MeSSrS. EditorS,-It is indeed source
OF very much pleasure to note that a cor
respondent of your paper is writing
against the growing evils of intemper-
ance, and proposing to remedy. these
evils by legislation. Although having
been constant reader of your most val
ued paper for years, yet have never be-
tore asked space in its columns But it
appears that the time has now come when
1T behooves every friend of Temperance
to give his support and lend his sanction
to that band of defenders who are now
struggling against the insidious foe, whose
tendency is the subversion of all law, Or
der, government and even the ruin of
the Church itself No pen can picture
the evils of intemperance in orr land to-
day We know of neighborhoods which,
few years ago, would not for a moment
have tolerated grogshop. 1t is pain
ful fact that our people appear to have
become more tolerant of such evils
Let none be silent, but let all who seek
the promotion of the best interests of suf-
terlng humanity, aid with his might the
suppression of this growing and alarming
curse.
One section of our county has, for
many years, been remarkably exempt
from this vice. until within the past few
weeks. In. the little hamlet of Bremo
Bluff, containing only four or five fami-
lies, there are now three drinking saloons
We look upon this with fear and tremb-
ling, for it must portend evil in the fu-
ture. Let us beseech you to assail the
evil, for we believe in the potency of the
religious press for good.
1t is to the credit of this time-honored
old county that there was a period (dur-
ing the days of that good man, Gen. Jno.
ID. Cooke, who was a lifelong veteran
and champion in the cause of temperance
when not drink of Intoxicating liquors
could be legitimately bought within its
limits. But alas the glory of the past is
now departed, and that valiant soul has
gone to reap the reward of the finally
faithful.
Let our people be educated through
the public press to higher standard of
duty. Point them to renewable achieve
ments in the State of Maine. Inform
them of the victory which the young
State OF Kansas has won. Indiana, North
Carolina, and South Carolina send forth
no uncertain sound. Can the. Christian
people of Virginia prove recreant during
these dark days of peril and impending
ruin? Yours truly, PH1Los.

it, He said unto them, "They that be
whole need not physician, but they that
are sick. But go we learn what that
meaneth, will have mercy, and not sac
rifice: for am not come to call the right
eous, but sinners to repentance" Here
sacrifice is put for the ceremonial law,
of which it was SO large part to this,
the Pharisees were addicted with zeal
Gus devotion; but inflated with spiritual
pride, they disregarded the higher obi
cations of mercy to the fallen and the
-outcast. Our Saviour rebukes this re-
versal of the order Of religious duties
this subordination of the moral to the
positive. Are not some Christians now
exposed to the same censure? They are
punctilious in the observance of the out
ward forms of religion, but they lack the
spirit of real piety as is shown by their
neglect of the superior duty of sympathy
with the outcast and the unhappy.
In another place, Christ utters a word
upon those who 1.-THE mint, annise, and
cummin, but omit the weightier matters
of the law. Judgment, mercy, and faith.
We fall under this sentence, if in our ex-
elusive devotion to the externals of reli-
gion, we are deficient in faith toward
God, or in justice and charity toward
men. All our assumptions of goodness
are barren form unless sustained by
truthfulness and honesty in our dealings
with our fellow-men, by justice and kind
ness toward those in our service, by ten
der regard for the unfortunate. What
spectacle can be more offensive to Him
who so lived that He acquired the title
of, the friend of publicans and sinners, -
than that of one of His professed follow
ers, standing aloof from the wretched,
with feelings of Indifference, pride, or
scornl 1t becomes us to remember that
our Lord declares His mission to the lost,
that He came to call sinners, not the
righteous to repentance, and that we are
bound to follow Him into every haunt of
sin, and into every abode of misery, seek
ing the lost and comforting the distressed.

Distinction Between Moral ant
Positive Laws.
BY THE REV r a uovr n

BY The Rev. I. A. HoYT, D. D.
Every reader of the Bible must be
struck with the great number of laws,
rules, and precepts which it contains.
Besides the moral law, there are many
civil, judicial, and ceremonial laws, which
were given to Israel by the hand of
Moses, and which controlled the Church
and the nation for long ages.
There are also found positive precepts
given by the apostles to the early Chris
tians, which were adapted to their pecu-
lar condition.
The important question arises, whether
all these are of equal obligation. In
other words, are the commands of the
Decalogue, and those relating to clean
and unclean beasts to be put on the same
footing2 When the apostles forbid for
nication, and the eating of things strap-
gled, do they issue precepts Of equal

Circular.

