A Great Preachers Poverty

Jonathan Edwards fought hard bat
tie with penury in his last years, and
was often sorely perplexed to find food
tor his large family. Dismissed from
the church at Northampton, Mass, over
which he had been pastor for quarter
of century, he removed to Stockbridge
to labor among the Indians. He was
obliged to support his family of ten chill
dren on mere pittance. In this seclu-
sion he wrote his treatise on the Free
dom Of the Will, which is regarded as q
masterpiece in theological literature
So great was his poverty at this time
that the treatise was written largely ON
the backs of old letters and the blank
pages of pamphlets, as letter paper was
beyond his means of purchase. His
daughters, all young women Of superior
mental powers, made lace and painted
fans for the Boston market, that they
might add something to the family re-
sources.

A TRUE NARRATIVE.

Many years ago l spent winter in the
West Indies, on the island of st. Croix,
then favorite resort for invalids from
the United States, and especially for
consumptives. It's mild, even tempera-
ture, the rare beauty of its tropical
scenery, and its excellent roads travers-
ing the island in almost every direction
these together offered strong inducements
for outdoor excursions As I soon dis
covered it was the universal custom, re-
garded even as sanitary necessity
among the invalids and their friends, to
spend large part of the day in driving
out. Carriage hire was moderate item,
and by combining for this end in groups
of two or more, the expense of course
was greatly lessened.
was barely settled in my new home,
large boarding house at the "West
End, when [ was approached by one of
the inmates, gentleman from the State
of New York, whose sole motive in seek
ing my acquaintance, as 1 soon learned,
was to secure my companionship for an
arrangement of this kind. Though but
slightly prepossessed in his favor, some
what heedlessly gave my consent. And
thus during the three months of our stay
on the island, we were thrown constantly
and closely together in our almost daily
drives. Mr.. B., though intelligent and
cultivated, was not cheerful compan-
ion, and his disease, a deep-seated pull
monary complaint, affected his temper
as well as his spirits. AS to our whole
intercourse, it was true that he had at

and loneliness appealed to my sympa-

grew warmer, Mr. B. evidently lost
ground, and it was matter of general re-
mark that his disease seemed to be near
ing fatal termination.
Early in the month of March pro-
position was made to the visitors to
charter q sailing vessel for the voyage
homeward, the plan being to stop by the
way and spend some days at several of
the larger islands, the voyage to cover
about six weeks. Some thirty or more
made up the party. And my friend, Mr..
B., on hearing that was Of, the number,
at once decided to join me. More than
this he insisted on our occupying to-
gether the same state room aboard-ship.

very serious, yet such as l could not name

For the Central Presbyterian.
A Meditation on the Uses of the
Word "Pneuma."
BY REV. MAURICE ]. EVANS.
PENMAENMAwR, WALES April g.

PENMAENMAwR, WALES. April 8, 81.
MeesrS. EaitorS-In common with many
friends in this part, 1 am indebted for
very great enjoyment to the communion
with Christian brethren far and near,
through the columns of the Central Pres
6yterlon. Perhaps your readers will ac-
cept as little instalment on my part, by
way Of returning the obligation 1 ana un-
der to your writers, few reflections on
the use of the word Pneuma or Spirit,
hurriedly jotted down by me in the
course of my reading. The Biblical use
of the word has considerable bearing upon
Christian doctrine.
The primitive or chronological signif-
cation then of pneune0 should be exam
ined in the first place. 1t is that of a
breeze or gust Of air; and this word is one
among very many others which indicate
the numerous counterparts existing in the
visible creation to the invisible things of
the kingdom Of God. Because of this
intimate correspondence, Jehovah was
pleased to employ only one and the same
word (Ruach) in the Old Testament to
denote another, the Holy Spirit, or the
winds of earth, or in the language of
Scripture, the 1Ojnd8 of heaUep. The due
discrimination between these several
meanings must depend greatly in many
cases upon the degree of sympathy one
has with the language and thoughts of
revelation. Thus Gen. j 2, where the
seventy translate, "(The) Spirit of God
moved above the water" Josephus ration
allies their words into "a breeze from
above (pne1naa ont5hen) swept down"
upon it. Yet he knew perfectly well the
distinction between pneuneo and wind,
as he speaks Of vehement winds" lane
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1881-04-27

