E VANGEL/OAL MOVEMENTS IN B UFFALO.
—The First and Lafayette Street Pres
byterian churches in Buffalo, are each
pushing in the direction of the masses,
by erecting chapels for the accommoda
tion of mission schoolA.
BLOOMINGTON, ILL.—The First Pres
byterian Church in this place has called
to the pastorate, Rev. J. McLean, who
has dignified his acceptance of the call,
and entered upon his labors there, with
very encouraging prospects of usefulness
and success. Bloomington has a fine
location in one of the best portions of
Illinois, and is rapidly increasing in
population and wealth.
DEATH ON A MINISTER — We have, at
various times noticed the labors of Rev.
WILLIAM WISNER MARTIN, who wear, to
California young and newly married,
under the auspices of oar Home Mission
ary Committee, in 1863, and who, after
an over effort to hold the field against
disease, finally yielded to its advances, l
and returned to the east, arriving in
New York on the 25th of August. We
have now to record the sad, but not un
exlected intelligence of his death, which
took place in Brooklyn a few days since.
Mr. Martin brought to the ministry high
literary and theological attainments, ac
quired at Yale College and Union and
Andover Seminaries, unaffected piety,
earnest zeal and general aptness for the
work of the ministry. He was, at the
time of his death, pastor elect of our
church in San Jose. His health finally
broke down the day previous to that ap
pointed for his installation.
INSTALLATION.—OR the 10th ult. the
installation of Rev. D. G. Mallory took
place at Beverly, N. J. Rev. Charles
Boyter presided ; Rev. W. T. Eva
preached the sermon ; Rev. T. J. Shep
herd, D.D., gave the charge to the pas
tor, and the Rev., Robert Adair the
charge to the people. It was an occa
sion of exceeding interest. The elo
quent and instructive sermon on "preach
ing Christ crucified," the solemn and
earnest charge to the pastor, and the
practical and scriptural charge to the
people, made a deep impression and will
be long remembered. Ministers and
members of the other churches in town
were present, and joined with the con
gregation in welcoming the pastor.
The prospects before the new pastor
are very encouraging. Entire harmony
prevails in the Church, and there are
hopeful signs of religious interest. Al
ready, at the first communion under the
new pastorate, there have been three
additions one by letter, and two on pro
fession. The two latter, are the first on
profession of faith which have been ad
ded for several years. The baptism of
three children from one family at the
same time, gave additional interest to
this communion Sabbath.
SYNOD OF SUSQUETIANNA.—The Nar
rative made out at the recent meeting of
this Synod, held in Franklin, Delaware
co., N. Y., says : "The state of piety
in the churches, as appears from the re
ports given by the elders and pastors,
has been low, far too low ; yet there
seems to be a hopeful tone in the state
ments made by the brethren. In many
of the churches a small number is re
ported to have been added during the
year. In a few of the churches revivals
are reported, as in Oxford, Deposit, Head
of Delaware, Cooperstown, and one or
two others of less extent. In one or.
two churches there is at present some
degree of interest, as in' Coventry Se
cond, which we hope will prove bat the
beginning of a great work of grace
among our churches." The Narrative
further' says :—"Among the many hin
drances which stand in the way of the
Gospel in our midst, we may notice those
of intemperance and Sabbath desecra
tion as the two most to be feared. The
cause of temperance in some portions of
our bounds seems to be looking up, and
ministers and people are rising in their
strength to meet this giant evil. Much
needs to be done in this cause, a deeper
interest taken in it by us all if we would
see it triumph among us. We that• are
ministers need to preach on it, and the
officers and members of the churches
need to take stronger ground in regard
to it, before we can expect to see it
prevail."
SYNOD OF NEW YORK AND NEW JER
SEY.—This body assembled on the 17th
nit. in the First Church in Orange, N.
J. The opening sermon was preached
by Rev. Dr. Adams. of New York. Rev.
