THE RELIEF FUND.

The last General Assembly reiterated "the
earnest commendatiOn of its predecessors" in
respect to this scheme. 1t thus stands be-
fore the Church with the renewed and hearty
sanction of our highest ecclesiastical court.
1t ought to command not only the confidence,
but the support of all the churches. With
January 1, prox, another year of the Relief
Fund will commence. So far, comparatively
few churches have entered its list for. the
benefit of their pastors. 1t is hoped that
many will do 30 at this time. The provis
ions of this scheme are fully explained in
"the Manual of Sustentation." 1t is hoped
that Church Sessions will examine these and
take measures to put their churches in con-
nection with the scheme for the benefit of
their pastors families.
Some of the advantages of the scleme (as
set forth in the manusD are:
l. 1t presents stimulus to Churches, and
unions of Churches, to make some equitable
and gratifying provision for the needs of the
families of their pastors after their decease.
2. 1t tends to strengthen and endear pas
toral ties, and to render them permanent and
efficient.
3. 1t is managed under the watchful care
of the General Assembly, and is liable to
only such notifications as will promote its
efficiency, the rights of subscribers, to the
scheme being guaranteed, and not being sub
ject to interference in any way.
4. Its management is inexpensive, no large
amounts being deducted for salaries, Office
rent, agents, commissions, dividends to stock
holders, &c., but its pro rata proportion of
the expenses of the Sustentation Office being
all that it is charged with.
5. Its large success will inure to the COM
fort of Gods people, to the prosperity of the
Church, and to the ennobling of Christian
sentiments which have too long lain dormant
in the hearts of believers.

son pay heavy fine who should dsSs -
build house planned by Brazilian. They
are all built on one plan, and that plar
has the greatest regard for visitors, and none
whatever for the pleasuri and comfort of the
family. Let US rememoer that the end Of
the house is always to t = street, and on the
street, except in the scsurbs of the city
You speak of the gable s.,ds of house at
home; here it is the gable sides, for the
caves of the roof are 2. The ends. In the
house there are ta0o Ia ooms, the parlor
in front, and the dir ON at the back.
A passage three or f. vide, leads from
one to the other. 0 side of this pas
sage are the rooms ed by the family,
and are only six or Gig set square. They
call them "quartos literal and good
tt translation would be arters.' A space
the size of the parlor have the passage
and two "quartos' on ch side. Miserable
little cuddies are the "quarters" of the
family, filled, usually, h dirt and filth in-
describable ThaS plai. avery floor Of the
house is the same. If the passage is at the
side of the house, it is nearly always at the
side that has window, and the "quarters"
at the other. One of our greatest difficult
ties in renting was to nd house with two
or three rooms large ugh for us to live in.
If there is any variat from this plan 1t ls
in minutia only. iIding house the
outer walls are frs t, which are very
thick, usually about Jt; afterwards the
thin six inch partiti alls are built up;
the position, number d size of the quar-
terS" vary as the space will allow, or the in
genuity of the owner suggests; but a big
parlor and dining room are first in Importance,
and indispensable. AS little wood as posi-
BILE is used in the construction of the houses
owing to the white ant, which by no means
require life time to destroy large timber;
and those rafters and big beams in the roof
must be watched, and if those little creatures
make their appearance, dose them well with
arsenic, else the whole roof will be tumbling
down upon your heads, not very pleasant
" happenment," as I know from actual OBJ
servation. We entertained for two nights
family who were driven from their house by
that accident. Fortunately they were all in
the parlor which was ceiled, but the "quar-
ters" were filled with splinters and broken
tiles to the depth of about foot. The old
ladys little god, st. Antonio, however, was
not hurt, for which she could not cease cross
ing herself and expressing her deep gratitude
and joy.

