1t will be seen that perfectly safe invest
ment is thus offered, with adequate security,
even without considering the guarantee of a
sinking fund given by the Assembly; but with
that there can be no question of the complete
safety of the loan.
The plan herein set forth offers almost tie
only scheme that promises success of placing at
an early day, our Publication work upon a firm
foundation. Our people are asked, not to give,
but to loan, with safe security, the amount
needed.
In order that these bonds may be placed with
the smallest possible expense this statement,
with subscription list attached, is placed in
the hands of our ministers and other friends of
the cause, with the earnest request that an ef-
fort be made at once to obtain subscriptions,
and that any that may be obtained be returned
to the undersigned.

lcatlon. JAMES K HAzEN,

ereignty has been maintained long
enough. The jealousy of France is the
difficulty. But France has managed the
matter badly, and allowed herself to be
isolated. Bismarck shrewdly egged Eng
land on, and England at present seems
to have the approval of Germany, Italy,
Austria, and Russia, which last country
has always desired that Egypt should be
coded to England as her share in the par
tition of the dominions of the Turk.
AS yet it is too early to forecast the
future; Gladstone's ministry is timid or
scrupulous, and England may pause with
the restoration of the Khedive. But if
England should really seize Egypt,
events important to the world, and es-
pecially to Christianity, would follow.
We have remarked that the fear of
complications with France constitute a
difficulty in the way of an energetic pol
icy on the party of England. We must
add that there is another most important
consideration which may weigh with the
British premier-the fear of arousing the
whole Moslem population, which might
lead to most serious revolt in India,
where England has forty millions of Mos
lem subjects. But, on the other hand, it
is to be noted that the possession of Egypt
by Great Britain would be of immense
advantage to her in conducting any war
involving the safety of her Indian empire.

LEVEL HEADED BIsHoP.-The churchly
people in the vicinity of Melbourne, Australia
have been getting great surprise and some
practical information from an unexpected source
Their crops being in peril on account of pro
longed drought they asked the bishop of their
diocese for special prayer for rain. But His
Grace said no. he informed his people that all
kinds and conditions of weather were the re-
suits of natural laws which prayer could not be
expected to set aside If the farmers did not
want to lose their crops they should resort, not
to praying, but to digging they should irrigate
their lands with the contents of the streams that
now empty superintendent waters into the
ocean. The farmers are Mortified for, like most
other religious people, they are under the i'm
preston that divine providence exists princi-
Pally for the purpose of preventing the natural
results of human improvidence.-N. Y Herald.
We know nothing about this "level-
headed Bishop" but if he is as ignorant,
as the Herald represents him to be, OF
the connection between divine providence
and the laws Of nature, and of the aim
and efficacy of prayer, the religious peo-
pie of Melbourne might well feel "great
surprise.
Most religious people" have no such
impression about divine providence as
the Herald represents. There is much
of this misrepresentation by those who
ought to know better. What religious
people really do hold is, that "God by
his providence ordereth all things to fall
out according to the nature of second
causes" and that "God in his ordinary
providence maketh use of means"
IT there Is no use in prayer for rain be-
cause the conditions of the weather are
the results of natural laws, the same
would be true of prayer for every bless
ing, seeing that God ordereth all thinqs
according to the nature of second causes. -
Prayer and the use of means are not
antagonistic, as the Herald and its model
Bishop seem to suppose, but coordinate.
Luther said, He that prays best will do
all things best" The great Head and
Bishop of the Church has taught his dis
ciples to say, Give us this day our daily
bread !" and those who wait upon God
will give the more diligence in the use Of
all the means which He has appointed in
the nature Of second causes"
The farmers VINO " irrigate their lands"
are level-headed enough to see that it is
both religious and wise to pray for the
refreshing showers which are sent by
divine providence without setting aside
any natural law.

