It is to attend to the money affairs of the Church. Acts vi : 1-3—•" Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and of wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business." Over what business? Evidently that referred to in the preceding verse, namely, "to serve tables. The meaning of the Greek term translated "tables," is, according to Dr. Robinson's Lexicon, the table on which food is placed for eating; then the table of a money changer, a broker's office, a bank where money is deposited and lent out. In this passage, the original word translated to " serve tables, he renders, to " serve money tables," i e , to take care of money affairs. Our English version renders the Greek term, in Matt. xxi : 12, "tables;" "and overthrew the tables of the money changers." And in Luke xix : 23, the same term is rendered " bank ;" " Wherefore, then, gayest thou not my money unto the bank?' The Deacons, then, were appointed to take charge of the money affairs or prop• erty of the Church. This charge was, after the 'organization of the New testament Cku.roh, first oommitted to the - Aptietted. Acts lv : 34, 35—" As many as were pos sessors of lands or houses, scild them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, and laid them at the Apostles' fort.", But when the Church incressedlargely; and the contributions flowed in greatly, much attention and time were required in order to manage these funds wisely. And the . Apos tles found, that in order to attend faithfully to the more important functions of their office, they could not give due attention to this; and murmurings were caused among .the Greeks, because their widows were neg lected in the daily ministrations. Hence the Deacons were appointed to take the Apostles' place in the management of the money affairs. But why, it may be inquired, did the Apostles go to all the solemn ceremony of ordaining sacred officehearere in the Church for this work? Why did they not suggest to the multitude of the disciples to select trustees to attend to this matter? I an• swer, this money is seared to God. In the Old Testament, when the Israelites refused to give the appointed tithes and offerings, they were charged with robbing God.—Mal. iii : 8. And the New Testament, referring to the money contributed by the disciples for the cause of Christ, calls it a sacrifice.— Phil. iv : 18; _Het). xiii : 16. Now God, in laying upon Christ's shoulders the goy eminent of his Church, promised him the money.—Ps. lxxii: 10-15. Without his having possession and control of money, he would not have sufficient means to move forward the wheels of his Kingdom. Now, who dare take His money, and appropriate it without his authority ? Surely none but the proprietor has a right to designate the persons that shall take charge of this sacred treasure. So far as the Bible gives account, no one, under either dispensation of the Church presumed to manage " this business," except Divinely appointed officers. Under the Old Testament, a certain class of the Levites were set apart to this work. I. Chron. xxvi 20-28—" And of the Levites, Abi.• jah was over the treasures of the house of God, and over the treasures of the dedicated things," &o. And so familiar were the Israelites in giving the 'dedicated things of God's service into the charge of Divinely appointed officers, that in the commence ment of the operations of the New Testa. went Charch, they seem never to have thought of committing these consecrated things into any other hands than her or dained officers. Hence we read that they laid their• contributions "at . the Apostles' feet." And when the Apostles found the accumulated treasures too burdensome for them to attend to unless they would neglect the more important part of their business, they appeared to conceive of no other way of getting rid of the matter, than that of ap• pointing and ordaining Deacons to take the charge. And does it not look like bold pre sumption for a man to put hie hand into the sacred deposits of Zion 's King, and disburse them without his authority? And what Kingdom would deem its organization com plete, until she had officers appointed 'to at tend to her pecuniary affairs? Had Chriet left his Kingdom without appointing some class of members to attend to her money matters, be had been less attentive to this important interest than the organizers of any other Kingdom. Now Christ enjoins contributions for his Kingdom, pointedly and emphatically. He speaks of giving as a prominent mark of his disciples. His Word informs us that " Gad loves a cheerful giver;" that " the righteous showeth mercy and giveth." Throughout his Word be is ever and anon holding up. giving as a very important duty. But if he ha I neglected to appoint a particular class of officers to collect, hold, and disburse the contributions, it would look, after all, as if be did not care much about the interests of his Church. J. Al. For the Presbyterian banner ana Adviseao. The EndoWment. Dn. IVlcKraramv :—An effort to endow the Fourth Professorship in the Western Theological Seminary, is now fully inaugur ated. The four Synods have resolved to undertake it, and a circular in reference to it, from the officers of the Boards of Vireo- tors, and Trustees, and addressed to Pastors, Ruling Elders, and Churches, is .now, presume, in the , hands of every miniater in the bounds of said Synods. I feel a deep interest in the object of this effort, and hence respectfully Isolieit a brief space in your excellent paper, as the medi um of a few thoughts in relation to it What bath God wrought?.One year ago, a solemn ?trembly, representing -these four Synods, was in 'session at Pittsburgh, to pray that the Lord would revive his work ; and one object of special remembrance at 'the throne of grace, at that time, was. this Seminary. The General Assembly had pre viously to that, elected a Fourth Professor for the institution. _Many, at the time this action was taken by the Assembly, thought it premature; but the Assembly. otherwise interpreted the leadings of Prey ! idence in the case; and the Professorship was filled, while no one, 'as yet, could see clearly, how the worthy young brother called to it, was to be supported. Since the time when the events to which the foregoing statements have reference, took place, the Lord has surprised us all, with the blessings of his goodness, in their...