ble gestures ; with an earnestness of manner t hat showed that his whole soul was on fire; ne ver awed by the fear of anyready to d o go od in any way, whether in approved or una pproved modes, if the hearts of men could b e reached ; at home, alike in the fields, in the highways, and in the sanctuary; preaching eve yrwhere, talking everywhere, praying everywhere ; most fearful :in his warnings o f :,.inners, most powerful in his denuncia tions of guilt, most terrible in portraying the w rath to come, and yet most affable, genial, pl e asant in his intercourse with men—he fired and labored for the solg purpose of con verting men. He had an unwavering faith in revivals of religion, and his ministry was w ade up of successive revivals rapidly fol lowing each other, bringing great multitudes i n to the kingdom of God. Pr. Lyman Beecher,—than whom there h a s been, in our country, no man more elo quent in theßulpit ; no man that could make a more affecffve use of the Anglo-Saxon lan- I re. Clear, rapid, discriminating.; plac- I DE truth in a few words, in the light of a s unbeam ; rising often to the hig flihts of oratory ; often exhibiting the mosthest beagutiful poetic conceptions in language most expres oe of those conceptions ; and then, as with a ..ledge-hammer, driving great . thoughts t hrough the soul until you were pene trated through and through with them ; piling on arguments until you were crushed an d weary ; not always equal, and some times falling so low that you wondered w h e re was the great power of the man—but even then in what seemed to be tame, and dull, and sombre, like a dull day, by some new and startling thought suddenly illumi— nating all as by a flash from the heavens— I v labored, too, for revivals of religion, I have sat while he was urging great thoughts through my soul till ',was weary and could bear no more. His eye was then eloquent ; t he adjusting of his spectacles was eloquent; his whole manner was eloquent.' He sought revivals as the glorious triumph of the Gos pel; and his• great thoughts and his keen words were designed 'to secure this result. There has been but one man in this country that understood the Saxon part of our lan-. nage as well as Dr. Beecher—Daniel Web ster. Pr. Brainerd, whether he was conscious of any influence from these sources or not, car ried much of all this 'into his subsequent Ide; and his style of public speaking was formed much on these models. He would have risen high in the profession which he had first chosen. He had been endowed with those talents which we naturally associate with the best efforts at the bar—a deep knowledge of human nature ; a quick per ception of the point at issue; power of dis entangling that f'rom all other points ; skill in debate ; abttndance of illustration and of anecdotes ; the power of perceiving the weak points of an adversary and the strong points of his own cause ; keenness of sarcasm and invective, if necessary,. the power of an ticipating the point of defence of an adver sary; readiness in summoning to his memory all that he knew ; and a power seldom equalled of showing the heinousness of milt, and the evils of a violation of law. Dr. Brainerd's power eminently was that of a public speaker—a public Speaker in reg ular and set discourses, but perhaps more strikingly in debate. His early opportunities of scholarship had not been great, and the state of his health and his abundant public duties and his active life had prevented his greatly enlarging his scholarship. He had, indeed, by reading, by observation, by con versation, stored his 'mind with ^a great amount of information on the subjects most important for him to know; but it did not pertain, in any remarkable degree, to either Fientific or literary subjects. Of information to be derived from the daily press, perhaps no man surpassed him ; of information de rived from observation and a keen sagacity, there were none of his brethren who were his equals. His literary labors were mostly confined, with one exception, which I shall have occasion to notice, to a few sermons, to a few articles in our Quarterly, Review, and to the newspaper press. To the latter, alike by his taste and by his conviction that in this way truth could be best promulgated, regu lating the public mind and correcting public errors, he contributed much ; and there are few men, even of those devoted to the news paper press, that could reach the public in this way in, a more timely, sagacious, and effective manner. As a public speaker, alike in the pulpit and in deliberate bodies, with no particular advantage of manner, but with much, arising from his nervous temperament, that would seem to promise little, he yet had a power which few men possess. In preaching, he often plunged at once into the middle of his subject, and made most direct and earnest appeals to the reason and conscience; in de bate, he seized at once upon the real point in question, and pressed that with a power of argument, with a, fervor of language, with an amplitude of illustration, and with a severity of' invective and sarcasm, if necessary, which few men have ever exhibited in debate. His language in his public discourses, whether extemporary or written, was as nearly perfect as possible ; and often his happiest efforts— efforts seldom surpassed—were in extempo rary address. No man could use the English language