Philadelphia, Peb. 3d, 1860.
OUR CHRISTIAN CIVILIZATION.
The following is from a paper, the Methodist
Christian Advocate , which is regarded as among
the conservative journals of the North. Oar
readers may see how even such journals are con
strained to express themselves ih view of the
recent developments of feeling in the South:
The Montgomery (Ala.) Mail says: “Last Sa
turday we devoted to the dames a large number of
copies of Spurgeon’s Sermons, and the pile was
graced at the top with a copy of ‘Graves' Great
Iron Wheel,* which a Baptisft, friend -presented'
for the purpose. We trust that the works of the
greasy cockney vooiferator may receive the same
treatment throughout the South. Aud if the
Pharisaical author should ever show himself in
these parts, we trust that a stout cord may speedily
find its way round his eloquent throat. He has
proved himself a dirty, low-bred slanderer, and
ought to be treated accordingly.”
This is but a specimen of scenes which for some
time have disgraced the South. It is by no
means the worst example; it speaks badly enough,
without question, for the public sentiment, not to
say Christian character of the South; but it can
hardly be compared with the numerous instances
which have lately occurred of personal violence,
of hostility to the rights of speech, of undisguised
attempts at black mail against business men, of
the ostracism of upright and useful citizens, vir
tuous families, and almost whole villages of inno
cent people, natives of the soil. An occasional
examplo of such ruffianism might well enough be
overlooked as no indication of a general state of
society, but these barbarities have now become
too common to claim such charity.
There is one fact especially that cannot fail to
strikepubHc attention as terribly significant in re
gards “these'dccumhees7 We refer to the'‘aC
most total dumbness or cowardice of the press of
the South respecting them. No journals are more
rampant with bravery on some subjects than those
of the South. But while they must consider
these events as a public disgrace, and a serious
detriment to the character of the South, scarcely
one of these valorous journals dares to whisper a
word against the infamous demonstrations—de
monstrations that could not occur under the lowest
government of Europe, that would be shamed out
of countenance among any semi-barbarous people
of Asia.
Worst of all is the real contrivance of the reli
)us press of the South at these enormities. The
juth is full of religious journals; we get scores
’ them in exchange weekly, but we cannpt men
lon two which have dared to utter a rebuke against
tese infamies. We can mention several which
ve indirectly if not directly encouraged them,
tat a state of society must exist where such
. be the fact? No impartial man can doubt
it it is the result of the ultra views of slavery
teh now prevail almost everywhere in the
tth, and its religious men and religious papers
responsible for these views. They have blight
the popular conscience by false teachings on
i subject. Discarding the doctrines of the ori
lal statesmen and early religious teachers of
South, who taught that though slavery is a
icult practical problem, to be treated with care,
is nevertheless a great evil, to be got rid.of as
'.edily as possible, the religious guides of South
i opinion, in both the pulpit and the press,
■e come to teach that slavery is an essential
issing, a perpetual interest, an unalterable Bib
mi institution, and that its opposers are enemies
ike to the state and the word of God. The
>utar inference is inevitable; the fiercest inten
,y of both religious and political prejudice has
m excited against all who dare openly or even
vately to dissent from. the. new doctrine. A
:o of society has set in which has no parallel
the history of civilized man; a social condition
which the most sacred rights of American citi
iship—the right of sojourn, the freedom of
sech, the liberty of conscience—are trodden in
i dust, and which, if Washington, Jefferson, or
;rick Henry were to appear in the South, known
ly by their noble sentiments on slavery, would
isign them to the indignities of the mob, to the
\geon, or the gallows!
Is there a more deplorable spectacle now to
seen on tho earth, than the fact that-in the
ith millions of American citizens, who have
property in slaves, and who cannot bat feet
they and their families are degraded by
se enormities, have to stand in the presence
a few hundred thousand slaveholders, smitten
.h dumbness, forced- to connive at, if not ap
'e these villanies; to expose their children
iuch debasing examples; to stifle their own
iciences and self-respect before them ? Were
freemen cast down beneath such a slavery
re?
TERMS.
CLUBS.
Can it be possible that pnblic men—-journal
ists, politicians, statesmen, religious teachers —
expect such a state of things to continue with
out a reaction ?
It is impossible that any community can en
dure them long. They must react. And when
that reaction sets in, the rebonnd will have the
impetus of irresistible shame and indignation.
Public opinion will have an account then to
settle with the reckless promoters of these
scenes, and will settle it with indignant recol
lections which will admit no compromise.
