OUR LONDON LETTER,
London, January, 1866,
My Dear Sir; —Since I last wrote 19
you, the ferment caused by the speech
of Dr. Norman McLeod has not at all
diminished; but if anything, has rather
increased in intensity. The caricaturist
has been at work. But that you may
understand him, let me recall the facts
of the case. A proposition was made
in the Presbytery of Glasgow, of which
Dr. McLeod is a member, thht a pastoral
letter of the General Assembly, with
reference, among other things, to Sab
bath observance, be circulated among
their parishioners. Dr McLeod there
fore moved something—formal; and, in
doing so, made a set speech, full of quo
tations, and occupying many hours in
the delivery, in which be argued that
the decalogue qua decalogue was never
given to its at all; it was given only to
Jews, as Jews. “He never brought me
out of Egypt,” said the learned divine;
“ I never was in Egypt.” He proceeded
to argue that, while the principles of
the decalogue were binding on Christian
men, the decaloge itself qua decalogue
was buried in the grave of the Lord
Jesus Christ.
CARICATURE OF DR. JVI’LEOD.
The.caricaturist represents Dr. Mc-
Leod, first, in full costume, fat, large,
flabby, as eating up the ten tables of the
law, the brethren of the Presbytery
looking on with hair on end. The sec
ond caricature represents him in gown
and bands, presiding over a large dinner
given in London, where the bottles and
glasses are flying about in a most indig
nant manner. The third represents him
with blind spectacles on nose, sitting
on the great pyramid of Egypt, his feet
fast bound with a chain, and the legend,
“He never brought me out of Egypt.”
A fourth, represents him as the modern
Samson, with the gates of Gaza on his
back—the two tables of stone—crossing
over the Tweed, a quiet parish church
being behind him, and a large cathedral
in front. It is reported that* being
high in court favor, it is his desire to
leave the poor Established Church of
Scotland, to join her wealthy sister in
England, and to live and die a bishop.
Meanwhile the subject of the binding
action of the law of God is being dis
cussed in all pulpits. Hosts of sermons,
speeches, and pamphlets are being pub
lished on both sides. Each Scotch
newspaper is full of allusions to the con
troversy; it has even reached hither
ward in the bruit thereof, the Times
newspaper condescending to give its
readers a resume of the whole matter.
DR. TULLOCH.
Inclose connection with this, is the
parallel move of Dr. Tulloch, principal
of Mary’s College, St Andrews. He
delivered a lecture to one of the socie
ties connected with the Edinburgh Col
lege, and that essay, with some similar
remarks, addressed to some of his own
students, has also been published, and
is being commented on in very stern
and severe terms. The substance of
the panphlet is, "We are mighty men,
men of wisdom and acquirements in this
latter half of this nineteenth century;
we are making progress everywhere,
and in everything; in criticism, in lan
guage, in grammar, in theology we are
mightily in advance of our fathers; and
so it is high time that we readjusted
our relations to the Westminster Con
fession of Faith '■which has so long held
undisputed sway over us.” That is
what he says in substance, yet in a very
grandiose way. His followers, and
they are many, who have been
galled by subscription to the Confession,
interpret his meaning into, “ let ns do
away with' all creeds, all confessions,
and all catechisms of all sorts, West
minster and other;” and so the work of
demolition waxes on apace.
A THIRD COADJUTOR—DR. ROBERT LEE.
But these two Scots’ worthies need a
third to complete their work. They
have an able coadjator in the person, of
Dr. Robert Lee, professor of Biblical
Criticism in the University of Edin
burgh, who is also minister of the Old
Greyfriars Church, that famous church
where the Solemn League and Covenant
was signed. Dr. Lee has loDg been
famous, or rather infamous, for his inno
-1 vations. I have several times alluded
I to him in my former letters. I may as
; well finish him off, as. beyond doubt he
| has succeeded in making himself a his
-1 toric personage. He w,as the soh of a
!poor man in the town of Berwick oh
.Tweed. He received his early educa
tion at a free grammar school there;
went to the University of St. Andrews,
where he secured what is there called
a bursary— i. e., a scholarship. These
bursaries were then very small, not more
|than £lO a session; but Mr. Lee man
aged to struggle through—as many
poorer and bettermen than he have done,
t myself happened to occupy, many
rears after, the identical room in which
ie lived, and I used often to hear his
■ld landlady talk about him. I think
e was twice settled as a parish minis
er before fie was called, about the time
f the disruption, to the chair of Biblical
•riticism; which, by the way, was
mnded chiefly with a view to placing
|r. Candlish in it; and which, owing
| the disruption controversy, descended
j Mr. Lee, who was then minister 0 f
ampsie, a country parish not far from
dinburgh. At, or after the disruption,
' j succeeded - in getting hold also of a
jrish church—the Old GreyfriarS—and
treral other of the good tbiDgs of this
which then went a begging. ’ At
it, and for some time after he came to
Edinburgh, be was only known as a
clever, ibough somewhat shallow, and
very smart man ; calm, clear, but cold.
