DEATH OF Rev. DR.. BoNNER.-Our
esteemed contemporary, the associate
reformed Presbyterian, of South Caro-
lima, comes to us draped in mourning for
the Rev. DR.. j. l. Bonner, its late editor,
who died at Due West on the Goth ult.
DR.. Bonner was also President of the Due
West Female College. He was born in
1922 in Monroe county, Alabama, and
was man of fine scholarship, forcible
and fearless writer, and occupied high
position in the Associate Reformed Church.
The Charleston Nea6s and Courier refers
to him as respected and admired by men
of all classes and parties, devoted to the
State, and as taking an active part in
every movement to improve the for
tunes Of the community in which he
lived" The Rev. w. L. Pressly, Rev.
DIR. w. M. Grier, Rev. 1. N. Young, Rev.
b. l.. Patton, and Rev. DR.. J. Boyce as
sisted at his funeral, and bore strong tes-
timony to his worth and efficiency.

The GENERAL AssEMBLY.-In the Ap-
pendix to the Minutes of the General AS
sembly we find the following preamble
and resolution.
Whereas, The General Assembly of the Pres.
byterian Church in the United States fully
recognizes the efficiency of the prayers of Gods
people, and the necessity for Divine guidance in
Its own deliberations therefore,
Resotued, That the General Assembly re-
commends to all the churches under its care to
offer special prayer during the devotions of the
Sabbath preceding the meeting of the General
Assembly in each year. that God would of great
4 Grey so give the General Assembly the wisdom
that cometh from above, and so direct all its
plans discussions and decisions, as to promote
His own glory and advance the kingdom of
Jesus In the earth.
The Presbyteries have appointed some
OF our wisest and best men to the General
Assembly, and the Church can trust them
with all the confidence that can be re-
posed in human wisdom to deliberate on
the interests of religion but as there is
always danger that there may be plans
that are not wise, discussions which are
not for ediication, and decisions not well
considered and judicious; and as there is
equal if not greater danger that wise
plans may be disturbed and well consid-
cred opinions reversed, how earnestly
ought Gods people to pray that the As
sembly may be guided by the wisdom that
cometh from abovel

5 The ENGLISH, after all, rise to higher
level than any other nation. There IS a
sturdy love of the right at the basis of
the English character-and no foolish
ness of any sort. Their conduct in the
matter of the Transvaal is worthy of all
praise. Smarting under defeat at the
hands of the Beers, Gladstone comes for
ward, and asks, What is our duty =?
There was of course the usual talk on
the part Of. many about what honor re-
CURED them to do in order to wipe out
the disgrace of defeat, but the govern
ment remained firm in its determination
to ascertain what was Just. This is one
OF the greatest victories of modern tim es
the dawn, we hope, of new era in the
policy which will control other nations,
as well as Great Britain, in the future.
We say it was great victory; England
will never regret it if she is the first to
demonstrate that fairness and Justice
at the hands of nation are as i'm.
peratively demanded as on the part of
an individual.

UNION THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY, VA.
We had the privilege of attending the
annual meeting of the Board of Trustees
OF this institution last week. A brief
report of the proceedings, prepared by
the Secretary, will be found on our first
page. The examinations of the students
were very thorough and very satisfactory.
Iwenty-one completed the course of
study, and we presume they all will be
licensed by their Presbyteries.
AT no time in the history of the insti-
tuition has it been in all respects in so
prosperous condition as at present. The
endowments, although by no means as
large as they ought to be, are sufficient
to pay the four professors moderate sal
aries. The finances have been well man
aged, and by wise economy the income
has been made to meet all the expenses.
Some improvements have been made
from year to year, and the buildings and
grounds are becoming more and more
attractive. The new library building is
very complete and handsome structure,
and the library itself is being gradually
enlarged, numbering now something over
IL 900 volumes.
The address of DR.. Murkland, of Bal
timore, before the Society of Religious
Inquiry, was in every way worthy of the
occasion and of the subject which he had
chosen, The Providential Position of the
Church in the World" 1t was delivered
without notes, and was an address of rare
eloquence and power.
DIR. J. L. Kirkpatrick, of Washington
and Lee University, delivered the certif.
Gates to the graduating class, accompany
ing the delivery with an admirable ad-
dress. He was called on to perform this
service in consequence of the unavoidable
absence of Rev. DIR. J. H. Smith Presi-
dent of the Board, and of Rev. F. II.
johnson, who had been appointed to ad-
dress the graduating class.

THE FOLLOWING REMARKS from the
Philadelphia Presbyterian are worthy of
serious attention. We know very little
about the Salvation Army, but we know
this: that in our large cities, as the Pres
6yte7'aar observes, no Protestant church
is now working down to the level of the
utterly abandoned thousands of the de-
PRAYED and semi-depraved masses"
The doctrines preached by the Salvation
Army are, in the main, evangelical Their
methods, to the tastes and habits of Presbyte-
rians, would be Objectionable. But discountinp
the movement by these and other like consid1
erations we believe that these workers are doing
good TO class beyond either the disposition or
possibility Of the churches to reach them. No
Protestant church is now working down to the
level OF the utterly abandoned thousands of the
deprayed and semi. depraved Of our cities. Not
even the Methodists, the great forerunners and
pioneers, are doing it effectively any more.
They are ashamed and distrustful of their old
methods, In many respects so sensuous but so
necessary to reach these depraved and neglected
ones. Our churches are too elegant; and be-
sides, we will not let them stay where the ne
elected are to be found. Just as soon as society
so changes as to touch the mud stills. we remove
them and give the neighborhoods up to heather
ism. Rum, squalor, debauchery, and destitu-
ton now live where once were our miphtiest
churches, and if one Of our ministers is left be.
hind in one Of these destitute places, or is will
ling to work in them, though ne be the peer of
Guthrie, be is cut off from social contact and
feels himself to be out of caste. The Foreign
Missionary is the favorte in the best circles
the Home Missionary, in as great destinations.
is neglected. Such we conceive TO be the facts
What can we do better than encourage this SAL
walton Army to do the work which all others
have abandoned

IT WILL be seen by card published
elsewhere that we were in error in our
impression that there has been no regular
preaching at the Penitentiary. We are
happy to correct our mistake. Mr. David
A. Brown, licensed exhorter of the
Methodist Church, breaches in the chapel
every Sunday morning, and is always
glad to have the cooperation Of the evan
gelical ministers of the city.

1T APPEARS to us that more impression
Is being made on the Jews by our mis-
sionaries than has been the case in the
past. We observe in the Missionary
Herald for May a very interesting &C
count from the Agent of the British and
Foreign Bible Society in Persia of work
In progress at Hamadan. In 1875 Hez-
klel Hymn, son of very rich Jew at
this place, was led to the conviction that
the Messiah must have come and suffered
while the second temple was standing.
With another young man, who had been
similarly impressed, he got New Tesla
ment and they both became firm believers
in Jesus of Nazareth. They at once COM
menced proclaiming their views and rea-
soning in the synagogues They were
soon joined by two brothers, physicians
of high social standing, named Eliyahu,
and by others. They have all been sub
Jected to great prosecutions, which they
have endured with great resolution. Ac-
cording to the agent of the Bible Socie'y
there are now forty men and fifteen wo-
men in Hamadan who profess their faith
in Christ, besides others who believe in
secret. The remarkable point about the
matter is that the place has been visited
but once by any American or European
missionary, and then only for a week.
A recent letter from one of the mission
aries of the American Presbyterian Board
in Persia states that three hundred Jews
are believed to be converted.
