PUBLISHED EXERT THURSDAY, AT THE PRESBYTERIAN HOUSE, 1334 Chestnut Street, (3d story.) Philadelphia. Rev. John W. Mears. Editor and Publisher. atztritan taltgittialt, THURSDAY, JUNE 28, 1866 REPENT NOW! A popular but rash writer, who has been manifesting increasing hostility to the pe culiarities of evangelical religion, in a re cent publication attempts to ridicule the common argument from thd pulpit for im mediate repentance—the uncertainty of life. True, there are preachers who urge this argument mechanically; who make it trite by repetition; who are insensible to the fitness of things in introducing this or similar arguments. But the consideration of the uncertainty of life itself, is one of the most appropriate that can be urged. No preacher of righteousness dare neglect it, if he .would do his duty. ' We are but a passing rice. The noblest natures even outside of the range of Scrip ture and the Church, feelingly admit it. " What shadows we are, and what shadows we pursue," said the; great orator Burke. "Oat, out, brief candle !" exclaims. Mac beth "Life's but a walking shadow ; a poor player. That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more." Again, says Shakspeare: " We are such stuff As dreams are made of, and our little life Is rounded with a sleep." Aurelius Antoninus often warns the reader of the uncertainty of life. He says : ,4 What belongs to the soul is 'a dream and vapor, and' life is a warfare and a stranger's sojourn." "Do not act as if thou wert going to live a thousand years. Death hangs over thee. While thou livest, while it is in thy power, be good.' ' Even Homer puts into the mouth of one of his heroes a solemn and stately reflection upon the similarity of the race of men to the race of leaves. And it is an evil service for any writer to deaden the sense of this uncertainty in the minds of men. It can be accomplished only at the expense of our finer moral feelings, only by - blunting and making coarser our moral natures, already sufficiently debased and, hardened. • Sensation writers may think it absurd to ply men with arguments based on the un certainty of life; but the absurdity is all the • other way. It is plainly absurd for men to risk anything important' upon an aural!, that they will live another hour. It is absurd for men to defer what can be secured now, on the ground , manthat canbe secured equally well' to-morrow. It is ir rational , for a having property, to dis pose of at his death, to defer making his will a single day, on the ground that he will be able to do it as well to-morrow. A. man who would insure his life for the' bone- fit of his family or his creditors, trifles with them by every hour of postponement. Every business' man is bound to keep his accounts as . carefully as if he expected to die tomorrow. He must include that pos sibility in all his calculations. How much greater the wrong and ab surdity of calculating upon the future for opportunity for the great business of life I That, without which all 'life is a failure, should be exposed to no contingency what ever. So great, so awful is the catastro phe of dying without repentance, that words cannot be found to describe the folly if risking it. That a creature who cannot .all another bretith his own, should daily nd delay in such a matter, is immeasura .le presumption. Until the sinner has re .ented, his liability to die, at any.moment ould, by every possible means, be urged pon his attention. The thought of death ould beset him on every hand and hedge, in up to his duty. He is' his' true friend ho keeps him face to face with the dread, :sibilities of his situation. There is no gument more legitimate for immediate . : ientatice than that the sinner may die -night--yea, even though the sinner's e should be prolonged , half a century. is the argument of common prudence, d it may be pressed with unwonted ear :tness and repetition in proportion as un •nted interests are at stake. ' epent now. That is the Divine com ndment, and the dictate of the highest dente is well. But you,will not die a iment sooner for having repented. Your - will be calmer, and will tend to prolong -If in the light of God's complacent love. lent now, and if you live scores of s longer, so much the better, that you thoroughly test the reality of your re . tance.

