THE SOCIAL HYMN BOOK.
Our Publication Committee are in
defatigable in their efforts to adapt their
publications to every phase of the wants
of the churches. Their new Hymn
Book, made up exclusively of the Hymns
from the Social Hymn and Tune Book,
is adapted to the wants of that class to
whom the musical notation is a mystery,
and who can follow in this part of the
service quite as well with the words
alone. In size, binding, paper and
typography, it is everything that could
be wished, forming one of the neatest
of the Committee's issues. The clear
ness of the type, especially, will recom
mend it to the aged, and to those who
complain of the small type used between
the staves of the Hymn and Tune Book.
As the churches have demanded a
fifth edition of the Hymn and Tune
Book, they will doubtless be calling for
the Hymn Book alone• in some propor
tionate degree. But to aid in giving it
circulation we have placed it on our
PREMIUM LIST
To any one sending us a new sub
scriber, and full payment in advance, we
will send by mail, postage pre-paid, two
copies of the Hymn Book.
Old subscribers renewing, and paying
their subscriptions promptly, for sixty
cents additional, will receive one copy
by mail, pre-paid. Those who are three
months or more in arrears, by adding
thirtyfve cents to the face of their bills,
and remitting promptly will secure a
copy in the same manner.
SUNDAY CARS IN BROOKLYN.—On
Monday evening, May 28, the following
petition was presented by Alderman
O'Brien, of the Sixth Ward :-
10 the Honorable the Common Council of the
City of Brooklyn.
GENTLEMEN:—The undersigned would re
spectfully petition your honorable body to
pass the resolutions and ordinance herewith
submitted, believing, as we do, that the prac
tice of running the cars over the railroads
within the limits of the city on Sunday tends
to disorder, immorality, and crime. They
believe that the prohibition of cars running
on that day would promote the welfare of the
community by lessening the expenses now in
curred in maintaining officers to preserve
order and quiet on that day, and in duty
bound your petitioners will ever pray, etc.
Signed—Henry G. Weston, Edwin A.
Smith, Henry It. Pierson, Senator; Louis
Bauer, M.D., and twelve others.
The following are the resolutionspre
sented
'Whereas, The operation of the Excise Law,
which has lately been put into effect ? has shown
so far that its judicious, and strict enforce
ment tends to lessen crime and promote good
order and quiet, especially on Sundays; and,
Whereas, Experience has shown that the
running of cars on Sunday, over the several
railroads within this city, tends to the in
crease of crime, and to disturb the quiet of
the day, which would otherwise prevail;
and,
Whereas, That the said running of cars on
Sunday funishes facilities to reach the
suburbs of the city, which disorderly persons
are not slow to avail themselves of, there to
revel and riot amid intoxication and crime at
the many public places of resort there to be
found ; and,
Whereas, That quiet and repose of the
neighborhood of the several routes of railroad
is greatly disturbed on Sunday evenings by
inebriated persons returning to their homes,
after having spent the day in dissipation at
some of said places of public resort; and,
Whereas, In the opinion of the Common
Council, six days in the week wherein to
labor are sufficient for man and beast, and
the seventh should be devoted to rest and
repose; therefore be it
Resolved, That the permission of this Com
mon Council granted and given to the Brook
lyn City Railroad Company to run and ope
rate their cars on Sunday, passed March 30,
1356, be, and the same is hereby revoked and
rescinded.
Resolved, That the subjoined ordinance be
nd the same is hereby adopted.
The whole subject was laid over for
wo weeks. Among the signers of the
'etition is the name of "Henry R. Pier
on, State Senator from Brooklyn, and
'resident of the Brooklyn City Rail
oad.
