A NUMBER of prominent colored
ministers and laymen met at AS
bury Park, N. j., December 31st,
and decided to organise an institu-
ton to be known as the Park Uni
versity. The organisation is the
outgrowth of a summer educational
institution held there last August.
About 100000 will be invested in
the plan. The Rev. Mr.. Ayler,
presiding elder of the New Jersey
Conference of the African Metho-
dist Episcopal Church. was elected
president, and Mr.. Abraham p.
Denny, of Princeton, secretary. The
Charles III. Bond tract of land, con-
sisting of sixty acres, near Asbury
Park, has been purchased. 1t is
proposed to erect buildings and
inaugurate an annual summer
school similar to that at Chau-
tauqua, Ny. A theological course
will be conducted for colored clergy
men and a brick college erected
that will accommodate 100 students.
Eight acres of the tract will be
arranged for camp meeting grounds
and an immense outdoor auditorium
will be put up.

DIR. JOSEPH PARKER, London's
noted Congregationalist preacher,
thinks there is something wrong
where there is AN abundance of
churches that cannot find preach

have distinct conviction that many
men ought to be kept out of the
ministry, and that to keep them out
would be a real kindness to them,
though it might not be felt to be so
at the time of their rejection"
In this country any good man
who is not somewhat advanced in
years, can readily find a place.
There is sometimes an unjust pre-
JUDGE against cold men," Many
men do not reach their prime until
they have passed fifty years, and
any vigorous man ought to preach
better at sixty, or even seventy, than
he did at thirty.

The Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION of Chicago is about to
erect a building at a cost of ST, AGO.
600. The building Will have four
teen stories, three of which will be
devoted entirely to the work of the
Association.
The late John Creerar made
bequest of $4,000 as nucleus of
fund to give Chicago Young Mems
Christian Association building
which would give the association
the necessary accommodations to
extend its work. Two other Chicago
men have subscribed $4,000 each
and other amounts are being rapid
ly added

THE President of the Board of
Directors of Union Theological
Seminary announces that Rev. DR..
H. G. Alexander, Professor in that
institution of Biblical Literature
and Interpretation of~the New Tes-
lament, has rendered his resignation
to take place at the end of the pre-
sent session.
DR.. Alexander has been professor
in the seminary about twenty years.
He is one of the most accomplished
scholars in the Southern Presby-
terian Church, a man of varied
learning and accurate knowledge.
The Board of Directors will have an
important duty to discharge at their
next meeting in the election of a
suitable man for this chair, and one
also for the new professorship which
will be established.

DIR. DALE, of Birmingham, Eng
land, has very well said that there
should be a conscience in the preach
er's study as well as in the mer-
chants counting house. "To at
tempt by skillful manipulation to
get better meaning out of text
than it contains is as fraudulent a
proceeding as to attempt by skill
full manipulation, to get a better
meaning out of check than it con-
tains. Such habits are dangerous
in their effect upon the student and
preacher. On the whole they are
without real and permanent profit to
the people. They do not pay in
tellectually or spiritually. Be wise
by being honest in handling the
Word of God in your study and in
your pulpit"

IT WILL be seen from a card on
page 8th that the Trustees of the
Manchester Presbyterian church
offer good opportunity for those
who have either small or large sums
to invest. Unforeseen circumstan-
ces involved the good people of this
congregation most unexpectedly in a
considerable debt. They deserve
aid and encouragement, but only
ask in this card for the loan of
money which Will be thoroughly
secured and will be a good invest
ment.

THE JAPANESE have one good Gus
tom which we hope their imitation
of western civilisation will not in
duce them to change A CORES
pondent of one of our exchanges
writing from that country says:
" The last day of the year is busy
one, especially for business men.
The custom of settling accounts at
the end of the year prevails in all
parts of the country. Every one
makes great effort not to allow
any debt TO pass over into the new
year. The force of this long-stand-
ing custom is such that those who
fail to observe it strictly will find
their credit seriously impaired in
the community in which they live"
We take it that all newspaper ac-
counts are among those that are
settled at the end of the year.

The truth is, that there seems to be
craze in certain quarters for
human machinery within the
Church. There seems to be want
of confidence in the efficacy of the
agencies and means which our
Lord has instituted. 1t is subtle
form of unbelief creeping into the
Church. What we need is not more
machinery, "Seek and Save" socie-
ties, Societies of Christian En-
deavor," &c, but more diligent use
of the means and agencies divinely
appointed, and more fervent prayer
for the power of the Holy Spirit to
render these means and agencies
effectual. We need to walk con-
tinually in the light of that great
truth, " not by might, nor by power,
but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of
Hosts" All the machinery in the
world will do us no good without
the presence and power of the Holy
Ghost, and with His presence and
power we shall have no need of
machinery of human invention.

REV. DIR. H. c. DU BOSE, of China,
was in this city last Sunday. He
preached in the morning in the
Grace Street church, in the after
noon made an address to a mass
meeting of the Sunday-schOol schol-
ars and teachers at the Second
church, and at night spoke at the
joint communion services held in
the Second church.
DR.. Du Bose looks like a picture
of health and happiness. He has
been engaged in missionary labor
about twenty years and loves his
work. His preaching and addresses
made the very best impression.

his home in Little Rock, Ark, Rev.

