Presbytery of West Hanover

Met Aug. Goth, in ST. James church. Louisa
county.
The opening sermon was by Rev. James M.

Rev B. NJ. Wales was chosen Moderator, and
Rev. L. B. Johnston and E. Il. G. Carr, clerks.
Licentiate G. w. Humphreys was dismissed to
Lexington Presbytry
Rev Charles White was received from Win.
chester Presbytery; and Rev. DR.. Dabney and
Rev. H. III. HAYES were appointed committee to
install him pastor of College church, Sept. och.
The next regular meeting of Presbytery was ap-
pointed at Amherst Courthouse, April 26tb 1876.
The report of the Committee on the Minutes of
the General Assembly was taken up and the most
of the resolutions embodied in it adopted. These
chiefly relate to the subject of Systematic Bene6-
ceDce, and aim to forward the effort of the Assem-
bly, to secure annual contributions from all the
churches in behalf of all the benevolent objects
conducted by its permanent committees.
A report was presented by Dr. Dabney and
adopted, providing for the employment of another
evangelist and the occupation of new fields of la
bor if the necessary appropriations can be OBJ
tanned from the Assemby's Sustentation Com
mittee.
Mr.. j. g. Anderson, candidate for the ministry,
stated his wish now to enter the Theological Semi.
nary and it was resolved that he should have the
benefit of scholarship in Union Seminary, which
the Presbytery owns.

Presbyterian Alliance.

The Baptist Union takes the following views:
1.-THE influence of the great Presbyterian ALI
ance will be immense. They will be benefited,
most of all, by cheriShing unity in diversity. All
forms and types of Presbyterans are gathered into
fellowship, have become one family, with all their
dyersities and peculiarities. That is iDfiaitely
better than union with uniformity. because it guar
antees liberty, and where there is liberty there is
honesty. and with honesty comes depth and
strength Of conviction. tenderness Of conscience,
and genuine piety. Since mcn cay kasbyte-
rians. and feel free in belief and praa they will
be less anxious to be approved Of thely4ct than to
win the appreciation of Christ; their sectarianism
will give place to Christianity; they will draw more
closely to the Cross, and that will bring them near
er to all srnts. The influence upon other Chris
tians will be salutary Such examples of unity in
diversity are worth more than volumes Of argument
to show that the thing is right and feasible. The
mass Of people will not believe until they see liv-
ing examples before their eyes. Baptists and
Methodlsts are split into fragments on various
points Of difference, and need to be taught that
they can unite without amp surrender of liberty, or
change OF belief or usage. AS they see Presbyte
rians unite on such basis, they may believe and
act. Where they can CO. in the direction of liberty,
other types of Christians can surely follow"

THE NEW SOUTH. +"

The Ne,O York Evangelist has leading
editorial concerning Lectures and LeOtur-
ers. 1t says; eve have been glanciOg
over a list of the lecturers who propose, dur
ing the coming season, to Instruct or amuse
the public in consideration of good fee for
their work On the list there are some good
names. Any community might probably
listen to what Bishop Haven may have to
say on the New South, &C., &c.
The peculiar qualifications Of this same
Bishop Haven to take the lead in renOvating
the South so as to make New" thing out
of it, may be learned in part from his views
about amalgamation, of which he is an ar
dent advocate. Indeed it is his watchword,
as may be seen from the following extract
from long article he publishes in the last
" T. Independent. He says:
"The word for America Of to-day is not Adolf
ton, but AmalgamatiOn. That word is no less alb
horrent to the Northern mind than Abolition a
score of years ago was to the Southern. It's hated
By church and state. Men Of color are Ostraclsed
everywhere. No New York or Boston pulpit sd-
mits them as pastor. Fred. Douglass may be wei
come to Plymouth pulpit; but the Rev. frederic
Douglass, ID. D., would never be called to that pas
torate, and that church would call him as quick as
any other, if not quicker. We pet and patrOnize,
but We do not traterniz9 a Chinaman can 60
everywhere without restriction. The best tables
and society are open to him. l was Just told OF a
Chinese student of Wilbraham marrying Connec
ticut lady and settling with honor IN her own com
munity. A fellow student OF his was son OF an
alderman in Charleston, rich. and less touched with
color than the Chinsman. Yet he was touched
Had Connecticut lady married him, what how
would have been raised. Abominsble black laws
forbidding such relations curse half our statute
books to this day, and no civil rights bill, not even
Charles Sumner dare demand their sbrogation.
Now, Jet it be remembered that this same
Bishop Haven was perhaps the most active
of all Northern Methodists in taking posses
sion of Southern Methodist churches, through
military edicts, and that he has apparently
made it a part Of his religion never to lose an
opportunity to misrepresent and revile the
South. A more malignant, vituperativt
tongue is not to be found in the land. And
this is the g Lectures" the Evangelist recon
mends to the public on this subject. =" Ang
community might profitable listen to '0ha,
Bishop Haven might hare to sag on the "Ns'r
South" And the fundamental idea in this
fanatics head is " amalgamatiOn %
The whole thing, that is the doctrine Of
Bishop Haven and the commendatiOn of him
by the Evangelist, is one among the many
illustrations about "union" and "fraternal
relations What comfort could either
Southern Meshodists or Presbyterians find in
connection with views so inexpressbly de-
testable? AmalgamatiOn between the white
and negro races is Bishop Ravens watchwOrd
for the New South, and the EgangeEst
thinks he is "a marvellously proper man
for US to listen to.

