learn that the steamer had excellent

We know the first reading, which makes
organic matter the basis of the figure, is
not correct, for we do not return to or

The Session of the Birst Presbyterian

l. The Curriculum of any regular the
illogical seminary is important enough
and sufficiently extended, to demand all
the time of any student in three wears
course.
2. If it be deemed advisable that the
relation of Natural Science to Revela-
ton should be taught in a theological
seminary, we hold that more reliable and
more scriptural views are apt to be given
by those whose studies and habits of
thought lead them to look at scientific
theories from scriptural standpoint,
than by those who look at the Bible from
the shifting standpoint of science, false
ly so called"
3. The design of this Professorship. as
formulated for the adoption of the SYNOD.
and as adopted by this SYNOD in 1859
was in these words x x "the DESIGN
of which shall be to evince the harmony
OF science with the records of orr faith
and to refute the objections of inGdei
naturalists." While quoting this design
in his 4" Inaugural Address" delivered in
1861, Prof. Woodrow, the l." Perkins Pro-
lessor, used this language in another adj
dress published in 1884 May it not be
that we have here a representation of the
probable relations between the Bible and
Sclence-that their contents are so en-
tlrei y different that it is vain and mis-
Leading to be searching for harmonies,
and that we should confne our efforts to
the examination of real or seeming con-
tradlctions," etc. To us this seems a
radical change of design on the part of
Prot. Woodrow, as to the original pur-
pose of the chair itself.
3. We believe that irreparable damage
has been done to Columbia Seminary and
to our Church at large, by recent discus
slons growing out of the Address of Prof.
Woodrow on Evolution; and that the
best antidote for such insidious poison is
to abolish the chair which gives its i'm
prlmatur to DR.. Woodrow's theories.

They Neither Toll nor Spin.

BY MRS. MARGARET E. sANGSTER.
They neither toll nor spin; they wear
Their loveliness without care
As pure as when the Masters feet
Were set amid their perfume sweet.
The summer hills rejoice to see
Their oarven censers swinging free.
They wait within the gates of dawn
Till all the watching stars are gone,
Then open cups of honey dew,
To greet the morn's returning hue.
Oh, fair, wise virgins, clothed in white,
Oh, lilies, fresh from looms of light,
dearly love you, for the word
That stars you, noted of the Lord.
1 love you when, in gold and red,
The sunset colors Ger you spread;
Or when, like fairy sails of snow,
The river rocks you to and fro.
You are the Masters flowers to me;
His smile upon your grace L see.
My transient discontents hush
If but my garments hem ye brush.
And everywhere your fragrance brings
This message from the King of kings
I'VE neither toll nor spin; and ye
Who spin SO long and YEARLY,
who toll amid earth's CRIME and dust,
Behold-a hallowed arc of trust
"Oh, pause and hear the Father say
His angels are your guides to day
While worlds in matchless order move,
Ye shall not slip from sovereign love;
"For he who bids the planets sweep,
Cares for the tiniest babe asleep"
