Last Sunday ottr pulpit was sup
plied by one of the sttwlenta of the
Southern Presbyterian Seminary
here. J The young gentleman—Mr.
McFarland—gave entire satisfaction.
Even the hereay hunters found no
fault with him. .Mfowarf may not
approve of it, but we think it better
that one people are fed at home than
that they should lx* compelled to
hunt in different directions for spir-
itual ftxM, or what la still worse, not
lie fed lit »H. The Lord provided,
and we are grateful.
Yes, the Lord is truly with us;
blessed be his name! We were
afraid that we would not have an
editorial 1 for this number, but the
Lord pi|t it into the heart of our
coDeagnk from whom we have not
bad a scrap for months, to send us
moat unexpectedly » “leader,'” and
thus rertieTca us of all disquietude.
Now wet know our good “brother”
will do his part til! wo either resume
or resigfi. We are the Lord's; his
will he done!
Staunton Female Seminary.
Haring been «o foug sih nt con
cerning our Seminary, many of the
readers of the Yisttar will no doubt
be glad to bear of its present eon
ditioo and future prospect*. Thu
third .session, which is uow rapidly
♦hawing to a close, has been decided
ly successful. We have bad twenty-
four boarders in attendance. This,
to all who know anything of the
history of such schools, is regarded
a west encouraging state of things.
The; first annual suasion we bail but
four boarders for half of the term,
with au addition of one at tho open
iug of the aeeoud half term.
lul our second annual session wo
had ten boarders for the entire term,
which was double the highest num
ber in the first year. Thus it will be
seen that the present session baa
more tha* double the number of the
second, and more than four, lacking
oue Of tusking Jive times that of the
first. The prospect for a fourth
term is decidedly hopeful at this
time, so much so that it in our pres
ent expectation to enlarge our build
ings this, summer, that we may lie
able to .accommodate not less than
forty boarders next year.
To the friends of female education
in our church this resnlt must be
most gratifying, and we trust will
prore a stimulus to increased dili
gence on their part to make this
school such a decided success as will
be both ad honor and a blessing to
our Zion* lint we propose to let
extracts from letters recently re
ceived from intelligent laymen from
three different Synod* in our Southern
Church, the writers of which have
sisters or other friends] hero at this
time among our pupils, speak in be
half of the Seminary. The first is
from Sou til Carolina ;
* “I candidly assure yon tbst I am
perfectly satisfied with your school,
and especially with my sister's prog
ress. Faitfoer, i feel honored that
our church can boost of such a
school -afid corps of professors as
Staunton Female Seminary can at
present show to the world."
The second is from a member of
the TenWtesee Synod, who resides In
ViVfrinia:i>' f
“Long recogniziug the fact that
one of. the greatest wants of our
Lutheran Climrh, Bon fib, was a fe
luUkfethool of high order, I rejoiced
at the announcement of your Inten
tion to establish one, and am proud
that I was one of tho few that en
couraged‘it, and to day I am happy
in believing Staunton Female Sem
inary an Established inatitution of
onr church, and is fast being recog
nixed by *11 Lnthcruns as the place

The third is from a member of the! laad
Synod of Soath western Virginia, 1
and though long yet we take
liberty to nee it, ea it m felly
accords with onr Mens as to what
female education shonld be. It te
proper, too, to add in thin ronneo.
iii,ii that thh lotto* >u n.,i written
to os, end therefore it was not amp
posed that it would ever meet onr
eye*, much less he mad by maay
in the oolnmos of the paper. We
accidentally heard of U through a
third party, and obtained permMMon
from the recipient to copy so much
of it a* refen to the subject ia
band. And the gwacroos author of
the extract will hiiow nothing of the
liberty we take with hie thoughts,
thrown off in the freedom of soul
converse with a loved steer, till he
seen them ia print, yet we can not
refrain from giving thorn publicity,
though he cry oat, ^peoastte» :*
.“It gives me great pleasure to
know that yoa are making every
effort r improve to the at meet year
opportunities. Yoa, ia common with
your fellow students, have rare forth
ties for mental and moral training,
afforded to few. Have yoa ovar
looked around yoa and contrasted
yoar condition with the great majority
of young ladies t How many, under
the ban of povorty, are strangers to
the refining Infineon** of social life
and intellectual excellence, lacking
in a great measure those noble noil
refined instincts, whack, when proper
ly directed and cultivated, constitute
the true glory of woman ! how many
professing greater social and pern
alary advantages, are content to
fritter their God given time ia as*
less vanities, ia bowing at the shrine
of fashion, in bartering aw»y riemat
joy* tor the Item! ornaments of earth.
“1 think one of the moat pitrabtr
spectacles ia all the wide circuit of
Christendom is that of a young lady
endowed with natural r*|wcity *«ffi
cleat to rule an empire, or to gladden
the hearts of thousand* with deeds
of love and merry, yet spending her
days ami nights in novel reading
and in the giddy round of worldly
pleasure. Many seem to have no
higher opinion of their worth than
that the true end of their esisteocw
is to flit like butterflies before the
eyes of the other sox, to dajuie by
the brilliancy of tbeir fbrrowrd or
namonts, to gratify a false and viua
ted tame by* the exhibUioa of vain
and frivolous accompfsihmsnt* I
believe woman's In be a nobler nftkw
than this. I behove she ts reapomu
ble for the conscientious culm stww
of *11 her mental and moral |x>w«rs.
Tins* women are the trwe edacacocs of
the race. 1 believe the perfwtuitjraf
oar government and of all the teamed
Insti tat tons, state, educaikmal, re
ligions, &e., are all deprmlenl on the
character of the women of oar land
Ilow important then to stsslto kww
what she ought to lx>—to exalt the
standard of her accomidishiiMMita, to
fit her for her station in life—to
make her something more than the
brducurd, toolhms ornament of the
parlor or ball room. I better*, my
dear steer, yoa ere now under the
tutelage of thou* who feel and act
under thfoc truths.
“All of our seminaries are not of
this character—some, in a spirit of
compromise with evil, pander to the
false tastes and stnful fashion* of
the day, and Hut* sow seeds of evil
which will produce an abundant bar
vest of social and national woe."
We give these extracts, so #o
couraging to ua in our arduous on
delinking, not from any spirit of
vain glory, but merely to show to
the church that those who are pat
rotiixing the school and have done so
from its opening, are ita most stead
fast friends. And this moat be our
apology to the authors of tho letters
from which we have copied, for the
liberty we have taken with them.