To be held in Richmond, Wednesday, Oct 9Th, 1875.
TO the Sunday Schools Of all Denominations, Of
the State Of Virginia.
Dear Brethren,-At meeting of the Sunday
School Union of all Denominations of the City Of
Richmond, held in June last, it was resolved that
a Convention of Sunday School workers of all
Evangelical Denominations throughout the State
should be held in the City of Richmond, commenc
ing on Wednesday the 9th day of October, 1875, a,
IL A. NJ, and the undersigned, representing all
sections and Denominations of the Commonwealth,
were appointed to prepare for such o Convention
and issue call for the same.
1t can scarcely be necessary dear Brethren, to
enlarge either upon the Importance of our sacred
work, or the beneft to be derived from our Chris
tan conference concerning ii. Oaly let us assure
you, as we conscientiousy can and do, that we
deem this not second in importance to any recen,
religious movement in the State, and we look for
ward to a meeting equal in interest and good re.
suits to any religious meeting held in this city fol
years past
Come then, assured of the hospitable greeting
of your Christian friends and fellow workers in this
good city, and equally assured Of the presence and
blessing Of our Heavenly Father in all our consul
tations
Matters of very special interest will be brought
before the Convention, add programme OF pro
ceedings and more detailed information will bt
published in due time
Every Sunday School in the State is authorized
and requested to send at least one delegate. These
Delegates, together with the Ministers of the Cos
pei OF Virginia and the Committee of Arrange
ments will constitute the Convention. Please sp
point your Delegates at once and send their name:
Immediately to Charles 2. Rady Secretary, Rich
mond, Va.
Re7sn All Ministers of the Gospel, of every de-
nomination, are ex oficio members OF the Conven
ton. They may, however, be instructed to repre-
sent Schools where Deegates cannot attend

calculated to fortify us against it,. They leave the
minister and the Session no discretion IN the
premises. They can meet every objection by say
ing, I'VE are obliged to present, these causes TO
the people. The General Assembly and the Pres-
byterv require this of us.
8. Is no discretion, then, left to the minister or
Session in this matter? The regulations Imply
that there NAV be cases where failure is justiia-
BILE. They also imply, however, that such IN
stances are rare IL is assumed, and no doubt
justly, that it seldom or never happens that there
are none in the congregation who are able to give
anything. 1t is assumed also, that however small
the collection it is worth collecting both tor Its
own sake aud in order to obviate Il bad example
of so many uoncontributipg churches. Besides,
it is well known that many of the non contributing
churches every year are by no means the weak and
poor ones while on the other Rand many OF the
weakest and poorest are regular contributors.
The amount of labor suppc sed to be involved
IN carrying out these regulations, may be ground
of objection to them by some But if the ipjunc
tions be regarded it is obvious that the labor In.
voved will be very small 1t will be simple and
easy matter for each Presbytery to report that II
has fully complied with tie Assomblys order, and
to give the results in the form OF the blank reports
furnished gratuitously for that purpose, Again
if the ministers and Sessions obey and take up the
collections, 1t Will DC very easy anu pedSu"t Ihins
to report the fact to the Presbytery with the re-
suits. And it may safely be assumed, that as soor
as ministers and Sessions know that they Will bt
held to a strict responsibility to the Presbytery II
this business, the number OF failures to be reported
will be trihing.
10. Finally, in view OF the exceeding beauty an(t
glory OF the Church, and her increased strength
aud efficiency iu her great work, arising from ar
unanimous regularity in this matter, in contras
with the deformity and weakness of struggling
broken ranks, may not the Assembly, while fol
good reasons, exercising It's legitimate authority II
the premises appeal to the love and good will, thu
zeal and devotion of all concerned, and count upor
a united and hearty endesVor, for Christ'S sake
and His cause, to give fierce and effect to these
enactments? H. A. B.

American Evangelists in England.