Howard Crosby, D.D. was chosen Mod
erator. Among the items of business a
resolution was adopted ",recommending
to all the churches under the care of
Synod throughout the country, as well
as the cities and the larger towns, to
consider well the obligations resting upon
their entire membership—the laity as
well as the ministry—to be active in
carrying the Gospel, by personal invita
tion, to all those within their reach who
habitually neglect Christian ordinances,
thus endeavoring to diffuse the savor of
Christ's name in every place."
The subject of unemployed ministers
received attention, and brought out a
resolution directing the Presbyteries of
Synod " to institute inquiry of all their
members not in the exercise of the func
tions of the ministry, whether their rea
sons for • not prosecuting the work to
which they were ordained in the Lord
are sufficient, and make record of the
same in their minutes."
The several benevolent causes entrust
ed to our Church Committee were taken
up and .advocated, and measures were
taken to bring the .membership at large
into closer and more available sympathy
with them. An interesting sacramental
communion was held on the second day
of the Sessions. The temperance cause
was efficiently urged by Rev. T. L. Cuy
ler and others, and the claims of the
American Missionary Association urged
by H. G. Ludlow. Interesting devo
tional exercises were interspersed through
the Sessions
SYNOD OF ALBANY.—The Evangelist's
account of the meeting of this Synod,
held week before last in Schaghticoke,
N. Y., states that the narratives of the
Presbyteries showed the churches to be
in a h6altby and progressive state; and
in a few, extensive revivals have been
enjoyed. An interested regard for the
development of our own church, and a
preference for its chosen plans of opera
tion, seem manifestly to be on the in
crease. The sessions were throughout
spirited and devotional, and apparently
left a happy impression upon the mem
bers of Synod, and the congregation
which entertained them.
SYNOD OF OHIO.—We have before re
corded some items in the proceedings of
this Synod, at its meeting in Portsmouth,
Ohio. We quote from the . Narrative as
follows :—"All of the reports indicate a
steady and faithful progress in the great
work of salvation within our bounds.
We have not the data from which we
can tell just how many have been con
verted, and what real additions have
been made to the church, how much
has been expended in time and money,
and what has been the measure of influ
ence for good felt; yet quite a number
of revivals have been reported ; the most
powerful of these were in the churches
of Portsmouth, Ironton, Coshocton and
Little Mill Creek. There have been ad
ditions, more or less, in nearly all the
churches; and we believe that the influ
ence of our church from year to year, is
a growing influence; and that we are
accomplishing an amount of good which
eternity alone will fully reveal."
SYNOD OF
,CINCINNATI.—The annual
meeting of this body was held in Cin
cinnati, commencing on Thursday of
week before last, and continuing through
the Monday following. Rev. Joseph
Chester was chosen Moderator. The
Synod, in view of the increasing neces-'
sity for evangelizing efforts among Ger
man emigrants, adopted the • First Ger
man Reformed Church Of Cincinnati as
its beneficiary, and recommended it to
the churches for aid. Action was taken
in behalf of the Christian Herald, the
long established and able organ of our
Church in that region. A resolution was
adopted recognizing .the great usefulness
of Young Men's Christian Associations ;
also; a resolution of Christian sympathy
with the Synod of East Tennessee. Re
solutions were adopted on the state of
the country, giving thanks for " the over
throw of rebellion, the prevalence of
righteous peace, the dawn of universal
freedom and equal rights .on this conti
nent;" exulting in the fortitude and con
stancy of the nation during the war, re
cognising the judgments of God for sla
very, and the voice of his providence as
declaring that absolute justice and equal
rights of citizenship and suffrage for all
men can alone secure the Divine favor,
and the permanence of our national ex
istence; calling upon all Christian men
to rebuke any disposition in the north
or the south to continue the oppression
of this people whom God has set free ;
and finally calling upon the Church to
enter the newly opened field, and lay
the foundation for Christian reconstruc
tion and national evangelization.
Eernest action was taken on the sub
ject of intemperance. Ministers and
Churches were called upon for a firm ad
herence to , the principle and example of
total abstinence. Ministers were urged
to preach upon the subject. The lines
drawn between the milder and stronger
intoxicating drinks, were declared falla
cious and deceitful.
