Service for All.

The Christian Secretary in an editorial
quotes and endorses the following excellent
sentiments:
The late DR.. Murray, so we'll known over
the signature of "Krwan, said that in his
youth he met an old disciple, ninety-one
years of age; and, in taking leave, the ven-
erabIe pilgrim left with his young friend
charge, which he had never forgotten: "Do
all the good you can, to all the people you
can, in all the ways you can, and as long as
you can" If that rule Or. James Hamil-
ton adds, were carried out by each Chris
tian, it would soon change the face of society.
If you, who are the Christian member of the
family, were setting watch over your lips,
and were in all things wise, gentle, obliging,
self.denying, high toned, few in the house
hold could withstand the quiet, persistent
sermon; and if the Christian households of
the land were as peaceful as they are pure
If the several inmates were fairminded, kind
hearted, mutually helpful,-if, in the school,
the market, the social gathering, the various
members lived up to the level of their morn
ing and evening worshp,-there would soon
be poor chance for the infdel; apOlogetics
might become an obsolete science; with such
church in every house, the synagogue of
Satan would disappear from the land.

foolishly conclude that they are petted, in
dulged, and left to take their own course in
consequence of their superior wisdom and
goodness. "Surely," the little urchin says
to O'himself, "surely, father and mother would
not defer to my judgment and taste as they
do, as to dress, company, teachers and stu
dies, if they did not think that I know more
than they-and if this be so, then surely |
am prodigy.
Let this consideration influence parents to
the due exercise of authority, and children
duly to honor and to obey their parents.
Then consider next, the pleasure which
this course affords, first, to the child; an
undutiful, cannot be happy child. God
has so decreed. And next, to the parent
The happiness of parents depends far more
upon the conduct of their children, than up
on any and every other earthly considera-
ton. The meek, the humble, the obedient'
afectionate child is a sun and shield to Its
parents. The conduct of such is perpetual
feast. 1t smoothes the wrinkles and sus-
tains the tottering steps of old age. upon
such child the aged father and mother lean
with confidence and joy surpassed only by
their firm and joyous reliance on the arm OF
omnipotent love. W. D W.

BOOK OF oRDER-sYN0DS.

Shall our Synods remain as now constr
tuted? At present Synods are but large
Presbyteries. But was it always so? Is it
best that they should be as they now are
The meetings of the church sessions are gen.
orally very well attended, and very seldom
is it left to a minority to transact the busl-
ness of this first church court. The Pres
byterieS also are generally very well attend
ed by both ministers and elders, and only In
few cases are the majority of the ministers
absent, and frequently majority of the
elders are present at the Presbytery. So
also it is at the meeting of the General AS
sembly. But when we come to Synods we
find that it is only occasionally the majority
of the ministers are present, and very seldom
do we find majority of the churches rep
resented by their elders. The Synods were,
we think, as we'll if not better attended the
last fall than they have been the past ten
years. Yet it is said majority Of the
Synod of Virginia were absent. So also
South Carolina, and all of the other Syn
DDS, so far as we have seen any report from
them. Indeed, some did not have even one
third present, as Georgia, Kentucky and
Texas.
Now can anything be done to have our
Synods better attended by ministers and
elders? The Lord by Jer. vi: 16, tells us
to task for the old paths, the good way, and
walk therein" cit appears from Rush
worth and Hetherington that according to
the form of Government adopted by the
Westminster Assembly, the Synod was a
delegated body" The Westminster Assem-
bly,, held this view, that Presbyteries should
choose representatives to form the Synod
very much as we now do to form the General
Assembly. Might not the Church in this
way remodel the Synods so that they would
be much better attended e? 1t is sad to say,
that so far as we have been able to learn,
there was not single Synod in our Church,
this fall and winter, that had majority of
the ministers and elders present. This
ought not to be. If any one can point out
way in which this important court of the
Church can and will be as well attended as
the other courts, while constituted as at
present, let it be done; if not, restore the
Synod to the Westminster,-the Apostolic
model. PRESENTER.

The American Ministry.
BY REV. JOHN HALL, D. D.

