PRESBYTERIAN.
Presbytery of Maumee, 0. S.—The report
of the late meeting of this Ohio Presbytery
says :—" The free conversation on the state
of religion disclosed the fact that all of our
churches are in a prosperous condition, and
some of them the Lord has '`especially
blessed."
A Veteran Gone.—Mr. Robert C. Reid, a
resident of Ohio since 1800, died at his resi
dence near Xenia, Ohio, October 17. He
was one of the pillars in the old Scottish
Covenanter Church of Greene County, having
belonged to that denoMination for over fifty
years. " Agate," the Washington corres
pondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, is his only
surviving son
Continued Acoessions.—The work ofg.race
among the churches of the New Castle Pres
bytery continues, and the pleasant fruits
thereof are gathered in from time to time.
At a recent communion season, thirty-four
persons were added to the a church at New
London, Chester County, Pennsylvania, of
which the Rev. R. P. Dubois is pastor.—
Presbytt
Synod of Baltimore, 0. S.-=-The Narrative
speaks deploringly of tie absence of revivals,
abounding intemperance,. profanity, vice
generally, and the spirit of worldliness. It
is, however. enabled to say:—" It gives us the
greatest pleasure to learn that .the. churches
along the border, which the vicissitudes of war
had torn and scattered, not only give evi‘
dence of vitality, but are putting forth efforts
to heat the bieaeh'es and repair the desola
tions of Zion."
Recanting Backward.—Two years ago
the Presbytery of -New Orleans withdrew
from the C. S. A. General Assembly, and
took an independent position. Last month
it met and rescinded that action, and took - its
place once more with the Southern Assem
bly. Rev. J. IL Hollander, the man whom'
,the rebel officers, .while the, city was in
rebel hands, threatened "to lock up his
church and`burn him'in it," withdrew from
the PresbYtery, on the ground that " he could
not countenance a Southern organization." -
A Church Revived.—. Rev. Charles E.
Van Allen was, on - the 31st of October, or
dained and installed over the Presbyterian
(0. S.) church in Middle Smithfield, Pa. by
the Presbytery of. Newton. This church had
been for some years without a pastor, and
was in a depressed and unhappy condition.
In the settlement:of Mr. Van Allen, the
people,
.
as - if Moved by a common impulse,
laid aside their differences, rallied around
him, repainted and refitted their house of
worship, repaired its surroundings, have
raised an excellent choir, and procured a me
lodeonl and . best 0.4 . all,: find Iheirliamony,
zeal, and liberality already crowned - by the
special influence of the Holy Spirit. Some
oases of hopeful .conversion:have already
occurred, and strong hopes Of more are cher
ished.
Valuable Meetings.—Some of the Presby
teries in Western Pennsylvania are holding
Presbyterial Conventions—not meetings for
ecclesiastical business, but fordiscussion and
prayer,with special reference to the need of
the effusioßs of the Holy Spirit. The Baa
ner says of the Convention of the Presbytery
of Allegheny City, on thelst inst. :—" There
was much of a spirit of.humble and penitent
confession of shortcoming among the minis
ters and elders, and of earnest, importunate
supplication for the outpouring of the Holy
Spirit. At least one brother was.able to tell'
of' a band of praying wives and mothers in
his congregation_, and of another band of
young ladies who are accustomed to ' meet
every Sabbath evening, one hour before the
public services, to pray for themselves' and
their pastor. Resolutions were adopted re
commending to the several pastors to make
arrangements for holding protracted religious
services in their congregations, laboring to
`gether, two and - two, in the work, and at
such times as:they may judge most suitable.
The BAnner'aleb speaks of deep, prayerful,'
and hopeful interest, as the feature of similar
meetings in other Presbyteries.
Itema.—The First Presbyterian Church in
Indianapolis is about erecting a new church
edifice which will be • the largest and most
commodious in the West.—Rev. 0. H.
Hazard, late of Bordentown, was installed
over the Second Presbyteriap Church in New
Brunswick, New Jersey, October 26.—The
rebel Rev. Dr. ,Leyburn has been invited to
a pastorate in New Orleans. There is also
talk of gettin,g up a Presbyterian paper there,
to be under his editorial charge.—Rev. A.
Steed, of Shelby. County, Missouri, while suc
cessfully working two churches, has, during
the lest five months, carried on a colporteur
agency for the Presbyterian Board of Publi
cation, selling $5OO worth of its issues,.and
distributing gratuitously 15,000 pages of
Tracts.—The Associate Reformed Synod of
New York,'at its late meeting, resolved to•re
open its Theological Seminary at Newburgh,
New •York, and elected Rev, Drs. 'James
Harper, of.. New -York, and J. B. Dales, of
Philadelphia : as Professors.—Professor
J,avollus has returned from his European

„
— hr .
