"HYMNs OF THE AGEs."-The Gen
eral Assembly at it's last meeting,
after considering the report of the
ad interim committee on the Hymn
Book, adopted the following:
1. The Assembly hereby expresses its
cordial approval and endorsement of "The
Hymns of the Ages" compiled and pub.
lished by Rev. r. z. Kerr, ID. ID of Rich
mond, Va, and heartily commends it to the
favorable consideration of all our churches
?. Our Committee of Publication is
authorised to make such arrangements with
DR.. Kerr for the sale of this book as may
seem best to the Committee.
3. We express the hope that a word
edition may soon be issued
The WORD edition, recommended
above, has just been issued by the
Committee of Publication, and they
are now prepared to furnish it to
churches as follows: Cloth bound,
red edge, 80 cents, net: Roam, r5d
edge, so cents; Roam, gilt, So cen s !;
Turkey Morocco, $3.50
1nG DOOh, WulCn Is Dedulllully
printed, contains $50 hymns, in
Guiding twenty doxologies and ten
chants.
The Hymns of the Ages is well
worthy of the commepd ation which
it has received from the General
Assembly, and from other sources.
No one publication contains all the
good hymns or excluded all that are
of Indifferent value. But this col.
lection has been made with unusual
care, and contains a larger proper
ton of the very best hymns than
any book we have seen. Churches or
families, that wish to supply them
selves with new hymn books, have
it now in their power to get one of
the best ever issued. 1t will un-
questionably be used more and more
in our congregations as the old
books are worn out.
The music edition is al supplied
by the Committee of Publication at
rs cents per copy.

THANKSGIVING DAY.-President
Cleveland, on November 3rd, issued
the following Thanksgiving Day
proclamation:
"While the American people should
every day remember with praise and
thanksgiving the Divine goodness and
mercy which have followed them since
their beginning as a nation, it is fitting
that one day in each year should be
especially devoted TO the contemplation of
the blessing we have received from the
hand of God and to the grateful acknowl-
edgment of His loving kindness.
Therefore, l. Grover Cleveland, Presi-
dent of the United States, do hereby de
signate and set apar; Thursday, the Both
day of the present month of November, as
day of thanksgiving and praise, to be
kept and observed by all the people of our
land. On that day let us forego our or
binary work anc employments, and assem-
BILE in our usual places f worship, where
we may recall all that God has done for
us, and where, from grateful hearts our
united tribute of praise and song may
reach the Throne of Grace. Let the re-
union of kindred anc the social meeting of
friends lend cheer and enjoyment to the
day, and let generous gifts of charity for
the relief of the poor and needy prove the
sincerity of our thanksgiving"

Encouragement.

We are thankful to announce that
along with the precedented hard
times, the contributions for Foreign
Missions during the month of Oc-
tober have been larger than ever
before, for that month, in the his
tory of our Church.
We wish to thank the contributors
for the manner in which they have
responded to our appeals for help
A lady IL North Carolina writes.
Having read your appeal here
with enclose NV check for 500
for the cause of Foreign Missions"
A great many similar letters have
been received at the office, con-
tanning smaller amounts, but
prompted by the same spirit, and
containing gifts equally large, no
doubt, in proportion to the ability
of the giver.
Contributions for last October
amounted to $17O42, 81, which was
several thousand dollars in advance
of the year before, owing to special
efforts connected with the observ-
ance of the centennial of missions.
This year the sum total for October
is $19,236,63.
l make this statement not to pro-
duce the impression that our EN-
barrassment has been entirely re-
lieved, or that there is any reason to
relax our zeal in the good work
The fact still remains that unless
we reach the $15O,OO0 asked for bv
the General Assembly we shall
close the present fiscal year in debt;
and to get that amount it is neces-
sary that the contributions this
year shall exceed those of last year
by at least $25 600.
We can all work better, however.
under encouragement than under
Encouragement; and if we 90 on
with the good work in the same
spirit of selt-denial that has been
manifested the past month, we will
be able to meet all our obligations
and be under no necessity of taking
any backward step. 1t is to be
hoped that the Church will never
tolerate the idea of any backward
movement in this cause; but that
she will constantly recognize the
voice of God addressed to her in
the command, "Speak unto the
children of Israel, that they 90 for

THERE are a number of ministers
in our Church who have had very
long pastorates, and who still con-
tinue to do their work with eminent
success.
DR.. J. B. Stratton is serving his
fiftieth year as pastor of the Pres
byterian church, Natchez, Miss.
DR.. B. M. Palmer and DR.. T. NJ.
Markham, of New Orleans, have each
served their churches about forty
years. DR.. John Hunter, of Jack.
son, Miss, has been pastor there
more than thirty-fve years. Rev.
DR.. S. A. King has had quite as
long a passionate at Waco, Texas,
having commenced his ministerial
work in that place when it scarcely
deserved the name of Village.
DR.. M. D. Hoge began to preach
in Richmond as licentiate in 1S43,
and has been pastor of the Second
Presbyterian church since 1S45.
DIR. J. R. Graham, of Winchester,
Va, commenced his passionate of
the Kent Street church many years
before the war;" and is still good
soldier of the cross.
DR.. G. D. Armstrong, who is now
pastor emeritus of the First church,
Norfolk, entered upon work there in
1851, and held the passionate forty
years.
DR.. G. H. Read, pastor emeritus of
the Grace Street church of this city,
who is now past eighty years of age,
was the faithful and efficient pastor
for nearly forty years.
There may be others, among the
living, whose names we do not now
recall, who are nearing the celebra-
ton of the semi-centennial of their
pastorates.
We recently noticed the fact that
the late DR.. John McElhenney, of
Greenbrier Presbytery was pastor
at Lewisburg, w. Va, ffty-seven
years.
There are many others who have
served as long in the ministry as
any of those mentioned, but not IN
one pastorate. DR.. John B. Adger,
of Pendleton, S. c., has been in the
ministry for sixty years; DR.. w. K.
Marshall, of Marshall, Texas, for
6fty-seven years; and DR.. J. G.
Shepperson, of Langdon, Mo, who
removed, few years ago, from Vir-
ginia, has been preaching for fifty
three years.

made a notable speech last week at
the annual banquet of the Sheffield

vited, on the continuance of pc Ice

that the war of 1912 shall remain

that the English and American
flags would always float in amity.
He was cheered loudly as he took
