THE WIDE MISSION OF THE
SOUTHERN CHURCH.

1t Isl no partisan assumption, but fact
readily verified that the Christian body, known
the Southern Presbyterian Church. is espec-
tally adapted for the service of true religion in
all sections of the land By it's great out
standing principles and by the practice of them,
it is fitted to present the Gospel of Gods grace
to all classes and in all sections The elevated
position it has taken from the beginning, and
maintained in actual practice, by its church
courts, by its pulpits and by it's literature, has
given to it a character, spiritual power and a
public confidence that are not only distinctive,
but make it eminently fitted to carry "a pure
Gospel and an effective message to all men.
Affirming the spiritual mission of the Church
and exhibiting it in its practice, the sufficency
of the Gospel for its great mission, the exclusive
devotion of the Christian pulpit to religion,
resting the claims Of its messages upon the au-
thority of God in His inspired Word, it has in
these things found just reason for it's being,
distinctive character among the brotherhood
of churches, and a high and inspiring mission.
If this be "isolation," then it is something to
be thankful for before Cod and to be carried
as banner across every field. These are the
tilHSS llldI nave elevated the ChUrch above the
matters of strife among men, political, contro-
versial or sectional These are the principles
and practices that emnently fit it for the proc-
lamation of the Gospel and the teaching of re-
ligion pure and undefled among all sorts and
conditions of men, in all sections of our
country.
IT is fact of wide observation that people
from other sections of the land. making their
homes in Southern communities have found
the ministration Of our church most profitable
and acceptable, without breath Of sectional or
political meaning, or any teachings or illusions
that were offensive in the slightest degree Wit
nesses of this fact may be found in nearly every
church in the South. Tn Southern city where

and again chosen the Southern Church. because
the ministrations were those of religion. and

trifling to be heard. For forty years If has
been rare thing that family from the South
could sit under the preaching throughout the
North without offense and Indignation. Good
men and women have known that thew were

liable at any time to such sectional and partisan
declarations as outraged them and robbed the
service of all religious value. In many cases
Southern people living in the North have been
driven to other churches, or away from the
House of God altogether.
Another fact is that so often our Southern
ministers, of kind that are faithful to the
character of our Church, have been called to
churches III the North. People grow weary of
a ministry given to anything and everything else
than message from God, of which Christ and
Him crucified is the theme, and into which
there may be introduced at any time that which
is partisan, sectional and worldly In the ma
tons capital this summer, Southern minister
was heard in great church, every Sunday for a
month, by a great throng of public men, from
every section, of every party and class 1t was
not only that they were in that house on the
sacred day permitted to hear from an earnest
heart and mind the truth and claims of religion.
but that they knew before they came, that the
minister of the Southern Church principles
would remove them for that day from the secu-
lar and human up into the plane of the divine
and spiritual.
In large degree by its distinctive character
our Church is winning the respect and conf
dence of great numbers in all denominations
and in all the sections of the land There is
more need for the extension of the Church with
such principles and practices in every section,
North and East and West than there is of any
extension into our territory of any church in
the North
There is every reason why we should continue
our mission, as those that must give account to
God. We have reason to maintain our dignity
and self-respect and resist to the last all at
tenpts from without or within to silence our
testimony and surrender our banner.

DEAN HODGES AT YALE.
Addresses Students on "The Courage oi
 the Commonplace"

Addresses Students on "The Courage or
 the Commonplace"
 Dean George Hodges of the Episcopal theological seminary, Cambridge, preached at Battell chapel yesterday morning. He took as his text, Joshua, i, g. He said that the courage of the commonplace was more praiseworthy than the courage of the crisis. The courage of the commonplace is more difficult because visible rewards are wanting. The men and women of San Francisco were more courageous at the time of the disaster because they knew that the whole world was looking at them.
 I once met one of the men who. par ticipated in the battle of BalaRlava, said Dean Hodges, and he told me that the assault lasted twenty minutes. There are many men who could be he roes for twenty minutes, but a far smaller number who could be heroes for twenty years.
 Dean Hodges urged upon his hearers the necessity of taking a decided stand for the right. He spoke especially to the members of the incoming class, many of whom are free from parental or academic restraint for the first time in their lives.

MUcH LESS 1KREooNoILABLE
Redmond Repeats His Warning to
 British Ministry.

London. Oct. 8.-John Redmond, ad- dressing a meeting of the Irish league at Athlone yesterday reiterated his Limerick warning to the liberal minis try. but in much less irreconsilable tone. He said he did not ignore the grave political difficulties standing in the way of the ministers on the home rule question and that he and his col- leagues were most sincerely anxious to be able to support tn e government scheme when the time came. He said he had confidence in Sir Henry Camp bell-Bannerman, the premier, and James Brice, chief secretary for Ire land, as he was convinced that they were home rulers, but he knew what influences were at work and felt 1t his duty to remind the government that they in Ireland were unchanged and unchangeable.
 Tn an editorial article this morning the Tribune, liberal, interprets this speech as an acceptance of the plan of approaching the Irish settlement by in stalments and predicts that the govern ment scheme does not possess the ob- jectionable features that MT. Redmond fears.
 The Morning Post, conservative, is of the opinion that MT Redmond's s speech will please neither the extreme nationalists nor moderable liberals. This paper says Mir. Redmond seems to be preparing his followers to accept with as little grumbling as possible, an instalment of the nationalist de- mands.
