GRANT TO VISIT CALIFoRNIA.-Private
correspondence received in this city
from Washington, give US positive and
authentic information that President
Grant will certainly visit this coast dur
ing the coming summer. Vice President
Colfax is expected to accompany the
grand excursion party, which will
make the trip earlier, by way Of celebrat-
ing the opening of the road Gen. Grant,
however, desires to cross the continent in
a less ostentatious manner later in the
season, with but a very small party.
The visit ofthe President, should he come
to California, would be an occasion for
the greatest enthusiasm ever witnessed
in the State; and, as Grant is the first
man that ever he'd the Presidential
chair, and has previously resided in Cali
fornis, it would be quite fitting that he
should be the first President Of the
United States that has ever visited this
State.-San Francisco Alta CalyoT-

Keep your Children out of the World

Keep your children out of the world, and the
Lord will bless you in so doing" said an aged
mother, on her dying bed, to her own children.
She then added, - kept my children out OF the
world, and tried to bring them up for the Saviour
and the Lord rewarded me for so doing, by per-
hitting me to see you all brought into the Church
many years ago." This same mother in Israel,
having been left widow in early life, first gave
herself unto the Lord, and then trained her
children for His service.
Never did she permit one of the family, while un'
der her control to attend any place of public amuse-
ment or worldly gaiety. She was strict in her re-
quirements, as to the observance of the Sabbath,
and attendance on family worship,-which she
always conducted herself when there was no one to
fill the place for her; and was very faithful in
giving her household religious instruction in the
Bible and Catechism
On the other hand she was ever ready to indulge
her children in any innocent recreation; and took
great delight so far as her means would allow, in
making their home the most pleasant place to them
on earth.
How many parents of the present generation
will be able, on their dying beds, to say, have
kept my children out of the world, aud have
trained them up for the Lords service ,"

Presbyterian Union in India-In publishing
the remarks Of DR.. Macleod, of Scotland on this
subject, we are not to be understood as asserting
to the present practicability of his views The
piety aud fervid eoquence Of that popular speaker
are not untrequently in advance of his judgment
The question is not what is desirable in itself but
what is attainable under present circumstances
In perfect state of the world, or one far better
than now existing it might be entirely practicable
to bring many things together which are separated
But what can be done, as things stand? Is it not
plain that premature attempts at fusion, will
only end in grand confusion worse cOnfound
edY'
In so far as the present discussions about eccle
siastieal unions spring from desire TO cultivate
the grace Of true brotherly unity, they claim our
commentator, for We should cherish that holy
object with all our hearts. But it is manifest
from the discussions over the world, that the
minds of many are running along mistaken line,
and must come to disappointment at the end.
They are contOUnGing ecclesiastical uniformity with
ecclesiastical unity. The true unity of family
does not consist in the members all living together
in the same house. That might promote the
harmony Of the family on the one hand, or might
hinder it on the other, according to circumstances
If all Christians were entirely of one mind and one
heart, it might greatly promote the harmony and
efficiency OF the Church to have much fewer or
CARNATIONS. We say Jelcer-for even then it is,
to say the least, extremely doubtful whether the
attempt to embrace all in one worldwide organi-
cation would not be found as inconvenient, as a
scheme to include all civilized society under one
civil government.
Buff it is found that the various branches of
the Presbyterian family in India are sufficiently
agreed, 50 that they can safely and comfortably
unite in one organization, certainly there are mo,
mentous considerations in its favor. By all means
let them be ono in form if they are one in mind
and heart; and "let all the people say Amen"

Dear Brethren,-At the suggestion of the ven.
cradle Secretary of Sustentation, the Domestic
Missionary Committee of your Presbytery has re-
duced its application for 1869 from 81, 300 to
$l,050 If this amount cannot be had our mis-.
sonary work must be restricted, and our ministers
must support themselves by secular employment,
or seek other fields of labor. The very thought of
either alternative is painful.
We do not forget your present unusual poverty.
Some few churches have done we'll The sun so
far contributed amounts to about $40 But nearly
one half OF the churches have not yet reported,
although it is nearly two months since the time for
contributing
delinquent churches to send their contributions at
once But our main purpose is to ask that the
private members of all our churches whether they
have contributed or not-will endeavor by personal
offering, to increase the contributions already
made to this vital cause. For the Committee is
unanimous in thinking we should not ask one dol
lar more than is raised in our bounds We desire
the people to move in this great matter; for the
efforts made by pastors and sessions have not sue
ceeded Yet we would have you send your per
sonal offerings through the regular channels of the
Church. We do earnestly invoke your aid in this
time of your Churchs trial. Let all your contr-
buttons be forwarded to John n Bell, Winches-

