Denominational Growth.— The last issue
of the Presbyterian of this city has the fol
lowing editorial notice, which breathes a
fraternal and appreciative Christian spirit.
The North Broad Street Church, whose
lecture-room, is already opened, was over
looked in the survey of the field:
The advance of the New-school Presbyte
rian Church in Philadelphia is constant,
and, we, believe, wisely conducted. A new
church building is going up for the Olivet
Church, in the neighborhood of Mount
Vernon and Twenty-second streets. A new'
church enterprise has been started in the
“Wagner Institute," in Seventeenth Street,
above Columbia Avenue, where a Sabbath
School has been gathered, and where servi
ces are held every Sabbath afternoon. The
Second Presbyterian Church, Mantua, has
been formed in West Philadelphia, with
a membership of twenty-four, and two ruling
elders. The chapel is quite filled, and I
church building will soon be needed In
the southern part of the city, Tabor Church
approaches completion, and will soon be
occupied by the congregation.
We wish we could chronicle a similar ac
tivity in the Old-school branch of the Church.
No new enterprises that we have heard of,
are m contemplation in either of the Pres
byteries of the city.
Call Accepted, — -Mr . James M. Stevenson, a
licentiate of the Presbytery of Troy, New
York* and a member of the last graduating
class at Princeton, has accepted a unani
mous call to the Second Presbyterian
Church of Jersey City.
Father Chiniquy.—The Rev. Mr. Chini
quy, who is now in connection with the
Presbyterian Church in Canada, is on a
visit to Philadelphia, with the view of awak
ening an interest in the" missionary work
among the French Romanists in Illinois.
Various contributions have been made by
churches and individuals. A committee
friendly to the object has been formed, to
adopt measures for the collection of suffi
cient funds for the permanent support of
the Protestant Mission School of St. Anne,
Kankakee, Illinois, which is under Mr.
Chiniquy’s supervision.— Presbyterian .
A New Church Edifice— The Genevan
Presbyterian. Church, on Gates Avenue, corner
Hunter Street, Broklyn, N. Y., was formally
dedicated to the worship of God on Sabbath,
June 19th, under oircumstanceS of peculiar
interest.
The Vaudois Synod, Switzerland.— The
letter of the Italian correspondent 9f the
Evangelical Christendom contains an interest
ing outline.of the proceedings at the Annual
Synod of the Church of the Vaudois at their
principal town of La Tour. "It was opened
by a special religious service, at which
Pastor Meille, of Turin, discoursed eloquent
ly on the parable of the talents. On the
following morning (Wednesday) the Synod
met (the meetings begin at 7, A. M.) to re
ceive reports as to the spiritual life of
the various parishes. They are described
as, on the whole, satisfactory. Three prizes
of 5150, 5100, and $75, were awarded for
essays on the Sabbath, to Mr. Meille, son of
Pastor Meille, of Turin, Paßtor Malan and
Professor B. Malan. The early hour of the
meetings of the Synod is a noticable fact.
Canada Presbyterian Church. —The Syn
od of Canada, held its annual meeting at
Toronto, the third week in June. The
report on the Btalte of religion was full and
encouraging, indicating an increase of
church members and attendance on prayer
meetings; also the general observance of
family worship,
Dutch Reformed.— The Classes of Holland
and Wisconsin, in carrying out the plan to
support a new mission in South Africa, on
the 24th of June laid the keel of a ship of
300 tons, at Holland, Mich., for the convey
ance of missionary families, &c. The vessel
will visit New York, en route to South Africa.
Congregational.
General Convention of Vermont The Vermont
Chronicle in the report of the late meeting
of this body says: “ There are times when it
is more to hold our own, than at others to
make large advances. A.nd the aggregate
' results of our labors the past year will sug
gest the query if this may hot have been
the case during that period. So much, in
deed, is not all that should be desired and
sought, but there is a measure of relief in the
thought that, if we have not made a large
gain, we have suffered no loss. There is
.more or IeBS to be reported that will cheer
and quicken, but thesummiijPof-the whole
will leave us nearly where we were at. the
beginning of the year The whole number
of churches is 152: Of these 38 are desti
tute, 70 have pastors, and 85 stated supplies.
The additions have been 496 by profession,
and 243 by letter, —a total of 712. There
have been removed 689; 424 by death, 240
by dismission, and 25 by exclusion. 214
children have been baptized, and 253
adults. Ecclesiastical Change. —The parish
of the Epiphany, in Cincinnati, heretofore
of the Episcopal order, with Rev. B. K.
Maltby as rector, which was recently organ
ized into an independent congregation, has
received official recognition by the Congre
gational communion. Rev. Mr. Maltby hav
ing received and accepted a call to become
their pastor, was since installed as such.
The Salem (Mass.,) Register says:—“ The
28th day of the present month of June will
be the thirty-eighth anniversary of the set
tlement of Rev. Daniel Fitz, D. D., as pastor
of the South Congregational church in Ips
wich. Dr. Fitz was settled (June 28, 1826,)
colleague with Eev. Joseph Dana, D; D.,
who was more than sixty-two years pastor of
the same church, and who died in Novem
ber, 1827. It will thus be perceived that the
pastorate of these two ministers will com
plete a century of service, should Dr. Fitz
remain in the ministry one year longer m
that parish. Another remarkable fact is,
that a female' member of the parish has
been connected with it during the whole of
Dr. Dana's and Mr. Fitz’s ministry.' She is
now in her 102 d year."