Let the American ministry sink, and it is
national loss that cannot be over estimated.
America has a noble array of ministers
names on her historic rolls, and she has
reaped the benefit. They made her in great
part what she is. IF we have read her his
tory Alright, they wrote her books. They
made her literature. They edited her pa
pers. They founded her educational insti-
tutions. They carry them on for the most
part even yet. They formed her public opin'
ion when it was strongest and purest. The
traces of their hands are not wanting even
in her Constitution. A race of men has
arisen-their intellectual progeny-who can
afford to have fling at them, forgetful of
the good rule, "Honor thy father" and
whose days would not be long in the land
were it not for the foregoing labors of those
noble men. America can ill dispense with
well educated, strong minded, high tonedmin-
istry. In older countries the social machin-
cry would 60 on for some time, under the
impulse of preceding centuries. In America
social institutions are in forming. They are
not yet-many of them-crystallized. The
ministry is preeminently needed to keep the
standard of the Divine Word before mems
minds, to purify and elevate public sent-
ment, to educate the people morally, and to
be healthy check upon that spirit which is
incident to all new countries, which, if per-
mitted, would omplacently drive the chariot
of the sun, and if let alone would set the
world on fire, with most admirable disre-
gard of all the consequences, and most
Phaton.like satisfaction with its own mag
nifcent driving-til the thunderbolts came!

Reach the Masses.

Would you reach the masses with the Cos
pel? Then let ministers "preach the word,
in season, out of season." plainly, attrac-
lively, and with divine JUNCTION; watch for
the impression which the word preached
makes, and deepen the impression by pasto-
raj visits and pertinent conversation. Let
professed Christians 90 out among those who
do not attend church, take an interest in
them, secure their good will by deeds of
kindness, and prevail upon them to come to
the sanctuary; gather the children of the
poor and neglected into the Sabbath School,
make it an inviting place for them, win their
hearts. lead them to Jesus, and then use
them as instruments by which to reach and
save their parents. Much may be done by
a iudicious system of tract distribution, map
ping out parishes into districts, calling
monthly upon every family therein, learn
ing their religious state and leaving with
them tract appropriate to their peculiar
necessities. Pray frequently and fervently
that the blessing of God will attend these
efforts; that his word and grace may be glo'
rifed in the salvation of those who are ready
to perish.

The Kind of Simplicity that is Safe

The inspired author Of the CXVIth Psalm
declares that the Lord preserveth the sim
ple;" so that there must be some species of
simplicity-a quality not held in high esteem
among men-which enjoys peculiar immu-
nifty, thus, in virtue Of the divine careful
ness. The Hebrew word is derived from
verb which means "to open" and thence
{" to be open" Hence it acquires the mean
ing of frank, without reserve, artless, easily
to be persuaded, trustful, etc. 1t may there
fore etymologcally mean "simple, in the
i'll sense of being easily led astray; or "sim-
pie, in the noble sense of being ingenious,
rue-hearted, sincere, and easily open to
faith and conviction The connexion makes
it clear that the latter must be the meaning
in which it is introduced into this text.
And a moments consideration will show
why God especially promises to preserve
such simple ones. 1t is the first great pecu-
liarity of this simplicity to put artless, un-
hesitating, ample, unwavering trust in God;
to trust him as the child naturally trusts the
parent, as if there were no other course
open-nothng else that could be done but
that 1t is interesting to note that the trans
lators of the Septuagint rendered this word
by the Greek word for "babes en-
pha8zng the idea of artless confidence and
childlkeness which it contains.
God loves a guileless soul We know very
we'll how appealing, how full of power over
us, is the innocent and unsuspecting reliance
which our little children place in us; and
how it wins our hearts to them to that de-
gree that if we were omnipotent to do what
we liked, and omniscient to be sure that such
doing would be both right and best, we should
never find ourselves able to disappoint their
expectation. la like manner we may feel
that God, as it were, finds it impossible to
allow harm to come to that guleless soul,
which, without planning for its self-nterest,
or cunning, or any secondary motive, with
artess confidence maintains, and under what
ever clouds in the sky, its single and unwav
ering trust in him. Such trust glorifes him.
He loves it, and loves the soul which renders
it. He will keep that soul in perfect peace
which is stayed on hin, because it trusteth
in him. for the Lord preserveth the simple.
Blessed are they, who, having been called
to test this in some day of sorrow, can add
the P8aImist's self-appropriating clause: l
was brought low, and he helped me. He
hath dealt beautifully with me. He has de-
lvered my soul from death, mine eyes from
tears, and my feet from falling

the hope of our hearts. A great change is
yet to come over the earth-so great that 1t
will be new earth. Sin shall be banished
and righteousness shall prevail. But not
one lot or title of this Word shall be changed.
Only when every knee shall bow, and every
tongue shall confess that Christ is Lord, to
the glory of God the Father, shall be ex-
hibited in full the infinite harmony of rela.
tion between the Word of God and His
schemes of providence and of grace.

