Sfta nf am ©(juklies. The Olivet Church, Philadelphia. —The new Olivet Presbyrerian Cburch on the corner of Mt. Vernon and Twenty, second Streets, is now in the bands of the Trustees and everything within is ready for the furnishing. The lights are already set in the ceil ing, the furnaces are being |>uilt, and contracts are closed and the work under way for the upholstering, carpeting and pulpit furniture. John A. Brown, Esq., has pledged a donation of $5,000, provided $5,000 ad ditional shall be raised, to enable the congregation to enter the Sanctuary free from debt. Of,the additional $5,000, about, $1,500 are secured, and the people are actively at work to raise the balance. So large and imposing a Church, with a congregation so persevering as thishas proven itself will be an important acqui sition to our denomination and to the cause of Christ, in that beautiful portion of our city. Results of Rev.

At our last communion we received eleven persons to our fellowship upon profession of their faith, five of whom spoke of your preaching as being the cause under God of their awakening; Of the twenty five admit ted upon examination -at- the previous'6om mumon, I think jv&niay count six or ssven or m £ r ? a ® M l 6 fruits o£ your labors,, among whom was my eldest fourteen years At our last communion, the second Sab bath in August, we received the little, boy ot whom perhaps you remember I wrote you, atone of yourfiteetttfes in the —— Church. About a week after he found the Saviour he Was taken very sick,’-and we thought he must die. Ihe day Lsent ypn the note I, thought he could not live till night. But God has raised him up. May it' not' be' for service ‘ either great or small for Him ? So we will hope and pray. v -Leave read with great interest-your letters to, and talks with, the children in the Af rican Presbyterian, and with peculiar rel ish, your account of your steiihboat trip from Boston away up North. May- you be thus invigorated anq prepared for a good fall and winter campaign in the service of the Master. We have not yet gathered in all the frhit which limy ripen frotn the seed sown by you. As we gather it >in I may write you again. The children speak lovingly of you and seem to delight in singing of Jesus the little songs which you learned them. I hear them often in the streetß, < An Tennessee Presbytery.— The Presbytery of Kingston met at Athens, on the 7th of this month. Members present, Revs. Thos. Brown, Wm. B. Broyrn, T. R.

Thompson. It then consisted of seven teen persons. After passing through a series’ of'vicissitudes, but all the while gradually acquiring strength, they are at length in possession of a new and beautiful church edifice, which was pub licly set apart for Divine service on the - inst. The sermbn was preached by Rev. Thomas Marshall, a "young minis ter sent out by Dr. Adams’ Church, New who has for some time past been laboring with them, and who carried with him to their help a bounty of $ 1 dOO firopi, h|s mother church.

To Home Missions we gave $643, receiving back for our own weak churches $4BO of the amount. To the latter ■ _canse, all the churches, save one, nearly dead, contrib uted. For a part of our vacant churcheß, the arrangement was made that two of the. ministers should visit each,; and preach to the people for two weeks. Two young men, one of them Mr. W. T. Hart, onr own' licentiate; the other, Mr. H. P. Higley, from Rutland Association, Yt., were ordained to the gospel ministry, as evangelists.

There are but two vacant churches within the boimdS'of the Presbytery; and they are looking for a pastor. They will each furnish a pleasant field 'and support to a man who desires to engage'in the Mas ter’s service. Rev. Geo. Duffield, Jr., and also Rev. S. W'.

This Presbytery look on social prayer meetings as eminently conducive to the frowtiu-and prosperity ofreligion and the eqpingjup ofa spirit ofbrotherly-loyeamong members of the church, add earnestly exhort congregations in their care to give diligence m maintaining these in life and vigor. 2. That we regard Sabbath-schools as an excellent means of instilling religious truth into the minds of children, especially of those who have no other means of instruction, and, do hereby urge upon our congregations the duty of establishing and maintaining such schools in their midst.

Mr. Blair acknowledged the fact. The Presbytery labored hard tobring the old : gentleman to see the error of his ways; but he remained unconvinced.