seme of the rseenhnl (feterioes of
ehrietiaaily.
Msay after s loag sad faithful in-
veetigstiou of the suhyect of religion,

tad that this totally foils fe obviate
the difficulty, for they find great
diversity of opioiou aad hot «onten
trao asKmg those who ceil themselves
by the mum name. Take for exam
ple the Lathrua obarch. Here they
hoar oua preaching experimental,
heart felt religion ; a religion that
prompt* men to live and labor for
tfed, ami fills the heart with a deep
oesorrn for the salvation of other*,
ami tndaoes him to potot sinners to
tho Lamb of (fed; a religion which
partem the heart aad changes man
tot* the image of (fed, sod cuahlts
him to **uount all things bat loss for
the oauriUtoucy of the knowledge of
Cbnot Joans f a religion that wift
support and make him happy to life,
happy to death, aad femver happy
in heaven. But another oomes aioa~
calling himself by the some name,
whoso preaching to just the reverse,
lie rails thorn this to all wrong, and
to oaljr calculated to lead men astray
and giro them nooses—sr> trouble:
that this is the kind of doctrine
which nil the eidtr ministers in the
Lotherua church have lx*eu preach
ing for the lust forty years. And
IftiHUMF lorj [HfteClIfU Mir iwrgkMIlj;
doctrturs wife a seal aod earneatneM
that radicated tho priceless estimate
they (daeed upon the a ad y mg soul,
he rocks tbsm a white to the cradle
of wild fins sod then pi sues them
among the insincere and hypocriti
cal ; than manifesting tho highest
contempt foe the older mioiatens tho
doctrines prouobrd b.v them, xml else
for the dinar obligation laid upon
the poesf to nmpeot tho aged.
When men ot the world see such
tilings developed to the character of
OHsimn, it ran hove no other ten
dency than to drive them aw ay from
Ubrtot; hot they have the word of
(fed by which to try the spirits, and
If minister* who entertaiu soch sen
timents would but examine this snb
jert to the (rue spirit of Christianity
they would find that this is the
cradle in which the apostles ot Christ
and all the primitive Christians were
rocked. This cfifeNe is still in good
keeping, and we pray God to permit
tw* man to enter the ministry without
first giving him a good rocking in it.
There is something in it essentially
neeemary to qualify a man for the
ministerial office. It is something
like fire—of a purifying nature.
There is fire in the Christian religion,
and a religion that has no fire in it
is not of God. God baptises his
inintotcra, and all who come unto
him through Christ, with the Holy
Ghost and with fire, and intends
that their heart* shall uot only be
kept warm but hot by it, and if by
neglect they become even lake warm,
be declare* that he will spew them
oat of his mouth.

with that litUe squad of Pharfen
who hypocritically called the Ban**
“Master,” and requested him *%
rebuke his disciples.” Bet
their preseooe, 1 presume, would fe
have deterred him from making ti*
reply, “I tell you that if them festh

the room with the disciples m £

great “sound came from heaves *n

to the oataiders the absurdity g
such a meeting, and to prune h
absurdity would have said, •'Tfc,

Dr. N. might have stood fo

slve argument f
We desire it dearly ncderHfe
that, in citing the above insuami
of the Spirit's operations, we fe w
wish to mofce the impression oa ts;
one that the Spirit never operatmh
any other way. That would to t
palpable contradiction of the phi*
teaching of God's word, aod vote
plunge us into the asm sbym of
error to which we find Dr*. A. aad
who give ns on instance iu vhieh
the Spirit operates to a certain mm
oer, that corresponds with their ra
tions of order and propriety, ad
then unchristianize oil who du fe
believe as they do. This ia ssytog
to (fed, “it thy Spirit to bis open-
trims oa the hearts of men does W
h tried y accord with our nothin of
order and propriety, ore will fe
recognise those influences as harrif
a divine origin, but will attrffeb
them to Satan—the author of om
fusion.”
Such sentiment* might be expert
ed among men of the worifi, tot
such seutimeuts in the bosom of fe
cborch to * spectacle on which asgdi
might look in astonishment. It«F
pears that some men have taken 1k
great work of salvation mto few

God or the Bible, are determiaol h
have everyth tog one, whether TigR
or n roDg, true or false. Notbtoftos
s mighty oot-pourtog of the Hoi;
Spirit upon the church will remew
these evils am) correct these wren.
Then let every lover of the tr*fi
(God's word is truth; approach fe
merry seat, in the faith af the f*
pel, and the humility of the lihh
child, and supplicate ttos ontqfek
able blessing upon tbs church; od
titer dictating the manner ner fe

be pleased to “pour out sack a W**

enough to receive it,” let all K&
Amen, it ts all for the better. ^

It was this nuholy spirit ft*

this unholy strife, the Apmhh P**J
