STANLEY, the African explorer for the
New York Herald. as will be remem-
bered, returned to Africa, after finding
DR.. Livingstone, for further exploration. !.
He was heard from by letter dated at
the capital of King M'etsa, in April,
1875, moro than year ago; since which
time no tidings of him have been re.
ceived. However, years time from
the interior of Africa is net too long for
the ordinary mail service ofthat country.
We hope STANLEY may come out all
right yet.

party, all of which are to be harrneeaa..zeu
in order to achieve success; and yet the
leader OF each OF those parties is pro-
posed as the leader of the whole Repub-
lican party. To adjust all these various
claims, to harmonize all these rivalries,
to satisfy all these ambitions, to combine
all these forces, is the problem before
the Republican Convention, upon the
solution of which their party success
must mainly depend.
Turning to the Democratic side, we
find that party likewise in dilemma as
difficult to reconcile as that encountered
by their Republican opponents. For, the
Democrats are embarrassed both by par
ty dissensions as to measures and disa-
greements as to men. Encouraged by
the revival of their power within the
last three years, the Democrats are no
longer struggling for existence; they
are combating for dominion. Left by
the nomination of Greeley without an
acknowledged leader, numerous asplr-
ants arise, as among the Republicans,
for nomination to the lead ershlp,
now that success is possible, and
a nomination means something more
than certain sacrifice. But those as
pirants, unlike the Republicans, repre-
sent antagonistic doctrines upon the is.
sues of the campaign. Consequently
the Democratic dilemma involves the
necessity ofreconciling conflicting faiths
as well as conflicting forces. They have
among them Tilden faction, a Thur
man faction, a Hendricks faction, al
Allen faction, and a Bayard faction; and
worse than these, they have currency
faction, whose elements seem irrecon
cilable.

forward by the State OF New York to

in the nomination OF fayorite sons, and
in every instance the nomination was o

PLYMOUTH CHURCH has finally cut off
Nr. Bowen from its membership. Poor
Bowen protested against being turned
out of church whose pastor he said
was guilty of adultery, perjury and such
small vices. Such church must have
suited Bowen remarkably, or he would
not have clungto it to the last. Perhaps
Bowen can now get the chance he has
waited for during seventeen years, to
tell what he knows about Beecher.

The Scotch Memorial.

A correspondent of the New York Euan-
gshst says:
"Ths revival extending through several
years, about 1740, was probably the most
extensive and powerful since the Reforma-
ton. 1t brought into action such men as
Watts, Doddridge, Wesley, Whitfield, Ed
wards, the two Tenants, and FreliDghuysen.
1t gave rise to an international concert of
prayer for the outpOuring of the Spirit,
which has remarkable history, and is espe-
cially worthy of study at the present day,
and during this Centennial year.
The memorial originating this concert,
was issued from Scotland, through Ireland,
England, and North MISUNDERSTANDING the
revival to be the incipient ful6lment of the
prophecy of Zachariah viii 20, p, %.
The concert was proposed first to the lead
ers of the churches as an experiment, then
for the term of two years, and afterward for
several years; and such we're the results, that
it is believed it afterwsrd gave rise to the
Monthly Concert for Missions, in the early
part of this century, and ultimately to the
Evangelical Alliance of the present day.
A copy of the memorial may be found il

The Authenticity of Genesis.

You are invited to observe land this is the
one point which propose to bring before
you,) that although Moses wrote the first
chapter of Genesis, it is certain that in the
authorship of the Ten Commandments he had
no share whatever. They were exclusively
the work (as the two tables on which they
were originally written were exclusively the
workmanship of God. The record on this
head is altogether express and unmistakable:
(" The tables were written on both sides. On
the one side and on the other were they
written. And the tables were the work of
God, and the writing was the writing Of God,
craven upon the tables.
You will have already anticipated all l
would further say. In the Fourth Com
mandment, God had seen fs to pledge Him
self to the historical truth of the first chap
ter of the B ook enesis. This is fact with
which every child is familiar. The seventh
day is to be kept holy, '.tOr IN sir days the
Lord made heauen and earth, the sea and all
that an them is." Here then God solemDly
sets His seal to the Mosaic narrative of Gre
alton. He recapitulates the essential fea-
ture of it, viz that the work was six
DAYS work. and moreover work of pre-
cisely such nature as in Genesis is de-
scribed. The reference in fact to this first
chapter of Genesis is unmistakable and un-
deniable. Here then, We are presented with
the extraordinary spectacle of Almighty God
providing for the authority Of the first page
of His own Book, by solemnly adding His
seal to it; not by the hand, or agency Of an
other, but with His own hand, or at least His
own "fnger." Jehovah q say it for the
last time) Almighty God, without any inter-
vention of man whatever-the Diuine ele.
ment, for once-and for once operating alone,

