Presbyteriau.
Rev- Chauncey D. Murray has been in-
allcd pastor of the Westminster Presbyte-
an Church, New York, formerly under the
! ostorate of the Eev, Pr. McCartce. This
hurch has recently undergone some change
ii its government. Instead of the old Cove
nanter Psalm-book, the one now in use is the
Fame as among the Associated Presbyterians.
The “tokens ” heretofore in use at the commu-'
nion table are done away with. An. organ, to
■ ost $3,000, is building for the congregation.
Rev. George W. Thompson, D, D„ of the
Presbytery of Huntingdon, and pastor of the
arge and flourishing church of upper Tusca
•ora, after a brief and painful illness, was
sailed home to his reward on the 28th of Janu
ary. Pr. Thompson was a graduate of Rut
ger? College, at New Brunswick, N. J., and of
Princeton Theological Seminary, which last
institution he left in 1840. At the time of his
death, he .was a member of its Board of Di
rectors, and a member, also, ef the Assembly’s
Board of Education. He had .been an emi
nently successful pastor, and'frequent and
powerful revivals had occurred under his mi
nistry.
Presbyterianism in New Orleans.— A cor
respondent of the Presbyterian writes from
that city:
The condition 'of Presbyterianism here is
melancholy. Of six churches, only three
are open, and they are thinly attended. The
Presbytery of New Orleans has not convened
for two years, though a quorum is within the
lines. The truth is, a large proportion of the
original members remaining in the city are
schismatics, secret secessionists.
Rev. Dr. Steadman, of the First Presbyte
rian Church, in Memphis, has been ordered
South from that city for disloyalty.
The New Presbyterian Chnrch in Denver
city, Colorado Territory, was dedicated to the
worship of God on Sabbath, the 17th of Janu
ary. At tho time of the dedication, it was
found that between thirteen and fourteen hun
dred dollars were needed to pay the indebted
ness on the church; and, with great prompt
ness, the sum needed was raised by the congre
gation, and the church then dedicated. The
Rev. Mr. Day is pastor of the church, which is
thirty four by sixty-fonr feet, and its cost
$4,375, exclusive of the ground upon which it
stands.
Foreign Items.— Rev. Dr. Quthrie, who is
incapacitated, by ill health, from his regular
duties, has lately visited the Welsh Calvinists
of Bangor, and made an address, in which he
spoke of the reasons for feeling at home among
them.
He had that day read their confession of
faith; and he found they were identically the
same with those of the Free Church of Scot
land. He found that, in its ecclesiastinal con
stitution, it was very much the same as the
Free Church. 'They were called the Presbyte
rian Church of Scotland because they were not
governed by a bishop, which would make it
an Episcopal Church; nor by the great mas 9
of the members, which would constitute it a
Congregatioual Church, but by preaching and
ruling elders; and the government of the Cal
vinistic Methodist Church, with a different
name, was much the same thing. He rejoiced
in this similarity; and he would tell them why.
The last century was remarkable for disunion ;
but he hoped that the next half century would
bo as peculiar for uniting. He was not a pro
phet, nor the sou of a prophet, nevertheless, he
ventured to hope there would be more union
than ever amongst the various Presbyterian
Churches in this island; and he hoped that
God would pour out a Spirit of union upon
them, so that they might be united into one
great Presbyterian Church. He had read the
history'of their church, and he knew how
much they owed to the Methodists of Wales.
Had it not been for them, and the Methodists
of England, and the Presbyterians in Scotland,
religion in this country would have become
extinct.
Union of Synods in Australia. —The union
movement inaugurated, a year ago, last No
vember, by the Synod of Australia, in connec
tion with the Established Church of Scotland,
by which body overtures were made to the
Free Church Synod of E. Australia, and to
the United Presbyterian Churches of Sydney,
for a union into a single synod, has been hap
pily consummated. The Synod of E. Australia
voted to accept the overture at its meeting
last November, only three dissentients appear
ing in a body of thirty members. The articles
forming the basis of the union are brief—recog
nizing the Westminster Confession as the
standard Of doctrine, repudiating intolerant or
persecuting sentiments, and asserting the spi
ritual independence of the church in the ad
ministration of its own affairs. The union will
be consummated as soon as the preliminary
arrangements—chiefly legal—could be made.
