DEPARTURE OF A MISSIONARY.

Our townsman. Rev. s. A. Ddven-
port, M D., a member of the Presby-
terry of Elizabeth. is about to go as a
missionary to China, under the Presby-
terrain Board of Foreign Missions. Yes
terday afternoon, at the service of song
in the Third Presbyterian church. he
was introduced as one who had been
reared in the Sunday school of that
church, and made a few remarks in re-
gard to his connection with it and his
views and feelingsin entering upon the
foreign work. Announcement was made
that farewell prayer meeting would
be held at the house of his father Mr..
Silas Davenport, last evening ; and the
friends of the family were invite to at
tend. The parlors were well filled at
the appointed hour and the meeting
was very interesting and delightful
one.
Remarks we're made by many OF the
Older brethren of the church, d by
the pastor, expressing deep and tender
feeling upon the departure OF the first
foreign missionary from their own
church. Fervent prayer was offered for
his safe conveyance to his field of labor,
and his health and success when there,
and for his family and friends in this
city. All who were present were much
impressed with the truly spiritual SER
vice.
Mr.. Davenport stated that he should
go overland to San Francisco, and
thence to China by steamer. He will
probably be stationed in the northern
part of the country. He expects to
leave Elizabeth on Wednesday of this
week.

THERE was much less singing than
usual at Christ church, yesterday morn
ing, to the great delight of large
number of worshipers. Many excellent
people, accustomed for half century,
or longer, to join in reading the Pfalms
OF David, and responding to the com
snaadments, fail to see any cool rea-
son why they should be unable longer
to enjoy a precious privilege. The
earnestness with which they took part
in the services yesterday morning in
dicated their high qualification. At a
time when the church universal is fast
losing its hold upon the affections of
the masses it is pity that any depar
ture from the old landmarks should be
introduced. Let us rather hold fast to
the customs which, for long period,
have been sources of comfort while en-
gagged in divine service.

CoPPER-ToED shoes for young gentle
men of fifteen and under are not as eco
nomical as Fancy painted them. In
other words, they are not as cheap as
represented by the enterprising manu-
facturer Where's the advantage of a
copper-toed shoe to high spirited lad
if he can't kick things generally? Thus
reasoned Young America, as soon as he
was shod with pair of these formida-
BILE shoes. Having gained access to the
parlor he tried his patent tips to few
of the magnificent articles that added to
its attractions, with 80 much vigor that
the neighbors were alarmed, supposing
that the Spaniards were marching up
the avenue. An investigation followed.
A sofa, card tables, chairs. and other
trifles were found so greatly crippled in
the joints that they were removed with
much care. 1t is thought that two hun
bred dollars will cover the damages.

much aims, and prayed G I'd Away >
And his prayers AND bis aims came up
as a memorial before God.
Two points were very impressively
lustrated. The one, the relation of
giving to prayer ; the other. the relati, n
of prayer to giving. Giving actuates
prayer. Prayer is self-surrender In
giving, we simply realize the consecra-
ton we utter in prayer. We complete
the word by the act, follow up our pro-
testations with deeds. When we pray
Thy kingdom come" we virtually
pledge ourselves for the means to COM
pass such au end-for the money, the
men, and the resources needed for the
end prayed for. Our works actuate our
prayers. The one form of worship sup.
plements the other.
So too, if there be no scriptual praye,
without giving, there is no scriptual Civ
ing without prayer. Both are neces
sary to complete the worship, as man
hood and womanhood are necessary tc
the completeness OF humanity. Giving
actuates prayer; prayer directs ant
sanctifes giving. 1t is one thing tc
supply the machinery of church work
1t is another thing to secure force tina
shall move the machinery. By our gift
we do the one, by orr prayers we secur,
the power OF the Holy Spirit, which, ex
ercisea thro' the appointed appliances
effectively does the work.
