Consular "reminiscences.

This volume, written by G.. Henry Horst
mann. late United States consul at Munich for
eleven years, and for five years at Nuremberg
is made up Of his varied experiences at those
posts Of duty, and is altogether very enter
tanning and very instructive work He is evil
IDENTIFY careful observer of things transpiring
about him, and he has happy faculty of relat-
ing the same to the reader. He does not confine
himself to the dry details of his routine Duties
but goes out after and brings in the thousand
and one little incidents that tnliven the exist
ence of an American in foreign cities. More
than this, he enters upon the history OF the in
dustries peculiar to the places at which he was
stationed, and gives many valuable ideas of the
same not found anywhere else. The book is re-

would be taken cognizance of by live Yankee

Songs and Ballads of the Southern People
For some reason or other Frank Moore has
seen fit to collect and publish the war songs
Of the Rebellion, that is, the songs written
in behalf of the people who attempted
to set up an independent government
with human slavery as its cornerstone. 1t is
hardly possible that there can ever be an ex-
tended demand for the book, since these songs,
however meritorious they may be in themselves,
cannot suggest any living, inspiring thought 1t
were better for all concerned, the Southern peo
pie as we'll as those in the North, to forget the
principles" for which the former so desperately
fought and the latter, in defeating, so terribly
suffered. In point of fact, the verses for the
most part are the veriest dogeerel, but few of
them possessing any poetic merit 1t would not
have been a credit to the Southern people even
had the Confederacy been established ASH is.
these songs could well have been allowed to
perish. IS undoubtedly they will. They are pub
lished by D. Appleton g. Co., New York.

The Jurisdiction of Presbytery
Over Elders and Private
Mem harS

Many cases where discipline should
have been exercised, have gone unnoticed
because the existing Session would not
try the parties. In some churches there
Is only one ruling elder. We have never
known a case of discipline by pastor
and one elder, or a stated supply and
one elder. In other churches there are
only two elders. In the Presbytery to
which the writer belonged a case was
brought from a church thus situated.
One OF the members of said church had
behaved outrageously to one of the elders,
consequently that elder would take no
steps In the case. The other elder and
the stated supply did not see how they
could try the offender or prepare the case
for reference, and the Presbytery did not
see how they could take jurisdiction of
the matter
During the discussion venerable ell
der who had had forty or fifty years ex-
perlence as an active, efficient elder, re-
marked that during these years he had
known good many ministers to be tried
but ne had known very few ruling elders
who had been tried for any thing, though
there was an average of five or six ruling
elders Tor every minister. Why was
this Was it because the ruling elders
were sounder in the faith or more godly
in their daily walk? No one oonversant
with the facts would assign this as the
reason why SO few of the ruling elders
have been tried.
Take another view. In many of our
churches where we have bench of four
elders, possibly more, the family relation
ships are such they cannot, or will not.
try one Of their number for the glaring
Sin of drunkenness or profanity. II you
speak to one of the Session about it, he
may admit it as sad fact, "but he is
my brother, or brother-in.law, or cousin.
l cannot bring charges against him, nor
can l SIT as juror to try him. Some
seem to think our Book gives all the an.
thorty the Presbytery needs, but if so.
some Presbyteres es have failed to find it.
These things show that we need some.
thing more explicit than we have in our
present Book Of Discipline.
1t is hoped the Presbyteries will ap-
prove Of the changes sent down by the
General Assembly, G. w B.

For the Central Presbyterian.
The Amendment Again

The last Assembly proposed consti-
tutlonal amendment giving Presbyteries
jurisdiction where Sessions cannot exer-
else it. &c. w. F." has appealed to
Presbyteries to adopt the amendment by
way OF making certain the right of Pres.
byteries to exercise jurisdiction right
which is at most now very doubtful.
"F. M. W" has shown that at present
the Session is the only body that has
original jurisdiction over ruling elder
or private member; and that our consti-
tuition provides 40 way for Presbytery to
hear such a case except by appeal, or
complaint, or reference.
Let your correspondent call attention
to one more provision in Form of Gov
ernment, Chap. V, sec. 2, art. 4, viz:
And the jurisdiction of these courts is
limited by the express provisions of the
constitution"
If then there be any necessity for Pres
bytery to exercise original jurisdiction
over an elder or member of a congrega-
tion, the adoption of the proposed amend
ment or something equivalent to it is
absolutely necessary PRESENTER.

