meat, led to a profitable discussion ; and
o n on Female Education, by Dr.
Cowles, was recommended for publica
tion as a tract, by the Publication Com
mittee. The Elmira Female College is
a protege of this Synod, and received a
cull measure of attention. The raising
o f $lO,OOO to secure an addition of $50,-
0 00 (of which $40,000 is subscribed)
to the endowment of the college, was
commended to the churches. Strong
testimony was borne of the excellence of
the institution by some of the most judi
cious men of the Synod. The " Narra
tive," by Mr Eaton, of Palmyra, was
a n admirable paper. In fact, this was
a model Synodical meeting. The next
vesr's gathering will be at Geneva.
g a y it be as happy as those of the last
two years.
The Synod will convene on the even
ing of the third Tuesday in September,
i t , 67, in Dr. Wood's church. Several
s pecial orders were made for its sessions,
tor olcing points of interest, and a meet
of ruling elders will be held for con
ference and mutual suggestions as to the
duties of their office.
PRESBYTERY OF ERIE.—At the recent
stated meeting of this body, in North
East, Pa., the following minute on the
subieet of ecclesiastical reunion was
a dopted :
The subject of the reunion of the
two branches of the Presbyterian Church
h a s, in our judgment, assumed such
practical interest and importance as to
render it proper for this Presbytery to
Ore a frank expression of sentiment
concerning it.
We hail with thankfulness and joy
the manifest evidence of a growing spirit
of Christian love and confidence in the
relations of these bodies to each other ;
and it is our sincere desire and prayer
that this good spirit may more and more
increase and prevail.
We therefore heartily approve the
action of the two General Assemblies at
St. Louis on this subject; and we earn
estly desire that the deliberations and
negotiations which may take place in
consequence of this action, should be
conducted in the spirit of wisdom, can
dor, and charity, and be finally brought
to the issue which shall best subserve
the kingdom and glory of our Lord and
Saviour."
The meeting was pleasant and har
monious, and many interesting facts in
the condition 6f the churches were
exhibited.
CLEVELAND, Onro.—The correspond
ent of the Christian Herald, writing of
things in general pertaining to this beau
tiful lake city, speaks of its , religions con•
dition, and of our churches there, as fob
lows :—" The influences of the general
work of grace with which we were
blessed early in the year abide. Every
thing iudicates that that work was gena-
Me, and that its fruits will remain. The
new members of our churches are be
coming active members, and there are
very few known instances of backsliding
or relapse. Some of our church edifices
have been materially improved and en
larged this summer. The Second Pres
'yterian is about undergoing a thorough
enovation within and without. The
first Presbyterian has been closed since
nne, and spacious galleries have been
oak to accommodate the growing con
regation. The church parlors in which
he prayer-meeting is held have been
ioubled in size. The pastor of this
huh, Rev. Dr. Goodrich, has been
itostrated for two months by distressing
nd dangerous illness, and is only now
ecovering sufficiently to go out. He is
urbidden by his physicians to preach
or six months to come, and the congre-
Ation have been so favored as to secure
or that period the services of Rev. J.
Atterbury, D.D.,late of New Albany,
nd. Rev. John Monteith, Jr., has re-
'pled the charge of the Euclid Avenue
larch. His resignation, however, was
of accepted, an i the question of his
'missal will be brought before an early
'eeting of the Presbytery."
ASHTABULA, OHIO.—At the late eet
g the Presbytery of Grand River,
er• J. N. McGiffert, late pastor at Sau-
Quit, N. Y., was received by transfer
om the Presbytery of Utica, and ar
figments were made for his installa-
Oa over our church in' Ashtabula,
°ln which he had a unanimous call,
NI where his prospects for a happy and
teful settlement are good.
MADISON, Iwn.—The Second Presby
rian Church in this place has called to
'e pastorate Rev. Manuel J. Drennan,
ad is expecting him to commence his
bors there next month. This is an
ther draft upon New England—a habit
furs, as our Congregational brethren
Y. Great improvements are going
irward in the church edifice, which, it
expected, will make it one of the most
leasant in the State.