even as it is placed before angelous in
the Greek; and more than that, if the
winds had been meant in the New Tesla
ment, usage would have required the en-
ployment of anenotls instead of pneat-
nadta.- The Targum, like the Xxx, takes
His angels as the subject in the pas
sage of the Psalms HE maketh His
angels swift.as spirits" Cor as aoinds)-
The true meaning implies not only s,oitt-
ness, but also the lofty nature of God s
angels, as is evident from the Specification
of the word spirit.
We have already passed, in our COM
paratively brief examination of the his
toric import of the word spirit, from the
simple, childl;ke sense in which the term
was used by the early Greeks, up to its
august Specification in the language of
divine revelation, and down to the be-
ginning of its decline in the usage of later
Greek writers, and in doing so we have
skirted the terrible abyss of world of
evil spirits. If we could proceed further
we might trace the deeper degeneration
of the word g. e. deeper than that of the
second century,, through the manifold
senses in which it is used in the modern
heathendom of some of the more cultured
nations of the present day. Enough has
been seen to prove afresh that the lam
g1oge of divine revelation performs for
language in general the office of salt in
nature, preserves it from corruption and
decay.
To the influence of the majestic diction
of Scripture is to be traced, however, the
robustness of the English and French
languages at the time of the Reformation
and the new life impaired to the German
language In Luthers day. How much
of the earlier literature of Holland owes
its immediate origin to the Bible is we'll
known to all who have studied that lit
erature, as indeed the greater part of the
literature of Wales too springs directly
out of the study of the Bible. We all
know also how that preaching is most
powerful to edifcation, in which the
thoughts of the speaker are bathed in the
thoughts and inspiration of the Book OF
Books, and for that reason are even in
sensibly moulded in the language OF
Scri pture.
This recognition of the powerful in
huence of the word of God, in fashioning
our own words and thoughts, sheds fresh
light upon the apostolic injunction, &" Let
your speech be Away with grace, sea-
soned with salt" and adds renewed force
to the declaration of the Saviour, "By
thy words thou shalt be justified, and by
thy words thou shalt be condemned.
But have exceeded my limits. If these
few stray notes shall tend to deepen the
impression of the dignity put upon hui
man language, in clothing therein Gods
thoughts of salvation, they will not have
been written in vain.

ment, among them Acts IL: 70, Him, be-
ing delivered by the determinate coun-
sci and foreknowledge of God, we have
taken, and by wicked hands have cruel
fed and slain" He then at once added
in his peculiar, emphatic way, "Thats
God Almighty's truth, you can believe it
or not" at the same time turning alb
ruptly around on his chair, he said, "I'll
take your name; you can have it erased
if you wish" DIR. Nall says he was
silenced; but that this was the very
course he needed. The next Sabbath
DIR. Nelson announced his name with a
large number of others as received into
the church. This interview was the only
examination held, and DIR. Nall has no
knowledge of the manner in which the
Session took cognizance of his case. 1t
is a noteworthy fact that so soon as he
accepted God word his perplexity ceased,
and he has never felt, he says, any mis-
giving as to the truth and harmony of
those doctrines since.
The next year after his graduation, viz,
in 1882, the Marion Presbyterian church
was organized, and the name of Robert
Nall is found first on the roll Of the
twenty-three persons enrolled at the or
ganization, one only is still member Of
this church, and only two besides Dr.
Nall, are still living. He was also one
of the first ruling elders. From this
feeble beginning sprang a church which
in the forty eight years of its existence,
has enrolled something like eight hun
dred members, numbering at the present
time about one hundred and forty.
In addition to these facts showing the
community of interest between DR.. Nall
and the Marion church, another of per-
haps greater moment, is to be noted, viz
he was the first regular pastor of the
church, having been installed in Novem-
her, 1884. He held this relation until
his acceptance of call from the Second
church, Mobile, in 1843. The Marion
church has had but two regularly in
stalled pastors in the half century of
its history. In the interval between the
pastorate of DR.. Nall, and Of the present
pastor, T. e., from 1913 to 1858, the church
was supplied by several ministers for
periods varying from six months to two
years, among whom were S. R. Frierson,
Thomas w. Alexander, R. E. Sheriff.,
DIR. John w. Pratt, and P ]. Sparrow
D. d. The memory of some of these
brethren is still fresh and fragrant in the
congregation. But though SUI h a worthy
line of ministers have served this PEE pie,
embracing men of eminent gifts and rep
utation, DR.. Nall is very naturally loved
and venerated as the pioneer and father
of this church. 1t was good to see him
here once more, in his old age, to listen
to the story of the Cross from his lips, and
to hear his matured, spiritual counseis
but it was painful JOY. His words
seemed as the parting words of vener-
able patriarch. The impression could
not be resisted that this was probably the
last time this congregation would ever
sit under the preaching of their first pas
tor 1t must be to him grateful rehec-
ton as he is passing the evening of life,
that two Of his sons are occupying i'm
portant posts as watchmen on the walls
of Zion

HIS FIRST BABY.