CHRISTIAN VERNACULAR EDUCATION
SOCIETY EOR INDIA.
We have received a circular from England with
the significant heading, “in memoriam.” We
are happy to lay it before the readers of the Ame
rican Presbyterian. '
This Society was founded in May, 1858, as a
Memorial Work, and truly Christian revenge on
India for the injuries and horrors of the Mutiny,
by a united effort of the leading Missionary So
cieties and Christians of various evangelical de
nominations in Great Britain.
Its object is to aid in giving a Christian educa
tion to the 180,000,000 of British subjects in
India, by training teachers and preparing Christian
books in their fourteen mother-tongues.
. Ah arrangement has been made with the Secre
taries of the Church, Wesleyan, London, Baptist,
and Missionary Societies, to select a
certain number of their best established schools in
Yarious parts of India as vernacular training insti
tutions. In virtue of this arrangement, such in
stitutions-will be open to pupils of good character
who many be willing to avail themselves of the
training there, at the charge of the Christian Ver
nacular Education Society, irrespective of their
religious sentiments, on the honorable understand
ing; iu the case of Christians of different denomi
nations, that no influence is to be used prejudicial
to the interests of any particular society or denomi
nation. . By thus working through existing agen
cies, the Society will be enabled, to commence,
without any delay, and will at the same time
draw closer the bonds of Christian love and co
operation throughout the Missions and the future
native Christian churches of India.
Help has already been afforded to the Calcutta
Female Normal School, and to a missionary who
is training teachers for' the Sontbals.
Specimens of all useful books existing in any
of the native languages are being collected, and
deficiencies will be supplied. Two books of Chris
tian reading have been sent to press, and will, it
is hoped, soon be transferred by native translators
into the different languages.
The Society has met with the most warm and
cordial reception from all the Evangelical Societies
working in India, and from many of the best
friends of that country. The American Board of
Foreign Missions have expressed their “cordial
interest both in the object of the Society, and its
plan of operations,” and consider that “it will
beCbme an essential aid and relief to the Mission
ary Societies laboring to propagate the Gospel ih
India.” The Bishop of Calcutta writes, “The
objects of the Society have iny hearty sympathy
and support, and I hope to tike a warm interest
in its proceedings in Calcutta ” Sir John Law
rence says, “ I shall be very happy to do all I can
to further the views of yonr Society, which seem
to be admirable. There can he no question that
the field it has selected is sufficiently large to ab
sorb all that even the good people of England can
do. No better memorial, indeed, of our wonderful
and merciful deliverance of last year could be de
vised. None, lam sure, which is calculated to do
more good among these-deluded people.” Whilst
Lord Shaftesbury writes, “Be assured that what
ever influence I possess shall be fully given to aid
the Christian Vernacular Education Society. The
cause is one of the best, happiest, holiest, I ever
engaged in.”
Two thousand pounds have been collected; and
it is hoped that the means of the Society will be
made adequate to the great work which it has un
dertaken.

A Liberal Collection.— -Last Sabbath morning,
sayiTthe ‘Journal of Commerce,’ Rev. Dr. Adams, of
tfio Madison Square Presbyterian Church, made , ah
earnest appeal in behalf of the American Board of
Commissioners for Foreign Missions, the result of
which was an impromptu collection of a larger sum
than was perhaps ever before taken up in ah Ame
rican in this manner, for a similar object.
Including a sum gi ven during the previous week, the
amount collected was eleven thousand dollars. In
his' discourse, Dr. A. briefly alluded, in passing to
certain matters relating to the management of the
Board* (doubtless referring, among other things, to
the abandonment of the Choctaw mission,) which
met with his unqualified disapproval; but remarked
to the effect that in these days Christian men coaid
not stop the work of evangelization to waste their
energies in combating each other, and that, if there
had been great mistakes, there was so much the more
need of exercising greater charity and forbearance.
TheTnitailatlon of RevrCharles' S. Robins as
paster of the First Presbyterian Church, Henry st,
Brooklyn, took place on Tuesday evening, the 20th
inst Tho sermon was preached by Rev. L. P, Hio
kok, D. D., of Union College; the charge to the pas
tor given by Rev. Samuel H. Cox, D. D,; and the
charge to the people by Rev. Dr. Hitchcock.
This is the church of which Dr. Cox was formerly
pastor.
