Sslipms IttMlipro. PRESBYTERIAN. Revival in Philadelphia.—The Pres byterian Standard speaks of a revival recent ly enjoyed by the Presbyterian Church (0. S.) in Bndesburgh, a quarter in this city, undet the pastorate of Rev. J. B. Davis. The number of hopeful conversions is about thirty. • The Oil Region. —The New Presbyterian Church of Oil City, Pa., it is expected, will be dedicated to the worship of God on the last Sabbath of the present month. This edi fice is very neat and substantial, most beauti fully located, and capable of accommodating from six to seven hundred people. It will cost, with the lot on which it stands, about $lO,OOO. The pastor, Rev. Mr. Moore, and the few devoted Christians who have labored with him, have great encouragement to go forward with the good work. The dedication sermon will be preached by the Rev. David Hall, of the Presbytery of Allegheny.— Presbyterian Banner . 0 Baltimore —Rev. James M. Maxwell, of Kirkwood, Missouri, has been invited to the Twelfth Church, in Baltimore, the pastorate of which was lately made vacant by the la mented death of Rev. Mr. McCartney, only a few days following his installation. Scotland to America. —The Free Church of Scotland, at the late Session of its General Assembly; issued a fraternal letter to the Presbyterian Churches in this country. They sympathize with us, joyfully in our national triumph, smd tenderly in our national bereave ment. After speaking of various topics of nmtjual interest, the letter adds as-follows: i j . to that the greatest advantage would follow from the occasional visits of dep uties from your churches to us, and from us to you. We have much to learn from your varied schemes of Christian usefulness in dealing with a state of society so different from ours; and we know, from the testimony of Dr. Duff and many others, that in the field of heathenism there are no missionaries of more truly apostolic spirit than those sent forth by the churches of America You, on your part, might also find it not unprofitable to study the workings of Presbyterianism in Scotland, fragrant as our beloved country is with the memories of the myrtvrs, and ear nestly contending, as it still does,'for the faith once delivered to the saints. We must not forget, however, that there are other churches beyond the circle of Presbyterianism with which we are bound to cultivate a spirit of concord, and from the field of whose experi ence we seek to gather fruit. Let us all pro voke one another to love and good works.” Practical Unity.—The following, which we take from the Christian Instructor, is the closing part of an account of the meeting of the Des Moines Presbytery of the United Presbyterian Church, lately held in Knox ville, lowa: —“ On Monday, instead of a ser mon as is usual, a religious conference was held,, with reference especially to the out pouring of the Holy Spirit, and the revival of the work of grace in the church and nation. In this conference. Rev. B. F. Jacobs, of the 0. 5.., and Rev. Gordon, of the N. S. Pres byterian churches joined us. The services were very interesting and refreshing. It was felt how good and. pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity, and to talk with each other with reference to the great and vital interests of our holy religion, and the salvation of the perishing. All seemed to feel the importance of honoring the Holy Spirit more, trusting him more, and praying more for the revelation of his divine power in working within our souls the great work of grace. ajadjiLsivingJarcer efficiency to word ana ordinance m the conversion or. sinners. It was finally resolved to call a religious con vention, to consist of the various denomina tions, for the purpose of considering this whole matter of the work of grace, the exten sion of our common and beloved cause, and the greater harmony in aim and effort for se curing a revival of religion in our midst.” A Prosperous and Liberal Church.— The Union Church at Coleraine, Lancaster County, Pa., which has lately been so remark ably blessed by an extensive revival, has ad ded five hundred dollars to the salary of its minister, (Rev. Mr. Stewart,) in part given that he may travel to recruit his health; and has doubled its gifts to the Boards. The number of members has grown in seven years from 111 to 317, and its prospects are bright and cheering.— Presbyterian , Reorganization in Missouri,— The last 0. S. General Assembly, being overtured to that effect, made an arrangement for organ ising a Presbytery out of the loyal and scat tered material or the Lafayette Presbytery in Missouri. The arrangement was consum mated on the 151: nit., at Springfield, Mo.; where four churcti, .