the way of substantial relief. The very
wisest, or the very richest, man is OF
no use to the soul that is about to take
its flight across the great abyss.
We need in life, and we need as the
shadows of night fall upon our career
in life, solid support; support for the
deepest part of our nature, which is our
moral and our religious nature.
Man needs HELP; he needs the help
of superior INTELLIGENT BEING; he
needs the help of superior MORAL Ma
TURE; he needs POWER; heneeds TRUTH
he needs UPRIGHTNEss he needs TEN,
DERNEss; he needs LOVE. He needs
help in the form of a PERSONALITY; he
needs DIVINE HELP but he needs ever
more; he needs HUMAN SYMPATHY; and
all these are found combined in such 8
friend as the INcARNATE Son.

AHMED SULEIMAN, the False Prophet,
who is making such stir just now in
the Soudan, is very matter-offact
prosaic sort Of character when we get
at him. He is an Egyptian by birth.
He was formerly in the service of the
Government and held the office of Ac-
countant General in Soudan. He was
pupil of Riffal Bey, who was princi-
pal of the school of the Khedive Abbas
In Soudan. He was fond of French
literature, and admired the advanced
views of the French political writer's,
and published a book, of which the
motto was, He who rules as a tyrant
is undermining his own power"
We find him in course of time active
ly engaged in business as slave dealer,
in partnership with certain European
houses, in connection with which he
carried on also a traffic in elephants
tusks, gum arabic, and ostrich feathers.
When England concluded the treaty
with the ex-Khedive Ismail for the
suppression of the slave trade, Ahmed
became the principal object of attack
from Raouf Pasha, Governor of Soudan.
They attempted to arrest him, but he
defeated the troops who were sent after
him, in consequence of which victory
he was chosen chief by the slave
dealers.
Subsequently, after the deposition OF
Ismail Pasha, the new President of the
Egyptian ministry, Riaz Pasha, brand.
ed Ahmed with the name of the "False
Mahdi." But his followers, who had
already mooted the question, protested
Immediately to find fulfilled in his per,
son the signs of the true Mahdi. Four
thousand persons who had been ex-
PEELED by Riaz Pasha from Egypt, raj
lied under his flag, and he was about
to join Arab Bey at Alexandria, when
that chieftain's rebellion collapsed
How wide is the gulf between Moham-
mechanism and Christianity-be between
error and truth-between the Moham-
medan and the Christian ideal of the
Messiah!

PRESBYTERIAN SYNoDs.-A couple of
years ago, says the Catholic Presbyterian,
the Presbyterian Church (North) enacted
that Its various Sypods should be confer
mlnous with their respective States. This,
OF course, greatly reduced the number of
Synods but increased their size. At
present the Synod of New York consists
OF more than eight hundred ministers;
that of Pennsylvania consists of about
thousand. To call a body consisting of
one thousand ministers and as MANY
elders Synod" is rather PERI licking to
most minds. The unwieldiness of such
large bodies has forced on these courts
themselves The necessity of considering
whether they should continue to be as
hitherto, general bodies composed of all
the members of the constituent Presby-
teries, or should become delegated, that
is, representative bodies. During the Fall
meetings of the Synods this has been, in
most cases, the only burning question "
before them, and those whose size is so
colossal have determined with the utmost
unanimity to become delegated. This
opens new phese in American ecclesi-
astical politics. Either the Synods will
not go out altogether, or else they will
become active bodies, practically Pro-
vincial Assemblies, and in SO far draw
to themselves something of the prestige
and power now enjoyed by the General
Assembly. If this be the result, then a
movement already getting somewhat pop
ular for reducing of the size of the
Assembly will probably lead to the hold
ing of its sessions triennially rather than
annually, with what ultimate result it is
not easy to forecast.

WHETHER or not the sun he do move" it ia
certain that Rev. John Jasper's congregation
do move" they having seeded and formed
another church, leaving Rev. Mr.. Jasper con-
gregation OF less than Observation-Disclosures at
Work.
This is all mistake DIR. Jasper
hourishes as strong as ever. There was
some little trouble in his church recent
ly, but the Doctor triumphed over all
malcontents, and only some fifteen or
twenty members seeded. 1t is evident
that the Christian at Work holds differ
ent astronomical views from DR.. Jasper
and was rather pleased at the idea of the
collapse of the Jasper theory.

