Mr.. H. G. Henderson, who took
with him to England in 1888, SAINT
plies of the refuse &c. of the St. Croix
Central Factory available by the
Planters for manure, has kindly fur
nlshcd us with the Report of an Eng.
fish Government Analyst on the same.
One of the most striking points
seems to be the amount OF sugar still
contained in The molasses, which is
large indeed when compared with the
small loss under IS 0lo extraction of
sugar from the juice under the new
strontia process of Colonel Sir Francis
Bolton and NJ. Hippolyte Leplay as
carried out in the new Beet Sugar
Factory in England.
The Analysts Report should prove
very useful to our Planters.

Two very noted men have visited
our city lately-Mr. d. l.. Moody and
Mr.. Henry Ward Beecher. AS expo
nents of religious thought they are al
most the antipodes of each other. Mr..
Moody came in the spirit of an apostle.
He left on all the churches and on all
the people who heard him an impress
sion that will be of lasting benefit.
MIR. Beecher came to lecture on
Evolution and Revolution" The best
that can be said of him is that if he
has done no harm, it is because nobody
can accept such halfinfidel, half
Christian religion as be proposes.

A Revival Longed For.

DIR. K. W. Dale expresses himself in The Pres
bytcrldn on this subject after a manner that will
wsken an echo in every truly consecrated heart.
lie says: " The religious revival we ought to
pray for Is a revival that shall affect the morals
OF the church as well as it's worship and religi-
Gus sentiment and ennoble the whole life of
those who bear the Christian name The power
OF the church depends quite as much on the
steadiast justice, the courageous truthfuness, the
tender mercy of Christian people, as on the
soundness Of their creed and the fervor of their
religious zeal
long TO see the day when the faith of the
church shall be so strong that the promises of
God will be the adequate consolation of all
Christian people IN their earthly sorrows and
when the great hope Of immortal glory will fill
their hearts with perpetual gladness and their
lips with a perpetual song when the church
will be inspired with more fervent love and
thankfulness in the presence Of the cross Of
Christ, and with = more passionate loyalty to
His throne, when worship will cease to be a
weariness and when in prayer all Christian men
Will approach God with perfect confidence in His
power and willingness to answer them But l
also long TO zee the time when the church will
discover In the teaching and example Of Christ
the outlines Of a far diviner morality when the
nobest natural ethics will look poor and dim
compared with the idea Of perfection for which
the church will strive, and which in the strength
Of the Spirit Of God it will largely fulfil when
the equity, trutAiulness, frankness, courage in-
dustry patience, temperance, self sacrifice, pub
he spirit, gentleness, charity Of those who bear
the Christian name will be a perpetual demon
stratlon Of the power Of the Holy Ghost"

The Christian q ondon) of March 18th,
says: Few inquiries go more to the
heart of the question of Evolution than
that of Primeval Man discussed last
week at the Victoria Institute. That
Prlmeval man was rude and uncivilised
Is a necessity of the Darwinian theory.
But there is a total absence Of historical
evidence that this was mans first condi-
ton, or that man, left to himself, has ever
risen out of savage state. 1t is well
that this aspect of the question is coming
to the front. The believers in Genesis
have everything to gain by it.
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1885-03-25

