We rely upon their loading influence in assemblies of the eldership, and in theirp irticular congrega-tions, to agitate the suhj int, and not to let it sleep--to see to it that it shall not fail for lack of their sympathies and their earnest prayers and endeavors. The work is most appropriately theirs to undertake and prosecute before the people, on behalf of the toiling and struggling ministry. It is a work that deeply concerns the spiritual growth of our churches. For " the liberal soul shall be made fat, and he that water-eth shall be watered also himself." M. W. Jacoaos, D.D., Ch'n, Jas.

Tea: Dockirr FOB T0 Dar.-The first order in the Assembly this morning will be the consideration of Dr. Backus' report (Committee of Twenty One), on Benevolence of the Church, at half-past ten o'clock. At half-past two, in the afternoon, the second order will come up--the election of omcers of the Boards and Theological Seminarics, as already recommended in the reports.

This book deals with the history of the particular American religious sect which, because of its large and varied membership, its intellectual vigor, and the part played by its clergy in shaping public thought, affords the richest field for a study of the influence of religious organizations upon American life. The story of the struggle of the Old School Presbyterian leaders to choose between their desire to avoid a break in their church and their feeling that it was their duty to voice their loyalty to the Union forms an interesting and illuminating commentary on the problems of the troublous times of the War of the Rebellion. The minor Presbyterian groups played varying parts, but always occupied more than their proportionate share of public attention because each met its own problems with a characteristically Presbyterian individuality. Professor Vander Velde's monograph is important not only for American religious history but also for the fact that it illustrates how closely Church and State were related during the Civil War period.
