discourse for the times, by the . Rev. S. J.
Moore, Ballymena, Ireland.
This spirit•stirring sermon preached before
the Synod of Ballymena and Coleraine, by the
pastor of the Church, which was the birth-place
of the great Irish Revival, we are glad to learn,

mail.
THE PRESBYTERIAN HISTORIOAL
SOOIETY.
The Executive Committee of this society met
on Tuesday, thd 18th inst., at the Presbyterian
Board of Education Rooms, 821 Chestnut street.
Rev, J. T. Cooper, D. D. was called to the chair,
-and Rev. G. Duffield, dr., opened the meeting
with prayer.
Samuel Agnew, Esq., from a committee to me
morialize the different supreme church judicatories
represented in this society on behalf d its in
terests, reported that the service had been attended
to, and that now all the ecclesiastical bodies repre-
Bent 4 have given their cordial approbation to the
society.
Rev. Dr. Nevin, having drawn up a paper in
reference to the decease of Rev. Dr. Van Ren
*seiner, it was unanimously adopted, as follows:
Whereas in an all-wise Providence the Rev. Con-
LAND VAN RENSSELAER, D. D., has been removed
by death from his place among us as the Chair
man of the Executive Committee of the Presby
terian Historical Society:
Peadved, 1. That whilst we bow with submis
sion to the dispensation which has bereft us of the
company, counsel and co-operation of our • beloved
brother, we also esteem it our privilege, sad though
it be, to record our deep sense of the great loss
which we have sustained by, his demise.
Resolved, 2. That in our intercourse with Dr.
Van Rensselaq, our appreciation of him was con
stantly increased as a gentleman, a Christian, a
minister of Christ, and a friend of that important
Interest of the church with which we are intrusted,
sand that we shall ever warmly and gratefully
cherish his memory.
The Recording Secretary presented the follow
ing, which was also adopted, in reference to the
death of the Rev. Thos. H. Beveridge:
Whereas it has pleased God in his holy provi
dence, to remove from our midst, by death, the
Rev. Thomas H. BEVERIDGE, a member of the
Presbyterian Historical Society, and of this Ex
ecutive Committee, and whereas it is felt to
be a grateful, though melancholy duty, to give
some expression of the sense of loss which has
been sustained,—therefore
Resolved, That this Committee have heard with
deep and painful emotions of the sad event that
has *conned, and that we deeply feel that a be
loved brother, a faithful minister, and a most
estimable Christian friend, has been called from
our companionship and work, to enter into, rest.
Resolved, That' we gratefully record the fact of
his having been for some time an active and effi
cient 00-laborer with us on behalf of the interests
of this society—and that he was most useful in
43 °Beating and placing in the Library, rare books,
manuscripts, and historical relics of a very desi
rable character, and in bringing this society before
the judicatories of the church with which he was
connected.
Resolved, That this death and that of our late '
and lamented Chairman, Rev. Dr. Van Rensselaer,
solemnly remind us of our mortality, and of the
duty of doing with our might what our hands find
to do on behalf of this society, and of all the in
terests of the cause of our Divine King and Lord.
It was'also resolved that a copy of these papers
should be sent to each of the families of the la
mented deceased, respectively, as an , expression of
condolence with them in their heavy affliction.
Mr. Samuel Agnew, the Librarian, reported,
that the Library had been enriched by the follow
ing liberal donations since the last meeting, land

