spheres to advance the Kingdom Of
God, shall everywhere give way to
sympathy and mutual cooperation.

accustomed by the publication of unfa-

more widespread faith in the truth OF
God and In the guiding influence OF His
Spirit.
The letter was laid before the pres
5bytery by the moderator, Rev. Dr..
David G.. Wylie, and after it had been.
read a movement to refuse McGifrert's
request was made in order to send the
whole matter to the general assembly,
which meets in st. Louis in May. This
motion led to a technical discussion as
to whether the presbytery could per-
nit McGiffert's withdrawal in this
manner. and the moderator ruled the
request could not be granted An ap-
peal was taken from this ruling, and
the chair being reversed the request
was formally granted.
As far as McGiffert was concerned
that will probaly end the incident,
Birch said that as soon as the general
assembly had decided upon the legal
points raised he would retire from the.

Tho Care of windows.

If paint or putty discolors the mar
gin of the glass of windows dissolve
some crude bicarbonate of potash in
hot water and saturate tho paint al.
herring to the glass. Allow it to re-
main on until it is nearly dry, then
remove it with WOODEN cloth. Hav-
ing removed the CRIME from the glass,
a mixture made from the following
ingredients will give glistening re-
suits: One ounce each of olive oil,
ammonia and water and two ounces Of
lime. This will make a paste. The
paste is to be smeared over the glass
and the window cleaned in the usual
way with warm water and the custo-
mary clean cloths and feathers. When
the labor of the paste is considered
too great, dry whiting may be used
with very satisfactory results.
