PRESBYTERIAN.
WORK AMONG THE CHINESE IN CALIFOR
NIA.—The Old School Board has a mission
among the Chinese in San Francisco, which
has resulted in'the organization of a church.
A fine Mission House has been erected, and
is occupied by Rev. Mr. Loomis, as the mis
sionary. The fruits of the mission, besides
some good spiritual results, are said to be
manifest in the amelioration of their temporal
condition; in raising their standing in com
munity, relieving them from public oppres
sion, and teaching them considerate methods
in dealing with sickness and affliction.
PRESBYTERY OF POTOMAC.—At a late
meeting of the Presbytery of Potomac, 0.
S., the names of the Rev. Messrs. Boa*,
Balch, Pugh, Witherow, and others, Were
stricken from the roll, in accordance with the
action of the last Assembly. These gentle
men have all been in connection with the
General Assembly of the Southern States.—
.Presbyterian.
REVIVAL—The church of Slateville, York
County, Pennsylvania, has been favored with
a most cheering work of God's spirit. Saints
were revived and sinners converted , . Sixty
four persons were added to the church 'upon
profession of their faith, ranging in age froin
thirteen to sixtyfive years. This accession
was chiefly the fruits of this revival.--Pres
kterian.
LOOKING OUT FOR THE RADIATING POINTS.
—The United Presbyterian Church strikes
out on the policy of making its strongest
home efforts at the important centres. At
the late meeting of its General Assembly, it
appropriated $l,OOO for the South Side Mis
sion in the 'City of Chicago; $l,OOO for the
North Side Mission in the same city ; $l,OOO
to the St. Louis Mission; $1,500 for the out
fit and support of a missionary to Oregon ;
$2,500 for the outfit and support of a mis
sionary to San Francisco for one year. In all
of these instances the missionaries were ap
pointed directly by the Assembly. For the
mission to San Francisco, the Rev. Joseph
T. Cooper, D.D., one of the ablest and best
known ministers of that denomination, was
selected. In addition to this, the Assembly
agreed to send six experienced ministers to
labor for two months each, for the coming
year, in the City of Washington_, with the
request that their respective Presbyteries
supply their pulpit during their absence.
The editor of the Christian Instructor has
condensed the statistics of the U. P. church
in the United States into the following sum
mary :—The church is composed of 7 Synods,
divided into 46 Presbyteries, with 3 Mission
ary Presbyteries additional, being 49 Presby
teries altogether. The Missionary Presby
teries are Sealkote, Egypt, and Oregon.
There are in the Church 384 "settled pastors,
132 ministers without charge, being a 'total
of 516 ordained ministers. There are 50
licentiates; and 46 students of theology.
There are 659 congregations under her care,
with 24,921 families, and a membership of
58,265. She has had an increase during the
past year, by examination and profession of
faith, of 2725, and by certificate 2908, with a
decrease by death of 1055, and by removal of
3365, being a total increase of 1213. There
have been 3521 children baptised by her
ministry, and 281 adults. Her contribution
to the Boards of the 'Church, we are sorry to
say, are not fully reported. The amount
contrihnted to Home Missions as reported is
$19,722; Foreign Missions, $42,722; Educa
tion, 11768 ; Publication, $2369 ; Church
Extension *ll, 796 ; Assembly's Fund, $679;
ab u 0,000 ; the whole amount contrib
uted for all purposes, as far as reported,
being over $500,000: The late General As
sembly has made appropriations to the vari
ous Boards of the Church to carry on their
operations during the coming year, the sum•
of $177,400, divided as follows: Foreign
Missions, $B6 800; Home Missions,s33,ooo;
Freedmen's Missions, $2200 ; Church Ex
tension, $20,000 ; Education,slo,ooo ; Pub
lication, $ 5,000 ; Assembly ' s Fund, $6OO.
ANOTHER. MINISTERFAILEN.—OnWedneS
day, the 14th of the present month, the
Rev. T. F. Baird, pastor of the U. P. con
gregation of Lower Chanceford, departed
this life. His disease was inflammation of the
brain. We have not received any particulars
concerning his last hours. Our acquaintance
with him was but slight, but no one could be
in his presence long without feeling that he
. ivas a man of deep and fervent piety.—Chr.
Instructor.
CONGRSOATIONAL.
VERMONT. —The recent report of the state
of religion in the churches of Windsor County
Conference, says :—" There has been an in
crease of religiou •:terest in West Hartford,
Queechy, Windsor ; Jest Weathersfield, and
Springfield—some eight or ten hopeful con
versions having occurred in each of these
places ; while in Weathersfield East, the
special religious interest is still extending,
more than twenty having already been brought
under its influence."
