SERMONS PREACHED IN BO§TON ON THE
DEATH OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN. Together

Boston : J. E. Tilton & Co. 16m0., pp- 3 79.
The ear of the general public has never
b_een more readily yielded to the teach
ings of the 'pulpit, than during the four
years of our national trial; and when the
rebellion culminated in the assassination
of Mr. Lincoln, this popular feeling also
seemed to reach its acme. The people,
as by a single impulse, rushed in crowds
to the churches, and hung upon the
words of their spiritual teachers with a
solemnity and an interest almost une
qualled. Our great struggle in almost
all - its phases, and 'especially in the last,
has presented so many moral and Scrip
tural aspects, and has been so closely
and 'grandly connected with the progress
of our country and our race, as sought ,
by Christianity itself, that it has supplied
inspiration to her ministers, and commu
nicated uncommon interest and value to
their discourses. . The Volume before us
is designed to perpetuate some of ~,these
memorable effusions of pulpit oratory,
called forth by the
,death of the Presi
dent. It embraces a report of the fune
ral services at Washington, and twenty
four sermons and addresses by the clergy
of Boston, including .such well-known
names as Drs. Kirk, Stone, Huntington,
Hague, and others. It is a most inter
esting memorial of the occasion; full of
patriotic and wholesome sentiments nobly
expressed. The externals of the volume
are very neat and substantial.
SKELDON. A Manual of Elementary In
struction, for the use of Public and Private
Schools, and Normal classes, containing a
graduated course of object lessons for Train
ing. the Senses and Developing the Facul
ties of Children. By E. A. Sheldon, Su
perintendent of Schools, Oswego, N. Y. ;
assisted by Miss M. E. Jones, and Prof. H.
Krusi. Sixth edition, revised and en

1.2m0. pp. 471. For sale by J. B. Lippin
cott 82 Co.
A very thorough treatise on teaching
by the " object method," 'every part of .
which shows a conscientious regard for
the true interests of the scholar, as well
as for the particular topic of instruction'.
The peculiarity of the method
,pursued
is, that it aims to put in active and in
terested exercise the perceptive faculties
rather than the memory of the pupil, the
memory itself being the more effectually
enlisted for a truth which the scholar
has had a hand in developing. A full
and valuable course of instruction is
marked out and illustrated on all the
leading topics, including color, form; ob
ject, number, size, weight, &c. Many
engravings are given, and the whole is
in a high degree, graphic, itself exempli
fying most successfully the system it is
designed to inculcate. By the way, " ob
jeetteaching," as the introduction informs
us, is no novelty ; being little else than
the Pestalozzian system, modified and im
proved by the aid of further' investiga
tions and experiments. One of the
parties named on the title-page, Krusi,
is the son of a person ;who, for twenty
years, was a leading teacher in the.school
of Pestalozzi himself.
We regard the appearance of 'such
thorough treatises on teaching as this of
Mr. Sheldon, and an,othei. of Prof. Wick
ersham, recently noticed, both of which
recognize the claims of religion and are
written in a truly Christian, though not
dogmatical, spirit, as one of the most
hopeful signs of the times.

ELEVEN PRESIDENTS.
The example and advice of men in office,
and distinguished by their high position,
are sure
,to attract special attention, Even
a bad cause, commended by such example
and,.advice, is brought into new favor.
WhOhen should not a good cause gain
some favorable regard in this way ?
He who holds • the .highest office in the
gift of a nation so large as ours, wielding
power such as no monarch of the Old
World possesses, may claim some respect
from the world for his position. And where
his words and acts are given emphatically
to the cause of virtue, we claim for . them
respectful consideration.
