Union Theological Seminary— We
see it stated that the Hebrew chair in this
institution is to be temporarily filled by
Retr. Dr. Van Dyck, the oriental scholar,
and Missionary of the American Board
connected with the Syrian Mission. We
have before noticed the arrival of Dr.
Van Dyck in this country to superintend
the printing of the new Arabic transla
tion of the Bible, commenced by the late
Dr. Eli Smith, and completed by himself.
His services in the Seminary will un
questionably be of the highest value.
Church Extension in Minnesota.—
Under the labors of Rev. A. G. Ruliff
son, State Missionary, a new church of
fifteen members has recently been organ-
Preston, the county seat of Fill
more county. It worships for the pre
sent in the finely finished and well
arranged hall of of the court house, and
is now supplied with regular gospel min
istrations. Out of a population of less
than five hundred iu the town, about two
hundred attend upon its worship, and
its Sabbath-school numbers eighty-five
scholars. Its prospects are, on the
whole, quite good.
Ithaca—The First Presbyterian
Church of Ithaca, have called Rev. Theo
dore F. White, of Delhi, N. Y.-, to suc
ceed Dr. Torry. By the way, the latter,
if our memory serves us, was enticed
from the same fold to serve Ithaca. This
would seem to argue a remarkable coin
cidence of taste in the two churches;
and pf which, as yet, Ithaca has reaped
all the advantage. It is probable that
that she Bent on 'one or more of her trust
ed men to hear Messrs. Torry and White,
before deciding, but we see not why, in
all future cases, that preliminary might
not be dispensed with; and thus the
compliment to the good judgment of the
Delhi brethren would be all the more
striking.— Evaneglist.
Our New Philadelphia Pastor.—
We have announced that Rev. J. Ford
Sutton, late of Howell, Michigan, has
entered upon his labors with the West
ern' Presbyterian Church in this city.
A correspondent of the Evangelist, writ
ing from Howell, thus speaks of him :
“ While deplore the loss of so dear a
friend and so able a pastor, we cannot
but admit and acquiesce in the consid
eration of Christian duty and zeal for
the increase of the Master’s kingdom
which actuate-him in removing to a
more extensive vineyard and enlarged
.sphere for Christian influence and exer
tion. And we desire to express, as far
as language can, the sincere and tender
love and the'perfect honor and esteem
with which he is regarded by the entire
church and congregation. And we de
sire also to signify our appreciation of
his worth and ability as a pastor, and
testify to the fidelity and felicity with
which he has watched over and lafagred
for the interests of the Zion committed
to his care, and performed acceptably to
all, the many peculiar duties and respon
sibilities of the minister of the Gospel.
The memory of his sojourn here will be
peculiarly cherished in the hearts of
many, who at his coming were in the
‘ bonds of iniquity,’ but who, by the bless
ing of God upon his efforts, are now sit
ing at the feet of Jesus ‘ clothed and in
their right mind.’ All look back upon
the period of hiß labors here as being the
happiest in their Christian experience.
Of genial manners ; he was universally
beloved. Of fervid, earnest eloquence,
he was powerful in the pulpit, arousing
and inciting all, and leading many to
Jesus. Of untiring energy he was ac
tive in every good word and work.
There was no such Wofd as faiWin his
Napoleonic vocabulary. Every enter
prise in which he engaged felt the mo
mentum of his ardent, earnest spirit.
His removal will be sincerely regretted,
not only by his own people and within
the bounds of his own Presbytery, but
will be tffoss to the State. May the
‘ Lord bless and keep him,’ and may the
people to whom he goes receive him with
the cordial love and generous confidence,
which he deserves, and out-do us in mani
festations of gratitude and esteem.”
. An Important Point Occupied. We
have at length a church of our connec
tion organized and starting its career
under.highly promising auspices, in one
of the old "towns of Ohio, Marietta, the
seat of Marietta College. The Christian
Herald , giving an account of the organi
zation, says“ Some of the good peo
ple of the place havo felt for years that
a church in connection with our Assem
bly would promote the interests of edu
cation and religion. This feeling has at
length been expressed in action. In
July last an informal organization was
made} and Rev. Henry W. Ballantine,
returned missionary from India, was in
vited to commence ministerial labors.
