For the Central Presbyterian.
Presbytery of North Mississippi

Convened at Batesville, Miss, on the
9th of April, at 7:3O P. M.
All the ministerial members were pre-
sent except one, and nine ruling elders.
The opening sermon was preached by
Rev. II. M. Sydenstricker, the last Mod
orator present, from Romans viii 16.
Rev. R. II. Crozier was chosen Mod
orator, and elder Scruggs, temporary
Clerk.
Rev. R. w. Mecklin was dismissed to
the Presbytery of Central Mississippi,
Rev. T. D. Latimer to the Presbytery of
Chickasaw, and Rev. S. l. Reid to the
Presbytery of Arkansas.
Rev. D. O. Rankin was received from
the Presbytery of Abingdon, and Rev.
j. w. Anderson from the Presbytery of
Eastern Texas.
Rev. Angus Johnson, from the Presby-
terry of st. John, was granted permission
to labor within the bounds of the Pres
bytery until next meeting.
The overture sent down from the Gen
eral Assembly was decided in the afirma-
tive by vote of 16 to 2.
Rev. D. K Mcfarland having received
a call to the First. church. Little Rock,
Ark, asked Presbytery to dissolve the
pastoral relation between him and the
Oxford church. After hearing the COM
missioners from both churches, Presby-
terry refused to dissolve the relation.
A call from Holly Springs church was
placed into the hands of Rev. D. G. Ran
kin, which was accepted, and the third
Sabbath in April was appointed as the
day for his installation. Rev. 81. M.
Sydenstricker to preach the sermon, pro-
pound the constitutional questions, and
charge the people; Rev. j. G. Carothers
to charge the pastor.
Commissioners to the Assembly: Rev.
II. M. Sydenstricker and ruling elder A.
g. Buford, principals, with Rev. II. A.
Caldwell and Prof. Fulton, alternates
The free conversation on the state of
religion showed considerable progress
during the last year. Large numbers
have been added to some of the churches.
There is, however, large portion of the
field destitute and vacant.

ers, 1 cannot find the date of DR.. Harris
connection with the College, but am in
clined to think that he ante dates Col.
McRae. From the best information l
can get, think at least fifty and perhaps
more of our alumni reside in Richmond.
1t would be goodly sight to see them
all together and to feel that their hearts
still beat fresh and warm towards the
old College If you, Mr.. Senior Editor,
will arrange for such meeting shall
esteem 1t privilege to be allowed to
attend it. Such periodical gathering
would not only be pleasant but produc-
tive of great good. Talk to DR.. Hoge,
Prof. Winston and others of our men and
see if the thing cannot be done soon.
We have five students from Richmond,
which is an increase of two over last
year. This is gratifying but not satisfy
ing, for we would like to have dozen
or two of your boys. Our friends can
help US by looking out for steady and
studious youths and turning their atten.
ton this way. We do not desire num-
bers for their own sake, but too things
are essential to extend the influence and
usefulness of college, viz, students and
money. Give US these and our Board of
Trustees and Faculty will see that Hamp-
den Sidney is made all that its friends
desire, and that the state of the Church
and country demands.
1t is evident from an inspection of our
catalogue that the influence of the Col
lege is by no means merely or even chief
ly local. Not only do our students come
from all parts of our own State but forty
two are from seven other States. West
Virginia sends twenty-five, Texas eight,
Maryland five, &c. We are thus help
ing to mould the men who are to mould
public sentiment, and control public
affairs throughout our Southern country.

any new organizations founded In our

How then are they to get preaching
And if they can't get preaching, what
good will it do to organize them? If
any one feels any interest in these ques-
tons, let him think of them in connec-

strain from running into that old tune OF

trails creating discord in the music, I
would glide into that tune. But what
are we going to do about that $4,000?
and if we don't get that, what are we
going to do with our candidates ? and if
they fail us, what are we going to do
about preachers? And without preach

questions till these are answered. In

increase in the number reported each
year falls very much below what the
number of new organizations would lndl-
cate after deducting the number reported
as dissolved or dismissed to other demon
nations. The actual increase OF church
es during the past five years has been
l65. The number organized during the
same time was 256. The number dis
missed to other denominations and dis
solved as reported, was lOl, leaving an
increase of Isl, instead of 65, as given
in the aggregate. We infer, therefore,
that sc churches more than were reported
in the Minutes, must have died out or
been dismissed to other denominations
In other words we have lost during the
last FIVE years Isl churches And there
is scarcely doubt but these have been
starved to death under our system. Does
not this call for some action?
Cd. The need of the work, In our own
and other Churches, is pressing into SER
vice lay preachers and lay workers In
various spheres of Christian work, to do
Just what the Church was organized and
appointed to do. Christian Associations,
Guilds, and various organizations outside
of the Church, and in no sense subject to
its control, are doing work which, If we
believe the Church to be divine organ
ization, it was not onl y commissioned to
do, but is in every way best fitted for
doing, and is responsible to Christ, the
head of the Church, for doing. Volun-
tary societies are rendering services that
Christ appointed his Church to render.
They are virtually ordaining preachers
and conducting religious services for
mally, Just because the churches fail.
Is there no danger in this? Is there
any safeguard against doctrinal error or
unwise measures such as the Salvationists
employ? Under some system such as
proposed, our own Church could direct
and guide these efforts in great measure,
and employ the material in her own
membership in work that would accord
with her own views of propriety and the
teaching of Scripture.
Sd. We are in fact forced in not few
cases to accept the volunteered services
of laymen who are not responsible to us,
or under our supervision, to do the work
which we have abundant means to do
under our ecclesiastical system.
4th. 1t might possibly be objected to
this plan that it would require men to
be taken from their pastoral charges to do
it, and would therefore create new va
cancies. But the advantage arising from
the establishment of worship in SO many
places now destitute, would far exceed
any disadvantage of this kind.
This very imperfect discussion of the
subject is offered in its present form
rather than risk wearying the reader
with a long discussion, and in the hope
that it may be the means of awakening
interest and inquiry ON subject that
seems to me to be the vital question with
our Southern Presbyterian Church at this
time. Ne QUIs MINIS.

Take the Presbytery as whole, and we
will average as much poverty as can be
found anywhere outside of the poor
house. Since l have known the Presby-
terry, our churches have never given as
much as 800 to any one object of Chris

even to Foreign Missions, which has
hitherto held the first place in their
hearts. But we have already raised In

Do You Think to Pray

Ere you left your room this morning,
Did you think to pray2
In the name of Christ, our Saviour,
Did you sue for loving favor
AS shield to-day?
When you met with great temptations,
Did you think to pray2
BY his dying love and merit
Did you claim the Holy Spirit
AS your guide and stay?
When your heart was filled with anger,
Did you think to pray2
Did you plead for grace, my brother,
That you might forgive another
Who had crossed your way?
When sore trials came upon you,
Did you think to pray2
When your soul was bowed with sorrow.
Balm of Gilead did you borrow
At the gates of day ?
