AN AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN
TER IN ENGLISH PARISH PULPITS,
A number of American papers have
published, in gratulatory terms, the fact
that the Rev. 0. B. Bidwell, a member
of the Third Presbytery of New York,
and for the term its Moderator, had
preached in several parish churches in
Lincolnshire. The statement would
seem to have given offence to some Epis
copalians, and has led to inquiry, the re
sult of which is stated (by the Colonial
Church Chronicle) in the following ex
tract of a letter from the Bishop of Lin
coln :
" I thank you for being good enough to
call my attention to this American report. I
find that a Rev. Mr. Bidwell, described as an
American clergyman, preached at Whaplode,
on Sunday morning, October 29, and again
in the evening, for S. P. G. The- weather
being bad and the congregation small, and
the sermon being unusually effective, the
Vicar requested him to preach again the next
Sunday morning for the same Society. This
he did, and preached for the same, cause at
Holbeach in the evening. Mr. Francklin, the
Vicar of Whaplode, assures me that he fully
believed that Mr. Bidwell was Episcopally
ordained in America, and. that he did not for
a moment entertain a doubt that he was an
Episcopal clergyman. The case is, therefore,
the too common one of culpable neglect of the
50th Canon, but has no bearing at all on the
admission of Presbyterian ministers into the
pulpits of the Church of England.

THE MONTH OF ECCLESIASTICAL As-
SEMBLIES.—Daring the present month,
four Presbyterian General Assemblies
hold their annual meetings—the New
and Old School Assemblies in St. Louis;
that of the United Presbyterian Church
in Pittsburg, and of the Cumberland
Presbyterian Church in Alton, 111. Three
General Synods also bold their meetings
—the Reformed Presbyterian Church in
Xenia, 0.; the Reformed Dutch Church
in New York. and Evangelical Lutheran
Church in Fort Wayne, Ind. Four
Congregational State Associations are
held—those of Michigan, Kansas, Illi
nois, and lowa. There is no doubt that,
in view of the recent spiritual manifes
tations, these meetings generally will be
of as high interest as any which have
been known in the history of these
bodies.
SUMMER OLOTRINCL-A. self-denying,
earnest laborer, a veteran, still at work
in a Western State, preaching almost at
his own charges, deeds a box of summer
clothing. He is slender and five feet
ten or eleven inches in height. Any
thing sent to the Presbyterian House to
meet the case will be forwarde&to him.
Will not our friends, who can do so,
send what will be useful immediately ?

MORE GOOD NEWS FROM WASHING
TON, D. C.—A business letter recently
received from a member of the Fourth
" The protracted service
Church, says :
in our Church (the Fourth Presby
terian, Dr. J. C. Smith's) is still in suc
cessful progress. It commeced the 22d
of last October, more', than six months
ago, and every meeting is about as nu
merously attended as ever and highly
interesting. More than one hundred
have been added to the Church• since
last December, whilst the old members
have been greatly refreshed and strength
ened for better service in the future.
Our excellent pastor is one of the most
indefatigable men I ever saw ; full of
the right spirit, and always ready for
any good word and work. I wish there
were more men of his spiritual vigor and
earnestness in the ministry, then would
the ark of the Lord move on.' God
will bless well-directed and earnest work.
Whenever His people work and pray,
and pray and work, in the spirit of a
living faith, the legitimate result will
follow, viz.: the conversion of souls. All
the good which has resulted from our
protracted service is not confined to our
Church. Both ministers. and laymen
from abroad, who have visited our meet
ings, have caught the spirit, and carried
it to their homes where it has resulted
in the conversion of multitudes. One
of our members visited Raleigh, N. C.,
on business, started a prayer-meeting,
and a powerful revival followed which
is still in progress. Thus we see the
reciprocal benefits of a revival of religion.
If Christians would be as vigorous, earn
est, and efficient in their efforts to carry
out the practical duties of Gospel truth,
as the men of the world are in their
'enterprises, wby would not revivals be
in constant progress ?"
THE SECOND MANTUA PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCH has recently enjoyed the tokens
of Divine favor. With only twenty
three communicants in regular attend
ance, their services have been well sus
tained.
