Subscribers who do not give express notice to the contrary, are considered as wishing to renew their subscriptions. 2. If subscribers order the discontinuance of their periodicals, the publisher may continue to send them until all arrearages are paid. 8. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their periodicals from the office to which they are directed they are held responsible till they have settled the bill, and ordered them discontinued. 4. If subscribers remove to other places with out informing the publishers, and the papers are sent to the former direction, they are held re sponsible. b. The courts have decided that refusin.. b to take periodicals from the office, or removing and leaving them uncalled for, is prima facie evidence of in tentional fraud, 6. Papers cannot be discontinued after the year has been allowed to commence, except at the op tion of the proprietors. POEITMASTERS.—The Postmaster General has recently decided that if Postmasters do not give published of newspapers notice when their papers remain in the Post Office without being taken out by subscribers, within five weeks, they are liable for the pay. rirt digiono OUR OWN CHURCH Tribute of Respect to a Pastor. n —_RAWYERS CHURCH, ODESSA, Del., Jan. 6th, 1861.—Whereas, in the providence of God, our beloved pastor, Boy. 11, J. Gaylord, has been removed from us to another field of labor— Resolved, That we bow in Christian submission, although with heart-felt regret, to his removal, and earnestly pray that this our loss, may prove to him a present and an eternal gain. Resolved, That Rev. H. J. Gaylord, by his faithful ness and diligence min pastor among us for six years —by his excellent pulpit ministrations—by his kind ness and sympathy, and by his indefatigable efforts, both for the completion of our house of worship, and for our well-being in all respects,—has merited and secured our entire confidence and warm regard,—and that we affectionately commend him, and his beloved family to the Christian fellowship and love of all with whom they may associate. GASSAWAY WATKINS ; Chairman. Jssss ILOQINS, Secretary. Crawfordsville Presbyterial Home Mission ary Fund.—The report of the Secretary and Tres. surer sem The collections to our Presbyterial Home Missionary Fund are now complete. The re sults, .you will observe, are $5Ol 73, and this has aided in sustaining the Gospel in allthe churches of our Presbytery but three, vie.: Attica, Crawfords• Ville, and Williamsport. This amount, we feel safe in saying, has been easily raised. Rev, C. N. Mattoon, D. D., for the last three years Preyklent of Farmers' College, Cincinnati, has been palled tothe Second Presbyterian Church of Rockford, 111. The Church at Mendota, 111., has nearly doubled during the year. The Eev. E. W. Kellogg, late of Tonawanda, N. Y., has removed to Purtageville, N. and taken charge of the Presbyterian Church, at that place. Correspondents please notice. The General Assembly's Permanent Commit tee on Education have now under their direct care between fifty and sixty young men preparing for the ministry, most of whom are in their theological course. The churches, particularly those connected with the Synod of New York and New Jersey, by which most of these young men have hitherto been supported, and by which they were transferred to the Assembly's Committee, are particularly urged to be prompt and liberal in their contributions. . Presbytery of chemeng.—Rev. John Gray was chosen clerical Commissioner to the General Assem bly, Rev. A. W. Cowles, D. D., alternate. Elder J. Ross, of Horseheads, was chosen lay Comnfissioner, and elder Yr. T. Jackson, of Havana, alternate. In hie Faet-Day Sermon, Rev. Geo. Duffield, Jr., related the following aneedote: " A few months be fore the decease of the late Col. Benton, he said to a youngpolltical friend, then on a visit to Washington: ' Young man, you have seen the Hall of Patents, the Post Office, the Capitol; for whom have they been built at such enormous expense?' Por the people of the United States, I suppose,' United States! NO, sir, nol They,are for the Southern confederacy, which has been plotting for the last five and twenty years, and which I gteatly fear the nation will not wake up to discover, until it istoo The Rev. A. 0. Martin, has resigned his charge of the Presbyterian Church, in this city, and will seek another field of labor. The assiduity of Mr. Martin, during the past two years, in the line of his calling here, is eminently worthy of remark. He succeeded, in 4he face of many difficulties, in esta blishing here one of the largest and ninet interesting Sabbath Schools in the State, kept up abecoining in terest in his society, and caused many much needed and valuable improvements in and about the ebureb edifice, He certainly deserves the thanks and kind wishes, not only of his congregation, but of the com munity at large.—Cairo, 111, Gazette. Revival in Indiana.