guttilignirf. PRESBYTERIAN. Interesting Revival in East Tennes see,—A correspondent of the Presbyterian forwards an account of a revival in Rev. Dr. Vance's congregation, (O. S.) at Baker's Creek, in East Tennessee. The revival com menced with a round of prayer-meetings, held by young men returned from the army. A protracted meeting followed, the church was crowded, and the Spirit of God was pre sent with power, and at the last accounts, the interest was increasing. This account is the more pleasant from the fact that Dr. Vance is the only minister of Knoxville Presbytery who remained to continue his labors during the past four years of war. A n d he is the only minister of that PresbyterYi, who, from the beginning, maintained u nhesitating and unconditional loyalty to the Church and to the country. Since S e ptember, 1861, he has been almost entirely alone. Living two huri ; dyed and fifty miles from any Presbytery, he has continued abundant in labors, amid the greatest trials and the most perplexing anxie ties. His field of labor has beep the theatre o f wa r. It has formed the ground for the advancing and receding forces of the contend ing armies. His people have become fami liar witWthe highway robber and the blood thirsty guerrilla. And now; when the dark day of their calamity is over, and the young men of the Church, graciously preserved, have returned to their homes, it is with no ordinary joy that the aged pastor and his peo ple repair to the sanctuary, not only to recount mercies that have passed, but to be hold such displays of God's glorious grace as lead the fathers of the Church to exclaim, "We have never witnessed such scenes before." Means and their Fruits.—A private letter from Johnstown, Pa. says : As a direct result of the Convention of the Pres bytery of Blairsville, we have been blessed with a _precious refreshing from the presence of the Lord, and last week we added thirteen persons to our communion upon examination. Many mote, old and young, are anxiously in quiring the way of salvation."—Pettsburg Banner. Cumberland Presbyterians in Califor nia.—The Pacific Cumberland Presbyterian says of the California Synod, which met at Alamo, October 4th :—" Never before have we seen our ministers on this cm,. so hopeful as they were at Synod. Almost every con gregation has experienced some omens for good, and is exhibiting some signs of life. Some of our congregations have had some gracious outpourings of the Holy Spirit— some gracious times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord, and have been much strengthened and comforted, both by the. Spirit's influence, and by accessions to their numbers." Union.—Rev. T. M. Chesnut, of the 0. S. branch, by invitation, supplying both branches of the Presbyterian Church at Felicity, Ohio—each congregation retaining its former ecclesiastical connection. Thus far they are working together quite harmoni ously. —Presbyter. Items.—Rev. Wm. Spear, late Missionary. to China, and since pastor in Minnesota, has been elected to the vacant Secretaryship of the 0. S. Board of Education.—The Pres byterian church in Huntington, Long Island, celebrated its two hundredth anniversary on the 19th ult. The occasion was one of great interest.—The remains `of Rev. Joseph S. Christmas, formerly of New York, and after wards a Montreal pastor, whose memory is fragrant with the gentle but earnest fervor of his ministry, have recently been removed from the Old .13rick Church burying ground in, New York, to the Greenwood Cemetery. He died thirty-five years ago, in the prime of his usefulness.—Mr. W. J. Park was; on the 7th ult., ordained and installed pastor of the Presbyterian church, 0. S., in Freder icksburg, Ohio.—Rev. W. M. Baker, son of the late Rev.

He has now before him a call to Zanesville, Ohio.—Rev. Drs. S. J. P. Anderson and James H. Brookes, rampant opposers of the position of the 0. S. General Assembly concerning the South ern churches, propose to publish in St. Louis a weekly paper under the title of the Presby terian Witness.—Rev. Wm. W. Laverty, a zealous and successful minister, forced some time ago, 'by the weakness of his vocal or sans, to leave the pulpit and resort to teach , mg, died on the 28th of October, at Morgan town, West Virginia, aged 37 years. He was, at the time of his death, Principal of the Academy in that place.—The pastoral labors of Rev. John Montgomery with the Presbyterian church in Sullivan, Indiana, commenced last March, at which time there were thirty members. During the eig ht months since, that number has been doubled. —The church in Tiffin, Ohio, has just re ceived a gracious visitation. Thus far twenty two have been added by profession. CONGREGATIONAL. Items.