The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1906-03-21

Some of the departments of the Central have
been much abridged Of late, because of the large
demands for space in other departments. We
are approaching the end of the ecclesiastical
year, and those who represent the various causes
of our beneficent work are placing before the
people the needs or prospects or magnitude of
their work as the year closes. Again, there are
great questions before the church at large which
must affect our future welfare. 1t would be
strange indeed if these questions should not en-
gage the attention Of thoughtful men and elicit
careful consideration. We must welcome such
discussion when it is done with honest, earnest
purpose, and in the spirit of loyalty to Christ
After these seasons of special interest are past,
our pages will resume the variety and proper
tlons to which our readers are accustomed.
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1906-03-21

Inspired authors, like others, had favorite
words; because these words expressed favorite
thoughts. These authors were no less inspired
because of using words that training or tempera-
ment or cherished truths had made familiar
Peter was of an ardent nature, was demonstra-
tive, and therefore used vigorous and sometimes
impassiOned forms of speech. The word ''pre-
cious" was one that he was fond of using. He
regarded things that he valued as being pre-
cious; and we find him so expressing himself
frequently in his writings. In the book of Reve-
lation only is the word used more frequently,
and then chiefly in reference to material sub
stances.

Again he speaks of faith as precious "Them
that have obtained like precious faith" We
sometimes say of faith that it is nothing, be-
cause it is simply the act state of receiving.
But it is the channel through which blessings
flow into our lives, through which grace comes
into our hearts. The peace of God and joy of
his salvation come through faith Christ him
self, in whom care hid all the treasures of wis
dom and knowledge" is received by faith. Sure
ly faith is precious
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1906-03-21

Peter speaks of the ''precous blood of Christ"
He felt that his treasures all centered in the
person and work of Christ. He rightly esti-
mated the relative value of things, and he count
ed redeeming love among the first. The
blood took away guilt. 1t meant pardon and
peace and life He said, eve are not redeemed
with corruptible things but with the precious
blood" What could gold buy or wealth secure,
or power command in comparison with Redemp-
ton, or what the beauty of Gods fair creation
in comparison with a soul washed in the blood
of the Lamb?

Business Mems Conference, composed of
representatives of the United Presbyterian
Church has closed its session in Pttsburg, after
a most enthusiastic and profitable meeting.
There were over 800 delegates enrolled, incud-
ing some of the most influential men of the
church. These came from widely remote sec
tions of the country, some Of them from as far
off as the Pacific Coast The leading purpose
of the movement is to give new strength and
effectiveness to the working force in the indi-
vidual congregation. The meeting gave new
impulse and direction to conviction of duty
already awakened, and its members returned to
their homes with a deepened sense of personal
obligation, and will endeavor to impart to the
home churches something of the inspiration
which they received, and make the working
forces Of their congregations more effective by
developing the latent power that is going to
waste in the individual life of the church These
are some Of the topics discussed: "Conditons
Under Which We May Hope For the Largest
Results; 5" Reasons for Encouragement and for
Humiliation in Church Finance" GLOW Can
We Apply Business Principles to the Work of
the Church," "The Value of Organization :"
1.-The Dominating Principle in Mems Organiza-
tions;" "The Laymans Opportunity for Chris
tian Influence "Propoganda;' = 'Is There a
Place for a Mems Organization in the Ordinary
Congregation ;'"The UnfulAlled Mission of Our
Church, 'Reasons for Greatly Enlarging the
Activities of the Church - "The Undeveloped
Latent Resources of the Church, and How Can
They be Developed ?" conditions Under Which

This apostle speaks also Of promises as pre-
cious exceeding great and precious promises" 3"
They are very many. Their greatest value at
taches to the. life beyond our Immortality. The
gospel throws light into the great spaces of the
future and makes them real and secure. 1t dis
sipates the mists and our Lord shines there i'm
his true glory. "Where 1 am there We may be
also" Because l live We shall live also" His
promises are very precious. The future is made
radiant by them.
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1906-03-21

Again he says Christ is precious: "Unto you
therefore which believe, He is precious" Do we
ever think of his preciousness to the Father?
81 lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, elect, pre-
cious." The Father was talking of His own
feeling toward His Son when he used those
words. Do we so regard that Saviour who is
unto us wisdom, righteousness sanctifcation
and redemption? The one that loved us and
loves us now and will ever love? He and he
alone can fill the soul. "Of his fulness have all
we received" His value is beyond all estimate.

Australian Rabbits.

A writer describes a plague OF rab-
Its in Australia: "A farmer barri-
,ades himself In with miles upon
niles Of wire fencing, solely to keep
tut the rabbits. They eat their way
Up to the barriers, and IN the fight
or the green land within the wire
hey die In myriads. All around the
nclosed land they lie In heaps Of in
credible size. Swarm after swarm fol-
'oWs on, and at last the heaps Of
lead are SO high that the late Corners
make their way over the fence, and
he farm is sruined." That's q pretty
good story. but the latest news from
Australia Is that the whole level Of
he continent is being elevated by
hese strata OF dying rabbits-New
