PHESUYTKEI AN.
Another union of Presbyterian churches
seems to be approaching. A conference was
held in the latter part of the month of Septem
ber, in St. Paul's Church, Montreal, Canada, In
which delegates appeared from the Synod of the
Churcn oi (Scotland in Ontario and Quebec,
from the Synod of the same Church iu Nova
Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island,
and Newfoundland; from the General Assumbly
of the Canada Presbyterian Church, and the
Synod of the Presbyterian Church of the Lover
Provinces. The committees from these various
churches first conferred separately, and earn
came to the conclusion that there was no ob
stacle to union in principle, that union is expe
dient, and that it is practicable. Afterward, the
committees met in joint session, and the discus
sions were cordial and exceedingly pleasant.
The end reached by the committee is contained
in a paper which recommends union, the con
solidated Church to be known under the nvni
f the 'Presbyterian Church of British Nortli
America." A basis of union was alopteJ, tUe
two most important arlielea of which are the
following:
"1. That the Holy Scriptures of the Old an I
New Testaments, being the infallible word of
God, are the supreme fetandard of faith ami
manners.
"2. That the Westminster Confession of Faith
shall be the subordinate standard of this Church,
it being understood let. That full liberty of
pinion in regard to the power and duty of the
civil magistrate in matters of religion, as sat
forth in tatd Confession, bo allowed; and 21.
That the ue of the Shorter Catechieui be en
joined us tit ii'jtl'orlt'.tivf (-x(iM -A d ;'r .t

CONCERNING SHOES.
Tl c diverse significance of shoes amonar dlf-
fei i i. uallons and In different ages aptly typifies
tl r salient characteristics. What a story of
b i iric enmity Is told In the custom of the
it- iicut Fgjpthinsof palntiiigon tbe liuen liuiug
u enng the sole oi a sle the figure of a enp
live to indicate the pride of the victor iu the
abatement of bis foe, and tbe crushing weight
oi i ne remorseless power mat doomed the pri
soner to a Ufa of the most galling t-ervitude!
This is the story which modern cri,ici-Mn
tells ns ot the kingly ra'o that built the
Pyramids on human misery and degrada
tion, lue visitor to the great
museum at Berlin can see one of these Egyptian
shoes, and look upon tb picture of the captive,
wnien, niter tne inpse ot tour thousand years,
tells itfe pathetic story better than historian or
novelist. '1 lie writer of this article, when he
saw that emblem of oppression, thanked God
that no such history could be read in the clum
siest shoe that has pressed American soil since
tbe abolition of nlavery. Indeed, th i shoe or
sandal, among many ancient nations, wa often
used as the symbol of servitude. It was the
mark of a servile condition among the Jews to
bear or unloose tbe sandals of another, as Is im
plied In the well-known words of John the Bap
tist; and the passage In Psalms. "Over Editn will
1 cast ny shoe, signifies the subjection of that
country.
It is pWsant to remember thaC the shoe some
times had a higher significance, and that to take
it off in public was an expression of that grief
which forms a bond of uuion among the whole
brotherhood of man. Relijrious feelins was
also manifested In this wav. not only ov the
Hebrew, but by the Egyptian and the Moham
medan, who ou entering their places of worship
reverentially remove these coverings tor the
feet. Ibis rsage existed to nome extent among
tbe Romans, as appears from Illustrations of
their worship of Isis and Cybcle. In Greece and
Rome shoes wore taken oil before reclining at
meals. And In our motherland, as well as In
some pans of this country, the old shoe Is still
thrown for luck behind the bridal pair.
Among the Greeks and Romans tbe resources
of luxury and taste were lavished on tbe shoe.