the case in all the other churches. 1t is
too soon as yet to estimate results; but
this one-a quickened state of spiritual
life-an elevation of the Christian stan
dard of life and conduct, is worth all the
cost and labor of these meetings.
L should not omit to notice the fact
that the musical part of the services was
very marked feature, and no doubt
contributed much to the general success.
Mr.. Sankey and Mr.. Townes and his wife
were very effective in rendering some of
their most beautiful and touching songs,
in which much gospel truth was set forth.
They were assisted by large choir COM
posed at first of over one hundred voices,
trained and led by Mr.. W. P. Irwin, son
OF Rev. D. G. IRWIN of your Synod. This
chorus choir, which was a very well bal
anced one, did most excellent service.
Very many, indeed, preferred the full
choir to the solos. Yours,

midway between Para on the Atlantic
and Manaos at the mouth of the Rio Ne
gro. Besides occasional boats, steamers
run regularly every fortnight, both up
and down the river. If needful the Scrip
lures might be translated into Tupi, and

When in Lexington, KY, few months
ago, met an estimable Christian lady
whose son had lately gone to the ANA
zon country, with the hope of getting
into profitable business there. She prom
lsed to let me know what he might write
about the country. | have seen his first
letter written from Santarem, which was
published in the Lexington transcript
(Ky.) of January 18th. One of the most
interesting statements in his letter is the
fact that the ground rises in terraces to-
wards the American colony to the height
of six hundred feet. If this be correct
there is no reason why it may not be a
healthy, and, with the trade winds, a
pleasant location. This young boy, alone
and with two hundred dollars to defray
expenses, does not hesitate to leave home
and loved ones, brave the climate, fever,
and all other obstacles, real and imagina-
ry, to engage in some lucrative employ
ment. And will our Church hesitate to
send to the same place young men who
are willing and anxious to go to evangel-
ize the benighted heathen? When will
Christians, redeemed by the blood of the
Son of God, be brought to feel the awful
responsibility that rests upon them in the
work of saving the m lions of immortal
souls still in ignorance of our Redeemer
and their own destiny? Oh that our
Church would arouse herself TO vigor-
GUS and triumphant prosecution of the
work committed to her by her King?

Nothing, therefore, has been wasted
nothing has been thrown away, but all
is still being used in the way that it was
intended to be used, although under a
different arrangement, and with the bless.
ing of God, will go on bearing fruit for
the glory of His name. l have written
thus particularly, supposing that those
who were so much interested in this de-
partment of our work as to assist in sus.
tanning it, would naturally be disturbed
by its so early discontinuance and that
they might know just what has become
of their gifts.
The Providence that has laid Miss
Houston aside just at this time, we can
not understand. We know, however,
that He who has doae it "doeth all
things well, and we trust that it may
result in good i'll some way. She was
conscientious worker in the school, the
Sabbath School, the church, and among
the people, and we miss her very great
ly. May the Lord soon restore her to
health and to the work in which she has
been and still is so much interested.

slider the facts stated above of sufficient
interest to their readers to be reproduced
in their columns, will be obliged to
them for doing so.

A Call to United Prayer for the
Sabbath.

The Worlds Committee has issued an
appeal for general union for prayer for
the entire sanctifcation Of the Sabbath
day. The opposition to the Sabbath is
intense. It's enemies intend, if possible.
to overthrow it. Would it not be well
for the Sabbath Associations and Unions
Of Virginia to give special response to
this call and to unite with other State
Associations in extending the call Of the
Worlds and International Committee ?
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1886-03-31

This subject might at least be specially
remembered in prayer on Sabbath the
9Th and llth of April, and also at the
weekly prayer meeting of that week
the week appointed for united prayer
by the International Sabbath Association.
