Noon-Day Prayer-Meetings— -Bee. Mr. Dunning,
of Baltimore, was observed to be in the meeting on
Wednesday, and several persons called on him for a
word of exhortation, when he arose and said: "It
was not my purpose to say anything in this meeting,
but to sit still and listen, and enjoy the exercises.
It is trus; as you have 'doubtless fteqUentry heatd,
that we have a meeting similar to this in our oity.
On Friday next we are .to hold the second anniver
sary of the afternoon meeting which has been held in
my church. lam reminded by the card behind the
chairman's desk, that our meeting, as well as yours,
has come to be considered a Permanent Institution.
And it is not by any express resolution or determi
nation that we so consider it; but it became a per
manent matter in the minds and hearts of those who
attend it. The question is not now asked, as it was
during the first year, When shall these meetings
close? Whenever the meetings began to be rather
thinly attended, there were some who thought it was
time to close them; but it is not so now. We can’t
afford to spare these meetings. Their influence
through the city is felt in all the churches. It goes
back from the meetings into the various congrega
tions. In a quiet way, the members of the churches
come heoause they love to come,' and not because
they fear being notioed as not coming. We suppose
that those who stay away are just as conscientious as
those who come. They, no doubt, do their duty at
that hour elsewhere. Many so arrange it, however,
as to be there always. lam a minister, and have as
much as I can do every day, yet I get to the meet
ing every day, almost, if not For the whole hour, at
least for part of it.
As to the influence of these meetings, we know it
to be felt on the country around us. You here don’t
know the influence your meetings exert upon us and
upon thousands throughout the land. Country peo
ple, when they come to Baltimore, are sure, many of
them, to find their way to our meetings, and thus an
influence for good goes far and wide. The very
thought, too, that the meetings are going on daily,
lias a tendency to invigorate Christians all through
the city. Much good has been done by the meetings,
much to a certain class of our people who never go
to church. .
“ Pray for it, brethren 5 -we are with you in heart,
in effort, and in prayer—and I need not tell you we
often pray for you.”
The Presbytery of Northern Missouri held its
1 semi-annual meeting in the Presbyterian Ohureh, in
Newark, Knox co., April 27, 1860. Rev. James A.
! Darrah, of the West Ely Ohutqb,,was'chosen Mod*,
r rator, and Mr. Harvey J. Mann, of the New Provi
dence Churoh, was chosen temporary clerk. Rev. T.
Hill, of St. Louis, was present as a corresponding
member; nndhis prudent counsel and efficient la
bors, contributed much to the interest and sueoess of
i- the meeting. Kevi J. L.Jones, front the Presbytery
|of Rochester, and Rev. J. J. Wilson, from' the Pres
bytery of Logansport, 0. S., were received l>y certifi
t cate as members of this body. Rev. W.W. Whipple
f and elder James Porter were appointed commission
ers to the General Assembly, and Rev. J. A. Darrah,
and H. J. Mann, alternates. There was a full at
tendance at the meeting of Presbytery,' every ohureh
in. our connexion being represented by its minister
and elder.
Perfect harmony pervailed, and all the brethren
felt much strengthened and encouraged.
In the free conversation on the state of religion
within our bounds, many interesting and important
facts were elicited, indicating progress and stability.
A revival of religion of some interest has occurred
in the church of Newark,, and-in the Providence
churoh there are indications of great prosperity.
In several of the congregations new impulse has
been given to the cause of temperance. Bible classes,
Sabbath Schools, and prayer meetings are well sus
tained, and our relations to other.. denominations,
around us, are fraternal and satisfactory. ‘ ;
There is immense territory around us which is yet,
to a great extent, unoccupied by our own or any kin
dred denomination. More laborers are needed to
eome and possess the land. Unfortunately debarred
from the 00-operation of the American Home Mis
sionary Society, by whose fostering care we were
formerly nourished, and were rapidly growing into a
vigorous and self-sustaining manhood, we now look
with confidence and hope to, our own institutions, and
the brethren of our own denomination, to afford us
the means of oontinuance and-enlargement. i
This Presbytery feels much indebted to the South
ern Aid Sooiety for assistance rendered to some of
CLUBS.
our congregations during the present and past years.
At the recent meeting of Presbytery,- a vote of thanks
was pasted for the seasonable help received from that
excellent society.
Auburn Theological Seminary.— An arrange
ment, it is presumed, will be undoubtedly consum
mated by which the “Hyde legacy," as it is called,
amounting, with to more than twelve thou
sand dollars, will be paid at once to Auburn Theolo
gical Seminary, This sum, together with a subscrip
tion obtained during the past year through the agency
of Rev. F. Starr, Jr., will bring up the endowment of
the four Professorships to somewhat more than one
hundred thousand dollars. It is creditable alike to
the Seminary and to the community in the midst of
which it is planted, that twenty thousand dollars of
the subscription was made in the city of Auburn.