Shortly thereafter he issued a cheap
Bible-, with only the briefest marginal
notes and references. I remember to
have read one of the ablest articles I
ever read, in the Witness newspaper)
from the able pen of its well-known edi
tor, Hugh Miller, as a critique of Dr.
Lee’s editorial efforts. In that article,
it was demonstrated in the very clearest
and ablest manner, that the work was
the work of a Socinian. The proof was
so conclusive and so complete, that it
sealed the fate of the new edition of the
Bible, and stamped the editor in the
minds and memories of all thinking men,
as a Socinian. The Socinians of Edin
burgh were of the same opinion; for
their church there emptied as regularly
as that of Dr. Lee’s filled.
Years ago, he began bis innovations
by occasionally reading prayers in the
public worship of God, from a MS. By
aDd-by he printed a set of prayers ; and
finally they took the form of a book
which his congregation possessed them
selves of and used used regularly. The
next battle began about a harmonium
which he introduced into his church;
and after a weary battling to and fro,
that point, too, was more than gained,
for the harmonium is now displaced by
a costly Latterly, Dr. Lee has
issued a hew prayer-book—on the plea
that-he obeyed the former injunction of
the Assembly, and that the book be now
uses, is not the book he was ordered to
discontinue—he has introduced respon
ses, chants, and latterly he appears on
grand occasions in colored academic
robes. In short, the whole service is
made as like that of the Episcopal
Chnrch as possible. And the
the Edinburgh people were farther
statled by the announcement of a grand
marriage ceremony being “performed”
in the Old Grey friars, Dr. Robert Lee,
assisted- by his curate, being “ the cele
brant,” the organ playing somebody
or other’s—l dare say, Mendelssohn’s
wedding march. Private communions
are also common work in the hands of
this busy priest; and it is reported that
already he has very many admirers,
some say very many imitators, all over
the country.
ANOTHER CARICATURE.
The' 'caricaturist I mentioned before,
has a clever hit at the trio in a picture
called “ The Navvies.” Dr. Robert Lee
is displayed, surrounded with all man
ner of popish paraphernalia, and is
hounding on his two underlings, Princi
pal Tulloch, who is busy at the founda
tion of the Confession of Faith, while
Dr. McLeod is digging a deep hole for
the two commandments. The Dr. is
saying, " settle for the Confession, Tai
led), and I’ll soon put the commandments
out of sight.” Dr. Lee encourages with
“ work away my lads with a will, w’ell
soon make an end of the whole thing.”
The discussions are fierce and hot
everywhere all over tbe land, specially
in Scotland. Dr. Lee’s defence of him
self in the Presbytery of Edinburgh was
reported by some Scotch correspondent
in the Times, to which report, Dr. Cam
ming replied in a letter, containing, on
the whole, an able defence of our mode
of worship. The matter is discussed in
all forms, satire not being wanting. I
enclose you a poetic specimen cut from
a Glasgow paper.
A HOWL FROM ST. MUNGO.
Doctor N-rm-n 1 Doctor N-rm-n!
What is this you are about?
There is uproar in the churches,
In the very street a shout!
You have smitten root and branch, ’tis said,
The holy Sabbath day,
And spoken of the Decalogue
In most outrageous way —
In fact, have smash’d it utterly,
So every lad of mettle
May help himself to his master’s cash,
And leave his friends to settle.
And any free-and-easy man
Who likes his neighbor’s wife,
And finds that neighbor in his way,
May take the scoundrel’s life.
And such like things. ’Tis horrible!
’Tis worse than Fenian treason)
0 N-rtn-n of the Barony,
You must have lost your reason.
Yet, after all the botherment,
It seems it is an error,
And there was no occasion for
Each ancient woman’s terror.
Yon never meant to say at all
What people say you said ;
You meant a something, someway else,
Or t'other thing, instead.
The Decalogue “as qua” was this,
Without “as qua" was that;
So right about my merry men all,
For the mice have bell’d the cat.
And the Decalogue stands as it did,
By a very large majority—
And the Doctor will think twice again
Ere he question its authority.
“ St. Mungo,” your- readers may not
be aware, is the patron saint of Glasgow.
What has increased the ferment not a
little,is the factthat Dr. Norman McLeod,
who, as I said before, stands high in the
good graces of the Queen, was invited
to spend some days with her majesty at
Osborne House, where the Queen is at
present residiD g. It is argued the Queen
could not but know the offence Dr.