better ; from the lips of no one could fall more pertinent and fit words ; more complete sentences ; more beautiful figures more striking illustrations. In description, in statement, in argument, in warning, in appeal, in invective, his language presented the best forms of our Anglo-Saxon tongue. Often in a public assembly—in such a vast concourse as was assembled in the great ball in 1857—when the interest of the meeting languished, a few words from him roused the vabt assembly ; when the course of things was taking an unprofitable direction, a few re- . harks from him, with no reflection cast on others, changed the , current of remark and feeling, and gave, in a moment, a new aspect to the course of things. When he fell so.suddenly by death, there occurred that of which the prophet Isaiah speaks as a great public calamity when God takes away " the eloquent orator;" or, as it is expressed mine appropriately in the margin, and with an eminent adaptedness to his case, "the skilful of speech." Isa. iii. 3. No Words could better describe Dr. Brainerd's eloquence than to say that he was " skilful of speech ;" none could better represent the impression which his eloquence made on his hearers. No man could hear him, in his happiest moods, without being impressed with the force and beauty of our own English tongue, and the greatness of the endowment or being able to speak in such words for truth and for God. For the endowment of being "skilful of Speech" is one of God's great gifts to man ; one of the noblest and the most marvelous of Our talents; one which, as much as any other, alike in the original power and in the highest forms of teat power, shows the Crea tor's greatness and wisdom. No philosopher has been able to explain how man at first learned to speak ; none could teach man to veak if God had not taught Adam ; none Rho deny the miraculous agency of the Crea tor can explain how it is. And it is worthy of such an origin as it had. Alike in the daily intercourse of life, in our business, in our etijoyments, and in all the great purposes of Divine Providence in the advancement of the interested' the world, it shows itself worthy of such an origin. For s.)eech has been connected with all the Purposes of jusace. It has been a prime THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN. THURSDAY, DECEMBER' 6, 1866. agent in the defence of liberty. It has been identified with the triumphs of religion and the salvation of souls. Speech in the Senate house; speech in the hall of justice; speech before a battle; speech in a pulpit has been identified with all the triumphs. of_ justice, liberty and religion in the world. There is no power like the power of Demosthenes, Cicero, Burke, Chatham, Webster. It sways the passions and the will and the intellect and the imaginations of men, as the trees of the forest are moved by the mighty winds,_ and, more than to the power of am in battle, is the progress of the world to be traced to the power of language. It is most noble, and reaches its highest and most distinct results, when employed in proclaiming the Gospel to men. The pulpit is its loftiest place, and there the purposes of God in speech are most signally accomplished. In defending . the truth of God, in proclaim ing his will, in publishing the great facts of redemption, in persuading men to turn from sin, in making known the realities of eter nity, in inviting a lost race to the cross—that is its hi hest office and its sublimek employ ment. Paul on Mars' Hill, in proclaiming, the Gospel, was greater than Demosthenes thundering against Philip ; Whitefield at the collieries was greater in the results of his speaking than Burke in the splendors of Westminster Hall on the trial of Warren Hastings, or than Patrick Henry when he summoned the American colonies to freedom. fttigiguz Pattitignut. PRESBYTERIAN. Idanehester, N. J.—This is a new, neat and growing town on the line of the Delaware and Raritan Bay Railroad. A Presbyterian Church has been built up, largely, owint, its existence and present prosperity to a resident clergyman, not a pastor, Rev. Wm. Forney. He has removed from the place, but in,so doing left behind a pleasant memorial in the shape of a good parsonage house with several acres of land attached, which he has donated to the church. On the 15th ult., Rev. James Petrie was installed in the pastorate by the Presbytery of Monmouth. Revival Measures. —At a Presbyterial Convention held at Crestline, Ohio, on the 13th ult., a thorough plan for the visitation of the churches with a view to spiritual edifi cation was adopted. It was also recommend ed that each member of each church spend at least fiteen minues of every evening in secret, prayer for the outpouring of God's Spirit upon the churches—say at the hour of 8 o'clock, P. M., as nearly as may be practi cable • and that special attention be'given to the Week of Prewzr ltr January 1:10[c - iv - air the churches in our bounds. Inatallation.—A committee of the Second Presbytery of Philadelphia met the congre gation of the Presbyterian church at Holmes burg, Pa., on the afternoon of Wednebday,' the 14th ult., and installed the Rev. Joseph F. Jennison as pastor of that church. Death in the Xinistry.