Tilt REIMS lOW ABROAD PRESBYTERIAN UNION IN SCOTLAND. A fresh interest has been given to this sub ject, which seems, for a time, to have dropped out of view, by a great meeting of friends of the movement, .held in the free Church of Paisley, a city near Glasgow, on Monday, February 27th. The meeting comprised prominent ministers and laymen of the Free, United, and Reformed Presbyterian Churches, and constituted the fifth anniversary of the friends of Union, under the auspices of the Association of Office-bearers in the three churches, for the Promotion of Union. The chair was occupied by a layman, who made an excellent opening address, and addresses were delivered by Dr. Buchanan, of the Free Church; Dr. Cairns, of the United;-and Dr. Symington, of the Reformed. We - give ex tracts from each of these addresses. Mr. Brown, the chairman, said : "Augmented and augmenting interest, we think, in the union of the three churches, is felt, and the large assembly now convened; the largest that has ever met in connection with this object, is a proof of the progress it has made." • He then proceeded to consider and reply to three objections to union: Ist, the united body would be too large. Mr. Spurgeon, it seems, has felt it necessary to give a deliver ance on the suNect, and this is, his objection. 2d, the want of a sufficient degree ot spirit uality, and of a sufficiently high stsndard of discipline in the bodies proposing to unite. 3d, the •sustentation fund and educational questions. To each of these points Mr. Brown made separate replies,• and said in general : " When looking at such difficulties, and listening to them when urged by honest friends of the union, we have found relief in looking back to the holy women, on the first day of the week, on their way to the Sepul chre, while it was yet dark, revolving in their own minds, and proposing to one another the question, 'Who shall roll away the stone from the door of the Sepulchre?' So, when the question is asked, who will roll away the difficulties that bar the entrance to the temple of union? we answer, Fear not, only believe; as you approach the temple, light from Heaven may dawn upon your path, and a voice be heard saving, 'Speak unto the peo ple-that they go forward.' " The Rev. Dr. Robeit Buchanan spoke on "The evils resulting from the divisions of the Christian Church, and the consequent duty of promoting, on sound Scripture principles, ecclesiastical union." He said : "In address ing to' this meeting a few observations on the evils resulting from divisions of the Christian Church, I must begin by adverting to the opinion which many hold that these divisions, instead of doing any harm, are a source of great and positive good." He dwelt much upon the contrast between the church and the market -place. In the latter place competition ,and rivalry were an advantage; not so in the chure,h. The carnal mind finds in these div isions, an argument for rejecting religion altogether or regardino - a it with utter indiffer ence. " However, God, in His wonderful and Merciful' providence, may cause the divisions of His church to serve at times some useful purpose'; in their own nature and tendency these divisions are evil, only evil, and that continually. . . . Yes, if there be a subject or sight fitted to fill the medita tive Christian with sorrow and shame—fitted to make him clothe himself with sackcloth and sit in ashes—it is the subject, of the divi sions of the Church of Christ—it is the sight of the misetiefs which these divisions have caused—of the fatal hindrances which they have opposed. to the conversion •of the world.. (Hear, hear.) Marius, the banished Roman, sitting alone amid the ruins of Carthage— Rome's once mighty rival—has been thought a scene fitted, by its inherent pathos, for the poet's fancy or the painter's hand. But is it not a scene sterner and darker still that would exhibit that banished archangel who once led the armies of heaven, sitting amid the ruins which division had caused in the Church of hrist, and smiling with fiendish malignity ,ver the blighted hopes and blasted prospects of a perishing world—(loud applause)—of a world in which, eighteen centuries after the coming, the death, and the resurrection of Christ—of a world in which, eighteen cen turies after Christ issued to His servants the grand commission to preach the gospel to every creature—more than. four-fifths of its population is still sitting in darkness and in the region and shadow of death? . . While the Evangelical Alliance has served an import ant epd, we cannot accept any such alliance as the landing-place of Christian union—as all that we are to aim after or to endeavor to