- with as many ministers were organized under che name of the Pres bytery ot Southwest Missouri. Mr. J. Gif fen, a Licentiate, was at the same time or dained as* an Evangelist, and becomes the stated supply at Springfield. The account in the Presbyterian, to which we are indebted for.the above, adds: —“The people of this region who were driven away by the war, are fast coming back, and reoccupying the # land; and many others are emigrating here from other parts, being attracted by the beauty of the country and the fertility of the land.” COSOIIEOATIOIVAI,, California. —Sixteen persons were ad mitted in the First Congregational Church, Oakland, last Sabbath ; eleven by profession, and five by letter. The number of members in this church now is 131. Since its organi zation, 149 have been admitted to its member ship. To the Third Congregational Church in San Francisco, fourteen persons were ad mitted, thirteen by profession. At the Green street Congregational Chapel, seven ad mitted, six by profession.— Pacific. Rockford, 111. —The Second Congrega tional Church, of Rockford, is one of the most imposing in the Northwest. Congrega tion about 500, under a model pastorate, the service of song conducted with artistic skill, yet devotional and inspiring; "Sunday school large and flourishing, embracing many of the leading families in the city. Home Missions in New England. —The auxiliary Societies of the American Home Missionary Society, expended in the six New England States, last year, $53,205.06. Accession of a Church and Pastor.— Rev. H. Mattison, D. D., some years since, in connection with the church of which he was pastor, seceded from the Methodist Epis copal Church and became “ Independent Methodist.” They have recently, accord ing to his statement, been invited to come into the Congregational connection, and at a hastily assembled meeting, and by an in formal vote, with only one dissentient, ex pressed their readiness to enter into this rela tion. It is expected they will do so as soon as the proper formalities can be gone through with. METHODIST. The Southward Movement. —Tennessee, as reported in the Advocate two weeks ago, is well occupied by our various Church agencies; and the rehabilitation of Method ism is«there going forward with rapid, vigor [ous strides. Dr. Newman, superintending four Church interests in New Orleans, reports Rhe existence of eleven societies in that city, Give of them colored, and altogether embrac cing a membership of over three thousand. At other points in the Mississippi Valley, as Vicksburg and Baton Rouge, preachers ap pointed by our Church authorities have com menced organizing societies and fostering a spirit of returning loyalty. Along the At lantic coast, the chief cities of Georgia and South Carolina hear once more the voice of our. preachers, and witness, anew the organi zation of societies in the interest of the old Methodist Church. This imperfect sketch of the work in progress shows that our Bishops and Missionary Secretaries are moving with celerity and vigor in the work committed to them. — Pittsburgh Christian Advocate. A Darker Account.—The following is fro™ t .* le Baltimore correspondent of the Christian Advocate and Journal:—“lnfor mation-received adjoining districts ol Virginia represents that with the return or peace the indications of a reunion of the Methodist Churches of those sections with the Methodist Episcopal Church rather di mmish than increase. The same bitterness of feeling that prevails in regard to political questions obtains in Church affairs. The ut most hostility toward everything that may be termed Northern is apparent, and the convic tion is increasing that the Methodist Episco pal Church will be compelled to make a mis sionary field of Eastern Virginia, and organ ize societies from the few thoroughly loyal citizens. The Baltimore Conference, in Vir ginia, not only adhere to their separate or ganization, but threaten to invade Maryland. The confederate Methodist Churches of Bal timore, were represented, and, at their invi tation, the session of the Staunton Baltimore Conference will-be held in that city in March nexk Revival. —Rev. R. A. Arthur, of the West Virginia Conference, thus writes to the Pittsburgh Advocate, of two fields of labor within the bounds of the Charlestown district: “ I have just closed.the first quarterly meet ings for this Conference year of Ashland and Greensburg circuits. The Lord poured out his Spirit at each of the quarterly meetings, and the brethren were abundantly blessed. Fifty or more were received into the Church,’mid the prospect was fair for the work to go on. The people are hungry for the word of life. I think all of the members of the Church South will return to our Church in that part ofourfield.” A Commendable Church Charity.