Assemb1y's Action on Sunday-Schoo1s.
By r. z. MAGILL.

The General Assembly which met in Atlanta in
May was made UP in large of men who
have not occupied prominent positions in the general
councils of the church, and yet the traditional con-
servatism of Our organization marked the delibera-
tons of the body, and startling innovations were
proposed. A number Of measures were introduced
looking to forward movements, and a progressive
spirit was very much in evidence, and in no matter
was this spirit more clearly shown than in the con-
sideration and adoption of the report of the Stand
ing Committee Sabbath-Schoo and Young Peo-
pies Societies. (Report published on page J. The
report rather longer than usual and covered
ground not usually covered in such reports 1t was
shown that other denominations covering the same
territorial limits church. were making agrees
sive efforts to improve their Sunday-school work.

Men OF special equipment are employed by at least
three denominations in the Southern States to give
their whole time to the development of this great de-

rollment and attendance and marked Improvement

THREE RULING ELDERS.
Time will allow little than the mention of
the names of William Durand, Nianian Bea and
William Stevens, three most influential ruling elders
who were in America before the first Presbytery
William Durand was the leader of the colony of ex-
lies from Virginia, have seen, forced out by
the tyrancal demands of Governor Berkely to con-
form to the ritual of the English Church Ninian
Beall prominent legislator and soldier in the
colony and the record of the deed is still extant in
which he gave the site of the church Patuxent-
now Upper Marlboro. William Stevens seems to
have been instrumental in bringing Mackenzie and the
other ministers from the north of Ireland to Mary
land.
The monument has been erected as a memorial of
the men of the first Presbytery Its Scotch granite
columns and capstone, thistle in Scotch granite
remind of the Scotch exiles and the Scotch Pres
byterianism-as firm and durable as grante-which it
commentaries Its Irish grey stone shaft brings to
memory Mackenzie and the men of north Ireland who
came to evangelze America. It's base from New
England tells of that part of our own country as
furnishing at least the road by which some of this
Presbyterianism came
BE we have seen that there Presbyterians be-
fore the first Presbytery; and l would claim the I'M
seen foundation stones beneath the soil as the me
mortal of the long unknown and still but little known
ministers, ruling elders and good people who laid
the foundation which the first Presbytery was
bulded-for Francis Doughty and Matthew HILL
the faithful and earnest ministers; for William Du-
rand Ninan Beall and William Stevens the ruling
elders; and for the loving and willing people, of
whom Hill tells, and for those companies of French
Presbyterians, TIE fellow -countrymen' of
calvin, among whom my own ancestors who
endeared such crueltes the blood-staned soil of
France, and contributed largely the establish
ment of civil and religious liberty in free America
May this monument, thus composed of materials
from different lands, concentrating the excellence
of our Presbyterianism which has been derived
through streams from different directions but all
from one fountain head be a symbol of its enduring
unity. Whatever result may from any move
ment in the future for organic union may we now
and henceforth, have the unity of the Spirit in the
bond OF peace'-"the unity of the fath'-the faith
which Our fathers bled to maintain in that purity in
which they have transmitted it to us in the standards
of the Presbyterian Church.

r. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of
trade says: The formal reduction of 80
per ton in prices of plates and bars and
the closing of mills by the American Steel
and Wire Company have filled this week
with surprises. In the stock market and
in the market for steel and iron products
changes have begun, the end of which
cannot we'll be foreseen. Apart from
the disturbance in speculation, there has
been produced a measure of distrust re-
garding prices. There is a slightly bet
ter demand for hides at Chicago, atrib-
uted to their improving condition, but
the distribution of boots and shoes does
not keep all the factories at work. The
textile industries have large orders yet to
be filled which keep many of the mills

change in prices. Cotton goods are by

full scope of the excessive rains mas Deeh
learned the conviction has been lrreslsI-
ibly brought home that Il calamity OF ap-
pallng magnitude has been experienced,
and that instead of the worst being over
the evil has just begun. Partial reports
of the damage incurred in the storm belt
have run the figures up into the millions,
and. taking into consideration the losses,
real and resultant, the amount foots up
to an enormous figure.
Advices received in New Orleans from
Pennington say Pearl river has reached
it's highest mark since, 1874. The TIM
Der booms have commenced breaking up
and thousands of dollars worth of timber
has foated out to sea. All business on
the river is at a standstill. The sawmllls
have had to discontinue operations. The
water has reached the first floors OF all
stores along the river. Traffic of all kinds
is suspended. Every bridge from Pearl
ington to Logtown has been swept away.
The water in the public roads is deep
enough to swim horse. People living
on the Louisiana side have been forced
to abandon their homes and flee to the
Mississippi side for safety. Hundreds of
head of cattle and hogs have been drown
ed. Deer and other game are swimming
across the river at every available point.
All farms and gardens will have to be
replanted
Belated news is beginning to arrive re-
garding the loss of life. -Four people were
drowned near Meridian and two near
Hattiesburg, Miss. In the vicinity of En-
terprise, Miss, the waters of the Chicka
sawha are raging. The water is FIVE feet
deep in the main streets. The three
bridges between East and West Enter
prise have been swept away. The En-
terprise Academy, building which was
the pride of the town, is gone. A num-
Der of buildings were demolished.
Shubuta and Desoto. Miss, are inundat-
ed. The rise of the Chickasawha has so
far been in the neighborhood Of thirty
feet, and the torrent is rising. The Pas
cagoula river, too, is raging and much
damage is feared to the lands adjacent
to it's banks. The floods have been worse
than ever before known The railroads
entering New Orleans have incurred dam
ages which, figuring the loss Of business,
will amount to hundreds of thousands of
dollars

MORMONS IN CANADA.
Spread of the Sect Is Alarming Do
IuiniOu Officials.


1uiniou Officials.
Canada is becoming seriously alarmed
at the rapid spread of Mormonism in
some parts Of the country, especially in
the northwest. The Mormons themselves
claim to be increasing in the Dominion at
the rate Of thousands per year, and, ac-
cording to a Quebec correspondent, assert
that within the last year they have
brought in over 1000 emigrants from
Utah alone.
If this is continued Canadian public
men fear that they will shortly control
large sections of the country. AS the
bulk Of the people in southern Alberta
have come from Utah, and as the Nor
mons have so thorough an organization,
it is dawning upon the country that they
may become serious menace to the
State, especially as there is grave sus-
picion among their Gentle neighbors that
polygamy is practiced secretly by these
Canadian Mormons.
Many of the leading elders in Alberta
assert that polygamy is ore of the chief
privileges of the communion, and it is
asserted that in some cases the privi-
lege has been held out as BALTIC would
be adherents of the baser sort.
Outside Of Alberta and the other north
west provinces of Canada the Mormons
claim to have no fewer than 10000 mem
bers in the province of Ontario. The
leaders or ''evangelists' of the church en-
deavor to obtain footing in new centers
by posing as ministers of the gospel"
They profess at first to follow Christ and
the apostles very closely and keep the
peculiar doctrines of the Mormon church
very much in the background until they
gain the confidence of their converts.
