SUsTENTATIoN AND TEN PER CENT.-The
Presbytery of South Alabama at its recent
meeting adopted the following resolution

OUSIENlAIlON AND EN- PEh OhN1- 1h0
Presbyter of South Alabama at its recent
meeting adopted the following resolution:
The rule requiring certain per cent. of the
Education Fund to be sent to our Presbytenal
Committee was abolished, and churches are direct
ed to transmit the whole Of their collection for this
object to the Assembly Committee at Memphis.
A somewhat pun gent article on the "Sur
viVal of the Fittest on the first page Of this
paper covers the same principle in its rela-
ton to Sustentation. 1t gives US sincere
pleasure to observe that the Presbytery Of
South Alabama has taken the back track as
to the cause of Education, and that track has
often much to commend it. While concediDg
the right of Presbyteries to determine their
policy according to their own good pleasure,
We cherish the conviction-snd it grows
stronger with the progress of years--that the
plan so we'll considered and cordially adopted
by our General Assembly, and which looks
to a general, complete and direct ct0pera
ton in every part of our organization, is one
full of wisdom. 1t has been "full of mercy
and good fruits. Without it the Church in
many places would have withered and per-
ished. As DR.. Franklin said when the Dec
Iarstion of Independence was signed, so We
may say now, $ If We don't hang together,
we shall hang separately"

RELIEF FUND.-We again call attention
to the brief articles on this subject furnish
ed by gentleman thoroughly acquainted
with it. Let the considerations presented
be weighed according to the important in
terests involved In the first place they ap
peal to our congregations throughout the
Church. The salaries of ministers of the
gospel are in general grievOusly small, wien
regard is had to the station they occupy, the
expenses incurred, and the culture required.
What congregation is there which might not
be able, by little management, to secure a
provision for the family of their pastor, which
in the event of his death would be of great
value, and the knowledge of which would re,
lieve his mind greatly while living?
But if congregations fail to do this, then
can not brethren themselves fad some means
to set apart small sum for this purpose
It would certainly supply much needed
comfort to those whose welfare must of course
b. very near their hearts.
