IA THE NEW YEAR. ~d5a
A Premium of One Dollar.

We are anxious to extend the circulation of
this paper, and with this object, we now offer
ONE DOLLAR in money for every new sub
scriber whose name shall be sent between this
and the LIST day of February. We hereby re-
quest every man, woman, and child who reads
the CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN to become an
AGENT, and thus help to place it in every Pres
byterian family. We believe the best way to
obtain new subscribers is to give all an oppor-
tunity to see the paper, and we pay this premi-
um with the expectation of retaining such new
subscribers for many years.
The person procuring the new subscriber may
if he prefers give the benefit of this premium
to the subscriber, or any one may subscribe in
this way without the intervention of the agent
This proposition practically gives the paper
to new subscribers at So per annum tor the
first year. We shall make nothing at this fig
ure and could not afford to publish at any such
price. Our sole object is to add new subscrib
ers to our list, with the hope, as we have said
of retaining them afterwards permanently on the
regular terms.

In the Christian army there are regi-
ments, divisions, corps. They do not all
wear precisely the same uniform, but all
follow the same colors, and keep step to
the same music. In front is the great
Army of the Unbelievers, marshalled in
three grand corps-the World, the Flesh,
and the Devil. And over all this dark
array floats one ensign-the black flag,
with the cross-bones and skull. In the
presence of the enemy, shall the Soldiers
of the Cross quarrel with each other
Shall the man in the gray uniform wran-
gle with the man in the red waistcoat
because they are not dressed alike? Shall
the men on the white horses drive from
the ranks the good soldier mounted on
the black horse? Shall the lancers say
to the bowmen, We have no need of you?
They have one common object; they
follow one common standard; they are
commanded by the same leader; they
aim to cross the same Jordan, and to
reach the same Rest. Shall Reuben say
to Judah, You do not hold your weapon
exactly as do? Or Benjamin to Cad,
We do not exactly agree about the site Of
the Garden of Eden?
The TRUTH is precious; but to gain all
the truth in all its details is longer than
Art, and it will always be that the vast
majority of Christians will be far short
of a perfect theology. The man who is
consecrated to Christ is your brother,
though he may not hold your views on
election, baptism, church order, and it is
so important to march with him against
the battalions of the Devil, that you can
not afford to spend your strength trying
to pommel him into your way of think
ing on even weighty, but not vital,
matters.

TYNDALL alludes to Empedocles as
noticing this gap in the doctrine of De-
mocritus:" Prof Tyndall had better
confine himself to the gap" in the evo-
luton of man, for DIR. McCosh informs
him that every tyroH in philosophy
knows that Empedocles comes before De-
mocritus." One great trouble with our
modern scientists is that they talk about
things which they do not know.
Apropos to this we may state that a
correspondent of the Popular Science
Monthly for December writes as follows
of Herbert Spencer:
ALLOW me to say respectfully that Mr.. spen-
Ger impairs the public confidence in his conclu-
sons by inattention to the reliability of what he
states as facts. =. BY this carelessness concern
ing his statements to put it in the mildest form,

of Baltimore, which sets forth the pro-

proposed to raise a sum of money, to be

to be invested for the benefit of the two

M. DELAUNAY "a distinguished name
among the French scientists) read paper
before the French Academy of Medicine
recently, in which he maintained that
tenor voices abound only among people
who are. in low state of civilization
that the constant tendency of civilization
is to deepen the voice, and that the time
will finally come, when all the nations
are thoroughly civilised, that both men
and women shall have only bass voices.
DIR. Delaunay is of opinion that primeval
man (being a very low savage had very
fine tenor voice. We merely call the at
tention of our choirs to the facts.

