our Episcopal brethren for some time
past, indicating desire TO break down
the barriers between the different
branches OF the Church of Christ, and
to bring about union under one COM
mon flag of all denominations of Chris
tians. The trouble about this in the
past has been that each denomination
has insisted on its own peculiar doc
trines, and so it has been impossible to
fuse them all into one common associa.
ton. The plan proposed by our Epis-
copal brethren was set forth by the
House of Bishops at the recent Gen
eral Episcopal Council at Chicago, and
was as follows:
But, furthermore, we do hereby affirm that
the Christian unity now so earnestly desired by
the memorialists can be restored only by the
return of all Christian communions TO the prin
ciples of unity, exemplifed by the undivided
Catholic Church during the first ages of its
existence which principles we believe to be the
substantial deposit of Christian faith and order
committed by Christ and his apostles to the
Church unto the end of the world, and therefore
incapable of compromise or surrender by those
who have been ordained to be its stewards and
trustees tor the common and equal benefit of all
men. As Inherent parts of tins sacred deposit
and therefore as essential to the restoration Of
unity among the divided branches of Christen
dom, we account the tollowing-to wit
l. The Holy Scriptures of the Old and New
Testaments as the revealed Word of God.
2. The Nicene creed as the sufficient statement
OF the Christian faith.
Tbo i
of the Lord-ministered with unfalling use Of
Christ's words of institution aud of the elements
ordained by him.
4. The Historic Episcopscy, locally adapted
IN the methods of Its administration to the vary
ing needs of the nations and peoples called of
God into the unity of the Church
Furthermore, deeply grieved by the sad divis
IONS which atfict the Christian Church in our
own land, we hereby declare our desire and
readiness, so soon as there shall be authorized
response to this decla' alton, to enter into broth
erly conference with all or any Christian bodies
seeking the restoration of the organic unity OF
the Church, with view to the earnest study of
the conditions under which so priceless bless
ing might happily be brought to pass.
In other words, the Episcopal Church
is willing to unite with all other
Churches on the basis of Episcopacy.
We do not see that we have made much
progress. Presbyterians are just as
much devoted to their form of Church
Government, and just as firmly per
suaded of its being the genuine Apos-
tolic type; as the Episcopaians are of
their form. The Baptist are us firmly
set in the distinctive pecuIiarites OF
their Church as either of the Others
and so of other Churches. The House
of Bishops say to the Baptists, if you
will adopt the Episcopal form OF gov
ernment, and give up your views about
baptism, we are willing to unite with
you. But we do not think they will
do it. There's the rub. Our friends
will have to try again.

ter-in law of Stonewall Jackson) writes
in the October Century
"He never posted letter without
calculating whether it would have to
travel on Sunday to reach its place of
destination, and if so, he would not
mail it till Monday morning. Still fur
Their did he carry his Puritanical oh
servance. Unnumbered times have
known him to receive important letters
so late on Saturday night that he would
not break his fixed resolution never to
use his eyes, which were very delicate,
by artificial light; he would carry the
letters in his pocket till Monday morn
ing, then rise with the sun to read
them.
ain the winter of 18G1-'62, while
Jackson's forces were at Winchester,
he sent brigade to destroy the canal
leading to Washington. The expedi-
ton proved a failure; and he attri-
buted it, in some measure, to the fact
that Sunday had been needlessly tres
passed upon. So when a second expe-
dition was planned he determined there
should be no Sabbath breaking con-
nected with it, that he could prevent.
The advance was to be made early on
Monday morning. SO Saturday he or
dered my husband Colonel Preston, at
that time on his staff to see that the
necessary powder was in readiness.
The quarter master could not find a
sufficient quantity in Winchester on
Saturday, but during Sunday it was
procured. On Sunday evening the fact
in some way got to Jackson's ears
At an early hour on Monday he dis
patched an officer to Sbepherdstown
for other powder, which was brought.
Then summoning Colonel Preston, he
said very decisively:
"Colonel, / desire that you will see
that the powder which is used for this
expedition is not the po,oder that wds
procured on Sunday"
No doubt some will think that the
stern chieftain carried bis scruples
about the Sabbath, in some instances,
too far, but it is safe to say that in our
day the danger does not lie in this d.
rection.

WE publish elsewhere the proceed
ings of the Presbytery of Macon, to
which we refer the reader for partic-
ulars. The action of the Presbytery
partly sustained and partly disap-
proved of the deliverances of the AS
sembly.
1t has been our object to report the
action of all the Presbyteries and
Synods which have either approved or
disapproved of the action of the AS
sembly with regard to evolution and
Columbia Seminary. So far as we
have seen, only three Presbyteries, or
four, if Macon be counted, have disap-
proved of the action of the Assembly
and no Synods.
AS there are 50 Presbyteries in the
Church, the dissent does not seem to
be large.

On OUR first page we publish an
article from the st. Louis Evangelist
{ Northern Church) with regard to the
recent action of the two Synods of Mis-
souri, (Southern and Northern) touch
ing the re union of the Presbyterian
Churches, North and South. The ar
tlcle sets forth clearly the issue as it
now stands between those Synods.
We must say that we cannot see the
Logic of the Evangelist, when it affirms
that the Northern Assembly has al
ready uttered the declarations made
by the Northern Synod of Missouri.
The Northern Assembly merely APP
proved the Minutes of the Missouri
Synod, and made no explicit reference
to this subject lin 1879. The declara-
ton ought to be made distinctly and
formally, if it is to become the basis of
action between the two Churches.
We may add that the reply of the
Southern Synod of Missouri implies
that that Synod would not assent to
any union between the two Synods of
Missouri which did not extend to the
whole body of each of the Presbyterian
Churches-that, in other words, they
do not for q moment entertain the idea
of acting independently of the South
ern Church
