FOR THE CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN.
ONLY ONE BELIEVING" NECESSARY

How quickly the sinners difficulties would
vanish, if he were content to believe in Je-
Sus, and did not try to believe also in him
self How unfortunate that he persists in
adding to the simple and easy condition re-
quired? When we repeat the words Shin
that cometh unto me, [ will in no wise cast
out" he tells us that he has no doubt they
are true, but is afraid he does not come
Whereas, if he believes them, with his heart
to be true-even though without any thought
of self whateyer-he believes all that is re.
. quired of him-and comes in every sense in
which he is required to come. To say that
the sinner must both "believe" and "come, .
is to demand two believings of him; the first
a believing in the Divine testimony, and
the second a believing in his own faith, feel
ings, or acceptance of the Gospel-in other
words, IN himself.
Dear reader, only the first of these two
is necessary. IF you believe that Jesus
Chriss vii not caat out any one who comes
to him, you are saved. For how can you
have faith in this declaration OF the Saviour
without admiring and loving him. And are
not these the exercises of arenewed nature
The moment therefore that it flashes upon
you, in regard to any of the testimonies Of
|
God as to his Son, that they are true, that
moment it is counted to you for righteous
ness.
But every one has this faith, you say
Far from it. For the things asserted Of
Christ are glorious and soul-melting. The
moment therefore we believe them, graft
tude springs up in the heart-love begins
to burn, and "Lord, what wilt thou have
me to do" starts from the lips. How diff
ferent is this from that silent, gloomy and
enforced admission of the truth, to which
men are driven in order to avoid the alb
surdity of making God liar. The beliey
er believes because he sees that the thing il
so the unbeliever assents and admits be-
cause unable to justify denial.
True, there is great danger of imagining
that we believe the testimony when We dc
not. But is this any reason why we should
think it necessary to believe something lif
ferent? If our faith in God is deficient
can it be improved by adding to it faith il
ourselves?
Be content then, with "one believing,
which alone is necessary. May the Hol.
Spirit use these simple words to open tn,
eyes of some so as to be able to say, Yes
see it now. | see it all. | am amazed a
the divine simplicity of the Gospel.
thought that my faith was to have at leas
some little connection with self, but now
see that it is Gods Word alone with whicl
it has to do. Him that cometh unto me
| will in nowise cast out. is indeed swee
and precious declaration 0, how | ador
and love the author of it If Jesus save
like this, my fears are gone forever"

Extempofe Speaking.

An English writer, on this subject says,
with great truth and propriety, that no
amount of self-reliance ought ever to lead
any one to dispense with due preparation and
well digested outline of what the subject
should embrace. For thus it comes to pass
that many men who fancy they have at.
tanned the fame of preaching when they can
talk on any subject at moments notice,
are the very men the world points at when it
wants to find Illustrations for the theory that
even clever men become tedious in extern
pore sermons, and that therefore it should
be abandoned. One of the greatest prof.
clients in extempore speaking, one whose
reputation rests on many years experience,
bore testimony to this, saying that homilies
which seemed to flow so easily from his lips
as to appear to the listener to be born ON
the occasion, had cost nim many hours la
borious preparation and earnest prayer
"The coinage cannot be good if the mint
be empty"
DR.. Arnold says the teachers mind should
resemble lake fed by running stream;
and never allowing itself so lie atagnant.
eff full man, says Prof. Blunt, sis
required anywhere, it is in the minister of
the church, who is fixed to the same spot
tbe whole year round. Nothing short of a
large magazine to draw from, will suffice for
these frequent demands; and without it the
thread of his speech will soon run out the
staple of his argument, and, instead of a
preacher, he will become a 8pin,text."

ALL THE DISCOVERIES OF THE BIBLE will
have this to commend them, that they speak
to US in. the language of personal friendship
and love. They come laden with messages
from the heart of the great God, and as his
truths are new his compositions which are in
them "are new also every morning. -
When he opens our eyes to see his greatness
it is like the chariOts and horses of fire
ranged on the surrounding mountains for our
safety, and when he reveals the tenderness
of his character, it is, like the well revealed
to Hagar in the desert, ready for our conso-
lation. Of all the new things which his
Word has promised, let US desire first that
new heart which insures the new eyesight.
1t is brought nearer to US than ever before,
by him who has come as the life of men that
he may be their light. John i: 4.

advantage.

between the depot, in front of the Logan
House, and the grounds, every half hour

SERIOUS SHOOTING AFFAIR.
TWO WOMEN The VICTIMS.

Yesterday morning young barber Of
this city, named Daniel Deitrick, went
cunning out toward the mountains north
Of Harrisburg. After a day had been
nearly spent in this manner, with very
Indifferent success. he faced about, it
appears, and moved toward town. Near
the stock yards, and above old Camp
Curtin, he met a trio Of persons, with
whom he engaged in conversation. Their
names have since been ascertained to be
james M'Carty. Mrs. Kate Casey and
Annie White, the two latter being VIC
tins in the affair which the heading of
this article suggests. The conversation
at one time, we are told, turned upon the
barber's and M'Carty's adeptness As
marksmen. Upon this topic they could
not agree, and the question was cut short
by Deitrick offering to shoot M'Carty's
hat if the latter would hold it over his
head which offer was not accepted. The
conversation then turned upon other mat
tiers, and was of such q character as to
displease the women, who started to walk
away, with M'Carty between them. They
had gone but few steps when Deitrick
called out that he was going to shoot at
them; but they walked on, thinking the
threat would not be carried out. A
number of boys happening in the vicinity
saw Deitrick aiming and called upon the
party to dodge. M'Carty did so; but
the women instead turned their faces in
the direction of the barber, who fired with
such precision that both females received
parts of the contents of the gun about
their necks aud faces. The barber start
ed off on run and was soon out of sight
The women were carried to the Stock
Yard Hotel, and DR.. Won Tagen was
to their aid. He found, on
examination, that Miss White had had
one eye shot out. and also received other
injuries Of serious nature. A number
of the shot had lodged in the face and
neck of Mrs. Casey, but none of the
wounds received by her were considered
The shot taken from the
wounds appeared to be of the size known
as No. 7.
The city authorities were notified of
he circumstance early last evening, and
At about eight o'clock Daniel Deitrick
was arrested on Third street by officers
Best and Davidson, and after a prelimi-
nary hearing was committed to prison to
appear before the Mayor sometime here
after. He gave quite different story to
hat related above, but the evidence was
SO convincing, the Mayo5 resolved to hold
him as aforesaid
Daniel Deitrick is well known in this
,ity, and has been in the employ of one
Or two of our most prominent BARRIERS for
several years. So far as we can learn,
ne has heretofore been looked upon as
Iuiet. well behaved young man. He is