The Westminster Review has these

4HE westminster LCeU1elO has these
very gravely suggestive words:
Nothing in these times is serious or sedate,
nothing Is full of the springs of compassion or
moral motive that is not turned to the poor
purpose of trivial ridicule. Our children are
taught TO laugh at everything, and to tremble
at nothing"
This is true also in America-far truer
than in England. The sentiment of rev.
erence is almost extinguished. The
young regard the old people as bores.
Young women call the young men "fel-
lows" Great fundamental truths are
called "dogmas." If some unhappy
wretch blows his brains out, it is tele-
graphed by the associated press with
some fippant heading as lively bit of
news. A great confagration is tele-
graphed as "a 100000 fire." A murder

WE alluded last week to DR.. Tying and
the Romish miracles at Lourdes and
Knock. The NeaO York Observer states
that on the same Sabbath when DR.. Tying
was astounding his Protestant hearers
with the wonderful things that he had
seen, Bishop O'Hara, of Scranton, Pa,
in st. Vincents Cathedral, having just
returned from the Old World, gave an
account of his visit to Knock. He visit
ed the venerable Archbishop McHale at
Tuam (near Knock, whom he found
rather reticent about the miracles. Fin
ally, the Archbishop said "that so far
there had been no evidence presented to
warrant the approval or disapprovaf Of
the reported miracles, but he had ap-
pointed committee to investigate the
matter"
Bishop o'Hara saw 1000 pilgrims at
Knock. We hope DR.. Tying will realise
his folly, and stop that knocking at this
door.

ALEssANDRo GAvAzzI, the Italian
evangelist, we hear, is coming to Rich
mond.
He was in this country in 1949 and
again in 1872.
Gavazzi is the son of an eminent bar
rister, and has nineteen brothers and sis
tiers. He was educated at the University
of Bologna, and became monk and
priest. He ignored rites, ceremonies,
professions, and the petty formalities of
the Roman Church, and preached right
eousness, mercy, and the weightier mat
tiers of the law When Plus TX assembled
the Papal throne, they were great friends,
but they soon broke. Gavazzi was for
hidden to preach. He was exceedingly
active in the revolution of 1849, and
preached to 10000 persons in the Coli
scum the night before the Austrians left
Rome. He preached crusade against
the Austrians throughout Italy. When
the republic was suppressed he fed to
England
While In exile he seems to have real
ised for the first time that what Italy
needed was spiritual regeneration. He
returned to Italy to preach the gospel.
He dis ributed tracts, sold Bibles, held
prayer-meetlngs. The churches which
ne and his co-laborers or. anised were or
ganised as Independent cb riches, but
Gavazzi perceived the necessity in 1865
for some effort towards union. In 1870
he induced the large and Furnishing con
gregatlon at Milan to invite delegates
from other congregations to meet with
them in that city. They came together.
and framed a Declaration of Principles.
embracing the doctrines held in common
by evangelical Christians and thus orig
mated the Free Italian Church. It is to
be understood that this is not the Wal
densian Church. The General Assembly
OF the Free Church elects every year an
evangelisation committee, which super
intends the work of evangelisation
throughout the kingdom. The italian
patriot Mazzarella, who is an eminent
philosophical writer, Judge of the Su-
Preme Court, and member of the Ital-
ian Parliament, is an elder of the Free
church at Genoa. He was Vice-Presi-
dent of the Assembly in 1879, of which
Gavazzi was President.
The Free Church has a theological
seminary in Rome, in which Gavazzi is
the instructor in sacred oratory, and Pro-
lessor Henderson of the Free Church of
Scotland, the professor in theology.
He is man of great fervor and hope
fulness Of character. To an audience in
Chicago in 1872, he said: "I think I
shall have everything want before
die. have seen SO many of my hopes
independence of Italy, the
unity OF Italy, the freedom of Rome. II
have been permitted to go back to the
Eternal City and preach the free gospel
in its streets. So many of my dreams
have been realised that I despair of moth
ing"
We get these facts from an article in
the December number of lScri6ner's Mag
1zine.
Signor Gavazzi will preach in this city
on Sabbath morning next in the Grace
Street Presbyterian church, in the after
noon in the Second Presbyterian church,
and at night in the Second Baptist church. |
