Contributed. cu On the principle that a cat may look at of a King, the ^ecular newspapers of a State ^ map oat wont for the Legislature which e(| may be soon to meet, and in like manner it m may not be amiss to make suggestions to the clergy who are to meet in Synod ^ in Charlotte on the 12th instant. It might be well to inquire if the existing ra debt of the Church, or Synod, should not ^ * be paid, before other liabilities are in- jlt curted. ' fo Is It better to strengthen existing A, churches, before organizing little churches whoee pastors must be supported in part for years from enforced contributions Aj from children, poor men who live in rented Ai houses, or firom other poor families whoee ^ homes are mortgaged. A, Whether it is better to turn the Mexican A missions over to natives and then call ^ home all of our missionaries, where they might add strength, and not weak- A nesa, to the Church. ? la it advisable to continue our lady jj missionary in India. The gentleman mis- B sion&ry having gone to India on individual authority or responsibility, the the people are In no way legally or morally bound for his salary. ' ? Why does the Synod enquire so much more particularly about the per capita B collections than about the per cent of B additions to the church membership? Why the alow growth of the A. R. P. g church in other cities and towns than Charlotte? > ' 1 g Why definite and specific reports are g not required of all male missionaries 1 whether at home or abroad, showing how B they spend their time, the number of ser- B mons they preach and the number of hear- b ere by actual count, who attend their ser- B vice on Sunday, morning and evening. B Should missionaries, at home or abroad, ci be required togive their full time to the Ci work for wfel<% they are employed, give g part of their time to other gainful o< pursuits, or other business of their CV own, without accounting for said divert ^ sion of their time? q Should the church oontinue to dispense Ck generous charities to Mexicans whiie denying the semblance of charity to any- VJ body-at home? Is the expenditure of our money in MexlQQ not in a large measure, reepon- D sible for the inability of many congrega- ]> tfon to pay better salaries to their pastors. D It might be well to inquire if we really g. Want in our church Negroes, Indians, mixed Wood; or white Mexicans who live & in shacks, sleep on dirt floors, eat without ^ knives and forks, and who are. so defisient in civilization that they do Aot provide fb?th6 oomfort of tbeir families. pj Why do we maintain free schools for Fi Mexicans while refusing free tuition to FI every bodyfln the Colleges at Itae West ^ Whydoes the Synod require its officers, q, Cr agents, to dismiss a student at Erskine H, for misbehavior, and then keep, or oon- 31 flscate, the unearned part of his tuition ^ fee. In this connection it might be asked i0 if the Church should not have as high In standards of right and wrong as the State, and if religious colleges should not havo as high moral integrity as a State institution? 1 ;?J "Clemson College, S.

