"To illustrate the frequency of changes in the pas
toral office, the pc, stated the:following very striking
facts; in twenty-three years of his residence in Lock
port, no less firtm seventy-five different ministers have
come to settle in the place. Not one minister beside
himself bad been there over three years. The Luther
an Church bas had seven pastors in twee ty-two yeard.
The average length of pastorates in the place bad been
nine months! In this estimate it is true the .Metho
dist Church, with its changes once in two' Years, is
included. Dr. Wisner's eighteen years over thelst
Church, are , the longest pastorate but onein all West
ern New York; thelongest but three in all the State,
outside of Albany, Troy, and New York, city., _
"When Mr. Wisner commenced preaching,:pihis
present charge in May, 1842, it was a church of about
'2OO-members; it nuir has 440,n0t counting,absentees.
The church edifice was then small, and about 'two , '
thirds filled in fair Sabbaths; a large and beautiful
atone edifice- luta- recently been erected, is , paid: for,
and thncongregation has more than increased in like
proportion. The church has been blessed with fre

members having been received at an early_day, at one

" In otherbodies we see the poirer of ecelesiastk

EPISCOPAL.
A Bid Practice Consured.—The Bishop of Te.u7
neisee strongly censures, in his annual address, the
practice of incurring pecuniary liabilities while build
ing churches, without any reasonable expectation of
meeting them 'when' due.
The case in point is that of the church- at Coving
tn:
The °bureh of which the foundation Was laid in
August, 1858, is 2 not yet finished, and. I was pained
let v 4 th 4 in Consequence of nome•misunderstand
ing with the contractor or builder, there was a debt
incurred for which no provision had been made, or
was likely to be made. In consqquence.thebuilding
was liable to be sohL
I am not informed that any arrangement bas yet
been made to relieve the building and secure it for
the purposes - for which it was intended. These re
peated disasters in, attempting to'build churches are
well calculated to Bring discredit upon our commu
nion.
It is surprising that persons,can be found to engage
in such enterprises, call upon the friftnds of religion
to contribute money for their prosecution, and then
stand tp,meiy by and see the whole work involved in
irretrievable ruin, witt:Mt seeming to realize that
they themselves share, by the judgment of the public,.
in the disgrace of such failures. '
It is surely betty not to, begin to build until the
means are provided and secured to finish,--and cer
tainly no man who regards a good repute among his
-fellow men ought to take it upon himself to make
contracts• in behalf of the church, unless he is pre
pared' to give attention to the work, and see it faith
fully executed. . •

this year-
From accounts I had read of former rinetlngs, I
had been led to look for something stormy in- its ,
pro
ceedings. In this I was most agreeably disappointed.'
There were-some sharp passages among its members,
but not unpleasant, and not, as they appeared to me,
from any unkindfeeling.
The general_ tenor of its proceedings was that of
earnest devotion to the proper work of the church as
represented in its various enterprisgs of Home Misl
aims; Colonial and Continental Missions, - Roman
Catholic -Missions, Jewish Missions, Foreign Mis
sions; tte.
The matter which appeared to excite roost feeling,
so far as I witnessed, was the election of a successor
to the'late Dr.:Wilson. in the chair of Biblical Lite:
rature and Criticism in , the Theological Seminary,
There were seven or eight candidates, some of whom
had very warm friends, who made for their favorites
some very warm speeches.
The choice fell on Rev. D. L. Porter, late mission.
ary to Damascus, and colleague of our missionaries
there. I had the.pleasure, of making his acqUain.t.
ance, and receiving from him the most flattering an:
counts of the character of our missionaries and of the
work, they are doing at Damascus.
I am very , much mistaken if the Assembly hats.,riot

will be represented by Count Pourtalis.
Paris, Thursday Night.--Prussia has demanded
that the stay of European troops in Syria shall be

Without any. suspicion cf=tiotple, the procession
moved for the, place of burial. -Suddenly a mob of
the lowest class of Armenians rushed upon'them with
loud yells and fierce threats, de4ririg that no Pro
tistant should be buried in thaeground.
The small police`force at hand Ycould not quell the
riot, and it was at length decido to send a messen

with a large police force and, an order from the pa
triarch (the head of the Armenian.. church in Con-.
stantinople) for the immediate hitrial of the man in

burial, and drove off the officer dthe 'patriarch, beat-'

mob increased, and the police took poiiession of the

the extent of the mob and the protestations of the,
patriarch, who now changed bis ground and, sided
with the Mob, that they revoked the order of the 'day
before, and Ordered' that the body should be interred
elsewhere.
At this juncture, Sir 'Henry •Bulwer, the • English
ambassador, and Hon. James Williams, our minister