—The Presbyterian Banner has the following notice of a deceased minister :—Died in the full hope of the Gos pel of Christ, at his residence in Springdale, Dane county, Wis., the Rev. James Donald, an able and faithful minister of the word. The churches of Verona and Blue Mounds, the Presbytery of Dane and the Synod of Wisconsin testify to the worth of, one we all loved and reverenced. . Missionary Periodical. The United Presbyterian Church of this country is about establishing a monthly magazine of mission ary intelligence, devoted especially to the foreign and domestic missions in its ecclesias tical connection. It is to be called the Mis sionary Trumpet, and will be published by Wm. S. Rentoul, of this city. In and Around Boston.—Rev. Mr. White, of New Jersey, is expected soon to settle over the church. at Antrim. A late graduate of Princeton is also called to the church in Newburyport, and Rev. Messrs. Bates and DeLancy are supplying the churches in Boston, at least temporarily, and it is thought the former may be induced •to take the pas torate of one of them. Valparaiso, Ind.—We learn that there is considerable religious interest in this church. A daily morning prayer-meeting has been in progress ,for more than three weeks, with constantly increasing attendance and interest. The church is beginning to awake to a sense of her duty. A considerable degree of anxiety is manifested by many hitherto lit penitent, and it is believed that there have been some genuine conversions. May it be but the beginning of greater things.—.N. W. Presbyterian. Call for a Church Organization.—The report of the proceedings of the fall meeting of the Rock Island Presbytery of the U. P. Church says:-"Presbytery received a peti tion for an organization at Colona, 111. We have been expendinglabor at this point dur ing the last year. We had not, nor have yet, unless recently organized, a single mem ber in the place ;—no U. P. nucleus to build to or on. And yet this petition for organiza tion came up to Presbytery zigned by nearly the entire population. Rev. Henry Wallace and session were appointed to organize at that , point, and administer the Lord's Sup per.' , The United Presbyterian Enterprise in San Francisco.-zlhe U. P. General Assembly of 1865 sent Rev. Dr. Cooper, of this city, to San Francisco, to inaugurate a church movement, it being their ,first on the Pacific coast. The doctor successfully accom plished his mission, by gathering a congre gation and organizing a church in San Fran cisco,-and then returned to his pastoral work here. A pastor for the new church has been found in the person of Rev'. M. M. Gibson, a young minister, but with some experience as a pastor in Ohio. Recent accounts from the Pacific state that Mr. Gibson has arrived and entered upon his work, and thait his earliest labors have produced an excellent impres sion. Synod .of KentnekT—This Synod held a special meeting in Lexington, Kentucky, on the 20th of November. We have no direct information in regard to its proceedings ; but a correspondent of one of the secular papers, writing from Lexington, says that the party adhering to the General Assembly was much stronger than had been supposed, and that in many places there were parts of churches adhering where it had4been announced that there were none. —Presbyterian. Southern General Assembly.—At the recent meeting of this body in 'Memphis, there was a lengtily and important debate as to ,the future ecclesiastical status of the colored people. The correspondent of the New York Irebune says of it:—" The discus sion showed a healthy and encouraging pro gress, and elicited remarks from some of the speakers that smacked of Fauteuil Hall and Plymouth Church. For instance, the Rev, Dr. Atkinson, in moving an amendment to the resolution, contended that there was nothing in Scripture or the Standards of the Church to. - prohibit colored_ persons from holding the office of deacon, ruling elder, or minister of God, and that in their Church sessions and Assemblies they are entitled, to a treatment of perfect equality. He con. tended that it was the Gospel that caste and prejudice' would be broken } flown, and that anything that stood in the way of the Gospel should be destroyed. Others re cont i nded tha innovations would surely sult n misce t genation and' negro equality. The general tenor of debate, however, showed natural progress in the right direction." South. —The contemplated Presbytery, with Baltimore for its centre, to be composed of ministers and churches lately in the 0. S. Church, but Southern in spirit, and disaf fected by the action of their Assembly, has at length become a fact. It was organized in Baltimore on the 23d ultimo, under the name of the Presbytery of Patapsco, and con sists of the following members and churches: —Rev. J. Bullock,-D.D., Rev. J. B. Ross, Rev. J. A. Lefevre, and Rev. Samuel Roach Jones, D.D., late pastor in Bridgeton, N. J., and the Franklin Street, Franklin Square and West River Churches. As we under stand, however, there is still an uncertainty respecting the Franklin Square Church, each of the two parties therein claiming the succession. Dr. Jones is the Moderator of .the new Presbytery, which stands indepen dent for the present, but we doubt not will eventually form a connection with the South ern Assembly. In the course of the remarks made at the meeting for organization Dr. Bullock stated that a movement was on' foot in PennsylAnia for some emphatic demon stration, whether of this exact kind or not, was not stated. Reformed Dutch.