The New Year.opens to us with good cheer.
Every mail brings us new names to our list of
subscribers. One small but pleasant town in west
ern New York, send ten additional names to a list
of over twenty. There are a hundred towns that
could easily do the same, and be the richer and
m tetter for it. With the large proportion of the
subscribers who came with the transfer of the
Genesee Evangelist, the year commences with the
present number, and the prompt men are an
ticipating the time, and the renewals, have been
coming in for two weeks. One man mails his
TWO dollars on the 30th of December, and says
that all' the .fault he can find with our paper is that
we do not exact payment invariably in advance,
and stop all who do hot comply with these terms.
We like his theory admirably, and if all would do
"as he doeß, it would be safe in practice. But
there are many who ought to have the paper, and
that would lose it by their delay and neglect. It
is a remarkable fact that the. richest blessings have
often to be urged upon men, and many by neglect

ANNUAL REPORT OF
THE SABBATH-SCHOOL BIBLE SOCIETY
OF THE tfHIRD PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCH, PHILADELPHIA.
The Bible Society is the only Society, possess
ing a distinot organization, which has lived inside
of “Old Pine Street Church” Sabbath-school to
see the age of manhood-—twenty-one years! The
period attained, shall not, however, be embraced
for the purpose of turning back to the commence
ment and retrabing the path and progress of the
Society, through each successive year, till the en
qfc’tita. .past be brought within of thtf preaent_
' Interesting as they might be r6undT, we shall not
encumber the present report with the statistics of
the past twenty years.
The secretary, whose duty requires of him the
making and reading of the annual reports, has en
deavored to submit the doings of the Society each
year, embodied in language so varied, that one re
port might not be mistaken for another. There
is one subject, however, over which he has never
been able to exercise any control; It makes its
appearance in each report, andstands distinguished
in hold figures to impart true and definite value,
so as to redeem the Secretary’s labored productions •
from their sterility. It is a faithful document,
never detracting from, or exaggerating merit—
The Treasurer’s Account. We give it, once
more, a true and cordial welcome:

There is a hymn of much poetic beauty often
SUDg at our union prayer meetings— *•'Watchman,
tell us of the night”—which, however, portrays
almost nothing of the night excepting that dark
ness, doubt Sod terror have taken their flight. It
sings rather of a glorious morning and a perpetual
day! The watch man in Isaiah said “ The morning
cometh, and also the night." The Star’ of Beth
lehem—“ Brightest and,,best of the Sons of the
morning” though it.be, pursues its path of ages
amongst the cloudsas well as through an unclouded
sky. Night and morning variegate, with their light
and shadow, every thing beneath the sun. This
little auxiliary of the Bible cause must share in
the fortunes which fall to the lot. of larger bodies.
Last year our managers were able to place the sum
of 8332.56 in our treasury, as the united fruits of
their labors. The collections by tffo male board

