CHAPEL BUILDING IN LONDON.—The
London Congregational Chapel Building
Society has recently held its anniversary
meeting, at which Mr. Eusebius Smith
presided. During the sixteen years' ex
istence of this institution it has been in
strumental in the erection of sixty chapels,
costing in the aggregate a quarter of a
million of money. These are all now occu
pied by large congregations. .Recently the
society has expended a large sum in the
prchathe and restoration of George White
field's well-known chapel in the Tottenham
Court-rbad.; and this is now crowded _Sab
bath after Sabbath by a numerous body of
attteridants. During last year the income
of th. society was X 12,698,, and by its'
assistrnce six chapels were finished and
opened, all now containing congregationa
of a very encouraging . character.:
FOREIGN MISSIONS. -At the annual
busk ess meeting of the Society for the
Propagation of the Gospel, it was, reported'
that the amount raised during the year
was £102,997' 18p. shoWing. an in
crease over 1863 of £15,165 7s. 2d.—A
poor girl was recently persecuted in County
Sligo for becoming a Protestant. Her
uncle, aunt, and others implicated have
been imprisoned, and the sub--inspector of
police and two constables fined and removed
from the neighborhood. This prompt vin
dication of the law is likely to, have the
happiest effect.—The salary of the Greek
Professorship in Oxford, now held by the
notorious Jowett, one of the writers of
Essays and Reviews, has been raised from
£4O to £5OO.
REVIVAL EFFORTS.--We learn from the
Revival, March 30th, that open-air services
are kept :up in London during the winter.
Services are held, on Sabbath, in localities
where markets and all kinds of traffic, with
all the`'noise and bustle of the week are
going on. We quote from the Revival:—
Nxt,Sunday (Feb. 12), about fifteen of
us met in the Brill in Somers Town at 'ten
o'clock. The place 'is close by the Great
Northern, Railway' Station, between the
St. Pancras and Euston roads. Here, in
several narrow streets, an extensive Sunday
market is held. The great majority of the .
shops are open, and almcst any thing can
be bought. From the artieles exposed for
sale, a 'house could be furnished,' ‘ as well as
a dinner provided. A few years ago; stalls
were also permitted in the streets, but the
parish authorities have prohibited thiit.
Thousands of people flock into these streets
every Sunday, some to purchase, and
others .to look at what is going on. The
tradesmen, especially the butchers, fish-•
mongers, and green-grocers, bawl out their'
goods at the top of their voices, and some
of them make a louder noise to drown the
preacher's voice. But in the midst of this
Babel small groups of persons are gathered
round the various preachers, as absorbed
in listening as if mothing else was going on.
It, is a great help to-have a good staff of
singers in such a place."
FRANCE.
PROG4OBB OF EVA NOELIZ.A.TION.--Thiif
work goes steadily and encouragingly for
wittd, regardless of the excitement raised
about the elections to the councils of the
National Church,-or about the Grevernitient
and the Pope's Encyclical. Pastor Fisch,
of the Free Presbyterian Chiireh;; Writes
to , thi Missionary Committee of .the Irish
Presbyterian Church, giving some: deeply
interesting particiilin of the wOrk.' now
going forward. In . ; ;Haute ' Vienee, a de
partment in, the heart of France, he says:
"The work here grows very remarkably.
Lately we have established new stations in
three towns and nine villages. Two young
men Of different communes, 'having been
touched by the grace of God, , have come to
Ville Favard to be instructed. The one
wi'slies to be a teacher, and `the`^ other' has
commenced his studies for the , ministry:
The. Sabbath-school is largely 'attended.
An important work.has been commenced in,
a little town twelve leagues from Limoges'
It owes its in int man wholiad heard

