digiono alaidli#tate. Presbyterian: Presbyterianism in Boston, Mass.—At a late con2Munion , 'season in'the First Pres-' byterian Church• in Boston, in which Rev. E. A. Del ancey is ministering, eleven per sons were ~added 'to the church, nine by profession of faith. One of this number was a convert from Romanism, and the administration of baptism in this-ease was witnessed with great and tender interest. At the last communion in the First Presby terian' 'Church in East Boston . , (the Rim Haskell's,) there was an addition of seventeen members, most of them by pro fession of faith. These churches are grow ing stronger, and the. favor of God' Seem§ to , be resting upon them. Presbytery of New Orleans.—The Pres byterian has received information that the Presbytery of New Orleans lately held. a , meeting, the first which has been held since the possession of ..the city by the Union forces; and that the Presbytery resolved to detach itself from the Generin. Assembly of the Confederate States, and. declare 'itself an independent body. Rev. W. M. Rice was installed pastor of the Fourth Church, Philadelphia,on Sabbath evening, 10th inst. Resignation.—The Rev. T. C. Anderson has offered his resignation -as pastor of Rehoboth church and congregation. Death of Dr. lifcCarrel.—This venerable man died arhis residence in Newburg, N. Y., on the 29th ult. He was well known to our Associate Reformed readers as an able preacher and the Professor of Theology in the Seminary at Newburg. He was op posed to union with the Associate Church, and with a few adherents kept up the old Associate Reformed organization. In this he continued until his death. He was much respected for his piety and learning, was especially beloved by his students, and through them exefted a powerful influence in the church. Dutch Reformed.—The Board of Missions of the Dutch Reformed Church have issued an appeal from New York urging immediate contributions to prevent the accumulation of a heavy debt. Western Churches Unsettled.—Many of the churches of the northwest, like not a few in the east, have suffered in numbers and in spirituality from a cause connected with the war. Some find fault with their pastors, because they preach too much about the war, and go too much into detail in their prayers for the public men, and for the army and navy. Some find fault with the very same pastors, and with others, because, as their hearers think, they do not preach and pray enough about the war and the public troubles. A morbid ultraism seems to prevail on every hand, which the most judicious and godly servant of Christ cannot satisfy.—Presbyterian (O. S.) The United Presbyterians and the Chris tian Commission.—At the quarterly meeting of the Philadelphia Presbytery . of the. U. P. Church on Monday, the 28th ult., the fol lowing just and timely resolutions were passed : Whereas, the United States Christian Com miseion has been for a long time in. opera tion ; and, Whereas, the operations of this society are coiducted on .01fristian plea, and contemplate the welfare not merely of the body, but also of the soul ; and, Whereas, much of the labor of the agents in its employment is gratuitously bestowed ; Therefore, Resolved, That in the judgment of this Presbytery; the United States Christian Commission has peculiar claims upon the regards of the Christian community, and that contributions made to it promise to effect the greatest amount of good to the temporal and spiritual interest of our sol ditto in the /Limy. CongregationaL—District Secretary.—The Rev. J. P.

