ChiIdren's Success at School.

The Surroundings of child, as every per-

among sensitive and intellectual children.
If the school house is a rickety, implanted,
uninviting affair, the pupil is inclined the

Pictures of Old Time Churches and Por-

Notwithstanding Points in the
History of Presbyterianism Jotted Down
One hundred years ago the first general
assembly Of the Presbyterian church was or
gained in America The colonies had,
twelve years before, separated from the
mother country, and the spirit of independ-
ence, so active in state afabrs, extended to
the church Immediately after Presbyte
rianism grew with rapidity. 1t was spread
over great extent Of territory without the
present methods of conveyance, and it was
impracticable for ministers to meet in an
annual synod. Had system been inaugu-
rated by which the ministers could send rep
Iesentatives to the synod the difficulty
might have been obviated in this way; but it
was preferred to retain the synod as it was
for the assembly of ministers residing in the

The synod revised the westminster COMES
zion and Catechisms." The beginning of an
absolute separation Of church and state is
manifest from the fact that while it is de-
rlared in the original confession that per-
sons holding erroneous opinions and prac-
hces, etc, "mav be called to account and
proceeded against by the censurer of the
church and by the power of the civil magis-
rate," at tho revision these words, ''by the
power of the civil magistrate" were stricken

The larger catechisTn vas amended in ques-
lion 100 by striking out the clause ''tolerat-
ing false religion"
The form of government, book of disci-
pline aud directory for worship were also re-
viSed with care.
This organization Of the general assembly

there sprung up an agitation which was des
tined TO continue until the American church
should separate, with its north and south
divisions. In 1875 the slavery question be-
gan to be debated. Sales OF slaves were con-
demned, and abolition Of slavery began TO
be regarded an object for consideration.
Another division, however, was destined to
occur before the separation of the north and
south churches. This was the seeding Of
party disagreeing with the policy Of the rest
at meeting OF the general assembly held in
1853 at Philadelphia The seceders called
themselves the New School" They elected
a moderator in the hall of the assembly and
then withdrew TO the church of which Albert
Barnes was pastor.

was divided into these two wings. In 1869