Camden. —A new Presbyterian church was orga
nized at Camden, New Jersey, on the Ist inst., being
a colony from the Rev. Dr. Stewart’s church, and-the
fruit of his and his people’s efforts to meet the grow
ing wants of that city. A very neat church building
has been provided for the new enterprise, and the
Rev. L. C. Baker was ordained and installed as its
pastor on the day of the organization.
The venerable Rev. Dr. Nott, who has been spend
ing some time in Philadelphia, for the benefit of his
health, left last week to return home. For one so
far advanced in years, he retains a good degree of
activity, whilst his mental powers seem to he unim
paired. .
Fifteen persons were added to the communion of
the Clinton street chureh (Rev. Mr. Darling’s) last
Sabbath... Five persons were added on profession the
same day to the Western Church, Rev. Dr. Smith’s.
The Presbytery of Des Moines, lowa, held its
semi-annual meeting at Swede Point. John C. Er
ving, minister, and John G. Weeks, elder, were chosen
commissioners to the General Assembly.
During its sessions, Presbytery installed Rev. Fisk
Harmon, pastor of the First Presbyterian Chureh,
Swede point, and ordained William M. Kain as our
Evangelist. Brother Kain goes from the Bar to the
Pulpit. Some two years since, his attention was
called to the great work of the gospel ministry by
one of our brethren; after much prayer and self-ex
amination, he applied and was taken under the care
of Presbytery. Having labored with much accep
tance as a Licentiate for a year, at the recent meet
ing he was set apart to the full work of the Gospel
ministry. Thompson Bird,
Des Moines, lowa, March 12,1860.
The Southern Churches and Slavery.— The last
Central Presbyterian instances the following speci
men, to indicate the method by which the Southern
Churches benefit, spiritually, the African race:—
“The Presbytery of Roanoke, Virginia, has ad
dressed a pastoral letter, on the instruction of the
colored people, to the churches under its care, and
ordered the same to be read in all the churches of
the Presbytery. It commences by saying: ‘Among
the important interests of the kingdom of our Lord
Jesus Christ, which have claimed our special atten-
Jiiiinifiur §?£folrgtniatt and (Smjsvf duaaijjelijst.
tions since the organization of the Presbytery in
April last—that the work of the Lord may be vigor
ously and efficiently carried forward within our
hounds —the religious instruction of the colored people
is hardly to be placed second to any other.'
“In the Presbytery of Charleston, South Carolina,
1737 out of 2,889 members, or considerably over one
half are colored. In fhe whole Synod of South Caro
lina, 5,000 out of 13,074, are colored members.- The
Presbyteries of Mississippi and Central Mississippi,
of Tuscaloosa and South Alabama, of Georgia, of
Concord and Fayetteville, also show how many
churches with, large proportions of colored communi
cants, from one-third to one-seventh of the whole.
In the above mentioned bodies, there are 9,076
colored, out'of 33,668 communicants. Among the
churches of these Presbyteries, we find twenty with
an aggregate colored membership of 3,600, or an
average of 130 to each.” *
The Southern Christian Advocate, (Charleston,)
contains an able appeal'to the Methodist Church,
South, to bear a prominent part in support of Mis
sions in Africa. What that branch of the Church is
doing for their slaves at home, may be inferred from
the fact that their statistics, of last year give 163,206
as the number of their colored members.
The Central Presbyterian adds:—
These are not isolated or exceptional oases. Every
branch of the Church, in every part of the South, is
manifesting a like spirit, and with like results. And
in this way the grace of God is solving the “African
problem.”
A True Home Missionary.— 2%e Christian
Instructor, of March 21st, says:—Ten yeara since
there was a little town id the mountainous regions
of this state, which had about six hundred inhabi
tants, but not a single church or house of worship,
nor, so far as known, a single individual in it who
made any pretences to personal religion. About that
time a lady who resided there, was called to visit
some friends in the West, and during her absence
was thrown under religious influences, which resulted
in her serious conversion as she believed. Imme
diately her heart became interested in the spiritual
state of the place of her residence, and she returned
to it determined by the grace of God enabling her,
to undertake something on its behalf.
Accordingly she spoke to several, but received no
encouragement, but was rather repulsed. At length
she resolved upon commencing a Sabbath School.
While walking to her place the first morning, she
met the gentleman who now made this statement,
and told him her purpose, but he too discouraged
her. She however went on, had two scholars that
day, the next Sabbath six,- and before the summer
was closed one hundred and sixty. Shortly after the
school was well started, the -public began to be in
terested, many became personal inquirers after Christ,
a minister and regular preaching were sought, and
now as the population has steadily increased, and
religious duties have been persisted in, there are five
organfzed churches in that place, three Sabbath
Schools with about six. hundred children in them,
and six young men have gone from that place and
from this effort into the Christian ministry.
