PAY YOUR SUBSCRIPTIONS.
No would tender our acknowledgments to such
subscribers and agents as have recently favored us
with remittances. At this time suoh attentions
are peculiarly opportune. We must express our
earnest wish and expectation that subscribers who
are still delinquent, and agents who are behind
hand in their collections, will at once hasten to
discharge these duties.
In making remittances, money current here
will' of course be preferred, but do not wait for
that; send such funds as are at par in your own
neighborhood.

We are now sending our paper to a number of
subscribers whose bills have been repeatedly sent,
but who have never made any response, who, in
fact, have never paid a eent for the paper, though
they are on the footing of regular subscribers.
Such persons may expect their paper to be discon

OUR OWN CHURCH.
Dr. Patterson's Letter to Mrs. Bnroh.-9.mong
the many sad developments made in the Burch trial,
it is some consolation to read the letter of Dr. Pat
terson in reply to one he received from Mrs. Burch
last, winter. It does honor to both the head and the
heart of the writer. Viewed from his stand-point, it
must be pronounced a well-nigh faultless model of
pastoral kindness and sympathy blended with Chris
tian faithfulness. It was doubtless written with no
thought of the publicity it has since received, and
yet if the author had anticipated all, we question
whether he could have altered it to advantage.—
Cone. Herald, Chicago.
Rev. Dr. Murdoch, of' Elmira, who has been pae
tor of the First Presbyterian Church for nearly ten
years, entered upon a new enterprise on the Second
Sabbath of December. Over sixty families from the
old church united with him at his opening—eoin
prising some of the eidestmembera of the church and
best established citizens of the place. A vacated
Episcopal edifice, furnished anew, afforded them a
pleasant retreat—where they will remain till a build
ing of their own can be erected. Many more than
the present house accommodates are seeking for ad
mission.
Rev. R. B. Welch, having received and accepted
a call from the Presbyterian church (N. S.) of Al
bion, was dismissed to the Presbytery of Niagra.—
Christian intelligencer.
The Mercier Street Chureh.—lt is with very
great regret that we learn that the Rev. Walter
Clarke, D. D., hut resigned the charge of this church.
It is but two years since he came to this city, butin
that time he has produced on our religious public,
especially on the more intelligent °lea of bearers, a
very deep impression of his ability, and of his high
Christian and ministerial character. Since he came
to Mercer street, we understand that the congrega
tion has been fully sustained, notwithstanding that
it is now quite far clown town. But it has had heavy
leases, Within two or three years, in the death of such
men as Anson G. Phelps. Benjamin F. Butler, Judge
Mason, and others, who were its " pillars." OF the
remaining old members many are drifting away to
the upper part of the city. Under these increaing
disadvantages of position, Dr. Clarke -has felt con
strained to resign. The decision will take the pub
lic by surprise, and will be heard with sorrow by
may in ether churches ae Welt as hfe own, 'who had
learned to look up to him with the highest honor and
respect. Of his future plans we are not informed,
but we could wish that this might not lead to his re
moval from this city. Among all her ministers, New
York has not many such men to lose.—Evangelist.
With the kindest feelings for Dr. Clarke. we would
ask whether the above is a sufficient reason for the
dissolution of the pastoral relation? There has been
a steady and powerful flow of the tide of population
of this city to the north and north-west, depleting
our old churches in the position of the first and third,
but their pastors courageously maintain their posi
tion to the great advantage, as we believe, of that
part of the city, as well as to our own branch of the
Church.—j Eds, Am. Pres.

The Rev. Praneis Rerron,'D.D., for forty years
the honored pastor of the First Presbyterian Church
in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, fell asleep in Jesus on
the 6th inst., at the ripe age of eighty-six. Upon
the day following that of his departure, on motion of
the venerable and distinguished'Judge Sheler, him
self an Episcopalian, the following order was made
in the District Court and Court of Common Pleas.
"It having been announced in open court that the
Rev. Francis Herron, 1). D., had departed this life,
and that the funeral obsequies were about to be per
formed on the forenoon of Saturday, the Bth inst., it
is ordered that, as a token of the high veneration and
respect this court entertains for that distinguished
theologian, venerable citizen, and eminent and apos
tolic servant of God, and in deference to the public
sentiment entertained in reference to this irreparable
loss, the court will adjourn to Monday next.

