New York Robert Carter & Bros. 12mo. pp. 305, with portrait. The distinction and the success which in this world are often won by con sistent goodness, fidelity, industry and general soundness and symmetry of charactor, without any remarkable in tellectual endowments, are well exhibit ed in this volume, particularly in the life of Dr. John McDowell. As says one of the contributors in a letter to Dr. Sprague: “To one class of persons the memoir will probably be very useful, viz: to young ministers of the gospel. When an ordinary young man contem plates the wonders achieved by the amazing: eloquence and genius of White field, Hall or Chalmers, he says, ‘Such attainments are so high that I can neyer reach them. It is presumption to think of it.' But when he shall see Dr. McDowell, remarbablo chiefly for piety, common sense, singleness of purpose, bringing many hundreds of souls into the church, and greatly edifying God’s people, he will say : ‘ By God's blessing I too may be distinguished for my ser vices in the Master’s cause.'" His ministry in Elizabeth and in the two churches he occupied in this city, resulted in bringing into the communion of these churches 1333 persons on pro fession of their faith, besides nearly a thousand on certificate. He was re peatedly called to other and wider fields of labour in the pulpit and in chairs, but in vain. He maintained his vigorous exertions for his Master’s cause unabated to a late period of his life. Philadelphia counts his work in the Spring Garden Church, especially, as one of the wonders of her ecclesiastical history. That church, of which Judge Allison, formerly one of its members, beautifully speaks, as “ the child of his old ago,” was, as we all remember, built twice over by Dr. McDowell, at an age when most men would have felt it proper to assume a “ supernumerary relation.” We well remember, as we gazed at the ruins of the first structure, yjhich had been crushed by a great weight of damp snow on a poorly-braced roof, what questionings arose in our minds as to the probable effect upon the'aged pastor. But the indomitable old man rose superior to the disaster, and meeting from the community that sympathy which the circumstances de manded and which was greatly stimu lated by his own “ pluck,” he gathered with greater case than before the sum needful to repair the damages and for years afterwards prosecuted with vigor and acceptance his pulpit ministrations under the restored structure. ,Wo have not space to allude to the many interesting reminiscences which could bo' extracted from the volume. LoDg ago, Dr. McDowell foresaw the present struggle, and rightly judged and denounced its cause. We may at a future time find room lor some ex tracts.

Oa the whole, a heavy number, Mr. Gillott'e article is a valuable addition to church history, and clears up what in his “John Hass” had to be left some what obscnro from want of authorities since in the hands of tho faithful and painstaking writer. Wo observe that the North American Review makes quite a show of learned and hostile criticism npon Mr. Gil lett’s great book, returning to the attack a second time in tho late number. The critic in the North American is at least as shallow and as igDorant of tho original source as he im agines the author to be; whereas the little, but ably-conducted sheet,publish ed in this State, Called tho Moravian, has shown more real knowledge of the facts than the critic of the North Ameri can; and while accepting Mr. Gillett’s work as one of great merit and general accuracy, has correctly indicated the few points in which the author needed farther light. Mr. Gillettmay well smile at the attacks of the North American carried ou with a pertinacity suggestive of some unworthy motive; they will only give notoriety to a work which needs but to be known to be appre ciated.

Mr. Eva, pas tor, himself once a scholar in the Sab bath-school, tells the story of this thriv ing, numorous and much-blessed organi zation with fullness, accuracy, and animation, relieving it entirely.of mere dry detail. His own personal reminis cences contribute much to its interesting character. Over a thousand names are on the roll of this great hive, and we think a swarming process would sug gest itself to pastor and a people as a useful and appropriate incident in the middle of the century of their prosper ous history. On Certain Harmonies of the So lar System, By Prof. Danl. Kirkwood, Indiana State University, from the American Journal of Science and the Arts, for July, 1864. - , Prof. Kirkwood is already favorably known as the author of certain laws of the relations of the planetary bodies— their masses, motions, and distances— which in this article he still further elaborates. The theory of the writer here stated rests upon the supposition that “ in the first stages of their history Heptune and Uranuss constituted a sys tem of closely associated, [nebulous] rings; Saturn and Jupiter another, &c., and that the law of planetary distances might be found in the relative situation of the centres of gyration of those bin ary rings.” His researches, he says, “ led to the hypothesis, that the differ ences of the radii of gyration of the primitive rings, form a geometrical se ries.” Catalogues.