To the Smperintendents, Teachers, and
Scholars Of Presbyterian Sabbath
Schools.
Dear Friends,-An appeal was made
last year to our Sabbath Schools in be-
half OF the cause of Publication and
while but limited number Oess than
one hundred and fifty of our schools re-
sponded to this appeal, the amount
raised by them (nearly 5000 was very
important help and we are encouraged
to make similar appeal the present year,
with the hope that many more will be
induced to contribute.
The Publication cause of our Church Is
closely related to the Sabbath School
work k in more ways than one, but it has
special claims upon all connected with
our Sabbath Schools, because one of its
great objects is to extend aid in the form
Of Sabbath School literature to schools
IN feeble churches and mission fields.
This part Of our work we hope soon to be
able to prosecute efficiently, and in order
that we may do so at once, we make this
earnest appeal for your help.
Will not our pastors and superinten.

properly instructed in the doctrines of
our Church. Catechetical instruction is
neglected while they are young, and
when they grow up they have no correct
ideas of the doctrines of our Church, and
of the plan of salvation, and they allow
themselves to drift into the denomina-
ton which makes the best compromise
with the world.
In some of our Presbyterian Sunday
Schools here in the West the Shorter Cat.
echism is not even heard of. A great
many Of the children do not know that
there is such thing in existence. Even
IN Montgomery City found that there
was not Catechism to be had. The
children know nothing about the Cate
cbism, and it will be no easy task to get
them to study it.
1t is impossible to attach too much i'm
portance to the duty of catechising the
children of our Church. If we would
have true and sound Presbyterians, they
must be indoctrinated while young.
There is only one way to preserve the
purity of our Church in the midst of so
many conflicting and corrupting inAu-
ences, and that is by instilling into the
minds and hearts of the young the pure
doctrines of the Bible before they are ex-
posed to these influences. The young of
a congregation are just as much a part
OF the flock over which the minister is
placed as the old, and there is only one
way to reach the young, and that is by
special instruction. All our Sunday
School machinery can never take the
place of catechetical instruction. In this
we must adhere to the old mode.
1t Is to be feared that our Catechism is
becoming too unpopular in our Sunday
Schools, and we are depending too much
upon our system of cut-amd-da1ed'' les
sons for the religious instruction of our
children. III. M. SYDENsTRIcKER.

For the Central Presbyterian.
Reciting Catechism for Bibles
Gro BE CoNTINUED.)

was very much interested in the ac-
count given by our brother from Giles
county, Va, of the manner in which
children IN his charge obtain Bibles by re-
citing the Catechism. And Join him in
expressing my regrets that this impor-
tant duty is SO much neglected by our
Presbyterian people. / know that the
children are just as willing to study the
Catechism as they ever We're. There are
hundreds of children in our Church that
would gladly study the Catechism, if
they were only encouraged little by
their pastor and parents.
Allow me here to give my own expe-
rience on this point:
When L left the Seminary last spring,
L went to West Tennessee to take charge
OF two small churches There were not
many children in either congregation,
and [ soon discovered that catecheticai
instruction had been at least partially
neglected. 1t was my custom to have
preaching in the afternoon especially for
the children. On one of these occasions T
took hand full of Catechisms to church.
and after preaching / told the children
| had proposition to make to them.
l stated the conditions on which the
Bibles were given. 1t is impossible to
express my qualification and Joy when
more than forty children, with bright
and smiling faces, came up and received
each a Catechism, with the promise to
recite to me within six months. never
saw children more eager than they were.
Nor were they all children, for not few
OF them were young ladies; and also two
or three young men promised to study the
Shorter Catechism. These very young
ladies and young men afterwards thanked
me for having presented the subject to
them. And strange to say, some OF them
were members of the Methodist Church.
A few months after / had distributed the
Catechisms, felt it my duty to take
charge of another church, and 80 had to
leave those dear children. But before I
left, t1OeIUe Of them recited perfectly to
me. One of the number was a yor1nc
lady of the Methodist Church who had
never seen a Catechism before. After
she had recited it, she thanked me, and.
while tears filled her eyes, she told me
she had not studied it for q Bible. but
had taken it through mere curiosity, but
found it so interesting that she could not
keep from studying it, and the instruc-
ton she had received from it had paid
her thousand times for her labor. And
she further remarked that she had
learned more about the Bible and relig-
ion from the Cstechism than she ever
knew before, and it was the best little book
she ever saw, quite compliment to our
little Catechism). OF course she got q
| Bible.
make mention of these facts merely
to show what may be done by little eff.
fort and encouragement. is not hard To
explain why, especially in this western
country, Presbyterianism has declined
so much, and why so many of the chill
dren Of our Church stray off and Join other
