P RESBYTERIAN. •
UNITED. PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN THE
UNITED STATES.—As notices of this branch
of the Presbyterian family are growing more
frequent, and as inquiry is sometimes made
respecting it, we may state that it is made up
-of .a. fu.sion. of two eccleSiastical bodies in this
country,' en m posed mainly of people of Scotch
or Scotch-Irish origin the Associate and
Associate Reformed Churches. The union
was consummated in 1858, since which the
old names have given place to that at the
head of this notice. The basis of the union
is the Westminster Standards, including the
Confession, Catechisms, Form of Government,
and Directory for Worship. Along, with this
is the adoption of a Testimony on the follow
ing eighteen points, viz. The Plenary Inspir
ation of the Scriptures, 'The Eternal Son,ship
of Christ, The Covenant of Works, The Fall
of Miin and , his Present Inability, The Nature
and Extent of the Atonement, Imputed
Righteousness The Gospel Offer ; Saving.
Faith, Evangelical Repentance, The Be
liever's Deliverance from the Law as a Cov
enant, The Work of the Holy Spirit, The
Headship of Christ, The Supremaay of God's
Law t Slaveholding, Secret Societies, Com
munion, Covenanting and Psalmody. The
Reformed Presbyterian Church in this coun
try is another 'Scottish branch, which' still
retains an independent existence. All these
churches are eminently evangelical and mis
sionary in spirit.
ENGLISH' PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.—At
the annual soiree of St. Andrew's. Church,
Birkenhead, Feb. 2, the speaker, in behalf of
the Church Building and Extension Fund,
said upwards of £7,000 had been subscribed
to this fund in Liverpool and neighborhood,
£1,200 of which was contributed by their 'own
congregation, He then gave an interesting
detail of the successful working of this scheme
of the Synod' in aiding weak congregations,
liquidating debt, and building new churches.
In connection with the Home Mission scheme,
it had been determined that on next Sabbath
week an exchange of pulpits should take
place between the ministers of Manchester
and those of Liverpool and the surrounding
districts. It was also intended to hold a
publie meeting in Hope-hall, on the following'
Monday, in which all the Presbyterian minis
ters in the neighborhood would take part.
At a similar meeting of the church in Ham
stead, on the Bth ult., the report of church
activities during the year,
,contained the fol
lowing statement respecting home evangeliza
tion :—" In our annual report, two years
ago, we referred to the design steadily kept in
iftew from the first, of taking our part in the
a
engelization of our immediate neighbor
o d.
Itias in the Wethen
way said of
our ,`There en m te a l y iag be special
d h c uon thew At of a distinct congregational mission
)e on g the Godless poor around us, but if we
f ithfully wait upon God, He will lead us,
d in due time will open up a path for us.'
i t
fforts at preaching on Sabbath afternoons,
co-operation with Mr. Brock, of Heath
reet chapel, were commenced by Mr. Burns,
\
nued during last summer, by Sir. Matheson.
ut it is with very grateful 1 feelings that we
cknowledge the fulfilment of a long-cherished
esire in the establishment of a `Mission
oom i for evang,elical purposes, in the very
all, in Perrin's-court, where this congrega
ion worshipped during the first nine years of
is existence. Through the generous kind
esstrthe last year of his ministry and were con-
of one of our elders, that hall has been
secured, and. most' comfortably fitted up, and
there many of those who never attend any
regular place of worship are brought within
the sound of the Gospel, which is earnestly
pressed upon their acceptance in pointed ad
dresses. These have , been hitherto chiefly
delivered by laymen, who have proved their
gifts for this most, interesting kind. 9£ woit.
A Bill . le woman is also in connection with the
effort and and •at the Mother's Meeting, don
-
*tea by the Lady Superintendent, a large
number is already enrolled, and the atten
dance is between twenty and thirty. We
desire humbly to acknowledge the good hand
of our. God in sending us the friends who
have put their shoulders so willingly to this
good work, and to recognize it as a token that
the Lord will bless us in this place. The co
operation of the members of the Church and
other Christian friends will be gratefully wel
comed, and it is in contemplation to have an
annual collection, to aid in defraying the
necessary expenses."