The friends of the new enterprise com
menced holding meetings on the 20th
of July, in a Mission School-room in the
morning and in the Lutheran church in
the afternoon. These places have been
crowded .and the prayer-meetings held
in the Lutheran church have been well
attended. The Holy Spirit has been
present abd sinners awakened, bo that
God seemed evidently to say to his peo
ple ‘go forward.’. On the 27th ult., a
church was organized with 53 members,
most of whom brought letters from the
congregational church, (Rev. Dr.
Wickes’). Prof. E. B. Andrews and
Rev. M. Curtis, of Belpre, assisted Mr.
Ballantine in the organization and in the
ordination of tw<Truling elders.” It is
peculiarly pleasant to find added in the
Herald, thai the new _ organization has
the cordial sympathy of the previously
existing Old School church in the place.
It is also stated that a fine new Lecture
room, the forerunner of an ample church
edifice, is sbout to be erected in a beau
tiful and convenient location.
Transfer. —Rev. A. L. Brooks leaves
the Seventh Presbyterian Church, Chi
cago, to take the pastorate of the church
in Peoria, 111.
Mason, Ohio.— There have recently
been several accessions to the. church in
this place, under the care of Rev. E. S.
Weaver. The Christian Herald has a
cheering account of the prosperity of the
Sabbath-school, and also of a large Bible
class of adults conducted by one of the
Elders. This last is, in any church
where it exists, a feature of inestimable
value.
Erie, Pa. —TheAVte Gazette says that
the First Presbyterian church is about
to undergo some .necessary repairs, in (
the way particularly of stopping leak
ages in the roof. If to this should be
added the work of frescoing the audience
room, the members can lay claim to one
of the handsomest as well as most sub
stantial church edifices in the country.
The pastor, Rev. Dr. Lyon, will avail
himself of the opportunity afforded by
the proposed repairs, to go abroad for
the benefit of his .health, which has been
somewhat impaired by constant devotion
to his arduous duties.
Rev. J. B. Reeve and his Mission.
—Our readears are already aware that
Mr. Reeve, the accomplished pastor of
the Colored Central Presbyterian church,
on Lombard street in this city, is spend
ing a few weeks of exploration among
the freedmen in Tennessee, under com
mission from our Committee on Home
missions. We have been favored with
the perusal of a letter from him, under
date of Knoxville, September 2, ad
dressed to a member of his session, with'
permission to use portions of it for pub
lication. We avail ourselves of this lib
erty, knowing that to hear of his welfare
and works will be interesting' to his
friends, and to the church generally.
He writes:—
“I left Chattanooga on the llth ult.,
came to Knoxville, remained a few hours,
and then went on, seventy-five miles, to
Greenville,where the Holston Presbytery
was then in session. I was kindly re
lieved by the Presbytery, was invited to
sit with them, &c., and felt as much at
home as I should in a strange Presby
tery at the North. They listened atten
tively to an account of my work,
and passed a commendatory resolu
tion, I consider this quite a triumph;
since some of the intensest negro haters
I have ever seen or heard of are among
the Union men of this region. This is one
of the anomalous and painful facts we
meet. I spent • five days in Greenville,
and-held five meetings—two in the old
Greenville college, where the freedmen
now have a large school; one in the
camp of the First United States Colored,
Heavy Artillery; one in the camp of the
■ Fortieth-United States Colored Troops;
and one in the New School Presbyterian
church. The First United States Col
ored Heavy Artillery is the finest regi
ment I have yet seen. It was composed
at first of eighteen hundred men. I found
several brethren of our own faith and
order, from Kentucky and Tennessee,
among them. Those from Kentucky,
told me of several once large colored
Presbyterian churches in that State
which tlfev entreated me to visit. I
found in one Prebyterian
preacher ; a noble man, of thirty-six
years, whose piety the most ungodly of
the men seemed compelled to respect.;
Now that the war is over and our peo
ple freed, I found him anxious to devote
himself to the work of the ministry, as
he was never able to. do ivhen a slave.
