The special attention of the Church is respect
fully called to the wants OF the Executive Com
mittee OF Education, as presented in the Annual
Il port 60 the recent General Assembly. From it

Is al that Is needed, il Is confidently believed, in
order TO arouse the churches to prompt action.
The General Assembly instructed the undersigned
20 issue this circular to our ministers and churches
calling upon them for aid in this emergency. Let
II be observed, that large balance against the
CommiIee has existed annually for several years
past; and at each Assembly, the deficit has been
carried forward as a charge against the treasury
for the ensuing year. For example, at the Assem-
bis Of 1871, a de6cit was reported. which was
transferred 20 cur last years account. and II re-
CURED over $4,000 TO hquidate it, Had this debt
not existed, the receipts OF the year Just closed
would have been about equal to the claims against
the Committee, aud there would have been no de.
6cit The same has been true for several years.
Tie suggestion which is DOW made is, that a special
collection be taken up during the month of June.
or as early as possible, to discharge these debts,
VIA che hope that the annual collection this fall
p b ample Tor he current obligations, and that
thus this source OF embarrassment may be remoy-
ed Let no one be discouraged, however, on ac-
count Of the existence Of these facts. 1t is the
blessing Of God On our Church which has caused |
tins state Of things. The constant increase of the
number Of candidates. which we have had the |
privilege TO report every year since the war, makes
an increasing calm on she prayers, the thankful |
ness, aud the 6barality Of the Church. With |
hearts full Of gratitude TO God for His past mer.
cies, let Us address ourselves to the duties which
he imposes; and respond to this claim which His /
providence makes with promptness and liberality.
Whatever is done, brethren, let il be done quick

Treasurer, Charles Gennett, Esq, lOll Main

Life in the Ezoie, By Rev. A. D Pollock.


Ia this excellent work the author has given us
the fruits Of years Of labor, and deep thought and
prayer I have rarely read book that has excl
ted and kept up through all It's pages a more in
tense interest There is vein Of spirituality run
Mug through it which cannot fail to excite the
emotions Of the Christian heart, and to awaken
thoughts Of heavenly things and help US onward in
Cur journey thitberward. Unlike the allegoriea but
truthful representation Of the imaginary journey
Of the Christian pilgrim this is faithful narrative
OF historical facts concerning the journey Of whole
nation Just delivered from captivity, and wander
ing by devious way through the wilderness under
the immediate guidance Of Him who never ceases
70 wax over lhe.Christian's path.
The subject itself is comparatively new Ger
taiBy no suthor has ever treated it so deliberately,
and 70 manner so well calculated to rivet the at
;eDtoa Of the reader While it is replete with in
struetion, and profitable reflections it has all the
attraction of a romance.
Tho huvney Of the Israeftes from Eqypt is in
nsef tee most remarkable event recorded in the
history Of the nations Of the earth. The subject is
handed With judgment, while it is embellished
aa3 enhvcned by the Imaginative genius of the
saihor without any departure from the truth.
IL is no part Of my design to write review, but
simply 20 call attention to book Of great meri'.
II can By this bret notice in any way promote its
circulation, shall feel that have rendered ser
wee to the public reader. PHI

TO THE MEMORY OF THE LATE
JAMES LYNCH

JAMES LYNCH
God having in his all-wise providence removed
from us Mr.. James Lynch, beloved brother and
earnest felOwlabOrer in the gospel of Christ, We,
the Session of the I'd Presbyterian Church, Peters
burg, Va, do place upon our records the following
tribute to his memory:
James Lynch was born in Petersburg, November,
1908, and died in that city, May oath, 1872. He
made profession of religion in the year 1s41, and
united with Tabb Street church. He was one of the
ogiginal twenty-one who, in November, 1851, colo
nized and formed the ID Presbyterian church. In
tie same year he ordained ruling elder, in which
Office he continued to serve till his DEATH For thir
ty years he confessed Christ before the world and
for twenty performed the duties of ruling elder. He
was an exemplary Christian faithful to his convic
tons of duty, and jealous in his labors for Christ
The energies of his soul were consecrated to the
Lord. While he possessed an enterprising spirit,
and a worthy example of industry in his secular
engagements he did not allow the world to encroach
upon his religious duties. The mature Christian,
the beloved brother, the afectionate husband the
kind father, has been called away. Absent from u.s.
he is we believe present with the Lord, Our loss

ceaseless praise. Therefore,
Resolyed, l. That, humbling ourselves under the
mighty hand of God, we reverentlJ and submissvely
bow before the will of Him who doeh all things we'll
2. That we will earnestly seek to improve the
dispensation of Providence, by renewing VOW Of
dedication, by reU embering that we too must soon
render an account of our stewardship, and by i'm
plorng the divine blessing on our bereaved church.
8. That we extend to the sorely bereaved family
of our departed brother our tender sympathy our
Christian love, and the assurance that our prayers
shall ascend for them to the God of the widow-the
Father OF the fatherless.
T. That copy of this tribute and these resolu-
tions be furnished the bereaved family and also sent
to the Central Presbyterian for publication.