The Synod will embrace, it is believed, fifty
congregations. The "Weekly Review says:
“The Presbyterian Church in this colony has
suffered much from its divisions and strifes;
but it is now believed that, in answer to many
prayers, a brighter day of unity and common
evangelical enterprise is dawning."
•Rnglish Presbyterian Ministers Threat
ened ’with Ejectment— a correspondent of
the Weekly Review, January 16th, makes some
very siugular statements as to a movement on
the part of the National Church of Scotland,
by legal proceedings, to obtain posession of
the church property of English Presbyterians
which, they allege, belongs to the Established
Church. He says:
From public rumor, it would appear that
the most energetic measures are being adopt
ed —deputations have visited various districts
of England, meetings have been held, and mis
sives have been dispatched—all indicating that
a concerted and systematic attempt is to be
made to secure all the ecclesiastical property
now enjoyed by the Presbyterian Church in
England which can reached by a
legal interpretation of the title deeds. Al
ready as I am credibly informed, these pro
ceedings have been instituted; and as if re
solved to at the top, the bolt has fallen
on the head ol- onr excellent father the Mode
rator of our Synod, who, after a hfetime spent
in every good work, and after winning the es
teem and B affection of the whole; neighborhood
fa which he has labored is destined, it appears,
with bis family and flock, to be driven from
the home he has endeared and the sanctuary
he has adorned to worship the God of his fa
thers sub Jovefntjido.
A correspondent, in the Review of the 23rd,
expresses doubts as to the correctness of these
statements, and says the removal of the Mode
rator, Dr. McLean’ was not effected by the
members of the National Church; says it is a
simple, but sad illustration of the old adsige—
“New lairds, new laws.” The separate churches
organized into the English Presbyterian Church
were, we beleive, at the time, in some way con
nected with the Church of Scotland, and some
color of a claim on them by that church may
yet exist.
End. of the Cardross Case. —The world
famous Cardross case is at length ended
Mr. McMillan, formerly minister of the Free
Church, and pastor in the picturesque pa
rish of Cardross, declared, .January Bth, that,
old, infirm, and poor, he desires to close his
life at peace with all, and withdraws from tha
contest. In the course of the proceedings, it
has been determined by-law in Scotland. and
we nave no doubt-that it would be declared
law in England, that the Free Churches of the
land have no recognition from the Government
of the country. They are tolerated, as public
meeeings are tolerated; but can neither sue
nor be sued. It was clearly decided that the
General Assembly of the Free Church has no
standing in the eye of the law. In the second
place, it has been established in this case
that the spiritual sentence of a Church Court,
Presbyterian or Congregational, cannot, as
such, be reviewed or repealed by a civil court.
Weekly Review.
The Irish Presbyterian Chnrch consists of
five Synod 3, thirty-seven Presbyteries, (inclu
ding the missionary one of India 547 congre
gations, and 586 ministers. Unfortunately,
there are no fewer than thirty ministers from
whom no replies could be got, and the statis
tics will continue imperfect till means be adopt
ed for them io report. Meanwhile,
there is a return from 498 congregations of
78,302 families, 117, 549 communicants, 2,074
elders, 865 deacons, with a stipend of 27,6747.
3s. 3d., and ministerial incomes of 4.698 Z. ss.

raised in these congregations for religious and
charitable purposes is 83, 5601. The total in

is 33,4031.145. Bd. This does not include the
salaries or endowments of the professors in

At Carlisle, England, on the sth of Janu
ary, there was a joint meeting of the Cumber
land Presbytery of the English Presbyterian
Church and of the Carlisle Presbytery of tbe
United Presbyterian Chtrch. This meeting
was convened for the purpose of holding fra
ternal conference, and engaging in devotional
exercises. There was a full attendance of the
members of both Presbyteries. The meeting
was so pleasant and profitable that it was de
termined to repeat it next year.
Episcopal- — Bishop Odenheimer, of N. J.,
had a very enthusiastic reception at the recent
anniversaries of the Episcopal Church held in
Montreal, in which he by invitation partici
pated. The Episcopal Recorder says:
The Bishop was enthusiastically applauded
upon appearing on the platform of the large
and densely crowded building where the anni
versaries were held. He was introduced to
the audience in a most dignified and friendly
manner, by the Lord Bishop (Fulford) of that
Diocese; and, at tho conclusion of Bishop
Odenheimer’s address, General Sir Fenwick
Williams (the hero of Kars, who commands
the forces in Canada,) moved a resolution of
thanks to our American Bishop, in a speech
replete with expressions of the warmest inter
national good feeling, and a desire, not only
for the restoration of the Union and peace in
our land, but also for tbe perpetuity of the
most amicable relations between England and
the United States. The resolution was car
ried by acclamation with cheers; the audience
consisting of many of the most influential and
distinguished officers of the Crown, and citi
zens of the Province.
