outside of Galilee. Should we not have
expected him to act at the theocratic
centre? Most spa-ingly he exerted this
power to call back the dead to life. He
took no trouble to perpetuate the truth
of this miracle at Bethany or of any other
miracle He did not even take the trou-
BILE to have his sayings recorded. He
threw them off, with no scribe or secre-
tary to preserve them. No provision was
made after him by the Apostles for the
preservation and determination Of the
Canon. The New Testament Scriptures,
like the Old Tesla 1T Scriptures, were
the silent product of i'rovidence-an I'M
marked growth-without any formal pre-
meditation or preconcerted plan on the
part of man. The apostles seem hardly
conscious that they were making Scrip
ture. Paul writes for his cloak.
Jesus did not undertake to settle the
canon Of the Old Testament. He did not
undertake to say whether the Book of
Proverbs was written by Solomon, or
whether there were two Isaiahs, or to ex-
plain the extravagant numbers of the
Books of Chronicles. Silent-never over
stepping the modesty of Divine Revela-
ton.
We have Jesus, we have the Bible, as
we have the Book of Nature; God has
left them with US to study-in either case
the TRUTH can only be won by digging
for it as.we dig for treasure. 1t obtrudes
itself on no man, either in the world OF
Revelation or the world of Nature. The
GOLD is therein untold quantities-if
we will only seek for it; as Nature rem
ders up her secrets to those who WOO her,
and reveals measureless depths of cen
trivance and beauty.

Did Pascal Misrepresent the
JeSuitS ?

When the Ne,0 York Observer re-
Gently called attention to the TEACHINGS
OF the Jesuits, one of the Roman Catholic
Bishops wrote the editor a private note
in which he spoke of Pascal's Provincial
Letters as witty calumnies. The or
se'0e', among other appropriate things in
reply, publishes the answer which Pascal
himself gives to this accusation. 1t is ex-
ceedingly interesting, and, taken in con-
nection with his exalted character, is very
satisfactory also. 1t is as follows:
was asked if repented of having written
Les ProOinciGLes / reply that far from HAVING
rePented, if had to write them now, l would
write yet more strongly. was asked why

nave cited. l answer, that if 1 lived in a citv
where there were dozen fountains, and that I
certainty knew that there was one which was
poisoned, should be obliged to advertise to all
the world to draw no water from that fountain
and, as they might think that it was pure i'm.
aglnatlon on my part! should be obliged to
name him who had poisoned it, rather than ex.
by it.

nave been only the learned who would have
read, and they would have had no necessity to
DO it, being, at-least, as WILL acquainted with
the subject as myself; thus 1 thought it duty
10 write so as to be comprehended by women
and men of the world, that they might know

which they permitted themselves to be so e,siIv

THE Belfast Witness, deploring the
present attitude Of indifference towards
Romanism assumed by many evangelical
Christians, makes the following very just
remarks:
Some are sanguine enough to believe that,
owing to the reverses of late years, the Church
of Rome has so far been shorn of her erternaL
influence, that what she says or does may be
safely Ignored by those outside her pale. 9th
ers seem to think that there is gradual i'm
provement going on from within, and as signs
of progress become apparent, they conclude that
the spirit of that system is changed for the bet.
ter. They see the hierarchy in all European
countries engaged in the most earnest and per
tnacious struggle for the complete control of
education, and they conclude that these are the
true friends of education. They can no longer
recognise the Romanism of the Middle Ages
that placed a premium upon ignorance, and
elevated mendicity to the rank of Christian
virtue. We feel ourselves equally unable, to
agree with either of these views. Rome is still
so powerful that the policy of the Vatican
(which is first political and then religious) can
not with safety be left out of the calculations of
European statesmen And her acts of religion I"
which seem most pious to the unintiated, may
be prompted by purely political motives, and
have only political aims as we have lust seen
in the case CT the proposed Spanish piIgrimaees
To those who tell US that the spirit of the
Romanism Of to day is that of Mountaineering
culture, associated with true and enlightened
Pety-we reply, How do you reconcile your
belief with the late canonisations at Rome &C
companied by such solemn pomp and pagean-
try In which ignorance, Incidence, and filth
ndescribable were glorified, and the grossest
superstitions were offered to the belief and
practice of all Romanists ?"