What a result from a small beginning! What a
blessing upon even an humble effort put forth for
Christ and for bouls. Dear Reader, cannot you-go
and do something for your Saviour and for the souls
of your fellow-men? They are perishing. Who,
who will strive to have them saved? Will not yob?
Accession.—ln New York city, recently, the North
west Presbyterian church, in 50th st., received 74
new members; forty-three upon confession of their
faith in Christ, and thirty-one by letters from sister
churches. Some nine or ten of these, mostly wives
and mother were publicly baptized.
Foreign. 2 he Heathen and Mohammedans in
' London. —While London sends fifty or sixty mis
sionaries to heathen lands every year, it is only lately
that attention has been drawa to the five thousand,
irestheirand’Mohammedans lmng in London. They
have come hither as sailors, its servants and nurses
to English families returning from remote countries,'
and in other ways. Yot nearly all these foreigners
sink down, in London, into far greater wretchedness
—into far more dreadful depths of sin, tjhan in their
own country. Their dwellings are in the vilest
haunts of vice in the public streets, and, above all,
in the poor-houses, jails, and hospitals. Within a
few years an institution has been founded which is
known by the name of “The Home of the Foreign
er, a Refuge for Asiatics, Africans and South Sea
Islanders, in London.” Its object is to furnish the
stranger food and lodging at a price merely sufficient
to keep the establishment in operation, i. e., some
what less than two dollars a week. It receives their
money and other property under its care, protects its
guests from imposition, and seeks places for them on
Bhipboard, so that they may return to their own
country. It also provides them with the Holy Scrip
tures ,in tbeir own tongue. 884 were provided for in
the house, and 857 more furnished with lodgings out
of the house, in one year. The Bible is regularly
read and explained to them by Evangelical teach-
ers.
Tor"two yearB~past and more, the City Mission has
also had a special laborer among this class of the po
pulation, so far as they are not under the care of the
Refuge. This person has applied himself diligently
to the acquisition of the Persian, Arabic, Malay and
Hindostanee languages, having a higher, though hum
bler, motive than the mere scholar, and’in ten months
visited twenty-five hundred Asiatics, and received in
return no less than 1095 visits from them. His work
is much like that of a foreign missionary in its trials
and successes. And he sometimes meets with those
who have heard the missionary in their own land,
and who are astonished to meet him in London, too.
Benevolent Labors of De Wette and his Wi
dow. —A special fund for the relief of the widows of
evangelical clergy of Moravia, was founded by the
late Professor De Wette, of Basle, in connexion with
the Geneva Society for the support of scattered Pro
testants. More than a year since De Wette’s widow
took ajourney into this province to acquaint herself by
actual observation with the wants of its Protestant
population: according to her account, since pub
lished, the condition of the clergy and their widbwß,
is, in many instances, truly pitiable; the latter being
sometimes compelled to betake thbmselves to menial
pursuits for aliving. One of the Rothschilds, Israelite
though he was, had come to the assistance of a church
in very needy circumstances by a contribution of 250
francs—an act of liberality which Madame De Wette
holds up to the imitation of Protestant Christians.
Algiers. —The Special Field of Labor of the Basle
Protestant Aid Society is Algiers, where the Romish
priests seek in every way to interfere with the scat
tered little communities of evangelical Christians.
Nevertheless, through the undaunted zeal of the pas
tor, Duerr, the cause of Protestantism has been con
stantly gaining in that country. The schools iu Blida
contain 500, those in Bona 2000, and the Orphan
Houses at Delhi-Ibrahim 123 children of evangelical
families. The Evangelist Justor has succeeded in
gathering a little church of Spanish Protestants at
Oran. At their first communion, last Easter, forty
two Spaniards took part. But the outward condition
of the new converts is a sad one, as they were obliged
to renounce the situations they previously held, upon
forsaking the Romish faith.
Stated Clerk.
Micronesia.— New Hatsen, March 16a, 1860.
Friends of the Micronesian Mission:—the Morning
Star, on her late return to the Sandwich Islands,
brought good news from that region, especially from
my son at Apaiang, whose letters were forwarded by
the SandwielrJslands’ Post-office Department to San
Francisco, and thence to us by the U. S. Overland
Mail.