—Rev. J. P. Thompson,D.D., the distinguished pastor of the Broaway Taber nacle, New York, has taken a leave of ab sence for nine months, receiving, as pastors in the more favored positions generally do, a continuance of salary, and a liberal travel ingtoutfit.—An eate n 've revival is in pro gress in West Medwa , Mass., where a col league with the venerable Dr. Ide has recent ly been settled. —Rev._ Dr. Webb's church, in Boston, recently took up a collection of over $2300 for Home Missions.—The re moval of the Theological Seminary from East Windsor to Hartford, Conn., is opening to the students a fine field for immediate use fulness, in connection with the work of the city Home Missionary Society just organized in the latter city.—About forty hopeful con versions are reported from R. T. Searle's con gregation in Thomaston, Conn. GERMAN REFORMED. North Oarolina•—Our German Reformed brethren in North Carolina are making for themselves a commendable record. At a late meeting of their N. 0. Classis, held in Rowan county, a series of resolutions on the state of the country was adopted, lacking, it is true, in outspoken condemnation of the rebellion, but still wholesome in their tone, and embracing, among others, the following : "Resolved, That we cherish unabated attach ment to the Union of our fathers, and that we will give our hearty support to the Gov ernment that God has placed over us, yield ing cheerful obedience to all the laws, and seek the peace and welfare of our whole country." The report of the state of religion within the bounds of this Classis, gives a sad account of the embarrassing effects of the war upon their religious enterprises. Among other things, their Board of Missions reports 'all its funds as worthless, and there is not one cent of current money in the hands of the Treas urer of the Class's. Still they are enabled to say :-- " The brethren of the Classis report, that, as a general thing, the churches are rapidly rising from their late depression, and are beginning to look.' hopefully into the future, that they are laying plans to preserve their spiritualinheritance to their children. In most cases, they hope to be able to do some THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 14 1865. thing for the support of their pastors, as the business of the country shall be resumed. A very large attendance on the sanctuary is reported in almost all the charges, and close attention is given to the truths preached. In a number of congregations, more than usual interest on the subject of religion has been manifested lately, and larger accessions will probably be made to the churches than was anticipated. The brethren also report new openings for the truth, where congrega tions ma x be gathered; when peace is fully restored items.—The Classic of East Susquehanna re cently _relieved from their,pastoral charges Rev. W. Goodrich, of Bloomsburg, Pa., and Rev. A. G. Dole, of Milton, Pa. In both cases it was for the purpose of a change of field of labor. —The First German Reformed Church in Lebanon, Pa., Rey. Mr. Bremer's, has recently received to its communion, an accession of forty-one persons by confirmation. —ln New Bloomfield, Pa., twenty-two have just been received by confirmation, making thirty-two within the last six months. —Fourteen persons have just been added to the German Reformed Church in West Fremont, Ohio. EPISCOPAL. Ministers Wanted, In the Episcopal Church ; as in our own, the deficiency of can didates for the ministry is exciting the gravest apprehensions. Witness the follow ing, from a recent appeal issued by the Exe cutive Committee of the Society for thg In crease of the Ministry :—" The .crisis is in deed very urgent. Never before was there so great need of efforts to increaselite minis try. The work of missions suffers neatly for want of missionaries. Many parishes are still without pastors. The ranks of the clergy scarcely hold their own. They do not keep pace with the population. The people have increased fifty per cent. faster than the ministry. Ninety years ago we had one clergyman to every ten thousand of the peo ple. Now we have only one to every fifteen thOusand. The candidates for orders are positively decreasing at a rapid rate. In ten dioceses, they have fallen off forty-four in three years. In eight others, there has been no gain." Camden Missionary Institute.