The Committee on the subject of pro-- vision for Disabled Ministers and the Families of Deceased Ministers, in indi gent circumstances, respectfully REPORT That in-discharging the duty assigned them, they have given a careful exam ination td tho'whole subject as one which deeply involves tbo honor and prosperity of the Piesbyterian Church, and which, therefore, earnestly calls for immediate attention and effective regard. From actual investigation it appears that every other branch of the Church of Christ, either in its organic capacity or through its subordinate ecclesiastical bodies, has adopted and carried into ef fect some measure for the relief of its ministers and their families;' while, it must be acknowledged,that we have thus fir failed toinitiate any effort to make suitable provision in behalf of this suf fering class. The Committee;"believing that its ap-, pointmentindicates a disposition on the part of the church to remove the re proach which has justly attached to its past inaction, bog leave to submit, First and succinctly, certain considerations of Christian duty and church policy upon which is based the obligation of the church to provide for her disabled ser vants ; and next, more fully to state the several plans by which this duty has been proposed to be accomplished, with a commendation to immediate adoption by this General Assembly of that me thod which seems, in the judgment of your Committee, best adapted to accom plish the desired object. 1. The grounds upon which the obliga tion of the church rests in this matter are simple, clear and positive. For the least and lowest consideration, as a-por tion of Christ’s poor, as among tho high est class of his needy ones, characterized as such with a-sublimo emphasis of truth, tho claim of Christ’s ministers to the support of Christ’s people is undeniably foremost. If the law of Christ, “Do good unto all men,” imposes an obliga-. tion on hispeople to help the unfortunate, tho improvident, and even the vicious, without the pale of tho.church, by the same law are they required especially to aid those that are of the household of faith. And if the members of that household, surely also they that have been solemnly, set apart and received as its spiritual heads are included in the obligations of that law. A higher and more positive consider ation is suggested by the divine ordina tion, “ that they who preaeffa the gospel should live of the gospel.” 'The priests of the temple were consecrated and sup ported for life, not merely during their term of active service. So Christ’s min isters are self consecrated to the work of tho ebureb for life. All their prepar ations are for that work, and that alone. In the act of consecration, followed by the life of self-devotion, they give them selves and theirs in solemn compact to the church. And, a-<every compact has two parties with corresponding obliga tions, the church on her part tacitly agrees to accept this service, to receive and keep them not only through their active tninis'ry, but for ilife. As the employees of the church, laborers fitted for her work and nothing beside, self eonsecrafcd and accepted tor Jife, debar- PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, JULY 21, 1884. red by their ordination vows from other occupations, their support is assured by the church for life. If there he an obli gation resting upon the State honorably to retire and prdvide for its disabled life servants, and to extend such provision to. their families, equally imperative is the duty of .the Church to do the same for her dependant ministers and their families. Ho Christian State fails to meet this obligation in some measure. Ho branch of Christ’s spiritual Kingdom should occupy a less honoimble position. These considerations plainly indicate ministeral provision to the end of life by the Church of Christ to he the just claim of Christ's servants, and the duty of his people. -Be it noted and kept distinctly in view, that it is a.claim of the one .and a duty of the other; not a charity received by one and dispensed by the other. It might he added, a, just policy demands of the church a cordial interest in and faithful discharge of this duty. The church needs men. Men, and especially young, 'inexperienced, and partially sanctified men, need, at least, the ordin ary, inducements in reference to future provision. If they give themselves to this work, and so cut themselves off from all o ther means of securing sustenance in the future, they ought to feel and know that they and theirs will not be left to penury and its' cod sequent'suffering. 11. As the second and main branch ol their report, the Committee next refer to the plans by which this duty of th% church has been proposed to be accom plished. From the actual investigation it is found that only three {plans.- have been seriously considered, or attempted to be canned into execution by other branches of the Church of Christ. • Ist. The use of the principle of Life Insurance. • v i 2d. The raising, by immediate and di- : rect appeal to the churches, of a Perma nent Fund, the interest on which shall suffice to meet the wants of -those for whom provision is intended! 