GRO WITH OF THE CHURCH.

A correspondent of the N. Y. EUan-
ge('st gives the following figures as to
the comparative growth of the country
and the Church since 1776
An editorial note in late EUanqelist re.
presented the growth of the Evangelical church.
es In the country as greater, relatively, than
our growth in population, unexampled as that
has been. This is doubtless contrary to the
general impression. But its truth can be even
more strIkingly shown than was done in the
brief paragraph referred to. Estimating the
population of the country to have been in 1776
three millions, and in 1878 forty-fve millions.
1t has increased fifteen times in 102 wears But
Tor the same period, the increase in the number
OF ministers has been nearly thirty-thre times,
while the number of Churches is more than
thirty-two times greater. OF the communicate
membership of the Churches in 1776. we have
no reliable figures but for 1878, officially re.
ported and carefully estimated, it amounted to
10, loo,9l6, while the nominal membership was
about twenty eight millions including the
whole Catholic population of the country. num-
oerng SIX millions In 1776 there were 1872
churches. of all denominations, and 90. 92i in
1873, while for these two periods respectively.
the ministers numbered II o56 and 21e4 II
will thus be seen that the growth of the coun-
try compared with that of the Church. has only
been as fifteen to thirty two The average
size of the churches for the two periods cannot
be compared, yet it is quite safe to assume that
1t is greater now than it was then. And if a
comparison could be made between the average
intelligence piety, and fruitfulness of Christians
then and now, it is equally certain that the
present period would appear at no disadvantage.
Hence the assertions that we so often hear some
Times from Christian ministers that the power
OF the gospel Is waning, are not borne out but
contradlcted by the facts. Nevertheless, many
Christians, taking counsel of their fears, and not
OF their faith are found joining with infidels,
who are influenced by hatred Of the truth, in
making these representations"

PROF. ROBERTSON SMITH, as our read
ers know, was, in May last, at the meet
ing of the Free Church General Assem-
bly,, reinstated in his professorship by a
small majority, and suffered to teach.
He was reprimanded for his article on
the " Bible" in the Encyclopedia Britain
MICA, and made a sort of penitential
speech. Since that meeting new vol
ume Of the Encyclopedias has appeared
containing new articles by Prof Smith in
which he repeats his views as to the late
origin of the Pentateuch and other books
OF the Old Testament, and intimates also
that he does not believe that the Song of
Solomon is inspired in the sense in which
that word has been ordinarily used. Ger
tain Presbyteries at once moved against
him in the matter, among others the Pres
bytery of Edinburgh, in which the Rev.
Mr.. Macauley accused him of represent
ing Eber, the ancestor of Abraham, as
not being a person, but a mere ethnic
name. Prof, Smith, it is proper to re-
mark, explained in letter that these
articles had been prepared before the
meeting of the Assembly, and that he
had expected the volume containing them
to appear before the Assembly met. He
also states in this letter that he had de-
termined to write no more on subjects Of
this sort.
At the request Of the Presbyteries
above mentioned, meeting has just been
held Of the Commission" of the General
Assembly, to consider the new charges
against Professor Smith, and it appears
that by a vote of 210 to 139 he has been
again suspended from his chair.
The " Commission" is a meeting Of the
General Assembly in committee, ordin-
arily for routine business, but with au-
thority to act between the meetings o.
the General Assembly in important mat
ters, should an emergency arise. Gen.
orally there is very slim attendance
but on the present occasion, as the vote