Reny s.— S' ixti en members w ere, added
to the, Congregational Church in IlimPstead,
N. ,H.;the first' Sabbath in. Novemberg-the
fruitsof the recent revival. A religious in
terest has existed in the Pinkerton Acedemy
at Derry for some weeks past, .and several
cdfitersions have taken place. •.
At the-meeting of thelirooklyn Confer
encei‘action was taken upon two important
subjech—the supply of men in' suffipient
numbers for the ministry, and the evpgeli
zation -of the Outlying population' in New
York and „vicinity.; vicinity. The Conference sanc
tioned the action taken by' the National
Council, with referenCe to lay preaching, and
regarded that as the way in which we are to
,f.cl-refief in the present exigencies of the
country. i
. Washington.—The new Congregational
Church at the , capital was ” recognized" by
an Ecclesiastical Council, on the 15th inst.,
Dr. J. P. Thompson, of New York, preach
ing the semon. A correspondent of the
Congregatiohnlisi Says :--" The urgent 'and
immediate necessity of this organization is a
permanent building. With A church edifice,
a large number of' pews could be instantly
rented, or at least ;I judge this to be the fact
1 ,
. 7 from what, I hear said upon the subject. As
ti it now is, numbersiot.Congregationalists at
'tend church in other places, not choosing to
2 el etach themselves from places where they
r , 'I. ave been accustomed to attend till they are
ure of accommodation• in the new church."
The Rhode Island Conference gave its
ttention to the following points, under the
• neral subject of Parochial Evangelization :--
" 1. The responsibility of every church for
) - evangelization of its distinctive parish, or
,-- ion of a parish. - •
"2. How may religious efforts in behalf of'
• ose in agricultural districts at present be
" .nd the reach of the ordinary means of
• e be conducted?
"3. How may the outlying classes of
! nufaoturing districts be . most effectually
$- ,Ited by the churehee ofChrist ?
,•\ 4. How may the population of our larger
,
. ns and cities, native and foreign, be evan
i,. •lized?"
THY, AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1865.
Right Topics for Ecclesiastical Neet
ings.—The Congregationalist's report of the
late meeting of the Andover, Mass., Confer
ence says :—" After a prayer-meeting of half
an hour, the morning was occupied with a
discussion, opened by Dr. Blanchard, of
Lowell, on the question, whether, and how far,
the 'Promise of the Comforter, recorded by
St. John, was intended for all believer, and
not only for the apostles ; or how much of the
promise is left over for us. A larger number
took part in the animated discussion that
had followed than had ever done so before
since the Conference was organized ; and what
was more gratifying, a much larger'.propor
tion of laymen. Utterance vas given - by
some to the conviction that we do not under
stand or appreciate all that is possible in
Christian experience, or in Christian labor
and success, through the gift of the Spirit;
and an expectation was, expressed, indeed it
was•perhaps the distinguished feature of the
meeting, and seemed a general expectation,
that we are soon to have a time of great
spiritual refreshing; that it is near, even at
the doors."
GERIIAN REFORMED.
Harrisbnig Mission Church.—A conk
nninion season was held in this Church on
the 29th ultimo, under very favorable circum
stances. The services were conducted in

Domestic Missions.—From the annual re
port of the Horne Mssionary Board of the G.
R. Church of this country, made to the Gen
eral Synod, it appears that there are now. fifty
missions under the care of the Board—an in
crease of seventeen during the year. Three
of those last year reported have become self
sustaining. Nineteen new stations have,
therefore been established by the Board
during the past twelve month—a practical
evidence of progress most cheering to aIL
The finances of the Board are repo rted in a

-- mPLIVICINnitt;" -
The Pennsylvania Coal Regions.At a
late meeting of the Schuylkill and Lehigh
Conventions, Rev. Mr. Getz read a re
port of his very interesting and successful
work at Mahoney City and Hazleton,at
both of which places churches have een
built during the few months of his missionary
service. Henceforward he is to concentrate
his labors in 'Mahoney City and parts ad
jacent, and another missionary will be ap
pointed to the other part of tht field. It is
the purpose of the Convention to increase
this missionary work in the mining districts,
and a committee of laymen was appointed to
procure subscriptions to a special fund for
that purpose. In the Susquehanna coal
region, the . corner-stone of a new church in
Shamokin was laid on the 7th inst: This is
the result of a missionary enterprise com
menced no further back than last spring. A
parish has been organized, and the field is
represented.as full of promise.