By aqast year's intentional arrange
ment, the Old School Synod of Cincin
nati were in session in the same city,
and at the same time. Hence, as was
expected, a lively and happy fraternal
intercourse was kept up between the two
bodies. Rev. Dr. T. E. Thomas and Ru
ling Elder Judge Leavitt appeared as
delegates from " the other branch," as
bearers of their fraternal regards. Dr.
Thomas,
_in- his address said we ought to
be one, not merely in spirit, but denomi
nationally, because,
Ist. It was sin that severed us ;
2d. Our Saviour's wish and prayer
was " that they all may be one ;"
:1 1 Our enemies are united.
e dwelt upon each of these points.
Upon the latter, he said I remem
ber this city forty years ago. There
was in it then the old First Presbyterian
Church, commonly called the two
horned church,' the Second Church, a
Methodist Church, at Brimstone cor
ner,' and a small Baptist Church.
Romanism was not yet planted here.
What now? Twenty or twenty-two
Roman Catholic spires glitter in'the sun,
while that fragment of the Presbyterian
Church, to which I belong, meets in a
cellar to wrangle over same technicality
--and this is the result of forty years !
Our enemies are active and indefatiga
ble ; is this a time to be divided ? Have
not Lyman Beecher and Joshua L. Wil
son shaken hands in heaven ? And
should we not anticipate here what we
expect to do there ? Two martyrs were
once bound to the same stake, but
though both we dying for Christ, because
they differed on some theological dogma,
they would, not shake hands with each
otter. We are doing a • little better
than they. We have gone far enough
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1865
toward a reconciliation to say, Brother,
do you burn agreeably,' and you reply,
' Fellow martyr, I sympathise with you.'
But we ought to be one not only in
sympathy, but in organization."
The response of the Moderator was
happy and cordial, fully assenting to the
sentiments uttered by the delegates. A
union prayer-meeting of the Synods was
held in Dr. Burt's (0. S.) Church on
Saturday evening; and both bodies met:
on Sabbath afternoon in the Second
Church (N. S.), and togather partook-of
the Sacrament Supper at the hands of
Drs. Pratt and Steel—one from each
Synod.
SYNOD OF INDIANA.—We have before
noticed the meeting of this Synod. The
Narrative of the State of Religion is
now before us. From it we learn that
a number of precious revivals of religion
are reported. Salem Presbytery reports
special works of grace in the churches
at Seymour and Mitchell, and accessions
to all its churches save one. Green
castle Presbytery reports revivals in
Rockville, Greencastle, and Putnamville.
In Madison Presbytery, Columbus, and
Aurora have been especially blessed.
Indianapolis Presbytery speaks of an
encouraging degree of interest in a num
ber of its churches. The Narrative is
cheering in other respects, particularly
so with respect to temperance. Interest
in this cause is reviving, and much is
doing to arrest the accursed traffic.
POPISH EXACTIONS.—Popery, as a
helper to power, has its price. The
following resolution, no counterpart to
which in relation to any Protestant In
dustrial School, we venture to say, can be
found, has been introduced into the New
York City Councils, and will of course
•
go through :
Resolved, That the sum of two. thousand
dollars be and the same is hereby donated to
the Industrial School situated in Forty-second
street, between Eighth and Ninth Avenues,
and the Comptroller be and he -is hereby
authorized and directed to draw his warrant
in favor of Sister Helena for the above-named
sum, and charge the same to account of
" Donation& " •
We rather like this. The quickest
way to wake up the public to an . intoler
able imposition, is to lay it on right
heavily.
REV.. DR. EELLS, of the Reformed Dutch
Church on the Heights, Brooklyn, has re
ceived two calls from Michigan to go back to
the Presbyterians—one from a church in
Detroit, the other from Ann Arbor.
'firtiginz kittf Myna.
PRESBYTERIAN
SYNOD OF NEW YORK, 0. S.—The nar
rative made out at the late meeting of this
body in Peekskill, N. Y., says :—" But that
which above all else is suited to cheer and
encourage the hearts of God's servants, is,
that in many, if not in most of our churches,
there have beon tokens of the presence and
effectual working of His good Spirit in the
awakening andlooeful conversion of sinners.
