PROFITS OF FARMING.

----~-~'~'
 One item of proof of the possible profit of farming is afforded by the fact that comparatively few who follow it reach bankruptcy, notwithstanding wastes that would bring ruin to any other business conducted with equal lack of attention to what are mistakenly re- garded as little leaks." This point was illustrated by the Rev. M. R. Leon- ard at meeting of the Waltham Club, as reported in the Massachusetts Plough- man: "I see how the fertilizers of their barnyards are wasted, and yet the farmers complain that their lot is hard one. No doubt it is but it is owing to their own management. The barnyards of such farmers are so arranged that the manure made by their large stock of cat tie is nearly wasted. The liquid part is left to run entirely to waste. The more solid part is thrown out through 8 hole in the barn, to be under the droppings from the roof, where it is washed with every rain and thaw till it is leached al- most to worthlessness. Often it is left where it is thrown in the winter through the whole summer, then carried off the | next fall "

NEWS FROM THE CHURCHES
Presbytery of MARYLAND

Met, pursuant to adjournment, in Franklin
Street church, Baltimore, October Sth, at %
o'clock P. NJ, and was opened with prayer by
the Moderator, Rev. DR.. Murkland
Present, eleven ministers and five ruling elders

of Rev. DR.. Bullock, viz, to resign the pastoral
charge of Union church, Alexandria Va
Messrs B. H. Lambert and F. E. Corbett ap-
peared before the Presbytery as commissioners
from the church, and stated that meeting of
the church had been held September 18th, at
which the following resolution had been passed
unanimously:
ResolUed, That since the organization of the
Union Presbyterian church in May 1874, to the
present time, period Of upwards of six wears
peace and harmony have reigned supreme among
the members thereof. That our well-beloved
pastor, the Rev. DIR. Bullock has discharged his
responsible duties as an ambassador of Christ
with fidelity, fervency, and zeal. That he has
not Stunned to declare "all the counsel of God"
and whilst boldly proclaiming the terrors of the
law and exhorting the wicked to forsake his way
and the unrighteous man his thoughts, he has
ever pointed poor sinners to the Lamb of God
which taketh away the sins of the world. That
he possesses our grateful love, respect and ven
Grafton, as a minister, pastor, and a Christian
congregation here assembled, we solemnly refuse
to unite with him in his request to the Presby-
terry of Maryland to dissolve his connection with
the Union Presbyterian church,
The reasons presented by DIR. Bullock for his
request were then deliberately considered, and
it was
Resolved, That his request be granted, and
that the pastoral relation which has existed be-
tween him and the Union church be dissolved.
The Rev. Mr.. Nicols was appointed to preach

For the Central Presbyterian.
Minutes ofthe Assembly of 1880.
EpUCATToN CoLLECrIoN.


The collection for the education of candidates
for the ministry is appointed for November. In
view of this important collection it is we'll to
consider what has, and what has not been done
by the churches in the past year, andto inquire
whether more cannot be done during the pre-
sent year and how2 From the Minutes of the
last Assembly it can be seen how many churches
in each Presbytery have done anything for this
cause and how much and how many have done
nothing together with the membership of each
class.
Of our l ,925 churches, 1850 contributed last
wear S26,O12 to Education-or an average of
S24 to each church and S45 gave nothing. If
the latter had given an average of but So per
church, $2,535 more would have been raised.
If an opportunity had been given to each of
these S45 churches this small average would al
most certainly have been secured That it was
not secured is due to the failure of the pastors
and Sessions to do their duty, and this failure
has not been reproved by the Presbyteries. X X
In only two Presbyteries did every church con-
tribute to this cause, viz, Potosi and MARYLAND.
In seven the contributing churches averaged
more than one dollar per member, viz, Mullen
burg, Lafayette, Palmyra, Potosi, Charleston.
East Texas, and Maryland. In the Presbytery
of Arkansas they nearly reached that average.
In South Alabama and East Hanover they
reached the average of fifty cents per member.
In eight Presbyteries two-thirds or more of the
churches failed to make any contribution, viz,
Athens, Western District, Louisiana, Tombeck-
bee, Lafayette, st. Louis, Eastern Texas, and
Paris.
In t,0enty-t0o Pres6yteries one-half or more of
the churches failed, viz, East Alabama, Indian,
Augusta, Florida, Macon, Ebenezer, Louisville,
Muhlenburg Paducah, Pennsylvania, Chicka-
saw, North Alabama North Mississippi, Misss-
sippi, Red River, Missouri, Palmyra, Holston.
Knoxville, Brazos, Central Texas, and Western
Texas.
1t is evident also from this table that some
Presbyteries do not require their churches to
furnish proper reports. Some are very deficient
in this matter and are so year after year. And
some Stated Clerks do not fill out the blank in
the column of total membership from the last
Minutes, as the rule of the Assembly requires.
For instance m Pennsylvania Presbytery there
are no reports of membership from IL out of her
20 churches; in Western District from g out of
her % churches; in Brazos, from II out of her
27; and from Paris, from II out of her IA. This
ought to be corrected by the Presbyteries, and
full and accurate reports be required from each
church This can be Accomplishment if, as in Lex
ington and perhaps other Presbyteries, the blank
forms are furnished by the Presbytery and sent
to the churches before the spring meetings with
distinct directions how to fill them and to return
them to the Stated Clerks. E. ].

Church has under its control two colleges. one
at Monmouth, Ill., and the other at New Will

There are also two theological seminaries. The
seminary at Xenia claims to be the oldest Pro-
testant theological school on the Western Con-

Pa. 1t was removed to Canonsburg, Pa. about
1920, and to Henia an 1866. The United Pres

DR.. Ganse, of st. Louis, used a beautiful
figure to illustrate the distinction between the
Sabbath itself and the ritualstic ceremonies as.
soclated with it in the Jewish economy The
Sabbath was the stream, the ceremonies were
the banks that held it in: For fifty generations
the stream skirted the broad morasses of the
Pagan world, and then it needed the strong and
high banks of the Jewish ceremonial enact
ments. But since Christ died the stream has
run through the uplands of Christianity, wind
ing here and there at its own sweet will among
the hills and over the plains and making its
own banks. What we see, and what we think
of, and what we value, and what we thank God
for, are not the banks, beautiful and even
necessary as they may be, but the living, flow
ing, Overlooking life-giving stream.-Presbyte-
