New York, Governor Morgan left $780,,
ENCOU RAGLNG NE WIS.

1t will be remembered that the last AS
sembly urged upon the churches the ne
cessity of raising the sum of 100000
during the present year for the cause of
Home Missions. The Executive Com
mittee, in their estimates, expressed the
hope that of this sum the churches of our
Virginia Synod would raise $4,000,
and the Synod, at its fall meeting, re-
solved that it would undertake to realise
this expectation.
We have cheering news from Lexing-
ton Presbytery. We are informed that
Lexington church has gone up from $S1
last year to $457; New Monmouth from
$l4 to 800; Bethel from $114 to $3.50 !;
Beverly from So to $50; Lebanon from
So to $79; Augusta from $3.50 to $129 !;
New Providence from Sol to $780, Be-
thesda from SIC to $50; etc., etc.
1t was calculated that of the $25, 900
to be raised in the bounds of the Virginia
Synod, Lexington Presbytery would con-
tribute S4,OOO. We hear that Y2, 800 ID
already in hand from this Presbytery,
and $500 more has been subscribed,
making SIS 200, with 20 churches to hear
from.
The Second church in this city CDR.
Hoge's) has forwarded $500 to Balti-
more, and expects to send more.
All this shows what can be done, and
is being done. Let the churches that
have not acted keep abreast of the move
ment, and if this liberal spirit shall char
acterise our whole Synod, the next Gen
eral Assembly will say to us Well done,
good and faithful servants of Virginia,
West Virginia, and Marylhd"
May we not hope that the 100000
will be forthcoming

UNDER the heading of Current Crit
cism," the Herald and Pre8Jyter, of Gin.
cinnati, says:
One not very positive symptom appeared for
o time, that excited some fear for the outcome.
A few, very few, sent out signs that the con-
troversy might run in a line between the former
Old and New School When DR.. Hodge gave
out in the 'Presbyteridn Quarterly that the n =
view belonged to the seminaries, and the editors
had arranged for discussion, and that Prince
ton was stable, which might mean that some
other seminary might not be so, we thought we
saw cloud as big as the palm OF mans hand ;
and when an ex-professor published that Lane
and Union were following Wellhausen, and
were willing TO have it understood, the prospect
grew no better especially in view also of the
sharp adverse criticism by the New York Fran
gettst upon the General Assembly Of 1882 for
p|suming to warn the seminaries against the
destructive criticism, and ITS funereal lamenta-
ton and protest against the Free Church Of
Scotland, for setting aside, as theological pro-
lessor, Robertson Smith, who is pronounced one
Of the greatest men Of the age Other little
specks appeared on the horizon. but the heav-
ems are brighter now. The former New School
are, If possible, the most pronounced against the
new criticism, and have written most emphat-
ically and sharply. If there shall be any ac-
ton on the subject the next General Assem-
bly,, we have not adoubt that it will be as de-
cided and harmonious as that at Springfield

WE receive great many letters speak
ing in kind and fattering terms of our
paper, which we have RETAINED from
publishing, though our interest has
prompted us often to do so.
The public reference from his pulpit
on Sunday last of the Rev. DIR. Preston
OF the First church in this city to the
Central Presbyterian is in a different
category, and requires our acknowledge
ments. There is no minister whose COM
mendation we value more, and none
whose Judgment would be more highly
esteemed in the whole Church.
DIR. Preston took occasion to call the
attention of his people to this paper, and
to express his desire that it might find
its way into every household in his con-
gregation. He spoke of the Importance
OF taking religious paper, and said that
he found the Central Presbyterian of
more value than any thing that came to
his table. The summary Of Missionary
intelligence, he said, was better than he
found anywhere else, and he did not
know OF any paper that was so well cal
culated to confirm the faith of Christians
or to awaken the attention of those who
were not Christians to the Importance of
religion. He said that he knew of no
publication at so cheap rate whose cir
culation among congregation would
contribute so much aid to the pastor and
the officers of a church in the efficient
discharge of their duties. He concluded
by expressing, as we have remarked,
strong desire to see the paper in the
hands of every family in his church. All
OF which is gratifying and encouraging
to us.

IF you ha, entered on the Christian
course, one simple rule will be

certain po' of time, each day, to
devotion a eiigious reading. One
hour spent way every day will
make vast srence in your religious
character. are not limiting any one
to an hour trouble is that many
nourish the hristian life on ten or
fifteen minut 'er day. Of course, they
languish; of urse, they never come
within bow-shot of the perfect man in
Christ Jesus. Growth in religion makes
demands or your attention; it involves
work, II ever study the Epistle

no inco Die time to master that.
Get Hoo, mailer commentary (the
big one, ii yo4 like strong meat, and
study it. Or get Alexander on the Acts,
and study at. Read the biography or the
journal of men and women eminent for
piety-Chalmers, John Newton, Arch
bishop Leighte :, Henry Martyr, Edward
Payson, Thomas Adam, Miss Havergal
Elizabeth Prenhss, George Muller. BIZ
ography is wonderfully strengthening,
and'persons who read in this way soon
begin to take in that religion demands a
very considerable portion of their time,
if they would be alive and not dead in
their profession of Christianity.
The mass of men-Christian men-do
not read in this way-they have not
time'-they have to go down the street
or to see about the stock. Women,
who are much more impressible than
men, read religious books much more
than they do-and hence (this is one rea-

women than men in the Church. The
books set them to thinking, and to self

1T says, was the product of the seminaries the
popular preacher of the newspapers. The
formula for making popular preacher is, one

DR.. Deems, in the Christian Weekly, says {:
M. Renan is reported to have said. We are
living on the perfume of an empty vase. Our
children will have to live on the shadow of a
shadow. Their children, tear, will have to
live on something lesq."
1t would be almost cruelty to ask this bril-
liant writer who they are that have emptied the
vase, and who they are that have spent their
strength in taking the substance out of all bu-
man life so that nothing but shadows should be
left But should he be spared that keen cues
ton, unless he frankly repent and employ the
remainder of his life in faboring to neutralize
the poison he has so insdiously injected into
society, and which now infects him and produce,

IT will be seen from a statement of the
legacies Of the late Governor Morgan, of
New York, published elsewhere, that he
bequeathed 100000 to the Board Of
Foreign Missions Of the Northern Pres

Board Of Home Missions. We published
last week thaS William E. Dodge had
left the sum Of $4,000 to each Of these
Boards. To Union Theological Seminary,

ALTHOUGH the power of the Church is
not to be estimated by the number Of
members, yet the Church which most ele-
Yates the standard Of piety should for
that very reason strive to extend its in

The Church which says that it is adapt

thereby proclaims its own impotency and
casts reproach on itself.