Last Sabbath seventeen were admitted
to the communion of the Church on pro
fession of their faith in Christ, and sev
eral by letter. Their Sabbath-school is
very flourishing ; its numbers being lim
ited only from want of a larger house.
If any person, having the grace of God
in the heart, is desirous of assisting
a feeble congregation, we would take
this opportunity to recommend this
locality as very auspicious. The con
gregation greatly need pecuniary aid in
the erection of a large chapel.
WEST CHESTER.—At the communion
in Rev. W. E. Moore's church, on the
29th ult., thirty-five were received on
profession of their faith, making a total
of fifty-seven thus received since the
commencement of the year.
BUTTADO, N. Y.—A correspondent of
the Evangelist writes in relation to the
Lafayette Street Church, (Dr. Hea
cock's,) of that city :—" The last com
munion Sabbath in this church was
such a day, when fifty of those who
lately had consecrated themselves to the
Saviour united with the church. Many
others of the same class postponed till
the ensuing sacramental occasion taking
a similar step, while not far from forty
persons converted at the same time,
members of the other Presbyterian con
gregations, have since united with the
different churches. The distinct features
of this work have been the evident
guidance of pastor and people by a
Divine hand, and the honoring by the
Holy Spirit of the preaching of the Gos
pel. The usual daily prayer, and semi
weekly inquiry-meetings, for personal
conversation on the subject of religion,
together with a word of direct personal
address by the pastor to each impeni
tent person present, at the close of each,
and evening preaching services have con
stituted the means used."
ACCESSIONS.—The church in Haver
straw, N Y., has just received to its
communion, by profession, twenty-four
persons, each member of the session
having either a son or a daughter among
the number.--,To the church in Lacon,
111., forty have been added.--The Sab
bath-school connected with our Church
in West Creek, Ind., has enjoyed a re
vival, and eight or the children have
been admitted to the communion.--
Rev. D. E. Pierce, pastor in Ripley, 0.,
has since the commencement of the
year received to his church, by profes
sion, seventy-one persons, and the in
terest still continues.—The church in
Omaha, Nebraska, has just been en
larged by an addition of twenty-nine
members, of whom twenty-three were
admitted on profession --In Lockland,
0., thirty-eight have united on profes
sion—among them the principal of the
public school, a gentleman of culture
and refinement „lirho has ranged,, v, , the
whole field of skepticism, together` with
his entire family.-- r -On the first Sab
bath of March fourteen persons were
admitted to the Presbyterian Church in
Brooklyn, Cal., under the care of Rev.
Geo. Pierson. Thirteen were received
on profession of their faith—the first
fruits of the recent special interest.--
Twenty-one, mostly by profession, have
been added to the church in Neoga,
and fifty-two, of whom twenty-seven
come on profession, to the church in
Tuscola, in the same State--The ac
, cessions at Peru, Ind., since January 1,
have been twenty-one The pastor, Rev.
F. S. McCabe, has been laid aside by
sickness for several weeks.
MORE OF THE GOOD NEws.—Our
church in Maumee City, is now in the
midst of a wonderful work of grace.
Many have been hopefully converted,
most all of them young men, and women
who have grown up under the regular
preaching of the word, and in the Sab
bath school. It has been indeed delight
ful to mingle in such meetings, and occa
sionally take part in the work.— Chris
tian Herald.
PRESBYTERIES.
THE PRESBYTERY OF WABASH seems
net now to be on the flood-tide of pros-
perity in the matter of ministerial sup
ply. At its annual meeting recently,
held in Tuscola, DI., Mr. John B. Brant,
a licentiate laboring in Neoga, was or
dained to the full work of the ministry,
with a view to the continuance of his
work in that place, where the Lord bas
lately wrought salvation ihrongh his
instrumentality. .At the same meeting,
arrangements were made for the settle
ment of.two pastors, Rev. C. P. Fetch
at Danville, and Rev. E. Black at Tus
cola. Still another call—that of Shel-
byville for Rev. D. Dimond—has been
made, but was delayed in reaching Pres
bytery, and so remains to be acted upon.
A correspondent of the Christian Her
ald says of that field, that the people
are tired of changes, and now demand
a settled ministry.
