WELL DONE, 10WA..-Our church in
Winterset, Iciwa, has recently donated
to its Pastor, Rev. A. M. Heizer, who,
by the way, has been with thew less
than six months, the generous amount of
$216 in cash, and other valuable gifts,
swelling the total to $350. The West
ern-field needs only fair cultivation, and,
with the blessing of the Holy Spirit, it
will soon take care of itself.
DEATH AT THE COMMUNION TABLE._
While at the communion service in Orange,
Nev Jersey, Mrs. Day, an aged and
devoted member of the church, fell - under
a stroke of paralysis, and died before she
could be removed. The scene was un
speakably solemn. For the living, the
communion was deferred one week. The
departed entered upon hers, immediate
and eternal.
LITTLE MILL CREEK, OHIO.—Rev. 0.
IL Newton reports to the Herald a re
vival in this place, in connection with a
protracted meeting. " The meetings,"
he says, " were largely attended and
deeply solemn. Them were over thirty
inquirers, the most of whom we hope
have been already converted. Last Sab
bath was our communion season. Nine
teen have united with the church—eigh
teen on the profession of their faith and
one by letter. The church has been
greatly blessed and encouraged, for which
we are all; I trust ; grateful to God."
GREEN CASTLE, IND. —A correspon
dent, writing from this place to`. the
Christian Herald, says : " Special
tokens of the Divine favor have been
most graciouSly granted to the First
Presbyterian church. It has been a most
deeply solemn, still, quiet, and blessed
work. The church has been much
quickened, and backsliders reclaimed.
Seventeen have united with us on pro
fession of their faith in Christ. Ten or
twelve more are indulging hope, and will
unite with us in due time. The work
has been very largely in the Sabbath
school, among the youth from ten to
twenty years of age. Several heads of
families have. bprin reached."
REVIVALS IN THE NORTHWEST.-A_
revival of much interest is reported in
Dr. Mattoon's church in Monroe, Michi
gan; another at Lyons, lowa, where it
is said there have been one hundred con
versions, and the church is greatly
strengthened ; a gentle refreshing at
Kewanee, Illinois, resulting thus far in
about twenty conversions. The Rock
ford Female Seminary - has been lately
enjoying one of the most precious of the
many works of grace with which that
favored institution has been blessed.
At the close of the term, a few days ago,
there were only about twenty-five of the
whole number of pupils (about three
hundred in all) who were not indulging
hope of pardoned sin. We hear also of
interesting revivals at Cottage Grove,
Danville, and Shelbyville, Illinois.
PRESBYTERY OF SAGYNAW.—This Pres
bytery is, in view of its location, an im
portant one, and its future is hopeful,
both on account of the numbers and
character of the population which must
eventually come within range of its in
fluence, and because of the energetic
character of its present material. It has
recently held its annual meeting at
Flushing, below Flint City, on Flint
River. The Home Missionary subject
was discussed with special reference to
the Presbytery's own field. At present,
almost all its churches are dependent
upon Home Missionary aid, and it has
before it many points which ought to be
immediately occupied. Some of them
are evidently destined to be centres of
influence. The Presbytej'y is awake to
its responsibility, and does not mean that
other parts the -hurch shall slumber
over it. For lummissioners to the
Assembly, Rev. tr. H. Northrop and
Elder Robert Ure were elected princi
pals, and Rev. James A. Griffes and
Elder Levi Walker, alternates.
lOWA.—Our correspondent below, a
veteran and voluntary laborer, who for
sixteen years has gone up and down the
State of lowa, with almost no pecuniary
remuneration, striving to save feeble
churches which he knows not how to see
dying out, sends the following items :
" I have just returned from a short cam
paign of five Sabbaths with the Marengo
Church, in lowa County, left destitute by
the absence and illness of their minister,
Rev. L. B. Rogers, whom the people.
have very unanimously invited to return,
if his health will permit. Besides visit
ing all the members, as far as practicable,
at their homes, and holding a season of
communion with the churc, at which
four new rne'mbers were recognized, one
by profession, I also introduced Mr.