— The Philadelphia Methodists are making progress in an effort for the erection of a “ Home for Aged and Infirm Methodists.” The. ladies are gradually perfecting the or ganization of the committee, in which it is designed that each church shall be repre sented. Those churches who neglect to identify themselves actively with this move ment are debarred from any participation in its benefits. London, Eng.—An extensive -and some what successful effort has been made by the Wesleyans, in this city, to reach the masses, through the erection and supplying of chapels ,in neglected districts. The enter prise is in charge of a Board, who report the opening of seven new ohapels during the year, and that an eighth is nearly ready. They further say :—“ Each of these chapels will accommodate a thousand people. There is every probability that the work of God in the conversion of souls will be greatly ad vanced in London by the erection of these new chapels, and considerable additional re sources developed for the erection of other sanctuaries amid the teeming and ever-grow ing multitudes resident in the metropolis. Already some of these chapels have large congregations.” BAPTIST. General Baptist bretK fen in this region thoir-aliare of the embarrassment which the spirit of rebel lion has laid upon Christian enterprise. A correspondent of the National Baptist, writ ing from Howard County, says:—“ I am a Baptist, a member of the church in this place; though lam sorry%j inform you that our candle has almost gone out —only two or three loyal members —and worse still, the disloyal of Methodist, Presbyterian, and Baptist Churches are affiliating for the pur pose of embarrassing all efforts in the way of reorganizing on a loyal basis. We have a handsome new church edifice, and no preach ing, simply because the shepherds, most of them, followed or rather led their flocks into rebellion. I know of but one loyal Baptist minister in Central Missouri, Rev. J. B. Fuller, now in Kansas City. God will time all these national changes in the interests of his Christ, hut so long did He delay the dawning that many good men despaired of day." Revivals in Connecticut. —Our ex changes mention important accessions to the membership of a number of churces in Con necticut by baptisms Among them are New London, Chesterfield, Groton first, Groton Bank, New Haven first, and Waterford. The numbers baptized in each church range from twenty-five to eighty. Fortress Monroe.— There have been Beveral large baptisms at this place among the Freedmen. The schools and churches are well attended by these dusky sons and daughters of America; and a visit to Slab •town and Hampton would give a good idea of the thrift of these “contrabands” who are numbered by thousands. — Nat. Baptist. Colportage IN Illinois,— At the recent anniversary of the Fox River Association, Messrs. Church and Goodman, proprietors of the Christian Times, offered to pay half the expenses of a colporteur to labor within the bounds of the association, if that body would pay the other half; and the offer was accepted. Newtown, Massachusetts, Theologi cal Seminary.— This oldest Theological School of the Baptist Church, held its fortieth anniversary on the 27th ultimo. An address before the Historical Society, by Rev. Mr. Smith, of GrotOn, consisted chiefly of a his tory of the early struggles of the Baptists in that State against the Congregationalists, who were then virtually a State Church. J. W. C., in the New York Observer , says of it: — “It was a candid resume of early history, giving due credit to motives, and reminding us. that both Puritans and Baptists had some thing to learn, which two centuries had not failed to teach.” Dr. Hague was also a speaker. His was a memorial discourse, the subject being the late Ira Chase, D.D., first Professor in the institution. This Seminary, ■when three of the present graduating class, who have given themselves to the Foreign Missionary cause, shall go to their fields, will have furnished forty foreign missionaries—an average of one each year. EPISCOPAL. Educational.— We learn that Hon. Asa Packer, of Mauch Chunk, Pennsylvania, has set apart the sum of five hundred thousand dollars, to establish and endow a college, near Bethlehem, in this State. He has given also fifty-seven acres of land, on which the college buildings will be erected. Judge Packer is now in Europe, but before he went he com municated his intention to Bishop Stevens, of this city, and other gentlemen, whom be has requested to determine upon a plan for the organization of the institution. On his re turn he will at once proceed to carry out his noble design, and it is to be hoped that he will live many years, so that he may witness the operations of the institution. If we are not mistaken, this gift to the cause of educa THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, JULY 20,-1865. tion is without a parallel, in this country at least.