New Church Edifice at Erie.—The Erie Gazette

Delaware city, Nov. 28th, 1860.--After a length
ened vacancy in the Presbyterian church here, caused
by the departure of the Rev. James Morton, a man
of highly superior ability, the congregation has at
length given a unanimous call to the Rev. Mr. Gay
lord, of Port Penn, with the intention of uniting De
laware city and Port Penn into one charge, as was
the case some years ago. Mr. Gaylord has already
done excellent service in our neighborhood, having
raised a large part of the funds by which the two fine
church edifices at Port Penn and at Odessa were
erected. Such a minister is invaluable, and it is gra
tifying to see, that his services are appreciated: so
,much sp,,iudeed, that we are in, some fear, lest we may
not get him here, for at this very moment he has re
ceived another call from .Middletown and Odessa.—
Let other clergymen take notice—an infallible recipe
for obtaining two calls in one week, is to rear two
good churches.— Cor. Del. State Journal.
A New Church on Murray Hill.—The N. Y
Evangelist of. Nov. 29th, says:
In an other column will be found a notice of- a re
ligions service at the chapel of the Home of the.
Friendless (in Twenty-ninth street, near • Madison
avenue,) to be conducted by Rev. George L. Prentiss,
D. D. This is in connection with 6, project long since
entertained, of forming a new church under his pas
toral care. Such a church is required by the rapid
increase of the population in that part, of our city,
and also to meet the demands of our own denomina
tion. Many of Dr. , Prentiss's old friends, and other
families residing-in the upper part of thd city, rally
cordially around him in this new undertaking.
Gospel to the litasses.—A service of very unusual
interest took plaCe on. Sabbath evening, - Nov. 25th,
on the occasion of the ordination of the Rev. C. H.
Payson as an Evangelist by the Fourth Presbytery
of New York. It was his formal introduction to his
new field of labor in connection with the Mission work
of the Madison Square Presbyterian Church.
13th Street Church, N. Y.—Sabbath 'evening,
18th Nov., was the anniversary occasion of the. Thir
teenth street Presbyterian Sabbath-school Missionary
Association, (the Rev. Dr. Burchard's.) The evening
was unpropitious, yet the house was crowded. The
principal address of the evening was made by the
Rev. Dr. Westbrook, your secretary of milestone.
The contributions of the society for the year pitst,
exceed $7OO, the most of which has enteredlthe:trea
sury of the American Sunday School Union. They
have sustained a missionary in Wisconsin, have given
to needy schools there upwards of 1,500 volumes, of
your valuable publications, and have distribu'ted
13,000 " Sunday School Banners." This is what J
call a large work. But they are not weary in well
doing. For, on the spot, besides the support of a
missionary for the year to come, they took up pledges
for thirty-two libraries of ten dollars each, making
three hundred and twenty dollars.
This school is one of our largest and most active,
and the missionary association sustains in every way
the reputation of the school. The superintendent,
Geo. W. Beale, Esq., and the president of the associ
ation, R, P. Clark, Esq., are among our most zealous
laborers in the Sabbath-school cause, and are warm
friends of the. American Sunday School Union.S.

Synod of Alta California.—The . Committee on
Narrative of Religion presented the following re
port:
Your committee on the narrative of the state of re
ligion in our churches, rejoice to report that the in
creased favor of God has rested upon them during
the past year. The number of our ministers is un
broken by death. Every brother stands at the post
which he occupied one year ago. Four efficient co
laborers have been added to our baq. One absent
from the State at our last meeting his rejoined us,
ready to resume his work. In the way of church
building,
enlarging and repairing, we have never had
so much to report in any former year. Five new
churches have been erected and others repaired at an
expense of nearly $50,000. Nearly all our congre
gations are free from debt. None are weighed down
with the burdens of this kind, which have formerly
been so heavy upon many of them. Three , new
churches have been organized in our connection with
good prospects of suoeess. Our membership is grow
ing in numbers. The increasing spirit of prayer and
self-denying labor gives indication also of a growing
spirituality. Our Sabbath,sehools are prospering,
and send Ili a'cheering word or enlarged action and
usefulness. The perilled welfare of the young, in our
State, is awakening more and more the attention of
our people. The signs of good to come are many,
and light up somewhat the darkness that once hung
over our future.
Nevertheless, we can see great reason for humbling
ourselves before God; yea, to proclaim allist and
bow down the knee and the heart in prayer that God
will mercifully forgive, and not let our short-comings
of the past stay His blessings:
Rev. T. E. Taylor, for several years Seamen's
Chaplain at the Sandwich Islands, who came. to this
country for his health, stopped at California on his
return to the Islands, and has taken charge of the
Presbyterian church at Columbia, California, for the
year. The Pacific says:. "Mr. Taylor's health is
much improved, and finds that the mountain air where
he is, is - what he has been in search of for years. His
family will join him as soon as they can arrive here
from the Islands."
'OTHER BRANCHES OF THE PRESBYTE-
BRIAN CHURCH
Sudden Death of Dr. John T. Edgar.—The tele
graph, on Tuesday morning, brought us the sad in
telligence of the sudden 'death, an hour previous, from
apoplexy, of the Rev. Dr. Edgar, of Nashville.
Dr. Eder went to Princeton, N. J., soon after the
organization of the Theological Seminary by
,the Ge
,nerstAssembly, and was among the earliest gradu
ates of that institution: We know that he has been
in Nashville' for more than , twenty years, probably
for a quarter of a eentury, and that the Presbyterian
church;-in-that city, is indebted, in large part, to his
indefatigable labors for its present prosperous con
dition,
In 1842 he .was elected Moderator of the General
Assembly, and presided with great dignity and cre
dit to himself over that large body. He was offered
a chaii in the Danville Theological Seminary after its
establishment, but promptly declined an election to
it by . the Assembly.
In 7ounger-days he was almost a perfect model
of elocution. His handsome person, clear, sweet,
full voice, and winning manners, attracted crowds to
listen to him wherever he preached. No house was
large enough to contain the people which flicked to
hear" him whim he went-abroad among the churches
of Kentucky. His preaching was evangelical and
practical, and often melted his, hearers to tears. He
was especiallY gifted in -prayer, and when, as a pas
tor, ho was called to the bedsides of the sick and dy
ing, or into the charnbers of affliction and sorrow,
he was unequalled - by any minister of our acquainti
ante.—Presbyteriun Herald.

