" Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children." In the mem- bership of the Old South to-day there are descendants of some of its founders and earlier members ; and they, together with those who stand with them in the succession, remembering with grat- itude to God the works of faith and labors of love of the men and women who have gone before, and sympathizing with them in their sacred aims and aspirations, desire to emulate them in their devotion to this church and in their loyalty to Him who has ever been its Lord and Head. They desire also, in their turn, to bear faithful witness to the truth as it is in Him, and to transmit unimpaired to the next century and the next gen- eration the spiritual inheritance which has come down to them.
1 The strength of historic Congrega- tionalism has been its flexibility; and yet there are ministers in this generation who are seeking, as others before them have done, to make it more rigid and more uniform in its outward working, and to bring it under the control of a compacted and centralized administration. It seems to us that to add to the denominational machinery would be to multiply the op- portunities for machine management, that is to say, if we may judge from re- cent events, for the use of political ineth- ods and for restless and aggressive parti-
sanship; while to extend the principle of organization would be to place more power in fewer hands. So far as the be- nevolent work of the churches is con- cerned, what is wanted is, not more or- ganization, but reorganization ; as relates to their internal affairs, these churches are able, for the most part, to take care of themselves, or, if mutual assistance is called for at any time, this can be offered and accepted the most effectively, not under denominational regulation, but un- der the application by the brethren for themselves of the law of love.

HISTORY OF THE OLD SOUTH CHURCH.
Their prayer is that it may continue to be said, as it has been said hitherto, that in the history of the Third Church, - the Old South, -" century uttereth speech to century, and generation showeth knowledge to generation."
Sic dispensant verbum Dei Quod nox nocti, lux diei Indicant scientiam.
Archbishop Trench says, in a note on Adam of St. Victor's hymn from which we have taken these lines, that the opening verses of the nineteenth Psalm, mainly on the strength of the Apostle Paul's application of them, have constantly received a spiritual application. "The Church is the firmament which shews the handywork of God; in which day transmits to day and night to night in unbroken succession to the end of time, the wondrous story of the glory and grace of God." To this unceasing testimony of the church catholic the local churches are evermore contributing, each in its sphere. That this shall not fail from age to age we have the assurance of the Divine word ; may the same promise find ample and perpetual fulfil- ment, as in the past, so in the future history of the Old South Church : " A seed shall serve Him ; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation. They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that He hath done this."