In about five minutes the whole amount was virtually , secured, leaving just a little sum of two or three hundred dollars to be supplied by several willing absen'tees.—An Iron Church.has been erected - in London for the accommodation of the Congregational So ciety, of which the Rev. H. D. Northrup, formerly of Brooklyn, is pastor. It will hold more than one thousand persons,— Rev. , Dr. Batton, pastor of the First Congre gational Church in Concord, N. H., preached his thirty-ninth anniversary sermon on Sun day, March 27th. He is the early pastor of Rev. E. E. Adams, of this city, and has re cently been preaching in his pulpit.— Sunny Side.—Rev. B. G. Northrup, Assistint Secretary of the . Massachusetts Board of Education, has received a check of $l,OOO, from a Boston Merchant and a personal friend, designed specially •as a token of ap preciation for his efforts in behalf of educa tion.—The Sabbath Schools in San Francisco are well cared for. The leading school has been the First Congregational, but the Howard Street Methodist now takes that place, the average attendance there last month being 554. The First Congregatkmal had 410, the Second 178, the Third 202, and the Fourth 133.—Rev. Mr. Condon, of Dallas City, Oregon, pastor of the Congregational church, an-out-post toward Idaho, from the West, was lately inveigled into his church in the night time, surprised aild compelled to take $5OO in gold coin ; and next day some gentleman waylaid him in the street, took hini into a store- and clothed him from head to foot.—A Correspondent of the Port land Mirror who attended service in Dr. Ne hemiah Adams' Church recently, has the following in regard to his new hymn book, "Church Pastorals:"—" At the opening of the meeting Dr. A. gave some account of the origin and character of.the :hook, It con tains 988 hymns. Dr. Watts justly takes the lead and has furnished 238 hymns ; Charles Wesley, who ranks next to Watts, 99, Dodridge 39, Montgomery 35, while New ton, Steele, Cowper and others have fur nished their contributions—six of the nine principal authors were ministers. This book had been on his mind for twenty-five years; it had occupied his leisure for the last six years, and his last two vacations, especially. He had greatly enjoyed communion with Watts. His hymns are found in the body of his works. ' He wrote a sermon and a hymn to go with it, and his hymns , had a wonderful effect on the popular mind in his day."— Congregational Statistics:—The number of Con gregational churches reported in the loyal States is 2,729; of which 830 have settled pastors, 768 stated supplies; 610 not speci fied, and 495 vacant. There are 2549 minis ters, of . whom 632 are not in service. The total number of church members is 254,200, of whom 164,037 are females: 3;392 adults, and 4;406 Infants have been baptiied.

The only Sabbath-school in Maine reporting over - 500 members, is the Rev. Mr. McKenzie's, Augusta.— Stirring One Another Up.—A few Week& ago the independent expressed the hope that the Congregational Quarterly:would be rather more religious. Now the lowa News Letter gives the New Yorker a friendly nudge; How the _lndependent is made up.—The Independent is a forty-eight column paper. Glancing at the last number, (Feb. 11) we find less than seven columns filled with reli gious matter, including a sermon by Henry Ward Beecher, occupying three and , three fourths columns, which leaves about three columns for miscellaneous religious reading. About twenty-four columns are filled with advertisements,, including, twenty-four dif lerent kinds of quack medicines. The re maining seventeen columns are filled. with secular matter, with a sprinkling of morals and poetry.. It is true a larger rpro portion, of this •number is taken up with advertisements than usual, but not to the ex clusion of the usual amount of religious matter. In glancing back over several num bers we find the average of religious reading to be little less than one-sixth of the entire amount. Query Is a paper which is five parts secular and one part religious a religious paper=? if so, may it not be that a "Sunday religion," which is. made up of six parts worldliness and one part piety, is the correct religion ? Methodist. —We glean from Zion's Herald two or three items which follow : Teetotalism is progressing among the clergy of the Established Church of England and of the Wesleyan Methodist Church. The writer informs us that he himself had recently been invited '° to attend,a meeting of Wes leyan abstainers, to consider the expediency of forming a temperance association to be composed of Wesleyan ministers, local preachers and class leaders." That is cer tainly encouraging. We pray the Lord to extend rapidly in that powerful ecclesiastical body the .moral power of total abstinence from all that can intoxicate,--Methodist Soldiers.—We have learned from a perfectly reliable source that one-eighth of all the soldiers in this war from the State of In diana are communicants of the Methodist Episcopal Church. That State has furnished over 109,000 soldiers up to this date. The Government must be greatly indebted to the Methodist element in putting down this rebellion, not only to the Methodist sol diers in the army, but to the powerful influence of this energetic and loyal denomi nation at home.