—A Pastor in Indiana writes to the Presbyterian Recorcler that he commenced spe cial efforts among his people on the 10th of January. After laboriug a week, he nays the whole commu nity was moved, and some twenty middle-aged peo ple came forward, saying ".Prayfor.u.s." We have continued our meetings; and idly there are some twenty-five or thirty rejoicing in hope; and perhaps twice that number earnestly inquiring what tbey must do to he saved. Clod is doing great things fur TERMS. us, and making our hearts glad. We have,ndopted no external machinery to or to eXciieinent-tthe simple presentation cf the tnith, and humble, per• sistent prayer, have been our whole reliagee._ The movement is still, silent, deep and all-pervading. , A solemn awe seems to hang sver the whole community. They think and talk of nothing else. God has gra ciously set his seal, upon the, inEittlimentality used, and answered far beyond our greatest faith. Revivals,- - A series of meetings was commenced in the Church, at Reynoldsburg, Ohio, January 22d. Amidst a precious season of awakening, in which twenty applied for admission to church membership, on the night of February 7th, the church buildi ng was destroyed by fire. The correspondent of the Christian Herald, under date of Feb. says: Our Methodist friends immediately offered us their > church to continue our meeting, which we accepted :;,thank fully, and last night met there, and to all appearance the interest has not abated in the least. To-day we meet to make arrangements to rebuild our house of worship: Dr. Pratt reports to the same paper under elate of February 11th, a "most precious revival" in .litook . villa, O. Oreenfieid, find.-Change of Relatio4.-4 spe cial meeting of the Indianapolis Presbytery wa's held on the Pith inst., at Greenfield, Ind.f The,Presbyte• rian church in Greenfield, in connection with the Indianapolis Presbytery, (0. S.) made an application to be taken under the care of the Indidnapolis Pres bytery, (N. S.) The request was granted, and the church cordially received. The church was originally in connexion with this Presbyteryoind has now re turned to its former relation. This was done with out any effort on our part to produce dile change. At the same time, Mr. Jos, T. Iddings, a licentiate of Kaskaskia Presbytery, (0. 5.,) requested to be taken under the care of this Presbytery; and his re quest was granted. A call for the pastoral services of Mr. Iddinga was received from the church in Greenfield, and being accepted by him, .Presbytery, after the usual examination, ordained and installed him pester of that church. • . Cleveland.—The:Second Presbyterian Church (lately Mr. Rena') has called Rev. Theron H. Hattreti of West Stwingfleld, Mass. Rev. Geo. B. Bacon, son of Dr. Bacon, of New gaven, has been called to the Orange Valley Presby terian church, in Orange,'N. J. Still Another Revival.—A correspondent of the Recorder writes that the church in Vienna, Grundy county, 111., under the pastoral care of Rev. A. Day, is enjoying a precious work of grace. He says: . A. series of special services was commenced about four weeks since. The .deeponed interest of the church, and the• growing solemnity'Of the congrega tion soon made it apparent that God waS . present, by the wonder•working power of Hie Spirit. The bre thren found themselves, to, the astonishment of some and to the joy of all, in the midst of a delightful re freshing from the.presence of the Lord. OMER BRANCHES OF THE PRESBYTE- RIAN CHURCH Epistle to the Georgians.—This , is the term which Professor Le*is wittily applies to one of Rey. Mr. Van Dyke's letters to the South, which has re cently appeared in the Journal of Commerce. We quote from the Professor's scathing article in the N. Y. World, in reply to Mr. Van Dyke-L. We ask permission, says the Professor, to quote a few sentences from this very characteristic letter, with now and then a parenthetical remark. "It is true," he says, "abolitionism (meaning, the vast re publican party,) seems to have gained a, great politi cal triumph, but I tell you, (he talks like :a plenipo tentiary,) if our Southern friends will only stand by us, as we-have stood by them, it is a triumph which will soon be their ruin, And now that the - election is past, and Christian men and ministers can speak out, such doctrine as I have endeavored to expound in my sermon will have free course and be glorified." There is room for some comment here on this com parison of the Brooklyn sermon to the divine message of Paul to the Thessalonians—but to proceed further with extracts from this curious epistle, so lately pub lished in the Journal of Commerce. " The 'amazing excitement which that sermon has produced, and the favor with which it has been received, even in New England, (think of that,) only shows that the public mind was prepared for it." Is there not a various reading here ? I would suggest whether it was not rather meant that "the sermon was-prepared for the public, mind." When his heart thus swells at the thought of the - vast good his sermon has accom plished, he asks his meek "southern brethren" "that they will only wait a little longer," putting in practice, we suppose, a little