THE WORK or a COLLEGE.

In connection with the college enter
prise IN Emporia, the writer recalls with
pleasure some agreeable recollections of
s college town-Wooster, Ohio, which
is the seat of large university establish
ed under the auspices of the Presbyte-
rian church. The town, like Zion OF
old, is "beautiful for situation" but for
many years possessed no characteristics
which distinguished it from Il score or
more of other cities of the same magni.
tude in the old Buckeye state, in which
comfortable-living is the chief end Of
man, and an easy attainment of the &C
cessorIes to such an end is the most
potent stimulant TO effort.
The college came, and with il grad.
ual but wonderful revolution. The in.
fusion of the new elements which such
an institution must inevitably bring into
q town silently but surely accomplished
Its perfect work. The old incrusta
tions were broken up and the communi
ty which had held for years TO the ever
tenor of uneventful lives, rapidly sue
cumbed to the yitaliZing influence
which radiated il all directions from
the seat of learning which sits enthrOn
ed like an empress on a heaven kissing
hill above the city.
Families from all parts of the stat
moved TO the town to educate their chill

County horticultural society to hold

Lyon county soil, consisting of fruits,
flowers and vegetables. The exhibition

men-this presumption becomes so strong
that one would be almost prepared to
accept it without farther evidence, such
as miracles and prophecy.
Its adaptation to the aOantS Of man is
thus powerful argument for the truth
of Christianity. 1t exactly meets the
case. To devise religion which would
do this was no easy matter. AS is proved
by the fact that no other religion ever
has been devised which begins to meet
the case. A vague, and not a profound
sense of sin, characteristics the Greek or
the Hindu religion; but there is no pro-
vision to save the offender. 1t was i'm
possible for man to have provided even
in theory for such a Mediator. The an
cient religions also failed to provide for
the Regeneration of the human heart
without which man could not have en-
tered Heaven, even if his sins were for
given. The adaptation, therefore, of the
scheme to the case, constitutes a power
full presumption in its favor. The human
reason recognises the Son of God and the
Holy Spirit as necessary features in a
true religion.
Now let US suppose Quitting all the
miracles of the New Testament and the
prophecies of the Old out of the question:
that, in addition to this perfect respon-
siveness of Christianity to all the needs
of the case, it should have been tested for
many centuries submitted to actual ex-
pertinent, and that it should be discov-
cred, so far as human observation and
human testimony prove anything, that
men are actually regenerated and sa''cti-
fed, who submit to its claims, and how
much room would be left for doubling
that this is the true religion?

1T is always comfortable to have your
notes well endorsed. Last week we gave
our subscribers the name of the pastor of
the First Presbyterian church as a securi-
ty that they should receive the worth of
their money in the columns of the Gen.
trail Presbyterian.
Another friend has kindly put his
name on the note. On Sunday morning
last DIR. Hoge, at the Second church, re-
marked to the large audience assembled,
after referring to what occurred the Sun
day previous at the First church, that it
was singular coincidence that he had
intended on that same morning to call
the attention of his people to the Central
PreSbyteriam-but something prevented.
He then commended the paper in very
strong terms, and expressed his desire
that it should be circulated in every
family of his congregation.
We may add that this is not the first
time that DR.. Hoge has spoken of this
paper in the same kind way to his con-
gregation and that DR.. Read, at the
Grace Street church, and the Rev. Peyton
II. Hoge, at the Fourth church, have
done the same thing. AS have likewise
others in different parts Of this Synod,
while we have received very many COM
mendations by letter from every part of
the Church.
We feel natural qualification at these
manifestations of confidence and appro-
baton, and we need not say that we shall
spare no pains to make the Central wor-
thy Of the regard and good wishes Of the
whole Church.

How to Renew subscriptions.

Any old subscriber who will, with his
subscription, send the name of a new
subscriber, shall have the paper sent to
the two one year for SIS. If he will send
the names of two new subscribers the
paper will be sent to the three for ST.
If he will send the names of three new
subscribers the paper will be sent to the
four for $9 so.
Almost daily we receive letters from
subscribers who express the desire to have
the circulation of the Central PreSbyte-
stan greatly enlarged. These friends
can aid US by awaiting themselves of the
above offer, which we make as an induce
ment to assist in extending our circula-
ton and as small remuneration for the
work necessary to accomplish the end.
Quite a number of our subscribers
have already responded to this offer by
sending with their subscriptions the
names of new subscribers. We hope il
will be generally done.

REv1vALs.-Says the Christian Intel.
hgencer "It is a noteworthy fact that
many churches throughout the country
have been greatly revived during the
winter. Our exchanges continue to give
glowing accounts of a precious work OF
grace in many places. To some churches
over one hundred souls have been added.
In Decatur, ILL.,, more than one thousand
conversions are reported. Perhaps many
pastors and devoted laymen, while read
ing these reports, have asked themselves,
Why cannot we have a revival?' You
can, if you will work for it. We are apt,
in time Of religious sloth and spiritual
dearth and declension, to sing for re-
vival, and pray for it, and yearn for it,
and do everything in the world for it ex-
cept work for it, The first work is Just
that to which Hezekiah summoned the
priests and Levites and people-conies-
sion and reformation. The time to begin
is mOaO. The next prayer meeting should
be baptized with the Holy Ghost. 1t is
not necessary to wait even for that. Let
each one begin in private. Let the work
of self dedication begin in the closet, then
go forth and tell the story of the Cross to
the unsaved, and the revival will be al
ready begun"

REFERRING to the prisoners in Dub
lin, the Belfast Witness remarks: "And
the perpetrators of such diabolical deeds,
in so far as they have been discovered,
have all acknowledged the authority of
the Supreme Pontif himself. In SO far as
they have been brought to justice, they
have accepted the spiritual service of the
Pope's deputies, and have owned the
High Priest of the Vatican as their
guide, both in life and death. What are
we to think of system that can produce
such results ?"
Now herein is asked most pertinent
question "What are are we to think of
a system that can produce such results ?"
And more, what are we to think of a
system in which men of this sort can be
in good standing as Christian" ? What
evidence of change of heart does the
Roman Catholic religion require? To
be born in Italy is to constitute man a
good Catholic. To be born in Ireland is
to constitute man good Christian.
Are they Christians" in the same sense
that Paul was Christian, OF that Moody

In answer to the questions of our
young brother" &C. A. W. we will
only say that the Church no doubt needs
money as we'll as men ito meet the de-
mands upon her. 1t is aside from the
main point to determine, if it were posi-
BILE to do so, how much money she needs
or how many men. 1t is enough to say
that she greatly needs more men to fill
her vacant pulpits and supply her desti-
buttons. The cry comes from every part
of the land. AS to the request to furnish
"a little of the logic of facts and figures, 4"
it may be said that more than "a little"
has been already given, and it would
be easy to add a great number of names,
who, although not the equals of Angus
tine or Bunyan or Sturgeon or Moody,
have been called of God to preach the
Gospel and have been eminently success
full without the equipment of Hebrew or
Greek, which, however desirable, is not
essential. And the writer has personally
known quite number of men who
would have been glad to enter the minis
try, and were deferred by the peculiar
requirements of our book-men as well
educated as the mass of our preachers.
They were men who had entered upon
life. There are many men in whom is
awakened desire to preach the gospel
after it has become too late to enter upon
the study of philosophy or the ancient
languages men 25, 80, 40 years of age
and even younger.