at tain. No; the Alliance has been one of the pioneers in this great cause—but this is all. It has raised the q' qtion of union among the churches, but has no means solved and settled it. There rc a more excellent way than that of any mere Evangelical Alli ance, and it is the way which the churches here this evening represented are at this moment following. . . . In a word, and to conclude, where the 'case in hand is that of churches in one napow country like Scotland, of churches all sprung from the same ecclesi astical parentage—of churches all glorying in the contendings and sufferings for truth and righteousness by the same ecclesiastical ances try—of churches all holding the same Calvin istic and evangelical faith, and the same principles of spiritual independence and reli gious freedom, for which those noble confessors of other days bled and died—the real question ought surely to be, not is it lawful for such churches to come together and be one, but rather, is it lawful for such churches—the Reformed Presbyterian, the United Presby terian, and, the Free—to be anything else than one Free,United, Reformed resby terian Church of Scotland." Dr. Cairns, of Barwick, spoke at length of the progress - made by the Joint Committee, half of whose'work he said, was done. " Of nine topics marked out for investigation as to the real views and practicerof the Churches represented, they have passed in review four, and are hopefully engaged upon the fifth; and there is no reason to apprehend that the remaining questions will exceed, nor even that they will equal, in difficulty those which have been so amicably discussed, and so har moniously adjusted, so far as the committee can adjust them, already. Only on one point out of the four already travelled over has there appeared diversity—that, as all the world knows . , bearing . on the long-vexed ques tion of the civil magistrates ; but even here there has been found so much ground in com mon that I for my part (1-3 not see Why the outstanding differences may not be forborne with. On the whole question of doctrine they are perfectly united, and such shades of doubt and anxiety as had gathered in some minds around this region needed only frank conference and explanation utterly to dispel them, There is left to be discussed by the committee little more than the finance of the different Churches, and then, dealing with education grants, together with the extent of the proposed union north or south of the Tweed; and when I look back on the light which God has in so many ways granted, I cannot look on these as presenting any fea tures of insuperable difficulty." The discussion in the committee room had brought them so near together that a leading , United Presbyterian member lately re marked, ." We are in danger of loosing our several identities." There has also been a considerable increase of contact outside in the way of ministerial exchanges .and own- DIUUIOn iniercourse. I may say for myself that I have had the greatest pleasure in this work. Since these negotiations began I have preached for Free Church brethren from Orkney to the foot of the Cheviots, and I have also had a learned principal of the Free Church dispensing the communion to my people, who received the very satisfactory verdict that he could not have been known from a United Presbyterian. Nor is the re ciprocity all on one side. Yesterday, when preaching anniversary sermons for my friend Mr. Middleton, in Glasgow, it delighted me that Dr. Samuel Miller came to the help of that invalid brother in the afternoon; and there was something symbolical in the color of the tickets—red in the morning, for the red cross of voluntaryism; blue in the after noon for the blue banner of Free Churchis.n • and in the evening white, denoting thetlend ing of these and all others in one unsullied ray of puke perfection." Dr. Cairns then proceeded to speak on the topic assigned him, " The Nature, Obliga tion and Importance of Christian Union, -as indicated in our Lipid's intercessory Prayer," and concluded as follows ;--" Is it not plain, even to the most careless observer, that if we succeed in our union 'enterprise, a vast and blessed force is brought to bear on the world's unbelief? We make a counter demonstration to all the rationalism, to all the half-belief, to all the un=belief of our tirifes;:ailesting atten tion to Christ and his Cross, exalting the ancient and eternal gospel as the one living, all-conquering power of moral impression and transformation, and exhibiting Christianity in its sweetest, purest, most world-subduing enegy, as radiant with all the light and clothed with all the tenderness of love. We wrest from