—A new church of this order, designed for the German-speaking population, is going up in Astoria, on Long Island.—A pastor, Rev. Henry Uiterwyck, was ordained and installed over a church of Hollanders in New York on the 28th ult. —The crisis in the finances of the Re formed Dutch Church's Board of Foreign Missions has, been met. The Intelligencer says:—" With hearty thankfulness to God we announce that Warren Ackerman, Esq., of this city, has obligated himself to give to the Board of Foreign Missions the sum of $56,500, of which $46,500 are to be appro priated to the payment of the present debt and liabilities of the Board, and $lO,OOO are• to be added to the invested funds. This opportune and Christian aid relieve's the Board from past indebtedness but not from the pressure of present obligations to furnish the missions with sufficient means to remove wants long existing and extremely urgent. Any abatement in the liberality of the churches will be highly injurious." Congregational.—A revival of more than usual power is going forward in South Deer field, Mass. An unhappy religious dissension _had previously divided the parish into two rival parts. A short time since, there was a healing of the sore and s reunion under one pastor. The revival followed, About one hundred conversions are suosed to have . • , 1 ity -- lias" mainly become Christian, and many who were supposed to have passed beyond the reach of converting influences, are now enrolled among the followers of Christ.—Maj.-Gen. 0. 0. Howard , has teamed from New England to Washington, after a, somewhat successful agency in'behalf of the pecuniary interests of the 'Congregational Church in the latter place.—The Trustees of the Andover-Theo logical Seminary have authorized the faculty to admit to the privileges of the Seminary such young men desiring to pursue an abridged course, of theological study, when circumstances do not allow them to pursue a full course, as in their judgment give promise of usefulness in the Christian ministry.— Rev. Austin Richards, D.D., after a pastorate of thirty years, has taken his dismission from the Olive Street Church, Nashua, N. H. The dismission is the result of a divided state of feeling in the parish, growing out of a col loglieship.—Rev. A. W. Burnham, D.D., alter a pastorate of forty-four years in Rindge, N. H., has retired with the kindest and best feeling on all sides. He was complimented with apublic meeting of his congregation and the citizens generally, held in the town hall to give expression to their regard for him, accompanied by a generous donation.— The religious interest in Reading, Mass., continues to increase.—More than thirty have recently" come into the kingdom in East Fairhaven, Mass., and the interest is extend ing to the villages around.---Rev. Selah R. Arms; of Springfield, Mass., died on the 16th ult., aged 77 years.—A Congregational church has been organized in Johnson, Web ster county, lowa.----Revivals are reported from Otho and Sumner, Iowa • ---A Congre gational church has been organized in Mur phy, California, and Rev. Caleb Morgan ordained and, installed, as pastor. Episcopal—Several Southern Episcopal Bishops and Lay Trustees are taking •mea sures to revive the project inaugurated be fore the war, of founding a university of the highest grade, under the auspices of the Episcopal church in , the Dioceses of South Carolina,Georgi4,.Alabama, Tennessee, Ar kansas, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas. President Johnson hag subscribed $lOOO toward the purchase of the late Marine Hos pital at Charleston, S. C., by the Episcopa lians of that city, to be- used as an orphans' home and school for the children of the freedmen.—A " Church building Society of the Protestant` Episcopal Church" has just been organized. Its object is to assist public parishes in the erection of churches. The meeting for organization was held in this city.—lndian advice announces' the death of the Bishop of Calcutta. He was on his return to Calcutta from Assam, whither he had gone on apastoral visit about a month previously. Kooshtea is a railway station from which the line runs to Calcutta, so that his Lordship had just com pleted his journey by river when the accident occurred which resulted in. his death. Methodist. —The Board of Managers of the missionary work of the M. E. Church, at their meeting last month, made their year ly appropriations. Considerably increased amounts were made to most of the missions, foreign and domestic. Liberal provision was made for the erection ofchuches for the poor in the Southern States and , provision was made for the opening oi* missions in Mexico and Central America. The Annual Confer. ences were admonished that, unless they should respond to the amounts apportioned to them severally, there would be a heavy debt on the treasury at the close of 1867. Lutheran.—lf there is no mistake in the following statement, contained in a letter to the Lutheran Observer, from a minister just returned from a Western tour, the distinction bitween the Evangelical (General Synod) and the self-named Old Lutheran (secession) parties in that Church, is likely to widen. At least, a general apprehension will be cre ated that the'practicesliamed are only a fore shadowing of the end of the revival of an intense liturgism. The letter says:—"ln many a church belonging to our Lutheran faith, where I entered as a silent and un known visitor, I was struck with all kind of fanatical and superstitious Roman Catholic customs. The burning of wax tapers on the altar, crucifixes, so called holy pictures, flowers, expulsion of the devil by the sign of the cross in, infant baptism, and many other remnants-of the Papal Church, seem to, be the order of the day."