THE Philadelphia Publjc Ledger,
in its editorial on New Years
day, mentions, among the habits
that should be left off, at the close
of the old year, the following:
The habit of loose talking, and
of ugly and bitter talk to others,
that so often brings troublesome
trouble, sometimes-to the owner
of the unbridled tongue, is one of
the old things it would be better 20
be off with, leaving it behind with
1890 that has passed away. Here
is saying that, if kept we'll in
mind, will help you to keep the wise
resolve to hold your tongue SO
long as | don't speak the bad wor~
Pm its master-the moment | do
speak the bad word it's my MASTER
There's another mischief max
ing habit to which loose and incon-
siderate takers would do well to
turn their backs on at the close of
the old year, and say get thee be-
hind me, Satan That.is the habit
of eXaggeration in relating to others
matters of interest and importance.
This habit seems to be deeply i'm
bedded in average human nature.
Ev' ry one who has story to tell
seems disposed to make the most of
ito magnify, multiply, intensity.
There s no end to the mischief and
trouble caused by this propensity.
1t deceives people; it sleeps them in
ignorance when they suppose they
are getting knowledge it leads them
astray; sometimes it gets them into
serious trouble. Some of our es-
teemed contemporaries will under
stand how this is themselves, and
we regret to say that some of their
esteemed contemporaries-notthem
selves of course-are occasionally
addicted to the habit.
" For such as may feel like re-
sisting indulgence in that alluring
but pernicious habit there is a short
phrase that tersely describes it.:
Exaggeration is only another form
of lying"

PITTSBURGH has been somewhat
says the Presbyterian Ban
ner, in the matter of sensational
pulpit advertising, but it is making
progress. Last Saturday week one
of our preachers announced that he
would, on the evening of the fol-
lowing day, discourse on Votes,
Home Rule, Electric Wires, Re
ligious Thought" That is almost
equal TO anything the most sensa-
tional Chicago preacher can do.

which shall be applied to furnish
the pastor of the united congrega-
ton with every possible facility for
putting himself, spiritually, in touch
with this downtown population.
Seeing that it consists largely of
people away from homes and home
ties, the church is to undertake to
provide them, as far as possible,
with congenial home influences and
surroundings. The church is to be
open every evening of the week.
Lectures, concerts, readings, &C.,
all to be given free of charge. A
reading-room is to be part of the
outfit. The pastor is to have as
salaried assistants, both young men
to look after young men in the
hotels and boarding houses, the
stores and manufactures, and young
women to look after those of their
own sex. By reaching out through
these assistants, and by coming into
personal acquaintance and associa-
ton in the evening gatherings, it is
hoped that a work may be done
which Will more than justify the
expenditure of labor and means.
Looking at the critical condition
religiously of our great commercial
cities, every devout Christian must
wish the experiment success.

THE Week of Prayer will be OBJ
served in the Presbyterian churches
of the city by joint services to be
held in one of the churches every
evening this week, according to
programme as published last week.
THE Christian IntelIigencer says:
In the English Presbyterian
Church the custom now is to have
four prayers in the morning service
of the Lords day, the second being
appropriated to the needs of the
congregation, while the third is
given mainly to intercession for
others. There are, also, four selec-
tons of Psalmody, the additional
one being hymn especially adapted
to the young, and accordingly an
nounced as the children's hymn.
1t appears, also, that our brethren
have trained their congregations to
the habit of sitting still for a min
ute or two after the benediction is
pronounced instead of frantically
rushing out as if in haste to catch a
train, as is the unfortunate custom
i'm so many churches ON this side
the water. These are all minor
matters, but they are worthy of con
sideration, as is every thing that
promises to make worship more
seemly and dignifed."

REV. EPHER WHITAKER, pastor of
the First Presbyterian church,
Southold, L. l., in the Presbyterian
Journal of December 18th, enters a
claim that his church, and the
neighboring one of Southampton,
care the oldest Presbyterian church
es in the United States" He says
" they were founded in 1910" But
strangely enough the brother adds
several facts that contradict his
statement. Thus:
In their earlier years, the several
churches and towns were prac-
tically identical. The subsection of
the smaller to the larger iurisdic-
tion-the Presbyterian order-was
maintained by the exercise of the
authority of the General Court for
the jurisdiction over the several
town courts. The several towns
called their respective pastors and
paid their salaries; and in the
towns under the general jurisdic-
ton of which Southold was original
ly a member, only communicates
in the church could vote in the
town meeting. x No trace of
church government for the first
hundred years has been discovered
except that of the pastor and the
town meeting. The pastor mani
testify administered the sacraments
according to his own judgment.
" When these old churches ceased
to be town churches, the way was
open for them to unite with those
that were connected with the or
ganization begun in Philadelphia
after the Irish model, and every one
of these old Long Island English
Puritan churches is now in the
Presbyterian Church in the United
States of America. They are the
Oldest Presbyterian churches in
this country"
1t seems, then, from Mr.. Whitaker's
own testimony, that it was one hun
dred years after 1910 that any dis
tinct church government began in
those localities. This means 1740,
at least. But then he is not precise
enough to fix the date so easily as
that, and merely says the way was
then open" for the "town churches"
to become Presbyterian churches.
His conclusion in the first para
graph quoted, that the subsection of
" the town church" to the General
Court was the same as Presbyterian
order, is a strange specimen of
logic. Those churches were Calvin
istic, but not Presbyterian by several
degrees.
