McPheeters) St. Louik Mo., sixteen were re
cently added.
The St. Louis Presbytery decided at a
recent meeting, that the Rev. Dr. McPhee

an illness of three or four days. He was a
native of the city, of Philadelphia, and com

He removed from Virginia to the city of
Washington, where he became pastor of the
church in Washington pity in which General
Jackson, then President of c the United
States, was accustomed to wokship.
stances soon brought him into collision with
the President, and the inflexible will of
General Jackson was met by a determination
just as inflexible on the part of Di„ Camp
bell to maintain his rights and dignity as a
minister of Christ. A member of Congress,
Judge Ambrose Spencer, admiring Dr. Camp
bell's courage and fidelity in these trying
circumstances, made a successful effort to
secure his removal to the First. Presbyterian
Church in Albany, New York. That con
spicuous and influential position he has
filled for many years with eminent . useful
ness.
Rev. Thomas Skinner, Jr., pastor of the
Reformed Dutch Church, Stapleton, Staten

Congregational.—There was a renewal of
the old United Monthly Concert of prayer for
Foreign Missions at the Park Street church,
Boston, on Sabbath evening. The
churches in the central part, of the city,
comprising the Old South, Park Street, Es
sex Street, Central • and Mt. Vernon
churches, came together on Sabbath eve
ning and re-instituted a mutual 'Monthly
Concert. Rev. Dr. Stone presided, and
welcomed the churches to the old home
stead. Dr. Kirk offered prayer. Rev, Dr.
Adams read the following from a Bengali
newspaper, written by the heathen editor,
advocating the use of the English Bible in
the Government schools: " It is the best
and most excellent of all English books,
and there is not its, like in the English lan
guage. AS evert -point of the •iiugar-cane,
from the root to the top, is full of sweetness,
so every page is fraught with the most pre
cious instructions. A portion of that book
would yield to you =more =of sound morality
than a thousand other treatises on the same
subject. In short, if any person studies.the
English language with a view to gain wis
dom, there is not anOther book which is
more worthy of being read than the Bible."
Rev. Dr. Kirk alluded to the failure, so far
as his church was concerned, of the attempt
to sustain the Monthly Concert by com
mitting portions of the missionary field to
members of churches to collect information.
He spoke of Italy, and the door opened
there for Christian laborers, especially for
Protestant women among those of their
own sex. Laymen are to be associated with

years, since in the West, disboursed on Cal
vanism, under the following analysis :—l.
When a man who is a Calvinist is converted,
it is without`his own consent 2. When a -
Caliinistis converted he does not know it.
3. When le has experienced conversion he
can never'lbse it 4. If he loses his religion
he never had it.--In the late Conference
at Hartford, Conn.,' a resolution was passed
recommending the, General Convention to
abelisA the,` limftiztioh of ministerial appoint

lation. At the same meeting, Bev. G. W.
Paddock, pastor of the, M. EXhurch at Law
rence, Kansas, delivered his lecture on the
trials =and triumphs of Methodism in the
Border, in which he .gave,, a graphic and
thrilling account of the destruction of the
town, including his church, and the butch
ery of 180 citizens, including most of his
own church, and meant to include himself,
by the unutterable atrocity of Quantrell's
raid. The conference and audience gave
him $4OO - on the - spot toward a new church.
—Baltimore Methodism has shared in the in
novations of the times. But recently a step
has been taken which places a new church
back among ancient customs. Mr. Wesley
Starr, formerly a member of the Methodist
roterostant ,-- it latterly of the.
Methodist Bpiebopal Church, recently built
a church on the corner of Poppleton and
Pratt Streets. Mr. Starr clings to the old
peculiarities of Methodism, and built this
church in order that there might be at least
one church in the city where the men and
women should sit apart,' and where the
hymneshould be lined in the old-style. The
church is nearly completed, and has been
presented by its owner to the Methodist
Priiigstal:tr Church, the conditions; in the
rddea-toeingiliat . the-peculiarities abbve re
ferred to shall be forever adhered to within

Baptist —Ort 'Monday last' a meeting was
held, in which the Rev. G. D. Boardman, of
Rochester, was "unanimously "called"> too the
pastorate of the Coliseum church of New
Orleans, and he was immediately telegraph
ed to that effect. The field to be occupied
there is of the first importance in every as

give as many of its best preachers as are,
needed to fill great centres of influence, in
the redeemed South.Examiner.—Twenty
five thousand dollars have been recently ad-:

Freeman, published at ".Woodstock, C. W.,
says there is a growing impatience in Canada
under the rigor of strict communion ; and it
adds that " The Canada Baptist Union is
composed indifferently of Close and Free
Baptists, who virtually agree in the constitu
tion which leaves it perfectly optional with
each individual church to limit or extend
the terms of communion as its own members
may : judge right, without any .interference
from the Union, or frOm any other church."
--The Baptist :Missionary Union have
given a very cordial invitation to Rev. Bap

approaching annual meeting. We hope,
says the Chronicle, the invitation will be cor

