For THE CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN
To the Churches of Greenbrier Presbytery.

Dear Brethren In answer to our appeal last
year, you more than doubled your contributions to
the cause of Sustentation. This has enabled the
Presbytery to sustain proportionatey large mum,
Der of laborers in the field. AS the result several
new churches have been organized, and members
brought into the fold Of Christ, and new fields are
opening for our occupation. With these facts be-
fore us we hope we shall not ask in vain for your
continued and enlarged support. The blessing Of
God upon past efforts and his opening the way be-
fore us, is manifest call for increased effort. We
ought to raise at least So 600 for this year, and We
can easily accomplish it if all will do their part
We request church officers to endeavor to induce
each of their members to contribute according tt
their ability a certain sum weekly during the
months of January, February, and March. If they
will give an average of % cents per week, it vii
meet all demands. Let each member give some
thing if it is only one cent per week, and the good
work will 90 forward. Remember that this is ar
effort to sustain and build up churches within oul
own bounds.
Yours fraternally,
JAMES Fl. LEPs,
JAMES WTTHRow,

The Family Religious Paper.

If we would estimate to the full the value and
influence of the paper we must follow one Of them
Deposited in the Post office, it reaches an Office a
hundred miles away in some rural town. There
being called for, it is taken to the home in which
it is the only paper received. 1t comes to the in
mates freighted with almost the only intelligence
they have from the great world abroad, Its weekly
visits are anticipated with interest and hailed with
delight. 1t is read thoroughly by every member
of the family, and before the next number comes
is carefully folded and laid away to be preserved.
Now who can estimate the influence Of such a
weekly visitor in such home And how great
the responsibility of the editor of that paper for
the character Of that influence. Does it teach the
truth? Are there no advertisements, no para
graphs. no extracts of an immoral or infdel ten
dency? Is there nothing in any of its columns
that will prove injurious to young and contiding
minds? An editor, so it seems to me, might al
most tremble as he reflects that every paragraph
he writes or admits and sends forth, will be read
and exert its influence in thousands OF such homes,
that his paper is perhaps the mightiest moulding
influence in these homes Watchman and Re.

The Columbia Theological Seminary,

The attention of the friends of the Seminary is
directed to one of its departments, connected with
the comfort of the students, which they can easily
aid 1t is the Boarding Hall, which is under ex-
cellent management, but always needing supplies;
and if these shall be gratuitously furnished, the
cost of board will thereby be greatly diminished.
A larger number of students is in attendance than
at any time since the war; and there is at least this
evidence that God has blessings in store for his
Church. At this season of the year. the members
of our churches and congregations DESTROYS of aid
ing them can furnish supplies for their table more
easily perhaps than at any other time. Such sup
plies we would solicit for them from all disposed to
aid in this manner. Meats, poultry, -four meal,
rice, corn, peas, potatoes and other vegetabes-in
short, whatever is needed for the table-wil be an
important aid to them, and will be thankfully re-
ceived. What has been done in this way in former
years is gratefully remembered, and there never
has been greater need of such assistance than at
the present moment Whatever can be thus sent,
should be addressed to the Rev DR.. Plumer, for
the Theological Seminary, Columbia, S. G., and
if forwarded by the railroads, will receive immedi-
ate attention.
In behalf Of the Faculty:

Sustentation-Annual Collection.
OFFICE OF SUsTENTATIoN, |

OFFICE OF SUSTENTATI0N,
COLUMBIA, S. O., Dec, 18th, 1871.
To tie Ministers, Elders, DeaconS, and
Members of the Church.:
Respected Christian Brethren: The time for
taking up the annual collection for Sustentation is
near at hand, and it becomes necessary for me to
lay before you few statements in relation to the
condition and wants of this important cause As
it contemplates the three-fold object of assisting
in sustaining feeble churches, furnishing the means
for carrying on the missionary work and aiding in
church-erection, you need scarcely be reminded
that it is Of the most important objects Of be-
nevoence that can be presented to your attention,
and at the same time calls for the exercise of the
largest llberality on the part of all those who love
and pray for the welfare of our beloved Zion.
The Assembly at its last meeting directed the
Presbyteries and the Central Committee to make
the effort during the present ecclesiastical year, to
raise the salary of every laboring minister to the
sum of $500 as the minimum. This is not only an
act Of justice to all ministers who are receiving less
than this, but is equally necessary to the welfare
and prosperity of the churches themselves So
long as ministers are compelled to follow secular
pursuits for the means of support, SO long must
the churches to which they minister be imperfecty
served, whilst others will be left without the ordi-
nances Of the gospel altogether.
The proposed object Of raising all salaries to
$500 as a minimum can easily be effected if the
churches will only act in concert and with hearth
ness. Two things should be kept constantly and.
distinctly in view, viz: lst. all churches or union
of churches under the same pastorate that are
now giving their pastor less than $500, ought to
make an immediate and special effort to reach the
proposed standard or come as near to it as posi-
Bile. I'd. That every church within our bounds,
irrespective of its outward circumstances, con-
tribute as much besides to the general fund as it
possibly can. Many churches which formerly
thought they could not support their pastors with
out help, have found out they could easily do it by
simply exercising little energy aud selfdenial.
Others, we have no doubt, could easily do the
same by resorting to the same measures, and all
such would derive great satisfaction in being raised
from a condition of dependency to that of selfsup
port and independently. 1t is earnestly hoped
therefore that every church within our bounds will
not only make the effort at the beginning Of the
year to provide their minister with comfortable
support, but contribute at the same time as large
y as possible to the general fund. In no other
way can really feeble churches be sustained, or the
work of missions be carried on in accordance with
the demands of the times.
All of which is respectfully submitted on behalf
of the Executive Committee of Sustentation.
j. LEIGHTON WILSON,
Secretary of Sustentation.

