CHAPTER NH.

@fHE blow that struck Alvarado
down had stunned him rather
than anything else, and he
would not have been put out of
the combat so easily had it not been
that he was exhausted by the hard
ships of those two terrible days
through which he had just passed. He
faced the viceroy, his hand in that of
Mercedes. with flush of pleasure and
pride upon his face.
1t was the consciousness of having
won permission to marry the woman
whom he adored and who loved him
with Il passion that would fain over
match his own. We're that possible, that
so quickly restored him to strength.
With the realization of what he had
gained there came to him such an &C
cess of vigor as amazed those who a
few moments before had thought him
dead or dying.

GAINS DURING THE SIX YEARS.
Northern { hurch

Vixen we consider the comparative expendi-
ture of contributions by the two Churches,
single evangelistic enterprise of our sister
Church, involving the expenditure of probably
more than hundred thousand dollars, and
further consider the comparative wealth of the
two Churches, we do well to take courage, and
they and we may rejoice together in the bless
ing received, and humble ourselves in view of
our shortcomings.

The Southern Presbyterian furnishes a stats-
tical table, showing the percentage of gains and
losses in the Southern Church during the last
six years as compared with those of the North
ern Church. There is much danger of attach
ing undue Importance to statistics in estimat-
ing the real merit and efficiency of the Church.
But very reasonably the organic growth of the
Church is gratifying and encouraging to those
who share its interests and life. The table be-
low relieves us of any misgivings as to the COM
parative growth of the Church during recent
years:

DIR. Alexander Whyte, of Free ST. Georges
Church, Edinburg, by way of aiding his con
gregation in the selection of an associate pastor
to succeed Rev. Hugh Black, who has accepted
professorship at Union Seminary, New York,
preached recently on the qualifications of min

St Georges, was man who should have 'the
gospel of Luther and the science of Calvin. and

Hooker, and the devotion of Andrews. and the
rapture of Rutherford, and the exegesis of Good

of Butler and the beauty of Newman, and TIE
philanthropy of Chalmers, and the Christ only
and Christ always of Spurgeon," such man
was plainly not to be found and the preacher
conceded that the composite portrait that he

OF his intellectual alertness and endurance are

Blessed forever be the rain On the brown
burrows OF the plowman, on the far green pas
ture lands, over the fields Of rustling corn, far
up and down upon the mountain sides, it comes
with gentle drops, and then pours itself. out
abundantly, and sweeps in watery streets across
the land and then falls back to gentleness again,
until the clouds break and the sky is clear and
ever so deeply blue. The streams open tkeir
slivery arms to welcome it, and the breast of
the river rises and moves at it's coming. Has
nature anything so rich and generous as rain
The land would be a desert without the cloud
and its out-pouring, and garden and field and
forest be fruitless and brown and dead.