Wilberforce K. Boggs, a licentiate, to
supply the pulpit for the present. lam
now ready for another campaign with
our vacant church at Mount Vernon, in
Linn County."
[Speaking of the death of Rev. C. I.
Slack, pastor of our church in Newton,
noticed in our last week's issue, the
writer says :--]
" The stroke is severe to us all. Our
Synod met there last autumn, and laid
the corner stone of their Westminster
Presbyterian
,Church, with their young
pastor, now so soon carried to the grave,
before the structure is completed ! It is
so hard work to get good young minis
ters, a thousand miles from the great
East, that we weep at this sudden exit
of one, of whom we bad high hopes.
His heart-stricken widow I met in the
cars, leaving with his remains for the
home of a brother. But he sleeps in
Jesus. lOWAN.
I TVENLLE DIIIINKEBNESS. - 10 less than
eleven boys were turned out of one of the
district schools of this city, last week, t'or
being drunk in school, and facts have brought
to light the horrible truth that nearly half
the boys, from the ages of ten to eighteen,
are in the constant habit of frequenting the
miserable groggeries that disgrace our city.
When anxious fathers and fond mothers
suppose their boys are at school, they are
loitering about the dram shops and saloons,
drinking down the deadly poisons that are
found there,
and forming habits that will
bring them to disgraceful and untimely ends,
sorrow and mourning to their parents , and a
blight upon our city and nation. —Cleveland
Plaindealer.
REVIVALS. —Our Presbyterian exchanges
of last week mention a number of revivals
now in progress. Among the churches re
freshed are Oakfteld, Minn., where the new
converts are mostly Bible Class scholars ;
Two Ridges, near Steubenville, Ohio, where
thirty-seven have already •been received to
the church ; Alliance, Ohio, where twenty
four have united with the church, and
deeper feeling of earnest inquiry and prayer
now prevails, than ever before in the history
of the congregation ;" Valparaiso, Ind.,
where fifteen have made public profession,
eight are now applicants before the session,
and "the work still goes on hopefully, and
inquirers multiply;" . Livonia, Ind.; Sardinia,
Ind., where forty one recent additions by
profession have doubled the number in the
church ; Danville, N. J.; Washington, Ind.•,
Newton, N. J., and Oskaloosa, lowa. We
have before spoken of the revival in Bar
dolph, 111. We are now able to state that,
as its fruits thus far, fifty-three persons have
been received by profession into the church.
The last number of the Home and Foreign
Record of the 0. S. Presbyterian. Church
says:—" An unusual number of reports lately
received from missionaries, give tokens of
works of grace more or less extensive. On
one day of the last month, almost every re
port opened at the mission rooms brought
cheering tidings. Our fathers have told us
that God's right arm was made bare at the
close of the war with England, and for years
the church grew and flourished."
PRESBYTERIANSNION IN GREAT BRITAIN
DESIRED. —The cry for this continues una
bated. The Weekly Review _of Feb. 11th,
after giving an acconnt of the meeting of a
Welsh Presbytery, adds ;—" It winld, give us
very great satisfaction to see the different
Presbyterians south of the Tweed inter
mingling more with each other than they
seem to do. If they are one in doctrine, and
one in Church policy, we can see no reason
at all that they should not draw closer toge
ther in the bonds of unity; and, in connection
with their brethren of Scotland and - Ireland,
to form one grand ' British Presbyterian
if-aig , theAuty of some portions
of the Presbyterian 1.)
surely the duty of all other branches of the
great body of Presbyterians to do so; and they
would thus form one of the most eminent,
learned, and efficient Churches in the whole
world. Is not this idea worth aiming at? It
is, most assuredly. And we fondly hope that
ds grand consummation shall never be lost
sight of. And may the Lord hasten it in his
own time."