effect is traceable to a cause! It is thi&x an ex
traordinary effort has been' engaging our entire
school for the last quarter of a year, the object of
which is to raise funds by which to aid in endow
ing an asylum for poor and friendless orphan In
dian children. The effort, as successful as it has
p been extraordinary, has resulted in a contribution
ranging between two and three hundred dollars.
Have such efforts been hostile to onr Bible in
terests? No. Our Bible Society has lent its ex*
ample, and even supplied the books carried by
collectors as they appealed for help in behalf of
the Indian; and the object sought to be accom
plished may, with truth, be regarded as in perfect
unison with the Bible cause. The Indian believes
in the Great Spirit, and the asylum provides
the Bible to teacb, not only a knowledge of the
true God, but of Jesus Christ, whom he hath sent,
which is eternal life. If by reason of this effort
our sun has stood still, let us be glad that it has
been for precisely the reverse object as that for
which the sun stood still in the time of Joshua.
Then it was that the aborigines of Canaau should
be delivered up and smitten with the edge of the
sword before Israel,—now, it is that the aborigi
nes of North America shall he preserved and placed
in possession of the rights and liberties, civil and
religious, which belong to the conquerors who oc
cupy this mighty land. We here recognize the
principle which may well adorn the Christian
temj_attdliii^'wkrclL.llcii*yGrratt6an : BOoloquently
pleaded (or oppressed Ireland—That a; conquered
people have a right to every privilege whieh may
be guarantied by the constitution of the conquer
ing or superseding power.
We have already said that we have refrained
from loading this 21st Report with tbtestatistics-of
the past, although it might have been interesting
to know the sum total of the society’s doing as it
reaches the years of maturity. A few reflections
will force themselves upon our attention. The
sooiety has*profited by the services of not a few,
who have filled successively the offices of Presi
dent, Yice-President, and Treasurer; and how
many of the young have labored as managers!
Some; well remembered and much loved, now sleep
in Jesus. The office of Secretary has been less
bountifully supplied. If we except the Conven
tion, at which our#constitution was adopted," this
office has had but a single incumbent. It surely
is full time that he, too, should have a successor.
He must, v by number of years, have compensated
for all lack of ability in the performance of duty,
and should long years of service not have earned
fof hiiri an honorable discharge, it may at least be
contended that his title to dismission cannot be
challenged.
The society itself, in the language of last year’s
Report, “ has attained its present prosperity by
slow and gradual growth. No excessive culture
has been employed to unfold its powers, or ripen
its fruits, in advance of a natural maturity. Left
to thecare of its managers, It has brought forth its
productions in due season, without endangering
the ‘.vital spark’ by which" its continued existence
has been maintained.” Its dissolution years ago,
might have allowed others to take its place, and
one after another might have rapidly flourished
and decayed. Novelty and change/ assuming the
sway, would have taught useful lessons on the
mutability of Sabbath-school enterprises, at the
same time that they accomplished good and wise
purposes. The Bible Society, fixing its foothold,
in the school for a term of twenty-one years, must
;UQW diapensawithtfiechgrmsof Yievalty-aW-yn,
'rled movement, and" rest contented while it per
forms its mission, that it has taught all around it
a lesson on the importance of being “steadfast and
immovable.” After all, wbat better cause need
command the services of a Sabbath-school than
the Bible? Its truths must lie at the foundation
of all that is really valuable in Sabbath-school in
struction. What is there in the earth beneath/
or in the heavens above, to reveal to fallen and
sinfui man a knowledge of his Creator? Can man,
a prey to disease, and, as he lies on his death-bed
in-, weakness, compared to which the new-born
is as Samson, teach to his fellow-man the doctrine
of immortality ? No, —No. Expnnge from hu
man lore all knowledge fairly traceable to a Divine
origin, or- to the sacred writings, and you‘leave
him and his race in darkness, exceeding that which
hangs over Ethiopia. The Bible is man’s true
source of light and knowledge, which warns him
of hell, and points him to heaven; and who will
Sbny the obligation which rests on all who- have
been blessed by the possession of the Bible—to
take the Bible and give it to those who possess it
not? ' ■

The World's UnionFrayer-Meeting, —A Union
prayer-meeting is proposed to be held in all parts of
the world, and by all Protestant denominations, on
the second week in January. The call for such a
meeting originated with the American missionaries
in northern India. It has been responded to very
generally in Great Retain. A circular, letier, signed
by forty-five ministers of various Christian communi
ties, has just been issued, inviting Christians,of every
name to unite in this observance. The original call
'of the missionaries is in these words ;
“That we appoint.the second week in January,
1860, beginning with Monday, the Bth, as a time of
special prayer that God would-now pour out his Spi
rit; upon all flesh, so that all the ends of the earth.
In 'ght see His. salvation; that on the first day, that is
on Monday, the Bth, be a holy convocation for solemn
fasting, humiliation and. prayer, and that on the last
day, that is, Sabbath, the 14th, be a holy convocation
for thanksgiving and praise'; that the intervening
time be spent in private and social exercises of prayer
and praise, as the circumstances of each community
may dictate, that all God’s people of every name and
nation, of every continent and island, be cordially
and earnestly invited to unite with us in a similar
observance of that time.”
Revival Abroad .—Our foreign paper# still con
tain cheering accounts of the progress of the revival
in Ireland and Scotland,, and the hopeful indications
that the manifested fruits will prove genuine andi
durable. We make a few extracts of items wbiclg
are gaely an index, to -the- general state of religiouJ
interest prevailing throughout those parts of tae
Briflsh'Eingdoffi:
The work of the Spirit progresses in the same Jet
fectual manner which we have, for some time p/at
described. It is now, in most cases, the “stall, small
voice" which awakens the sinner to a sense of in's
condition, and afterwards whispers hope and ®ace.
The attendance on religious ordinances, and atjpveek
evening prayer-meetings, is so large, notwitlist#iding
the frequently unfavorable nature of the weafier, as
to show'that the interest in those things, njTwhich
many have been lately brought to think fowthQ first
time, is of bo evanescent character. Wefare also
aware of the encouraging fact that the
every part of this Gospel field continue