THE PROPOSED GERMAN PRESBY TERIAN CHURCH. Somewhat slowly, yet we believe surely, our people are moving for the establish ment of a German Presbyterian Church in this city. One of the most feaSible plans suggested is as follows :.—Let the present Coates' Street Cliurch vacate their premises, which are now, and long have been, in the heart of an extensive German population, and turn them over. to the nucleus of a German congregation already under the care of the Fourth Presbytery. Meanwhile, let the Coates' Street people be guaranteed a reasonable sum for their valuable pro perty, and otherwise be aided to build in a new, and for them more eligible, situation. This plan has the great advantage that it would, by one operation, give us two church buildings, both suited to the wants of the congregations, instead of one, in which there-is now no ,hope of growth or prosperity. We must certainly strike'a blow fir the evangelization of our German population in this city. The Whole Church is inte rested in the work. WOnders have been accomplished in the 14esbytery of Newark; N. J., where thereare half a dozen or more German Churches; :and surely the field is still greater here. Our people in this city must not and will not be behindhand. FOREIGN MISSIONAItY PROFESSOR Dr. Duff's return to Scotland, and his active efforts as Secretary of the Commit tee of Foreign Missions of the Free Church, are already bearing good fruit. The con tributiohb are still small, more money being collected abroad than in Scotland. The great Free Church, with a quarter of a million of communicants, gave but £16,000 last year, including legacies. We believe this is four thousand pounds more than was given before Dr. Duff's return. His last, -movement, reported to the General Assembly of the Free Church three weeks ago, and promptly sanctioned by that body, was to procure private subscriptions to a fUnd of £19,000, for - exidOwing - a, ship of Foreign Missions, to be called the Chair'of Evangelistic Theology, in connec tion • with. College of the Free Church. Opportunities will be afforded for the study of the languages, mythology, etc., of the heathen nations, and for the general train ing of students for the missionary work. The great success of the missionary In stitute at Basel, called " Crischona,” may' well encourage the Free Church to such a step. Our only wonder is, that a 'plan clearly wise and economical both of health: and financial resources, has not been incor-i porated into the poliey of all the great societies and denominational enterprises in the same field. Who will endow a mission-' ary professorship in connection with one of our seminaries, or with Hamilton College ? DEATH OF REV. J. IL HENNARD, D.D. A Saint of- God, an epistle known and read of all men, has suddenly been trans lated, from this world to one infinitely holier and .better. We dare not lament his departuie, however deep and tender our Christian regard; we are sure he was living through these months past, quite on the verge of his heavenly home, and it was the very reflection of. its glory , that shone in his countenance, that dwelt in his tones, and that gave unearthly fervor and inex pressible yearning to his prayers in the daily union meetings, and that drew all Christian hearts toward him in such warn affection. We have,. not met with an in-, stance, in our life in this city, where ,ail Other personal feelings seemedso completely, merged in,the love of Christ, the sense,of Christian brotherhood,.and zeal for .perish: lug sinners,as in theintercourse of Dr. Ken: nard withdhis brethren of other detunnina time,' in these union` prayer -'meetings. ' He may truly be described as the central figu - re there. Never, while memory performs its office, ' Can we forget that venerable ferm 7: that heavenly expression of , countenance,. those pleading, tearful tones that. went' straight to the heart, as he testified to the unwonted joys of his soul in those sweet hours of communion; as he plead with im penitent sinners, as he , brought glad news of the Holy Spirit's work in various parts of the land, or declared his overflowing love for the brethren of different denomina tions with whom he reioiced to commune at these meetings. Never can we forget the rapt ardor and importunity of his prayers for the outpouring of the ,Spirit in large measure upon this city. Theyseemed to besiege the very gates of heaven; and he more:than , once declared his conviction that they, and those .of others, would'd - bp answered in a great iVerk of grace here in the coming isll.''' l rre . looked forward to PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 2S, 1866. that period. with joyfuil anticipations; he did not know that he was so near to a higher work and a higher joy. Indeed, it does not seem unnatural that he should go ; so near he seemed to be living and so closely communing with the things and the interests of eternity while here. Narrow, indeed, must have been the river over which he crossed. To adapt the words of Bunyan—And now was he, as it were, in heaven • before he came to it, being swallowed up with the sight of angels and with hearing their melodious notes. - Here also he had the city itself in view, and thought he heard all the bells therein to ring to welcome him. thereto.

