For the Central Presbyterian.
The Synod's Evangelistic
Work.

Words and Works is very neat
little " Presbyterian paper" pub
Iished every Saturday, at Roanoke,
Va. In its issue of July 23rd, some
surprising statements are made in
an editorial paragraph, concerning
the Synod's Evangelistic work. The
writer states few things positively
known, and then proceeds to deplore
and exhibit sad lack of knowledge
touching not few other things.
Words and Works seems positively
certain that 4" the Synod of Virginia
st this time employs a number of
evangelists within its bounds, who
are doing a noble work"-but it
only knows this from the charac-
ter of the men who are doing the
work" and "not because the church
at large has any definite informa-
tion, on this subject"
We cannot be at all cognizant as
to the facilities Words and Works
has of obtaining information anent
church news and work, but from it's
own confession of ignorance, it
must be rather meagrely supplied
with exchanges. For if there is one
subject upon which most Presby-
terian readers, who are "the church
at large" have been furnished
with definite information" it is
that of the Synod's evangelistic
work. The progress, needs, en-
cOuragements and growing impor-
tance of this work, through reports
from the Synod's Committee, or let
tiers from the various evangelists,
have been clearly and regularly set
forth to the Church at large almost
weekly, certainly bi-monthly, in the
two church papers which circulate
most widely from week TO week
among Presbyterians in Virginia.
In less than an hour the writer of
this article has selected from the
Central Presbyterian alone, some
twenty odd letters Cat random) from
the Chairman of Synod's Committee,
from clerks of said committee, from
nearly every evangelist employed,
also from pastors with whom or
near whose fields, the Synod's evan
gelists have labored. And these
letters and reports, with few excep-
tons, have been supplemented in the
Christian ObserUer Words and Works
cries especially for facts. These
letters referred to certainly give
facts; clear, plain, full accounts of
work accomplished, or work to be
undertaken The most casual read
or cannot fail to be impressed with
evidence between the lines, that
while our evangelists are almost
too busily at work to give much
time to reports, they do yet modest
ly but with great plainness so set
forth the facts of their work that
he may run that readeth. In the
issue of the Central, June 22d, 1892,
DR.. r. II. Fleming, as clerk of the
5ynOdical Committee, published
extracts from many letters re-
ceived by the committee from
evangelists, lin order that our
Presbyterian people may be fully
Informed of the needs of the evan
gelistic work, and Of the diligence
of the workmen" And this article

caused by the statement that ex-Mayor

Benjamin, President John Reid, Director
Jones and Superintendent Snyder of the
Board oil Education was held this morning
to consider the recommendation of DR..
Benjamin that the water in the public

Unfortunately there are few schools
that have utensils on hand for boiling
the water. Commissioner Madden
of tie Street and Water
Board says that there are no
funds in the Boards treasury that could
be devoted to the purpose of buying
them. The Board of Education
is in the same dilefsma and
faucets in the schools be turned off and

UNFAIR QUARANTINE.
staten Islanders are asking ques-
tions about the distinctions made
at Quarantine. They say that last
Saturday the transfer boat William
Fletcher, which under quarantine
seizure has been transferring the sick.
tlon, came to 5he Upper Quarantine dock
and was moored there from ten A. NJ.
until five p. M.
Not only This, but Capt. Muller of the
Fletcher came ashore aud mingled with
the newspaper men and others. DIR. Jen-
k'ns was certainly aware of this, the
Staten islanders say. because Capt. Null

When the st0rm-tossed Cepheus, driven
from Fire Island, came up to Upper
Quarantine for coal aud water, having on
buard the second cabin passengers of the
Normannia, not one OF the weary passen-
gers was allowed to put his foot on shore
lest he might possible spread the dread
infection.
Yet eight burly policemen, who had
been with the quarantined passengers for
forty-eight hours. unreservedly clambered
on the dock, walked ashore. and even got
meal before they returned.

asking questions about the difference be-

From Fire Island it is reported that peo-
pie from shore can mix with the de-
tanned passengers comparatively unre-
strained.
DR.. Voight, it is, has been so negligent
as to fail even to attempt to apprehend
several passengers who, by bribing bay
meu, are reported to have escaped.
That the Quarantine regulations should
be rigid with regard to some people and
so lax as to others is therefore becoming
matter of comment.

