Af ter singing by the children and congregation, Dr. Durbin offered prayer. Then came the collection from the several classes for the bene fit of the: missionary cause. One after another came forward in cheerful style and laid the money oh the table. The aggregate amount :Was $2500 the largest collection ever made by this church. In March, 1861, there were 33 Methodist churches in Philadelphia, which re ported missionary money to the amount of $13,- 360409. In March, 1863, there were thirty eight churches, reporting $20,408.50, an in crease of five churches, and of $7,131.41 in mis sionary collections, in the course of five years. Congregational. —Plymouth Church, (H. Ward Beecher’s) —The annual renting of pews in this church took place on Tuesday night, Jan. 4. The whole amount rented for 1864 amounted to thirty-one thousand dollars.— — The Springfield Republican says:—A sermon commemorative of the young men of West Springfield who have died in the army was preached, Sabbath before last by Rev. Dr. Pos ter. Taking for his text the words of the Psalm ist, “ They go from strength to strength," he gave a masterly review of the war, and showed conclusively that the Northern armies had made progress, and that the republican cause was full of hope. He stated that 1,800,000 men had been called into the field, and 2,000 battles and skir mishes had taken place, 210,000 men had been killed, wounded or made prisoners since the war began, and yet such was our recuperative power that, in the meantime, 487,000 young men had become of military age.. Eulogy for the dead, hope for the living, and fealty to the Union, characterized the discourse. North ampton.—Bev. Dr. Eddy announced his deci sion to remain as pastor of the first parish from the pulpit last Sabbath. . He stated that, dur ing the first eight months of his ministry here, one hundred and twenty-five persons had been been admitted to the church. Previous to coming here ho had heard, from “ certain per sons of the house of Chloe,” rumors of divisions among the people, but they had proved to be false statements. In the second year of his ministry here he received a call, in which he was offered a salary, $l,OOO larger than lie was then receiving, but ho declined the offer. Baptist.— A new enterprise, has beenst&rted in Washington called Calvary church, which worships in what was once an Episcopal church, but which has become the Law School building of the Columbian College. The fa mily of the Hon. Amos Kendall are very effici ent supporters of this enterprise. A lot has been secured for building purposes, and it is purposed to spend twenty thousand dollars on: the structure. Mr. Kendall is a constant at tendant: he seems to enjoy vigorous health, and is, with Justice Tanev, the only survivor of President Jackson's Cabinet. A glorious work of grace is now in progress in the Wysox Baptist Church, in Bradford Co., Pa: A series of meetings are being held by the pastor,-Rev. S. G. Keim, which has resulted in the conver sion of fourteen souls to Christ, and many more are interested. These meetings seem to grow in interest as they progress; as sinners, under a Divine impulse, now rise from their seats, and earnestly call upon the church to pray for them. Moravian- —Peter Lei Trobe. —The Mora vian says: Wc have cheering news from the College. For some time past, a decided work of grace has been going on in this institution, and many of the students profess to have re cently found the Saviour.—Rev. Peter La Trobe, a well known- Moravian minister in London, has died suddenly at Bartlesdorf, Ger many, in his sixty-eighth year. He was Secre tary to the Moravian missions, and also to that branch of the Moravian Church which ex ists in England. The family of La Trobe has been conspicuous in Moravian Church history, and not unknown in the literature of England for three generations. The deceased’s grand father was a friend of John Wesley, who, in the earlier part of his life and career, showed a strong tendency towards , the Moravian views. His father was well known as a pleasing wri ter. He himself lived and labored ip England; and his zeal, as well as truly genial and catho lic spirit, did much for the securing of wide spread sympathy and succor of Moravian mis sions throughout the world. Of the Evangeli cal Alliance, he was one of the earliest mem bers. In 1848, the Synod of the Brethren had proposed to ordain him as one of their bishops; but he declined, fearing that the office would not only fetter his course of action, but like, wise restrain him from loving intercourse with all Christian denominations. .1 recall, as 1 write these words, the rugged face; made soft by the gentle smile and the kindly eye, the. stalwart form of Peter La Trobe; as I have seen him at various Alliance meetings. And as I think of him, I remember others of the same fellowship,-who have joined the ever-in creasing brotherhood of the skies, and among these, the lamented Sir Culling Eardley, who, comparatively young, passed away last April. Corr. Presbyterian. Presbyterian Missions. The Free Churchof Scotland-— -We have al ready pointed out the seemingly low degree of in terest taken in the work of Missions by the great Scottish churches, in comparison with the zeal, liberality, and activity of. other bodies of >Ghrigti»nhiih England andAtneriesE jf appears PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 1, that there is a falling off in contributions of £4OOO, or twenty thousand dollars as compared with 1857-8. At a late meetng of Dundee Presbytery, a paper on the subject was read, in which the cause of the decline in contribu tions, was inquired into. From this it appeared