PRESBYTERIAN.
The English Presbytery of Lancashire
overturcd the Synod to devise measures for
the improvement of the Presbyterian Colleee
in London. The College has received a large
legacy. Rev. R. H. Lundie, for fifteen
years pastor at Birkenhead, has been trans
ferred to Fairfield. Salary in each church,
$2OOO. A new congregation is to be or
ganized at Shrewsbury, February 16th.
The Established Presbytery of Edin
burgh has been discussing, -with much ear
nestness, the bold and notorious innovations
of Dr. Robert Lee, who is desecrating Old
Grey Friars’ Church with all the trappings
of High Churchism. It was moved that a
committee be appointed 11 to make all neces
sary inquiry as to the use of a Book of
Prayers in the conducting of public worship
in the Church of Old Greyfriars,” notwith
standing a judgment of the General Assem
bly of 1859, ordering him to discontinue the
practice; and “to report, that the case
might be dealt with according to the injunc
tion ot the last General Assembly.” The
motion failed by a vote of 20 against 15.
Several members entered a complaint against
this action.
The Irish Presbyterians are at present
concerting measures for the erection of a
large ball in Belfast, in which the meetings
ox the General Assembly of the Irish Pres
byterian Church may be held. Dr. Edgar is
of opinion that the ladies who have taken
the matter in hand will require to raise from
£17,000 to £lB,OOO to meet the cost.
Presbyterian Settlement in New Zeal
and.—The correspondent of .the Weekly Re
view at Auckland, October 3, writes: “A
number of Presbyterians arrived here some
time ago, having special land orders, intend
ing to form a special settlement. They had
a block of land set apart for their appropria
tion. These worthy people have drawn out
a code of rules, called the rules of the ‘ Pollok
Special Settlement.’ They have adopted the
following as Rule 2: 1 That none shall be
admitted to the above mentioned settlement
who are not prepared to adhere to the re
ligious principles of the Scotch Presbyterian
Church, as contained in the shorter and
larger Catechism, the Confession of Faith,
the form of Presbyterian Church government,
and the Directories for public and private
worship which were compiled by the West
minster Assembly.’ ” He thinks these strin
gent rules will prevent the success of the
enterprise.
The Fulton St. Dutch Church, N. Y.—
The Consistory of the Collegiate Dutch
Church have voted to sell the materials of
the North Dutch Church, on the corner of
Fulton and William streets. This church is
one of the oldest in the city. It was built in
1792. It has been celebrated in all the world
as the spot on which the Daily Union Prayer
Meeting originated. The leeture-room will
not he torn down, but enlarged, so as to hold
500 persons.
Revivals. —The churches of Boston are
conferring in'relation to their spiritual inter
ests. The Recorder says the council was to
meet on Wednesday of last week. There
has been a series , of impressive Sabbath
eveningdiscourses by the different ministers,.
in the Essex Street Church, and there have
been special prayer-meetings in that church,
and several hopeful conversions, as perhaps
in several of the other churches. The
Evangelist, Rev. O. Parker, has' already
commenced revival efforts in the First. Pres
byterian Church, where he preaches every
evening.
The Oberlin News says that on the first
Sabbath of the year President Finney preached
from the text, “ Come, for all things are now
ready.” An invitation was extended to all
who were not Christians to come forward
and consecrate themselves to Christ. Pew
after pew was filled. They came from every
part of the house. Again, other seats were
vacated, and backsliders were invited to
come forward. Another exodus from the
falleries, and tears flowed freely as Christian
earts welcomed the returning prodigals. A
; third invitation called up all Christians who
' would reconsecrate themselves to their Mas
ter. The scene was one never to be forgotten.
The inquiry-meeting iff the evening was so
[ fully attended, that, for once, special individ
[ ual instruction had to yield to general speaking
to all.
Tbe First Presbyterian Churoh of Wil
mington Delaware, has enjoyed an exten
sive work of grace. Forty-one persons were
[added to the church on a late Sabbath, and
[others are inquiring the way to the Saviour,
[who it is hoped may hereafter be gathered'
[into his fold.
The Pres. Banner of Jan. 25 says:—Last
Sabbatn week nineteen were received on pro
fession of faith in the church of Bridgewater,
Presbytery of Allegheny City; twelve in the
[church or East Liberty, Presbytery of Ohio —
[among these were six heads of families; and
[fourteen in *the Sixth Fresbyterian Church of
Pittsburgh. The church of Pleasant Sun,
near Cincinnati, has, in connection with the
exercises of the week of prayer, enjoyed a
season of ‘refreshing. Nineteen persons, at
their late communion, were added to the
church on examination. The church at
Earlville, in the Presbytery of Chicago, and
the pastoral charge of the Rev. John TJstick,
is enjoying a precious season of revival. The
Spirit is there in his converting power, and
many souls have already been led to embrace
Christ as he is freely offered in the Gospel.
