DEDICATION OF NORTH BROAD ST
CHURCH
This interretting ceremony took place
according to announcement, on Sabbath
evening last. An immense audience,
was in attendance, thronging every
available part of the building. The
services were of a high order and well
sustained throughout.
A full cholr, led by Mr. A. R: Taylor,
nobly performed their part of the exer
cises and filled the house with rich har
monies, the peculiar shape and loftiness
of the ceiling giving additional effect to
the music. The invocation and opening
hymns were by Rev. T. J. Shepherd,
'Reading of the Scriptures by Rev. John
Patton, D. D., Prayer by Rev. John W.
Mears; Sermon by the pastor, Rev. E.
E. Adams, D. D., on Dent. xxxii.
" Ascribe ye greatness to our God"-a
discourse which glowed in every part
with the grandeur of the theme, and
which ably answered the demands of
the occasion. The dedicatory service
found in , Lowis' Manual was here intro
duced, the whole congregation rising to
avow their wish and purpose that the
new, spacious, and beautiful building
should' be appropriated to 'the worship
of the Triune God. The prayer of ded
ication was tnen offered, by Rev. John
McLeod. Mr. McL. preached the -
first
sermon (four years ago,) before the
founders of this enterprise, then, some
-seventeen in number, exhorting them
not to despise the day of small things.
He was happily present to enjoy proof
of the wisdom of his advice. After ap
propriate music from the choir, the im
mense congregation was dismissed with
the benediction by Rev. Dr. Patton.
Thus has been consummated one of
the most important, prosperotis„ and
promising church enterprises ever Under
taken: in our city. The central loca
tion; the character of the material which
has steadily been accumulating ; the
wealth without either vulgar display or
lofty pretension or overweening world
liness, but joined rather with largeness
of heart and Christian friendliness of•
manner; the groat acceptableness of
Dr. Adams, as
. pastor and preacher, and
finally the attractiveness and commodi
ousness of the building, are elements of
prosperity which, with the divine bles
sing, must ensure to the church a career
of signal usefulness in this section Of
our city. The Synod of Pennsylvania
will meet in this church on Tuesday,
the 18th of the present month.
MORE KIND WORDS.
HAMILTON COLLEGE, CLINTON, N. Y.,
July 22, 1864.
REV. JOHN W. MEARS-illy Dear Sir :
Enclosed find $2 (two dollars) my sub
scription for the next year., I wrote
you some time ago that I could not
continue my subscription. But I cannot
now think of depriving myself of your,
paper. We all think very much of
it. By we I mean our household.
It is the best paper we read. I have
heard also in Utica from a number of
your subscribers there, that they esteem
it far more readable than any religious
paper they see. I have never heard
any but the most favorable opinions,
expressed of it. You have my very
best wishes for the increase of your
patronage, and my good words if they
will avail anything. Very truly.
FROM WISCONSIN
I cannot close without expressing my
great gratification with your paper, its
marked improvement since its enlarge
ment, and its vitality. I hope to do
something for you in the matter of its
circulation, and perhaps send you some
thing for its colunans. Yours fraternally.
FROM -PITTSBURG
PITTSBURG, Sept, 8. 1864.
DEAR BRO. MEARS : It is not in my
heart to take advantage of your liberal
offer in case of prompt payment. I en
close you three dollars, ($3.00) which is
subscription to July 13, 1865. And now
let' e say that in my judgment you
have gone very far toward making the
American Presbyterian a model paper.
I am surprised and delighted at the
marked improvement.
Keep to the present size of your sheet.
Keep to the Rochester correspondent. Keep
to rich variety. Give even added vonn
to your leaders. And advance your terms
again, if need be. Heartily.
FROM KENTUCKY
The American Presbyterian is indeed
a welcome visitor. I hope we have the
rebellion "on its last legs" and slavery
crushed out with it. God grant that
we may never relax our hold until the
last vestiges of both are thoroughly and
totally eradicated.
rnoikt A PROMINENT CLERGYMAN IN NEW
YORK CITY
NEW YORE, Sept. 15, 1864.
DEAR BRO. REARS : And now a word
about your paper. I have been want
ing to say to you, for some time, that I
regard it as one of the very best papers
that comes, to my office. Your matter,
editorial as well as selections are all
good. I hope you will succeed in these
times. , '
S. S. CONCERT IN REV. MR. REEVE'S
CHURCH.
We learn through the Christian Re
corder, that an unusually fine concert
was given by the Sabbath School in con
nection with the colored Presbyterian
Church on Lombard Street, on the eve
ning of the 21st ult., under the leader
ship of Prof. A. Burris. • "The church,"
says the Recorder, " was crowded to its
utmost capacity, and many failed to se-_
cure a seat. , The young misses and gen.
tlemen acquitted themselves most hand
eomely, and the whole affair was credit
able to Prof. Burris and the little folks'.
Mr: Burris certainly deserves much
praise. After the exercises were con
cluded, the ladies having- prepared re
freshments in the basement of the church,
the assembly repaired thither to ikirt4.ke
of the good things in waiting."
Speaking of this church, We - learn
with pleasure that a vigorous effort is
now in progress, and is likely to be suc
cessful, for the entire liquidation of the
debt which has been a source of embar
rassment ever since the erection,:many
years ago, of their present capacious
and beautiful house of worship. Under
the ministry of Mr. Reeve, a gentleman
of education and valuable qualities, a
career of prosperity seems to be open
ing before them, corresponding to the
prospects of progress for Our popula
tion of African descent generally.

