Not too fast. —The N. Y. Christian Times
(Episcopalian) of last week is responsible for
the following: ;
The public wore startled, Saturday last, by
the announcement in the papers that three
white slave; children, also a colored man Whose
forehead is branded.with the. initials vof hislate
owner’s name,' would be exhibited in the Brick
Presbyterian Church, of which Rev. Dr. Spring
is- pastor, on Sunday evening. Everybody was
amazed, and spoke of it only in exclamations.
That the Lord’s day evening should be select
ed, and the church whore rules Daniel Lord,
the celebrated champion of the Old American
Tract Society, be secured, was astounding,
and, as it " proved, too- strange to be true.
Crowds flocked to the church, but lo’!-it was
closed, and the sexton tried vainly to turn the
people back by announcing that there would
do no meeting-.. -The solution, is this; The
church was secured, for a public meeting in be
half of the “National Freedmen’s Association,”
hutnpta word was said about exhibiting the
inside of the "peculiar institution;” and so,
when the announcement was made, it was too
much for the Doctor to bear, even in his pro
gressive stage of conversion to abolitionism
according’ to Lewis Tappan, and the meeting
was “squelched."
Baptist. —The Baptists of New York num
ber 92,280, with 45 Associations, 834 churches,
771 ministers, -and 101 licentiates. The bap
tisms in 1863 were 8;&40: The Minutes of the’
Massachusetts Convention show the Baptists
of that State to be 34,589, with'l4 Associa
tions, 266' churehes jaud 322’ niiiriisters. The
baptisms of 1803 were 1,014. ——A third Bap
tist church (colored) trim organized at Alexan/
dria, Va., on 5 the J TOth 4 inst. The exercises
were of an exceedingly’ interesting character, ;
The Rev. D/W: G. Bridgeman, pastor of
the Pearl' street 1 church, Albany,"’received
$l,OOO as a New Year’s gift from his people,
and : the chnreh subsequently added $5OO to.
his salary. -- Most of the older Baptist
churches in England n6w practise free com
munion. This change is. attributed by a cor
respondent' Of the Watchman and Reflector
mainlyid the'influence of the lqie Bey. Robert
Hall. The whole number practicing open
communion at first was 60, now it is 136. JB(e
sayß' that John Bunyah’s chapel at Bedford,
where free communion .was practised, “was
not registered as a Baptist but os a Congrega
tional chapel.!’ The whole number of Baptist
churches in England at the close of the last
century was 500, and that it was now increased
to 2,150. Of the later churches the proportion
which exclude from communion all but those
who have been immersed is much less, we be
lieve, than those of earlier origin The Baptist
Home Mission Society having abandoned the
Grand Irigne Protestant Mission, which it had
been assisting ior. twelve; years,, strong efForts
are bSihg mtwle' to retain "the support of the
denomination by-the Baptist, friends of the
Mission in this country. The following rea
sons are urged in an appeal published in the
Watchman and Reflector: “(1.) the
question of communion, all connected with the
churches of the mission are thorough Baptists.
(2.) None other will be received to future
membership. (3.) Some.s-pf the missionaries
and churches now adopt and practice strict
communion views. (4.) Others are sought
after by them as missionaries, although known
to be Strict Communion Baptists . . . , . Let
ns withhold now our sympathy and; aid, and
there istone thing wp. may count on—the grim
thanks of hundreds of interested papist priests.”
——The church at Northampton, Mass., has

On the contrary, the Spirit seems to have de

this work will be better appreciated if we re
collect that most of the these young men are
soon to enter college, and that their influence
both upon their college classmates and upon
the community in after life will be an incalcu

|The good influence is manifested, not only in
the spiritual advancement of the Church, but
in their liberality to their pastor, to whom they