Sixty-one persons were added to the
Presbyterian church in Chester, Pa., on a
recent Sabbath —thirty-nine by profession of
faith, and twenty-two by certificate. A num
ber of those admitted by profession of faith
were baptized, and the scene, when all these
Stood up before the large congregation and
confessed Christ, w:;s solemn and exceedingly

pews in Henry Ward Beecher’s church at
Brooklyn will seat only 1749 persons, though
the house is supposed by many to seat as
many as 3000. By a council called in New
Haven, December 27, 1865, of which Rev.
Dr. Bacon was Moderator, and Rev. G. W.
Noyes, Scribe, a church of sixty-six members
was organized under the care of Rev. O. H.
White, called the West Congregational
Churcb of New Haven.
German Reformed —Domestic Missions. —
There are fifty missions under the care of the
Board —an increase ot seventeen during the
; rear. Three of those last year reported have
become self-sustaining. Nineteen new sta
tions have therefore been established by the
Board during the past twelve months. Re
ceipts of contributions during the year,
$BBB5 26. Balance in the Treasurer's hands,
! 5233 27. The Cburch Extension Fund, a
part of the operation of this Board, amounted
to $lO,lll 37, which has been expended in
relieving feeble churches. The German
Reformed Church has four hundred and sev
enty-six ministers, eleven hundred and thirty
four congregations, and eighty-nine thousand
one hundred and fifteen communicants.
There are five collegiate institutions underits
auspices, three in Pennsylvania, one in Ohio,
and one in North Carolina; and two theolo
gical seminaries, besides a mission house for
the preparation of missionaries, in Wisconsin.
The denomination is represented in the press
by four English and four German news
papers. Their Theological Review, the Mer
cersburg, has been given up.
Baptist.—The National Baptist of this
city, chronicles the fact, that in eight in
stances within five weeks the children of min
isters have received the ordinance of baptism
fron the hands of their fathers. The Rev.
Frank B. Rose, (formerly a cleryman in con
nection with the Methodist Episcopal Church)
were received, January sth, into EnOn
Chuch of this city, and baptized by the pas
tor, Rev. Wm. S. Hall. At Elimsport,
Pa., a new'lndependent Baptist Churcn of
forty-three members, was recognized by a
council, December 26. The American
Baptist Missionary Association has opened a
mission in Sweden. In Germany, their pro
gress is not very encouraging, though there
is no reason for despondency. It is said that
throughout Germany, nearly two thousand
were converted and baptized in 1864, by the
personal effort of the individual members of
the churches Three-fourths of the current
ecclesiastical year have passed, and but one
third of the amount needed by the Baptist
Board of Foreign Missions has been paid in.
It will require $lOO,OOO within the next three
months if the year is to close without a de
ficit.
FOREIGN.
Episcopal Patronage.—The first piece of
Church preferment which has fallen to the
disposal of the new Premier is the valuable
rectory of St. Mary’s, Braynston. Earl Rus
sell has given it to the Rev. W. H. Freman
tle, M.A., of Balliol College, and the Record
makes great lamentation over the appoint
ment, represents “ the sceptical party in the
as “ hailing the appointment as a
contrast, to those ot Lord. Palmerston,”
though it is “ reluctant to believe”’that Mr.
Fremantle “has irrevocably cast in his lot
with the Essayists and Reviewers, or their
champion, the Dean of Westminster.” He
is married to the youngest daughter of the
late Sir Culling Eardley.
Queen Victoria a Sabbath-school Teach
er.—Queen Victoria, when at home, regu
larly teaches a Sabbath-school and Bible
class for the benefit of those residing in the
palace. How attentive she is to her own
children, may be inferred from a late pleasing
circumstance. The Archdeacon of London
on one occasion was catechising the young
princes, and being surprised at the accuracy
of their answers, said to the youngest Prince,
“ Your governess deserve great credit for in
structing you so thoroughly in the catechism. ’ ’
Upon which the boy responded, “0 but it
is mamma who teaches us the catechism.”
Many American mothers may take a profita
ble hint from this'queenly practice.
