The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1881-08-31

OUR READERS have often heard of
AUGUSTA CoMTE, the great founder of
the so-called Positive Philosophy. He
believed in nothing but the results of
scientific observation-was in fact an
atheist.
M. Comte had co-laborer in M. LIT
IRE, who recently died in Paris. The
aid that M. Littre gave to M. Comte was
so great that he was regarded in some
quarters as equally entitled to be con-
sidered the founder of the system of Pos
itivism. He was one of the most learned
and famous men in France.
When we saw some time ago that on
his death-bed M. Littre, the great cham
pion of free thought, had received the
sacrament according to the rites of the
Romish Church, we were not only aston
ished, but incredulous. 1t appears, how
ever, that the statement is strictly true
as reported, and the matter has been the
occasion of some curious CONN. ents in the
French journals-especially two letters
from M. Emile de Laveleye in La Elan
dire Li5erole.
We have no wish to refer to this sad
affair except for the purpose of observing
how unsatisfying are all these atheistic
speculations in the presence of death
This great philosopher trembled at the
last moment, as he stepped forth to put
to the test the opinions which he had ad-
vocated in his lifetime. Did any CHRIS
T1AN ever draw back at such a moment
save because he had been too little of a
Christian? Where is the instance? Who
has ever regretted, at the supreme mo-
ment, that he had anchored his faith in
Jesus Christ?
And what host Of martyrs and of
peacefully dying Christians have left their
testimony on record to the comforts of
their religion in the moment of death I?
When Voltaire, Paine, and Hume died,
what did they have to look to? How
dark is the shadow which rests on their
last hours
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1881-08-31

The Christian at Work says: LIT is a
sarcasm on the times and the manners of
our latter day Christianity, that the Lon
don religious press should have been
taken by surprise that Bishop Ryle
should have written strong words OF
commentator over the Methodist Con-
ference. One of the Extreme Church
papers raises its interrogation point and
asks deprecatingly, What are we COM
ing to-? Sure enough, what may we not
expect when Bishop of the Establish
ment says kind word of another eccle-
slastical organization than his own? For
one thing we trust we are coming to a
higher plane from whence the good OF
all denominations, and the fact that no
one sect monopolizes all the Lords work,
can be seen as it has not always been.
He that is not against me is with me
Christians of whatever name need to re-
member this"

Episcopacy, and but for the unquestioned
scholarship, the admitted ability in the
pulpit, the piety and the zeal of the
men who passed from Hampden Sidney
through the Union Seminary into the
service OF the Church in the gospel min
lstry, 1T is painful even to conjecture
what would now be the status of our
Church east of the Blue Ridge.
Owing to the fact that the trustees of
the college had been scattered every
where by the intense heat which pre-
vailed during the first week in August,
the constitutional number did not gather
at the meeting which was called in Rich
mond to elect Professor of Biblical In
structiou. He will be appointed, how
ever, In due time, and the religious ele-
ment, always fostered, and by none more
than President Atkinson, will be more
prominent than ever in the course of in
struction hereafter.
The last report of the faithful and eff
clent treasurer showed that the financial
condition of the College was better than
even those who thong int themselves ac-
qualnted with its affairs, supposed it to be.
III.
Another encouraging event is the COM
ing of the Rev. Thomas Wharey, D. D.,
to take charge of the Academy, one mile
from the college, which is a feeder to
that institution, just as the college is
source of supply to the Seminary. The
three institutions work well together.
They form the positive, the comparative,
and the superlative in theological train
ing. DIR. Wharey is ripe scholar, an
experienced teacher. genial, enthusiastic,
full of sympathy with young people,
honored and beloved most by those who
know him best. Some of his former
pupils are now distinguished teachers,
one of them in this city.
The Prince Edward Academy is safe
school, in a favored place-favored by it's
healthfulness, by the culture and refine
ment of the society surrounding it, and
by the salutary moral influences per-
vading it, DIR. Wharey will bring to the
discharge of his duties what is scarcely
less important than a technical knowl-
edge of the sciences he teaches, sincere
desire to advance his pupils intellectually
and spiritually, and personal worth
which will attract and command their
respect and love. All the friends of this
venerable college, endeared to them by so
many memories, will rejoice together at
every promise and prospect of its increas-
ing prosperity and usefulness.