that the wealth of the country was not dimin ishing, while other funds of the church were in creasing. The writer says : It is evidently of .the utmost importance that intelligence regarding the progress of the Gospel in heathen * lands be communi cated to our congregations. Both suppli cations and thanksgiving will languish, unless our people are well acquainted with the difficulties of toe work, and toe measure of suc cess which the Lord has been pleased to be stow. If we desire.to see a revival of the fer vent missionary spirit of the apostolic Church, we must not neglect toe means of maintaining that fervour which the apostolic Church em ployed. We must “ declare particularly what things God hath wrought among the Gentiles.” He then dwells upon the advantages enjoyed by Societies who hold great anniversary meet ings, in comparison with the Presbyterian Church, while crowds the annual report of its Foreign Mission Committeee into the already full sessions of the General Assembly. “ The members of Assembly, however willing, have really no time to inquire fully into the condi tion and claims of the work; and it is well ifi the Foreign Missions receive for their conside ration more than for the fragment of an even ing, and that towards the close .of the Assembly. The interest in missions, then, does not period ically receive with us that fresh impulse and re novation which is imparted in England by toe great annual gatherings of toe missionary so cieties, and on the continent by animated, and in many ways delightful, missionary festivals." The remedy proposed is monthly or quarterly meetings of congregations for prayer in behalf of foreign missions and for imparting missiona ry intelligence. Congregational and juvenile associations are also recommended. The re turn of Dr. Duff was looked for with interest as bearing upon -the subject. ' * Miscellaneous. —A Mohammedan reply to Dr. Golenso. It is announced that Syud Ah mud, a Mohammedan, who lias written a Com mentary on the Bible, is preparing a full ans wer to Bishop Colenso in his next, volume.— “We live in strange times. Who could have thought to see a Christian Bishop impugning, and a Mohammedan in reply defending, the in spiration and authenticity of toe writing of Moses !”—Letter in Atheneum. Rates of Exchange. —The Christian Instructor says: Some idea may be had of the difficulty of send ing out Funds to sustain Foreign Missionary operations, and the consequent necessity, of highly increased contributions to the Foreign Missionary Treasury, by toe following facte: On the 2nd ult„ toe Treasurer of the Foreign Mis sionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church was compelled to pay $32,797.54 of United States currency, in order to obtain $19,798,15 of sterling money—that is, money that would be of any use to foreign missiona aries. The rate of exchange, then, was 664 per cent. The Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions have had to pay on their reriuttarie'es for the seven months, up to Dec. Ist, $18,772 ; and, if toe present high rates of exchange con tinue, will have to pay-$22,000 more by the first of May next. Our own increased expenses are in the same 'proportion. What a necessity/ then there is for proportionately enlarged con tributions! Daily preaching: A new movement. —The Boston Journal states that a number of gentles men, who are active members of the different evangelical denominations in that city, are about inaugurating a- movementwbichwilhse cure the daily preaching of the Gospel to those who can be induced to attend it. They have have hired the Meionaon for one year for this purpose, and their plan as at present proposed (though it may be modified in the future asex perience shall suggest) is to have a prayer meeting every afternbon, which will be conduc ted by laymen, and preaching every evening by one of the pastors of Boston or vicinity. The plan .meets the cordial approval of Rev. Dr.. Bark, Rev. Dr. Parker, Rev.. Dr. Cushman, Rev. Mr. Bixby, and many others, who will give to the movement their heartiest efforts. A cordial invitation will be given to all the pas of the evangelical churches .to unite in The. movement. MISSION AND POWER OF THE NEWS- [From an article in the current number of the Continental Monthly, on the English Press.] The press is not a thing of Yesterday, for it is the slow growth of two centuries; neither did it burBt;upon ,the: worM.armed at all points, like the fabled Athene. Yet in other respects the, comparison holds good, for the press, like Athene, unites in itself the attributes of power and wisdom combined; it fosters and’protects science, industry, and art; it is the patron of all useful inventions; it is the preserver of the state,, and everything that gives strength ancl~pr.o&p.erity tp.;the, state;; it.-js the champion of law, justice, and order, and extends its protecting aegis over the weak, the downtrodden, and the oppress ed. It has taken two centuries, as we have already said, to make the press what it is ; and a terrible up-hill fight has it had to wage. Tyranny, dogmatism, and into lerance in high places, and ignorance and superstition in low,; have ever been its sworn enemies. .It has had its saints and martyrs, more worthy of canonization in men’s hearts than many written high in the calender of Rome. But though persecuted, crashed, and at times apparently done to death, its vitality was indestructible, and after every knock-down blow it rose again from the earth, like Antmus, with renewed strength. It was. always -a vigorous stripling, and even so far back as the days of David Hume its future greatness and magnificent destiny Was clearly