gjfta of m “ Life of Brainerd” in Union Sem inary.—The students of Union return their thanks, in the last Evangelist, to “ those unknown friends who have mark- ed, for us, the incoming of the New Year by the gift to each of us of a desirable book, ‘ The Life of John Brainerd,’ by the Rev. Thomas Brainerd, D.D., pub- lished by the Presbyterian Publication Committee. Valuable in itself, it will be more highly prized as a proof that there are those who are interested in our welfare and happiness. We value it as a token of Christian friendship, and as a record of Christian life, as the me moir of one of America’s last mission- aries.” About Twenty Students at the Union Theological Seminary, in New York City, have served in the army. Installation at Bloomington, 111. Not long ago you informed your readers that the Rev. J. Maclean, of St. Louis, had received a unanimous call to the pastorate of the First Church of Bloomington, 111. You can now in form them that the installation of the pastor took place on -Tuesday evening, January 9th. The services were all in teresting, and were attended by a large and attentive audience, The installation sermon was preached by Rev. M. P. Ormsby, of Minonk. The charge to the pastor was delivered by Rev. Mr. Bailey, of the Second Church, Bloom ington, and the charge to the people by Rev. Mr. Dillingham, of Wenona. The prospects of this church are re garded by its members as more encour aging at present than for years past, The pastor enters on his work with a united, harmonious, and, as we believe, loving people. May abundant success crown his labors, and may the work of prayer in which the church is now en gaged have a return of blessings from God commensurate with its need. Donation Yisit. —The congregation of the Presbyterian Church, St. George’s, Delaware, assembled at the house of their pastor, Rev. D. H. Emerson, on the evening of New Year’s day, to exchange the New Year’s greetings with him and his family, and to do what they could to make it a Happy New Year to all the occupants of the parsonage. ‘ The even ing was passed in that kind of social reunion which is so important for a con gregation, and so delightful in itself; and at its close, the pastor’s family were presented with the sum of $2OO in money, and other gifts sufficient to- amount to $lOO more. These donations are very valuable, not only for what they add to the pastor’s purse, but what they sug gest, viz: the continued confidence and goodwill of a beloved congregation. Rock Him. T J ilekryttcuiAN _C huroh, St. Louis County, Mo., which was nearly extinct by dissensions caused by the war, has, under the care of Rev. Benja min Mills, more than recovered its former prosperity, with additions at everyconftnunion. On Christmas night the people presented their pastor with three hundred dollars and a sewing ma chine. The minister above mentioned is a brother of our Secretary of Educa tion. Rev. E. N. Manly, of Boonville, Oneida County, we regret to understand, has been unable to do pastoral or. minis terial work for about four months past. He became prostrated*by over-doing or too long doing under infirmity, in the hot weather of summer. His generous peo ple and co-presbyters are, however, sup plying his pulpit, and but recently the former united in requesting him to take an additional vacation of six months, his salary continuing as usnal. A Good Example.—-Dr. Booth, pas tor of the Mercer St. Church, N. Y., is in the habit of having our “ American Pres byterian Almanac.” distributed to each of the pews, if we mistake not, at his own expense. He finds his compensa tion doubtless in different ways, among others in not meeting a blank and won dering look when presenting our various causes of benevolence to his always lib eral people. The example is worthy of general imitation, at least so far as the distribution of the Almanac is concerned, though we would not always have it done at the pastor’s expense. Every church can well afford to pay for its own good.— Evangelist. A German Missionary. —-Dr. Ken dall writes to the Herald, that our Com mittee in New York have just commis sioned Rev. J. W. Marcussohn to labor among the Germans in Cincinnati, and that he will come, on immediately and enter upon Mb work. .There is a wide and inviting field here for this brother, and we are assured that he is admira bly fitted by his natural gifts and cul ture to interest and profit our German population. Rev. S. B. King, of Newton, Indiana, acknowledges donations from the con gregations of Newton and Rob. Roy, December 19th, amounting to $57 in money, and $lOO in miscellaneous arti cles. CarrolltoS, lll — Rev. S. H. Hyde is pastor elect of our church in Caroll ton. Though by some blunder, his name does not appear in the minutes of 1865, he is 'earnestly at work as a minister of Christ. Rev. W. C. Clark. haß resigned his pharge of the Presbyterian Church in Sturgis, Mich, and accepted a call to the Presbyterian Church in Howell, the county seat of Livingston County, in the same State. Correspondents will please govern themselves accordingly. THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, JANUARY 18, 1866. Olivet Presbyterian Church.