that the best way to view any particular
science is to look down upon it from the
canton of neighboring science. There
must be concentration of the highest eff
forts upon central object of pursuit, but
there may be also numerous agreeable
diversions from the beaten thoroughfare.
AS was said awhile ago, peoples minds
differ like their bodies. So too the same
mind, like the same body, may at differ
ent times call for different treatment
Certain minds, like certain bodies, de-
mand generous diet. Others would be
injured by such pabulum. 1t is one of
the incidental evils connected with the
American collegiate system that our prize
scholars have often read nothing except
the series of textbooks. Discursive read
ing, though by no means substitute for
a severe training, is an excellent, indeed
an almost indispensable thing, not only
for the poet and ttterate,tr, and the man
OF society, but for the public speaker. A
mere student often shows like an igno-
ramus by the side of a mere glutton
of books. But what we aim at is to
point out shoals and quicksands. And
the perils are as many and various as
they are imminent, and to great extent
unavoidable. They are partly due to
the inherent tendency of the method as
method, and partly to the accidental cir
cumstance that the mass of contemporary
literature is infected with the gangrene
of infdelity. The prime danger is to the
moral and religious character.

CHURCHES ORGAN1zED.-In looking over
the comparative summary Of the South
ern Presbyterian Church, lately pub
lished, we find that for the last ecclesias-
teal year thirty-eight churches were or
ganized. The average number for the
last five years was forty-two. But the
average number of churches dissolved
yearly is sixteen, SO that there has been
a clear gain of twenty-six each year, or
one for every two weeks. Considering
the extent of our territory and the in
crease of population we ought to add one
church to the roll for every week in the
year. There is room for great many
more churches in Virginia and in all the
older States, while in the newer ones, as
Florida, Texas, and Arkansas, the most
Of the territory is unoccupied, so far as
our Church is concerned, while the popu-
lation is rapidly increasing. 1t would
be little to the purpose to organize
churches where there would be no pros
pect Of growth, as is shown by the fact
that churches are every year dissolved
after brief struggle for existence. But
all churches have to be feeble at first,
and, as a rule, we are too slow to organ
ize, unless there is prospect Of the
church becoming self-supporting at once.
1t IS true that the membership in the
churches has not increased even in pro-
portion to the increase in the number Of

Another Decision.

Another" ecclesiastical case" has been decided
IN the civil courts-this time in the Supreme
Court Of the State of New York. A Presbvte
ran church in Dunkirk, in the extreme western
part OF the State, was greatly divided by the
lapse of its pastor into Universalism. The
Presbytery of Buffalo suspended him from the
ministry, and sent some of its members to sun
ply the vacant pulpit. A majority of the trug-
tees OF the church took the part of the pastor
and refused to recognize the appointments of the
Presbytery. An injunction was secured bv
those adherlng to the Presbytery, by which the
use of the church by the deposed pastor was
tor6lddden. The trustees then closed the church
and the party adhering to the Presbytery were
forced again into the civil court to regain the
use of the house of worship. Judge Daniels of
the Supreme Court of New York, has lust rem.
dered decision confirming the title of this
party to the church, and declaring that " the
persons still adhering to the religious faith and
articles of belief of their denomination. and who
have hitherto been members of this coporega
ton, are entitled to be continued in the use and
enjoyment Of this church property"
The law ofthe State of New York seems to be
more fully settled than is the case in MANY of
the other States. Previous to 1875 the tenure
OF church property in that State was verv un
certain. 1t was generally held by the courts
that the relations of such property to particular
denominations could be changed at anv time
according to the pleasure Of a majority of the
congregation. In 1875 an enactment was
passed, and in terms extended by an act in
1879, which provided and declared that the
trustees Of religious society incorporated under
the act Of 1913 should administer its temporali-
ties and hold its property and revenues for the
benefit Of the corporation, according to the dis
cipline, rules and usages Of the denomination to
which the corporation belongs"
Under this law Judge Daniels decided in the
case Of the Presbyterian church in Dunkirk that
the adoption Of religious views at variance with
the Presbyterian articles of belief by the pastor
of the church forfeited his right to use the
church edifce in their dissemination :" and gave
the church property to the persons adherln9 to
and supporting the decision Of the Presbvterv
So ends case which, in view Of the explicitness
OF the statute Of the State Of New York, ought
never to have begun.-PresJytcrian

THERE is absolutely no repose but in
God. And the depth of this statement
is rarely fathomed in human experience.
Human trouble, however, is widespread,
and often In oppressive, almost unendur-
able, forms. We seek relief hither and
thither; lean on this reed, and on that
till they all pierce our hands. There
is only ONE great, massive rock on which
we can plant ourselves; only one attitude
which we can fly to-and that is child
like, unqualified submission, non-interro-
cation, and trust.

churches. But with churches in locations
where there are now none, the increase
OF membership would be greater, and
the growth of the Church thereby pro-
NOTED. We sometimes doubtless err by
organizing church prematurely, but
far more frequently the error is the other
way, and the opportunity for building up
the Church is lost.
