Extract from Letter of Dr. II. II. Jessup .---.
Beirut, Dee 26, 19O5-In our Bible printing work
we are confronted with crisis, and it might be
called a calamity We have printed Al 900 600 paoes
OF Scriptures and the call continues We have added
a new press and engine and now the American Bible
Society calls halt and cuts down its appropriation
to a simply destructive figure 1t saws virtually
Suspend work the great, large type, first-font
Arabic Bible" We cannot do it. 1t must be finished
before DR.. Hoskins goes away next summer. We have
to order paper from Europe six months in advance
DIR. Bowen says "Countermand your big order for
paper now and wait" Then ii relief comes we shall
have to wait another six months before the press
wheels can move! Has the church at home lost in
erest in the Arabic Bible just at the time when the
demand is greatest and the machinery is ready to
print, bind, and ship it?
We need $4,000 this coming year as a special con-
ribution to the American Bible Society for work on
the Arabic Scriptures. 1t is peculiarly an American
enterprise and should be carried on by American
funds
1t is the common work of all branches of the
Christian Church, Presbyterians Congregationalists
Episcopalians, Reformed Baptists, Methodsts and
all who believe and love the Bible.
Cannot raise the alarm that lust
when the Moslem nations are receiving the Arabic.
Bible gladly, must say 'No, America is too poor
Let them wait until somebody in America has time
to earn little money!"
Dr. II. H. Jessup, the veteran missionary cries out
in alarm at what lies Immediately before us unless
we can get the money that is needed. Is not this
matter which demands mperatively the attention of
all the Christian churches? What is happening in
the Arabic-spealing lands must happen nuatS nllt-
tdHdis all the world.

ATTENTION. PASTORS.

The attention of all pastors from whose congrepa-
tons there are boys in attendance at Blacsburg is
called to the following action of Synod:
MIR. Woods is the efficient pastor of the BlacEsburg
and Roanoke Valley Churches. He is doing a work
OF great value to the Synod in Backsburg where he
looks after the spiritual interests of about 200 bows
from Presbyterian families, and many others from
families of other denominations. His church exer-
cises a strong influence for good located as it is
where over 500 boys to be moulded in character
and scattered for their life work over the two Vir-
glnias and other States. The Synod wisely con-
cluded at its last meeting to supplement the salary
of the pastor at Blacksburg
In this connection and as a means of meeting this
obligation, note the following proposition from a
parent having boys at Blacksburg:
Seeing the proposition of the Central PRESBYTERIAN
Tor the Synod of Virginia to supplement the salary of
the Presbyterian pastor at Blacksburg [ move an
amendment to the proposition or a substitute there
Tor. There were last year, something like $50 bows
at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute who came from
Presbyterian families. 1 propose that the pa
rent, or guardian, of every boy at this school who
reels that his child, ward will be benefited by
having the opportunity to attend every Sunday upon
services conducted for Gods worship, as Presbyer-
lans conduct such services, send at once to Rev D.
- WOODS blacksburg, Va, money order for So, and
the work will be DONE and to start the "baH rolling"
enclose herewith order for $40 there being two
boys there who answer to name not unknown in
the history OF Virginia, and for whose training this
writer is responsible. Faith without works is dead
OreenVllle, Miss.
Continues the action of Synod-"This last source
of revenue could be made very fruitful one if overv
Presbyterian parent who has a boy at Blacksburo
would contribute small amount say So 90 or less5
to salary of pastor who looks so carefully after the
boy welfare for nine months in the year. and this
doubtless would be done in many more cases if the
pastors IN the charges from q0hich these bous come
'could call the attention Of parents 10 it, The funds
given by Synod to this cause could not be better i'm
vested. IL is truly Home Missionary work,
Gan we not request that this suggestion be acted
upon by each parent guardian and thus enable us
to supplement the salary of our pastor This little
village church of not than fifty members is able
to raise but $4,000 in money for his salary and he
holds the charge principally because of his interest
in your boys.

Cheap Postal Notes.

