A LAST LOOK AT THE GREAT FAIR.
On Saturday night we made our last
use of the privilege of entree into the
great Sanitary Fair, accorded us through
the courtesy of John Welsh, Esq., the
indefatigable chairman of the great sys-
Li
tem of committees, by which the extra
,- ordinary exhibition has been achieved.
Admitted to the music stand at the
west end of the Union Avenue, we
enjoyed in a single glance that which
had passed in fragments before our eyes
in many preceding visits. In fragments
it was more beautiful than anything we
had ever beheld ; as a whole, it was
magnificent as the dream of a poet
architect; it was a gorgeous pageant
like an old-world festival. The grand
archway rose before us, a perfectly
novel combination of lightness, vastness
and grace. A myriad of gas jets, a
myriad, as it seemed, of banners of all
commonwealths and nations, with our
own rich national colours outshining all
the rest, flashing arms and trophies
grouped in fanciful combinations upon
wall and pillar, formed a perspective
which melted together in the dim dis
tance in a perfect wilderness of enchant
ment. A .multitude of visitors thronged
the grand avenue, in constant motion;
beautiful 'forms and faces and dresses
gave their own indescribable animation
to the scene ; a perfectly drilled orchestra
poured forth, in rich voluptuous swell,
the fascinating airs of' S trauss ;—how
could we help a thrill of regret, as we
listened and gazed, that, like all things
bright and beautiful of earth, that too
so soon must utterly disappear?
One
,could not help thinking of the
famous lines in " Tempest."
Our revels now are ended. These our actors
Are melted into air, into thin air;
And like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherits, shall dissolve ;
And like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a . rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made of, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.
As an exhibition, this Great Central
Fair has surpassed the expectations of
its most sanguine friends. In fact there
has been nothing in all the Fairs or
Exhibitions of works of art, or skill, or
curious interest, on this continent, which
for a combination of excellences, has
equalled that just closed in our city.
The gallery of over one thousand draw
ings and paintings gave some adequate
idea of the art galleries of the Louvre.
The trophies gathered - from a,,hundred
battles on land and water, of the revolu
tion, the war of 1812, the war with Mex
ico, and the present fierce struggle 'with
'ebellion, were of most extraordinary
interest. Therelics of Dr. Katie's expe-
Sition, of the William Penn family, :the
Family coach of Washington, and a thou
hid carious, objects disinterred from-In
-I,P, Pl.oqncla and from the 4.1 ? - h T ,.il t

by some of its friends. The Christ-
Commis3ion, however ; i 3 in uo need
of such assistance. It was, in fact,
never so prosperous, financially, as since
this Central Fair began to be agitated.
Thus the wants of the army, more ex
traordinary than ever before, have been
better supplied than ever by the in
creased activity of the friends of both
Commissions.
It is worthy of note, as characterizing
the people from the States of New,
Jersey, Delaware, and Pennsylvania,
brought together by the Fair, that Gen.
McClellan has received so little atten
tion in the voting for the sword and
other articles submitted to the popular
decision for award. Pennsylvania gen
erals, of a very different character, bore
away the prizes.
SECOND PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH,
MANTUA.
. This church, which has heretofore
had but a nominal existence, now as
sumes the form of an organized body.
The chapel, built three or four years
ago, for Sunday School purposes, has
been open for preaching, Sunday morn
ing and afternoon, since the first of
January: Previous to that there had
been but one service, and that sustained
somewhat irregularly. A good congre
gation has now been gathered, and the
attendance is steadily increasing: The
chapel has sittings for upwards of two
hundred ; but even now there is need of
ampler accommodations, and the church
is looking forward to the time as not far
distant When their let, reserved for that
purpose, shall be occupied by a large
church.
At the close of the last month the
enterprise, having attained sufficient
stability to demand it, two elders were
elected, and regularly inducted into
office. On the first Sunday in June the
first communion service was observed;
at which time - thirteen were, added to
the church by letter, and three on pro
fession of their faith. The season was
one of great interest and promise for
the new church. The whole member
:ship is now twenty-four. The number
of children in the Sunday School is over
one hundred and fifty.
This church is
„planted in a section
rapidly increasing' in population, yet
destitute of churches; and. has a wide
field for usefulness. We rejoice in its
prosperity and its rich promise for the.
future.
REV. ,TAMES M'OASKIE.
- 4
At a meeting of the South-western
Presbyterian Church, held on the 13th
day of May, 1864, Mr. Alexander Gam
ble having been called to the chair, a
letter from the pastor, the Rev. .Tames
Mcoaskie, who eight months previously
had with his family returned to Ireland,
his native country, for the benefit of his
own health and that of Mrs. .bicCaskie,
was presented and read, praying this
eaurcia to unite with him in asking.