MAINE. —At a late meeting of the Cum
berland Conference, there was a discussion
on a proposed change in Sabbath services,
which would give but one preaching service,
and employ more of the time of the day in
Bible class, Sabbath-school and other familiar
instructions in the letter and meaning of the
Holy Scriptures. The subject was committed
to be reported upon neat year. The Union
Conference, the meeting of which was recently
held at Bridgeton Centre, received reports of
recticals from eight of its churches, most of
which were of great power.
REFORMED DUTCH.
PASTORATES FILLED.—The last month has
been to R. D. Church an auspicious one in
the way of installations perfected, or calls
accepted. Among the former we notice that
of Rev. Theodore W. Wells, at Bayonne,
Bergen Neck, N. J. ;) Rev. Wm. B. Tan
Benschoten, at Wyckof, N. J.,
and Rev. A.
P. Peek, at Owasco, N. Y. Arrangements
have also been made by the North Classis of
Long Island, for the installation,. on the 9th
of July next, of Rev. A. A. Willits, D.D„
over the Lee Avenue chuurch, Brooklyn.
Mr. C. W. Fritts, licentiate, has accepted a
call to Blawensburg, N. J. Rev. John V.
N. Schenck is soon to be installed at Owasco
Outlet, near Auburn, N, Y.
TIIEOLOGIOAL SEMINARY.—The enterprise
for securing an addition to the endowment of
the Theological Seminary at New Bruswick
having been successful, the General Synod
appointed an additional professor, Rev. Dr.
Demarest, of Hudson, N. Y. He takes the
chair of Pastoral ,Theology and Pulpit Rhe
toric, a department fbr which he is said to
have unusually good qualifications.
NETHODIST.
Tin SOUTHERN FIELD.—The Advocate
and Journal brings a number of suggestions
upon the subject of church reconstruction in
the South,. to the following conclusion :
"Some points seem to us sufficiently ascer
tained: (1.) That our Church will be ex
tended over the South. Our people require
this of those charged with that department
of Church duty, and the obvious wants of the
case demand it. The work too should be
done at once, and on a liberal scale. (2.)
The plan of the Discipline, as lately presented
in this paper by Rev. S. Y. Monroe, is at
once our only practicable method to proceed
upon, and also all that is needed in the pre
mises. Were the General Conference now in
session, we doubt whether it would be expe-:
dient to legislate further upon the subject.
The machine is in good order and only_needs
to be run. (3) With the Methodist Episco
pal Church, South, we have absolutely no
thing to do. We have no law by which we
can receive into our body any of its Organic
parts to do so would be as inexpedient as it
is plainly unlawful. The manner of organiz
ing the Holston Conference [noticed in last
American Presbyterian] will, we trust and
doubt not, be the precedent and pattern for
all further operation.
FAIRTON, N. J.—A gentle shower of grace
is falling on this appointment. Week before
last there were sixteen conversions, and they
are looking for still fuller displays of divine
power and mercy in the awakening of sinners,
the conversion of mourners, and the sanctify
ing of believers. -Advocate and Journal.
SISSOURI IN MOVEMENT.—The Metho
dists in Missouri have recently organized a
"Church Extension society for the Missouri
and-Arkansas Conference." It is under the
management of enterprising laymen of well
known devotion to the interests of the M. E.
Church. Its object is "to extend and estab
lish our Christian influence and power
throughout the bounds of said conference,
and to secure suitable houses of public wor
ship and such other church property as may
promote the general design." Resolutions
were passed requesting the bishops to trans
fer suitable men from the older conferences
to supply the necessities of this part of the
work, and to procure aid from the Missionary
Society toward their support; directing a
committee "to prepare an appeal to loyal
Methodist ministers, traveling and local, and
to teachers, male and female, encouraging
them to emigrate to Missouri and Arkansas,
and to assist us in the reconstruction of
Christian civilization ;" calling attention to
"the great importance of extending mission
ary labor by our Church among the freedmen
of. the entire South, and of receiving them
into and identifying them with the M. E.
Church;" urging the presiding elders to
"organize the colored members of our Church
into classes and to appoint pastors over them
wherever necessary ;' approving approving the " plan
of reconstructing our Church in the Southern
country, foreshadowed in the action of our
last General Conference, by preaching the
entire gospel, organizing Churches, and ad
mitting ministers and members who are in
full sympathy with our anti-slavery_ doctrines
and discipipe." In the Union M. E. Church,
St. Louis,won the presentation of this plan to
the congregation, $3500 were instantly sub
scribed towards carrying it out.
