PRESBYTERIAN
ONE DISLOYAL PASTOR SIISTAINED.—Rev ,
Stuart Robinson, D. D., pastor of the Second
Presbyterian - Church, (O. S.) Louisville,
Kentucky, is probably the most undisguised
disloyahst in the Presbyterian ministry, out
side Of •the rebel lines. His sentiments,
writings, and speech became so overt that it
became necessary, some months since, for him
to leave for Canada,,,where, we ISelieve, he
still remains, and from whence he recently
sent to his church a resignation of his pastor
, ate—orcourse only to launch upon the coun
try the moral effect of a refusal of acceptance.
This , refusal was, on the 23d ult., expressed
by a unanimous vote of the congregation, and
Rev. John 0. Young was at the same time
elected a co-paStor, so that the church may
have a resident as well as an exiled pastor.
REvrvArs,—Through the Cincinnati Pres
byter we have accounts of a revival in Scioto,
Indiana, following the week of prayer. The
pastor writes:—"On Saturday we began the
usual services connected with a communion
meeting. The attendance was large and Sol
emn. Men were serious eveuwhere. :In my
experience I have never found men generally
so approachable on the subject of religion.
During the six days that we were with them,
I mingled extensively among the people, and
found but one poor hardened sinner that
seemed to have no desire for the salvation of
his soul. There were thirteen accessions to
the church, several heads of families. Many
were inquiring." The same paper brings us
similar good news from Washington, Ohio.-
At a late 'communion following the week of
prayer, thirteen persons were added to the
church i of wffom nearly one-half were heads
of families. Others are inquiring the way to
Christ, and the church is much reviyed.
The Presbyterian Banner says that the
church of Butler, Pennsylvania, has been
graciously visited with a precious time of re
freshing. The Lord has shed down his Holy
Spirit, especially upon the young people.
Some thirty persons have attended the meet
ings for inquiry, and some of these are begin
ning to hope in Christ. Many of these are
in connection with Witherspoon Institute,
and nearly all of them belong to the Sabbath
school, or Bibldclasses.
We also learn, through our exchanges, that
the spirit of prayer is prevailing among the
Presbyterian churches in Northern Wiscon
sin. In Neenah, Menasha, Appleton, and
Green Bay, conversions are numerous. In
the church in Green Bay a series-of meetings
was commenced two weeks ago, and some
twenty to twenty-five conversions have already
taken place, and the interest of the meetings
is on the increase. Among those confessing
Christ are those seemingly hopeless ; but the
love of God has been able to conquer them,
and His cause has been largely advanced with
the swelling tide. We needed an awakening
here very much ; the church was cold and
formal. It has come at last, and we pray it
may continue.
The Presbyterian Standard has good news
from the Middle Tuscarora Church, Pennsyl
vania. The meetings commenced during the
week of prayer, were continued. It was dis
covered that certain parties were in extreme
distress of mind about their spiritual condi
tion. The Spirit's presence was felt, and the
"power of prayer" acknowledged. Chris
tians were revived, backsliders reclaimed, and
the impenitent awakened. There are thirteen
hopeful conversions, and twenty-five anxious
inquirers.
The Presb,yeer reports that a very pleasing
interest has been manifest for a month or two
in the First Presbyterian Church of New Al
bany, Ind., Dr Safford, pastor. Some fifteen
or twenty have professed Christ,' and others
have given evidence that they are deeply in
terested. The mission cause has been re
membered in the same quarter, some ten or
twelve thousand dollars having gone to the
Board during the winter. The church has,
. besides numerous private testimonials, added
some six hundred dollars to the original sal
ary of the pastor. The same paper also gives
intelligence of a revival, and already an ad
dition, by professsion, of thirty-one to the
Presbyterian church in Seymour, Indiana ;
also an addition of nineteen, by profession,
to the "John Knox Church" in Oneida, 111.