desire to 'be instructed in evangelicalireli

Dances have completely ceased, because 'the
fiiiitPleritire in
them; not' that they have become morose,
for nowhere is there a happier people.
" In another station; a large proprietor,
whose devotion to the Virgin was extreme,
built a chapel to her, which had become a
place of, pilgriinage. Since he received
the Gospel in his heart, he consecrated the
building to Jessie Christ, and it is now a
place of meeting for those desirous of hear
ing the Gospel. The proprietor is full of
seal; he preachei the truth with boldness;
and, as he has great credit in the country,
he exercises in favor of. the e Gospel a wide
influence."
In the department -of YOune, southeast
from Paris, the people are seeking instruc
tion on all sider.
Aillant we, have had a church and
pastor for ' , fifteen years: .A. „blind man, a
member of the church, who' is so poor that
he eats nothing but dry bread. all - the year,
and who, when the pastor visits him to
read the. Bible, lights a candle, Which is
extinguished the moment the visit -is over,
has nevertheless found means of contribu
ting to the cause of God. One day 'our
evangelistwent to bring him some slight help.
He was astonished when his wife said :
For some time we have been putting aside
a few sous every week for the Societe Evan,
getique. I must give them to you,;' and,
opening a drawer, she brought out five
francs. The field is immense. Our evan
gelist vista now fifty communes.
" In the midst of all this, progress, we
are greatly straitened for want of fends,
and are required to find immediately a suin
exceeding 48500. Oar distress is chiefly
owing to the American war, which has de
prived us fir five years of aid from the
United States. We are making a great ef
fort to rescue our society from, imminent
peril, and are sending collectors throughout
France and'Switserland; and we appeal, in
our Master's name, to all our foreign
friends for help in this the day of our ex
tremity. Do, then, remember us in our
time of need."
MONKS AND NUNS.--108,119 monks
and nuns are stated to have peopled au
thorized convents in France in 1861, double
the number ascertained in 1856, with a
revenue of about four billions of francs,
besides 130 millions in houses and lands.
THE FRENCH AMBASSADOR, Di. de Sar
tiges, recently asked a private audience of
the Roman Pontiff, in order to get him to
facilitate, by his own procedure, the exe
cution of the treaty of September 15. It
appears that this interview was very pain
ful to the representative to France. On
the one hand, Pius IX. persisted in de
claring that he would do nothing, and that
he should quietly await the Lord's
On the other, he uttered some vehenient
words:upon the Imperial policy; and after,
`this ; , audience, he assembled': some of the
caidinals with whom he is most intimate,
and repeated to them the famous watch
word, Non pos.sumus. A Ministerial jour
nal of Paris even announces that the head'
of the Romish qurch is disposed to make
a treaty with Spain, according to which,if
the should be compelled to abandon Rome,
he might find a refuge in' the Balearic
Isles - .---Evang. Christendom.
CAITIOAL POSITION OF FRENCH PRO , -
TF,STANTISIII.—The Protestant Churches.
in . France are passing through - a crisis ,
which is without a parallel in former times.
'During the reigns of Louis XIII„ Louis
XIV., and, Louis XV., the old Huguencits
were at least united aitiongthemselves ;
they 'encouraged and strebg,thened one
another ; and if they suffered ninch, they
had great strength and abundant consola
tion in their fraternal unity.
Now our positionAtjuite,different.` Our
most ecetive en - emied are in our own' bosom;
they, even fill the places of pastors; they are
laboring to demolish • our holy, eitadel,.l33r
allying themselves with Free-thinkers,
Deists, Pantheists, and even Atheists, as
well as with republicans and dethagogues.
They are constantly, invoking the'. great
words liberty and, and progress, ,in order to
secure the plieing of every kind of doe
trinal teaching upon. the .saine leyel; 'and
the irresponsibility' or omnipotence of paa-,
tors.- How are these attacks of - a new kind'
to be surmounted : ? Pie .question is la
solemn one, aricethe &tulle. alone can an