Bishop of London’s Fund.— A return has
been prepared'in reference to the operation
of this fund since its establishment up to the
end of 1865. It appears that grants have
been made for thirty-seven churches, eighteen’
schools, nine parsonage-houses, ana for the
purchase of twenty-eight sites for such build
ings, either wholly or partially, by means of
this fund. Of, these, thirty-seven churches,
sixteen have been conseefated, six are being
built, and the works forthe others will be be
gun as soon as sufficient funds are raised. Of
the churches thus aided twelve have already
been endowed by the Ecclesiastical Commis
sioners. The grants for churches amount to
£41,000., for schools to £9650, for parson
ages to £l6OO, and for the purchase ot sites
to £23,424. The grants tor churches will
provide or assist in providing 36;500 church
sittings, of which 24,000. will be free. The
total number of mission districts for which
grants have been made is eighty-two. Eighty
missionary -clergymen and thirty-five lay
agents are employed in these mission districts
under grants from the fund. In fifty-six of
these districts, grants have been made for
either one or more of these objects—sites,
burldings, rent, or fitting of mission rooms.
Of the quarter ef a million already subscribed
among the 3,000,000 inhabitants of London
in support of the Fund, exactly one-half is
, given by ninety persons.
A PRACTICAL MEMORY.
A clergyman in Wiltshire, walking near
a brook, observed a woman washing wool in
a stream. This was done by putting it in
a sieve, and then dipping the sieve in the
water repeatedly, until the wool became
white and clean. He engaged in conver
sation with her, and from some expression
she dropped, asked her if she knew him.
“ O yes, sir,” she replied, “ and I hope I
shall have reason to bless God to eternity,
for having heard you preach at W
some years ago; your sermon was the means
of doing me great good.”
“ I rejoice to hear it; pray what was the
subject?”
“ Ah! sir, I can’t recollect that, my me
mory is so bad.”
“ How, then, can the sermon have done
you so much good, if you don’t remember
even what it was about ?” ’ -
. “ Sir, my mind is like this sieve; the
sieve does not hold the water, but* as the
water runs through, it cleanses the wool;
so my memory does not retain the words I
hear, but as they pass through my heart, by
God’s grace they cleanse it. Now I* no
longer love sin, and every day I entreat
my Saviour to wash me in His own blood
and to cleanse me from all sin.” ’
Truly a practical memory is the besi
memory.

REPORTING INDECENT TRIALS.
There are, of course, a great many differ
ent notions of the proper mode of conduct
ing a newspaper that goes into the family
circle, and which, to a large extent, edu
cates its readers for good or for evil. This
any one can understand, for people differ
A even about matters of religious practice.
But we never could understand how respect
able men in decent standing in society can
reconcile it with any kind of sense of duty
to fill their newspapers with the indecent
details of divorce suits, and crim. con. trials.
For five or six weeks past, a number of the
New York journals, of large circulation and
influence, have bad from' three to six
columns daily of such matter, growing out
of a suit for divorce between a man named
Strong and his wife. The particulars were
of the most disgusting and demoralizing de
scription, and such as could not be read by
young people without doing damage, or by
old persons without wonder that respectable
men should make such conspicuous parade
of such nauseous stuff.
As to the parties engaged in the suit, it
is hard to believe them to be sane people.
Why they ever took their trouble and shame
into a public court, it impossible to conceive.
Both were sure to suffer irreparable damage,
and neither could hope to accomplish any
desirable purpose. The characters and peace
of mind and future prospects of a father,
daughter, husband, wife and brother were
all hopelessly involved; and, worse than
all, a family of innocent and interesting
little children were doomed to shame through
all the rest of their lives. If, ever there
was a case which should have been buried
in the deepest recesses of privacy, this was
one. Both plaintiff and defendant seem to
have been deeply censurable in their con
duct, and neither was in condition to cast
thefirst stone at the other; yet both blindly
and obstinately went into court, paraded
their shame before hundreds of thousands
of people, and without result, for neither
one of them got a verdict. There are family
troubles and disgraces that should be kept
within the family circle, which must be en
dured because they cannot be cured, and
this Strong case was full of troubles and
disgraces of that kind. But whenever the
parties are so unwise or so wicked as to ex
pose them unnecessarily in public trials,
newspapers that go into the family circle
should rigidly exclude the indecent and
mischievous particulars from their columns,
and not make a parade of them, as these
New York journals did. —Philadelphia
Ledger.
THE IMPERIAL FORCE OF FAITH.
General Sherman, in his letter to Gene
ral Grant, congratulating him on his pro
motion to the supreme command, refers the
victories of his leader to “ the simple faith
in success” which he “ always manifested,”
and which, he adds, “ I can liken to noth
ing else than the faith a Christian has in
the Saviour.” «If Gen. Sherman is fully
persuaded in the spirit of the great truth
which his intellect thus apprehends, he is
a happy man; for that is to be a Chris
tian, and to know what Jesus meant, when
he said : £i AU. things whatsoever ye shall
ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.”