FROM THE SOUTHERN STATES.

Revival at Beth Berei Church.-The Rev. Tbos.
j. Stone writes to Christian Observer, from Column
bia Tenn. under date of Dec. l, 1871:
On Saturday last November %, religious SER
vices were begun at Beth Berei, Marshall county,
and protracted FIVE days, which resulted in the adj
dition of fourteen members to the church The
persons added to the church, varied in age from
ten years old up 10 sixty, and some Of them have
such weight and position in the community, that
they can greatly advance the interests of our ZOn
Never have witnessed deeper work of grace in
so brief time. There were no dry eyes ip the sue
cessive assemblages of the occasion. All seemed
with the love Of God, which supremacy possessed
the soul We had the valuable services Of two
able ministers: namely, Rev. j. B. Chapman, Of
the Smyrna church, Nashville Presbytery and
our own indefatigabe evangelist, Rev. w. III. Yer
nor. Both preached with an earnestness and
power that went directly to the heart, and held
and commanded its emotion. Long and precious
will be the memory of this revival meeting
Revival in Mount Zion, Ark-Rev. j. NJ. Brown,
of Relfs Bluff Ark, writes as follows: For
while Mount Zion has been enjoying the favor Of
the Master. At different times during the fall
sixteen have been added to her numbers by pub
lie profession of their faith in Christ. Seven OF
these received the sacrament of baptism. The
congregation is much reyiyed-tbough mourning
the loss of DR.. R. B. Harper, an elder Prince
in Israel.
Rev. ]. H. CARTRIDGE was recently installed pastor
of Thyatira church, Ca, for part of his time
Rev. ?. G. Morton preached the sermon, presided
and propoundnd the constitutional questions Rev.
T. P Cleveland delivered the charge to the pastor,
ard Rev. w. 2. Harrison, alternate TO Rev. II.

Rev. J. H Fitzgerald has resigned the pastor al
charge of the Church at Nicholasville, KY, AID
returned to Buckingham county, Va, with i'm
paired health.

terry, has been engaged Tor the mission work at

The Synod of Mississippi met in Vicksburg,
November 9th, and was opened by invitation with
a sermon by Rev, j. A. Lyon, d. D. Rev. Mr..
Markham was chosen Moderator. Rev. Dr. Shear
er and Rev. Mr.. Bryson were there from the
Synod of Nashville, and addressed the body on
the subject of Collegiate Education. A paper was
adopted in which, after referring to the disaster
which had overtaken number of their institu'
tons, and the impoicy of endeavOrng to keep
them up in a anguishing condition, and the neces
sity OF combining and concentrating, the following
resolutions were adopted:
As first step in this direction, the appointment
by the Synod of Nashville of permanent COM
mission to confer with coterminous Synods appears
to US as eminently WISE
1t is therefore resolved,
l. That this Synod appoint similar commission
of three persons, to confer with that appointed by
the Synod of Nashville and to cooperate with it III
bringing this subject before the other Synods in
the West and South west
2 That this Synod is prepared to unite with
that of Nashville, Kentucky, Memphis and Of Ala
bama in the projection and support Of an iustitu.
tion which shall be common to them all These
SynodS being at present without any College In &C
tive operation under their care, except that Of
Nashville, which has initiated this movement.
8. That the Commission appointed by this body
shall report the progress which shall be made in
receiving cooperation. The question of location
of such institution being open for future debera-
iton, and also the manner in which it shall be
managed and controlled.
B. NJ Palmer D. D., Rev. Robert Price Rev.
A. 2. Smith, were appointed as the Committee.
Measures were taken for selling Oakland College.

THE EASTERN SHORE OF VIRGINIA.