A subject so bound up with comfort, cleanliness, health, and good morals, as the abundant supply of, pure water to our great and growing cities, :wilt. be regarded as • not . unsuitable for discussionln the columns of a: religious neivepaimr. The painfully stint ed supply doled out to the abject poor of London, undoubtedly forms a serious ob stacle to their elevation in many ways. No one who informs himself of the facts in the case, as they have been stated by a writer in the last number of the Edinburgh Re view, will wonder at the degradation, the drunkenness and the. Sabbath-breaking, which accompany their poverty and make it so hideous and so hopeless. The very class of persons whose occupations render necessary a large amount Of water to per simal cleanliness; ' whose dwellings, from their crowded condition, most need frequent cleansings, to keep them from becoming like the dens and styes of beasts, are the most restricted in their use of the means of abliition. The inadequate supplies and the filthy condition of the water furnished to our captive soldiers in the South during the rebellion; has been matter of just exe cration; but we must' conclude, that the men who famished in the Andersonville pen, were no worse off fer pure water, than are thousands of the poorer inhabitants of the:great Christian. city of London, at 'this day. . Our space does,,not permit as to present the dreadful = facts as fully? as 'we 'might wish. The! best of:the hones in theie mis erable neighborhoOds are supplied with wooden cisterns; which, if regularly filled about which there is' some doubt—woUld • allow each inhabitant an average of four 'gallons in twenty-four hours, for all pur poses. (In Philadelphia, the average to each inhabitant is forty-five gallone.) More- OVer, nine-tenths of these cisterns are without covers, and one half of them- are so placed as to catch the foul drippings from the eaves of the houses, and are lined internally with scum and slimy vegetation. Not a few are so rotten that the finger can be pushed through them, and the contents of those that are tight,,become every hour more of fensive and unlike What water should be, for purposes of cleanliness and consump tion. . Another inode of supplying these poorer quarters is by turning 'Ott water from the street pipes , for a certain length of time every day., ' At that time, all who want water must be in attendance, with, such articles as they command. For twenty minutes a half 444.strgam is allowed to run. "In the afternoon, those who -; pass .that way may see, in looking .up the narrow entrances of these courtsynrowda•of women .and children, provided with bottles, pails; tubC, teakettles, broken jugs and other via These people will tell' you that "they have not a'drop 'of water in their housea. . .

In some of the dark courts and lanes, pure water is as scarce as•itis on board an emi grant ship during a long voyage." Worse still, there are . whole days in. which there is absolutely not a drop of water to be obtained, and these days, of all others in the week, - are those in which the abject poor w.onld feel-disposed and at lei- ' 1 - * Anual Report of the Chief Engineer of the Water n Department •of the,City of Philadelphia, and'Plan of Supplying the City with Witter by Aqueduct from the Perkiomen, presented to Conrella, Februaxy . 18.66. 8 „ Edinbur g h R ev i ew 'AprillB66, Art.

Saturday afternoon at three o'clock, until Monday afternoon at the same hour, there are neighborhoods totally with out a supply. Sometimes a whole court has to borrow from "a Public" at the cor ner. Three or four gallons'of water must be made to last an individual, for every purpose; forty-eight hours`!" fn a tenement neighborhOod near Covent Garden, the 'poor creatures were described as actually famished for water in this Sunday drought The premises belong to "'eminent brewers" —men who not only convert much pare water MO a means of dissipation, but who eorruptiatuch more by the mere process of manufacture. Any one noticitig'the gutters near a brewery, finished with turbid and of. sensive streams, may leatn what poisoners of nature's beierage they are. Who :can doubt that there is a close connection between these facts and, the no toriously degraded condition of the London poor ? Who can. doubt that_the squalor of their homes often drives them to the better conditioned gin shop; or, that when a healthful `brink is almost impossible to be had, a stiniulalit — is' used in its stead? Who can avoid the suspicion that those "eminent brewers" already mentioned, stint their tenants of water, so that their appetite for beer may be ke,pt at the high est available point? We believe it has long ago been settled, that .an abundant supply of pure water greatly promotes temperate habits'among the masses. The relation of water supplyto progiess is shown in.the fact;that the demand for water in our cities increases in a far higher ratio than would result from the, increase of the population. " Not only does every additional person need a certain