Romanism its favorite argument. We match its bastard and simulated unity with a genuine and a true, consecrating by our very toleration of difference the right of free en quiry, and thus giving a worth, a reality, a sublimity to our vast and far extending con cord, which shall tell for Christ's truth over the wide world ! I hail the coming change (God grant that I may not be disappointed) as the dawn of a brighter epoch than our be loved country has witnessed since the Reform ation I I hail it as the answer to the prayers of saints, martyrs, and confessors, whose names still stir our hear,ts to the bottom, and whose longings for union are with God I I would hail it with all humility as the answer to the prayer of the great Intercessor, whose time to favor Zion is come, and who is about to employ, it may be, the mighty host that this union shall muster in one array to His standard, to prepare foi, or actually to win, some of the commencing victories of the mil lennial day !" Rev. Wm. Symington addressed the meet ing on " Ecclesiastical Union necessary to the full Development and Manifestation of Chris tian Union." The speech is but partially quoted in the' Weelcly Review, to which we are indebted for the materials of the above sketch. Mr. S. spoke of the ecclesiastical feuds and contentions in Scotland, since the Reformation, as presenting a. subject of re flection melancholy and humiliatin4. He re garded the obstacles in the way of union as formidable, but was "strong in the hope that continued friendly conference would show them to be not insurmountable." The meeting was concluded with devotional exercises and the usual votes of thanks given at transatlantic meetings of the sort:` CI - IFltell OF ENGLAND. Humiliating indeed would be the position of the Church of `England, if the , ground boldly taken in convocation by the Liberal Party, represented by Dean Stanley, can be sustair ed. In a late session of the lower house of the Convocation of Canterbury, the Dean brought in a paper calling in question the legality of the judgment formally passed by convocation against the "Essays and Re views" which he and his party had vainly resisted. An additional gravamen. was presented by the Dean of Bristol, in which he considered that Convocation had acted illegally in pass ing a Synodical judgment without the assent and sanction of the Crown. He held that no. xesolution of Convocation became a - Synodical act until the Crown, as the chief authority within the Synod, ratified it and permitted its promulgation. He, therefore, considered that the Convocation had hazarded its just con sideration in the country, by claiming for its resolution the character, weight, and author ity of a Synodical judgment, whereas it was in fact and law no Synodical act at all ; and that in doing so it had subjected its members to the penalties prescribed by the Act of Sub miNsion. The so-called liberal party thus design, if possible, to convict the orthodox of disloyalty in their efforts to maintain the doctrinal purity of the Church ; au i since the privy council has decided that the doctrines taught in "Essays and' Reviews" are not contrary to the teachings of the Church, and that their authors chariot be ejectedrfrOm their• positions or deprived of-good and regular standing, it seems to us a plausible inference or the Deau of Bristol and his friends that those who re sist and seek to nullify the decision are oppo sers of the Government. The Church of England is a rationalized State Church, so far as the essentials of government are concerned. Truly orthodox men have no business within its pale. ABDUCTION CASES in connection with Romish. convents seem to be on the increase in England. One which occurred at Bromp ton. is still under investigation. The Christian Work says "this is one of many instances." It also gives the followidg case, which would seem to show that the once proverbial Protes tant vigilance of the British Government was a thing quite of the past: "Lately a girl was carried through Dover by night to Belgium, with her feet bound and a shawl round her face—not tight enough, by some bungling, to stop her screamsfor help. She is asserted to be a Protestant. Dover was ashamed of this assault on a weak woman, and the Mayor complained to the Home Se cretary, who replied that the Crown lawyers pronounced it to be wholly illegal ; but he would not do more than mildly rebuke the innocent sisters, who surely did not mean any harm. So the wrong is unremedied, and the robbery condoned; but the stolen property is not restored." The London Weekly Review, of March 4, in a powerful article on the inspection of con vents, thus speaks of this