More Preachers.

| am glad to see the question of allow
ing men to preach, who are unable to
take course at the Seminary, is agi-
tating the mind of our Church some
what. There are many men, suppose.
within the bounds Of our Southern
Church, who would gladly enter upon
the work of preaching the gospel, if al
lowed to do so without taking course
at the Seminary Men who know the
plan of salvation and are able to teach
it to others, who are willing to go to
fields now barren and uncultivated, save
by the agents of the wicked one sowing
tares where no wheat is growing. Why
should not we occupy territory and build
up our Church as well as for other de-
nominations to do it with teachers, per-
haps no better than ours would be, thus
sent out. l know it is said with much
truth, man with sharp axe can do
more work than he can with dull one
but suppose he has no grindstone and
cant get the use of a neighbours, must he
for this reason not use his dull axe, but
sit still and suffer by reason of the cold?
No, let him lay on but the harder and
the additional exercise will warm him up
the more.
don't mean by this that we should
alter the standard laid down by Paul
when he SAID. to Timothy: "And the
many witnesses, the same commit thou
to faithful men, who shall be able to
teach others also" and again in 1st
Timothy iii 2-7 inclusive: CA bishop
then must be blameless, &c., apt to teach. .
Now what amount of learning is neces-
sary to make man, liable to teach is the
question to be considered. Is it neces-
sary that he should be able to translate
the Bible from the Hebrew and Greek
into English, or would thorough knowl-
edge of the Bible as now translated be
sufficient?
Is it fact that our ablest theologians
are always best suited to teach an or
binary congregation? And have their
labors as pastors and evangelists been
more successful than those of men o.!
much less ability The degree of min
isters usefulness is not always in pro
portion to his learning ALIQUIs.

A Law in One Word.

The law that God has given as our
guide in life may be expressed in a sin
gle word. 1t is all comprehended in
the brief xpression-Love Love toward
God and love toward our fellow-man is
all that is required to fulfill it. Moth
ing more, if only it be a perfect love. 1t
may be easily seen that in this way the
requirements of each commandment in
the Decalogue may be met. If we loved
God with that deep and unfeigned affec-
ton He has a right to demand, no object
of alteration could come between us and
Him, thus we would, obey the first com
mandment. The same love would i'm
pei us to worship Him only in the way
which He had declared acceptable, and
thus love would secure obedience to the
second. If we loved Him with perfect
love, it would preclude any disposition
to treat His name with iIreverence, and
the third would never be violated. A
proper love for one king would make us
willing to devote at least one-seventh. OF
our time exclusively to His worship. 1t
would not be irksome, if only we loved
Him as we should
The same principle applies to those
commandments that relate to our duty
to our fellow-man. If we loved every
human being, that love would prompt
obedience to parents, would render Us
sufficiently careful to preserve the life
and chastity Of our neighbor If we
loved him as we loved ourselves, We
should be as careful to secure the in
crease OF his wealth as our own, mol
should we covet his possessions. 1t ii
scarcely necessary to add that we do no
bear false witness against those whom
we really love. The whole law then il
fulfilled by love-love to God and low
to man. To this agree the words Of ou
Saviour Thou shalt love the Lord thy

following:
Zone, or more, was absent who would
have voted against the paper. 1t was
virtually rejected by majority Of two
to one" -
Then follows the explanation of the
vote on the majority report, about which,
after the statement that it was adopted
by bare majority, we have this:
" 1t was manifest that as many, or
nearly as many, were in favor of the AS
sembly's action as had voted against the
resolutions condemning it. Several OF
these however did not think it expedient
to say so. They voted against the reso-
luton, not because they were opposed to
its spirit, but because they thought the
Presbytery should not interfere with the
Assembly's action in any way"
Now compare this theory with ms
He accounts for the difference in the
two votes by the absence of two mem
bers from the house, two votes under
misapprehension, and one cast against
the voters conviction from consideration
for his brethren on the other side,
while the Ne,Os tells us that all these re-
Trained from voting on the ground of ex-
pediency. Which witness must the pub
lie believe? Is it just to the Presbyte-
ry to tamper with It's deliberate and re-
corded decision by theories, speculations
and differences, and thus place it in an
attitude of uncertainty before the world !?

God with all thy heart, and with all thy
soul, and with all thy mind This is
the first and great commandment. And
the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love
thy neighbor as myself. On these tho
commandments hang all the la,O and the
prophets. Paul emphasized the same
truth: cove no man anything but to
love one another: for he that loveth
another hath fulfilled the law. For this
thou shalt not commit adultery, thou
shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal thou
shalt not bear false witness, thou shalt
not covet; and If there be any other COM
mdndment, ii is briefly comprehended an
this saying, namely: Thou shalt. LOVE
thy meighbor as thysetf" The last CON-
mandment that Christ gave to his disci-
pies before His crucifxion was that they
should love one another.
From this it follows that all our vol
untary acts should be prompted by love.
We have no right to make our own CON-
fort or pleasure the only motive in what
we do. Every human being has claim
upon US. We are bound TO use every
lawful means to add to the quantum of
human happiness 1t is not the custom
of the world to be concerned about the
welfare of those beyond the limits of a
very narrow circle, but aOe are not of the
toorld. God teaches us that we must re-
gard our neighbor's welfare as we regard
our own, and that every one to whom
we can do good is our neighbor. The
utter disregard that so many protesting
Christians have for the welfare of the
race is inconsistent with their calling.
God requires us to love those whom He
has condescended to love.
FIVE have not this love, it is an evil
denee that we are not his children.
" Hereby we know that we have passed
from death unto life, because ,Oe lore the
brethren" He that loveth not, know
eth not God" For he that loveth not
his brother whom he hath seen, how can
he love God whom he hath not seen?'
