PEACE HESTOPEn

We are quite sure that there will be a
general feeling of relief throughout the
Church that at last the unseemly and
unhappy attitude which the Northern
and Southern Presbyterians have main
tanned towards each other for nearly
twenty years has at last been abandoned.
Once more the two great Presbyterian
bodies of the land, one in faith. one in
the same elevated and earnest devotion
to common system Of doctrine, have
buried the irritations of the past, and re-
sumed those relations of brotherhood
which have been too long unrecognised.
The war has been long over, the country
is again one, and likely to remain one,
and it was particularly unfortunate that
two great religious bodies, once an co.
ganic unity, should continue to represent
in the eyes of the public the animosities
of that period.
We shall not now reopen the past by
any complaints as to who was right and
who was wrong. Words are spoken in
the bitterness of civil strife that would
not be spoken in the calm hour of peace.
1t is hard for individuals-it is more diff
cult for assemblies ofmen--to confess error
Let us put all these things behind us, and
let it be the part in future of Presbyte-
rians North and Presbyterians South to
show to the world how these Christians
love one another"
The restoration of these relations be-
tween the churches is not of course or
ganic unity, which is a question entirely
apart; but it will greatly conduce to the
furtherance of the common work in which
both branches of the Church are engaged
throughout the country.
The settlement of this question is
alone good job of work for this Assem-
bly,, and who can but admire the part
which DR.. William Brown played in the
matter?

The SUNDAY SoHooI. LESSON CLASS
at fremont Temple in Boston, we sup
pose, is the largest Bible class in the
world. Think Of Bible class of 1000
persons And what is yet more remark
able all these persons assemble on Satur-
day afternoon. The place of meeting has
been changed again and again until Ire
mont Temple had to be secured to accom-
modate the crowds. The teacher is Mr..
Meredith, formerly Methodist, now
Congregationalist and pastor of the Phil
lips church, South Boston. He is de-
scribed as having special talent for
Bible exposition and Bible teaching.
And yet there are persons who suppose
that Boston is sort of heather city.

DIR. ABBOTT, in the Christian Union,
says; 81 Judge that English students are
not more devotional than their American
contemporaries. 1 dropped into the
chapel of Christ Church College, which
is the Cathedral of Oxford. There were
twenty-three white-robed ecclesiastics
and choir boys to conduct the services,
with two black-robed vergers as servitors;
and there was total congregation of
seventeen men and women and three
small boys The music was exquisite ;
the organ-playing fine; and one boy had
voice like an angel's-thati is, like what
imagine an angels might be. But, save
one lady in black, who looked as though
some great sorrow had brought her to the
Cathedral service for comfort, and one
weak-eyed and w.roofed young man,
who bowed very reVerently at nothing
whatever on the distant altar when he
came in and when he went out again, l
saw no sign whatever of reverence in the
somewhat small knot Of supposed wor-
shippers, furnished by this city of $4,000
inhabitants and University of $500 stu
dents.

THERE seems to be considerable activ-

were 81, 796 volumes (the whole or parts
OF the Bible) circulated, of which 1926
were sold to the Turks. This work was
done by the British and Foreign Bible
Society ESQ deprecated by the London
Times and the American Bible Society.
The former distributed 1850 copies,
the latter 43, 146.

THE RELIGIOUS TRACT SOCIETY of
London held its annual anniversary meet
ing, as usual, last month, in Exeter Hall.
The grand total of the Societys income
last year was in round numbers $1,000
900.
The chairman, Sir J. Risdon Bennett,
said in his remarks that he thought the
success that had followed the Society was
largely due to the prayerful spirit in
which it was founded and has been car
ried on. The need of such a society.
the speaker went on to observe, is
greater than ever. There is large in
crease of pernicious literature, especially
among the lowest classes, and we must
do our best to beat it out of the field.
The records Of their work showed that
Gods blessing had been manifestly shown
in distinct conversions through the tracts
and other publications; and this, of
course, was the supreme aim Of all their
work

WE learn from the associate Reformed
Presbyterian, published at Due West,
South Carolina, that the failure of the
recent negotiations for the union of the
Associate Reformed Church South and
the United Presbyterian Church was
owing to two difficulties. The first was
that the United Presbyterian Church re-
quired the Associate Reformed Church to
adopt its article declaring slavery under
any and all circumstances to be sinful;
the second point was that the Associate
Reformed Church adheres to its exclusion
Of musical instruments in public worship,
while the United Presbyterians have lust
voted to allow the use of them.

TIE following from the Spectator is,

We think, TIE truth about Darwin:
Though we cannot see in Mr.. Darwin think
er nearly so great in the region of psychology as
we do in the region of natural history, and
though we regret the apparent deficiency in his
mind on the side of the supernatural, we fully
recognize the theistic character of his general
view of the Universe. That Mr. Darwin had
no place in his theory of the universe for
special Providence, or for individual relations
between man and God we are aware; but that
he regarded the creative force as originally ma
terlal' and not intellectual, we wholly deny. 1t
works that for him, the origin of Nature Is in
Mind, and not the origin of Mind in Nature