PRESBYTERIANISM ARROAD.—Presbyterian
Mionin, New South Wales. —By steady steps,
though slow, the union of Presbyterians in
Australia is advancing. In pursuance of ar
rangements made a whole year previously,
on the 15th of November last two small
Synods and one or two detached . ministers
united, forming the General Synod of New
South Wales. The constituent bodies were
the Synod of En n Australia and the Synod
of New South NV to, -. Of the form* body,
ten ministers and four elders joined in the
union, and five ministers and one elder pro
tested. The protest was based on the alleged
Erastianism of the Synod of Australia, con
nected with the Church of Scotland, with
whom a further union is proposed, and, in
deed, has been resolved upon, as soon as cer
tain legal matters are disposed of. What
ground for this charge of Erastianism there
will be in the united 'church, which is to be
independent of civil control, or of connection
with the Kirk of Scotland, it is difficult to
see. It, is hoped that the protestants 'will
fall into the traces, and pull amicably with the
rest when the union is consummated. The
Synod adjourned subject to the call of the
Moderator, at any time that may be expedient
for completing the union with the Synod of
Australia.
'I he English Presbyterian Church continues
to 4ive cheering signs of' growth. A Metro
politan Church Extension Committee (for
London was appointed at the last meeting
of the .uondon Presbytery. At Croydon, a
suburban district, with 38,000 people, a cori=
gregation has been gathered, and a lecture
hall capable of accommodating 350 people is
proposed to be built. The growth of London
is rapid. " Vast rows of respectable houses,"
we are told by the Weekly Review, "are
springing, up, north, south, east, and west,
representing a rapidly-increasing population,
and a population generally of the very class
ind character which form the mokt encourag
g field for the labors of an earnest Christian
minister." Only the financial means are
wanting to go in and occupy most encouraging
fields in the great capital. Of the field be
yond the city, we are told that "several pro
mising openings are at present receiving the
attention of the Synod's Home Mission Com
mittee, and offer every prospect of encourag
ing animas ; but from the nature of the case,
such efforts, being anticipatory and prospec
tive, demand a considerable outlay of money;
and,it is to be regretted that the treasury of
the committee is already more than ex
hausted."
The Union _Movement among the unendowed
Presbyterians of England and Scotland is still
going forward, so far as the cultivating of
friendly relations among individual ministers
and subordinate bodies can promote it. On
the 3d of December, the English Cumberland
Presbytery and the Presbytery of Car
lisle met, la
previous agreement, in the U..P.
Church of Carlisle, " to express and recipro
cate their fraternal feelings." The addresses
were admirable in tone and. matter. One of
the speakers, who was also a member of the
joint Committee on Union, in which the four
churches are now r epresented, is reported, in
the Weekly Review, to have said :—" The

EPISCOPAL.
BISHOP BOONE AND THE CHINA. MISSION.
—Bishop Stevens' sermon, says the Church
Journal, preached on the 29th ult. at Calvary
Church, New York City, to a crowded con
gregation, did more than redeem the promise
conveyed in its announcement. It was in the
memory of the late lamented Bishop Boone :
but it contained, by way of preface, a sketch
.of all , previous missions to China, from the
Nestorian preachers of the eighth century
down to the commencement of our own work.
The history of Bishop Boone's life and labors
was very full; and the interest of the narra
tive, and the affectionate, earnest, and per
suasive power of the discourse, may be meas
ured by the fact, that it held that great con
gregation unwearied for an hour and three ;
quarters. We add that, from the tone of the
Bishop's peroration, which is a bold, clear,
and decisive challenge to the continuance of
the mission and the sendingout of a new
missionary bishop to succeed `Bishop Boone,
we infer that the mind of the Foreign Com
mittee is made up, and that they, with the
leading friends of Foreign Missions in the
Board, will decide the policy of the Board
and of the Church.
UNITARIAN
DR. BELLOWS IN CALIFORNIA. - At a re
cent Unitarian meeting in. Boston, for the
purpose of stirring up a missionary spirit,
Rev. Dr. Bellows, who had lately returned
from his short sojourn in California, said that
" San Francisco at present had not a sufficient
number of churches for the people. He
would not disparage other sects. They were
working in the cause of religion, but there
was a large number outside their influence
which we could reach. They ought to send
one man to work with Mr. Stebbins. The
latter was in danger of being over-worked
plat as
in which i n
h g e wa thoughts. He mentioned seven
eswe could begin
with reasonable prospect of success. At Sac
ramento there were twenty Unitarian families.
During his sojourn in California he bad bap
tized eighty-two persons, ten of whom were
adults and the rest.children. One custom in
California was an aid to missionary effort.
Wherever religious services are held, a col
lection is taken. This is universal. In the
Unitarian Society in San Francisco, $5OOO in
gold was thus raised in a year. The feeling
of the people was, that if they went to hear
a minister, they wished to aid in the support
of religion; and this was true, though they
only attended occasionally. His old prejudice
against this custom had gone. He thought
we did not take halt collections enough."