Extracts from the narrative of the German Re
formed Synod, which met in October, at. Lebanon:
We could almost say, that our church is in the
main a unit. We would not, indeed, hide the fact'
•that there are among' ue varying shades of opinion
and diversities of practice. 13ut we are not 'certain
whether this is
.a fact that needs to be, hidden; or a
state that we should be ashamed of. The garden of
our Lord has room for an infinite variety of flowers.
Whether they be beautiful without fragrance, or fra
grant without'beauty ; whether they be gorgeous to
demand our admiration, or simple and unpretending
to win our love, let us suffer them to grow side by
side of each other, a beautiful sisterhood of Christian
graces and perfections; only taking care by our sy
qiodical actions that excesses be avoided, and that
;the one usurp not the place of the other; that so the
beautiful world of grace created by God in Christ
. Jesus"be not marred by distortions, monstrosities or
defects. To accomplish this phrpose more and more,
let us still further cultivate that lovely spirit, which
has been exemplified among us so often and so gene
rally : the spirit of charity, forbearance and courte
sy. Let ..us deeply feel it and declare it: we are
brethren.
The reports speak much of the baptism of children,
of the high estimation in which 'it is held, and the
almost universal habit of .employing it for the intro
duction of our infants into the church. But they do
not speak of it as a magical, form; which, once.pro
flounced, will save its subject whether willing or un
willing, whether subsequent-conditions be favorable
-or adverse. It is indeed the signland seal.„of divine
,graes; but this grace must be - foriyaratt4 td its end
by means and instrumentalities which are the same
character_in with itself, or 'all will bejostAt last. If
it does ingait the, germ of order
~ of life,
'this-germ inuat be carefully guwrded, fostee'd — and
nurtured; that so it may become a tree, and the tree
bring forth fruit .to the glory of God and his Christ.
For this reason the reports insist so unanimously
upon parental training.
GENERAL.
Anniversary o 4 the Noon-Day Prayer Meet
ing.—The third anniversary of the Noonday Business
Men's Union Prayer Meeting was duly observed at.
the Sansom Street Baptist church, Sansom Street,
below Ninth, on Friday, the 23d ult., at 12 o'clock.
The chair, on this occasion, was, by appointment,
occupied by the Rev. Albert Barnes, who at the
appointed hour engaged in' prayer, and gave out the
hymn, commencing,
"Come, we who love the. Lord,
And let our pys be known."
After singing, by request of the chairman, the Rev.
John Chambers led the congregation in, prayer, fol
lowing which a portion of Scripture was read by Dr.
Barnes, ,and commented upon in connexion with the
history of this meeting. It was three years, to-day,
he said, since the beginning of these meetings. The
growth of them had been as remarkable as their con
tinuance ever since has been marvellous, kept up, as
they had been, during all this interval, and at all
seasons. There were some present, he believed, who
had scarcely missed a meeting since their commence
ment, and, although he , himself had been prevented
from attending them frequently, yet it was to him a
source of great gratification to think that these meet
ings had been eo faithfully kept up by others, as a
place where Christians could meet in union upon the
fundamental principles upon which they are agreed,
and, for the time being, forget the things in which
they honestly differ.
The congregation again united in singing a hymn,
after which the meeting was thrown open for prayer
and exhortation, the three- minute rule being strictly
oliseived.,