CnrlStlan. lie QlSclalmed all bellef In
everything like debt paying atone
ment. In fact we do not remember
that he mentioned the name of Christ,
except in the most casual manner.
He spoke Of miracles and prayer,
but in way to convey the idea that
he did not believe in either in the or
thodox sense. He ridiculed the prayers
that are ordinarily offered by Chris.
tians. The churches and revivals of
religion he also ridiculed, and he left
the impression on our mind Though
he did not state it explicitly that he
does not believe in Regeneration or in
the Holy Spirit, except, perhaps, in q
very vague sense. His idea of the way
of salvation seems to be that it lies in
character and good works, not in faith
in Jesus Christ.
We took some very rough notes of
the lecture, and from these and from
memory we reproduce the substance of
what was said. We do not pretend to
verbal accuracy, but we have not failed,
we are sure, to give fair reflection of
the address in thought and language,
The lecture was not calculated to
give one a high idea of Mr.. Beecher's
profundity or even ability. 1t was a
flimsy rehash of the Popular Science
Monthly and the EXTREMIST heterodoxy
of the radical wing of the New Eng
land churches Mr.. Beecher has a bad
face-and as he stood there denounc
ing the churches and all that Chris
tians have been taught to revere, look
ing to gather applause from the ele
ment that was hostile to the churches,
we felt that it was one of the most re-
pulsive exhibitions that we had ever
witnessed. Mr.. Ingerson hoists the
deaths head and the cross bones of the
Pirate; Mr.. Beecher sails under the
Christian flag, and speaks to the peo-
pie in priestly robes. In the fierce and
assault on the churches
and the evangelical theology there is
very little difference between the two
men.
He is not a profound man. He is
not a learned man. His address on
this occasion was not above the plane
of the mob, and we do not think he is
capable of addressing with effect an
assembly of well-informed men. His
appeal was always to the baser element
of the audience, and he is full of stage
tricks-in short, mere stump-speaker,
and not an expounder of philosophy,
which he aspires to be.
Two of the most eminent lawyers in
this city, neither of them professor of
religion, said they were thoroughly dis
gusted with his performance, and one
of them remarked to us that he felt
that even he, ignorant as he was Of
such matters, if he had had the priv
lege of reply, could have torn the adj
dress into ribbons-that it was def
cient in logic, deficient in information,
and wholly unworthy of a man of rep
utation. He commented particularly
on the happiness of Mr.. Beecher's H.
Illustrations, and contrasted him with
Moody in this respect.
Our impression from what we wit
messed is that Mr.. Beecher, if he lives
ten years, will be alongside of Ingersoll.
lie appears to be delivering this lee.

Rev. j. @. MCCLUNG, whose extreme
illness was mentioned in this paper
last week, had already died before the

there on Sunday the 18th inst. Mr.
McClung was a graduate of Washing

Theological Seminary. He was licen.
tate Of Lexington Presbytery and, if
he had lived, he would have been called
to the pastorato of the Gordonsville
church, whore he had been preaching
acceptably to the people
The students Of Union Theological
Seminary, upon hearing of his death,
adopted the following resolutions:
RESOLVED, Let That while we deeply mourn
the apparently untimely death of our dear
brother, we yet bow in submission to the will
Of Him who doeth all things we'll.
End. That in his death we have Lost friend
and brother who had endeared himself to us by
his sincerity, bis manhness, and bis deep and

Of being an able and faithful laborer 10 the
vineyard Of the Lord.

PROPHECY

Joseph Cook singles out four pro
phecies which be alleges infdelity has
never attacked with the slightest sue
cess.
The first is that with regard to
Abraham and his seed. "a chosen
man called out of Ur of the Chaldees,
was to become the head of a chosen
family, and his chosen family chosen
nation, and out of that chosen nation
was to spring forth chosen leader, to
found chosen church to fill the earth"
Now apply this to any man but
Abraham, and nothing can be made of
it. Apply it to Abraham, and preceded
by the Hebrew history for two thou
sand years, we have Christ and the
Christian Church-the greatest fact in
history.
The second prophecy singled out by
him is that predicting the dispersion of
the Jews, and their preservation as a
distinct race among the nations.
Principal Cairns aflirms that there
is not in all history a more prophetic
word than this:
"Thou shalt become an astonish-
ment, and byword among all nations
whittier the Lord shall lead thee. The
Lord shall scatter thee among all peo-
pie from the one end of the earth even
unto the other deuteronomy xviii (:
81, 64)
We all remember Gas alluded to by
Mr.. Cook the answer of the chaplain
of Frederic the Great when asked by
the monarch for a short proof of the
reality of prophecy-"The Jews, your
majesty"
The third prophecy selected is that
which fills so large space especially
in Isaiah and the Psalms, that a Mes
siah was to come, who should found a
universal spiritual kingdom. Look at
Christianity today, spreading gradual
ly, but surely, over the whole earth.
The fourth is the prophecy of our
Lord himself concerning the ultimate
and all-conquering character Of his
kingdom.
81, if | be lifted up, will draw all
men unto me-" "The stone cut out of
the mountain shall fill the whole earth
Christ uttered this, and assembled to
heaven without writing one solitary
line. He died and vanished from the
earth, and left no book behind him.
After his death, silently like the opera
tions of Nature, the New Testament
canon sprung from the bosom of the
Church. Silently it brought into sub