of that Gospel virtue of si,..htaisruou_to lawful government which -they-I:lave-so long preached to the outlawed slave, "if.they will only wait a little longer," then " he feels free to say that unless the violent and unchristian agitation of the'slavery question- is checked (meaning the repub- Heart' party aforesaid) your State and all the South ern States, ought to break from a government that will not protect their rights, and from a people who disregard the plainest obligations of consanguinity and brotherhood. These religious demagogues have had their day. The prosperity of fools will destroy them. Tell .your friends this is the testimony (not of the wise Solomon, as some might suppose, hot) of a, man born in Pennsylvania, brought up iti.a north ern city, and now settled and sustained in the mi nistry of God's grace, and the favor of his people id the`city of Brooklyn. I will only add, and Ido see from a full heart, that whatever may be the fate of our country, there a union between such southern men as you and such northern men as I am, which earth and hell can never diss-Ave—for I am yours, HENRY J. VAN DYKE." The Convention at Pittsburgh seems to have been blessed already. One brother, who took an active part in the proceedings, writes: "We suppose that one hundred and fifty in all have been awakened in this church. We knew of one hundred and ten four days ago. Since that the work has been much ex tended. A large number begin to hope in Christ. I hardly ever saw such a day as one of the days since I last wrote. There 'are still very many apparently unawaketted."—N. Y. Observer. Rev. Dr. Samuel R. Wilson has resigned the pastoral care of the First Presbyterian church in Cincinnati Ohio. METHODIST. Edueation,—There are one hundred 'and fifty seven educational institutions connected with the Methodist E. Church, South. Dickinson College.—Years are entertained in re spect to the continued existence of Dickinson Col lege, Pennsylvania. That Institution loses her char ter when the number of students does not exceed ninety; and should those from the South secede, as they threaten, the number will be reduced below this standard. MeKendreeolle.—Dr. Cobleigh, President of the Me Kendreo Co llege,.Lebanon, Illinois, writes under date of the 12th inst.i as follows: "We have just secured, after much hard labor, twenty thousand dollars as the beginning of our endowment. This sum was necessary to save the College from ruin, as there were no other reliable means available to pay instructors, and even the twenty thousand dollais, the interest only of which can be used, will but barely answer. GENERAL Mr. Guinness.—A wrfter in the Nevebtryport Era says:—l regret that occasionally Mr, Guinness lets e)ip some sentiment which seems to me quite at va riance with the teachings of the Bible, or, if not at variance, so inaccurately expressed, so boldly put, that it has all the effect of an error. For example, in a -sermon preached on Thursday of last week, in the Green-street Baptist meeting house, he affirmed that the ten commandments were given only to the Jews, and were abolished, with the entire 'Jewish ceremonial, at the coming of Christ. Now, bearing in mind that the Plymouth brethren, with whom Mr. Guinness is supposed to sympathize, teach that the Sabbath was intended only for the Jews, we see the inference which can be drawn from the statement that the ten commandments were only intended for the Jews, etc. Is it not deeply to be regretted that such views are given to the people? Mr. Guinness is not, perhaps, aware of the eagerness with which opposers of evangelical truth, in this country, snatch at sentiments like these. The only thing now in Charleston, called by the name of "Union" is what one of your journals calls the 'flsldontide" Prayer Meeting. I went to the Globe-street Church this morning to hear what the elect think of Secession. The Presbyterian clel•gy man whom I heard pray, besought the Lord that they might not be plunged, by their enemies, into Civil War, and, in the next breath, prayed that they might succeed in their attack upon the Federal Government and its property. THE _Methodist Protestant protests against the lot tery system which the State of Delaware still tole- rates. It exposes the scheme of the lotteries, and pronounces, them "gross impositions, because they are evidently intended to entrap the unwary, to ex cite expectations not to be realized, and thus, under sanction of State law, to rob as many as may be ver dant enough to bite at the ridiculous bait they offer." It Bays:— "Can it be that any Legislature in Christendom will consent to be part and parcel of such a swindling Peter Funk concern as this lottery system assuredly is? Wewonder that Delawarecan sanction this whole sale system of bribing men to purchase tickets under pretences that appeal to them as dishoneit men. For, certainly such a letter as the above -[circular letter assuring him of a prize] is an' insult to every man to whom. it is addressed, who is not either a fool; or destitute of moral sonde.