—A pro ject which has for some time been maturing for a wholly free eduption of candidates for missionary work in the Episcopal Church, has passed into the stage of experiment, our neighboring city of Camden being the loca tion, under the following plan :—" It is the intention.to provide everything free of charge for such of the students as desire to devote their lives to the missionary labors, and those that are looking forward to other callings are to be charged the nominal sum of •one hun dred to one hundred and fifty dollars per annum for board. In this way it is thought that a 4 religious influence can be brought to bear upon a large number of young men, which will prove most salutary ; in its effects. At present, however, none are to be admitted into the institute except those that are desirous to become moral and religious in structors in the foreign or domestic missionary field. These latter will find here a Christian home, and every facility will be afforded them for acquiring such knowledge as will fit them for their future sphere of labor." The instructors, with the exception of the rector, afford, gratuitously for the present, the time which they can spare from their regular ministerial duties in the vicinity. The corps consists of Rev. T. Maxwell Reilly, RD. rector, and Rev. Joseph F. Garrisson, M.D.', Rev. Samuel F. Hotchkin, M.A., Rev. Robert M. Mitcheson, M.A., and Rev. Edward A. Foggs, M.A. Items.—The corner-stone was recently laid for a new Episcopal church, in San Mateo, California.—Rev. W. A. - Fuller, late of the Unitarian Church, has applied to be admitted as a candidate for Holy Orders, in Massachu setts.—Rev. W. H. Milburn, late of the Methodist Episcopal Church, well known as the "Blind Preacher," has been, admit ted to Orders in the Episcopal Church, by Bishop Hopkins.—During the last twelve months, in connection with "The Floatin Church of our Saviour," in the g_ port of New York, twenty-five sailors have received confirmation at the hands of Bishop Potter. METHODIST. Winchester, Va.—The statement going the rounds of the secular press, to the effect that the Methodist Church at this place has been given by the military authorities to the Southerners, is without foundation. An ef fort was recently made by the Southern branch to secure the appointment of trustees of their own complexion before the court, but they failed. The church is regularly occu pied by Rev. B. H. Crever, of our Church. The congregations are good,. and a flourish ing Sabbath-school in operation.— Cor. Chr. Advocate. Items.—The M. E. Church (loyal) in Co vington, Ky., has been enjoying a spiritual refreshing. A church edifice and parsonage are about to be built—Rev. William Barnes, the oldest effective minister of the Philadelphia Conference, _died suddenly, in this city, on the the 26th ult. He was nearly eighty years of age, but had lost little of his natural force, either of body or mind. The Mount Washington Female College, near Baltimore, heretofore an enterprise of the German Reformed Church,. has been . pur chased with the view of placing it under the auspices of the Baltimore and East Baltimore Conference of the M. E. Church.—The Laight Street Church, Baltimore, reports a revival.—Rev. Samuel Simons, of the British Wesleyan Conference, for nearly thirty years a missionary in the West Indies, died in England, on the 7th ult.—The Rose Hill, M. E., Church, New York, gave, on the 24th ult., a meeting of welcome to forty returned volunteers, out of the fifty-two sent from its congregation to the army. Seven of the number have died, and the others are still absent.—St. Peter's Church in Reading, Pa., has recently enjoyed a revi val.—Four additional M. E. Church edifi ces have recently been built, or are in process of erection, in Chicago.—An unusual reli gious interest prevails in the Methodist churches in San Francisco. BAPTISY. Boston stnd Vicinity.—An exchange says that a revival of religious interest is mani fested in all directions there. Most of the churches feel the coming power, and songs of new-born souls are heard. The Broadway Chula in South Boston, and the churches of South Braintree and Mansfield are being particularly blessed. A Rare Bible Class.—A correspondent of the National Baptist says that nearly one half the members, of his church are found in the adult classes of the Sabbath-school. Of one class he gives the following account : " It numbers eight members, and the young est is nearly seventy years of age, while the oldest is eighty-tour. The teacher is eighty one, and has keen a deacon in the church over half a centtry. The average age of the class must be coisiderably above seventy, but it is probably the most regular class in the entire school. The seats are generally full, and it is a pleasant sight to look on that com pany of gray-haired men, eagerly engaged in the study of God'S word." Rbvivals in Pennsylvania.—During the last month, seventy-two persons were added by baptism to the j - liaritier's Baptist Church in this city, twenty-one to the North Church, and twelve to the church, at Chestnut Hill. Revivals of recent occurrence are also report ed in Troy, Connellsville, and East Brandy wine. The revival in the schools at Lewis burg, before mentioned, is growing wider and deeper. That at Penningtonville also con tinues. Items.