any one, they iminediately - came to Constantinople,
called upon the Armenian patriarch, and - dethanded•
that he should give his consent to the burial in the
burial ground immediately. Under the influence of
these gentlemen he consented. :they also went to the
Porte, and insisted there that a, proper military force
should be sent inimediately to the ground and the Pre
testant honorably buried. Here, too, they prevailed.
This Was Tuesday 'afternoon': A force' sent,

press forward to the spot. At this. juncture Riza
Pasha's. courage, seemed to fail him, and he ordered.
the grave filled up and another one dug,in the middle.
of, a neighboring carriage road. In..this most
honorable place the Protestants, as previously advised
by the ambassadors ; and missionaries, refused to bury
their dead.. The Pasha would not yield, and`the Pro
testants retired, leaving the body in' the hands orthe
Turks. By this time it.was buried inthe street, after
which the immense mob were allowed to rush over the
grave, each one trampling and spitting upon . it.
After this,- by way of palliating his disgraceful Con
duct, the pasha ordered thatthe toad should'be turned,
aside and obliterated, and a space enclosed around the
grave. This was done, and 'it has ever since been
guarded by a company of soldWa. ,
- The'result might ,easily havebeen foretold. Amob
has driven the Protestants--sinte the trial last Wednes
day—from their •homes, not. onlyin- Ballat,sbut also
from Samaria and Hasskney, two.nther quarters:of
Constantinople. In both--Ballet , and- Samaria , Pro
testant worship has been suspended by the Zabtieh
Pasha, to prevent outbreaks.
In 'view of this state of things, on Friday last a
meeting was held at the English Frilis of all the Pro
testant ambassadors: They sent a most earnest and
decisive protest to the Porte, and made important de
mands, which

On Saturday last, the American residents her&re-

THE SUNDAY-SCHOOL TINES.
THIS is a Weekly Religious Paper, published by the
AMERICAN SUNDAY-SCHOOL UNION, at the very low
price of
It is designed for PARENTS, TEACHERS, and all who are
engaged or interested in the religious training of the
young. It is also an excellent FAMILY PAPER.
A portion of the Sunday-School Times is occupied with
NARRATIVES and other matter partioularlyinteresting
to young persons. Teachers will find in it much that
they wilt like to read to their classes,—interesting mat
ter prepared to their hands and such as they cannot find
elsewhere. For the sameseason, members of the Bible
classes, and the older scholar; generally, will be greatly
benefited by the perusal of this paper.
The Sunday-School Times has, every week, a column
or more of the choicest matter selected from the
NOON PRAYER MEETINGS,
which are so interesting to all classes of Christians.
Besides, a large amount of general religious intelli
gence, the Sunday-School Times contains all the recent
Sunday-school news. It reports all the important CON
VENTIONS of Sunday-school teachers. it discusses
the questions which most interest and perplex teachers
and parents, respecting the various methods of reli
gious training for the young, the means of gaining the
attention and the affections of children, and especially
of securing their conversion and bringing them to Christ.
The subject of MISSION-SCHOOLS for cities and of
Sunday-school missionary work for the interior, is tho
roughly canvassed. Indeed, there is hardly a topic of
practical importance to any who are interested in the
subject of religious ed twatliazi, Which is not here brought
under consideration from week to week. No teacher,
no parent, should. be without it.
The Sunday -School Times has been the direct, means,
without any other ageney, of establishing Sunday
schools in neighborhoods where none existed before,
and of giving lifelo other - sehoolawhich were languish
ing. "It the testimony of htmdreds =of superintendents,
that they have found their schools reviving frovi the time
that this paper l began to circulate' among their teachers and
in the families of,lheir Oengregation.
RELIGIOUS CONTROVERSY
. ,
Is entirely excluded from this paper. The Sunday-School
Times &les not, even reply to its own assailants. Its
only, answer to attacks, is to labor more industriously
tderbake"a paper, which shall be worthy of the patron
age of warm-hearted, 'working ChriStiana; anti whiih
shall breathe throughout the spirit or ineeknessand love.
The conductors of this paper endeavor to remember,
that the great end of alI Christian effort is to bring men
to Christ. They aim, accordingly, to put into.-every
naMber of the paper something which shall have for its
direct object the conversion of souls. Large-hearted
Christians, Who are seeking the means of doing good,
would, it is believed, do an important service, and per
haps he, the means of many conversions, by subscribing
for copies of 'this paper for younger persons of their
acquaintance. Men.largely engaged in manufacturei
might thus confer a lasting benefit upon their appren
tices or workmen.