good degree of prosperity. Their large
and beautiful house of worship is filling
up, the Sunday-school is flourishing, and
the people have a heart to work. After
expending $60,000 in erecting their
sanctuary, they are now engaged in a
successful missionary enterprise in a des.:
titute portion of the city. A faithful
missionary is employed, ground pur
chased, and a chapel completed.
MINISTERIAL REMISE—The claims of
our Ministerial Relief Fund were made
a prominent subject at the late meeting
of the Franklin (Ohio) Presbytery. It
was recommended to ministers to preach
upon the subject at an early day, and
the churches were exhorted to contribute
to it annually. 'A standing Presbyteri
al committee, of which Rev. D. M. Wil
son is chairman, was appointed to look
after its interests.

PRESBYTERIAN.
Northwest Theological Seminary.—Rev.
E. D. Mac Master, who was elected by the
last General Assembly to the. McCormick
Professorship of Didactic and Polemic The
ology in the Seminary of the Northwest at
Chicago, was installed in that office on the
6th inst. The opening lecture of the session
was delivered by Professor Charles Elliot.
Subject: The Relation of Christ's Kingdom
and the Preaching of the Gospel to Civil
Affairs. The Seminary has opened • with
about forty students. It is thought the
number may be increased to forty-five.
Installation at Princeton, N. J.—Rev.
Spencer L. Finney, recently of the Reformed
Presbyterian Church in the city of New
York, was installed pastor of the Second
Presbyterian Church, Princeton, J.,
N. by
the Presbytery of New Brunswick, on Fri
day evening, August 31st.
Scandal Avoided.—ln several cases of the
schisms in Kentucky churches, produced, by
the 'action of the last O. S. Assembly, the
parties have made praiseworthy and success
ful efforts to settle the temporalities in issue
without bringing church litigation into the
civil courts. Thus we learn, through the
Free Christian Commonwealth, that in the
Second Presbyterian Church, Louisville, Ky.,
(Rev. Dr. Stuart Robinson's,) the congrega
tional property has been divided between the
majority and the minority in equal propor
tions—though the majority is represented as
much larger than the minority. In the
Fourth Church, Louisville, the majority have
taken a lot of ground belonging to the church
as their portion, and are building a new
house of worship, leaving the old church
building to the other party, who adhere to
the General Assembly.
A Tennessee Presbytery Resuscitated.
—The Presbytery of Holston has been recog
nized, and has resumed its connection with
the 0. S. Assembly. Four ministers, and
representatives from five churches, were pre
sent. A letter says :—" We had a good
meeting at Baker's Creek at the organization
of our Presbytery. It continued for five
days. There was a very large attendance,
and some conversions. Many came the dis
tance of twenty miles. Tears of joy ran
clown the cheeks of many fathers and moth
ers of the church, as they joined again in
prayer and praise, under the reinstated ban
ner of good old Presbyterianism."
Dr. Howard not to go to Cincinnati.—
The Presbytery of Ohio, at its meeting , in
Pittsburgh week before last, refused to 'dis
miss Rev. Dr. Howard from his charge in
that city for the purpose of enabling him to
accept the call of the First Church in Cincin-.
nati. His Pittsburgh congregation unani
mohsly and earnestly protested against the
transfer, and are, of course, much gratified
with' the result.
South.—We see announced the death of
Rev. J. 11. C. Leach, D.D., once an esteemed
minister in our Church, aged about 75. He
died very suddenly, on the 4th inst., at his
residence near Farmville, Va.—The Lou
don Street Church, Winchester, Va.,has
called Rev. I. W. K. Handy, D.D., of'orts
mouth, to the pastorate.—The churches in
Winchester are reported as having been the
scene of much relious awakening under the
preaching of Drs. Handy, Moses and Hodge,
and Rev. John Chambers, of Philadelphia.
—The Directors of the Theological Semi
nary at Columbia, S. C., have nominated Dr.
H. J. Van Dyke,
of Brooklyn,N. Y., for the
professorship of Didactic and Polemic The
ology, made vacant by the death of Dr.
