meetings have been held, the papers have not stinted
space, and their reports have been, as a rule, most accurate
and sympathetic. %
The Church should remember that it has six or eight
lines of beneficence and activity. Their relative importance
may differ, but all are important enough to
engage the careful attention and the liberal support of
all God's people. The wise Christian and the wise
Church will attend faithfully to all and not allow any
lopsidedness to appear.
With our next issue we shall have the pleasure of
st v/ beginning one of the most interesting serial stories
which it has fallen to the lot of religious journalism to
I publish for a good many years. "The Men of Sapio

of Home Missions. It will be illustrated cleverly
and, we trust, will be as interesting to our readers
as we anticipate.

Among the little side features of the Laymen's Missionary
Movement is the remarkable manner in which
the good brethren, the laymen, fall back on the preachers
whenever a special emergency comes, for advice,
help, getting together the people, and a hundred other
small matters. They find the preachers are very useful
and needful after all, and most willing, too, even in a
lavmen's movement.

1 he "budget system." as a wise method of providing
for and conducting the financial side of the Church's
activities, in the support of the outside benevolences
of the Church as well as its congregational
expenses, is attracting more and more attention. It is
worthy of careful investigation. But, after all, it is not
so much the system or method as it is the diligence
and personal work of the officers that secure generous
and steady support to the Church and its activities.
Dr. Henry Van Dyke, writing in the "Herald and
Presbyter," defends Dr Wm. H. Roberts, Clerk of
the Northern Assembly against current complaints
that he is an official 'pluralist." Dr. Van Dyke in justifying
himself in volunteering to make this defense,
says: "I can write thus fully and freely on this subject,
because there arc many points of doctrine and
pbssibly some of practical policy on which Dr. Roberts
and I may not agree." It would be interesting to
have Dr. Van Dyke, who is a master of phraseology,

two, inasmuch as both are subscribers to the same
doctrinal standards.
Our table has upon it two papers new to us. One
of them has the old name, "The Cumberland Presbyterian,"
but a new spirit and a new tone. It has passed
into the hands of the anti-unionists, to whom the civil
courts of Tennessee have decreed the Cumberland Publishing
House, and everything connected with it. The
other is "The Presbyterian Advance," just established
and designed to take the place with the unionists of the
paper turned over to the anti-unionists. Dr. J. E.
Clarke, who so ably edited the first named paper for ten
or twelve years, is editor of the last named. We wish
him and the Advance Publishing Company success.
The first issue of the new paper is an admirable one. *
In make-up, style and size it is very much like the
paper whose place it is designed to take.