TEMPERANCE, ETC., IN THE SABBATH
cHooLs.—The Presbytery of Keokuk,
owa, (N. 5.,) at its session in Keokuk,
pril 13, 1866, passed the following
• n animously :-
1. Resolved, That the Sabbath-schools
innected with the Presbyterian Churches
ithin our bounds, be requested to form, in
ch and every qabbath- school, a society,
e members of which shall be pledged to
bstain from the use of all intoxicating
quors, as a beverage, and the use of tobacco
• either chewing or smoking, and that the
urches report yearly to Presbytery the re
it of their action in the premises.
2. Resolved, That in Sabbath schoolscoll
ected with the Presbyterian churches, it be
•commenced that the Assembly's Shorter
atechisin be taught to the scholars, and that
e heads of families, and others, accustomed
attend their meetings for worship, be
rnestly requested to see to it that all their
i]dren remain in the meeting for preaching
ter the dismi. , sion of the school, and also to
tend all religious meetings of the church
which said school is attached, that the
mbs of the flock may be fed and trained
p in the way they should go.

MINISTERIAL RELIEF FUND—ILLUS
TRATIVE CASES.—Rev. Dr. Alfred Ham
ilton was, for many years, a useful and
much honored pastor in the neighboring
Old School Presbytery of New Castle.
He has since been the pastor of the
church in Mattoon, 111., and—probably
to eke out an insufficient support--an
associate editor of the Northwestern
Presbyterian. We judge from what
follows, that with all his acknowledged
faithfulness and usefulness in the church,
he has not been enabled to lay by a tem
poral supply against the hour of help
lessness. We noticed, a few weeks
since, his prostration by paralysis. - We
have now before us the proceedings of
the Palestine Presbytery, granting his
request for a dismission from the pas
torate of Mattoon, on account of his being
disabled from the work of the ministry.
The action of the Presbytery closes as
follows :—" The Stated Clerk was order
ed to ask of the Committee on the Dis
abled Ministers' Fund the most liberal
contribution they can make for the relief
of Rev. Alfred Hamilton, D.D. ; and
Elder Wm. Miller and Rev. S. Newell,
D.D., were appointed to correspond with
said Committee, state the wants and
secure a liberal contribution." We notice
this, not prom any special interest in this
case, but rather because of its common
ness, and with a view, from this very
Commonness, to urge the duty of all
branches of the church to secure a liberal
provision, to which the Presbyteries can
commend all ministers in like painful
condition.
WILL THEY GO WITH THE SOUTH ?-A
correspondent of the Christian. Observer,
and once a member of Lewes Presby
tery, attended its recent meeting, and
writes as follows :
"Lewes Presbytery now numbers twelve
members, representing some eighteen or
twenty churches Take them altogether, a
better and more noble band of Christian
brethren cannot elsewhere be found. • With
some two or three exceptions, they are men
who eschew political agitations in the Church,
and are in full sympathy with the Presbyte
rian deliverances which have been made at
the South."
THE SERMON before the Brainerd Mis
sionary Society, at^ the commencement
of Lafayette College in July, will be de
livered in the Brainerd Church, Easton,
Pa.,-by the Rev. Dr. Brainerd, of Phila
delphia, a descendant of the illustrious
David Brainerd, from whom the society
is named, and whose most conspicuous
mission station among the Indians of
Pennsylvania, was located at the forks
of the Delaware where Easton is built.
THE OLD SCHOOL ASSEMBLY.
The claims of our own Assembly have been
too engrossing to enable us to preserve any
historical connection in the account of the
doings of the Supreme Council of our breth
ren of the " other side." Exclusive of the
predominant topic—that of the " Declaration
and Testimony"—they had a sufficiency of
business, regular and special, to fill up a well
extended session: witness, for example, no
less than six cases reported by the Judicial
Committee. It was pleasant to see, notwith
standing the lull of outside interest, and the
flight of the "angels of the white handker
chief " brought into notoriety by the sharp
sarcasm of Dr. Thomas, whenever the ordi
nary interests of the cause of Christ became
the subject of discussion, still each of the
great evangelical enterprises in charge of the
Assembly, resolutely held on to their claim
for time and attention.
