross Of
the Saviour. What spendOr Of glory and joy
does this single truth throw upon every cloud.
4. There IS the demonstration of a blessed I'M
mortality. Do we yearn-dOes the heart cry out
to know something of what awaits us after the fall
of this earthly tabernacle? IF a man die shall
he live again. Who can answer that great ques
tion2 Without the Bible, none; absolutely none.
1t is dark cloud, full of horror. With the Bible,
the little child upon its mother knee can give the
answer. Jesus said, 81 am the resurrection and
the life" Them that sleep in Jesus will God
bring with him. A." 1t doth not yet appear what
we shall be, but when he shall appear we shall be
ike him. for we shall see him as he is.
Let the bereaYed and tried people of God, often
full of sorrow and heaviness of heart, daily turn
aside to see this great light on the cloud, and be
comforted.

From the Southwestern Presbyterian
The Presbyterian University.


Mr.. Editor: l have received many letters, some
of them from ministers and elders of the highest
standing in our Church. in relation to my late ar
ticle in the April number of the Southern ReSby-
terrain Rev,e,o, on 1.-The Southern Presbyterian
University Some Of these correspondents who
previously had their doubts as to the right Of
the Church to engage in what is mis- named "sec.
ular education, profess to have had their doubts
entirely removed Indeed, the assumption that
the Church of God has no right to superintend
the mental, as we'll as the moral and religious, de-
yelopment of her own members-her own baptized
children-but must leave their young and plastic
minds to be developed and moulded by teachers
and institutions not under the Churchs supervi
sion and control is so erroneous that its statement
is its refutation! Happily, the number Of the adj
yocates of this error is very small, and growing
less. The great majority of my correspondents on
this subject are enthusiastic as to both the mpor
rance and feasibility of the grand enterprise. The
fact is, if the mind and heart Of the Church are
once aroused as to the importance of the work, it
will be of easy and speedy accomplishment. Let
the Synods at their next meetings, make tender
of their respective colleges to the General Assem-
bly,, on condition that so soon as three colleges are
thus offered to the Assembly, possession shall be

tion and then it was in terms moderate and pro-
per- Certain it is that in the meeting at Macon in
December, 1865, seven months after the malignant
spirit of the Northern Assembly culminated-as
it may be hOped-there was not, under all the
provocations of the case, word IN Its action re-
ferring to the subject, nor do we remember that
there was single allusiOn to 1t in all the debates
The Northern Assembly was never so much as
once named.
5. But whatever may have been the forbearance
of the Southern Assembly or the acrimony Of the
Northern, it would be wrong in any one processing
the Christian name, not to mark with satisfaction
the improved manner in which the last men,
toned has been enabled to speak Of us, and even
to US Instead of the accusations, scOrn and SIAN
der poured into the ear of Christendom against
our good name for FIVE or six years, as has been
shown, they have improved and advanced so lar
that they now recognize us "a body of Christians
about as large as the Free Church OF Scotland) to
be actually a Church, and that thereafter
what suggestions that hereafter makes about
heretofore, hereafter we are ito be treated as
respectable people Let it be hoped that, In the
course of time, that Assembly may see their way
clear" to put us on the footing of the most ia
vored nations to use the language of diplomacy
While we believe it quite practicable Tor our
Church to continue in the future as it has through
the past, without the light Of their cOuntenance at
all upon it, we are prepared to say in all sincerity,
that for the sake of the Christian name Ito say
nothing of the Presbyterian we are pleased to see
the improvement of 1868, as contrasted with pre-
vious years, and the still greater improvement OF
1862 as compared with 1868. Their resolutions
of last year were quoted in our remarks last week,
and as the present sketch has brought the review
down to that point, we propose, in the next place,
to offer some remarks suggested by that paper and
what was said in their Assembly when it was
adopted, as well as what has been said by their
newspapers since that time, In the mean time,
and at all times we hope that our Assembly, as 1t
weighs in the scales of righteous judgment both
the position of that Assembly and its own, will
never give it any other answer than one which is
marked by " Christian Candor and Courtesy.
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1869-08-18

given, and the Assembly shall have the authority
to proceed at once to their consolidation, as the
toundatiOn-the cornerstone, as it were, of the
great university. As beginning, let Oakland,
Austin, LaGrange Oglethorpe, Stewart, andothers,
be surrendered to the next Assembly, and let the
work OF Consolidation be done Immediately; and
who cannot see that we should have, at once, as an
embryo, an Institution of no contemplate stand
ing?
In the next place let each one of our thousand
ministers engage to raise within the range of his
influence, and within five years time on an aver
age, one thousand dollctrS each, payable in five an
nual instalments-that is, two hundred dollars
each per year, for five consecutive years-and be.
hold the result, no less than million of dollars,
in cash, to be used by the Assemby's Directory in
establishing the so much-needed institutional an
Institution where every child Of the Church, and
every youth Of any name, Of good moral charac.
ter, shall receive an education-tree OF tuition
charges!
But Mr.. Editor, there are two things which we
should studiously avoid discussing at this time
The first is the location of the contemplated Uni
versity. In these days of steam and railroads, and
teegraphic wires, location is of small Importance
provided that it be healthy one. Let this ques-
ton, which may so easily become an apple of dis.
cord be left to the prayerful wisdom of the As.
semblys Directory.
The second thing to be avoided at this stage Of
the enterprise is the discussion of the plan and
details of this Institution. Let this, also, be left
to the deliberate Judgment of the silent and pru-
dent Directory that the Assembly will appoint.
respectfully request the several papers of oul
Church to give this short article a place in theil
columns. Let us prayerfully discuss this great
question: with an earnest desire to know and to dc
our duty as Church.

Want of Rain-The drought is now so long
continued and so extensive in Virginia that the
crops of corn and tobacco must be cut short The
loss of the former as an article of food and of the
latter as a source of income, will be most severely
felt and among many can not fail to produce dis
tress
If the statement is correct that the average sur
plus of food over the world at large is only enough
to supply it for three months, we see how COM
pletely it is in the hands of God. Should He cut
short the provisions Of his hand by one fourth OF
the usual quantity or suspend the productions Of
the earth for four months, would not every living
thing perish?
Notwithstanding the partial failure Of our crops
in some places, how faithful is God to his ancient
promise" Whilc'thc earth remaineth, seed.time
and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter,
and day and night, shall not cease