Thornwell. The election is made by the
General Assembly which meets next month
in Memphis. The Doctor is doubtless didac
tically and polemically qualified.
Presbytery of Chillicothe on Reunion.—
The Presbytery of Chillicothe, 0. S., at its
late meeting inßed Oak Church, passed reso
lutions cordially approving the initiatory
steps taken last spring by the General Assem
blies on the subject of reunion.
Congregational. —The First Cong. Church
in San Francisco has under dise,ussion a reso
lution declaring that frequent substitution of
Sunday-school concerts, addresses, etc., for
the regular exercises of school, is not cal
culated advance the bestinterests, or further
the views of the Sunday-school 'Organization.
—The General Conference of Massachusetts
has just held a deeply interesting meeting in
Northampton. Essays on subjects vital to
the cause of evangelization were read—On
the Outpouring of the Spirit in the Latter
Days, by President Hopkins, of Williams
College
; on Revivals ofßeligion, by Prof,
Taylor, of Amherst College • on Household
Religion and the Christian Training of Child
ren, by Rev. W. Woodworth . and on
"LT__ Ran 1 P NAVPQ
The reading was in each case followed by a
discussion, in. which many of the leading
ministers of the * State participated, and the
interest of which drew together a large audi
ence. Altogether it was characterized as
one of the most interesting sessions ever
held by the Conference.—The Congrega
tionalists have in Massachusetts one church
for every 2570 inhabitants, and nearly one
sixth of the, population are members of those
churches, The number of,pastors is steadily
decreasing, and the number of stated supplies
is just as steadily increasing. So says the
Boston Recorder. —Arrangements are made
for the installation of Dr. Boynton as pastor
of the new Cong. church in Washington, on
the 4th of October. Rev. Drs. Park, Kirk
and Todd, of Massachusetts, two ministers
from Connecticut, three from New York, and
one from Cleveland, Ohio, are invited as
part of the Council. The corner-stone of the
new church edifice is to be laid at the same
time.
Methodist.-Jacob Tome, Esq., of Port
Deposit, Maryland, has proposed to the
Trustees of the Methodist Episcopal Church
of that town, to build the congregation a new
church, costing $25,000, or to donate that
amount of money to the congregation for the
purpose.—The Methodist Protestant, of
Baltimore, says :—From all parts of our
Church we have cheering news. The Metho
dist Protestant Church enjoys largely the
favor of the Great Head of the Church.
We have a report of one hundred and fifty
conversions at the Kent camp-meeting; and
Rev. W. A. Crocker reports about seventy
conversions at a meeting at Fairfields, Vir
ginia, and a meeting in progress at Smyrna,
in the same State, at which twenty-five per
sons -have already been converted.—The
corner-stone of the. Western. Maryland Col
lege was laid at Westminster, Carroll county,
Md., on Thursday, the 6th - instant. The
college is under the auspices of the Metho
dist Protestant Church.—Bishop Kingsley
has arrived at San Francisco, the object of
his journey being to preside in the meeting
of the Pacific Conferences the present year.
—Bishop Clark has informed The Metho
dist of his intention to organize the Tennes
see work in his department into an Annual
Conference, on the 11th of October.
Episcopal.—The Episcopalians have estab
lished services, and are intending to erect a
church in Kennett Square, Chester county,
in this State. Until recently, the religious
influence there has been chiefly in• connec
tion with the "Progressive Friends." With
in a few years the, Presbyterians, and we be
lieve also the Methodists, haye gone success
fully. to work; and now comes on this further
Christian enterprise.—A clergyman who
quitted the Church of England for Rome in
1850, left behind him his Prayer Book, the
last time that he officiated, in the pulpit of a
Church, not a hundred miles from BKistol.
He has since returned to the Church of ng
land, and he had the satisfaction Yf receiving
a few days ago, by post, his long-lost. Prayer
Book, after having lain just sixteen years in
statu quo.
Baptist.—The National Baptist speaks
of the Baptist cause in the neighboring city
of Camden, N. J., as never more progres
sive than at present. From two churches,
with a membership of 463 in 1854, it has
grown to five churches with a membership
of 896—probably about corresponding with
the growth of the place.—The total of
baptisms in the churches of the West New
Jersey Association, during the ecclesiastical
year just passed, were 1039.—The Newton
Theological Seminary has just dedicated a
new hall, erected at an expense of $40,000.