The Southern , Church.—Bishop Davis,
of the South Carolina Diocese has issued a
Pastoral oh the present and pnaspective re
lations of the diocese. He denies that the
orgapization;of a separate Sonthern Church
was a schism. He says :—" The Southern
Church is nciw rightly constituted, and is an
independent • and integral branch: of . the
Church 'Catholic. As Such, she can of right,
shape her own courie. — She is, alSo free, to
return to her union with the Churc h a the
North. Which shall she do ? This is the
griat r proposition. Hp urges that the ten
dencies of the , age are political and secular,
and its ruling powers are those of combina
tion. This, he says, securesdominion but
is d . angerous to truth. The territory o f the
Union is also too vast , for any one Church.
"Our Southern country< is limited, homoge
neous, and not given to speculations. Does
it not appear, then, that this is our surest
foundation for peace and truth? I declare
to you, brethren, my strong desire is, that,
under the mercy and guiding providence of
God, the Southern Church may be enabled
to maintain her present independent, posi
tion. This I will seek, and to this give my
best efforts."
Items.—The Convention of the now dio
cese of Western Pennsylvania has elected as
Bishop, Rev. J: B. Kerfoot, D.D., now Pre
sident of Trinity College.—The large and
costly edifice of 'St., George's. Church, New
York' (Rev. Dr. Tyng!s) was destroyed by
fire on the 14th inst. The loss is estimated
at $3OOOO, on:which there is an insurance
of s7s,ooo.—The consecration of Rev. Dr..
Clarkson, the newly elected Bishop of Ne
braska, took 'place •in St. James' Church,
Chicago,
.his late parish, on theelsth instant.
Six bishepiS and Morethan fifty clergymen_
of the Church were ' present.. —Bishop
Stevens recently in Lebanon, Pa., confirmed
nine persons, in connecti6n•with - Rev. Mr.
Abel's mission in Lebanon, Colebrook, and
Cornwall.
LUTHERAN.
Decreasing.—We had no idea that the
shadow= of the Lutheran Church was growing
less; yet such is the case, according to the sta
tistics of the Lutheran Almanac. The copy
for 1865 gives. the following, grand total :
Ministers; 1,543 1 ;" congregations4;76s ; com
municants, 292,723. The Almanac for 1866
gives: Ministers, 1,523; congregations, 2,632;
communicants, 286,273, or a decrease of 20
ministers, 133 congregations, and 6,450 com
municants.—Lutheran Observer.
A Pastorate Divided.—The charge con
taining the congregations of York Sulphur
Spings and Petersburg, in York County, Pa.,
has become so much strengthened as to allow
of the settlement of a separate minister for
each. Rev. P. Raby has resigned the old
charge, to accept a call from Middletown, Pa.
Church. Dedicated.—A new edifice for the
Lutheran Mission in Millerstown,.Perry Co.,
Pa.; was dedicated on the sth ult. Rev. J.
J. Kerr is the missionary, and is labpring
with great activity and with no small' suc
cess.
BAPTIST.
Education of Colored Ministers.—The
Baptist Home Mission Board are about
Opening four schools for the education of
colored ministers in the'South. Rev. J. G.
Binney, D.D. ' is to superintend the school
Richmond or Washington; Rev. H. 01 Rip
ley, D.D., at Savannah; - and Rev. J.'Ohap

em field, but the arrangements are not yet
perfected.
Items.—The American Baptist Publication
Society calls for $50,000 for Sabbath-schooli
work among the whites and colored people
of the South. Libraries are wanted for 2000
schools, and it is intended to sustain colpor=
teurs in every Southern State.—At the
Free-Will Baptist Genera 1 Conferenc,e
Lewiston, Mame, a short time sine6, - a ieso-,
lution prohibiting the ordination of Ministers
who use tobacco was adopted.
' SOCIETY OF, FRIENDS.
The Friends in the. West are follniving
the footsteps . of their English brethien
making a movement towards. co s operatioit
with other Christians in works of philan-;
thropy and general Christian effort.ll At the
yearly meeting, recently held -at Richmond,
Indiana, a member arose and stated that it
had lain " heavily upon him to...alludel to a
subject of great interest and . vital - importance
—the extension of the influence . bf this 'part
of the Church to persons outside the' hounds
of our Society:" Reference . iS" here had to a
co-operation of the Friends'4ifli theflible
Society; Tract Societies, Freedpeople Socie
ties; First-day Schooli, Education, &c: Sta 2
tistics read show that there are 2969 families'
and:parts of families, and 11,.955 members
belonging to the ye:arly meeting ; that 244
persons were received into membership dur
ing the past year, and 66 ceased to be mem
bers. The yearly meeting directed the sub
ordinate meetings to endeavor to raise this
year $30,000 to aid their various works of
humanity.