Eleven of the Presidents of the United
States have given their signatures to a cer
tificate that ought to command the atten
tion of every citizen of the country. Three
of the signatures were obtained more than
thirty years ago, by. Mr. E. C. Delavan. The
others have been added from time to time,
and as the incumbents advanced to the
high dignity of their office. - It need not
be doubted, and we have good reason to be
lieve, that the present distinguished chief
ma g istrate will also add his name to this
list of his illustrious predecessors.. The
,certificate is as follows
Being satisfied from observation and ex
perience 'as well as from Medical testimony,
that ardent spirits; as a drink, is not only
needless, but hurtful, and that the entire
disuse of it would tend to promote the
Health, the Virtue, and the Happiness of
the community, we hereby express our con
viction that should the citizens of the
United States, and especially the young
men, discontinue entirely the use of it,'
they would not only promote their own per
sonal benefit, but the good of our country
and the world.

THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, JUNE 15, 1865.
OF THE STANDING COMMITTEE OF TILE
GENERAL ASSEMBLY EPOM PEHLG
CA.TION.
Presented by Dr. Eldridge, of Detroit,
was adopted •by the Assembly. It is as
follows :
The Standing Committee on Publication,
to whom were referred the Thirteenth An
nual Report of the Permanent Committee
on Publication, the Eleventh Annual Re
port of the Trustees irf . the -Presbyterian
House, and other papers, beg leave tore -. port that they have attended ,to the duty
assigned them, and, find, in examining: those
documents, among other reasons for con
gratula4on, and gratitude, theie .strikingly
prominent:
. ,
That the publicationS issued during the
year, both aS to , number and voltme,.are
considerably more abundant than those of
any former year: •
That the funds at the disposal of . this
department are .largely enhanced, the colleo
Lions and donationshaving been increased in
amount, the 850,006 fund completed and *
mostly paid in, while the sales of our publi
cations have Veen advanced to $36,000, from
$22,000 the previous year and $16,000 the
year before.
That $9OOO ham been applied by the
Publication Commiltee, according to the
direction .of the last Assembly, towards
liquidating the incumbrance ($20,000)
upon. the, Presbyterian House.
Upon the basis of such facts as these, we
may turn to the future with new resolution
and fresh hope.
Among the points to be emphatically
mentioned, in the
_judgment of 'your Com
mittee, are
First. The great need of Sabbath-school
books that shall come to us with the im
primatur of-our Church. Why shbuld not
the Publication House be preparing to
issue many such, as are of unquestiona,ble
character, so as to . meet the demands of
the time and keep pace with the develop
ments of the future ? Those of the Union
are many of them excellent; those from Vari
ous other sources are some of 'them very
good and answer the purpose well enough;
but _these,,-sources are outside and their.
purpose we ,do -not: ; .always lunder3tand,
: while wehave,wants no less distinctive and
important. ~ Shouldwe not have. a source
of our .own to look to for the best posSible
material on which to feed and king up the
children and youth in our Sabbatb:sch6olSl
It is time that were thoroughly equipOd
and at' all points ready for the' great' and
glorious work before us— - ; ..
Second. Asti: 'the Periodical; in refer
ence to.which a former Assembly took-some
favoring action. It. would appear; from
statistics, that a monthly, such as was contem
plated, might prove too expensive at the
present time; while one less frequently
issued, tor example, on each alternate
month, would perhaps accomplish the object
in view. The Committee would, therefore,
recommend that the Permanent Commit
tees of the - Church consider the subject of
publishing some such periodical which
they may unite in supporting, in proportion
to the space they require and the funds at
their disposal.
But, in this Connection, a word upon
pressing the circulation of such religious
newspapers as the Hew York _Evangelist;
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, and The
Christian, Herald. These are our denomi
national organs, and we should do more_
than has been done to push them in ad
vance of.all other's, and even to the exclusion
of some which have stolen in where they do
not belong. Out-spoken efforts to set our•
selves right before the people and keep the
principles we love fresh in the hearts of
those who are with us, but are many of
them being insidiously perverted, are abso
lutely necessary. The importance of this
matter at the West, as well as at the East,
wherever religious papers from without are
getting into our families, cannot well be over
rated and should be watchfully acted upon.
