SUNDAY SCHOOL PROFBSSORSHIP IN MARY
VILLE COLLEGE, EAST TENNESSEE,
Tli is College, located at Maryville, Bixteen miles
by mil south of Knoxville, has for forty years
been a blessing to all Bast Tennessee. The en
dowment of four Professorships is needed to place
die Institution on a permanent basis; a New Eng
land Professorship, a New York Professorship, a
Pennsylvania Professorship, and a. Sunday-School
Professorship. More than half of the iamount
necessary to complete the New England Profes
sorship has been raised,‘hnd the balanee'it'is
hoped will be procured by the first of January
next. _ • _ . .
Meanwhile many friends pf this movement
have urged the endowment of a Professorship
through the Sabbath Schools, believing that a
hundred Sunday Schools can be found that will
cheerfully appropriate $250 ‘each, to secure it.
Some are dding nobly for Home Missions, and
other benevolent enterprises. Over forty of these
have intimated a willingness to co-operate dn this!
first effort of the kind in the. world to found a
Sunday School Professorship: in a : Christian Col
lege. _ - • •• -
Nearly thirty of our pulpits are vaeaut, and
our Sunday Schools need the 'invigorating iriflu
encc of a settled minister to jinnke.'them efficient.
Since the College resnmedoperations, twelve can
didates for the ministry have reported themselves
in various stages of preparation, indicating.clearly
that God is with us. Will-not ptistors and super
intendents who may read this appeal, lay the
matier before the Teachers of their Sunday
Schools, at as early a day as practicable,‘and no
tify me on their action!' ; Not;a dollar that they
contribute will be. laid oat for brick and mortar,
but all be sacredly invested in. Government secu
rities, and the,interest, alone, .employed in' sus
taining a Christian professor. It kill tike until
next January to obtfiin the number'pf schools re
quired to go into this agreement, so that arrange
ments for the .present,year neednot.be disturbed;
but in December, should the Requisite .number
then be had; a .circular’will- be sent -with the
names, to each of the Sabbarh Schodls interested,
and the Whole Professorship 1 will be secured by a
simultaneous movement early next year.
One Sabbath School in New Yort Cityhas;al
ready agreed to contribute $500: towards this ob
ject. in most oases, $250 will probably be given
in one year, but where it is preferred,-two years
will be allowed for the payment, in order that
there may be no reasonable doubt as to the Suc
cess of the endowment.
Quarterly Missionary letters about the. Sunday
School work in East Tennessee, will be written
to each Sabbath School that enters into this.agree
ment, and ultimately a beautiful Certificate sur
mounted with a picture of'Oollege Buildings and
grounds be forwarded to them.
Many of our Sabbath Schools ape aiding in the
Christian education of heathen children in Per
sia, China, and India;..and .is not the call legiti
mate to found a Sunday School Professorship,
Whose influence shall be felt for many generations
in Christianizing our own people!
To Presbyterians this call is special. We have
one whole Synod, embracing fifty-five loyal
churches that have suffered terribly ,by the war,
arid Maryville College is the only institution to
wliioh we can turn with - any reasonable hope for
ministers to supply our destitution. Will not our
brethren do what they can to help us in this great
work committed to us? . If we are sustained, our
church, with the blessing of God, will expand
rapidly towards the Gulf of. Mexico.
One mau has given $5OOO, and another $4OOO
towards the general endowment.
Printed forms of the subscription will be’found
in this office, which inay be‘filled up and returned
to Rev. Samuel Sawyer, Agent Maryville College,
East Tennessee, care Rev., if. Kendall, D.D., 150
Nassau Street, New York.
TOWER or THE CHURCH TO EVANGELIZE
THE WORLD TO-DAY.
In connection with those facts it should
be also kept in mind, that the spiritual
Church of Christ now holds a trust of wealth
and power which is more adequate to such
a work than at any time before. It is a
simple matter of statistics, that there has
been no retrogression in the resources of
the Church since the enterprise was first
inaugurated. The increase .of her member
ship, including all evangelical denominations
in the estimate, has more than kept pace
with the increase of population in the na
tion at large. It is computed that no less
than six million, or 18 per cent.,. of our peo
ple are, by profession, consecrated to the
service of Christ; and in all the qualifica
tions essential to the energetic prosecution
of the work of missions, there has been un
doubted progress. The wealth of the land
is largely iu the bauds of Christians. The
influence of the Church is felt iu all the pub
lic and social enterprises of life. The great
Christian ideas of Law and Liberty, have
been more and more deeply inwrought into
the frame work of our institutions; and the
Church, as a whole, islmore deeply conscious
of her , resppnsibiiity for the discharge of
her manifold trusts than ever before. What
ever may be. affirmocUiof the deficiency of u
true, unreserved consecration to the inter
ests of Christ’s kingdom at home and abroad,
it must, at least, u’e" acknowledged that in
all that pertains to the possession of power
for aggressive effort, the Church of Christ
stands now in a better position for great
attempts and great achievements than at
any time in her previous history.