Unbelief has well nigh succeeded—
Christian unbelief, we mean—in divesting
humanity of the cbiefest gift that came into
the world with the Son of God. He brought
divine power down to man, and gave into
his hand the very thunderbolts of God.
The only condition was Faith—a faith of
which "He set the example, and proved the
possibility. A few, at first, under the
stimulus of his presence, and the calm en
couragement of his mighty acts, done in
divine serenity, took him at his word, and
wrought such wonders, that He exclaimed,
in the transport of Deity : “I beheld Satan,
like lightning, fall from heaven 1" But
faith began to fail, as the so-called Age of
Miracles passed away. Why do we not al
ternate the phrase, and speak of it, some
times, as the Age of Faith ? At last, faith
became almost fabulous—so much so, that
when, in our own times, such a man as
Muller begins again to walk on the water
to go to Jesus, like Peter, half the Church
openly denounce him as a madman, and
the other half, with suspicious silence and
non-committal, wait, almost anxiously, to
see his faith fail, and his sinking seem to
justify their own apathy and unbelief. The
consequence of this lapse of faith is, that
some of the most glorious passages in the
Word of God have been utterly denuded,
and left, for all practical uses to men, like
dry, dead branches upon that Tree of Life.
That simple assurance—than which noth
ing farther from merely p >etic or figurative
language was ever uttered by the Saviour
—“ If ye have faith as a grain of mustard
seed, ye shall say to this mountain, Re
move hence to yonder place, and it shall
remove;” with others of like character—
has come, by the sheer laziness of Christ’s
followers, to be set down as symbolic, and
so, because if symbolic it means nothing,
has been lost almost as completely as if it
never had been spoken.
Let us look, for a moment, at a wonder
ful scene which appeared upon the Lake
of Galilee -more than eighteen hundred
■years ago, and see if we can enter into its
spirit —above all, endeavoring to realize
that it was a fact.
A few fishermen were crossing this lake
in an open boat —one of their number, their
leader, laying in the stern, -asleep like a
child. The others watched anxiously, for
a storm was rising. Soon it came, and
waxing into sudden fury, as was character
istic of the tempests on that lake, tossed
the boat oh its billows like an egg-shell.
In the language of one who narrated the
scene: “ There arose a great storm of
wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so
that it was now full.” No element of con
ceivable human terror, or danger, would
seem to have been lacking. A little boat,
overcrowded, helmless, all possible control
of it gone, tossed amid waves mountain
high, and full of water—what condition
could be more frightful and helpless ? To
such a, scene as this, the sleeper, from a
slumber full of peace, opened his eyes at
the affrighted call of his companions- But
the terror, coming so suddenly before him,
could not take him by surprise, or throw
Ms serenity off its g uard - He rose > and
looking out on the storm, spoke to the
angry elements in a man’s voice: “He
rebuked the wind, and said to the - sea,
Peace, be still.” Then, as the wind im
mediately ceased—so rebuked that it blew
not even in a zephyr’s breath, but subsided
to “ a great'calm”—he turned to his trem
bling companions, and asked: <( Why are
ye so fearful ? How is it that ye have no
faith?”
Hast thou never, Christian brother, in a
day. of deliverance, heard, as spoken to thy
self, this second rebuke, and felt that the
unbelieving heart was more incorrigible
than all the warring elements of nature ?
.And has it not roused thee, for a moment,
into a possibility of the faith which was
enjoined —into a confidence in Jesus’ word,
that might then have enabled thee to grasp
his fullest- promise ? O, that we might
attain so much that we could awake faoe to
face with any perplexity, and with un
doubting simplicity and faith confront it,
and control it. “If ye have faith and
doubt not,” said He who could be touched
with the feeling of our infirmities, on an
other great occasion of power, “ye shall
not only do this which is done to the fig
tree, but if ye shall say unto this mountain,
"Be thou removed, and be tbou cast into the
sea, it shall be done.”
Let us take the example of our chief
soldier, which was at first cited, as an il
lustration of the imperial,- irresistible force
of faith, and consider what victories are
possible to him who is permitted, by the
express word and ordinance of the Al
mighty, “ to have power, as a prince with
God and man,” and to prevail. Let us no
more be faint-hearted, by reason of unbe
lief ; but taking hold of the promises, enter
into the prerogative of the children of
God. Let us go no longer bowed down by
physical infirmity, which controls us who
ought to control it, and with a pitiable fear
live a daily death in bondage. Let us
assert the spiritual power which, lost in the
fall of the first Adam, was recovered in the
promise and confirmed in the advent of the
second, and is now the unquestionable in
heritance of all who accept His great salva
tion.—Examiner and Chronicle:
ANTICIPATIONS FOR OUR COUNTRY.