extraordinary case : " What it is that the Ultramontanes would riot do for their Church, we have yet,to learn. What Sir George Grey will do for the vindi cation of personal freedom against Romish craft or violence is illustrated by the astound ing fact that, after being advised by the law officers of the Crown that the conduct of those who forced the girl aboard the ship at Dover was illegal, he declined taking proceedings, on the ground that the deforcement had been well-intentioned! Well-intentioned As if Phillip 11. ever condemed a heretic to death, as if the Inquisition ever pulled the limbs of a prisoner out of joint, without the best of intentions ! As if law had in any case regard to intention apart from fact ! Soothing, is it not, to the agitated Englishmen to know that Sir George Grey will not put the Jaws of the country in force against Ultramontanes, if satisfied of their good intentions? "The upshot of the whole truth is, that the cry for Parliamentary interference in thin matter is becoming loud. A meeting was held in London on Friday week, at which re solutions in favor of visitation of convents were passed by' acclamation. It is probable that,the, question will;be brought before Par liament, and we trust that, if no other imme THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, TH_ITRSDAY, MARCH 30, 1865 diate result follows, a temperate and adequate discussion will show the public the exact state of the case, and suggest means to cure or mitigate the evil." RICHARD WEAVER bad been preaching the last of February and first of March in Dublin, in Merlon Hall. Though accommodating three to four thousand people, it is too small for the crowds flocking to hear him. A MONTHLY CONFERENCE Of the Open-air Mission Society is held in London. At the one held February 27th, 150 preachers and friends were present, Lord Radstock in the chair. The subject of discussion was " The manner in which our Saviour dealt with Indi viduals." The Chairman, Rev. Wm. Brock, and others spoke. REVIVAL IN THE SHETLAND ISLES.—Mr. James Adam, a lay Evangelist, we suppose, has been - laboring with extraordinary success on these Islands. S. Wells Writes to the Revival of March 9th, that Mr. Adam, before • leaving for the. Islands, requested him to join in prayer for the- conversion of a thousand mils by his instrumentality. Mr. Wells says his faith wavered before so large a number, but Mr. Adam believed. The results .are given in a letter from Mr. Adam, dated Feb. .13th. He says:—" Since this month came in, it has been the most glorious time I have yet spent; in those Islands. Although I have been very weak in body, yet every night I have had meetings, and the crowds of people are great;'they are like to tread - one upon another, and every night we never have less than forty to sixty anxious souls. So, my dear brother, pray on. I would like to have aOOO souls before I leave these Isles. Now I think I havegot a deal above 2000 ; so, would you ask the Lord to give me them?" BISHOP OF LONDON S FUND.—At a public meeting held in London, February 28th, at which the lord mayor presided, the bishop stated that the income of this fund, for the first year, had, with interest on that part which was invested, amounted to £100,456, besides ,a 2,000 promised. The bishop said : "They did not wait for an incumbent to write to the fund and ask for assistance ; but having a ;statistical map before them, showing where help was needed, they went and offered succor and assistance where most required. Be found, that there were eleven neWchurches with new districts, each of which could not be built for a less sum than £9,000, and there was reason -to rejoice that others had been stimulated to engage in the work of church extension." The Christian Work says :—" Provision has been made for the employment of forty eight missionary clergy. Grants have also been voted for forty parochial curates. With in the same period grants have been paid for forty-seven Scripture Readers, whose stipends are entirely, or in part, paid from the fund. Grants have also been made in aid of the stipends of fifteen parochial mission women." The late elections in the Reformed Church, by which orthodox men were chosen to the Presbyterial Council in Paris, by a very small majority, have been confirmed by the eonsistory, notwithstanding the protest of three rationalist pastors, Messrs. Martin Raschoud, Coquerel, and Montandon, who have appealed to - Governme.nt, on the'gr•ound of the vexed question of personal appearance having been deemed:necessary for the of electors. But this objection should have been presented before January to be, legally attended to. Universal suffrage, with no