D., has an article in the last Baptist Quarterly advancing a view of Christ's humanity that has attracted much at tention. We Rive below an extract. After maintaining tho real Godnooil of Jesus, Dr. Crosby proceeds: In speaking to his four disciples, Peter, James, John, and Andrew, (while Bitting on the slope of the Mount of Olives over against the temple), with regard to the Son of Man's coining in the clouds of great power and glory, he says: "Of that day and hour knoweth no man; no, not the angels in Heaven; neither the Son, but the Fattier." Here ho expressly declares his igno rance of the time. Is it anything but trifling to Bay that the man Jesus did" not know, but the God Jesus did ? Was not he who spake to the four disciples one person ? Was ho a double, who could deceive his disciples by equally allirming or denying personal action of himself as one thing or the other ? When he said ho did not know, did he all the while know per fectly well? It is a strange theology that teaches this of 1 Mm who was the truth. When Jesus was asleep, was ho all the time awake ? Did he have only the semblance of sleep ? Was he acting a part ? Away with such a staining of the simplicity and beauty of Christ's life by a theological subtlety wholly uncalled for ! When Jesus was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow, that person, whom the disciples knew that particular individuality, whom they loved and lollowcd was asleep, nnobserving, unknowing, unconscious. And so, when he was a babe, he was a very babe. A present, active iJodhood would have destroyed the babe and made a monstrosity. We need not refer again to the declaration that Jesus crew in wisdom: but add only one other instance of his positive lack of know ledge, in hii conduct when touched by tho woman who had an issue of blood. Can any candid man read that narrative and suppose Jesus knew who touched him? If it were written of any one else but Jesus, such a no tion never would have been broached. Jesus, knowing by some sign, which only a miracle worker could understaud, that a healing virtue has gone from him, turns to find out the subject of the healing; and, after some delay, discovers her by her own fears and con fession. This Is the story. Make Jesus to have pretended this Ignorance, and the grace of the scene is eadly marred while tho language is redely wrested. The eacred writer, if Jesus had known who had touched him, would have written. "Jesus, immediately knowing in him self who it was who touched him;" but instead ol that he says, "Jesus, immediately knowing In himself that healing virtue had gone out ot him." 8U.M.1IA11V OF CIILKCII NEWS. I'KESnYTHRIAN. In about fifteen populous counties of south eastern Texas there is not a single Presbyterian minister. Through this region of country two railroads arc projected, one of which will bo in miming order within the next twelve months. Stewart College, at Clarksville, Tennessee, is approaching a complete reorganization. The Kev. J. li. Shearer was chosen President some months ago. Mr. James Dinwiddie, recently Principal of the Sayre Institute, Lexington, Kentucky, has been chosen Professor of Mathe matics; Mr. Duncan M. (Juarles, Professor of Latin; and Mr. James A. Carrigcr, Professor of Greek. The new Presbyterian Church at Brandon, Mississippi, is at length completed, and has been dedicated to tho service of God. It is a beauti ful huildiDg, 00 feet long by 34 feet wide, and 20 feet from lloor to ceiling, with a sixteen-foot gallery for the use of the etioir. The spire is 100 feet high; and the building being situated on a beautiful and elevated lot. gives the church a very commanding appearance. The Kev. J. A Quarles, pastor of the Lex ington Church, Missouri, has been choseu presi dent of the Elizabeth Aull Seminary ia thut city. The Herald and I'resbyler, Cincinnati, says: "Dr. 8. J. P. Anderson, of St. Louis, is to re move to Illinois, to take charge of an educa tional institution at Richview. Dr. Anderson is one of the most influential ministers in the Southern Presbyterian Church. He Is laid aside from the pulpit by disease of the throat, and proposes to devote himself to teaching." At the late commencement of Hamilton Col lege the following appointments were made: S. D. Wilcox, Napoli, graduate of Hamilton in 1806, was elected to the chair of Rhetoric, va cated by Dr. Upson; Chester Huntingdon, of Auburn, of the class of lbotl, was elected to the chair of Natural Philosophy; Kev. A. G. Hop kins, of Auburn, class of 1800, having 6erved one year as Assistant Professor of Latin with acceptance, was elected full Professor of Latin. The Education Committee of the Southern Presbyterian Church congratulated the Assem bly that, whereas at the close of the war there were bnt two candidates for the ministry, there