Iriigiras PBESBTtEBUH. 7^ e Q ana dian papers say that the Presbyterian Synods of Nova Scotia and which are in connection with the Free Church of Scotland, will con summate their union in the course of the year 1866. If the confederacy of all the Pro vinces of North America, which attracted last year so much attention, but which at present, notwithstanding the patronage of the plan by the English Government, seems to have no bright prospects of an early reali zation, should oe_ established, it would greatly promote the union movements among the religious denominations of those provinces. The Question Settled. —We have just received a copy of the Minutes of the Gene>- ral Assembly of the- Confederate States for 1864. As _we had heard that it is a matter of doubt with some whether the famous sen tence concerning the “conservation” of sla very was really approved by that Assembly, we turned to the Narrative of the State of Religion, and read as follows:—“ The reports of all the Presbyteries indicate an increasing interest in the spiritual welfare of our cot ored population. The long-continued; agita tion of our adversaries have wrought within us a deeper conviction of the Divine appoint ment of domestic servitude, and have fed to a clearer comprehension of the duties we owe to the African race. We hesitate not to af firm that it is the peculiar" 1 mission of the Southern Church to conserve the institution of slavery, and to make it a blessing both to master and slave. "—Presbyterian. Call to a. Pastorate. —Rev. William S. Plummer, D.D., late Professor in the West ern . theological Seminary, and formerly -a distinguished divine in the “ other branch” ll Presbyterian Church, has received a rail to the Second Presbyterian Church in Pottsville, Pa. Second Presbyterian Church, Troy, J-iTT-fms church, once the .pastorate of Dr. Wadsworth, late of this city, lost its house of worship by the great fire which swept off seven hundred buildings in Troy, about three years ago. A new church, of imposing dimensions and architecture, has just heen completed. The interval between the loss of the old building and the comple tion of the new one, has been one of serious embairasments. “But,” writes one on the ground, God has been very gracious to his people; and through all the trials which they have been oalled to endure during the three years of homelessness, they have come laden with blessings. More than a hundred members have been received daring these troublous times, from" eighty to ninety of them during the last year and a half; and the membership is now much larger than at the date of the fire, while the Sabbath-school has increased until it has become the largest of any Protestant church in the city. ” Death or Rev. John L. Craig. —We have seen an announcement, and it is no doubt true, of the death of this young bro ther. He had gone out as chaplain of an In diana regiment, and after passing through tbe. perils of war, felhafter the war was over, a victim to disease. He died at Macon, Ga. He was a very worthy man, and one of the most useful ministers of the United Presby terian Church. — United Presbyterian.

BAPTIST. Prosperity in Icwa. —The Divine bless ing is attending thelabors of Brother T. H. Judson in Franklin County, lowa. Be began to labor there a little less than two years ago, and b is organized churches at Hamp ton, (wheu i:e lives and which is the county seit,) Chapi.i, West Fork, and Union Ridge. He has baptised forty persons into these several bodies since the beginning of this present year. About twenty have also united in other, ways. The four churches number about one hundred members. Connected with these are four Sabbath-schools and six weekly prayer meetings.— (Mr. Times. Another School op the Prophets.— Chicago, where we believe the Baptists have a college, is to become the seat of a new Theological Seminary for the same denomi nation. So we leam from the late action of their Theological Union, where it was “Re solved, That we will open a Theological School on the first of January, 1866, provided two chairs areby that time endowed, or as much sooner as circumstances will admit.” Revivals in the Northwest.—We find these reported from Little Prairie, 111., and Fort Howard, Wis. We also see notices of the organization of churches at Nora, 111., and Sand Spring, Iowa; also of the dedica tion of a new Church edifice at Crystal Lake, 111. SOCIETY or FRIENDS. Quaker Evangelists Going to Labra dor. —On the morning of the 19th of Sixth month our friends Isaac Sharp and Edwin Pumphrey went- on board the Harmony y bound on her annual. trip to the Moravian Mission stations of Labrador. For nearly a century, one vessel once a year has kept up the-only communication from this country with the Moravian Mission stations there. Between ten and eleven, the Harmony left the, Basin, twenty to twenty-five friends of the mission being at that time on board. The morning was fine, and the occasion an interesting one. Between one and two o’clock a repast was-spread in the cabin and on deck; the vessel was now near Gravesend and the hour of parting at hand. According to usual custom, the verses of a farewell hymn wCre sung; after which, a few mo ments of silence having been requested, the knee was bent and vocal prayer ascended on behalf of those who were about to separate, and for ability to commend each other to the protecting care of Divine Providenee. A brief but impressive silence ensued, and then came the long farewell. Edwin Pumphrey took leave of his wife and son, brother and sister, and Isaac Sharp of his daughters, who had borne him company; and, amid brief parting salutations, one by one of those who came on board took leave and returned to the shore, being watched from the ship with loving interest until intervening vessels cut off'the power of fhrthef recognition. A ['comforting sense was mercifully granted to sour friends of being in the right allotment, amid deep feeling a peaceful calm prevailed, with ability “looking unto Jesus,” with calm and quiet confidence to trust in Him.