was preaching. With all this he cannot
supply the demand. The whole people
are demanding preaching of higher
order, more instructive, more doctrinal
than they have been accustomed to get
from other denominations, and hence the
Presbyterian church, if the men could be
found, would exert tremendous infa-
ence In this whole region. Brother
Haynes is anxious to divide his field. 1t
is too large for any one man, and if we
had more men of the spirit of the late
lamented Conner, there would be field
of usefulness in this very region have
been traversing, of very extensive char
acter. 1t is admitted that the Presby-
terrain ministry is distinguished for its in
telligence, doctrinal soundness, and con-
servatism; and as people rise in intelli-
gence themselves they must have preach
ing to fit the cravings of their intellect.
They will not put up with mere horta-
thing on which to feed. Hence let a
Presbyterian minister settle in country
and make long and persistent effort,
the invariable result will be that Pres
byterian church will be established.

The night we spent on Glade Creek we
were the guests of Mr.. White, whose
good wife is the sister of that distin-
guished scholar, Prof. Humphrey, for
merly of Washington and Lee, but now
of Vanderbilt. This remarkable man is
native of Greenbrier county, and his
brilliant career is an illustration of the
truth that genius is not confined to any
charmed circle, but may be found among
the palmer circles of life, and all that is
wanted is the opportunity for its develop
ment.
| have omitted in these jottings de-
scription of the scenery of the head
waters Of Gauley and Elk: Along these
water courses the bluffs rise to great
height, and there is comparatively little
low ground OFF some little distance the
land is rolling and generally very rich,
and such timber as can be found in hardly
any section this side of California. When
the steam horse begins to snort through
these gorges millions and millions of feet
of lumber will be prepared and find
market in less highly favored regions.
Nearly every foot of land, too, is under
laid by coal, and inexhaustible supplies
of iron ore are found along the entire
route l travelled. But 1 must reserve
for another number my further observa-
tions. D. B. E.

"Our City Churches"

An article in your issue of the 18th
inst, with the caption, Our City Church
es, presents comparative view of the
membership of some of these churches in
the years 1876 and 1881. 1t is a val
liable and very suggestive statement.
The figures, however, in the case of one
of these churches-and the same is doubt
less true of others-are calculated to
create an incorrect impression.
In the year 1876 there were on the
roll of the Glebe Street church, Charles
ton, S. c., 259 names; and in 1881, only
2lO. This difference needs to be con-
sidered in the light of three facts, which
are extra ordinary:
1st. 1t was found in 1976-'77 that a.
very considerable number of names upon
the roll represented no valid membership,
by reason of long absence from the city,
and for other causes. These were placed
on a retired list, and have never since
been counted in the membership of the
church.
I'd. During these years colony was
set off from this church to form the Ebe-
nezer church.
Sd. Since 1876, business and other con-
slderatlons have caused the removal from
the city of an unusually large number of
entire families belonging to this congre-
cation. These have taken with them
some sixty or seventy of the members of
the church. This large drain has been
compensated for, as far as the congrega-
ton is concerned, but as yet very many
OF these worshlppers are hearers only"
Rut even with the oorreotions which
may modify very considerably the show
ing in special cases, it remains sadly true
that our growth is far from encouraging.
Such reviews of our condition, and the
results of our work, as are furnished by
your correspondents figures, ought to
arouse us to greater diligence and devo-
ton, to deep humiliation in view of our
shortcomings in duty, and to earnest
prayer to God for the blessing from on
high. J..

