PRESBYTERIAN.
THE FIRST FRuirs.—We have before no
ticed the wonderful revivals in some of the
rural districts of Southeastern Pennsylvania.
The last Presbpterian has the account of the
communion Sabbath, Bth inst., in Rev. Mr.
Uinsted's church at Fagg's Manor. One
hundred and fifty- , :even new communicants
came to the table. It was a season of indes
.cribably tender interest. The account adds :
" The work has not ended ; many others, not
yet received, are deeply exercised about their
tours salvation. Persons have been operated
upon in the community who have not attend
ed our meetings. The Spirit of God seemed,
and still seems to be, diffused through the
atmosphere. The ,judgment day only . will
reveal the number brought under the
ence of this great awakening. In several
other churches the good work is going on,
and we are ( looking for a great outpouring
within our bounds. May we not expect the
windows of heaven to be opened over this
whole land ?"
The same paper has a note from Rev. Mr.
Rittenhouse, of the Middle Oetorara Church,
which speaks of an accession:of eighty-six on
profession, on the preceding Sabbath. The
writer says :—" The history 'of this revival is
briefly this—We laid hold upon God's prom
ises ; we asked and We received ; we sought
and we found. 'The Lord has been faith
ful to his promise, and to his name be all "the
glory."
MORE OF THE PREVALENT TONE.—In the
account of the late meeting of the Central
Presbytery of Philadelphia, (0. S.) we find
the following :—° According to usual order,
a free conversation on the state of religion
was held, which proved to be one of marked
interest and importance. Encouraging re
ports were made by many of the pastors of
increased attendance upon, , and attention to
the means of grace, and in some instances of
large'additions to the communion of the
church; but still the conviction generally ob
tained, that a revival of -religion is' greatly
needed,,and should be earnestly sought.:' :4.

nearly one-half of the entire session of the
Presbytery, manifests the interest felt there=

on the following - Staturday, - aged , sixtylnine
years. Dr. Wayland -was - born in'New York
in 1796. After - graduating at Cbllege
in 1813, he studied - 'fnedicitie; was
licensed as a phyaician: — lleitinejliiried the
Baptist Church, he pursued a course of
theological studies at Andover ' and 'after

AN ITEM WITH ITS MORAL. —A correspond;
ent of the Chicago Christian limes and Wit:
ness,
reports the reception , by the Mattoon
Baptist Association of the newly organized
Wabash Point Church, and then adds
This churoh was separated during the year
from Mattoon,; leaving the mother church
with almost no financial ability at all. The
strong arm is cut off. Thus Mattoon, a place
of 3000 or 4000 people, like almost every
other important town in Southern Illinois, is
doomed to be deprived of Baptist influence
and effort, by the short-sighted polio? . of Bap;
tists themselves. Very many of the most
Emiaylks. in thh re rsgt .tcAm., u g z s v
three or five miles of them, and in the town,
itself nothing, or at most a little starveling
church, or a few members without• courage
sufficient to organize. IE these would consent
to work together, there v ould be many strong
and efficient churches in a region of country
comprising thirty-six counties, all south of I ,
the Terre Haute and Alton Railroad, where
now there is not more than one Baptist
Church that is really sustaining a pastor. This
State of things is very much to be deplored.
We heard an intelligent Baptist minister, who
has been fifteen years on this -field, say that
he only knew of four Baptist pastors in these
thirty-six counties who were aiming to give
their whole time to the ministry, and who
live by ministerial labor..

LUTHERANISM IN CANADA.—The Canada
Synod of the Lutheran Church met' last
month in Heidelberg, ;Waterloo Co, C.. W.
It was found that the churches generally are
growing in numbers, in activity and liberali
ty. A number of charges have not wily be
cecome self sustaining, but some of them are
nobly contributing to sustain the various be
novolent operations of the church. Home
Missions claim their particular attentiori, and

count of a Society for the Emancipation of
the Clergy, which has sprung - up in Italy
under the lead of Father Frota, an old monk
intelligent and courageous, and which already
numbers among, its members more than a
thousand ecclesiastics. Its leading principles
are:—
- -
Ist. The Pope is to be the primate of the
Universal Church, and will assemble,, as soon
as possible , a general council, for the purpose
of modifying and regulating matters of faith
and discipline. 2d. The metroPOlitans, iirCh
bisliOps, and bishop's shall_ resume possession
of their ancient rights, of whioh they have
been; deprived,since the.pontificate of Gregory:

