A WEEK OP . PRAYER.
By a general agreement, Christians in different
countries and of all denominations, purpose to set
apart the second week of January, as a time for
special and united prayer for the revival and ex
tension of true religion throughout the world.
Such a season was held a year ago, and with very
happy consequences.
The special aspects and agencies in the great
work of evangelization, will form distinct topics
for every day's deliberation and prayer.
In accordance with this, a series of meetings will
be held in the following churches:—
On Monday, January 7, the usual day of prayer
'observed by our churches for the conversion of the
world, meetings will be held at Clinton Street
Church, at 103 A. hi.; at Pine Street Church at
73 P. M.
Tuesday, January 8, at Walnut Street Church,
West Philadelphia, 4 P. M.
Wednesday, January 9, at Washington Square
Church, 4 P. M.
Thursday, January le, 'at Buttonwood Street
Church, 4 P. M.
Friday, January 11, , at Independent Presby
terian Chnroh, , Broad Street, 4 P. M.
Saturday, January 12, at Green Hill Church,
4. P. M.
The pastors will pretide in their several churches.
The following order of subjects for consideration
and prayer, will, we hope, be followed by our
meetings, except that for Monday, as the subject
for that day is Axed by custom and the recom
mendation of the Assembly, as a day of prayer for
the conversion of the world.
Sunday, January 6ql.—The promise of the
Holy Spirit.
Monday, January 7th.—An espeCial blessing on
ail the services orthe week, and the promotion of
brotherly kindness among all those who love the
Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity.
Tuesday, January Bth.—The attainment of a
higher standard of holiness by the children of
God.
'Wednesday, Janua4 gth.—A. large increase of
true conversions, especially in the families of be
lievers. •
Thursday, January 10th.—The first circulation
of the word of God, and a blessing upon Christian
literature.
Friday, January 11th.—A large outpouring of
the Holy Spirit upon all bishops, pastors, and
ruling elders of the churches, upon all seminaries
of Christian learning, and upon every Protestant
missionary among Jews or Gentiles, upon the con
verts of his station, and upon his field of labor.
Saturday January 12th.—The speedy overthrow
of all false religions, and the full 'accomplishment
of the prayer, " Thy kingdom come."
Sunday, January lath.—Thanksgiving for past
revivals, and the enforcement of the solemn re
sponsibility resting upon every Christian, to spend
and be spent in making known the name of the
Lord Jesus at home and abroad. Missionary ser

WALNUT ST. PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH,
WEST PHILADELPHIA.
We are happy to hear that the new and beau
tiful edifice, erected by this Church, is being filled
with an intelligent and efficient congregation.
Upwards,of ninety pews are already permanently
occupied. On the last Sabbath, after a sermon by
the pastor upon the essential features of the Pres
byterian system of Church Polity, four additional
elders, and four deacons, were inducted into office,
thus giving completeness to the organization, as
Presbyterians. The enterprise has assumed en
tirely new proportions by reason of the large in
crease of population in that section of the city,
and bids fair to take rank at no distant day among
our largest and 'moat effective churches.•
THE PRESBYTERIAN QUARTERLY RE
A Volume of the Edinburgh, New Philosophi
cal Journal, for the last quarter of the year
1859, has been placed in our bands, in which we
were gratified to find one of the scientific articles
which had originally appeared in our excellent
Quarterly. It is Dr. James C. Fisher's Mosaic
Account of the Creation, published in thetQuarter
ly of the preceding year:.'Thiel deserved recogni
tion of the merits of the article, must be more
agreeable to Dr. Fisher, and the friends of the
Review, from the very high character of the Edin
burgh Journal.
`REALTRVIL SENTIMENTS.-
The North American of this city, on Thursday
last, giVes us the following sentiments; which we
commend to the attention of all those equivocal
conservatives who profess to be saving the Union,
by a repetitious and wholesale abuse of the North,
but who have conveniently seen none of the, out
rages perpetrated at the south. These are the
men who have stimulated the Southern mind and
brought on our present evils.