S. X. Y's" Vindication.

MesSrs. E'ditorS,-One who had not
attentively read the piece in the Central
of August 18th. on 1.-THE Direct Study of
the Bible in Theological Seminaries, 4"
might be led by the rejoinder it has oc-
casioned from 81. A. P, in your recent
issue, to think that it must have pro-
nounced censure upon our own Semi
naries. 81. A. P. not only says of that
production, the tendency of which was
to weaken the confidence of our Church
in our seminaries," but he speaks of his
own article as a "vindicatien" of our
Seminary, made necessary by what he
pronounces its cum ust" criticism" upon
the seminaries, and unjust upon Union
Seminary in particular Lest, therefore,
any may be under the impression that
my article contained an unfriendly criti-
cism of the semlnaries or any one of them,
[ desire to show that this impression has
no corresponding reality.
l. The article to which 81. A. P" OBJ
jects, speaks only of what is common to
all the seminaries, and not peculiar to
this or that school of theology. 1t does
not contain the word oar as limiting the
application of its doctrine at all.
2. 81. A. P" has not denied the truth
of any statement or assumption found in
the piece which he implicitly represents
as making a vindication" of our Semi
nary necessary, and the tendency OF
which he expressly brands as most hurt
full. He declares. that there is much
direct study of the Bible in the beloved
seminary which he attended but this
never doubted. ALI that I assumed was
that my readers would bear witness to
the fact that Systematic Theology, and
not Exposition Of Scripture, holds the
highest place among the studies of our
seminaries. Such is my impression, and
| wrote under the assumption that no
one acquainted with seminary life would
deny its truth.
3. 81. A. 2" fully concurs in the main
proposition of the article he censures.
1t was written simply to call attention to
the right Of Exposition" to be practical
ly regarded as the most important study
In course Of preparation for the minis
try. -. A. P. declares that he takes
no exception I" to the position that expo
sitlon IS Of supreme Importance On
the contrary, he intimates that he has
huch HOre 10 say IN favor OF this suprem-
acy than my article contained.
a.. Now since my whole piece consisted
Of the assumption that exposition is not
treated In the seminaries as being of SUI
preme Importance, and the proposition
that it should be instated in this suprem-
acy, with some considerations in proof
thereof, and since ~. A. p" does not
deny the assumption Of fact, and does
confirm the proposition, and would only
add to what was said, in proof of the
same, he ought not to charge me with an
unjust criticism upon Union or any other
seminary.

The Empire of the Rising Sun
BY REV. H. C. DUBosE, MISSIONARY TO
CHINA.
Tokio-The Progress.

In the old biographies, the population
of Yeddo, now Toxic, was put down at
two millions-the largest city in the
world. Since then, London has been en-
larging her borders; also the census has
shown Toxic to have only 100000. Yet
tits not surprising, when visitor stands
upon one of the hills and sees the vast
city, eight miles long and five broad,
when he walks through her streets and
beholds the dense population, that an
extravaganza estimate was made. The
city has become foreignized to a great
extent, so that the streets are widened
and the houses larger. I could not help,
coming from the Celestial country look
ing out for the city wall; but no wall
was seen, for the japanese think it as
queer to have wall around their city as
we do. Most of the streets were formerly
fifteen or twenty feet wide, but now
many are sixty and one hundred feet
wide, and some of them running perfectly
straight for five miles.
The Native Houses
Are mostly small and built of boards
thin plank of pine, something between
our pine and the white pine. They are
not as high, large, or substantial as the
Chinese houses. Neither do we find all
houses built exactly alike, as in China.
AS the buildings are of dry pine, they
invite fire, and the fire is not slow to
accept the invitation. The history of
Toxic is history of conAagrations,
sweeping in night through one-half
or two-thirds Of the city 1t is the great
fear of the people. Landlords rent their
houses at one-third the value, on &C
count of the insecurity. This leads them
to erect fre-proof buildings, called go
downs, for storing property. These are
built with mud walls, generally large
mat shed erected over them while in
process of construction, so that they may
become thoroughly dry, with their ends
to the street, and having massive doors
and windows. If the wind is blowing,
it is impossible to stop the raging Of the
flames. During the last few years, half
Of the capital has thus several times
been turned into wilderness. 1t is at
these times the Government undertakes
to widen the streets and introduce other
foreign improvements.
Some years ago the Government built
up section Of the city of nearly a
square mile with tasteful foreign houses,
opening wide streets, and planting rows
Of trees, selling them at cost in several
annual installments. 1t took this step
with the hope Of inducing the people to
build up the city in foreign style.
A River
runs through the city. This is spanned
by long, low bridges. As there is wide
street on either side, it is fine place for
the display Of fireworks. Riding up to
one Of the bridges, we happened acct
dentally to see the Mikado returning
from country tour. He was riding on
fine horse, with knee-boots, tight jacket,
and sailors cap (undress uniform) lit

perfect as it may be. by the charge that
the tendency of such expression is inju-
rious. The tendency of such a charge is
to put stop to all improvement, and
the doctrine underlying it is intallibility.

After crossing Twenty Mile" we fol-
lowed the general direction of New River
for some miles, getting glimpses Of its
blue waters from time to time. Noon
brought us to gentleman house located
on tract of land known as "Morris's"
in Border warfare" Here it is believed
the last tragedy was enacted in Indian
brutality in Virginia. Two daughters of
Mr.. Morris went to the spring for water.
Their father was from home at the time
they left the house, but returning soon
after, he heard his daughters scream.
Snatching his rifle he ran in the direction
whence the screams emanated, bat alas
it was too late. Some Indians had way
laid the girls and fred on them. They
both fell dead Their father pursued the
murderous wretches a short distance. but
they concealed themselves in the dense
thickets and it was impossible for him to
