Christian Homes During the Centennial.

The great number Of visitors expected in Phila
delphia, during the Centennial Exhibition, vii
necessitate the opening OF private homes for board
and lodging. On account of the greet variety Of
characters which will be brought together in hotel:
and public boarding houses it would no doubt be
pleasant for ministers and other Christians, with
their friends, to be associated with kindred spirits
during their stay in the city. Hence arrangements
have been mtds with quite number OF Christian
families, in and around Philadelphia to take a
limited number of such boarders. The price will
be from one third to one.halt less than what will
be charged in the hotels.
Those wishing to secure places under this ar
rangement will please write as long before hand as
possible to the "Ofice for Centennial Christian
Homes" Care of Rev. Edwin NJ. Long, 1859 N.
18th St, Philadelphia, Pa. In reply, the price of
board, ar the number OF the house assigned, will
be given with the best way to reach it, etc.

The part of your letter which [ have read with
most sorrow is the lost. 1t seems to threaten. 1t
warns us that many will not endure longer "insu'
lation." 1t seems to countensnce the tWaddie
which calls our consistent attitude Of self respect
and fidelity to truth Chinese exclusiyeness. -
But, in fact our Church, after having been treated
as "specked bird by SO many of her protested
sisters, for so many years OF sorrow, instead OF
standing aoof as she might SO naturally do, as no'o
maintaining freer and opener relations with the
Protestant world, that did the old Assembly OF
lS5S-6O. This is stubborn fact. Are we not IN
closer relations with the (Dutch) Reformed
Church, than the old Assembly ever was with any
sister Church? Are not all our ministers and peo-
pie free to maintain ministerial and Christian com
munion with all such members, even OF the
Churches which accuse u.s. as are willing to ask IL!
Now, in the face OF these facts what is the mean
ing of this groundless cry about insulation p
Does il mean that the maintenance Of their own
principles is becoming iatiguing to some brethrenf
Does it mean that there is not scope and verge
ample enough for their energies and ambition ID
the unbuilding of our own Southern Church in this
wide land7 What does it mean?
And now will employ another " ricketty anal
ogy" to show how this spirit strikes my common
sense. Here is righteous commonwealth engaged
in defensive war, for sacred rights, surrounded by
brave citizen soldiers, who profess an ardent and
intelligent devotion to those rights, and regard the
assaants altogether as the aggressors. This right
eous contest still pending, the commonwealth takes
some defensive measures, Involving no question OF
principle or dishonor such, for instance, as de-
dining to receive useless flag of truce the enemy
wish to send which part Of the soldiers regard
as indscreet. And tbereupon these men threaten
to turn against the cause and principles they have
been all along declaring holy and precious, to the
cause they had pronounced wrong and aggressive.
repeat, it is with profound sorrow that hear
son of our free Christian commonwealth, so true
and loyal as you in an unguarded moment seem to
give countenance to others in such an inconsistent
cy. As for myself, the Southern Church has more
than once taken measures which my prudence dig
approved 10 such cases have dissented by re.
spectfu and candid argument, as ] intend always
to claim my right of doing. But sooner than for
sake the Church of my conscientious choice, be-
cause she does not always adopt my opinions OF
the discreet | shall pray with the Psalmist tina.
" my right hand may forget her cunning, and my
tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth
Truly and iraternally yours, as ever,

FROM THE SOUTHERN STATES.

Union Theological Seminary EdpdTd
county, w., April 49, l876-The examinations in
this Institution of the junior, middle and senior
classes, which commenced on April 9th, were con
tiuued daily upon the various studies which bad
been pursued throughout the whole OF the session
from the 9th of August, 1875 to April, 1876; ard
these examinations ended on Tuesday afternoon OF
last week. Great sklfuness of the professors as
teachers, and digept application on the part OF
the students generally, we're manifested 10 these
protracted examinations, which lasted TOR SIX days,
consuming about eight hours day.
Ga Tuesday evening the Board of Directors ADD
Trustees met. and continued their sessions until
Wednesday night, transacting tremendously much
important business
The Trustees adopted resolution of instruction
to the Professors to make all proper efforts to ln-
duce the students to cultivate a familiar acquaiD-
lance with the English Bible and the Catechsms of
our Church. As prerequisite to awarding the
usual certificate of having completed the course OF
study students will be required to stand salisfsc-
torv examinations.
Library Building --Lu consequence Of portion
of the public securities held by the Seminary,
being depressed at present, and would not com.
mand their value If sold, las would be necessary il
the library building was erected) it was deemed ex-
pedient to postpone this work. But suitable &C.
commodations for parties using the increased ibrsry
were made.
Sir months Term The Assembly having ap.
pointed committee charged with this and kindred
subjects, the Trustees after discussion deemed 1t
expedient to postpone till 1871 the further con.
sideration of the report OF 1875 as also Of any
changes in the course of study and in the time Of
beginning the term.
% Tuesday night there was an address before
the Society of ltqairy" missionary by Colonel
j. T. L. Preston, Of the Virginia Military lnsti-
tute, Lexington. His suffice was " An Authors

| On Wednesday morning there was an address
before the alumni by Rev. G. r. Vaughan d. d.,
now Of Raleigh, N. 9. Subject: 1.-THE Propa-
gandist Nature of the Church"
There is no space for full and fair analysis Of
these addresses. But the universal opinion was
that they we're both exceedingly able, interesting,
and instructive.
| The next session opens August oh. 1876.
1t continues to be matter OF regret that the
Presbyteries have not deemed it ezpedient to post
pone their Spring meeting. till after the annual
meetings of the Trustees. The inconvenience was
felt by some Of the class and by trustees as we'll