She Rev. Dr. Smith, it is officially announc
ed, has retired from the Chair of Systematic
Divinity at Gambier, and has been succeeded
by the Rev. Henry Tullidge. We learn,
says the Recorder, that Christ Church, New
Orleans, has been lately sold, under a decree
of General Banks, for taxes. We earnestly
trust that this venerable and valuable edifice
will not be wrested from the religious uses to
wheih it has been for so long dedicated.
Kentucky. —ln spite of the prevailing troubles,
the semi-annual confirmations in two of the
city churches in Louisville are unusually large;
in St. John’s (Rev. Mr. Talbot,) 12; in Christ
church (Rev. Dr. Craik,) 17; the semi-annual
average of the former parish for the last ten
years being 9, and of the latter 15. A cir
cular sent out by Rev. J. F. Garrison, Secre
tary of the Diocesan Board of Missions of
New Jersey, says that the Board has been en
abled to clear off all the outstanding debts due
the Missionaries of the Diocese, and report a
net balance in its favor* of $225,82. Mr. Gar
rison says:
We need better support for those who are
in the field. It is a shame which should scald
our cheeks to blistering, that we deal with our
missionaries as we do. Under the old dispen
sation, the ox who trod the grain was never
muzzled, that he might not be made to suffer
want while he was- laboring; but we forbid onr
ministry to labor with their hands as the
Apostle did, and refuse to give the toiling
missionary even sufficient to provide for tne
necessities of decent poverty.
Mr. Oscar B. Thayer, late a Methodist
minister, in charge of the church in Dixon, 111.,
has publicly announced his withdrawal from
the Methodist Communion, and has applied to
be received as a candidate for Holy Orders in
the Episcopal Church. In making the an
nouncement to his congregation, Mr. Thayer
stated that for four years the subject of his
authority to minister to the people had been
one of anxious and prayerful interest, and that
after the fullest and most careful investigation,
herwas now convinced of the invalidity of his
present ordination; that ho had no more au
thority to baptize their children or administer
the Holy Communion than they themselves
possessed; and that if he would still continue
the exercise of the ministerial office, he must
first receive ordination at the hands of those
whose authority to ordain is unquestioned.
Fobkign Itbmb. — Grace Church, Rome
lialy Says the Christian Times: Angling,
ADELPHIA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1864
of the citizens of the United States, resident
and sojourning in Borne, was held at the apart
ment of the United States Minister, General
Bulbs King, on the evening of Dec. 28, for the
purpose of electing a Rector and a Yestry for
the ensuing year. Rev. C. M. Butler, D. D.,
was chosen Rector and a vestry headed by
General King elected. Mr. King has kindly
procured an apartment with accommodations
for the services, and will extend every aid and
facility and protection in his power, to the
more permanent establishment of the Church
in this important position. The Church
Journal says: The judgment in the Essays
and Reviews cases yet hangs fire mysteriously.
It is said, that the two Archbishops firmly re
fusing to join in letting the Essayists off, thft
matter is to be considered afresh.
'Baptist. — Prof. William, Gammell, LL. D.,
following the example of Professors Caswell
and Chase, has resigned his connection with
Brown University. Prof. Gammell became a
member of tbe Faculty of Brown in 1832 as a
tutor, and in 1835 was appointed Professor of
Rhetoric, wbieb continued to be his position
until 1850, when he was elected to the chair of
History and Political Economy. Rev. A.
P. Wood, of Ritchie, West Va., informs the
Examiner that the Baptists of that section
hitherto in connection with the South, can no
longer work with their old associates. The
wicked rebellion has rendered it impossible.
He is pastor of three churches of 200 members,
almost all of whom ore loyal to the govern-'-
ment. They look to the North for missionary
aid and for publications. -Liberality and
its natural Results. —Rev. E. S. Davis, of Hol
land Patent, N. Y., received $lOO from his
people January sth. Union meetings with the
Presbyterian Church are being held and con
versons are occurring. Rev. L. Hall, of Mans
ville, N. Y., received $llO from his
Eleven conversions are reported. Rev. A. T.’