DoN AMBROGIO is a talented and amen,
tric priest; who is evangelizing through
Piedmont and Lombardy on hie;owiv,tic
count. His habit is to move ilknit, with
out any fixed 00', erid to ^address crowds
of people,,wbo 'are ' charmed with his' milli
bearing, an - d - eloqUent speech, in the market
places and from the steps of cathedrals and
churches. At Ivrea, the people were so
fascinated, that' they took possession of
him, and, shoulder high, bore him, :in
triumph to the parish church, where, he
yielded to their solicitations'and preached.'
The 'priests - sued 'foi:l.soo fiand's of dam
ages and a long term of imprisonment, but
the - court only glinted 50 'francs of fine
and, tbreeslays of prison. The priests were
appealed. A.mbrogio;
too,,sppealed to be let free. The caselately,
came before the. Court of the Senate, which!
corresponds to the House of Lords'.f; The
exciting politic's). affair's of-Septeraer last
led to a frequent•postponement; but finally
the case .was decided against the priests,
for their appeal was rejected, and they had,
all the costs. to .pAy.
The 'S•Sliortenrs who follow in his wake
make. large sales, as he is
,constsntly
,urging
the reading of the Bible upon every one:
The people, therefore ask ;the colporteur
not for the Ambrogio's
book. The priests
,may well dread :,him
for he' is 'constantly crying out, 'A)on!ii,
give your money - to - the priest, but to the
poor; the death. of. Christ has brought us
the pardon of our sins, and not the absolu
tion of the priests."
THE PIIELIO CHARITIES OF ITALY, are,
still.monoptdized hy`the priest's. The cot.'
respondent of the: Evangelical Christendom,
says :--" The Christian ,pastors of Milan
have found their sick .members so exposed
to the tormentation of monks and nuns in
the public hospitals, and have been able to
obtain so little,redress, or promise of amend
ment on'the part of the authorities of these
charities, that they have now unitedly ar
ranged to support all the ailing adherents
of: the 'Gospel cause irv'a Convalesoent
Home, already established, and in. which
the charge is three. francs per diem. In
Florence, a British Charitable Fund, simiL
lar to that which has been for thirty years
in operation in Paris,•has this month been
established, for the purpose of aiding in
every way distressed British .subjects.”
ThocorreSpondent of the OAri.stian Work
writes of the - dowries which, he says,.exist
in many parishes, for the well-conducted
daughters of the. poor. To obtain these
dowries a certificate from the parish priest
I is necessary, and, of course, the slightest
odor of. Protestantism is quite sufficient: to
lead the priest to refuse it. Not a few of
these charities have our poor Evangelicals
+o sacrifice, in addition - to those pecuniary
losses which often come upon them, the
result of active persecution, such as loss of
employment, ejection from habitation, and
the like.
Irnms---Nearly .600 children are in the
Protestant schools of Naples. Money and
teachers are called for by the Society for
Diffusing! gospel Knowledge .in Naples

preparation for the withdrawal of the
French army from Rome next year.
Among the indications of the spirit and,
power yet remaining in the priesthood of
Italy, we take the following : The pulpits of
Florence this Lent season are filled with
able monkish preachers, whose passionate
bursts of invective against the Government,
more unrestrained than in former years,
are the subjects of astonishment and indig
nant protest on the part of newspapers and
townspeople. A priest in Monza refuses to
baptize a child by the name of Evangelico
Filippo, and a colporteur . in Venice is im
prisoned and fined 20 florins, with the sei
zure of, 150. Bibles. Several officers in
Florence have seized all the Testaments
given by Miss Burton (a lady who has
been laboring among the soldiers) to the
men of their regiments, and had rthe.men
themselves put under arrest, and one man
_placed in irons.

it her6-worship,for these human deities are

`Society, the first on the ground in this in

couraging indications. "One of the largest
churches in the capital has recently taken
a step, the most important that any church
has yet taken, tending to the stability and
permanency of Christianity in the'country.
They have agreed to provide an annual
stipend adequate to the necessities of their ,
two native pastors; and there is no reason
to doubt that they will fulfil their agree
ment, or that other churches will follow
their example.
Increased attention has beeit given to.
the schools in connection• with the several
congregations, and proportionate encour
agement has resulted. ,
" Glad tidings of the extension of the
Gospel in distant parts multiply upon us,
and the congregatioris and chitrehes, both
in the inknediate and more remote villages,
manifest tokens of steadfastness and pros
perity. New chapels have been . - erected in
several, and others are in progress. At
Ilafy, about five miles to the north of the
capital, the people have built one of the
best finished native chapels which we have
yet.seen in Madagascar. They have fitted
it up with minister's room and vestry; and,
though large,
'it was, on the day on which
it was opened, well filled."

East. The simple-minded natives have
been at times embarrassed to distinguish
them, from Roman Catholics.
The new treaty with Madagascar now

With these exceptions, the whole country
is open to us; but the Government will un

I have known Throfland's Gernian Bitters fivc•rably
for a riumher of years. Ihave used theni in my own
family, and hitve .been so pleased , with their effects
that I was induced,to recommend them to many others,
and, know that they have operated in a strikingly
ben - a - Mal Manner: I take great pleasure in thus pub
licly proclaiming -this fact, and Calling the attention
of those afflicted with the .diseasei for which they are
recommended to these Bitters; knowing from experi
ence that my recommendation will be sustained. Ido
this more Cheerfully' as Hcioliand's Bitters is intended
to benefit the afflicted; and is "not a rum drink."
Yours truly; - - LEVI G. BECK.
