fusing to follow the decline in futures. I'M
mediately following the call, prices shot up about

actions to sell on, either for long fresh short

nc told Of the wrongs and sufferings of his peo

the camps of concentration, is most affecting.
Tears rolled down the bronzed cheeks of the
great General.

Gods wisdom and love is not shaken one particle
He knoweth best My faith is my solace in these
lonely days / will meet the loved ones i'm

In the agitation following the decision of the
case of the Free Church (the minority against
the United Free Church. some things are
brought to light One matter of serious import
to which attention is called is the fact that the
Higher Criticism" has prevailed among those
OF the Free Church of Scotland who united with
the United Presbytcrians Dr. George Adam
Smith, Dr. Dods and Dr. Denney occupy chairs
o. theology, and their pronounced views on the
Bible have given great offence to the conserva
tive sections, as in the Highlands. When il
was proposed, two years ago, to bring DR.. Smith
to trial, the proposition was thrown out on mo-
tion oil Dr. Rainey, seconded by Dr. Orr. Not
a single follower of their views went with the
Highland minority. This is given as reason
why the small Free Church, now successful in
the suit, has refused to give the colleges and
cllurcnes Tor teaching which they think assaiIs
the Scripture, and teaches doctrines beside or
contrary to the standards of the Free Church
Of Scotland.

shall have no end, no evening shadows and no
night. The heavenly fields are radiant with the
Sabbath light The home in the Fathers house
is the happy gathering and resting of all the
wandering and weary ones. The sanctuary is
one, and its doors are never closed There is
no need of a temple there, and for our COM
munion day there is ''the marriage supper Of
the Lamb" The song rises for ever and ever
And there is no going out and down to care and
pain and tears That is ''the Sabbath-keeping,
not the rest, which remaineth for the people of
God

In September our churches make offerings to
the important cause of Home Missions as con-
Quoted by the Assembly's Executive Committee
at Atlanta. This committee is conducting an
aggressive work in the newer fields of the South
and Southwest, and has been much encouraged
by the growth of the work in their hands. New
churches, additions to the rolls, and new mis-
sion stations in important sections have given
a great impulse as well as made large demand
upon men and means. The help to be given
for the erection of churches in new fields where
there is promise of ingathering is an important
part of this work Under the present plan. the
weaker Presbyteries all over the church are to
be aided as far as possible The open doors in
the Southwest, where population is rapidly in
creasing, give opportunities that are urgent and
may not be repeated. 1t is for the churches
tc put the funds into the hands of the com
mittee, of which DR.. S. H. Morris is the Secre-
tary, and w. A. Powell, Atlanta, Ga, is the
Treasurer

THE African dwarfs brought by Mr. Werner
to the st. Louis Exposition are said to be much
disappointed that they are only the objects Of
curiosity, and have not been received as guests
and Hospitality entertained Mr.. Werner is ro-
ported as saying:
Since they have been here they have covered me
with confusion over and over again by REFERRING o
the tact that when l was in their country they met
me with presents, with food and with palm wine
ana WIN everything that could be desired and Gave
me 6ieat welcome, but since they have come here
the white people do nothing but come out and stare
al them and laugh at them It would make then
much happier, they say if the white people would
treat them with the poleness with which
they treated me-"
1t should not be a difficult matter TO Give
these curious remnants Of a most NEGLECTED. and
degraded race Of humanity better sense Of orr
Christian land and its people. Sometime
might well be secured by Mr.. Werner from the
Christian people Of st. Louis that would show
a real interest in their well-being and send
them back with happier memories of the white
man and his religion,

WHATEVER be the outcome of the war in the
East as between Russia and Japan, there can be
no doubt that Japan will henceforth be the
leader of all the yellow races in the East. Japan
has gone so fast and so far in the development
o. the arts of civilization, and apparently in the
growth of a widespread ambition for improve
ment and elevation, that her influence over the
great provinces of China and the smaller Korea
Will be very great 1t is of immense impor-
tance that the japanese be brought more and
more under the power and blessing of Chris
tanlty' 10 reach Japan with the light and life
OF the gospel at this time gives strong hope of
reaching all the East. Our best men, scholarly
and trained to meet error and preach the truth
should be sent to Japan.

MEMBERS of the Synod of Virginia are re-
minded that the Synod meets this year on the
evening of Thursday October goth, and not on
Tuesday, as for many years past. Beginning as
late as Thursday night, the session will con-
tinue over Sunday, probably until Tuesday
evening. This will be necessary if the standing
rules as to order Of business are not suspended.
They require five days.
