It will be.seen that .the;-income of the Bible Society alone is near a million of dol lars in specie, while the grand total for the year is, about six and a half millions, on the same basis. We are glad to note the very decided in crease reported in the gifts of the Free Church of 'Scotland to Foreign Missions ; from the paltry sum of fifty, sixty or seventy five thousand, it has- risen to one hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars, a gain of 66 per cent, in the year. < This is the greatest proportionate gain enjoyed by any . one society. We may see in this one of the fruits of Dr. Duff's return and labors among hie countrymen,as head of the, Cem mittee of Foreign Missions. The TurkiSh Mission Aid Society repoits - £4142, ngainst £2875 last year. The Church . .Pasteral Aid Society and the Society for the Pro pagation of the Gospel, each has enjoyed an increase of over £15,000; the B. and F. Bible Society an increase of over £12,000; The Ccingregational H.. M. Society shows an increase to near twice last year's amount, reaching a total of almost £BOOO. The Free Church of Scotland has also gained over . £2OOO on its Continental Mission scheme. " The London Missionary Society" has gained within a fraction of £10,000; "The Wesleyan," over .£7500; "The Church," £3600; The 'Religious Tract Society over £3OOO. The most serious• cases of decline are the Baptist Missionary Society, £5674; and the Irish ,Church Missionary Society, £5346. The, positive ,gains for the year, deducting losses, are : The United Presbyterian Synod report on statisotios show that the number of ministers belonging to the denomination was 580, and' of elders, 4308; preachers, 102 ; students of divinity, 133 ; members, 170,590; • average Sunday attendance, 199,101; congregational income, £178,858; income for misssions and benevolenCe, £50,606; total income, including miscella neous revenues, £232,316; average con tributions of members, ,X 1 6s. 11d.; num ber of Sunday scholars,, 71,048. The aver age stipend of each congregation has risen from £156 in 1860, to £l7l in 1864. LORD SHAFTESBURY speaking on the aspect of affairs in the Church of England, at one of the May meetings, said:— " I do not fear any external assault on. the Church. of Encrland. I believe that the Church of England stands upon a rock, having been planted there-by God himself, where it is utterly impregnable against any attack from without. I am not afraid of Tom Paine and his `adherents; I am not afraid of Pio 'Nono and his adherents; and still less am I afraid of that great Zulu deputation which has come Africa to this country. I am far more afraid of treachery within than of these open enemies without. I fear not, those who are open foes of our Society, whether they be in, the extremes of Tractarianism, or in the extremes of Neology, but I do fear those well-intended, weak-minded, vacillating, soft-hearted, amiable men, who are looking now to the right hand and now to the left.' Some of these men are inclined to Tractarianism, thinking that we' want a little more of the rubric and a little more church order to give us the force and permanence of Rontauism. Others, who do not like to be behind what is called the spirit of the age, are rather disposed to give : up to biblical criticism some portions of the Bible I am sorry to say that I think the educated classes of this country are going deeply into Tractarianism and Neology. The educated classes of this country, male and female, are gradually acquiring a great dis like to all doctrinal teaching; they are gradually maintaining the position that there is much in all• the three systems of the Church of England, including Neology and Popery; that there is much .in which they resemble each other; and that, in short, it is a matter of little difference which of these systems you embrace. But as regards the zreat mass of the people of this country, I am quite satisfied that they are quite accessible to our efforts; I am satisfied that, if we address ourselves to the millions of people who never profess to enter a place of worship, we shall have the manifest blessing of God on our labors. If you go among the mass of the people, you will find that they will either have no re ligion, or will have religion of the best type." REVIVAL ITEMS.