From the Missionary for September
Our Removal.

The Offices Of Foreign Missions and Su9tentaton
will be located in Baltimore about the time that
this number of the Missionary reaches It's readers.
Correspondents are therefore requested hereafter
to address the Secretaries and Treasurer care L.
o. Box 33l, Baltimore, Md. The interests OF
these departments OF the Churchs work have been
we'll cared for by those to whom, for number OF
years, they have been intrusted at Columbia, and
debt Of gratitude is due to the members OF the
former Committees for their painstaking and la.
borious discharge of the duties imposed upon them.
This has been accorded by successive General As
scmblies, and is no doubt recognized throughout
the Church. 1t is hoped, however, that the pre-
sent change of location, made necessary especially
by the growth and exgencies OF the Foreign Mis-
sonary work, will be promoive, not only or the IN
terests OF this cause but also OF the various branch
eS OF Its twin sister, the work OF Snstentatlon 1t
was apprehende6 by some of the members OF the
last General Assembly, that the removal OF the
Committee OF SustentatOn, to point so far north
as Baltimore, might weaken the ties between 1t and
the Presbyteries 10 the South West We are glad
to say that subsequent correspondence with mum
Der of brethren in that section of the Church does
not confirm these apprehensions, but on the con-
trary so far as expressions have reached US, they
generally exhibit satisfaction with the Assembly
action. And there is no reason why the affairs oil
this department may not be as well administered
in Baltimore as at any other point within the
bounds OF the Church. We are sure too that the
gentlemen who compose the present Committee
will act upon large and comprehensive views EN-.
braciug the interests of the whole Church, and will
strive specially to build up the weaker and newer
Presbyteries to the full extent Of their ability
There is no danger to this cause to be apprehended
if the Presbyteries will only awake to their respon-
siblities, and take such order as will bring their
ministers and churches into co. operation with the
work. On behalf, then, of this department. as
well as that of Foreign Missions, we invoke the
hearty, steady, and cordial aid of brethren in all
parts of the Church. If this is accorded, we are
sure that the date Of our removal will prove the
date of revived interest in these great causes,
aud will be the beginning of new era in the pros
perity and growth of the Church.

THE POWER OF SONG.

Sankey's Singing. Some one writing
about it says that " the secret of his success
is that he has nothing artistic in his style
He sings aO5th soul, and for souls. Some
times he sinks almost to whisper in accord
with tie spirit of the hymn, and sometimes
with wonderful power of voice he carries all
before him."
Culture in the true sense of the word, is
and always will be good thing in singing,
as in everything else. Let it be with sim
picity and godly sincerity, and the more the
better. What stiles to death the work OF
praise in many sanctuarieS is this elaborate,
artistic, operate style of singing-as polish
ed as marble, it may be, and as cold. Let
the church have the plain, heartfelt singing
of Mr.. Sankey, or the plain heartfelt sing
ing of the whole multitude; then its awaken
ing and comforting power will every where
be felt If what has been witnessed of late
in Great Britain as to the real power OF oil
vine song, shall have the effect of bringing
US back to the simplicity that is in Christ,
and which should ever mark this and all
parts of our worship, great good will be
accomplished. Give US the song of the null
itude, {" as the voice of many waters" there
is nothing like it in its real power. But in
mercy save the Church from the killing frost
of the operS and its accompanying "trick'

For THE CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN.
Annual Collection for the Evangelistic Fund
OFFICE OF SUsTENTATIoN,


Baltimore, Nd, August 18th, 1875.
Dear Brethren,-In presenting for your liberal
consideration the annual collection for EoangeliStc
york, (which occurs on the lst Sabbath of Sep
TENDER or as soon thereafter as may be conveniently
we beg to remind you of the Importance of the
cause which appeals to you. This department of
work embraces a large portion of the effort made
by the Presbyteries to extend the bounds Of our
Zion, to give the gospel to destitute places, and to
care for and gather together into church organiza-
tons our scattered Presbyterian people. None,
we presume, will question its importance. Upon
its vigorous prosecution depends in great measure
the eyangezatiou of some portions of our terrific
~ as we'll as the strengthening and growth of our
own Church. 1t is therefore necessary, if we would
he true to the doctrines and ordinances we love,
and to the gospel in which we trust, that we put
forth increased efforts to build up our waste places
and TO plant and nurture new Presbyterian church
es. LAST year 6fty.six churches were organized by
our Presbyteries, many of them through the la
bors of the Presbyterial Egangelists. Twenty-one
Of these Evaugelists were aided from this fund,
and several additional ones have been added to
this list during the current year. Besides these,
at least a dozen Presbytbries ought to land most
of them doubtless will, put EVangelists into the
field at their fall meeting. This will involve a
much larger outlay than has ever been possible
heretofore, and makes the demand tor increased
and more general contributions imperative. All,
however, that is needed can easily be raised, if the
churches will only come up to their duty. Last
year there was painful neglect of this cause, more
than three-fourths of the churches having given
nothing, and tbMMs of many Of the contributing
churches bs kntably small: In only one
member was ~ d<Rcents. T14wfscts show con-
olusively that in large portion of the Church no
real effort was made, and upon them We feel war
-anted in bssing an earnest appeal to all concerned
10 come up to the help Of this work, which is vital
10 the rapid and extensive growth of the Church.
de our ministers, and Sessions, and deacons courts
we ask that the collections may be taken up as
generally and promptly as possible after the nature
IF the object has been explained, and of our Chris
ian people we beg that liberal response to the
cause which its importance demands, and their
ability may permit.

A COLD JOKE ON AN OLD JOKER.

The other evening about eight young
bloods from 16 to 20 years Of age, went
to the creek near town to skate. Among
them was one who had never neglected
an opportunity to play a trick on his as
sociates, and in many instances his prac-
tical Jokes had been very disagreea6let,
and bevond the limits of decency. His
comnanions had never been successful IN
repaying these unpleasant tricks, al he
was generally on his guard and hard
one to catch. When they got on TO the
ice they began the fun by playing tag,
and presently, growing tired OF that, they
selected a limited area, and proposed
blind mans bluff, as a means OF Jolly
tun. All agreed to this proposition. ana
thew PLAYED for quite while within
space of about 100 square feet, different
members of the party going II ollnd'
Finally it became time for the Joker to
have his ewes bandged, and he submitted
after much protesting. He had faint
idea that the boys were putting up a

different from theirs. He chased them
about, carefully at first, but warming up
to the sport. ne gre" lesS Vau'l0u9' "ilH
as he could not tell which way ne was
going. the boys led him out OF the
bounds, and presently he went on ms
knees through hole into about four feet
of water. As soon as his cold head
nonped above the surface, he heard the
boys laughing gleefully at the joke, and
resolved not to be beaten so easily, SO,
blowing the cold water from his mouth
and nose like porpoise, and scrambling
on to the ice, chattering like ChlImpan'

Then he tore the bandage from his eyes,
and casting a meaning glance at the
crowd, started for home with a deter,
mination of squaring off that account if
il should take half century.