—Lon don Friend. EPISCOPAL. Instability of Pastorates. —Bishop Clarke, of Rhode Island, in a recent Episco pal address to the Diocesian Convention, in closing a review of his ten years Episcopate, said: —“There are certain considerations which are forcibly suggested by a review of these statistics. It appears that the names of not less than eighty-six; clergymen have been enrolled in this Diocese- daring the last ten years; and of the thirty-eight still con nected with us, there are but nine who oc cupy the same parish which they served ten years ago. What a comment thfe is upon me present instability of the pastoral relation. 1 here must be. something wrong in such a condition of things as this. It is not at all peculiar to the Diocese of Rhode Island. In the neighboring Diocese of Massachusetts, where the list of clergy numbers one hun dred, there are but two. who occupy their posts which they filled at the time of my first settlement in Boston, twenty-eight years ago. These incessant changes certainly are not to be desired, and must be detrimental to the best interests of the Church; is there no possible remedy ?” Bishop Burgess on the Clergy and the Country. —ln his annual address before the late Convention of the Diocese of Maine, the Bishop reviewed briefly the past four years’ struggle; pointed out the duties’of the clergy in time of war and peace; stated the rela tions of the Church to country amid the pe rils of war; and looked gratefully and with gladness to the opening prospect of increased national unity. • The exemption of the clergy from bearing arms was contended for; at the same time there were. obligations resting upon them which contemplate, co-operation with the government in its efforts to subdue tbe rebellion. The principle of love of country was. kept conspicuously before the mind, as a distinct element of the character, and : as be ing fully as important in its sphere as any other quality or duty, Relations of North and South.— Bishop Wilmer, of the Diocese of Alabama, under date of June 20th, addressed a fetter to the clergy and laity of the Diocese, in the course of which he says : —“The lapse of the Confederate Government does not necessarily involve the disorganization of the general council of the church within the limits of that government. The nationality of a church is a matter purely conventional and of human arrangement. .It is assuredly possible for two church. organizations to exist under one common _ civil government, without vio lating the unity of the church. There is an essential difference between the unity of branches of the Church, and their union as one legislative - body. For example, the Church in England is in perfect unity with “the Church in the United States; but there is no legislative ufiion between these Churches. Again, (and this is a rase more in point,) the Ohurch in Scotlandisin unity with the Church in England, and yet they exist as distinct organizations,-under a civil govern ment. Consequently,: no charge of schism can justly lie against the Church in the Southern States, in. case she should see.ffit to perpetuate herself through a separate organ ization. She does' not thereby necessarily depart from the unity of the Church in doc trine, discipline, or order. Therefore, it may or may not, as circumstances may indicate, be advisable and expedient to dissolve the general council. This is a question for future ecclesiastical determination. ” On the change in the form of prayer re- , quired by the explosion of the Confederacy, the Bishop teaches that the lapse, of the Confederate Government requires, of neces sity, the omission of the “Prayer for the President of the Confederate States and all in civil authority. ” But he maintains that it doesnotfollowas a necessary consequence, that prayer for the President of the United States must ; be substituted Jin stead [thereof. [He] says :—“To pray for all in authority is, ini-" questionably, a duty—but a duty of religious, and not of political originand obligation. The mode of discharging 'that duty must be determined by the proper ecclesiastical. au thority. Consequently, any attempt on the part of a civil or military power to dictate to the Church in this matter, cannot hut be re garded as unauthorized and intrusive.”