religious guarantee worth naming, has also gwen a majority to radicals in many places, leaving the pious inhabitants as sheep without a shepherd. Secession is expected to be the consequence. In one place, a man of note came forward to be received as mem ber of a free church, declaring that "he would not be less Huguenot than his fathers." In another, eighty out of four hundred are ready to join the free church, and many more in others. The necessity of seeking out the unknown Protestants of the capital, in view of the elections, has opened an immense field for, evangelists, whose work thereby has doubled in extent, and it is not unlikely that men first called together for electioneering purposes, will continue to meet, and hear and read the Word of God together. - INCREASE' OF CONVENTS.-Th journals interested in Statistics notice, among other signs of activity, the increase of convents, and state-the fact that in Toulouse, where, in 1790, there were thirty-seven , in 1865 there are sixty-five !, The Sacre Cur commenced upon nothing in 1804, and now possesses thirty-two millions of fraiics in houses and lands alone. THE FRENCH COMMITTEE who have charge of the evangelization of this country, bave recently published a report of their opera tions and their prospects. Six young Spaniards are preparing themselves under the direction of the committee to act as Evangelists. ,Two still younger pupils are preparinc , to take the place of the older ones when they enter upon their work. Among. the six are two brothers of Matamoros. Matamoros himself is studying with tour of the candidates at Lausanne. The churches in Spain, which were crushed by recent, per secution, are coming. together again under the guidance of their Evangelists. More over, there are yet, in this classic laud of the Inquisition, a great number of the friends of the truth, unknown to the public, yet more important than is , generally believed. `• Seve ral months ago,' • says the report, " we re ceived from the widow of a Spanish Chris tian, a list of names. unknown even to the persecuted brethren from Malaga, and which shows that, in several large cities of Spain, there are friends of the gospel in no way con nected with those previously known to us. In Portugal, the government is as tolerant of our efforts as Spain is intolerant, and the good good: results of this favorable disposition have been making themselves manifest for some time past. The word of the Lord is constantly gaining ground in Portugal, and from Portugal we can act directly upon Spain." An interesting interview is also mentioned between the returning Mexican Ambassadors and a Spanish evangelist at Oran in Algiers. The vessel on which the Ambassadors were returning lay in that port for sometime. So deep was the impression made upon these officials, that several of them besought the evangelist to preach the gospel in Mexico where be would be received with joy. When Matamoros heard of it, he .offered to go at once. The committee, however, did not yet think the time ripe, but hoped before long to commence operations in that country. The One Hundred and Nineteen Protestants against Dr. Schenker s continuance in the Theological Seminary in the so-called Evan gelical Church of Bade; have prepared a paper in reply to the rejection by the Ecclesi astical authorities of their protest, in which they insist upon two points: Ist, that Dr. Schenkel has transgressed the limits of Evan gelical liberty as a minister of the church and director of the seminary; and 2d, that the principles announced by the church authori ties in their deliverance upon the confession of our church, are not in accordance with the constitution, and tend to the dissolution of the church. This address was sent to the au thorities of the church, who returned it as "inadmissible," intimating, however, as has done in England with regard to the signers of the Oxford Declaration of the orthodoxy of the church standards, that the act was one FRALNCt SPAI GERMANY. of a disloyal tendency, and complaining that nothing was contained in the Declaration which had not previously been found in the Protest. This complaint is denied by the correspondent of the N. Ee. Kirchenzeitung, who says the declaration contains much new and weightmatter, directed not against Dr. Schenkel, as in the protest, but against the matter of the Deliverance of the church au thorities themselves. The authorities also complain 4at the declaration was scattered broadcast *long the churches, as if with a view of stifring up strife; but it is a suffi cient answ4r to this that the deliverance was previously/ thus" distributed and believers were called on to nentralize, if