MEETING OF THE. AMERICAN BOARD
The remarkable goodness of God in,
so showering contributions into the
treasury of the Board, during the last
month, as altogether to prevent the ap
prehended deficiency in squaring the ac
counts of the year, has given special in
terest in the annual meeting now going
forward in. Worcester. We see it stated
in the Boston papers of last week, that
even the large hospitalities of Worcester
were expected to be overtaxed. " Al
ready" said the Recorder " applications
for accommodation have to be refused,
not for want of will but for want of
room. The committee have been, and
will be, untiring in their efforts to pro
vide all possible accommodations, and
they have even now been obliged to re
sort to the plan of providing lodging and
eating accommodations at different
places."

THE PRINCIPLES OF UNION
The American Presbyterian, a short
time since, announced that the Union of
Presbyterians• which it desired, and for
which. it was willing to labor, was much
more comprehensive than the union of
the two large' branches • Of the Presby
terian Church, and embraced the United
Presbyterian Chnrch, and other smaller
divisions of the same great communion,
and that the union of any of these
parts was desirable only as it
might lead to the fusion together of the
whole.* This is a project of suchmagni
tude as to merit serious consideration,
but not one to be lightly, dismissed as
impracticable. We believe that the
divisions of Presbyterians have added
nothina to the efficiency of any of the
various corps which are ranged under
that banner. The force of rivalry, the
only force which is generated by divi
sion, is soon spent, or remains to breed
feelings inconsistent with Christian
charity. Therefore we look with plea
sure upon every scheme which pro
mises to effect a wise removal of the
causes of division, and to heal breaches
between Christians of the same name
ands same ecclesiastical polity.
But no permanent union is possible
until the
, principles upon which it is to
be made have been thoroughly dis
cussed,and satisfactorilly settled. Many
will say, that no princible is> necessary
but the fundamental .one—that all par
ties to the ninon honestly and heartily
accept the Westminster Confession and
Catechism. We assent to this, and ash,
no more of any parties that may wish
to unite with us in church fellowship.
But it is well known that in other sec
tions of the Presbyterian body there are
" testimonies," which contain not only
matters, of opinion but matters If faith,
and the reception of which, as we under
stand, is made a term of ministerial
communion. Undoubtedly these "tes
timonies," forming as they do an addi
tion to the creed of the churches using
them, would be a barrier in the way of
union with those churches who do not
believe in their necessity or usefulness.
The discussion of the terms of commu
nion is, therefore, a preliminary, step in
*Our cotemporary has not exactly understood us.
What we said was substantially this—that we can afford
some delay in the union of certain'parts, provided such
delay is likely . to advance the grander project of an en
'tire Presbyterian Union. We regard the present tone
of writers in the United Presbyterian Church, as the most
hopeful indications of the times, in rifererice to this ,
point—FA. American Presbyterian.
OUR CORRESPONDENCE
DEATHS OF MINISTERS
the way leading to all permanent union
of Presbyterian churches, and we are
glad to see that this discussion has been
commenced in the United Presbyterian
Church. A correspondent of the Chris
tian Instructor, in the last number of
that paper, lays down the following
principles, which we hope will gain a
wide Acceptance in that Church.
i" I was heartily in favor of the union
ofthe Assediate and Associate Reformed
Churches,; and now rejoice in. its con
summation. ;But I have ever been op
posed io . such a union as would remove
us still farther froin the common faith of
Christ'S diseiples of other denotniria,-
tiOns in this and lands; and ma
king organic union with them more and,
morehopless. 1 suppose that the theory,
that we baie a right to' embody in
creed' every' proposition on the subject.
of religion that we may deem true, is
absurcl.and unstlriptural. If you make
your church .consist of two or .three in:
diVidoals of, the same cast of mind,.
and training ' and who have
!been: surrounded by the same "religious
influeunes all . their lives, you may make
your creed indefinitely .long. if..you
make your church consist" of but one
man, you may write down in it every
opinion the man- holds. on every con
ceivable religious topic; and,if. he. be a
Man of Much thought and intelligence,
the world itself ,would not contain the
creed , that should- be' written. I aver
that we .have no right to 'make a creed
as long or as short as we please, but.
that a creed designed to be a term of
communion in the church has its limits
distinctly and definitely determined in
Holy Scripture, and that when we go
beyond this limit on the plea that we
are about to organize a pure church, or
°litho pretence that 'here are certain
troths. for. .which in this age• we are es
pecially called to witness, or any other
pretest, we do thereby usurp Christ's
prerogative, and corrupt his church."

