IN that it subordinates the civil jurisdic-
tion of the sovef8gn Commonwealth to
the dictionS of the spiritual court; and
that touching the very secularities which
belong exclusively to the jurisdiction OF
the Commonwealth. And every calm
Presbyterian can see that this is not DIR,
Dabney's blind prejudice, but plain
truth.
Messrs. Editors, my mere curiosity is
very calmly awakened to know what
sort of inward impulse it is that prompts
a good Southern Presbyterian to voluA-
teer the attempt to whitewash this pc

Cause of Education.

To the Chairmen Of Education, DO
not forget that formal application for
aid for students must be made every
year, specifying the amount needed, and
the institution in which the student will
pursue his course. Some brethren have
been prompt in asking immediate remit
tances from others we have heard moth
ing. This may be embarrassing to stu
dents. l know. it is to one who is on his
way to the seminary. Our great desire
is that not one single worthy student
should be hindered in his course.
The Committee is anxious to do all it
can to promote the efficiency of this
work. We earnestly request the Chair
men OF Education and all other brethren
IN the ministry to let this subject have
special attention in the coming meetings
of Presbyteries.
Men, men, co1aSecrated men, is what
our beloved Church needs above every
thing. Give us sufficient number Of
devoted me, and believe all disturbing
questions will soon vanish and our beloved
Zion will rapidly "lengthen her cords
and strengthen her stakes"
1t is two months yet before our annual
collection. Lest our funds should be ex-
hausted, let me ask Individual friends of
this cause to send in their contributions
now. E. M. RICHARDSON,
Secretary of Education.

Mr.. MOODY IN Scorr NJ

Mr.. MOODY IN SCoTLAND-The
Belfast Witness of August 25th, SAYS Mr..
Moody has brought his labors to a close after
campaign extending over nine months. during
which he preached In almost all the great cities
IN Scotland, and in some of the islands. He
seems to have lost none of his wondrous mower
OF drawing and impressing audiences. His won
dertul energy is only equalled by his earnest
ness and faith He often preached twice day.
and never seemed to weary or be dull. He an
pears to have reused deep interest in religions
things IN Scotland but of the measure of GOOD
only the great day will reveal. Mr. Moody
goes for month to the Continent, and on his
return will open campaign in Wales.
The reporter of the Christian Iondop) in
concluding his account of Mr. Moody's visit
says The very last evening in Scotland of this
nine months campaign came at length. and il
cannot be said that Mr. Moody did not make
the most of it. He spoke to denselv crowded
meeting Of women only, who met in the GEORGE
street Free Church at six o'clock barely an
hour after the Conference had closed His mart
ing message to those who were not far from Tho
Kingdom was inexpressibly solemn and moving
The after meeting was held in the Free Church
which had been scarcely vacated by the women
and again the building was the scene of roncb
earnest soul dealing, and l trust, soul.decision
Having closed day, memorable not oplv in
ITSELF but in the fact that it terminated AN
evangelistlc campaign that will not be FORGOTTEN
while Scotland stands, Mr.. Moody quietly re-.

RICHMOND VA, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13 1882.

anxieties which, since the Supreme Court
decision, have filled the minds of great
many plain people in regard to the
property rights Of the Southern Church,
are altogether groundless. Does not the
decision of the Supreme Court OF the
United States make the tenure by which
nearly all the property of the Southern
Church is held, depend on the mercy or
the forbearance of the Northern Church ?
If so, then here is an argument for fra
ternal relations, which, those who wish
to use it, may have gratis.
Of course, it will be said, that the South
ought to submit to any and every right
eous decision of the courts of the land, no
matter what the consequences may be.
Yes, we reply, but it is not surprising if
we doubt the soundness and Justice Of a
decision, by virtue of which, property
which we kpao10 to be ours, may be wrest-
ed from us. But however this may be,
the article of R. R. H." does not deserve
the less condemnation. For in it he has,
on the bare presumption of DIR. Dabney s
ignorance of a purely legal point, at
tempted to hold up the whole of his argu-
ment as darkly and fatally erroneous.
DR.. Dabney is fully able to take care of
himself. But such a violation of the
principles of fair discussion deserves some
such rebuke as have attempted to give
it. FAIR PLAY.

Of another evangelist. Our brother

an evangelist, but the field is too large

OF that county is ar ar)usod rs mover be-
fore from the dobasing practice of Pagan
rites and lpcrstitions, and tho old bar

years, seem ready to give way before
the march of al enlightened and liberal
spirit. Some Of the reforms initiated
are: "A complete abolition Of all caste

OF polygamy, the breaking down of GUS