possible, its evil effects. The position of the protesters continues to awaken sympathy. Besides the address issued by the majority of the clergy of Berlin, others have been sent, numerously signed, by clergymen in Pomerania, under the leader ship of that General Superintendent, Dr. Jaspis, and by clergymen in Posen and Koen igsberg under the General Suerintendents, Drs. Cranz and Moll. In acorclance•wittt Dr. Pliednee s appoint ment, made shortly before his death, his true wife and helpmeet became superintendent of the -Deaconess Institution at Kaiserswerth, and was confirmed in that position after the death of her husband, by the managers of the RhOinish- Westphalian Society for the,Train ing and Employment of Evangelical Deacon nesses, Oct.. 17. Her son-in-law, Pastor. Dis selhoff, was chosen a member and made the Secretary of the. Board; her son George, a candidate for the ministry, was also made an associate officer in one of the institutions. PASTOR HA_RMS is about enlarging the field tin of his famous Hermasbuit , Mission, hith erto restricted entirely to the Ca - ffres. He takes the Teloogoo station in India which, the N. Ea Kirchenxeitung says, an American Society has been compelled to abandon, on account of the war. The station with the missionary udii it, Grcening, has been un dertalcon by Harms; and a missionary who had been compelled to leave India on account of ill health, has placed himself at the dispo sal of the Hermannsburg pastor, and is al ready on his way to reinforce Greening. DUCHY 01' NASSAU: This little wincipality, in the western part of. Germany, is of the united, or evangelical confession. A Pastoral Conference was formed for the duchy on the 31st of last October. .The first article of the constitution, adopted after cousiderab e debate and spirited opposition On the part of a: rather " minority, is as follows :---" The Conference makes the UNION, as resting upon the Scripturei and the Evangelical Confessions of Faith, the basis of its operations." An ex ecutive committee was chosen, at the head of which was placed Dr. Otto, of Ilerborn. The first regular meeting will be held the present spring. AUSTRIA. HINDRANCES TO RELIGIOUS LIBERTY.- Not only in. Tyrol, but, also in Croatia, every practicable ,hindrance in thrown in the way_of the building of Protestant churches. In Agram, the'permission to,build which had been given in 1860, was lately hunted up and withdrawn by the governor's eounsel. RUSSIA'. „ . A.coording,to. statistics furnished by the Mi nister of the Interior, there are, in the popu lation of 'Russia, .nearly 55,000,000 adherents of the. Orthodox Greek Church. There are 1,000,006 Protestants, especially in the Baltic .Provinces: 2,800,000 Catholics, mostly in the west:, Armenian Christians 500,000. The numer of Jews .reaches nearly 1,450,000. Of Mahommedans nearly 5,700,000. Finally, in Siberia there are nearly 5,000,000 heathen. Esthonia and Lithuania, (comprising nearly the half of the agricultural population of the Provinces) which, ,some score of years ago, had been led to, go over to the Greek Church, have of late frequently expressed the wish to be allowed to come back to Protest antism, which, as is well known, would be contrary to Russian law. Last year several parishes joined not only in the practice of baptism without the assistance of the clergy, but also to refrain from visiting the Greek Church entirely. An exceedingly earnest re quest was laid before an imperial commis sioner for permission to return to the evan gelical faith.. From the magnanimous and gentle nature of the Emperor Alexander 11., it is expected that he will not refuse his con sent to this request. The Greek Bishop of Riga, strangely enough, imagines that the cause of this movement is to be found in the absence of igrages of the Saints from the Greek Churches of Esthonia and Lithuania, and to remedy the . difficulty has Ibruished 50,000 rubles from Im is better to yield a little than quarrel a great deal, The habit of standing up, as people call it, for their (little) rights is one of the most disagreeable and undignified in the world.' -Life is too shbrt for the perpetual bickering which attends such a disposition; and unless a very momentous affair indeed, where other people's claims and interests are involved, we question if it is not wiser, hap pier, and more prudent to yield somewhat of our precious rights than squabble to maintain them.

The use of three bottles of these Bitters. at the beginning of the present year, was followed by evident relief, and restoration to a degree of bOdily and mental vigor which I had not felt for six months before, and had almost despaired of regaining.