CONGREGATIONAL.
AN INNOVATION. —Rev. R. S. Storrs,
pastor of the Pilgrim (Cong.) Church in
Brooklyn, N. Y., has for many years been in
the habit of closing the long prayer in the
morning service ‘ ,3 th a repetition of the
Lord's Prayer. w Sabbaths ago he an
nounced from the pulpit that, at a special
meeting, the question would be discussed
whether he should invite all who wished to
do so to accompany him in such repetition.
At this meeting there was much warm but
kind discussion. Those who advocated the
change urged that the service was of too pas
sive a character for the congregation—that
they wanted some part in the exercises. The
measure was opposed, and principally by the
older members, on the ground that it was con
trary to Congregational usage for the last two
hundred years; that any such approach to a
liturgy-would be a substitute for heart reli
gion, and sink the church to a state of fOr
malism, and that the position held by the
Puritans was correct—i. e., that a ritual ser
vice brought all, saints and sinners, upon a
common level, caused many false hopes and
warded off the sword of the Spirit. The
question, being put to vote, was decided in
the affirmative—thirty-eight in favor, and
twenty-eight against the 'change.
METHODIST.
MISSIONARY COLLECTIONS.—We believe
our Methodist brethren have but one mis
sionaryfundjoreign and_ domesticincluded,
and take up : missionary collections but once
each year. In the Pennsylvania Conferences
they are now in the midst of this work.
Some of the collections are ,as ; -follows : In
Philadelphia, Trinity, $7,500; Arch Street,
nearly $3,000; Fifth Street, $1,000; St.
Geo) ge's, $650. In Pittsburg Christ
Church, $10,552
FRUITS of A REVIVAIh i —The Kingston, N.
Y, 2 Journal says that ort•Suaday, Feb. 12th,
at the First M. E. Church, Rev. J. L. G.-
Jti'liown received a large number into mem
bership, among whom. were several children
frOtn nine, to fourteen. " The scene was one'
that will not soon be forgotten, as many glow
ing cheeks and tearful eyes in the congrega
tion attested, while the pastor, with a few
appropriate words, welcomed the little ones
to the service of Him who said, ' Of such' is
e kingdom 'of heaven.' We understand
this revival began in what Mr. M'Kown calls
significantly.. his Child's Church,' which
tueets regularly on Saturday afternoon at two
1 'clock.
REVIVAL IN GERMANY. —Rev. L. S. Jac
by writes that in Bremen Brother Arehard
as had a prayer-meeting every evening from
he Ist to the 20th of January. He bad
penitents and awakened persons to the
.ourners' bench, and:has witnessed the con
ersion of souls there. - - Reports of revivals
so from Delmhor4t,:Pliveobt, Bremerhaven,
remen and Saxony. Rev. Mr. Wunderlich,
boring in Saxony, writes that a in prayer-meek;
g held' for teachers and children, many
were so wrought upon that they cried for
mercy with an agony beyond anything he had
before witnessed.
BISHOP CAMPBELL, of the African M. E.
Church, is now visiting his work in California
and is well received by the people, and highly
spoken of by the press of that State. The
colored citizens at San Francisco held a great
demonstration in celebration of emancipation,
at which the bishop made an address, Ivhich
is very fully reported. The Conference meets
on the 6th of April at San Francisco.
BAPTIST.
A REMARKABLE PASTORATE; - Rev.
Dwight Ives, D. D., of Suffield, Ct., closed
the twenty-fifth year of a pastorate over the
Second Baptist Church in that town, in Sep
tember last. During this time, six general
revivals Of religion were enjoyed, as one re
sult of which the pastor baptized 830 persons,
making, with those received to membership
by letter and experience, a total addition to
the church of more than 1,000, And leaving
now hi communion, after deducting removals
by death and dismissal, 651. In connection
with one revival,. 1842, 197 were added by
baptism ' and in connection with another,
1857-8, 189 were baptized.
THE. MERCK CATHOLIC.
