Waukeen Walks into Mckee

Nez York, II osquin Miller writes
in reply to Mckee Rankin's claim of
hsvir & written the ''Danites" and paid
the poet Miller for the use of his name:
The books which have borne my name
were executed by patient toll. They have
elected from reviewers many severe
criticisms. have been charged, and
perhaps justly, with many faults and
follies. but the charge Of want of origin
atty is not one Of them In the ten
thousand pages of comment upon me
and my werk, have yet TO find the &C.
cusation that received the EoHor and
the pay for the task performed by an
other. When. therefore, man like
Mckee Rankin makes chsrge of this
kind I find myself il the position of one
who, when sitting down to bis boiled
joint, finds that dog has stolen it; has
munched it out Of palatable shspe, rolled
it in the mire and is claiming proprietor
ship. The exact result Of such an incl
dent is that morally the joint is the
mans, but actually when be comes to
look at it he doesn't care to own it, nor to
engage in q canine fight to prove that he
ever did.

Circular.

To the Pastors, Sessions and Members oftte Pres
byteridn Church:
Dear Brethren-In reminding you of the
Annual Collection for the cause of Publication
which is directed by the General Assembly to be
taken up in all our churches on the first Sabbath
of March, or as soon thereafter as possible, we
invite your earnest attention to the following
considerations:
lst. During the last three years and half
the debt resting upon this cause has been re-
duced from about 100000 Gncuding principal
and interesD to about $4,000. This encourages
hope Of a speedy and entire relief from this
burden
I'd. limited increase in the contributions of
the churches contributing would enable us to
reach this much desired result the present year
or if all our churches, instead Of about one half
las was the case last year, would contribute
proportionately, the end would be accomplished.
Sd. The work of gratuitous distribution of
religious literature among our people, and the
aid in this way of feeble churches, mission fields
and Sabbath schools, is urgently needed and 80
soon as this debt is removed, nearly all the
funds contributed by the Church to the Publica-
ton cause can be used in this way, and the
work be prosecuted with hope Of larger results
than ever before.
In view of these considerations we feel iusti-
fed in pleading most earnestly for an increased
contribution the present year. Will not every
church and Sabbathschool that has been accus-
toned to contribute to this cause make special
effort to increase the amount at the approaching
collection And may we not hope that those
which have hitherto failed to give will at this
time extend their much needed aid?
In behalf Of the Executive Committee OF
Publication. JAS. X. HAzEE.

are people willing to do to the extent of their
ability, and that they have on hand work that
Is beyond their ability. The church building
needs repairs and improvements to make it take
rank in comparative respectablity The build

superior In outward adorning and in. comfort
All OF the other churches have ministers home
attached, most of them beautiful and tasteful

The Presbyterians here have fully resolved
that these things shall no longer be, and have
undertaken at once to build parsonage, indeed
obligating themselves so to do in their contract
with me, their newly elected pastor. We have
proceeded to the extent of accepting plan for
the parsonage, and this week the building will
be let. The people are determined to do the
work, and it will be done without outside aid
but (from my standpoint) recognise the diff
culties, and fear that the debt that thew are as
sumlng, and which for years must hang over
them, will in time prove disastrous to the inter
est OF Presbyterianism and cripple my usefulness,
hence my appeal to the Church at large for aid

Education.