McLeod has given to all the best men in
his own Church, i nd to all the right
thinking people of Scotland, by his newly
propounded views on the Sabbath; and
her asking him up to visit her, is regard
ed* as little else than her stamping his
views and conduct with her authority.
Those who know the Queen best, know
that she follows her late husband blindly
in all that he said, thought, and did
and it is very welt known by those who’
knew him best, that his views of religi on
were thoroughly German, and that net
of the best type. Bat whatever he

thought was law to the Queen. She
goes the length of all but deifying him.
The Mausoleum, at Windsor, is little else
than a chapel where he is to be wor
shipped ; a lamp is kept 'burning there
night and day; and on set solemn
occasions “ religious service” is conduct
ed within its walls. But be all these
things as they may, it is manifest to all
thinking men that we are in a crisis, an
epoch when all things are shifting, slip
ping, to and fro, and just on the eve of
some very important change. The Lord
liveth and the Lord reigneth.
The weather has got to be wintry at
last. We have snow falling, and already
it is a foot deep in and around London.
So heavily and silently did it fall, and
lie, that it has fairly broken down all the
telegraph wires in and around London ;
and away down in the country, for miles
and miles, in all directions, we hear of
nothing but blocked up trains, and
broken telegraph wires. The ornamental
trees *in the gardens and parks are all
smashed with the weight of the snow,
and still tLe sky looks black and heavy
as if more were to come.
The cattle plague still pursues its way
with increasing-virulence and deadly
force. Each day displays, generally,
a whole page of the Times, filled with
reports from all counties, letters, sugges
tions, etc., but the result of all hitherto
is, that we stand confessedly powerless
before it. It comes and goes at its will.
It kills or passes by with a mysterious
uncertainty that paralyzes all thought.
“ This is the finger of God.”
The Fenian trials still drag their slow
and weary length along; but the inter
est of the public in these has all but
ceased. The woes of Ireland are few
and far between, the very cattle plague
which is ravaging England and Scotland
not having crossed the channel.
I might as well, while speaking of
the innovations in the Chnrch of Scotland,
have noted how rapidly the Church of
England is marching Romeward. This
last “ Christmas,” as it is called, the
Popish party in that Church have been
more bold, daring, brazen, and impudent
than ever. “Yestments” are now worn
without fear everywhere. The garb of
these ** Protestants” isnowidentical with
that of the Popish priests, and altars,
altar cloths, altar lights and flowers are
now mere commonplace. Incense is
now all the go—incense, processions
within the Church, with acolytes, cross
bearers, banner-bearers, and thurifers
are to be found in scores npon scores of
their churches. And in this diocese of
London, all thiß passes entirely un
challenged. The Bishop has given it as
his “ opinion” that a legal prosecution
would be resultless, or would give the
right to wear the very garments com
plained of, and so the Popish party wax
bolder and bolder daily. The Becord
newspaper utters a melancholy wail
now and then, one or two other papers
join in the cry; these cries get fewer
and farther between; the public have
got accustomed to it; it is a recognized
fact; is everybody’s business, and there
fore nobody’s, and there the mattertakes
end.
It may interest your readers to know
that a very able series of letters from
the South, your South, is being issued
in the Times. They are from a special
correspondent, who was sent out at the
expense of the proprietors of that paper
to report on the facts of the ease as they
appeared to him, as to the state and
condition of the South. These letters
are written by Mr. Lawrence Oliphant.
Mr. Oliphant is the only son of the late
Sir Anthony Oliphant, who was for
several years the chief justice of Ceylon,
and was knighted in that capacity. Sir
Anthony was a Scotchman, and a Pres
byterian, and I believe for several years
before be went out to Ceylon, a deacon
in Dr. Hamilton’s Church. He returned
to this country with a good pension,
accompanied by his wife, and this, their
only son, and only child. He remained
attached to the Presbyterian Church for
many years; but finally got erotchety,
and I believe, died* a Swedenborgian.
Lawrence was a doubter from the time
he landed in this country, and now'pro
fesses—nothing. He happened to travel
in Crimea just before ihe Crimean war
broke out—published his travels in the
very nick of time; made a good deal of
money, and got noted as a literary pos
sibility. Then he,was appointed by the
late Lord Palmerston to accompany Lord
Elgin to China and Canada, as private
secretary, and latterly he has settled
down in London as a literary man. At
the last general election, he was chosen
M. P. for the Stirling burghs in Scot
land; hut in the meanwhile, he is
"doing” your country as the Times' own
correspondent. There are many ups
and downs in this world; and this to me
is not one of the least remarkable and
unexpected of them. My paper com
mands me to stop; and so I say vale for
the present.
Yours, Philadelbhos.