Presbytery to dissolve the pastoral re
lation existing between him and the
people of his charge. The principal
reasons assigned by Mr. McCaskie for
this request are :
1. His enjoyment of superior, i l eal , „l,
in his native land. 2. Th.:, age mid in
firmity of his parents and the necessity
of his re.lnaining with and protecting
Ahem in the decline of life and superin
tending their secular affairs. 3. The
prospect of a field of labor opening up
for him, where he can be actively en
gaged in the work of, the, ministry, and
at the same time make his home under
the parental roof; whereupon the fol
lowing preamble and resolutions were
Unanimously adopted,
Whereas, From the foregoing it would
seem that the way of our pastor is, in
the providence of God, hedged up, against
his return to his field of g labor, and that
regard for his own health, and the duty
that he owes. to his aged : and infirm
parents, he - being the only sou remain
ing at home with them, seems to justify .
and render expedient . the course he has
adopted; Therefore,
Resolved; 1; That influenced by esteem
for,
and a sense of duty to, our beloved
pastor, and unwilling to appear reluct
ant to follow the leadings of Providence
in the case, we unanimously, although
with unfeigned sorrow, -concur with
him in his petition to Presbytery to
have the existing pastoral relation dis
solved.
Resolved, 2. That we take pleasure
in embracing this opportunity of unani
mously and cordially bearing testimony
in strong terms to his Christian charac
ter and gentlemanly deportment, and
to the untiring zeal, fidelity and effi
ciency with which, for the space of
twelve years, he labored to advance the
interests of our church, and that our
constant prayer is, and will be; that the
great Head of the church will open to
him a wide and effectual door of use-
fulness in another part of his vineyard.
Resolved, 3. That as a church and
congregation we unite in expressing our
heartfelt sympathy with him under the
very painful bereavement with which,
since he left us, he has, in the provi
dence of God, been visited, in the loss
of the beloved partner of his life—the
worthy wife of a worthy husband—and
we fervently trust and pray that the
vacancy thus made in his home and
heart, will be filled by the more abun
dant indwelling of the Holy Spirit, the
Comforter.
PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 30, 1864.
Resolved, 4. That a copy of the pro
ceedings of this meetings be sent to the
American Presbyterian for publication.
Resolved, 5. That Messrs. Alexander
Gamble and John A. Cowan be com
missioners to represent this congregation
at the coming meeting of Presbytery,
to be held in the Presbyterian House,
in Chestnut street, on the 15th of- June
at the hour of 12 o'clock.
By order of the meeting.
ALEXANDER GAMBLE, Chairman
May 31, 1864.
IS OUR ARMY PROFANE?
Most of our correspondents and ~,o f
persons conversant with the army say
it is, and that to a fearful extent. We
are beginning to hear lately of some i
dications of a better state of things.
The testimony of Rev. T. 11. Robinson
on this point, which will be found .on
the inside of the paper, will not be over
looked by our readers. Here is a worii
from Rev. B. W. Chidlaw to the Evangl'-
list, in regard to .returned Illinois volun
teers, of similar encouraging import.
During our stay at Springfield,
some 1200 discharged . soldiers, whose
term of service had expired, received .4
grand reception. They were the heroeS
of many battles, and made a fine appeari
:ince. Mingling freely in their midst,
my ears heard no profanity, nor did I'
see a drunken soldier in the grove or on
the streets. Our brave boys can and do
sustain their manhood and their charac
ter, and return to their homes to be
honored and respected for moral worth
as well as trne heroism.
. It gives us the highest pleasure to
record such testimony, and to aid in re
lieving those of our - brave soldiers who
do not deserve it, of the charge of out
. _
rageous profanity Which has hitherto
been made justly we fear—against the
mass of the army. May the exceptions
multiply until they become the rule.
PAPERS FOR THE ARMY.
The response to our appeal, three
months ago, for funds to supply chap
lains in the army and hospitals with the
American Presbyterian, was so liberal
that we have .been able to keep up our
list to the present time; and we have
now sufficient funds for all hospital chap
lains on our list, for another Quarter;
but our means for supplying army and
post chaplains are exhausted, and we
appeal to our friends to furnish its the
needed funds to continue this supply.
We especially hope our friends in Dela
ware will remember the Post-chaplatn at
Fort Delaware, Rev. E. T. Way, and en
able us to continue forwarding, that
package, which he feels to be so impor
tant to the .success of his work there.
We are sending Packages to three
Pennsylvania regiments ; anal- to the des-.
titute portions of East Tennessee lately
opened by our armies. We also fill a
large order for the Christian Commis
sion every week. Persons sending
money can indicate to which, of th ese
objectS they wish or can
name any other object they prefer.
