Qua SIDEwALKs.-Tn most towns the size
of our own there is a Borough Ordinance
which requires the owners and tenants of
property. after fall of snow, to remove it
from the sidewalk of the premises occupied
by them within given time. Such ought
to be the law here. After a snow storm and
a drift the pavements in many places are
almost impossible. In the Spring when the
accumulated snow. through successive thaw-
ing and freezing, becomes solid ice, -locomo-
tion is attended with many perils and some
times accidents. The sidewalks along the
whole length of High street. including the
one in front of our own office, and from
High street to the Academy. ought, at least.
to be kept clear Of snow. We commend
this subject to the considerate attention of
the Town Council. and hope they will take
action In the matter. We will remove the
snow from our sidewalk-,ohcn ice k7aoao we

destined to shed unspeakable blessings upon
every class of socicty,-to smooth the pillow
of sickness, to cheer the heart of the dying,
to shed light upon the abodes of bereave-
ment and sorrow, and give bread to the
widow and the orphan.
With such views, an overture was drafted
and laid before the Synod of Kentucky,
some twenty-three years ago, with the design
of securing such action as might lead the
churches to enter upon some systematic plan
to render life assurance available to all the
ministry. This, and similar effort made
subsequently in Tennessee, signally failed to
excite general attention or accomplish any
valuable results. Is there reason to expect
better success now than formerly? Itis the
hope that there is, which has stimulated these
thoughts, in which the design has been to
fix the attention of the churches to some as
poets of their relations and responsibilities,
which are commonly unsuspected orignorcd-
In three or four subsequent articles, |
hope to unfold the history of life assurance,
the principles involved, the various plans of
its management, and other questions which
will present themselves in connection with
its relations to the future plans and policy
of our Southern Presbyterian Church.
Yours in the Gospel,

A Dollar and a Thought.
SAMUEL j. BAIRD.

A few days ago, one of Gods faithful
stewards, man endeavoring to glorify his
Heavenly Father with his substance, and to
lay up treasure in heaven, made this remark
to me:
81 sat down night or two ago, and cal
culated the increase of dollar at compound
interest, and found that, in less than two
hundred and forty years, it amounted to
more than two millions and half of dol
lars. And 1 asked myself whether God
would not make dollar laid up for him
grow as rapidly as it does by the laws of
trade"
The arithmetical calculation, and the
transfer thereof to the field of benefcence,
struck me.
Eyes, my BROTHER" said I, "we need
hardly doubt The word of the Lord is:
Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven.
He has also said: He that hath pity upon
the poor, lendeth to the Lord, and that
which he hath given will he pay him again.
The laws operating in the spiritual world
must be, at least, as certain as those which
operate in any other department of the uni
verse. God is more able and willing to pay
his debts than men are to pay theirs. You
would not have my money as q loan without
paving me interest, and God is more noble-
mlhaedA than man. How certain and en-
phatic is the promise that he will pay it
again! I have not the least doubt, dear
brother, that in two hundred and forty years
from this day you will find every dollar you
have laid up for the Lord worth more to
you than two and half millions of dollars.
And, then, there is this to be thought of
about the matter: if you put out your dol
lar on receipt, you must be certain to col
lect your money and its interest every year,
and every year find responsible borrower
for the amount. When you give to the
poor, you lend to the Lord, VINO keeps the
accounts, and does the compounding for
you. DR.. Deems.

God With us in Our Trials.

God can unravel the most intricate paths;
can make the crooked straight Oh, there
is softness in Gods touch, which gives a
help no man can minister God sees where
the sore is, and lays his hand on the very
place; whereas man only aggravates the
wound.
You can do, in connection with God, what
you cannot do or pass through with man.
And what pains does God take to encourage
our trust in him, constrainng US to pour out
our hearts before him, and find q refuge !
Yes "Unto the upright there ariseth light
in the darkness" Be the cloud ever SO
dense, the way never so perplexed, there
will always be something in the midst of it
which will reveal Fathers love, Father s
care; there will be ever bow in the cloud.
In the midst of midnight darkness, the
believer knows that eight is sown for the
righteous" therefore he occupies himself,
no4 with forebodings as to how things will
turn out, but rests on the promise of God,
and above all, on his purpose in affecting
us-even to make US partakers of his holi-
ncss-and he stays himself on his God.
Again, all our care should be so as to walk
that we may know, in times of trial, the
controversy is not one of judgment, but Of
love, and seek to extract out of trial the
spiritual blessing for which it is sent, name
ly, conformity to Jesus, and partaking of
his holiness.
Be it perplexity Of circumstances, or
other trials, God has in all but one intent.
Deliverance, not death, is his aim. If he
made Israel hunger, it was not to starve,
but to feed them. 1t is the characteristic
of our walking in Christ, not to be moved
by evil tidings. The soul casts its burdens
on God; and if any say, the upright only
are promised light, then the gospel comes
in the blood which cleanses, and We feel our
ground of hope is in the righteousness put
on US.
Satan often strives to take from us this
confidence, and thereby separate us from
God. Let our desires for holiness be as the
wood which the fire from the sacrifice kin
dies into q fame. When the Lord asked
the blind man, "What wilt thou p he knew
what to an swer; so in trial, let the real OBJ
ject of the desire be the removal of that
which makes trial needful. The Lord has
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1869-03-10

and come as frequently as he thought ne
cessary, and say plainly, this or that ought
to be done, and ask the right men among us,
we would get to work, it might be, one and
all.
You have [ think ten elders in your
church. Suppose you could fairly interest
each one in the department best suited to
him, so that he would be eager to interest
all the members of the church in the same
thing, how much work would be accom-
plished. 1t would require much labor on
your part? Yes, but if you succeeded, it
would relieve you of much labor afterwards.
If, when you wanted information on such
and such matter pertaining to the congre-
cation, you could go at once to an elder who
knew all about it, or when something was
to be done, you could commit it to the hands
of another and feel assured that he would
attend to it with diligence and ability, you
would be securing much more time than you
could in any other way, for your study aud
pastoral visiting.
I wish to say something about the man.
agement of a session when assembled as
iudcatory, but | have not left myself space
in this number. will therefore only add
that while the elders are those whose CO.
operation it is most important to make avail
able to the highest degree, there will be
found among the other members of the
church, and not unfrequently among some
of the congregation not members of the
church, persons who, if judiciously dealt
with, will contribute highly valuable in
Auence for good.
To the women of the church you may di
rect your efforts with the certainty of find
ing them ready to be trained to prompt,
spirited and indefatigable action.

expect to be always electrified, which neither
the powers of the speaker nor their own
minds will admit Of Consequently such
men, after time, sink in the public estima-
tion. They, moreover, are seldom good
pastors. They do not remain long in one
place, and thus lose the advantage of perma.
nent usefulness. Even Whtefeld ceased to
attract very great attention after preaching
few weeks in one place. Ministers of or
dinary capacities always rise in the esteem
and admiration of their congregations, when
it is known that their souls are devoted to
their Masters service. 1t is by patient con-
tinuance in works of faith and labors of love,
that extensive good is accomplished. Ora
tory pleases, but converts no soul. This is
the work of the promised Spirit alone.