Although these gracious operations have not
'in any instance been very extensive, yet are
they such as to claim our faithful acknow
ledgment : and to awaken the lively hope,
that the day of greater things may not be far
off."
Sr op OF WHEELING. —Thespiritual tone
pervading the late sessions of this Synod,
culminated in the following proposals, pre
faced by a preamble expressive of the chief
need of the hour—the refreshing from on
high:—
" Impressed with these views, the Synod
takes the following action
"This Synod most cordially answer the
friendly greeting of our sister Synod of
Allegheny, and declare our - willingness to co
operate with them in all proper measures
for the revival of religion. Accordingly, the
Synod make to the .Presbyteries composing
it, and to the churChes under their care the
following recommendations :
" 1. That at some convenient time prior to
the first of November, each Pastor or Supply
within our bounds shall convene his Session,
Board of Deacons, and leading pious mem
bers of his church, for conference and prayer
on this great subject.
"2. That on the Sabbath preceding the
first Tuesday of November ensuing, all our
ministers be recommended to preach on the
importance and necessity of a revival of re
ligion. •
3. That on or about the first Tuesday of
November, the several Presbyteries com
posing this Synod are recommended to hold
conventions, each at some : citable point with
in its bounds, for conference and prayer with
a view to the reviving of the churches, and
to take such action as to them may seem best
for the accomplishment of this desirable
end."
The remaining items of this paper relate
to the details of arrangements. The editor
of the Presbyterian Banner says of the meet
ing :—" Seldom, indeed, has it been our
privilege to be present at the meeting of any
judicatory of our Church, whose members
seemed to be so largely under the influence
of a fraternal spirit, so impressed with a sense
of the importance of renewed consecration to
the service of the Master, and so united in
earnest and heartfelt supplications that the
great Head of the Church would acknow
ledge and bless his own appointed means of
grace. An ardent desire for the outpouring
of the Spirit was coupild with a believing
expectation that its gracious influences would
not be withheld."
FRATERNAL INTEROOIIRSE.—The Presby
teries of New Lisbon, 0. S., and Trumbull,
N. S., hold a joint meeting in Youngstown,
Ohio, on the 7th instant, " to promote frater
nal intercourse, Christian union, and effici
ency in these bodies and the branches of the
church represented."
ITEms.—Rev. Dr. Krebs, of New York,
has. just returned from Europe in improved
health. He had a stormy and somewhat
perilous passage.—Mr. E. G. Read, a re
cent graduate of Princeton, N. J., was, on
the 11th ult., ordained and installed over the
Presbyterian Church in Madison, Wis.—
The new edifice for the Presbyterian Church
at Kennett Square, Chester county, Pa., was
dedicated on the 31st ult. This church is a
new and promising enterprise, occupying a
portion of Chester county, which has hitherto
been almost wholly under the influence of the
Hicksite and Progressive . Friends,—Rev.
Charles W. Shields, D. D. late pastor of the
Second Presbyterian Church in this city, has
been solicited to fill a new Professorship of
Natural and Revealed Religion, in Princeton
College. He has also been nominated by the
Synod of Philadelphia for a similar appoint
ment in Lafayette College.—A new Pres
byterian Church is this day to be dedicated,
near Somers' Point, Atlantic co., N. J.—
Dr. Burnett, a daughter of Rev. Dr. Dales,
of this city, and teveral other missionaries of
the United Presbyterian Church, sailed from
New York on the 21st ult., to join the work
of that church in Egypt.—Tipenty-three
persons were added to the Ist Un. Pres.
church in this city, on profession of their
faith, Oct. 15.