Wow, with these facts before ns, the
world's accessibility, the progress which the
work has already made, and the increasing
power, wealth and influence of the Church
of Christ, we may ventui’e to answer the
question inpvhioh this discussion culminates:
“Is the Church able, in the present genera
tion, to make the gospel known to the whole
world, according to her Lord’s command ?”
Assuming that the unevangelized popula
tions of the globe amount to one thousand
millions, and that access to these should
continue to open for the next twenty years,
as rapidly as has been the ease daring the
samo time in the past, what amount of
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, JULY 18, 1867.
Christian effort would be needed to bring
them all tinder the enlightening influence
of the gospel ? If we concede that the ef
forts of a single missionary would suffice in
twenty years to hear the glad tidings to ten
thousand souls, which is certainly a mode
rate estimate of labor, it would need only
the sending forth of one hundred thousand
to reach the .populations of the globe.; -and
if we allow an annual expense of $5OO to
each one of these missionaries, it would re
quire only the sum of $50,000,000 every
year. That is to say, an offering in men
equal to the patriotic army which marched
with General Sherman from Atlanta to the
sea, and an offering in money-equal to one
quarter the interest of our national debt,
would suffice to do the work. Is this -esti
mate/me- which reaches' beyond the power
■of the 'evangelical Christians of America?
Leaving out of rietv the. efforts and re
sources pf,the Church in other lands; is there
lack of ability among us, in this land, to
accomplish as much as this for Christ? Why,
ttis only that oneeut of sixty of Christ’s pro
fessed diseiplei be dbVoted to this' work : . It
isonly thtitatitbo ofthb superfl.housPx'pehdi •
thres of the Church off God should 'be capt
into the treasury pf Missions. Will any
vsfarm Christian heart caU in-question the
•claim of the Dord Jeßus to so much ol effort
■and money from bis ransomed 'Church for
•such an'end, the very ‘ehd for ‘Wbitih- the
‘Church is organized and set among the na- !
tions?. Or pan any ope question that if the
work’were,op ce.undertaken, upqn such .a
a scale, it would be speedily ~ accomplished ?
Have we>not been taught, .by ouri-national
experience, the amazing power which' lies
'Undeveloped’in a nation like our own, until
some great emergency arises, ahd a deep
enthusiasm stirs the.souls of mgri to attempt
achievements,,,whibh wer.e utterly, impossi
ble without such devotion’?. And is it .ex
travagant to entertain the thought that a
devotion to the cause ■ of Christ like that
which’saved the nation from the power of
the destroyer, would be spSedily rewarded
with successes which wo’uld.bring the latter
day of glory upon the earth ?
It is, then, the solemn thrillingtruth that
the Church of Christ,,in the. present gene
ration, has the power to impart the gospel
of salvation to the world. There are means
enough and men,enough at, her Command ;
all that is really, needed is the burning
heart, the earnest will, the obedient trust in
God.— Rev. B. R. Booth, D. D.
BELSHAZZAR IS TARS.
If wo may trust the glowing account that
has been brought to us by the cablp, of the
ceremony at'thti distribution of prizes at
the Paris Exposition by the French Emper
or—rfew more splendid .pageants can have
been witnessed by the -present generation.
Seventy-one thousand people assembled in
the great central hall of'the building, crowd
ed every passage of approach, and loaded
every balcony, and the surge of an ocean of
outsiders beat for long hours against., the
walls of the Imperial Gasometer. When
the magnificent procession, with :its, high
Btepping horses, its gilded carnages, its
mounted soldiery, its Generals in uniform,
its ladies arrayed like the lilies of the field,
and Solomon to boot, its princes and poten
tates, had reached the Hall of Ceremony, it
would seem that everything this, earth has
of luxury and grandeur was centered, in
that single spot. High on a throne of royal
state, which far outshone the wealth of Ofi
mus or of Ind, the Emperor exalted sat. On
one side was’the Empressiu white satin and
silver lace, with pearls and diamonds about
her throat, and one great gem that told her
beats of heart.in flashes, of an imperial ray.
On the other sat Haroun aF Raschid, or
what is loft of him, and about the skirts of
these three lights Of' empire there gathered
a 'crowd' of princes, princelings, nobles, dig
nitaries, statesmen, officials, lackoys, and
so oh, till, at a vast remove, one began to
feel the existence of the swarming people
of Paris and the world. And while the eye
took in this manifold spectacle, there bul-st
into sound the hitherto dumb, expectant in-,
strunients of the band of twelve hundred
musicians; a wonderful embi;oidery of flute,
and violin, and harp, and trumpet, on a
back-ground of rolling organ harmony,
fringed with the jangling music of joy-bells.
Then, whon silence fell again-, the Emperor
Btood up in his'high place, and made a
speech, so pure, and good, and wise, that
one marvels as he reads it whether the old
legends may not be true that tell how a
man’s own spirit was sometimes rapt out of
his body, for a season, while an angel or a
demon took the vacant place and blessed or
cursed out of the unaccustomed lips.