Nothing in the spirit of that Assembly was
more observable than the disposition of the
great majority of its members to cultivate a
close Christian fraternity with our own. It
seemed to be a perfectly understood point
that the circumstances of the past called
upon them to take the initiative in any over
tures, either for interdenominational inter
course, or for organic unity, and they met
the proprieties of the case with a cordiality
which, whatever may be the results of nego
tiation, will be a refreshing remembrance in
the years to come. Befbre the meeting, it
was well understood that a motion, having
negotiations in view, would be brought for
ward, and that the probability of its prevail
ing was strong ; but the absence of any ear
nest opposition, and the almost entire una
nimity of the vote on its passage, was a
surprise. Even the extreme faction, men of
the Louisville Presbytery stripe, who knew
to a moral certainty that the final silence of
their disloyalty must be, with us, an indis
pensable preliminary to reunion, confined
their opposition to a silly stroke of parlia
mentary tactics—the offering of an amend
ment, (Van Dyke the mover,) that the
Southern Church be included in the propo
sal.
There was unquestionably more relationship
between this subject of reunion and the reso
lute action of the strong and large majority
towards eliminathig from the Church the last
vestige of disloyalty, than appears at first
sight. Strong and self-reliant as that ma
jority r. there still remains for them enough
of the fight with the wild beasts at Ephesus
to render even the prospect of an accession of
the incorruptibly loyal element of our Church
a great desideratum. Such a prospect is felt
as a great moral force in the contest, and will
have its influence in toning the high resolve
of Old School loyalty throughout the land.
In the action of the first days of the session
respecting the Louisville Presbytery, or
rather in the justification which loyal mem
bers offered for that action unrebuked, there
is one thing to be sincerely regretted. We
refer to the frequent citation of the E xe md_
lug Act of 1837 as a precedent. Dr. Board
man, with all the enormities of his logic, was
right in insisting upon the total dissimilarit.
of the cases, and it was certainly
for
to strain a point for a precedent for so plain
a parliamentary right as that of pronouncing
the disqualification of members for a seat.
Whatever may be our admiration for the in
trepidity of the act by which the Presbytery
which had flung defiance into the face of the
Assembly,
.and the men whose associations
with rebellion had been of the vilest kind,
received so summary a di sm i ssa l , we could
have no honest word of congratulation for it
—could, In fact, esteem it no better than an .
outrage upon sacred constitutional rights !1 -
it stood only upon the basis of that unmiti
gated flagrancy referred tc. In the coming
negotiationsforreunion, we know not whether
the Exciliding Act will be brought forward
n otice, or whether it
as demanding specific
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, JUNE 14, 1866.
will be allowed to slumber as an outlawed
offence, but for the sake of harmony it will
be indispensable that we somehow be made
to understand that, to the end of the ages,
it is never to rear its head as a precedent.
With this abatement we heartily congratu
late the Assembly in question, that through
a long session, by a consistent series of acts,
steadily resisting the efforts of weak-kneed
brethren to pair off the pungency of its acts
or emasculate them of their vigor, it carried
out the whole line of policy indicated by the
resolute act of the first day. We have not
room to follow the action in detail, from day
to day. A Committee, of whom Dr. D. V.
McLean was chairman, reported a series of
resolutions dissolving the Presbytery of Louis
ville, and providiug for the reconstruction of
its remaining loyal element under the same
name. Finally, by general consent, this and
all other proposed plans were merged in the
following substitute, proposed by Dr. Gurley,
which was adopted by a heavy vote :
"Resolved, That this General Assembly does
hereby condemn the Declaration and Testimony
as a slander against the church, schismatical in
its character and aims, and its adoption by any
of our Church Courts as an act of rebellion
against the authority of the General Assembly.
" Resolved, That the whole subject contem
plated in this report, including the report itself,.
be referred to the next General Assembly.