The work goes on progressing in BeWsst, through

“TOli regard to Larne we have a similarly encou
ragiag account to give. In one of the Presbyterian'
eoßgregatiooa.Jihe increase in the attendance upon
ordinances has been: as much as one-third
-of the whole assemblage usually present; The num
ftr of communicants, previously averaging 360, was
ta tbe last sacramental occasion, augmented to
•about SOO, of whom 90, or upwards, came forward for
the first time. The increase in the number of prayer
meetings is equally remarkable: there are now twelve
where formerly there was but'one. These ali attract
numerous audiences. Of those who made a
profession* of Christ, not one is known to have turned
back to the paths of sin; Several individuals who
were connected with the Unitarian communion, have
been “stricken down,” and have never since entered
the place of worship they once attended. In one of
the Presbyterian congregations, a person has, this
year, sold Bibles to the amount of £2O, and two
others have had equal success; while one lad, who
disposes of religious publications, has doubled his
sales during the same period. At the fair of Larne,
held on Thursday last, the effects of the Revival work

Most cheering accounts continue to reach us of the
rapid and deepening progress of the work in the
Western, Northern and Midland districts of the sister
country. Several of the Scotch papers contain, from
day to day, highly interesting details of awdkenings,
“strikings down," and conversions, at the regular
ordinances in the churches, and at prayer-meetings.
In Edinburgh University, a general prayer-meeting,
open to all students, is to be held every Saturday
morning, from nine till ten, and the students of tiW

Carrubber’a Close, where the revivals first com menced,
wo find the following in reference to a gentleman
who takes a deep interest in the work there“ Every
one who has been engaged in Sabbath teaching, of
course knows the nareui of Mr. Gall. For forty or*
fifty years back, that name has been nssteiated with
Sabbath-schools, and it is nbt the fifl| or the hun
dredth institution set agoing by the venerable father
and his like-minded"son. The system pursued by
Mr. Gall now, with these adults, is essentially the
same as what I first saw him exemplify with children
five-and-twenty years ago—the same simplicity, and
yet power—the plain Gospel narrative followed up
by the “practical lesson.'''. ..

The students of Princeton College have distin
guished themselves by burning in effigy Mr. Seward
and Henry Ward Beecher. The attempts of the fa
culty to prevent this disgraceful act were in vain.
Many of the students are from the South. We trust
that Mr. Seward and Mr. Beecher will be able to en
dure this great trial: The college boys had probably
read in their sehool books the story of the old Greek,
whose name has come down to us only because he
burned a famous temple.
The State of Arkansas has enacted a very strin
gent measure against free negroes, which will go into
effect the Ist of January. AH free negroes found in
the State at that period are to he sold into slavery.
In Mississippi, a law adopted on the 7th instant,
provides that free negroes shall leave the State, on or
before the Ist of July, 18C0; or, if they prefer to re
main, that they shall be sold into slavery, with a
right of choice of masters, at a price assessed by
three disinterested slaveholders, the proceeds to go
into the treasury of the county in which the pro
visions of the bill may require it to be executed.
The Virginia Legislature having inquired of Gov.
Wise the cost of suppressing the late invasion' and
hanging of the prisoners, he answers that the ac
counts are not in, and will "net be until his term ex
pires; hut the expenses will be'very large, on account
of the disorganized condition of the Virginia militia
making it necessary for him to improvise a force for
the occasion. A portion of the military guard, he
; bp afterJhej^ysJjemaining
prisoners, whom lie pronounces the worst of the lot,
are tried and executed.
.It is stated that the publication of the debates in
Congress, in the Southern press, has created a great
demand for the Helper-book, which can only be sup
plied through the Southern members, and under
cover of their own franks, as the postmasters would
seize them. The members consider it a great bore.
Senator Douglas, we regret to hear from Washing
ton, is far from bemg a well man, and his permanent
recovery is very remote, if not doubtful. His disease
is.said to be gout in the stomach. His purpose of
going to Florida is prevented by his inability to
travel at present, though it is his purpose to go
South as soon as he is strong enough to travel.
Mr. Rembrandt Peale, the venerable and distin
guished artist, whose portrait of Washington, painted
from life, and the great picture of the “ Court of
Death,” are well known, is lying ill at Stonington,
Connecticut, where he stopped on his way home
from a visit to Boston. He was attacked with a se
vere bilious disorder. His son-in-law, Dr. Griscotn,
of New York, was telegraphed for, and has returned
with the intelligence that the worst symptoms of*the
disorder are alleviated, and that a fair prospect of
recovery is entertained. Mr. Peale will be eighty
two years of age on the 22d of February next.
Helper has sent a splendidly bound copy of the
unabridged edition of his “Impending Crisis” to
Missouri Clark, with a letter, returning that gentle
man his sincere thanks for the magnificent advertise
ments he has bestowed, free of charge, upon his hook.
The Newark (N. J.) Mercury says: The searlet
fever has been making sad havoc among children, in
our city for some weeks past. One physician daring
the last six or eight weeks, has had 36 cases under
his care. In one instance four little ones in one
family Were away by the scourge. In another,
two were carried off, and both parents have been
prostrated. The disease is of an unusually malignant
type.'
The Nashville (Tonn.) Gazelle says that the bill
introduced into the Legislature, a few Weeks since,
compelling all free negroes to leave:the State, is de
clared to be unconstitutional, both by the opinion of
eminent lawyers and of the people.
There were one hundred and eighty:eighk_ini» E =-
mehfstn'thecity oFPhiMelpßfesSfweeS, the same
number as for the previous week. Adults 86; child
ren 102; males 97; females 91; boys 19; girls 53;

