forts. The U. P. Freedmen's Mission
at this place, superintended by Mr. R.
J. Creswell, is doing a most important
work. He is looking for a new force of
teachers for the present term.
Rev. J. B. Reeve, of your city, has
nearly completed his general survey of
the religious condition of the Freedmen
in Tennessee. He will,soon be able to
give you a full report of his mission. The
church he organized at Knoxville is of
promising material, and will probably be
represented•in Presbytery and Synod.
The brethren sent out by the General

KENDERTON CHURCH, PHILADELPHIA.
—This church, situated on Tioga Street,
in the northern part of the city, has for
a number of years teen worshipping in
the basement , of good-sized church edi
fice, the upper part of which has lain
unfinished., We learn with pleasure,
that they expect about the first of Janu
ary, to occupy, the audience chamber,
perfectly and tastefully finished and furn
ished. The money for the completion of
the building is mostly provided for,
chiefly through the liberality of four
meinbers of - the congregation, Messrs.
White, Craven, Claflin, and Megargee.
This enterprise, under the pastorate of
Rev. Mr. Hendricks, is decidedly im
proving.
CHRISTIANA, DEL.-Our Church in
this pleasant little Delaware t,own/ras
for some months past enjoyed the labors
of Rev. J.. Hervey Beale, pastor elect.
It is fast_` rising in pecuniary ability, as
well as otherwise, raising now double
the late amount toward the support of e.
pastor. A. festival was recently held to
raise means for freeing themselves from
debt and repairing the church edifice.
In arranging the affair, they set for their
mark $BOO. It turned out slloo—a
pretty fair disappointment.
PRESBYTERY: OF WILMINGTON.—The
- stated meeting of this,body was held in
*Middletown,,Del„ on the 27th ult. We
shall probably .be furnished with a notice
of the leading items of business •trans
acted: In the meantime, we mention
the installation f sif Rev. John Patton,
D.D., aspastor of -the church in;Middle.
)town.. ,-.Rev. John W. Mears, ; they Mod
erator, presided, and propounded the
-constitutional questions ; Rev. William
Aikinanpreached the sermon ; Rev. D.
G. ltiallOrp delivered the charge to the
*pastor,•and 'Rev. G. F. Wiswell that to
the congregation. Arrangements were
Oleo wade for the ordination of Rev.
~Thomas M. Cann as an evangelist—the
_service to take place in Wilmington on
-.the 11th inst. ' •
We also ,notice as .'a decidedly inter
esting part of the business of , the Pres-
:•bytery;, the reception of the Elkton, Md.,
Church, together with its pastor, Re . v.
R.B. Matthews. The church was form
. (nip connected with this body, but some
time previous to «the rebellion, took up
its lot with a Southern Presbytery, thus
bringing itself under the -jurisdiction- of
the Southern United Synod, and after
wards the C. S. A. General Assembly.
It now resumes its former relation, as
we are informed, with, great satisfaction.
Mr. Matthews brought a letter from a
Virginia Presbytery, which was disre
garded by the Wilmington Presbytery.
He was received on evidence of loyalty
and ministerial standing.
The Delaware State il'ournal, speak- -
ing of the,- reception of the Elkton
' church, says
" It is a'very pleasant evidence of the pro
gress of events, and that honesty, manliness
and firmness toprinciple, are triumphant in
the end. The Presbytery has, on all °cos
along% shown itself, without hesitancy or res
ervation, loyal and anti-slavery, and through
these four years of war has'steadily increased
in numbers,,and efficiency ; numbering, two
more 'ministers and nearly three hundred
more church members than it did before the
-war began, although' it has lost in the mean
is (whiie a number by death and removal."
PRESBYTERY OP INDIANAPOLIS:—We

