The Doctors Astray.

A large and respectable society of physicians
and other gentlemen met in this city last week to
the cure of the inebriate. The amount
of wisdom, experience and observation represented
by the Association makes it presumptuous for a
layman to dissent from their opinions. Yet we
may well hesitate to adopt their declaration that
is disease as truly as yellow fever
or smallpox. That it is greater evil than either
we readily admit; but to affirm it disease in any
such sense, as that in which we speak OF the 9TH
ers, is to the unprofessional mind absurd
OF the moral effect of such decision we need
not here speak, because we not to take effects
into the account when the fact only is in question
But we can easily believe that all sense of moral
responsibility would be destroyed by establishing
the position of these eminent DOCTORS that the
drunkard is simply the victim of Sickness as if he
had been attacked by cholera or colic We do not
believe that any form of disease is under the con-
troll of the will. But the habit Of intemperauce,
until it generates disease, and other disease than
the desire for drink, is controlabe by the will, as
thousands Of cases have demonstrated. The tenn
perance reform, especially that phase of it which
looked to the reformation of drunkards, had its
basis in this principle, and hundreds Of thousands
OF AFFECT drunkards were cured by signing the
pledge. The yellow fever is never cured by such
"a process. A man may pledge himself against the
smallpox, and yet have it thrust upon him in the
street.
We do not doubt there is sense in which the
drunkard is diseased. horribly, and he needs medi-
cal treatment. But his disease is not drunken.
ness. 1t is the result of it. 1t is the effect of
drunkenness, not the cause, nor the thing itself
We think these learned gentlemen, to whom we
look with profound respect, should be careful how
they sanction by their high authority doctrine
that absolves men from moral responsibility, and
puts the drunkard into the category of unfortu-
Dates rather than of criminals where every inc
briate belongs. God treats them so, and has de-
MED them admission into his kingdom, while
heaven is as open to the victims Of disease as to
saints who perish in martyrdom.-N Y Observer.

To the Friends of the Virginia Bible Society.

1t is needless to call your attention to the neces
sity and duty of supplying the restitution of our
own State with the word of God. This depart
ment of Christian effort has been especially com.
mitted to the Virginia Bible Society. Now we
tell you that having cheerfuly accepted the trust
true to her past history she is ready to enter anew
upon, and prosecute this great work. We have
our plans matured and fully organized to do this
work Systematically and thoroughly. Success,
however, will depend in great measure upon the
cooperation and lberality of the friends of the
cause Unless our District Agents meet with a
cordial welcome and their appeals for aid are Sec
onded by pastors, it will be in vain that we have
recommended supplying the destitute of our State
with the Scriptures.
These brethren appointed enter upon their du-
ties hopeful of success. They will visit every
county, and wherever it is expedient organize an
auxiliary Bible Society, and at once raise funds to
purchase stock of Bibles to meet the demands,
and be the special property of that Society. Each
county should raise not less than 500 for this pur
pose. In order to expedite our work we hope the
friends Of this cause will arrange to accommodate
these agents with a union meeting, whenever they
visit the central points, so that an organization
may be effected with as little delay as possible
The field is so extensive, the work so imperative,
that we must economic the time of our District
Agents, by facilitating their movements.
To prosecute this work and meet the demands
made upon the Society, the present year, we shall
need at least $4,000 If each county will raise
500, the sum of $4,000 will be secured. We
feel assured that the friends of the Virginia Bible
Society will cooperate most heartily in the efforts
made to accomplish the grand purpose Of placing
a copy of the Bible in the hands of every man,
woman, and child in our Commonwealth. 1t is
gratifying to be able to state that this Society is
now in more hopeful condition, and is better pre-
pared to prosecute its high mission, than it has
been for years. With the earnest cooperation Of
its friends, the Society will soon resume its former
position of influence and usefulness in the State.

The Installation of Mrs. Inslee and Children
in their New Home.