LUTHERAN.
LARGE BEQUEST AND DONATION. - The
Lutheran Observer says: —Miss Sager, a mem
ber of St. Matthew's Lutheran church, (Rev.
E. W Hutter's) had lately departed this life,
and left the congregation, of which she was an
ornament, a fine parsonage, together with an
other property valued at $20,000. Scarcely
had our gratification at the good fortune of
St. Matthew's been expressed, when we were
informed that the indefatiguable efforts of
Mrs. Rutter„ the devoted wife of the honored
pastor, had been crowned with extraordinary
success, a liberal-minded gentleman having
presented her with $5,000 in money, and the
prodeeds of an oil well besides, for the sup
port of the orphans now housed and clothed
and fed at the Home of the Friendless, in
Philadelphia. We congratulate the pastor
and congregation of St. Matthew's and the
President and Directors of the Home of the
Friendless, upon their reception of these time
ly and generous offerings, and gladly chron
icle them, that others may be stimulated ,to
go and do likewise.

li GOD'S WORK AT HAMPTON lIOSPITAL.
Alhaplain E. P. Rogers, through the last
ei3vangelist, furnishes an unusually interesting
itriew of the state of - religion - 7s society in this
*Tiospital. Feeling the necessity of folding
the recently converted, and of also providing,
the higher class of church privileges for older
(professors, a sort of provisional church was
rorganized by him, on the 9th of September
r last, commencing its existence with thirty
members. As it was intended simply as a I
' transition between the world. and more per
-4.! mauent church relations at home, should its
a members live to reach home, it adopted only
P the most simple and catholic terms of admis
'l
sion, which might constitute an open Chris
tian :..professiou and , bond of Union. Its
" creed and covenant " consisted only of the
folloWilig articles : "1. God being my helper,
I will try, to the best of my ability, to be a
Christian. 2. I will take the Word 'of God
for, My guide, and trust in Christ alone for
salvation. 3. I solemnly pledge myself to I
abstain from profane language, from alcoholic
drinks as a beverage, and all other vices in
army and camp, and will be a true soldier of
my country and the cross. 4. I will strive
earnestly to win souls to Christ, and will
faithfilly try to watch over my Christian
brother.,'
_
The, letter goes on to speak of a shower of
Divine, grace falling upon this little flock, in
connection with the week of prayer, and the
continuation of frequent meetings from that
time onward. "When we had reason la be
lieve kat the favored moment had come, and
that Gad was willing to bless and specially
aid the willing human instrument, such in
struments were at hand and ready. There
were Christians all over the hospital pledged
to work in this cause. We had church mem
bers among the stewards and in the vete
ran relve camp, in the dining halls and
kitchens in nearly all the wards and among
r i
the far ers. These were like minute men,
who co dbe assembled at any time. They
were r a reserve force in waiting, ready at
any ti to charge the enemy. They were
known hristian lights, more or less bright
whenever
j
they happened to be on duty.'
Early in anuary we assembled as a church,
and I ne er was present at a more earnest or
deeply i teresting meeting. Between forty
and fife Christians met in a vacant ward and
talkedand prayed over the sacred cause in
which
the
all had enlisted. We concluded
that time had arrived at which to Strike
earne4tly. The charge was sounded, and we
are still advinding, quietly and persistently,
led, 'we humbly trust, by the Spirit of our
merciful ; God, who does not love to see his
children in error, and urged on by the `love
of 9hrist,' which ' constraineth. us.' As the
results thus far, we have to thank God that
be has put it. into the hearts of one hundred
and seven men to join with us, and to pledge,
themselves that in his strength they will try
to )live faithfully to the Creed and Cove
' nant I have stated; also, in addition, that
seventy, soldiers have given in their names as
applicants for church membership. Such is
the!difference between one man's working,
whether he be in a chaplain's uniform or in
, any,Other, and between all Christians in their
several plades and spheres, being alive to their
Master's interests. But the most marked
feature in the work is its' quiet and unobtru
sive power, its spreading from heart to heart
with so little of human agency. We simply
ask men to come to Christ, and they come.
We simply say.to the backslider, return, and
with tears, of penitence he again seeks his

him be all the glory."
MI[SrsIONARY.