Pittsburg B.ipilsts, Campbcllism and Mormon
,{Sm, —We clip the two following items from
the IV. F, ’ Chronicle \
Pittsburg, the Metropolis of Western
Pennsylvania, is one of the most thriving as
well as loyal cities in the land. Here
Campbellism had its birth, in connection
with the Bedstone Association. Alexander
Campbell was orU’in/tlly of the hard shell
Baptish sobool. In a sermon, preached in
1816, which was printed, he takes the ground
of the Supralapsarmns. Soon after we find
him in the lowest depths of Armmiamsm,
with the dogma of baptismal regeneration
a< *in d iB22, or thereabouts, Campbellism
made its first assault on the then first Bap
tist church of Pittsburg. The church at the
time numbered 115 members, and was the
bnly baptist church in the city.

the. State of New York, falling in with Joe.

plates. Smith interprets, and Rigdon plays

Mormon Bible. The Bible thus published

—The Watchman and Rejector mentions three
Baptist ministers who have lately turned
(or rather have lately come out) Episcopal
ians, viz. Rev. Gr. Howell, Jr., of. Newton;
Rev; P. H. Steenstra, of North Dorchester ;
and Rev. J. W. Bonham, of Woonsocket.
Mr. Bohnam announces his change in a let
ter to the Woonsocket Patriot, with pathetic
expressions of regret at separating from the
Baptists. We think he may as well save
all that; it is altogether best that every
man should go to “his own place." He
avers that he shall continue to preach the
same old doctrines as before, but he does
not say that he shall continue to administer
the ordinances “as they were delivered,”
However, if he and the others can preach
any better for having a “regular” Bishop’s
hand laid upon their heads, by all means
their heads should be subjected to the “ im
position.”
Tiie above from the Christian Secretary,
may be counted a little caustic on Kev. Mr.
Bondam, who had earned a “good degree”
as a faithful evangelical preacher. It is
noteworthy of two of the men named in this
record that one, Mr. 8., is an Englishman,
Mr. Steenstra a German. Both were edu
cated, consequently, under an ecclesiastical
regime quite foreign to Baptist polity. It is
further to be noted that Mr. Howell began
his subsidence from us by an appeal from
the standards of our churches as it respects
the “Communion Question.” It will be
seen how such- facts have their, bearing on
the history of these men. There are con
nected with the Wq|t New Jersey Associa
tion forty-three churches. These are all
supplied with efficient pastors with few ex
ceptions. The church at Beverly has be
come so reduced as to be unable to main
tain a pastor, and the Tansboro’ Church has
only a nominal existence.
Methodist.
Rev. Dr. Bowman, President of Indiana
Asbury University, who was elected chip
lain of the United States Senate, in place of
of Dr. Sunderland, has been selected to ac
company Bishop Janes on his official visit
to the British "Wesleyan Conference.
The Church South. —There is a decidedly
lively view of matters in “Dixie” given by
a correspondent of the Religious Telescope, in
describing a visit to the Tennessee Confer
ence of Southern Methodists:
“The Conference met in an old, unpaint
ed frame church. Around the church, as I
approached it, stood a tew poor horses and
well-worn' buggies. l enfcered, and lo! there
sat the venerable Bishop Soule, and gathereef
about him thirteen preachers! Three years
ago, from one hundred and fifty to two
hundred fiery rebel voices responded to the
roll-call. Where are they now? South.
Some officers and some chaplains in the
rebel army, and others scattered, waiting for
the return of Bragg's (now Johnston’s) army.
They have waited long and are waiting still,
and Sherman’s movements seem likely to
postpone the day still further.
“ As I was the only ‘Yank’ present, I was,
as a matter of course, pretty closely ques
tioned ; but I told them I was from Dayton
—that I knew Vallandigham like a book—
had heard him speak many a time, and had
often seen the markß made on his door when
it was forced open to effect his arrest—and
I was soon made welcome. In the after
noon, however, I took a note of a few things,
and the moment I was discovered writing
down a bitter remark made by the Bishop
about Secretary Stanton, every eye was
turned fiercely upon me, and I shall never
forget those glances. My situation now be
came very unpleasant, but I sat it out, keep
ing an eye upon my fine horse, for I was a
little afraid some bushwhacker in or about
the Conference might spirit him away, even
though I was a neighbor of the celebrated
Val. At about 5, r. m., the Conference
closed. ‘A short horse/ to use a modern
classic phrase, ‘issoon curried,’and I gladly
galloped back to town. I will relate why I
know this Conference to be a rebel, or a
grey-back concern—
“ 1. The ministers were nearly all dressed
in gray-back or butternut cloth. These
colors are worn as a sign here, and for con
science’ sake.
“2- Not one word, not one prayer was
uttered in favor of the government—no? one.
“3. The resolutions passed three years
since, and last October a . year ago, in favor
of secession and rebellion, and unanimously
adopted, were not revoked. They still
stand, and they brand the brow of-every
minister of the Conference as an outrageous
rebel. That is a fact, and it can’t be blinked.
‘.‘The bishop spoke of his respected col
leagues, who are known to be' leading
spirits in the rebellion, in terms of the warm
est affection.”
Episcopal-
Bishop Brownell, the Senior Bishop of the
United States, has appointed Bishop Mcll
vaine, of Ohio, to go to Paris this summer,
to consecrate the new Episcopal church re
cently built there by American citizens, with
permission of the French Government Dr.
Morgan, rector of St. Thomas’ church m
N.YTeity, has been appointed by Bishop Mo~
Ilv&ine to preach the sermon.
The following declaration on the state of
the country, by‘the Protestant Episcopal
Convention of the diocese of Pennsylvania,
was passed after a and acrimonious
debate —such as occasionally breaks out in a
political Convention where party feeling
runs high: v .