He had commenced the translation of the New
Testament; some of the people were reading Christ's
sermon on the mount.
A church has been erected, twenty feet by forty,
at Kuinaua, near his residence, where the king and
seventy or eighty others assemble from Sabbath to
Sabbath, to hear the gospel from his lips-in their own
language.
They have thrown down their principal stone idol,
and rolled it into the lagoon, saying,—“Jehovah
alone is God.” Mrs. Bingbak j teaches a small school
of children. My son had recently made a missionary
tour through the Island of Tarawa, whence the sa
vage invaders came agam£t_4p»iang, February 18,
1858. He was kindly received, preached in over SO
villages to' some sixteen hundred, or one half of the
people, and called himself quite happy in his work.
He had a request from the -e&iefs for a missionary
to reside among them. Who will go ?
Let us thank God and take courage. “The isles
shall wait for His law.”

A bill has passed to a third reading, in the New
York Senate, giving to the members for life and
stock-holders of any benevolent charitable scientific
or missionary coiporatton or association the right to
vote by proxy at the annual meetings of such asso
ciations for the election of officers, and also ou all
questions of the subject matter of which notice shall
have been givfen and entered upon the minutes at the
preceding- anniversary meSto&g of .tho association.
The bill was reported the Senate by
the Committee on Charitable-fisd Religious Associa
tions, and will be likely to become a law, taking im
mediate effect. • \
Six years since a lady at jjTortli Sandwich,. New
Hampshire, swallowed accidentally a needle. The
needle was a shoe needle, and a little over an inch
long. She was considerably alarmed at the time, but
not feeling any inconvenience Jfrora it, the circum
stance in time passed completely from her memory.
A few days since, however, she felt a pricking sensa
tion in her foot, and in the coutee of time the needle
was taken from the outer side Of her foot, near the
little toe joint—the wound soon healing without giving
her any trouble. ]
The English papers mention a dinner and dessert
service belonging to a right reverend bishop, which
cost $6O ,000. Such a “service” would have asto

fewer fishes.

The Asia, at New York, brings interesting.details
of foreign news. An interesting discussion of , the
Savoy question was had in the House of Commons
on the 2d ihst. Lord John Russell said, as far as he
knew, there was no treaty in existence between Franc e
and Sardinia providing for the annexation of Savoy.
As the Emperor Nlpoleon states that he will not pro.
ceed to the annexation without consulting the great
powers, Lord John believes that Franco will not at
tempt it, if the Powers are unanimously opposed
to it. The French Legislative Assembly opened on
the Ist. instant. The Emperor, in his speech to the
Assembly, expresses the most sincere desire for the
maintenance of peace; rijoices at the amicable rela
tions with all the European Powers, and hopes for a
speedy peace with Cochin China, and the just chas
tisement of the Chinese for their-perfidy. The Ein
peror also hopes that the Italian arcapproaeh-.
ing a settlement, anil says that he has advised the King
of Sardinia that Tuscany must tfot be annexed, but
that the wishes of the other Itili&n provinces maybe
entertained, provided the rights of- the Holy See are
respected in principle. The safety of the Freneh
frontiers, he adds, requires the annexation of Savoy,
and he hopes that frank explanations of the question
will cause the great powers to recognize the justice
of the claim. He professes astonishment at the agi
tation of the Catholic world, and points to his efforts
on behalf of the Pope. The French army has been
reduced by 150,000 men, ana wouia oe rurtner reduced
but for the Chinese war, and. the Italian occupation.
Heooncludes by referring to the new free-trade policy,
and predicting the most favorable results. The Em
peror’s speech is largely discussed by the London
journals—most of them condemn the policy of. the
Emperor. Lord Palmerston has received a memorial
from Irish Catholics, asking his influence in main
taining the integrity of the Papal dominions. The
English papers publish an appeal to the Christians
throughout the world, sigued by the • colored exiles
from Arkansas, who protest in the strongest possible
terms against the system-whicbdoqms them either to
banishment or slavery.,.. The accs*niis of the treaty

The Spaniards have met with a reverse in Morocco,
having been surprised and defeated m the neighbour
hood of Melilla. . The Spaniards were reported to have
lost in killed two hundred soldiers and five officers,
and about two hundred men wounded. M. Tbouvenel,
in a message to the French Ambassador at Turin, pro
poses the complete annexation of Parma and Modena
to Sardinia, the Vicarial government of Romagna in
the name of the Holy See, and the re-establishment
of Tuscany in her full integrity.