The donors to the Inslee Fund, and the Church
at large represented by them. will doubtless be
gratlted to know, that Mrs. Inslee and children
have been established in the home purchased Tor
them by the Assemblys Committee, in the town
OF Hazlehurst, Mississippi. By invitation of the
Trustees OF the Presbytery of Louisiana, they had
found since April last, comfortable temporary
residence IN one of their Seminaries at Paquemlne,
La. On the 18th of December, after short visit
to their friends in New Orleans, there were accom-
panied by Mrs. j. b. 9. DOremus on their journey
by the New Orleans, jackson & G. N. L r., to
their destination The Secretary and Treasurer OF
the committee met them on the arrival Of the cars
at azehurSt, on his return from Synod, where a
group of christian friends, gentlemen and ladies
was introduced to her, who Immediately took
charge Of Mrs. lnslee, carriage being in waiting
through the kindness Of Mr.. Meek, for the convey
ance of the children to the residence of Captain
Harris, whittier all were conducted, and invited to
partake of sumptu0us repast After which, Mrs.
Harris and the ladies of her household led Mrs.
Inslee and family to her assigned residence near
by, where all the furniture provided by the COM
mittee (some days before hand,) had already been
arranged by the ladies Of the church. Busy and
willing hands completed all the domestic DISPOSE
tons necessary for comfortable rest that night :;
and the thoughtful hospitality which had welcomed
the beloved family, profered the next morning S
repaSt, and forbade any eXeruon or care till the
domestic arrangements could be fully planned aud
completed. Around the ingle side that night, we
read in Gods holy book Of His mercies, and bowed
in prayer to the giver Of every good and perfect
gift with special thanksgiving that the faith of the
dying father in Gods covenant goodness and his
confidence in the pety OF his Church had found It's
reward in the fulflIment Of the divine command to
leave tdthaless children to Him. and to let the
aoidolo trust in God. The reception given to Mrs.
Inslee and her children, is an augury Of future and
continued tokens Of christian affection from the
good people, aud especially from the membership
of the warm hearted Presbyterian congregation OF
Hazlehurst To the Rev. NJ. W. Trawick the
pastor, and to Mr.. S. T. Rogers an officer of the
church, both valued advisers in all the efforts Of
the committee to procure this home, the thanks OF
the committee are hereby publicly rendered. as
also to Mr.. Sewal, the Superintendent of the Rail
road, who on behalf the company, presented free
passage to Mrs Inslee and family and escort.

East Hanover Presbytery held special meet
ing in Richmond, Dec, %, 1871. The only minis
tiers present were Messrs Brown, Campbell and
Woods Elders j. NJ Allen, Second church Rich
moud, aud VIM. Irvine, HARDWOOD church.
Rev. F. NJ. Woods having presented request
for a dissolution of his pastoral relation to the
HARDWOOD church, and for dismission to Chesa-
peake Presbytery, with view to taking charge of
a church under its care, the HARDWOOD church,
through its commissioner, Mr.. William Irvine,
stated that they unanimously declined to concur in
the application of their pastor and had removed
the chief difficulties under which he labored by
pledging an increase to his salary for the coming
year, and thereby enabling him to con6ne his labors
to one field.
Mr.. Woods, after consultation with the Presby.
terry, expressed his willingness to continue with his
present charge under the altered circumstances.
In view of these facts,
Resolred, That the Presbytery decline to grant
the request for dissolution of said pastoral rea-
ton.
1t is to be regretted that so many members were
absent-the fact being that barely quorum was
present. After careful examination of the whole
case, it seemed very clear to the minds of those
present that Mr.. Woods ought to remain in his
present field. His labors have been much blessed
there, he has won the confidence and warm affec.
ton not only of his own church, but, to an unusual
degree of the community at large Decided pro-
greSs has been made in building up the church
there, and uncommon efforts have been made to
sustain him His removal WOuld prove n sore dis
to the church, and cause vacancy
which it would be very difficult to fill. While

field at Culpeper Court House, to which Mr.,
Woods was invited and hoping that place may not
be left long unsupplied, yet it seemed impossible
to come to any other conclusion than the one men.
toned above. May it be followed by rich blessings
upon the church at HARDWOOD and upon the whole
community

Sturgeon on Evapgelizing.

