my friends, if I should, seemingly, step
on ground that you or others may think
does not belong to me; but we are fellow
beings-you are my fellow -man-all are
accountable to the living God for each of
our actions and teachings towards one
another. 1t Is, therefore, my colored
friends, as important to You rs it is to
the rest of MS, that you be intelligcntly
instructed i'll the great truths of the
Christian Scriptures. You will now, as
it were, soon form colony, and by the
assistance o. him who may buy this
homestead. And 1 hope that, of all
your ncighhors, be able to build COM
Portable Westinghouse, where .you can.
and hope will, form n large and re-
spectacle congregation, when, 1 hope,
You will be able to procure an Intelligent
preacher, of either color. It is to be
regretted, my colored friends, that there
are SO few of your OWE color that are
Intelligent in tho Holy Scriptures to
properly instruct you in the great prnci-
pies of the Christian religion. We hope.
however, that tho time is not far distant
when, from the force of proper educa-
ton and pious hearts, many may rise up
among you that will be able to lead you
i'll the true Christian path. My hopes,
III this direction, have been greatly
enlarged, from the fact, which am glad
to state to you, that very recently had
the pleasure of making the personal
acquaintance of General Howard, WI O is
now at the head of tho Educational
Bureau, whom l once took to be my
enemy; and, in the flesh, 1 suppose he
was; but L now rejoice to believe and
receive him as 4 Christian friend-and u
friend i'll the spirit and verify believe
him 20 be Il Christian gentleman. In Il
conversation with him, ho assured me
land L feel that can assure you,) that
he Is not only willing, but anxious, to do
all he can to aid in the proper education
OF your young men for tho ministry
But until such are thus prepared to
instruct you, L earnestly advise that you
procure the services Of some pious and
Intelligent preacher, no difference rs to
what persuasion he may belong, or from
what country he came from-only see
that ho is pious Christian teacher. L
do hope that some ono of those who
have given themselves up to the work of
an evangelist may not only feel that it is
their privilege, but their duty, to bring
to you the glad tidings Of salvation.
Now, my friends, one and oil, let us feel
and know that we are accountable, both
to emo another and to the God that
made us. for both orr words and our
deeds. l know that / an, and will be,
held responsible, not only to my fellow
men. but to the God that rules us all, for
what / have said to you, and for the
motives that have prompted me to do so.
May our Heavenly Father SO guide and
direct you, that you may become proc-
porous. good, great and a happy people !;
to which end let our motto be peace
and goodwill towards all men"

Church Difficulty Settled.

The Rev. J. A. Quarles, Of Lexington, Mo-,
writes to the Missouri Presbyterian, that the con-
troversy about their church property there has
been settled by compromise. We believe that the
Anti-Assemby party, both there and in Kentucky,
were from the first DESTROYS of having all their diff
fculties of this kind settled by an amicabe divi-
sion. Certainly this is the fairest way, and in all
respects the best. Mr.. Quarles says:
"Our entire church property here, including
the house in which we worship and the Elizabeth
Aull Female Seminary, has cash value, sup
pose, of over twenty thousand dollars.
At the time of the division OF the congregation,
over two years ago. we stood related to each other,
numerically, about as three to one.
Some six or eight months since, each congrega-
ton apponted committee of conference, that they
might Jointly agree upon a fair division of the pro-
perry. Their first joint report was accepted by us
and rejected by our Assembly brethren. Since the
Supreme Court decision in the St. Charles cases,
they have submitted another report, which has
been accepted by both congregations.
1t is substantially this: we are to retain posses
sion of all the property, except the church bell,
and to give them five thousand dollars in cash, as
an equivalent for their interest.
Let us give our brethren credit for making an
honest, lust, and Christian settlement, when they
very well knew that, by going to law, they might
have disposSessed us of all. | would love to see
more of the same spirit on both sides in the ad-
iustment of these difficulties.
1t is our hope and expectation to take immediate
steps for the erection of new house OF worship,
which we have long sadly needed.

Forms Again. The remarks of Liberty
do not show any essential difference between US.
Our Church in giving Directory for worship, in
stead of Liturgy of Forms, has plainly enough
indicated its sentiment and policy. If minister
In feeble health or under other peculiar conditions
may feel himself aided by using a prepared form,
whether written or printed, we know of nothing to
forbid it, if it proves edifying and acceptable to
his people. If our recollection is right DR.. Chal-
mers commonly used written prayer before de-
ivering his Theological lecture to his classes, and
perhaps on more public occasions. His talent for
extempore speaking was very small compared with
his other powers. 1t is not probable that DR..
Alexander, Sr., ever used such help in his life.
We cannot quite agree with our correspondent
in the sentence before the last where he says that
"the same assiduous cultivation of personal piety
which guards the soul against ifeless routine
under one system, will guard it equally under an
other"
There may be formality either with or without
forms, and so may there be true spirit of devo-
ton. The question is as to the general tendency
of each. On that point we very much like the
remarks of good Bishop Wilkins in his book
" GIFT of Prayer and the opinion is the more
valuable coming from an Episcopalian, and who
could speak from experience. He says:
Prayer by book is commonly and of itself some
thing fat and dead. floating for the most part In
generalities, and not particular enough for each
several occasion There is not that life and vigor
in it to engage the affections, when it proceed
eth Immediately from the soul itself, and is the
natural expression of those particulars whereof we
are most sensible. 1t is not easy to express what
a vast difference man may find in respect to In
ward comfort and satisfaction, between those prl-
vate prayers that are rendered from the affections,
and those prescribed forms that we say by rOte or
read out of a book.
While by no means asserting that the spirit of
prayer is incompatible with the use of prescribed
form, we cannot help thinking that the superior
advantages which Bishop Wilkins ascribes to pri-
vate prayer ,oithout book, apply for the same
reasons to public prayer also

colleagues. Almost an utter disSinrltarlty dlstln-
cuisines the Christianity of Luther from that OF
Uyprian and yet elements of both are bound to,

