a family; and inasmuch as they have paid
for it they will be more likely to read it
than the tract that is given to them
Besides, the giving of that amount of
money for such an object is itself means
OF grace.
How can this number of subscribers be
obtained? Cannot the pastors of the
Church themselves increase the list of
subscribers to that number? No donbt
they can, if they make the effort in good
earnest. There are over five hundred
pastors and stated supplies in the Church.
If each pastor and stated supply would
on an average secure ten new subscribers
this would give an increase of five thou
sand There is scarcely a pastor but
might obtain that number with but little
effort. Then, there are the unsettled
ministers, the probationers, the elders,
the deacons, the Sabbath School superin-
tendents and teachers, all of whom could
help on the good work The children,
too, are in some places the very best can

The Jewish Question.

The Jewish question has been attrac-
ting general attention in Germany for a
year or more past, and a great deal of
bitterness has entered into the discussion
The Jewish element in the population of
Germany Is very large-much larger
than any other Western country on the
Continent. In 1871 there were in Spain
5000 jews in Italy, 10000; in France.
4o,OOO; IN Great Britain, $4,000; in Ger
many, $4,000. The rate at which thew
have increased during the present cen
fury is very striking. In 1916 there
were In Prussia $4,000 Jews; in 1916
there were 2l5,00O; in 1875 there were
nearly 100000. Notwithstanding g. 600
conversions to Christianity, the propor-
ton OF Jews to the whole body of inhabi-
tants In Prussia rose, between 1916 and
1916, from in SO to l in IS. At Berlin
there was in 1916 l Jew to every 80 in
habitants; in 1916 in every 40; in 1871
IN every % and now there is nrob-
ably, l In every 90 Nor do these fo-
ures give any adequate notion of their
influence The average Of wealth among
them is very high, and the average Of
education still more remarkable. In
1873 the proportion Of Jews in the Prus-
sian gymnasium was l in 9.5, and in
the Realschluen of the first class in
iO.I6: Quite a disproportionate num-
Der OF Jews are members of the learned
professions, and the press in Germany is
almost wholly in their hands. The Ger
man Jews are very largely immigrants
from the Slavonic East, while the Jews
IN other Western countries are in great
part descendants Of the Spanish and Por-
tugese Israelites.
The latest dispatches inform us that
the bitter feeling against the Jews in
Germany has subsidized, and that reac-
ton has begun in their favor.

From the United Presbyterian.
Can 1t be Done q?

L see that some of the religious papers
OF the country are expecting to add five
or ten thousand, or even a larger number
Of new subscribers to their respective lists
l do not know, whether or not the United
Presbyterian expects to receive five or
ten thousand new subscriptions with
which to begin the year 1881, but I do
think that the proprietors and patrons of
the paper ought to try very hard to have
at least, five thousand more good paving
subscribers at the commencement of the
New Year than they have ever yet had.
For these reasons:
l. You would then, Messrs. Publish
ers, give us better paper. The United
Presbyterian is now the equal Of the very
best denominational papers published
But it could be improved, and ought to
be- and l feel persuaded that if we swell
the subscription list to the figures named
the readers of the paper will receive
more benefit from the increase than the
publishers.
2. 1t would be more useful. An in
crease of five thousand subscribers would
increase the number Of readers to. per-
haps, twenty thousand How much good
might result from this additional number
Of persons reading the paper, who never
read it before? One way by which lay
men as well as ministers do good is by
circulating religious tracts. But if you
get one new subscriber to the United
Presbyterian you are the means of intro

Our Mothers

The tribute of Dr. Hodge to his mother
Is only repetition of what others, and
among them the best and ablest men of
the ages, have expressed.
&c 1t is no marvel that mothers are
sacred in the eyes of their children. The
debt they owe them is beyond all esti-
mate. To our mother, my brother and
myself, under God, owe absolutely every
thing. To us she devoted her life. For
us she prayed, labored and suffered. AS

war itself led to the suspension of com

Coming in Like a Flood.
BY REV. E. P. GOODWIN. D. D.