S. Willard, M. D., and Theodore Case gave ten thou
sand dollars; ffm.E, Dodge, Esq., of the city of New
York, gave five'thousand dollars, with the request
that four thousand dollars might he applied to the
payment of subscriptions to that amount, made by
the four Professors. This was a most considerate as
well as generous act, arid is worthy of being noticed
and remembered. The seal of professors arid pas
tors often impels them to pecuniary pledges to the
institutions and ohurohes which they serve, which
they cannot redeem without oppressing: themselves
and their families. .
Besides the $lOO,OOO -for Professorships, the Semi
nary holds about $25,000, called the Scholarship
Fund, the income of which is appropriated, to those
of its-students who need it: Its library is worth
$lO,OOO and its buildings and-grounds $30,000. It
is hoped-itiaV lthef&l friends lse s’oorifound who
will furnish money to increase the Scholarship Fund,
to enlarge the library, to provide for contingent ex
penses, and .to put ups wing which was contemplated
in the : plan for-the main building and which will: he
needed for the accommodation of students as'they
multiply. More than fifty were in attendance during
the term just closed, and never was a company of
students more zealously and.happily engaged. All
the Professors arc deservedly loved, as well as re
spected and admired. They tyke a paternal interest
in the young men, and maintain a free and-familiar
intercourse with them, and it is believed that nowhere
are greater advantages and a pleasanter situation.of
fered to candidates for the ministry. —Utica Morning

Schuyler Presbytery, April 24th, 1860, unani
mously adopted a paper - containing a statement and
concluding with the following sentences:
. .In view of the action of the Home Missionary So
ciety in this, and 1 in' other cases, it appears dear to
itythat further co-operation is impossible, and that
it is the immediate and imperative duty of our
ohiirchMs to provide' for their ‘own' destitutions.-
We deem it also a serious question, demanding the
consideration of our Eastern-Brethren, how long
they shall- give money to be used as a power to op
pressed distract our feeble churches, and to assail,
through, a nominally oharitahle and common organ,
the; position- and views of the great body of the Pres

Anniversaries? in New York City.— Last week
was anniversary week in pur sister city. The exer
cises were as interesting arid the audiences as nume
rous as ever. As a sort'of introductory to these ser
vices, annual sermons are preached before these so
cieties on the Sabbath preceding.
Rev. Dr. Fisher, President of Hamilton College,
delivered the annual discourse before the Society of
Inquiry of Union Theological Seminary, In the Four
teenth street Presbyterian Church. His discourse
was a very able one.
The anniversary sermon before the New York Bi
ble Society was preached in the Madison Square
Presbyterian Church, by Rev. T. S. Hastings, from
1. Sam. iv. 13. . .
The annual sermon of the American and Foreign
Christian Union was preached at the, Tabernacle
Church, in Sixth Avenue, by the Rev. W. Hague,
D, D. : :V \
The annual sermon before the American Seamen's
Fripiid Society was preached in Dr. Sfcorrs'church,
Brooklyn, by Rev. Dr. Walter Clarke, of the Mercer
street church. Histext was Isaiah lx. 5.
The Sabbath School of the Western Presbyte
rian Church (Rev. Dr. Smith’s) of this city, held
their 25th anniversary last evening. There was a
large attendance of the children, and the congrega
tion was well represented. The orphans of the Phila
delphia Orphans’ Asylum were present, and'sang
one of their beautiful hymns. Very interesting ad
dresses were delivered by Rev. E. J. Pearce, returned
missionary from Africa, and Mr. J. Wanamaker,
Secretary Y. M. C. A. The report of the superin
tendent was encouraging, and quite interesting. Tho
school is by no means a large one, 211 being the en
tire roll, scholars, teachers and infant school included.
Yet the amount of money appropriated by the school
during the year.was as follows:
To A. B. C. F. M., for Syria, $75
To Church Extension Fund, for Mo 50

Showing what can be accomplished by a constant,
persistent effort amongst the children of our Sabbath
schools,-when they are rightly aroused on behalf of
missions.
Union Temporary Home for Children—The
fourth anniversary of this institution was celebrated
on the 10th inst., at the “Home,” corner of 16th and
Poplar Streets.
The Hon.: Richard Vaux, the President of the So
ciety, occupied the chair, and made the opening ad
dress.
Prayer was offered by the Rev. Charles Brown,
who also gave an abstract of the annual report.
The Rev. Dr. Wallace followed with an excellent
address, showing the importance of the institution,
and the happy results frequently attending the la
bors of those who aimed to improve the condition of
children in indigent circumstances. The Dr. illus
trated his positions by several encouraging examples,
drawn from history, of eminent men, who, by a pro
per course of early training, rose from the humble
walks of life to high places of honor and usefulness.