The saudal, which was at first a piece of leather
protecting tne soie or tne loot, to which it was
secured by thongs, however adapted to tbe hard
roads and stony deserts of tbe East, was unfitted
for tbe use of persons who traversed swamps
nnd thorny thickets. While the inhabitants of
the Oriental provinces of the Empire still re
tained the sandal, which was suited to their re
quirements, the Romans gradually adopted a
more complete and comfortable protection for
tbe foot. The Athenian ladies and men of
rank had previously worn shoes andelippers of
elegant design and worKmanship, aad even in
Sparta, where shoes were condemned as effemi
nate luxuries for use at home, they were largely
manufactured to supply demand abroad, the
buskin, or cothurnus, with which the tragic actor
trod the Attic stage, was high-laced. And,
although pride or love of singularity induced
Cato and a few other philosophers to discard
the shoe and walk barefoot, yet some sages
were sensible enough to keep their feet free
from dirt and danger. The ladies, like their
fair sisters of to-day, not content with tbe pro
ducts of home manufacture, often wore shoes
which were imported from neighboring coun
tries, and Sicjouiau slipper was as favorite au
ornament with the maid of Athens as the Paris
boot with the New York belle. Nor were the
mysteries of high heels less familiar to the
classic dames who walked by tbe Parthenon than
to those gay votaries of pleasure who sauntered
along tbe boulevard, where the beautiful church
of tne Madeleine recalls its Attic prototype.
Short women then, as now, wore high heels and
tbk-r soles.
But it was reserved for the Romans under the
empire to reach the height of luxurious extrava-
gai.ee in tbe ornamentation ot coverings for
tbe feet. Juvenal, in allusion to the skill and
labor reqnlied from tb cobbler, advised klm
not to go beyoud his last, and this expression of
tbe satirl-t has passed into a proverb. But
shoes among the Romans, whether adorned
with patrician crescents, or gold and silver
plate, or made of coarser materials,
were not in universal use. A large
class was not permitted to wear them. These
were tbe slaves, called cretati, from their dusty
feet. And, among the causes which
overthrew the empire, slavery, with its con
comitant evils, was the chief. Iu vain was
luxury lavished on the patrielan buskin. The
splendid but unwieldly fabric of Roman great
ness was destroyed by the shoeless slave. The
northern hordes only completed the destruction
which was begun at home. The sandalled
Sybarites, whose effeminacy tarnished the old
Roman reputation for warlike Vigor, were no
match for the booted barbarians, who, mounted
on their fleet and sturdy hores, rnshed lu upon
the falling empire. It was the vessel of porce
lain meeting the vessel of iron.
When the Komans occupied Britain, thry
found some of the luhalutauts wearing shoes
and saudles. while many were destitute of both.
Strutt tells ns that these naked savages were too
proud of tbe grotesque figures painted ou their
skins to conceal them behind clothing, and they
thought shoes wonld lessen their speed. The
love of display, common alike to tbe barbarian
and the civilized man, differs in the mode of its
manifestation. The shoeless savage may be us
vain as tbe exquieire whose boota make him a
martyr to fashion and the chiropedist. This
fact suggests the existence of other defec-s
which civilization softens but does not eradi
cate, and which led Herbert Speneer to say that
many of bis well-dressed brethren were little
belter than barbarians in broadcloth It
is sometimes thought that the delicate
foot which requires a small, well
fitting boot to exhibit its graceful
proportions, is the mark of a gentleman. The
piactlsed observer, however, looks above the
pedal coverings for the clew to character. He
may, indeed, detect mental weakness In the
stvle of a slipper, and a vitiated taste in the
form of a shoe, and bis general estimate ba-ed
ou these particular indications will often be
surprisingly correct. But other elemeuts are
usually necessary f r tbe determination of the
question. Men of vigorous iutellect are some
times victims to tbe caprices of a wayward
fancy. Byron is not the only example of this
morbid sensitiveness. In his cae, personal de
formity, intensifying the evils of a bad educa
tion, made him strangely seusitive about the ap
pearance of bis feet. The same characteristic
peculiarity overweening self coiiscioisuess,
and an exaggerated estimate of externals was
manifested by a man of a different stamp, b--tween
whom and Bron, however, there were
singular reseinhlauces. Ignatius Loyola, tbe
founder ot the Society of Jesuits that knight
errant of bigotry having been wouuded in
battle, had one of the bones of his leg cut off
to prtberve the shape of his boot, thus incurring
great euhVring and danger to gratify a vaia
caprice. This was tbe mau Vrho tit a iau-r day
gave up all worldly enjoyenjbuts in his devotion
to his uarrow views of dut) Tbe sol.lier aud
courtier were merged lu the religious zealot. Iu
his case, however, a- iu so many others, the
essential character of the mau remained un
changed, despite the different turn which cir
cumstances gave to his outward experience.