HE Committee OF HOME MISSIONS
OF the Northern Presbyterian Church, at
its recent meeting, determined to recon-
mend to the General Assembly, that
henceforth the work of missions within
the bounds of each Presbytery be con-
Quoted under the direction of the Pres
bytery; that the Board discontinue the
issuing of commissions to the missiona-
ries, and in lieu thereof issue to Presby-
terry an agreement as to the amount to
be paid to missionaries commissioned by
the Presbytery. On this matter the In
terror remarks: "The principle which
demands that the Presbytery shall have
exclusive direction and control of its own
work on its own field, beside being
true Presbyterian principle is one that
will lift undesirable responsibility off the
shoulders of the secretaries and place it
where it belongs, on the shoulders of the
Presbyteries.

ONE of the most noticeable things
about the churches in missionary lands is
their hberality From Southern India
Mr.. Kendall reports to the Missionary
Herald that most of the 2,501 church
members connected with the Madura
Mission are from the lowest castles and
are day laborers, earning not more than
ten cents day. Yet most of them give
something, and they are giving more and
more literally each year" Mr.. How
land speaks of certain Christians in
this region who live on Sc year, who
yet contribute Of what they have-ros-
sibly at times only handful of rice
from their scanty store.
From letter written by Mr.. Tracy,
of Tirupuvanam, the Herald makes the
following interesting extract.
Through the year they did what they could
IN their ordinary offerings, being never suffered
to forget their kalaiams The year wore away,
and they came back once more to compare re-
suits The interest elected was pleasing SIGN
and as the breaking of kalaianps went on it be =
came evident that the pledges had been mostly
fulfilled The total amount was fully up to the
sum pledged; an advance of one half on the pre-.
vious year.
One congregation consisting mostly of women,
whose dependence is wholly upon their daily
labor as coolies, gave $3.50 and little over.
They had pledged So. If anybody is disposed
to say that three dollars and fifty; cents IS not
much, let me say that it is at least ten per cent
OF their probable earnings for the whole year
They are poor they own no fields their cloth
ing Is OF the scantiest and often quite insult.
hcient; the houses in which they live, though
clean, are such as would in any civilized country
be, disowned as human habitations Yet being
constantly reminded of Gods love, and of his
gifts to them, they have given thus generously.
Nor Is 1t spasmodic effort: they have been
growing into it, and theirs is a spirit of real
sell denying benevolence. l doubt if any
chuch or congregation in the home land can
show so good a record
Another congregation, in less favorable cir.
cumstances, because less able to obtain work
and one which has given generously of its labor
toward the bcilding, last year, of small
church, gave between 81 so and 81 Of their
poverty need only say that their women have
not sufficient clothing'to properly cover their
persons. They would clothe themselves If they
could. Their houses are the merest novels,
well ventilated over head indt ed, but not other
wise well at all. Their contribution was pro
baby ten per cent of all the money which they
had received during the year. Besides this
they had given nearly half as much in Sabbath
offerings during the year. No mean record, it
seems to me.
Il will not mu tiply illustrations. am
convinced that the Christians of this district are
having the matter of benevolence kept faith
fully before them, and that in proportion to
their means they are making far more gener
Gus response than thousands upon thousands in
America"

WE WERE struck with an item in one
of our exchanges to the effect that the
children of missionaries residing in Tur-
key have formed themselves into society
for sending the gospel to "toreign" lands
The first year their contributions were
sent to the Dakota Indians in America,
and last year they were sent to Africa
1t is only straw, but it is one of the
many indications that the missionary
spirit is fully aroused-that the Church
has walked up to the idea of converting
the world. Here we have the gospel 60
ing out from Turkey to Dakota and
Africa. 1t is emphatically (omitting
the early centuries) the Missionary Age.
And we believe that what is being done
to-day is not the 1.-THE of what will be
witnessed in twenty years. The Church
is going forth to conquer the world it
wakes as a giant from its sleep. The re-
flex influence on the Church at home will
be as profitable as the influence exerted
on the heather. For the first time in
many centuries the Church will realise
the idea of conservation; and can we
measure the power of thoroughly con-
secrated Christianity Not the half-and-
half article which now passes under the
name Of religion among so many profess
ing Christians; but religion like that
of the Martyrs, and Judsons, and Duffs,
and Havergals, and Havelocks, and Jack
sons, and Mullers. Literary men and
scientific men and philosophers may go
on with their theories and speculations,
and Biblical critics like Robertson Smith
and his German allies, may make diff
culties about this, that, and the other;
but the whole army will be met when
the Church arises in her strength, and
confronts them with Christ-like Chris
tianity, which shall put to silence all
their cavils, and carry conviction over
the. earth as when, after tempest we
wake from our dreams and find the sun
streaming through the windows of our
chamber in the morning. tits not argat-
n1ent that is wanted to convince the
world but exampleg-examples of the
transforming power of Christianity. The
Church does not yet know what conse-
Grafton means; when it does know, no
obscure line will define any longer the
boundary between the Church and the
World

