this impression is erroneous. The New

dearth of preachers, very truly says
that Preabyterians are as good AS any
other sect. They have numerous
churches, plenty of money, and a ,nf-
IiCirucy Of colleges and ScmiuarlcS that
make IL speciality OF preparing men for
the ministry. What, then, is the reason
that there is a famine Of preachers? Per
hap5 Presbyterian theology is too com

Perhaps Presbyterian ministers sala-

IucOmDetent witness.

| In u suit before Judge Elcock, of
Philadelphia, On Friday last, it was
ruled tha a ran named Bpckle was
incompetent to testify, because he did
believe in a personal God or in future
reward and punishment. This ruling is
based on precedents, and it may be
sustained by the Judges in every Court
in each one of the States of the [ nion,
yet il strikes us 10 be unwise and I'M
Just. The object should be in trying
case to draw out the facts bearing upon
it, so thai justice luay be done to all the
parties Interested The question Of
mans belief should not be made IA srst
Of his Credibilty, unless it can be
shown that professions of religion and
a belief IN creede, keep men from lying
and stealing, while men who entertain
intidel sentiments cannot tell the truth
under any circumstances whatever
The Credibility OF witnesses should
depend upon their character for veraCity
and not upon any theory or doctriue
The atheist or dcist might tell the truth
despite hiss unbeliet, and in case Of
possession Of knowledge Of facts affect
ing the interest Of either party tOa suit,
the same should b. laid before jury
who could judg. If its reliability or
worthlesSness. \ mans character and
standing in the community should be
weighed rather than his creed, and it
should determine the weight or relia-
bility Of his declarations in regard to
all matters. BY the erection of another
standard Of action, grave injustice i'll
some cases might possibly be done.
The old law in our State excluding tn.