gard and instruction; &c.'
Roman. Catholic. —The Right Reverend Bish
op Timon, of has just received a re
strictum from Borne, dated the 19 th of
April, 1864, by which a concession to our
soldiers and sailors, obtained from the sover
eign pontiff, in the Holy Week of 1850, and
augmented subsequently in Borne, is now
continued for ten years. By it all soldiers
and sailors, and their families, in the service
in-the army of the United States are dis
pensed from abstinence all days'of the year,
except six, namely: the eve of Christmas,
Ash Wednesday, the three Jast days of Lent,
and the eve of the Assumption.
Universalist. —The Ambassador i 3 credited
by an exchange paper with the following:
“ Our Unitarian neighbors are - rapidly
comiDg to be Univertalists. A quarter of a
century ago it was very rare for an American
Unitarian to utter a word that could be con
strued in favor of the final salvation of all
mankind. Some were understood to main
tain the popular doctrine of endless punish
ment, some perhaps entertained the notion
that ‘the incorrigible' were finally to be an
nihilated, and others were eminently reticent
with respect to the ultimate fate of the
wicked. Dr. Channing, we think, never,
expressed himself clearly upon the subject,
while Dr. Dewey was even more orthodox
than the orthodox themselves. At the
present time, the great body of Unitarians,
we suppose, are avowed Universalists.”
The Unitarian Christian Register, in publish-,
ing the fact that a minister had been ex
posed for moral delinquency, very justly
remarks: “It is sometimes the policy of a
denomination to cover un and conceal the
sins of its members, thinking thus to save
Christianity from discredit. The only real
discredit to Christianity comes from such
concealment. It was no disgrace to Christ
ianity that Peter denied his master, and
that Judas betrayed him; but if the Evan
gelist had attempted to hide these facts, the
gospel would then have sustained a real
injury.”
Swedenborgian. —The General Convention
of the New Jerusalem Churches of the Uni
ted States was held in New York, last week.
Bev. Thomas Worcester, of Boston, deliv
ered a striking discourse, in which he dis
claimed that, the religious body commonly
known as the Swedenborgians, regard them
selves as the special custodians or recipients
oi the New Church; and stated it as a most
hopeful feature of their belief that the New
Church, in its widest secse, is now descend
ing from the heavens into the hearts and
minds of men in all nations, and of all
creeds, irrespective of ever having heard oT
Swedenborg or any humanly organized New
Church.
The Evangelist contains the following: —A
Summer Revival. —That a revival of religion
should commence or continue through this
season of the year, ought not to be consid
ered a matter for special comment. And
we are happy to believe that eyen the most
fervent and demonstrative of our evangeli
cal denominations is learning so , to in
doctrinate and educate its youth as to
forestall the violent reactions which marked
its early history. A local paper thus alludes
to the present work of grace in one of the
leading Methodist Churches of Lvnn,
Mass.:
“ It has several interesting and somewhat
remarkable features. It began and contin
ues without extra services, at a season of the
year when revivals are scarcely expected,
and already includes among its subjects the
greater portion of the Sabbath School, sev
eral of the officers and teachers, and many
others wljo hitherto have had little interest
in these things. The meetings are singular
ly free from excitement, crowds rising up
dispassionately, and without urging, and
going forward to be prayed for. At a class
meeting held on Tuesday evening, expressly
for the recent converts and seekers, some
seventy-five were present.” -
The North-western Association (Vt.) re
ports seasons of interest in Fairfield and
Enosburgh. The former church was spoken
of last year as “ seemingly to be given over
to infidelity and Catholicism.” This year,
however, it has been graciously visited in
connection with a meeting of Conference
held there, and revived and strengthened
by the addition of nine to its number on
profession, seven of whom were heads of
families. Others also remain to be gathered
in. “ And this work is the more noticeable
as having taken place where there was no
minister.” '
In Carlyle, Clinton Co., 111., there has
been a religious interest awakened, in an
swer to prayer, and for about four months it
has been steadily increasing. At our late
communion twenty-three persons united with
our church on profession of faith. Eight
have since handed in their letters from
other churches, and twenty more will unite
on profession of faith. *
The recent meeting of the New Jersey
Baptist Association at Red Bank has been
followed by a time of refreshing from the
presence of the Lord. The pastor, Bev. Mr.
Middleditch, reaps a blessing in his family
and among his people—a blessing that had
been long withheld.
Decrees Conferred.- I — The Western Uni
versity of Pittsburg, Pa„ has conferred the
degree of D. D., upon .Rev. Daniel March,
pastor of Clinton Street Church, in this city.
The University of New York has conferred
the degree of D. D., on Rev. Robert R.
Booth, of Mercer Street Church in that city;
also upon Rev. Wm. P. Breed, of West
Spruce Street Church, Philadelphia.
East Wiiiteland. —The interesting cere
mony of the ordination of two Elders took
place at this church last Sabbath afternoon,
in the presence of a large congregation.
The sermon was preached by Rev._ W. E.
Moore and the ordainiog ceremony was per
formed by the pastor, Rev. John McLeod.
The brethren ordained were Messrs. Wm.
Briggs and Wm. Davis. This is an encourag
ing indication in the history of the church.