CONGREGATIONAL
WORK IN UTAit—Rev. Norman McLeod
haS been laboring in Great Salt Lake City
and other places in this semi-heathen terri
tory, for some months past. Of his labors,
Judge Titus writes to The Pacific: "He has
established a Congregational Church, a flour
ishin Sunday-school, and other inseparable
incidents of a permanent religious foundation
in this city; he has rallied a constant and at
tentWe audience, and founded a Sunday
school at Camp Douglas, three and a half
miles from this city ; and has also established
another Sunday-school in Stockton, forty
miles from this city, in Rush V?lley. In ad
dition to all this, an ample lot has been secured
in an!eligible situation for a church in this
city. '.Two sermons are regularly preached by
Mr. cLeod to the church in Great Salt Lake
City, and one at Camp Douglas, each Sab
bath. By his able and candid' presentation
of t e great religious truths, without unchar
itable denunciation and unkind criticism, Mr.
McLeod has secured the entire esteem and
confidence, not only of his own congregation,
and those who sympathize with it, but also,
the serious and favorable attention of many
belonging to the sensitive and exclusive sys
tem amid which he has thus successfully be
gun the great work of religious reform. In
deed the evidence accumulates here, that
with reasonable assistance from the friends of
religious reform abroad, religious truth, as
presented by Mr. McLeod, will, at no distant
day, pervade this city and territory, in all
their parts and places."
WASHINGTON CITY.—The Congregational
Church here called a Council of about six
teen churches to meet on the 15th of Novem
ber to organize the new church. Fifty-six
persons gave in their names for membership
the first night, and about twelve more have
since been added. The church will start
with nearly eighty members and every seat
occupied. A Calvinistic creed has been
adopted, and thus far all is harmony and
growing strength.— Cor. Boston Recorder.
ITEMS;—Rev. D. B. Gray is about vacating
the pastorate of the Congregational Church
in Albany, Oregon.—A new Congregational
Church of seventeen members,• has been or
ganized) in Stockton, Cal.- 7 ---The North
Church, Springfield, Mass., has sent off a
colony to form a "Memorial " church in that
city.—Hartford, Conn., is likely to lose
one of its most popular pastors, Rev. Mr.
Burton. He has calls from San Francisco
and New York, one of which it is supposed,
he will accept. —We see it stated that Rev.
Silas Ketchum has found it advisable to re
sign his pasterate in Wardsboro, on account
of disaffection created by his having joined
the .Masonic fraternity.
EPISCOPAL
THE lIREENNIAL CONVENTION.—This body
closed its sessions on Tuesday of last week,
after seventeen days of laborious work. Four
Missionary Bishops were elected : Rev. Chan
!ling ill ore Williams, of the China Mission,
for China and Japan ; Rev. Robt. H. Clark
son, D. ID., of Chicago, for Nebraska and
parts adjacent; Rev. M. A. DeW. Howe, D.
D., of this city, for Nevada and parts adja
cent, and Rev. George M. Randall, D. D., of
Massachusetts, for Colorado and parts adja
cent.. The scheme of breaking up the church
into provinces, (Archbishoprics,) failed, so
that, as heretofore, nothing will stand between
the General Convention of the whole church
in the U. S. and the Dioceses.
Just previous to their adjournment. the
following paper, signed by Bishops Mcll
vaine, Lee, of Delaware, Eastburn, Burgess,
Lee of lowa, Bedell and Vail, was read in
the House of Bishops :
"In the decision of the House of Bishops
with reference to the day of Thanksgiving far
the restoration of peace and to other impor
tant subjects, the ground has been taken,
that, for the sake of more complete concilia
tion, no sentiment should be expressed by
this House, or this Convention, or this Church
in any collective capacity, on subjects of such
importance and so dear to all of us as the re
establishment of the. National Union and the
emancipation of the slaves.
"The. House of Bishops unquestionably
loved their .country, and its unity, and they
could not approve the system of human bond
age; but they will seem to have adopted as
the position to be henceforth occupied by
this church, one which is consistent.with in
difference to the safety and unity of the na
tion and to the freedom of the oppressed.
"'his is a position which, as the under-.
signed believe, should not be maintained by
any branch of the Christian Church in the
United States, whether in the present or any
future generation. To signify that it was
not accepted by all on this occasion, and that
those who did not accept it believed it to have
been accepted at all, only because an extreme
desire for conciliation and unanimity prevailed
for the hour, the undersigned have prepared
this document, with perfect and cordial re
spect for their brethren, but under the con
sciousness of a great duty to the inseparable
interests of their beloved church and country.'

