Methodist.— The annual gathering of Sands
street Sunday-school, took place
iu the Church as usual on Christmas Day. 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.

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.

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

“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 <
