not to be blamed because the nation has
taken it up and will sing it. Dr. Bush
nell’s chief objection is, however, to the
borrowed music, which is, in fact, the
air. of the national anthem of Great
Britain. . It is a deplorable proof of mu
sical poverty, that we can raise none of
our own.
THE AMERICAN BOARD.
BSD OF THE I’l.V-VN’tTAI, TEAK.
In a' few weeks, the accounts of the
Board for another year must be closed.
Do the friends of missions realize this
fact ? Especially, 'do they realize that,
in order to prevent an embarrassing in
debtedness, the most generous contribu
tions will be needed ? True, the donor
tions received within the first ten months
of the curruent year, (Sept. 1, 1864, to
June 30, 1865,) advanced upon those of
last year $35,904; but the legacies have
receded $2£,908; so that the actual gain
from the donations and legacies, prior to
July 1, 1865, was only $9,996.
It is hoped that, owing to the dimin
ished cost of exchange, the necessary
expenses of the year will not exceed
$530,000. As, however, the donations
and legacies received during the first
ten months of the year amounted to only
$331,495, it will be seen that a very
large sum is to be obtained in July and
August. Will it be obtained ?
It can be. (1.) The receipts in July
and August, 1864, were $191,622, to
wit, in July, $62,807, in August, $134,-
815. (2.) If some of the friends of mis
sions shall feel constrained to diminish
their contributions, as being less able te
gratify their benevolent desires than they
were a year ago, others, surely, can sup
ply their lack of service. The “ willing
mind” will overleap every obstacle.
The reasons for closing the year with
out a debt are very strong. (1) An of
fering, spontaneous, cheerful, and suffici
ent for the present exigency, cannot fail
to be well pleasing to Him, who has
given us our victories, and restored to
us tjie blessings of peace. (2.) It will
be pleasant for our churches to be able
to say, in coming years, “ Much as we
did for our country, the heathen were not
forgotten. The men who periled their lives
in our behalf at home, we made our con
stant care ; but none the less did we care
for those who periled their lives in ou'r
behalf abroad.” (3,) If the next year
shall begin auspiciously, our missionaries
will be greatly encouraged. All through
this terrible war, their hearts have trem
bled for the ark of God. They have
felt for us, and they have feared for them
selves. Let the word go forth, “ The
Board is still unharmed,” and it will
give them new strength for their work.
(4.) If our churches shall show them
selves equal to this emergency, it will be
greatly for the honor of our American
Christianity. In civilized lands men
will say, “ The vitality of such a religion
is beyond question.” In heathen lands
men will say, “ Such a faith is destined
to conquer.”
It will be a great mistake, however,
to suppose that the raising of nearly
$200,000 is to prove an easy achieve
ment. Prior to last year, such a sum
' was never obtained in two months. But
three things will make success absolutely
certain. If every congregation shall
have contributed withinthe year; if every
church member shall have contributed
within the year; and, especially, if every
church member shall have contributed
according to his ability, a deficit will be
impossible. This then is the problem.
It is commended to pastors and laymen,
in the confident belief that the appeal
will not be in vain.

In making this acknowledgment, I

to these brethren for this generous assis

our embarrassments, as we are out of
debt excepting to the Church Erection
Fund, when all our reliable subscriptions
are collected; whereas, without their
timely aid, an incubus of two thousand
dollars indebtedness would now, and per
haps for years to come, be resting upon
us. While we are truly'grateful to you,
dear brethren, for your kindness, we trust
as you watch the career of this church
in the future, you will find no reason to
distrust the wisdom of your benevolence,
in contributing to this enterprise, as to a
true branch of the Lord’s great work in
the worldj giving to which, I know
you regard as something more than a
duty, even a privilege and a pleasure.
Our thanks are also due to Brother
Adair, and heartily given, for his faithful
pilotage through all our difficulties.
Yours, very truly,
S. LOOMIS, Pastor.