3d. Annual Contributions by all the churches, to constitute a common .Fund, to be disbursed upon equal principles, under judicious rules. i 1. The Committee wouldijemark with respect to the first ol thes£ plans, the annual investment of premiums''in be half of individual ministers,jeithhHn an association created by a particular de nomination or in existing Life Insurance Companies,.that' only a single denomi nation has adopted and attempted to use the principle of Life assurance. For nearly thirty years the Reformed Dutch Church have had an association based upon this principle within their hounds. As that plan is now undergo ing a radical revision by the body, it may not bo improper to state, that, as clearly shown by its history, it has utterly failed. Tho failure id sufficiently indicated by the fact, that the fund yielded for distribution ambpg its own annuitants only §lO4 the year last re ported. But it needs no illustration to show that those who .most need provi sion cannot be reached, the wants/of the great majority,' at least, of this class can mot be met by anypraetipabla use of the principle of life-assurance! ' That principle is of necesgfty its application, local and.limitep. in its bene fits. There is no adjustinjßnt possible, whereby the principle can be univer sally applied, and the avails of general collections distributed according to exi gencies actually arising in the changing; circumstances of our widely-scattered ministry. 2. The second plan proposed is that of a Permanent Fund, to be raised 5 by im mediate and direct appeal to themhurch es; a fund of sufficient amojunt to meet, by its accruing interest, the wantß of those for whom, provision is "■ intended. Concerning this scheme, which has had many and earnest advocates, the Com mittee in this place would simply refer to the following facts, leaving the-more positive objections to its adoption to be mentioned in connection with the third and only remaining plan 1 It is a fact, and an argument of no inconsiderable weight, that the other great branch of our Presbyterian body, after a most thorough examination and discussion, protracted tbiio'ugh many General Assemblies, has decisively re jected this plan. It is another faot and argument, that bat oue denomination of the American Church, the Episcopal body, has attempted to sup ply tho wants of its disabled, ministers through a permanent fund- and the ef fort has come very far short ofitha ac complishment of the object. Their main reliance for this supply is now, as it al ways has been, upon the annual collec tions in their churches., The other fact, and, it is believed, argument too, though of a peculiar character, is found in our own past uxperiencein the gathering of P; rmanent Funds, in the history and the actual raising of our Church Erec tion and Publication Endowments. This history, it is 'believed, gives no en couragement to the most' enthusiastic advocate of a fund for the object under consideration. It fails to suggest even a speculative faith in the practicability of realizing, within any definite term Of years, a fund ot two, three, or four hun dred thousand dollars for an object so intrinsically worthy and desirable as this. It might be added as a serious ob jection to the existence of such fund, if it could be gathered, that it would lock up and leave to stagnate a largeamount of money. Unlike the Erection and Publication Funds, the bulk qf which is kept in active use, this woulfl, lie still, merely earning its own small interest, itself exposed to danger or foss, a« well as imposing very grave responsibilities: upon those chained- with .its manage ment. ' l7t 3. The remaining plan ig that of An nual Collections in all the churches to constitute a Common Fund to be dis bursed upon equal principles’under judi cious rules. Tour Committee wish to be understood as strongly commending this plan, with the simpleadui ion ofastanding request for special contributions and legacies, in order to the gradual formation of: a small fund to meet exigencies arising from general local ciuis'es cbnheet'cd with thofinaneialt-eonditibnofthe-country. They favor the • immediate adoption by the Assembly of the plan as thus stated, and beg leave to present the following as the principal reasons to be assigned for its adoption: As respects the distinction between a general and local (for example, a Presby terial or Synodical) fund, it is evident that the former alone can secure ade •qate and equal provisions for all. A general fund is necessary to equalize the burden upon the church by bringing in her -wealthier portions to supplement the contributions of the poorer. It is essen tial, too, since practically the larger number of those needing assistance are found in the feebler sections of the church, further more, it isi in accord ance with the generic order of Christ, that the strong should support the weak;, and with the apostle’s specific direction to the wealthy church of Corinth, “that their abundance should.supply the want of others, that there might bp equality.” In the next place, comparing the plan of Annual Collections with, that of a Per manent Fund, it is to be observed that the former, i. e. the collection of a few thousand dollars year by year, could not and would not interfere with the demands of the great charities now in corporated into the organic'working of our church; while the raising of a Per manent Fund would, for the years spent in its slow accumulation, act; with a real and serious detriment to these leading interests of our body. Further, as a consideration directly bearing upon, the comparative value of the two plans, it is undeniably just that every generation: should bear its own burdens and meet its own obligations. It is unjust to im pose upon the State and the Church of the present generation the burdens and claims which belong to. a future gene ration. It were as just.,aye,and as wise, to exact from the citizens now consti tuting