—The Father of Major- General Slocum, an earnest Christian man, living among the mountains of Northern Pennsylvania,, and now 60 years old, went recently to Waverley, N. Y., the seat of the Wyoming Conference, distant sixty miles from his residence, -to witness thesession of an Annual Conference and- see a- Bishop, neither - of` which had he - ever seen before. He has long been a devoted member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He has given eight sons to the army, three of whom have been killed in battle, and the remaining five are still in the service of their country. Two of those who fell were members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. May the blessing of God and of the country long rest upon the noble sire and his patriotic sons. —Appeal of the Christian Commission.—Let every Christian and every friend of the soldiers carefully read the appeal of the Christian_Commission. fo_tha- clergy .of New England. Louder and more earnestly than this would the soldiers appeal to us if they could make their voices heard. Brethren and friends, hear, feel and act.—Dedication in Nevada. —The new Methodist Episcopal church in Virginia City, Nevada Territory, was dedicated by Rev. M. C. Brim's, on Sunday, February 14. Eight thousand dol lars were raised on the occasion toward de fraying the cost of the erection.- -Southern Bishops.-11p to this time, says Zion's Herald, all these bishops (Soule and Kavanaugh included) are among the disloyal, for in that class they must remain; whatever may be their private sentiments,until they openly renounce the Confederacy and swear alle giance to the United States Government. Tennessee.—The Rev. M. J. Cramer was sent to Nashville by Bishop Simpson to secure and occupy McKettdree Chapel and the German Church of ,the Church South. They have been tripled over to him for the use of the church, but having been occupied for, military purposes it will take some •time. and. considerable expense to fit them for religious services... --At. the Close of .the Prayer Meeting, in Tabernacle.

Coombe, a. covered . basket which contained a very handsome set of silver. —.Dr . and Mrs. Palmer, are now laboring in Boston. They have recently concluded a series of meetings at Lawrence, Mass., at which ninety persons have been converted or otherwise blessed. Eaptist—The Strong Place churcli, of Brooklyn, have given their pastor, Dr. Taylor, a respite of seven months from all pastoral duties, and what is better, he has been given, by a warm personal friend, •s. small farm near the Hudson river, a few miles above Newburg, on which he will spend his seven months in proving what a "little farm well tilled" can do for the health of an overworked pastor. The church continue his salary and supply the pulpit during their pastor's absence.—The Bap 'lists are making . unusual preparations for their anniversaries, to be held in this city the third week -in May. The American Baptist Missionary Union will celebrate its Fiftieth Anniversary at that time.--Rev. -A. H Arnold, D. D., of Westl3ofough Mass." and formerly missionary to Greece, has been. elected Professor of Biblical Exegesis in Madisori University.—A Jubilee' Indeed.— The Chronicle says that the contributions to the Missioriary Union in New York and Philadelphia are much larger than in any previous year. One church gave a check of $5OOO, and many others are doing in like proportion. These are the facts to give interest to our approaching Jubilee Meet: ings. Episcopal.—Farewell Missionary-Meeting.— Quite a stirring meeting was held in Gam bier, to bid farewell to Messrs. Burrows and• Hartley, about starting for Africa. Prof. Bancroft made an earnest address, express ing the hope that this might inaugurate a new and continuous era of missionary zeal in the Seminary. Mr. Burrows spoke a few parting words.----atriscian Times.—The Bev. Lawrence H. Mills has accepted a unanimous call to the rectorship of St. Ann's Church, Brooklyn, and has .formally resumed the duties of a position which he has acceptably filled since the death of: Dr. Cutter, whom he assisted in the ministry. This church, which is the oldest Episcopal Church in Brooklyn, is yielding to the necessity that compels churches to follow the movements of congregations, and is about to relin quish the old building and erect a new edi fice on the•heighti.—Two Foreign Missiona ries addressed the students of the newly established Divinity School in Philadelphia, and urged upon them the, importance of organizing a Missionary Society in connec tion with the institution. The writer has recently learned from one of these students PRIGADELPIIIA, VEMRSDAY, APRIL 'l4, 1864. that they have resolved to establish such a - society, upon the basis of that which existed for so long a time at the Alexandria Semi nary.—Episcopal Recorder.--The American •Church Missionary Society, which is patronized by-the Evangelical or Low Church party of the Protestant Episcopal Church, has re cently established a missionary paper, The .Register, which promises to be a valuable ad dition to our 'missionary periodical litera ture.--The Church.