It appears to us that oar church work needs some large gifts from those who have been abundantly blessed with ttils world's goods. Ia It not true that a great deal of the money that oomes Into the treasury of the Lord Id oar Churoh oomes from those who are dependent on their labor, who live on salaries or who have bat little means? Does our Chnroh get Its share from those who have plenty and to spare? Oar Chnroh needs help from oar people who have means.?Associate Reformed Presbyterian. We qnite agree with the Presbyterian that "Oar Churoh work needs some large gifts from thoee who are abundantly blessed with this world's goods," and we believe that the Chnroh would receive more large gifts, If the Churoh people acted In snoh a way as to show that snoh gifts were appreciated. If those who assume to speak for the Church did not so often act in a way to alienate or to forestall people from making liberal gifts, more gifts wonld be made. Money, by gift or otherwise, is secured by praotloal methods. Practical methods usually bring suocess In any legitimate business. Impractical ways bring undesirable results. For Instance: When Ersklne College was urgKiuzeu, ii> wim, bo 10 ipetiK, who an open door and with a hearty weloome to all. The general pablle were invited to be its friends. And the college showed Its friendship by oonferring its honors on others as well a those of the household of faith. Trustees to an anllmlted number were ohosen. Some ot the professors In the College were of other dlrvtslons of the religions faith. People of all shades of practical and religions faith had aD interest in the College. The newspapers in those dayB sought to conserve the Interest of the Church and avoided needless antagonlams. Friends, without reference to rellg lous affiliation sent their Bons to the oollege and others made liberal gifts until the instu tutlon was well endowed. Then followed the narrower and more 1111b eral spirit The newspaper was then governed by the broader spirit. The Churoh has grown in members. The attendUnoe upon the college .'olasses Is now made op almost exclusively of the sous of cburcbmen. The outside world bas been, for ome reason, alienated from tbe Institution. Tbe number of trustees bas been reduced, and wben even a limited board Is to be filled, tbe names of tbe best friends are not always chosen. A trustee was chosen some year* ago from a town wbleb was full of friends for Due West. Instead of obooslng a friend tbe man wbo was well known to bave little interest in ths Institution was named. Tbe number of visitors wbo attend tbe Commencement bas been greatly reduoed, and in many ways tbe situation at Due WeBt bas been changed from wbat it used to be. Now tbere must be a cause lor every effect. Ia the oollege less capable of Imparting instruction than In former days? By do K.- means. We venture the assertion that no oollege* in the State are better equipped In the matter of oompetent professors than the Doe West Colleges. Are the commencement occasions leas entertaining than In former dayat We think not. jl hen we are forced to look elsewhere for the explanation. In the flrat place the contracted policy of the Synod in choosing the college trustees from its own ohurch membership, exclusively, and of favoring certain communities In iU selections, and Ignoring other communities which contributed to the foundation and endowment of the Institution, is, In itself, somecanse of luke warmness. There is, bowever, a still more potent reason for lufcewarmness on the part of the general public. The Presbyterian, In name a church organ, out in iaci ovota 07 private siocKnoiaers, devotes too much of It* apace to local celebrities. Undoubtedly Dae West may be proud of her great and good men; and be it far from us to detract In any way from their Just due of public appreciation, but we submit that the constant weekly recurrence of a man's name in print, coupled wltb Incidents important or unimportant, is not a compliment, but in rather commonplace. Tbe few Individuals who it is Intended tbus to compliment, doubtless merit all tbe good tbat may be said about tbem, but it may be safely stated tbat tbey do not desire to i be kept ever before tbe reading public. 1 Tbe paper snould broaden its scope and be- 1 oome in faot, as well as in name a cburcb paper. Would it not be advisable for 8ynod to own n us id ine case or me iwo colleges? In thlg,J.here Is do purpose of lDjuring tbe Interests of the present stock holders; but If a fair price could be agreed on, and the paper \ bought by Synod, there would doubtless be -less local, and more general church news, lees ? touching the Individual and more touching the church at large.
