of which deliverances the commissioners
from this Presbytery concurred; and

grievous sin -yen, ol upestacy, "itui-.t uii
hue," when sho k ibslilutus "'ibe call lo

of Chri-t was organ i.ed for tho purpose of
perpetuating the li i-soel throughout tho
world uii J to the end of time. "Go yo
therefore and teach all nations, baptizing
in the riauie of ih Father, and of tho Son,
ami of the I-ioly (..host; teaching thoui to
observe all things whatsoever! have com
manded you; und lo! I am with you ids
ways, even unto the end of the world," is
the full extent of the Divine commission
under which she acts. "Glory to God in
the highest, on earth peace and good will
to men," was the song of the nnyols that
heralded the birth of Christ. The vital
and distinguishing principle of His spirit,
ual kingdom is love, which subordinates
eveiything to itself. Its conquests nre iho
conquests of love. Its ministers, a such,
are not allowed to bear the s.void, or to
counsdits use. Tiiey lorlh uiubra
Divine oiiimission and under tho nil-cons
quering pewer of ;ve and faith, as lambs
iu 1 he midst of wolves, with message's of
mercy and grace to the guiiiy and misera
ble of our race; and it is nn unseemly
spectacle and a fright hi I dopai lure from tl.e
example of our Lord and His inspired
Apostles from the teaching-of Scripture
rfiul tho whole tone and spirit of the Gos
pel, for the Church to whom onty the hrys
have beer, given by her Divine head or Iho
symbol of her power, to grasp al.v the sword,
which belongs exclusively to the Statu.
Such confusion of the proper spheres of
civil nnd ecclesiastical courts, san only be
to both Church and State, "a savor of death
unto death." When we hear the voice

riotis to the cause 1 if Chr;t and tbe inter

is our firm conviction, corioborated by the
tone of the becular press, by spuvches ol
many representative men, and who by the
action of the civil (jovei nnient in refusing
lo exempt Ibocloigy from military service,
that the prostitution o) the pulpit to po
litical uses, and the fierce deliverances nf
ecclesiastical bodies, l ave had a powerful
tendency to destroy I he reverence, respect
hihI confidence of worldly men in the
Christum ministry, and have had a disas
trous etl'ei't upon the cause, of true religion.
We look with sadness und sh uno upon
the present stute of the Church, secular

and with gloomy apprehension to tho fu'
ture. Hour Chut cli cuurtsdol ot exclude.

must bo an end to harmony and peuco;

the spirit of God will take his departure

horrible death on ihe 17th of July. It
appears the parents ol tho child sent It to

the evening. Failing to gut what it wat
sent for, it wentio the ncxl nearest neigh
bor's, and on returning home was attacked
and Willed. Il wut dragged about thirty
yards from the road, und burin I Ly ihe

came (n, the srents getting uneasy, weut
in pursuit of l lie child, and learning Ihut
I it nnd
started home, lollowed up, but
not make any discovery. Tho

alarm was given, and ull the neighbors
turned out, and hunted all night, hut in

net was found by iho roadside. Near by
was part of its dress. It wasfiuully traced
by the rags lorn fioin its clothes, ami

From appearance the savage beast had