Revivals —Rev Wm. H. Lyle writes
to the j Evangelist from Mt. Horeb, Tenn.
“We have just closed a protracted meet
ing at Mt. Horeb. The result is sixty
five professions. Fifty-one have already
united with our Church, and others will
unite in a short time. The Church has
been much edified.”
Rev. S. D. Taylor writes from Eden,
Erie county, N. Y., to the same paper,
that a protracted effort of sixty days has
just closed in that place. He says:
“ How many have been savingly convert
ed it is impossible to determine. I think
that as many as one hundred and twen
ty-five manifested special interest, either
by coming forward or rising for prayers.
A good many of our youth, and also a
number-of heads of families, give evi
dence of sound conversion. Many wand
erers have been reclaimed, and a favor
able religious impression made on the
minds of the community generally.”
The same paper says of Bergen, N.
Y. : : “ The religious interest here has ex
isted for some weeks, and some twenty
five to thirty, persons have hopefully ex
perienced its saving influence. Ten
were recently -received to the Church.
Thfe pastor, the Rev. Mr. Gardiner, has
performed most of the extra services.”
! Newburg, O. —-Rev. W. C. Turner
writes to the Herald: —“ We are in the
midst of a work of grace in our Church,
and have much to be thankful for. Sev
eral have been converted, and the work
goes on. The Methodist Church here
is also enjoying a revival.”
The churches of Chicago, says the
Herald's correspondent, appear to be
enjoying a genuine revival. Of our own
churches, the Third Presbyterian, Rev.
A. Swazey pastor, is most thoroughly
aroused. Itp meetings are. unusually
solemn and tender. The First and
Second Churches report an increase of
interest, with a few hopeful conversions.
. Calls, Installations, etc.— Rev. B.
St. John Page, of the First Church, Win
sted, Conn., has accepted a call to the
First Presbyterian Church in Milwaukie,
a very.important and promising field of
labor. Rev. Edward A. Pierce, late of
the Westminster Church, Chicago, was
installed pastor of Calvary Church, in
the same city, on Friday, Dec. 22. The
sermon was preached -by Rev. A.
Swazey, of the Third Church, Rev. Mr.
Mathews, of the Eighth Church, gave
the charge to the pastor, and Rev. Alfred
Eddy, of the Olivet Church, gave the
charge to the people. Mr. Pierce enters
upon his pastorate with many tokens of
encouragement, both spiritually and
financially At a recent administration
of the Lord’s Supper, fifteen were added
to the Church by letter from other
churches. Rev. J. D. Jenkins has
removed from Independence to Huron,
0., having accepted an invitation to sup
ply the pulpit of our Church in the latter
place. Rev. R. A. Sawyer has not
accepted the call to Dayton, as stated,
but-was dismissed from Newark that he
might ” entertain some propositions from
other churches which have been recent

East Orange, N. J. — The First Pres

Sabbath-schools in City and Country —A
correspondent of the Presbyterian Standard
says of the Sabbath-schools of Chicago: fifty
six and one-third per cent, of all the children
and youth included within the Common
School Law, are enrolled in these nurseries of
piety, where they may learn of Jesus and His
love. These are the figures respecting the
Protestant schfols; the Jews and Catholics
estimate the number in their schools at
about four thousand. In the twenty-eight
townships of this county outside of the city
there are thirteen thousand four hundred
and eighty-five persons between the ages of
six and twenty-one years, who are entitled to
the benefits of the Public School Fund. Here
also are seventy, one Sunday Schools, ten of
which were organized within the last twelve
months, through the agency of the American
Sunday School Union. In all these schools
there are only two thousand nine hundred
and thirty scholars enrolled; or only twenty
one and two-thirds per cent, of all included
within the common school law are reached
with the blessed influence of the Sunday
School.

READ! REELECT!! ACT!!I
TARRANT <& CO.
Gentlemen,
I am a resident of Curacoa.
and have often been disposed to write you concerning
the real value of your SELTZER APERIENT as a
remedy for Indigestion and Dyspepsia, I desire to
express to you my sincere gratitude for the great
benefit the SELTZER has done my wife.
For four or five years my wife has been sadly afflic
ted with Dyßpeps a, and after being under the treat
ment of several Doctors for two or three years, she
was finally induced to seek the advice of a learned
Physician, Doctor Cabialis,of Venezuela, who imme
diately treated her with your EFFERVESCENT
SELTZER APERIENT she began to improve at once
and is now PERFECTLY WELL.
I feel it to be my duty for the good of humanity to
makethis statement, feeling that a medicine so valua
ble should be widely known.
Trusting you will give this publicity, and repeating
my earnest gratitude and thanks. ■*
I am very respectfully yours.