"FrOm this source have arisen. from time to

When it is borne in mind that the main object
Of Mr.. Taylor's book is to show, as he does most
clearly, that those very times OF Cyprian, In the
3rd century, which were taken as the ideal
model" for the English Church. were times COM
petely impregnated with some of the very worst
elements of Romanism, no one can be at loss to
understand whether he thinks the Prayer Book
altogether clear of that deadly evil. But other
passages from the same source remain, so full OF
point, energy and eloquence, that we cannot well
forego the privilege of giving our brother in Alex
andra, as well as our readers the benefit of them.
As no room is left for them this week, necessity
laid upon us to give them place in the next issue,
and then, leaving them to be digeSted at leisure
by all whom it may concern, We shall resume the
regular thread of our discussion.

For THE CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN.
Transitive and Intransitive Preachers.

The primary and most important grammatical
division of verbs is into Transitve and Intransitive
This division is made upon the difference C a
substantive idea of different verbs. The secou4sly
divisions into voices and moods depend upon the
difference merely in the mode of the affirmation.
The transitive verb has a substantive idea of SUCH
a nature that it must pass out of the verb, and
over to something else. The very nature Of a
transitive verb is such that it must reach an object
An intranstive verb, on the contrary, cannot pass
over anything to an object-there is nothing in it
to pass out of itself and affect any object.
By analogy, preachers may be divided into Trans
tive and Intransitive
The Transitive preachers sermon, by its very
nature, has reference to an object-it was con-
structed upon the idea of reaching his audience.
Failing in this it fails in everything is nothing.
The transitive preacher feels that he has mes
sage; but message that does not reach those to
whom it is SENT is no message to all The intrans-
tive preacher has prepared his sermon without
this idea. He was engaged in developing an exc
gesis, or constructing an argument, or weaving
brilliant rhetoric. His circle may be of greater OF
less diameter, but it is necessarily included within
its own circumference-th has been no outward
radiation.
The Transtive preacher may often fail-the In.
transitive can never succeed. The Transtive never
fully contents himself-the Intranstive is rarely
dissatisfied.
Of one, the ladies of his congregation may fire.
ouently request the pleasure of reading his beau
tiful discourses-to the other men and women and
dear little children will come sometimes singly, and
sometimes in numbers, to ask, "What must we do
to be saved?'
Baxter and Wesley and Whitedeld and Edwards,
and above ALL Paul, were Transitive preachers
Thank God there are many of this class still living.
There have been also many Intransitive preachers.
Some such there are still-would that they were
fewer. G. l.. @.

Village Church, Charlotte County, Va.

At IA meeting of the congregation of the Village
church at Charlotte Court House, held the 3Oth
day of January 1870 it was resolved, that the dis
solution of the pastoral relation which had existed
for nearly ten years between the Rev. Henry Z.
Alexander, D. D., and this congregation is viewed
with the deepest sorrow by this church.
Called to our church as he was just entering on
his ministry, his early promise of usefulness has
been fully verified, and he has been a worthy sue
cessor to the pulpit blessed by the abors Of his dis
tinguished father and grandfather, whose names
are household words in the Presbyterian Church.
Though the period of his ministry has been one
of unexampled trial and difficulty, yet he ever
stood by, strengthened and comforted his people.
He has faithfully labored with and for them, evil
dencing in the blessing that attended his ministry
that the Master was with him, owning and bless
ing his labors And now that the unanimous
voices of two Synods have called him to one of the
highest positions in the Church. for which he is so
eminently fitted, he leaves people, to whom he is
endeared as but few pastors have ever been to any
people, and respected and beloved by all classes Of
our community.

THE PoPE'S COUNCIL.

Before the assembling of thisb body we published
a good deal concerning it, but have said very little
since The reason is that as all its meetings are
private and the srictest secrecy has beea enjOined
there is nothing yet sseertaired in q raliasl,
1t would have been easy II
the most sensational dispatches and letters Of b
paper correspondents, none of them to be depended
on, and many of them altogether ridiculous. 1t
will probably not be very long before the veil Of
secrecy will to some extent be lifted and the policy
of the Council be discovered in some tangible FORM
So that we may ''speak to it" Should it find it
self under the necessity of conforming to such
views OF liberty and progress of the age as are
founded in truth and righteousness it will seal the
doom of Rome, as it has been long her boast that
she is, tssmper ct ubique eadem) "Qh0ayS and
erery 1ohere the same. -
1t is most probable that the measures of this
famous assembly will be an echo Of the policy to
which the reignipg Pope has by repeated publica,
tons committed himself. If this extreme but
genuinely Romish ground is taken, it will not only
expose that apostate Church to renewed terrible
and damaging assaults from Professionalism, but
will also be attended with the utmost peril of new
secessions in Germany, France, and elsewhere
We shall see.