This country has but just begun its un
surpassed career. The time may not be
distant when every industrious worker in
these United States will live in a house
famished with all comforts, able to educate
his children, take his newspaper, have his
church-pew, enjoy his holiday and travel;
when every town larger than a hamlet will
hold rail connection with the whole coun
try, and- communication hy telegraph with
the'whole world; when all our roads and
bridges will be suburban; when light furnish
ed nightly from subterranean seas of oil will
illuminate every house; when fuel will be
abundant; when the national debt will be
paid,, and the surplus income be expended
in pjiblic improvements; when libraries,
lecture halls and art galleries will be estab
lished in each county-seat, and when the
means will so abound of spreading civil
ization throughout the world, that ship
loads of mechanical wares and printing
presses will leave for Asia and Africa, at
once the evidence of our prosperity, and
the token of our Christian charity.
We anticipate an equal moral progress—
a nobler sentiment in politics; purity at
the ballot box; integrity in trade; order
in the streets; safety from mob violence,
and disuse of profanity;. when intemper
ance is'expurgated by the combined forces
of moral and of legal suasion; when the
Sabbath is universally observed- as the
heaven-appointed day for rest, Christian
intercourse, religious education of the
children, spiritual culture and Divine wor
ship, and when the Holy Spirit is poured
out with Pentecostal fulness. Then, the
bigotries which alienate different denomi
nations will drop away and we shall see eye
to eye. I do not anticipate a fusion of
sects. Benefits connected with different
sects cannot be supplied by advantages
accruing from one great Protestant denomi
nation. I am not clear that it would be
desirable, for the Presbyterian denominations
to reunite. But what is desirable consists
in such accord between denominations that
the prosperity of each shall be the concern
of all, that ground occupied and well culti
vated by one shall be regarded as pre
empted ; that two or three feeble churches
shall gather into one strong churcji, whose
statement of belief and government shall
be sufficiently comprehensive to enlist the
response of all true Christians; that the
militant spirit in the Church shall gird on
its armor, not against the friends of Christ’s
kingdom, b.ut against Satan and his rebel
lion, and that in consequence, diverse de
nomination's shall only provoke unto love
and to good works. Such is the Church of
the future,’such is the true idea of Christian
union, such is the higher plane of broad,
generous and iraternal liberality, upon
which we hope to see marshalled the soldiers
of the Cross!— Rev. Henry Fowler.
DISEASES OF OVERWORKED MEN.
Time was the very phrase, “ dis
eases of overworked men,” would have been
considered foolish and out of the question.
Now it conveys a truth of national import
ance, which the nation must consider.
From being a comparatively idle world; we
have of late become an insane world on the
subject of labor. So long as the muscles
merely were employed, so long little harm
was done; we remained but men; now we
aspire to be as gods, and we pay the forfeit
of our ambition. From overwork we now
get a class of disease the most prolonged,
the most fatal. The suns of our best men
go down at noon; and so accustomed to the
phenomenon are we, that we cease to regard
it as either strange or out of place. It is
through the mind now that the body is
destroyed by overwork; at all events, it is
so mainly- The men of intense thought,
men of letters, men of business who think
and speculate, men of the State who are
ambitious to rule, —these men sacrifice
themselves. With them the brain has not
merely to act on its own muscles, bidding
them perform their necessary duties ; but
the one brain must needs guide a hundred
other brains, and all the muscles thereto
appended. An electric battery works a
single wire from the city tu Brighton, and
does its work well, and goes on for some
months before it is dead or worn out. Can
it do the work of a hundred wires ? 0
yes, it can ; but' it must have more acid,
must wear faster, and will ultimately die
sooner. We may protect the plates, make
the battery to an extent self-regenerate as
the body is ; but, in the main, the waste is
in excess of the supply, and the wear is
certain.

Gentlemen,
~ I am a resident of Curacoa,
ana Have often been disposed to write yon concerning
ithe real valne 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.
Fot four or five years my wife has been sadly afflic
ted with Dyspepsia, 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 Cahialis, 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
make this statement, feeling that a medicineso valua
ble should be widely known.
Trusting you will give this publicity, and repeating
my earnest gratitude and thanks.
I am very respectfully yours.