How is it, that while it appears to be deemed so
high4oned and patriotic to criminate the free
•btates as violating the Constitution, and to mg
/prate the poor protection afforded the free blacks
Into acts of hostility to the !Muth, no one of these
sticklers for the. observance of_ the fundamental
compact has a word to say in reprobation of the
crackles inflicted and the murders committed
upon reputable and peaceable citizens of the
United States in several of the slaveholding
States, merely because they came outiof some one
of the free States, and were, suspected of not ap
proving of the "peculiar institution." Do they
suppose that the free States will acquiesce in this
as being right, and will accept it as a justifiable
evasion of the organic law which guaranties to
every member of the commonwealth the right to
reside in, and pursue his lawful business in every
part of its wide domain,. when their citizens,
going into the South, without giving any cause of ,
offence, are driven away by mobs, or are met at
,the landings by the..oonstituted - authorities and
VIEW
are sent home, without any regard to the loss or
suffering it may oost them? ' it is thought an
offence that the free States;.in . conformity with
the universally received decision that slavery is
the creature of law, and raust- cease the moment
its victim is. voluntarily removed outside the
action of the law which imposes his bonds,
have not chosen to impose those bonds for the ac
commodation,of Masters travellieg. among them, it is
surely a much more grievous disregard, not of
comity merely, but of law and right, that our citi
zens are forbidden to go into the Southesn States,
and, when any of them may be there, they dare
not utter what they may conscientiously believe
or think, without it exactly conforms to the Pro
crustean measurement of fanatical slaveholders.
These things are not mentioned with a. view to
excite unkind feelings, or to justify anything like
retaliatory -measures. Far from it. We can
readily understand hots; under circumstances of
peculiar excitement and among an impulsive and
ignorant populace, as the lower class of whites in
the slave States notoriously are, such violations of
law and right may occur, to the great grief and
mortification of the more sober and law-abiding
citizens, and we would' make all:necessary allow
anoe in the case; but we ineist there is far more
cause for such allowance to be extended to the few
cases that may have occurred in the north of fa
natical and irresponsible persons atteinpting to
meddle with the due execution of the Fugitive
Slave law. But after all that is said about the
nullification of the Fugitive Slave law, it is now
Confeseed by southern extremists, who are plunging
their States into secession, that this has nothing
to do with their detertninations.. .Thern- is some

which must be patent to those who are accustomed
to analyze the actions of men, and ,trace the cur
rents of feeling to their hidden springs. Until
within the last few years, nearly all men of culti
vated minds and unperverted moral feelings united
in believing slavery to be an evil. Nowhere was
this conviction more deeply felt and fully admitted
than among the leading men of our douthern States.
Quotations innumerable from the speeches and
writings of the most distinguished and niost influ
ential of their statesmen and their authors might
be cited to illustrate this fact, were it necessary.;
but it is not, for it is freely admitted by all, even
the most unreasonable of their political declaim
ers.
ale force of habit and the peculiar circum
stances under which they were placed, deterred
them from taking the initiatory steps to bring
about emancipation; but while some bemoaned
and others denounced the lagging Mists and clouds
which obscured the dawning of the day of freedom
to themselves and their slaves, all hopefully anti
cipated its coming, and rejoiced in every ray of
light that appeared to herald its arrival: But a
change came over the bright prospect. The
growth and sale of cotton began to convert the
plantations, of the Gulf States into gold mines,
and the multiplication of slaves to work them was
demanded. This demand continuing, raised the
price of the bondman until it became :a .money
making business to rear human beings as articles
of merchandise in the more northern slave Stites,
foreign competition being precluded by law.
It was somewhere about the time that this
change began to be generally felt' throughout the
southern States that the abolition - movement corn
mewed, which has given rise to nova little fana
tical intolerance and unchristiin denunciation. on
the part of many shallow participants in it, espe
cially among 'those who have made it a salking
horse for riding into political favor. This un
doubtedly created alarm and irritation among the
high-minded Men of the South, who very natural
ly thought that, as it was their, business, to meet
and deal with the "peculiar institution," they•
should be allowed in so doing to act solely in'ac
cordance with the dictates of their own judgment
and consciences.. Not satisfied, however, with oc
cupying this .ground of defence, very many ad
vanced step by step until slavery itself was not
only defended as a necessary evilAut finally has

OUR OWN CHURCH.
