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 Ranch," it is called, and the author is Dr. H. M.

The story is one of Western life, and the romance of Home Missions. It will be illustrated cleverly and, we trust, will be as interesting to our readers as we anticipate. jjli ~ The Southwestern P^esbyter/ahJ .

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, /Iplinn CAtllP nf f Vio A not rinol A i fip uv.mv wrwiiiv.

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.
