MoNT BLANC IN JANUARY.-A writer in the
London World describes an ascent of Mont
Blanc in January, and his remarkable climat-
ic experiences. He states that as soon as the
sun was fairly up, and the shadow line had
been passed, the heat on the glaZier became
almost oppressive. He aud his companions
were compelled TO take of their additional
wraps, and were clothed exactly as they
would have been for the same excursion dur
ing August. At an elevation of 10000 feet,
cigarettes were smoked ION the balcony of
the caJdRe about 8 P. NJ, after supper, with
out feeling the cold any more than if we had
been in NJ. Couttet's garden in Chamonix-a
fact which will hardly be credited by many,
to whose minds a visit to Switzerland in win
ter is only suggestive of 'Kane's Arctic Dis
coveries' or 'Franklin's Voyages"

Fraternal Relations.

The action of the late Assembly on
fraternal relations may be stated thus:
l. The exchange of delegates provided
for was not designed to initiate this as
the settled and permanent method of cor
respondence with the Northern Assem-
bly,, but was intended for single occa-
sion, and all subsequent correspondence
with this as other churches, save the
Dutch Reformed, according to the pro-
claimed policy of our Church, is to be
conducted by letter.
2. The sending of delegates on our part
is not to be taken as an expression of our
appreciation of the doctrinal looseness OF
the Northern Church, against which we
have and do still testify; but merely as a
formal and conspicuous way of consum-
mating the reconciliation of the two
churches, and announcing to the world
that while seeding from no principle we
do mutually retract all offensive erpreS-
SONS, and are at peace.
3. This action Of our Assembly in ap-
pointing delegates was based upon the
supposition that the Northern Assembly
intended to and did actually withdraw
all lmputations upon our Church, no
matter a0heaa or hon uttered by it.
But now suppose that there is rea-
sonable probability that our Assembly,
in its eagerness to heal all differences
and be at peace, misconstrued the North
ern Assembly, and that that body intend
ed to and did actually except from its
retraction the in1putationS upon our
Church, contained in its deliverances
concerning loyalty and rebellion, and did
thus in effect and deliberately reiterate
all these offensive expressions, what then?
Is 1T not certain that our Assembly would
never have appointed delegates if it had
so understood that Assembly, and that
these delegates, if they should go on to
execute their commission, would in fact
not represent but maiSrepresent our As
sembly and Church, by proclaiming peace
when there is no peace, and executing to
the Northern Assembly a commission
which, upon the supposition made, would
have never been entrusted to them?
What is to be done? Are we helpless?
Must our delegates 60 on to consummate
a relation which, based as it would be,
probably, upon misconstruction of the
real feeling and attitude of the Northern
Assembly, would be repudiated by our
whole Church with shout? For one, l
say no. Let US call a halt, and let our
delegates, before they take seat in the
Northern Assembly, ask that body to ex-
plain Gin few plain words" that erpla-
nation which was not maodlfcation-and
let our Church, through the Presbyteries,
speak its mind on this point, so vital to
the welfare and peace of both churches,
and to hearty and sincere and lasting
friendship.
The writer OF this is in cordial sympa-
thy with the action of the Atlanta AS
sembly, provided it has not misinterpre-
ted the paper of the Northern Assembly;
but if it did, then away with fraternai
relations. D. WIS.

such declarations of loyalty and support
OF the government. These they are not
prepared to retract. Bat then mingled
with these declarations are grave asper-
sions of our character. Very true. and
they are aOithdraaVn 6y the first resolution,
and so far as We are concerned by these
loyalty resolutions the withdrawal is re-
lterated In the last resolution. We think
it would have been more handsome in
our brethren to have left out the except
ing resolution, but if they prefer to ex-
cept their declarations of loyalty to their
government we cannot see the justice of
making this bar to fraternity so long
as they withdraw all that we have right
to consider personally offensive to us and
our Church; they undoubtedly had as
warm attachment to their government as
we to ours, and while we condemn all
political deliverances by the Church, yet
at Baltimore we receded from the posi-
ton which declared the resembling of
those deliverances sine qua non to fra
ternal intercourse. Suppose our Assem-
bly, in 1864 had appointed day of fast
ing and prayer for the success of the Con-
federate States, and our Northern breth-
rem at Springfield had demanded the
withdrawal of such resolution before
agreeing to an exchange of delegates,
would we not have felt aggrieved there
by?
2. The Assembly at Atlanta, with re-
markable unanimity, voted its entire sat
isfaction with the action of the Northern
Assembly. There were only three dis
senting votes.
3. This almost unanimous action was
taken with all the light before them
Herrick Johnson resolution, explanatory
non-modifying telegram and ali the AS
sembly declared its entire satisfaction
with all. We know nothing now that
we did not know then.
4. If we withdraw at this hour we will
be placed in a very unenviable light as
to this whole matter; to withdraw after
having declared by an overwhelming ma
Iority our satisfaction with their action,
will be construed as the notification of
all our declarations in favor of an hon
orable reconciliation. The time to pause,
If ever, was when the Herrick Johnson
resolution was first received-then we
might have said, "Now we will await
further developments before taking final
when we asked explanation,
received it, declared our satisfaction, and
joined in prayer of thanksgiving to God
on account of the happy settlement of the
difficulty, then it seems too late to undo
the whole thing without any additional
ground of ofense; with no new element
entering into it; with no information that
was not before us when we Joined in that

The Restless Family.

