surprising that the operations of his
mind were materially influenced by
these causes. and that some of his pc
culiarities, both of thought and feel

Robertson was animated apparently
by the purest motives. and there is
a vigor of thought. depth of feeling,
and originality of expression. in his
sermons, addresses and essays which
charm all who study and become ia
milliar with them. It seems to US it
must be Christian of uncertain or
slckly growth that would be ship
wrecked by Robertsons teachings.
Doubtless there are some things in
his book that all Christians will not,
can not, subscribe to. But the same
may be said Of every theologian who
has ever presumed to instruct the
people on questions pertaining to the

is to come. Yet that is not regarded

The Jea0ish Messenger, the leading
Israelite paper IN this country, strong
~ protests against the funeral pomp
into which the Jews of this country
have fallen, aud calls upon them to
return 10 their former simplicity in
the conduct of the burial service.
THERE are In the United States
about sixty one thousand ministers OF
all denominations. Their average sal
airy per annum is computed to be
about 500. This would make $42,
100000 annually paid by the Ameri-
can churches in clergymen's salaries.
Census returns show that through
out the Kingdom of Prussia Protes-
tantism is on the gain. During the
last nine years the number of Roman
Catholics in PomeIania and the Saxon
provinces has positively decreased, and
there is not single district in which
their increase is proportionate TO the
growth of the population.

THE Christian Union. H. w.
Beecher's organ, thus discourses up
on Common Sense for Minister'S
Wives"
People think that the Minister'S
wife sustains relations to her hus
bands people analogous to his OVID,
involving the duties of frequent visit
ing of practitioners. leading the mem
bers Of flock in all their religious
and charitable undertakings, etc.
She must keep open house. The par
sonage is church property, and must
be made a convenience, a common
ground where all the people from Mr..
Creisus to Mr.. Lazarus may meet on
an equal footing. She must place
her time at the disposal of others.
"One wants always to feel welcome
at the pastors house." said a good
woman TO me once. Which, trans
lated, literally means, I'VE cannot
run into everybody's house unceremo-
niously at all sorts of hours. But the
pastors wife is common property,
&c.
l claim that there is not one soil
tary thing that woman should do
solely because she is a minister's wife.
l claim that her life should be gov
erned by precisely the same principle
that ought to govern every other
Christian woman. Mark the word
| say Christian.
Like every other person, she has
her home duties and her outside
duties. OF these, the home duties
should first be discharged, and one of
the most imperative is to keep sacred
the household priUacy.

synod of indiana.

The Synod of Indiana, South, met
at Franklin, on Thursday of last
week. and continued over the Sab
bath Its territory embraces the
Southern half of the State, or all the
Presbyterian Churches which lie
south of the northern boundaries of
the counties. crossed by the old Ma
tional road. 1t comprises one hun
bred and sixteen ministers and one
hundred and forty churches.
There were present as Ministers
and Elders, as members of this ses-
sion Of Synod, one hundred and sixty.
There was special significance in its
meeting at franklin, as it was at this
place the division of the old Synod of
Indiana occurred 10 1888. The two
branches of the Presbyterian Church.
Old and New, came together on
Thursday last, in the utmost spirit of
harmony and Cancellation, and fully
impressed with the Importance of the
work to be done by the reunited
Church.
The opening sermon on Thursday
night was preached by Rev. Up.
Kumler, Pastor of the Walnut Street
Presbyterian Church, of this city;
and it is highly spoken of as an elo-
quent and masterly argument and ex-
hOrtation in favor of the aggressive
work of the Church. On Friday
morning thesynod was formally or
ganized by the election of Rev. George
G. Hickman, President of Hanover
College. as Moderator.
Much of the time of the Synod was
necessarily taken up in the adoption
of rules for its government, as this.
was the first meeting of the new body.
Friday evening reunion was held,
over which the Rev. James Fl. John
son, of Charlottesville, presided. Mr..
johnson came to Indiana in 1922.
when there were but eleven Presbv-
terrain ministers in The State, and
preached the first Presbyterian ser
mon ever delivered in johnson Coun-
ty. He was present at the time of THE
dissolution of the Synod of Southern

