Rev. John Nelson D. D.. pastor of the Free West
Kirk, GreenOok, Scotland, died at Edinburgh,
January Goth, 1878 DR.. Nelson was man Of in
Huence In his own country, well known in many
parts of the continent Of Europe, and greatly loved
aRd houored by large circle of friends. He was
born in Edinburgh, October, 1920 His father
the late Thomas Nelson, was the founder of the
extensive publishing house of T. Nelson & Sons,
London, Edinburgh, and New York. DR.. Nelson,
after he graduated with hOnOrs at the University OF
Edinburgh, studied at Berlin, Bonn, and Heidel-
berg, becoming thoroughly yersed IN German lite
nature, and so familiar with the language that he
sometimes preachedin it at Greenook to persons
who used it. Funeral services were performed at
Edinburgh by Rev. Drs Goold and Cairns, and at
Greenock by Rev. Dr. Cairns, Professor Blake,
Rev. Mr.. Bonar, and Rev. Mr.. McFarlane. "The
memory OF the just is blessed"
The famine in the Northern provinces of China
rivals in severity that which is passing away in In
dla. Not less than seventy millions of people are
affected, and cannibalism prevails to horrible eX
tent. The severity of this Chinese famine is inten-
s6sd by the cold weather. Charles Budd, of the
CHINA Inland Mission at Wachung, says that the
efforts OF the government to relieve the stricken
district Of Shensi nuh6ed by the dishonesty Of
the officials. The population is so dense in all Chi
IA and India that shrinkage of the food supply,
which would not be noticed in this country is most
disastrous there.-IRteriOr.
There is a proposal to invite the Rev DR.. Goold,
Of Edinburgh, to be Principal aud Professor of
Theology of the new Seminary in Victoria, Aus
trsia.
Congress of the Powers Determined Upon.
don, March S.-A Berlin dispatch to the Daily
Ne0S states that Germany accepted the PROPOSE.
ton for a Congress on Thursday afternoon, and
gave notice that Prince Bismarck was willing to
preside. Austria, Russia, Turkey and Italy also
accepted. L. is certain that the Congress will
meet, whether France and England accept or not.
DR.. Jsssup says 1.-THE profound quiet of Syria
IN general, amid all the connections of the Turkish
Empire is marvel 1t seems to me nothing less
than a direct Providennsl interpostion in answer
to prayer. Lebanon is even more quiet than
usual"
skobelsF-is the one Russian General who has
acquired tame in the last war. All three of the
commanders in Asia are Armenians, while Gourko
is q Lithuanian and Rodetsky Gahciau. Skobe-
le Is only thirty three years of age It's said that
on the battle field he is lion, aud when ordered
to retreat, puts bis sword in its sheath aud sends
bis horse ahead. He is q very religious man.
" One cannot face death boldly" he says, who is
not a believer 10 God, and who is without hope of
better world. He leads the soldiers IN PRAYER
and joins in their peculiar chant, which is said 20
0e very touching. He is as modest as he is brave,
and when fresh from the field Of battle, begrimed
aud ragged, be always talks of what others have
been doing, making no reference to his own ex
poits.

Died. March %, at his residence 10 Prince
George county. Va, after brief illness from
pneumonia, SAMUEL P. JORDAN, in the 24:h year
Of his age.
Only few days before this sad event, it was the
writer's privilege to visit the home of the deceased
"a tasteful little cottage which he had planned
for himself, and to which on its completion less
than four months ago, he had carried young and
lovely bride. Here happy in bis home, and in the
love of his young wife, full of health and hope,
surrounded by kindred and hosts Of friends, he en-
tered upon life with all the joyous enthusiasm of
his sunny temperament and ardent nature.
Ony few short months aud death came with
suen startling suddenness as to appsll all others
but himself. He was not in the least dismayed or
even disconnected by the summons. Six years be.
fore he had given his heart to the Saviour, aud
10 Petersburg. The first to recognise the fatal
malignity of MS disease, he calmly assured all
about him that be was ready to go, that he had
not the slightest fear of death, not even the shad
ow Of doubt that J esus 10 whom he trusted would
receive him to the mansions Of the blessed.
As death grew nearer, his views of the Saviour
and of heaven grew brighter, and more inspiring.
He endured the greatest bodily pain without a
murmur In a moment of eXcruciating agony,
looking up to his stricken father bending over him,
he said with a smile, Father, Jesus died for me,
and can die for Him" Thus be passed away in
the full triumph Of an assured faith in Christ leav
ing behind him a memory that will be long fra
grant in the community where he was so widely
known and loved May the tender care of ouI
loving Father be over her whose happiness was
more to him than ite and whose fond hopes all lie
buried in his grave. w.