But the burden of our report concerns the
great need of more earnestness still, on the
part of us all, ministry, eldership and mem
bership, in sustaining the Publication Com
mittee and urging on the pnblication cause.
The condition of affairs in the Church, the
new fields opening Southward, the peculiar
exigencies of the transition period into
which we are passing as patriots and ris
dans, conspire to efhtince the importance
of this - department of the work. Strides
of progress should at once. be prepared for
and attempted. The collections and _dona
tions ought to be increased without delay,
every church in the connection, if pot
every individual, regularly forwarding their
contributions.
Nor will money alone answer; unless the
publications are circulated, it will be locked
up in them, and the wheel stopped at the
fountain. Then will come stagnation. at
the publication house, and the shelved
under useless burdens, while destitute
thousands hunger- and thirst for suitable
religious reading. The , publications must
go forth. The circulation must be kept
up, and. immensely extended. As a_ de
nomination, we believe in the press; let us
show our faith by our works. We love
sound doctrine and sweet Ch
in ristian narra
tive, becomingly arrayed print, we feel
the necessity now laid upon us of giving
our full share of influence to the control
ling forces which form society and shape
the future. Let us act up to these sound
and wise convictions. The-religious litera
ture which we have, and as a denomination
can. produce, must be thrown into the work.
By individual efforts, by ecclesiastical
action, by, presbyterial arrangements and
agencies, we must take strong hold of the
people and the age. Let us not flinch or
alter. It is the good work of the Lord
it is our duty, by every proper means, to
quicken, deepen, and extend the flow of
these wholesome publications to the utmost
bounds and all over the field. Let the
hearts and hands of the Publication Com
mittee be relieved and stimulated, the im
mense power of the Church drawn out and
her infinite resources developed, _in re
sponse to the importunate cries of the
time upon which we have fallen, and in
harmony with the wonderful providence of
God among IA in'this land.
In conclusion the- Committee would offer
the following resolutions :
isuttautrau.
REPORT
1 Resolved, That the churches be re
commended to increase their contributions
to the publication cause with a view to
more extended and thorough operations,
and with special reference to affording facili
ties for the gratuitous distribution of tracts
and books among the freedmen.
2 Resolved, That the Presbyteries be
recommended to appoint unemployed min
isters within their own bounds to explore
the field and act as colporteurs in circula
ting the books of the Publication Commit
tee.
3 Resolved, That the recommendation of
the last Assembly that a Monthly periodi
cal be issued by the Publication Committee,
as a medium-of communication between the
church and its permanent committees, in
the support of which these committees shall
unite in proportion to the space they may
require and the fmadi at their dispoial, be
renewed.

AZARIAR ELDRIDGE, Chairman.
THE . RELIGTOUS PRESS,
[ADOPTED FRIDAY, MAY 26.]
Edward D. Mansfield, LL.lrt Offered a
report on the Religious Press, as follows :
The Committee appointed by the last
Assembly to report,on the relations of the
Family Religious Newspaper to the,Church,
'find that, the. subject committed to them
claims now for the: first time the attention
of the General Assembly. This is not,
however, because the Assemby has not ap
preciated the value and power of the Press
as an instrument of evangelization; for in
1846 it appointed a Doctrinal Tract Com
mittee, which has grown into a Permanent
Committee of Publication with a capital of
850,000 and a long,list of valuable tracts
and books. The . Assembly has also, from
time to time, commended the Presbyterian .
Quarterly Review to the confidence andl
patit:make of its churches, and filaally last
yea:l..; at Dayton, authorized the
, Rublication
of a monthly periodical as ihn organ of the
Permaiient Committee.' But` it is patent to'
every man that` the riaspaper has a wider
arid , deeper 'influence upon the, 'mem
bers .of our •congregations. than. tracts;
books, or :quarterly' reviews. *-It -comes.
nearer than any ,of7thein to the : living
preacher in the time-_ard manner of; its
ministrations. Hence, if the press ,is , to be ;
recognized by the: Qhurchas an instrumen
talityZor, good suptilied tri 'her by, the pro
vidence of" God, she ought, to take a deep
interest in, the most popular and influential
of its issues,,the newspaper, and try to use
it so as to promote - the good of men and the
glory of God. Thus far, there• can be no'
difference of opinion. But how shall the
Church manifest its interest and try to use
the newspaper ' ?:Here there is great di
versity of opinion and feeling.
