Power of the Press.

In an address delivered before the New
York State Press Association, one of the
speakers (Judge Tourgee) expressed him
self In the following striking language
x = 1.-The rumseller cannot do half the
harm in year that bad man who has
the long end of the lever of a press can
do in week. He writes in our brain,
when we think we are only thinking our
selves. The man behind a newspaper
comes into our daughters heart before
she Is woman, to elevate or to degrade
it. He comes into our boy g heart before
he is out of his first boots, either for good
or evil. There is not man present but
who, looking into his past life, could say
to some periodical that did me infinite
good or the opposite The speaker
hoped that the divine who had opened
the meeting with prayer would forgive
the expression, but 1t seemed to him that
the earliest mention of the press we have
is found in the New Testament, and is
not far from right; many sought to
come unto Him, and could not for the
press. Many good man has been trans
formed into fend by it. Many a good
woman's life has been turned to shame
Wy VIC press VI GO'udy. 1uOS6 WHO are
sent out for news sometimes have a nose
for scandal and according to the adaee,
send a buzzard to market, and you will
have carrion for dinner Scandal is
printed SO freely that the young daugh-
ter grows up with the idea that her
mothers virtue is an old fashioned thing.
The danger is not so much that men who
direct the press will be grossly corrupted,
as that they will become blinded to their
personal responsibility.
If such be the power of the press" as
to the current literature of the day, what
shalDbe said of the countless volumes of
aVowedly 5mfdeL books that are daily cir
culated on the railroad trains. A news
vender on one of our railroads told the
writer few months ago, in answer to the
inquiry as to what books he found most
saleable, that he sold more of Bob In
gersoll's Remarkable Speeches" than any
other. These speeches are stepped with
lnfdeity of the grossest Sort We have
the authority of the Saviour himself that
the children of this world are in their
generation wiser than the children of
light but could not the American
Tract Society and other publishing es-
adjustments find as many purchasers on
the railroad trains for their good books,
as Bob Ingersoll and others do for their
bad ones? F. J.

Central Presbyterian for 1886.

We ask our present subscribers, our
agents, and the ministers in the churches
to aid us in extending the circulation
of the Central Presbyterian. We do
not ask any one to take the trouble of
introducing the Central Presbyterian
without compensation, and make the
following proposals:
1. Any subscriber who will, with his
own subscription, send the name of a
new subscriber, shall have the paper
sent to the two for 81.
2. We will allow a commission of 81
for every new subscriber obtained who
pays in advance.
There are hundreds of subscribers
who can, each, easily obtain one or two
new subscribers (some can obtain many
more), and we ask them to make the
fort.
The Central Presbyterian aims
l. To be a faithful representative of orthodox,
evangelical Christianity, and of the principles
of the Presbyterian Church.
2. 1t aims to keep fully abreast OF the learn
ing and Investigations of the day, while uncom-
promisingly opposing the heterodox teachings so
rife at this time.
8. 1t notices fully every great question that
touches the interest of the Church. or affects
Christianity.
f. It's readers will have the best opportunity
of seeing the Christian view of these,questions.
s. 1t allows and invites free discussion, but
only in the bounds of Christian courtesy.
G.. 1t gives full summary of religious news
from every Presbytery in our Church, and con-
tains also carefully prepared summary of re-
ligious news from every part of the world.
7. 1t gives choice religious reading, carefully
prepared or selected for the family and for the
children,

.RAFFLING FOR CHRIST.

We were amazed, not long since, at
seeing upon exhibition beautiful and
elegant crazy quilt which was to be
ratified for at fifty cents a chance for
the benefit of church. 1t is almost
incredible that protesting Christians
could engage in such desperate and
unholy scheme for raising money for
Christ. There is no financial exigency
conceivable which can excuse or justi-
fy such resort. The church which
cannot maintain the ordinances of reli-
gion without such appeals to one of the
worst and most dangerous passions of
the human heart, had better be blotted
out of existence. Surely Christ never
designed his Church to be supported in
such way, and the church that adopts
it is preaching "another gospel" The
objections to the church rattle are great
and unanswerable. 1t is sin, and sin
of the worst type; for it is essentially
gambling. What is the rattle? 1t is
a game Of chance, in which several
persons deposit a part of the value of
a thing, in consideration of the chance of
gaining it, What is gambling? 1t is
playing at game of chance for money
or other stake. We imagine that those
who employ this method of raising
money for Christ would be shocked by
a proposition that the church should
open a lottery and sell tickets for the
purpose of getting the means to build
a house of worship or parsonage.
The lottery is regarded as such an of
fence against good morals that the
United States government refuses to
allow the mails to be used for the dis
tributon of its tickets or advertise
ments. But there is no material diff
ference between the rattle and the lot
terry. Both are games of chance and
gambling for stake. More: while a
church may not officially, as a church,
participate in this sin, yet, in receiving
the proceeds, it becomes it fact the
patron Of the vice, and encourages and
invites its members and others to do
that which the law Of the land and
Gods Word condemn And this is not
all: but as Christ himself, in the per
son of his Church, which is his body,
is the intended beneficiary of this vice,
He is, through his Church, represented
as tempting men to commit a sin which
can oaiy be UaSted ont IN his ol0n blood.
1t is monstrOus SANDER Of the Re
deemer, but it is the logical conclusion
of the whole thing; and the church
which practices this vice is liable to
the denunciation uttered against the
Israeltes, whom God charged with
making him to serUe ,0Hh their SINS"
Gambling has gro 9n to be one oil
the giant vices Of our day. 1t has dis.
guised itself until it has entered our
business houses, our banks, our ex.
changes, our private parlors, and our