KANsAs.—The Presbytery of Kansas
held its spring sessions in Lawrence,
and while together, ordained a pastor
for our church there—Mr. G. F. Chapin,
whose labors there as a licentiate for
some time past, have given great satis
faction. The Presbytery took up the
subject of the ecclesiastical non-resi
dence of ministers coming into the State
and laboring with the churches, and
adoped a resolution requesting the Per
manent Committee on Home Missions
not to re-commission any Home Mis
sionary in Kansas who shall not, during
one year's, residence within our bounds,
become a member of this Presbytery,
unless providentially prevented. The
Presbytery also struck from its roll the
name of Rev. J. Y. A. Woods, who, h it
appears, came in on fraudulent papers
from a Congregational Association, and
then left in a disorderly manner and
connected himself with the Old School
Presbytery of Topeka.
THE PRESBYTERY OF MADISON, at its
recent meeting in Rising Sun, Ind., or
dained as evangelists Mr. Henry S.
Little, a licentiate of its own, and Mr.
Thomas F. Chafer, a licentiate of the
Presbytery of Cayuga. Mr. Little makes
the third son of Rev. Henry Little in
the ministry, and the fourth is now i n
his studies as a candidate. The father
is now in the pride of his services,
working like a Christian hero in revi
vals and general evangelization.
Rituriron.—At the late meeting of the
Presbytery of Monroe, (Mich.,) after a
spirited discussion, a memorial to the
ti.ssembly was unanimously
a sking that some definite actio n
adopted, General
should be taken towards an ultimate re,

union of the two branches of the Pres
byterian Church in this country ; sug
gesting what might be, but respectfully
submitting what action, if any, shall be
taken, to the wisdom of the Assembly.
INTERESTING SERVlCES.—Yesterday
was an interesting occasion at the First
Presbyterian Church. Rev. Dr. D'?.ffield
filled the pulpit in the morning ; his
son, Rev. Geo. Duffield, Jr., of Gales
burg, Illinois, in the afternoon, and his
grandson, Rev. Samuel W. Duffield, in
the evening. We do not recollect of
ever hearing of sermons being preached
in the same church, on the same day, by
representatives of three different gene
rations of the same family.—Detroit
Tribune, April 30th.
ORDINATION OF AN EVANGELIST.—The
Third Presbytery of New York, on the
25th ult., ordained Mr. David W. Evans
to the Gospel ministry. Rev., Mr. Kel
logg, of the University Place Church,
preached the sermon ; Rev. T. Ralston
Smith gave the charge, and James D.
Wilson offered the ordaining prayer.
CALIFORNIA.—Dr. H. M. Scudder, of
the Howard Street Presbyterian Church,
San Francisco, will give the avails of
his very interesting lectures on India,
to the new edifice soon to be erected on
Mission street, by his congregation.
The plans for the building are now
ready. It is intended to seat 1200
people.—Pacific.
PERSONAL.—Rev. F. A. Spencer has
been appointed Correspoding Secretary
of the New York State Temperance So
ciety, with his headquarters at Syra
cuse ; where also his correspondents will
address him.----Bev. E. L. Hurd, who
has for some time past resided at Gales
burg,- 111., has returned to make his home
among his former people at Augusta,
111. Rev. Martin Post, from Kalama
zoo Presbytery, a son of - Dr. Post, of
Logansport, Ind„ and a nephew of Dr.
Post, of St. Louis, has taken charge of
the church at Sterling, Wis.---Rev. T.
-11. Dawson of the Graduating Class,
Auburn Theological Seminary, has re
ceived an unanimous call to, become
pastor of the Presbyterian church at
Lewisburg, Union Co., Pa. Salary

Installation.—Rev. M. C. Sutphen, late
of Philadelphia, was installed as associate
Pastor of the Scotch Presbyterian church in
this city, on Sabbath evening last. Rev. Dr.
Dickinson preached the sermon, Rev. Dr.
McElroy gave the charge to the pastor, Rev.
Mr. Phraner to the people, Rev. Dr. Shedd
offered the prayers.—N. Y Obs.
Princeton Theological Seminary.—The
closing exercises of the Princeton Seminary
were held week before last, when fifty-three
young men wooed- an tulmirable_exainmation
and received diplomas, having completed
their three years' course at this institution.