BAPTIST
PITTSBURGH ASSOCIATION.—The report of
the late meeting of this Association says :
" Many of the letters reported a prosperous
condition, and additions by baptism. In the
Fourth Church, Pittsburgh, a precious in
gathering has been enjoyed, and in the San
dusky Street Church, Allegheny, a constant,
quiet work, not recognized as any special out
pouring, has been going on for the year, re
sulting in more thantwenty baptisms.''
PHILADELPHIA.--Ift , the Baptist 'Church
at Nicetown, a Philadelphia suburb; a work
of grace has been for some time past
going forward. There hive recently been
eighteen accessions to the church. The re
ligious interest seemed to commence with a
deep , solemnity. - caused by the death. of -An
estednled Sabbath-school scholar.'
VINELAND, N. J.—A Baptist Church was
organized at this place, on the 13th inst,
The constitu,
- ..... -• • •i
pected to unite as soon as they receive their
J
letters. Rev. J. M. Challis officiates tempo
rarily as pastor.
A NEGLECTED POINT.—The letters from
the churches sent up to the late meeting of
the Bradford, Pa., Association present a re
port, singular for these days, but suggestive
of a much forgotten duty, viz.:—" Few bap
tisms, but a good deal of wholesome discipline
going
. on." We shall certainly look for bap
tisms in the next year's report.
COLORED BAPTIST CONVENTION.—Says a
Western correspondent of the Examiner and
Chronicle :—" One of the most significant
gatherings—and I may say important, too—
among all the 'May Meetings,' was the Con
vention of Colored Baptists, which was held
in St. Louis from the 24th to the 30th of
last month. The principal question which
came up for discussion and action was the
spiritual wants of the recently enfranchised
colored men of the late slave States. There
was quite a large representation in attend
ance, many coming from the far South.
The accounts which these brethren gave of
the condition of their people was deeply in
teresting. There are thousands of Baptists
along the Mississippi, from Cairo to New
Orleans,. at different points, congregated in
communities where churches might be readily
organized, were there ministers to supervise
the work, and which the delegates reported
would readily become self-supporting. The
great ory is for pastors—men of their 'own
race and color, sympathizing with them in
all their hopes and aspirations, and efforts
for spiritual and material advancement. The
action of the Convention was characterized
by great good sense and judgment, and the
brethren composing it appeared to be fully
aroused by the high import of the demands
made upon them. They laid their hand's
upon all capable men who were available for
this service to supply important stations
along the river, and in other portions of the
late S'outhern Confederacy."
EPISCOPAL.
INTER-DENOMINATIONAL FELLOWSHIP.
The late intolerant Pastoral of the New York
Bishop Potter will insure a thorough sifting
of this subject by his own denomination.
One of its papers, the Christian limes, last
week, brought the Bishop into the presence
of the fathers of the Episcopal Church in
this country, prelates included, as follows :
In 1789 the General Convention passed a
resolution bearing date of August first, offer
ing an address to Washington on his election
as President of the United States. It be
gan as follows : " We, the Bishops, Clergy,
and Laity of the Protestant Episcopal Church
in the States of New York, NewJersey,.Penn
sylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and
South Carolina," and ends withall the signa
tures duly and fficially given. In the course
of their remarks they speak as follows:
" As the representative of a numerous and
extended Church, we most thankfully rejoice
in the election of a civil ruler, deservedly
beloved and eminently distinguished among
the friends of genuine religion, who has hap
pily united a tender regard for OTHER
CHURCHES with an inviolable attachment to
his own."
The reply was in keeping with the address.
Washington says :
" On this occasion it would ill become me
to conceal the joy I have felt in perceiving
the fraternal affection which appears to in
crease every day among the friends of genu
ine religion. It affords edifying prospects
indeed, to see Christians of different denomi
nations dwell together in more charity, and
conduct themselves, in respect to each other,
with a more Christ-like spirit than ever they
have shown in any former age or in any other
nation."
lINITABIAN.
DEFINITION OF UNITARTANISIL —We do
not mean that the Unitarians have come to a
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 1865
common agreement respecting the definition
of the term by which they are designated.
The effort of their late National Convention
to do so failed, leaving us to make out what
we can from the declarations of sentiments
by individual writers and speakers. We
would not be so ungenerous, even in face of
the fact that the blasphemy was not officially
rebuked, as to hold them to the impious ut
terances of Mr. Burleigh, who, in the Conven
tion named, said that the appellation,
"Lord
Jesus," meant no more than , " Mr. Jesus."
