DR.. T. E. Peck's Notes on
EcclesiolOgy.

have learned that not yet has
sufficient number of copies of the
enlarged edition of DIR. Peck
Notes on the Principles of Ecclesias-
tical Polity been subscribed for to
justify the Committee of Publica-
tion in issuing the book from the
press. For several years l used as a
textbook the Notes as printed by
the students of Union Seminary,
and found them invaluable as an
aid to the instruction I give in that
department. Since the supply of
printed copies has been exhausted
l have found no other presentation
of the subject to take its place. 1t
is, therefore, with personal interest
in the matter that [ appeal to my
brethren, who may not have signified
their intention to subscribe for the
book, to send their names at once to
Mr. J. w. Tyler, Hampden Sidney,
Va, so that the material may be
placed in the hands of the publisher
without delay.
1t is to be hoped that many of
our ministers already in the work
will be found anxious to supply
themselves with copies of the Prin-
ciples of Ecclesiastical Polity.
There are doubtless many of DR..
Peck's students of an earlier day
who have not even copies of the
shorter edition. The book cannot
fail to be useful to anyone who is
constantly called upon to apply the
principles of Church Government
in the Session and other Church
Courts. For these reasons, we should
regard it as an omen of good to find
added to the list of subscribers
many of our ruling elders. They
should not forget that their re-
sponsibility as rulers is no less
than that of Presbyters who also
teach, and that the obligation to
understand the government which
they administer IS Il the highest
order SIR.

addition to the stock promised from
owners Of it in the present buildings
and grounds, to raise $4,000 for ad-
ditional buildings and equipment
of a seminary-about $500 of
which has been promised by persons
living in and near Lewisburg.
The following action taken by the
committee on Evangelistic work in
the western end of the Presbyterv
was approved "That having entered
upon the work with the full consent
and appreciation Of the Presbytery
on two separate occasions, and be-
fore the Synod of Virginia took any
action for a specific evangelistic
work in its bounds, we think best
to prosecute that work as originally
proposed. AT the same time we
want it to be considered as the same
work as that of the Synod of Vir-
ginia and our own Presbytery, and
the Rev. J. M. Evans as Synodical
evangelist to labor in the territory
as part under our care"
The Presbytery reiterated its form
er action taken at Huntington dis
approving the use and sale of ar
dent spirits within its boundaries,
and by any in connection with its
churches.
A memorial, prepared by direction
of Presbytery, in reference to Rev.
M. D. Dunlap, was read and adopt

Foreign Missions.

Lexington Presbytery in May last
adopted a recommendation of the
committee to this effect That in
dividual churches, groups Of church
es, and individuals, whom God has
blessed with means, consider their
obligation to the Master i'm sending
his gospel to the heather, and un-
dertake the support of foreign mis-
sionaries
In addition to those already thus
obligated, Tinkling Spring church
agrees to support a missionary and
he is now on his way to China.
Some more of our churches are
making honest efforts.
Brethren, let us not simply con-
slider, but act promptly in this mat
ter, and be not only a blessing to

Family Worship.

One of our oldest ruling elders,
Mr.. Charles l.. Peyton, died recently
at his home in Greenbrier county,
West Va. He was in his 85th year.
We have heard him tell how,
when he came befor. the Session to
unite with the church, they incul-
Gated the duty of family worship.
He and his young wife were living
at her mothers at the time. On his
return home he. told what the Ses-
sion had advised, and said it was
his purpose to set UP a family altar.
His mother-in-law approved, but
suggested that he wait until the gay
company at the house shoul7 Leave.
as then he could conduct the SER
vice with less Embarrassment. But
he insisted on oginning at once :;
feeling ,hat if a duty, the sooner he
began its performance the better.
And so when the hour for retiring
came he took the Bible and seating
himself at the table read a chapter
and offered prayer. He had thought,
with the one who had attempted to
dissuade him, that the unaccus-
toned act and the presence of many
thoughtless persons would be at least
a great burden, but said the Lord
helped him.
Presbyteries, Synods and Assem-
blies all deplore the disuse of this
means of grace. May not one rea-
son be that young married people
do not begin at first, and later ON do
not have courage to attempt it?
Should not all Sessions, too, care
fully advise all uniting with the
church as to this duty?
Perhaps a revival of the customs
of the fathers in gathering house
holds and Offering up their desires
unto God would broaden the line of
demarcatIon between the Church
and the world. Beautiful is the pic
ture drawn in Cotter's Saturday
Night. Burns plainly considered
the representation incomplete, un-
less
"The priest like father reads the sacred
page
Then kneeling down to heavens eternal
King,
The saint, the father and the husband
prays."
The picture would have been in
complete because the custom was
universal. And wac not Presbyte-
rianism a synonym of gospel power
in Scotland because it believed God
had set men in families and God
delighted in the worship of fami-

As we have protested and petit
toned against the opening of the
Columbian Exposition on the Sab
bath, let us pray that God may so
control the hearts of the commis-
siOners and arouse the Christian
sentiment of our land that they NAV
decide to honor the Sabbath by
keeping the doors closed. The Chris
tian people of America would
speedily add their blessings upon Z
were they certain that the Sabbath
would be properly honored at its
opening.
" 1t would be indeed a great blow
to the cause of Sabbath observance
should the people of this professed
ly Christian nation so far dishonor
their past record as to allow such
palpable affront to the authority of
Gods word" The loss of the
American Sabbath is our present
peril. Surrender this citadel and
national degeneracy must inevita-
bly, follow. w. T. HOwIsoN,