DEATHS,
OBITUARY.
Killed in Washington. October 10, by accidental
discharge of a gun in the hands of a comrade, PRANK
J. P. CONGDON, of the 214th Pennsylvania Volun
teers. son of Nicholas S. Congdon, of Trenton, aged 18
yews.
By tbis melancholy event a widowed mother was
he-eared of her only child, for whose return she was
looking almost hourly, and preparing with that ten
der care which only a mother and a widow can be
stow upon the darling of her heart. Frank was the
younoest in his regiment and was known asthe "little
man" of the regiment, being distinguished for every
soldierly quality, and pronounced by an officer the
best soldier in it. It is truly comforting to make such
a record for one who died in the service of his coun
try; but a higher than human comfort is needed to
fill the place of the 'only sou of his mother and she a
widow."

I have known the Illustrated Domestic Bible for
some time. The Edit or has rendered an eminent ser
vice to the Church of God by thelearning and wisdom
which he has diplayed in preparing this condensed
and really useful commentary on the Word of God.
In terseness and comprehensive style, be resembles
the venerable Brown, of liaddington, while in 'rich
experimental matter, he displays a thorough evangel
ical spirit. His illustrations are numerous and admi
rable in their character. Instead of being mere im
aginary, groups of persons, or supposed representation
of events, they are views of places, houses, and im
portant localities; or pictures of actual trees, animals,
implements, and objects of oriental character, and
hence they materially aid the nntravelled reader in
understanding the phraseology of the 'leered Text.
The chronological order, other tables, and the literary
matter compiled from modern sources of research of
this edition have enriched it abundantly, and the pur
chaser will have an elegant volume for a sum much
less than he would be obliged to pay for a Bible if
procured by the protracted process of monthly num
bers to be afterwards bound.

PEBYTEIIIIII PIIIILICYIIOII COMMIE
HYMN AND TUNE ROOK:
PRAYER-ATIKETIND, FAXLLY CIRCLE,
THE " SOCIAL HYMN AND TUNE BOOK" is an
endeavor to give, in a volume of moderate size, the
best hymns and the best tunes.
The Tunes, carefully selected and carefully adapted
to the hymns, are fitted, it is believed, both to express
the sentiments of sacred song and to kindle, in pious
hearts, the flame of devotion. They are old tunes
chiefly, with such approved new ones as the Church
will not let die.
The Tenor and Bass have been given on separate
staves, at some expense of space and cost; but to
many singers this arrangement will prove helpful and
acceptable.
While the collection is primarily designedfor social
worship, it is well suited to the use of the family and
congregation.
The Neto York, Observer says:—" It appears to us to
be admirably adapted to its purpose. . . . Many
first-rate tunes, arranged and printed so as to be
easily used. Itwillbe &most acceptablebook in fam
ilies, mission churches, and, if our taste was the rule,
it would be used in Sabbath-schooLi."
-The Evangelist says :—"The Publication Committee
of our Church have just issued a volume which we ap
prehend is destined to become highly popular among
our churches. It is entitled, ' Social Hymn and Tune
Book,' and is designed for the lecture-room, prayer
meeting, family-circle, and mission church. It is one
of the neatest and most tasteful volumes of the kind,
which we have ever met with. Although a l6mo of
512 pages, it is by no means bulky, while the print is
clear and distinct, and sufficiently large for common
use. Most of the hymns are from the Church Psalm-.
ist, and by means of the index. with its references,
every hymn can be identified in the two books. The
tunes and hymns are arranged throughout the vol
ume on alternate pages, so as to snit the convenience
of a promiscucius congregation, and enable them to
join intelligently in their songs of praise."
The American Preetryterian says:—" This Hymn
Book is really charming in its propriety and good
taste as an article of manufacture. . . . In the-
Hymns given, we find those that are loved in the
churches. .. We hail with satisfaction a book so•
well selected and so well arranged."
