. In this brief treatise, or rather triplet

and carefnl examination into the facts
of modern slavery. Such able and vigor

advocates of a wronged Face, as our

the most earpest and. able, of these com

’Memoir of* Mead Holmes, Jr., Sergeant,
Co. K, 21st Wis. Vols. By his father.
"With an Introduction by- John S. Hart,
LL. D, 18 mo. pp, 240. Illustrated.
• American Tract Society/Boston.
We have received froffi® the esteemed
author, -Rev. Mead Holmes, of Mani
towoc, Wisconsin, a copy of the above
volume, which, Bince its announcement,
we have looked for with great interest.
The subject was a youth of uncom
mon promise—an only son—of devoted
and active piety, most affectionate and
dutiful, Id the domestic relations of life,
full of ingenious devices for the comfort
of others, displaying a real talent in the
line of mechanical achievements, a
bright, joyofis, noble American, youth,
just such as would bo enlisted with all
bis heart, jn such a cause as that of the
Morih, he eager to devote
his-best energies and life itself in its
‘behalf’ : / / ./
The young sergeant's animated, pic
turesque letters give a vivid idea of the
Scenes through, which he. passed, in-
olnding sufch terrrible battles as Perry-
villa and Stone River. In what tamper
' he met the ordeal may be seen from
tire following from' a letter,
written; hopae, immediately after the
last, mentioned battle. He says :
w,hen the. shells
, flew’sci thick an d fast, my heart beat as
steadily and firmly and I felt no more
alarm than if I were at our own Home
I adl bound to do my-duty:
all iWlrbe’wOll" i ' "
The father, commenting: >on
this sublime sentiment, says: 1 “The
element of power in our atmy is the,
religious element.’’ No officer would
ask for better soldiers than Such as the
younjlj sergeant here described. And
are • not our sad delays and lqgses in,
d|dliii.g/this tbo-protrac|ed war, in
ptavt asonbable to the willingness with
which good and true men look on, while
men devoid of the nqjjil!ful moral,quali
ties to meet our desperate foe,! and 1
rescue our noble enusej are suffered to
fill the ranks, under the pressure, of a
monstrous system of bounties ?
We foel a peculiar interest in ithe
volume, since learning that the patriotic
fervor of the youth was fed and nourish
ed BjO largely, by the religious press.
Says the] author in a note to the editor:
As l re member the eagerness with
which* the young hero grasped’ tho
Presbyterian from week to week, spe
cially examining your, editorials on the
war, 1 can but feel desirous that you
should know what a sublime Christian
patriotism he'developed.”
The author adds some questions which
may be appropriately quoted here ;
“ Had ho not a mission in the body,
and has he not a wider mission in the
Book ?
“Asa Soldier Of the Cumberland, in
the form presented may he not reach
thousands of circles that he never oould
have reached in the body, had he lived
a oehtury ?

PRESBYTERIAN UNION IN GREAT
BRITAIN.
, lhe negotiation for union between’
the Free and ’ Unjted Presbyterian
Churches makes favorable progress!
Tho Joint Committee held, two' pro
tracted meetings last week, and the
subject of discuss ion., was ■ offie
settlement had been" beli&ved'tq iUvqlve,
elements of peculiar difficulty and dan
ger. To pnt"tho matter frankly, it Was-
YCared by a large, number, .of ministers
and laymen in the Free .Church, whose.’
Calvinism is of a specially ; high and;
sensitive character, that lax. views; pre
vailed in the United Presbyterian
Church ■ on various questions connected®
with the theology of the atoffement'i
These questions, which it would be
beyond our province to define more
minutely, hear upon the fall of man,- the l
nature of sin, the DitHnp
Covenant, the mediatorial/ Work, bf
Christ, and touch more or less on what
.‘is called “ the extent off he atbiiement."
The debates in the successive meetings
weie animated, and bold expression was
given to considerable; diversities of
opinion. But it turned out, as might
have been foreseen, that no'6ns shade.
Of opinion could be fixed upoii as dis?
tinctively Free Church or distinctively.
United Presbyterian. Wo have the :
best reason for believing that the high-'
est Calvinism talked on the .occasion
was talked by a United Presbyterian
minister, while no Free Churchman or
Reformed Presbyterian was found to
shrink from acknowledging the infinife
sufficiency of the atonement, or Jmm,
accepting the fulness which is in Christ,;
as permitting the utmost possible free-'
dom in making the Gospel offer. Of
the sovereignty of God in election, on
the other hand, unqualified admission
was made by all parties.. Unless “ our
own clairvoyant’* misinforms us, the
members of the English Presbyterian
Committee were at least equally zealous
with the keenesthorth-country Calvinist
in obviating the possibility that any
suspicion of Arminianism should attach
to the combined Church. Tho result
was the best which can be conceived
under the circumstances—namely, that
the representatives of the several
;CKuTches found themselves, at the end
d!f the debates, in precisely the same
place, as a;t their commencement. They
accepted without comment' the state?
ments of the Westminster Confession bf
Faith on the questions which had pasaed
in review. This also might have been
expected, for greatly as we conceit our
selves in these days on bur intellectual
prowess and our achievements in every
field of knowledge, we are in dogmatic
theology children to the divines ot the
seventeenth century. On the theology
of the atonement, in particular, the con
troversialists of the seventeenth century
exhausted every possible hypothesis;
and profound as is our respect for the
eminent men<w:ho took part in the dis
cussion in the Joint Committee, we
appreciate their wisdom in not attempt
ing any .improveßlent on the work of
the Fathers and'TJrefhren who met in
Henry YJI-’s Chapel at Westminster iq
1644. We have said that the debates
were animated. There was oceasioally
a breeze which, but for the prevailing
Spirit of amity and candor, might have
swelled into a’ storm. This we regard
as a good, and nqt a bad omen. When,
you remove ,the barrier between two
stagnant poois, they unite in silence and

sluggishness; but two rivers never come
together without agitation. So far as
the task of the Joint Committee goes,
wo consider the enterprise of union to
be accomplished. —London Weekly Re