— The pastor in bis anniversary sermon, Sabbath morning, the 7th inst., made various encouraging statements, show ing the prosperous condition of the Church. During the year, no church member has been removed by death, and forty-five have been added to the Com munion, fifteen of them by profession of faith. A convenient and commodious new sanctuary has been completed, fur nished and dedicated without debt; the congregation has more than doubled, the income has' increased in an equal pro portion, and one thousand dollars added to the pastor’s salary. Another Western Home Mission ary Remembered. —Mineral Point, Wisconsin, January 8, 1866.— Jlev. John W. Mears— Dear Sir This is the season of gifts, and I wish to bear testimony to the generosity and kindly regard of my Home Missionary charge to their minister. I think the institution called “ Mite Society” iB not peculiar to this western field. Such an institution has been organized here during the last year. Meetings of a social nature, open to all, and each one coming is expected to pay five cents for the benefit of the church and society. Well, after considerable delay it was determined between myself and my good wife, to open our house for this gather ing, on the evening of December 29th. They came, young and old, an unusually large gathering. A basket was placed on the study table for the collections, and when the “mites” were allgathered in, the contents of the basket were pre sented to the minister’s wife. Said con tents were found, on investigation, to be $lO5 in green backs! It also appeared that many of the friends had been out shopping on the way, and strangely, about $2O worth of their purchases seem to have been forgotten, and never being -called for, have been confiscated. To the credit of a small but generous church, let me give you some statements pertaining to last year. The people here raise two-thirds of my salary, $5OO, the balance being paid by the Home I Missionary Society. This has been paid with promptness and regularity. Besides this, they gave me during the year above $lBO ; expended on our Sabbath school $l3O, and contributed to various other objects pertaining to the church and society, and benevolent objects from without; various amounts swelling the sum total of money raised by them as a society during the year, to about $1250. Our Sabbath-school is prospering. The quarterly report just made, shows an increase of forty in the average at tendance 4bove that of the correspond ing quarter-of 1864. Ten members of the school have professed their faith and been received to our church during the year. We commence the New Year wits Jippe. Yours in the Gospel, Jbf. Washington Fourth Church.—We are glad to learn that the relgious in terest ip this church, (Rev. Dr. Smith’s) still continues. New cases of awaken ing appear every week. The meetings for prayer are largely attended and deeply solemn. An important accession to the membership was made at the late communion in December. The Fourth and Sixth Washington Churches observed the week of prayer in alternate services. We learn! that the meetings were spirited and spiritual. We can imagine few greater blessings for our denomination or for our country than a powerful work of grace in the Nation’s Capital. We beg our friends everywhere to pray for Washington. American Board. —The receipts into the treasury in November were small— only $19,825 40. The amount from September 1 to November 30, one quar ter of the year, was $70,352 90. At this rote $281,411 60 will be the receipts of the yeat, whereas $507,000 00 have been appropriated ; i. e., the actual re ceipts are nearly 50 per cent, behind. Revival at Evansville. —Rev. W. H, McCarer writes to the Herald .-—“ I have been f holding meetings for three weeks ; the Lord has greatly blessed us. Christians have been lifted to a higher plane of holy living and enjoyment, and more than thirty souls are indulging hope, though I cannot say how many of these, will unite with us.” late’s KaMt. Vaughan. Christ the Light of the World. By C. J. Vaughan, D.D., Vicar of Don caster. London and New York: AStra han. 18mo., pp. 269. For sale by Smith, English & Co., Philadelphia. This compact little volume of sermons is robbed, by its unpretending, though really neat and beautiful appearance, of the for midable character such books are considered to have. And, indeed, it has nothing tedious argument, or recondite in theology, to drive away the reader, but is one sweet, attractive current of truly Christian thought, in which the character and work of Christ are presentedin striking and in structive aspects. The topics discussed are: Why He Came; The Lamp and the Light; Nunc Dimittis; XJses of Light; A Man of Sorrows; The Gospel of the Fall; The Gospel of the Flood; Christ the Lord of Nature; Christ the Conqueror of Satan; Christ the Destroyer of Death; Christ the Sinner’s Friend; Cast Out and Found. An objection might be taken to the title of the volume as scarcely accurate; but the contents are sound in matter, elegant calm in style, and profitable in tendency Pltoier. Jehovah Jireh: A Treatise on ! Providence. By William S. Plumer, D. I)., LL.D. Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott & Co, 16m0., pp. 233. The author of this little volume is well known as one of the most earnest, lumi nous, terse and practical of theological | writers. Providence is a favorite subject with him, and he never fails, in handling it, to put it in some striking light, or to so discourse of it as to impress the memory powerfully with his emphatic utterances and homely illustrations. There is, we think, needless exaggeration of familiarity in some of his expressions; and that most valuable art of conveying important thought entire in a single brief sentence with the force of an aphorism, which is, perhaps, Dr. Plumer’s forte as a writer, is sometimes carried to a wearisome extreme. But the book is readable. It displays great inven tion and the most complete familiarity with Scripture, find is well calculated to do good. In a treatise on Providence sent firth at this-peculiar point in our country's history, one might expect some allusion to its won-1 dertul teachings in the overthrow of slavery and the crushing of a causeless and wicked rebellion, but the writer contents himself with mere generalities in discuss ing the bearings of the subject on the country in which hi 3 readers are most deeply interested. We fear his own eyes are not yet sufficiently enlightened to make him competent to give instruction to others. ] The paper and typography of the volume are very handsome.’ Christ the Wonderful; or, Lessons on the Miracles.

The Western Presbyterian—This paper, the organ of the middle party in the Synod of Kentucky, is to’.be removed, in a few weeks, from Danville to Louisville, arid it is to have new editorial supervision. Rev/ Hernan H. Allen, of Glasgow, Kentucky,: is to be the new editor. His antecedents, so far as known to us, are good. His votes, in the last Synod of Kentucky, place him among the uncom promising friends of our Church and the decided opponents of the divisive schemes of the Declaration and Testimony party. — Pres byter. Aid for Southern Pastors.—A series oi public meetings held in Louisville, a month ago, and heralded all over the North as hav ing the above object, turns out to be a move ment of sympathy for the schism atie —we •may say apostate—General Assembly of the South. One of the officers of the organiza tion, Mr. Morrison, attended the late meet ing of that Assembly, in Macon, carrying material aid, doubtless, to some of its mem bers. The Cincinnati Presbyter says: —‘‘It TS flow luny seem--eu-to jcrr-amtnTiii-,rw—'— Southern Church in the Work of Domestic Missions. To give our funds to enable the churches, of the Southern Presbyterian Church to support their pastors, L to accept the Southern declaration that our mission aries are not fit to go info the Southern field, that the South is not our field, and that it must be left to them. Our own Board needs all the home missionary money that we can raise. There are radical differences between us and S. S. Presbyterians, and it is of the greatest importance that our principles shall be diffused in the South as well as in the North. We must give the Gospel to those who wish to adhere to our Church, and we must send the glad tidings to the freedmen.” Ministerial Changes—Rev. George Min gins has accepted the appointment of Superintendent of Missions in connection with the New York City Mission and Tract Society.——Dr. McPheeters, notorious in St. Louis for his disloyal proclivities, _ and his troubles in the Church and State in conse quence, during the war, has been recalled by the Pine Street Church, St. Louis, to the pastorate. He has been pastor of a church in Shelby, Ky. We note one ordination in tfie U. P. papers. '• Churches.—The North Church, (0. S.) Allegheny, is a new enterprise, which has secured the services of Prof. A. A. Hodge, of the Western Theological Seminary, as pastor. He will be installed January 18, to day, alter which, says the Banner , Presby terians of both citieß will be called upon to contribute for the erection of a building. The other branch is rnaki ng quite a demon stration in Washington City and George town, D. C. During th ; ; year past, they have built three new edifices; the chapel on Capitol HUI, a chapel for Bridge Street Church, Georgetown, costing $12,000, pre sented by a prosperous elder in the church, and a church in the north of the Capital. A revival is mentioned in "the Island’’ church, where an enlargement is talked of. Two of these are new organizations within the year. Revivals—At S. Wilbraham, Mass:, a precious revival is in progress among the Bap tists, and a goodly number of persons give evidence of having passed from death unto life. On a recent evening, one hundred per sons were present at a meeting in a private house, and the