California Itemo.—From recent ndrnbere of the
Pacific we clip the following:
- ' REV. S. B. BELL, D. D., was installed last Sabbath
(November 25) as pastor of the Presbyterian church
in Oakland. The sermon was preached by Rev. J.
D. Strong. The constitutional questions were asked
by Rev. W. W. Brier. The charge to the pastor by
Rev.L. Hamilton. The charge to the people by Rev.
W. W. Brier. The subject of the sermon was the
indebtedness of society and the state to the church.
RED BLUFF.—Our readers will see from our corre
spondent that a Presbyterian Chute!), N-. S., has been
organized at Red Bluff, with eleven members,
and
that four thousand five hundred dollars have been
pledged for a church building, besides the donation
of a lot. A FRIEND INDEED.—The Marysville 'Ap
peal' says: We ware yesterday shown a letter from
Mr. H. Richardson, an old-time resident of this city,
as many of our readers may recollect, in which he
enclosed a check for one hundred dollars for the new
Presbyterian church of this city. Mr. Richardson
is now a resident of Wisconsin, and remembers in
his home far,, far away the California home of other
days, and sends them this token of his esteem and
remembrance.
Rev. P. C. Hay, D. D., died suddenly at Orange,
New Jersey, on the 27th of December. •Ile was for
merly pastor of the 2d Ohureh, Newark, New Jer
sey, and held the position of Moderator of the Gene
ral Assembly in 1849.
OTHER BRANCHES OF THE PRESBYTE
RIAN CHURCH. ,'
Iporince is Bliss.—Rev. Dr. Lacey, President
of Davidson Colleg,e, North Carolina, deolined to serve
on a Committee,on Chaplains, at the late meeting of
hie Synod, and gave as a reason that he had not read
a political newspaper for several years past, and did
not know that the Union of the States was in danger,
until be reached the place of meeting of the Synod,
and heard that such was the fact from some of the
members of the Synod.
"Mhererknorance stia_follrto-beiwise."
.
Baptist Clergymen in. Presbyterian Pulpits.—
Rev. B. G. Robinson, D. D., of the Rochester Theo
logical Seminary, - we learn from Rochester, has been
engaged to supply the vacant pulpit of the First
Presbyterian church in that city fur the coming six
months. Dr. Robinson has already preached there
several times to large congregations who manifest
great interest in his ministrations.
The 'Tennessee Baptist? waxes indignant at this,
and gives vent to the following :remarks: •
-
"The Rochester. Theological Seminary is a Bap
tist school, established by Baptist liberality, at great
expense, in order that young ministers may be trained
to become useful and consistent ministers of the New
Testament. -Who can expect that sound instruction
will be given by Professors who set such an exam
ple before them? Actions speak louder than words.
We pray most fervently that the last young minister
has gone to the North to be educated, or to any other
point where the Professors set such an example be
fore the eyes of the students."
A Word for Christian Farmers.—A correspon
dent of the Evangelical Lutheran' is owner of
twenty-five acres of land, all cleared, on which he
still owes two hundred dollars. Feeling a strong de
sire to do all the good he can, he one year ago dedi
cated one acre Cu the service orGod, and planted it
in corn. In thes fall he gathered the crop, amount
ing in all to forty4ve bushels, which were found to
be worth twenty dollars. ' This was properly distri
buted among the several claims of benevolence, as
the Lord's money.
."It is probable," he adds, "that if I had not deter
mined beforehand to dedicate the products of that
particular acre to God, I would not have given half
so much."
One of his neighbors has adopted a similar course,
with correspopdins success. And both are respive.d
to persevere in it, in order to procure, means to assist
in, building churches. May. God abundantly bless
them - , and may their example "provoke many!"

EPISCOPAL.
South Carolina.-We are requested to contradict
a statement very generally made in regard to-the
omission of the prayer for the President of the United
States, in every Episcopal Church in Charleston.
