past year the way has been made clear Tor
the appointment of so many valuable helpers
in the cause of Foreign Missions.
3. The urgent necessity of increased en-
ergy on the part of all our churches in Sc
curing the full amount of funds required for
the support and encouragement of the mis-
sionaries who have already been, or are yet
to be appointed.
4. The apparent apathy of many of the
churches in regard to the missionary work,
Illustrated more particularly by their delin-
uuency in regard to oblations for the cause.
In view of these items, the Standing Com
mittee would propose the following resolu-
tons for the adoption of the Assembly, viz
1. Resozued, That the General Assembly
hereby express its cordial appreciation of the
work done by the Executive Committee, and
that it do now reappoint the following per-
sons, severally, with the substitution of one
name to supply vacancy, viz: Rev, j.
Leighton Wilson, D. D., Secretary; Rev
Prof. James Woodrow, Treasurer; Rev. Drs'
Geo. Howe, ]. B. Adger, Joseph r. Wilson,
A. W. Miller, j. L. Girardeau, Rev. W. b
Boggs, Gen. F. w. McMaster, DR.. E. Nye
Hutchinson and Gen. E. P. Alexander.
2. That it be enjoinedupon all our ministers
to preach, as it may be suitably and conVe
niently done, at least one sermon, during
the current year, on the subject of Foreign
Missions; and that it be recommended to the
ministers and churches to be careful in the
observance of the monthly concert; anC
that the subject of missions be more fire
quently brought to the attention Of Sabbath
Schools.
3. That it be recommended to the benev
client to make enlarged contributions, to tn,
cause of Foreign Missions; that delinquen
churches be reminded of their short coming
in regard to this work; and in addition t.
the regular annual collection appointed By
the Assembly, it is suggested that collection
be raised at the monthly concerts; and tina
the children of the Sabbath Schools be en-
Outraged to come with their offerings in be
half of this cause.
Before closing the report, your COMMITTEE
would call the attention of the Assembly tt
the claims of the Missionary, published
under the direction of the Publication Com
mittee, and would urge its increased circula
ton among our people.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

the friends we love most, must in some sort,
be selfish and interested; but prayer for
these three classes is, of necessity, disinter-
ested and self-forgetting. Is it not, there
fore, highest the blessing? If all Christians
here would pray, as becomes them, for these
three classes, would not reviving come to
us-early, genuine, widespread, permanent,
glorious? The Lord hasten it in His time .
WOuzdyOu insure reuiUing IN our m'dstg
Then, remember that in praying for others,
you must keep yourselves from their sins
1t is the "lifting up of holy hands on which
the eye of Mercy rests. Even Samuel avowed
his intention to re-knit the broken thread
of his despised Instructions: 81 will teach
you the good and the right way" So must
he who aspires to pray with success, seek
to be also the faithful teacher. The way of
the Lord, its Righteousness, its goodness, must
be taught by all of us-if not by word, by
waikiki not by lip, by life-'ifnot by counsel,
by conduct-if not by advice, by action-if
not by exhortation, by example. "Would
God that all the Lords people," in profess
sion, "were prophets in the spirit of their
lives-that what they are, rather than what
they sag, might witness for Jesus Then
should times of refreshing come from the
presence of the Lord. Oh, that grace may
lead us to strive after these times in this
way, and crown 1ktriving with the saliva
ton of souls, through the blood and name
of Christ
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1869-06-16
Prayer for Others.

A sermon published in the Christian In
der, closes with the following practical i'm
provement, which all Christians who desire
the conversion of their relations and friends,
will do we'll to read:
l. Why haze we no revivsng IN our midst9
l fear that, along with other answers to such
a question, this must be returned There is
among us, the sin of ceasing to pray for
others! We sorrow not Alright over their
rebellion against God. We tremble not
Alright in view of Gods anger against them.
They are forgotten at the throne of grace;
or, if remembered there, cold frigidity
breathes through the remem brance, and the
prayers it prompts CONCEAL before they leave
the lips, and drop, like ice, to the ground.
If this be so, let US make haste to confess
and forsake our sin against the Lord, that
we may have mercy-mercy not for our
selves alone, but for these perishing, outcast
souls.
2. DO yOu desire a revtving IN our midst?
Then, pray for others. Not with SpiritlesS
formality; but "ardent pangs of strong de-
sire" Not because conscience exacts it; but
because the full heart mnst pour itself out,
like water, before the face of the Lord
Take these three rules, as suggested by our
subject, and act on them, each for himself.
l. Think of the one in this community,
who, so far as your knowledge extends, is
the most fragrant sinner in it; and pray for
him.
2. Think of the one in this community,
who has longest withstood your efforts for
his instruction and benefit; and pray for
him.
3. Think of the one in this community, at
whose hands you have suffered the grossest
personal indignity; and pray for him.
Prayer for our nearest kindred and for

Continent at a most early period indeed,
as the official accounts of the Buddhist
priests fourteen hundred years ago notice
these things as existing already Perhaps
now old records may be recovered in Chi
ma which may furnish full particulars of
this question
III is, at any rate remarkable, and
contirmatiye of the idea of emigration
from China to America at some remote
period, that at the time of the discovery
of America by the Spaniards, the Indian
tribes on the coast of the Pacific, opposite
to China, for the most part enjoyed a
state Of culture of ancient growth, while
the inhabitants OF the Atlantic shore were
found by Europeans in state of original
barbarism. If the idea of America having
been discovered before the time of Column
bus be correct, it only goes to prove that
there is nothing new under the sun, and
that Shelley was right in his bold but
beautiful lines "ThOu canst not find one
spot wherein no city stood" Admitting
this, who can tell whether civilization did
not exist in America when we were
plunged in barbariSm? and, stranger
still, whether the endless march Of ages in
rolling over our present cultivation may
not obliterate it, and sever the two hemi-
spheres once again from each others cog
nizance? Possibly, man is destined, in
Striving after civilization, to be like Sissy
phus, always engaged in rolling up stone
which ever falls down. eRtiemdHS Mug