NATIVE MINISTRY IN 131fRATAEL —A letter
in the Baptist Magazine from Dr. Kincaid,
dated Piome, August, 1864, speaks of the
importance ~ of having a large number of
.native preachers, carefully trained in the his
tory and doctrines of the Bible, both to carry
on the work already in hand, and to become
pioneers over new and untravelled regions.
Only a small part of the missionaries sent out
can be expected to show a perfect adaptation
to the work of reaching the minds of the
heathen or securing their attention, and these
can do but a small part of what needs to be
done, while the others are apt to get dis
couraged and unproductive. He wants sixty
to one hundred young men constantly under
training for pastors, evangelists, and school
teachers. All of them will not prove effec
tive workers, of course ; but some will, and
being of the people, and native to their lan
guage .and ways, they are indispensable to
the completion of the missionary work. He
regrets having to dismiss five of these young
men from the service of the Board, for lack
of funds. But he adds :--,
"These men, though dismissed and obliged
to labor in the fields do not abandon the work
4 - titeachio On'the'Sabbath, and at other
"sedsiunii,'Mrftr hePiaii — g - era 'leisure day;
they labor in -the gospel. But, while the
churches are young and feeble, it is extremely
important for these preachers to have all their
time for studying the Scriptures, and for
going from house to house and from village
to village, to give 'line upon line, here a
little and there a little.' It is only by pains
taking labor that light breaks in upon the
heathen mind. There must be the planting
and the watering, and then we may look for
the increase which is promised..."
He speaks hopefully of the building of
chapels and school-houses, and the zeal of
the native churches in supporting 'their pas
tors. ,

Coughs, and Colds, and this popularity is based upon
real merit. This result has be• n acquired by a test of
many years, and " The Trochee continue to stand the
first in public favor and confidence.
A. Neglected Cough, Cold, or Sore Throat,
which might be checked by a simple remedy, like
Brown's Bronchial Trochee," if allowed to progress
may terminate seriously. For Bronchitis, Asthma,
Catarrh. and Consumptive Coughs, "The Troches" are
used with advantage, giving oftentimes immediate
relief.
Their good reputation and extensive usehas brought
out many worthless imitations, which we would cau
tionpurchasers to be on their guard against. Obtain
only-Brown's Bronchial Troches.

- . jell yield of oil exists on the property; a large num
ber of oil wells are being successfully worked on the
adjoining lands, some of them producing from thirty
to fifty barrels per day, and as yet only partially de
veloped.
Of the property belonging to this Company, all of
which are bottom lands, about one hundred and
seventy-five acres have been selected by competent
judges, as the best of oil-producing lands. Oil Creek
and its tributary streams run directly through, most
of this property.
The Company are now making active arrangements
for a speedy and full development of all their lands,
and expect at an early day to pay a handsome per
centage on the investment.
The respectability, integrity, and commc rcial stand
ing of the Officers and Trustees of this Company, all
- being practical business men, is sufficient guarantee
that their representations in regard to, and their con
duct of, the business of this Company, will be entitled
to the full confidence and entire-approval of all who
may, be disposed to invest in the enterprise.
Their stock is not put at a fictitious value, but at an
actual business valuation, and sold at that, without
being enlarged into many millions, to the detriment of .
the Stockholders.
No personal liability attaches to the Stockholders, as
the stock is sold at its actual par value, and not at a
reduction of one-half, by which reduction each Stock
holder is made personally liable.
Some idea of the immense value of Oil Territory
may be gathered-from the following statement: Tee
Noble and Delamater Well is pouring forth a constant
stream of oil, at the rate of five hundred barrels per
day, equal to six thousand dollars, or over two million
dollars worth yearly. The Jersey Well yields about
five thousand dollars worth daily. The Hyde and Eg
bert Farm, thirty-seven acres, has been converted
into companies, representing over seven million dol
lars. A great many similar cases could be cited.
THERE ARE NO REASONS WHY some of the pro
pertiga y belongink to this Company should not produce
Oil asTropiously as the wells mentioned above, and in
that case it would make its VALUE ALMOST BE
YOND CALCULATION.
Dividends will be declared on the stock as soon as
the Company's finances will permit, and will be held
subject to the order of distant subscribers, by draft or
otherwise, free of charge. All Stockholders, large
and small, will be treated alike, and receive the divi
dends or profits pro rata. All benefits derived from
the lands, either in sale of oil, lands, or products of
'any - kind, will be divided among the Stockholders.

a short time, and can be subscribed for at the office of
