FROM THE SOUTHERN STATES.
Presbytery of Central Ohio

Met in Waterford, Knox county, Ohio Septem-
Der Sd, 1873, at o'clock p NJ, and closed its ses.
sions on the evening of the following day. Eight
members were present-an equal number Of min
listers and ruling elders Rev. r. Bell was chosen
Moderator, and r, Morrison temporary clerk The
meeting was throughout pleasant one, and was
occupied mostly with routine business.
NdrrdtlOe. The following is copy Of the mar
ratlve to Synod
The Presbytery of Central Ohio would report to
the Synod of Kentucky that, during the past Sy-
nodica year, there have been no special matters of
interest connected with our work here.
One congregation has secured very eligible lot
on which they intend, as soon as practicable, to
erect house OF worship. Three OF our ministers
are stately preaching to five churches, with some
tokens Of divine favor
We are surrounded by many and peculiar him
ORANGES. We need more preaching and evangelis.
tic work, and yet are hardly able to retain in the
held, by an adequate support, those ministers
actively employed in our bounds Far away, too,
from any ministerial sympathy or fellowship, as
well as deriving no substantial aid from the Synod
with which we are connected, some of our people
are becoming discouraged. Somefames are SELL
ing out and moving westward, and so weaken the
congregations they leave, and do not benefit the
church elsewhere
Under God, the sympathy and help we may re-
celve during the next year two will tell the story
Tor the establishment or ruin Of our struggling con-
gregations
We are thankful, however, for the privilege,
humble though it be, for name and place to work
anywhere IN the grand army of the Divine Master.
- The Presbytery adjourned to meet in West
Carlisle, Cosh0cton county, Ohio, on the first
Wednesday Of April next at 2. o'clock p. NJ

- SPECIAL REQUEST.-During tn

"a SPECIAL REQUEST.-During the
present financial crisis checks on banks and
business firms give US much trouble in the
cOlleetion-sometimes cannot be collected at
all Subscribers and agents are therefore
requested to make remittanees for the pre-
sent by Post Office orders, or, where that
cannot be done, by registered letter.
And further; May we not appeal to our
friends at this time of special need and diff
foulty, to transmit at once what they know
to be due? Prompt payments have to be
made for all expenses of this Office; how
can they be met without corresponding
action on the part of subscribers? 1t is a
small matter to each, but vital matter to us.

From the Missionary.
Letter from Rev. J. H. Cotton.
CHoCTAM MISSION Lnlv

CHocTAw MISSION, July 8, 1873.
Our mission has been afflicted in the loss of one
of its little ones Mr.. Cadwell's youngest, about
one and half years old, died this week after an
illness of about ten days. Its name was Walter
Mrs. Caldwell was herself quite sick, but is now
much better
My trip to Mt. Fork church was gratifying.
think the elders are developing capacity to take
care of themselves and the churches. And there
is only wanted boarding such as Spencer
Academy, to give them intelligent piety.
Three years ago this fall was the last time had
visited the church. Since then Mr.. Lloyd and
Mr.. Wright were there at Presbytery, and Mr..
Brewer also once. But these elders have been
faithful in keeping up the ordinances of worship.
At two points neat and large plain houses have
been built for worship.
At this society in July sixteen we're received on
examination, and one other who had been Meth.
odist. Also an intelligent old man and his wife
made confession of backsliding, and resumed their
privileges in the church. Some others made con-
fession of particular sins, which were satisfactory
to the session.
What would our people think of their confes
sions? An intelligent middle aged woman con.
fessed with tears that she had spent one Sunday
hunting for her only horse. A young man con
fessed that he had broken the Sabbath by getting
mad. A steady aud industrious man of middle
age confessed that he had taken much whiskey and
was drunk.
All this is simple, but it is better than wilfu ne
gect of duty, and endeaVoring to hide it from the
world.
am encouraged by the interest both at Vince
lock and GoodWater, and the station near Spencer
Academy.
They are trying to get up enough funds at Vince
lock to restore their church which was burnt two
years ago. The bare rock walls are still standing.
| would suggest to those who are seeking ways to
bestow their benevolence, and especially to these
who feel an interest in particular person, that
they will find worthy object in helping this
church. and do honor to the memory of great
and good man. 1t was here Rev. Alfred Wright
lived and preached, and translated the New Tesla
ment in Choctaw. His tablet in the church was de-
stroyed by the fire. But would suggest to some
one nobler testimonial to his memory. Let some
one gtre himself to the work Of preaching to this
people. Yea, rather, let some one even here
among these simple people, come and, if need be,
suffer shame for Jesus name.
| still find much to keep me busy. l am max
ing some preparation for the next session.

