FEWER UNFILLEp PULPITs.
Southern Presbyterian Churches Sc
curing Permanent Pastors.

CHARLOTTE, n. c., May 1.-THE
meeting of the First Presbytery of the
Associate Reformed Presbyterian Synod
Of the South. which has Just been held at
the Ebenezer Church near Charlotte, has
been marked by the number Of applica-
tions from vacant churches within the
Presbytery~f permanent pastors. For
some time congregations without a pas
tor have been supplied with preaching
under the direction of the Superintendent
Of Missions Of the Presbytery, the con-
gregation often indicating to the Super
intendent which one of the available min
listers without a charge they would like to
have as a temporary supply for their rul-
pit. They would pay for the supply and
there the matter would rest. no call be-
ing extended to the pastorate.
This condition Of things came to be a
matter of concern and last winter the
Rev. Oliver Johnson. of Leslie, s. c., Su-
perintendent cf Missions. whose congre-
cation is one of the largest and strongest
in the denomination, filled his own pulpit
with supply ministers while he went out
among the churches without pastor and
urged upon them the duty of establish
ing a pastoral relationship. The result has
been that at the spring meeting of the
Presbytery, Just ended, seven congrega-
tions sent up calls for pastors

The american FIng Never Before
Such Rarity on the High Seas.


The volume Of Commerce and Naviga-

1863, just issued by the Treasury Depart
meut, shows that American shipping rec
ords were broken in one respect. namely.
that in the trade between the United
States and Europe During that entire
period not one American merchant vessel
went to or came from Germany, Russia,
Sweden and Norway, Denmark, the
Netherlands, Italy, Austria, Hungary.
Greece, or Turkey.
Two small American vessels came to the
United States from France, one in ballast.
One American sail vessel came from Bel
gium in ballast and one American vessel
cleared for Spain. There cleared or enter
cd from the United Kingdom eleven
American sailing vessels, and two small
vessels went 20 the United Kingdom in
ballast.
The American flag was never before
such rarity on the North Atlantic be-
tween the United States and Europe.
Even during the year of President JET
fersou's embargo. 1865 and during the two
years cruise of the Alabama, 1862 to 1864,
the American flag was to be seen in these
waters more than in the fiscal year 1909

The Anglo-American Joint High Com

ington the negotiations which were sus-
pended in 1895. owing TO the insistence of
the British Commissioners upon includ-
Ing the Alaskan boundary question
which never was a question-in the dis
cussions of the body. The boundary was
sprung after the Commission organized.
It was not contemplated when its creation
was agreed to. The American representa-
tives never should lend themselves 10 its
consideration. Our Alaskan boundary
has been fixed by a prescription Of
seventy-fve gears. Neither the seizure

In Berlin il is officially denied that ne
gotiations are in progress between the
German and Austrian Governments, with
view TO forming an economic alliance
against the United States. No doubt that
is true, but it is certain that the
German press and people are greatly agi-
tated over the trust developments in this
country, and the trust invasion Of Euro
pean markets and if our prohibitive pro-
tectiOnists are not suppressed and this
Government does not adopt saner fis-
cal policy, the agitation now general
throughout Europe viii result in just
such a coalition against us as Count Co
luchowski predicted three years ago. Tn
less our Congress displays more sense in
connection with tariff revision than it
has so far, and shall consent TO reciproci-

raiding, it does not take a prophet to see