—A correspondent of The Revival of June Ist, writes from Sligo, North of Ireland, as follows :-- " When I say that the light of the glori ous gospel of Christ has shone into hearts in a hundred houses since last June, some times converting every member of the family, I am very far from exaggerating. And this I say of Sligo and its neighbor= hood alone, not to speake of Boyle, and Ballina, and Co'looney, and Coolaney, and Ballymote, and Killalla, and Mullaferry, and Ballinglen, and Skreen, at each and all of which places God has done marvellous things in saving souls from death and heap ing honors upon the name of Jesus. Of the work iii these places a history in itself might be written that would cheer . your readers' heart; of Christians quickened, backsliders restored,- drunkards reclaimed, sleepers awakened, formalists brought nigh, children saved, and grey-headed men and women converted!' .£102,997 157,847 141,899 91,041 28,745 13;602 25,048 17,915 Another writer front- Staleybridge, Eng land, a place whose spiritualJ necessities may be inferied from the fact, as stated, that thousands of , people assemble there almost every week, for the purpose.of dog racing, wrestling-matches, dog-fighting, racing,, and other,similar objects. Of this place the correspondent writes :--- ",Already some of the most . noted charac `fels for'crime and wickedness have deserted the rank's of the wicked, and are nthifikht ing for the God -of their salvation ,• the Lord is working in mikhtypower in this town, the devil is fighting too, but we.are on the Lord's side, and HeiS the-captain of our salvation.' .' "There are homes now that were six months : ago • the abodes of wickedness, wretchedness, degradation, and misery, the dwelling of those who were then living without God and without, hope in the world, but who are now rejoicing in the realized love of a sin-pardoning , God. Hiisbands and Wives, fathers and mothers, sons-'arid daughters, are going hand in hand to that better land." X 20,135 L 34,628 L 110,928 10,229 A• correspondent of the same journal says the amount received-for the purchase of " Derby•Theatre" is ; soo. f 4 Our work is peculiar to buy, and for all time establish, as an unsectarian Gospel Hall ,for the poor of the town, the Devil's House; _surely it should commend itself to all Who love souls and the Saviour." The SeCond Anniversary of the Spital fields Gospel Mission was held May' 17. The Spitalfields Gospel Hall has been built and paid for during the year. A t.Mission ary, Douglas, has been sent to Auckland, three young men hirZe entered Spurgeon's " College," laborers have, been sent,ta the Victo,ria . Docks and to Efornsey, and ser vices have been held in the open air as well as in the HA .a " bible carriage" for , selling, reading aload ad lg the Scriptures through the streets,-with three laborers is "sustained; a refuge for the fallen has been fitted up, besides a Sabbath-school and other means of evangelical effort in cluded in this- extensive mission of Mr. Lewis.—Joshua Poole • and his -wife have been holding special services at Swansea, closing May 30th. M.r. Poole gave a heart stirring, faithful, and practical appeal to the people, urging upon them a sober and religious life. He gave a number of anec dotes from his own personal experience, and put on the ragged calico coat in4Which he went to Wakefield gaol. The '-re markable contrast between the drunkaaq's coat and the sober man's coat drew its own practical lesson, and appeared -to - have a good effect upon the crowded auditory. Many hardened- cases were- reached.— Mr. John Vine,., one of the " Thegtre Preachers," of London, has been laboring recently in Ipswich among the poor in public halls. The Ipswich and Colchester Times, thus speaks of his efforts: "Perhaps he is not particularly refinedin manner or language, but his audiences are such- as need very hard hitting to know whether they are hit at all, and doubtless Mr: Vine. kik:iv/8 well that it is no use trying to out - butchers' blocks with razors. If he has not much polish he certainly has some power—for he can hold a large audience of "roughs".in spell-bound silence and rapt attention for an hour and a half."—,.—A revival of twenty-six days' continuance at Banghurst, Hants,is spoken of, in which seventy-seven souls found peace. FATHER IGNATIUS, the Episcopal monk of Bristol, has lately excommunicated` with Popish formalities and - threatenings, two of the monks on charge of drunkenness. A .third order`of St. 