piled in these words to the apostolic
churches, he is simply deceiving himself,
and has neither part nor lot in this mat
ter?
We are perfectly aware that there are
many on the border-land-who far down
in their innermost heart nourish feeble
and Pickering spark, and who yet know
nothing of the meaning of the language
we have quoted. There are some such
saved, "yet SO as by fire." But there
are hundreds and thousands of others,
fancying themselves secure, in whom that
spark has never been kindled at all; and
why do they delude themselves with the
fancy that they are going to heaven ?
Why spend their strength in accomplish
ing nothing? What sort of disappoint-
ment will be theirs-dying with the
firm assurance that all is well, and find
ing it otherwise

DEAN Afford gives the preference, as
literary production, among the epistles
of Paul, to First Corinthians which, he
says, ranks, perhaps, the foremost of all
as to sublimity, and earnest and impas-
stoned eloquence. Regarding Paul as
the author of the epistle to the Hebrews,
we do not ourselves feel prepared to en-
dorse this opinion.
Afford justly characteristics l Cor. xiii
as "a pure and perfect gem; perhaps the
noblest assemblage of beautiful thoughts
in beautiful language extant in this our
world"
A gem of the same character may be
noted in Heb xii Wherefore seeing we
also are comprised about with so great a
cloud of witnesses" etc.

UNION THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY
The official report of the Secretary of
the Board of Trustees of this institution
will be found on page LIST of our paper.
The Church will be grati6ed to know that
the financial condition of the Seminary
is better than it has ever been, and es-
pecially that the Scholarship Fund has
been materially increased.
One important feature of this Semi
nary is the strict examinations, oral and
written to which the students are sub
jected at the close of the term, and the
high standard which they must reach in
order to graduate, or to pass from one
class to higher one.
The success Of the experiment of pro-
viding for special instruction in Elocu-
ton was altogether satisfactory.
The anniversary proceedings were of
marked interest. DR.. Hoges address
Tuesday night to the Society of Re-
ligious Inquiry, was one of the most
timely and suitable ever delivered on
such an occasion. His subject was
Enthusiasm in the Work of the Min
istly, and the manner in which the
subject was presented could not fail to
make the happiest impression upon the
young men connected with the Seminary.
Rev. F. H. johnson, of North Carolina,
by appointment of the Board of Direc-
tors, delivered the address to the gradua
ting class. It was an admirable state
ment Of the requisites for preachers of
the gospel.

pg- Important Notice to Dele

gates Yesterday morning we received
intelligence that the following telegram
had been forwarded to the Moderator of
the General Assembly:
Recent developments, chiefly among the ne
groess, seem to render it imprudent that persons
not thoroughly protected by vaccination remain
for days in Atlanta. Can you not postpone to
July? W. E. BoGds,
for Convention of Elders and Deacons."
atlanta, Ga, May 8, 1882.
DR.. Faris, the Moderator, resides in st.
Louis, and we cannot say at this writing
what will be done.
Delegates will, no doubt, ascertain from
the daily papers what will be determined
in regard to the matter. 1t seems to us
it would be best to change the place OF
meeting.

LORD FREDERICK CAvENDIsH, the new
Chief Secretary of Ireland, and Mr. Thos.
Il. Burke, the Under Secretary, were
brutally assassinated last Saturday after
noon in Phoenix Park, Dublin, about half
past seven o'clock. Lord Cavendish had
taken the oath of Office only few hours
before the tragic occurrence. The crime
has excited the indignation of ali parties,
and the press, without exception, has been
outspoken in condemnation of it.
1t is unfortunate for the Irish people
that this assassination should have oc-
cured just at this time. 1t is useless to
say that the world stands aghast at the
crime.
What occurs to us particularly in con-
nection with the subject is the remark
that there is some deep cause for these
manifestations in different parts of the
world. That cause, in our judgment, is
the turbulent and revolutionary spirit of
our age. Society everywhere is in state
Of unrest, of disorganisation. Humanity
is wild with new theories and with the
excitenents of the day.
No man can tell what a year or a
month may bring forth in Europe; nor
can we tell at all what will be the con-
dition Of America twenty years hence.

ROMAN CATHOLIC figures exhibit large
numbers of converts in heather countries,
but, says writer on the subject, there is
a simple explanation. Speaking of their
missions in Siam, he says that they have
not been very successful, and adds: "Yet
the size of their roll is still greater than
that of the Protestant missions, and it is
therefore necessary to remember that the
difference in quality is so radical and
complete that such a comparison of guam
titles is utterly misleading. This declar-
alton would not be made if the Roman
Church held the same standard in Siam
which it does in England or America, in
stead of sinking, as it actually has done,
almost to the level of heathenism itself.
This can be tested by observing its atti-
tude towards the Christians, the Siamese,
and the Chinese"

expressed because President Arthur has removed
the portrait Of Mrs ez President Hayes, placed
in the executive mansion by the temperance

in the house to an obscure corner. He NAV be

a lady admired and loved throughout the land.

Mankato Review: DR.. Wilhelm
of the Faribault sugar refinery, at.
tended the recent tariff convention
in New York, as a delegate from
Minnesota, where he exhibited a
specimen of the sugar manufactured
this season at the Faribault refinery
which attracted a great deal of ot-
tention, and brought many inquir-
les with regard to the sugar-prodnc.
ing capabilities of the State The
sugar was tested by experts and pc.
larized 81, showing it to be almost
absolutely pure. The Faribault re.
finery, as we learn from the Repubi.
can, has completed the work of
swinging out the sugar products
from the last seasons crop, which
amounted to Is tons, produced from
about so acres of cane. The sugar
has all been wholesaled to dealers at
nine cents pound. This result, it
is to he remembered, had been ac-
complished under very unfayorabie
conditions, the past season having
been the worst for the cane crop
that has been experienced since It's
cultivation was commenced in this
State.

Washington Letter.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 31st, 1881.
The President returns to this city

usual New Years Reception. 1t is
expected from the different circum.
stances surrounding the present in.
mate of the White House than those
which attended the occupant of last

ties will be of unusual brllliancy.
In fact, since the accession of wi

ways and means to render itself at

from distant parts, the most beauti.
full and attractive bellies. Washing

so in society women, but there has
always been a dearth Of recognized
bellies here whose beauty more than
wealth entities them to the name.
So now, as the winter gaieties are
about to commence, the influx of
pretty girls into Washington from
all parts of the country, on a visit
to their dear forty-second cousin, or
distantly removed uncle or aunt, is
at once joy to our young men and

in the streets as the snowfakes
which fell here yesterday, and as a

more than usually troubled by tail
