Tribute of Respect.
DIR. H. G. JOHNSTON.

DIR. H. G. JOHNSTON.
Resolutions adopted by Pearisburg church,
November 18th, 1881.
Whereas it hath pleased the great Head of
the Church, in his mysterious and inscrutable
providence, to remove from the Church militant
to the Church triumphant, our beloved brother
DR.. II. g. Johnston Therefore
ResoIved. That while we mourn his depar.
ture, we will humble ourselves under the nigh
ty hand of God, and bow submissively to His
well. '"-e
Resoyyed That this church has sustained an
lrreParable loss, being deprived of an exemplary
Christian, an earnest and efficient Sabbath
School worker, and wise and prudent coun-
selor
ResoIyed. That the sympathies and nravers
Of this church be rendered to his sorrowing
family praying that the God of all grace would
be husband to the widow and father to the
ResoIged. That a copy Of these resolutions be
sent to the family Of the deceased also to the
county paper, to the Central Presbgter1an. and
Christian Observer for publication.
JAMES B. PECK, Moderator
D. W. MASON, Secretary.

The PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH of the
South has in immediate contact with it a
great field for missionary work, which
deserves its most serious attention and
consideration. A heavy responsibility
rests on it in connection with the evan
gelisation of the colored race. For the
present, we desire merely to call atten-
ton to the card of the corresponding Sc
cretary, Rev. DR.. G. A. Stillman, pub
lished elsewhere. Next Sabbath is the
time for the collection for the Institute
for Training Colored Ministers Of the Cos
pei, at Tuscaloosa.

In december is the time appointed by the Gen.
eral Assembly for the annual collection for this
object. We are about to occupy the new build
ing which the Assembly authorized us to have
erected, and which is nearly paid for We now
have two Professors at work. The number of
colored Presbyterian students is increasing and
others are applying who need aid. We have
no income except from the churches, and we
continue to rely on their liberal support

Rev. BARBEE BETTs.-This young and
faithful minister, pastor of the New Prov
idence church, Pennsylvania Presbytery,
Kentucky, died after protracted illness
on the 18th inst. He was born in this
city July lst, 1850; but having removed
in early life, resided in southwestern Vir-
ginia until he entered the ministry, about
FIVE years ago. His ministry, in which he
was very successful was exercised first
in Bath county, Kentucky, and afterward
in Mercer county, where he was laboring
as pastor Of New Providence church when
he was Frustrated by sickness about the
first Of October.

IT is mentioned that in all parts of
England one may see the announcement
of the sale of some hereditary estate
which has been handed down among the
noble families from generation to genera
ton. Among the estates thus disposed
of are some Of the most valuable portions
of the property Of the Duke of Westmin-
ster. 1t is a simple impossibility that
the land of Great Britain can continue to
be held for great many years longer in
the hands of hundred thousand or more
proprietors.

COUNT CAMp1E11o.-We clip the fol-

lowing from the Christian at Work.:
Rev. DR.. Leroy M Vernon, in letter from
Rome or the conversion of Count Campello, can
on of ST. Peters, says: The moral significance
and influence of this conversion can hardly be
over estimated. 1t may safely be said that no
single case since the Reformation, taken all in
all has been SO striking and noteworthy nor
has any single conversion from Romanism so
stunned the Vatican and its adherents Count
Campiello has had many letters of congratulation
and encouragement from various parts of Italy :;
not few, also from other lands. Various
priests, yet in the service of Holy Mother
Church" applaud his step, and say they would
gladly do likewise could they by any labor find
wherewith to be fed and clothed" A few
priests of good position have appealed to us for
admission and service in our Church. Certainly
no dozen facts together, snce the opening Of
Italy to the Gospel, have led so many people to
note the waning influence of the papacy, or to
think seriously upon the merits and rising i'm
portance of Professionalism in Italy. Nothing
during this century has announced in Rome, so
like bugle blast, the word, Awake thou that
sleePest, and arise from the dead and Christ
shall give thee thee light"