,HE ANNUAL COLLECTION.
OFFICE OF HOME MISSIONS,
Baltimore. August Goth 1890


Dear Brethren,-In view of the collection for
this cause next Sabbath Tor as soon thereafter as
may be conveniently, we beg, in addition to the
full presentation of the subject which has been
made in The Missionary to submit the follow
ing suggestions:
l. The need of a-1arge increase of this fund is
very great Thirty three eyangelists were in
the field last year. Twenty more ought to be
added at once.
2. The population of the South is increasing
rapidly and the Church must endeavor not
only to keep pace with, but to gain on it.
Otherwise godlessness will increase and the
future be full of peril.
8. The opportunities presented to US for
rapid expansion and large usefulness are ex-
traordinary, and must be seized at once Our
western prairies are filling up. Our Southern
fields, so long lying waste are being occupied
Our cities are becoming more populous. Large
areas of country are being opened by railroads.
Manufacturing and mining centres are being
developed. The busy world is moving in our
borders and the Church must press forward with
efforts to sanctify and bless our whole land.
4. This work is at our doors and must be
done by us. God in his providence calls upon
us to do it, and we cannot escape from the duty,
except by its performance.
.. Let every minister, session, and member
Of the Church do what they can and all they
can to help in this noble undertaking. There
is need that every one shall do his utmost to
make this effort success.
Faithfully yours, RICHARD MoILwA1EE,

REPLYING to correspondent with re-
gard to the distribution of that paper on
Sunday, the Dispatch has the following
But. finally, a due regard for candor requires
us to add that if any other journal were to put
out daily issue in Richmond on Monday, doing
all the work upon it on Sunday, the editors Of
the Dispatch would be forced in self-defence to
do likewise five failed to do so, nine tenths, or
perhaps ninety-nine hundredths, of the strictest
Sabbatarians of Richmond would discard the
Dispatch as old-fogyish and behind the times
and take live paper containing all the Sun
day news. We would get no sympathy if we
should lose all of our subscribers
We must take the world as it Is The Sab
bath was made for man; not man for the Sab
bath This writer was brought up after the
strictest manner of the Presbyterians; and he
will never be able to divest himself of the early
impressions made upon his mind upon this sub
ject. He has not outgrown these 'supersttions
and. expects never to outgrow them. But his
conscience upbraids him not for publishing Sun
day paper. On the contrary, he every week
congratulates himself that he is able to be SO
faithful to his Presbyterian predictions as to dc
all the work on Saturday which he is in contin.
ual dread of having to do on Sunday"
The proposition of the Dispatch, in eff
feet, is, that if any other daily journal in
Richmond were to issue paper every
day in the week, that journal would at
once do the same thing; and the Dispatch
maintains that this would be right.
But suppose the other dailies in this
city should determine, under the idea
that it would increase their business, to
violate some other one of the ten COM
mandments (the eighth or the ninth, for
example), would the Dispatch "in self-de-
fence be forced to do the same thing?
If it is right to observe the Sabbath,
the violation of it by other papers would
not furnish an apology to the Dispatch
to violate it also.
Suppose 100 grocers should keep their
stores open all day Sunday, would that
justify grocer No. 10l in keeping his
place of business open on that day?
But the Dispatch throws out that ''the
Sabbath was made for man" Are we
to understand then that ON this ground
printers, and editors, and pressmen are
at liberty to stay in their printing-houses
and work all day Sunday?
The Sabbath was undoubtedly "made
for man; it was instituted as day of
rest from labor and for religious worship
we do not see what it has to do with the
publishing of newspaper. If I am at
liberty to ignore the day because my
neighbor ignores it, where is the thing
to stop? and how shall we preserve the
distinction between right and wrong? and
between right-doers and wrong-doers2

of such an organ and defender of sound

special champions of the faith as ex-

after long sickness. We have received
some resolutions from committee in
Covington passed on the occasion Of
his death, which will be published
next week Mr.. Rice has borne up
against his sickness for more than q
year, working on when no doubt he was
not well able to do SO. He was the pastor
of the church in Covington, and of several
others in the county of Allegheny, and
he acted also as County Superintendent
of Schools. He was grandson of the
venerable David Rice of Bedford county,
Va, who was the apostle of Presbyte-
rianism in Kentucky. He was an earn
est, faithful, and successful pastor, and
was in charge of the church at Coving-
ton for about forty years, where ne was
highly esteemed. His labors during this
period were abundant throughout all
the surrounding region.

The gospel is now freely preached in

missionaries are making great progress.