this State or this Nation the millions or thousands of millions neces sary to support governmental and other institutionsfor a hundred years to come; it were as just and wise to' ask of the existing generation of Christians the means of sustaining the ministry, and carrying on the operations of the church for the entire future of her history to narrow.the range and sharpen the point of the analogy, it were as just and wise to put upon the present generation of Christian and benevolent men the maintenance, for an indefinite period in the future, of all other classes of Christ’s poor, as to require or to do lit, in behalf ,of this particular class. the simplest justice exacts a similar obliga tion in this last as in all th!e preceding particulars. Manifestly each generation of citizens is bound to support its own institutions of State ; each: generation of. Gbristiauf.is bound to sustain its own church institutions and servants; to minister to the wants alike of its active and its disabled ministry.! And not justice merely, but the highest utility op poses the plan of endowment, while it imperatively calls for that of annual collections in behalf of the class in ques tions. The Church of Christ needs the repeated appeal in behalf of Christ's poor, as one one of the most effective means of developing a practi cal Chriatlike spirit. it will be Admitted, is the. object oti the divine arrangement, that we should have the pooralvrays with us. Hereirj is furnished the most lofty and persuasive of mo tives, the most powerful and healthful of all the stimulants to a Chbstlike sym pathy and beneficence. The very , ap peal, and much more the act of response, is adapted .to waken, to exercise, and expand the kindliest, best feelings in the Christian’s heart. in this appeal and response in behalf of Christ’s poor, tffe Church finds alike a duty, a privilege, and a benefit. It this be bo with regard to the poor of other classes; ifduty, privilege, and spiritual advantage demand afrequentappeal in their behalf, much more with referenee to this high est class, Christ's disabled', dependent, suffering ministers —those faithful ones who have toiled for Christ and souls ■while they could, whose tojls have pre cluded their layiDg up this worldls goods .in provision for the time of ago'and in firmity. ! The last and most convincing consi deration in favor of the Plan of Annua 1 Collections is, its uniform success where it has had a trial. The actual experi ence of other churches conclusively in dicates this plan to be thej most practi cable and efficient in its working, and in all its effects, both upbn the miuisiry and church, productive of the best, most useful ends. The Moravian Brethren, the Methodist, and Protestant Episco pal Churches, have all long adopted it, and report it as working well. - The other branch of our own Church having, after ten yeafß of discussion, decisively adopted it, (with the addition of the request for special donations and lega cies,) report that the plan produces yearly an amount in excess of the de mand. The Secretary in charge of this interest reports to the Assembly now in session at Newark, the disbursement of about $14,000, and a surplus of nearly $lO,OOO id the treasu y, as the history of the plan for the year just clo.-ed. Sustained by these considerations and facts, your Committee confidently com mend to the adopiion by the Assembly of the Plan of Annual Collections inallits churches, together wth a standing request for special contributions and legacies to ward the creation of a. small permanent fund, the principal of which 1 as wed as in terest may be drawn upon to meet unanti cipated exigencies. If this plan be adopted by the Assem bly, as it is important that the churches have an intelligent aniirebension of the amount requisite f -r i s successful initi ation, the Committee veniure to name the sum of $lO,OOO as that which this lust hut not least worth; claimant, upon their benefactions should rtC-cive during the ensuing year. As respects ihe: agency and method by which the fuud so gaiiierd shall be disbursed, the Committe recommend, in outline simply, that it be entrusted to the care and control of the Trustees of the Presbyterian House, to be by them disbursed, through a Secretary or Agent to be appointed for the purpose, upon the recommendation of the several Pres byteries within whose bound its deserv ing claimants reside; and that the principles and rules of distribution bo left to the considerate judgement of the gentlomen composing the board. In conclusion, the Commit’too submit the following resolution for the adoption of this General Assembly: 1. j ßesolved, That a fund, to be called “ The Ministerial Belief Fund,” for the relief of disabled ministers in connection with this body, and the families of mi nisters who have deceased while in our connection, be constituted by annual collections, m all our churches. 2. Resolved, That in order to consti tute and maintain such fund, it is hereby enjoined upon all our Presbyteries to take such action as shall secure an annual contribution thereto. 3. Resolved, That the fund thus col lected bo entrusted to the Trustees of the Presbyterian House, to.be by them disbursed upon the recommendation of Presbyteries, upon such principles and rules of distribution as they shall deem most equal and benefical. 4. Resolved, That for the special over sight and care of the interest thus com mitted to them, the Trustees are author ized to appoint a Secretary, whose duties shall be prescribed, and whose salary determined by the board.
