and from proper determination. The
result of evangelical faith is certain and
everlasting salvation. But a man who is
certain in his own mind that his sins are
forgiven, and that he has exercised faith
in Christ, may be deceived, and be lost
forever.
THE Holy SPIRIT teaches every anxious
sinner who is under His influences, and
who is yet unregenerated, that Jesus is
willing to save, and does actually save all
who are willing to be saved from sin, and
that the difficulty still in the way of his
salvation, and which only a God of SOW
ereign and almighty power and grace can
remove, is that he is u'eaOilling to be saved
from SIN.
The advice proper to be given to an
anxious sinner is something like the fol-
lowing:
You are not in a saved state, because
you are not willing to be saved from your
sins. You need to be born again. lex
cept man be born again, he cannot see
the kingdom of Cod that is he cannot
believe on the Lord Jesus Christ God
gives the Holy Spirit to them that ask
Him. When God has created you anew
in Christ Jesus, He has made you willing
to be saved from sin, and then your long
ing to be holy, that is, your longing to
be saved from sin, will be an evidence
that you are child of God. PIP.

The High Church Party in England
appear to be very uncomfortable since
DR.. Ryle was made Bishop of Liverpool
DR.. Ryle's theories on the subject of
bishops are far too apostolic for their
tastes With them, Low Church is no
church. A correspondence has just been
published in Liverpool paper on the
subject which brings this idea out clearly
Some one wrote to DR.. Lee, vicar of All
Saints, Lambeth, one of the most promi-
nent of English High Churchmen, ask
ing him in effect if DR.. Ryle could really
give valid ordination. Dr. Lee gives no
uncertain sound on the subject "For
myself, l may add with the utmost sin
cerity that 1 would as soon believe that
the laying on Of hands of the town clerk
or the town-crier would confer upon me
the priesthood Of the Christian Church
as that anything DR.. Ryle might attempt
would convey to me that grace" Who
shall decide when the successors of the
Apostles disagree?

South Alabama Presbytery.

oouCh Aldpaina FreSDyCery.
A special meeting of South Alabama
Presbytery was held at Columbiana on
the 18th and 18th of October.
Mr.. j. P. Word was licensed as a pro-
batloner for the gospel ministry. We
also received Mr.. John G. Duncan, a Ii
centiate in the Congregational Church.
These brethren acquitted themselves very
creditably, and give promise of useful
ness.
At the regular spring meeting, Pres,
bytery licensed three young men, which
makes five we have sent forth this year
The first three preached with acceptance
in our vacant churches during the sum-
mer months, and returned to the semin-
airy to complete their course of study. It
would seen that our vacancies might soon
be supplied at this rate But we are not
likely to license five in one year soon
again. There are two difficulties in our
way, first, we have a great many vacant
churches and destitute places, and sec
ondly, fields in other Presbyteries are
calling, perhaps, more loudly than any of
ours, Come over and help us!"
We have on our roll forty-aaiue church
es. Many of them are vacant, and others
have very partial supply. Some five
or six of our ministers have from three
to five churches or places of preaching.
Each of these fields ought to have two
pastors 1t is impossible for churches to
be built up with preaching once a month
a sermon once a month is better than no
preaching. The plea with these feeble
churches is, eve are too poor" to take
no ha d.
give as much to the gospel as they do for
the luxury of tobacco, not to say any
thing about strong drinks, they could
easily sustain a minister in every two
churches and soon build houses of wor-
ship. Some of these fields have been
drawing aid, more or less, from the mis-
sionary fund for ten, possibly, twenty
years, and the probabilities are, they will
continue in this same way for the next
half century, if the Presbytery will only
help them.
1t is to be feared some Presbyteries do
not exercise that pastoral care over va
can't churches which they should. 1t is
the privilege of any Presbyterian churcl
to call Rev. -, D. D., LII. D., to preach
for them, provided, he and they can make
satisfactory arrangement about his sup
port.
But when these poor churches ask the
Presbytery or It's committee to recon-
mend an appropriation of orae-third to
oneJomrth of the salary, the Presbytery
should exercise pastoral oversight IN
grouping and stimulating all such church
es to become self-sustaining as quick as
possible.
The two most prominent courts in our
Church are the Session and Presbytery
Where these are not there is no use for
the higher courts The Sessions and the
Presbyteries are the courts where this
work of progression and aggression should
begin. We are satisfied that if our Pres
byteries, by their Committee of Domestic
Missions, or a special commission raised
for the purpose, would take hold Of such
fields in the right way, much, very much.
might be done by stimulating them to
enlarged hberaIty, and this would re-
suit in their having more preaching.

more elevated members A city that
is set on a hill cannot be hid unless il
lets Its lights go out; then it would be
lost IN the darkness of the world. The
light of any Church consists in the Christ
iy lives of its members. Let all our lights
be bright and burning, and lighted up in
high and holy Christly characters, and
then the Church will be elevated in its
membership, and give light and life to a
dark and dead world.