One curious incident that occurred just at
this moment the cable, doubtless for fear of
injuring the harmony of the narrative, omits
to mention. When Mr. Hughes, the inven
tor of the Printing Telegraph, was called up
to receive his prize, the Emperor took his
hand, making him an exception to all the
other recipients of medals. Mr. Hughes, as
he touched the Imperial finger, slipped into
the august pahu. of his serene Highness a
little bit of paper containing the last mes
sage received by the cable and printed by
the machine for which he was just being de
corated. It contained these words : “Maxi
“ milian is shot. His last, words were, ‘Poor
“ Carlotta! ’ His Royal Serenity read the
telegram, and immediately gave evidence of
a fearful agitation. His cheek blanched, his
hands trembled, and the diamonds on the
Imperial garter quivered so in the sunlight
that a shout arose from the admiring multi
tude. What the Emperor thought is, of
course, not to be exactly known. But we
may conjecture that be heard over all the
shouts and music, above the booming of guns
and the salvos of artillery, the single shot
that was death to his insane ambition as to
his deluded dupe, the single cry as of a wo
man—young, beautiful, and good—answer
ing to the last-cry .of her young,husband—
“Poor Garlotta!” ‘.‘Poor Maximilian!"
' Where, in all Ithis tumult of rejoicing, this
whirl of splendor, this pomp off luxury
were the victims of his crafty and wicked
lust of power ? For the rest of his life be
drags the bodies of these dead about with
him. Wherever he goes, that pale face shall
look at him as from out the cell where, in
madness and ritterest desolation, she is to
drag out fhe remnant of life. When .he looks
into the face, still comely, of .tha,t wife of
his he shall see, not her eyes, bu,t another's,
full of reproach too .bitter and -too Bilent to
bear. He. shall live.; hut, hard heart; dull
conscience,low mind-that he has—'-the heart
shall feel, and‘the. conscience shall prick,
and the mind shall know that these victims
are’with him’to tlfe end. That shpt'hq shall
forever hear, and that cry. His judgment
day is come, and all the pomp and splendor
that he can gather about him shalLmot avail
to hidejhinr from ’himself. — N. ‘Y. Tribune.

SHEEP SHEARING BY MACHINERY.
. . We have long been of the opinion ithat no
machine would ever be invented that would
take the,place of the old-fashioned and time
honored sheep shears. This opinion, We be
lieve, is generally entertained at the present
time. Such is the nature of the work to be
done, such the irregularities, such the, mova
ble, and. pioving condition ,of the surface of a
sheep’s body, that the, idea ,of taking the
fleece from it by: a machine has been re
garded as entirely impracticable.
Of late, however, we have been obliged to
modify this opinion very much. Mr. R. T.
Smith, of Nashua, N. H., has invented and
patented,a machine to which we have given
two trials the present season, and have never
been more pleasantly disappointed in the
working of tiny labor-saving machine we
have ever seen.
The machine is riot yet perfected, it isjust
where the mowing machine was when it
was first tried; but we are confident—as
were many intelligent and competentjudges
who witnessed its operations—that Mr.
Smith has'got hold of the right principle,
and that ultimately he will make a complete
success of his enterprise. , You can shear as
closely as. you please—so closely as to give
the skin a reddened look, or you can leave
the “ stubble ” of- any desired length: Not
only will it shear more closely than: shears,
but in a practised hand it will do it more
evenly. It does not cut the sheep as. badly
as men generally cut them with shears. We
saw it take the .wool from the neck of as
rinkly a buck as-is generally found in aDy
flock of Merinos, making hardly a scratch.
W e predict for it perfect success.
The old shears may now be hung up along
side of the old scythes, except they may be
needed for “ tagging” and to clip out round
the buck’s horns. Go and see it all who can-
The thing itself will pay any one lor a con.
siderable amount of trouble, to say nothing
of the work it does. It is amorig the won
ders of modern inventions. —Mirror and Far

HOW TO JUDGE THE CHARACTER OF A'
HORSE BY OUTWARD APPEARANCES.
C. L. Thayer says -I offer the following
suggestions as the result of my close obser
vation and long experience. If the color be
light sorrel or chestnut, his feet, legs, and
face white —these are marks of kindness. If
he is broad and full between the eyes, he
maybe depended on as a horse of good
sense, and capable of being trained to any
thing; as respects such horses, the more
kindly you treat them, the better you will
be treated in return. Won will a horse of
this description stand a whip if well fed.
If you want a safe horse, avoid one that is
dish faced. He may" be so far gentle as not
to scare, but he will have too much go -ahead
in him to be safe with everybody. If you
want a foolj but a horse of great bottom,
get a deep bay without a white hair about
him. , If his face is a little dished so much
the;/worse. Let no man ride such a horse
that is not an expert rider; they are always
tricky and unsafe. If you want one that
will' never give out, never buy a large over
grown one. A black horse cannot stand
heat, nor a white one cold. If you want a
gentle horse, get one with more or less white
about thb head, the more the better. Selec
tions thus made are of great docility and
gentleness.
