OF the stand taken by the Japanese Church with ref
erence TO independence and sef-government. The
position taken by the committee, however, with ref
erence to our missionaries working In Japan is that
they cannot properly subject themselves or the funds
contributed by the home Church and placed in their
hands for the work under the control of the native
church, In such way would nullify the power of
control which must still be retained over them by their
home Presbytery and by the General Assembly
through its Executive Committee of Foreign Missions

HELPING ONE TO HELP ONES SELF.

To those in touch with the management of the
Richmond Exchange for Woman's Work, it seems as
if it would be only necessary to tell fraction of the
good accomplished by it, to enlist the interest and
to secure the support it needs so much While much
has been said and more written, there still to
be vague, wrong conception of its aim and need.
1t was founded in 1888 and Incorporated few
years later, and from the very first has been sue
cessfu The year Just closed showing increase in
business far beyond any year in its history Its sole
aim is to help gentewomen in reduced limited
circumstances to help themselves, though of course,
needy would be debarred from sending
her work if it reaches the high standard exacted
by the management.
It's income to conduct the business is derived from
the interest a small endowment fund, from sub
scriptons and from the commission of ten per cent
charged all sales This charge of ten per cent es-
tabishes the business relation between the Exchange
and the worker necessary to maintain her self respect
and to lift her to Independent attitude 1t (the
rate of commission) fixed in consideration of
the workers ability to pay, and not adequate
support for the Exchange, for it a rate at which
a merchant would expect to face insolvency in few
months time. To conduct the business expenses must
be incurred just in business where there is the
profit to provide an expense account we not having
this profit, seek our main support from our sub
scription list of annual 81 and honorary So To-
day, than ever, the Exchange needs support.
not only through this list which, at best is VARYING
and uncertain but from an increase of life members
whose fees $3.50 will be added to our email endow-
ment fund, fund bequeathed TO us by few of The
warmest friends and active supporters Of this noble
phanthrophy. ONE INTERESTED.

In the Southern Presbyterian, Dr. R. G.
Reed discusses the doctrinal basis resulting from
the union of the Old and New School Assem-
bes He argues and we think Justly, that
in accepting the lower standard of the New
School, the Old School is itself committed to
that standard. He says:
The Old School Assembly knew that the Stand
ards pure and simple meant to the New School
Assembly a test so low and lax as to allow the
doctrines taught by such men as Barnes Beman
and Beecher Knowing this, and consenting to
unite with the New School Assembly on that basis
they consented that henceforth for the whole
united Church the Standards pure and simple"
should mean the same low lax test Hence we
said, and now we say it again deliberately and
without the slightest culver in our voice that
the Old School church, from which we separated
in 1861, passed out of existence in 1870 Tt know
lngly and Intentionally went over to the New
School basis. 1t is on that basis to-day