— Evening Bulletin. Return of Bishop Whipple. —The Bishop of Minnesota arrived from Europe last week, with health fully restored;. and set out for the West, on his return to his Diocese, at once. He has suffered severely from the Syrian fever, which brought him very low, but from which he has now recovered. — Church Jour nal. A Church Spire Completed.—The Luth eran Church of St. Mark’s, in this city, has just received a cross as the finishing touch to its spire. Concerning this emblem, the Luth eran of last week makes the following re marks : —“Everything about a Christian church should be in keeping with its aim. It should be Christian from the foundation to the head-stone. Itis simplymonstrous, pagan, and profane, as the last aspiration of architec ture to offer to the eye of earth and heaven a Burlington herring, a comet with a distracted tail assimilate to an old broom, a Dorking or Shanghai Rooster, a gilded foot-ball, an arrow which strikes nothing, or any of the vanity of vanes, which shadow to the mind nothing but the ease with which men and churches, ought not to be, but too often are, blown about with every wind of doctrine. The beautiful spire of St. Mark’s is to be spared such a desecra tion. On Saturday week, the cross was raised —and now draws many a grateful eye towards it, as it seems to Test against the calm brow of heaven—emblem of the world’s re demption, remembrancer of the world’s Re deemer, ever calling up in the heart of the saint, who uses its sacred suggestions aright, the solemn protestation : ‘God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, whereby the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. ’ ’ ’ . The Rev. A. J. Levy has been for some time laboring for the benefit of his kinsmen, according to the flesh, in Cincinnati, Pitts burgh, and other places, as an itinerant mis sionary to the Jews. He is recommended by ministers of different denominations in Cin cinnati, and has visited some of our churches. In the repprt made of his last year’s work, he says : “In iny labors among my brethren ac cording to the flesh, I have been well received, with a few exceptions, and they were willing to enter into conversation with me on the suo ject of their soul’s salvation, and in many places they came to church on the Sabbath day to hear me preach. The particular nature of my mission'among my Jewish brethren is such, that I cannot generally follow up the instructions I impart, for there are many months intervening till I can visit them again. As an itinerant preacher, l ean therefore do nothing but sow in faith, and leave the matu ring to Him whose prerogative it is to do so. ’' —Presbyterian Banner. A New Step toward Reform. —A petition is in circulation—how extensively, we are not informed—for signatures by the defenders of the Union, of which the following is a copy: “We, the undersigned, Officers, Soldiers and Sailors, fighting for the Union during the late Rebellion, being satisfied that the use of Ardent Spirits tends to disqualify men for the discharge of their duties; and further, that the. use of the same by men in office, both military and civil, is an example of evil, which tends to lower the condition of society, de grade men and mislead the youth of our coun try, for the' unity and freedom of which we have fought, do hereby respectfully ask you to place upon books of your State, aforesaid, as a part of every official oath of both military ana civil officers in and for said State, Words Ilf rabaO'Tmr, follows r AAd.-I do frirther solemnly swear (or--«raßrm) that during my term of office I will use no intoxi cating liquors as a beverage. Also, the undersigned do further ask your Honorable Body, at its earliest convenience, to memo rialize Congress to enact a similar law in con trolling all persons holding offices under the United States Government. And as in duty bound, we will ever pray. ” An exchange remarks upon the above : “This is a move in thnright direction; but to be successful it musoKe steadily and ener getically aided by Citizens. Why will Christian people consent to be represen ted any longer by drunken men ?’ ’ Sandwich Islands.