For the Central Presbyterian.
Rev. DR. Edward Martin

At meeting of the Session of the FIRST
Presbyterian church of St. Charles, Mo-,
held on the second day of March, 1885,
all the Elders being present, the follow
ing paper was unanimously adopted:
Whereas it has pleased the great Head
of the Church to remove from us, by
death, our pastor, Rev. Edward Martin,
D. D., who for over fourteen years has
gone in and out before us in sacred min
lstrations, we desire to spread upon our
records this testimonial to his great and
eminent worth, to his fidelity as a pastor,
and his integrity and high-bearing as
man.
Our brother came to us iu the maturi.
ty of his manhood and with The gathered
experiences of a former pastorate and a
residence among us of fourteen years has
brought to our view the lighter as well
as the deeper shades of his character.
We have seen him in the sick chamber
and have heard his voice lifted beside the
open graves of our dear departed ones.
We have seen him when prosperous Winds
were swelling his sails and Joy and glad
ness were filling his heart and We have
seen him in the depths of great sorrow
that sorrow that overwbaIu3 the soul
when called to a separation from one
that has been chosen to be the companion
OF life, and chosen too with an srdor and
depth Of affection that is rare among men.
His conjugal bereavement, Elk Years be-
fore his own death, is believed to have
shaded all his subsequsi life
Our deceased pastor was a uau of ar
dent temperament, OF a strong VIII, Of
genuine professions, and of lofty ambi-
ton. He was a man Of deep i-Vrought
convictions Of truth and duty, and en-
dued with sublime courage In The ex-
preston Of those convictions Having
planted his feet upon the rock and within
the citadel OF truth, as he believed it, the
battle flag would certainly be unluried if
that citadel were attacked and t mat
tered little to him whence or by whom
the attack might be made lie loved the
truth, and was bold in its defence.
AS a minister Of the gospel ne dwelt
much upon its great cardinal doctrines,
It's mountain ranges of tuth--substtu-
ton, imputation, and Justification by
faith In the scheme OF sdemption he
vindicated and magniGed the Justice Of
God as well as His mercy. showing that
in Jesus Christ, the sinners substitute,
all the claims Of the law lad been met,
and that mercy had thus been built upon

For the Central Presbyterian.
Was 1t By Colonizing ?

MeSSrS. EditorS,-In 1872 there was
but one Presbyterian church in Nor
folk, Va, consisting of 325 communi.
cants. That year a colony from the
First church formed the Second church;
and since, each Of these has sent off a
colony; so that there are now four
churches in this city. The aggregate
OF communicates reported last year
was $50, an increase in fourteen years
of 235, or more than 72 per cent. The
First church then reported 333, which
is more than it numbered before sepa-
rating its first colony. The second
colony however, has been sent off since
this report was made.
In Richmond in 1872 there were four
Presbyterian churches, with an aggre-
gate membership of 1892, almost ex-
actly averaging that of the one church
in Norfolk. During the same fourteen
years only one new church was formed
from these four The aggregate mem
bership Of the five, as reported last
year, was 1865, being an increase in
fourteen years of 1868, or about 20 per
cent.
The whole Presbytery, during the
same time, increased in communicates
from 3,169 to 4 ,428, net gain of 1859,
or nearly 40 per cent.
In the cities above compared there
may have been more favorable circum-
stances in the one than in the other
but if so, the writer is not aware of it.
Was not colonizing at least most
potent instrumentality? X.

to the social and political problems OF
the West. And as for religion, it is a
bigoted fanaticism which the majority
OF mankind has now outgrown.
The Soudan question also involves
The Fate of Africa.
Beyond all controversy, the most inter
esting question of the day is, Who shall
hare africa? Portugal says, 81 want
it," and proceeds to revive an ancient
claim to the Congo. France says, al
want it," and straightway divides the
Congo basin with Portugal. Germany
says, want it" and by way of en-
phasis annexes the Cameroons. Italy
says, L want it," and sends her fleet
and men to the Red Sea. Gladstone
reluctates and says, 81 don't want it.
Give us freedom of trade and it is
enough. l will have nothing to do
with this land grabbing business-my
conscience forbids it, But God seems
to be saying, by the whole procession
of events, by a series of occurrences for
which that great statesman has not
been responsible, by the whole momen-
tum of destiny for the eastern world,
by the well being of Africa and Asia
for centuries to come, "You shall and
must have Africa. You must put down
the slave traffic. You must build rail
ways across those moats of sand. You
must pipe waters across those dead
levels Of barrenness. You must let the
light Of God in upon the soul of Africa -
In the seventeenth century North
America, like Africa now, was claimed
by Spain, by France, by Holland. But
theirs was not the genius to plant free
institutions. and England was given
that work to do for North America.
And here is Africa to-day, mighty
country OF vast resources, which can
no longer be left in control of tawny
lions and long cared elephants and ne.
gro fetch worshippers. True other
nations are stealing march on the
Anglo Saxon, and are partitioning the
territory in the west But the fate of
Africa is along the Nile and it's head
waters, and not along the Congo. And
England is there, in the providence of
God, to plant the seeds Of self govern
ment, common law, true liberty, and
pure religion. Gordon is the first mar
tyr, whose blood shall be the seed of
the Church in the Soudan. And who
can tell? Ethiopia may, in a few cen
turies, lift up her hanos TO God-and
TO- they shall not be flaek hands any
more, but white-and that continent
be occupied by a mighty nation of
English descent, and covered with the
schools and churches and devices of
modern civilization. Il. M. G..

Thanks TO " Elder" for his timely and
wise notice to parents and patrons of the
Union News Company, in the issue Of
the Central Prcsbyteyja1 Of March 4th.
1t is hoped that this warning, Of some
good friend Of our youth, will be needed.
1t seems, from the reliable statement OF
this correspondent, that this publishing
company put into the hands, for sale, Of
their news agents on the trains, the per-
nicious in6delities Of Iugersoll. Let
Christian travellers let these people
severely alone, and not patronize
them, while these facts exist; they might
