OF this important step. :he Chinese
Minister informed Secretary Essrts
that Q steamer owned By Chinese mer.

mits that with her cheap labor, enor-

Our readers can judge for themselves how OBJ
jectionable are Prof. Robertson Smiths posi.
tons taken in the article in the Encyclopedia
Britannica" about which so much noise is now
making in the Scotch Presbyteries The IN
terror. which published the article last week,
says that careful reading somewhat relieves
the first impression, and it regards Prof Smith s
Language about Solomon's Songs as the hardest
to reconcile with the Standards 1t is evident
that me Interior is not afraid to let American
Presbyterians see both sides of the question:

We too are quite willing that Ameri-
can Presbyterians shall see both sides, but
we are somewhat particular as to which
side of the question they take.

but the author proclaims positively that
the presbytery and the clergy are above
the people. English Conferences, p. 90. }
This is undoubtedly true account of
the rise of the episcopate. There is no
trace ofany distinction between the bishop
and the elder in the New Testament. The
words are used Interchangeable In the
second century the pastor gradually as
sumed a pre-eminence over the other
elders, and was called by way of dis
tinction episcopos or bishop, whose official
position grew rapidly in importance.

did you get that from, neighbour There are
some 100000 white Baptsts in the South-Re-

We got it from an editorial article in

says, 100000 (Baptists) are accredited
to the Southern States and Territories. y
We estimate it (the colored membership
as rather over than under three-ffths-

MISSLOMS AND VIZ

Prof. Christlieb estimates the income OF
all the Protestant Missionary Societies at
20, 762, 900, of which one-half comes from
Great Britain. This is princely income
and some are ready to cry out against
the expenditure. There are $500 or
dained missionaries from Christian lands,
and $4,000 native preachers and helpers.
Here is large army. Some of them are
killed by those to whom they carry the
gospel, and many die from hardships.
The world says, why will they. 90 on
such anserrand?
The ". Y. Herald says that the Afghan
war has already cost the English govern
ment $9O,000,000 How many of Eng
lands best men have been killed, we can
not say. This is only little war. Yet
1t has cost enough to support ali the Pro
testant missions for nearly eighteen years.
More officers have been killed than the
whole number of murdered missionaries
since the beginning of the century.
Now look at the results. On the one
hand, the English would be glad to be
rid of the Afghans after the expenditure
of so much treasure and the sacrifice of
so many brave men, What has been
gained? On the other hand, the mis-
sionaries show 1,65O0OO converts from