When the Jesuits were driven out of
Berlin, they boasted that they would
plant themselves in the Western Terri
tories of America. They are there to-
day, and there with a plan of Empire.
They have more colleges, more theology
cal seminaries the land over, than any of
our Protestant denominations, and their
chief increase is in the West. President
Tenney says they have multiplied schools
and churches in California faster than
the Protestants.
superintendent Warren writes me from
that State that "the Roman Catholic
power is fast becoming an overwhelming
evil. Their schools are everywhere, and
number probably 1000 in the State.
Their new College of ST. Ignatius is, we
are told, the largest, finest, best equipped
of its kind in the United States. Thirty
years ago, when Protestants entered the
Golden Gate, there were twenty-one old
missions fast falling into decay. It is
not so now. Three years ago the proper
ty of the Roman Catholic Church in San
Francisco outvahed the sum total of the
Protestant churches, parsonages, asylums,
schools, and Young Mems Christian AS
sOciations, by $4,000 To-day the ex-
cess is probably more than three times as
much. They blow no trumpets, are
sparing with statistics, but are at work
night and day to break down the institu-
tons of the country, beginning with the
public schools. AS surely as we live, so
surely will the conflict come, and it will
be hard one"
DR.. Atkinson writes in words of like
emphasis from Oregon. Such, friends, is
the outlook. 1 do not believe l am a
bigot, but when l pass in review the
facts as to papal influences furnished by
our own country, especially from these
States and Territories of the new West,
when l consider the attitude OF the Ro-
mish Church as to our common schools.

Literature VS.. History.

History is liable to peculiar corrup-
ton when it falls into the hands of pure
ly literary men, a corruption the serious
ness Of which is seldom perceived. The
men and the deeds which suit the pur-
poses of the literary man writing history
are wholly different from those which at
tract the historian proper The best
craftsmanship, the most successful politics
make dull reading, and what charms the
imagination in history is precisely that
which considered as politics, is worst,
Thus Mr.. Hamerton tells us that French
society round his house" cannot be in
duced to take any interest in English
politics, because OF their tameness and
uniformity In other words, because in
England we avoid revolutions and civil
wars, which is precisely what it were de-
sirable that the French should learn to
do, for that very reason they can see
nothing to interest them in our affairs
This paradox is very important when we
are considering the effect of history on
political opinions in country where his
tory is not studied seriously In England
we change our opinions according to the
amusing books on history which happen
to appear. We read modern history only
on the strict condition that it shall be
amusing. AS natural consequence it
falls into, the hands of purely literary
men. But such writers, in looking about
for material, will not be attracted by
those parts of history which afford in
struction, for nothing is duller than poll
teal instruction. they will look about
for exciting events, for wars and revolu-
tions. And therefore in such a country
the heroes of wars and revolutions must
steadily rise in reputation. Some time
ago [ expressed my opinion that MA
caulay History has introduced period
OF decline in that department of historical
literature which deals with recent periods.
1t has driven out, [ maintained, the true
and high conception OF history and re-
placed it by false, vulgar, and popular
conception. Now the corrupt fashion
then introduced which assumed that
genius is shown in history solely by vivid,
picturesque language, and that investiga-
ton, criticism, and historical philosophy,
are mere humdrum in which no genius
can possibly be shown; that, in short, a
historian Is simply brilliant narrator,
and not rather an investigator and a dis
coverer-this corrupt fashion essentially
consisted In the historian proper being
superseded by the literary man writing
history. Since the time when Macaulay,
who might so well have claimed the for
mer title, elected to appear in the latter
part, 1t is surprising to notice to what
length the notion has since been carried
that any lively litterateur may write his
tory, Mr.: Bayard Taylor tells us that
Thackeray showed him the materials he
had collected for history of Queen
Anne, and told him that he felt sure he
shou d succeed. So that we might have
had the happiness of reading history of
England by the author of Vanity Fairl"
And the author of VANITY Fair would
have done us less harm than Lamartine
and Victor Hugo have done to our neigh
bors.-Prof 8eeley, in Macnailza1as Maq-
anne.

