lie began by giving them some general
information, adding an account of the suf-
terlngs of Christ, He read them the
story OF Gethsemane, and spoke words of
the agony which made him sweat great
drops of blood. One of the men came
forward to the table and said. How was
that? Tell me that once more, for want
to be saved too Never had such Ian
guage been heard from Greenlander be-
fore. A full statement of the gospel was
given; this man was converted and be-
came eminently useful. A change took
place in the character of the preaching,
and multltudes were converted. The good
fruit is to be seen to the present day.

The Sculptures of St. Marks.

The Venetians of the Middle Ages,
when decorating their church, had no re-
ligious scruple in admitting NEUROLOGICAL
subjects; for although Christianity became
paramount in the Byzantine Empire, and
the statues of the gods were given up to
destruction, partly at the behest of the
Emperors and the Church, partly through
the fanaticism of the populace, it was i'm
possible altogether to destroy the prevail
ing pagan traditions. In the East as in
the West, though the belief in the gods
was extirpated, the heroic legends were
preserved by general consent; for the
deeds of a Hercules could very well live
on in the mouths of the people without
causing any detriment to the belief in
the Gospels On the other hand, the
worship of Aphrodite, Hera, or Athene
could not subsist side by side with that
of the Virgin, although the Parthenon at
Athens was, at an early date, consecrated
as temple to the Virgin But along
with the dispeopling of Olympus there
lived on deep in the hearts of the people, a
feeling OF the gloryofth statues ofthe gods.
Thus it is not surprising that at this time,
even In depicting scenes from the Biblical
narrative, female figures of an antique
type should appear as representations of
cities Indeed, they may have occurred
more frequently in this connection than
in the historical delineations of ancient
art itself. Suppose, for example, that a
Byzantine artist desired to depict either
in mosaic or wall-painting, simple scene
like the Flight into Egypt; he would not
merely represent the Virgin riding upon
an ass, with the babe in her arms, and
Joseph walking by her side, in accordance
with the treatment adopted in the West,
but opposite the Virgin he would place
an antique figure with crown and regal
symbols, bending forward in devotion
from the gate of city. This figure is
apparently the personifcation of the
Kingdom of Egypt, and there was no
thought of its being meant to represent
heather divinity; for other Byzantine
presentations of the entry of the HOLY
Family into the cities of Egypt exist, in
which the statues of the gods, ranged
along the streets, are shown falling to the
ground on the approach of the Infant
Christ.-Macmilla1's Magazine.

And shall give account for their own

EVIDENCES OF CHRISTIANITY FOR PLAIN PEo-
PIE. BY Rev Pike Powers, of ST. Andrews
church. Richmond, Va. Baughman bros
1880.
This excellent little tract consists OF seven
lectures delivered in his church by the author
1t is designed primarily for persons who make
no pretensions to learning. many of the congre-
CATION before whom they were delivered oeing
working men, with little opportunity Tor read
ing or study" Mr.. Powers is himself gentle
man of fine training and culture, and he has
succeeded in condensing in small compass In vlg-
orous but plain, language, an admirable pre-
sentation of the Christian argument. The style
is simplicity itself, but at the same time vivid,
elegant, and forcible. The topics handled are
well selected, and judciously handled. We
should be glad to see the tract widely circulated
We are sure it would prove extremely servicea-
ble 1t is pervaded throughout by deep,
evangelical spirit.

"what is the Athanasian Creed?''

The question is often asked by lay
men and perhaps we cannot render our
readers better service than by printing
1T IN It's entirety for the information Of
all concerned. Singularly enough we
find our copy of the Greed given place
in the last edition of the Hymns of the
Church, the hymnal of the Reformed
Church. Here it is:
l. Whosoever will be saved, before all
things it is necessary that he hold Catho-
lie faith. 2. Which faith, except one do
keep whole and indebted, without doubt
he shall perish everlastingly. 8. The
Catholic faith is this, that we wor-
ship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in
Unity. 4. Neither confounding the Per-
sons nor dividing the Substance. 5. For
there is one person of the Father, another
of the Son, and another of the Holy
Ghost. 6. But the Godhead of the
Father, of the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost is all one; the Glory equal, and
the Majesty co-eternal. 7. Such as the
Father is, such is the Son, and such is
the Holy Ghost. The Father uncrea-
ted, the Sonuncreated, and the Holy Ghost
uncreated. 9. The Father Incompetent
hensible, and the Son incomprehensible.
and the Holy Ghost incomp rehensible.
10 The Father eternal, the Son eternal.
and the Holy Ghost eternal: IL. And
yet they are not three Eternals; but
one Eternal II. AS also there are not
three Incomprehensibles, nor three I'm
created, but one Uncreated. and one In
comprehensive. 13. So likewise the
Father is Almighty, the Son Almighty,
and the Holy Ghost Almighty: IA.
And yet they are not three Almighties,
but one Almighty. Is. So the Father is
God, the Son is God, and the Holy Ghost
is God. Is. And yet there are not three
Gods, but one God. II. So likewise the
Father is Lord, the Son Lord, and the
Holy Ghost Lord Is. And vet there
are not three Lords, but one Lord. 10.
For, as we are compelled by the Chris
tian Truth to acknowledge each person by
himself to be God and Lord. 90. So we
are forbidden by the Catholic faith, to
say, there be three Gods, or three Lords.
Il. The Father is made of none, neither
created nor begotten. %. The Son is OF
the Father alone, not made, nor created
but begotten. % The Holy Ghost is Of
the Father, and of the Son, neither made,
nor created, nor begotten, but proceed
ing. "a. So there is one Father, not
three Fathers; one Son, not three Sons
one Holy Ghost, not three Holy Ghosts
%. And in this Trinity, there is not first
nor last, nor greater nor less: 26. But
the whole three persons are co-eternal
together, and co-equal. .27. So that in
all things, as it is aforesaid. the Unity in
Trinity, and Trinity in Unity is to be
worshipped. %. He therefore that will
be saved, must, thus think of the Trinity.
%. Furthermore, it is necessary to ever
lasting salvation, that he also believe
rightly the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus
Christ.' 30. For the right Faith is, that
we believe and confess, that our Lord
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is God and
man 81. God Of the Substance Of the
Father, begotten before the world and
Man Of the Substance Of his Mother
born in time 80. Perfect God and per
feet man, having reasonable Soul and

FREDERICKSBURG PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE.
By Robert R. Howison, author of history
of Virginia. Rufus B. Marchant Fredericks-
burg,sVa. 1880.
This is a lecture of 80 pages delivered before
the Fredericksburg Library and Lyceum Asso-
citation. 1t is q contribution towards the histo-
ny of this venerable Virginia town-the home
of so much that was distinctive and most beau
tiful in Virginia life in the olden time Among
all the cities of Virginia none have been more
distinguished for the open handed hospitality of
its people and especially for its beautiful women,
than Fredericksburg, The style of Mr.. Howison
is pure and chaste and simple, and without any
pretension, he has given us a charming picture of
this typical Virginia city. Beginning with
Captain John Smith, and following the history
of the city through colonial times and the Revo-
luton, he comes down to the war, to which he
devotes considerable space, and then brings his
sketch down to the present time. There are al
lusions to and anecdotes of many of the noted
characters of the place This is the way to re-
cover and preserve the history of our State
And Fredericksburg has been fortunate in secur
ing for her chronicler the genial and accom-
Plished author of this pamphlet.