"Resolved, That the signers of the Declara
tion and Testimony and the members of the
Presbytery of Louisville, who voted to adopt
that paper, be summoned, and they are hereby
summoned to appear before the next General
Assembly and answer for what they have done
in this matter; and that until their case is de
cided they shall not be permitted to sit as mem
bers of any Church Court higher than the ses
sion.
"Resolved, That if any Presbytery shall dis
regard this action of the General Assembly,
and at any meeting shall enrol or entitle to a
seat, or seats, in the body, one or more of the
persons designated in the preceding . resolution
and summoned to appear before the next As
sembly, then that Presbytery shall ipso facto
be dissolved; and its ministers and elders who
adhere to this action of the Assembly are here
by authorized and directed in such cases to
tale charge of the Presbyterial records, to re
tain the name and exercise all the authority
and functions of the original Presbytery, until
the next meeting of the General Assembly.
"Resolved, That Synods, at their next stated
meetings, in making up their rolls, shall be
guided and governed by this action of the
General Assembly."
SubsequentlY, and after long debate, the
following resolution, offered by Dr. Schenck
of this city, was adopted:—
"Resolved, That we believe there are many
ministers and members belonging to the Pres
byterian Church in the Southern States who,
disapproved of the late rebellion, and were
compelled by the force of circumstances to bow
down before what they believed to be an ir
resistible necessity, and without expressing any
opinion on the subject of such conduct, this As
sembly will cherish the kindest fraternal regard
for such brethren, and whenever they desire to
return to the church we will extend to them a
cordial welcome; and in regard to those who
voluntarily joined in the rebellion, this Assem
bly. disclaims any spirit of vindictiveness to
ward them, and whenever they will conform to
the acts of the General Assembly of 1865 we
will be pleased to receive them back into the
church."
Among the many sharp incidents cinnect
ed with these proceedings, and going to show
that the majority were in no mood for trifling,
is the following, which we take from the St.
Louis correspondence of the N. Y. Times.
"Hon. Mr." Galloway of Ohio, read to the
Assembly a letter written by Rev. Mr. Fergu
son to the Ohio Statesman, of Columbus, Ohio,
in which there was a most scurrilous attack
upon Mr. Galloway and the General Assembly.
Mr. Ferguson was a Commissioner to. this
General Assembly, did the letter was such an
indecent attack that the motion made by Rev.
Dr. Krebs, that Mr. Ferguson be called upon
to make an entire retraction or be expelled
from this body, met with almost unanimous ap
proval, excepting, of course, the disloyal party,
of which he has been an officious member.
Mr. Ferguson's explanation or retraction not
being considered satisfactory, Rev. Dr. Krebs
moved that he be expelled, which was almost
unanimously carried; and the miserable man,
thrust out of the house, fell into the arms of
the fair rebels who left the galleries to meet
him at the door and crown him with their
laurels."
We are sorry to add that, on the coming
up of a complaint against the Synod of Ken
tucky for its refusal to treat the disloyalty of
the Louisville Presbytery as an offence, which
was to have been presented by Dr. R. J.
Breckenridge and Dr. Stanton, the former
betrayed such infirmities of temper, and be
came so abusive of his associate and others,
that the case lost its interest in the general
feeling of regret for the, infirmity of the
venerable offender, and was, if our latest in
formation is correct, left unfinished.
tatEttigrrat.
The U. P. Church in this city.—Says the
Evangelical Repository: The additions to the
church have been numerous. In the first
church eighteen have been received to full
communion. Forty-three in the second ; fifty
in the third ; forty-nine in the fifth : forty in
the eighth, and about forty in the ninth. To
the other churches additions have also been
made, amounting in all to over two hundred.
Of course we cannot say th.it all these have
been gathered in by, the revival; but a large
portion of them have been brought into the
Church as the result of this. Communions
are still to be held in some of the congrega
tions at which it is expected large additions
will be made.
