Bishop Marvin and Missions.

ou' iast year ny the M. II. Church
South, to make a tour round tn,
world. is still travelling in tn,
oriental country. His visit to th.
missionary fields of the East bid,
fair to electrify the Christian
church Of the United States. or
the subject of missions. Many o.
his letters, giving account Of what
he has seen and heard since be
departed from us, have been pub.
hshed- in the Nashville Christian
Advocate, and copied by other
papers His letters are very inter.
esting to all who love the novel,
or delight in reading books OF
travel; but by every true Christian
they should be considered as an.
other Macedonian voice, crying
Come over and help u.s." Christi
church has ever been of mis-
slonary character, and every one
who believes in Jesus as the Savior
OF the world, should not only con-
slider giving to the cause of mis-
sions duty, but rejoice that he
has the privilege of contributing
something for the salvation of the
benighted world.
Every person cannot, like Bishop
Marvin, travel around the world
and preach the gospel to heather
nations, out all who love the cause
OF Christ should gladly contribute
something to the support of those
who offer themselves "a living sa-
crlhce" to the PRONUNCIATION of the
glorious gospel in distant lands.
God has declared that His word
shall not return to him void, but
shall accomplish that whereunto
he has sent it. He has in these
last days spoken to us by His son,
and says, the gospel must be
preached in all nations, for wit
ness against them, before the end
of the world shall come.
"God was in Christ, reconciling
the world unto himself but since
the ascension of our Lord, the
word of reconciliation has been
committed unto living ministry,
composed of men called and set
apart to the special work of pro-
claiming the gospel of the Son of
God to the people who sit in moral
darkness. While it is the duty of
a minister to go abroad and preach,
"The kingdom of heaven is at
hand" surely the command is
as imperative to the Law
man to send" if he cannot go;
that is, contribute to the support
of those who give themselves
wholly to the work of the ministry. |
Jesus Christ is represented in
Scripture as being heir of the uni
verse, and as possessing all power
IN heaven and earth;- yet, for our
sake, he became poor; and it is
notorious fact that, while travelling
md preaching on earth, his ply
'ical wants were supplied by his
disciples; and as it pleased the
Father to require his people to
upply the wants of His son, who
S Lord of all things, we need not
'e surprised when we see the de-
rec written "They'who preach
he gospel shall live of the gospel"
t is certainly not unreasonable,
nut proper and right for those who
njoy the enlightening and saving
nhuence of the gospel, to assist in
the same rich blessings to
arth's remotest bounds. = {
The heart of the pious Bishop
Iarvin seems moved within him, {
ince he has seen many thousands ]
{ precious souls, for whom Christ I
led, "wholly given to idolatry." &
lie rejoices, however, that he has i
cen permitted to preach "Jesus |
nd resurrection" in japan, China, l

PLANT CoRN.-How many farmers may be
heard to say next winner, "If had known the
war between Russia and Turkey was going to
involve half of Europe, and run provisions up
to 80 high price, would have planted no cot
ton at all, but put oil my land in corn, peas aud
potatoes, to raise bacon" Well they can still
carry out a part of this plan, and if the war
does not involve half of Europe, Russia and
Turkey, aggregating one hundred millions of
people, are sufficient to raise the prices consid-
erably; and if the prices were not raised at all,
such provision crop would far exceed in value
what the farmer can do with cotton. Corn can
be planted until the middle of May and make
very good crops, especially if the season is wet
as it promises to be. If half the cotton fields.
now planted, were plowed up and planted in
corn, the result would be all the better for the
owners and for the country If the other great
powers of Europe should become involved in the
struggle, what then will you do with your staple,
Mr.. cotton planter? Hold it Well, if you
have no debts to pay, you may do that, but it
will require the sagacity of Philadelphia law
yer, and he to be looking through the most pow
erful perspective, in order to discover tho ghost
of u chance for better prices.

REUNION OF Two METHODIST ORGANIZATIONS
Baltimore, May l0.-A General Convention
of the Methodist Protestant Church. and also of
the Methodist Church, the two principal non
Episcopal Methodist Churches in the United
States, meets in this city tomorrow, the special
purpose being formal reunion of the two de-
nominations. Previous TO 1868, they constituted
one organization, and were then divided on the
slavery question. In October 1875, commissions
appointed by the General Conferences of the two
churches, with the view of establishing frater-
nal relations, met in Pittsburg, and agreed upon
basis of reunion. To confirm the action of
this joint commission by necessary legislation
the Conference will meet tomorrow, and will
subsequently, so into joint session. Bishop
Simpson and DR.. Alex. Gibson will be in attend
ancc as fraternal messengers from the Methodist
Episcopal Church. The reunited body will CON-
prise about one hundred and fifty thousand COM
municants.

IuyurrvW WIcKEDNEss. During the discussion

Mr.. Wells, from Richland, moved to add an
appropriation of $l,lOS67 for the support OF
the Normal School to June l, 1877 and smoke in
favor of his motion, urging it on the ground that
the Normal School was doing much good in the
preparation Of teachers.
Mr.. Simpson-It has been said that the Dem.
ocratic party is pledged to provide educational
facilities for the colored people Well sir, we
have fulfilled those pledges in appropriatinc
large sums for the public schools, and we have
appropriated nothing for the education of the
white children. We intend to keep our pledges,
but we do not intend to foster every institution
that has been gotten up here in the last few
years. In those years the white people have
been almost entirely excluded from education by
the State.
Mr.. Sheppard-rhe constituents of the gem
tlema9 from Rchland (Mr Wels) do not pay
lilo of the taxes while they get 9-1O of the ben
'ehts of education by the State. What recogni
tion have the white people had upon this floor
for the last ten years? Our pledges are more
than redeemed by the appropriations we have
already made, and my only apprehension is that
our constituents may not sustain us in them-