THERE seems to be an unusual hustle
among the Roman Catholics in this
country. Among other things the Pope
has presented life-size portrait of him
self to Archbishop Gibbons, of Balti-
more-a very important fact
1t is commentary on human nature
that just at time when Romanism is
almost in a putrescent condition in
Italy and Spain, it should flare up with
new impulse in England and America.
The system of Rome, like the Devil,
is in the human heart, and it is very
hard to get it out. 1t turks in hearts
that have no nominal connection with
Rome. There is right-mindedness in
this world, and wrong-mindedness
There are straight sticks and crooked
sticks. And so it will be to the end
until the tares are divided from the
wheat.

THE NEW YEAR opens with the roar
OF artillery. 1t is definitely settled now
that there is to be war between France
and China, and the Egyptian garrison
at Khartoum [the centre of the great
caravan routes from the interior of AZ
rica) has commenced its retreat to-
wards the first cataract of the Nile.
These wars cannot but develop far
reaching consequences. Europe is be-
ing brought more and more into coils
ion and contact with Asia and Africa.
Egypt may now be regarded as part
OF the British Empire. France will
probably batter down another panel of
the Chinese wall. We shall probably
have busy year, and as the century
draws to close, the curtain rises ON
the prospects of events of larger pro-
portions and involving larger results
than almost any in the previous history
of the world.

IT is claimed that the Syrian Church,
otherwise known as the st. Thomas Chris
tians In Southern India, has undergone
considerable reformation within the last
thirty years. According to an account
published by themselves there is reform
party whose hope it is to bring back the
Church to scriptural purity, to over
throw the worship of Mary, the invoca-
ton of saints and prayers for the dead;
also to introduce the custom of praying
in an ineligible language. The Word
of God is read in the vernacular in
their churches "Still, much remains to
he done" says correspondent of the
Church Missionary znte5dgemcer, "to
bring these people to high evangelical
ground"

THREE SIGNIFICANT FAoTs.-Vol-
taire's House is now used by the Ge-
neva Bible Society as Repository for
Bibles.
The British Bible Society's house in
Earl street, Blackfriars, stands where,
in 1873, the Council forbade Wycliffe cir
culating portions of Holy Scriptures,
and where he uttered the words, "The
truth shall prevail" and the Religious
Tract Society's premises are where
Bibles were publicly burned.
A large hall, says Rev. Henry
Loomis, was begun in Toxic by the OPP
ponents OF Christianity, and it was pro
posed by series of lectures to destroy
its power in Japan. Before the build
ing was completed the founders ofythe
enterprise disagreed, and it passed into
other hands. This was the place where
Joseph Cook dealt such fatal blows to
intidelity, and it was also used for a
series of lectures by some of the ablest
men in Japan in defence of Christianity

The recent Missionary Convention
of Medical Students at Chicago was in
some respects remarkable one-S0O
medical students meeting together for
several hours, to hear of foreign mis-
sions and personal conservation to
Christ's service. They must have re-
ceived some good impressions. At a
devotional meeting at $50 P. M-after
DIR. Jessup had spoken for over an hour
and the congregation was dismissed
more than 100 students withdrew to
another room and spent half an hour
in prayer and conference, led by Rev.
Mr.. Wishard and Mrs. Rhea. 1t is said
to have been q deeply solemn meeting.
DR.. Henry Scudder spoke in the p. NJ.
session, and answered questions, and
was very effective. Eighty young fe-
male medical students were present.

NOT many years ago missionary
work suffered from persecution in
Tripoli, but lately when the Rev. Sam
uel Jessup was called to leave that sta
ton for Beirut, the leading Moslems
Greeks, and Maronites, proposed to
unite in a petition to the missionary
authorities to have him retained among
them. A faithful service of twenty
years or more, during which the truth
of Christianity had not only been
preached, butFalso illustrated in many
forms of kindness and true philan
throphy, had proved living evangel
"known and read of all men,"

