For the Central Presbyterian.
Theological Halls.

MeSSTS. EdltOrS,-The subject upon
which I now write you has long been be-
fore my mind. The purpose Of writing
is to set before our students of theology
those facts which possess on this sub
ject, which may serve to guide them in
the choice of schools where they shall OBJ
tain the best theological training The
suggestions given are those, and only
those, gained by actual experience in the
schools referred to.
There is considerable difficulty felt in
attempting to write on this subject be-
cause it involves an estimate and com
parison of theological teachers, and every
one knows how difficult it is to speak
with propriety concerning living men, es-
pecially if they be compared or contrast
ed with each other 1t is hoped, how
ever, that information can be given to
our young men without overstepping the
bounds of propriety.
1t is a very natural thing for our
young men who are about to enter upon
a course Of study to look away from the
schools that are near, and to turn their
thoughts to those at distance, which
are older or larger. "Far-of fields look
green Hence we find our students not
infrequently leaving their own Church
schools and seeking those which are to
be found in the North or in Europe. 1t
is a serious question with every student
Where shall l find the best advantages
of education? Particularly is this so
with the theological student Let us
then take up the subject and examine it
with some care. First of all we shall ask
the question-How do the instructors in
theology compare in the South, in the
North, in Scotland, and in Germany &?
The first remark to be made in answer to
this question is that God in his provi-
dence distributes talent all over the earth,
all through the Church on earth No
nation and no Church has a monopoly.
In the matter of education too, there is
great similarity, although the advantages
of the various Churches differ in kind
and in degree. These differences, how
ever, are always equalized by the efforts
of those who are determined to learn.
Another remark that is to be made is this,
Every Church lays hold upon those men
whom she believes best fitted to impart
theological instruction, and places them
in her theological halls to do that work
Since then there is such distribution OF
talent and education throughout the
world, the inference is fair that any man
who is well fitted to teach theology in
one land would be we'll fitted for the
same work in another or, in other words
we Judge that theological teachers com
pare well in all the Churches. AS a gen
eral rule this will be found to be true
but there is one great fact ever to be kept
in view. It's this: God always provides
great men to carry out any great work
which he wishes to have done. A nota-
bic example Of this was seen in the Free
Church movement in Scotland in 1913

The Presbyterian Alliance.

The n-Presbyterian council, which Assem-.
bled Ia Philadelphia yesterday, Is composed Of
representatives OF all the various branches Of
the Presbyterian sect throughout the world
This Is one OF the most distinguished religious
bodies that has assembled either In this or any
other land. The council comprises the names
of the most eminent divlnes OF the PRESBYTERIAN
aith, men who have distinguished themselves
as students and teachers OF the Christian re-
lgion. The mala purpose OF the council is to
bring the different branches OF the Presbyterian
fah closer together 10 conc entrate the influence
ofthat powerful and pOpul0uS body. Discussions
as TO creed have divided the original church
Into number of organizations or Sects, all
agreeing So to the fundamental dogmaS but
diSagreelng upon minor points These differ
ences of opinion have been contested with Bit
terneSs in the past, which resulted In secession
and the establishment OF new Sects With the
same general faith. In this country We have
had the Old and the New School Presbyterian,
the Cumberland Presbyterian, and In other
parts CT the world the branches had different
names 10 distinguish them, but all wae Pres
byterians. A few years ago. since the close OF
the war of the rebellion, the movement for a
union OF the Presbyterian churches was fnaugu-
rated In this country. The proposition for union
met ready response, and In 1910 the first
general assembly OF the reunited Presbyterian
church OF the United States was held In Phila-
Gelphia. Tie work OF reuniting the churches
In this country was found so easy of accom-
pliahment. and withal so pleasant a labor, that
IL was proposed to extend 1t so as to bring this
Christian brotherhood of all the world into
closer fellowship. In 1877 the first general
conference was held in Edinburgh. and after a
ten days session II was resolved that the next
council should be held In Philadelphia at this
time. The proceedings of the council will be
watched with interest, not only by Presbyte-
rians, but by all Christian peoples, because OF
the distinguished ability OF the ministers who
compose the body and the Importance Of their
laDOrs.

The greenback party In Indiana seems to be
entirely In the control and at the disposal of
congressman De La Matyr and he Is inclined to
use 1t so as TO secure his reelection. Negotia-
tons were first opened with the democratic
managers With the view Of giving De La Matyr
the support of that party IN the Indianapolis
district In return for which he would turn over
the greenback votes In the state to Landers
The democrats it appears from the most trust
worthy reports, held the matter under ad-
visement for some days bat did not accept
1t, though neither did they definitely reject 1t
The republican managers were next offered the
gleeLback vote OF the state IL they would with
draw their candidate for Congress In favor OF
De La Matyr, but they hesitate to make the
bargain. In the first place, the democrats say.
De La Matyr Is not able to deliver the vote OF
bis party to any purchaser. This IS. perhaps
the reason the democrats declined to enter into
the arrangement. The republicans are afraid
that association with the greenbackers Will
hurt their cause and candidates In the east.
They appear to believe that an acceptance OF
the De La Matyr proposition would assure
them (the republicaDsl the state OF Indiana but
whether II would be worth the probable injury
the bargain would cause to Garfield In New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut Is the uues-
ton. IL begins to look as IL both parties Will
hold aloof from the greenbackers and that Mr..
De La Matyr viii not figure In the next Con-
GTeSS.