. “The Church in ibis country,” he adds, “has established a form of prayer for the President and ..all in civil authority. The language of that prayer was selected with careful reference to the subject of the' prayer, “ all civil authority, and she desires, for that authority prosperity and long - continuance. No one -can well be expected to' desire a long continuance of military rule. Therefore, the. prayer is altogether, inappropriate when no civil authority exists in the exercise of tbe functions. Hence'we may yield a true alle-' giance to, and sincerely pray for grace, wis dom and understanding in behalf of a gov ernment founded upon force, while at the same time we could not in good conscience ask for its continuance, prosperity, &c.. When the civil authority shall be. restored] it will be eminently proper for the Church to re sume the use of that form of prayer which has been established by the' highest ecclesi astical authorities, and winch has for so many years constituted a part of her liturgy.” “My conclusion is, therefore, and .my direc tion, which I hereby give, that when civil authority shall be restored in the State of Alabama, the clergy shall use the form, en titled, ‘A Prayer for the President ox the United States, and all in Civil Authority,’ as it stands in the Book of Common Prayer. ’ ’ SEAMEN. The State of the Work.—We take the following from the concluding paragraphs of the recent annual report, of the Boston. Sea men’s Friend Society. Most of our readers will be surprised ait the amount of effort in this direction actually going forward: — From the reports of the Society, Branches and Auxiliaries, it will be seen that there are in the various departments of labor at home and abroad, seventy' laborers, a large propor- of them ordained clergymen; that in addition, there are thirteen hundred and sixty nine officers and seamen, most of them con verted sailors, provided with as many Loan Libraries to labor among crews on ship-board; that TB,OOO seamen are reached in this way under most advantageodfe circumstances, and furnished with circulating libraries contain ing about 62,000 volumes; that, in addition to this, the Pennsylvania Branch has donated to vessels, since 1861, 238 libraries, varying in size from 25 to 200 volumes each; that the Western Branch has also placed several Loan Libraries on lake and river vessels; that the receipts to sustain these operations, including cost of collection, have been $BO,- 000 11, leaving still in the treasuries a bal ance of oyer $BOOO. We may challenge any organization for a more efficient and economi cal use of a Bacred trust fund. .i The appendix to the report shows that thirty-six laborers, nearly all clergymen, are employed by, Independent and Local Sea men’s Friend Societies: that the receipts of these Societies—a few of them being only estimates —to sustain this agency have been $60,624 22, leaving a balance of nearly $BOOO in the. treasuries of two of them in New York. , . - The whole number thus employed in this country and in our Foreign Chaplaincies THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN. THURSDAY. AUGUST 10, 1865 being one hundred and six, and the total re ceipts $140,680 33. Has commerce made a better investment, or the church struck a more effective blow, in the world’s evangeli zation? METHODIST. Philadelphia Items. —A series of open air meetings has been held near the Academy of Music, under the auspices of Rev. Adam Wallace. The preaching has been conducted by Rev. Alfred Cookman, Rev. Samuel Mc . Burney, and others. Another by Rev. J. W. Arthur, in the northern part of the city. Preaching by Rev. J. W. Arthur and Re,v. George W. Lybrand. Tracts were exten sively circulated. Another in the neighbor hood of St. James’. Preaching by Rev. Messrs. Murphy, Mingins, Arthur, Heilner, and Lybrand. This movement has proved a great success. Missouri. —The Presiding Elder of 1 the •Jefferson City District, (a new one to which the Bishop was last spring able to appoint but half a supply of preachers,) writes:—“ Our work moves nicely onward. Our meetings are all, with very few exceptions, attended with revival influences, and our membership has probably increased twenty-five per cent, since conference. The district does' better financially by far than we had hoped for. Collections are better than I have seen in Eastern congregations much larger and wealthier. The work could be easily doubled could we but get the earnest men to take hold of it. The greatest cry that salutes my ears is, ‘Do send us a preacher; we have not had one for four years, and we will do the best we can for him.’” •Another Convention. —lt is not yet ex actly on the tapis, but we presume it will in time become a fixed fact. A “ New England Methodist Convention” is the thing pro posed, and Zion's Herald says of it: —“ We are heartily in favor of such a Convention. We have long been of the opinion that a gen eral gathering of clergy and laity from all parts of New England, in some central local ity., would have a-beneficial effect upon Meth odism in various ways. It would strengthen our connectional bonds, and draw our hearts closer together.. It is not to save ourselves from disintegration and ruin, that we favor a call for a New. England Convention ; for as to any. immediate danger in that direction, we neither see it, nor believe it; but for the sake of a better acquaintance with each other, for. generalizing our ideas on all practical matters.conneeted with our church, and for harmonizing our views on the same. There is undoubtedly a best method for conducting our Sabbath-schools ;. a best method for con ducting the financial interests of the church ; and without being tedious in specifications, a best method for doing a score of other things which must be done if we as a church would prosper. Lei all the churches by proper re presentation come together, , and learn each other’s method, compare notes, discnsß mea sures, and find out what method is most easily, efficiently, and successfully worked, and then go home and put the same in prac tice.” THE CHCBCH eEREBAL. The Evangelical Alliance.