RaT Assembly's Record-A contract has been
made in Mobile, for publishing full daily report
of the proceedings of the General Assembly, 1t
will involve an expense which cannot be met un-
less our brethren throughout the churches take
some pains to get subscribers for it.
In appointing committee to provide this re-
port, the last Assembly acted under persuasion
that it would be not only convenient to many to
have such record from year to year, In form
suitable for reference, hut that it would also be
very useful measure in other respects. To get In
telgence of what is said and done while tits fresh
from the lips of the speaker-to have thus an I'M
mediate sympathy with what is going on, is worth
a great deal as means of good in our churches
The committee are very anxious to carry out
successfully the wishes of the Assembly. Will
our brethren grant them that effective aid, by
which only this can be accomplished? If success
ful this first time, it will soon become thing easy
to carry through.
Our Church papers will confer favor by calling
attention once more to this matter.
Subscribers names, and Post Office, with the
amount (Jty ceats) may be sent (if done quickly
to the Office of this paper, or where more conve-
nient, to the office of any of our Church papers
or to the Permanent Clerk of the General As
sembly, Mobile, Alabama"

NEW LIFE.

Our readers cannot have read the proceedings
of our spring Presbyteries without noticing the
amount of important business transacted. There
is good evidence of new life and increased eff
cheney in all our Presbyteries in the responsible
work in their hands, May we not accept this as
the impulse of Divine energy in the hearts Of
Gods servants? Among many items we notice
the following of special interest:
Montgomery Resbytery inaugurates a system Of
Evangelization among the colored people.
Manchester P-esbytey acts upon our suggestion
last week, and proposes to unite several churches
here and there into circuits.
Lexington Presbyte,y proposes to hold Sunday
School Convention for the benefit and instruction Of
Superintendent and teachers.
Roanoke Presbytey organizes church at Chris
Evansville of Northern Presbyterians, lately settled
at that point. Another step altogether in accord
ance with our lately expressed views.
Chesapeake Presbytay receives the interesting
new organization the Central Presbyterian church,
Washington, D. G.
East Hanover Presbytery proposes new set OF
Standing Rules. Our enterprising brethren Of
Montgomery have made the move in our Synod in
adopting capital code of rules-and have found
them most efficient and satisfactory.
And this suggests that our Synod greatly needs
thatits Rules and precedents, very little known now,
should be codifed in small manual
We have good reports of greatly increased &C
tivity everywhere in Virginia. Let the people
pray for the junction. of the Spirit upon our earnest
laborers, and an abundant harvest this summer of
souls into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and
Saviour Jesus Christ.

COMMITTING THE cATEcH1sM.

One of our ministers has recently been called
upon to hear the Shorter Catechism recited by a
number of young ladies belonging to families un-
connected with the Presbyterian church. They
were prompted to the effort by an offer from a
gentleman in New York to present handsome
Bible to every one who would commit it to memo
ry for the first time, and recite it to minister
correctly In one case, little girl Of nine years.
in the same neighborhood whose parents were
Presbyterians, repeated the whole Catechsm with
remarkable accuracy and propriety, and received
her Bible promptly by mail. Such facts are en-
couraging as indicating progress, and suggesting
very simple method of conveying the fundamen-
tai truths of religion into minds usually naccessi
BILE to our influence They also show the admira-
bic wisdom and consistency of our Catechism,
which encounters no bitter hostility among those
who have been such strangers to its contents, that
they have not even heard of the popular prejudice
by which, in some portions of the country, it has
been condemned and denounced. Whilst we would
not obtrude our distinctive doctrines upon other
denominations, we have reason to rejoice in every
occasion by which they may be properly diffused
among the people. AccessiOns thus acquired are
worth far more than materials that are newly
thrown amongst US by the force Of circumstances

For THE CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN
My New Books.

There are just twelve in all They form 9
bright row on a vacant shelf directly before my
eyes whenever | look up from my Study-table.
The very backs are pleasure to me. For three
weeks they have been there, but I have never
tired of looking at them. There is so much plea
sure in the anticipation, that have almost feared
to break the charm by disturbing the beautiful ar.
ray and punging into their contents
Books are very dear now and am only coun.
try parson with a small salary. Smith, English &
Co., do not give their treasures away though they
are liberal and obliging How did come by SC
many new books? A brother who visited me lately
after descanting at length on his domestic happi
ness, looked at my book-shelves, and with deep
sigh said, "It is easy to see that you are bache
lor." And that is the reason come to have twelve
new books this spring. God is good to us all. He
gave my friend wife. He gives me books We
will both thank him.
There has been great change in the publication
of books in few years past Such is the rapidly
with which they are issued, and such are the i'm
provements in all the parts of book-making, thai
some changes in book purchasing have come about
For example, it is not best to buy books in such
style as will last two or three generations, as oul
fathers did. Before ten or twelve years all that i:
valuable in current literature will be published il
better and cheaper editions. Old Libraries are moi
worth much now -a.days. And even my preciou:
new books will be out of date in printing and
binding, if not in matter, in very few years.
buy books, therefore, with reference to my
own immediate use. The cheapest edition that IL
complete and in fair type, is my choice. Why
should invest two or three dollars volume in
substantial bindings to be laid away idle on the
shelves? That sum would buy me another volume
of valuable thought to be stored away in my mem
DRY for use all my life. The supply of mental pabu
lum is of far greater Importance than the satisfac
ton of having case of books bound in calf
Ones own work is the duty of to-day. Buy
books with reference to that, and let another gen
Grafton supply their own books.

The Right Spirit.

A friend, who amid many trials and discourage
ments has long had it in his heart to be minister
of the Gospel, writes:
Here is passage of Scripture which love tt
read now: Now it was in the heart OF David my
father to build an house for the name OF the Lore
God of Israel But the Lord said to David my
father, Forasmuch as it was in thine heart t.
build an house for my name, thou didst well il
that it was in thine heart.'-2 Chron. VI: I, g.
:" 1t has BEEN and is, as believe, in my hear
to preach Christ's gospel; and yet am not sure
that he has chosen me for this purpose: | know
that very many things render me unfit tor tn
work. | am not worthy of such position-fa
from it-and 1 know that nothing but Gods grace
can qualify me for it ard yet, if He has ehoser
me or will choose me for it !! know that He ha
said. My grace as sufficient for thee. My dali!
prayer is for his guidance. But whatever He ma!
have for me to do, | am greatly thankful for this
that He has recently vouchsafed to me such sens
of his gracious presence as never had before fol
which would ascrbe all glory to his great and glo
rious name"