—Recently Rev. G. J. Johnson, District Secretary of the American Baptist Publication ' Society, visited a notoriously disloyal church in Missouri, whose pastor was silent because of his inability to take the test oath, and took up a collection for the colporteur and Sabbath-school work of the Society. The collection amounted to $l.lO U. S. currency, and $lO Confederate money. —Baptists of West Virginia at a meeting held last month in Parkersburg, organized the "Baptist General Association of West and North." It avoids " sectional bias," leaving its churches free to welcome either Northern or Suthern aid.—Tuesday of this week was named by the Philadelphiaßaptist Association as a day for special humiliation and prayer, and was generally observed by its churches as such.—Last month thirty-four persons were received by baptism .into the North Camden, N. J., chureh. Revivals are also reported from lliillville and Woodstown, N. J., and from many other parts of the country, North and South. LUTHERAN Small Tincture of Secessionism.—Of the twelve Lutheran Synods in the former slave States, no more than three—those of Virgi nia, North Carolina, and South Carolina— took part in the formation of "a.General Synod of the Lutheran Church in the Con federate States." The Lutherans in the other slave States were decided opponents not only of the rebellion, but of slavery. There will soon be an end of the Confederate Lutheran Church. Amended Statistics.—A paragraph, stat ing 'that "the shadow of the Lutheran Church is growing less," has been on its travels. It was founded on the statistics contained in the Lutheran Almanac for 1866. The Lutheran and Missionary of this city opposes to the figures what 'it claims 'to be more reliable statistics, gathered for another almanac by another puldishing house. These last give a net increase, during the last year, of 84 ministers, 91 congregations, and 19,692 communicants. The present total given is -1627 ministers, 2856 congregations, and 312,- 415 communicants. Items.—Rev. G. H. Beckley has been transferred from NG r oodsboro, Md.,, to the pastorate of the Lutheran church in. Ship pensburg, Pa.—The Lutheran church in Reading, Pa., has, during the past season, paid a debt of $20,000, expended $5OOO in renovating its church edifice, and procured a new organ at an expense of $3OOO. —Of 280 congregations belonging to the the Lu theran Synod of Pennsylvania, only 41 have each the entire service of a pastor, and only 100 ministers serve the whole number. above. Lutheran Theological Seminary`in St. Louis, Mo., for the sending out of German speaking ministers, graduated last year 29 students, and has now 67 in attendance.— Rev. Irving Magee was, on the 19th ult., in stalled over the Second English Lutheran church in Baltimore. SOCIETY OF FRIENDS First-Day Schools.—We see' it stated in the N. Z. 'Observer, that the Society of Friends in that city have been discussing with great earnestness • the expediency of schools on the first day of the week, to in struct their children in the duties of religion and the doctrines of the Society. It is re ported in some of the papers that a division of the body may be the result of the differ ence of opinion on the question, but the Observer does not anticipate such cons quences. Here in Pennsylvania we believe that First-Day schools for religious culture are regarded with pretty general favor, and are, in several instances, carried on by mem bers of this Society. MISSIONARY The Best of Sig ns.—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 flir success such as we have not seen yet." He further writes: "At our an nual meeting we had reported fifteen travel ing preachers;' but the Board was so maph encouraged at the report-of the preachers, that they appointed ten new men, so that we are now running twenty-five men as traveling preachers." Death of Another Missionary.—We hai i ve the sad intelligence of the death of another missionary of the American Board, Rev. Henry Ballantine, for thirty years a laborer in India. He was returning to his native land, in the hope of recovering from the effects of his long and arduous toil. He died at sea, on the 9th of November, when he was four days and a half from Liverpool.— Boston Recorder. MISCELLANEOVS American Bible, Society.—At the meet ing of the Board of Managers, Nov. 30, four new auxiliaries were recognized : one in Kan sas, two in Kentucky, and one in Michigan. Communications were received from agents in Mexico and the Argentine Confederation, showing encouraging success i u their work ; and interesting letters from 1‘ fr. Bliss, Rev. A. L. Long, and Rev. Dr. Ric4s, of Constan tinople, in regard to harmonizing the orien tal versions ; from Rev. Dr. Rapper, Canton, on Chinese versions; and from the British and Foreign Bible Society, as to making du plicated plates of the Arabic Bible. Grants of books were made to the North -Carolina Institution for the Deaf, Dumb, and Blind; to the American Missionary Association; large numbers of Bible Societies and ,Com nlitteels. at the South, at the request of agents of,„the Parent Society, &c. M. C. A., Buffale.