THE EVANGELIZATION 0E AFRICA.
On Tuesday, July fourth, we cele
brated once more the anniversary of our
National Independence. Countless flags
told of “Liberty and Union.” The
ringing of bells, the ascending rockets,
and joyful sounds told of Peace ! Mil
lions of men, women and children, for
the first time, joyfully commemorated
the day. To them the long-prayed for
year of Jubilee has come!
While vast expenditures for bounties
and for the relief of wounded soldiers,
will no longer be called for, there are
two noble enterprises which should re
ceive our generous aid. The intellec
tual and moral culture of the Freedmen,
and the Evangelization of Africa, pre
sent wide and promising fields of useful
ness. The two are intimately related to
each other. The millions of freedmen
should be speedily taught to read the
oracles of God, and aided in securing all
the blessings of liberty for themselves
and their posterity. In elevating them,
we shall promote incalculably our nar
tional welfare. But we must not forget
that Africa is to be evangelized, and
while we aid the Freedmen, let us not
forget the perishing heathen in Africa!
The quickest, cheapest, and mojjjj|ef
fectual way of evangelizing Africa. Wby
aiding pious colored men to establish a
Christian nation on that long neglected
continent. For seventeen years the
Republic of Liberia has maintained its
independence. The elective franchise,
open to all its citizens, after a residence
of one year, has been wisely used.
Their Presidents, Roberts, Benson, and
Warner, have been excellent men.
Sixty churches have been organized.
The slave-trade has been broken up for
five hundred mileß. The young Repub
lic deserves the sympathy and aid of
American Christians. In training the
freedmen we must awaken and develope
the missionary spirit. We should
courage young colored men to become
missionaries in Africa, and we should
cheerfully aid industrious laymen who
may desire to remove to Liberia. A
colony of Pilgrims landed on Plymouth
Rock and a continent has been leavened.
If colonization from Europe has planted
Christianity in America, why shall not
colonization in Africa elevate that be
nighted continent ?
In behalf of the Pennsylvania Colo
nization Society, a collection from each
church is solicited on some Sabbath in
the month of July. Donors of three
upwards, and pastors taking
up a collection, will be entitled to -the
Colonization Herald for one year with
out charge. Thirty dollars will consti
tute a Life Member. Letters and dona
tions may be addressed to Rev. Thomas
S. Malcolm, Corresponding Secretary,
No. 609 Walnut Street, Philadelphia.
LETTER FROM REV. S. SAWYER.
Greenville, East Tenn., July 8, 1865.
Mr. Editor: —Many thanks to you
and to our Philadelphia friends for send
ing us so many copies of your valuable
paper. As Dr. Converse, through the
Christian Observer , did us so much
harm in all this region, we trust these
copies of the American Presbyterian
may prove a most excellent help in
building up the churches desolated by
the slaveholders’ rebellion. They are
gratefully received, and their influence
must be important. The New York
Evangelist is also finding its way in
large numbers among us. The Central
Christian Herald, too, has something of
a circulation in certain localities. The
New York Observer will find very few
subscribers in this region, as, from its
sectional policy before the war, it cannot
deserve our confidence. The Christian
Observer, as revived by Dr. Converse at '
Richmond, will find no welcome in East
Tennessee. Dr. Ross, Dr. Eagleton,
and a few other broken-down rebels may
speak honied words in its favor, but
they are labeled among the fossils of the
past, and, having led their friends to
ruin, they will find few to trust them in
the future. They have a sad time of
particular and general repentance before
them.
The Fourth of July was a lively day
in Greenville, Jonesboro, Rogersville,
and at other places in East Tennessee.
Rebels were not allowed in town; they
had no part or lot in the matter. If
they ventured to show themselves, they
were«driven clear outside of the corpo
ration. They had begun to think so
many rebels were pardoned, and such
general good feeling prevailed over the
return of peace, that they would be un
disturbed by any one, and in a little
while, perhaps, find their way back into
power again. But the spell was com
pletely broken on the Fourth. So many
of them were whipped and booted
through every street, that hundreds are
offering their property for sale, and have
made up their mind to emigrate to some
other State. Rebel preachers are par
ticularly alarmed, and we are looking
for a general stampede of them. They
go with the mark of Cain upon them, to
be wanderers up and down the earth.
You will hear from me again soon.
Yours very truly,
/ Samuel Sawyer.