Cole, at Rushford, New York, has re
ceived $230 from his people, and several conv
versions give hope that God will do greater
things for them. Many other pastors are re
ported in the Examiner as still receiving
tokens of regard for their people.
Baptist Statistics. —ln the minutes of the
36th anniversary of the Pennsylvania Baptist
State Convention there are represented 17
associations and 33 churches unassociated,
embracing a membership of 41,438 in all;
churches, 418; baptized during the year 2,356.
The receipts into the Treasury of the Conven
tion were $4,932,30, and the expenditures
$4,426,41. These figures reveal the painful
fact, that the forty thousand Baptists of this
great State are not awake to the interests of
the Convention, and to the claims which the
neglected have upon them. The minntes re
veal other startling facts.# Such as that there
are thirty-one county seats without a Baptist
church; eleven counties without a Baptist
church; eight with only one each; seven with
only two each; six with only three each.
The report of the Baptist State Convention of
lowa shows an aggregate menihership of 12 ,-
393, an increase of 101 on the previous year.
The baptisms number 825, ministers 175, and
churches 276; four churches, forty-six minis
ters, and fifteen baptisms more than hist year.
The eontributions of the churches Sminfro
$2,590,46.
Baptist Missions. —Up to Jan. 31,1864, the
receipts into the Treasury from all sources,
including contributions to the Jubilee Fund,
weife about $48,000, against about 43,000 for
the same period last year. It will be neces
sary to raise not far from $60,000 during the
months of February and March, to meet the
appropriations of the current year.
Methodist. —The N. Y. Christian Advocate
knows of but three M. E. Churches out of fifty
three in that city and Brooklyn free from debt,
and thinks $250,000 a low estimate of the
amount of indebtedness. Wesley Chapel,
Baltimore, gave $llOO at the missionary col
lection Jan. 31st, an increase from last year of
$950. This is considered the most remarkable
contribution to the Missionary Society given
by any church in that city. The subscrip
tions to the church papers and periodicals
among the M. E. Churches of Baltimore are in
creasing. We noticed last week the return
of Bishop Ames from the South, where he has
been endeavoring to introduce loyal Methodist
preachers, with authority from the Secretary
of War, to use churches abandoned by the
rebels or used by disloyal persons, While tie
Bishop was in New Orleans it was announced
that he would preach in the Carondelet Street
M. E. Chnrch. The Bishop went, but the se
cessionist authorities of the chnrch filled the
pulpit with another preacher, and left the
Bishop sitting in the congregation. A letter
from New Orleans in the Advocate says:—
“ General Banks has given directions for all
the Methodist churches to be taken, under
direct orders from the Secretary of War. They
will all be closed save two.” The Missionary
Society will send preachers to fill the pulpits.
——Says a correspondent of Zion’s Herald :
Cheering to every lover of Zion is the spirited
and liberal manner with which the people in
all quarters have met the increased demands
of. the great mission cause. From all sections
we hear of augmented contributions; and
this is the more noteworthy, as all are aware
their outgoes for living, et cetera, are larger,
much larger than heretofore.
German Reformed. —The Messenger says:
The Board of Visitors of the Theological
Seminary finding that Dr. Nevin could not be
obtained to supply the place of Dr. Schaff
during his two years’ absence from the Semi
nary, after mature deliberation, the Board
unanimously invited the Rev. Thos. G. Apple,
of Greencastle, Pa., to accept of the position.
They also raised the appropriation to benefi
ciaries from one hundred to one hundred a»d
twenty dollars.
Miscellaneous. —Churches in Chicago. —
The Western Episcopalian thus enumerates
the churches built, in progress, or repaired
during the last year in Chicago :
One of the largest places of worship which
have been erected is that by the first Unitarian
Society, costing some $50,000. The architec
ture is of the Norman style, built of Athens
marble, and is massive' in its details and pro
portions. Its dimensions are. 76 feet by over
100 feet in depth. When completed, it is to
have a massive tower of 150 feet in the height.
The audience room js intended to seat comfort
ably 740 persons. This room is lighted main
ly from tha roof, through 48 lights in the ceil
ing. The Romanists also are building another
line church, which, when completed, wiil cost
over §50,000. The Methodists are building a
fine church, 44 by. 100 feet, to cost $20,000.
