of the country, North and South, and deep

of the country, North and South, and deep
feeling of grief pervades the land.
No such calamity in time of peace has
fallen upon Richmond since the memorable
night of December Goth, 1911, when the
fire which consumed a crowded theatre spread
mourning over the State. The fatality now
is far greater than then, especially consider
ing the numbers exposed to danger. Those
in the Court room and in the Hall below
could not have exceeded three hundred; of
these about seventy were killed, and more
than hundred wounded. A fatality SO
great is rarely witnessed.
The statement we have given of this
mournful scene carries its solemn lessons
on it's own bosom. We shall not undertake
to enlarge upon them. The afliction is very
heavy; the heart bleeds to think how sud.
denly it came, and how awful was its charac-
ter. May it be sanctifed to the righteous,
and awaken the thoughtless. How dreadful
to be called to meet God unprepared If
this event shall be the means of bringing
men to repentance, and leading all to hum
BILE themselves "under the mighty hand of
God" sad as it is, yet joy may spring out
of sorrow and life out of death. 1t is with
great propriety that to-day this afflicted city,
according to the recommendation of the
Governor of the Commonwealth, presents
itself before the throne of the Almighty in
humiliation and in prayer.

A RIGHT CONFESSION.

The Ne,o York Tribune publishes letter from
a Roman Catholic who is opposed to having the
Bible read in public schools The reasons he as.
signs against its use are candid confession of the
views held by Romanists concerning the Bible,
and we are very willing to admit that it is just
what the writer says, "the foundation, the corner
stone, the superstructure, the inside and outside,
the length, width, height and depth OF the Pro.
testant system" If Roman Catholics, would al.
ways come as near the truth in speaking of Pro.
testantsm, it would be under great obligations for
the favor. The admission here so fully made is an
important one, and we agree entirely with the
writer 1t is certainly true that the free use of
the Bible is the most damaging thing Romansm
has to deal with and if it wishes to flourish it
must leave nothing undone to suppress that dan
gerous document Let Protestants read the fol
lowing extract from the Tribune:
1.-THE Bible is the chief and sole source of Pro
tesant beliefs; it is the potent weapon Of the Pro
testant power Great societies are established to
print and circulate it; these support multtudes of
agents, and spend millions of money every year in
this prominently Protestant mode of evangelizing
nom Christians, and of perverting Catholics. The
most powerful engine OF Professionalism is the BIZ
bic. The Bible, the whole Bible, and nothing but
the Bible, is the slogan and watchword of the Pro
testant cheftans. In the Bible is the foundation,
the corner stone, the superstructure, the inside
and outside the length, width, hight, and depth
of the Protestant system. Now you have put this
tremendous instrumentalitv this chiefest thing in
your religious system, into the Public Schools
By so doing you have Protestantized them you
have put them in specific opposition to Catholic
principles"

OFFICE FOREIGN MISSIONS, |

Columbia, 3. y.
Respected Christian Brethren,-The first Sab
bath in May, or as soon thereafter as may be found
convenient and practicable, is the time appointed
by the General Assembly for taking up collections
in all our churches for the cause of Foreign Mis-.
sions. You need scarcely be reminded that this is
one of the most important objects of benevolence
that can be presented to your consideration. We
have missionaries laboring in China, in Brazil, in
the United States of Columbia, in Italy and in
four of the principal tribes in the Southwestern
Indian Territory, all Of whom are entirely Deepen
dent upon the contributions of the churches not
only for their support but for the means of carry
ing on the various departments of the great work
in which they are engaged 1t is also expected
that several new missionaries will be sent out dur
ing the year, the outfit, passage and other neces-
sary expenses of whom must necessarily augment
the general outlay very materially. After careful
examination of the matter, it is supposed that at
least S35, 900 will be needed to meet the expenses
of the year. The Treasurer has found it necessary
to authorize the missionaries in the different coun.
tries referred to, to draw upon him from time to
time for the funds necessary to carry on their work,
and he must be able to meet these drafts as they
become due, otherwise the credit of the Commit
tee will become impaired at the outset, and this
may prove source of embaga for years to
come.
The funds of the Missionary Treasury were very
much increased the last year by the collections
taken up in connexion with the. monthly concert
of prayer. If the observance of this season of
prayer was generally adopted by the churches, and
collections taken up at the same time, there would
be no occasion for anxiety about the financial af-
fairs of the treasury.
In bonds of Christian affection,
j. LEIGHTON WILSON,
Secretary of Foreign Missions.

lege; and further TO SO amend the charter as to

amendments.

Is. Seven ministers and eleven ruling elders were

Rev. N. z. Graves was chosen Moderator, and
Rev. S. Fl. Isler and W. j. Boney, Clerks.
Rev. HI. B. Burr, of Baltimore Presbytery, was

agent to raise $1,000, if practicable, and if not
$500, as an evangelist fund, for the purpose of

Presbytery of Montgomery

Met at Falling Spring, Rockbridge Co., April
Goth, and was opened with sermon by Rev. w.
W. Houston, from Ephesians iv: 5.
Ten ministers and seven elders were present.
A call from the church of Liberty to Rev. j. G.
Shepperson was presented and placed in his hands,
This subject gave rise to considerable discussion
Mr. Shepperson being in doubt as to the path Of
duty, for the present the matter was laid on the
table.
Reports on Evangelistic labor were read from
various members, and committee appointed to
re,arrange the missionary fields.
Sesslonal reports from eleven churches were re-
celved, while many were not represented.
From the churches reporting we gather that
there has been but one special work OF grace but
in many cases steady advance IN all the elements
of activity and increase. But the number Of va
cant churches is, of course, source OF weakness
and alarm to the Presbytery.
Statistical reports we're received and read from
eleven churches, showing in many cases very
commendable degree of liberaty, and in others a
woful neglect of duty in this respect.
Reports from the Sunday Schools gave very
gratifying account Of this important work; al
though there were many churches from which nc
reports were received.
Commissioners to the General Assembly-Rev
P I. Penick and elder Robert G. Mcclure.
BOok Of Order.-A majority and minority re
port was made, and the latter was adopted as fol
lows
Whereas the General Assembly at its las
meeting held in the City of Mobile, May, 1859
directed that the Book of Church Order proposed
as a substitute for the present Form of Government
and Book of Discipline, be sent down to the Pres
bytGries for their consideration and the expression
of opinion thereon; therefore
"Resolued, That although some amendments tt
the old book might be acceptable yet such are the
changes proposed in this Revised Form, and sucl
seems to be the diversity of opinion in regard tt
its merits, and such the useless expense of con
tDual publication of revised editions, that we, a
a Presbytery. prefer the present Form of Govern
ment and Book of Discipline as framed by thu
fathers and interpreted by successive Acts Of AS
sembly.
" Resolved That, with these views, we would
respectfully request the General Assembly to in
definitely postpone the further consideration of tn
subject, which, to our minds is calculated to dis
turb the harmony of the church, and to prove de
trimental to its highest and hottest interests
Then the following amendment was adopted:
Resotced That notwithstanding this action, i
the General Assembly should find that a majorit
of the Presbyteries are in favor of further dis
cussion of the subject, then this Presbytery woul,
respectfully submit the following amendments t.
the Revised Book of Order.
Further proceedings will be given when received
