still further instructed to increase the contrlbu-
tons to his support by such services as the PEG
pie to whom he may preach in destitute places

RESOLVED, 3rd. That the Committee of Sustenta

ments with Revs. E. McNair, Roger Martin,
J. II. Coble, and A. N. Ferguson and their
congregations as shall supply the church at

that they be instructed to supplement the amount
which this church may raise, so as to pay these
ministers $40 for each trip.
ReSOLUed, 4th. That the Committee of Susten-
tatlon be instructed to use such means as NAV
be advisable to bring the church at Rockingham
up to the measure of its duty in supporting the

was to be thorough-going and extensive,
and not casual or sporadic; and on the
further assumption that the authority
was to be conceded to the revisers to at
tempt radical reformation of the text.
The two points involved in these assump-
tons were reserved for subsequent con-
sideration. The second Of the funda-
mental questions was, Have they faith
fully adhered to their rules? This ques-
ton branches into two: Have they fol-
lowed their rules as to the text, and have
they followed their rules as to the trans
lation? The question, also, may be con-
sidered in both respects as either partic-
ular or general. The examination into
the particulars has now been concluded
or very nearly concluded. The inquiry
into the general merits or dement's of the
revision is presently to be entered upon.
In treating of the particulars, the inter
rogations have been made to cover more
than the single point of adherence to the
rules. For the sake of convenience the
specific amendments proposed have been
Judged not only as conforming or not con-
forming to the reviser's own standard,
but also as conforming or not conform
ing to the standard of accurate scholar
ship and roundabout good sense. -
Looked at in that light, the particular
changes in the readings and in the rem
behring's of the Authorized Version were
variously estimated. Many were ad-
mitted to be improvements: some at
least were animadverted upon as ill-ad-
vised. Coming now to generals, the
textual difference between the two YER
sions, viewed as a whole, is of such a
nature that the palm on that score should
very likely be given to that of the re-
visers. This at all events may be con-
coded for the sake of argument. The
difference between the two versions re-
garded simply as translations, and viewed
in the same broad manner, at once brings
us to the matter of STYLE This should
be preceded by certain remarks on the
alleged doctrinal conflict between the
two competing exhibitions of the New
Testament in English and should be
followed by brief discussion of the two
principal reserved questions, viz: as to
the propriety of wholesale changes, on
the part of the reUiSers, in the Tertu8 Re
ceptuS; and as to the expediency of very
extensive rather than very limited emen-
dations of the consecrated English. This
will bring US to the summing up, and
then-the Verdict.

Fanny Kemble on the Bible anc
the Theatre.

Fanny Kemble is justly distinguished
as one OF the great tragic actresses Of
modern times. Her talent, acknowl-
edged on both sides of the Atlantic, has
won for her fame and fortune. In ad-
dition to this great success, she has the
still higher honor Of a name without re-
proach. The highest virtues of private
life adorn her character with lustre
which her profession did not dim.
When she was eleven years of age she
was sent from London to a boarding
school in Paris. OF her requirements at
this institution she says: 1.-THE pupils
were required to learn by heart, and re-
cite morning and evening, selections from
the Scriptures. To me my intimate
knowledge of the Bible has always
seemed the greatest benefit 1 derived
from my school-training." AS she was
Thoroughly educated and trained to be a
brilliant ornament of the highest circles
of society, to be the companion of the
poet Rogers in his old age, Sydney
Smith, Macaulay, Lord Grey, Disraeli,
Washington Irving, and all the wits Of
two generations, it is certain that her
education was not imperfect. She studied
the French poets and committed to
memory passages from Corneille and
Racine, while Shakespeare, Milton, and
Walter Scott, in her own tongue, were
hel familiar reading. But she puts into
writing and prints it in the Records Of
her Life that her intimate knowledge
Of the Bible was the greatest benefit she
derived from her school-traininp. This
is very extraordinary statement, com
ing from one whose pursuits and associa-
tions were such as do not appear to re-
quire familiarity with the Scriptures to
promote enjoyment or success. Ger
tainly, we are not accustomed to suppose
that actors and actresses and the people
in whose society they mingle and shine,
draw very largely on the pages Of God Is
word as the sources Of their wit or wis
dom, or for examples and illustrations.
1t could not be that Miss Kemble at
tributed her success in the profession to

Resolutions Adopted by the Pres

Mes8rS. EdjtorS,-Please publish in
your paper the following important paper
adopted by the Presbytery of Fayette-
vile, at the adjourned meeting held at
Asheville, N. O., September 18th, 1882 :
The matter Of Evangelistic Work laid
over to this meeting, was taken up, when
the following paper was adopted, viz:
Whereas, The work Of exploring our
destitute or unoccupied territory within
the bounds of Fayetteville Presbytery
has been measurably done by regularly

Collection for Education.