quantity, but every individual tends to require more water than any of his predecessors. The diffusion of care and cleanliness of body makes one man use perhaps twice as much water as any of his anCestors, and the more confidently men believe that cleanliness is next to godliness, the more ample will be their ablutions." Facts in regard to the amount - of water used by former genera tions cannot be obtained; but we trace the effect of the increase " in the remarkable diminution in certain once prevalent die- I eases." In Glasgow, in 1838, twenty-six gallons a day was considered a liberal sup ply for each individual. In 1845 it rose to 30 gallons; in 1852 to 35 and 38 gallons, and now, since .4Loch Batrine has been pat to the practical purposes, of a water supply, 45 gallops are delivered, on an average, to; every , man , woman , and child in the city. In London, the agerage is twenty-six gal lons at the present time. In Philadelphia, in'lB3o, it WitEi twelve and a 'half . gallons; in 1861, it was' Orty-one gallons; it is now, stated to be forty-five. Part of this increase' is dmibtlesb 'due to the' increase of menu- actoriee, requiring water r for the genera tion of steam and for a multitude of other purposes; but much, is clue to.the increas ing appreciation byindividuals of the great comfort and moral value of an abundant water supply, when thud bountifully brought to their doors. They and their homes can be clean; it is their fault and their shame if they are not. A river of bright, pure water, poured in thousands co . f branches along every street and by every door, is a truly delightful persuasive to something very near akin to virtue. People yield to the persuasive; they luxuriate in the cheaply got, cleanliness'of their persons and homes. The filthier ones around them - are shamed and stimulated. Tkey, too t must have their Share ; And 'so the demand increases, and civilization and virtue are promoted in.the action and 're=action of ,inereasing supply and increasing demand.;. it, being difficult to - apportion. the praisa accurately between the supply and the demand.. :There is.;a great deal of Cant uttered by infidel bigots and Would-be`social reformeri and materialist philoactiters, upon the proper Mitheds'of amillioratiug and ting the social Condition of the masses Oni missionary efforts, 'directed at the. spiiitual wants of: these, multitudes, are decried, and methods of outward improve ment are extolled worthy the first place in such undertakings. Let us not be loth to learn-even from our enemies. Let us admit, that while myriads of the London poor have but two or three gallons of wa ter apiece for all purposes, in one day, and' on Sabbath none at all, or are supplied from filthy vats, little better than sewers, it is visionary to hope for great result's t fro ety from bare spiritual appliances.

We will try to come nearer in our next. • The annual Commencement of this insti tution, whose name has been changed from ".Ashmun Institute"—a title still retained by the preparatory department—aad whose powers have been enlarged by a'recent act of the Legislature, took place on Thursday of last week, at Qxford, Pa. A large and intelligent company assembled, both from the vicinity and from distant parts of the country.. Among the latter were Maj.-Gen. 'O. 0: Howard 'and Hon: Wm. E. Dodge of New York. The exercises were commenced by the college choir singing "Lift up your heads," in excellent style. After prayer, the members of -the graduating oleos made addresses. A contemporary says .of the members of the class They 'were well-looking, clear-eyed, in telligeut young men, and the character of their orations was, we think, about equal ,to that of any of the colleges, of ,the coun try. The first speaker was J. H. Jackson, of Philadelphia; ke was followed by Thos. L. Schenck, of Prinoeton, who recited an extract on " The Character of Washing ton." After music by the choir, William B. Price, of- Wilmington, N. C., (who be came free at the close of the war,) recited "The Raising of the Flag over Fort Sumter." The next' speaker was Joseph Thompson, of Medford, N. J. After mu sic, William L. Johnson, of New York City, gave an address on "The Elevation of the African Race;" E. W. Hammond, of Baltimore, spoke on " The Duties of the Day," and W. D. Johnson, of Balti more, made the closing oration. Prayer was offered by the Rev, Thos. J. Shepherd, when a brief address was made by the distinguished chief of the Freed men's Bureau, General 0. 0. Howard. A warm reception was accorded this Christian hero, whose earnest piety, unflinching pa triotism,•'and keen jense of justice to the loyal masses of the South, made his pres ence on that platform, designed most intl.