FRATERNITY.

The Rev. Dr. Lovick Pierce is the patri-
arch of the Southern Methodist Church.
Above ninety years of age, he is yet able to
write and to preach, and is reVered wherever
known for his piety, ability, wisdom and
faithful service. The following from a
card in the Southern Christian Advocate pre-
8ents striking view of fraternity, as viewed
on Baptist principles.
"T0 all 0hOm at mag Concern l have
taken on me-not by request, but by inward
promptings--the ministry OF Christian fra
ternity. Assuming, as you will readily al
low, that all true believers are children Of
God by faith in Jesus Christ, and make in
Him one Christian family; so that, if there
should be too many to come to the Lord ;
table at one time, they should wait one fol
another, and sup at the same table, not have
different and separate tables, as if of differ
ent grades and races, have preached two
sermons on this Christian fraternity scheme
They have both been blessed with evidences
of divine approval and sufficiently clear and
strong to satisfy me that L am called mere
unto. Accordingly, have written two mum
bers on this fraternsl movement, which
hope you will publish as early as possible
after>this card
The point of the venerable Drs. article is
enforced by his own case. For, "the Pres
byterians receive members from US, as church
members, simply transferred for domestic OF
personal reasons. No session is called to in
quire into their religious status. Oar letter
of acceptabeness is all sufficient; no rebap
tizing. But if were situated so, now, tha
in my seventy-three years of acceptable
church membership, and seventy first of my
public ministry, had to seek refuge in the
Baptist Church, or be in no Church, woulC
be treated as de novo Casa sinner jus
converted. This is Extensively pharisaical il
all of its aspects.

From the Missionary for September.
Ladies Missionary Societies.

The pastor of one of our Southwestern
churches, whose heart is in all the Church's
work, sends some pleasant incidents connect
ed with the Ladies Society of his congrega-
ton. It is hoped that his interest in this
good work may stimulate the zeal Of others,
and that from many churches We may hear
cheerful tidingS of growing and sustained
interest in the cause of God.
Our Ladies' Missionary Association continues to
be blessed of God in the missionary spirit of its
members, aad in the cultivation of the grace of
giving of their means to the advancement of the
Saviour Kingdom in regions beyond. There are
many interesting incidents connected with the his.
tory of this Association, which greatly encourage
faith in God, and labor IN his service. Thus far
our ladies have been able to send you each month,
since their organization, twenty FIVE dollars; and
they hope to do so 10 the future. The means will
come of their diligent efforts, and Christians trust
in the faithful promises. The past encourages
their belief that it will be so.
At the close of the second month OF the Associa-
ton the Treasurer reported the amount Of twenty
dollars of collections, but | had received few
days previous, Though the Post Office letter,
signed, "A Young Man." enclosing FIVE dollars,
asking my acceptance of it for the Ladies Mission
airy Association, and informing me that he had laid
it aside for some amusements OF the week, but
hearing my appeal on the proceeding Sabbath, ne
willingly offered it to the cause of Missions. That
young man was received into the membership Of
our Church at the following communion and is In
high esteem.
Another hlcideaL-At the close of another
month labors, the Treasurer reported at the open
ing of the weekly meeting the amount in the
treasury of six dollars and fifty cents, which how
ever, had increased by the payment Of weekly dues
of the attending membership to twenty-one dollars.

five dollars, that the usual sum might be forward

with ten dollars for any charity IN your Church.
which is, in your judgment, deserving of help.
And so, though it was In my heart to supplement
the amount short, the Lord provided it cut OF an
other treasury Aud there was a surplus this time.
And so His word was verified. And to him that
hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance

FROM THE SOUTHERN STATES.
West Hanover Presbytery-Additional

1t appeared by the free conversation on the state
of religion, that religious services were generally
well attended, number OF additions made to the
churches, Sabbath School work engaged in with
interest, aud new points presenting themselves for
the preaching of the gospel.
Presbytery declined to adopt the Assenbly's
Plan for raising the Commissioners and Contingent
Funds; but in view of the special effort the As
sembly is making to bring all the churches up to
their duty in reference to Systematic BeDefcence
the following resolutions were adopted:
l. That all our ministers serving churches, be
required, as those are now, whose congregations
are aided by the Sustentation Committee, to ex-
pound to their people, at least annually, the duty
and privilege of giving to Christ as an essential
part of acceptable worship; and that compliance
with this Injunction be inserted in the written re-
port to Presbytery on the state of religion.
2 That the Sessions be epjOiDed to use all prac.
ticable means to secure contributions from the
members of our churches, who do not regularly
attend the Sabbath services
3. That as our monthly periodical, The Mission
ary represents the interests of four out of SIX OF
the objects of benefcence to which we are specially
called to contribute its circulation should be en-
couraged by all our pastors.
In furtherance of our Evangestic work, plan
of enlarged operations was devised to occupy fields
in the counties of Amherst, Nelson, Louisa, Or

ResolUed, That the execution of this plan vii

HOW is THIS?

We find the following among the proceed
ings last week of the Common Council Of the
city of Petersburg, Va.
Mr.. Hinton said that he had been called on by
the pastor of the Catholic church in this city, and
asked that the town assist the Catholics in building
a school house. The reason given for the request
was good one. The creed of the Catholics does
not allow them to send their children to Protestant
schools They ask that the sum Of 81 600 be given to
assist them in the erection of building that will
cost between IS 600 and $4,000.
Mr. Hinton moved that the city note, at twelve
months, for 81, 600, be given to the pastor OF ST.
Josephs church, for the purposes asked, aud as 1t
would fall due after the assessment OF taxes for the
next year, that the Finance Committee De then IN
struoted to increase the assessment to meet the
amount,
MIR. Jarratt thought too much money was being
expended already on public schools, and he would
therefore oppose the appropriation.
Mr.. Hinton said be hoped to see the day when
every parent would be forced to send his children
to the public schools. He was IN favor OF hrlog
iug uD the public schools TO the highest standard,
As matter of economy alone he believed it would
be wise to make this appropriation. The Catholc
denomination had never asked a cent from the
city for their schools while they had been taxed
every year for the support of Protestant schools.
1t was a simple act OF justice to assist.
| Mr.. b. A. Goodwin also favored the approprla-
ton.
DR.. Pearse said while he wanted all classes ed.
ucsted. and pposed sectarian Schools ne would
yet vote for this appropriation
/ The roll was called, after some further debate
and announced as follows:
AgeS-Messrs Bnisseau, Crowder, Ducey, Il A
Goodwin, Hinton, Nugent, j NJ. Parham Pearse
| Robinson, Scott, West and White-l2
! NOeS-Messrs. Jarrrtt, Morgan and j. L. Par
hans
The motion was therefore lost for want Of a con
stitutional majority.
Mr.. Scott then moved that the city's note, a
u months. for 81 ,000 be given for the purposes
asked, which was adopted by vote OF ayes II
noes 3.
VIII some one from the city of Petersburg

is, upon its face, so surprising? What il
meant by the IS Protestant Schools, herr
mentioned? Are they State or city institu