was 'atosen, Moderator. we notice,
among the matters of business, the divi
- Mon of the Presbytery of lowa City by
the formatjon of the new Presbytery of
Cedai Rapids, and the merging of. the
Presbytery of Cedar Valley in the Pres
hytery of Dubuque. The subject of tem
perance secured attention. Renewed ef
fort' for' its revival by sermons, lectures,
and pledged organizations, was strongly
urged, ,Moddications of the Assembly's
system of disbur . sing the Church Erec
,- tion Fund, by ,discontinuing the, making
of loans, giving in their place real doza
bons, were recommended. The decease
of four members, Rev. Messrs. W. W.
Woods, C. I. Clark, L. H. Loss, and
Moses Robinson, was appropriately no
ticed. Our Home Missionary Secretary,
Dr. Kendall, was present, and contributed
much interest to the discussions respect
ing Home Missions, a subject of vital in
terest on that field. The Synod, by res
olution, expressed its cordial pleasure in
Dr. Kendall's visit, and its approbation of
the measures of the committee as impar
tial, wise, and sympathizing. The Nar
rative of the State of Religion speaks
hopefully of progress in both the tempo
ral and spiritual condition of the churches,
and the need of' increased zeal and faith
fulness.
• UNION THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY.--Th e
accessions sinee the opening of the term
swell the number of students now in at
tendance to one hundred and twenty
five. We believe that there has been
an increased .in all our Seminaries—a
state of things peculiarly desirable when
so immense an evangelizing work is
opening before the church.
INSTALLATION.—The Presbytery of
Salem, during its late stated meeting in
Bloomington, Ind., installed Rev. John
M. Bishop as pastor of the Second Pres
byterian church in that place The ser
mon was prerched by Rev. C. Hutchi
son. The charges were given by Rev.
Messrs. livin I St. John and Thomas
A. Steele.
ENLARGEMENT IN MIOHIGAN.—At the
meeting of the Presbytery of Saginaw,
September 12 rand 13, a committee was
appointed, at the request of the-people of
Linden, to organize a church there. Two
new churches were received into the
Presbytery, one at Wenona (Bangor),
Bay County, and the othdr at Carrolton,
Saginaw County, both the result of the
missionary labors of the Revs D. B.
Campbell and M. Crelston, who are doing
a very useful work along the Saginaw
river, and meeting with mach encour
agement. At Wenona a year ago there
were but four dwellings ; now there are
seventy, showing Ito* rapid is the devel
opment of these settlements. At this
place,.the work of building a church edi
fice is going on; to be completed the pre
sent season. The prospect of building
one at Salina is also good: Rev. Calvin
'Mark, Synodical. Missionary - , gave an ac
'count of his explorations in Gratiot, Isa
bellai and , other narthern.counties, where
promising fields for religions effort are
opening on every hand. : ••
FOURTH CIIITTROH, ALBANY, N. Y.—'
We remember' the'ushering of this enter

its first pastor—a post now filled by . Dr.

PRESBYTERY OF EGYPT—Not Southern Il
linois, but the old Egypt of the Bible. , The
United Presbyterian Church of this country
have made Egypt their principal missionary
field; and have done the very right thing in
securing a regular Presbyterial • organization
on the ground. The 'Presbytery .ofr Egypt
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, TH tIRSDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1865.
held its semi-annual meeting in Alexandria,
on the 15th and 16th of last August. An
earnest call was made on the Board of the
Church for a medical missionary for the Osi
out station. The resolution was prefaced by
a preamble stating that there is not a trained
physician m the whole province of Osiout,
and the mission family and native agents
have already suffered severely on that ac
count, and also that it is evident to us all
that were a medical missionary from America
to take up his quarters in the town of Osiout,
not only would patients flock thither from the
province, but the whole of Upper Egypt
would be opened up to missionary enterprise
in a more effectual manner than can be hoped
for in any other way.
We copy another item of business, as illus
trative of the wide openings in that field :
" Whereas, For, several years we have
been called 'upon to labor more or less among
the Armenians, and several of our church
members are Armenians, all of whom under
stand the Turkish language : and
"Whereas, There has lately been a serious
difficulty in the Armenian sect in Cairo, aris
ing from the tyranny and persecutions f the
Hierarchy, and resulting in the secession of
some forty families from that sect, which per
sons have declared their intention of becom-
Protestanta, and . have for the past month at
tended our Sabbath services : and
" Whereas, There are other encouraging
indications of the opening of the Turkish
field : therefore,
"Resolved,.lst. That any of the members
of Presbytery who may be able to spare time
from their other duties be recommended to
study the Turkish language, in order to be
prepared to occupy the field which is thus
opening before us.
Resolved, 2d. That in view of the pre
sent emergency in- Cairo, brother Lansing be
requested for the present to devote himself to
the study .of the Turkish language, and that
for this purpose he be relieved as far a§ pos
sible from other mission duties."
