ALONE IN ITS GLORY.
The Prairie State savings Bank

located on the southwest corner of DesplaInes
and Warrington streets, is now the only Saw
ings Institution located on the West Side,
the transfer of the West Side branch of the
NJ, E. & M, Savings Bank, to the head office
on CLARK street, leaving it IN undisputed pos
session of the west division. The failure Of
one or two Of our unreliable monied instltu-
lions makes it all the more imperative that
our working people should know which banks
are sound and which are not. Under these
circumstances it gives us especial pleasure to
announce that in point of financial reliability
and careful management, the Prairie State
is excelled by no bank in town, and that is
saying great deal. Upon West Side resi-
dents it has especial claims; it ispre-eminent-
ly West Side institution, and located in
close proximity to all of its principal thor
oughfares.

Troublesome Church Members

Years ago we read substantially the following
story A pastor was pleasantly situsted-had
charge of an affectionate and active church-and
his ninistrations were crowned with ordinary sue.
cess; but there was one cause of disbursement
and trouble. Brother John johnson, wealthy
and respected member, was dissatisfied He was
hard to please. Nothing exactly suited him. The
preaching was not sufficiently doctrinal, the dis
cipline was altogether too lenent and the singing
was without life and fervor. He opposed new
measures because they were new. and wished old
ones changed because they we're old. He had q
natural affinity for the minority and would proba
bly, have changed his opinion, if he had found
himself in the majority. He was not wanting in
liberahty aud the church was, in no small degree,
dependent on his contributions for support; but
he was thorn in the side of his pastor. He
watched him with an eagles eye, and improved
kery opportunity Of finding fault with him. The
or resolved to endure the tormentDg censures
Fother John johnson no longer; and, much to
e sorrow of his church, sent in his resignation
~ He soon took charge OF another church, where
he found many brethren and sisters warm in their
attachment to him. and ready to aid him in all his
efforts to do good but to his dsmay he discovered
that there was in that church, too. another John
johnson. The pastor changed bis field, but did
not escape his trials. He removed several times
but could never get clear of John johnson; and
came, finally, to the conclusion that every church
has its John johnson. So much for the story.
We have been long acquainted with this same
John johnson. Few churches are free from bis
croakings. In some churches, there are several
sometimes as many as half dozen John Johnsons.
1t is, perhaps, an advantage to have more than
one in church. They are sure to be on opposite
sides of every debatable question. and they neu-
tralize one another's influence, and divert their
batteries from less pugnacious members.
What should the church do with brother John
Johnson2 He should not be expelled He is a
good man, and does some good in his way. He
must be borne with. He has been raised up to
exercise the patience, temper and iorbearance Of
the brotherhood He is a thorn in the flesh of the
pastor but it will preserve him from being exalted
above measure and he will find the grace of Christ
sufficient for him. Time may exert q mellowing
Influence on the spirit of brother johnson Or if he
should grow more queruous and troublesome as he |
grows older, he will not live always, and his son.
though he nherits the disposition of his father,
will have less influence and be less able to cause
trouble. Pray for brother johnson; be not fret
ted at his complaints and contrariness; strengthen
the hands of the pastor in his work; and be sure
not to fall into the spirit and copy the example of
The old man and let the pastor retain bis place,
rust in God, perform his lsbors. and leave John
Johnson to do the croaking. Religious Herald. J

Rev. William N. Scott-Notice has been
already taken of the call from the Third Presbyte-
risu church, Richmond, which was put into Mr..
Scots hands for his consideration, at the meeting
of the Presbytery at Bethany and also of the pro-
ceedings held in Richmond, 0otober l9.h, at which
Mr.. SCOTS answer was received, in which he ex-
pressed the conviction that it was his duty to &C,
cept the call. AT this meeting the commissioners
from the Third church were fully heard in support
of their call, and those of the Samuel Davies
church were fully heard in opposition to the re-
moval of their pastor. The final determination Of
the matter was postponed in order to obtain full
er meeting, which was held in Stauuton during the
sessions of the Synod. After careful considera,
ton of the whole question large majority voted
in favor of dissolving the pastoral relation Of Mr.
Scott, and trsnslating him to the Third church in

Contribution for Education


To tie Pastors and Church Sessions under
the care Of the Synod of Virginia;
Dear Brethren, We beg leave, on behalf
Of the Synod, by whom We are appointed to
this task, to call your attention to the cause
of Education for the ministry. The respect
ed Secretary of the Assembly for Education
has communicate to as, at our recent meet
ing, the urgent wants of this cause. Inc
time appointed BY the Assembly for the
annual collection for Education (lst Sabbath
of November,) is now resr at hand. We
simply beg leave to ask your attention to the
following facts:
l. The present Secretary, with his CON-
mittee, has, to most gratifying extent, re.
trie7ed the affairs Of the Committee, and
reduced the Of 1 debt to the small amount Of
about $4,000. The churches therefore, have
the prospect Of carrying forward this work 10
the future vita success, and without painful
endorsements, provided there is full coop

2 The Committee expect an increase Oh
candidates, which will absolutely require the
full cooperation of the Synods, and especl
ally Of the large Synod Of Virginia, to avOic
the painful necessity of refusing aid to de-
serving young men degirous of preaching
the Gospel, or of again mourning disastrous
debt
8. The wisdom of the church hes thus fai
discovered no better mode to secure an ade
quate supply of pastors and ministers thai
the present plan for aiding young men II
their education. Objection has been sug
gested to this plan, as tending to supersed'
the spirit of independence and self-relianc'
in candidates, and to remove motives for dill
gence and devotion. 1t is spprehended tina
these objections may have discouraged TIT
benefactions of the pious to this cause. Th'
Synod, in reply, can only point to the fac
chat very large part of that honored body
of ministers who are now efficiently serving
our church, were assisted in their education
in this very mode. Shall not the tree b.
known by its fruits =? Equal energy and ex
cellence can never be realized in any larg'
body of men, on whatever plan it may b.
treated. But as far as we can learn from
actual tests carefully applied in our Semina
ry, during many months, the class Of assist
ed students, when compared as a class will
those who pay the whole expense of thei
own education, exhibit no appreciable infe
riority to their brethren in scholarship, con
scientiousness or industry.
In view of these facts the Synod, through
us, earnestly prefers one request to all it
pastors and church sessions, that they vii
punctually present this cause on the frs
Sabbath of November, or the next conve
nient day, to their charges, and invite thei
contributions. If this is done, nothing NOR,
will be needed to meet the present wants o
this cause