Postmaster General Cortelyou has had
a commission at work for three months
devising system of cheap postal notes
for the transmission of small sums at a
minimum cost. He has just submitted
to Congress bill drafted on the basis
of the commissions recommendation
1t is proposed to sell postal notes in
denominations of 10, 20, 25, 80 40 so,
80, 10 IS, 80 and 90 cents, 81 $3.50, 81
and 81 So The fee for notes under so
cents will be cent; for notes over so
cents the fee will be 2 cents In addl-
ton special notes in denomations
from to cents will be sold without
any charge above it's face value. Not
only the money order offices but many
of the smaller offices will sell these
notes.
The purpose of the legislation is not
only to provide substitute for coins in
small mail remittances, but also to put
an end to the use of postage stamps in
that way. Coins are tempting bait for
letter thieves, and postage stamp re-
mittances, beside their inconvenience,
are perpetualy disturbing the normal
postage receipts, both of the small of
fees which sell them for this use aud OF
the large city offices, which have their
normal sales cut down in corresponding
amounts

Somerset Central Agricultural
Fair.
"A Word for Our Fair

In all walks in life, in nearly all enter
prises, the weak follow the strong, chill
dren look to their elders for their example
and try to initiate them and as rule 1t
is profitable for them to do so. In the
same way we might be expected in pro.
gram to follow in the lead of one or of
all of our great State shows. Each
has very carefully prepared program
and each is somewhat different.
The old Maine State is depending on a
Soldiers Reunion to swell their crowd,
The Eastern Maine State, under leading
features will show, Olive Swain, eques
trian long distance rider; Minnie
Fisher in her slide for life; The Brown
family with trained dogs; The Alabama
Colored Troubadors, Almost contiu-
ual circus before the grand stand
The Central Maine Fair seems to be de-
voting large part of it's energy and
many valuable premiums TO get together
monster dog show in the interest of
agriculture
Now what shall we do? These attrac.
tions will all be worn thread bare before
our show comes off, Sept. % 20, and 81,
and are they all purely agricultural?
Let us take departure from many of
our great shows, let Us come together
and compare our cattle, our horses, our
sheep, our swine and poultry as well as
the products from the farm and garden.
Let us give our specials to encourage
the breeding of fine sheep and better
cattle, to the raising and training of
better colts and horses, not forgetting
the mortgage litter of the farm, the
little hen
We have the promise that some of the
finest herds of cattle in the state will be
shown. The great fairs have to look to
Somerset county for large part of their
best cattle and sheep We expect to
have the choicest Ct them all here and
we shall try and furnish comfortable
quarters for them all with all the hay
and straw they need. How this grand
diversion from these great leaders will
strike the farmers of Somerset county we
are willing to wait and see.

were always especially noted, for good
appetites. Apropos of which, | wish to
tell story about Mr. Danville Thurs
ton, who is neither Paul nor a Hobart
but who Is a cousin to all the Hobarts
When young man of twenty-five and
living in the family of Uncle Daniel
Hobart of East Madison, he was heard
to say at the dinner table, when hastily
making way with his third piece of
custard pie, that he wished Madison
pond, (now Hayden Lake, was one
great, big custard pie, and that he was
in the middle and obliged to eat his way
out; he would be home before sunset
After which Willis G. Hobart immedi-
ately made bear rush upon all the
visible supply of custard pie, and soon
had thirteen pieces in front of his plate.
The dinner hour was indeed a joyous
occasion. There was much sparkling
wit and repartee, and In the end no one
table seemed ahead of the others in the
matter of making way with choice
viands or in brilliant conversation At
ter dinner about twenty letters of regret
were read from different members of
the two families and a beautiful poem
about both the Paul and Hobart fami
lies by Mrs, Julia Gray, one of the SEN
iors unable to be present. At the close
of these exercises, Mr.. Dexter Paul an
nounced that the guests present desired
to present DIR and Mrs. C. A Paul
with token of their esteem and appre
citation in the shape of some sterling
table ware which was received with APP
propriate remarks by the Doctor