I succeeded in getting him detailed to
labor among the freedmen in this section,
with which he is well acquainted. I
Ssould have organized three or four
churches had there been men to take
them and carry them on. The colored
Presbyterians here, and those who in
cline to Presbyterianism, like many at
the North, want educated ministers, and
they are worthy of them. We have un
derrated their intelligence.
“ I visited Rogersville, where brother
Sawyer used to preach, and from whence
he was driven in 1851, because he
wanted to discipline a rich member who
had had a slave whipped most unmerci
fully. I was there, and' preached two
sermons to freedmen in the church he
was forced to leave.
“ I have been here in Knoxville just
one week. The freedmen here are very
intelligent and enterprising. I am per
fectly at home in the family of brother
Scraggs, a thorough business man, a de
voted Christian, a good N. S.. Presbyte
rian, whose heart is set on having a
church organized here. We hope to or
ganize next week. We must have a
minister from the North for this point.
Settled here, a man could work all up
and down this region with great com
fort, and every prospect of success.”
Compliment to a Pastor.— -The So
ciety of the First Presbyterian Church,
last evening, paid a handsome compli
ment to their worthy and successful pas
tor, Rev. Dr. Fowler. The following
resolutions were adopted with great una
nimity:
Resolved, That during the fifteen years
in which Rev. Philemon H. Fowler,
D.D., has been pastor of this church, he
has greatly endeared himself to the mem
bers of this Church and congregation by
his consistent deep toned piety ; by the
fidelity, directness, and ability of "his pul
pit ministrations ; by the thoughtfulness
and tender consideration with which he
has acted as shepherd of his flock, and
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1865,
by the eminent practical sagacity with 1
which he has labored, and endeavored
to enlist the Church, in. the support and
extension of every work calculated to im
prove society and advance the kingdom
of Christ. - .
Resolved, That these long years of
zealous and successful service here,
justify the warm affection, the high per
sonal esteem, and the unreserved confi
dence in him as a minister of the Gopel,
which this church and congregation
cherish, and which are shared by our
entire Christian community.
Resolved, That the salary of the. pas
tor of this church from and after the first
day of November next, be increased to
the sum of three thousand' dollars per
annum, payable quarterly from and after
that date Utica N. Y. Paper,.
THE RELIGIOUS PRESS.
The papers of the M. E. Church are dis
cussing the late manifesto of the Bishops of
the Southern branch of their Church adopted
at Columbus, Georgia, August 17th. This
document spurns the idea of union with the
Northern Church, and assumes superiority
over it in the old-fashioned, arrogant style of
the South. - The New York Methodist com
ments upon the document as follows:—
We print in full, on another page of this
paper, the pastoral address- of the Southern
Methodist Bishops, and we ask for it, from
all our readers, an attentive perusal. They
will perceive, and many of them with regret}
that the spirit of these leaders of Southern
Methodism is still unchanged. Though claim-,
ing, and doubtless having received, the bene
fits of the Presiden’t amnesty, they are in
heart as rebellious as ever. They call North
ern Methodists “radicals,” but so is the
Government which has reduced them to sub
mission radical; for that Government has
performed the most “radical” acts of the
century—it has emancipated the slave, and
has declared him equally entitled with the
white man to the protection of the law. The
spirit of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
which these bishops, with an affectation of
sanctity, denounce as political, is the spirit
for which Abraham Lincoln blessed God, and
which inspired a hundred thousand Method
ists to rally to the rescue of our imperilled
Union.- In saying that our “pulpits are
perverted to agitations and questions promot
ive of political and ecclesiastical discord,” the
Southern bishops impeach the devotion of
our _ Church to freedom-and. the Unioni'
Hating freedom, and hating the Union as
much as they dare, they will not consort with
us. This, stripped of its disguises, is the
meaning of their-manifesto.
