Semi -Centennia1 Sermon of Rev.
Theodorick Pryor, D. D.

.. o.
of November, 1882, at Shiloh church,
Nottoway county, Va, large congrega-
tion assembled to commemorate the 50th
anniversary of the ordination of Rev. T.
Pryor, D. D. All denominations were
represented.
On the third Sabbath of November
1882, the Presbytery of East Hanover
was in session at Shiloh church, and, by
prayer and the laying on of hands, set
apart DIR. Pryor to the full work of the
ministry. Where his work began, there
it will probably end.
The sermon on the occasion was from
Psalm lxxxvii: 8, "Glorious things are
spoken of thee, o city of God" After
developing the nature and characters
tics of the Church of Christ, he humbly
thanked God that he had been counted
worthy to be put into the ministry, and
that such a measure of success had been
given to his work by the great Head of
the Church
A few facts may interest your readers.
l. Of the ordaining Presbytery only
one remains-the venerable Dr. Robert
Burwell, of Raleigh, N. @. Of the whole
Presbytery not one remains in its bounds
who was then connected with it. Of the
fifty years of his ministry only one year
has been spent without the bounds of
East Hanover Presbytery, and only six
teen years out of Nottoway county OF
those present at his ordination not one
remains in the community. OF those who
were members of the Nottoway church at
the time, only three survive. But while
so many have been passing away, God
has granted unto his servant unusual
health and vigor of body. Verging on
four-score years, his memory recalls only
one failure to preach in consequence of
ill-health. May his bow abide in strength,
and his eye not grow dim, nor his
strength be diminished
2. His labors have been abundant and
successful. With a sound mind in
sound body; with heart burning with
love to souls; with a zeal for God that
knows no abatement, he is ever ready to
work for Christ.
Such a ministry, by the grace of God,
has been fruitful. Not only within the
bounds of his own church, but elsewhere,
his labors have been attended with the
manifest tokens of Gods gracious Spirit.
Not less than 500 have been brought to
Christ, through his instrumentality.
In closing his remarks the venerable
man of God, under deep emotion, warned
those who had so long attended his min
istry, to heed the admonitions of Gods
word. "He had, both by example and
precept endeavored to guide them in the
way of life" In the course of nature
his work among them would soon close,
and they would part to meet no more un-
til the judgment. With all the fervor
of his soul he prayed that they might
stand at the right hand of the Judge and
enter with him into the kingdom of his
glory, and know from sweet experience
what God has prepared for them that
love him"
1t was a pleasure and privilege to
take part in honoring one whom God has
so honored, and who is the only member
of East Hanover Presbytery that was
connected with it at the ordination of the
writer. I'D. D.

PENMAENMAwR, Nov. H. 1882.
Messr8. Editors,-At the approach of
winter am led to fulfil my long cher
ished intention of sending you letter
There was perhaps the less necessity for
doing so while DR.. Southall was in Eu-
rope, to watch that we did not 90 far
wrong. AS he has returned, will gather
up few "reminiscences from the past and
communicate them to your readers.
The British Association.
AS you are aware, the meeting Of the
ampton at the close of August. Pro
fessor Boyd Dawkins gave an address in
the Geological Section, in which he made
good many unqualified assertions. His
subject was "The present phase of the
Antiquity of Man, and he took the
river-drift man as though this were a
distinct species as the earliest type of
mankind. He was pleased to admit the
probability of mankind having sprung
from common centre, "the garden of
Eden of Biblical tradition, and to as
sumo that mans dispersal took place be-
fore the glacial submergence and the
lowering of the temperature in Northern
Asia and America. He felt inclined to
view the river-drift man as having in
Vaded Europe in pre-glacial times, along
with the other living species which then
appeared 1t would naturally be asked,
he said, to what race the river-drift man
could be referred. The question in his
opinion could not be answered in the
present stage of the inquiry because a
r r. L. { L !
along with the implements were too i'm
perfect to afford any clue. Nor could
we measure the interval in terms of
years, which separated the river-drift
man from the present day, either by as
suming that the glacial period was due
to astronomical causes, and then proceed
ing to calculate the time necessary for
them to produce the result, or by an ap-
peal to the erosion of valleys or the re-
PROCESSION of waterfalls. The interval
must, however, have been very great to
allow Of the changes in geography and
climate and the distribution of animals
which had taken place, and the sue
cession of races and the development of
civilisation before history began. In the
judgment of Prof. Dawkins 1.-THE cave
man is the immediate successor of "the
river-drift man existing in higher
stage Of the hunter civilisation. The
identity of implements found in Europe.
India, and America points, according to
him, to q prjmeUaJ condition of suvagerv,
from which mankind emerged IN the long
ages which separated it from our own
time. He has not condescended, in sup
port Of this delivery" to oblige us with
a para4Eel instance Of any savage race
performing a similar feat Of emergence"
within recent times 1t is enough that
his theory Of evolution demands this as
sumption. I have been induced to give
Prof. Dawkins' views very freely, be-
cause l know, Messrs. Editors, that his
pretty admixture Of facts and hypothesis
may be safely left in your hands. Oddly
enough the reason advanced by him for
not assigning the beginning Of mans ex-
istence to the miocene or even the plio.
Gene epoch Of The Tertiary period, is
that man would in such case in the
long course Of ages have developed into
something else

Famine Relief.