UT
JNION MEETINGS AND REVIVALS.—The
Congregational, Methodist. Presbyterian and
Baptist churches in Milwaukee (according , to
the last Puritan) have united in a Four Days
Union Meeting, Rev. John D. Potter,Evan
gelist from Connecticut, conducting th meet
ings in general, and preaching. The atten
dance was large from the first, nearly filling
Plymouth Church; and that building being
soon too small for the evenings, they were
transferred to New Music Hall, where ,nearly
or quite two thousand nightly assemble and
give the strictest attention. Undoubtedly
two hundred or more have attended • the in
quiry meetings (not including professors of
religion), and a large number of them are in
dulging hope. The four days have already
more than expired, the meetings still continue,
and it is impossible to say at this writing
when they will terminate. Avery interesting
revival is in progress at Fentonville, Mich.,
under the 'labors of the Presbyterian and
Baptist ministers unitedly. It commenced
with the Week of prayer. We learn also that
there is a revival in progress in Lapeer,
Mich., though there is no minister there.
CHRISTIAN UNION. Rev. Dr. Evarts,
pastor of the First Baptist Church of Chicago,
preached two discourses early in. January on
this subject. He not only deplor':d the evils
of disunion, but suggested the possibility of
diminishing the number of denominations by
the union of those that are nearest alike ;
among others, the Baptists and,Congegation
alists, who.are agreed in doctrines, in church
polity, and in zeal for individual liberty. The
Baptists might consent to infant dedication,
in accordance with the practice of Baptists in
Germany and of some foreign missionaries
and the natural desires of many Christian
parents, if the Congregationalists would con
sent to a voluntary personal dedication of the
adult when he came to join the church. His
idea would probably be to call this latter • act;
of the believer his baptism.
CHRISTIAN FRATERNIZING.—New York,
overleaping the tedious discussion how - it can
be done, goes right about it. The pap - crs of
that city, week before last, contained the fol
lowing notice :—" A meeting for the promo
tion of Christian union will be held in St.
Paul's Methodist Episcopal Church, Fourth
avenue, on Thursday the 2d of March, at
half-past 7 o'clock P. M. Rev. Drs. Verrnil
yea, (Reformed Dutch,.) Bacon , (Congrega
tional, ) Durbin, (Methodist,) Weston,, Krebs,
(presbyterian t ) and also Bishop Coxe, of the
Protestant Episcopal Church, are expected to
address the meeting. It.will be gratifying to
all lovers of. Christianity, te see such- an exhi=
bition of. practical Christian unity, as this
meeting will furnish, realized.
- UNION REVDTAL MEETING- IN. BRIDGE
PORT, • -CONN.—Our - readers will remember
hearing of this meeting-held in the winter of
1863-4, at which the preaching was mostly
done by Mr. Hammond. - A-, recent number
of the Bridgeßort- Standard, secular paper,
contains an article in reply to eertai.n inquiries
respecting the permanence of `the results,
from which we extract as fhllows :—" In re
ply to the first question, ' How many of the
converts actually joined churches ?' I would
say that all adults who professed conversion,
with very few exceptions, joined churches, in
number about 300. In reply to the second
question, How many joined each church?' I
would say, that upwards of 200 united with
the Methodist, the Baptist, and the two Con
gregational churches, about an equal num
ber, or 50, with each of the four churches,
and the remaining 100 united with the other
churches in the city. As to the third ques
tion, How many of these remained steadfast
in the faith ?' the pastors and others who are
qualified from observation and an intimate
acquaintance testify, that converts generally
hold out as well, if ..not better, thanaisual.
Rev. Dr.' Smith,. of the First Congregational
Church, and Rev. Mr. Lobdell, of the South
Church, say they have never known-converts
to hold out better."
'MISCELLANEOUS.
• MISSIONARY MEETING IN MICHIGAN. —The
missionary campaign commenced in Michi
gan soon after the first of January, by Sec
retary Humphrey and returned missionaries
Walker`and Bissell, of the A. B. C. F. M.,
was a perfect success. Fifty-five meetings
were, held within four weeks, in twenty-three
of the principal plaees the'State, an un
usual percentage of them being interfered
with by, bad weather and failure of appoint
ments. They were designed for both children
and-adults, and were generally large, interest
ing, and, in some places, enthusiastic gather
ings.-Gong.