To this we add a special statement made in the Fre
dericksburg 'News of the 11th inst., to thee effect
that "there is no foundation for such a -report: Not
a minister in the State has made any change whate
ver ,in—the Liturgy. They , pray for, tbe - I"residpint

Importance of a Regular Pastorate. 7-11400
Lay, of Arkansas, who seems to possess an extraor
dinary degree of zeal for his work, gives.the follow
ing as the results of an extensive tour in the desti
tute portions of his diocese:
"Desiring to present a frank and honest view of
this field, I must not conceal-the fact that the stand
ard of Christian decorum in this Western country is
deplorably low. I grieve to say that I cannot except
from this remark even our own scattered people. I
believe this cannot be otherwise where the ministers
are simply preachers. Without faithful pastors, we
cannot have holy people. A church with Out a pas
tinge teaches an almost Ephesian religion, which
knows no Holy Ghost. It is my earnest and constant
effort to teach everywhere that, indispensable as are
rites and sacraments, .it is a profanation to, come to
them without an unreserved self-consecration; that
our religion has a. discipline as well as a doctrine,
and they only can be saved who purpoSe daily to
bear the Cross."
METHODIST.
Importance of Missionary Effort to the
Okorphes.—On a recent miesionaryocetkeien at Cin
cinnitti; Rev. Dr J. P. Durhiri said: "After' ten yeaiet
o - f
,ottreful ob ervation f all t ihe,countee,-koth-in
, our 'trim-Anil t:theiiihurchett, I have reached thfs&ot
i elusion that thwlmissknmttleapae , , is`the life of the
Church: ?a Chnrolt will not espoumand sustain
the. missionary cause, she will, decline an die out.
Wl:4re this:cause lives and thrives, ther all the
other; interests of . • the Church thrive. Sometiines,
trustees, stewards, class-leaders, and others, think
there Will- be -a failure to -meet 'the. debts on-their
churches, their preacher's salary, etc., if the mission=
ary cause is pressed. It is a mistake, a great - Mis
take, however." '
The Chaplain Question.—At the recent session
of the Georgia Conference, held at Augusta, it was
announced that the Rev. Mr. Thomas, a mernber,of
the Conference and a chaplain in the United States
Navy, had adopted in his religious duties as chaplain
the Episcopal form -of service, wearing a gown, etc".
Letters were read, ,'stating -in extenuation, that this
was.required of chaplains in•the Navy. After some
discussion it was resolVed that a coniedittee,of three
be appointed to prepare an addresS,,,aipressive of
.condemnatory sense of this Conferenee.on the, subject
—a copy of the address to be forwarded to Mr. Tho
mas, and another to the Secretary of the Navy.
For Raytt—Rev..T. N. Lewis, a' colored Local
proacher, is about to emigrate to 'Hayti with some
thirty or forty families under his charge.: Great
have been held out by president Geffrard
tO,the blacks, of the. United States to seek . a home in
the island. Mr. Lewis' is an intelligent man, of ex;
'nellent character, and is 'wall fitted' to 'be the head."'of
a company of emigrants. Our friends upon whom
he may call, can rely upon, all his statetnent.s.—Me

The New Boston.Review.—At a recent meeting
of the Directors of the American Theological Review
CoMpatiy, the fond-wing resolution's were passed:
I Thatia-the opinion of the Directors of the Ame
rican Theological Review Company, if the proprie
torship of the Review is to pass from the hands of
theltsv: J. At. Stierwcorl, - (of' New Tork,) the - origi;
nttl 'and firm friends of the Review in New England
gliould have thd first opportuditY to take It.
And.the'Directors regret that'arrangements made
fo'r ifs transfer to a Company in Boston, within a few
months past, have notheen consummated—that Com
pany having accepted terms of sale made by Mr.
Sherwood, according to his own explanations of the
same.
Thatin Um.jadgm . ent, the 'proprietorship of. the
Review should'be returned - to'Boston or the Amdri
can Theological Review Company abandon its
sponeibility for the Review.
3. That the theological interests in New England,
that led this company to startAe" Revie*, stilt de
mand a Review owned and published in Boston, and
that there are increasing encouragements for .such
Mr. Sherwood, having * sold , ont the interests of tbis
Review to parties in New York, a new Association
of gentlemen in this city has been formed for the
publication of a-Quarterly, to be called the BOSTON
REVIEW.
The Company has capital, and the co-operation of
able writers sufficient to warrant a permanent Review
of the first class.