— A new General. Assembly of delegates of all the evangelical churches of the world has been convoked to meet at Amsterdam , Holland, in September, 1866. The call for it was issued on April 20th, by an Executive Committee at Amsterdam, at the head of which is the Chamberlain of the King of Holland, Baron Von Wassenaer Von Catwijck. The call contains besides a cordial invitation to all the members. and friends of the evangelical Alliance in the . several countries, and to all evangelical Christians in. general, a prelim inary plan of the transactions to be held at Amsterdam. The programme provisionally agreed upon contains the following chief divisions: 1. The present condition of the hurch in all parts of the world. 2. Social questions, or the relation of Christianity to society. This department is to embrace re ligious' liberty. Church and State, school, "family, literature and art.. 3. Theological science, or the. relation of Christianity to science. 4, Christian philanthropic, or the relation of Christianity to the sufferings of humanity. .5. Missionary labor, or Christi anity and the pagan world. MISSIONARY. Eastern Africa. —Six young Africans— two married couples and two girls engaged to native Christians in their own. land—having received a Christian education at Bombay, have been sent to the Eaßt African Coast) and have joined the Rev. Mr. Rebmann, at the Kisuludini station of the Christian Mis sionary Society. These young persons are first fruits from among the liberated slaves'of East Africa. Before their departure the Governor of Bombay and Lady Frere, at ah interview with which they were favored, ex i pressed great interest in them, and presented to each of them an English Bible. How he became a Missonary. —Rev. F. A. Spencer, one of a company of mission aries of the M. E. Church, at a recent fare well prayer-meeting in New York, on the occasion of their sailing for India, said that he was converted at eleven years of age, and that since he had given himself to the ’mis sionary work he had learned that his father had visited a city in Ohio, called on a Chris tian brother, and asked him to go out'of town to the woods with him. Having arrived there he said, “Now I want you to unite with me in prayer for my youngest boy Frank, that God will convert him and make him a missionary.” God had answered that prayer, and he was now on his way to frilfil his call ing of God. FREEDMES. Self-supporting Spirit.—The colored citizens of Mobile, among whom we are establishing schools, are making a record, which we commend to those who fear that a generous charity is only ministering to indol ence and self-indulgence. Between the 13th of May and the Ist of July, they had volun tarily contributed upwards of four hundred dollars toward the salaries of teachers, a full thousand more toward fitting-up school rooms, and $lll 35 toward the national monument to President Lincoln. All; this for a beginning only. The Commission is expending with the greatest satisfaction, from $5OO to $lOOO per month to hid these-self helpers. — Freedmen’s Bulletin: From New Orleans.—You remember you told me to give up my night-school. I thought about it and concluded that I could not do it, so I am still teaching every even ing from half-past seven till ten and some times half-past ten. Those who attend, the night-school are really, thirsting for know ledge. Poor as they are and degraded as they have been,-they prove how earnest they are in their wish to learn to read, by coming every night after a long hard day’s work in the cotton-field, some of them two and three miles, and patiently waiting their turn to Tead and spell. It is surprising to me that' men who for so many years have been chained down so constantly to the most severe toil, should be able to learn as readily as they do. I enjoy my night-school greatly, the pupils are all so quiet, and solemn, and earnest. — Ibid. TEMPERANCE, Boston Liquor-sellers Getting Ex cited.—Colonel King, recently appointed by Governor Andrew, State Constable of this Commonwealth, has produced quite asensa- tion among the Boston liquor-dealers. He has been sending fetters to some of those who are selling the article in violation of the State law, politely inviting them “to quit” and notify J)™ of their intention. Over 500 of them, like Davy Crockett’s coon, propose to come down at once if the Colonel will not fire. This looks quite business like, just as if somethiiig was going to be done. The un ternfied have issued a circular or advertise ment in the Boston Post, setting forth their grievances, claiming that $35,000,000 are in; vested in the liquor interest in Massachusetts, and that 19,000 persons are engaged in sell ing it in this State. They propose to organ ize in order to resist the efforts now making to enforce the laws of the State against the illegal traffic. They claim that as they pay a direct tax on the liquor which they pur chase, into the revenue of the United States, which helps to pay the national debt, there fore the United States Court will, be obliged to deeide that the Prohibitory Law of Mas sachusetts is unconstitutional. They seem to overlook the fact that the Prohibitory Law provides and points out a legal way to sell all the liquors imported so far as they are needed for the. benefit of society and the use of the mechanic arts. We hope that none of the tender-footed temperance people will be alarmed at this threatened demonstration of opposition and wrath. If the enemy come out to meet us in ,fair fight on the constitutionality of the law, let us stand up to it like men in a good cause. It will be a poor way and a losing business for Massachusetts to pay off her share of the national debt by patronizing the.liquor traffic. The property that would be wasted by it, and the energies and lives that would be destroyed thereby, would infinitely outweigh the reve nue it would-bring. Let the temperance .pilot now stand firm at the wheel, and every man do his duty. If Governor Andrew has the battle fought through on this line he will deserve the everfesting love and gratitude of all good people.