The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1882-04-12

THE REV. DR.. CHARLES WADswoRTH
thirty years ago, was the great pulpit
orator OF Philadelphia, and had few supe-
riors or equals. In 1916 he took charge
of the Arch Street Presbyterian church
in that city. Years ago it was our good
fortune to hear him frequently. We re-
garded him as one of the most brilliant
and gifted speakers we ever listened to.
He spoke from manuscript; it was not
in fact speaking-it was reading; he
hardly took his eyes off of his manuscript;
he bent over, and like some rapt poet, he
followed it as if unconscious of the pre-
sence of his audience, with such power of
elocution and utterance, as to hold his
congregation in breathless silence to the
close.
DIR. Wadsworth was modest, humble
man, who set little value on his own i'm
portance. He preached Christ, and moth
ing else. 1t was the custom, in years
gone by, to report his sermons in the
papers, and we believe his friends pub
lished volume of his sermons in Cali
fornia. In 1862 he accepted call to
the Calvary Presbyterian church in San
Francisco, where he remained until 1869.
He then returned to the East, and was
for short time pastor of the Reformed
Dutch church, Philadelphia, founded by
DR.. Bethune. From this he passed to
the pastorate of the church formed by the
union of the Reformed church, the West
ern Presbyterian church, and the Clinton
Street Emmanuel church. Here he ended
his ministry by death on the LIST instant
The Presbyterian, of Philadelphia, truly
remarks of him: "On Saturday, the 1st
of April, a star of<the first magnitude,
which had shone for forty years in our
horizon, dropped beyond the mists of
evening, gathering after beautiful sun
setting, into the bosom of a surprising
but glorious morning"

The Pope's Temporal Power.

A correspondent writing from Rome to
the ". Y. Observer, says
"The question of the liberty of the Ro-
man Pontiff, the agitation of which in
November and December last caused such
high hopes among the clericals, is finally
settled in favor of Italy.
The Italian German Papal question ex-
lists no longer, as Germany is now openly
declared against the pretensions of the
Pope to the restitution of Rome. Wheth
er this idea existed only in the fertile i'm
agination of priests and clericals, or
whether Bismarck really encouraged it
for the moment in order to further the
success of other schemes, is uncertain
but the fact is that Germany and Italy
are one in opposing the perilous claims
Of the Papacy, that Germany as well as
Italy believes that the Pope has ample
liberty to exercise his religious ceremo-
MES, and that Germany, even less than
any other nation, is disposed to aid the
Papaoy in regaining the lost temporal
power

New CHURCH
the sessions of East Hanover Presbytery
IN this city last week, DR.. Hoge stated
that it had long been his wish, and that
of the elders of the church of which he is
pastor, to organise new church in the
western part of the city as soon as the
way should be clear. He said that they
already had a handsome chapel near the
western end of Grace street, and that the
time seemed near at hand when the con-
gregation to which he ministered would
be able to send out colony of perhaps
seventy-fve members. The pastor and
elders of the Second Presbyterian church
were appointed committee to carry out
this enterprise and organize the church
whenever, in their judgment, the way
should be clear.

Clopas," his mothers sister (or perhaps
her cousin).
Canon Cook argues that "the strangers
of the dispersion" to whom the epistles
Of Peter are addressed were all the Chris
tians (and not exclusively the Jewish
Christians of Asia Minor-a view of
whose correctness we are by no means
convinced. He thinks the epistles were
written in Rome.
The commentary on Revelation, while
exceedingly valuable, lacks distinctness,
but if ever this ceases to be fault, it is
undoubtedly in the Interpretation of this
difficult book. We think, however, that
the German school of interpreters (who
are somewhat followed by Archdeacon
Leg err in not recognising that this pro-
phecy is designed to forecast rather the
history of the Church as already devel-
oped than through an indefinite future
yet to be experienced. 1t seems to us
the keynote to the Interpretation lies
here. Our commentator thinks that pre-
vious expositors have erred generally in
combining their application of the Apoca-
lypse to those parts of the world which
have hitherto embraced Christianity, and
indeed pretty much to Western Christen-
dom. But it is precisely Europe or West
ern Christendom that has been the the
atre on which the Church has acted; her
history lies there Just as that of the Jews
lay in Judea. Is it possible that in a
scheme of the future of the Church the
seer should have left out the most con-
spicuous feature in 70 the ecclesiastical his
tory of Europe during the past fifteen
hundred years? And as to the Oriental
Church, the Protestant commentators of
Europe and America have recognised the
rise of the Mohammedan power.
We would repeat, what is intimated
above, that this commentary is specially
adapted to scholars and students; for or
binary family purposes, and for the plain
Christian, who aims chiefly to obtain the
spiritual import of the sacred writings,
we prefer Scott.