The first Sabbath of November, or as
soon thereafter as practicable, the col
lection for Education should be taken,
according to the appointment of the AS
sembly. May 1T not be considered as
settled, that the Church is bound to give
assistance to every young man who needs
it, has been endorsed by his Presbytery,
and is assiduously devoting himselft to the
work Of preparation for the gospel min
istry? But this assistance will be GER
tainly given only by every church taking
a collection for this cause. If one church
waits for, and depends upon another,
more than half our churches may give
nothing. If this should be the case, how
can we expect the Lord of the harvest to
bless us with an increase Of laborers Z?
We appeal, therefore, 10 every brother
in the ministry to send us contribution
to this cause. And we@sk the chairmen
OF Education especially to consider what
the last Assembly has said, viz: Especial
responsibility for increasing contributions
to this cause, and for diffusing an inter-
est in it, rests upon the chairmen of Pres
byterial committees of Education" The
Committee would also request our pas
tors to talk to their Sabbath Schools
about the need Of more laborers and the
privilege and duty of helping those who
are now preparing for the work, and let
each pastor ask his Sabbath School to
take up at least one collection for this
cause during the year. For the sake of
worthy and needy students, for the sake
of the Church honor, for the sake of the
advancement of her work, for the sake
of the honor and glory of Christ, we ask
all our churches to do their duty by this
cause. And are there not many indi-
viduals who will send us their contribu-
tons to help these young men prepare
themselves for their life-work

Come Near Them.

To make the acquaintance of his peo-
pie clergyman must go to their homes,
see the family where the family lives,
and converse with them in the freedom
Of their own homes. He may sys-
tematise this work-make it more or less
formal; prepare the people beforehand
or not; conduct devotional exercises in
the family uniformly or not; but he
ought always to gain from going to the
homes Of the people. Let him try on the
individuals the generalities he delivers
from the pulpit; learn the varieties Of
habit, mind, character of each of his
charge, and the truth needed by each.
He thus gives himself a chance to form
a liking for the people-not to the con
gregation as pleasant sphere Of labor,
but to individuals as such This pro
cess can be illustrated from the expert
ence Of any pastor.

RICHMOND. VA. Oct. 8

~N@O~ANAS~'Oi
At the regular morning services. of
the First Presbyterian church Sabbath
School, the committee appointed on last
Sabbath, Messrs. E. H. Fitzhugh, R. T.
Brooke, John Boiling, and James Lyons,
Jr., presented the following preamble
and resolutions, which were unanimously
adoptedby rising vote.
The announcement that our beloved
Superintendent, ]. D.. K. Sleight, was
about to remove from Richmond and to
sever his connection with the Sabbath
School of the First Presbyterian church
so long and so usefully maintained by
him, was heard with profound regret by
every scholar and teacher in the school.
He came to this place in 1859, for the
benefit of his health, and united with the
First Presbyterian church. For twenty
three years he has been with us,
teacher or as our Superintendent Ever
since he united with our church, he has
been one of its most active and efficient
members, participating with unwearied
devotion in every department of church
work in which layman could engage
But it was here, in the discharge of every
duty connected with Sunday School
work, whether as teacher or as a SUI
perintendent, that his usefulness has been
most conspicuously displayed.
He leave us to take charge Of an i'm
portant position under the Board of Pub
LEGATION of the Presbyterian Church, and
will make his home in the city of Phila-
delphia.
The teachers and scholars of the Sab
bath School are unwilling to part with
him without giving expressions Of their
affections for him, and their appreciation
Of the long and faithful services he has
rendered during his connection with the
school. Therefore be it
Resolved, l. That the resignation of Mr..
Sleight of the Office of Superintendent of this
school is the subject of profound sorrow to every
scholar aud teacher in it.
RESOLVED, 2. That we bear witness to the
ability, the faithfulness, and the gentle Chris
tian spirit with which Mr.. Sleight has dis
charged the duties of his important office and
to the earnest and constant efforts to promote
the interest. not only of this school, but of the
whole Sunday School work in the city of Rich
mond. And we pray the Great Head of the
Church to raise up one like minded to fill his
place.
ResolUed, 8. That we invoke Gods richest
blessing upon our late Superintendent, and trust
that he may be long spared to labor in a wider
field in his new home with all, and more than
all, the success with which he has labored here
and that he may win the confidence and love of
those among whom his lot may be cast in even
greater degree than that with which his faith
tul and efficient services and his gentle and low
ing spirit have inspired in us.
ReSoy0ed, 4. That committee be appointed
to procure suitable testimonial to be presented
to Mr.. Sleight a token of our esteem and
memento Of his connection with our school.

Fulness of Blessing.

No lack in Him, " in whom all fulness dwells !"
Oh, music sweet like chime of evening bells
All fulness IS in Him, and all for US,
Oh, wondrous grace that He hath loved us thus,
AS to provide in Christ for all our need
Oh, this is JOY unspeakabie indeed.
His precious blood to cleanse from every sin,
Himself foreign our hayward hearts within;
His perfect righteousness our souls to clothe,
His power to crush in us the sins we loathe,
Taught by his Spirit or we'd love them still;
Q Lord, accomplish in us all thy will
Oh. empty us of self, the world, and sin,
And then in all thy fulness enter in;
Take full possession Lord, and let each thought
Into obedience unto Thee be brought;
Thine is the power, and thine the will, that we
Be wholly sanctifedi o Lord, to Thee
Accomplish all Thy will again we pray,
Work in us nightly from day to day;
Take full possession Lord; we yield the whole :;
Oh, sanctify our body, spirit soul;
Oh, shed thy light within, that we may be
As shining lights in this dark world for Thee
Forgive the past yea Lord, Thou dost forgive;
Henceforth for Thee alone we lorg to live;
Constrained by love we yield ourselves to Thee,
Thy love, dear Lord has won the victory;
Kept by thy grace, upholden by thy power,
Enable us to serve Thee hour by hour.
And when we see Thee in the realms above,
How much we'll praise Thee for thy wondrous
love;
Adoring, fall at thy beloved feet,
Adoring, raise our eyes, thine eyes to meet
Worthy the Lamb" for ever we shall sing,
All praise to Thee, our Lord, Redeemer, King.