The Iluzzelbash •Koords.-:—Ne-Arelindebted. to Sees tart' Wood, of the A. B. 0 F: M., in New York, for the following' recent intelligence of 'Missionary effort among 'this interesting people. It is contained in a letter',fitini Mii•Winchester,. of the Sivas Mis sion in. Turkey, :dated Nov: 28th,..1860. Mr. Win : . cheater sayst, We ~ h ave been visited, six or seven times, within the last 'few months, by Kuzzelbash Koords, Who come 'from villages about forty-five miles distant. - They called 'themselves Protestants, end entreated us to send them a 'preacher, of the Gospel. They said: 'We believe that Jesus, Christ is the only Sa•vionr . of loskrneD, i but as yet we are ignorant,' and you must teach us. You have the truth, and we have no , hope-of learning' it 'except through you.' Two of their number have, several times, attended our chapel services, and were very attentive listeners. They first called themselVes Protestants some four or five years ago. A Visit Among Them.,--Ao the entreat tod a helper to this people has been renewed with great earnestness, and pressed upon our attention so fre quently; 'it was deemed advisable that a missionary should visit them in their mountain home. In ac cerdance with a vote off this station, therefore, I started with Baron Krikor, a member of the theolo gical class whjehl hiid - dismiseeit the' ttieVious week. We anticipated some difficulty in , finding these moun taineers, but were happily. disappointed. On the af ternoon of the second daywe inquired'after those who had visited us at Sivas, giving their names, and were assured that we were within fifteen miles of their villages. We were also informed that these men were Protestants. Procuring a guide we went on, and reached one of their villages about sunset. Though we found, that evening, none of the Koords who had visited us, we were cordially welcomed, and were told, 'We are the people you seek, and you will stay with us to-night.' We were soon enjoying the warmth of a genuine Koordish fire, and refreshed by euji of Turkish coffae. With haste a repast was made ready, consisting of a lamb, newly baked bread, honey, yaghoort and pilaf. This passed, we dismissed oar - -Turkish - gitide-:anit - sat dttwitto - coiirerse with our Koordish friends without reserve. We spent the long evening with about a dozen of them, in reading, conversing, ; • singing and prayer. Our friends he- toned with:much interest as Krikor read and ex plained several chapters of the Bible. in the morn ing, a Koord, who had attended our chapel at Sivas, came running to welcome us, from another village, out of breath, and wet with perspiration, Visit to Sheik Suleymaxt. —ln company. with this Koord and several others, We started for the vil lage of Sheik.Suleyman, distant nearly .a day's ride. On our way thither we passed through four villaaesi, at each of which we stopped' a-short time, to take a cup of cciffee, read a portion of Scripture, and offer a prayer. We were every where received with great cordiality, and as we went onward the number in our company increased. On reaching the residence of the Sheik, we found he had gone to a village ten or twelve miles distant and was not expected-to return till the next day. A messenger was despatched for him, and in the meantime, we were entertained at his house, by his wife and son, - with true Koordish hospi lity. A lainb was roasted for us on a spit, by a large fire,.around which sat some fifteen fine-looking Koord. ish•men(besides several women and children,) listen ing to the truths of the gospel. - At length the chief ar rived, late in the night; and welcomed us, expressing great thankfulness that we should have come'so far to visit, them., Nearly all the 'night was spent in reading the Bible, and in conversation. Again and again the request was repeated, that we should send them a religious teacher. They said, "We wish to learn the way of salvation. If we remain in igno rance and perish, will not our blood be required. at your hands? We are ready:to receive a teacher, and if you will send one, we will care for him as we do for.our Sheik." The Parting—A Helper Sent.