Particular reference was made to the Scripture war
rant for such efforts to bo made in behalf of. the
young.
The “Home”.is in a prosperous condition. Sixty
eight children were well provided for during the past
year. The inmates have enjoyed good health ;'no
death has occurred among them for the last two years.
About five thousand dollars were raised towards the
building fund since the last annual meeting.
The General Conference of the M- E. Chnrch,
commenced its Sessions on Tuesday, the Ist of May,
in the city of Buffalo.
Questions of great importance are before th‘e body,
involving the essential principles of Methodism, as a
form of church polity and questions of morals, such as
slavery, on which there exists a wide diversity of views
and feelings in the body. Committees have been ap
pointed on these topics.
Much interest was exhibited in the selection of a
chairman For the slavery committee, and the vote was
taken by ballot, instead of by “count,” as was done in
the qther committees. Dr. Kingsley was elected by a
large majority. '
; In regard to Dr. Kingsley, the correspondent of the
Philadelphia Inquirer says, that during the session of
the-Erie annual conference, he moved to amend the
discipline, so as to render the following an offence,
viz.“ The buying, selling, holding, or transferring
of any human being to be held in slavery.” The
present discipline as it stands prohibits only the buy
ing arid selling of men, women, and children, with an
intention to enslave them.”
Anojjher paper gives the composition of the Com
mittee as 26 “progressive” and 20 “conservative”
men. ;
The footing np of the account of the Booh Concern,
after deducting 33} per cent of the does as bad debts,
shows a balance in its fovour of $540,721.80. Of the
assets about $220,000 -in cash and book accounts, and
$140,000 saleable stock; while $350,000 lies in Real
Estate, Presses, Type, and materials.
In the quadrennial address of the Bishops the in
crease of members during the last four years was
stated at 174,912 members, and 1,160 ministers, tbe
present membership in the Methodist Episcopal Church
being 974,345. r.
Upon the point of Lay Delegation the address thinks
that there might be such delegation in the General
•Conference,'in the formation of a second house: com
posed entirely of laymen, and wheise power and
function was indicated in the expression of the address
“ that no rule should be enacted without the concur
rence of both houses.”
The address takes ground against any alteration in
the rules on slavery.
The policyof a Committee of Appeals, inaugurated
at the last General Conference, has been.earried a step
or two farther by.making it a standing Committee^ .and
by constituting it as follows:
The Committee shall consist of one member from
each Annual Conference, to be nominated by the de
legates from each Conference. The appellant shall
have power to challenge for cause, and the committee
shall have power to excuse for cause only, so that two
thirds of the members shall remain to try the respective
'' cases. r '-
• By an amendment it was decided that appeals should
he entertained at once by the Committee without
coining before the Conference. ) ;
A proposal to send a delegate to the assembly at
Rochester was rejected; on the ground that the Con
ference has no right to vacate the seat of any of its
members.
The number of petitions in favour of (Ranging the
rule on slavery is far greater than of those desiring no
change to be made. -
The correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer says:
' We may here remark, that the proceedings of'the
Conference frequently became very much embarrassed,
in consequence of a want of regard for strict par
liamentary rules. Resolutions are sometimes debated
before they have been properly presented—amendments
and substitutes are- offered' without number; until the
original resol ntion is scarcely discernablc, and motions
are entertained which seriously interfere with the
legitimate order of business, The action of the body
has already beeu rescinded in some half dozen in
stances.. . .
Phila. Orphan Asylum.— This is among our old
est charitable institutions, having celebrated its 45th
anniversary on Tuesday, May Bth, at the Ist Church,
Washington Square. Its buildings are at the corner
of Eighteenth and Cherry sts.
The teachers are. Presbyterian, but tbe institution
is not of a sectarian, character. There are eighty
children in the Asylum, and its annual expenses are
about six thousand dollars. These are generally
met by its ample endowment. But ono death oc
curred among the children during the preseut
FOREIGN.
The Waldenses. —ltwilbrejoice the heart of many
of your readers to hear that’Aha Lord has begun to
visit the Waldensian with “times of refresh
ing from on high.” In ttemonth of December last,
“The Table” addressed a letter to all the pastors,
giving some account of the (revival in America, Ire
land, and Scotland, and cntjjeating-them to give dili
gence in prayer, and to direct the attention of their
people to the subject. Thattappeal has been well at
tended to, and in many of tqe:parishes a remarkable
religious awakening has begim. The elders have bo
gun to hold prayer-meetingb in their districts, and
the places of meeting are'jjerowded to suffocation.
Surely this is a token for good from the Lord towards
the ancient evangelical churifi of Italy in such a crisis
os the present. Let her friendh be much in prayer
for her. '/