House Smashed on Gregory Street.-The
SCI" Train Scared 1t.
A horse attached to a wagon belonging
to the Consumers Gas Company, while
standing near the Newark avenue curb
in the vicinity of Henderson
street, became frightened at noon
at the noise of locomotives
on the Pennsylvania Railroad trestle. No
one was in the wagon at the time. The
horse started off on a run, and before
turning into Henderson street the wagon
collided with another belonging to
E. NJ. Smith, a Morgan street
shipsmlth. One of the wheels of Mr..
Smiths wagon was demolished and Mr..
Smith was thrown out upon the sidewalk
but was not badly injured. The runaway
turned into Gregory street on q
short cut and came flying along
to the imminent peril of pedestrians and
children playing upon the sidewalk.
When it reached the frame building of
Cigar Manufacturer Steinberger, which
projects further into the street than the
buildings next to it. one of the front
wheels struck the corner of the building
with such violence as to break the wheel,
shafts and harness, loeseninR the horse
from the vehicle.
The horse rushed on past Jake Kramer's
saloon and Police Headquarters while
men sitting about scrambled for the
doors, Stein becker's front windows were
smashed and some of the boxes OF
cigars tumbled into the wagon. The
horse was caught before he did further
damage.

Beyond the tariff question there is
principle which every lrue American de-
slres to see perpetuaued-that OF States
rights. Under the Repu blican regime,
system of governing elections has grown
up under Federal control-a system
which originated in the south at the close
of the war-which is a menace to the free
ballot. The Republicans wish to carry
this system still further and absolutely
control the elections throughout the

large number of people yesterday. 1t

vention and services were held
from nine O'Clock in the
morning until half-past eight O'Clock at

sections of the country. The exercises in
the afternoon were conducted by Sister
Antoniette Jackson. Among other things
she said:-
physicians are certainly very much
needed by the unconverted, but we Faith
Curists, having the spirit of Goa in our
souls. do not need them. We go
to that great Physician, Jesus Christ.
He heals all our wounds
There are hundreds here today who can
testify to having been cured of diseases
that physicians said were incurable. They
tried almost everything. but at last they
came to us and invoked Gods aid. He
heard them and they were healed"
At the conclusion of her address, six
women and one man asked to be baptized
in the New York Bay. The seven
converts were led to the shore
and while Brother jackson led
them out into the water the Faith Curists
stood on the shore and sang hymns.
In the evening the Rev. M. d. Hancox

Chancellor McGin Gives the Bayonne
People No Injunction.
Chancellor McGill this morning heard
the application of Timothy T. Brown and
others to restrain the Philadelphia and
Reading, the Lehigh Valley and the Jer-
sey Central Railroads from continuing
the nuisance of blowing their shrill
whistles. Col. Charles Fuller, who
made the motion said that there were no
grade crossings where The whistling was
done, and the shrill blasts were unneces-
Sary.
Martin R. Cook, the Presidential cleo
tor on the Democratic ticket. for the
Eighth district. who owns one of the
handsomest residences and grounds in
Bergen Point, testified that the whistling
was so bad that his would have to move
away if it was not abated.
Harry Fuller. son of the Colonel, testi-
fed that on August II he counted 141
blasts in 107 minutes, and on August 9
he counted 413 blasts in 1854 minutes
Several other gentlemen who live in the
neighborhood testified to about the same
facts.
Superintendent Williams of the Central
Railroad testified that the blasts were
signals to switchmen and no unnecessary
whistling was done.
The Chancellor said that he could not
interfere in the operation of the road and
refused the injunction.