-. mately and effectively to promote the wel fare of the colored race, as appropriate as it was welcome. In the afternoon a freer meeting of the assembled friends of , the institution was held in a neighboring grove. We again quote from the Bulletin: Beneath the waving branches of the ' trees seats had been placed, in front •of a platform which was decorated with the. -American flag and a green wreath. Here the college choir, gave .us .more of theii, ,pleasant music, while the faculty, 'the stu dents, the visitors- from other - places, and the, residenta of the vicinity seated ,them selves or reclined on ihe leaf-strewn turf . The scene was Picturesque. The duak though animated faces of the students; the gaily colored dresses of the females • the venerable forms of. the ministers, and the ruddy healthful-looking faces of the farmers of the vicinity, all comtined to make up a pleasing picture. The day was bright and sunny, with an exquisite breeze blowing over the undulating hills and lovely vales of Chester county. During the afternoon, addresses were made by the Rev. William Speer, President of the Prei3byterien Board of Education, Rev. William R Moore, of West Chester, Rev. E. Hawes, pastor of the Central Cong regational Church of Phila . - delphia, Mr. W , William Main of PhiladelPhia, Rev. Dr. Dickey, Hon. 'Mr.i Dodge r mem ber of Congress from New York, Mr. Bas sett, of the Colored . High . School of .Phila delphia, kajpr-General Howard, and Rev. S. C. Logan, Seiretary of the Freedman's Committee of the Presbp4rian Church. The addresses were marked by a broad Christian and humanitarian' tone, mingled with touches of humor, personal reininist cences, patriotic appeals and the like. The exercises eonbludecl by three cheers for Pennsylvania, proposed by Gen. HO*. ard, whd coMplimerited the - cOndUct of the soldiers of our State during the war, .and a response of three cheers, for Gen. How •ard, proposed by Rev M. Dickey. We are glad to leant - that forty-six stir-: dents have been in 'attendance during the term just closed. Thorprosperity of the Institution is indeed cheering to every friend of the colored race in America. Could we but provide 'carefully edlicated religious teachers, in suf f icient numbers,' for this docile and religiously inclined but often sadly Mis-directed race, we should do more for their elevation than by any other means at present within our reach.

M OUR CONGREGATIONAL FRIENDS are exercised with reports as to the Presby terian leanings of their new enterprise in Washington City. Both the Boston pa pers of last week refer to the sabject. The Congregationalist says:— "A report has been circulated to some ex tent to the effect that the Congregational Church at Washington, and its pastor, Rev. C. B. Boynton, well known as the patriotic chaplain of the House of Representatives, have Presbyterian leanings. We have the best authority fir saying that this charge has no foundatiOn in truth. The pastor, in a private note to us remarks:—` There is DOG a church in Boston more decidedly and thor oughly Congregational than this is, and no one less likely to become Presbyterian.'" The Recorder Says: "We rejoice in ample evidence that the new Congregational Church in Washington •is intelligently and thoroughly with us in our Pilgrim Faith and Polity. We learn that the Congregational polity has been repeatedly vindicated from their pulpit with earnestness and ability by Dr. Boynton, and Viet both the pastor and the membership are fully con vinced that the Congregational system is the system, beyond all others, fitted to carry the principles of Christian freedom into the South and all other waste places." , Both papers unite in an earnest ap peal for assistance to the'new enterprise. The available ground in Washington for churches of 'a Puritan leaning being so thoroughly covered' by the Presbyterian organtiations there, we cannot be sur prised to:hear once more of difficulties in the way of a Congregational enterprise And rumors of a movement Presbytery_ ward. ..Better service can be done in that city by Northern men, in standing by the assailed pastor-and people of the First Presbyterian Church and in vindi cating their noble and liberal position before the community, than in drawing Off to form other churches without any gain in principle and with an actual di vision and loss of influence. MORE PARDONS.—The attention of the law-abiding public has been aroused by the frequency and miscellaneous char acter of '"the pardons ever and anon issuing from the Executive department of the Government. We refer not only to the twelve thousand or more delivered from the penalties of treason, but to mail robbers, embezzlers of the public moneys, arid the- like, who are frequently an nonnced• as recipients of Executive clenieney. The latest cases we have noticed; are those published in the dailies of Friday-last ; the first being that of a mail-agent' on 'the line 'between New York and Washington, who was indicted in January last, by the Grand Jury of the 'United States District Court at Trenton, N.

We cut the other announcement, in its !boldness, from the Washington telegrams `of a daily paper:— The President has ordeied a pardon to be issued to Mary Blake, who was sentenced to pay a fine of $5OO and be imprisoned until the fine was paid, for keeping a house of ill fame.