TEMPERANCE,
A .Substantial Nevementi—A "National
Temperance Society and PUblishing- House"
was organized last week by the Committee
appointed at the Saratoga Convention. It
contemplates a large issue of publioations,
and especial labors in churches and Sabbath
schools. Wm. E. Dodge was appointed pre
sident, Wm. A. Booth, treasurer ; and on its,
list of Vice-Presidents are Gen. Howard, Gov.
Buckingham, M. W. Baldwin, Rev. Dr. Be
min, and Geo.'-H. Stuart. Its Board' of

R A. Lambert,'- E. C. Delavan, Wm. B.
Spooner, Rev. 'Messrs. Foss, Cuyler, Newell
Stryker, Dunn, and Tyng. persons who
subscribe the total abstinence pledge and pay
one dollar are annual members. Life mem
bers pay $2O ; Life directors $lOO, and Life
patrons $5OO.
MISSIONARY. ,
The Best of Signs.—A Baptist missionary
in India writes:— Quite a number of our
best boys have given up very remunerative
government employ and have entered the!
ministry. This cheers me. I feel that we
may look, for, success such as we have not
seen yet." He further writes :-"At our
annual meeting we had reported fifteen
traveling preachers ; but the Board was so
much encouraged at the report of the preach
-era,--that. thor appointed. ‘att new wan,- 50 that.
we are now running twenty-five men as trav
eling preachers."'
Another Missionary Failen.—We have
received intelligence of the , death of. Rev.
Samuel A. Rhea, of - the Nestorian Mission,
of the American Board, while on his way
from Tabriz to Oroomiah, with Mrs. Rhea.
They spent the night at a small village, where
Mr. Rhea was attacked with sickness, re
sembling cholera. Not finding any comfort
able accommodations, they left the next
morning, travtling on horseback, although
he Was still suffering from the disease. They
had not proceeded far before he became much
worse, and he died suddenly on the road.
Anstralia.—No more difficult work has
been undertaken anywhere than that among
the aborigines of this country. The Mora
vians-have made an encouraging`beginning in
elevating the natives from their deep degra
dation. The converts •walk Worthy of their
high' calling, not bringing reproach on the
cause which they have espoused; some young
people are coming forward as candidates for.
baptism, and the schools have been attended
in a manner that, gives reason to hope for the
futuie. The 'amount of success already re
ceived has induced the Melbourne Committee
in aid of Moravian Missions 'to commence a
new.mission among the wild tribes residing
in. the District of Cooper's Creek. '
FOREIGN.
English Setvices in Germany. —A corre
spondent of the Christian A lvocate, writing
from Berlin, says :—".lt is a a honor to our
country to be represented abroad by such a
minister a.s, Governor Wright. He is now
happily situated at N0..24 Regenten Strasse,
and is in the active discharge of his duties.
Mainly through his efforts, we have begun
English service; and design to continue -it
every Sabbath through' the winter. Our
first sermon was preached last Sabbath toy
Professor Hepburn, of North Carolina; tu3d
the little hall was well filled, mostly by Ter
sons from England. The great hindrance is
a lack of a suitable place of worship."
IISCELLANEOIJS.
Four Hours Ahead.—ln three months
from the time that oil was found at Pithole
City, there was a town built containing from
eight to twelve thousand people,
.and within
the Circumference - of a mile there axeßro
duded`thieS-thousand barrels - of oil per
Presbyterians of the "Other Branch" were
for once up to the spirit of the age, and
commenced preaching there four hours in
advance of the Methodists, who are generally
the pioneers. ,Other towns . grow up in cen
turies—this in months. Well, therefore, may
the hours be noted. A theatre was erected
at Pithole when two Monthsold . , which, in
the absence of church buildings, as used: S a
church.• Thus, after all, it seems that as
ready as Presbyterians and Methodists were
to occupy the field, Satan was a little in ad
vance of both.—Evangelist.
American Biblelociety.—This Society is
now fassins through its jubilee yeas, and the
occasion istiwisely seized upon for special con
tributions aa a thanksgiving to God for the
world-wide results of its fifty years of labor.
A circular recently issued by the secretaries
says :—" The, whole plan for celebrating the
jubilee year has met a hearty response from
OUT friends in every Part' of the country.
Many resolutions of our auxiliaries and-eccle
siastical bodies hive •already been forwarded.
