The Committee is well organized, and the subcom-
mlttees do their work we'll But all feel the of
knowing more fully and clearly the will of God i'm
each matter. The Committee needs more of the love
and sympathy of Gods own people 1t is not
omnscient and its methods are not perfect The
work is very great and there is large need broth
erly love and active sympathy. This is particularly
true with reference to the men who do the work.
Since apostolic times there has perhaps not been
a day when the Church did not need funds to carry
forward its work. Because of the favor of God the
cooperation of his people, and the prudent
agement of its affairs, the Committee asks no col
lections for the salaries of the who depend upon
it for living. But there is large and urgent need
money with which to supply new and strug-
Cling schools with literature needed until they can
become self-supporting. The need for immediate and
large action towards Sunday school extension is
pressing. Splendid results coming already from
the expert work of the District superintendent and
there is need for charging this activity In certain
localities doing substantial service in lay
ing deep and strong foundations for churches through
building up schools here and there. Through this
work whole regions have been impressed at
most favorably with Church and its life. This
glorious enterprise waits wider extension until
Gods people provide literally for it.
Undoubtedly the greatest need of all is for prayer
The Secretary, Mr.. Magill, IS daily dealing with
large complicated, often delicate and always mpor
tant matters requiring all available human wisdom
But no human wisdom alone can match the demand
The Editorial Superintendent, Mr.. Lapsley is
stanty engaged in the study of the Bible to find out
its deep meaning and daily trying to discover the
very best way to present it. No human skill is
equal to this task. The Superintendent of Sabbath
school and Young Peoples Societies. Dr. Phillips is
engaged all the time in educational and executive
work great that he feels utterly helpless in the
face of human knowledge and skill. Business help
ers, editorial assistants field workers-al-all feel
the need of Gods gracious help. Hence the
preme and alncuding need is for prayer. o.
brother beloved, whoever you are and wherever you
may be- lift up your heart in prayer to God for this
vast enterprise. Pray for the Executive Committee
and for all its officers Pray for wisdom and power
for each in his station. Pray that may be filled
with the Holy Spirit and with power.

If CHRIST WERE HERE TONIGHT

III Christ were here tonight and saw me tired
And half afraid another step to take,
think He'd know the thing my heart desired
And ease my heart OF all its throbbng ache
If Christ were here in this dull room of mine
That gathers up so many shadows dim,
l am quite its narrow space would shine
And kinde into glory around Him.
If Christ were here l might not pray long;
My prayer would have such little way to 90:
'Iwould break into IL burst of happy song.
SO would my JOY and gladness overflow.
If Christ were here tonight Id touch the hem
OF His fair, seamless robe and stand complete
In Wilderness and in whteness; l. who stem
Such waves OF pain, to kneel at His dear feet
III Christ were here tonight Id tell Him all
The load carry for the ones | love
The blinded ones, who grope and faint and fall,
Following false guides, seeking Christ above.
If Christ here. All. faithle>s soul and weak
Is not the Master ever close to theeg
Deaf is thine that canot not hear Him speak;
Dim is thine eye His face that cannot see
Thy Christ is here and never far away
He entered with thee when thou earnest in:
His strength thine through all the busy day;
He knew thy need, lie kept thee pure from sim
The blessed Christ is in thy little room
Nay more, the Christ Himself is in thy heart;
Fear not, the dawn will scatter darkest gloom
And bring thee home, part.

THE PECULIAR UNTIAIELINESS OF
THE FEDERATION MOVEMENT.

In view of the fact that the Committee on Fedora
ton of Presbyterian and Reformed Churches will
meet in Charlotte, North Carolina. on March I4th
and that last General Assembly appointed a com
mttee to meet with them; i'm view also of the fact
that our Committee is not COMMITTEE on Fedora
ton" but Committee Closer Relations" vet is
to meet with this combined COMMITTEE on Fedora
ton it occurs to the writer that it will clear the
air little just at this juncure to point to our
people, the Peculiar UntimetHesS of the Federation
HoDement" The great danger upon us and around
us, as church. just now, is Fog There is not one
of us suppose, but what feels the charm of Fed
eration, absracty cOnsidered whose Christian heart
does not warm instinctivey, under any glowing low
ing presentation of being one" Indeed that
is the very Genius of Presbyteriansm," viz: to
maintain fixed attitude of real and genuine Chris
tan fellowship towards all evangelical churches. The
Southern Presbyterian Church has caught and has
always exemphed that spirit, in its purity, and her
historic position has been that of her hand held out
in standing welcome to her sister churches, in full
formal and sincere recognition of their ministry their
sacraments and their minstration of essential truth
This attitude of "FederatiOn' is hers already, and
always has been hers The fog" be lifted from
this fact, that people it clearly. For
it is indeed the true "Federation,7 and it is the
real explanation why people amiaby liberal
in temper and conduct towards other denominations,
and why they take kindly already said, to any
loving presentation of 'being one" 1t is because
their church has trained them to do
The fog will lift still from this fact when we
reflect that it is not true of at least of those
bodies which to be represented at Charlotte next
March.
So much then, by way of meeting the charge of
Isolation" and "narrowness," made against us for