schools. Cards are now tolerated
where in the past generation their
presence would have shocked the SEN
timent of the day. We have heard of
progressive euchre" in even the par
lors of digntary of the church. 1t
was not i'll timed. therefore, when the
"Blind Preacher" chaplain of the
National House of Representatives
startled that chamber the other day
with the following prayer:
We beseech Thee, Almighty God, help the
people of this country to learn that money
gained otherwise than as Thou commanded, by
the sweat of the face, as the fair and honest
wage of honorable, manly work of brain or
hand, is gained by theft no matter how we
name the stealing that money is never con.
verted into wealth unless it ceases to be the
pander of our lusts and lifts us above the level
of the animal, lifting us to the graces of hfe
elevating our hearts to manly aspirations, max
ing us kindly with our kind, patient to Gods
laws and reverent to ourselves. Rid the land
we beseech Thee, of all ganiesters, whether they
gamble with dice or cards or chips or with
wheat or stocks or corn or cotton. Deliver us
from the influence and power of robbers, who,
entcing their victims to boards OF trade and
stock exchanges and bucket shops, name their
practices of plumber shearing the lambs" En-
Tighten our intelligence with Thy truth; sweeten
and deepen our humanity with Thy love /;
quicken our pety with Thy spirit, and may
Jesus Christ become more and more the master
and ruler of our lives and characters and
thoughts We pray through His hallowed
name. Amen.

IT is gratifying to observe the steady
growth of Presbyterianism in England.
Its principles are even beginning to
leaven the establishment. Some of the
greatest authorities have in recent
years acknowledged their scriptural
origin.
Not many generations ago the very
name was reproach. 1t is easily eX-
planned. The Presbyterians represent
ed the bulk of the nation, politically
and enthusiastically, under the Long
Parliament, until Cromwell and the
army crushed them out. After Crom-
wells death, they brought back the
king, who protested himself Presby-
terrain, having signed the solemn
League and Covenant. They did it
to their sorrow. They were complete
ly deceived, imagining that they were
dealing with Christian and a gentle
man. All their hopes of constitu-
tional monarchy and Presbyterian
establishment were blasted by the
royal perfdy and the policy Of Clar
endon. There was no refuge for them
in the Church without total sacrifice
of principle, and they were naturally
repealed by the Independents, whose
cause they had refused to spouse.
The result was disorganisation, both
as party and sect.
Time brings about great changes.
None can be greater than the political
revolution led by Mr.. Gladstone, the
quondam champion of High Church
principles, unless we except the silent
adoption by eminent hierarchists of
revival measures as radical as those of
Wesley, or the unequivocal admission
of some of their highest authorities
that the polity of the Presbyterians
corresponds with the form of Church
government described in the New Tes-
lament. With what establishment
would Sir Matthew Hale, Richard
Baxter, or Gilbert Burnet, survey the
scenes now enacting at London, Ok
ford, and Cambridge The proverb
calls it Time, but faith pronounces it
Providence. 1t is God in history who
pulls down and sets up according to
his will. The Saviour himself re-
proved the Jews for not noticing "the
signs of the times" 1t is q strange in
fatuation of unbelief that will not see
the tokens of divine power in the
wonderful revolutions Of our day,

The quarterly meeting of the Sunday
School connected with the Presby terian
Mission for colored people, of which Rev.
W. 81. Lee is pastor and superintendent,
was held in Samaritan Hall, corner of
9th and Duval streets, last Sunday after
noon. The exercises showed that the
children have been well taught, and that
the superintendent and teachers are
thoroughly in earnest. This enterprise
gives promise of success, and ought to be
heartily sustained by the Presbyterians
Of Richmond. We shall have more to
say about it again.

The treasury of the Mission is nearly
empty, and the number of sick and suf-
fering requiring attention at this time is
very great. The ladies need $500 to
carry on the work to the 1st of May.
The "City Mission" was organized twelve
years ago, and work begun without a
dollar but Faith was its foundation,
and the organization has increased from
year to year, until now It's fostering care
extends over all the poor of the city from
Church Hill to Hollywood The ladies
work earnestly and steadily, with the
same faith in which the work was begun,
feeling a strong assurance that merciful
Father in heaven who hears the signs
and sees the wants of the poor, will con-
tinue to Ell the hearts of the benevolent
citizens of Richmond with desire to ex-
tend helping hand to the City Mission
whenever needed.
The ladies Of the Mission desire to ex-
press their thanks to the young ladies Of
Edge Hill School for their most val
liable donation of clothing, also to an IN
known friend for a donation Of six bar
rels of apples.

WE would simply remark to the In
terror that we were aware that DIR.
Hodge had slipped up in his conces-
sions about the antiquity of man
which was unfortunate just at this
time, when the tendency of the most
recent observations is to reduce the
date of the close of the glacial epoch
to 10000 years ago. Man was hardly
preglacial. Even Mr.. Boyd Dawkins
does not contend for that. There are
probably gaps in the genealogical tables,
but it does not do to press that too far.