—Rev. S. C. Damon, Chaplain of the American Seamen’s Friend Society at Honolulu, reports the following three items:—. A Stranger in the Prayer-meeting. —ln the month of March, at one of our Wed nesday evening meetings, after I had finished" my opening remarks, an opportunity was afforded for any to speak who seemed in clined. A gray-haired man arose, who stated that he was carpenter of the -, a whale ship, whieh arrived that very day. The substance of his address was this: —That for eighteen months he had been connected with the Army of the Potomac, hut being disgusted with himself and all the world, he had come off to sea. At New Bedford, how ever, he fell under the influence of a most excellent lady, a Mrs. Dennison, who labors among seamen. Through her efforts, he had been brought to see himself a sinner, and, as he hoped, a follower of Christ. It would re quire more space than I can afford, to record the subseqent career of this man; but suffice it, he is now a member of our Bethel Church, and I hope is laboring to do good among seamen. He is at present an inmate of the United States Hospital, in this city. Two Soldiers at the Prayer-meeting. — At one of our prayer-meetings last spring, the man was present whose case I have just described, and another soldier from the “Army of the Potomac.” Both spoke of having found ‘ ‘ peace in Jesus’ ’at sea. Both shipped from New Bedford at the same time, but in different ships. They never met until they met at our Bethel prayer-meeting. They are again separated, but I doubt not will meet to spend all eternity together, in singing praise to God and the Lamb. Jesus found off Cage Horn, and in the Arctic Ocean. —At one of our meetings last fall, one sailor, a Swede, said that he found the Saviour precious to his soul off Cape Horn, and another declared that he found the Saviour. precious in the Arctic Ocean. Surely Christ is with his people in all parts of the Ocean, “amid the tumbling mountains of ice,” which encircle the North pole, as well as while buffetting the rude winds off the stormy cape of South America. Mr. Damon.further reports :—During the past year I met with very many religious seamen. It does seem as if the number of pious seamen must be very much upon the increase. At our religious meetings they have been more free to speak than formerly. Very seldom has there been the Sabbath when we have not had some religious seamen in port to take part in our meetings. In reviewing my labors at this station dur ing the past. twenty-two years, it is among the pleasant incidents, that several, whom I have known as seamen, are now laboring as successful ministers of the Gospel. Three belonging to this class are now preaching in California.. Two are in San Francisco. One of ti ese is the valuable arid useful agent of the American Bible Society in that city. Valuable Statistics of Protestant Missions. — The British missionary societies LUTHERAN. THE JEWS. TEMPERANCE. SEAMEN. MISSIONARY. are twenty in number, employing 6,216 , vl , n £ 184,000 church members, 201,000 scholars, and an annual income of $3,034,000. The Continental societies are twelve in number, one half having their headquarters in Germany, having 811 agents, (one-half of the British number,) 70,000 church members, 12,000 pupils, (one-six teenth of the British number,) and an annual income of $287,000, (one-tenth of the British amount.) The European total of Protestant missions:. 32 societies, 7,027 agents, 263,000 church members, 213,000 pupils in schools, and an annual income of $3,381,000. The American missionary societies are sixteen in number, (one-half.of the European,) 2,388 agents, (one-third of the European,) 54,000 church members, 22,000 pupils, with an in come of $1,000,000, (one-third of the Euro pean amount.) The grand total of Protestant missionary operations, then, is 48 socie ties, 9,415 agents, 317,000 church mem bers, 235,000 pupils, and a combined income of $4,481,000. The Island of Ceylon.—There are now on the island, according to a computation made by Rev. J. Nicholson, 55 missionaries, 165 native ministers and catechists, 363 churches, 5,730 communicants, 18,286 adhe rents; together with 248 boys’ schools, 115 girls’ schools, in which are taught 9,502 boys and 4,048 girls; total, 13,550 scholars. Under the. care of ten colonial chaplains there are, in addition, 1,750 communicants, and 4,950 adherents. JUSCELLANEOES. Morals in Oregon.—The Pacific Chris tian Advocate, says that the business men of "Wall®' Walla have determined to- close their doors on Sundays, at 10 AM., and do no business. They have no Sunday law, and are pretty high up in the mountains/and proba bly have not thought of Puritan Blue Laws; but they believe that it is proper, necessary and right, to rest one day in seven. The Walla Walla Statesman makes some very pertinent remarks in favor of the measure. Only two papers have come to this office condemning the Oregon Sunday law; and but one which denounces that portion of the Oregon Code which provides for the suppression of gam bling dens and houses of HI fame. Decay of Campbellism.