—The Lutheran Synod of Patsburgh has by a vote of 51 to 23, withdrawn from the 'General Synod, on the plea that the latter is unfaithful to the Confeksion of the Fathers of the Church. This, of course, is preliminkry to falling in :with the projected rivar General Synod.-- St. Andrew's Church, a recent Philadelphia organization under the pastorate of Dr. Stork, has purchased the lot at the southwest corner of Broad and Arch streets, for the erection of a stone edifice next spring. The building will be of pure Gothic style, with two lofty spires. The congregation at present worship in the hall on the northwest corner. MISSIONARY India.—Rev: Mr. Taylor, of the Church of Scotland Missidn, writes :—" Missions on the Punjaub are now gaining a larger number of converts, and of a superior class. About i two months ago a Moulvie of Lahore, and his brother, both famous for ability, made a public profession of Christianity. One of them is in ,a high position in the office of the Director of Public Instruction, and is the compiler of many of the government - school books so that his name is well known throughout the province. I understand that, previous to his embracing Christianity, he sent 'a series of questions to the chief Moul vie of Lahore and Amritsar, challenging them to a- defence of Mahommedanism. No voice was raised in reply, so that his avowal of Chiistianity makes it all the more striking ly a triumph of the Gospel.", a, The Orissa Baptist Missimimakes efficient use of the printing press. In the report for 1865-6, now before us, we find that the total number of pages printed during the year amounted to not less than 1,205,880. The Old Testament (in super-royal 8vo) is now in the press, and also a pocket Testament. The latter is toi be out this year. China.—The Rev., William -N. Hale, of the Methodist New Connection, writes from Tientsin: The one fact of the past year which most"significantly attests the progress of our cause, and brings the greatest joy to our hearts, is the awakened and sustained in terest of so many native women in the truths of our bleased religion. We have often had to lament over the failure'of means used for this end, but at length, and manifestly in answer to special prayer, we are permitted to behold the strength of , prejudice yielding to the attractions of the Cross, and the pleasing sight of mothers and`daughters listening with fixed attention to the preaching of Christ is now a thing of frequent occurrence. " The average weekly attendance is about seventy. Several of these have been baptized and re ceived into church 7 fellowship during the year; others of them are candidates for baptism, and of many more we are hopeful that they will be gathered into the Saviour's fold. The Hey. W. C. Burns continues to carry on the work of transla r tion at'Pekin. He has caused to be printed the first part of the " Pilgrim's Progress," in the mandarin col:_ - —4 a "farm-of 'ay: i Wilier and simplet than the iterary style in which ' it was formerly published. He has been occupied of late with the second part, which he expects--in the course of the year to have printed, illustiated with sketches as the first part was. He - has also completed the trans lation of the Book of Psalms in a simpler style than it had hitherto appeared in, which has been a great labor. While the psalms are not put into verse, the translation made to run into sentences of a fixed length; and not only his it been attempted to pre serve the "parallelism" which is so marked a feature of Hebrew poetry, but the different members of the parallelism are generally made to balance each other in the number of words and sentences which each contains. This, he hopes, will make the work more agreeable to the Chinese reader, and also correspond in some degree with the fact that the original is poetry, not prose. General Lee's College.—A student under the Presidency of this arch-traitor and rebel in the interest of 'slavery, has within a few days, done such an act as might have been expected. He has shot, down, in a passion of chivalrous` insolence , a respectable colored man, who had simply been watching him as he conversed, with what intention may be imagined, with a negro girl at dark in the streets of Lexington. And the conduct of the Virginia judge was, such as might be expected where a pro-slavery rebellion is considered in the highest degree respectable. The de spatch says : The negro died.before morn ing, but lived long enough to testify against his murderer. On the trial the pistol was produced and all • the facts proved. The Judge, after: hearing all the testimony, in cluding the statement of the student himself, decided that the laws of Virginia have always recognized:the difference between the white man and the black; that It white man may protect 'himself from negro insults; that though the deed was clearly proved, it was the result of the insult; and that, therefore, he should _.;discharge the defendant from custody."