are now nearly three hundred, being equal to nearly one-third of the roll of ministers. A correspondent of the New York Observer Bays: "The new Synod of the Pacltlc, as con stituted by the last General Assembly, now em braces nearly all the territory west of the Rocky Mountains, being in extent about three quarters as great as all that portion of our L'nion lying east of the Mississippi river. And yet, in all this vast extent of country, we have but 70 churches and 7'J ministers." The Presbyterian Church of West Farms have tried the Free Cburch scheme for one year, and, as a result, the Board of Trustees reported on Sabbath momlDg, after service, July 17, that the amount received was $000 In excess of any previous returns. . Two years ago the Rev. J. W. Clokey, United Presbyterian minister at Steubenville, Ohio, was guilty of allowing, by vote of his session, the late Dr. Ekin, ot the Old School Presbyterian Cburch, te assist and partake at his communion table. For this offense he has since then been refused a certificate of minis terial standing; and, on leaving that Presbytery for another, he has been followed by a vote of the Bteubenvllle Presbytery, expressing its want of confidence in him. The Central Presbyterian says It is the widespread opinion In the Synod of Virginia that the Southern General Assembly acted un wisely in refusing to appoint a committee of conference with the Northern Presbyterians. The New York Evangelist Bays: Secession is reported to be the order of the day in the West. Two pastors in the Western Presbytery, Messrs. Bratton and Harshaw, are reported as about to join Dr. McMaster in withdrawing from General Synod. It is not impossible that the whole Presbytery, two vacancies excepted, will go out in a body. EPISCOPAL. The Episcopal Church of the Advent, San Francisco, has adopted congregational singing, thus saving two hundred dollars per month heretofore paid to the choir. They are now able to employ an assistant for the overworked rector, and will probably sustain a mission chapel bi-sides. A correspondent of tho Adcance says: "At the Santee Agency the Episcopalians are play ing the part acted by the reformed Catholics In the Sandwich Islands. After twenty-five years of preparation by the missionaries of the Ame rican Board, they come in and set up a rival mission. But, as in the former case, the natives soon weary of the tinsel, and return to the ori ginal connection." Two mechanics in Georgetown, Kentucky, carriage makers, have built with their ywn bands, working only after shop hours, a Gothic stone church, which would have cost complete 15,000. They have been at work on it for live years. In the Episcopal Church at Vermilion, Territory of Dacotah, the lligh-Cburch rector has not a communicant. At a recent com munion season he alone partook of the emblems. The Chunk Journal charges that Bishop Mcllvaine, at a recent confirmation in Colmn r'ie, Ohio. said that roii1irrn:ifori wn no t meut, and Ual toe iavtijg u oi iiu um Jtrred thereby uo grace. A week or two since 8t. Barnabas Church, Omaha, was entirely demolished by a tornado. The congregation will immediately set to work to rebuild it. At the meeting of the Kansas Episcopal Convention last month, two ladies and six gen tlemen were placed on the Board of Examiners of, tho Diocefan Seminary, being the first in stance in the country in which women have been elected to a diocesan office. The late Chester Adams, of Hartford, In his will, which has been admitted to probate, be queathed over tlOO.OOO to various charitable and religious societies. CONGREGATION VL The Rev. Joseph Haven, D. D., has written from Dresden, Germany, resigning bis Profes sorship in the Chicago Theological Seminary. He states that his health reuirts a liirbtr oc cupation, and that be takes this step after hav ing medical advice at home and abroad. The Rev. C. C. Morse, a Congregational clergyman of Topeka, Kansas, went down into his well, a few days ago, and finding it full of foul gas, asked to be pulled up. He was pulled about twenty feet from the bottom, when ho fell back, struck his head on a sharp stone, and was instantly Killed. In reply to the charge that Congregational ism is dying out in New England, the Conejm.ja tionalist shows that since 1 Sill that denomination has, in Massachusetts, added to its force two himdred and thirteen new churches and over forty-two thousand members, thin nearly rtoub- , ling its ministry and more than doubling its membership in the last forty years. During the past year the Congregational ists have employed 58 missionaries in Northern and 7 in Southern Illinois, serving 00 churches and 10 out.stations. During tho year 11 churches have been organized, 11 have become self-supporting, and 7 have dedicated houses of worship. Of the 2:55 