Congregational.—Revivals.—From Min
neapolis, Min., Roy. C. C. Salter, pastor,
writes: Among the young confessors who
joined the church last Sabbath were a return
ed soldier, two daughters of soldiers who died
in Andersonville, a young man from Wor
cester. who came here in quest of health, and
three Dakota children. When Mr. and Mrs.
Cunningham, formerly teachers of the A. B.
C. F. M., among the Indians, were obliged
to leave their work, they kept these children,
and in much sacrifice they are educating them
for future labor among their own people.—
Rev. J. C. French pastor of the Central
Church, Brooklyn, writes: During the past
six months my church has been enjoying a
precious revival. About one hundred and
forty have been hopefully converted. At the
communion in March, fifty-two were added
to the church, and at the communion in May,
fifty- three, only a part as you see, of the
fruits of this powerful work of grace. Many
more will yet be gathered. The interest con
tinues.—TheCongregational church in
Lockport received eighty-seven members,
May 13.—At East Boston, the religious in
,
serest is peculiar, in that it includes all the
I(knotninations, even the Unitarians and
Roman Catholics holding numerous extra
meetings. The Congregationalist cordially
recognize s the Christian labors of Rev. Mr.
Cudworth
of the 'Unitarian Church,
and
Wishes that all his brethren were imbued
with the same spirit.
e spirit.- - -A n thmer
new arr an " ne e, has been made in re
gard. to beard. g The trustees of the seminary
have ' r iven th e lar e stone house, formely oc
cupied byPioE Stowe g , •

I club, cow
posed of ne arly all the members of
PRESBYTERIAN
the seminary. In addition to this they pro
vide cooks to prepare the food, and land to
provide what vegetables they can raise, leaving
merely the further cost of the provisions to
be borne by the students. There is one other
plan proposed which will probably be carried
out during this term. Three courses of lec
tures are to be given; one on Congregation
alism, by Dr. Bacon, one on Missions, by Dr.
Anderson, and one on Revivals. The pro
fessors will meanwhile continue their usual
course of instruction. Churches. —The
corner-stone for the new Congregational
church (on Eutaw St.) in Baltimore,. was laid
on Tuesday, Hay .1.5 t h. Rev. Edwin John
son, the pastor, presided, and Rev. A. E.
Gibson, *Methodist, offered prayer. Hon.
Henry StoOkbridge made an address in be
half of the trustees, and Rev. Dr. Spees,
Presbyterian, spoke words of cordial fellow
ship and offered prayer. The stone was then
laid, having deposited in it a box with vari
ous documents; and an able discourse was
preached by Dr. Boynton of Washington.
—Rev. George B. Beecher of Zanesville,
Ohio, a graduate of Yale College and An
dover Seminary, has accepted a call from the
Howe street church, at New Haven.
Episcopal—Bishop Whipple of Minne
sota has been at Washington, administering
the rite of confirmation in some of the Epis
copal churches, without distinction of color,
to the disgust of some old residents.
Unitarian.—The Christian Register ac
knowledges the contributions of various
churches to the $lOO,OOO fund to the pro
pagation of Unitarianism. The following are
for over $lOOO :—New Bedford, $1000;
Taunton, $1575; Channing Church, Newton
Corner, $1130; Bpringfield, over $1760;
Rev. Dr. Putnam's, Roxbury, $1500; All
Saints', New York, $4OOO t • Hollis Street,
Boston, $1271; South Church, Boston, $3OOO
(not completed). Rev. Theodore Clapp,
a distinguished Unitarian minister died at
Louisville, May 17th, at the age of seventy
four. He studied theology at Andover Semi
nary, and was for many years pastor of the
First Presbyterian Church in New Orleans,
where he endeared himself to his people by
nursing the sick during the ravages pf the
cholera. It was not till 1834 that he became
- a Unitarian.
Baptist Funds.—The Home Missionary
Society asked the churches in 1865 for $250,-
000, and collected $170,000 which was over
$50,000 more than they collected during the
previous.year. The Missionary Union an
nounces its receipts for 1865 at $190,000.