It appears that the steamer General Miramon, of
Marini’s Havana Expedition, has arrived at New Or
leans, as a United States prize, in charge of Lieute
nant Robert D. Minor, of the sloop-of-war Preble.
The prize left Vera Cruz on the 13th of March. The
particulars or grounds of her capture ore not an
nounced. It appears, however, that'the city of Vera
Cruz was besieged by Miramon on the sth of March,
and that he bad announced his intention of cannon
ading the city on the night of the seventh of this
month. The attack was made, but it was repulsed
by the Liberals. ■ The only other item of information
is that the Preble would on the ‘l4tfiyinstant sail for
New Orleans, probably Fe
deral Administration. . -
A still later despatch Bays that the steamer Mar
quez, another vessel of the Havana expedition, is be
low New Orleans as a prize, in charge of Lieutenant
Chapman, of the sloop-of-war Saratoga, which cap
tured, also, the General Miramon. Both vessels were
taken off Anton Lizardo, on the- Oth instant, after a
brief action and with a slight loss of life. The Mar
quez has some of the prisoners on board, and the re
mainder will be brought by the Preble. Lieutenant
Chapman is bearer of despatches to Washington.
The Exequatur of the American Consul has been re
voked. Miramon, it is said, holds Alvarado, while
the Liberals have surrounded the city of Mexico.
The conduct of the American squadron has caused
great excitement at Vera Cruz. ; The French and
Spanish residents bitterly denounce it..
Governor Stewart has vetoed the bill expelling free
negroes from Missouri. This is'kSStantially the
same bill that was vetoed by the Governor at the last
session of the Missouri Legislature.

Poetasters, —'the editors of the Protestant Church
man and the New York Observer, are comparing notes
on their early efforts at making poetry. Their object
seems to be to convince that very large proportion of
the contributors to every paper who write poetry, that
real merit in tßis line of composition is a thing more
difficult of attainment than many suppose; and to
suggest, we dare say, that a man may win a handle
to his name-withoot either poetical ability or emi
nence. The Churchman -editor says:
“ We never succeeded in making more than one
verse, and that verse, when made, cured us of the
ambition. If the vast multitudes of our poetizers
had allowed the same medicine to work its proper
effect, the world would not have been the loser.”
11. Bingiiah.
The editor of the Observer calls for that “one verse,”
and as an encouragement to his neighbor gives some
of his own experience: >
“When a mere, boy, a sister challenged us to.
wijte poetry, and it was agreed that one of us;should
write two lines, and the other follow with two more,
and so on, till the new poem was completed. With
trembling hand we took the pen and wrote:
She insisted that we should complete the verse so
auspicously begun, and after much contention we
were compelled to proceed to the end of the stanza,
when it read:
Once on a time my sis and I
Sat down to write some poetry,
But to and fro our idees fly
From vani tee to vanity.
From that day to this, some forty years, our idees
have taken the same direction whenever we have at
tempted.a similar enterprise.
Advertising Sermons.— The editor of the Chris
tian Intelligencer gives the following amusing and
somewhat striking incident:
“We had, on a recent visit to a village not very
far distant from this city, a somewhat novel and
striking exhibition of the manner in which the busi
ness of advertising sermons is viewed by those not
familiar with _city devices. It was in this wise:—
While conversing with a clerical friend, he suddenly
inquired, with a sympathetic expression of counte
nance, ‘How are the brethren in distress getting on
in New York?’ We, of course, desired an explana
tion of his question. He replied by saying, ‘ That
the people in the country were under the impression
that those clergymen in the city who were in the ha
bit of advertising the topics of their discourses every
Saturday morning were sadly distressed for the want
of regular hearers, and that they could not get on
well unless they threw out bait.’ ” -
Twenty Years an Editor— Dr. Stevens, of the
Advocate and Journal, after nearly twenty years of
editorial life, recently gave the following estimate of
probabilities in regard to communications being read.
Correspondents, whose two, three and four column
articles are slumbering in our pigeon-holes, will
please accept it as a full explanation of their non
appearance: “A communication which is a fourth
of a column long, is read by most readers, unless its
subject is manifestly repulsive; over half a column
long, is read by half our readers; a column long, by
a third of them; a two column article, by not one
tenth; a three or four column one, by nobody what
ever, except the wearied editor and his proof-reader,
and the few who may have a personal or very special
concern in the article.”
