THERE is something at once exceed
ingly pathetic and exceedingly true in
the following words from the great
preacher of the Church of England
Canon Liddon:
Religious satisfaction and Joy in God is one Of
the few things-almost the one only thing
that having possessed we can really keep As
the ears pass we part first with one friend, then
with another. Life becomes more and more
solitary and desolate. There are many &C
quaintances, but if we live on there are fewer
and fewer friends. The store in Paradise, we
trust, grows, but earth becomes more and more
desert for the heart. The heart cannot place
all Its resources at the disposal of every new
claimant. The heart, as the years go on, with
draws more and more into itself, and at the
grave 1T must part with all that is earthly that
Is yet left. " He shall carry nothing away with
him when he dieth neither shall his pomp fol-
low him" said the Psalmist of the wealthy
three thousand years ago. All is left at the
gate OF DEATH except ercept-that knowledge
and love of the everlasting Being who binds us
to Himself and which is our true outfit for
eternity. 1t is something in world of shadows
to come into contact with the real it is some
thing when all Is passing away from us to lay
hrm hold on the eternal, on the indestructible

In Swallow, special efforts, says the
Foreign Missionary, have been made by
the English Presbyterians to give med
zeal assistance to the lepers, and rich
results have been obtained in spiritual
things. One of these lepers, returning
to his home in the distant interior
where no living voice had ever preach
ed the truth, carried the knowledge of
the gospel to his native village. Curl
osity at first led the people to listen to
the leper's accounts of his travels; but
the truth had power, and his words
fell into hearts prepared to receive
them, so that in a short time more
than a score of converts were made.
When shortly afterward the mission
airy came, he found twenty three wait
ing for baptism, rejoicing in the hope
of eternal life, received through the in
strumenta'ity of despised leper.
NHealed in spirit, he returned not only
to give God thanks, but to tell his
countrymen what great things God
had done for him.

to Christianity, makes it matter OF
complaint against them, that they "hid
themselves in darkness" and fled from
the light" "You abstain from pleas
ures," he says, ain which there is moth
ing indecorous; you visit no shows
you attend no pageants; you are seen
at no public banquets." There was a
sharp line of demarcation dividing
them off from the world. Says Uhl-
horn in his graphic work on "The Con
flict of Christianity with Heathenism, -
speaking of the women in the early
Church:
Esteeming service to be her calling, and the
service of Christ as her highest honor it followed
of course that Christian matron no longer in
dulged in the extravagant and unnatural luxu-
ry of dress which characterised the high born
women of the time. She renounced all such
display when she became a Christian, and
henceforth appeared, according to apostolic in
junction, In neat and simple attire, gladly allow
Ing it to be said "She goes about in poorer
garb since she became Christian" conscious
that she was really much richer, and that mod
esty, purity, simplicity, and naturalness were
her most attractive ornaments. She had no
further occasion for her former splendor She
no longer frequented the temples and the thea.
tire, no longer observed the pagan festivals.
She ruled in the quiet of home labored there
with her hands, cared for her husband and chill
dren, and cheerfully and heartily dispensed the
rites of hospitality. When she went out she
visited the sick, or went to church to hear the
word of God and to celebrate the Eucharist
what need for fnery there2 AID even if she
called upon her heather friends, or accepted an
invitation to the homes of heather relatives,
she was not ashamed evea there to appear with
entire simplicity Going thus, to use Tertullian s
words, armed with her own weapons, she showed
that there is difference between the servants
of God and the servants of the Devil, and she
was an example to others for their profiting,
that God, according to the word of the Apostle,
might be glori6ed in her body

Mr.. MOODY was in Louisville, KY,
from March 1st TO the Sd at the re-
quest of the Ministers Association, to at
tend Convention of Christian Work
ers." On Sunday, the LIST, he conducted
FIVE services. A correspondent of the
Richmond Dispatch says:
The meeting at 9 o'clock was for Christian
workers. and the hall was crowded. Mr.. Moody
was In fine plight, and made profound impress
sion by his sermon.
At 1890 Mr.. Moody spoke to an immnsee
crowd of non professors of religion, most of them
non church goers, and was said to have held
them In deep attention.
Your correspondent heard Dr. John A..
Broadus preach at that hour one of his ablest
and best sermons.
AT $50 z. NJ, there was a service for women
only and the house was very much crowded.
while hundreds went away unable to get access
to the hall
Mr.; Moody sermon was one of great power,
ana deep interest was manifested on the part of
the unconverted
AT o'clock Mr.. Moody preached to the lar
gest colored church In the city.
AT 80 the meeting was for men only and
the hall (holding $4,000 was packed to its ut
most capacity.
Mr.. Moody was at his best, and at the close
OF his powerful sermon and thrilling appeal
there were over one hundred men who rose for
prayer, number of whom professed conversion

The ANCIENTs were not behind us in
the crowds that assembled at their
public spectacles We all know that
the great Flavian Amphitheatre, erect
ed by Vespasian (the conqueror of
Judea), accommodated $1,000 specta-
tors, and what was this to the Circus
Maximus, which was capable of con
tanning 100000 persons? The Circus
Maximus, the Theatre Of Pompey, and
the Amphitheatre Of Titus would col
lectively accommodate over 100000
spectators.

The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1885-03-11

WE have received the first number of
THE Presbyterian, published at Atlanta,
Ga. 1t is sixteen pages, in the quarto
form. The editorial staff has not yet
been selected. We trust it will prove
valuable auxiliary in extending the work
of the Church and the cause of sound
evangelical religion. We like the form
of the paper very much. We hope the
Presbyterian and the Central Presbyterian
will always maintain those cordial and
friendly relations which ought always to
exist between those engaged in common
cause.