—The young men be lonkiiit to this Association in Buffalo are doing . a good work. Prayer-meetings are sustained by them in different parts of the city; a Union Sabbath-school has been estab lished. "Bibles, Testaments, and religious tracts and papers are distributed, and entire districts are canvassed for the purpose of gathering children and youth of both sexes into the Sabbath and public schools. Families are induced to connect themselves with Christian congregations and churches, with whom they become identified and with whom they will attend religious services on the Sabbath. They seek a single comprehensive object, which is the evangelization of the masses of the city." Items.—We have accounts of an extensive revival in West Woodstock, Rev. Mr. Parker laboring as an evangelist in aid of the Baptist and Congregational Churches.—Lord Pal merston attended Mr. Spurgeon's service at the Metropolitan Tabernacle, one Sabbath morning during the last summer, and, after worship, hanckd him a handsome donation for his College.---In pursuance of a recom mendation of the New York Sabbath-school Coniention, last Sabbath was somewhat ex tensively observed by the Churches in that State as a day of special prayer for Divine influences upon the , Sabbath-schools.— New York City and vicinity are said to have a French-speaking population of about forty thousand. A French religious-paper, weekly, is about to be started for their benefit, under the title of Le .Nouveau Monde. , Rev. J. B. C. BeaUbien and Rev. N. Cyr, are expected to beccime the editors.—We learn with regret that Madame Feller, the founder of the Grande Ligne Mission in Canada, and now somewhat advanced in years, is pros trated yith symptoms of paralysis and gene ral debbity. FOREIGN. Spanish Ameriea.—The Christian World for December has an interesting article on the evangelization of Spanish America, a region daily becoming more accessible to missionary labor. "Where are probably upwards of thirty millions of human beings in Mexico and South America, most of whom speak Spanish.l The seven millions of Brazil speak Portuguese—a language allied to Spanish. It is necessary only to acquire this latter in order to communicate freely with the multi tudes of those countries-- for the language of Brazil isvery soon understood by one who speaks Kpanish." The climate of most of the country is healthy ind beautiful. The wealth of Span ish Ameiica is immense—in precious metals, woods, snedicines, vegetables, fruits, and flowers. 1 All these invite mercantile enter prise. The numerous navigable rivers afford every ad'antage for securing this wealth, and only poi' ical obstacles interfere with efforts that ma , i be made for commercial intercourse. The people are beginning to waver in their attachment to their old bigoted faith, and the masks desire something more satisfying tlaan Rotnanism. It is hoped that something may oe 4ccomplished by means of Christian foreigners now scattered among them in various.employments, and having the confi dence oitthe people. They hope to organize prayer keetings and Sabbath-schools--day schools are common already—and to circulate the Scriptures and other religious reading. "Many intelligent refugees from Mexico are now in New York ; some give evidence of being regenerated, and say they would gladly return to the frontiers of their country with Testaments and tracts, which they assert that th'e.y can introduce and circulate among their cuntrymen. They only wait for the pecuni y aid necessary to enable them to return This whole subject is of vast conse quence and it now looks as if God intended to use ou nation for a great work in Spanish Ameri . Will not Christian merchants, and others ho love our Lord, heed the signs of the times?" / Ronanism in Italy.—There is an Eman cipation Society in Italy, including now nine hundred and seventy-one priests among its memberkip, seeking " a liturgy in the na tionalii I nguage, the free circulation of the Bible, e abolition of forced celibacy, the admissi n of full and entire liberty of con science and the formal renunciation of every doctrine of compulsion,..and a oecumenical council' for the disciplinary reform of the Catholic Church in acc&dance with the re quirements of the ad;dkc'ed civilization of Christian nations." fin Hy 10 the fabits Loon o'er the fashions which old pictures show ----As-thin...prevailed some fifty years ago; At leas, that phase of fashion which conveys Hints of those instruments of torture—BTATS I And then compare the old, complex machine, With dirt which iu these modern days is seen: No more V steel and' whalebone is the chest, Or side, o liver, terribly compressed; .
