Church and Christian Education.

lie is 10 De nOpeu UndC Unc widespread lHlef-
est of late years in Christian Education, and
the planting and maintenance of institutions
under the control or influence of our own Chris
tan people will not be allowed to wane. Our
Assembys Permanent Committee by its CORE
spOndence and effort, and by its excellent an
nual reports, has done much to create this in
terest and give it wise and safe direction. The
campaign of education conducted now for five
years has been in some degree successful. In
its last report, which is just at hand in pamph-
let form, it is stated that an awakened interest
has been invariably shown in all sections. In
some Synods the effort has been concentrated on
schools of collegiate grade. Some Presbyteries
are engaged in founding academies, and in some
the parochial or Westminster schools have been
the objects of Jealous effort. The report en-
phaszes the facts that Home Mission work has
been more successful where the Christian school
has been conducted, and the consecrated Chris
tan teacher has gone with the living preacher;
that there is great forward movement in fe
male education, with the enlargement of older
institutions and the founding Of new schools
for girls; and that an improved condition is
reported as to the use Of the Bible and worship
in the public schools of the land
Tn Texas, under the Jealous lead of DR..
Thornton r. Sampson, the Synod is putting out
It's strength upon the higher education, male
and female, collegiate and theological, and all
brought into system under the Synod's CON
troll. In North Carolina, Davidson College has
been enlarged in its scope and facilities and
doubled in its patronage. Six female schools
enrolling more than thousand girls each year
are now under the control Of the church. a
number of preparatory schools, some under the
Presbyteries and some under church sessions
have been established And large number
Of mission schools have been operated in con-
necton with Home Mission work In the
Synod Of Virginia found the largest num-
Der of Presbyterian schools, male and female
while only few of them have any ecclesiastical
connection.
The report Of the Permanent Committee on
the Twentieth Century Fund shows that over
half million of dollars has been paid or
pledged for Christian Education. The amount
paid was $85,115, and the amount in pledges
to be paid annually for a few years to come,
S473,414 The amount secured in Texas was
100000 in the past three years It will be
right and necessary of course that the Synods

MEssRS. TORREY AND ALEXANDER who have
had such remarkably successful evangelistic
tour around the world, are not wearied of their
travel and exhausting work. They reopen an
English campaign in September at Bolton in
great drill hall which will seat five thousand
people In October they will be at Cardiff,
Wales, and thence they go to Liverpool Be
ginning February, they will be in London for
a five-months' campaign. They seek the centres
of large population, and masses which are not
now reached by the Word. Criticised by those
who have changed their religious views, if they
have not lost faith in Gods Word, the evan
gelists are preaching the old truths and appeals
of the gospel, and are finding in multitudes of
conversions that it is still the wisdom of God
and the power Of God unto salvation.

OUR church is to be heartily congratulated
on the large reinforcement which is to 90 out
this fall to our mission stations in the foreign
field. Twenty-four choice men and women are
under appointment, whose names appear else
where in this paper OF the twenty-four, eight
arc ordained ministers, seven are physicians.
one is teacher, with nine ladies, of whom six
are unmarried. For the travelling expenses
and the outfit of the whole number including
the special outfit of the medical missionaries
fund of 81 500 is needed. This fund is now
being collected as special offering from the
churches, Of which some good part has already
come into the Nashville treasury Wherever
there are funds in the hands of church societies
or of individuals that are not yet designated.
nothing could be better than their immediate
appropriation to this fund

PRINCIPLE RAINEY's reply to the letter of the
Archbishop of Canterbury is interpreted to init
mate that arbitration will not be accepted 1t
is rather indicated that the hope of settlement
of the great issue is in some act of Parliament
1t seems probable that the whole issue will be
discussed in Parliament, with fulness and per-
haps much party feeling. The result of this
would most probably be that the Law Lords
decision will be sustained as strictly in accord
ance with law. In the meantime it does not
seem likely that there will be any compromise
on the part of the small Free Church. who feel
that not only is the law on their side, but that
they have been wronged and grieved, and that
fidelity to truth compels them to use the great
properties now theirs for defence Of the faith
OF their fathers

ton, and may claim and receive the whole cor
porate property of the church, which had been
received under the original formularies of
belief
Generally speaking, the leading papers of
England sustain the decision, viewing it from
the standpoint of those accustomed to an estab-
llshed church and its unchanging forms of be-
lief and worship. Other papers and writer's in
Great Britain and America claim that church
is something more than a corporate trust, with
an Interchangeable contract; that it is a living,
thinking and active body, with whom some free
dom of change is essential to life, and that
money given to it is given knowing the nature
of the church and the possibilities Of progress
ard change
lit is shown that American decisions recognize
the difference, and accord to the church, acting
under its constitution, the right to alter its
creed, or to unite with another without i'm
pairing its right to its property.

LIE distinguished and scholarly English SIS
ters Mrs. Lewis and Mrs Gibson who visited
Union Theological Seminary last year, con-
tribute paper to the September number of the
Century Magazine. 1t is entitled "Hidden
Egypt" and is narrative of their visit to the
Coptic monasteries of Egypt and Nitria, re-
counting their remarkable adventures and ex-
periences among the strange monks Their
search for manuscripts in these Coptic retreats
not rewarded by any brilliant success,
though they secured access to the old collections
cherished from an early age in their ancient
hiding places The Coptic Church has repre-
sented through the centuries one Of the most
ancient divisions of the Christian Church. The
primitive church of Egypt counted Mark as its
first patriarch, and included Athanasus among
its popes and Origen among its teachers. The
name Copt is the Egypt of Egypt, but slightly
softened. The Coptic Church is now much re-
duced, is quite shut up to its narrow traditions
and Journalism, and is in a critical position 1t
has two determined enemies, MOhammedanism,
Roman Catholicism, and one friendly rival, the
American Presbyterian mission. Mrs Lewis
thinks there are three causes at work against
the old Coptic Church, the Word of God by the
American mission appealing to intellect and
heart the temptation to leave the obligation of
fasting for one hundred and seventy DAYS in the
year, which by lack of nutrition has told on
the physical being of the race, and the harsh
restriction and bondage of their marriage laws
aNd customs. These ladies, like MANY others,
have cherished the hope that the ancient church
would awaken to the need of an educated minis
try, well grounded in the Scriptures and apt to
teach, and so become assimiated to the Pro-
testant and evangelical churches of the Chris
tian world

and Presbyteries provide for the collection Of
the annual payments that have been pledged.
We wish to call attention to the impressive
fact that the results already accomplished in
the direction of Christian education are ex-
tended and of unmeasured value. Public atten-
ton has been awakened and cultivated Money
has been given and more is pledged, that is
already giving new life and power to our insti-
tltions. The higher and Christian education
has been given to a largely increased number
OF youth. The church is receiving the fruits in
additions, and mission work has been consider
ably extended. The Permanent Committees of
our Assembly, with DR.. j. B. Shearer and DR..
Ii. A. White as the chairmen, have been con-
tnued. We suggest that the reports of these
two committees and the action of the General
Assembly are most excellent reading.