HE April number of Harper'S Maqa-
s'ae has an article on the recently dis
covered copy of the Athena Parthenos of
Phidias' at Athens, from the pen of our
accomplished friend, Prof. B. L. Glider
sleeve, of Johns Hopkins University.
The original Athena Parthenos or Virgin
Athena was one of the most famous works
Of Phidias, and was consecrated at Athens
In the year 437 B. @. 1t was made of
gold and ivory. The present Athena is
statGette copy of this, of sufficient di-
mansions to show many valuable details
OF the original. at is, says Prof. Gil
dersleeve, lin many respects one of the
most interesting and instructive discov-
cries made in these days, in which nature
and history alike yield up so many Sc
crets to those who have the patience to
dig and the audacity to knock. Certain
ly 1T deserves to share popular attention,
If not with the Venus of Melos or the
Hermes of Olympia, at least with the
fgurines of Tanagra."
1t was found on the 30th of December.
1880, in the immediate neighborhood of
the northern boundary of the ancient
city, among the remains of Roman
house, foot or two below the surface of
the ground. The height with the plinth

later period, when inquiry was made for
it, it could not be found, and was sup
posed to have been lost. Not only, as we
are assured, does this manuscript contain
the earliest known edition of the Had,
but it records the exact date and place of
Homer's birth, as well as the historical
sources from which he derived the par
ticulars of the siege of Troy.
If subsequent examination shall sus-
tain these declarations, many vexed ques-
tons with regard to the Homeric poems,
so long agitated by the critics, will be
settled.

The Rev. DIR. MURRAY MITCHELL.

The Rev. DR. MURRAY MITCHELL re
ports in the Free Church Monthly a
deeply interesting account of a recent
visit he paid at Jalna (ndia), the home
Of the Rev. Narayan Sheshadri, the con
verted Brahman, whose recent visit to this
country (and the Philadelphia Presbyte-
rian CounciD will be well remembered.
1t happened that many of those who had
hoped to be baptized were hindered on
that particular day from coming for
ward, but their purpose was fixed. DR..
Mitchell says:
Almost as soon as we met our dear friend
addressed me Well are you prepared to
baptize between sixty and seventy people next
Sunday Are you serious p 1 asked En-.
tirely so; the people are prepared and waiting
1 could hardly speak in reply. There flashed
on my memory scene / witnessed ten years
ago at Ranchi in Chutia Nagpore and all the
thoughts and emotions the sight had suggested
came rushing like food into my mind On
the occasion referred TO | saw the German mis-
slonary Jellinghaus-ot the mission associated
with the much honored name of Gossner-bap
tie on one Sunday seventy SIX people, and on
another ninety two till he paused for very
WEAKNESS, and was fain to call on a brother to
finish the delightful task The men and women
baptized were Kolhs among whom you are
aware the gospel has had very remarkable sue
cess. l told the missionary after the service
that thought the admission Of so many into
the Church Of Christ was the most touching
sight had ever witnessed. / do not wonder
said he: all who witness such a scene are
deeply moved. Both Bishop Cotton and DR.
Duff witnessed it, and were melted to tears.
well remember that the question occurred to me
at the time, Shall / live to behold such sight
either in the hard field of Western India or
among the Hindu villages Of Bengal and that
/ answered my own query by saying that, hu
reserved for me. Hence Narayan's question
gave me delightful surprise and filled my
heart with overiicwing thankfulness"

A DISCOVERY Of great value has just
been made by Prof Rokeg, Of the Uni
versity of Athens According to the
Messoger d. Athene8 this eminent phi
lologist, in the course of his recent ex-
haustive rummagings among the ancient
manuscripts preserved in certain Greek
monasteries, came upon a bulky roll of
papyrus, which, upon examination, turned
out to be a copy Of the Had executed by
Theophrastus the Athenian in the one
hundred and seventeenth Olympiad, or
about 3O9 B. G. This priceless manu-
script was conveyed from Constantinople
to Mount Athos by one Andronicus, a
nephew Of Constantine Palpologus, the
last Of the Byzantine emperors. On the
death Of Andronicus, the monks came into
possession Of the manuscript, who, how
ever, took 50 little care Of it that at a