SINFUL people have a way OF implying that
deacon's daughters, and sermonizers' sons, are,
to put 1t mildly, no better than other young
people.-N. Y. Herald.
Yes, we know it is very common for
sinful people to say that the minister s
son is the worst boy in the village. They
love to disparage the Christian ministry
in this way. The argument is, What
good does your Christian training do
But sinful people" are wrong in this
matter. Those who have observed the
facts know that the sons and daughters
of godly ministers are far more apt to be-
come pious than the children of the ire
Ggious. In fact, the ministerial profes-
sion in a very large proportion of cases
runs in families, descending from sire to
son through a number of generations.
Look at the Alexander family, the Hoge
family, the Hodge family, in the Presby-
terrain Church; the Meade family in the
Episcopal Church of Virginia; the Broad
US family in the Baptist Church of Vir-
ginia, etc.

THE RE VIVAL IN CHARLOTTE,
NORTH CAROLINA.

Our readers have already been inform
ed Of a precious revival in the Second
church at Charlotte, N c., in charge OF
the Rev. Neander M. Woods.
This work commenced about two
months ago, just after the arrival of Mr..
Woods to take charge of the church. 1t
first manifested itself in the largely in
creased audiences, which in few weeks
grew from $50 to 600, while the prayer
meeting, on Wednesday evenings, soon
numbered 100 persons. No unusual
means were resorted to, only preaching
and visiting and prayer. There has been
no excitement at any time; only the
church seemed deeply moved as if under
some common impulse. AT the first COM
munion Gin March, so new members were
received into the church, and two weeks
later, to wit, on April End, sixteen more
were received, making sc in all. Of
these about 40 are new converts, embrac-
ing men and women, young and old.
About dozen of them are girls at the
Female College, under the charge of Rev.
W. R. Atkinson. Almost all the girls.
we are told, who two months ago were
unconverted are now apparently con-
verified, and several of them will join the
church of their parents at home.
Mr.. Woods was assisted two weeks by
the Rev. ]. Lowrie Wilson, of Neon
nellsville. S. c., and also by the Rev. DR..
A. W. Miller, of the First church, Char
lotte.
In the meantime the interest has spread
to the First church, and all last week
extra services were held by DIR. Miller,
which are still continued, with the aid of
the Rev. F. L. Leeper and the Rev. J.
I. Plunket. There have already been
quite number of accessions to this
church. The two churches unite in
daily union prayer meeting, and the
greatest harmony of action prevails be-
tween them.
Mr.. Woods's people have given him a
warm welcome to his new home, testify
ing their Christian love by furnishing his
house and by other substantial presents.
The Second church now relies entirely on
voluntary weekly contributions; there
are no pew rents nor pledges to pay.
The envelopes are not marked. The
singing is congregational.

a NEAEDERTHAL SKULL has been found at
klrchelm on the Eek. 1t is strongly dolicoceph-
allc, prognathic, and with heavy Jaw bones.
Quite handsomely adorned pottery, bones of the
cow, dog. wild boar, and sheep, were found with
it.-AmericGn Antiquarian.
1t was the original Neanderthal skull
which excited such grave discussion at
the meeting of the German savants at
Bonn in 1857 1t was believed to be the
oldest human skull ever discovered, and
DR.. Schaafhausen declared that its ex-
traordinary form was due to natural
conformation hitherto not known to exist,
even in the most barbarous races" 1t
constituted one of the main topics of dis
cussion in Mans Place in Nature" pub
lished by Prof. Huxley in 1864. He
pronounced it the most pithecoid of hui
man crania yet discovered" Sir Charles
Lyell also made it the subject of an elab-
crate discussion in his Antiquity of
Man"
1t was regarded as step towards the
discovery of the missing link"
We recall this discussion because the
new Neanderthal skull, referred to in the
above extract from the american Anti
quarian," was found in association with
the domesticated animals and handsome
pottery, which, even on the principles Of
prehistoric science, cannot have an an
tiquity of more than a few thousand
years.
The truth of the matter, at the same
time, is that. even in the so-called paleo-
lithic age-that of the cave-men and the
great extinct mammals-x-the human
skulls discovered have in general exhib-
tied development that is rather re-
markable, being fully equal to that of
the modern European skull.

CHAPEL HYMYs.-The pastor of the Fred

prayer meeting and Sunday School use OF
these, twelve are from the Psalms, and ninety
five from the hymns Of our Hymn Book, four
teen are from the Voice of Praise" nine from
the Gospel Hymns" and seventeen from other
sources. The object was:
/. A book for Sunday School use, containing
a large proportion Of the Psalms and Hymns
used in the church service, to be committed TO
memory, and to he sung by the children so
that the children may not be separated and
aliensted from the Church and its worship, but
trained and prepared for full participation
2 A careful selection Of hymns with choruses
specially suited to childrens singing and to mis-
sion meetings.
3. A book to be used in the prayer meetino,
Of the church, so that children and voutb NAV
have at such meetings the same book used in
the Sunday School
4. book so small and cheap, as to be with
In the means Of small churches and schools.
and to make it possible to present copies in
many cases to encourage attendance at week
day meetings
Prepared for local use, il has been suggested
that Chapel Hymns" might serve the same
ends in othen churches. The little book has
been stereotyped, and will be printed on good
paper at various prices.