'Benedict has been- estab-, lished in Bristol. The populace are very impatient at this silly aping of Rome in a Protestant church. Father Ignatius and his Benedictines have been several -times mobbed. . THE PROTESTANT CONFERENCES have re cently been held. Pasteur Palette (of the Augsburg Confession) presided over the Na tienal Conference • 205 members , viz klik , pastors and 27 elders, entered their nark ~ Of several propositions presented for 'dis eussion one only occupied the session; it was that of renewing adherence to the declaration of principles voted last year. It was voted by 130 against 51. The Radi cals having brought up their best and most talented men, this conclusion is regarded as a defeat as complete as last year's, perhaps more so. In addition, they spoke out; though with caution, and that is a great matter. Thus Pasteur Coquerel, jr., declared that he had often said that he believed neither in' the Trinity, nor in original sin, nor in expiation by the blood of Jesus. etc. Guizot made a suitable reply. In theiGen eral Conferences, (we do not: precisely , un derstand the difference), the following action was taken :—The Assembly s acknowb edges, conformably, to the conclusions of the report presented to it, that there is no Christian Church possible without explicit faith in the Resurrection of Jesus Christ." This was voted by 106 members; 52 left in a body before the vote, and two or three declined taking part in the vote. First rate speeches were made, among which were M. Matter, Dr. Ed. de Pressense, and Pasteur Bersier. ANNIVERSARIES OF SOOIETIES.--Quite a number of Protestant organizations held their annual meetings in Paris in May. Among these, the French and Foreign Bible Society merged into the Bible So ciety of France, formed last year by those evangelical members of- the Protestant Bible Society who could not tolerate the issuing of the rationalist , Geneva-version, by the latter Society. The French and For eign Society printed last year 273,157 Bibles, and 184,480 Testaments. 40,000 francs had been lately received from Ame rica. The Protestant Bible Society is still in existence. Its issues for the year were 10,500 volumes. The Religious Tract So ciety had an income of 113,178 francs. M. Gwzot presided at the meeting. The THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 18.65 FRANCE. Evangelical Society of the Free Churches ' met May 26th. Pasteur Fisch read the report. The strong appeal made lately for funds has been successful in a measure, the deficit of 100,000' francs has descended to 31,000. The expenses of the year have been 141,690 francs, and the receipts 130,984. On the 27th the Missionary Society (of the National Church, we suppose) held its anniversary, presided over by Count Jules Delaborde.. Expenses, 204,149 francs, re, ceipts. 204,207 francs. The various sta tions in South Africa .prosper; the Mission in Senegal is still . in its. infancY, a second missionary has joined the first. The Tahiti Mission is growing, and raising from , their long sleep: the Protestant Churches, authori zation has been granted to reopen Proteh tant schools. The Paris , Misslon house has but five . studenti'at 'present. A. strong ap peal was' made for funds and men. A letter was read from :Dr. Duff, giving a 'most favorable testimony to the : missionaries.-- Cor. Christian Work. • GENERAL Vmw.---Rev. Dr. Cairns, of Berwick, at thojoint meeting of the. Courts of .the:; Free and United : Presbyterian churches, held in Edinburili last month, gave the followin. interestino• View of the state of Protestantism in Franee :—" The present state of French .Protestantism, re presenteddby. 100,9 pastors and 1500. or. 1600 places of worship, is decidedly in ad- Vance of what it Vias when Lohis began his deplorable aggressions. We must not forget indeed how vtustly=the popula-; tion of France has increased in tWo eentur ies, while Protestantism has not increased in proportion; Wit still it , -is something to `be thankful for, that that great and sacred 'tor which the Huguenots bled is Still outwardly;adh'e'red to , by a million or a million and a half of the French . people, thousands of,whom,,hey,ond all doubt, have in our.. day, been gained over from the Chureh of - Rome. It is a* remarkable tribute to the vitality . of French Protes tantism,' that in - the recent struggle with unbelief within, and without, its noble stand for the everlasting fonndations of Christian orthodoxy has arrested, the attention of, all France. - No pamphlet' 'essay . or letter, of archbishop, bishop, or - abbe, against Renan has impressed the -French 'mind like the „Criticism off Edmond.de Nes,sense; and a the head of,; ; the Christian struggle, in France, and occupying, in some sense to use his'own eloquent wort:lB,4le adVanced guard of European conflict for miracle's, ?or inspiration, and for the Divinity of the Son of ,God, stands conspicuous, to , all eyes a Protestant layman—the illustrious "Guizot. TO some it may appear a doubtful' proof of the alleged revival, that this great name, whose views, on all points I do not. endorse, should only have escaped defeat in the