valuable accession to any library.
There can be no doubt that the mum
Der of Mr.. Robertson's readers has
been greatly multiplied in conse-
quence of the assaults upon him by
the so-called orthodox press of the
country. They are anxious to
learn from his own pen, the peculiar
views and opinions on religious sub
jects, which have resulted in SO much
adverse criticism on the part of
those who assume to be regarded as
the custodians Of the true doctrines.
We dare say many, if notmos., oftbese
readers will be at a loss to discover
anything detrimental to religious
faith or practice in Mr.. Robertson's
deliVerances, and will experience yet
greater difficulty in ascertaining salts
factorily what all the pother is about,
by which the attempt has been made
to frighten them from reading the
dangerous book. Mr.. Robertson

the new President of Hanover Col
lege:
DR.. Hickman, from the position he
occupies as President of Hanover
College and from the position accord
ed him by reclamation as presiding Of
icer over the Synod, we may conclude
him to have been the leading man
present. But DR.. Hickman is not a
great man. He is not profound man /;
he is simply a quick, ready. smart,
talented man. He is considerably
under the ordinary height, has heal
thy stomach, an active liver, and is In
the enjoyment Of as good degree of
health, / should think, as often falls
to the lot of professional men. He
has a pleasing, benevolent, hon
est, earnest face; bright,
full eye, we'll shaped head, aud the
most unclerical Of chin boards,
full mouth of good teeth, broad
chest and a musical voice; is a good,
ready of-hand speaker. and Looks to
be not day over thirty five. When
we look at him and hear him, we are
tempted to accord him a higher de-
gree OF intellectual ability than we
are, after learning that he is nearly
fifty years old. A man of thirty-fve
can grow more you know, than one of
forty FIVE or fifty. Aud yet, with the
real genuine snap which the Doctor
possesses, I am not sure but that he
is the right man in the right place at
Hanover. This college is not out of
the woods yet, but has to be built up,
and it requires more of tact and
shrewdness, the very things which he
has, than it does of old fashioned doc
torial thought.

occurrence.
An able report was read by Rev. h.
A. Edison, of indianapolis, and
adopted. which contained practical
regulations for making the future
meetings of Synod more profitable
and interesting, recommending that
they partake some of the character of
the popular Convention system, and
providing for attention to dry details
of business by Committees. By this
programme it is expected that the
subsequent meetings of Synod will be
more inspiring to the members. and
more interesting to the public.
The most important subject before
the Synod, and that which attracted
the greatest interest, was Home Mis-
sions, and the pressing demands upon
the Church within the bounds OF
this Synod. Rev. Henry Little, DID,
was recommended to the Board as
Synodical Missionary, with the under
Il
standing that he was to equally divide
/ his time between the four Presby'
teriea. All the Churches were in
structed to make their collection 70,

PUTNAM's MAGAZINE for Novem-
Der bids farewell to its readers in its
old form and name. Heneeforth it
will be transformed into the new pub
LEGATION to be known as Scri6ner's
Magazine. The cause of the failure
of PufaaB'S is III ,ged that It's con-
ductOrs aimed too high, and without
the limits of popular taste. This is
not fattering to American readers,
and we are not prepared to admit that
it is strictly correct. That it failed to
meet with the patronage freely accord
ed hts competitors. cannot justly be
attributed to the low standard of
popular taste, though it may be to
the want of ability on the part of the
publishers TO correctly understand
the popular wants.
The November number of Putnam
is we'll calculated to leave the most
pleasant impressions of the old Put
nam. for the periodical has, to the
very last, sustained a high literary
standard. We shall miss its monthly
visits, but trust that its place will be
more than filled By its successor, the
new EcribRers.
