Spiritual Goodness in Church

When We examine the surface-indications
about US, we are astonished at the little in.
terest that church members have in each
other as such. In many cases those who
enter Christian church are left to struggle
into acquaintanceship as best they may left
to battle with their embarrassments without
sympathetic look or cheering word. And
if members are tempted astray, no one feels
under any obligations to call or lead them
back to the fold again. Not few will stand
ready to say rather complacently than Chris
tisnly:
"Just as I expected told you so.-
Couldn't hold out +" All the while the
truth is this, they are frozen out. And as long
as criticism, censure, judgment, exaction as q
tax, devotion dunned out as toll, are per-
mitted to chill the Church, just so long will
young and tender communicates be killed by
the frost. There is too much spiritual No
vember in our churches. If there were no
youthful and inexperienced disciples, no
timid, tender followers Of Jesus; if religion
we're something to lounge in; if going to
heaven were nothing more than torchlight
procession, then persons might choose their
comrades and adopt their regalia and mot
toes according to tastes and times.

LETTER FROM REV. DR. c. A. sTILLMl

LETTER FROM REV. DR.. C. A. sTILLMAN.
Deeply interested in the eVangelisation of
the negroes of Jamaica, and desirouS of CO.
operating with the Rev. DR.. Robb who has
been appointed theological tutor in the Ja-
maica Mission of the United Presbyterian
Church, a gentleman in Edinburgh instituted
some inquiries as to the progress made in the
United States in training converts for the
Office of the Christian paStorate. Among
the replies received by him is the following
excellent communication from DR.. @. A.
Stillman, of TuSkaloosa, Alabama. In the
first part of the letter, Dr.. Stillmsn very
clearly establishes his title to write on this
important subject, by reference to his life
long interest in, and practical endeavorS to
elevate the negro race. In the last part, he
gives the views he has been led to entertain
with respect to the kind of training which,
under the existing circumstances, it may be
best meanwhile to aim at. Between these
two parts of the letter he describes case of
negro elevation, which, though very remark
able, has in it's main features been so often
seen on the many fields of missionary labor
among this people, that it is we'll fitted to af-
ford both encouragement and warning to
their friends.
"The General Assembly of the Presbyte-
risn Church South" says DR.. Stillman,

lish at this place an institute for the educa-
ton of colored ministers, and appointed me
to preside over it. / fear l shall entirely

Be Not Afraid of Their Terror.

"The oppositions of science, falsely So

than any real danger to be apprehended
from them requires. The simple truth of the
Bible will prevail. The holy lives and USE

will commend themselves to every mans con-
science in the sight of God. The ark is safe,
we need not fear. He that believeth shall
not make haste. The men who are trying

to undermine the foundations of our faith

civilization which they labor to destroy. Il

FIXING THE TRUTH.-When Dagusrre was
working upon his sun-pictures, his greatest
difficulty was to fix them. The light would
imprint his image, but soon as the tablet was
taken from the camera the image vanished.
AT last he discovered chemical solution
which would fix the image and give him
permanent picture. So the truth is hard to
fr in mans heart.