--This seemed to us a call of Providence. About - tifty families, Called Protestants, are united in this entreaty, and we feel that through these friendly KoOrds we •may hope to reach thousands of their race, many of whose villages we saw from the tops of the mountains which we crossed. The territory which they inhabit is about forty-five miles wide; and eighty or more in length. Such is the open door which we could not refuse to enter.. We told •the Sheik we would send a helper for a few months, and they seemed greatly rejoiced. Having thus.settled this question, we proposed to take our leave. Krikor read the 10th chapter of the Gospel of John; we sang in Turkish, the , hymn com mencing= • "How sweet the name of Jesus sounds In a believer's ear:" and as we rose to offer prayer, those present, about twenty, stood with us, with uncovered heads, forming a semi-circle in front of the fire. It was a touching spectacle. For them it Was a new attitude; we had evidence that marirof their'hearts Were moved with unwonted emotions; and'we pray that they may be renewed.by divine grace. Attended by, the Sheik's son for our guide, we parted from. them, receiving many expressions of - gratitude •for our visit, and reached home in two days. To-day we have sent away Krikor to begin his la bore among this interesting people. Two helpers be sides Krikor we have already sent to their fields of labor, and we hope to send two others in a few days— FOREIGN; Persecution in Spain.—lt will be. remembered that Lord John Russell gave an interview, on the sth of December, to a deputation on this subject, and that his Jordship drew a line of distinction between the countries ripe for religious freedom and countries un ripe, and intimated an apprehension that the people of Spain might be so unfortunately unanimous in their opposition to the principles of the Reformation, as to render it undesirable for •theloreign Minister of England, even in the way of friendly advice, to bring the case of Matamoros and his fellow-sufferers before the Spanish Government. The Evangelical Alliance has since made it its business to obtain in formation on this question; and it has arrived at the conclusion not only that a feeling in favor of religious liberty is not wanting in Spain, but that it exists there very extensively. Sir Culling Eardley has summed up in a.,letter to Lord John Russell, the grounds of this belief, and gives extracts from cor respondence with persons acquainted with Spain, as the Rev..A. C. Dallas, Rector of Wonston, Samuel Hanson, Esq., the Rev. Dr. Rule, Wesleyan Minister in Gibraltar and Cadiz for many years and Dr. Tre gelles, of Plymouth. Sir Culling Eardley proceeds to say that "these English testimonies are as no thing compared with evidence derived from distin guished Spar.iards of oppositq parties," and he quotes from a. letter from Spain which has appeared in the Civilla Catlolica, and also from an address to Don Juan de Bourbon, signed by Spanish residents in London. Sir Culling Eardley concludes; "Whether you k will consider the foregoing .testimonies to the feeling of Spaniards:on religious liberty sufficient to justify you in making, a friendly remonstrance with the Spanteb.

So strong is this feeling in' some sections, that, they are said to' refuse to ackno*edge - the secession ordi nance, and "keep; the'stars and' stripes flying. The same feeling prevails in portions of Mississippi and Louisiana, and the question hatqrally, arises, will the Southern Confederacy use doerOen against, its refrac tory subjeots? ' TFTE UNION MEN- IN etzon4n. are defeated, but not silenced. Says the Lagrange' (Ga.) Register, "The deed is done! Our rights'are not secureill We have been fifed and drunimed—and voted out of the Union. We still love the Union." VIRGINIA CONSERVATISM.—Washington, Feb. 15.

TILE 8 017TEIERN CONFEITEnAcy.-=-The Washington , correspondent of the U. S. gazette writes as follows " There is no probability of any immediate trouble between the provisional government extemporized' at Montgomery, and the . government' of the Union, which every true American citizen' and patriot re gards as the only one worthy of his recognition. The southern experiment contains the seeds of its' own dissolution, and Will beresisted whenever the South Carolina Convention re-assembles. The organic law against the African slave trade is.just as offensive'as any expression of northern e sentiment and is already denounced in that view. The tariff adopts the very principle against whiCh South Carolina rebelled be fere, and in which the secessionists of Florida, Ala barna, Georgia and Mississippi sympathized!' MARYLAND.—A Maryland State Convention assem bled, Feb. 18th, at Baltimore: judge Chambers de clared his'affection to the Union, and viewed secession as a curse. MISSOURI—The election in Missouri for members of the State Convention, resented in-a victory for the Union. In St. Louis the Unionlicket received five thousand majority.