house 9; colored 11.
, The Richmond Whig cannot clearly see the pro
priety of the appropriation of five thousand dollars,
made by the Richmond Common Council, to meet
the extra expenses of the medical students who have
left, or may leave, the northern medical colleges, to
pursue their studies at Richmond. The Whig says
the appropriation is not approved by the people of
Richmond.
There are it appears two medical men in the coun
cil, one of whom opposed the vote in an eminently
sensible speech, which disposes very happily of the
absurd and foolish affair. The Doctor very perti
nently inquires.
“Are the Southern students paupers, are they
mendicants, that the city should be called upon to
pay their expenses? Have they no parents, no
guardians, that this charity should be offered ? And
if the Council have charities to bestow, are there not
worthy objeets in our midst to receive it? He did
not like that word in the resolution, ‘constrained.’
How were they constrained to leave the Northern
Colleges? He had seen no action there to constrain
them to leave. True, Abolition meetings had been
held in the North, but Abolition meetings had been
frequently held there for years. When he was a
student similar meetings were held, but he did not
feel constrained to return home by any such action.
If there were other reasons for this constraint, he
had not heard what they were, and should like to be
informed.”

Henby Booth Nobthkop, son Of the Rev. H. H. Nor
-throp, of Flint, MiCbiganpdied at 9 o’clobk on‘Sabbath
evening, the 11th of December, 1859; havingjust com
pleted the nineteenth year of his age. Two of this fa
mily have died within a period of less than six months;
and in both cases there was a very remarkable, display
of the sustaining power of Christian faith when “heart
and flesh faileth.” However blessed and comforting
the closing scenes of the life of the former, in the latter
there were still'fuller and more convincing and joyful
evidences that those who trust in Jesus will find that
faith to make them “strong to meet death;” happy in
anticipation of the reward that awaits them in heaven.
At the time of his being taken ill, he was a member of
the Junior Class of the Michigan State University.

Much has been said of the Eastern Esculapitts’ labois
for the sick; not one half has yet been told of the indo
mitable perseverance of this singular man. Imbued with
the conviction that Scrofula is the parent of disease, he has
been years engaged in searching the boundaries of the
earth, for its antidote. With vast labor has he canvassed
the products ofsea and land, through both continents until
he has discovered that combination of remedials which
expurges this human rot and corruption from the sys
tem. This new invention we now offer in our columns
under the name of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, although its;
virtues are from substances far more active and effectual
than Sarsaparilla. —Mercantile Journal.
Asthma! —Jonas Whitcomb’s Remedy! Prepared
from a German recipe, obtained by the late Jonas Whit
comb, in Europe. It is well known to have alleviated
this disorder in his case, when all other appliances of
medical skill had been abandoned by Mm in despair.
In no case of purely Asthmatic character, has it failed
to give immediate relief, and it has effected many per
manent cures. 711.