This church is of stone, in the English Gothic
style. The Presbyterians have erected one
church costing $3OO, (?) and improved and en
larged another at an expense of over $20,000.
The German Lutherans have erected a neat
frame church, costing over $7OOO. By the
Episcopal Churches, comparatively little has
been done in the way of church extension.
The Bishop’s Church has been highly ornar
mented, but its capacity has not been increased.
St. John’s Church has been greatly enlarged
and improved at an expense of $4OOO. This
church is of wood, capable of seating over 600
persons. It is very neat, though plain, and is
crowded with worshippers. The congregation
of Grace Church has built a commodious frame
Gothic rectory, costing about $4,500.- During
Dr. Clarkson's absence in Europe, the congre
gation of St. John’s Church took the opportu
nity greatly to enlarge and improve their rec
tory, at an expense of §2,500. On Christmas
day, the members of St. James’ surprised their
beloved rector by sending him furniture and
other good things to the amount of some
$1,200. A. Mr. McChesny, of Brooklyn,
has, within the past fortnight, given several
lots of ground and $15,000 toward a new en
terprise in that city, to be called “The Rescue
and Home for Little Ones.”—— Competitive
Theology. —ln the annual meeting of the Board
of Overseers in Harvard Collegj#he following
preamble and resolution, moved by Rev. James
Freeman Clarke, was adopted:
Whereas, It is desirable that, in this uni
versity, the important branch of Divinity should
be open to all denominations, in order that
the studentsof Christianity may hear the dif
ferent views on all the important points at is
sue among Christians; therefore
Resolved, That a special committee of five
be appointed to consult with the corporation
and faculty of the Divinity school, to see what
methods can be taken to give a truly univer
sity character to the theological department,
by inviting all Christian denominations in the
State to endow professorships therein, to be
filled by suitable men among themselves; and
this committee is requested to report at the
next annual meeting of the Board.
Army, and. Navy- —Seven persons were re
cently baptized atTthe Mariners’Bethel, Phila.,
Rev. Joseph Perry, pastor. Six of them were
sailors from the receiving ship Princeton.
They were of six different nationalities, and
some of them speak intelligently three or four
languages. They form part of the crew of the
U. S. steamer Wachusetts, which sailed last
week. Meetings were held on the Princeton
and Wachusetts recently. Great attention
was paid to the Word preached, and some rose
for prayer.
Revivals. —There is a powerful work of
grace in the Baptist Church of Pemberton,
.Me, .Forty-seven persons presented them
selves for prayers at one of the meetings,
twenty of whom were young inen. God is
greatly prospering that venerable church, un
der the labors of its excellent pastor, Rev. L.
G. Beck. At South Berwick, in the same
State, a glorious work has been in progress for
some time; the work is, increasing and spread
ing throughout the town, while scores are
anxiously inquiring what they shall do to be
saved. Skeptics, scoffers, and stout-hearted
infidels are bowing before the Prince of Prince.
There are some very remarkable instances of
direct answer to prayer mentioned in connec
tion with this work. Many other churches in
Maine are encouraged by favorable indications
of the outpouring of God’s Spirit. The
Christian Advocate and. Journal gives a long
list of jffyivals in every part of the M. E.
Church. The most numerous cases of conver
sion occurred at Mt Holy,; N. J., (110); at
Heding Church,;Philda., Rev. A. Manship,
(120); at Freeport,,Pa., (nearly 100); Salem
Circuit, Pa., (150). In many other places
thirty, fifty, sixty, and seventy conversions are
reported. The liberal souls have been made
fat; many revivals have occured in immediate
connexion with donation visits of which the
Methodist clergy seem to have had their share.
The Presbyterian of this city is glad to
chronicle signs of the descent of the Holy
Spirit upon the churches. The revival from
the midst of which Dr. Thompson went up to
the glory and praise of heaven, was extensive
and powerful. The Tusearora church has
witnessed many such scenes, but none more
blessed and solemn than that in which its pas
tor closed his ministry. The church of Middle
Spring, in the Presbytery of Carlisle, Rev.
Isaac N. Hays, pastor, has also been refreshed;
and" an unusual interest, we understand, exists
in the church at Danville, Pennsylvania, of
which our friend, the Rev. C. J. Collins, is
pastor. The church in Carlisle, Kentucky,
has received a gracious visitation, by which it
has been re-united, quickened, and quite a
number gathered into its fold; and the Bben
ezer Presbyterian church, in Green county,
Kentucky, has also enjoyed a delightful work
of grace.