It is proposed that the new Review, while it shall
be unequivocal and out-spoken in its theology, shall
yet be attractive in its literary merits and artistic
finish—a Review which shall fills place not yet filled,
and shall commend itself to clergymen and intelligent
laymen.
An Elegant Extract.—Mr. Frederick W, Beech
er, late of Chicago Theological Seminary, and son of
Dr. Edward Beecher, was ordained to the gospel mi
nistry, at the Hanover Street Congregational Church
in Milwaukee, Nov. 12th. Rev. J. L. Corning, who
gave the charge, said it might be summed' up as fol
lows:—" First, remember that you are the son of your
father.; second, that you are the grandson of your
grandfather; and third, that you are the nephew of
your uncle."
This is perfect in its kind, except that it omits the
most distinguished figure in the group. It should
have said. "That you are the nephew of your uncle
and aunt." And even that would make an invidious
distinction, in a family in which all are too distin
guished to allow of any being classed with.the " hoi
polloi."—Congregationalist.
- A Recent Unitarian writer said that the strict
views which the orthodox take of the character of
God as an avenger of sin, "tend to make men severe
and vindictive." To this the crushing reply has been
made that the doctrine seemed to the Apostle Paul
to have just the opposite tendency. " Dearly beloved,
avenge not yoUrselves, but rather give place unto
wrath; for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will
repay, saith the 'Lord. Therefore, if thine enemy
hunger, feed him ; if he thirst, give him drink!'
indeed, all through the Scriptures the fact.that there
is Divine vengeance is prominently presented as an
effectual dissuasive from the exercise of human re
venge, and a motive to the exhibition of patience,
forbearance, and forgiveness- 'Need anythingmore
be said?
Parlor Prayer Meetings in New York.—The
New York correspondent of the Presbyterian of our
Union, says; ,
A few persons in this city have taken this matter
in band, they go into a district where. they do, not en
joy the 'ordinary means or facilities of attending pub
lic worship, secure a suitable room and go from house
to house personally, and invite all to attend the
meeting. They are uisiall,xuallad_thar irayer
meeting, ,
grns -- treTrtre mostly " held in parlors.
batitnifUhristians thus go from house to house doing
good to' all in duelime. They have no connexion, as
yet, with each other, nor do they pretend to act in
concert, yet we have been informed that a large num
ber of these meetings are daily held in this city, and
that their number is daily increasing, and that they
are also growing in interest,
increaseand the number of at
tendants greatly every day.
•
Great Britain.--Tnv. CHURCH Teounus.—The
Broad Church School are looking up just now. Mr.
Kingsley is liked at court. Last Sunday an author.
of one of the noted "Essays and Reviews" (the Rev.
F. P. Temple) preached before' her Majesty. Mean- 1
while the Bishop of London dispenses his favors with I
equal hand. After putting down Puseyism in St.
George's-in-the-East, he has just made the Puseyite
Rector of Brompton a Canon of St. Paul's; the Rev.
Dr. Irons is a Puseyite, I imagine; he always passes
for such, or, at any rate, for a very High Churchman,
a stanch believer in baptismal regeneration, and
other dogmas peculiar to the school. How great the
contrast between father and son. The father of the
new Canon was a hyper-Calvinist; a shining light
amongst the denouncers of good works; a popular
preacher at the Grove, Camberwell, where for. Sun
day•after Sunday, over half a century, he held forth
as the apostle of ultra-Calvinism, and where the new
canon was reared amid the zealous prayers of the
worthy deacons of the Church. He broke away at
'an early'age, and in the heat of the Puseyite contro
versy, t&e Vicar of Brompton, which he had then be
come, was cOnspicuous for his ritualism.
Civil and Religions Liberty in Italy.—Lord
Shaftesbury, at ,a colportage meeting last week stated
that Count Cavour had written to hi& the other day,
assiiringlim that he was as much in favor of civil
and religious liberty as any man in England, and
nothing should be wanting on his part. He further
stated that the• Count bore high testimony te the cha
racter and conduct, 'during recent events, of those
Italianewho had seceded from'Rotne. It has given
him a deep impression of the immense value of the
Bible,, and of, the right to communicate it to every
FOREIGN.