80 as to silence cavil, and shut up unbelief
eAectually, the Divine element, say, with
out the slightest admixture of the human
element-hath deliberately singled out the
Mosaic history of the worlds creation as the
one passage suprcnely worthy-or else pre-
eminently in need--of His own eternal and
effectual sanction. No other part of the his
torical Scriptures is adverted to in the course
of the Ten Commandments but this. But
for this God comes. down from Heaven. He
singles i5 out. He makes comments upon
it. He rehearses it. He draws practical
inference from it. He interweaves it with
His imperishable Law And the result is
solemnly deposited, by Gods own express
command, within the ark-beneath the
mercy seat-under the shadow of the wings
of the cherubim; reserved in the Holy Of
HOLES, alike Of the tabernacle and of the tenn
pie. For, 'the priests at the dedication Of the

Hardships Of Ministers Wives.
The Christian at Work, referring to thai

The Christian at Work, referring to that
standing topic says:
Indeed they have their trials. They
have not only to look after the congregation,
but the minister. The pastors wife has to
be the friendly critic of the husbands SER
mon and its delivery. If the preacher comes
home with the suspicion that he has made
dead failure in his discourse, she has to per-
suade him that it was not as bad as he sup
posed; that he will yet hear of good done BY
1t; that cur weakest efforts may sometimes
result in a great harvest; that she likes it
better this time than when he preached it in
the other settlements, etc. She has to stand
between him and the door-bell; suppress I'M
pleasant things brought to the house by pes
tiferous gossips; tear up insulting anony-
nous letters and often, on a small salary,
navigate household around the Cape Horn
of large expenses
But O the joys of being minister's wife!
Is she not generally the pet of the congrega-
ton If she have culture and disposition,
she will have more attention shown her than
any other lady in the neighborhood receives
She is sought after, bowed to-, and consulted
on all sides. She has an open door to all
the condolences Of the people. In word,
no one has so fair chance as she. She
may sometimes complain about hardships of
her station, but she is really so we'll satisfied
with her place that she would not exchange
with any one else. We can think of no po-
sition more desirable than that of q minister's
wife, except that Of minister. Trials-of
course. What women are without them p
Ever since Eve was down sick from eating
too many harvest apples, women has had
troubles; but the parsonage is not the fa-
vorite place for their congregating. The
merriest wives we have seen, all up and
down the land, are ministers companions.

TRYING TO TOUCH JESUS.
BY REV. H. H. HALVES.