Army Sutlers.
We desire to call your special attention to one of the
most valuablej and saleable articles for the use of the
army—a preparation of medicine that has stood the
public test for more than twenty years, and has become
familiar in every household. This'artide,
“PERRY DAVIS* VEGETABLE PAIN KILLER”
needs no introduction, everybody knows it, the sol
diers know it, and you have only to keep it to sell it
No remedy is more efficacious in curing diarzhea
cramps, dysentary, colds, coughs, slight wounds or
bruises, and many other ailments incidental to a sol
dibr’s life. It is light and convenient to carry, and can.
be resorted to on the march as well as in oamp T without
trouble. Being used both internally and externally, its
value cannot be over estimated—in fact, the soldiers
want it and must have it, and to keep such an article is
, the duty of every sutler,— Louisville Journal.
Prices 35e., 75c. and $l5O per bottle. [947-2t.
JS®- Advice.
“ Direct not him whose way himself will choose;
a Tis breath thou lackest, and that breath thou’Jt lose.”
The bard of Avon was a philosopher, and we shall
follow his advice by advising thosb who will be advised
of us, to procure their clothing at Granville Stokes’
Metropolitan-Hall of Fashion. No. 609 Chestnut street.
43-“ A Slight Cold,” Coughs.
Few are aware of the importance of cheeking a Cough
or “ blight cold” in Us first stage; that which in the be
ginning would yield to amild remedy, if neglected, soon
attacks the lungs. “Brown’s Bronchial Troches’* give
sure and almost immediate relief. Military Officers and
Soldiers should have them, as they can be carried in the
pocket and• taken as occasion requires.