our slowness in entering into the pending scheme of
Federation" to be discussed Charlotte. So much
also, in defense of the Title to this paper and its
charge. Namely, that the present Federation Move
ment is peculiarly untimely
While our church and her people are and ever have
been, in temper, conduct and historic attitude i'm
bued with the honest spirit of true 'Federation' it
has always been the basis of reverence for and fl
deity to vital Truth. Our position has always been
that of the Saviour in His prayer on the subject in
the 18th of John, viz: that true Oneness" could
only rest upon 1.-The Truth For as He asks else
where, chow can two walk together except they be
agreed?'
When there in the course of human events, signs
appear i'll the ecclesiastical heavens, of omnous i'm
port to Gods precious and vital truth; and these
signs spread into great clouds, overhanging nearly
all evangelical denominations, especially in the North
obscuring and befogging their position fundamen-
tai verities; when such time as this say comes on
us, then it is pertinent, is it not, raise the ques-
ton and point out the fact that under such circum-
stances, movement like the Federation Movement"
is peculiarly untimey."
1t is my purpose therefore in two or three articles
to come down to particulars, and to show that the
present Federation Movement is peculiarly untmey.
Because:
/. OF the drift Through "Federation') TO "IJntv"
at the expense of Truth.
2. OF the decay of fundamental faith and
morals already seriously affecting the churches.
). OF the rapid breaking-down of the essential and
recognized bulwarks to the preservation fundamen-
tai faith and morals.
4. The principal significance of our past, as a
church, and its only explanation
Inn ay not be able to all of these points, and
for fear of this will say here now the outset that
all of them, each much the others, are sup
ported by evidences most abundant whose reliability
If space allowed the spreading of them all before
the reader, would satisfy every reasonable mind The
aim of the writer Will be, mot by handling 'the sub
Ject deceituly, but by manifestation of the TRUTH"
to convince all who read this, that the present FED
erdtion Increment IS peculiarly ntimely."

"MODERN MYSTICISM"

BI KEW. j. b. SIIEARER, d. d., l.. L. ID.
Rev. DIR. John II. Bocock said in our hearing
he had wasted so much money buying books that
he would give duplicate copy to any one who would
tell him OF a new book worth its price. Modern
Mysticism" is well woy4i, its price 1t is the only
book on this subject known to us The author has
evidently given much time to the study of his subject
and has written conviction. He is deeply in earn
est Although poemc in effect the spirit is paca-
1ic and there is not harsh word in it, His armory
is the Sacred Scripture.
The book supplies want felt in the church for q
long time The borderand between Mysticism and
the work of the Holy Spirit is shadowy and it is diff
cult to say at times where the stops and the other
begins. DIR. Shearer undertakes to draw the line be-
tween Orthodox and Heterodox Mysticism or that
which is warranted by the Bible and that which is
not. Nor does he handle that Mysticism which has
always obtained both in Christian and heather lands
but limites his inquiry to Modern Mysticism" To
trace back Gnostcism to Plato and Monasticism to
Brahma; Jansemism, Anebaptism Quietism and other
forms to their formative influence would be "inter-
estng" but hardly profitable at this time.
In our day and within the last thirty years. an in
tellectual rather than sentimental mysticism has
sprung up, which claims to test truth and discern
spirits by subjective processes and by critical sense
They profess to discern and verify truth by an inner
light in the Christian consciousness. They are not
limited to any branch of the Christian Church. but
seek to revive the dead orthodoxy all the churches
The leading propogandiss of this school are both lay

to preach directly from the Holy Spirit, and not
from any church or school of theological learning

\ VAST ENTERPRISE.

The territory in which the work of Southern
Presbyterian Church is being done is embraced with
i'll eighteen states, having present population ac-
cording to careful estimate, OF 30,4SSO29, which is
rapidly increasing from native birth and from i'm
migration. The membership of church is 24G,-
100, which represents least million population.
Our churches uneveniy distributed this
region being most numerous Virginia, North and
South Carolina. Great areas are without decided
Presbyterian influence. Here mountains and
plains, valleys, highlands, country and city. Here
are white people and black people, and people from
many lands. Here cultured communities and
neghborhoods long deprived of school facilities Here
people living together factory towns, and
others living scattered large farms. In extent
of area, variety OF population, in widely differing
conditions are the elements which combine to make
our churchs problem OF evangeization and educa-
ton very great one.
The regular preaching of the Gospel is a mighty
of reaching the people, and the evangelistIc
meeting is still wonderfully blessed by God in the
salvation OF the lost. our schools and colleges

lifting up the people. The church has created an
institution which IN a wonderful way combines in