IHE Interior undertakes to explain
that description it gave of itself when
it came out on Christmas day "arrayed
In purple and fine linen" 1t saws in
the use Of those words there was no al
fusion to "Dives," but that the { .ure
was drawn from the description of the
tabernacle given in the twenty-fourth
of Genesis" il Nays the Central Pres
bytertan oughsto live known this, and
it fears we have fallen into "the new
departure of peglecting the Old Tesla
ment." 1t saws:
Let them reae with reper lance and confusion
OF face these words, . .ich begin in the twenty
fourth of Genesi,: Moreover thou shalt maxi
he tabernacle v. til ten curtains (1he Interior
had sxteen) of inc twined linen and blue and
purple and scarlet, auth CHERUBIM of canning
'oork shalt thou make them" That was the
model, to dot Dives" indeed
I'VE have looked into the twenty
fourth of Genesis" and find no such
words That chapter gives an account
of a journey of one of Abraham's SER
wants into sMesopotamia. We are afraid
it is the editors of the Interior who have
"fallen into a new departure" and are
"neglecting their Old Testament" 1t
was only six weeks ago that we pointed
out the remarkable statement made by
the Interior that "David was a man
after Gods own heart; and so far as
we know of Absalom Jonathan was
the person the Interior was looking for.
for it had just spoken of "the frtendshtp
of David and Absalom"1 he also was a
thoroughly religious man." Which
item of news it also professed to have
gotten from "the Old Testament,
though we could never find it. Those
Western Bibles must be different from
ours.
But this is not all: the tabernacle, to
which the Interior now compares itself,
had ten curtains, and it would appear
from the above extract that the copy
of the Interior had siCteen. This shows
how little real resemblance there is be-
tween that venerable sanctuary of God
and the modern Chicago paper. "See,
saith he, that thou make all things ac-
cording to the pattern showed to thee
in the mount" Now it is very evident
that our new Moses has not gotten up
his tabernacle on this basis: he has
added six new curtains. And yet he
boasts that that was the model "to a
dot" There are great many changes
on the old tabernacle introduced into
the new. A great many.
In the old tabernacle the last direc-
ton required, "And thou shalt make
for the hanging five pillars Of sbittim
wood and overlap them with gold
. and thou shalt cast five sockets of
brass for them" We sec a resemblance
here.

AN INDIAN MISSIONARY ApDREs

AN INDIAN MISSIONARY ADDRESS,
AT missionary meeting John Sunday,
an Ojibway preacher, in closing an adj
dress, spoke as follows: "There is a
gentleman who, 1 suppose, is now in
this house. He is very fine gentle
man, but very modest one. He does
not like to show himself at these meet
ings. do not know how long it is
since / have seen him, he comes out so
little. [ am very much afraid that he
sleeps good deal of the time, when he
ought to be out doing good. His name
is Gold. Mr., Gold, are you here to-
night, or are you sleeping in your iron
chest? Come out Mr.. Gold, come out,
and help us do this great work, to
preach the gospel to every creature.
All, Mr.. Gold, you ought to be ashamed
of yourself to sleep so much in your
iron chest. Look at your white broth
er, Mr.. Silver; he does a great deal of
good while you are sleeping. Come
out, Mr.. Gold. Look, too, at your lit
tie brown brother, Mr.. Copper; he is
everywhere. Your poor little brown
brother is running about doing all that
he can to help us. Why don't you
come out, Mr.. Gold? Well, if you
wont show yourself, send us your shirt
that is, a bank-note. That is all
have to say"
John Sunday, referred to above, was
chief of the Ojibway Indians in Canada.
He died very recently. He was con-
verified by that apostle of Methodism in
Canada, Elder VIM SCase. John Sun
day visited England on some occasion
as the representative of his tribe, where
he attracted great attention. He is
said to have been a man of remarkable
shrewdness, and distinguished as a
story-teller. There is an account. OF
him with a portrait) in the January
number Of Frank Lesltes SUNDAY Mag

The REV. ROBERTSON SMITH, as we
learn by cable, has written ga brief
Commentary on Genesis" and intends
shortly to publish popular critical re-
view of the Old Testament" We sus-
pect he got beyond his depth when he
entered the waters of Genesis. But the
India-rubber School are never embar-
raised. The more plumbers they dis
cover the brighter the criticism.

The character of the French people
is strongly illustrated by a statement
which we see in one of our exchanges
to the effect that "thirty per cent of
the suicides in France take place in
cafes, and after the intending suicide
has first partaken of a hearty meal"
What an unsettled state of society
this implies what Bohemian way of
passing ones existence. No home life :;
no Bible; no Christian mothers.