—The .Episcopal Recorder publishes a communication, from which the following is an extract:--" The only Church universal which the Scriptures tell of, and our standards know, is holy and invisible the only Communion of Saints - 2 There is no other: = The doctrinn , of a visible Catho licity is the fruitful parent of a progeny of errors. Whatever it may do for others, it certainly works sad havoc with the Episco pal mind. The Episcopalian who adopts it can only be saved:fro - hi Romanism (as many have been) by a happy obvliviousness of logic. Do you ask'me how? The argument is In a nutshell. As an Episcopalian, he believes that every Church has, or ought to have, a Bishop at its head. An universal Church, then, must to him imply the Bishop of an universal Church. In other words a uni versal Bishop—that is to say, a Pope." 310111Vialt—The Moravian in North, Caro- lina.—We have seen a letter, says the Mora vian, from Salem, North Carolina, dated the 27th of. Januiry. It reached the North in a little more than two weeks. This letter states that Bishop Bahnson's health " is failing very much, and that in consequence the Principal of the Young- , Ladies' School, Rev. 'Rohm de Schweinitz, the Assistant Principal, Rev. M. Grunert, and the Ad .ministrator of the Unity's Property. Rev. E. A. de Schweinitz, are obliged very fre quently to fill his place in the pulpit, at tending in fact to nearly one-half the servi ces. Since last autumn Bishop Bahnson is acting pastor of the Salem Church. His son, Henry Bahnson, who was taken pri soner at Gettysburg, has been parolei, and at the writing of the letter was in' Salem :------ Evangelical Association.—The Church Papers. —They publish three periodicals in this country, viz: The Christian-Ambassador, the Evangelical Messenger, and the Child's Friend. The, first , circulates about 15,000 copies, the second about 7000, and the third about 9000 —in all over 30,000. The whole membership does not exceed 50,000. The Messenger is their English paper, and as the great major ity of their members are German, it must be a fact, that nearly every English family per taining to•them reads their church periodi cal. Instead of being satisfied with this, they are endeavoring to increase the circula tion of their papers, to 40,000. W hen we consider., the number, of their membership, the brief period of their rise, their progress in periodical iterature is astonishing. If we are not greatly mistaken, their German paper circulates more copies than all the German Lutheran church papers in and out of the General Synod, put together. They are also making a beginning in this direction in Germany, the first number of a new de nominational paper having just appeared.— Lutheran. Observer. Revivals.—A correspondent of the Pres byterian in Missouri sends the following: " It gives me great pleasure to be able to, inform you again of most precious works of grace in the bounds of Palmyra Presbytery. I have just returned from a meeting at Ash -ley, in Pike.county,whez , e-the Lord: - ina . greatly blessing his people for a Month or more past. There have been in all about forty hopeful conversions. The church was without a pastor, and for two weeks the meetings were conducted as prayer-meetings by one of the elders.t Indeed, the work is, for the most part, the result of the blessing of God upon the earnest and faithful labors of this one ruling elder. In the same county, the Grassy Creek Church has been much re freshed and strengthened, and many souls have been turned to the Lord. In Shelby ville, the Lord has, in like manner, blessed the church with showers of, grace."----The church. in Hightstown, New Jersey, has been favored with a season of much interest on the, subject of religion. A- number of per sons have been added to the church, and the interest continues. A Meeting of much, interest is, inprogress in the church at Paris, KentucleY; 'of which Rev. D. 0. Davies is pastor. Sixteen have already united with the church. The .Fourth Church in "Louisville has just closed a Meeting of some interest, ten persons having been added'to the church. Hdneyoe Pa/ie.—God has been graciously pouring out his Spirit on this village and community. Five weeks - ago we united in extra meetings, which have been continued every night, and the interest seems to be deeper and wider than at any time during the meetings. More than forty have found, the Saviour, and still they con tinue' to come. It seems as If the. work had just begun. Some have heen out to these meetings who have not been known to go to church for 20 years.--- )Connecticui:—ln the congregation .of , Rev.' Abraham Marsh of Tolland, Ct., a series of meetings, says the Recorder, was commenced in the latter part of February, which has been continued to the present time with most encouraging results. Ministers from neighboring places have been called in to assist, Messrs. Wilcox of New London, Til lotson of Putnam, Jennings of North Cov entry, and Kinney of Westford. The work has been confined mostly to the Sabbath sctiool. Some entire classes have been hope fully converted, and the whole number of converts a week or two since was xeckoned at twenty-five, There have recentivbeen fifty or more conversions in connection with the. Congregational church in Ellington, and about the same number in S'Omers, Tolland county, and a good work is now in progress in the two churches in Rockville. At Win chester there has been a powerful revival under the ministrations of Mr. Parker, an evangelist,:• 150 •conversions are reported. I --Western Virginia.