FULTON STREET PRAYER-MEETING. —A
gentleman said he wished to bespeak the
prayers of the meeting in behalf of about,
sixty little meetings which are now held—
some in garrets, some in cellars ' some in
store lofts, and some in other places—scat
tered all over the city. He would speak of
one meeting particularly. It was the servant
girl's meeting. It began with two or three,
meeting in an out-house or shed in the back
part of a house where one of them resided.
It increased until seventeen of them had
been hopefully converted. Here they met
every night for prayer. The: missionary of
the ward hearing of' it, invited the meeting to
his chapel. The pastor of the 0-ernian
Church Where the girls attended, heard of
what. was going on, and expressed his feara
that they were running wild with some soft
of fanaticism. When these girls heard what the
poster's fears were, they invited him to attend
their meeting and judge for himself: He did
so, and told them to go on, that. this work
was of the Lord.—N. Y. Observer.
A NEW FEEDER FOR THE _LIBERIAN RE-
Ponmo.—A remarkable' interest has been
awakened in the Island of Barbadoes, West
Indies, in behalf of emigration to Liberia.
Two large Companies have been formed,
" The- lirhadoes,Company for Liberia,' of
I which Mr. John W.,Wonel is Chairman, and-
The :Fatherland Union 43 atthadoes' Etniera::-
tion Society for Liberia," of which _fir.
Anthony, Barclay is Chairman. Mr. John
Ashby also writes in behalf of '.a company of
sh'p wrikhts. Seven hundred names have
beep recorded in these Companies. 'At least
,one thousand persons desire to emigrate to
Liberia! In the list before us we rind the

names of farmers, sugar boilers, carpenters,
cabinet-makers, shipwrights, printers, • boot
makers, tailors, bakers, coopers, masons,
school-teachers and scripture-readers. They
are chiefly connected with Episcopalian, Wes
leyan and Moravian Churches. This great
movement is one of the most remarkable
events in the whole history of Colonization.
We find a full and interestin account of it in
the Colonization. Herald for January.
CONTEMPLATED' BUILDING FOR THE
YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION:-
Among the varied interests that mark the
wonderful age in which we are living, there
is one that seems to. be almost overlooked, or
at least unprovided for.
We allude to the provision of commodious
free reading-rooms and places of intellectual
entertainment for the myriads of young men
who congregate our, cities, and fill our board
ing-houses, clerks and apprentices, and errand
boys, many of whom, coming from country
homes, have no one to care how their idle
hours are passed, and for want of better com
panionship are too often found in taverns and
conceit-saloons, forming habits which will ter
minate in the destruction of both soul and
body.
We were forcibly reminded of the necessity
of such an institution upon a recent visit to
the Free Reading-Room of the Young Men's
Christian Association, where we understand
the daily attendance of youthful visitors is
constantly increasing, under the excellent
management of its genial Secretary, Rev. W.
B. Callis.
So great has been the increase of visitors
at these rooms that they are, proving entirely
too small to accommodate all who would
gladly avail themselves of their privileges.
_Efforts have been made to produre larger and
more suitable rooms, but so far without suc
cess, owing to the fact that all the large pub
lic buildings are fully occupied.
Would it not have been an honor to our
city, if the enterprise commenced years ago
had been consummated in the erection , of a
building ample in its dimensions and dedi
cated to the moral and intellectuL advance
ment of the young men of our city? The
importance of such an institution will increase
as the war draws to a close, as the number of
young men out of employment will be largely
increased, and every effort should be made,
as they return from the army, to find employ
ment for their minds as well as their hands.
It-is expected that those who, in the past
few eventful years, have been so bountifully
blessed by the ingathering of wealth, will be
willing to contribute towards so important an
undertaking, and that a building dorrespond
ing with the great Exeter Hall of London
ma, yet be numbered among, the monuments
of our city's greatness and the large liberality
of her citizens.—Philadelphi,a, Inquirer.