But we suppose Rev. 0. B. Frothingham,
pastor of the Third Unitarian Society in
New York, is a person of more standing
among them, and that his utterances may be,
regarded as a fair ex_p_onent of the views of
the denomination. We quote a few scraps
from a late printed discourse of his as follows:
"It is a feature of our conception that
man's future in another condition of being is
a matter with which we have no immediate
concern. His actual condition here is the
momentous point. . . All liberals,
therefore; make it their business to withdraw
men's thoughts from•the future and fix them
on the present. • . . . In this belief in a
physical world uncursed, - a social world unde
prayed, a moral world undegraded, a spiritual
world undarkened by Satan, we stand; dis
tinguished from all the rest of Christendom.
. . . Christianity is a 'natural system,
occurring in the regular line of human pro
gress, and falling in with the •general move=
scent of mankindtoward its perfection. .
. . There is enough in human nature, as it
pushes its way from its Erie to its Ontario,
to account for Christianity. . . . It
seems;to follow that Jesus - is a purely human
being:. Unconsciously, no doubt, it is the
belief of almost all of us: . . . We apply,
to it (the Bible) the ordinary literary tests.
We find some parts of it ungenuine ; other
parts we find defective in statement and in
thought. . . . Our absolute denial of the
`Fall' sets the face of humanity toward the
kingdom from the first• step in the baby
tender." •
APOSTATE iSRAEL—It is well known that
the Jews, after eighteen centuries of waiting
for a Messiah, have begun to renounce " the
hope of ISriel," and in considerable numbers
have sunk into blank deism, or even lower.
Such rites of their religion as they observe,
are observed more from national than from
religious reasons. How numerous the class
of rationalistic Hebrews may be, we have
not the means of estimating, but we fear that
the:yr - are increasing. They would seem to be
strong in Cincinnati. At the recent dedica
tion of a , place of worship there, the Rabbi
defined `a true Israelite" to be "one who
trusts in God and believes in the divine truth
of ,the Bible; needs no king to govern, no
Messiah to redeem, and no miracles to dem
onstrate the truth of religion." That think
ing' men should be coinpelled to renounce the
unreal and perpetnally receding hive of a
Chriit yet to arise is not rrstrange. But it is
Melancholy to see unbelief in Jesus pushing
thein into unbelief in the'need of redemption
and in the verities - othistoric revelation. It
is exchanging " blindn6s in part" for utter
darkness.--Examiner arrid - Chronicla.
JEwisil CoxvENTioN -The Jews recently
held a council in New York, where delegates
from the principal congregations of the coun
try were present. The counciltOok action in.
opposition "to the attempts made 'Co ainerid;!
the Constitution of the,. United Statos,`so as
l'tO secure. a more definite recognition, of, the
Christian religion, siLieh - r r - attefupt, it is
alleged, "was'killed by the Judibiary Com
inittee of the United States, by an adverse
" r aria Nraer
Arista= sects; in order better to oppoSe
Catholic influence." These attempts, they
say, if successful, would make the " Jews
aliens, instead of free citizens."
JEWISH MISSIONS IN LONDON.—At a late
meeting of the " London Jews' Society," the
Bishop of Ripon said :—" When this Society
was first established it is supposed that there
were not fifty converted Jews .in the whole of
this kingdom. In London alone you have
now 3000 converted Israelites. The Society
can tell of 20,000 converts, of whom it is as
sured that they are members of the invisible
as well as of the visible Church of-Christ.
More than a hundred ordained clergymen,
originally members of the Jewish commu
nion, but 4ipw converted to the faith of
Christ, are preaching the everlasting Gospel."
THE NEW ENGLISH ARCHBISHOP.—The.
London correspondent of the Presbyterian
Banner writes, May 26:—" Dr. Manning, an
ex-Protestant Archdeacon, and brother-in
law of the Bishop of Oxford, leaves London
this week in order to receive the palliuni,
from - the Pope's own hands, as Archbishop
of Westminster. His appointment was in
direct opposition to the wishes of the Eng
lish Roman Catholic nobility in England,
who desired to have Dr. Clifford, a man of
high" family, and not Ultramontane in his
sympathies, to occupy the high seat vacated
by the, death of Cardinal Wiseman. But
Manning has done Rome such great service
as a- proselytizer—he is so polished, so
`pious,' so eloquent as a preacher—has
been the leader of such a lar4-e band of men
who were formerly English hpiscopal clergy
men, that his Holiness has shown, in the
most decided way, that this is the man whom
he delights to honor."