ed and beloved brother, Ambrose Ford, who has
for many years past been consistent member and
ruling elder of this church, and as such member
of this session-therefore,
Resolued, That in the death of this brother who
was to us a pleasant companion, faithful co.
worker, an humble laborer in the cause of Christ,
and judicious and safe counselor in the court of
this church of the Lord Jesus, we recognise the
hand of God, who seeth not as man seeth; )" and
are ready to cry, Help, Lord, for the gody man
ceaseth, the faithful fail from among the children
Of men.
Resolued, That whilst in this time when the
mystery of iniquity doth already work. we feel
more deeply the need of faithful co.workers for
Christ, yet we would bow submissvely to His
will who doeth all things well-who only afflicts
His true children for their good; humbly praying
Him that here under the stress Of this affection,
He would by His holy Spirit, awaken our hearts
to fresh desires, and enlighten our minds for the
Christ and office bearers in His house.
ReSolUed, That we deeply sympathize with his
bereaved widow and orphan children in their loss,
and would tenderly and affectionatey point them
to Him who says, leave thy fatheress children
to me, l will keep them alive, and let thy widows
trust in me" and we would comfort one another
with these Words that We sorrow not "even as
others which have no hope. For if we believe
that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also
which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him."
Resolved, That the Clerk of session send copy
of these resolutions to the family of the deceased,
and another to the Central Presbyterian for publ
cation.

composed of one prayer meeting for the whole col.
lege, on Sunday afternoon.
BIBLE CLASSES.
Of these there are three, and it is hoped that it
will not be taken as the usual nauseating hattery
OF the press, if we say that the instruction given
to these classes is most valuable and interesting
Two of those are held on Sunday morning, the
first taught by one of the Professors of Law, the
instruction of the other class, which is taught by
the Professor of Moral Philosophy, consists OF
systematic exegetical lectures on the Bible. The
third class meets at three o'clock in the afternoon
and studies the Greek New Testament.

later effects of the religious change which has

than hundred fold. The Y Dung Mems Christian

Kept Away from the World.-The best com
mentary upon the fidelity of the Christian mother
referred to in brief article on this page is the
simple statement of facts known to US, and which
we mention without the name of persons or place.
She brought up her children in close vicinity to
village in Virginia, when it was a seat of wicked
ness, and when there was almost no religious so
eiety or influence there. She had two sons, who
are well known as pious valuable elders OF the
two daughters, one became the wife of a Presby
terrain minister who died in Kentueky-a truly
noble, devoted Christian woman, whose life, it is
thought, was shortened by labors for the cause Of
Christ beyond her strength. The other also was
married to a Presbyterian minister, to both Of
whom no further reference can be here made than
to say that through long years of faithful service,
they have been striving to "stand complete in all
the will of God"
Such is a part of the reward given to a wise,
faithful, devoted Christian mother, whose efforts
were anxiously directed to keeping her children
away from the world '-nOt keeping them out
of it. but keeping them from its eril, and for this
end keeping them from its sinful ways.
There is always so much that can be plausibly
said in favor Of falling in with what is common in
society, and so many parents are afraid of being
thought singular about the ways adopted for their
households to walk in, that they seem hardly to
know there is such an injunction laid upon them
as-"Be ye not eoniormed to this world But
the greatest of all dangers to personal or family
piety-the greatest to the Church. lies precisely
there. The cause of the Redeemer needs this day
nothing so much, as more of that peculiar PEG
pie" whom Jesus came to purify unto himself"
people who, while living in the world shall yet
be separate from it. The Lord bless his Church
with many more fathers and mothers who shall
thus train up their children.

The Rev J. A. Dickson, pastor of the Monticello
church, in Ouachta Presbytery, Arkansas. has
recently organised New Bethany church in Chicot
Co. near Bartholomew and Crooked Bayous. The
new church numbers sixteen members. Mr. Dick
son also baptized fifteen children connected with
families in this new church.
The Monticello church is in prosperous condi

school being under the care of the church.
We are glad to learn that the New Hope church
in Arkansas has undertaken to build house of
worship. This church is one of our outposts, and
numbers but twenty-six members. 1t is not less
than hundred miles from any other Presbyterian
church.

church, Alabama, is devoting one.tbird of-his
time to the Greensboro church. Last year he
preached there one Sabbath in each month
The abors of the Rev. R. hlcInnis, evangelist
of the Presbytery of Central Mississippi have been
greatly blessed. He has been permitted to receive
into the Church more than one hundred persons
on the profession of their faith. He has also been
instrumental in erecting five church buildings, and
organising three churches, besides reviving others
which we're ready to perish

Aberdeen Female College. We learn that this
college is in quite furnishing condition.
The mission field under the care of the Rev. j.

into self.sustaining condition. Mr.. Lewis has
occupied it for two years; and during that time,
besides building Milton church with some aid from
abroad 5000 has been contributed to the benevo.