power of God was manifest. The Church of Cadiz, Ohio, Presbytery of St. Clairsville, has received a great refresh ing from on high; 81 have just been added ou profession of faith, of whom twenty-five were baptized, and twenty-four of these were heads of families. The Lord hath done great things for this Church. In the Middle Tuscarora Presbyterian Church, Pa., there has been, and still is, a gracious work of the Spirit of God. More than sixty inquirers have been found, and of these more than thirty have expressed a hope in Christ. At the Presbyterian Church at Shade trap, Pa., in the same Presbytery, there are more than twenty inquirers, and the work is still going on The Presbyterian Church at Cohock sink, Philadelphia, is enjoying a delightful season of revival. There are sixty inquirers. Death —Rev. Charles Thompson, (U. P.) died at Olena, IU ; , of typhoid fever, Decem ber 31 He was in the prime of me. Congregational. —Sixty persons'are count ed unon for the organization of a new church in New York City- Rev. Lyman Abbott has been invited 'as - a temporary supply to the congregation.- A Congregational sonety of Haven, will leave for that city early in Janu- I ary, ana a church will be organized imme diately on his arrival. He will probably re main till the first of May, by which time it is hoped, that the enterprise will be fairly"on its legs. The house will seat about 600 people, and a chapel is connected with it. One of the members pledges $3,000 towards the church, and the Congregational Union is ex pected- to furnish liberal aid. —Religious Herald. Rev. Dana B. Bradford was re cently installed pastor at Randolph Centre, Vt., thus says the Recorder, happily, and in the Gospel manner, terminating a period of twenty years of stated and very uncertain supply, a practice that is so injuriously preva lent in our Vermont churches. The exami nation of the candidate elicited the fact, that though he had sometimes been inclined to the Arminian views, in regard to Divine Sovereignty in the' salvation of men, this had always been in a low state of spirituality, while an elevation of spiritual life in his own soul had led him to realize the necessity, the fitness, and the loveliness of this central truth. Plymouth Sunday-school (Mr. Beecher’s Church,) since the Ist of January, 1865, has contributed for various purposes the sum of $7,300.- The Recorder, understands - that! Rev. J. W. ,Wellman, of Newton Corner, Mass., has had a call from' a church in Phila delphia, at a salary of four thousand dollars. It id not known whether he will accept. The Boston churches contributed over $4l ,000 last year to the American Board.- The Church in Dubuque have cleared off a debt of ten thousand dollars, for which, two years ago, the building was about to be sold to the Roman Catholics. Rev. E. L. Cleveland, D.D., New Haven, has- had his salary raised from $2OOO to $3500, besides a New Year’s gift of $l5OO from his people. January 9, the annual sale of the pews in Henry Ward Beecher’s Church, Brooklyn, was held. The highest premium given was $4OO. The rent of the pew is $l2O. The income from the sales, it is expected-, will exceed $30,000.

As to ministers’ salaries, they are not high. Only one minister. Rev. Dr. Burt, of the Broad way Presby. Church, receives so much as $5OOO a year. The salary of Dr. Storrs, of the Seventh Street Congregational Church, is $3000; so also is that of Rev. Starr H. Ni chols, of the Tine Street Congregational Church. PREMIUMS FOR 1866.

Russell, Adjutant-General of the State of Pennsylva nia, in the 21st year of her age. Loss than three months have, passed away since the deceased stood at the altar of marriage, and plighted love and troth to the young husband who mourns over the dead, and one year ago on the first of Janu ary, 1865, she stood at the holier altar, and consecrat-’ ed her heart and life to her Redeemer. The marriage supper on earth was speedily supplanted by the mar riage supper of the Lamb oh high, and the white robe of the earthly festival, for the garments made white in the blood of the Lamb. To those who knew the departed best, her conver- 1 sion and public coufession of Christ seemed to make I but little change in a life already marked by gentle- I ness "and auiet affections. The work of Divine grace | could only be seen in a more subdued demeanor, ini her manifested love of the people of God, her consoi entious.discharge of. Christian duties, and in the un murmuring patience with which she hore an illness that soon foretold an early grave. The ties that bound her to earth were peculiarly strong, but she saw them breaking in quiet resignation, ana while others were grieving. over what seemed to be so untimely an end, ] she heard the summons of death without fear, saying, " What should I now do, had I not my Saviour to trust?” Peacefully and hopefully as she had lived, so passed she awayi leaving in-the household, the Church, and in society, the memory of an affection-. ate nature, chastened and beautified by the spirit of true religion.