This is one of the largest classes ever gradu
ated at Princeton. The address to the gradu-
ating class was by Rev. Dr. Sprague, of A
bany.
Death of a Minister.—Rev. Isaac, Shook,
a minister of the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church, and.one of the editors of the Ban
ner of Peace, died April 11. He was a ven
erable and influential tuiniAer of his Church,
which he had served fur more than forty
years.

PRESBYTERIAN.
Rev. N. C. Burt, D.D., of Cincinnati,
asked and obtained leave of absence from his
church for .one year, to travel in foreign lands
and recruit his health.
Second Presbytery of Philadelphia.—
This Presbytery (0. S.) occupies the field of
the towns and rural districts north of the
city. The narrative of the state of religion
made out at i 6 last meeting, says ;---" It
gives us the highest satisfaction to retard the
revivals with which many of our churches
have been blessed, and are now being favored.
The churches of Norristown and Providence,
Port Kennedy, Chestnut Hill, Frankford,
Bristol, Bridesburg, Neshaminy 2 Pottstown,
and Catasaqua, have been specially favored
with large additions at every communion, and
still goodly numbers are waiting , to connect
themselves with the people oi God. These
revivals have specially magnified and Mus
t trated God's covenant mercy to his Church,
in that the majority of their subjects are the
baptized lambs, the children of parental
vows, faith, and prayers."
St. Louis Convention.—We are requested
to state, that the Convention for prayer and
conference, called to meet at St. Louis on
the 15th of May, prior to the meeting of the
General Assembly, will assemble at 8 o'clock
P. M. of that day, iri the Lecture-room of
the Second Presbyterian Church, on the cor
ner of Fifth.and Walnut streets, St. Louis.
Delegates to the Convcation will find a com
mittee at the lecture-room during the day,
and in the evening, who will provide for their
accommodation. —O. S. Paper.
Revivals.—Twelve persons were recently
received into the Twelfth Presb. Church,
Baltimore, (the Rev. Mr. Maxwell's), on
-examination. Others in the congregation
are inquiring.—A precious revival has
visited the church of Barnesville, Presbytery
of St. Clairsville. Fifty-three persons have
been added to that church, mostly on profes
sion of faith.—At the late communion of
the Third Presbyterian Church, Indianapolis,
Indiana, twenty-four persons were added to
the church, of whom nineteen were on pro
fes::ion, making a total of fifty-five received on
profession, as the gathered fruit of the recent
work of grace in that church.—The First
Presbyterian Church of Vincennes, Indiana,
is enjoying a most delightful season of grace.
Some fourteen have been added to the church,
all but two on profession of their faith, among
these some new families, parents, and chil
dren. The meetings are still going on.—
A deep and powerful work of grace is going
forward in Hillsborough, 111. About seventy
have made profession of their faith.—A
correspondent of the Christian _lnstructor
writes of a work ofgrace in the P. church
in West Charlton, N. Y. :—" *axing of the
good results following meetings for prayer
and conference in other parts of the church,
Brother. Randles, after consulting with his
people, arranged for a religious convention;
and in order that the coming meeting might
hearts
ofne
be blessed for the revival of religion in the
own children and the salva
tionwith prayer, and they were not disappoi n ted.
The convention, which lasted two days, wa s
and
d mercful visitation, and
ts t o in God's rs, they preceded the con ven ti o n
solemn. The peo ple
b te o l t t h it i to nte b r e es
a ting
time
of i
were not willing the meetings should be dit-
continued. For the last six weeks the people
have met and prayed together. Every week
the interest increased, and at the communion
just passed a touching evidence of Divine
approval was given by the addition of forty
four to the church—forty-one on profession
of their faith."
Congregational. Revivals. Laymen
have entered vigorously upon the work in
Boston. We note that H. F. Durant, Esq.,
is laboring-, for several consecutive evenings,
in Rev. Dr. Adams's church ; and his brother,
Judge Smith, of California, who has recently
given himself to the service of the L9rd, is
speaking in diferent places with great power.