The fauatlc was tbe same wbe' ber ho stood in
tbe boots of tbe soldier or the shoes of the saint.
In modern times fashion has played strung
freaks with shoes. Tbe Normaus adopted
Saxon mode", but went far beyond ia extrava
gance. Monkish zealots vainly launched their
anathemas against wearers of tie loug-toet
boot, which assumed tbe most fantastic
shapes, from a ram's horn to the tall of a scor
pion. . Time has taught us a different lesson.
Cieiicul ammunition is thrown away upon
caprice ot costume. Wo save our !w!er for
bitter game. In the reign of Edward III
shoes took a religious turn. Tbe designs for
tbeir ornamentation were borrowed from e-j-clestast.cal
decorative art. Strange as it may
teem, thetxuulsite tracery and goiueous coloring
of gieat cai'liedral windows were reproduced
with marvellous splendor iu these coverings for
tbe feet. From DuL'dale's view of old St,. Paul's
in I.oiidoii, a it appeared before Oit gre it tire,
it 'Is evident that the . exqulMtely beautiful
li-i-iiMiH vliichado'U the roal shoes of tual
I i r t tl, us iU p c.ed i:i coutcut ;-irory painting,
viv i-Lvi. U-.iu ; w ;ii -u
ert of that venerable pile. A curious confirm
ation of this fact Is afforded by Chancer's de
scrl' tion ot tbe young priest Atisalon In one of
the canterbury l ales, whom he quaintly pic
tures "With Paules winrtowes corven on his hin."
Who will snv, in view of this poetic usaire.
tint there are not sermons iu shoes ?
At the resent day the shoe ha to the com
nioii mind ost much of its romantic Interest,
yet many a clumsy and battered sole could tell
a story surpaMng in patiios tne experience of
Cinderella. Even her fairy slipper could not
c ni nre In benutv with the delicate products of
the Or'ent, w ith their rich enihroidery of silver
siin gold, or with tne sneeny satin and lustrous
silk w bleb encase the feet of Parisian beauty.
Do not these fair but frail memorials teach n
that the fashion of this world passe th a-vav?
l is, tt.cie are sermons In sho.s m re pathetic
than are uttered In tbe pulpit, and which ho
w ho runs uiav rend.
Even now the Old World is preaching a
hoinilv to the New, of which the shoe is the
preuront text. The "Siruldbrug" civilization of
China the countless cycles of torpid and effete
tstnny might heaptlv symbolized by the shoe,
which in that country cramps the usefulness
ai d destroys tbe beauty of the human foot. But
tbe land of Confucius is awakening from her
opiate sleep. Already the yellow man stands ou
tbe sou of Massachusetts, producing not the
cramped pedal covering of his "ancestors, but the
broad and linernl shoe ot the Western world,
which thus becomes a fitting emblem of his
emancipation and progress. Shall we tread him
out with tbe heel of invidious discrimination
and Injustice, or crush him beneath the brazen
loot ot caste? Our text teaches no such barbar
ous lesson. It says, Lift him up, encourage
him, and guarantee to honest industry by all
men, white, black, or yellow, its reasonable
rew ard. Appieion a journat.