- beeline , t' upon the prosperity of this School of the Prophets. He has revived his work extensively in our churches; he has blessed. our colleges with his heivenly grace ; and the happy result to our Seminary, has been . , such an accession of students as to render the services of the Fourth Professor, not only convenient and on many accounts de sirable, but clearly necessary. Is not this a beautiful illustration of Isaiah lxv 24 " Before they call, I will answer, and while they are yet speaking, I will hear." We called upon Him and ,he answered us, and' we find now that his answer was in one part antecedent to our call, and in another part' so prompt as to be literally while we were yet speaking. Now the Lord calls upon us. Clearly, distinctly, definitely, loudly, his call is uttered. /t is, that we make prompt pro vision, in the use of the means that he has given us, to meet the pecuniary necessity created, by the abundance of the , blessing `he . has bestowed upon us. And how shall we respond to this call ? Shall it be reluctantly, or with an apathy next to a refusal; and -ehill-tweitlitts-grieve the Holy Spirit, and so, in effect 7 repudiate his work of graoe in our midst? .Or, rather, shall it not be with an enlarged liberality--the utterance of a joyful, grateful heart, and that without unnecessary delay ? Let this response spring cheerfully from every heart, and one year after this, all will be astonished in looking back, to see how easily the work was done. True, the' aggregate amount required appears large, but by no means so large as to render the raising of it impracticable. The boundaries of the four Synode are also large,-and the means in the hands of those who are expected to unite in the effort, in tbe aggregate, so abundant, that all idea of impracticability on that score, must be .set aside. it is also true, that the effects of the recent financial embarrassments throughout our country, have not yet entirely passed away, and hence, in some districts, money is still ex ceedingly scarce. This, however, can be, at most, but a temporary obstacle in the way, which a few months of ordinary finan cial prosperity will remove. One thing is certain, or at least the writer thinks so. Only get the object, in its real importance, distinctly before the Christian heart of the churches composing the four 'Synods, and the work is done, and would be done, even if the required amount ware double what it is. A COUNTRY PASTOR. December 2d, 1858. L N A. For the Presbyterian Banner and Advocate Unitarianism on the Nature of Christ. MR. EDTTOR :—ln the Christian Register of November 20th, I find a sermon by James W. Thompson, on John xiv : " My Father is greater than I," and John x : 30, I and my Father are one." In a note accompanying the sermon, the author sap: " It is much to be desired, I think, that a larger number of our brethren should let the reading public know, from time to time, in what direction the great providential entrants of thought on this subject are set ting them; whereabouts they are . now, to day, on the map of theological . dud) , and religious belief ; what signs of promise or omens of discouragement are figuring in their sky." It occurred to me, on reading, the above, that the writer and hie "brethren" had unwittingly, slid into their seats as originals of the inspired - portrait, " He that waver eth is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed." A Christian sect which, at the cod of eighteen hundred years, is yet on the open sea of opinion, touching this all important subject, drifted hither and thither by providential currents of thought," telegraphing, one to the other, to know "whereabouts they are to day, on the map of theological study and religious belief," has a very ambiguous future. The ocean of opinion is a very wide one, and has some very disastrous landings ! • The writer tells us where he is;thus : "In reconciliation of these two statements is found the true idea of our Saviour Jesus Christ. The first, answers the question of quaniity, How much force or spirit life was in him Less than in God ; "My Fathf r is greater than I." The second answers the question of quality; What kind, of force or spirit•life was in him ? The same as in God • " I and my _Father arc one." "We find, that he is a person, in the essen tials of his nature, Divine, but being of limited powers; that is, being less than the Infinite, not God, in the absolute sense of that adorable name." If this has any meaning, it is simply. that Jesus is the same in quality as God, only less in quantity. Further on, he says so : " We have still stronger reason for the be. " ONE THING IS NEEDFUL :" " ONE THING. HA PUBLICATION OFFICE, GAZETTE BUILDING, b Ili litf ,hit his nature was in its essential guatity,,Divine ; in quantity less than God, in quality as God ;'' "I and my Father are one." He then uses this illustration: " The water that supplies your table - is the same in quality with that in the reservoir, only less in quantity; so the well of water that in Jesus springeth up into everlasting life, is not similar to that in the Infinite Foun tain, but the same in kind, only less in quantity." So this is where this Theologi cal explorer has anchored " to day ;" where he will be to morrow, no man can tell. But mark, it will not - do to hold Unitariacis, as a body, responsible for this deliverance. This is only one of the islands on the great "map of religious belief" over which