the expectation that the discourse will be
terrain Church does not it is true, stand first
in point OF numbers among the Christian de.
nominations in this country, but it yields to
meme in intellect, culture aud spirituality.
The church has always insisted on an edu-
Gated ministry, and hence she has always
been among the very foremost in planting
colleges, and to day she has more theological
Summaries and larger ones than any other
denomination in the land. Indeed, so IA
nous are some of these institutions that
they are always attended by considerable
number OF young men who are preparing for
the ministry in other churches. 1t is safe,
therefore, to say that it would be
difficult to find anywhere in the
world an ADLER body of men than
that which meets in the First Presby terrain
Church at Cincinnati to-day. This denomi-
considerably over 600,OO actual members.
She has within her sabbath-schools over 100.
600 scholars. During the year ending April
1. 1884. over 10000 persons were added TO

same year to benevolent purposes amounted
to considerable over $40 0O0, 600. And this
does not include that which she spent in
the regular suppOrt of har own miniatars
here at home, or which she gave away to
help general charities. but simply that which
was given through her own boards to assist
in evangelizipg the world in this and oshsr
lanes. Ingersoll recently said that the
greatest obstacle in the way of infidel-
ity in this country was the Pres.
byterian Church. And q Roman Catholic
prelate of distinction said not long ago:
There is one church that we fear above all
other churches and that is the Presbyte-

ter as to inspire both the ministry and tae
laity with zeal which is according to knowl-
edge, with q calm onf6ence in their own
organization. and Nth q pardonable pride in
the succession of their own victories and
achievements. Some very important SUBJ