—The Disciples —or Campbellites, as they are properly call ed —seem to be on the high road to corrup tion. All men who know anything, know how they have boasted about themselves and de nounced everything not of thir own line of thought. If eulogies of self and anathemas of the sects are essential conditions of disciple ship, they are entitled to the name while the world stands. But it would seem that they begin to be conscious that there are some things wrong at home as well as else where, Jacob Creath, a preacher among 4he.nL says: “We, as a people, progress so rapidly in the introduction of into our holy religion, that we scarcely stand long enough at one pointto be converted.” — Pitts burgh Christian Advocate. Utah.—John Acton, writing to The Pacifie from Camp Douglas, near Salt Lake City, estimates the number .Of “Gentiles” in the latter, exclusive of the army, at from three to four hundred. Under the protection of the United States Government, a Sabbath school is in operation, attended chiefly by children of- Mormon parents. Concerning this school he writes: —“The interest taken by the youth of Utah in our institution does not lessen, notwithstanding many attempts have been made to detach the children from our gatherings*. and cause them to spend their Sabbaths in some other place than the Gen tile Sabbath-school. We have now the nucleus of a Sabbath-school library, which is astonish many a person in California to see the effects of our operations on Borne of the children here; they thought us exceedingly liberal when we first gave them a Sunday school paper; many of them were under the impression that these would have to 'be re turned, and took great care of them, that they should not be soiled or torn, lest any "damage done to them should debar them from receiving another; and now, when we offer to such as deserve it, the loan of a book to read during the week, their amazement as well as their gratitude is unbounded. These little messengers penetrate where we could not visit, and are doing a work small indeed at present, but the results of which will be great things by and by. In many families the reading has been confined to the Deseret News, or some small Mormon publication, or a solitary book, which they have brought from their father-land, the contents of which, from its. being their only source of informa tion derivable from books, they know almost by-heart.” ■ ITEMS. The Green Street Congregational Church in San Francisco, has undertaken the work of a religious visitation of the families in the 'part of the city near the church. A “per manent committee on Home Evangelization— superintends the work, and the whole move ment is reduced to system. The corner stone for a new Presbyterian chapel on For tieth Street, New York, (intended forerunner of a church, )was laid with appropriate cere monies on the 6th*inst.- The First Reform ed Presbyterian Church, New York, (Rev.

The Rev w. W. Paul, who joined the East Conference it its last session, and was sta tioned at Darien, Conn., was accidentally killed while walking on the track of the New Haven 'Railroad on Tuesday the 27th ult. The Rev. T. H. B. Austin, of the Methodist Protestant Church, having preach ed at Laurel, Del., on Sunday, June 25th, took the cars next morning for Baltimore. When about four wiles from Baltimore, unfortunate ly reaching his head out of the window, it was struck by a wrecked car near the track, and he was instantly killed. The M. E. church in Newton, N. J. was on Sabbath, July 2, freed from debt by a subscription of $2,400. The celebrated" London preacher, Spurgeon, has discarded the title of Rev., and requests to be addressed simply as Pastor Spurgeon. This is a becoming taste. A son. of the late Dr. Arnold,, of Rughy, who a few years ago renounced the Protestant for the Popish faith, and was for some time a professor in Dr. Newman’s University in Dublin, has re cently recanted, and returned to the English Church. The Presbyterian announces two more bequests to .the 0. S. Assembly’s Fund for Disabled Ministers, one of ssoo’ and the other of $lOOO. Rev. Dr. J. H. Jones, of this city, publicly withdraws an endorsement recently given by himself to the papers of a man professing to be a converted Pole, and preacher of the Gospel, on which papers the latter secured sympathy and material aid. The reason assigned for revoking the endorse ment, is the belief that his papers are not genuine, and that he is imposing upon the charitable.