they are scattered. This man has only sent word to his "brethren" where his ":proVide'ntial currents of thought" have drifted him: He seems to be conscious that he has left his readers very much at sea, and concludes his sermon thus : "Does this view seem to you to leave the great problem of Christ's moral position in the universe unsolved? True, it'does, ter it is a problem whinliad mits of only a proximate ablution. It cannot be worked out to 'an exact' and-final result. After all our study of the•, Scriptures,-and after all our efforts to analyze the life of this wonderful Being, and to measure , his orbit, there are recesses still in him which we can not penetrate, heights which wo fail to reach, relations to the Infinite which we are unable to fathom." And exhorts us to be "content to remain in this sublime ignorance." All this, too, from a preaclier, who, in his eiordium, stated. dogmatically that Christ is less than the infinite, and so not God I How does he know that ? Why does he venture on any dogmatic statement concerning. Christ, if there are " recesses in him," he 'confesses he "cannot penetrate " and "heights he fails to reach," and "rela tions 'to the Infinite he is unable to fathom ?" How dare I tell you the lake on whose banks we are standing is shallower than the ocean, when I have tried to run my line to the bottom of it, and frankly confess there are depth - s in it I cannot fathom ? A "Nega tive Theology" should not be too dogmatic. But after a taste of teaching like this, the. feeling is one of unutterable 'satisfaction With the fixed mooring and the bold land marks of the old Theology which dates sue ceesively from Paul, and Augustine, and Calvin. " The old is better!' H. The synod of Wisconsin. This Synod, at their late meeting, took the following action, whioh we publish at their request: BOARD OF DOMESTIC MISSIONS. , The Standing Committee on the Board of Domestic Missionsi, to whom on,a verbal re port the subject had been recommitted - avid` the'Committee increased; made the follswing report which was accepted and adopted : While, the—Synod -would Ale- thankful to God for the erteanragement irrinted i us in, the prosecution of the missionary worlfisith in our bounds, we cannot but feel pained' at the present state of our missionary opera tions. While God hail favored our organ ized churches to a considerable extent with, efficient laborers, they are sadly hampered in the prosecution of their work. And while the same Providence has opened wide -and effectual doors and seems to be calling on us to poseiess the land, we find ourselves utterly stopped from entering in. Next to want of that Divine power of the Spirit which can remove all difficulties, our great hinderanee is the want of means to support laborers now in the field and to encourage others to enter it. Some of our missionaries who had been existing on salaries fixed at "starvation point," have had their appropriations cur tailed by the l3oard of Domestic Missions, and have been forced to abandon their high ly promising fields. Others unable either to I leave their fields or to, meet their expenses hive been seriously embarrassed; and a con siderable proportion of our missionaries are only able to find an adequate support by drawing on their own private resources, or the charities- of friends and relatives. At the same time, important Edda are opening before us Our Synodical itinerant in re signing his office for want of support, reports that his labors for the past year must be lost, to, this branch of the Church for want of means to occupy the fields he has explored and opened, and to continue the itinerancy. Large villise b ei where self-sustaining churches might soonbe built up, must be abandoned to other denominations, or to the kingdom of Satan. Twelve laborers are wanted to zitip ply the fields he has explored; but it seems useless to endeavor to obtain ministers, since the applications for aid of the Presbyteries from the Board of Missions, failed to obtain the amounts necessary to supplement a mis sionary's support. - In reference to this state of things the Synod of. Wisconsin on behalf of its Pres byteries and churches does confess its faults. We acknowledge that we have been lament• ably deficient in the duty of contributing to the Board of DomeAtie Missions. , While our churches generally have done something, and whilewe may justly claim some allow-, ano3 on the ground that our freld,of labor is a reuliarly difficult one on se:mint of the comparative weakness of the religious and Presbyterian element in our population; yet we confess that we have received much from the general fund of the Churchand returned little; and we would earnestly exhort, our churches . to continue and increase their ef forts to develop their self sustaining power and to enlarge their contributions to the' Board of. Domestic Missions. In view of the low state of the, funds of the Board of Domestic. Missions, - which pre vents it from making the appropriations which Would relieve our suffering mission aries and enable 'us to go forward with new enterprises, the Synod expresses its. belief that,' there is both wealth enough .in the Presbyterian Church to supply these pressing wants, and piety enough to make that wealth available if the subject were properly pre sented. The Synod has full confidence in the excellence of our system of I3oards. It regards our , Board of Domestic Missions as the right arm of our Church. We look to the Board not merely as the distributor of the funds that may pass into its treasury; but also as charged by the Church with the responsibility of devising and executing great plans for the extension of our Saviour's kingdom in this country. The Synod would, therefore, respectfully suggest to the Board of Domestic Missions the question, Whether the interests of this immense work:do. not . .. pa e f ,j sie lo s s io ahaih 4l ablAi liv tw om . 74 .