The counties of Northampton and AccO-
mac constitute a peninsula about seventy
miles in length, with an average of about ten
in width. 1t has fat surface, with a soil
more than commonly fertile for land lying
along the sea coast, very susceptible of i'm
prOyement and Astounding in materials by
which it may be fertiized. There is prOba-
bly, no white population in the United States
more homogeneous, and none more thorough
" Viginian in opinion and feeling. The
means of living well are very abundant, In
GLIDING such fish and oysters as might tempt
an epicure. The habits of the people have
always been eminently social and hospitable.
While there are many who are not connected
with any church, there is general good will
towards religious institutions, and worthy
ministers of the gospel are received and
treated with marked respect. There are two
churches in this section, belonging to East
Hanover Presbytery, one in each county, and
both now vacant. The Mackenzie church at
Drummondtown, in Accomac, has twenty
three members, and is probably the Oldest
Presbyterian organization in North America.
When attending the meeting of the Preaby-
terry there last spring we read with deep in
terest, in the Clerks office, the last will and
testament of that noble minister of Christ,
Francis Mackenzie, the pioneer Of Presbyte-
rianism in this country.
The Holmes Church, near Cherrystone, in
Northampton, was organized in 1916. The
Rev. ]. D. Thomas, now of Wytheville, who
was pastor Of this church for about ten years,
land for nearly the same period pastor of the
other alsO,) was instrumental in building it
up considerably, and is remembered by the
people with much affection. One of the stu.
dents Of Union Theological Seminary, (Mr.
Rose, Of North Carolina spent his vacation
with them last summer, in labors which
proved very acceptable and edifying. Dur
ing a visit we were enabled to make to this
church on last Sabbath week, neat and
comfortable house of worship was filed, both
in the morning and at night, with congrega-
tons large and attentive, and in every re-
speet such as made it most pleasant service
to minister to them. 1t is gratifying to find
that in the absence of pastor they do not
forsake the assembling of themselves to-
gether, as the manner of some is. The
Sabbath School and the prayer meeting were
kept up during all the troubles Of the war,
when their pastor was chaplain in our
army, and it is the same now. 1t is to be
earnestly hoped that these two churches may
soon be supplied with the regular ministra-
tiOns of the gospel. But in the meantime
much may he done to supply this lack OF
service, and notking would be 3 greater en-
enlargement to good man to settle among
them than to find that they are standing fast
with one mind, striving together for the faith
Of the gospel"

Rev. G. o. Ba1nes.-The Presbytery of Tran
sylvania, Ky, has taken final action in this case,
in which it orders the name Of the Rev. G. o.
Barnes to be stricken from the roll, and withdraws
from him al authority derived from its ordination,
to exercise the functions of the ministry of the
gospel, and prohibits all such exercise in the
churches under its care
The offence Of Mr.. Barnes consisted in declara-
tons made by him n the presence Of the Presby-
terry some time ago, in which declarations he i'm
peached the sOunduess Of doctrines taught in the
standards Of bis church, explicitly rejected them,
and irreverenty asSaled the accepted canon Of sa-
cred Scripture" The Presbytery dealt kindly and
mildly with him "to1ehing these unbecoming de-
elaTatiOns, and also touching certain decisions en-
tertaned By him, all Of which excited the gravest
apprehensions for his usefulness; hoping by such
forbearance and afectonate remonstranee to avert
the necessity Of judicial process, and reclaim brother
Barnes adherence to the Church standards, re-
store him to the confidence Of the Church, and
save his usefulness as minister Of the gospel -
Il is to be regretted that Mr.. B. treated the whole
proceedings Of his Presbytery with contempt, and
no other course was left than the one indicated
above.

Influence of Missions.

For wise reasons, which perhaps we may not
fully comprehend, the work of the disciples was,
at the beginning confined to the land Of the Jews;
but the parting command of Christ go We into
all the world and preach the Gospel to every crea
ture" has always been held as a divine warrant
for the adoption Of different policy. At any rate,
it is plain that the apostles themselves so under
stood it. Very soon after the death Of Christ,
they entered upon their grand missionary opera
tons in Western Asia and Eastern Europe--push-
ing out into regions which, with their facilities OF
communication were far more remote from Pales'
tine than China and Japan are from this country,
encountering obstacles and perils far more serious
than any which the missionaries Of this day are
called to confront, and gaining, By this aggressive
warfare upon the kingdoms of evil the brightest
successes that have ever been won for Christianity
During the succeeding ages, those periods in
which the churches have preserved the most vlgor-
Gus life, and in which they have exerted the great
est influence upon the communities in which they
were planted, have been precisely those periods in
which they were most active in the work OF carry
ing the Gospel beyond their own borders. The
communities in which there is most interest in for
eign missions, are in communities in which the
work of home evangelization is most thoroughly
DONE This religion of Jesus Christ is commod'
ity of which the more there is exported the more
there is left The church from which a young
man goes to China, is sure to catch something OF
the heroic conservation that leads him to devote
his life to this high purpose sure to become less
sordid and more Christ-like in its aims, and to en-
ter with better devotion into all the work that
comes within its reach There is nofttter way of
securing vigorous prosecution of our home mis-.
sionary work than by pushing with all enthusiasm
our Christian work in the foreign field.