The Tureen of 1860.—The Annual Minutes of
the Conferences of the Methodist Episcopal Church
in the United States, for 1860, have just been pub
lished by Carlton Sr, Porter, New York, in an octavo
pamphlet of 376 pages. The increase of members
for the year has been twenty-seven thousand and
eixty-nine ; decrease of probationers, six thdusand
nine hundred and sixty-seven; total increase, twenty
thousand one hundred and two. The present total
membership of the Church is nine hundred 'and
ninety-four thousand four hundred and forty-seven,
being about five thousand five hundred abort of a
million of members.
Rev.Dr.Parsons.—lt ban been published through
out the country that the Rev. Dr. Parsons had se
vered his connexion with the Methodist. Church and
joined the Episcopal Church. The Louisville Jour
nal says that the Doctor has re-considered his late
action, and that he has made formal application to
the Conference to be reinstated, and some time will
elapse ere the result of the application will be an
nounced.
" Dr. Parsons, who a few days ago put off his Me
thodism and entered heart and soul into the bosom
of Episcopalianism, and who was received with open
arms, and entered upon his canonical novitiate pre
paratory to assuming the gown, has retraced his steps,
and is now found knocking at the door of Methodism
again.'

The Gaspeland the Tnrks.—Corrupt and imbecile
as the Turkish governmant is, and fiercely fanatical,
as is the spirit of Mohammedanism, the gospel is ob
taining an entrance among the Turks. Such inci
• dents of recent occurrence as we give below are of
profound significance. The first two are reported by
agents of the Church Miseionery Society:
"A NICE Boox."--Yesterday Mr. Dalessio went'to
the Turkish Hospital to meet a Turk of his ac
quaintance. Not having found the Turk as he ex
pected, Mr. Dulessio went further for a little wakel
and looking forward he saw a man sitting by himself
and reading a book. In drawing near, gr. D. finind
to his astonishment the man was a Turk, and the
book in his band the Turkish New Testament.
"What are you reading?" asks Mr. D. "Goad bir
Kitab," is the answer—l. e., "a nice book." On in
•.,,pliry how he had got the book, the Turk said be
, bought it from an Armenian. The chapter the
4 -was just reading was Matthew v. Mr. D. ex
r:uir. t e passages to him. He promised to visit

paid for it, he asked for a copy,of the New Testa
ment. We gave him n copy, and he paid for it also.
I asked him if he had ever read it. "No," he said,
"hut I have heard it read by another, and so I had
a great desire to possess a copy of it for myself."
He asked the price, and paid it immediately. I spoke
to him about the divinity of Christ, and he listened
to what I said with great pleasure. He bought some
other Turkish books, and went away.--A, J. Dales
sio, Smyrraa.
A CortvEßT.—Hamdi Effendi, the Nephew of Kia
mil Pasha, still lives with us. He now visits, not
unfrequently, the palace of his uncle, in a friendly
manner. Temptations to return are put into his way
quite liberally, but he has been entirely firm thus
far. There is a very great gain in this fact as a pre
cedent, via.: that a converted Mussulman is hospita
bly received and courteously treated in the very house
from which be went out, and that the house of the
second Pasha in Constantinople! I hope soon to set
Hamdi Effendi to some missionary work; he is learn
ing the English somewhat slowly.—Dr. Sc!muffler.
THE BIBLE BOUGHT BY PASHAS.—It is a source of
encouragement and gratitude to us that, during all
the excitement and outrages in Syria, we have been
kept in perfect safety, and have seen none of those
exhibitions of Moslem fanaticism and hatred of which
we hear, even in neighboring cities. The rulers, as
well as the• people here, appear to be friendly. I
may have mentioned that the military Pasha of this
district publicly purchased,a copy of. the. Bible, and
that during our annual meeting, he returned a call
made upon him. The then resident civil Pasha also
accepted a copy of the Scriptures, and his successor,
though before his coming he was reported to be a bi
goted Mussulman, immediately on his arrival pub
licly purchai3ed a copy of the NeW Testament, and
at a subsequent call of ours upon him, when we spoke
of our mission to preach the gospel, he took the book
palm. ibtle-telii..t.ha_prespareae.o sayer.al. T urka—ekv :
ing that he was reading it. His son also visited our
book stall; and bought a copy of the Bible.—Rev. C.
H. Wheeler, Sharpoot.
WE HAVE LOST GOD.—The work at Albustan seems
to be of a deep, substantial character. [ had many
calls from Mussulmans, especially those of the
"Sheikh" sect, mentioned in Dr. Pratt's letter of
last November. Every day they would come, and
with an apparent 'sincere desire to learn the truth,
would hold long conversations on the fact of man's
sinfulness, and how it was possible for God ever to
forgive sin. "We have lost God;" "We have lost
the road;" "We cannot find God;" were expressions
they used very often. At almost every meeting from
three to five Mussulmans were present. One is known
all over 'the city as a Protestant, and a second is a
member of the Governor's council. —Rev. 'G. H.
White, Marash. •
LIGHT CREATES FEAR.—The leaven of truth is also
working among other nationalities. A Modell') spoke
for many, when he said to a Protestant, "Since you
Protestants came, you have caused us to fall into
doubt and fear."—Rev. .1. IST. Ball, Yozgai.
PASHAS PURCHASE THE BIBLE AGAINST GREEK °PPG
siTios.—On Friday last a faithful colporteur repaired
to the vicinity of the mosque at which the Sultan
was to attend noon prayers, in the hope of being able
to dispose of some Turkish Scriptures. Several sol
diers came and looked at the' hocks, but said they
had not money to purchase. By and by the signal
was given for the soldiers to be in their ranks, and
the colporteur was left alone. Several officers, how
ever, remained unoccupied, near the gate of the pa
lace, I believe, and our faithful brother thought with
himself, "If the soldiers have not money, perhaps
the Pashas have," and promptly approached them,
offering hie precious wares. Some Greeks who stood
near tried to interfere, saying to the Turks, "Do not
take his books; they are Protestant books.". The
latter, however, bade them not meddle, politely exa
mined the New Testaments, and purchased three.—
Rev. E. Riggs, D. D. Constantinople.
A COLPORTEUR AND TURKISH PRIEST.—On board
the steamer to Bebek, 1. was reading my Turkish
Testament among many influential Turks, who, by
the way, have a curious habit of looking into every
one's hook. I read the ninth and tenth chapters of
Hebrews. An Imaum (priest) took it out of my hand
and read for himself. He asked me many questions
as to the person and priesthood of Melchisedeo, ctc.
After some conversation, 1 directed him to the ninth
chapter, on the blood of Christ, showing him that
there is no other Saviour under heaven but Him. He
seemed perfectly satisfied with these new ideas, and
requested me to sell him the Testament, which being
the one I carried with me through the Crimea, I did
not like to part with, but I promised him another.
This, however, was not all. While we were speak
ing, upwards of twenty flocked round, and were op-
in multiplying such instances? It would take a lit
tle volume to record them all.—A CoJinn-tear in Con
stantinople.
A. few years ago such distribution of the Word of
God as is above described was impossible. Moham
medans were then beheaded for changing their reli
gion, and inquiry into the claims of the gospel could
be prosecuted only at the imminent hazard of life.
How momentous, is the change:

.- _ ONTRIRIITIDNB w GER
MAN v.—The new Evangelical ‘Kirchenzeitung,' of
Oct. 27th, acknowledges the receipt of five thouscmd
nine hundred and fifty thalers fur the relief of the
Mar onites. Seven hundred thalers of this amount
were sent to Pastor . Fliedner, of the Deaconess In
stitution at Kaiserswerth, to be appliedAo the accom
modation of Syrian orphans in the orphan house at
Smyrna, and eight hundred thalers were handed to
the deaconess Von Troths, of Kaiserswerth fur the
purpose of founding an orphan house in Beirut.
The Berlin Univereity.—This celebrated institu
tion observed the first semi-centennial jubilee of its
existence on tho 15th of October. The year 1810, in
which it was founded, was one of great confusion and
distress in Prussia on account of the wars of' Napo
leon. It has ever been distinguished for the ideal,
as distinguished from a direct, practical, tendency of.
its course. Among the Professors have been, in
Theology, such men as Schleiermacher, De Tette,
and Marheineke; in Philosophy, Fichte and Kla
proth ; in law, Savigny. Among the members of the
Academy have been Wolff, Niebubr, and Buttman.
Among its graduates were - such as Steffens, Ritter,
and 3. Muller, (author of a celebrated treatise on the
nature of Sin,) also Stahl, the statesman, Ranks and
Von Raumer, the historians; Bekker, Bopp, Lach
mann, Zumpt, the philologists; Neander, Twesten,
Nitzsch, Ilengstenberg, and Strauss, theologians.
The jubilee lasted three days. The most impor
tant part of the exercises was held in the church of
St. Nicholas, which was adorned and illuminated, in
the day time, for the occasion. The company entered
the church in a procession, in which there were from
seventy to eighty clergymen, The Rector delivered
a_discourse, in which the internal relations existing
between true science and religion were most empha
tically avowed. On the third day, Minister Von
Bethinann. Hollweg announced the message of the
Prince Regent to the deputation from abroad,—in
his view the most significant word which had been
uttered during the festival. "It was his inmost con
viction," the Prince had said, " that according to the
fine language of the Rector on the previous day, the
State would be saved, not merely! by the power of
weapons, but by learning in connexion with religion.
That was his own opinion and method, ae it was his
sainted father's and his royal brother's, and he would
govern his actions accordingly."
The "Kirchenzeitung" closes its account of the
festival with thanks to the Lord of the Church and
of science, that he bad wrought so much for both in
the last fifty years, and rejoiced in the confident hope
that he will uphold, by the side of the evangelical
church a science which shall continually increase in
self-consecration and clearness under the influence of
the fear of the. Lord which is the beginning of wis
dom.
The German Contributions to Syria.—At the
suggestion of the late Kirchentag at Barmen, the
services of pastor. Kramer, of Beirut, have been se
cured to , superintend the distribution of funds contri
buted in Germany. The German Christians, from
whom these contributions mainly come, do not ad
mire being totally merged in the Anglo-American
Committee, and think they have ways and schemes
of doing good peculiar to themselves, besides, that
they expect to act more effectively , upon the benevo
lence of their people by maintaining a specific cha
racter at.the theatre of operations.
Pastoral Conference at Dantrig.—On the 29th
of August one of those numerous pastoral conferences
which are maintained for purposes of mutual
tion ani culture in Germany, was held at Dantzig.
The most important question discussed was the Ec
clesiastical Constitution proposed for the Eastern
provinces of Prussia by the government, There were
great diversities of sentiment. The opposition to
the measure was led by an official person, Consistorial
rath,, Bresler, of Dantzig, while Professor Erd
man, of Konigsberg, vigorously defended the arrange
ments proposed to be made.
Persecution in Spain.—A religious persecution
hits broken out in Spain. A Protestant Spaniard has
been arested, and documents being found upon him
implicating many of his countrymen as favoring the
Protestant movements in that country; several of
th e m have been arrested, and others have fled into the
interior. and tdoGibraltar. The laws of Spain against
Protestants are' very severe, but have nut lately been
enforced.