Bth and 9th, in New York city, and among them were manyleretofore deemed opulent.— If it had not been for General Scott, the secessionists say they would have taken the Capital and public buildings as easily as their Southern confreres took the unoccupied forts and custom houses in the se ceding States.—The South Carolinians have erected a breast-work of railroad iron, to protect a battery directed against Fort Sumter. CONGRMS. SENATE.—Tuesday, Feb. 12th. - -Among other peti tions was one presented by 'Mr: Crittenden in favor of his compromise, and signed ; by twenty-three i thou sand citizens of Massachusetts. A sharp debate then ensued between Messrs. Sumner and Crittenden, af ter which the Naval Appropriation. bill was taken up. Mr. Green, of Missouri, took the Boor and spoke at some length, taking the ground that Fort Sumter is not the property of the United States, and, cense- . quently, is wrongfully withheld from South Caro lina. The amendthent making an appropriation for seven sloops of war, was then concurred in. Yeas 27, nays 17; Messrs. Bigler, Douglas, Johnson, of Tennessee, and Latham, voting with the Republicans in the af firmative. 'The bill passed as amended.

Housz.—ln the House a report was 'received from the Committee on Indian Trust Bond abstractions, and ordered to be printed. On this the North .Apte rico?' remarks—"lt must be admitted that nothing in American ,history, can be found bn a scale at all comparable with it. The eight hundred and seventy thousand dollars' worth of, bonds stolen from :the Indian Trust Fond is but a small share of the" ag gregate stolen from'citizens or the government.' The committee evidently leans toward the adraissien or the acceptances now in. the bands of innocent holders to. be at least equitable: claims against the govern ment., Before this ground is taken, we hope ,a care ful examination of the Position of every holder .will be insisted on.

Great joy is manifested at this result, especially among the co lored population.' FOREIGN: There is littli3 foreign intelligence of importance. On the whole there Seems to,have been an improve ment in the state of the money market in England. The Sardinian army and navy, now relieved of . the interference of France, were vigorously preesing the siege of Gaeta, and were'but feebly replied to by the besieged: The Treaties with China.—The Phila. Inguirtr thus analyzes the spirit of the recent French and English-treaties with this nation: The peculiar character of English aspirations, as indicated in public-documents, may be seen in the treaty which Lord Elkin has ,concluded; and the same observation holds good in reference to the French compact. England, manufacturing and com mercial, demands access to the ports and crowded cities of the Flowery Land; and, although the expen diture of Great Britain in the Chinese war vastly ex ceeded that of France, in the usual style of John Bull, there is a wonderful contempt of this fact , displayed in the sum which the British plenipotentiary demand ed. Then, again, while commercial advantages are secured to France, the agent of Napoleon—the eldest son of the Church—seems specially engaged in se curing -the interests of •religion. The.French:Cathe dral in Pekin figures largely in Baron Gros' diplo macy, and definite clauses secure ample ground and privileges in Canton for a French Cathedral. Now, although British missionaries are to litt found at Can ton, among Shanghai and numerous ports and sta tions along the seaboard, and although Lord Elgin is fully aware of the deep interest that in his native Scotland, and in England, iefelt for the cause of the Gospel in the East, yet the cause of missions seems never to have entered, into his mind. Facilities for trading, and a healthy static i for exhausted invalids at Coroloon, with a very moderate indemnity,eover all his demands. ITALY.—The great majority of the elections that have just taken place is favorable to the policy of Count Cavour. • The moderate party can count upon. more than three fourths of the votes in the new Parliament, and there is, therefore, no question of the'mOdifiaation of the Ministry. It is said that the l•;mperor of Austria has decided to grant a constitution to Venitia, which will leave the.government to Italy. ' SPAIN.—The Spanish. Infanta, Don Juan, has de= aided to relinquish his pretensions to the crown, re 7 serving the eventuality of being elected by, universal suffrage. NOTICES.

The country has been flooded with anti-slaVery argu ments; anti-slavery societies have persevered in syste matic, vigorous, and ingenious efforts to inculcate their peculiar views by means of public harangues,newspa pers, novels, sermorii, tracts, pictures% and other means of influencing the public. Meanwhile but very figle has been done to present the other side of the suhject. The American people believe in full and free discussion, and can hardly wish tridecide any question after hearing only one side, and even those who have formed opinions will be willing to consider argunst.nts, even though they tend to different conclusions, which . come from an emi nent source, and which are at once able, forcible, and The present work offers such argumentsfrom such a source.