The Republican illtimatum.--The following is
the position of the'Republicans in the Senate Com
mittee of thirteen, under the lead of Senator Seward:
1. That the Constitution shall never be so amend
ed as to.. permit the interference of the Federal Go
vernment with slavery in the. States, and that this
shall be secured by legislative enactment.
IL This itrtiele is lengthy. Its main purpose is to
secure trial by jury to the fugitive slaves.
111. Congress will pass a resolution, asking Go
.vernors to revise. State statutes, to ascertain if "Ver
sonal liberty" laws exist, and to request their re
peal, "as required by a just sense of constitutional
obligations, and by a due regard for the peace of the
Republic."
A fourth proposition, which will enable the people
of New Mexico to enter the Union as a slave State,
is advocated by the more conservative Republicans.
The Representatives from the border States, are
said to be satisfied with these propositions.
FOREIGN
By the arrival of' the steamships North America
and Kangaroo, we have European advices to the 21st
nit. The bombardment of Gaeta was to have recom
nienced on the 19th. A despatch from St. Peters
burgh gi"es as positive truth the announcement that
three Englishmen and three French had been
taken prisoners and massacred by the Chinese.
Turkey.—CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. s.—An angry
discussion has taken place between the Porte and the
Sardinian Minister on account of some Sardinian
vessels having left for the Danube with munitions of
war, supposed to be/destined for Hungary or Servia.
Three of these vesiels have been stopped by order at
Salina, and two have proceeded.

you WANT IT,
STOUR WIFE WANTS IT,
yOUR CHILDREN WANT IT,
IT WILL CERTAINLY PAY,
AND . YOU WOULD HAVE IT,
you only knew how USEFUL, how INSTRUCTIVE,
and how ENTERTAINING it is. r
We refer to that "first best," that largest, most in
structive, most beautiful, and yet dampest journal in the
world for the HOUSEHOLD, for the FARM, and for
the GARDEN, viz.: the
American. Agriculturist.
YOU WANT IT, because it contains the very many
new and useful directions, hints, and suggestions about
all kinds of out-door work, in the GARDEN, in the
FIELD, in the ORCHARD, on the little plot of ground,
about, Domestic Animals ' , etc., etc. The Agriculturist
is not a stale rehash of theoretical stuff, such as goes
the rounds trom one paper to another,,but it is filled
with useful:kind new praclical information, every word
of which is reliable, because prepared by honest; prac
tical WORKING MEN, who know what they write
• •
about.
Each volume contains ninny hundreds of useful hinti,
and it is: certain that many of these *hints will each be
worth to you more than a dollar. As an example, a
sUESCrible - Wliar: - "T'Obtaitted-s._bu"sh4sLmargt,po r acre
on 'a 10 acre Bettor wheat, (or in all 50 bishels) simply
`froth a hinlabout preparing the seed •given my Agri=
culturist. , ' Another says - he obtained an extra yield of
11 bushels of corn per acre ou a 15 -nerefteld r and with
no:extra cost for, culture, by applying one hint from the
Agriculturist. Another, (a villager,) says he got s43i
worth extra of good garden vegetables, which he at
tribute=polly to the : timely hints in the Agriculturist,
.witithim:from time to time what to do, how to do
itori,wkn l / 4 to do it. Thousands of others have-derived
similar advantages. You are invited to try the paper a
year, at a cost of only $l. if you desire, you ean.have,
free of charge, four or five parcels of choice seeds,
which the Prohibiter will distribute among his sub
scribers the present winter.
YOUR WIFE _wants the Agriculturist, because it
base large amount of valuable and really useful infor
-1 mation about all lands of HOUSEHOLD WORK, from
Garret to Cellar.. Give her the benefit of - this paper for
a year. You will find your home made better, and
money saved. '
YOUR CHILDREN want the Agriculturist, for it
contains a very interesting, useful, and entertaining de
paitment for YOUTH and CHILDREN, which will be
of great value to their minds and hearts:
The above are truthful statements, that will be cheer
fully attested by nearly a hundred thousand 'of the pre
sent readers of the Agriculturist. You are invited to
try a single volume of the Agriculturist, which will cost
,only $l, and abundantly pay. Try it for 1861 [Vol. 20.]