It is a cause for great rejoicing when such
men " stand up for Jesus."—At Portland,
the revival interest has, of late, seemed to
increase in some of the churches. On April
Bth, twenty-two were received into the Free
Street Church, and numerous conversions are
reported in other churches.—A careful es
timate of the results thus far of the remark
able revival in Fitchburg, Mass., gives the
number of conversions as at least four hun
dred,-and new cases are continually occurring,
although the number is manifestly smaller
than a few weeks since.—A quiet work of
grace has been in progress in the Academy
in Meriden, N. H., for several weeks, which
has resulted in the hopeful conversion of
some twenty-five or thirty of the students.
It began with the week of prayer.—An in
teresting work of grace has been in progress
for several weeks at Wheaton College,
Wheaton, 111. From thirty to forty students
have been converted. A marked effect is
traced_ to a. missionary meeting, at which
were, present Rev. Mr. Humphrey, Western
agent of the American Board, Rev. Mr. Bis
sell of India, and Rev. MI. Richardson of
Turkey, and it is believed thatsome were led
to consecrate themselves to the work of Mis
sions.—The church in Jackson, Michigan,
is being blessed with a powerful revival.
Thirty-four persons have already been ex
amined for admission to the church, and as
many more are ready for admission at the
next communion.—At Union Grove, Wis
consin, at the last communion, twenty-one
persons united with the church. —Dowag . iao,
in the same State, is also enjoying a precious
revival; forty conversions are reported, and
thirty-one recent additions to the church.-
-The Church at Waterloo, lowa, has for-seve
ral weeks been experincing a spiritual re
freshing. It is thought that over two hun
dred are hopefully converted, many of them
business men.—At Grinnell, Chester, Tole
do, and Newton,
lowa,
_we also hear of precious
revivals. At Dover, Union, and Danby, 111.,
large numbers of-conversions are reported.
At Omaha, Nebraska, forty converts are re
ported, twenty of whom are soldiers stationed
there.
'miscellaneous.—The new church at New
Orleane, Rev. W. T. Eustis pastor, is pros
pering in the face of great opposition. A
writer in the Congregationalist says: "Some
of the:Union people who have been here all
through the war, and have been loyal, but
have hardly dared to open their mouths,
come out and seem to be perfectly delighted
with the enterprise. And Mr. Eustis says he
has had them come to him with tears in their
eyes, and tell him they have not enjoyed
anything so much for years as the meetings.
It will do a great deal toward establishing the
right sort of Union feeling in the city.—
Rev. Norman McLeod, pastor of the Congre
gational church at Salt Lake City, has come
to Washington at the summons of .the Com
mittee on Territories, to give information as
to the state of affairs in Utah. At one time
when a confusion was raised in his congrega
don because he was preaching against poly
gamy, a squad of soldiers walked in and
marched the disturbers off.—Rev. Dr.
- 10tottelf of-the—Plymouth •Chubie<iax•l • •• • •
lately announced to his people his acceptance
of the Presidency of Midlebudeparture Vt,
but said he should delay his till
July that the church might have the oppor
tunity to secure another pastor. More than
$60,000 has been secured in the late effort for
this college.—The white members of the
" Circular Church" in Charleston have united
with the Globe Street Presbyterian Church,
so that Congregationalism is now extinct in
that birth p ace of treason. Churches
have recently been organized in Webster
Grove,
Utica, Mirabile, and Sedalia
—A number of instances of substantial in
crease of pastors' salaries in New England
are reported.

PERRY DAVIS' PAIN
Rev. A. N. Van Meter, of Bassein, India, writes :
Here let me assure you that we prize your Pain Killer
very highly. For the first two or three years of our
residence in India, we were ignorant of its valuable
Properties, and did not use it, but now would hardly
feel safe to be without it for a single day. Only a
few nights since Mrs. Van Meter was stung by a
scorpion, and intense pain was instantaneous through
out the arm, and soon a numbness of all the fingers fol
lowed. By the eontinued application of the Pain
Biller for an hour or more and at intervals during the
n ight, the alarming symptoms were subdued, and in
the morning only a slight soreness was felt in the
finger.
I gave it in a severe case of Fever and Ague. accord
ing to directions, andit acted like a charm, breaking
it up at once. The Karens have great confidence in it.
Mr. W. L. Carpenter writes from Calcutta, "Perry
Davis' Vegetable Pain Killer is every valuable medi
cine, and most people here that have used it entertain
a high opinion of its worth."
