SYNOD of Alabama.
X X

This Synod met at Talladega, Alabama, on
| Wednesday, October 29th, at P. NJ. and was
opened with an excellent sermon from Rev. f..
P. Palmer, D. D., of Mobile, on Isaiah XVI: 3, 4.
Rev. D. D. Sanderson, D. D., of Tuscaloosa
Presbytery, was elected Moderator. This is done
by rotation Of Presbyteries as well as the place
OF meeting. Ruling Elder Robert Lapsley, and
Rev. A. ]. Handy, were elected recording and
reading clerks
Stirring addresses at differeut times were made
by Rev. DR.. McIlwaine, on Foreign Missions
and Home Missions, and responses made by com
mittees appointed on these subjects, to act, here
after, as Permanent Committees.
Rev. ]. K Hazen, D. D., presented the cause
of Publication in very lucid manner, and
Synod urged all its churches to give more to this
cause, and especially to increase the circulation
of the Earnest Worker and CbQdren'S Friend.
Rev. DR.. Stillman spoke of the Colored In
stitute, at Tuscaloosa, as in hopeful condition,
and Synod urged the organization of colored
churches where practicable
Rev. Z. ?. Palmer, D. D., by request, present
ed the Education cause, stating that sixty can
didates were now under care of the Committee,
and others expected
Rev A. R. Holderby gave most excellent
account of the Orphans Home, at Tuskegee,
where there are thirty orphan children, OF Whon
seven had Just been received into the church,
making over seyenty-hve thus hopefully saved
in that institution.
A new Executive Committee was appointed,
of which Rev. T. W. Hooper, D. D., is to act as
chairman, and we are urged to raise an amount
sufficient to double the number Of inmates
There is no better cause in all our bounds for
the liberal contributions of Gods people.
One episode of Synod, long to be remembered,
was an an address of Rev. A. B. McCorkle, of
Virginia, who for twenty-seven years served the
church at Talladega, and whom Synod had in
vited to preach, or to address them, as his failing
years would permit. If there was dry eye IN
the Synod, or in the congregation, l did not per-
ceive it. and the venerable DR.. Nall led in a
most touching prayer.
Synod is to meet next year in Pensacola, Flor
ida, on Wednesday before the 4th Sabbath of
November, at P NJ. I. W. h.

Winchester Presbytery-It Condition
and Outlook

MesSrS Ed5torS,-It may be gratifying
to the many friends of the venerable
Presbytery Of Winchester to see brief
statement of its condition and outlook.
Recent reports show that there is a
larger number of ministers upon its roll
than ever has been reported in its history
and that every one of its thirty three
churches has the stated ministrations of
the Word-not one is vacant This is,
no doubt, mainly due, under God, to the
energy of its earnest committee on Home
Missions, of which Rev. A. G. Hopkins is,
and has, for so long, been chairman
Each of the churches contribute to Sus-
tentation and Foreign Missions, and a
large majority contribute to all the other
causes recommended by the General AS
sembly.
The Presbytery has three evangelists,
one devotes his labors to three feeble
churches and the large fields around
them; another for one-half of his time
supplies the church at Petersburg, Grant
county, West Virginia, and gives the
other half to missionary work in other
parts of that county. The. third, called
by remarkable providences from his
mountain home, and filter for his work,
has gone back to Tucker, Grant, and
Mineral counties, to labor in wide regions
where the voice Of a Presbyterian minis
ter has been rarely heard.
Besides these direct efforts to overtake
the wants of its missionary field, each Of
its ministers is required to give some of
his time to work outside of his own
charge For this purpose, the Presby-
terry is divided into four districts and the
ministers are apportioned to each Of them
by the Presbytery.
Some of its pastors occupy extensive
fields, and preach at a number Of points
in them; among these may be mentioned
Rev. DR.. H. NJ. White Of Winchester,
who, sometimes with an assistant) be-
sides the Loudon St. church, ministers to
three or four places in the county; so also,
with Revs A. G. Hopkins, E. L. Wilson,
]. NJ. Clymer, NJ. W. Woodwork g. w.
Finley and Others The result of such
efforts is seen in several new churches
erected, the Strengthening of most of the
churches, and in occupying new points
within its bounds. Never was the Pres
bytery in better working order, and with
the blessing of God upon its ministers and
members, never had more hopeful out
look. Xxx