marked out, so that he wrote: 'lts liberties and the liberties of the people must stand or fe,U» together “ liberty' and the press in PAPER PRESS England are convertible terms, and this is the true reason of the success and power it enjoys. It is also the cause, of the per secutions it has had' to undergo. Tyranny and the press are as necessarily opposed to each other as are the principles of good and evil. The word ‘ tyfanny ’is not here intended to refer only to the despotic ru lers of states and kingdoms, but to include the oppression practised by the strong upon the weak, the rich ijpon the poor, the great upon the small, Whether nations or individuals. The press) moreover, is the guardian of social, political, and religious morality. The greatest] as well as the most trifling affairs'which conduce to the well-being and comfort oftpe multitude are eagerly convassed/ Th 6 faults which dis figure and disgrace evenpe most advanced forms of civilization are unshrinkingly laid bare, and the proper repedies prescribed. The political conduct of nations and of public men is carefully scrutinized, and every false step that they may make is im mediately noted, commented upon, and held up to public reprbjbation. Religious questions, although, ejer since the world begun, they have been approached }n a very different spirit t| those of any other description,-and have been debated with greater heat and passion than the bitterest apolitical disputes, and' with a lamentable disregard of logic ana common sense, are now-a-days treated with a candor and fairness that has never yet characterized them. The press is, iif fact, the great phy sician of the mind, wijose duty it is to im part a healthy tone jtd the inner nature of man, to check the ravages of disease in it, and, wherever it may imagine any traces of poison to lurk, to Administer a prompt and immediate antidote. It may not al ways and at once prosper in its endeavors. Wrong-doing may still, in. some eases, prove too strong, vices may have become inveterate, chronic, and the poi son may have betid too completely absorb ed. But not, therefore, is the press dis couraged : like Robert Bruce’s spider, it re turns again and dgain to its. task, and— success does and/toust/flown it in .the end. / i " But while faithfully performing these lofty duties, in the discharge of which it employs the trained minds and practised pens of the. greatest literary talent of the time, the, press other functions, which, if not of such paramount importance, yet possess no small Utility and -value. By no means the.least of these is that of merely furnishing the news.of the day; and that was the .primary, intention of the newspa per its very name proves. Comment, ar . gument, and reasoning were after additions. There are thousandsfof persons at the pre- : sent day even, who patronize a newspa per solely for its ndws, and who do not trouble their heads about any other por tion of its contents. The births, marriages, and deaths are eagerly perused by many who expect to meet in that domestic chro nicle with the naimes of then: friends and acquaintances, 'jche court news and the movements of royalty and the upper ten thousands have great charms for a large section pf the community.. Accidents and offences and sensation headings, such as ‘horrible murder,’ ‘melancholy suicide,’ ‘terrific explosion,’'fatal shipwreck,’ ‘aw ful railroad collision,’ and the like, have powerful,; attractions for that • class which is—alas for v human.nature!i-only-tOo nu merous, and which likesto sup full of hor rbrs—in print. in the;Same‘cattigOry with these fday be placed police news, and the] proceedings in fhe divorce courts the full reports of which are a blemish from which not even the greatest of/English■•.journals are free. There have been foundiable and honest men to defend these reports on the ground of the ‘interests of mortality,’ than which there is not a more abused phrase in print. But to the man of ordinary com mon sense it would appear that more harm than good results from them. Where can the viciously disposed man or the novice in crime apply with better prospects of in struction in the pursuit of his evil designs than to the columns of the newapaperf , fi. is perhaps : nt»t''TOO’’mucii.-to < every two persons wlioiii these' report. -4 , ter from crime: there are- three who have been either initiated or hardened in wick edness and sm. by. their .means.

Schuyler Colfax’s address on taking his seat as speaker of the House of Representatives.

Not only will your constituents watch with strictest scrutiny your deliberations here- but the friends of liberty in the most distant lands will be.interested spectators of your acts in this'greater-than Roman forum. 1 I invoke you. to approach these'grave questions with the calm thoughtfutness of statesmen,.free-, i.ug your discussions from that .acerbity which mars instead of advancing legislation, and with' unshaken reliance on. that Divine power which gave victory to those who formed this Union, and can. give even greater 1 victory to those who are seeking to save it from the hand of the parricide and traitor. I invoke you also to remember that sacred truth which all history verifies, that “ they who rule not in righteousness shall perish from the earth.”- —Thanking you with a grateful heart for this distin guished mark of your confidence and regard, and appealing to you all for that support and forbearance by the aid of Which alone I can,hope to succeed, I am now ready to take the oath of office, and enter upon the duties you have assigned me. 36073? ♦• - “ Preaching is a mystery not less awful and t6rrib|e than that of the eucharist,” 8 64.