"Bepljdng to your inauiry as to what refunds are made to students when they leave, I beg to say that I find that up to VJ the end of about the first month, all the money deposited by the cadet Is refunded, ; with the .exception pf his board, and washingat the rate of $8.50 per month. After n the lapse of a month or so, he Is refunded whatever la due him far unexpended board , and lodging, for hla breakage, and unlform,?in fact, everything except the vc hospital and incidental fees. My. exam- j lnation into this matter convinces me that , if anything the Treasurer has been too j liberal in refunding, especially in regard 1 to th? incidental and hospital fees, which ( amount each to 15.00 " -vwttb kind regards, Sincerely yours, , v 7*'W. M. Rlggs, Acting President." Why do bo many of our churches, pres- Pi byteries, or individuals abandon our Chureh for other hurches, Ths Synod might appoint a committee fei on Church killing, to report at the next } Syrtotf ffthe^e fe-a quicker or a surer way ^ of killing a weak church than by excessive taxation for Impracticable arid unwise so purposes. Pj1 -ft might be In order to Inquire the rea- 01 sen for taxing home mission churches, while not taxing mission churches in' , Mexico.. " N< It might be weH to inquire if there Is Oi any known way of more certainly wasting ^ money tiaen by sending it to Mexioo. Vt It would be tatereStihg to know if a Pi ten-thousand-dollar free school house has been built-for pauper Mexicans, while no pj j free- school1 bouse of any sort has been Pi built -tor our own people. Bj The proposition of Bev. Mr. Dale that .] hi about doubling the number of our j missionaries in Mexico we could, in a 1 generation, evangelize a territory in ^ Mexico as big as South Carolina To simpMfy the proposition, why not set off half R< the proposed territory How oocupied, and B< wltb oar present force, evangelize the ^ reducedarea in a generation. Part of our Sc missionary force-has been in Mexico for St thirty years. Del? Mr. Dale explain how many square miles be and his associates have evangelized in the last ten years. St By figuring it out in this way we could knew with mathematical precision how long ifrwouki take to evangelize Mexico If In-ten years, our army of missionaries' St terfdh'ers, physicians and trained nurses tiMa n-vancralWprl a. thniiRAnfl ftfinarp mil an or ttn acres', any school boy could figure it out exactly. Mr. Dale did not state bow many square miles or square acres bad been worked up to a high degree of evangelization. Tbe Synod should look into this.- When he made suoh liberal promises as te wbat an increased number of missionaries could do in a generation, it is perfectly certain that be meant no reflection upon himself and his associates for their failure to do in the past what he proposes to do in the future.

When Spiritualism was comparatively new and we were youngsters, we used to hoar delightful spooky stories about my? terious actions of furniture and thing! which one never soeras to hear nowadays. I remember one about some people who had guests Invited to a grand dinner. Tha table was spread with all tho dishes, but the meal had not yet txSen served. The family had a great store of beautiful glase and china, and it was all on tho table. For a moment the servants were all out of the dining room, and just at that moment all tho people in the rest of the house heard a deafening crash of falling dishes. Frpm the dining room there came the Boftnd of glassware precipitated upon the floor and crushing into fragments, and in the midst of the roar of this wreck there rose to the terrified ears of the ho6t and hostess the high, clear note of the smashing of much t!hln china. Everybody in tlw house?family, guests, servants?rushed to the dining room door at the same moment, expecting to see nothing less than the table overthrown and every precious dish on It broken. And what did they behold? The table set In perfect order, with not a thing on it disturbed. What had made the awful crash! Nobody ever knew. Not a dish was even nicked in that house that day. The spirits, so the story ran to us, had just mado a terrible ghostly crash for the fun of it and the alarm of the household. I remember that this story impressed me a great deal more than it would have imnrp.iKfid me If the dishes had really been found smashed, though It could have bees proved that no human being had been in tho room at the time. I had Driver before heard, of a ghost that was a crash and nothing more. I fancy tho astonishment of those alleged people was not greatei than that of a friend of mine over an episode not at all similar. This gentleman*! wife and daughter were out shopping one afternoon, and he reached home ahead of them. So far from feeling grieved and outraged at not finding them there to make him welcome, he set to work pleas* antly to give them a surprise by getting them their supper. He hadn't much in the house, but he set out what he had and placed on each of three plates a nice lot d sardines and then went out to make them tea. Ho got it made and came back and looked at his table in astonishment. HI* upper was gone! The plates were then .-just where he had placed them, but the? were as clean as when ho put them on. He knew that there was not another human being in the house.- What sprite had wafted away those sardines? This is a true story. There was not an other human being in the house, but th< gentleman owned two delightful oookei spaniels, and they were in the house. Who -> * ? 4.V CUl UUUUb bUtftb, OO lUC/ UUAUU VUO piouvi which had contained the sardines, they had said to themselves: "Go to.

"Now, Blackwood, how could the doath af the sovereign possibly affect you?" h? would say. ' If you heard of it tomorrow morning, you know perfectly well you would eat just as good a breakfast?you would not even deny yourself that second kidney." It was in vain to protest that in faoe of such a calamity the very thought of broiled kidneys would be distasteful Mr. Trollope bore everything before him and prepared for another attack.