Signs of tlie Times — Dr. Camming, the famous
Scotch preacher of London, has recently stated in a
public lecture at Leeds, (England,) his opinions re
specting the great events which, according to his in
terpretation of the Book of Daniel and the Apocalypse,
are looming in the future. He said the year 1867
seemed tq. end 6,000 years Of the world's-history, afrd
from the earliest periods onward it had been the almost
universal belief that the six days of creation were
typical of the millennial re3t of those 6,000 years, and
that the seventh day of creation, or’the Sabbath, was
typical of the millennial rest of 1,000 years. But
they would say that, supposing this were so, they were
at this moment 140 years short of the 6 ,000 years. It
was a remarkable fact, however, that the ablest chro
♦ologists, irrespective of all prophetic theories, had
shown that a mistake of upwards of 100 years had
been made in calculating the chronology of the world;
and that the year 1860 of the Christian era began not
from the year 4004 of the world’s history, but in the
year 4138, and that the year of Christ’s birth was five
years before that, or in 4132. If his premises were
just, then they were at that moment within seven years
’of the exhaustion of the 6,000 years'; so that if 1867
were to be the termination of this economy, they had
arrived at the Saturday evening of the world’s long
and dreary week. If this were so, it was a magniff
cent thought that there were some in that assembly
who would never die. They were just plunging into
the days such as they had never before seen; a Euro
pean war was looming more dreadful than that th rough
which they had recently passed, and when these things
happened it would be seen that the sentiments he ut
tered were not the dreams of fanaticism, but the words
of soberness and truth.
The Atmosphere on Revivals— The Rev. Mr.
Edgar said in One of his discourses, that a London
Medical Journal had attributed the religious excite
ment in Ireland to the state of the atmosphere; said
the Dr.. “If such happy results as we have witnessed,
tlm reformation of great sinners, the breaking up of
whisky selling, the abandonment of profaneness and
Sabbath-breaking, are to follow the excitements, we
wish that the thermometer and barometer may con
tinue to stand as they do now.”
HOPKINS—KERR—Married on the Ist inst., by, the
.Rev. Charles Brown, Mr. James Hopkins to Miss Ha
rriet Kerr, all of Philadelphia.
McCANDLISH—PHELPS Married at Middleport, N.
Y., March Bth, by the Rev. O. C. Beardsley, Mr. ffm.
McCamllish and Miss Martha H. Phelps.
Died at Middleport, N. Y., February 10, Mr. John
Vannortwick, aged 48 years.
WYLIE.—Died, at Milton, Pennsylvania, onSabbatb,
26th February, after a lingering and painful illness, Mrs.
Sarah Murray W yi.ie, in the thirty-fourth year of her
wife of the Rev; W. T. Wylie of that place, and
eldest daughter of L. Johnson, Esq., of Philadelphia.
The truly consistent Christian character of the de
ceased must he the apology for a passing tribute to her
memory.
As a child, Sarah Murray Johnson-was somewhat re
markable. Of a buoyant, cheerful disposition, her bright
face, speaking ’eye, and merry, ringing laugh, rendered
her a universal favorite. Her home influences and edu
cation were such as to, impress truth on her mind, and
make it a prominent trait in her character in after life.
She was educated in Philadelphia by Professor Cleveland,
under whose judicious training her naturally strong
mental powers were developed. In' this Seminary
strong friendships were formed with persons of lovely
and decided Christian character, which proved the main
instrumentality in leading her to devote herself, at the
early-age of fourteen, to the service of her divine Sa
viour.. These friendships continued through life, and
were sources of high and holy enjoyment and improve
ment. Under the pastoral care and teaching of the Rev.
Albert Barnes, as well as in the Sabbath-School of the
First Presbyterian Church, her Christian character de
veloped rapidly, and attained a strength and maturity
quite unusual in one so young. She lived as well as
prqfessed Christianity, and her influence as a decided
follower of Jesus was felt in whatever circle she moved.
. As a daughter, love, obedience, and a ready appreci
ation of the duties growing out of this relation, were
eminently characteristic of her. As a sister, her loving
demeanor and consistent walk were powerful for good
among her numerous brothers and sisters; and the re
sults of her incessant; labfflr for their spiritual and intel
lectual warfare eternity alone can determine. As a wife
and mother, the qualities of her head and heart shone
out most conspicuously. Herself consecrated to the
Lord, she was ever ready to join her husband in every
work and labor of love to .which his office as a pastor
called him. The judicious traiuing of her children was
not neglected, even during the long and painful illness
which God called her to endure. Amid the pains of
the body, which at times were almost beyond human
endurance, she was never known to 'murmur or suffer
a hasty word to escape her lips.