To the Pastors and Brethren of our So,tthe,n
| Presbyterian Church:
Thursday, the Oath of February, is the day
set apart for prayer for students in our colleges
and seminaries. 1t is very important that every
minister and member should lay this subject to
heart. Our candidates are decreasing from year
to year. The harvest is continually enlarging.
Do we desire an increase of laborers? Then let
us pray the Lord of the harvest that He would
raise up more laborers and send them forth into
his harvest. Let there be universal, united
earnest petition for more laborers and for con-
secrated men. If 1t should not suit the con-
venience of all to observe the same day, still let
1t not be neglected. The particular day is not
material so the hearts of Gods people are set
upon this. which we know is in accordance with
his will.
The number of students aided by the Execu-
tive Committee of Education last year, wae
eighty seven. This year it is seventy seven
Thrty-one of these are in the Seminary course
and forty-si in Colleges and Universities 1t
will require $S,475 to pay the appropriations
We are hopeful that our collections will enable
us to do this But we shall not be satisfied with
that result Some of our students surely need
more and many of our churches have con-
tributed nothing to this cause during the pre-
sent year. Just what we desire is this, that
every pastor or stated supply will take up a
collection for this cause: Let this be done, and
whether the amount be large or small we know
the desired result will be- accomplished. We
ask especially that the Chairman of Education
in every Presbytery will stir up the churches
that have not contributed The Secretary will
furnish list of churches that have contributed
to any one who will drop him postal on the
subject.
We take great pleasure in saying that some of
the churches have done better than last year. Our
appropriations are too small and ought to be in
creased. If. every church will make contribu-
ton this can easily be done. And is not this
necessary before we can have an answer to our
prayers? Why should we ask the Lord for an
increase of laborers if we are unwilling to take
care of those we have. "For whosoever hath,
TO him shall be given, and he shall have more
abundance; but whosoever hath not, from him
shall be taken away even that he hath

Relief Fund.

The following report to the ExecutiO Com
mittee of Home Missions was received, approved
and ordered to be published at its meeting OF
February 1st
1.-The Sub Committee on the Relief Schem,
would report that they have carefully examined
into its operations during the last year, and fine
them in all respects satisfactory. The losse,
have been larger than in any former year of its
history, but all have been met out of the Interest
that has been received, so that the whole contri
buttons, beyond its share of the expense account
of Home Missions, have been invested in new
securities, which have increased the total
amount of these to $4,000 The market value
of these is in every instance above par and also
above the price at which they were purchased
showing that the financial committee have dis
charged their duties judiciously and successfully
The larger losses during the year have not i'm
paired its ability to meet its future engage
ments. On the contrary. this is greater than at
any former period. Four years since it was
necessary to estimate that its future accumuia-
tons would be invested at six per cent in
terest so as to make its probable receipts
equal to its probable outlays. Two years
afterward this rate of interest was reduced to
five and a half and one year later to five per
cent. But for the present valuation four and a
half per cent has been used with the American
experience table of mortality and small surplus
of assets over liabilities is yet maintained. The
total liabilities are valued at $35, 1926 A. while
the assets, including bonds, cash and accrued in
terest are $35,5S9 33, showing surplus OF
$263 go.
This is small, but if the market price of the
securities instead of their par value had been
used in this calculation, the surplus would have
been three or four thousand dollars larger Some
of the bonds belonging to this fund are worth
twenty per cent. premium, others fifteen, and all
would average nine or ten On account of the
action of the last General Assembly, no new ap-
phcations have been accepted during the last
year; but whether new additions shall be made
or not. the ability to meet all future obligations
cannot be doubted. 1t may be that some may
abandon their contracts on account of the occur
rences of the last year The only calamity this
will bring will be to those who shall withdraw,
for every such withdrawal will increase the sur
plus on hand and lessen the number of those
among whom its profits will be divided.
I'VE have great pleasure in making this
favorable report and congratulate the Executive
Committee on the prosperity and success of the
scheme of relief for the widows and orphans of
our ministers on which they have bestowed SO
much labor and anxiety.

Female Conversation.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb. 18th, g

Messrs. E'ditors,-If the women follow
your suggestions in the last Central, and
read the books you advise, they will be
so much better informed than the society
men with whom they have to associate,
that they will find no congenial or ap-
preciative associations. So stir the men
up, and do not blame the women for all
the short comings of mankind.
FEMALE SUBSCRIBER.
We judge from the above that our
fair correspondent in Louisville did not
regard our remarks as confined in their
application to Richmond.
We would add that we shall take "the
men" up in due order. Eve, it will be
remembered, was first in the fall.-Eps

1t is indicative of the changes of
opinion that "the Guardian, the conservative
organ OF English churchmen, has opened its
columns for the discussion of the question Of
disestablishment It's correspondents are sim
gularly unanimous in maintaining that disestab-
lishment is the only remedy for the Erastianism
by which, in their opinion the church is now
afflicted. One writer contends that churchmen
will do well to have the question settled as soon
as possible, because better terms can be got now
than at any future time"