The venerable Dr. Gardiner Spring, for
nearlpsixty years the pastor of the Brick
Presbyterian church, New York, is preparing
for the press the memories of his own life' and
times. A work of great:interest' may be Eix
pected.—The Long-Island Bible Society is
about commencing . the work of a re-supply. of
the whole Island — With the Bible.—The
Congregationalists are making an effort to
procure a " Congregational House" for the
useof the denomination, at an expense of
$lOO,OOO, to be located at Boston.—Rome
' last ventures upon one novelty—a premium
for subscribers to a new periodical about to be
issued from the Papal e,ity, under the title of
Journal of the Immaculate Conception. The
premium is a Month's indulgence.. So say the
foreign papers.—S. V. S. Wilder, formerly
an eminent merchant and banker, and a leader
in some of - the good Christian enterprises of
the country, always faithful and devoted,
died in Elizabetb„-N. J., on the 3d inst., in

THE EAST INDIA COFFEE COMPANY,
154 READE STREET, W. Y:,
Three doors from Greenwich street, call universal
attention to their
Ilent's East India Coffee.
Kent's' East India Coffee
Has all the flavor of OLD GOVERNMENT TAV
and is'hut half the price: and also that:
, East India Coffee
Has twice the strength of Java or'any other Coffee
whatever, and wherever used by qux first-etass hotelg
and steamboats the stewards say there is a saving GI
50 per cent.
'tent's .East India Coffee
Is the most healthy beverage known and is verymu
tritious. The weak and infirm may use it at all, times
with impunity. The wife of the Rev:W. Eaves, ideal
minister of the M. E. Church, Jersey City,' who has
not been able to use any coffee for fifteen years, can use
lient's East India Coffee
Three times a day without injury, it'being entirely
free from those properties that produce nervous ex
eitemeut, n
Dr. JAMES BOYLE, of 156 Chambers street, says:
"I have never known any coffee so healthful, nutri
tious and free from all injurious qualities as
Kent's East India.Caltee.
.
I advise my patients to to drink it universally, even
those to whom I have hitherto prohibited the use of
coffee:"
The PRINCIPAL OE' THE NEW YORK EYE
INFIRMARY says: "I direct all the patients of our
Institution to use exclusively •
East India Coffee,
And would not be without it on any account."
The Rey. C. LARUE, an eminent clergyman'of the
M. E. Church. now stationed at Halsey street, Newark,
says of •
Hent's East India Coffee:
" I have used it nearly a year in my family. and find
it produces no ache of the head or nervous irritation,
as in the case of all other coffees.. .It is exceedingly
pleasant, and I cordially.recommend it to all clergy
men and their &baffles."
nenVs East India Coffee
Is used daily in the families of Bishop Ames, Bishop
Baker and many of the most distinguished clergymen
and professionai men in the country.

the undersigned has assumed the General Subscription
Agency for the sale of. United States Treasury Notes,
bearing seven and three-tenths per cent. interest, per

These Notes areissued Under (lat. ut Augustlsth.lBt
and' are payable three years from that time, in cur
rency, or are convertihre at the option of the huldti
into
11. S. 5-20 Six per cent.
GOLD-BEARING BONDS.
These bonds are now worth a premium of nine per
cent., including gold interest from Nor., which makes
the actual profit'on the 7-30 loan, at current rates, in
cluding interest. about ten per cent. per annum, be
sides its exemption from State and municipal taxation,
which adds from one to three per cent. more, according
to the rate levied on other property. The interest is

Notes of all the denominations named will be
promptly furnished on receipt of subscriptions. This
THE . ONLY LOAN IN MARKET
now offered by the Government, and, it is confidently
expected that its superior advantages will make it the
GREAT POPULAR LOAN OF THE PEOPLE.
Less than $50,000,000 remain unsold, which will pro
bably be disposed of within the next 14 days. when
the notes will undoubtedly command a premium. as
has uniformly been the case on closing the subscrip
tions to other Loans. After the exhaustion of this
first issue the sale will continue upon a new issue in
which the privilege of convertibility will not occur at
so early a date as in this now on the market.
In order that citizens of every town and sections of
the country may be afforded facilities for takingthe
loan, the National Banks, State Banks, and Private
Bankers throughout the country have generally
agreed to receive subscriptions at par. Subscribers
will select their own agents, in whom they have con
fidence, and who only are to be resposible for the de
livery of the notes for which they receive orders.
