ONE of the strangest phenomena of the timet
is the assault upon Calvin's theology from
teachers in the Calvinistic churches. Such at
| tacks as are now common in Presbyterian
weeklies and ecclesiastical assemblies have
| heretofore been characteristic of those who re-
| jected the fundamental propositions of Calvin
| theology Now there are theologians who &C
| cept the fundamental fact of his theology-the
/ absolute sovereignty Of God-and then repudl
ate its legitimate and inevitable consequences

To work up charity balls, fairs and festivals.
grab-bags, ring-cakes and calico neckties for
socials, is not the demand for Africa yet. These
foolish, empty things will never convert and re-
| deem the cannibal kings of Africa. When
| Jesus sent out His l20 missionaries. full of the
| Holy Ghost to christianlze and civlllze a
world, they sold their possessions, threw the
whole on the altar Of God and went at it. They
would have died forever forgotten If they had

THE following is from DR.. Talmage: What
did intolerance do against the Methodist
Church, That church was prosecuted and
| pearly all the pulpits of Great Britain closed
against her ministers. The very name OF that
church was given in derision. There are IN tne
| Astor Library, New York, l am told, 7O7 books
and PAMPHLETS against Methodism, kept there
merely as a curiosity. Did intolerance destroy
| the Methodist Church? She stands either nrst
| or second, do not remember which, in num-
hers in ali the eartt while she has her men, not
only in places of religious trust but OF secular
| trust
AMEETING was held in Exeter Hall, Lon
don. recently by the English Church Mission
arv Society when farewell was said to Bishop
Crowther and Is missionaries who were depart
| ING for Africa for the Niger and the Soudan,
and Eastern Africa. Ten of the missionaries
were University men. This meeting is an evi-
dence of the immense interest excited IN Afri-
can missions in England. The missionary
journals OF that country are full of the subject,
and the January and February numbers OF the
Missionary Cleaner, the organ of the ChuIch
Missionary Society, are devoted entirely to this
branch of the WORK.
WHEN YOU call Presbyterian revsionist,
or an anti-revisionist you must be particular
after this to specify Just what you mean. A
dispatch from Saratoga goes on to classify the
Assem- bled divines somewhat as follows: Henry
Van DYKE radical revsionist; Francis Patton,
conservative antl-reyisiontst: Herrlck Johnson,
moderate revisionist; DR.. Patterson, strong
anti-reyisionist; Elder Henry Sayles, mild revi-
sionist; Elder Henry Day, outand-out revi-
sionist There appear to pc ABOUT as many
wings as there are Highland'clans answering 10
the name of MacGregor. But there Is eVl-
IDENTIFY no general disposition to throw John
Calvin overboard.-BoSton Congregdttondtist.