the people, will take part freely in the election
of curates; bishops, and even of the Tope.
4th:'Religious Worship ,will be conducted in
the various national languages ; the Bible ,
will be circulated freely, and will be put In-the,
hands of all. sth. Auricular confession shall
be no longer obligatory ; each member of the.
Church shall do, in this respect, as he judges'
best, and the sacerdotal jurisdiction shall be

and he means heartily and cheerfully to keep
it.—The Church Intelligencer, of the 28th
ult., says :—"A telegram to us, from Bishop
Elliott, announces that the House of South
ern Bishops will not meet in Augusta, as
heretofore published. The difficulty and ex
pense of traveling, we presume, are the
chief causes."
LUTHERAN
CHURCH EXTENSION. —A Lutheran Church
enterprise for both German and English
preaching, has been inaugurated in West

The corner-stone of a large church edifice,
with fine architectural plans, was laid on the

with in the sale of copies of the word of God.
The books were everywhere bought with the

DEA.TH OF RiV. ROBERT YOUNG.—We
have some readers who, will recollect that the
particular occasion of the disruption of the
church of- Scbtland, in 1843, and the forma
den of a 'protesting free church under the
head of Dr. Chalmers, and other leading
Presbyterians., was the enforcement by the
civil authority of an order upon the 'Strath
bogie Presbytery to instal Rev. Robert Young
'over the Auchterarder parish. The Presby
tery. of itiown free will, would have denied
him an installation. The case was carried
through. all 'the courts, and finally decided in
the House of Lords, under whose compulsion
the, installation took place. Mr. Young re

RELIGIOUS EQUALITY IN CHILL —By the
latest arrival, it appears that the "Bill of
Interpretation," as ibis called, which estab
lishes the most liberal construction of- the
Constitution in 'favor of religious freeilom,
has passed buth houses of the Chilian Con
gress. So that now it is said that "Free wor
ship, which has existed in fact in some of the
towns of Chili, more especially in Valparaiso,
will have acqriired the legal sanction which
it lacked; and edifices of all denominations
may be put up and protected by law. No
meter proof of the advancement of Chili in
civilization and knowledge exists than the
attitude which the majority of het, people
have assumed in this •important Aestion;
and it is to be hoped that the good example
she has set will be followed by her sister re
publics of South America."
UNION OF ENGLISH, GREEK AND ROMAN
CATHOLIC CHURCHES.—The London Patriot
Of , the 14th Ult., says:—On Thursday even
irk the first of a series of services was held
in the church of St. Mary Magdalen, Mun
ster,i
. square, n connection with a movement,
whieh seems to have received much support,
amongst the, members of the Church of Eng
land. So• much attention, indeed, has the
setierne commanded, that during to-day and
Sunday there will be Celebrations of the Holy
CommL,niOn in connection with it in nearly
300 churches in England. At the services
-last night; the Rev. F. G. Lee, M. A., for
merly of St. Edmund Hall, Oxford, was - the
preacher. An address has been issued ad
dressed to all " who, while they lament the
divigons amongst Christians, look forward
for their healing mainly to a corporate re
union of those three great bodies which claim
for themselves the inheritance of the priest
hood and the name of Catholic."
ENGLISH, ROMISEI, AND GREEK UNION.-
A singular religious movement was begun in
England a few weeks ago. It is pro Posed to
unite the members of the English, Roman
Catholic and Greek ChurchN in friendly
communion, and the public joArnals report
that three hundred churches in England have
assented to the measure. From a statement
made by Rev. F. G. Hall, formerly of St.
Edmund Hall, Oxford, we gather the follow
ing indications of the character and purpose
of this movement :
"An institution has been formed under
the title of The Association for the Promo
tioti of the Unity of Christendom,' to unite
in a bond of intercessory prayer members
both of the clergy and laity of the Roman
Catholic, Greek and Anglican communions.
`To all,' it is said,who, while they lament
the divisions amongst Christians, look for
ward for their healing mainly to a corporate
re-union of those three great bodies which
claim for themselves the inheritance of the
priesthood and the naite of Catholic, an ap
peal is made. They are not asked to com
promise any principles which they, rightly or
wrongly, hold dear; they are simply asked to
unite for the promotion of a high and holy
end."
The names of members are to be kept
strictly private, and the only obligation im