A letter has been received from Mr.. Gray
bill, of the Mission in Matamoras and
Brownsville, of the 9th September. The
attendance upon preaching in Brownsville
was more than usually encouraging, and in
Matamoras quite as much as usual. He
mentions one Spanish gentlemen, in Browns
vile, who was more than ordinarily atten-
tive to religious instruction, and he repre-
sents Sen. Leandro as very active and eff
cient in expounding the Scripture.
In letters of later date, October 22d
and 23d,) Mr.. G. speaks of continued en-
couragement. He has hope of securing the
of another native Mexican, of
excellent character and gifts, who, while he
devotes a part of his time to studies for the
ministry, will render assistance in the school,
and also in conducting services in Browns
vile and Matamoras.
A letter has been received from DR.. Kalo-
pothakes as late as October I'd. 1t is taken
up mainly with an urgent request that he
be reinforced by an American missionary,
which it is hoped will be done by spring, if
not before that time.

and the United States, and directly in face
of precept Of the Koran, no one can be
disturbed for his religion. The Prime Min
ister of the Sultan is said to be nominal
Christian, of the Greek Church probably
and Jews, and Gentiles, are with Mohame-
dams, civil officers over the empire. A little
south of the Black Sea, the American Board
has Theological Seminary. In 1869, this
school sent out seven licensed preachers Of
the gospel. At the present time there are
said to be one hundred others in it preparing
to enter the ministry. I have seen it stated
that in Damascus, north-ea of Palestine,
and in the region round about, there are
from three thousand to five thousand people,
but recently Mohamedans, who meet regu-
larly in Christian prayer meetings. Now,
is not this wonderful in what was, until
recently the most despotic government on
earth?
Take Persia next. Here the gospel is
believed to have been introduced by the
Apostle Thomas. Under Nestorius, at a
later period, it was advanced considerably.
Notwithstanding the opposition of MOhame-
dams, and of the Greek Church has been
greatly and long continued; and although
religion degenerated, and became largely
formal, they have at no time been without
remnant of true piety. In about 1886, the
Rev. Messrs. Perkins and Grant went from
the United States to labor in that country,
and at later period the Rev. Mr.. Rhea, of
Tennessee These, with many discourage
ments, have had much encouragement also.
But now for results.
In 1870 the Northern General Assembly
met in Chicago. DR.. Shedd, a returned
said in the Assembly, "The
work in Persia is a success. | have wit
messed revivals of religion there as thrilling
as in this country We have them too, from
year to year. Two winters ago, more than
a thousand souls were hopefully brought to
Christ within month. We have ninety
We have organized churches
with settled pastors. In the support of these,
in some cases the whole is given by the con-
gregation, and in some cases two-thirds is |
given"

the communication of life, and saw death on
every side impending over him. In these
circumstances of what avail was it to US that
the distant and exalted Word contained in
himself the fulnesg of life? But when this
fountain of life began to share our nature he
lay no longer hidden and at distance from
US but openly and close at hand exhibited
himself for our participation of his life. He
then and thus made his very flesh to be vivi-
flying to us. 81 am, (he says the bread of
life The bread which l will give is my
flesh" In Christ's humanity, then, full
ness of life resides of which all partake who
communicate in his flesh and blood. The
case may thus be illustrated. A reservoir
of water may be continually drawn from if
continually replenished from some perennial
source now the flesh of Christ is such an
inexhaustible reservoir of life filled from the
God-head itself. Christ is the Church's
head, and We are members of his body, Of
his flesh, and of his bones. 1t is the Spirit
who thus by faith unites US to him. And
the sacred communion of his flesh emu blood
by which Christ transfuses, through the
Spirit, his life into US is both signifed and
sealed to us in the supper. 1t is no empty
symbol. In the mystery of the supper
Christ, his body and blood, are truly exhib-
tied to US. His presence in the sacrament
is real presence not to our senses, however,
but to our faith-it is real presence, but
spiritual and not carnal presence.
DR.. Thornwell saw here nothing more un-
ineligible or absurd than what our Confes-
sion teaches on this subject-nothing more
incomprehensibe or incredible than the doc
trine of the Incarnation or of the mystical
union betwixt the Church and the Church's
members with her and their adorable Head.

On the Platform and at Home.

The second feature which we think ought
possibly to have been made even more promi-
nent in the biography than it is, is DR.. Gun
ningham's what, for want Of better word,
we may call, twofoldness of character. They
who knew him on the platform knew one
man; they who knew him at home knew an
other. On the platform he was lion-at
home lamb. They who did not know him
at home did not know him at all and they
who only knew him at home we're as igno-
rant. The sea in calm, and the sea in a
storm, is one and the same sea. On the
platform he reminded you of one of Nasmith's
steam hammers in full work. What pom
derous strength it was what clear, dis
tnct, loud, ringing voice it was You felt as
if the adversary were in the grasp of a giant,
was being pounded to atoms. What mere
flesh and blood could resist blows like these ?
And when, once and again, the heavy hand
came down like thunder-clap, woe betide
the unfortunate wight who had to Withstand
the blow. But see the ponderous giant at
home-in his study, say. The curly locks,
then, are not Simpsons after all, but witch.
ing aud soft as a child's. The voice is not
thunderous at all, but really low and sweet
And that smile; the smile of welcome to an
old friend; best of all to an old student: oh,
it was genial and winning and winsome and
beautiful Only he who could say and do
such dreadful things at one time ever could
smile so winningly at another.