ning, a man named Roop, in attempting to get on the
front platform of a Green St, passenu"er car, fell and
was struck or run over, and sp severely injured that
he died in a few minutes. He was unmarried. The
above accidents were results of their carelessness and
recklessness.
An Opinion.—The U. S. Gazette of Thursday,
says:— •
We yesterday saw a letter to a business firm in this
city from a firm in North Carolina, enclosing It draft
discharging the indebtedness of the writers. It con
cluded thus:
".Our sister State (South Carolina) is giving us all
a great deal of trouble. We wish she would secede
and make no more fuse about it. In this section of
the country we should not lament her departure from
the Union. * * * * North Carolina will not go
with her." •

on the•Sebuylkill, cost much Mailer sums; still, as
an average, the figures wei have named, ,and derived
from reliable authority, may be regarded as tolerably
correct. On all the tugs about 200 men are employed,
many of whom are experienced steam engineers.

CONGRESSIONAL.
CongTess.—Tuesday, Dec. 18. In the Senate Mr.

The House was not in session.
Congress, Wednesday, Dec. 19th.—In the. Senate,
Mr. Johnson, of Tenn., continued his speech in favor
of compromising, but against the right of secession.
Speaking of the whisky rebellion, he said:
Gen. Washington sent 15,000 men to put down
that rebellion. That was the way he enforced the
laws. Suppose the whole people of the State of
Pennsylvania had rebelled, would not it have been
just as coostitutional to enforce pie laws against the
whole as'a part of the State?
He also said:
"If he was an abolitionist and wanted to abolish
slavery, the first step he would take would be to dis
solve the Union. The existence of slavery demands
the preservation of the Union. What protection
would the border States have if the Union was dis
solved? Whose property is at stake and whose in
terests are the must endangered?"
He appealed to the South to pause and consider
before they •rashly go too far. He appealed to the
North to come forward with conciliation and conces
sion. Tfris Congress has power to-day to arrest se
session and to save the Uoion. Will it not do it? or
will it desert the sinking ship? For one, be would
stand supporting the edifice as long as human effort
'lasted. He closed with a strong appeal to stand by
the Constitution.
Against this manly appeal for law and order, a
"Northern" Senator, sue, of Oregon, replied, ex
cusing South Caroline and the secessionists, and
claiming that the old d moeratic party would not fol
low Mr. Johnson in hi attempt to, coerce a State.
He claimed that Washi•'gton was a seceder when he
went to - Phitade/phia. Ef. a left the Confederation.
In the House.—A appropriating $900,000 for

THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE.
We trust that those whu do not now receive THE
TRIBUNE will subscribe for it without delay. The
club price of THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE and SEMI
WEEKLY TRIBUNE is so low that there are but few
in any community unable to take it. Henceforth, THE
TntennE, as the principal paper supporting the new Ad
ministration, will be peculiarly interesting; while out
side of polities, Ds reliable Foreign and Domestic News,
its Commercial anti Agricultural Intelligence, and its
Literary Department, give to it interest and value which
no other paper on the continent can boast of. How
ably and successfully THE TRIBUNE has conducted the
coutpatgn now so gloriously ended, the result in New
York fully attests, and to the untiring exertions, signal
capacity and foresight of Horace Greeley, is due much
of the glory of the victory, over which a nation of Free
men is now rejoicing. lt is, therefore, the duty of every
true lienubtican. tO aid in THE -TaLEHHE a.still
larger circulation. As evidence of its popularity and
reliability, we may state that last week-over Six Hundred