The sick need physician. 1t will not
do to wait for time to cure them. While we
wait, the disease is gaining strength. After
little it will be incurable.
So We think and act about diseases of the
body. Ought not this also to be our rule as
IS to spiritual sickness :? How many church.
es are waiting for time of revival. 1t will
be a matter of great joy when it comes. But
some are saying, "We must wait Gods
time. In His own good time He will pour
US out blessing" And this means too
often continued sloth, coldness, deadness.-
The ordinances may be regularly observed.
The attendance at church may be very good.
The Word may be faithfully preached. Still
there is sloth, coldness, deadness. And yet
do we not read, "The Word of God is quick
and powerful, and sharper than any two
edged sword?" What is the matter then ?
Why does it seem to have no power? Nay,
it has power in many places. The news Of
good tidings and great joy come US every
week, from some part of the country. But
other parts are still without cheer. They
have the same ordinances and means Of
grace. Why not the same effects? Some
thing is wrong.
Now in the records of the gospel, We read
again and again that the people thronged
Jesus, they pressed near to Him-they
brought their sick to him from all directions,
and sought to touch Him, "for there wen,
virtue out of Him, and healed them all"
That was the way to get the blessing de.
sired It is the way now. When We hear
of the wondrous works of Jesus, done fol
others, our first thought should be, "We
must get near to Him ALSO" No bad condi.
tion is remedied by doing nothing. Many
sinners are lost beessse they are waiting te
get better, before applying to the Great
Physician. Many Christians are in q bad
case for the same cause.
There is but one remedy. We have al
heard what Jesus is doing for others. Ther
we must press towards Him, yea, We mus
seek to touch Him. If We can reach bu
I" the hem of His garment" " virtue" vii
come out of Him aud We shall be healed
Oh that, above all others, those who are dy
| ing in sin would try this. The help or tn
cure can begin only by touching" Jesus
As long as any soul stays away from Him
there is no help, no hope, no cure! Csnno
those understand this who, for years, hav
been trying and hoping to get better AM
are not? There was woman who, beini
afflicted long time, had spent all her liV
ing, chad suffered many things Of man.
physicians and was nothing bet
tered, but rather grew worse" But whe
she heard of Jesus, she came to Him
".touched His garment" and was healed q
once. Waiting was running her, THE com
ina to Jesus saved her, Is not the teachin

GIVING AND WORSHIP.

To the Editor of the Central Presbyterian:
My Dear Brotber,-I confess | was lit
tie startled at your answer to Enquirer,
contained in your issue of 5th inst. Th'
Presbytery of which / am member have jus
adopted Pastoral Letter in which they
quote the words of the last General Assem-
bly, epjoining "upoh all pastors and other
ministers their obi estion to expound fully
to the people the day and privilege Of Civ.
ing to Christ as an essential part Of accep-
table worship" The Presbytery in accord
ance with this delivetshce also solemnly en-
joins their minister "to instruct their
congregations that giving to the Lord as an
act of worship is tobe introduced regularly
into the public seryf of the sanctuary"
Now Of course v9know that giving to the
cause of Christ msybQt be an act of worship,
and is not in the cs cf many who give.-
But is it not true tia, giving to Christ may
Be and ought to be an act Of worship per-
formed regularly by his people? Is not this
expressly taught in Form of Government,
Chap. VII, implied in Directory of Worship,
Chap. VI, Sec. 5, as we'll as in Confession
of Faith, Chap. XXI, Sec. 5, under the
word "vows?" Is not your answer likely
to be misinterpreted by some, who will re-
gard it as variant from the acts of the Gen
ersl Assembly?
Making money at fairs, festivals and con-
certs, when fairly done is very proper
thing. though not an act of worship "any
more than visiting the sick or hoeing patch
of corn" But when the money is made, the
conservation Of it, or part of it, to God, is
an act Of worship and as such finds legiti-
mate place in the solemn services Of Gods
house during the Sabbath. This distinction,
which was evidently in your mind when you
penned your reply, relieves the subject pro-
pounded by "Enquirer" of all difficulty
The good women Of our Church may use any
lawful means to make money. From lawful
means, grab.bags, rafting and all other
modes of gambling are to be excluded
When the money is made, it is theirs to con-
secrate to God or not as they choose. This
truth should be burned into the conscience
of every Christian so that it will never get
out: The fact that the money is to be conse.
Grated to God does not sanctity gambling, nor
transmuts the practices Of the "7iger Dsns"
into legitimate and honorable methods of max
money. WORSHIP.

men now in port--especiaIly among those
who have remained aboard of their ships in
the Fourth District. They have attended
faithfully the Bethel and Mission services as

On last Sunday night, during the o'clock
services at DR.. Palmers church, conducted
by Messrs Hall, Cree and Hardie, eleven
came in at one time with their chaplain, TAX

the services. They had walked about two
miles after their own Bethel services were
ended-one of the number, at the request of
the chaplain, having conducted these Bethel
services.
An event like this should be interesting
not only to such as are laboring in the cause
Of religion, but to every person having the
commercial prosperity of the city ct heart.