It is clear that these Southern leaders have
learned no wisdom from the past; that they
cherish with fondness the souvenirs of the
rebellion; that they are determined to foster
in the minds of their flocks the opinions and
the spirit which led to rebellion. Loyalmen.
will indignantly ask for what end is this done ?
Is it their design to make the Southern
Methodist Episcopal Church the nursery of
future treasons and future outbreaks against
the authority of the Union?
In this document, the bishops have written
the death warrant of Southern Methodism.
No Church,which thus cherishes a hatred of
loyal men because of their devotion to free
dom . and the Union, can stand before the
American people. The ever-intensifying in
dignation against the pro-slavery and rebel
lious spirit will shorten its days. The South
ern bishops have had offered to them an ob
livion of the past, and the opatrtunitv of
entering upon a new life.
ferred to flaunt their past,'odious as it is to
all true men, in our faces, and to glory in it
as a badge of distinction. Henceforth they
are known and read of us all.
The N. Y. Christian Advocate renounces
all hope of re-union with the church South,
and continues as follows;
_Our work in the South, it is now quite cer
tain, will be very largely—almost, wholly, in
deed—among the colored people. It is now
known, as was originally strongly probable,
the entire negro Methodism of the South
will at the first opportunity repudiate all con
nection with the pro-slavery M. E. Church
Sowth. It is also well known that they are
earnestly inclined to our Church, and we
know that unless misled by sophistries, they
would en masse pass over to us. That in any
case they have formed other associations has
been more our fault than theirs, though they
will be the principal sufferers. But we re
iterate the declaration that the colored Metho
dist Churches of the North are entirely in-.,
adequate to the work of occupying any con
siderable portion of the Southern field. They '
lack the needed money and the still more
needed men; and above all, they lack the
culture and intellectual training that is an in
dispensable condition to success in such a
work. That there is good material in those'
bodies we grant, and could they be absorbed
into our church organization they could be
made a valuable element. The interest of all
parties and of our common work demand
such a consolidation.
Uur missionaries to the South will need to
go to their work in the spirit of self-sacrifice.
Their mission will be emphatically to the
poor, the despised, outcast, and shamefully
persecuted late slaves; now nominally and
legally, though scarcely in fact, freedmen.
The double odium of being “ Yankees’ ’ and
“nigger preachers” will have to be borne by
them. Social ostracism, bitter contempt, and
violent hatred, will constitute the sum of the
hospitality extended to them by the great
body, of the Southern people, and especially
by the Methodists. Their associations will
be chiefly with the colored people,
them they are to labor together in the cause'
of Christ, and by them they will find it
necessary ro be entertained in their pastoral
and itinerant labors. In short, they will find
it necessary to make common cause with the
freedmen, to live among them, and to share
their manner of living; to be partakers of
their poverty and discomforts, and to. have
part in their reproach. That there will also
be many compensating facts is very probable,
and to one whose heart is fully in the work
the disagreeable things we have named will ap
pear as trifles. It is well, however, that they
should be duly anticipated, that when experi
enced they may not cause discouragement.
We have then nearly four million people
cast upon our charity and Christian zeal;
crude, unlettered, and very poor; but unso
phisticated, with strong religious tendencies,
especially well affected toward us as a denom
ination, inclined to learn, instinct with' the
love of freedom, generous, hospitable, and
remarkably faithful to theifrecognizedfriends.
Was ever before so favorable a mission
field given by the. Head of the Church
to any people ?. Were it necessary in. or
der to occupy it to abandon eveiy one of
our foreign missions, we believe that should
be done; but there is no such necessity.
The Church, is ready to‘ stretch her measure
to this as an additional work. We have the
money. Let a special fund of two hundred
thousand dollars be asked for, to be given by
individuals and Churches who have given or
hold themselves pledged to give their full
contributions to the general fund, and the
money will be forthcoming. We have the
the bishops and the missionary
secretaries call for them ; or, which is per
haps better) let the bishops appiont men, as
■T' Uaven was appointed to Vicksburg,
without being asked, and as in his case, a
large share of them would respond to the call.