Mr.. Bartlett, American missionary at Talas,
city near Cesarea, in Asia Minor, writes I'M
der date of April 10, confirming the worst re-
ports of the famine in that region. From one-
half to three-fourths Of the people in many vii
lagos, are already destitute, and there are yet
three months to the harvest. AT Dendil, which
L have just visited, out of 1870 families, so are
reported as in absolute want already. At Boor-
han, out of 70 families, 30 are in want of daily
bread. visited some eight or ten houses OF the
poor in Dendil. and found evidences of very
sad restitution, scarcely an article worth dol
lar to be found, and absolutely no store of food
even for another day. In three or four OF these
houses, the morning meal was either in prepar-
alton or was being eaten by the family, and
consisted simply of a kind Of weed, used for
greens, with a slight sprinkling of cracked
wheat boiled together, forming a sort of soup
or porridge, and was eaten without bread or
any other kind of food. This is now the COM
mon food of large class of people. The weeds
are gathered from the fields, but the difficulty
is to find other ingredients. If friends in Amer
lea have heart and means to grant some aid
to these sufferers, many lives may be saved.
We know not where to look for aid but to
friends abroad"

THE effect of the strike Of the coal miners
in the Wyoming region, Pa. has extended
to the Northumberland district, and there
are indications that a gigantic stroke en-
bracing as many as 10000 miners will take
place on the 1st of June. A correspondent
of the New York Evening Post wrote on
Monday from Sunbury:
That prolonged and serious struggle is soon
to be inaugurated between the capitalists and
workingmen is generally admitted in the best
informed circles. The miners have fully de-
termined that the colored laborers brought into
the region to usuap their places must go, and
the latter, if not removed by the operators, will
become the objects of Molly Mcguire hatred,
and bloodshed must be inevitable. The opera
tors business people, and the citizens general.
Nv understand Tho Situation thoroughly and
have prepared themselves for any emergency
that may arise. Twelve thousand miners are
now holding out in the bituminous coalt1elds
This is independent of the 5000 strikers In the
Cumberland region, and the $500 anthracite
malcontents. From private sources it is learned
that the miners strike in Indiana and north
ern Ohio spread to every mining centre OF
those regions, and there is lively prospecs OF
q conflict between the constabulary and the
strikers

The Condition of the South

The New York Times has collected from
different sections of the country the most ac-
curate accounts of the state of business that it
was possible to secure, and in its review of the
important work speaks as follows of the i'm
proved condition of the South Throughout a
large part of the South there is an improve
ment reported in the sale of fertilizers, agricul-
tural machinery and, with this, tendency to-
ward more frequent purchases, more moderate
use of credit, and generally more business-like
methods There is also decided advance in
the local manufactures not only in extent, but
in variety. The leaven of liberty, of free labor
and free competition, is doing its work. The
freedman is becoming many times more valua-
BILE as producer and consumer than the slave
was as an unpaid laborer. The fact is full of
profoundly hopeful meaning. The contrast be-
tween the Virginia one of whose principal in
dustries was slave breeding and the Virginia
which is sending her manufactures and machi-
merry into all the sea-beasa- States f-the South
is which speaks volumes for the Perma-
nent prosperity of the whole land.

THEM STEERS: When Gov. Plaisted says
'no trades" "no bargains he and every
body else knows there is already 'trade
and a bargain for union ticket for the rest
of the Offices The "Greenbackers' who
are put on the ticket will be just as eager
for Democratic votes as Gov. Plaisted is for
Greenback votes. He is dead sure to get
every Democratic vote from Kittery to
Quoddy Head. The old Democratic leaders
who have been sobered by twenty years de-
feat now seem to be rejuvenated and are
working and scheming, with the vigor of
youth, because they see a chance to elect a
Democrat for Governor, and perhaps Dem
ocratic President 10 1884. The Democrats
in Maine have reason to regard the situation
with supreme satisfaction-the head of the
ticket Democrat with Greenback cloak,
the body square Democrat and the tail
"Greenbackers," who have the itch for Of
flee SO bad, if they should happen to be
elected they can't pick themselves out from
Democrats. Honest Greenbackers, stop and
look where you are going. The step you are
asked to take is into the Democratic party.

"Wednesday exening Last the inmates Of

Wednesday evening last the inmates OF the
hotel on Carleton street, St. John, managed by
Elias Taylor, were startled by a terrible crash,
coming from the front of the building by
means of some powerful explosive which had
been placed in the vestibule between the street
and the hall door. Every window in the vest
ibule was smashed to atoms and the entrance
otherwise damaged. Dynamite is supposed to
have been used.
Theopilus R. Marvin, the Oldest printer in
Boston, died in Brookline few days ago. He
was born in Norwich, Ct, in February, 1876.
In 1928 he removed to Boston and established
himself as printer. He was the head of the
firm of T. R. Marvin & Son, printers, at the
time of his death. Mr.. Marvin was of the old
Webster Wing school, and was prominent in
politics for many years.

POLITICS in Texas look brighter for the
republicans than for a long time. The
young democrats under Bourbon rules have
grown restless, and many of them are likely
to vote independently. Though Texas has
the finest school fund in the United States
the democrats persistently refuse to use it,
saying if they do so the negroes will get the
benefit of part of it. With good indepen-
dent candidates the republicans are quite
certain to carry the Congressional districts.

THE Decline Of Mr.. Parnelps influence

THE Decline of Mr.. ParnelPs influence
among the Irish people is by no means
matter to justify merriment among English
men, if it is true that he came from Kill
mainham Jail with sincere purpose to CO.
operate with Mr.. Gladstone for the relief OF
Ireland. If Mr.. O'Donnell succeeds Mr..
Parnell as the Irish leader, it will be no
gain for Englishmen. On the whole, the
split in the Irish delegation in Parliament
yesterday signifed nothing advantageous to
those who seemed most amused by it.
