FOREIGN CHURCH NEWS.

The Church of Scotland Disestablish
ment Bill now before Parliament, proposes to
disestablish the Church of Scotland on the lst of
January 1887, transferring the Church property
to commissioners requiring rent for the con-
tinued occupancy OF the Church edlhces, grant
ing to ministers certain annuities with a con-
tinued occupation of manses, and applying the
surplus funds of the Church to primary secular
education and such other purposes as may be
decided upon.
The Baptist Union in Germany last
year had 161 churches, with S3 4S3 members a
net gain of / 100 over the previous year There
were 3546 baptized. The churches raised for
all purposes about $4,000, and their property
Is valued at about 1892, 302 They lost 32l
members by emigration, and the exclusion of
S64 shows good standard of Christian character.
1t is noteworthy that, though the
press in England is declared to be Free the pub
LEGATION of the Scriptures is still under an an
cient restraint. Only the presses of the great
Universities print copies of the Bible; and
they sometimes seize on all the advantages Sc
cured them by their valuable monopoly. In
speaking of the Revised Version of the Old
Testament the London Times says:
1t is announced that the Old Testament is
not TO be published separately, except in
somewhat costly form, and that In the cheaper
editions it will be bound up and sold as one
volume with the New. They who have the New
already by itself must buy it over again with
the Old. Though buyers of the Revised New
Testament have no legal redress, they undoubt
eddy are threatened with breach of moral
faith. They were entitled, when offered half
the Revised Version separately, to conclude that
they would be given an opportunity of obtain
ing the other half similarly by itself"
Sometimes private firm in England brings
out an edition of the Bible by adding few
notes and calling it neutrality-suspicious.

disease, at his place of business at Wichita Fall
Texas, May 9Th.
The deceased was faithful Elder and clerk
of the Session of the Presbyterian church at
WeatherfOrd, Texas, for eight years, also super
intendent of the Sunday School for three or four
years. He was the only brother of Rev. VIM.
Hall, late OF Gonzales, Texas. A sorrowir Q
wife and three children mourn for him. but they
have hope.
His devotion to all the interests of our be-
loved Zion was marked through his whole life
with us. Never was he absent from the services
of his church without good cause. No secular
duty was allowed to conflict with the Wednes
day evening prayer meeting. His three chill.
dren were received into the communion of the
church at very early age He believed. &C
cepted embraced the covenant promises. MANY
hearts here and in Virginia, her old home. will
sympathize with his deeply afflicted wife. She
was the daughter of Mr. Lynch, of PETERSBURG.
Va, who was an Elder in the church of which
Rev. S. K. VIM is now pastor.
May the God of all grace sustain and sweetlv
comfort the loved ones, is The prayer of his pas
tor.