THE PRESBYTERY OF NEWARK, duripg
its recent sessions in Plainfield, took
action towards aiding in the establish
ment of the " Ministerial Relief Fund,"
by appointing Rev. Joel Parker, D. D.,
of. Newark, to bring the subject to the
-attention of the churcheS.
Dr. Nickels, of that Presbytery, who
has been;, trying the cliniate of Min
nesota for a -bronchial disorder through
the most,of the past year, was permitted
to lay down the charge of the Central
Church on account of the unpromising
state of his health. The. Presbytery, in
granting him. a release, '
" Resotved, That in ' dissolving the
pastoral relation which has so long and
so happily subsisted bet Ween Rev. C. M.
Nickels and the Central Church of
'Newark, we have yielded to a necessity'
manifestly laid upon us by the great
Head of - the Church. While we bow
submissively to his inscrutable wisdom,
we deeply regret to be deprived of the
services of a valuable co-laborer, one
whose ripe'-wisdom, prudence, firmness,
devotion to his work as a minister, and
consistent Christian example, have won
,in-ahigh degree, our esteem and con
fidence, and proved him to be a work
man con
fidence;
needeth 'not be ashamed. We
tender 'him our affectionate sympathy
in, the 'physical infirmities which require
the suspension for a time of his labors
in the pulpit, and would fbllow him with
our best wishes and prayers Pit- his
speedy and complete restoration."
PLACERVILLE, CAL.—The corner stone
of a new 'edifice for the First Presbyte
rian Church was laid with more than
usually interesting ceremonies, on the
15th of August last. The address was
delivered by our Home Missionary Sec
retary, Rev. Dr. Kendall, who fell 'in
among them on his Pacific tour. The
Placerville .News says of the address :
"His delineations of the permanency
and aggressive character of the church;
of its educating power in society; its
taking possession of the centre of in
fluence, and radiating outward; its
decided stand on the side of order, right,
and constituted authority ; its support
to. Morals and virtue, and its 'meeting
the felt wants of our spiritual nature,
leading to God and heaven ; and supply
ing ministration's in sorrow, misfortune
and death, were clearly and impressively
drawn. The allusions to the position of
the Presbyterian Church on the subject
- 'of slavery and the rebellion were forcible
and well put.- Thee entire address was
instructive and eloquent, and will long
remain in • the memory of those who
were present."
PRESBYTERY OF SAGINA.W.--Three
members were added to this body, by
ordination, at its meeting in Fentonville,
Mich., on the 14th inst. Their names,
and the fields of labor to which they are
assigned, are as follows : Rev. Edward
Dickinson, at Fentonville ; Rev. Calvin
p. Quick, at Flushing; and Rev. Alanson
Herrick, at Mundy. The first two were
licentiates of the Presbytery of Cayuga,
and the last was received from the
Detroit Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church. Rev. H. H. Nor_

UNION PRESBYTERY, EAST TENNESSEE.
—A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Christian _Herald gives an interesting
account of his attendance upon the
sessions of this Presbytery, in, Spring
Place Church, about six miles distant
from Knoxville, on the 2d tilt. Union
Presbytery was one • of the number
which seceded from our General Assem
bly. because of the action at Cleveland
on the subject- of slavery, 'and it subse
quently became one of :the leading Pres
byterieS in the United Synod. At a meet
ing held, as the .writer in the Herald
naively remarks, ,'!.before Brother Burn•
side visited the country,", a resolution
was adopted, declaring that they would
neither license nor ordain, nor, receive
froin another ecclesiastical body, any,
man who
,lacked sympathy for, the
South in her struggle for independende,
or, who believed slavery to be. sinful..
This . resolution . was aimed at one of
their own licentiates, who desired, and
whose._ churches. asked. ordination at
their , 'hands. The. writer goes on to
say:
-" On the 2d of September, 18.64, three
ministers and a goodly delegation Of
elders assembled in Spring Place Church,
and ditring this and the nest day trans
acted the following important business
First, they repealed with indignation
and censure the wicked resolution of
the former meeting; they then ordained
Mr. Lyle, Who had been preaching in
two 'of their churches as a licentiate for
the past two years. They received
from the Kalamazoo Congregational
Association one new member, Rev.
Henry Cherry, Chaplain in the 10th
Michigan Cavalry. They resolved by a
unanimous vote, after a - full and free
discussion, to return to the New School
Assembly, from which they..bad ben
unwillingly severed. Of the three min
isters who helped to reorganize this
Presbytery, two,
at least, lad not defiled
their garments by connivance at rebel

worshipping slavery. The little . band
