Presbyterian.

The faculty of Louisville Seminary
announces the proposed publication of
an exposition of the Westminster Con
fession of Faith and Catechism, pre-
pared by Rev. Francis R. Beattie,
D. D., Pm. D, Professor of Systematic
Theology and Apologetics IN that
Seminary.
OF the sixteen students in Union
Theological Seminary reported from
Hampden- Sydney College just one
half are graduates. If the same pro
portion of non graduate men holds
good from other colleges and universe
ties, and is true for other theological
seminaries, it is time for the Presby.
teries and the whole Church to awake
to the real state of our theological edu-
cation, and to the assured deteriora
ton of our Presbyterian ministry I'm
less speedy steps be taken to change
the present drift.

fusion on the State and county tickets,
fuse if the Populists get a fair show
and an honorable pledge from the Re-
pub'icans to legislate in the interest of
the People, and not so much in the in
terest of corporations, syndicates
and the monied class generally.
Pledge the nominee to support no man
for the Senate but true and tried sill
v~erites, if the Populists fuse. Other
wise, she is not true to her principles
as enunciated in the Omaha platform
We can't expect to gain strength and
numbers unless we hold fast to our
principles. We started out for free
silver and against r. R. monopoly,
alien ownership of land and other re-
forms. So let us fight it out on this
line if it takes twenty-five years. We'll
reap if we faint not. The children of
Israel we're forty years on their jour
ney from bondage to freedom. God
gave them leaders, and he is the same
just God to day that he was then. If
our principles are right, they will yet
become law; if not right they will go
down rs they deserve. Then let me
say and emphasize this, don't forsake
principles for strength, but stick to
principles and strength will come. If
l understand Chairman Butler, he pro-
poses to stickrtO the principles of the
party. He is a Populist from princi-
pie and not from prejudice for the lOaves
and fishes, as it seems some are. Those
who are advocating fusion with the
Republicans just to get Office or just to
keep out the Democrats, are not true
Populists. They are for anything just
80 they keep in power. As Mr.. Butler
says, why check the growth of the
POpulist party by hasty and unwife
steps, making the Populist party a tail
for the Republican party to wag. AS
some one has said about following Gen
R. E. Lee blindfolded, if there is a man
in the State that l would be willing to
follow blindfolded politically that
man is Marion Butler. Two years ago
it was necessary to fuse with the Re
publicans in the State. On the statute
books of North Carolina was a dis
honest election law, and other laws that
had not been satisfactorily adjusted
We now have an honest election law
and the other matters can be attended
to yet. You can cast your ballot next
November and it will be counted.
There will be no dead men voting, no
registration books stolen, no dlsfran-
chising qualified electors; every party
will be represented at the ballot box
and there will be clean, decent work
done.
In conclusion let me say SUOp criti-
cizing; stick to the Omaha platform,
and you will be following Mr. Butler.

Inever write for the public, but since
many are expressing their views as to
fusion IN the coming election, l want
to say q word or so on that line. L
have just read the circular supposed to
be a copy of a circular sent out by Mr..
Butler, Chairman of the Populist Party
Executive Committee, and | heartily
endorse it from beginning to end. l
don't g why every Populist in the
State, if he is a PopUlist from princl-
pie, can't endorse it. He say 8 that the
information he gets from every quar-
ter of the State as to the electoral ticket
is cooperation against goldbugs, co
operation for silver at the ratio Of IL to

a spectacle! Ny sentiment, and l be-

OUTLINE OF A SERMON BY REV.
D. H. FUTILE.
Duty of Parents to Sunday-School Work.
TEXTS
What mean you by this service2
Elk. 1926.
What mean these stones7 Josh.
4:2I.
The father to the children shall make
known thy truth. lisa. 38:19,
1. It is a universal and selfevident
truth that the first ideas and inquiries
of children border on the line of things
spiritual and whether in land lighted
by the Father of Lights" or dark
ened by sins superstition, we know
that the first teachings of children are
religious. As if fresh from heaven,
they would begin at once TO inquire
their way back. Before the child
leaves the bosom of its loving creator,
there is breathed upon it the immortal
appetite of inquiry, and this appetite
God commands the parents to satisfy.
Chlld's inquiry: What mean ye by
this service" The parental answer to
this was to be a recital of Gods won
drous delivery of Israel from Egyp-
tan bondage. What mean these
stones3" This the parent was to an
sWer by telling how God made Jordan
20 part her waves while Israel went
over on dry land. From these answers
the children learned to love God for
HIS goodness and faithfulness to His
people, and also to make His Omnipo-
tence and that only, faiths omega; and
the uselessness of resisting omnipo-
tence. We magnify Gods mighty

and others. See Pisa. 70, 1-12.
2. But since Moses and Joshua lived,
Gods mightiest works have been &C
complished. Since then a dying God
has said, ''It is finished" More love-
inspiring things are now to be told-the
old, old story of Jesus and his love.
Now we can tell of Bethlehem and it's
babe, and of Angels singing to sheph-
erds, of Savior more homeless than
bird or fox; of a good Saviour betrayed,
one on whose bosom children had mes
tied and received blessing-a Saviour
crowned with th0rns, cruciied, buried,
rising from the dead, and ascending to
Gods right hand in glory, even TO in
tercede for US. What is more thrilling
to tell than this? What more worthy
to be heard by infant ears, or to make
first impression on infant mind or soul2
What theme more worthy of parental
teachings
3 Let us join Kate Hankey in say
ing:
Il love to tell the sorry
OF Unseen things above,
Of Jesus and his glory;
Of Jesus and his love.
I love to tell the story,
Because | know it's true;
1t satisfies my longing
AS nothing else can do"
For themes so thrilling, so full of
blessing divine and e ,ernal, should it
be thought a strange thing for the
church of God to have a special de-
partment in which they are taught,
and especially to children2 The Sun
