The Planets Of July.


The astronomical editor Of the Providence
Journal says that July will not fall behind the
previous months in objects of exceeding in
terest for those who follow the movements of.
the planetary. wanderers on, the azure arch
that nightly spreads its glittering canopy above
our heads. Saturn and Jupiter will be seen to
withdraw from their close companionship, but
both planets will be in conjunction with Mars,
their quicker pace ontstripping his slower
steps. Venus will reach the end Of the chain
that limits her western path, and, remaining
stationary for few days, seem almost con-
sciously to regret the resistless force that COM
pels her to retrace her steps and subside for a
time into comparative .insignifcance. 3. But,
planets and their brightest phases lose their
lustre and fall into secondary Importance by
the side of the great wonder of the skies that
on the 22d ofJune, suddenly burst forth in the
northern skies, to the delight and establishment
of all beholders The great comet of 1881 will
probably be an object of unweafying interest
throughout the month, lSciehce has advanced
with rapid steps since. a comet Of equal size
has visited our domains. and it will be studied
as comet was never studied before. Scientists
will leave no stone tnturned to learn its histo-
ry, whence it came and whittier it is going,
what it is made of and what is its purpose ii

will, perhaps. find greater enjoyment in be-
holding the magnificent stranger as night after

out its gossamer TAIL regardless hof the stars

no conflicting theories, will confuse their brain ;
and if anything of Importance is discovered,
they will share in the results without taking

ises rich material for, observers of the stars. A
majestic comet wends its way in the north tat

and Saturn, are radiant morning stars. goul:.
we take passage on the retreating comet, what
glorious views might be obtained as we passed
in our rapid passage near those shining worlds,
while the sun grew dim and the giant p lanets
doomed forth with their rings and, moons and
vast dimensions. Our own system might then
be left behind, and the distance spanned from
sun to sun before our course was backward

faint idea of The extent of that -boundless uni
verse from whose confines light issa) million
years reaching mortal reyes. Meantime, to
come back to the little planet on which we
dwell, and which is our observatory while
mortality hedges us in, there are three things
to be grateful tor: that a great comet is paying

Masonry in Old Augusta.

A correspondent of the Central Presbyterian
gives the following extracts from the minutes
of Lexington Pres5ytery, in, 1922;
In consequence of information from the
chair that Mr.. McCue has acted muchi out Of
character by singing in public worship GER
tain hymn OF very erroneous sentiments; and
in joining certain association much to his
prejudice in the opinion OF people in general
and to the offence of the church to which he
belongs so far as the reports have circulated,
The Presbytery viewing the reports as fla
grant, ordered the clerk to write to MI. McCue
and TO cite him to attend at our next stated
meeting in order to inform Presbytery
respecting the truth or falsehood of said
reports" N N
AT the next stated meeting the matter reap
pears as follows: W
"Agreeably to the order of yesterday, Mr.
McCue's affair as stated in the minutes of our
last stated meeting, was taken up and proceed
ed in as follows, viz: @ M
Presbytery inquired of Mr. McCue if the re-
port above referred to was true? To which
he replied it was true; but that he highly dis
approved of the exceptional parts contained
therein, and that he would not have used said
hymn had he been acquainted with it previous
to his entering the pulpit; but the hymn beng
handed to him after the people were seated for
worship, he felt his situation peculiarly embar-
rassed, and concluded that fewer bad conse-
quences would follow from his using the hymn
with an exploitation than from rejecting it in
. the situation in which he then was r., =.
The above acknowledgment, with the rea-
sons for Mr., McCues conduct being heard and
considered; The question was put, is the Pres
bytery satisfied with Mr.. McCue's acknowledge
ment? and the vote was unanimous in affirma-
tive. - i''
Again Mr. McCue was asked if he had Joined
the association referred to in the minutes of
Jour last stated meeting, that is, the Masonic
ibody to which he replied that he had-and
that the reasons were, he viewed it as step
that would open the way and enable him to be
more useful in his office, especially to that Or
der Of men-and notwithstanding as far as he
has yet learned or seen of that institution. he
has met with nothing, in his opinion, immoral
Yet because joining of it had given offence to
Christian brethren he had declined associating
with the Masons as distinct body and was
determined so to do-and that he will endeav-
or to avoid every thing that might give Of
fence to the Church of Jesus Christ OF Chris
tan brethren. .-.,a..t l,.. ~
The above acknowledgement, with the rea.
sons for Mr.. McCues conduct and his proml-
SEES with respect to his future behavior. being
heard and considered, The question was put
Is the Presbytery satisfied with Mr.. McCue's
acknowledgement respecting his past conduct
and bis professions with respect to his resolu-
tions for the future? And the members unan-
inlously voted in the affirmative.
. On,motiOn, Presbytery enjOined on Mr.. Nc
ACue and all their members, in every thing to
be careful SO to conduct themselves that they
may give no just offence to any Of the members
of Christ's Church. -