—Notwithstanding na tional daiculties in this new State, the Lord has`been doing great things there within the last few months. In two neighborhoods, within:two months,.there have been between 75 and 80 conversions.—The work in New ark, continues to deepen in connection with Mr. Hammond's labors.—There is a decided work of grace in progress in the Reformed Dutch Church of Ithaca. Special meetings have been held during the past week to meet the increased spiritual de mand, and as many as thirty have presented themselves already as anxious inquirers. A considerable portion of these are begin ning to indulge a hope in Christ. The good work is extending to the Presbyterian church, and they are to hold meetings also during the present week, besides co-opera in ting various union efforts. The prayers of God's people are requested. for the pro gress of their salvation.—A very interest ing work of grace is now in progress in the Second Reformed Dutch Church of -Tarry town. Since the middle of January more than fifty conversions have taken place. At the last communion twenty-six were received intNthe church, nineteen of Whom were on confession of their faith.

Not long since,.the former, who is a Unitarian- Universalist, returned a rale-sent letter to his Methodist brother with this endorse ment on the envelope : " There is no 'L' in my name and no Hell in my religion." On Thanksgiving day, however, this gentle man held forth as follows : " I know we must not overlook the dealers in shoddy of all kinds, whether to eat or wear-:-who do not come withii& any theory of universal . salvation you may have heard any time advocated in this put. Shoddy comes from the devil, and those who suppy it to our gallant men go to the, devil. Broad is the way, wide is the gate; it is a steep incline—there are no brakes on the train, and it' serves them right." The levity of language ex cepted, such instances of a re-considered theology, in certain circumstances, are com mon. Thosewho deny - the future punish ment of the wicked are apt to blame those who receive it, as governed in their behalf by bad temper toward their fellow-men ; while often, in a moment of excited feeling against some of their fellow-men, who are very wicked to them, they themselves admit that "if there is no hell, there ought to be for some people." We know of no orthodox instances of temper governing 'belief like these !—The Boston Recorder contains an advertisement by W. H.

These Parsees are the de scendants in the East Indies of the Fire-wor shipers, driven .otit from Persia on account of their religion. RESERVE OF CHRISTIANS. The reserve of Christian men in re gardo to relicrious matters, towards the , irreligous, impresses the latter unfavor ably both towarpTeligion and the char acter of its professors. Every other thing in which men take an interest they talk about; lit this is ignored. It the, heart be fu ly sensible of the value Of piety to itself; if it have any appreci ation of its valae to others; if it - have any, generous pr mptings towards, the spiritual well-be,in of others; if it have any sense of thei danger without it,— then out of the- bundance of such a heart the tongue ill speak. In a sense, every man of Gophould be an evange list. The impent(ent, who are accus tomed to hear theitruth in our sanctua ries, will be likely to receive with profit ; its reiteration from he lips of friendship, And to that large i ptiiner2 eVerywhere, who live, within the sound of the,chnrch g6ing bell, but who - rarely cross church thresholds, how useful would be the 'dis creet, faithful, and loving voice of Chris tian warning, invitation, entreaty, and instruction! Coming from the unpro fessional, it would enlist confidence and disarm hostility. When the " bride" says, "Come," many will respond to the call; and the " waste places" of empty pews will often be filled. In the ever-ripening harvest fields of the earth, manly reapers should every where go forth, " bringing their sheaves with them." Sohn, full of the love of Jesus, said, " Behold the Lamb of God !" "And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus." "And one of the two findeth his own brother, SimGn, and brought him to Sesta." " . . findeth Na,thanael, and saith- unto him, We have found him of Whom Moses in the law did write • Jesus of. Nazareth. Come and see." Even the woman of Sa maria, in the newness of her knowledge of Christ, could run with alacrity among her fellow-citizens, crying, "Come, see a man who told me all things that ever I did. Is not this the Christ?" And, if the testimony of such an one led many of the Samaritans to believe on him, are there not trophies of grace to be won from the enemy for Christ, by those who have long tasted that the Lord is gracious ? Why should not our laymen go abroad, in the fulness of their ex-peri ence, and -in the earnestness of their love, saying, like David, "Come, all ye that fear the Lord, and I will tell you what he hath done for my soul ?"—Our Laymen. pivertistmtnts.