late election to the Paris consistory by ten votes: But to me' it seems one of the greatest triumphs 'ever achieved that a Protestant ism which was so lately sunk in the sleep of death, which-only, a. few years, ago suffered the most eloquent of its orators (Adolphe Monod) to be silenced in Lyons, is, now able to silence its' unfaithful teachers in Paris; to brave the whole ridicule, calumny, and false liberalism of the Parisian press, and even on tho ground of universal suf frage to encounter, and baffle the machina tions of its enemies." A BRANCH OP THE FREEDMAN'S AID, SOCIETY has been organized in Paris by a number of ladies of the various churches, among whom are, 'to be 'found Madame Laboulaye, (Protestant,) wife of Professor Laboulaye of the College de France, and Madame Cochin; wife' of one of the most influential of the liberal Catholics of France. Mrs. Sunderland, wife of Rev. Dr. Sunder land, pastor of the American chapel, is a member,of the society by special invitation of the wives of the French pastors in Paris. Pastors G. Monod and Pulsford, as a del egation from' the Evangelical Conferences recently held in Paris, visited the ReV. Dr. Sunderland on Monday, May 15th, and presented ,to him the addresses prepared for the kmericali churches and Chrstians on the occasion of our recent national afflic tion.-- Car. . Methodist. ITALY. SABBATH-SCHOOLS IN ITALY.—We have already noticed the new and interesting feature which the. American and Foreign Christian Union has engrafted upon its work in Southern Europe—the organization of a Sahbath-school system for the field. In - the July number of the Christian World, we have an interesting account of the es tablishment of four schools in Naples, the first of which ,was as follows :—lt was formed in connection with, a little Scotch assembly to *hich Rev. Mr. Buscarlet preached. As Soon as the subject was suggested to: the worthy pastor, his reply was, " A Sabbath-school is just what I want. I have been, praying to r the Lord these eight or ten weeks past that he would show me how to set my people at work, anti here I have the ans*er. He at one called his little flock together, by giving notice on the Sabbath. that ,on a certain evening a stranger in NapleS would address them on the subject of English and Ameri can Sabbath-schools. At this - meeting the manner of organizing and the precise mode of conducting Sabbath-schools was de scribed. At the close, those who were disposed to co-operate in an attempt to es tablish one; were invited : to meet in the pastor's parlor. Six , or seven most promis iag young men and. women presented, themselves, and promptly signified their willingness to . become teachers. Arrange ments,. were accordingly made for commen cing on the followince Sabbath. On invi tation, about thirty or forty boys came and were, properly distributed among seven or eight teachers, ,These boys were told to invite their sisters on the following Sab bath, for as usual more' 'than half the teachers were female; and preferred to teach girls if they could get them. This invita tion, however, brought very few girls, as they are more immediately under the care of their mothers, and to this day very few women have been persuaded to come near a Protestant meeting of any kind. This school grew rapidly, both in numbers and interest. It has now some seventy or eighty pupils, and is the centre of a deeply inter esting circle of young people, who thus for the first time learned that it .was possible for them .to work for the extension; of Christ's, kingdom in Italy or elsewhere. POPULAR IGNORANCE UNDER ROMISH INFLUENCE. - -Rey. E. E. Hall, D.D., writes from Florence, Italy, to the American and Forei g n Christian Union, as follows :—The Minister of Public Instruction has recently published the statistics of education, or rather of ignorance,• in Italy. Nothing could be more sad and 'discouraging. In all the kingdom, having .a population of less than twenty-two millions, there are seventeen millions who know not how to read or write;. of which about eight mil lions are males, and nine millions femaies. Piedniont and Liguria . ' have the smallest per cent. of ignorance; a little more than sixty Per cent. of the population being unable to read. This is owing to the efforts of Count Cavour, by whose influence a law was passed establishing a system of gratuitous and obligatory instruction..- In Tuscany, the desolating proportion of ignor ance amotinth 'cent. of the entire population. In • the province of Naples only 95 in 1000 can read and write ; iu Sicily,. 