. While she manifested, during her protracted suffer
ings, an entire resignation to the Divine will, her love
of life was strong and. vigorous. Surrounded by all
that was calculated to make life desirable and happy,
the warm affections which God had given her having-

S, bt , r l ov ® as , w ell as in a large and an affectionate
femily and circle of friends, she felt that it was a strug
jfi* glre UP “'!• Nevertheless, by the grace of God,
she was enabled to say, “ Thy will be done.” The fol
lowing extract of a letter written a few weeks before
her death, to one of her early school companions and
subject frieni S! wj!l dearly illustrate her feelings on this
February 16.—Another day, dearest, of remarkable
freedom from pain. My soul does magnify the Lord
tor the comfort of body and mind he vouchsafes to me.
„v. S m?J° at a time— not to ask, ‘ How long
shall this last? ‘How shall I bear thersuffering that
must come again ?’ ‘ When shall j-et come the last great
change—at the evening, or at the cock-crowing, or in
the morning?’ I hope grace ismakiiig me triumph, and
enabling me more and more to ‘ trust and not be afraid.'

only to be satisfied with, but to rejoice in bis will. Not
I, but grace that dwelleth in me. *' * « *
“There has been much conflict To stand on the
brink of that great, awful, unknown eternity—to part
with life, so full of love, and hope, and joy—my hus
band and my children, dearer than life; it seems to me
I was permitted to see and feel it ali while my mind was
clear and senses unimpaired; but in the greatest dark
ness the light of the Star of Bethlehem was not hid. And
now-that light* for the most part, seems to illumine
all. God manifest in the flesh,’ from the beginning to
the end of the Bible, from the beginning to the end of
every part of our souls, seems to supply and compre
hend all. And then, c As thou* Father, art in me, and
I m thee, that they also may be one in us,’ seems the
pledge, as it is the foretaste of heavenly intercourse and
communion between those who love Christ here. 59

into the ear of her loving parent, who was, in the good
pro vidence of God, watching by the bed-side of his suf

said—and they were her last words—« Love to all.”
She closed her eyes, and calmly.feU asleep in Jesus.
Thus has passed from earth one of the purest, bright

and practice which it has been the privilege of the
writer to know. Her example will live long .on the

: JAMES 0. DONNELL,
I DIED MARCH 11, 1860, JBt. 69.
“ Multis itte bonis JlebiUs occiiit,”
“By many good men wept—he died!”
. The world may well sorrow when a good man dies,
for he is a rarity. Of how few it is said, when the word
swiftly passes from friend to friend, « He is gone!”—as
was truly said of him whose name appears on this page,
“he was a good man!” Few as is their number over
whose grave the world reverently whispers this eulogy,
of none could it be more fittingly uttered, than of him
whose sudden decease has thrown a gloom over the
circle of friendship in which he moved—over the church
where his counsel and example were cherished-i-over
the community In which for forty years he has honestly
though unostentatiously passed his days. This is not
the place, nor the time, so soon after our loss to dwell
qn the gentle virtues of the dead. It would be but to
increase our selfish regrets for the absence of one, who
we are assurresl, now enjoys the blissful fruits of a well
spent life. But we cannot refrain from referring to the
high integrity, the stern conscientiousness, the liberal
spirit, the Christian charity, the gentle piety of the de
parted. To the young—and the writer grateful ly though
sorrowfully records this trait—he was ever kind, sympa
thizing and helpful, many such—some of them perhaps
now grown to manhood-mindful of his many kind
nesses, will drop a tear upon his grave. His death was
a fitting termination to his life. He laid down on the
Sabbath Eve, and calmly passed away>‘ Many friends
noticed a remarkable attention on his part to the dis
courses preached on that day in the ehurch.of which
from its origin he had been a member and officer—the
Calvary Church. And it Is affecting to remember that
Abe last sermon to which he listened was one in which
the firmness of the Christian’s hope, and the triumph of
the Christian’s faith were beautifully set forth. “ This
hope we have as an anchor of the soul sure and stead
fast” were the last words that quivered on the lips and
soothed the dying spirit of this Christian believer; and
we doubt not that this anchor on which he trusted
through life, was, broken bat to allow him to drift into
a haven of endless rest. j. jg. j