In the course of remarks subsequently made—by
ministers principally, it was said by one that in the
year 1795, in the city of New York, a movement bad
been started among Christians of every name for the
purpose of holding a Union Prayer Meeting on the
first Tuesday in January, to be continued at inter
vals of three months; a historical fact not generally
known.
George H. Stuart, Esq., paid a handsome tribute
to Mr. John Bliss, the young man who was the ori
ginal mover in these meetings in. Philadelphia, at the
Methodist Episcopal Church, in Fourth street, below
Arch, on the 23d of. November, 1858. Mr. Stuart
also read a letter from Mr. Bliss, in which the latter
suggested, as an appropriate watchword for the fu
ture; the following text,—"Jestas Chrhat—the 81 1 / 3 116
yesterday, to-day, and forever."
One gentleman presented the request for prayer of
a young man now in Moyamensing Prison,.under
'sentence of death.. Mr. Dale, a memler of one of
our leading mercantile houses, arose, towards the
close of the 'meeting, and suggested that there was
apparently little propriety in denominating these
meetings business men's meetings; and he urged, as
a business man, upon business men, that they should
more frequently avail themselves of the spiritualibe
nefits of attending and participating in these noonday
assemblages for prayer. At the suggestion of a bro
ther, the time was extended fifteen minutes beyond
the usual hour. There was a large attendance, and
the proceedings throughout Were marked with .the
best possible spirit, and gave unmistakable tokens
of the continuance of these meetings in the future.
Philadelphia Bible Society.—On tht evening of
Thanksgiving Day a large audience attended the
Church of the Epiphany, where the 22d anniversary
of the Philadelphia Bible Society was held. The
statement of the operations of the Society shows that
in connexion with the Pennsylvania Bible Society,
it lids circulated during the past year over 28,000
Bibles, and more than 50,000 Testaments, The num
ber issued by the Philadelphia . Society since its re - -
organization amounts to ninety-eight thousand seven
hundred and forty-eight Bibles, and one hundred and
forty-five thousand seven hundred and forty-two Tes
taments. A number of spirited addresses were deli
vered by Rev. Messrs. A. Cookman, W. R. Breed, R.
Newton, and W. Welsh, Esq.
It is reported. that the Alabama Baptist Conven
tion has passed resolutions 'approving of secession,
and that Baptists in Maryland, headed by Dr. Ful

High - Church Preaching. —A' writer in the
Churchman, New York, complains of the preaching
of his pastor for six months: "He goes on battling
words, waging wars' with no demons nor vices, but
impotent shadows—telling me for forty minutes in
the morning that he is a priest and I a layman,
and for, thirty long minutes in the afternoon that I
am but a layman, while he is a priest, and somebody
else is a bishop. Is the whole body of the laity to
starve, while the shepherds have gone off, not 'to
search for wolves, but to proclaim to the rocks and
the echoes the advantages, the indispensableness,
and the authority of the crook?"
'Drunken Professors.— The Arkansaa Baptist
says:—"We have known a church of fifty members,
male and female, stunted and kept lean and lank on
account 'of carrying year after year' a - ` diunkardi
Count it as you may, one member with a half-gallon
of 'red eye' in him every day, is a heavier load for
a church to carry than three-score and ten Samsons
could stand under." '

THAT HE. HATS! SENT US."

pletely organizing the Central Committee of Corre

so soon as appointed, are requested to confer together•for
the purpose, of making their report as accurate, and as