LANGE'S COMMENTARY.—We are pleased
to learn that the increased sales of this great
work have more than justified the expecta
tions of the publisher. . Already has it
reached the fourth edition, as is announced
by Mr. Scribner in his ' advertisement this
week. It will be seen, moreover, that the
high commendations which it has received,
come from the organs of all the principal
evangelical denominations. We anticipate
for the work. .skstill larger sale.—N. Y Evan

From the L'piecopal Recorder
Unique as to design, logical as to arrangement, sug
gestive as to treatment, select as to matter, evangeli
cal and catholic as to theology, accurate as to scholar
ship, interesting as to style, it is the very beau ideal of
a clergyman's commentary, and we predict for it the
most extensive circulation. It possesses every feature
to resider it indispensable to the earnest Minister.
The New York Christian Times
Instead of a confused complication of remarks. we
have a beautiful arrangement of everything petaining
to the portion of Scripture under vonFideration, so
that the student, the preacher, the polemic, the casuist
--every man in his own order—may go at once to his
unexelatmg thereto.
From the Methodist Press.
The New York Onristian Advocate and Journal:
As a contribution to the richest and most abounding
literature, we place it among the best—no student of
the sacred page will fail to find great food for thought
in its prolific columns. Its piety is simple and fer
vent; its orthodoxy high and unquestioned ; its learn
ing profuse and accurate: its ideas novel and lofty.
No work so thorough awl original has b, en lately
laid before American readers.
From the Presbyterian Press.
The American Theological Review for January,
We we/come this commertary as upon the whole the best
single exposition thnt can be found, comprising all that
is essential to a thorough popular and useful work. It
treats the bible as an inspired book; yet it is also cri
tical. meeting and not giving the slip to difficult ques
tions. For textual criticism it affords ample tucans.
Its exegesis is concise and pertinent. The doctrinal
and homiletical parts are 13andled effectively. It is
not iectarian, but adapted for use in all , ienominations.
Those who may, here and there, differ from it, will no t •
complain that it is wanting in either candor or learn
ing. This edition is not only much superior to the
Edinburg, but it also surpasses the German.
The American Presbyterian!?
In plan and in execution this Conitt.:ttary exceeds
any that have ever appeared. More than a hundred
years ago a work on a similar.plan u a scented by a
learned German. named Starke, but this of Lange's
exceeds it in genius and geniality, besides having her
richer stores of material from which to draw. . . ft
map be regarded as a lucidly composed and arranged
Cyclopedia of exegetical ,doctrinal. and homiletical the
ology. A thorough acquaintance with it might w.tl be
accepted as a sufficient preparation for the regular ,corlt
of the pastoral spice.
From Me Baptist Press.
The Watchman and Reflector :
We can only call attention at present to this magni—
ficent Commentary. This volume on Matthew is ad
mirably done, an immeasurable advance on any com
mentary which has preceded ir. Ic NViii give a new
impulse to Biblical study, and be an Invaluable help
to all lovers of the Bible.
The National Baptist says :
An invaluable addition to our The. , logical litera—
ture.
From the Cougreaatiouiti Press.
The New York Independent says:
There is on every page evidence of the fullest read
ing and ekactest thought. Every clergymiin and
teacher and student of the work will seek its pages,
and the book should be on every Christian's shelf.
The Lgtheran and Dutch Reformed
Press.
The Lutheran Observer says
This is the greatest literary enterprise 4,f the kind un
dertaken in the present century, Nee e s,.ity d e m :ti m e d
that the fruits from these immense bilior• should be
gathered abd condensed in some practical iorm. A
new comprehensive commentary combining scientific
accuracy with t ofiular clearne'ss, a work that should
bring to the. minister the choice results of the half cen
tury's investigations, was demanded . . The-volume
on Matthew. the initial. specimen volume, performs
even more than the foregoing outline promises. . .
We are struck with the fulness of the work ; every in
quiry is answered; on every point on which informa
tion is wanted, we are met; and over and above the
questions with which we come there floods in a wealth
of light that fairly inundates the subject. . .
The New York Christian Intelligeneer says:
All the latest trustworthy discoveries in the science
of interpretation are judiciously emplyed by the au
thors of the Commentary. Yet there is neither pro
lixity no , diffuseness in the treatment of any prrtion
of the sacred text. The immense resources of German
scholarship have been freely used, but in the truly
evangelical way. The theories and speculation of Ger
man rationalism find no place here.