OFFICE OF EXECUTIVE Con-. OF PUBLICATION
Richmond, Va, June 18th, 1882
Dear BrOther,-The enclosed proposition and
subscription list is sent to you with the hope
that we may have your earnest CO. operation,in
carrying out the work placed in our hands by
the General Assembly.
You will observe that, so far as the great por-
ton of the proposed loan of $4,000 is con-
cerned, it is simply the replacing one mortgage
of S31 900 at per cent for another at per cent,
thereby saving interest enough to provide for
the remaining amount which is needed as
capital.
To remove misgivings that have been ex.
pressed by some, we wish to state that it is no
part of the purpose, either of the General As
sembly or the Executive Committee to enter
upon the manufacture of books, except as that
may be done by contract with practical print.
ers; but it is felt that we must control the dis.
tribution of our literature, and this requires a
limited capital
1t Is very important that this plan should be
carried out with just as little expense as pos
slble. For the Secretary to make such can
vass as would be necessary to place the bonds
would require an expenditure of time and
money that might all be saved, if each of those
to whom the accompanying subscription paper
is sent would promptly make an effort to secure
subscriptions.
Besides, while the whole amount of the bonds
might be placed in few of our lage cities. it is
for many reasons not necessary to mention here,
preferable that they should be scattered among
our people as widely as possible
In the circle of your acquaintance there are
without doubt some who are able to take one or
more of these bonds, and who, if the matter is
properly presented and understood, will be
willing to make such loan to the church. even
though the rate of interest be low
VIII you not kindly inform us at once, by pos
tai card, whether not you will give us your
aid in the effort it is desirable for us to know
as early as possible what we may expect from
this measure?
In behalf of the Executive Committee

CHRISTIAN MIssIoNs.-The Nineteenth
Century says that Christian mission
stands in the foremost rank of powers
destined to change the face of the world.
These may almost be regarded as the
products of this century, and the impos-
ing magnitude which they have gained is
altogether recent. Their beginnings were
so small as generally to avert hostility
by securing the contemptuous indifference
of those who might have been unfriendly.
There are few things in human history
that wear an aspect of higher moral gran
deur than the opening of what are now
our great missions. One or two men
sent by this church and by that are seen
going forth in obedience to a command
spoken eighteen hundred years ago, to
begin the enormous work of undermining
heathenism and retaining the world to
God. Among the glories of the century
none is greater than this. All other en-
terprises of benefcence must yield to this
magnificent attempt to expel debasing
superstitions and convey into every heart
the ennobling influences of the Christian
religion. The success already attained
gives sure promise of results, the great
ness of which we as yet but dimly per-
ceive."

A DISCOVERY OF A GRAND HALL,
NEAR THE PANTHEON, AT RoME.-A
grand hall, exceeding in length the full
interior Of the Pantheon, and supposed
to be the vestibule of the Pantheon itself,
or, rather, connecting hall between the
Pantheon and the Baths Of Agrippa has
been recently explored. This hall meas
ures 40 feet in length, 80 feet in width,
adorned with eight splendid Auted col
umns Of Phrygian and Numidian marble.
Within this hall is a niche, where is a
pedestal II feet wide by II feet, large
enough for colossal group Of sculpture.
1t is supposed that within this hall stood
the celebrated bronze athlete" statue,
which Agrippa brought from Greece, and
placed in the portico of Ais warm baths.

Our Mothers.

In the formation of our character, we
owe to our mothers more than any other
human agency, for it is their hands that
first twinc the tendrils of our hearts,
guide our footsteps Alright, lead us in the
path of virtue, and in the dark. dreary
night of pain, there watchful vigils keep
beside the couch of their dear ones.
Whose but the all-seeing eye Of Jehovah
can fathom the depths of anxiety they
feel, and who can tell of the ceaseless
prayers which they offer for their sim
stricken children?
Their influence ever shines with an
unusullied light which softens and puri-
fies the hayward impulses of the youth
full mind, and guides it onward in its
course toward heeven. How, then, can
we pay just tribute to our mothers
with what measures of gratitude and
affection shall we requite them for their
maternal care?
To those who have lost their mothers
in early life, there is The hallowed spot,
sacred to memory, where they retrospect
the past--recall days and nights when
their mothers kept watch over their sin
less years, and where they may look for
ward, with faith and hope, to the blessed
reunions of the everlasting future.
Friends may be torn from our hearts,
hopes may be blasted, and our love for
Others may grow cold, yet every princi-
pile of gratitude and every feeling Of
virtuous sensibility requires that we
should cling to our mothers and love
them still.