A New COMMENTARY ON MARK.-T

A New COMMENTARY ON MARK.-The
Presbyterian Publishing Company of this
city announce the publication of COM
mentary on this gospel by the Rev. w.
A. Campbell of Manchester, Va. 1t is
stated that as the Book of Mark will be
studied consecutively in the Sunday
Schools during the next year, and will
be the sole subject of the international
Lessons, the present work, while designed
for permanent usefulness, has been pre-
pared with especial reference to the wants
of Sunday School teachers and others
who will study this gospel in this con-
nection
The form of the book alone will give it
a decided superiority over other com
mentaries, as Mr.. Campbell has printed
the Authorised Version and the Revised
Version in parallel columns so that both
versions will be before the reader at once
The work will be issued in four parts,
each part to consist of about 80 or go
pages, limo, in plush cloth, so arranged
that the four can be bound in one volume.
The First Part is to appear tomorrow.
The price of each part will be 25 cents.
The whole bound in one volume, 81.

A PARAGRAPH in the Central Pre85y-
terrain two weeks ago touching some
remarks by the Rev. DR.. M. D. Hoge to
the effect that he had never observed the
spiritual condition Of the church to be
lower than it is at present, leads to some
observations on this subject by our neigh
Dor Of the Southern Chuchman, which
are so just and SO timely that we repub-
lish them elsewhere (under the head Of
Z" Good Testimony with the hope that
they will be read and seriously pondered
by all who wish to do right.

MARION HARLAND (says the Christian
at Work), the well-known writer, whose
real name is Mrs. Terhune, teaches a class
of forty young men in the Sunday School
of a Congregational church in Springfield.
Her husband is pastor of the church.
Her teaching is said to be as interesting
as her novels and her cookery book.
Mrs. Terhune is the sister of the Rev.
II. II. Halves, of Farmville, frequent
contributor to this paper. And of Mr..
S. H. Halves, of this city.

SNAP IN SERMoNs.-We were struck
with a little anecdote narrated to us by
a very wise and excellent minister (not
in Richmond) about conversation he
had with another minister (of different
connection) on the subject of the proper
kind of preaching. The latter inquired
OF our friend what book or books he could
recommend as the best to aid and guide
him in the preparation of his sermons !?
Our friend replied that for his part he
had derived more benefit from Bates than
from anybody else. "Bates," said our
enquirer, Bates? l never heard of him. 4"
He was an eminent Non-conformist di-
vine OF the seventeenth century" replied
our friend. well" said the second
minister, ~ have been reading novels
l wanted to give a certain infusion of
snap to my sermons, and I thought
could get it from some of our best novels. :"
1t is this effort to tickle the ears of the
hearers with "snap" that has made the
pews so intolerant of that heart-searching
spiritual preaching which characterised
the healthier epochs of the church. 1t
is the nourishing of those who wait on
the ministrations of the sanctuary with
snap" that has had largely to do with
the prevailing spiritual leanness which
marks at this time the sheepfolds of Zion.

Mrs. ANDERSON, the wife of Judge F. 7. An.
derson Of the Court Of Appeals died in Licking
ton, Va, last Sabbath. Mrs. Anderson was a
member Of the Presbyterian church Of Licking
ton, in which her husband is ruling elder.
Sac was widely known as woman of estima
bic Christian character, and her death is not
only an affection to her husband and numerous
relatives, but great loss to the church, which
she helped by her piety and Christian works.

It will be cheering to patent outsiders
and people who write communications for
country newspapers to learn that the Pa
cifc Press Free Lunch Association has re-
solved to admit to membership all editors,
reporters and correspondents of Pacific
Coast newspapers. The association was
originated by the agent of a type foundry
and has had very sicky existence of three
years. It is good for nothing but to serve
as an excuse for free junketings by people
who hang on the outskirts of journalism.

ton who may be considered a fair news