1t is astonishing what religious infuenc
America has been exerting for the last tw
years in Europe, especially in England
Nothing like it has been known before l
is worth crossing the ocean to fad it out.
Moodys and Sankey's labors in EnglanC
are at an end but it is now for the differ
ent churches to gather in the harvest. 1t ii
one of the chief recommendations of thei
work that it was free from all sectarian aims
Their only purpose was to lead men to Chris
as the Saviour from sin and death. They
have proved the power of the elementary
truths over the hearts of men more nightly
than all the learned professors and eloquen
pastors of England could do. As the Meth.
odist Revival, more than hundred years
ago, stopped the progress of Deism, so God
sent these plain laymen from America, to
turn the tide of modern materialism and
atheism. 1t is the old story of the fisher.
men of Gallilee, who confound the learned
and the mighty. 1t is the grace of God be.
hind those men which explains the extraor-
binary religious interest they have awakened
all over Scotland and England. The fare
we'll service given to the American Evange-
lists on the 18th of July, in London, fur.
nished abundant testimony from the mouths
of ministers and laymen of all denomina-
tons, to the fruits of their labors. 1t was
one of those meetings which are not easily
forgotten. 1t is reported that about six
hundred ministers were present. Lord
Shaftesbury said that if the Evangelists had
done nothing else but teach the people of
England to sing with intense earnestness
and energy of heart the song "Hold the
Fort" it would be worth all the labor and
trouble. Mr.. Moody will take few days
rest, and early in August return to America,
to resume his laborS as an Evangelist in his
native land. He will find the religious at.
mosphere prepared for him. Who will not
rejoice and thank God if Christ be preached
and souls converted? 1t is a sin to speak
or act against such religious revival, the
greatest the world has seen since Wesley and
Whitefeld. 1t is the best refutation of
modern in6delity. 1t shows what power
the simple old Gospel story of sin and grace
still has.
The movement of Pesrsall Smith does not
meet with such general approval among
Christian people as Moody's. His perfec.
tionism and idea of instantaneous sanctifca-
ton by faith is stumbling block to many.
DR.. Horatio Bonar, Rev. John G. Ryle, and
others who heartily sympathize with the
Moody movement, have strongly come out
against the theology of the Brighton Con-
vention. By what l heard from several at
tendants at this Convention, as we'll as of the
Smiths Conferences in Berlin, Stuttgart,
Basic, and Elberfeld, l cannot but think that
he has done an immense amount of good,
and made profound impression in favor of
a higher standard of Christian life. One of
his most devoted advocates is the Rev. Theo-
dore Monod of Paris (son of Frederick, and
nephew of Adolf,) who addressed the Brigh-
ton Convention very effectively. He studied
in America and speaks English perfectly

SPECULATION AND RUIN.

The last week has added largely to the
misdeeds and the ruin belonging to reckless
speculation, with which the country was al
ready overstocked. The great Sugar and
MOla88es refining company of Sterling x
Ahrens in Baltimore went over board-de-
faulters to the amount of 100000. To
break down all competition and get mo-
nopOly they undersold others at ruinous
loss to themselves. To sustain the company
under it they applied $8OO,OOO belonging to
a corporation whose business they managed
But disaster and exposure came in due time
The Bank of California fourished like a
green bay-tree;" but it was in career of
wild adventure in matters outside of proper
bank-business, and away it goes-seven mil
lions of dollars beyond its assets The
President, stung by remOrse, threw himself
into the sea and was drowned. Speculation,
fraud and theft, on gigantic scale, run riot
as in the worst days of Roman history. Is
it any wonder the country staggers to and
fro ike drunken man? 1t may be hoped
that such things will bring reaction in the
public mind, and lead to some remedy for
these enormous evils. If not, Society will
at length sink under the stupendous load.
One Of the wrong things needing correc-
ton is the slight censure attached in this
country to running head long into debt
Men engaged in business, singly or by CON-
panies, break and go to pieces to the injury
of thousands of innocent people, and still
maintain their position in society with hardly
a shade upon il Yet in nineteen cases out
of twenty it is tne result either of misman-
agement or reckless dealing commonly the
latter. The public morals Of the country are
sadly at fault in this thing. Debt, beyond
all reasonable probability of paying, is nearly
always a san, not misfortune, and ought to
be so stigmatizsd by an enlightened public
opinion. The careless way in which so many
people run into its vortex, and are eDgulphed,
needs to be scourged by pulpit and press
from one end of the land to the other. 1t
is full of deadly evil, sweeping the country
financially with bosom of destruction
public calamity and private grief beyond all
expression. When Christian people learn
more the healthful virtue of the inspired in
iunetiOn-"08e no man anything, but to
love one another, the better for them and
for the world