Joseph Pastor of the Tenth Baptist Church. Da. Jecitsos—Dear btir : I have- been frequently re quested to connect my name with commendations of different kinds of medicines, but regardieg the practice as out of my appropriate sphere. I have in all cases declined; bat with a clear proof in various instances, and particularly in my own family, of the 'use of Dr. HoOfland's German Bitters, I depart for once from my usual course, to express my full conviction that, for general debility of the system, and especially for Liver Ctenpiaint, it is a safe and valuable preparation. In some eases it may fail ; but usually, I doubt not, it will be very beneficial to those who suffer from the above causes. Yours, very respectfully, J. H KENNARD, Eighth st., below Coates, Phila. From Rev. Warren Randolph,Pasior of . Baptist Church, Dn. C. 1./. Jemmy—Dear ,Sir: Personal experience enables me to say that I regard the German Bitters prepared by you as a most excellent medicine. In cases of severe cold and general debility I have been greatly benefitted by the use of the Bitters, and doubt not they will produce similar effects on others. Yours truly, W. RANDOLPH.

Jecasox—Dear Sir: Having used your German Bitters in my family frequently, I am prepared to say that it has been of great service. I believe that in most cases of general debility of the system it is the safest and most Minable remedy of which I have any know ledge. Yours respectfully, J. H. TURNER, 726 North Nineteenth street. Prost the Rev.. Thomas Winter, Pastor of Rozhorough Baptist Church: Da. Jacusort—Deaf Sir: I feel it due to your excellent lireparation—Hootland's German Bitters—to add my testimony to the deserved re_pvtation it has obtained. I have for years, at times, been troubled with great disorder in myhead and nervous system. I was advised by a friend to try a bottle of your German Bitters. I. did so, and experienced great and unex pected relief. My health has been very materially Benefitted. I confidently recommend the article where 'I meet' with cases similar to my own, and have been assured by' many of their good effects. Respectfully yours, T. WINTER. Roxborough, Pa., December,lBsB. Frain Rev. J._Netofr Eciftr of the Ency- dopoidia of Religious Knowledge Although not disposed to favor or recommend Patent Medicines in general, through distrust_af -Aleuts and effects; I yet know of no sufficient reasons whya nian_nia.v not_testify to the benefits he believes himself to have received from any simple preparation, in the hope that he may thus contribute to the benefit of others. I do this more readily in regard to Hoofland's German Bitters, prepared by Dr. C. M. Jackson, of this city, because I was prejudiced against them for many years, under the impression that they - Were chiefly an alco holic mixture. I am indebtedd to my friend, Robert Shoemaker, Esq., for the- removal of this prejudice by proper tests, and for encouragement to try them, when suffering from great and long continued debility. The use of three bottles of these Bitters, at the beginning of the present year, was followed by evident relief, and restoration to a degree of bodily and mental vigor which I had not felt for six months 'before, and had almost despaired of regaining. I therefore thank God and my friend for directing me to the use of them. Philacla., Tani 23,1861. J. NEWTON BROWN.
