would be glad to hear from them before going any farther. The brethren from Philadelphia told the congregation, that the ministers and churches of the city had sympathized with them in their struggles to erect a house of worship here, and had rendered a little help in the prosecution of this good work, and that ;they were anxious to see the house entirely free from debt. While they could not speak for those ab sent, they believed the $6OO could be raised in Philadelphia by due diligence, and perseverence. They therefore pledg ed for themselves $125, and their per sonal efforts to secure the balance, $415. Now, said the pastor to his people, are you ready at this time, to engage to raise the balance, $650 ? Said he, I will give $lOO toward this object, and then one and another of the congregation followed in rapid succession, of various sums from 50 to 5 dollars, till the whole sum was pledged. This is one of the most hope ful church enterprizes we have ever known. The people have done well, very well. Though they were taxed heavily to build their own dwellings, and get their lands or gardens ready to yield them a support, they were not unmind ful of the house of God. They felt this was an enterprise that could not be de ferred till their own houses were com menced and finished. They have mani fested great zeal and liberality in this cause, and they deserve to be helped to pay the debt that is still on the church building. We hope our brethren of Phila.: de]phia, who are doing so much for every good cause, will not shut out the appeal of this noble church from their favor. Any contributions for this object, may be sent to the care of Rev. Robt. Adair, No. 1334 Chestnut street. The building is 40 by 60 feet, and seats about 500. It is well filled every Sabbath. The con gregation supports their pastor now with out any missionary aid. R. A. AN UNSPOKEN SPEECH. MR. EDITOR :—During the discussion in the General Assembly between Presi dent Fisher and others, of the question of reception to church-membership, an elder not accustomed to public debate, did not make the following speech : " Mr. Moderator—l rise to state a case. Several years ago a married lady came before our session, related a satisfactory Christian experience, and asked to be received into our church. The session vOted to receive her, and she was to be baptized and come to the communion next day. But her husband said to her, I am deeply anxious on the subject of re ligion, and hope by the next communion to unite with you. Wait for me.' She is waiting yet. She has not been bap tized or come to the communion. Other wise she seems to lead a consistent Christian life. " Mr. Moderator—What I am stating is a fact. And the question which I wish, through you, to propose to the Assembly is this : is she, or is she not, a member of our church 7" ANswER---The usage of the individual session must be consulted. If it is the custom of the session to vote to admit on condition of baptism and profession of faith, then, the condition being unfulfilled, the party is not a member. If no such condition was made, she is a member. In either case, it is a great pity she put off a solemn and plain duty, even upon the plausible plea of her almost per suaded husband. He would probably have been in the church with her, if she had come as soon as she saw the path of duty plainly. LIBL: I .L BEQUESTS.

The patriotic ladies, who for four years have ministered to the wants of the thou sands of soldiers on their march through Philadelphia, or their confinement in our hospitals, have now formed themselves into an association to procure for them and for our seamen a delightful home. To this home every Pennsylvanian who has exposed his life for us will be welcomed. This association, under the auspices of many distinguished citizens, among whom are the Governor of the Commonwealth and the Mayor of Phila delphia, invite the co-operation of the bene volent to their efforts to raise for this object a large amount of money by a Fair to- be held in this city next October. Mrs. Daniel Haddock, the President, has gone to Harris btrg and other town to prosecute this great enterprise. E. D. SAUNDERS, Corresponding Secretary. SPEER'S SAMBURG WlNE.—Messrs. Chil ton & Co., the eminent chemists of New York, " pronounce it pure and for medicinal purposes superior to other wines. Its effects upon the system being mildly stimulating, diuretic, sudorific and tonic, and beneficial in affections of the kidneys and chronic dis eases, with general debility of the constitu tion." Dr. _Harris of the N. Y. Hospital, "finds it an excellent tonic and gentle stimulant preferable to the commercial port and other wines, and recommends it especially for ladies." Dr. Parish of Philadelphia pro nounces it to be a purely unadulterated juice of the grape, posessing much medicinal virtue, and uses it for its purity, fine flavor, medicinal properties, and non-intoxicative qualities, &c." Our limited space forbids any more extracts from letters of similar im port from numerous physicians and clergymen, many of the latter using it as a communion wine in preference to foreign wines.—Har pers' Weekly.