THE GATHERING HOME.

They are gathering bOmeward from every land,
One by one,
As their weary feet touch the shining strand,
One by one.
heir brows are enclosed in a golden crown,
heir travel stained garments are all laid down.
And clothed in white robes they rest on the mead
Where the Lamb doth love his cho en- to lead,
One by one.
Before they rest they pass through the strife,
One by one;
Through the waters Of death they enter life,
One by one.
To some are the floods of the river still,
As they ford on their way to the heavenly hill;
To others the waves run 6ercely and wild,
Yet they reach the home of the undehled,
One by one.
We too shall come to the river side,
One by one.
We are nearer its waters each eveutide,
One by one
We can hear the noise and dash of the stream
Now and again, through our ite's deep dreams
Sometimes the floods all the banks overflow,
Sometimes in ripplos and small waves go,
One by one.
Jesus, Redeemer, we look unto thee,
One by ones
We lift up our voices trenbingly,
One by one.
The waves of the river are dark and cold;
We know not the place where our feet may hold
Thou who didst pass through in deep midnight,
Strengthen us, send us the staff AMI the light,
One by one.
Plant thou thy feet beside ours as we tread,
One by ones
On thee let us each lean dropping head,
One by one.
Let but thy strong arm around US be twIued,
Wen cast our fears and cares to the wind.
Saviour, Redemer, with thee full in view,
Smiliugly, gIadsomely shall we pass through,
One by one.

For THE CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN.
THE WORKS AND THE WORD OF GOD.

The harmony of relation in nature is
very deep seated principle.
IT, in we'll cultivated portion of the Val
ley of Virginia, an artist takes his stand
upon some eminence, and looks towards the
Blue Ridge, his eye will be conducted along
over the intervening landscape of green
swelling fields and greener wales, and wooded
hill tops, and opening vistas, to the irregu-
lar but symmetrical serrated mountain hori
zon, blue in the distance, and softened by
the morning mist, forming back ground in
such absolute keeping with the picture it
closes up, that one would say that any change
of either would deteroate the total effect.
Could we, however, suppose brother ar
tist to have looked on the same scene two
hundred years ago, before the labor of the
settler had altered single feature of the
original, he would have found the grand
mountains as truly responsive to the total
idea, as they are in this day.
Again, if we imagine another artist, stand
ing on the same spot two hundred years
hence, when increasing population, and adj
vancing civilization shall have taken posses
sion of every foot of ground to the very base
of the mountain, studding the extent with
villages, crowning every hill with houses,
and crowding the whole with the necessities
of busy life, the mountain ck-ground will
rise with only increased effect.
And yet the mountains are the same in
range, in magnitude, in form and color, while
all in front is different. Without change in
themselves they have preserved perfect re-
laton with what has been constantly chang
ing. 80,
If we should make like experiment With
picture of the most eminent painter
changing the foreground, and leaving the
back -ground-what incongruities would start
into view. How incomprehensible the skill
of the Creator, who so ordered the everlast
ing mountains, that they can no more be
thrown out of relation with surrounding
nature, by the changes of time and the work
of men, than they can be moved from the
base on which they rest. So with God
Word. The grand eternal principles o.
Truth, which from its pages tower up tt
heaven, are suited to be the guide, the de-
fence, and the glory, alike of every age an(
every cline. Revealed from the first, though
unwritten, by their obviousness, breadth
and simplicity, they were just what was de
manded, and all that was demanded for th'
Patriarchs.
When uttered in fire, and recorded OF
stone, on Sinai, they seemed specially mean

For luck is work.
And those who shirk
Should not lament their doom,
But yield the play,
And clear the way

In drudging after gain,
And he is sold who thinks that gold

For station high.

Not oft eontentment brings.

To bring prolonged sueeess,