98 iii 1000 ;- , and hi the Island of. Sardinia only =72 in 1000, cam.. read - and write. • - - In , the. darkness of such frightful, ignor ance it is not surprising that ,the people have become the victims of the most stupid superstitions. It is not, strange that amonc , such it population, the'progress'd evangel ization is difficidt and slow. Great results cannot be expected till the darkness of this Wide-sid.ead rgiciranee begins to pass 'away. What aTearful responsibility rests on the 'Roman j priests, these modern Pharisees, who have so =completely taken, away the ley of knowledge. ,To them has been com mitted, foroages,past, -the, education of.' the • people; Okay ; have,becii, _and arc : now, jeal ous 441 interference by the. State in that, impertaut ,part of. civilization. Well may they fear Ole fice circulation of the Scrip tures. They read their docim in the in creasing light of truth and public' instruc tion. • GERMANY: THE correspondent of the Christian Work reports-alighly important movement in behalf of the , true faith among the peo ple, as recently inaugurated by the ortho dox.theologians of the country. Hitherto they lave, been wrapped nil in the subtle.: ties of their science, and have concerned lbeniselves little as to the intelligibility or Ediptedness' of 'their spent:Atkins to the common mind.. We rejoideßatlthe change, suggested doubtless by thetactics. Of the enemy,;who. has >been diligently 'and suc cessfully popnlarlizing the, latest forms of unbelief for -the masses of Germany. It has been well remarked, that the Reforma• - tion Of the 16th century was powerful, because it began among the people and worked its way up; whereas, in the recent conflicts with rationalism, in that country, the Order has been reversed, the orthodox theologians having begun and continued their work mainly in the universities. A change is taking place, and we hope that evangelical theology will hereafter partake of the practical character which has been manifested, by Wichern, Fliedner, Harms, Gossner and other famous German workers.. The effect will be felt to the advantage of orthodoxy the world., over. The corres ondent says = , " German theologians are becoming every day .more_afive to the importance of endeav ouring to m eet the growing unbelief by apologetic lectures adapted to general audi ences.% Hitherto most of them seemed to have regarded it as infra dignitatent to ad dress themselves to popular assemblies ; or else they feared not being able to accom plish satisfactorily a task of the kind. Ex perience, however,' is showing that they Can be very successful, and success will sweep away false pride. These lectures have been delivered in Berlin and in Leip zig to large and attentive audiences. Pro fessor Held, late in Zurich, is also endeavor ing to meet popular wants at Breslau. The welcome accorded to these efforts is proof enough that they are needed, and the thoroughly popular ability somewhat unex pectedly revealed by gentlemen . hitherto known only for learning, ought to excite to further undertakings." BADEN,'—Some of the laity 'are begin- Inng to move for the deposition of Dr. Schenkel. A petition, signed by upwards of five thousand men of all classes—nobles, manufacturers, and working-men—is to be presented against Schenkel to the Grand Duke. This step, simple and unimportant as it may seem, is causing great excite ment. Dr. Schenkel, in spite of the boldest avowals of rationalism, is retained by the secular authorities as director of the Theo logical Seminary of Baden. Hence these persistent efforts' for his removal. A REFUGE FOR FEMALE SERVANTS is in existence in Berlin, one of the results of Dr. Fliedner's Christian sagacity and zeal. Respectable servant girls out of employ are boarded, lodged, and taught all sorts of crdinary servants' work, by Kaiserswerth deaconesses fot less than five cents a day ! They are also aided in obtaining situations, and are, to some extent, watched, guarded, and befriended afterwards, being taught to regard the Refuge as their Home. They are :pined as nurses at a total cost of seven cents a day. An infant school is connected with the establishment, which is designed as a truly Christian agency. ' PHONOGRAPHY FOR THE BLIND.—In 1860 a Society was formed in Berlin for teaching the blind to read according to the system , invented by Mr. W. Moon, of Brighton.. Notwithstanding that Moon's sys tem of reading is incomparably easier than the old ones, has not yet made much way in Germany, though through the kindness of the British and Foreign Bible Society the sale of his Scriptures is very much facilitated.. The chief hindrances are most probably prejudice and red tape.—Corres pondent of the Christian Work.
