The Educational Institutions of the Reformed
Church.

These have had an experience OF hardship and
hindrance at first, followed by subsequent growth
not unlike that Of all kindred institutions In this
country. 1t should be known that the chief seats
of learning in the United States were founded IN
main by Protestant olergymen, who right well knew
how intimate is the connection between science,
literature and religion Out of their small salaries
they drew contributions for collegiate education
By their exemplary liberality they induced others
to join in their efforts. They laid foundations
whose superstructures stand to-day, the defence
hope and glory of our land Our chief institutions
are at New Brunswick, N. j. At the beginning
Rutgers College was both classical and divinity
school, The College and the Theological Seminary
were served by one Faculty. The separation of
the two came as their respective Importance grew,
and means for their sustentation increased. The
Presidents of Rutgers College have been Rev. Drs
Jacob r. Hardenbergh, John H. Livingston and
Philip Milledollar, Hon. A Bruyn Hasbroack, Hon.
Theodore Frelingbuysen, and the present incum-
bent of the office, Rev. DR.. William ii. Campbell.
1t is impossible to speak in terms OF extravagant
praise of Dr. Campbels administration. He has
raised the College from penury to attuence, from
condition of weakness to OF great strength. 1t
has now position inferior to no other college in
the Middle States It's Faculty is composed of men
thoroughly prepared to do skilful work as educa-
tors. Professors Cooper, Murray, Reilly Doolittle,
Cooke, and Lockwood are among our best contri-
butors to the classical and scientific literature OF our
age. Nothing is now needed at New Brunswick
but the addition of law school to make our cluster
of institutions there complete. The Grammar
School, College, School Of Science, and Theologi-
cal Seminary are all cordially sustained, and are

Returned Home.-Dr. Henry NJ. Field Pro-
prieter aud editor of the Neao York Evangelist has
been absent for fifteen months in tour around the
world. The admirable letters written during his
travels have been read with extraordinary interest
We beg leave to unite with the many who welcome
him back to the useful labOrs of former years. Ia
q very pleasant editorial in the Evangelist Of last
week, he says at the conclusion;
And now the long journey is over, the pilgrim,
age ended, and once more in his accustomed place,
the writer addresses himself to the future. lie
comes back, il not "a wiser and ssdder man,
at least he hopes, with little of the humility Of

him nothing else, ii bas q, least taught him how
vide is the world-the world for which Christ died,
ard which sill groaneth and trsvai6t h in pain,
'sIghipg to be renewed . To labor for It's real
aud highest good during the years that are lett TO
him OF the earth, is his sole remaining ambition.
To make men be't,r and happier, to dry up the
tears of SORROW to comfort those who are heavy in
heart and to guide the erring ID the way OF peace
is the only thing worth living tor. II the knowl-
edge he has gained shall enable him to render more
effective service to any which has for its OBJ

New and Old Friends.

DR.. Field, in his first editorial in the Neio Yorl
Evangelist since his return, says:
Nor are the friends made during the past year
confined to America alone. The new friend, hips
formed in travel are among its most pleasant mem
cries. In wandering over the earth, one sees
something more than strange cities and countries,
towers aud temples and ruins. He sees new peo-
pies, among whom he forms not only atq Iaintences
but often friendships, which remain long after he
has sailed away from their shores. Thus the
whole globe is belted with points OF light. Some
shiDg of this pleasure has been ours, so that in
looking back over the long Journey we recall many
happy and hospitabie homes under Eastern palms
aud mango groves, to which our hearts return with
warm affection.
Ga leaving Hong Kong for Y okohoma, we sent
a telegaphic despatch to America. As the O. bic
across the Bay OF Bengal from Penang to Madras
was broken. it had to be sent by the way OF Sibe-
ria. Yet distance and circuity did not cause it to
lpcer. Swift as shaft of light it SHOT up the
coast of China, and sped across the whole breadth
of the continent of Asia, and OF Europe. till it
plunged into the Atlantic, and rising on these
Shores it whispered its message of coming into
the destined ear, thus completing twothirds of the
globe in one direction, while completed the re.
naming third in the other. This winged courier
of the air resembles the fight of thought itself,
and as that swift intelligence few over mountains
aud plains, so does memory take airy wings to bear
US away over the seas TO happy homes in the ut
termost parts of the earth. Even Southern and
Eastern Asia--the Far Cathay-is no logger wholly
unknown to US. 1t is invested sith interest, not
only as the abode of strange races ard the sceDe of
historical events, but as the home OF friends, and
it is very sweet to US to think that We shall not be
forgotten in many kind circle in the arthest East
in India, ia Burmah in lava, 10 China and ia
pan May our Father watch over all those kindly
hearts and homes We we're strangers, and they
took US 10. We have tlsted of their bread and
drank of their cup. We have sat at their tables
and knelt at their affairs, and today, as We sit at
oceans, our grateful remembrance aud loving bene-
diction.

NorEs ON THE MINUTES OF THE GENERAL
AsSEMBLY.-0ur readers are indebted to the
Rev. DR.. E. D. Junkin for a number Of ar
ticles on this subjec', and they will be fol
lowed by others of like import. They de-
serve the study of all our ministers and peo-
pie. Very few copies of this document are
taken except by our ministers, and not by
all of them. How they ge! along comfort
ably without it is mystery; We should as
soon think of doing without hat
Bua those who take the Minutes do not
always systematise, compare and study them.
Hence it is that this kind of dissection is
very interesting and useful to the whole