REV. 7 ..c..A.IIGUSTUS SMITH.
We fire Informed that this brother has
d.ecided to accept the call of the'Mantua-
Nrille Church, in. this city. This an_
nouncement will be received with pleas
ure by Mr. Smith's numerous friends;.
who have been desirods of retaining a
man of his excellent spirit and decided
abilities in the neighborhood. We have
no hesitation in saying that the promise
of usefulness given by Mr. Smith, is un
surprssed by that of no young minister
of our body, with whom we are acquain
ted ;. and we congratulate . the Mantua
Church upon the • acquisition. Mr.
Smith will be installed on the last Sab
bath of July.
AT the commencement of the Western
University of Pennsylvania, the trus 7
tees conferred the degree . of Doctor of
Laws (LL.. D.) upon Benjamin. Frank
lin Palmer, of Philadelphia, also, of D.
D. upon ReV. Sohn Brown, of Pittsburgh,
.They. also voted to establish a chair
of " Physical culture, Anatomy, Physi
ology and Hygiene;" and elected Wm.
M. Cornell, M. D.. LL. D. of Philadel
phia, to that,Professorship. Dr. Cornell
has fong made these subjects a special
study and will no doubt be found well
suited to the position.
Not a few friends of the board will now
look, with interest and solicitude, from
month to month, to the acknowledgments
of donations, and other receipts by the Trea
surer. The " Appeal," issued with the June
Herald, of course did not reach the churches
in season to affect their action, to any con
siderable extent during the month of May ;
nor, probably, bad the previously published
statements respecting financial prospects
fallen under the notice of many, before they
made the contributions which reached the
treasury during that month. But the fact
that the receipts for the month were butlit
tle more than $37,000, less than $6,000 in
advance of those for the same month last
year, and near $23,000 less than the average
amount announced as needed for each of the
four last months of the current financial
year, should be prayerfully pondered. Only
three months now remain,—(there will re
main but two months for action,—July and
August,—when this is read,)—and for these
three months an income of more than POO,-
000, riot, far f.o,u $70,630 per month will be
AMERICAN BOARD.
Receipts in Nay
needed to prevent embarrassment. The
price of gold - has been still; all along, tend
ing upward. In other words, the value of
the money which is sent to the Treasurer,
for alt purposes of supporting the missions,
has been still dep rec i a ting. The fi n anci a l
prospects of the Board are therefore more
and mere threatening. Who will come
promptly to its relief, remembering " the
words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is
more blessed to give than to receive ;" and
remembel jug also that He, though he was
rich, for their sakes became poor?
Items of Intelligence.
ZoLus.-11r. Lindley, of Inanda, writes
respecting that station, February 3: " The
Spirit of God has been with us. The week
of prayer, last month, was the means of
bringing on .us no small amount of blessing
from above. Recently we have received into
church fellowship eight new members and
one, who was under censure, has been re
stored. These all are married persons . ;—
five males andlour females. A few others
have asked for admission, but we think it
best to leave them for the present, where
they are."
.aIAURATTAS.—Mr. Harding wrote from
Sholapoor, April 12. "In my letter of
January 12, I mentioned that there were
several inquirers at Barsee. Last Saturday,
four persons from that city came here, ask
ing for baptisM ; and on the Sabbath, after
a very satisfactory examination, three of
them, two men and one woman, were re
ceived to the church. We praise God for
these first - fruits of our labors in this region.
Our work was commenced at Barsee especi
ally for the Mahars, but we have not been
able, as yet, to exert any perceptible influ
ence upon them. These converts, and oth
ers who are inquirers, are all from the higher
castes."
Mr. Ballantine announces the admission
of twelve persons to the church at Ahmed
nagger, on the first Sabbath in March.
Me.n RAS. —Mr. Winslow, writing March 12,
,and reporting the mission work at Madras
for the previous year, mentions the addition
of seven persons to the church at Chinta
\drepettah, states that the schools and' con
gregations are in as good a state as they have
been for the last two or three years, but says
the mission suffers constantly for want of
more strength, and pleads earnestly for rein
aorcement. In a more recent letter, he re-.
ports the admission of three other persons
to the same church, on the.3d of April. One
of these was a girl, sixteen years of age,
whose parents were both heathen, and who
is now an assistant teacher in the girls'
school in the mission compound. It was
expecte,d that one or more would be receiv
ed to the church at Royuparam, April 17.
'GREECE. Communion Administered - to the new
King.—On the 13th of April, Dr. King wrote:
" Last week an event transpired which was
to, me most unexpected. The King sent
for Me to administer the communion to him
in the, palace, it 'being the Easter week of
the Greeks. Early on Friday morning, the
Marshal of the Palace called on me, men
tioning the desire of the King, and asked
if I would be willing to perform the service.