Foreign-
France— The Emperor is much disturbed
by the demand for greater liberty in France
made by such men us Thiers and other mem
bers of the Opposition. He took the occasion
of presenting the Cardinal’s hat to the Arch
bishop of Rouen, to say, with evident refer
ence to Thiers and his colleagues of the Oppo
sition: —
Your eminence must, like myself, be aston
ished to see, after so short an interval, mem
who have only just escaped from shipwreck
again calling to their aid the wind and the
tempests.
And he intimated his determination not to
yield by adding:—
But God too visibly protects France to allow
the genius of evil again_ to agitate her. The
circle of our Constitution ba,s been broadly
traced; every bonest may inove in it atnis
ease, since every one bas fcbe faculty of ex
pressing his thoughts, or controlling the .acts
of the Government, and of taking his, just
share in public affairs.
At the ceremony of giving the Cardinal’s
hat, the hat fell to the ground, and the Prince
Imperial took it up, and nearly got it on his
own little head before it could be taken from
him and placed on the Archbishop.
England.—The Weekly Review, referring to
recent statements derogatory to the literary
standing and respectability of the present
class of candidates for the Episcopal Church,
says:—
We might fairly ask, when was there such
a supply of learned clergyman as, taken with
all their drawbacks, the present system sup
plies to the Church of England? We are apt
to fix our minds on the great lights of the
pasts, and to fancy that all their contempora
ries were like them. But it was not so. It
was far otherwise than so. Macaulay tells us
what the mass of clergymen were in the time
of Chares 11. What they were in the days of
Queen Anne may bo seen in the pages of
Swift, as well as Addison. The Parson Trul
liber of Fielding was not wholly a caricature;
nor is even his Parson Adams exactly the
model of a rural vicar. The fact is that the
standard of clerical attainments, as applicable
to the mass, never stood so high as now; and
it must fall a long way down before it reaches
to the boosing, bargain-making, or fox-bunting
clergymen who were so familiar to our grand
fathers, and not unknown to our fathers.
Romish Chaplains in British Prisons.—
In the course of the discussions now going on
in England on this subject, the curious fact
was inadvertently brought out, that a large
proportion of Romish prisoners refused to see
their own priests, and preferred to put them
selves under the care of the Protestant chap
lains.
Churches in London.—The city of London
with a population of nearly three millions of
people has 807 evangelical places of worship,
or one to 3,500 inhabitants. These churches
accommodate an average of 800 hearers. The
established church sustains 371 of these places
of worship, with average accommodations each
for 1000 hearers,—The Independents have 140
chapels; the Catholics only 35.
Rev. J. G. Quicken, American Baptist Mis
sionary in Europe, at last accounts, was about
to proceed to St. Petersburg to see the few
Christian converts there —the Russian Direct
ing Senate having reversed a late decision of
the District Court of Courland, inflicting pun
ishment on two persons for preaching Baptist
sentiments. The ukase of the Emperor for
bids the restraining of Baptist preachers by
force, declaring such force all the ‘ ‘ more to be
deprecated in a doctrine of religion which
may later find acknowledgment.” So great
an advance on the late policy of the Russian
authorities has been hailed as a wonderful
sign by the baptists of Hamburgh, and the
devoted Oncken loses no time in trying to turn
it to the best account.
The New Archbishop of Dublin.- —When
Dr. Trench first arrived in Dublin, he called,
a perfect stranger, on the celebrated Dr. Lee,
Professor of Divinity, at his rooms in the
college, and, in a quiet, modest way, said:
“I presume, sir, you are the Rev. Dr. Lee?”
The other answered he was.- “I wish you, ’’
rejoined the stranger, “to preach my conse
cration sermon, and,” he added, “to confer
the favor on me of becoming my chaplain.”
Dr. Trench had known Dr. Lee only as a pro
found divine, and by his book on Inspiration.

OLD SABBATH-SCHOOL BOOKS.
Second-hand Sunday-School Books, if in
good condition, can be used very profitably by
onr Publication Committee in the Western
States. And so also can old Church Psalmists.
In some of the older churches those without
the Supplement have been replaced by the
later edition: such hooks would be of use in
our frontier churches. Perhaps a good dona

Hymn-Books and Sunday School Books would
meet the want as well. But the second-hand;