IN 3.11.6 SOITIEL—No religious denomina
tion of the slave States has remained so firm
in the profession of anti-slavery principles as
the Friends. They have, in Virginia, North
Carolina, and East Tennessee, about 37 con
gregations, numbering about 3,500 persons.
During the war the Virginia Meetings main
tained a close connection with the Baltimore
Yearly Meeting, to which they belonged, and
those in North Carolina and East Tennessee
(3,000 members constituting the North Caro
lina Yearly Meeting) continued their " annual
epistles" to the Northern and Western Year
ly Meetings, breathing the warmest expres
sions of love and unity. The discipline of the
Society, prohibiting the owning or hiring of
slaves, not only remained inviolate, but the
members bore an open and firm testimony
against slaved , and war, and were loyal to the
United States Government. This subjected
them to some persecution, but the Society,
nevertheless, received an accession of over five
hundred members. Immediately upon the
surrender of Johnston's army, their brethren
of the North and West raised over $20,000 to
replace 'their losses by the war, and to assist
in re-establishing schools.
REVIVAL IN A COLLEGE.-A correspon
dent of the Congregationalist, writing from
Waterville, Me., says :—" There is a quiet, and
it is believed, deepening religious interest
here, extending into the College, Some very
interesting
cases of conversion have occurred.
Very few literary institutions have suffered
greater. Josses by the war than the one in this
delightful village; but its prospects are bright
ening.
INDIANA. — A correspondent of the _Na
tional Baptist writes from Rochester, Ind.,
that that section of the State has been blessed
with an out-pouring of the Spirit and the con
version of many souls. The Union and Mis
sissinewa Baptist churches, had eighty-three
,added to them ;The: Miami Indians in that
vicinity have shared in this work of grace.
THE JEWS.
ROMAN CATHOLIC.
THE FRIENDS.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Two members of the tribe were ordained
about a year since, and they have met with
much success in their labors. About eighty
of the tribe have professed faith in the
Saviour.

response, eighteen volumes from the Pres
byterians, thirty-six from the Unitarians,
eight from the Shakers, fifty-one from the l i
"Friends," eight from' the Campbellites, and
seventy-one from the Swedenborgians.—The
Scotch Kirk in convocation has decided, by a
handsome majority, that no- musical instru
ment must be used in a kirk—that people
must stand, and not. kneel in prayer—that
there shall be no form of prayer, and no com
munion out of the kiik.—At St. Peter's

I have known Hoofland's German Bitters favorably
for a number of years. I have used them in my own
family, and haye been so pleased. with their effects
that I was induced to recommend them to many °there,.
and know that they have operated in a strikingly
beneficial manner. I take great pleasure in thus pub
licly proclaiming this fact, amt calling the attention
of those afflicted with the diseases for wlijc/nthey aro
recommended to these Bitters; knowing' from experi•-,
ence that my recommendation will be sustained. Ido
Yours truly'. "
From Rev. J. Newton Brown, D.D. Editor of the .
cpc/oprediet of Religious Knowledge.
Although not disposed to favor or recommend Patent
Medicines in general, through distrust of their 'ingre
dients and effects, I yet know of no snfflci en reason&
why a man may not testify to the ben ea ae beli eves
himself to have received from any simple D re parationa
in the hope that he may thus contribute to the benefit
of others.
. .
I do this more readily in regard to Hoofland's Ger
man Bitters,prepared by Dr. C. M. Jackson, of this
city, because I was prejudiced against them for many
years, under the impression that they were chiefly an.
alcoholic mixture. lam indebted to my friend, 11... h
t Esu.,_for the removal of this prejudice by
proper tests, and for encouragement to try them, when
suffering from great and long continued ,iehility. The.
use of three bottles of these Bitters at the beginning,
of the present year, was followed by ~.I.lcnt 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. I therefore thank.
God and my friend for directing me to the use of them..

Dr. C. M. Jackson:—Dear feel it a pleasure
thus of my own accord to bear testimony to the t.avel
lence of the German Bitters. Some years since, being
much afflicted with Dyspepsia, I used them with very
beneficial results. I have often recommended them
to persons enfeebled by that tormenting disease, and
have heard from them the most fluttering testimonies
as to their great value. In cases of general debility I,
believe it to be a tonic that cannot be surpassed.

Church, Kutztown, Berko. County, .Pa.
Dr. D. M. Jackson:—Respected Sir—l hive been
troubled with Dyspepsia nearly twenty ytaie, and
have never used any medicine that did me as much
good as Hoofland's German Bitters. lam very muoh
improved after having taken five bottles.
Yours, with respect, J. S. lIEItMAN.