The Publication Society reports its business
receipts at $124,845 and disbursements at
$111,434, whilst its receipts for benevolent
purposes were $48,432, and disbursements
$47,844. The American and Foreign Bible
Society reported receipts to the amount of
$39,331, of which $25,975 were from dona
tions and legacies.
Colenso and the . Congregationalists.—
The Natal Mercury contained the following in
its last issue : "From questionsput to candi
dates, it seems likely that the relative rights
of the Metropolitan and the Bishop of Natal
will come before the Legislative Council in
the form of a bill transferring all church
property from the trusteeship of the Bishop
of Cape Town to that of the'Bishop of Natal
for the time being." A petition is being
prepared by the Church Defence Association
to be addressed, it is supposed, to the Queen,
praying for the appointment of a royal com
mission, to report—let. Whether the Bishop
of Natal, in his published works, has exceed
ed his legal liberties ; and 2d. hether the
proceedings of the Bishop of Cape Town,
and tbe clergy acting under his orders, are
not acts of schism and betrayal of trust, tend
ing to disqualify them from holding any
longer office and emoluments in the Church
of England. From the first of Dr. Colenso's
services in the cathedral it has been noticed
that his audience, to a great extent, consisted
of members of the Independent congregation
in Maritzburg ! It is now stated that the
minister of this congregation has embraced
Colensoism altogether. His followers are to
be made use of as members of the church
and parishioners, at the ensuing Easter elec
tion of churchwardens.

IMPORTANCE OF HAVING DAVIS' PAIN
HILLER ALWAYS AT HAND.
Wonderful cure of the Rev. D. L. Brayton. Mis
sionary in India, who was stung by a scorpion. Ex
tract from his letter, dated Mergui, .lune 13, and pub
lished in the Baptist Missionary Maposine for Decem
ber. 1849:—" For the first time since I have been in
India. I have been stung by a scorpion. I went out
this morning to my exercises, as usual, at early dawn,
and having an occasion to use an old box, on taking
off the cover, I put my hand on a scorpion, which im
mediately resented the insult by thrusting its sting
into the palm of my hand. The instantaneous and
severe pain which darted through my system is quite
incredible; what an awfully virulent poison their
sting must contain! I flew to my bottle of ' Davis'
Pain Killer,' and found it to be true to its name. The
relief was almost as sudden as the pain: after a mo
ment's relief, I saturated a small piece of sponge,
bound it on my hand, and went about my exorcises,
feeling no more particular inconveniences." 1045-3 t

Relief gmarantetd in ten minutes t and
avermanent cure effected by the use of " UPHAM'S

Careful inquiry into tertian Dogmas of the Church. By
Rev. T. M. Hopkins. A. M. Geneva, Belo York. Fourth
Edition. Wm. J. Mores: Auburn. H. Y.
KIND Rasnits: Would you like to see it demon
strated, that the story of Samson and his Foxes, and
that of the Dial of Alms, are evidently a mistranda
tion?—the Stopping of the Sun and Moon by Joshua,
an interpotationf and that the word of God contains
nothing of these. as they are in our common Transla
tion ? Would you like to inquire, among the institu
tions of Jesus Christ, for certain dogmas of the
Church, and not find them there? Would you see in
what sense men are born in the Image of God? Be
sides, Infidelity has asserted, that if the dead were to
rise to-day, and to occupy as much space as when they
were alive, they would cover the whole earth to the
depth of some eight or ten feet; would you see it
demonstrated, that space for at least five burying
grounds can be toned within the limits of the State of
New York, of sufficient capacity to bury every son
and daughter of Adam? The above-named Book
will do this and something more; you may obt a i n it
by sending $1 50 to the author at Geneva, who will
forward it to you post-paid. When you have read
it, if you do not And it so. return the Book an 4 I will