— Zion's Herald. miscellaneous. A Sunday-School Army. —A procession of Sunday-school children over 20,000 in number, recently took place in Manchester, England. It was the most numerous proces sion of the kind that has taken place, and occupied rather more than an hour in passing a given point. Each school was preceded by the clergymen and churchwardens of the church to which it belonged and by its male and female teachers, and most of the schools had a band of music at their heads. The number of people attracted to witness the spectacle was greater than ever known. There could not have been less than 40,000 or 50,- 000 people, and the streets were longer than usual in getting cleared, so that the ordinary traffic of the city could be resumed. Union Prayeß Meeting. Christian Times, Chicago, says that a daily Union Prayer Meeting has been established at : .Galena, and the Divine smiles have rested down upon it. Conversions among the young people in the different religious societies there are not uncommon. Brother Prescott, (Baptist,) has recently baptized two persons, and considerably larger additions have been made to other churches. FOREIGN. Liberia. —Charles Deputie, an emigrant from Pennsylvania, writes as follows:—God has blessed us. Last year my two youngest daughters were converted to God, also, two Congoes and one Queah. Seven of my own family belong to the Presbyterian Church. James H. Deputie is in the Methodist Mis sion at Cape Mount, some twenty miles in terior. John Deputie is under the Presby tery of West Africa, preparing for the min istry. Robert, my youngest son, is looking forward to the ministry. Rev. Thomaq ET jDillon, Presbyterian, my son-in-law, preaches here every two weeks. I have nothing fo re gret in coming to Africa. There is great need foi competent young men as ministers, teachers, carpenters, boat-builders, farmers. As the farming increases, labor becomes more abundant. The natives are more inclined to become enlightened, and the number of Con goes in our families has produced a favorable change among them. Could you get some friends to send us some books for our schools, they would be a great prize. We .are, now preparing to build a Presbyterian church in this place. Send us your prayers that God will vbless our labors. Chapel Building in London.— The Engf lish Congregationalist Building Society ori ginated about fifteen years ago. It has erected in and around London sixty-five places of worship, at an expense of a quarter of a million sterling. But to meet the neces sities of the fifty-eight per cent, of the popu lation of Great Britain still unprovided for, seven hundred chapels, each holding one thousand persons, would be required. The society now asks for ten thousand pounds from as many Christian families. There, are now twelve “ Morley Chapels” in progress, so called because Samuel Morley, Esq., a very prominent merchant, gave one thousand pounds from his private resources to each of these ' ITEMS. The clerical party in Naples is excessively irritated against a conjurer, M. Bosco, Jr., who lately at the San Carlo Theatre, imitated the miracle of St. Januarius. By universal consent, Bosco’s miracle was declared to be far more marvellous than that annually per formed in the church of that saint. The Methodist Episcopal Church has forwarded three additional laborers to East Tennessee, Bishop Ciarke transferring them for that pur pose to the Holston Conference. Their fields are Murfreesboro, Jonesborough Station, and Jonesborough circuit. Rev. Dr. Claxton, Protestant Episcopal, of Rochester, N. 1., has accepted a call to the chair of Homiletics in the Philadelphia Divinity School, and en ters at once upon its duties. Bishop An drew, of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, has issued a notice requesting the Southern Annual Conference to hold sessions this fall, and elect delegates to a General Conference to be held next April. Three new scholarships in the Princeton Theologi cal Seminar have been founded during the past year: 'Two of the endowments are $2500 each, and the' third $3377. There have recently been in this country several arrivals of returned missionaries, among them Rev. M. D. Sanders, with his family, and Mrs. Ward, the widow of Dr. Ward, of Ceylon, and Rev. H. S. Taylor and family from the Madura Mission. The will of the recently deceased Madame Jumel, widow of Aaron Burr, which makes large bequests to religious and charitable institutions, including $70,000 to an Episcopal Church in New York, is to be contested. Rev. R. W. Landis, D.D., after a four years’ service as chaplain in Mor ill’s cavalry, has been honorably mustered out, and expects to enter upon his profes sional duties at the opening of the next term of Danville Theological Seminary.