The next morning, at hillf past ten, the
King's carriage was sent for me, and took
me to the Palace, where I performed the
service in his chapel. Two or three minutes
after my arrival, the King entered, and as I
bowed to him he came and gave me his hand
'ln a cordial manner. The King and others
being seated, rstood in front of the altar,
and made an address appropriate to the
occasion,_ of about half an. Apur.. To this
they. gave the strictest attention, and
during a part of it, the King seemed to be
moved even to tears,"
, After service the King parted with the
rnission , 'y in the same cordial manner and
vent him home in hist carriage. It is a mat
ter of gratification that the new monarch
ihould request the services of so true and so
Evangelical a minister on such An occasion.
MADURA. Converts from. Romanism.— The
Annual Report says, that in Madura one
lalf of the communicants, and in Sivagunga,
ana, Madura,, ;and rn
nd Tirupuvanu, 55 per
sf
ns, or five-sevenths of all the communi
cants received haVe been from the Roman
Catholies.—Caste.—Of the fifty odd castes
prevailing more or less in this dist' ict, twenty
six are represented in the congregations of
the mission.—There are now eight native
pastors, seven of whom are still connected
with the churches over which they were first
ordained and " all the churches work har
moniously with their pastors-" Two pastors
were ordained within the year. The contri
butions reported for the last year amount to
1,604 rupees, 15 anas and 7 pice, ($802.)
CENTE&L TURKEY.—Mr. Wood, Secretary
of the Board, wrote from Aintab, April 16:
" Aintab is indeed a wonder in missionary
histiry : Last Sabbath we saw 1,101 persons, .
--014 women •and grey-bearded men; and
maidens and-wives,as well as children,—in
the Sabbath schoo, on a rainy day.. The
exercises were well conducted, and a deep
interest was manifested .in them. There
must have been more than 1,2410 in the lore
noon"congregation, and nearly as many in
the afternoon,—as good listeners to preach
ing as I ever saw. The senior pastor, .Kri
kore, and his associate, Polat Avedis, are
certainly men who would be deemed re
markable anywhere. It is delightful to see
the simplicity, earnestness, and evident
effectiveness with which they preach, and
especially to note the affection and confi
dence winch marks their bearing towards
each other: The work of evangelization
goes forward most ene,ouragingly, with the
single exception of the delinquency of , the
people in, making upthe,salary which they
have promised to their pastors.- Here is an
evil which it will cost much labor to correct.
"There are thirteen young men in the,
theological school, of whom eight now com
plete their course, and are to be lidensed 'its
preachers. In an eXamination - to-day, and
in private intercourse, they have exhibited
qualities of mind and heart which it delights
me to see."
EASTERN _ TUREEY. Bitlis. The station
report says: The moral changes that the
gospel has already wrought in our own field
'seem almostincredible, even to us who be
hold them, Protestants are making-restitu
tion Of Money and goods,' obtained by fraud.
when they Were. Armenians, and are now
learning that, in their trade and business"
relations, godliness is profitable unto
things:. And thepower of the truth, and
their example, are fast changing the busi
ness principes of the. whole city; fraud is
much lesi common than formerly. In the
early part the year, we had the most
severe case of persecution to'report that has
occurred in the history of our work. The
Pasha was removed from office for the part
he took in it. - We have recently examined
eleven persons for church membership; and
of these, probably six or seven will be re
ceived now, and others after a short time.
This'will be the first evangelical church or
ganised in our field.
KNARPOOT. Missionary Spirit among the Con
-verts.—One of the most hopeful tokens for
good at present, is the active missionary
spirit developing among the people. Bible
and missionary societies have been formed
at the station and several of the out-stations.
A fund
. is contributed to the Bible societies
by the members, as a working capital ;
books are purchased by the wholesale, at
twenty per cent discount; and the members
engap nersonally in From eight to
twelve members of the congregation, or
even more, go out from the city every Sab
bath, two and two, to the neighboring vil
lages. Each one of the out-stations is be
ginning to assume the responsibility of
caring, to some extent, for the villages in
its oivn neighborhood. Even the boys in
one station, ( flogbi) have an evangelical
society, and are doing good by their labors.
Light Reaching all Dark Places.—There is
thus no corner of the land, however remote
or dark, which is not being penetrated by
the light of the gospel. The whole Arnie
niennation is being evangelized, though but
comparatively few are willing io incur the
odium of confessing.themselves Protestants.
The fetters of ages are falling from minds
disenthrallecl. Let Christians pray that the
Spirit, in his converting and santifying
power, may be granted to these waking
souls; and that they may find strength and
grace to come out from thevirorld, and con
fess Christ and the truth before men.•