Lowest Thou Me 2"

Lowest Thou Me 2"
Thou knawest do love thee, Lord
Thus Peter thrice replied
To tender words of Jesus Christ,
Whom thrice he had denied
Lowest thou me?" the Master pleads
With pity in his eye:
Thou knowest do love thee, Lord"
Oh, could my soul reply
Lowest thou me-" Oh, sweetest words
Oh, question fraught with grace
! could not say, l love thee not"
And gaze upon thy face.
Lowest thou me?"-Christ speaketh thus
I look, and To- see
Nail-prints upon his hands and feet
Marks of his love for me-
Lowest thou me ito me addressed?
How can such sweetness fall
From lips to which when parched and dry,
l held the sponge of gall?
Do l love thee? Oh, blessed God,
Who offereth such plea
Thy pierced hand and wounded side
To intercede for me?
Lowest thou me?" Who would not love
A friend so kind and true?
Not sooner could the rose refuse
To love the mornings dew.
Lowest thou me dear Lord, I do,
In my poor mortal way
Although thy friendship deny
Each moment of the day.

The rumors concerning negotiation
between the Ritualists of Great Britain and the
Vatican for reunion are revived. An Anglican
Colonial Bishop sent to the Pope lately Latin
brochure privately printed. A correspondent OIL
an English journal, writing from Rome sayi
that he has read the pamphlet carefully, ana
finds in it an argument for the validity Of tho
English Episcopate and the sacraments Of the
English Church. AT the end the Bishop ar,
peals to the Pope to coDvoke the GcumeniCca
Council which was adjoined in 1870 in the
midst Of the throes of war, and invite the Eng
lish Episcopate to join it.

Beautiful weather is with us again and
visited the beach to witness the bath
ing to day. About 1000 were on the
surf fronting Congress Hall grounds
and the Stockton and quite as many
more we're looking on have often
seen 5000 to 6000 enjoying the bre akers
in former years but rains this summer
have driven the people away and it Is
poor season. It will be ten to twenty
years building up the lost hotels and
gaining its former patronage. Our new
iron pier would keep us, hut the bring
ing here of the tools and material from
Long Branch and surveying the site is
all that has been done yet. A very
large number were on the promenade,
streets and at the hotels Saturday
night and 1t is considered the "height
of the season" both in date and number
Of visitors.
A hop is going on at Congress Hall
very well attended, and brilliant with
beauty, dresses and diamonds, and
looked in on the dancing hour.
While the ball was in progress Profess
sor Long, Photographer, illuminated
the lawn and surroundings with
calcium light throwing 1t upon the flag
floating in the breeze from the flag
staff on the lawn with beautiful ef-
feot lighting 1t up as clear Is II in sun

Special Correspondence Of the Republican.
DENTON, Md, Aug. 10.-There Is ..
you know q great deal Of news ahoat
here, not unusual to this part Of the
country-I mean the Jump and Melvin
scandal, which so far has undergone nc
other metamorphosis, and which seema
to be eAveloped in a gloomy mystery. A
cotemporsry paper says: "The cause Of
this scandal can hardly DO ascertained;
It could not be the peach crop, because
it Is as old as the Eastern Shore itself;
It could not have been started by fever
and chills, for also they are eo.eval
with Its history; then this peculiar case
of falling in love with sweet sixteen
must have its cause in the mingling and
uniting OF Pennsylvanis's valleys and
jerseys meadows with the beauteous
attractions of Eastern Shores pure and
healthy atmosphere"
Mr.. Jump Is still in q very critical
condition, and his attending physicians
have as yet very little hopes of his
recovery. His friends and family still
hesitate to believe the story, and very
little credit is given to 1t by some, while
the well informed public seem TO have
reasons to believe just as much in Mr..
Jumps innocence as his guilt. For
Miss Melvin firmly and persistently
denies that her intimacy with Mr.. Jump
was of any suspicious or criminal
nature, and she ought surely to Be the
judge.
Tho Oakland camp, taken in all, was
dusty, dull and uninteresting. There
was hardly any interest manifested IN
the meetings. Denton Journal-two
Young ladies from Wilmington we're In
attendance.
There have been comparatively
speaking q great many more peaches,
and of a superior quality this season,
than had been expected. Last week
was q complete rush, but now it seems
somewh hat abated, ho Hever, there will
be more peaches again by the end OF
this month.
As we had to complain about dry
ness In the early part of the summer,
we have now to rejoice over the heavy
and freq uent showers which have NOT
only revived the whole Of vegetation but
saved the corn crop and made it COM
plete success. A.
have been rusticating now on the
Eastern Shore almost exclusively since
the 5th Of June, and this month will
finish my vacation. propose to take
A few more pleasure trips through b and
along the Eastern Shore, and then l
will manage to be in Wilmington by|
the first Monday in September, to re-
sumo again the teaching Of the ancient
and modern languages OF the Atnen"um
which will be announced in time.
