at to-day's session Of the Pan7Pres-

morning session. Prof. Henry Cal

according to the title of the,
paper, dealt with the question of

unsettled opinion. His advice was
to deal tenderIy with young men ).
and prepare them thoroughly with
every possible intellectual equip
tment, and he advised, especially,
that. teachers should be cautious OF
speaking in an authoritative manner
of subjects on which they are not
themselves thoroughly informed !: ~
Hon. Horace Maynard presided at
the afternoon session. Before the
regular business was taken. up, a
resolution was adopted providing for
the appointment of a committee to
consider and report upon,,at the
next council meeting, all applications
for membership in alliance. Hon.
Horace Day then moved that
the committee to be ap-
pointed have the power
to pass upon applications for ad-
missions to the present coun-
ell. He remarked that the applica-
ton of the Cumberland Presbyterian
church for admission to membership
had been rejected, although that
church represents over one hundred
and thirty thousand people who are
strictly presbyterian in their pohty
and presbyterian in their doctrine,
except nine sections relative to predes-
tination. Mr.. Day asked how many
of the churches represented1in the
council believe in those articles, and
added that if the Westminster cate
chism was to be written to morrow,
he believed that majority of the
churches would favor, the omission
fof a great deal now in it. This re-
mark elected a. chorus of such cries as
"order!" "order!" "no!" moi" &c.
After warm discussion, Mr. Day S
motion was adopted.
The order,of the day was a paper
on '.Apologetics," by Rev. Ed. Dupres-
sener, DID,, of Paris, but as that gen
tleman was absent, and the paper he
had sent was written in French, il
was referred to the publication com

Down Among the Dead.
ARE THE DIVERS AFRAID OF THE BODIES
THEY HAVE TO HANDLE?
lFrom the London News

When to the silence and loneliness of
ocean or river depths are added the
blackness of darkness and the dread
presence of death, the diver must needs
have courage who boldly descends. In
the operations not yet concluded at the
Tay bridge. the less experienced divers
were 10y some suspected of succumbing
to the horrors of the situation. If there
were any human bodies there they were
imprisoned in double prison of car
riages and cage-like girders. 1t was
impossible for any diver to clutch
quickly at the body, and ere he had
time to think of his CHASTITY work, to
| procure by signal the instant withdraw
al of himself and solemn burden to the
surface. The work involved is patient
and deliberate handling of the dead in
the dark and silent deep, and few who
suspected the divers of shrinking from
this task, felt brave enough themselves
to blame them seriously fOr it. The
suspicion, after all, has probably but
small foundation; at least two of the
divers strongly declares that no ''eerie
feeling" would prevent them from do
ing their duty, and said that if neces-
sary they would be glad to bring up
the dead even in their arms. Still the
very way in which these men talk of
this subject seems to show that below
the water they cannot face the dead
with the callousness of men who are
brought into contact with bodies on
shore; that, in fact, they have to rea-
son with themselves against natural
timidity. "My duty" said one diver at
the Tay, sis to the living. When | go
down to find the dead | feel that |