Dear Sister l now take my seat
and sit down to take this opportuni-
ty to inform you that l am a daddy
at last Able has a nice, fat baby,
and we hope these few lines may
find you enjoying the same blessing.
Now, this is to be strictly a business
letter. Firstly, as l said before,
Able has got as nice a baby as ever
made up faces Nextly, | have
snapped away old Buckskin, and l
think | have pretty nice horse; it
is a girl and weighs nine pounds, q
mean the baby and it is as fat as

lungs. She has got blue eyes and a
dimple in the chin, q mean the ba-
by now and just the prettiest mouth
that ever opened to receive pap
and Judging from her teeth l should
think she is about six years old q
mean the horse now. She is sound,
smooth and kind q mean the horse
or the baby either now,) and the
doctor says she is the fairest he ever
saw, without exception. Gle means
the baby.) I got twenty-five dol
lars to boot (not on the baby, though,
for in its case the boot was Oh the
other foot, and two or three sizes
larger, as near as I can find out.)
She is as hearty as a pig; ate an
egg, a biscuit, and drank three cups
Of tea for dinner Il mean Abbe).
She is getting along nicely, and if
she don't have any bad luck she will
get along frst-rate. She is troubled
with disorders of the stomach, and
they say this is a sign of the collie.
q mean the baby) I hope it is,
for the nurse says colicky babies
never die. She talks out of her nose
as she takes snuff. (The nurse, [
mean now.)
There, I've been reading this oyer,
and I see plainly that I amt fit to
write. The amount of it is, l am
frustrated. l am a happy daddy,
and that accounts for it so you
must excuse this time.

GAZE EoR YOUR HORSE.

Let any one who has the care of a
horse these cold, frosty mornings,
deliberately grasp in his hand a
piece of iron indeed, let him touch
it to the tip of his tongue, and then
let him thrust the bit into the mouth
of his horse if he has the heart to do
it. The horse is an animal of nerv-
Gus organization. His mouth is
formed of delicate glands and tissues.
The temperature of the blood is the
same as in human beings, and, as in
man, the warmest part of the body.
Imagine, we repeat, the irritation
that would be caused the human and
consider that; if not to the same de-
gree, still the suffering to the animal
is very great. And it is not mo-
mentary pain. Food is eaten with
difficulty, and the irritation ifrepea-
ted day after day, causes loss of APP
petite and loss of strength. Many
horse has become worthless from no |
other cause but this. Before India

my sex, brought on by various caus-

iaiized, injected, and went through
with all the painful and unpleasant
treatment of family doctors, and
grew worse under it. A few days
ago consulted DIR. Jones, who told
me he could soon relieve me and
finally cure me. l paid him his fee
and told him was his patient, and
to my great joy his treatment was
totally different from all others, ac-
companied with no pain nor unpleas-
antness, and relieved me in one half
hour; and I have been under his
treatment now seven days, and can
walk and work like a young girl
Thus this great master physician
had cured me after nineteen family
doctors had utterly failed. Iy.shall
never forget DIR. Jones, and l feel 1t
my duty to recommend DR.. Jones to
all afflicted ladies.

Hon. W. P. Gillenwaters, of Haw-
kins county, is at Nashville. He is
hoping that the Senatorial lightning
will strike him. If Republican
has to be elected at the present ses-
sion, we (and we believe a very
large majority of the people of Haw-
kins county and of the first con-
gressional district had rather see
that gentleman receive the honor
and emoluments than any other man
Of that party in the State AS to
personal honesty he has fully as
much as any politician of the mod
ern school as to political integrity
he is the equal of Garfield or any of
the others; as to intellectual force
and natural brain power he is su-
perior to any Republican in Tennes-
see and the equal of almost any in
the Nation, land you see we write
that with a big NJ. Mr.. Gillen-
waters is comparatively a young
man. He did more to confuse the
Democratic party and to elect Haw-
kins Governor than any other man
lie the State. He is a thoroughbred
Tennessean-a Tennessean by birth, |
education, feeling and thought-and |
would work harder for the people of
this State than any other person the
could select. There
fore, if three or four Democratic
members of the present Legislature
have been paid ten thousand dollars
each to vote for a Republican for
the United States Senate, as the ru-
NOR is, we.hope they will vote for
Gillenwaters.

Upon which a contemporary continues:
Is that all? Has no calamity bsfallen
that fellow? Surely he'll meet with
some shocking catastrophe. We re-
member few years ago one of our sub
Scribers came to town with two hundred
bushels of wheat. He sold it for 81 per
bushel; paid his merchant $40, spent
800 for supplies, including dresses and
nicnacs for his family, gave So for a gall
lon of whisky, got "stone blind" and
started homeward with $55 in his peck
st-forgettinG to call aud pay us 81.
The night was dark; heavy rain set in;
he drove off a bridge, drowned his oxen,
lest his wagon, and came very near be-
ing drowned himself He went home,
whipped his wife, made up a big fire,
went to sleep, and never awoke. His
house took fire during the night, and
burned himself, wife and children to
death. This was the sad ending of the
man who failed to pay fer his paper
when divine providence had blessed
him in way that be might do so. 9th
srs should take warning. We shudder
when we think of the danger to which |
hey are exposed.