OBXTdART.
Near College Comer, Ohio. May 3,1865, in the 39th
year of his age, Mr. Samuel Steele Elliott, at the
house of his father, in Union County, Ind., where he
was born.
Blessed with pious parents, he had early devoted
himself to a life of usefulness in the service of the
Saviour. With Christian ardor and perseverance,
amid many difficulties, he completed, in ISSO, a colle
giate course in the Univerity of Indiana. After
spending years of earnest effort in the State of Ten
nessee, and also in Academies at Cambridge City,
Ind„ and at Monroe and Morning Sun, Ohio, as a
teacher long to be remembered with deep respect by
many pupils, he placed himself under the care of the
Ohio Presbytery of the Reformed Presbyterian Church,
(N. S.) with a view to immediate preparation for the
great object of his earthly ambition—the work ot the
Gospel ministry.
But God had another mission for him—a mission of
bitter self-denial in bearing the cross of attiotion.
Signally, if not too sadly, is the declaration verified,
God’s thoughts are not our thoughts, neither
are His ways our ways,” and amid all our confused
speculations, it is a relief—our true and only relief—
to say. “ Even so, Faiher, for so it seemed good in thy
sight.”
♦An attack of neuralgia in thespine arrests his ener
getic career, and he is henceforth the prey of disease,
grievous in itself, and all the more harrassing by rea
son of its long continuance. Bor more than four weary
years, it fluctuates between various degrees of inten
sity and prostration, during which, for awhile, he is
permitted to rally with sufficient strength to go about,
but only on crutches and with great pain, until finally,
victimized with painful and loathsome tumors, he is
rendered for many months the object of almost'unre
mitting attention from his wife, who, with a little
daughter still survives him.
But signal as was his trial, no less so was his pa
tience. He was a wonder unto many, not only in
view of the dismal peculiarity and weary length
of his affliction, but especially in view of his re
markable patience throughout, and cheerfulness
even in the midst of acute suffering. At times he
would converse with great liveliness, and during the
greater portion of the summer, he took part with us
in our prayer-meeting, although havine to be carried
in a chair, and compelled to sit the whole time in a
position ofgreat constraint.
Although never known to utter a murmur yet he
seems to have experienced great difficulty in getting
his mind fully reconciled to the thought that his work
on earth was really at a close, so much did it appear
to him that he was yet scarcely more than on the
mere threshold of usefulness, and that all his previdus
efforts were nothing more than preparatory, and that,
too, not for passive, but active duty. The prospect of
yet standing in the sanctuary to preach the Gospel he
could hardly give up for a moment, so deeply was his
heart engaged upon it.
But denied the privilege in one way, it was, never
theless, his in a way, perhaps, more humble, it is true,
more grievous to the flesh, and with less of worldly
honor, but also none the less worthy, and none the
less owned of God; for to him it was given to be a
witness for Chri3t along the crowded thoroughfare of
adversity, and illustrate by the thrilling voice of ex
ample more eloquent and forcible than any tongue
overflowing with words, the aivine sufficiency of
abounding grace—the never-failing value and victory
of precious iaith.
And now numbered, as we confidently trust, among
those who sleep in Jesus, what a sweet rest—what a
freedom oi holy.vigor—whit a beatitude of eternal
health .is bis! “For I reckon that the sufferings of
this present time are not worthy to be compared with
the glory which shall be revealed in us.” “For our
light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh
for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of
glory, while we look not at the things which are seen:
for the things which are seen are temporal; but the
things which are not seen are eternal.”

£sTRea<l the following tetter.—What proof
more reliable could be given in favor of any medicine
than the following letter received unsolicited from
the Rev. W. B. Jacobs?
Gents: Allow me, unsolicited, to send you a word
of commendation for your Pain Killer. I have used
it in my family these several years, and found it all, it
claims to be. For Rheumatism, Coughs, Colds, Burns,
(jholera tendencies and difficulties, as well as diseases
generally that prevail in families, I regard the Pain
Killer as beyona all price, and as efficacious beyond
any medicine in my knowledge. We keep it as
our chief family medicine, and find its use in ordioary
cases, worth more than any doctor. The testimony of
others among my acquaintances and friends is equally
favofable. Many clergymen have spoken of it in the
highest terms as a family medicine. Missionaries in
repeated instances have said to me, in person and in
their letters, that the Pain Killer was by far thejbest
medicine used in heathen lands, and they use it for
themselves and families, and administer it to others
around them. This much lam inclined to say, as an act
of justice to yourselves, and as a benefit to ethers.
You are at liberty to use this testimonial, if of any
service. Yours, etc.. Rev. W. B. JACOBS,

HYMN AND TUNE BOOK:

MISSION CHURCH
513 PAGES. 16 HO.
THE “SOCIAL HYMN AND TUNE BOOK” is
an endeavor to give, in a volume of modern size, the
best hymns and the best tunes.
The Hymns are mainly drawn from the '* Ckurch
Psalmist with such additions, solected and original,
as have the stamp of merit. These hymns are ar-
ranged under leading topics andin logical order. The
topics are indicated by right-hand headings in shall
Capitals, and will be found systematically arranged
at the close, in an Index; the logical order of the
hymnsis indicated by italic right-hand headings, and,
under the two extended topics, “ Christ” and Chris
tian Life,” is further indicated by subordinate divi s
sions in the “ Index of Topics.”
The Tunes, carefully selected and carefully adapted
to the hymns, are fitted, it is believed, both to express
the sentiments of sacred song and to kindle, in pious
hearts, the flame of devotion. They are old tunes
chiefly, with such approved new ones as the church
will not let die.
The Tenor and Bass have been given on separate
staves, at gome expense of space and cost; but to
many singers this arrangement will prove helpful and
acceptable.
While the collection is primarily designedfor social
worship, it is well suited to the Hse of the family and
of the great congregation.