The readjusterS in Virginia have scored

making the most OF Gen. Echols' confess,o,

honest In their belief in and support OF these
principles and sincere In their support OF Han

The report now comes that the rice crop this
year Is the largest since the re-opening OF the

year for American products.

What Becomes Of the Gold!
Boston Economist.

This is question that is engaging
home and abroad. 1t was supposed
that the west had got about as much
currency as it wanted after the sale of
last years crops, and that this fall it
would be inclined to receive payment
for its products in goods instead of
money, :. supposition which the facts
have to a very large degree warranted.
For all that, there is still a strong de-
mand in the interior for currency, and
it is a steady as we'll as a strong one
But it is in an uncertain volume that it
goes in that direction. The question
again cOnfronts us. What has become
of the currency that has absolutely
gone out Of sight since the date of re-
sumption? The banks in the interior
are conceded to hold the larger part of
it, since there is 10 other explanation
Of its disappearance except by boarding,
and by its being in circulation in conse
quence Of increased business. Since
the date of resumption, it has been esti-
mated that about $173, 100000 in money
of all kinds has been absorbed, no re-
turn flow from the interior having
shown itself this year, while the out
flow so far has been practically the same
as last year.
Gold has increased in the country
since resumption to the amount of
about $3.50 100000, the banks and the
treasury having taken some SIS, 574 367,
while 92,912,606 has absolutely disap-
peared. OF this large amount, about
S44, 100000 has vanished during the
past year, and about $40 100000 within
the last three months. Some $3S, OOO.-
600 of gold, in other words, has been
produced in the country and imported,
OF which one-half has gone into the
banks and the treasury, and the rest
has wholly disappeared; and during
this time, too, silver has been piling up
in the treasury until it has overrun.
Legal tender has vanished in the same
mysterious way. Yet the national
banks have not expanded their issues
correspondingly, although they were
perfectly free to do so if there had been
a demand to warrant it.
Europe is directly interested to know
when this hunger for gold and legal
tenders is to be satisfied. During four
weeks in October, not less than S17 ,367,-
500 in gold has disappeared from New
York. Fully one-half of it has gone no
one knows whittier. Legal tenders are
beginning to return to the great money
centers, but gold is absorbed and shows
no signs of coming back. And there
are no reasons to believe that this alb
sorption of gold by the people of this
country has yet reached anything like
its NIT. 1t is an entirely new currency
experience with us, and demands en-
tlrely new reasons for its explanations.

The City Of Rio De JaneirO,

A recent traveller, descanting upon
the attractions of the Brazilian capital,
says: 81 am at a loss to explain why it
is that people who have seen most of
the fine cities in the world, including
Edingburgh, should be in a RAPTURE
with Rio, should find it revelation of
a new kind of lovliness; but so it is. !"
At every turn you are met with a
vision of steep green hills, bearing
t1oWer-laden terraces, from which
white villas rise, one above the other,
IN sparkling confusion; or look down a
narrow brilliantly-colored and busy
street, and behold framed like a pic
ture, a blue tropical sea, with white
sails cleaning in the distance and
solemn mountains on either hand.
The city is not cramped for room
but stretches over a large space, and
all the good houses have ample gar
dens. These are duly surrounded by
stone walls, but tropical nature needs
no such barriers. Roses and orange
trees mount up aloft; nearly every tree
bears flowers as well as foliage; creep
ers with blossoms of every hue fling
themselves over the walls, andlofty palm
trees that the sight fthem, strange and
beautiful, standing amid green lawns
and gardens full of scarlet flowers, is
most astonishing. 1t makes no differ
ence though after time where palm
tree stands. 1t is in itself SO beautiful
an object-the tall, smooth, gray-green
stem is SO elegant, the long, glossy
branches SO graceful-that it lends an
indescribable air of dignity to any spot
in which it happens to grow The
Brazillians are very fond of planting
two palm-trees, one on either side of
the tall iron gates which hung between
massive stone piers, gave access to their
gardens.
The principal buildings are the
Custom House, the Mint, the In
sane Hospital, the Mercy's Hospital,
the Imperial Palace, the Lyric Theater,
the Hall of st. Pedro, and the College
of Pedro II. The great equestrian
statue Of Dom Pedro l., the docks and
the acqueduct, deserve the..special no.
tice of tourists.
The Canton advocate. [volume] (Canton, D.T. [S.D.]) 1877-1897, 1880-12-09

The president of the Anthropologica
institute Of London has attempted an
explanation of the long-standing and
pulling question Of the manner IN
which the huge and heavy stones which
stand as monoliths or in groups as
tombs or temples were lifted into their
places. Some of the hill tribes of In
dia still erect big stones as memorials,
and it is reported of one of them that
they recently carried stone weighing
twenty tons up high hill in the course
of few hours. The ponderous block
was inclosed in wooden framework SO
arranged that large number of men
could lift all at once and in this simple
way it was borne to the hilltop, height
of 900 feet.