Tract Societies,' that those and other benev
olent and patriotic meetings may enjoy the
benefit of hearing one of the most exemplary
Christians of this age, and one of the earli

have all the work he can do, and more too,
without any, co-operation from the church,
and will live upon a very small salary in the

then such a place is, or will be, open to him
soon.—llfr. Spurgeon.:--The London Record
says:—We regret to learn that the Rev. C.
H. Spurgeon, whose popularity as a preacher
continues unabated, was yesterday unable
to officiate in his spacious tabernacle in con
sequence of an illness of an inflammatory
character. The publication of his sermons,
revised by himself, still goes on weekly,
and it is said, although we do not ourselves
vouch for the accuracy of the statement, that
in all ten millionsof copies of these sermons
have been circulated.—Chronicle.—= = Refused
to Receive.—A. Brantford (Canada) corres
pondent of an exchange says, the Baptist
church there is considerably exercised about
the propriety of receiving into the church
two persons, one of whom was baptized by
a Methodist preacher, and the other by a
Baptist layman. The parties were not re
ceived, as over half the church was not dis
posed to recognize the baptism in either
case as valid.
Episcopal—Bishop ilicilvaine has recently
I written a " Prayer for Congregations and
Vestries seeking a pastor," the sentiments of
which are worthy to be remembered by all
churches without an under-shepherd: " Al
mighty God, the fountain of all wisdom,
who haat taught us to seek thy guidance and
help in, all our doings, be Thou our light
and protection in seeking a pastor and
teacher for this congregation. Purify our
minds from all worldly and unholy desires.
May we seek only thy glory, thy truth, thy
Service, the best intests of thy church and
of our souls. Save us, from divisions and
strife and every evil temper and disposition.
Unite us more and more in all brotherly
love and concord, and so guide and govern
us that •We may choose and obtain a faithful
minister of Christ, under whose teaching
and other labors, by the power of the Holy
Ghost, we may grow in the knowledge and
obedience.of. thy. Word, in faith and-love, :
and every godly virtue to the praise and
glory of thy name, through Jesus Christ our
Lord. Amen."—The Church Journal says:

Revivals.—The , Boston Recorder in its

persons, chiefly adults, have professed to be
converted to God, and the work is
. still pro
greasing. The-same good work is now ex
tending to each of the outposts of the Cir
cuit, and many are being, in those places,
converted to God. Altogether, we believe,
up to this time, bearly 200 souls have been
brought under the influence of the saving
grace of tied—and this is only a part.of the
good that is being done; the church has
been greatly quickened and blessed.--
The Baptist churches in Troy and Fredonia;
N. Y. , in of Pennsylvania and the
West, report interesting revivals.—A cor
respondent of the S. S. Times writes from the
Army of the Potomac ; " I can go out At
night-fall, and standing at my tent=door,
can hear the songs of praise coming up from
the different chapels. At all of these, meet
ings are held every night, and at nearly all
souls are being converted. It is a moving
sight when these brave, stalwart men bow
at the altar of prayer. Often they are all
broken down before the - Lord. Sometimes
the tears make little pools on the rude
bench of which they kneel, I told the con
-verts to-day to write home, and tell their
mothers what God had done for their souls.
They said they would. I shall not be pre
sent when these letters reach their destina
tion ; but I can partly imagine the effect.
When that blessed sentence, Mother, God
has pardoned my sins,' is read and re-read
through dimmed eyes, I can almost - hear
the cry of joy, and the prayer, Lord, now
lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, for
mine eyes have seen thy salvation. These
converted soldiers talk a great deal about
their religious parents. I think I have hit
upon a good plan of housing the fruits of our
revival. I ask each young convert, What
church would you join if you were afhome?
Think about it, pray over it, and let me
know.' I then write to the pastor of the
chosen church, and send him the young
man's name, commending him to the
prayers of the members, and requesting the
pastor to write to him. Congregations of
more solemnity and interest I have never
seen. It has been my privilege to witness
many revivals of religion in the churches at
home; but never have I witnessed happier,
evidence of the Spirit's power and presence.
Probably not less than sixty reclaimed and
converted men. haVe in their testi

A richer contribution to Historical Theology has. not
been made, either in this country or Europe, for many
years, than by these noble volumes.— Theological Eclectic.
Fertile as the present age has been in historical works
of the highest merits, few of them will rank above these

There are many, preparations sold under the name of
Bitters, put up in quart bottlek, compounded of the cheapest
whisicey or :common rum, costing from 20 to 40 cents per
gallon, the taste disguised by Anise or Coriander Seed.
This class of Bitters has caused and will continue to Can
as long as they can be .sold, hundreds to die the death of the
drunkard. By their use the System is kept continually under
the influence of alcoholic ,stimulants of the worst kind, the
desire for liquor .is 'created and kept up, and the result is all
the horrors attendant upon a drunkard's life and death.