No question is more vital to Church than how
to best carry on her aggressive work. Especially
when lack of aggressiyeness is most prominent
and deplOred weakness, should ministers and peo'
pie eagerly and prayerfully study any suggestions
that may aid in restoring the Church to her proper
position " at the front" in the advancing " Host
OF Gods elect. " When Church can sustain her
claim to be true Church by saying that, wherever
we are found, we are preaching the Gospel to the
poor, she has the highest proof Of her being a
part of the body of Christ

that we have not enough of the divine method Of
itinerancy. Paul was great itinerant; he preach

there; he made church at once; he did not stop
till he had five hundred; but when he had twelve,
he went off to another place. A holy woman takes
him in she has son and daughter; they are
saved and baptized. There is another church,

ly who believe he or his companion baptize all the

"A Caution Against Anti Christian Sci.

"a Caution Against Anti-Christlan Sci
enoe. During the meeting Of the Synod OF Vir'
ginia in Lynchburg, the Rev. R. L. Dabney, u.
D., preached sermon ON Colossians ii: s, Be-
ware lest any man spoil you through philosophy
and vain deceit after the tradition Of men, after
the rudiments Of the world and not after Christ.
The interest Of the subject, and the great ability
with which it was discussed led number OF gen
tlemen of high intelligence to secure its pubica'
ton. 1t has been accordingly printed in neat
style, making pamphlet of nineteen pages. The
persons who subscribed for copies are hereby in
formed that they are deposited in the office of the
Central Presbyterian, subject to their order.
This sermon gives evidence of the aeuteness and
compact logic for which its author is distinguished,
and whether the reader may agree with all the
views presented, or not he will go through the dis
course both delighted and edited, 1t is timely
caution against anti Christian science" and
those excellent gentlemen who have taken upon
themselves the expense of circulating this able
and searching protest against the vain philosophy
which now sets its mouth against the heavens"
have done a service for which they deserve the
thanks of the Christian public.
May we here be allowed suggestion for the
consideration of some of our readers who perhaps
may be prepared to act upon it. If some one
qualified for the task would prepare brief history
of the most noted objections which science falsely
socalled) has raised against the Bible age after
age and the way in which they have, in succession,
been exploded, it would be emphaticaly tract for
the times. All well informed people know how,
one after another, they have come forth, each
bOasting great things, and claiming to throw dis
credit upon the Bible. But in little while they
have vanished ike smoke The fate of the whole
tribe has not prevented others from following in
their footsteps, nor has it taught them any mod
esty. The evidence establishing the truth Of the
Bible is drawn from almost every department Of
knowledge, and has been accommodating for ages.
We are asked time after time, to doubt it, or to
abandon it, because some gentlemen think they
now and then come across a few facts which seem
rot to agree with it, but about which they cannot
agree among themselves This vain philosophy,
wise in its own conceit, will be found in the world
till the restitution of all things for it has been
the history of the world that by its wisdom it never
knew God. But in the meantime It'll the bouuden
duty of those who know what the Bible is, to stand
by it, refusing to be despoiled of their treasure
aud their comfort by any vain deceit" and when
the enemy comes in like food let them in every
proper way lift up standard against it. We be
eve that brief, clear history of these attempts
to dscredit the Bible, and their ignominious fail
ures, would be just at this time an interesting and
very useful production.

it upon me TO say that the Of the poorest sub
ject in her kingdom if made known to her, would

the manner in which the Queen is often criticised,
is cruel and cowardly injustice when neither as

ply, but must endure the injustice. While such
attac ks may be made by few, feel certain that