Some of these evince a noble, practical sym-
pathy. The Massachusetts Bible Society has
appropriated $5OOO for the Arabic Scriptures.
One society in the West voted to raise a
thousand dollars beyond their usual dona
tion. Anotherin New Jersey aims at $2500,
which is more than double its last annual
receipts. In Indiana an effort is making to
raise $lO,OOO among the Sabbath-school
children. In Illinois it is proposed that their
special jubilee gift shall be $50,000 above
the ordinary receipts. We hear of liberal
things devised by liberal hearts in Ohio, New
Jersey, and New York. Specific contribu
tions have been frequently received for the
freedmen, the South, and other objects.
Many Bible societies will celebrate the jubi
lee year in -their own time and way, thus
making little jubilees all ever the land.
Addresses and sermons will be delivered by
ministers and other friends of the cause:
The echoes of our jubilee trumpets are re
turning to us from beyond the seas."
Christian Unity-A Platform.—The new
mover eat which from several late inter
enommationa meetings in New York;
has grown into an organization 'under the
name , of the "Christian Union Asssciation,7
is= receiving. great favor. ' ,At a late meeting
of the Association, attended by clergy and
members of tlie , Old and New-School Presby
terian, Reformed Dutch, Episcopalian, Con
gregational,. Methodist and Baptist churches,
Rev. Dr., Ferris, presiding, the following
" Declaration of Praacij9les and Plans," re
ported by Rev. Dr. Vermilye, w as unani
mously adopted :-- ' w ill of
" Knowing it to be the will of our Lord.
Jesus Christ; the Kink and Head of the
Church; that his people should' be all line, in
and 'through 'Him; and believing that the
Holy Ghost, by his Divine power, hath in
these latter ( days wrought effectively upon the'
hearts of Christians,=thus drawing ; theme to-,
gether as by a mystic , bond, and unifying;
them in faith, hope, and charity: Therefore,
moved by convictions of imperative duty, and
encouraged by the vents of Providence, we,
the nieinbers and. friends of the American`
Christian Union Association, do set forth the
following declaration:
" 1.. ThaktliO..iMity%hf, ,Siiirit&reates.
the unity of the one Holy Catholic Church.
"a That the doctrines of the common sal
vation as Set forth in What id Called the Apoi
tles' a.nd the Nicene Creeds,- compose the,
broad' basis with which all subsequent for
mularies of the Evangelical denominations of
the Christian, Church'• cohere.
" 3. The Church, thus one in spirit, and
agreeing upon the cardinal and eternal truths
of reielation and redemption, ought tribe and
may be so unified in visible fellowship, as to
give eVidenee to the world that it is one in
spirit; faitb,. and purpose., ,
" Denbidinational'organizations not
destroy, spiritual oneness—any, more.than the
several niembers'of the human bOdY ilestroy
its integrity-rso,long as they are animated by
the mind of Christ.
"5. AS the communion of stints' is an ar
ticle in the uniVersal c'ree'd of the Church,
andpugliit, to be incorporated among its
usages„;we 'believe that . wise', fraternal, and
es„pedient Measures slould be taken to,bring
into closer'Union all who now love and serve
the same Lord, and confess themselves to be
brethren one ofpnother.'
"These five propositions compose the fun
damebtal principles upon Which this Chris
tian Union Association has been organized.
These. furnishdbe warrant for its existence
and define the main object it will .labor tO
attain."

REV. `CHARLES: A. SMITH, D.D.,
This Seminary has been in successful operation for
several years at No. 1530 Arch street, A new locality
has been selected, not only because it is more central
in its relations to the most densely populatedportions
of the city, butalso because the school-rooms are un
usually large -and airy, and admirably adapted to the
Diirpose to -which they are.designed.
To the present and former patrons of the school it is
needless to speak of its advantages. To others, who
desire to send their daughters to a first-class institu
tion, it will be enough to say, that the design of this
schoolis to - educate, in-the only-true sense. • To secure
this end, thoroughness is aimed at in all the branches
pursued, so that the scholar may understand the
principle involved in every investigation.'
The classes are arranged in three departments
Primary, Academic, and Collegiate. There -are sepa
rate and ample aceommodations for Primary pupils, as
well as for those belonging to the higher departments.
All the departments are subject to tine same discipline
and general superyision. .
• Circulars containing Connie' of Study,.and• other in-'
formation. may be obtained at the Presbyterian
House, 1334 Chestnut street; also, at 1226 Chestnut
street, or address Box 2611: Post Office. Philadelphia.
The next session will commence on MONDAY, Sep
tember 18th, 1865.
The rooms willbe ready for examination about the
first of September. ".