Baltimore Assembly, so far from conciliating our
brethren of the other breach in Kentucky, only
served to widen the breach. They regard it as In
dlcatlng disposition on the part OF the Church
North to trlte with their principles and feelings.
An influential minister of that body said to us IN
substance = that action assumes, either that we
have no feeling on the subject, that we are not sim
cere In regard to the dellverances OF former AS
sembhes, or that We have no sense. And we con-
TESS that we were not altogether prepared to de-
iend the Assembly against the accusation 10 us
it appears plain dictate OF common sense to
recognize the fact that the Southern people regard
themselves as an injured and aggrleved party
Whether they have any ground Tor this feeling is
quite another question, and so tar as relates to the
natter OF union 1T is a question OF no moment
But whatever may be true OF the reasons upon
which it Is based the feeling is fact-a fact quite
too papable to admit of question. And 1t Is this
feeling, not the grounds upon which it is enter
,aiued-with which we have to do. While 1t re-
mains, union will not be secured Any effort 10
that direction which ignores its existence or treats
it as an absurdlty sure to fall 1t is entertained
Jy honest and intelligent men. On the question OF
| union they are acting upon an idea. Their posi-
cOn has been deliberately and cOnscentlouSly
taken, and whether correct or mistaken IN IL, the
position is certain to be maintained. Those VINO
know these brethren have no doubt on the SUBJECT
There remains, then, for the present, but one
way in which the union can be secured, VIZ, to
devise some means by which this feeling Can be
removed. Something must be done to convince
the Church South that we are disposed to recog
nze the wrong of which they complain, and tc
make for it full satisfaction. 1t is by no means
clear to us that organic union could be secured at
present, even by granting all that the South is dis
posed to demand A very large party In thai
Church, if not majority, are opposed TO 1t upor
any terms. They believe that it would be preludl
oial 10 the best intel sts of their Church-that II
IS highly important Hcsstnuc to maintain a sepa
But whatever might occur, If we were prepared
to accede to their demands we believe 1t 10 be az
we'll settled anything in the future that for the
present, union can be secured only by an expllc
and unmistakable repudlating OF the offensive de
hverances Of our General Assemblies. And II W.
are not prepared for this and are unable to devise
any plan by which the wounds Of our brethren car
be healed, we cannot see that any good can come
from the continued agitation of the subject. VI
the contrary it appears to US to be fraught witt
serious evils. Our Southern brethren regard 1t al
an unraternal or inconsderate effort to divide th
oounsels of their Church, and to the Synod
Kentucky North it has been ground OF embar
rassment in the Masters work.

Letter from Bismarck.-A Berlin correspon
dent of the Ne10 York World started, in the inter
ests Of Popery, a story about Bismarck, charging
him with having made declarations OF bitter hos.
tility to the Christian religion and with professions
of atheism. DR.. Bendan, late Professor in the
New York University addressed letter to this
distinguished statesman of Germany, which drew
from him reply, of which the following is cor
rect translation
CDR. BENDAN,-I received your communca-
ton with many thanks. So many falsehoods are
told on my account that | am not astonished at
this barefaced invention. | do not know if there
are people stupid enough to believe such things :;
but one thing is certain-I neuer had 10Th any one
a conversation OF an import similar to that to which
you refer. There can consequently not even be a
misunderstanding alleged as a pretext for that
falsehood (Lilge-liel But it strikes me that the
phrase to crush Rome in order to crush Chris.

pose of that calumny.

Spencer Academy.
To the SaJJath School Chadren :.

To the Sabbath School Children.
We are sorry to notice that your contributions
on the first Sabbath in August for the benefit of
Spencer Academy. were much smaller than those
given on previous occasions for other schools We
not willing to ascrbe this to any loss OF interest
on your part of the great work of Foreign Mis-
sions. 1t may have been that the subject was not
brought as distinctly before your minds as it should
have been; it may have been an unfavorable sea-
son OF the year, as many of you were away from
home at the time; or it may have been that col
lections were delayed for a more favorable time
But whatever may have been the cause, it is not
yet too late to retrieve the past, and we do hope
that all the schools will yet make an effort In be-
half of this important object. We feel that we
cannot do without your help. The missionary
work has been greatly enlarged and the demands
for extended education proportonally increased.
Can't we rely upon our young friends to keep pace
with the general work. Perhaps we shall not call
upon you to contribute for particular schools as we
did last year, but we shall want large aye larger
contributions even than those. The whole of the
contributions of the children last year exceeded
49, 600. But this year we do hope they will be
more than 0.000.-MiSsionary.

Conditions and Wants of the Foreign Mis-
siOnary Cause.

1t is deemed essential to the welfare of this grea
cause, that its friends and supporters should b.
kept fully informed in reationt its condition anC
wants at all the various stages OF its progress,
this the Executive Committee has already tried tt
do, not only as a matter due to those who furnish
the means of its support, but equally to prevent
any revulsions that might be occasioned from the
want of proper information At the same time
the Committee feel growing sense Of the solemn
responsibility resting upon them, In directing al
enterprise which is expanding itself with so much
rapidty, and which is constantly. assuming larger
and more extended proportions, and they feel theil
need Of the active sympathes OF all those who love
and desire the prosperity of this great cause
In carrying on the great work entrusted to their
care, and especially in charging that work, the
Committee strive to be governed by the indications
of divine providence. And while they never as
sumo any new responsibility without trembling and
anxiety, they feel, at the same time that it would
involve great cul pabty to neglect or disregard any
call of divine providence to extend It's boundaries.
The present is crisis that deserves the serious and
prayerful consideration of all Gods people. Three
missionary laborers are now on their way to China
another is expected to leave Tor the Indian coun-
try in the course of few weeks two others, per.
haps four, will leave by the first of November, to
form new station in Northern Mexico; whilst the
Greek Mission, as will be seen from another ar.
tice, with all its various departments Of labor, has
been taken under the care OF the Committee. All
this, added to.the work already undertaken, must
greatly augment the pecuniary demands of the
cause May we not rely upon the friends of the
Redeemer to rally around this causep May we
not rely upon those who have given in their steady
support for years past to do even greater things
the present year? May we not confidently hope
that very many of the eight hundred defaulting
churches will arouse themselves from their indif-
ference and inactivity, and come forth boldly and
generously to the help of the Lord? In order to
meet the growing wants OF this great cause. the
monthly receipts ought never to fall short of S..
0O0 During the first three months Of the eccle-
Sastical year they were fully up to the demands of
the case, and if similar lberality is manifested dur
ing the coming months of the year, we shall escape
all pecuniary embarrassment and have cause for
abundant gratitude to Almighty God.-lhssionary.