1t IS a hard lesson for some good
brethren. to learn, but it is a very need
full one, that where God puts us we ought
to stay, and what God assigns us we ought
to do. His place is always the right
place. [ remember that my own earliest
field Of labor was a most difficult and dis
couraging one, and foolishly determined
to quit it at the first opportunity. Ny
forbearing Master kept me there, and
presently most abundant revival rain
descended upon the little field and made
it sweet and blooming as a garden of
roses. | narrowly missed losing one of
the richest mercies and most profitable
lessons of my whole life. o, how often
our strength lies in sitting still One
object In recording the story of Jonah
must have been to teach us never to run
away from the post of duty. That ticket
to Tarshish cost the poor prophet the
loss of his money, the loss of his time
the loss of his credit, and but for Gods
interposition would have cost the loss of
his life. There is no field of spiritual
labor that does not contain its full share
of stones and stumps and stubborn soil;
it is not change of place that is needed
so much as change of heart toward the
difficult work to be done.
There is still another sort of restless
ness that every child of God is tempted
with and that is the desire to shirk pain
ful loads and to run away from the rod
of discipline. Far wiser and better would
it be for US to seek strength from heaven
to stand fast and firm like an anvil under
the blows. 1t is not best to remove
vessel from under rain-spout when it is
being filed When our loving Father is
dealing with us let us strive to keep still
until His wise and needful surgery is ac-
complished o, that our restless and
rebellious souls would learn that many a
loss is merely gain, many hindrance
may become help, many humiliation
may lift us nearer toward holiness, and
many a cross may be transformed into
priceless crown. God often hedges us
up in order to help us forward he emp
ties our house and home Of treasures in
order to fill our hearts out of his own
gracious fulness. Certain we are of
one thing, and that is the restless spirit
must be left outside the gate when we
get to heaven. If that be So why carry
it all the way thither 2-Belfa8t Witness.

The Fulness of Christ.

Paul counted all things but loss for
the excellency of the knowledge of Christ
Jesus" his Lord, and his charge to the
Hebrew Christians was, consider" Cor
as the Greek word has been said to mean
literally, "gaze on') the Apostle and
High Priest of our profession, Christ
Jesus" But as in Him dwelleth all
the fulness of the Godhead bodily" eter-
nifty will scarcely suffice to unfold to us
His infinite projections. We shall know
Him doubtless, as fully as our capacity
will admit at our first sight of Him, face
to face, in heaven; but may not each
revelation of Him expand the soul, so
that ever increasing knowledge and love
and blessedness will fill it through the
hmitless ages? God, our patient teacher
has sought in multiplied ways to show
us His glory even here. In the infancy
of the race it was through emblems and
symbols that He disclosed the nature Of
the Messiah, and even now that {" the
Dayspring from on high hath visited us"
these types of the Old Testament are to
" the Sun of Righteousness as attendant
sunrise clouds displaying in rich, vary
ing, glowing lights, His beauty. We need
still to fix our minds on them to gain
complete idea of what Christ is. The
lambs slain in sacrifice from the time Of
mans fall, the innocent for the guilty ;
the ark bearing the saved ones over the
ocean of wrath the blood sprinkled with
the hyssop- branch on the door of every
Israelite in Egypt, that the destroying
angel might pass over those within the
whole templeservice with its morning
and evening testimony that blood must
be shed to atone for sins, with its priests
mediating between the people and holy
God, and adding sweet incense to their
offerings of prayer, with its High Priest
appearing once a year in the holy Of
holies to sprinkle the blood of atonementin
the very presence of God, and the scape-
goat bearing off into "a land of separa-
tion," the iniquities of the people laid on
its devoted head-all these hold up
Christ graphically before us. And then
the typical characters Of the old dis
pensation Joseph sold by his brethren,

iiverer; Moses the great prophet reveal
ing to Israel the will of God Joshua
bearing the very name Of "the captain
of our salvation as he led the host Of
the Lord safely into the Promised Land !;
David the king, subduing and conquer
ing the enemies Of Gods people; each
one rejecting as far as their human
frailty would permit one ray Of Christ's
glory that our finite minds may see in
detail what we cannot grasp at once as a
whole, and 30 may comprehend some
thing of the fitness Of Christ.
Besides all this, concentrating into one

phecy, Christ was manifested in the flesh,

nal Relations Question.

On a subject involving such tender and
sacred "reminiscences absolute unanimity
could not be expected, still less could
silence there anent be looked for, par
ticularly among Presby terians whose out
spokenness is fully abreast with their
other virtues; so on the whole there has
not been quite such deluge of discus
sion as might have been apprehended.
For time we believed silence to be>in
the interest of harmony, now we fear the
time has come when silence may be broken
in the same interest.
at present systematic, organized eff
fort from influential quarters is making
towards the crystalization of discomfort
with the present state of affairs into a
united, formal protest; before this article
meets the eye, many readers will have
received an invitation to Join in this pro-
test and lend their influence, where it
will be most felt, to the effort to change
the attitude of our Church on this matter
of fraternal relations Before falling in
with the current of this ingeniously con-
structed er paTte, ad captandun1 invita-
ton, several things are worthy of consid-
Grafton
l. The concurrent resolution seems to
be very generally satisfactory the occa-
sion of offense is the Herrick johnson re-
solution excepting from the first certain
declarations concerning loyalty and re-
bellion; the third telegram declares the
first to be unmodifed by the second, and
therefore re5terateS the first. Now then
is it not aside from the merits of the
matter for us to ask what the Herrick
Johnson resolution does, if it does not
modify or to say that if it does not mod
ify, it does nothing etc., etc. Sup pose
we can prove absolutely that it modifes
or is utterly meaningless they declare
officially that it does not modify. Is it
then our business to 90 behind this dec
laration and make the passing of mean
ingless resolution bar to fraternity?
But the explanation Of this famous
Herrck johnson resolution is not far to
seek The Grst, concurrent resolution
wipes outall that they have said that we
might consider offensive-but there were
certain political delverances" which at
our Louisville Assembly were declared