BRINGING OUR sHEAvEs.

The time for toll is past, and night has come,
The last and saddest of the harvest ewes;
Worn out with labor long aud wearisome,
Dropping and faint the reapers hasten home,
Each laden with his sheaves.
Las. of the laborers. thy feet gain,
Lord of the harvest and my spirit grieves
That I am burdened not so much with grain
As with beaviness Of heart and brain.
Master behold my sheaves!
Few, light, and worthless-yet their trihing weigh
Through all my frame a weary aching leaves;
For long 1 struggled with my hapless fate,
And stayed and tOiled I'LL it was dark and late
Yet these are all my sheavesl
Full vel I know have mora tares than wheat
Brambles and flowers, dry stalks and withere'
leaves;
Wherefore blush and weep, as at thy feet
kneel down reverently, aud repeat,
Master, behold my sheavesI"
know these blossoms, clustering heavily
With evening dew upon the folded leaves,
Can claim nc value nor utility
Therefore shall fragrancy and beauty be
The glory OF my sheaves
So do gather strength and hope anew;
Fer well 1 know thy patient love perceives
Not uc5qt I did, bUt tcbat sTROvE to do;
And though the tou, ripe ears be sadly few,
Thou wilt accept my sheaves.

For THE CEsraAL PRESBYTERIAN.
MODERN MISSIONS.


During the semi,aw,ual meeting of the
presbytery of Flofios, which met in Fer
nandina November 4th, the Rev. 7. I. John
stoD, late of Columbis Theological Seminary,
was ordained to the work Of Foreign Mis-
sions. As Mr.. Johnston expects to set out
shortly to the Choctaw nation, missionary
meeting was held by the Presbytery, on the
night of the 9th, to take leave of him. After
singing one or two appropriate hymns. and
prayer, Rev. Henry Brown delivered sub
stantially the following address. The in
troductory remarks are omitted.
cit is now about seventy-6ve or eighty
years since modern missions were, in any
special sense, begun. AS this is an interest
ing occasion, and connected with that sub
iect, it will not be uninteresting or inappro-
pirate to give summary of what has been
accomplished. Let us then begin with the
circulation of the Bible. This, next to the
author of our religion, is cornerstone in
the glorious fabric. There are said to be
rather more than three thousand spoken Ian
guages in the world. Within the period
referred to, and in addition to what has been
done to circulate that book in Christian
lands, it has been translated into two hun
dred and seventy-four languages, not few
| r .L:oL Id So. .bo 6rst t;rna to ha raduoad
to writing. II hole number distributed
among the hu family, within the time
referred to, is ninety-six millions
This surely is wonderful when it is re-
membered tha than three hundred years
ago, perhaps Il lost excited meeting there
ever was in Lo On, met to determine what
should be done ith that 'incarnate demon,
las he was call, Wm. Tindal, for having
dared to print the Bible in the English Ian
guage.
Let us now take up the progress of the
gospel. I begin then with western Asia, and
20 east, not according to chronology, but &C
cordlng to &C raphy, as nearly as CHI
The first miss aries that went to AsiatiC
Turkey, were Vi Parsons and Pliny Fisk
This was abou year 1924. In the course
of two or years Mr.. Parsons died
He was sue by Rev. Jonas King
After about ars Mr.. King returned tt
the United S and not long after wen
, to Athens in ece. There, after doing
. glorious work, amid great opposition, he die
: about four years ago. From the beginning
g named, the efforts in Turkey have been con
0 tinued till the present time, and extended il
D various directions. But now for results.
1t was not till 1S48 that the first Christia
8 Church was organized within the empire
This was at Constantinople. To this how
:, ever, seventy-nine have since been added
= These contain more than 1000 members
n About one-third of them are self sustaining
q Connected with them there are, in Sabbatl
it and Christian day schools, about 1900
youth. At Constantinople there is a Bib
II Society which has circulated among the PEI
e ple far and near, 400, 900 Bibles. The pr