The Methodist Episcopal Church early
took the religious newspaper under its de
nominational-pactronage and control; estab
lished papers, appointed publishers and ed
tors, and made all its itinerants ex ojicio
newspaper agents, pe_growth, compact
ness, and power, of that greatdenomination
show the wisdom of this policy. Yet even,
in that Church there have been some who
rebelled against this arrangement, as abridg
ing freedom of discussion and the liberties
of the people, and independent papers have
from time to time been springing up.
In our ,own Church there has been a great
deal of Presbyterial and Synodical action
upon the subject of newspapers. Those
which have been considered organs of the
churches in partinular sections have been
commended, and our mirifiters have labored
hard and often gratuitously to sustain them.
One paper has been owned and controlled
for-more than twelve years by the four Sy
nods of Ohio, Indiana, -Cincinnati, and Wa
bash, associated - together for that purpose,
and the resuls of the experiment have been
satisfactory. • Have all these experiments
by other, churches and by our , inferior judi-,
catories developed light enough on the sub
ject to show us that the Assembly can and
should do anything in the prenaises ?
The facts briefly are : We have three
weekly newspapers 'that are recognized as
repreSenting the denciniination. They are
located in three of our principal cities.
They are equally loyal to the Church, and
not rivals but co-workers in promoting its
interests. These papers 'have all toiled
hard and sacrificed much for the Church ;
not' one of them could be spared ; all of
them should be liberally supported by our,
congregations. One or more of them ought
to be in every family that attends upon our
Sabbath preaching. They are the most
efficient CC-workers that. our ministers can
have.
Yet. with a recorded membership of
about 140,000, representing at a low esti
mate 50,00.0 families, it is probable that
nearly or quite 40,000 families connected
with our,churches take none of the papers
that are loyal 1,0 us as a denomination. Do
they take no religious papers ? Probably
half of them do not, and read only secular
papers ; the other half take papers that are
not loyal to us, and thus their attachment
to the Church is weakened and under
mined. . -
It seems to your Committee that the Gen
eral Assembly should not regard such a
state of things with indifference; that as
" a bond of union, peace, correspondence,
and general confidence," - as organized to
promote "charity and belief," &c., (Form
of Government; p. 364,) it should at least
send forth to the churches an expression of
its views; should encourage those who are
laboring to advance its interests, and should
strive to save its people from influences
that are secularizing or schismatic. We
therefore propose for_the adoption of the
Assembly the following resolutions
1. That The Evangelist, THE AMERICAN
PRESBYTERIAN, and The Christian Eikald,
and otl4er weekly - newspapers which are
connected with our Church, be requested,
if agreeable to them, from time to time to
inform the Assembly of the number: of
copies taken by families connected with our
denoMination, to the end that the Assembly
may take such action as it shall deem best
for its own interest, to extend their circu
lation.
2. That the Assembly earnestly exhorts
the families in its congregations to sub
scribe for and-read one at least of the pa
pers published for us as a denomination,
regarding the influence of such a paper as
second only to that of the preached Word
in the moral and spiritual culture of the
Christian household.
_ 3. That in view of the influence of the
periodical press, the vast amount of popular
newspaper reading that is demoralizing,
the ministers of churches connected with
the Assembly be requested to preach on
the subject, particularly impressing upon
Church- memberB the duty of being loyal to
the denomination in this- respect, and the
duty - of parents to provide the right kind
of papers for their -children-to.read. -
It was listened to , ,with.iutereSt and
adopted .unanimously,

The feeling of security which such an insurance
gives to those dependent upon their own labor for
support is worth more than money. No better or
more satisfactory use can be made of so small a sum.
