Alliance, and the Woman's Temperance Union.
Respecting Sabbath observance, the resolution
was adopted that we express our UNQUALIFIED
condemnation of all camp meeting associations
which agree to receive a rebate from Sunday
trains on the railroads. and we urge our people
and preachers to discountenance all camp-meet-
ings that continue such practices
FAIRS AND FEsTIvALs.-At this
same Conference the preacher from the Cumber-
land District reported that q" the brethren are
unanimously of the opinion that the practice of
holding fairs and festivals for the benefit of
churches. which had so generally obtained
among Methodist people, hindered rather than
helped the cause of God. They have therefore
united in urging the people to abandon them,
and use In securing the money necessary for
conducting the Church only such means as have
the approval of the Word of God and the Dis
cipline of the Church. The wisdom of this
course is manifest in the improved spiritual and
financial condition of the churches which have
followed it: AT Kingsley Church, Cumberland
City, 1T had been thought hitherto that fairs and

years these have been abandoned and only the

Home Missions and the Presbyteries

After two years sitting on the matter the
General Assembly's Committee North ap-
pointed to consider the relations of the Board of
Home Missions to the Presbyteries, has formu.
lated the principles and plan of operation which
it will recommend to the Assembly The en-
tire plan relegates the Commissioner for Mis-.
sions to a secondary place, and brings the Pres
byteries to the fore. In other words the Board

the funds committed to them for equitable dis
bursement, and their functions cease here as
the Presbytery appoints the missionary assigns

not to decline an appropriation recommended

thirds vote of the Presbytery being given in
favor, such appointment shall hold notwith.

bility on the Presbyteries. The PRESBYTERIAN
thinks the principles enumerated in this plan
;" are sound Presbyterian principles" That
will be strong recommendation in favor of the
measure when 1t comes up before the Assembly
for discussion. A Presbyterian believes as much
IN Presbyterian principles as he does in his
right to live, and in moments of ennui to SIT
down to a perusal of the Westminster Comics
sion. The Interior, which is alive to the neces-
stiles of the times and doesn't believe in ALWAYS
running the Presbyterian wagon in the old ruts.
heartily approves " 1t seems to us" saws The
Interior, that the general principles of the re
port are wholesome and their enunciation
timely, and we anticipate in the fuller report of
the committee such determinations or modifca-
tons as the necessities of the case may appear
to require" But The Evangelist strikes fire on
the proposition, and, getting warmed up little,
says let us keep cool" The EUdnqelist under
stands that the committee are not agreed among
themselves, and that 4" a minority report will be
presented which will oppose the radical changes
proposed by the committee, and which will re.
commend no departure from the principles, and
no serious departure from the methods, which
have always governed the administration of the

made to the Baptist and Methodist churches
A special feature of this work has been the ac-
tive part taken by some of the members of the
church. A few of them at the beginning were
deeply concerned about the salvation of the
youth, in and out of the Sabbath School, who
were approaching manhood and womanhood
without giving themselves to Jesus Christ.
The course of some of these youth was causing
deep anxiety. They were made the objects not
only of prayer, but also of personal effort.
Those who had most influence with them
privately talked with them about the need of
leading Christian life. These conversations
great good, and were the human agency which
led them to the Saviour.
The Presbyterian church in Millerstown,
Perry county, Pa, under the pastoral care of
the Rev. William HI. Logan, has enjoyed a
precious time of refreshing from the pre-
sence of the Lord At the last communion,
held March 26th, twenty eight persons were
admitted to the membership of the church on
profession of faith, fifteen of whom were bap-
tized, number OF them being heads of families
By this accession the church is greatly strength
ened, and the pastors heart cheered and en-
couraged.
Revival in Lin coln University will
doubtless be interesting to the friends of Lin
coin University to learn that a special interest
of marked character on the subject of religion
now pervades all the classes at that Institution.
The interest began to manifest itself soon after
the death of DR.. Gregory, in an increased degree
of earnestness in prayer, as we'll as a larger at
tendance upon the prayer meetings. Some
three weeks since the Faculty began to hold
special services in the University for the in
struction of those who were inquiring the way
of salvation. Thus far forty-n mine students have
made themselves known as lnquirers Thirty
t1Co have professed faith in Christ, leaving but
thirteen students of the t,Oo hundred now in the
University who have not manifested special
interest in the subject of their personal saliva
ton. There are in the University at this time
eighty students who are candidates for the
gospel ministry. A remarkable record, which
few colleges are permitted to enjoy, and one for
which the friends of Christ ought to be truly
grateful. Lincoln University has in former
years frequently enjoyed the favor of God in
the special manifestations of his Holy Spirit.
But this movement is deeper and more marked
than any heretofore experienced-the entire
body of students, together with the Faculty,
being greatly interested Presbyterian.

irrespective of any mortgage. The
term 'real property" with respect
to the assessment and collection of
taxes, is deemed to include all lands
and town lots, with the buildings,
structures, and other erections on or
affixed to the same.
The above tax of three-quarters of
one per cent. on personal and real
property, is eollectable only upon
property in excess of three hundred
dollars.

lengthy Act ''to consolidate and
amend the law of Taxation" As,
however this act does not take effect
until June 80, 1888, st Is not mat
ter for consideration in view of the
assessment for the present year.
BY law it is made the duty of the
tax assessor to either call personally
upon every Taxpayer, to ascertain
the amount due by him, or else to
give public notice of where such as
SCISSOR may be found for that pur'
pose, 1t is hardly necessary to say
that the latter alternative is the one
almost universally adopted. The
law also provides that if any tax
payer shall have not furnished to the
assessor list of persons residing
with him subject to taxation, and of
any property belonging to him or
them subject to assessment, on or
before the lst day of September,
then the assessor is authorized to
make out Il list according to the best
Of his knowledge, which shall be
binding upon all parties.
In n future issue We intend giving
the results Of an examination into
the actual revenue of the country, to
show who pay these taxes.