churches, 10:1 are self-supporting, 00 have missionary aid, and 43 uniio with other churches in the support of a minister or are unsupplied. The average missionary salary in Illinois this year has been ft584; in Vermont, tSbD-.K); Michigan, .fOtil'10; Iowa, W8; Massa chusetts, $700; New Hampshire, $050; Maine, $000 making jthe average missionary salary in these seven States $050. The descendants of Jonathan Edwards are to hold a reunion at Stockbridge, Mass., Sep tember fi and 7. Among those not of the family who are to be present and participate, are Dr. McCosh, Dr. J. N. Tarbox, President Hopkins, and Professor Park. President Woolscy is to deliver tbe commemorative discourse. The First Cburch, New London, Conn., will celebrate its 200th anniversary, October 5. During these two centuries, it has only had eight iiastors. 1 ho present pastor, is Kev. Dr. T. P. ield. METFIODIST. The finest parsonage of the Methodist Epis copal Church in the United States is said to be the one in Newark, N. J. It cost $25,000, and is elegantly furnished throughout. Its present occupant is tho Kev. O. 11. ljilany, D. D. The Rev. Rufus Wendell, a New Englandcr. who left the Methodist Episcopal Church to join the Second Adventists, years ago, has re turned to it, "convinced that he has been advo cating a lie." lho Methodists ot Saratoga are about to erect a new edifice, to cost $50,000, of which $30,000 have been subscribed. Ihe Methodist says: 'The union of the Bible Christians and New Connection Methodists of England, which has been agitated for some time, has not yet been consummated. Last year it was determined uy uie .Metnodist iMew Con nection Conference to submit a scheme of union to the circuits. It was found, at the recent set slon of the conference at Shellleld, that many of the circuits were opposed to the jilan, and the coiiicrence increiore pusauu resolutions reierniijr the matter again to the 'Annual Committee until there is 'a substantial agreement among ourselves, as also between the two communities that are to be united.' " The Irish Wesleyan Conference has dis cussed Lay Representation on the occasion ot pe titions in its favor from two circuits and one dis trict meeting. The conclusion was that It was not advisable to make further changes immedi ately, in view of tbe plan just adopted for re constructing the vaiious mixed committees, on a new and enlarged basis. BAPTIST. The Snare Hour. published In California. states that there are ninety Baptist minister! in the United States bearing the name of Jones. Two Baptist churches in Chicairo have over a thousand members each, vU.: The First Church (Kev. Dr. Evarts, pastor), 1012; and the Second Church (Kev. Dr. Goodspeed's), 1005. Altogether there are in the city nineteen Bap tist churches, with a total membership of 4507. Bince the 8th of November last, forty-seven members have been added to the First Baptist Church, Wilmington, .m. c; an increase ot twenty-five per cent, within eight months. LUTHERAN. The Rev. William Ashmead Schaerter. of Germantown, ra., Has accepted a can trom Christ Church, Easton, Pa., and expects to enter upon the charge in September. . II tne lAiinerans oi mis country oe an counted as one body, they would make one of the largest denominations we have. But they seem hopelessly divided. The portion of them which approacn more neany to our American evangelical churches, and which believe In con version and accept revivals, are connected with the General Synod. A somewhat larger number, including more of the German-speaking churches, hold more closely to tbe exact habits of worship of tbe Fatherland, and are very strenuous for the old church sym bols and creeds. They are attached to the General Council. A smaller number, forming originally the Missouri Synod, protest against the ecclesiastieism of the council, even as being too loose, and Insist that Lutherans must not exchange pulpits with members of other denominations. Wisconsin ana iowa nave Dractieally cone over to the Missourlans, and the latter are gaining strength by tho natural tendency to take one or the other of two logical extremes. Not so much on the surface, but yet as a practical dividing force, is the Question what position Christians must take on the questions of the Sabbath and of temperance, and whether those who are hard drinker and natronize or keen oneu their saloons on the Sabbath thereby forfeit the rights of membership. Ihe Lutheran institutions in Watertown, Wisconsin, are now in a very pre carious condition, threatening to suspend un lees tbe churches give immediate aid. But the more moderate Lutherans say the reason of the coldness of the churches towards its wants is )ecause "Missouri " has got control, and this does not secure the sympathy or the best por lion of Wisconsin Lutherans.