ran Missi0f III San Francisco has been put IN
good repair, to the great qualification of the mis-
sionaries and other friends, American and
Chinese. The attendance at the school and
chapel services is spoken of as encouraging.
The justification of the most earnest work
which women can give to Foreign Missions is in
the fact that the bondage of heathenism falls
heaviest upon women"
In Central Turkey the Protestant community
has made gain Of twelve per cent, and of
200 registered members within the year
A deep interest is awakened among the stu
dents in the Hartford Theological Seminary in
the foreign missionary work. A large proper
ton of them in all the classes have expressed
their willingness and determination to under
take this work, unless providentially prevented.
A missionary band has been formed.
The general summary of the American Board
shows a total Of 67S mission stations and out
stations l554 missionaries, pastors and helpers;
251 churches, to which 2,034 converts have been
added during the year, and 26,737 pupils in the
mission schools
A year and half ago mission for lepers
was established in North India by a missionary
of the Church of Scotland 1t has now three
asylums, with eighty inmates, and Of these
twelve have professed Christianity. Amoreun-
attractive missionary field cannot well be found.
A conference of missionaries of the Brahmo
Soma the Theistic Church of India has been
held, and an address to the Somajes against sem
suality and skepticism. Following is quota
ton from it;
Whereas instances Of corruption, doctrinal
and moral, among protesting Brahmos, both in
the metropolis and in the provinces, have been
from time to time brought to our notice, it be-
cometh us to administer, in the name and under
the command of God Almighty and in the in
terest of our Church, such warning unto our
brethren in all parts of the country as may help
to insure the purity of our doctrines and of
public morals The Lord has in all ages rebuked
men of little faith, treating the least skepticism
on the part of his people as a sin and an abom
nation Every believer is bound to believe
thoroughly and firmly, never doubling, never
wavering. Whose deliberately harbors doubts
/ in regard to the essentials of faith or SCOTS at
the vital truths of religion is an enemy Of God
and our Church. Whose suffers himself to de-
cline spirituality, devotion, and faith and boasts
of his growing rationalism is a renegade, whose
contact defleth the church to which he belongs.
Such men should be so treated that they may
see and shun the danger of their situation. We
humbly request the ministers and leading men of
all the Brahmo Somajes in India to protect the
vital doctrines of our Chnrch-namely, the
Reality of Divine Presence, Providence, Inspira-
tion Daily Prayer Communion, Immortality,
etc.-and to promote by every means in their
power the highest spirituality and devotion
among the Brahmo community. And We beg,
too, that our sacred and dear church may be
effectually kept free from the influence of doubt
ers, materialists, skeptcs, and scofers of all
classes"

FOREIGN CHURCH NEWS.

The Scottish Episcopal Church makes an ap-
peal to England IN behalf OF its Clergy Fund"
which aims to add 9lOO to the income of each
rector and $500 to that of each bishop. The
salary of more than half of its clergy is under
GI50 year, and the average income of its
bishops is only E400 year.

burgh, who were appointed to look out for sue
cessor to the Rev. DR.. Stevenson have agreed to

jects to obey them and protect them and their
wives
The Brahmo Soma, the Theistic Native
Church of India, has issued a remarkable ad-
dress to its adherents, cautioning them to keep
themselves pure in morals and doctrine. The
address calls on the ministers to protect the vital
doctrines of the Church, viz the reality of the
Divine Presence, Providence, inspiration, daily
prayer communion immortality, and keep
clear of doubling materialists skeptics, and
scoffers.
A grand Protestant demonstration against Ro-
man Catholicism has been held in Glasgow

severity what he called tendency to return,

favor of the Grecian style of architecture, and
thinks it better to allow the Catholics a monop-
oily Of the Gothic.
The Episcopal Bishop of Limerick finds it ne.
cessary to caution both the laity and clergy in
regard to the dependence of the latter The
clergy and the laity, he said, had become sepa-
rated into two distinctly marked classes, those
who give and those who receive and this fact
was calculated to generate class spirit which
might develop into party feeling. The clergy,
on the other hand, should avoid groundless fears

Raw Dr. William s. Plumer.

We take the following extract from letter
received from Baltimore:
Il regard the venerable DR.. Plumer as one
of the most remarkable men of our day
In the midst of advanced years, he retains, in a
surprising degree, the freshness and vigor of his
earlier life For two successive summers his
ministry in the First Church was the solace and
delight of the good people of Baltimore, While
the stated shepherds and their Aocks were scat
tered abroad, seeking shelter from the intense
heat this devoted servant of God was preaching
with power that attracted and swayed full
houses, made up of every grade Of culture and
type of belief 1t was the old, Old Story told
over-with all the earnestness and pathos which
made this great preacher well nigh peerless
among his brethren thirty years ago.
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1879-11-12

The Presbyterians are not the only ones that
are dissatisfied with their coming ministers. An
Episcopalian writer says: 1t is at least a wide
ly-expressed opinion among the older clergy and
laity that the standard of education of the cler
gy has been steadily lowered for many years
This opinion will probably not be contrOyerted
by men who remember our parochial clergy OF
forty years ago and who compare them with the
clergy of the present day. "-PhiladeIphia Pres
byterian.
There is some difference of opinion about this
matter At the late meeting of the Synod of
Virginia, Rev Dr. Pryor, who has been called
the patriarch of the Synod, said that the young
men preached so well that he felt quite ready to
go to heaven, and leave the work of preaching
here to them.-EDs Cen. PRES.