GREENSBORO, N. O., Dec. 7th 1880.
Mr.. Edltor;-The Synod of Atlantic"
met in the Second-5. e. the coLored-
Presbyterian church of Greensboro, on
the first Wednesday of December, 1880,
at 7:3O o'clock P M, and adjourned
Saturday night following, to meet next
year In Columbia, S. @. Last year it
met in Charlotte, N. c. I attended
number of the sessions of this BODY. and
L feel impelled by a sense of duty, as
well as by the satisfaction 1 experienced
at what [ saw and heard, to give publicity
to my Impressions Some of the read
ers Of the North Caroz5na Presbweriaqa
are no doubt ready to ask, What is the
Synod of Atlantic" &c? I reply, it is
Synod connected with the Northern
General Assembly, and has oversight of
the churches and educational enterprises
connected with the Northern Presbyte-
rian Church, which are established in
North and South Carolina, Florida, and
Georgia The churches consist entirely
Of colored members with the exception
Of perhaps one or two, if l am not mis-
taken, in Florida) The Presbyteries
that constitute the Synod are Catawba,
Yadkin, Atlantic, Fairfield and Knox.
Their minutes Of last year report SO
ministers; 1877 churches; added on exam
nation 908; added on certificate 214;
whole number Of communicates $3.50 !;
number Of Sabbath School scholars 1926.
1t was this Synod that met last week in
the colored Presbyterian church Of
greensboro. Eight or ten of the min
lsters are white, all the rest are colored
AT the recent meeting there were, count
ing their ruling elders, about 10 mem
oers. Their moderator was white

The Annual Collection for Sus-
tentation.
OFFICE OF HOME MISSIONS,

Baltimore, December Oath, 1880.
The object of this collection, appointed
for the month of January, is to provide a
fund, which, as far as practicable, will
suffice:
/. To assist some six hundred feeble
churches in the support of their ministers.
9. To aid about one hundred poor con-
pregations in their efforts to obtain houses
of worship.
8. To help in evangelistic work among
our large and necessitous colored popula-
ton.
This is a great effort and will require
united action and unusual hberality to
give it success.
The diligent prosecution of all these
departments OF labor is necessary to the
vindication of our position as an active
and useful branch of the Christian Church.
That we ought to support the weak, -
to help poor Christians to establish the
ordinances of religion, and to give the
gospel to the ignorant and destitute, are
hardly more than truisms to those who
live by the light of Gods word. That
these efforts are necessary alike to our
edincation as Christians; to the honor,
stability, and growth of the Church; to
the promotion of truth and righteousness
in the land to the salvation of our fell
lowmen, and to the spread of the gospel
throughout the world, is the teaching
both of experience and revelation We
must, If we be true to ourselves, to the
Church we love, and to the Saviour we
serve, address ourselves to this work with
far more earnestness. 1t is painfully
true that In times past we have come
short of our privileges in this matter.
1t is gloriously true that an opportunity
of redeeming former failures is now given
us. Never were more hopeful openings
presented for the wise expenditure of
money in the upbuilding and strengthen
ing OF the Church of Christ than Just now.
Our gracious God seems to be calling us
to enter upon great enlargement in his
service. In all our borders, the watch
word is, forward Many of our feeble
churches are showing signs of new life.
Some, which have long been vacant, are
sending out cries for help. Others lately
organized give promise of soon becoming
strong and vigorous. Scores of our min
listers, who during these years of trial
have been forced to engage in secular
employments, are painting to enter wholly
upon the work of preaching the gospel,
and our destitute fields and languishing
churches are calling for their services.
Everywhere there are signs of awakening
and progress, and this we understand to
be Gods voice to us to come up to the
help of the weak with unwonted liberal
lty, so that our waste places may be sup
piled, our feeble churches be made to
grow and prosper, our ministers all be
engaged in preaching the gospel and our
whole land be speedily blessed with the
light and knowledge of divine truth.
Fidelity to our obligations at such a
time as this, cannot fail to secure to us
the divine benediction and large share
In the glorious work of comforting the
saints, edifying the Church, and making
known the salvation of Christ.
