A Remarkable Extract.

MeSSr8. EditOrS,-The following ex-
tract, from book do not name, is very
remarkable:
"From time to time, divine being is
born into the world. He understands
all truth, and makes his knowledge
known to others. A man listens to the
truth, and has faith in the great Teacher
He then renounces household life, and
enters the order that he may live the
higher life, free from all hindrances. He
passes a self-restrained life, according to
the precepts of the law of ten precepts-
uprightness is his delight and he sees
danger in the least of those things which
he should avoid; he trains himself in the
precepts, he encompasses himself with
holiness in word and deed, he sustains
his life by means that are quite pure {;
good is his conduct, guarded the door of
his senses; mindful and self-possessed, he
is altogether happy. x And he let's
his mind pervade one quarter of the
world with thoughts of love, and so the
second, and so the third, and so the
tourth-and thus the whole wide world
above, below, around, and everywhere,
does ne continue to pervade with heart
OF love tar-reaching, grown great, and
beyond measured"
Which of your readers, to whom the
subject is new, will not be surprised to
learn that the above is extracted, with a
few unimportant variations, from one Of
the 8~ttaS or sacred canonical books Of
the BuddhistSI and Buddha died more
than five hundred years before the com
ing OF Christ S. L. G.

mingham. Jackson is on the Tombigbee
river, and thus has steamboat communi-
cation with Bladen, celebrated water
ing place. These two churches are i'm
portant points, and need minister, but
are too isolated to form conveniently a
union with other churches, and too feeble
for self-support. Possibly, however, some
brother capable of enduring hardness
might locate at either of these points, and
by travelling no further than some of our
ministers in this PresbyterY regularly do,
make up field of useful labor Some
aid could perhaps be derived, if necessary,
from the missionary fund. Mr.. A. M.
Wing, of Jackson, and Mr. Edward Tabb,
of Bladen, would cheerfully give informa-
ton, if desired, respecting these churches.
In survey of the map of Presbytery,
we next reach the circuit of Rev. J. Men
tor Crane, son of Mr.. D. B. Crane, de-
ceased, long an elder in one of the church
es in Mobile. He supplies Montpelier,
Linden, Bells Landing, Hopewell, and
Geneva churches, field, if mistake not,
embracing parts of the counties of Ma
rengo, Wilcox, and Monroe. Being a
bachelor, and blest with vigorous CON
stltutlon, he is able to serve these scat
tered churches regularly, and deserves,
if he does not receive, the cognomen of
I" the saddle-bags-preacher" as Justly as
most of the itinerant Methodist preachers
of former days. Air Mount church, now
extinct, was located in that region of
country. cold father Hope" as he was
tamiliarly termed, was long the sole off
Ger in that church, and was noted for his
liberality, consistent piety, and regular
attendance upon meetings of Synod and
Presbytery. Rev. N. g. Phillips, its pas
tor, is remembered among the faithful
laborers of our Presbytery who have en-
tered into rest. This building still stands
memorial of the good works once
wrought there, and of the good people
who sleep in its quiet church-yard.

Home Missions.
How Shall Means be Obtained for
Their Support

REV. RICHARD McILwAINE, SECRETARY
This question was considered lately in
an article in which the monthly concert
OF prayer, the Home Mission societies
and the mite chests were indicated as eff
fective agencies through which assistance
may be secured for this cause. We wish
now to point out two other sources OF
supply which ought to be opened in its
behalf more abundantly than heretofore
And the first of these is:
The Contributions of Individual Chris
tians
The time was, a few years ago. when
comparatively few in our Southern
Church could afford to contribute LARGELY
to this cause, and many acquired the
habit OF giving sparingly in proportion
to their means; and now that their
ability has increased, they have not en-
larged their gifts Others have con-
ccelved OF our Home Mission work as
num- drum, slow coach kind of affair, and
OF the development and growth Of our
held as inconsiderable, and making no
special demand for generous effort
Others have had their attention tnrneJ
to other departments Of benevolent work
as the objects Of their sympathy, to the
neglect Of this.
All these classes need now to wake mn.
The providence Of God-in opening IN
every direction throughout our South
ern country great highways Of traffic; in
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1882-08-02

bath Schools. Let them all be effec-
lively worked, and such widespread
interest in the cause will be developed
that the annual collections will be largely
increased and the aggregate of receipts
be sufficient to enable us to embrace the
glorious opportunities now set before the
Church, and to do well the work assigned
us in the providence of God.