-A convention of dolomites' from Bow •
Sabbath-schools in the region of the Schuyl
kill, above the city, was held in Pottstown
on the 11th inst. It was a pleasant and pro
fitable meeting.—Rev. P. H. Dam, pastor
of the Danish Baptist church in Racine,
Wis., has just made a tour in Nebraska,
where he learns that there are about, three
thousand Scandinavian settlers, including a
great number of Danish Baptists. Efforts
are in progress to gather them into churches,
and supply them with a ministry.
Reformed Dutch.—The Christian Intelli
gencer says of the late meeting of the Hudson
River Ministerial Association :—" The Asso
ciation is evidently increasing in favor among
our ministry along the river, and is a valua
ble instrument of literary and theological im
provement. No minister within its bounds
can afford to be without the stimulus and
aid it furnishes."—Rev. Ezra W. Collier
has been transferred from the pastorate in
Freehold, N. J., to that of the Second R.
D. Church, in Coxsackie, N. Y.—Mr.
George Seibert has been ordained and instal
led as pastor of the church in Middletown,
N. J.—Rev. C. L. Van Dyck, pastor in
Esopus, N. Y., died on the 13th inst. He
was a good man whose loss will be greatly
felt.
Foreign.— The Two Mission. Vessels at the
Antipodes.—The Melbourne Christian Re
view for June last says:—" During the past
month Melbourne has seen one mission ves
sel pass on her way to the South Seas, and
another is expected to arrive from them
daily.. The John Williams bears from Eng
land a good supply of laborers for the work
which the London Missionary Society is car
rying on in the Pacific. The Day Spring
comes to meet the Rev. Mr. Geddie, the
well-known missionary , of Aneiteum, who is
returning from Nova Scotia, with three new
laborers who have been sent forth by the Re
formed Presbyterian Church of Scotland.—.
Weekly Review.
Rornish Procession in Belgium.—A dis
cussion of some bitterness is going on at
present in Belgium concerning religious pro
cessions in the streets, in consequence of the
cholera making its appearance in that coun
try. M. Piercot, Burgomaster of Liege, con
sidered himself called upon to interdict the
procession of
.the Assumption in that town.
Thereupon arose great indignation among
the clerical journals,, and one of them even
went the length of declaring that an open
and energetic resistance ought to be organ
ized, and that no attention whatever ought to
be paid to the interdiction of the. authori
ties. Of course, the other organs of the
press replied, and angry articles are passing
on both sides.
Action Against the Ritualists.—The pro
ceedings against the Rev. T. B. Simpson,
for certain alleged illegal ritualistic practices
in the parish church of West. Teignmouth,
have, with consent of the Bishop of Ex
eter, been aken into the Court of Arches,
and the hearing will probably come on about
the 14th of November.
Alteration of the Methodist Itinerancy in
Scotland.—Atter some debate in the Wes
leyan Conference, recently assembled in
Leeds, it was determined that the law should
be so far altered as to admit of a minister's
return to the same pastoral Charge after an
absence of three years. [Then why leave at
all?]
Gift to the Waldenses.—The Russian Am
bassador at the court of Victor Emmanuel
kas given $6OOO to the Waldensian Educa
tional Establishment, as a token of gratitude
for the spiritual benefit he received while at
tending the Widdensian worship in that
Progress of Christianity in India.—ln the
last report of the Bombay Bible Society we
find the fellofing interesting notice of the
advancement of the truth in India:—The
circulation of the Scriptures has been greater
during 1865ihart during any year since 1855.
The numbs" of copies issued during the year
exceeded tat of the previous year by more
than one-lalf. There had been sold in Bom
bay 4920 lopies and " portions." The total
i ssues bythe Society for the year has been
13,203 ; ii English, 3569; Marathi, 5405;
Gujerath 973;-other languages, 3256. The
most ineresting feature, in the work of
the Sociey is that it is gradually extending