But, as the Leeds Mercury said the other day, this acceptance of the Emperor's invi . tation was "one of the meanest things" that statesmen could be guilty 'of. THE PROSECUTION OF THE PRESS in France, assails the last refuge of the men of letters in that country. Napoleon has failed to win them. G-uizot .and Thiera keep away from his Court, as well as the Ot leanists, as a class, many of them eminent for- scientific and literary acquirements. Therefore, some of them must consent to be martyrs to a principlP, and so give heart and hope to all who long for a better day. The free and (with all its faults,) the glorious Eng lish press stands up nobly for, them. Flow the publicatfon of Montaiembert's pamplilet at full length in the Times, must annoy the Emperor ! Its circulation in London as a, pamphlet, is immense. It :is published in the, miginal French, and concludes :with the words of the hymn, in whieh' myriads of children welcomed the Queen at Birming ham : "Now pray we for our country: Let England ever be • The holy and the happy, And the gloriously-free" The Paris correspondent of the Mulches , er Guardian, thlis writes : "think I have good authority for . stating that at this present moment nothing can exceed the annoyance felt by =the Emperor at the sort of atmosphere of Liberalism and= Constitutionalism that is everywhere. exteriorly .thickening around him. The impresSion so universally produced on your side of the water,by the Montalembert affair,' has exceedingly-annoyed him, if it have' not even mainly contributed to make him openbis' eyes to the folly of his own conduet.upon -that occasion. Added to this, - comes the busittess: , of the - Char/es Georges, and the' pliialcy speeek of thelling of Portugal; in all of which, Europe, the Emperor well-knows, goes with Portugal, and unhesitating ly against France. :Then, .too, the working of representative institutions in Prussia, awakening, as they'do, the sympathies of 'the whole dilikht ened portion ofThe world; are a'eause of Vexation to Louie Napoleon,. and .I have reason to know that' he is angry beyond What is usual with' him at the attitude assumed by his nearest neighbers,. and which is 80 giametrioa,lly contrary to hie own: There is not ,even ,the Czar who is not at, this • momentoeoupled inigratiting more liberal instita tione and laws, to ;his people ; and not only the great but the small are trying to march with the epoch. Whilst Alexander 11. emancipated the serfs of his - vast empire, the little Duchess of Parma invites her subjects to „patriotic zeal. Madame Rietori told 'that She mat not play . " Ginditta " on account of a, tyrant - being pun ished in that tragedy. She, applies to the Duchess, who instantly gives the order to play,the piece, saying, (' In Parratt..there is no one who fears to hear tyrants condemned."

He will, I trust, remain so, rather than be found on the Episcopal Bench.

Leeds and Congregationalism— fresh, healthy, and spiritually - aggreseive—were long ago associated in my mind; by reason of the reports that reached me through rela tives- and friends. It was pleasant,- there fore, to go thither, and to associate with thoee who have been, for more than a gen eration, the earnest friends of' the Mission ary, the Bible, and the Tract Society. I had the privilege of sojourning under the hospitable roof of a son in-law of the late Edward Baines, 14._,P, a matt of great ex cellence and energy and whose statue stands opposite to that of Victoria, in that Town Hall of Unparalleled inagnifieence, which she lately opened. It. is delightful to see, in such families, the illustration of , M. Hen ry's remark, that, " although grace does not run in, the blood, yet it often runs , with it," and how Christianity is united With mental refinement and ladylike accomplishment. The ;Leeds ' Mercury, - founded by Ed ward,Baines, the father, is now the property of Edward. Baines, the, son. To the latter I paid a. visit, at his beautiful oountry , seat, enclosed in the same park with the residence ofa Mr. Marshall, a well known Leeds mil lionaire. Mr:Baines has been, and, is, the 1 facile princep of our English provincial editors. 'A fine _healthy, spirit, pervades all his ertieles. His . political sympathies are with the LiberallThig,party, of which . his brother,..ithe Right Hon . M. T. Baines, late Chaneellor of ,the Duchy of Lancaster, is a distinguished member.
