Til ffii&lllS MU UHll ANNUAL SURVEY FOR 1866. sseiASß The year has been an eventful one in more respects than one. The administration of political power has changed hands, and a great political agitation threatens a new transfer, with the possibility of a revolution, the claims of the working classes are acceded to. The Rinderpest, at the begin ning of the year, threatened the destruction of John Bull’s well-fed cattle-; toward .its close, the cholera spread its ravages among Iris ill-fed workmen. Though a wide-spread and boastful conspiracy threatens to wrest away one of the “United Kingdoms,” and has assailed one of her most cherished de pendencies, yet peace has been England’s portion; and .while all Central Europe was convulsed with war, she was engaged in lay ing that great Atlantic Telegraph, which will do much to bind the nations in Christian amity. . In the Church, on the other hand, the year has not been a quiet one. The Anglo l Catho lic party have pushed their practices and pretensions to such a pitch, that many other wise most indifferent persons have been aroused to resistance. Englishmen may well fear when the Church of their fathers claims to rest on some quasi-miraculous priestly power and some indefinite Catholic tradition, "rather than on the collective life of Christian homes joined in one household of faith, and on the sure word of God. Ou. the other hand, the growing rationalist party are, if possible, still more dangerous to her peace. They are growing by reaction Against the narrow onesideness of ritualism, which, in turn, reacts against their unbelief. The danger that lies before England is, that she may yet run the face of the unreformed Latin nations, in unceasing alternation be tween the extremes of unbelief and the ex tremes of superstition. But the picture has its bright side —a very bright side. Never were so many earnest and devoted men working so hard to supple ment the deficiencies of the Church organiza tion; never was “the condition-of-England question’' ’discussed and met in a more Chris tian spirit.- 'Never was the publie conscience more active against public wrong-doing. The indignation against Governor Eyre forced a ■covert regret from Parliament. Evangelistic and revival work is wide spread and systematic. Lay and clerical preachers, under the direction of London -societies, have gone out into every district. .Ready workers havp “watched for souls,” and in the words ol the Revival, “the Lord’s hunters are upon every hill. ” Efforts for social and political regeneration jwere never more active, though ofifen mis f directed. There seems:to,be a growing con viction that any permanent reformation in Church and State must begin in the homes of the people, and’that —so long as their squalid condition drives the workmen to the .gin palace, and the pressure of poverty sepa rates mother and children —only the branches of social evil are-attacked. In behalf the homeless classes, a wide-spread interest has been excited, and “unfortunates,” “casuals,” mendicants and paupers have , ail in turn had the public ear. The necessity for political reform is amply ■evident from the scandalous facts elicited in fegard to electoral-corruption—involving cler-r •gymen and professional, men of high stand ing ; and ill the fact that class legislation is still the rule;‘ measiurfes “to stamp out the Rinderpest”, were' passed a few days after Parliament met, but a bill to provide homes for thousands of families left homeless by the erection of public works, was hustled to the end of the session and then shelved. On the ether hand, the workingmen have shown, by a general orderliness, and by a firm.resistance to the Sabbath-breakers’, ‘league,” how largely-tbeir moral sense and self-control can be relied upon. In Church matters, the main points of interest beyond those already noticed, are the advance of Presbyterianism and the moveinent for union. - The Scotch element in England—-numbering hundreds of thoiP sands —has hitherto been absorbed by the dissenting sects, or lost to the Church, An effort to establish their national church life in Engjand has been largely successful, and the. union of the principal-branches, if suc cessful, will remove much-existing friction in the work. A movement for union between Baptists add Independents, and between the'various Metfaodißti(bodiesi 'has not yetrled to any fruit. Borne of fhese seotSjare ft a more liturgib form of,worship. ' The cause of national education has greatly Advanced 1 in England during the past ten -years, and? the ’national" schools have been attended by a very- large proportion of the -<c££k£foh' of the'nation. Much excitement was caused by?ai rdeenttlaw allowing dissent ers to withdraw their.children from national ■■schools .during the, hour for religious instruc tion, where the school is under Church pat ronage. A movement, begun in 1850, to edu cate workingmen and'women, and to substi tute “national education” for the mere Juvenile instruction, which goes by that name, meets with has enlisted the ser vices of men in the highest ranks of the lite rary world. - It would be unfair to omit mention of the efforts made by English philanthropists, -especially in Bradford and Birmingham and «mong the Society of Friends, in behalf A? the Fteedmen of America. The necrology of the year is not important. Dr. Whewell and the High Church poets, K.eble and Neale, are the-most prominent in- KSividuals removed by death. SCOTLAND. The staid k'uks of this Presbyterian coun try have not been uninfluenced by the ten dencies at work in England. Ritualistic and ‘“free thought” parties (on a very small soxlej have raised their heads, and the long tabooed organ r and hymns are coming into tfavot in some quarters, though the highland ...parishes still stand, on: the defensive. But she .great feature of the year and country has Ibeen the movement to unite the churches fflpfifeoff. from the in 1688, K 43 and'lB4s, In the early part ot the year, public sentiment was attuned ,to this fey monster meetings and' soirees, and, when tie supreme courts of judicature met in May, the reports of the joint committee were very favorably received and transmitted to the Presbyteries. Although the two main parties have failed to agree on some abstract ques tions, and although two Free Church doc tors have' deserted the committee, there is still a fair prospect of success. The revivals on the north-east coast and In the mining 'districts deserve grateful men tion. IRELAND. The monster frolic known as the Fenian movement has agitated Ireland during the most of the year.' In spite of the opposition •of the hierarcy and the jealous watchfulness of the,government, it seems to have pervad ed thobulk of the Catholic population ; while the authorities fear to provoke hostilities by arming the Orange party. :. *« ■ The most prominent Church questions of the year have been, the abolition of the Es tablishment and the control of education. The Irish Church has not done what it was meant to do, and has no moral right to re tain its present endowments. But to touch them is to destroy the prestige of all the land tenure in the three kingdoms, in a way that would open the road for a sweeping agrari anism; as the Church's right to glebes and tithes antedates almost every other title in the kingdom. Hence the hesitancy of states men and the partisanship of landlords. . The efforts of the Homan Catholic hierar chy to do away with mixed education have not been entirely successful. The measures of the government to place Maynooth on a footing of equality with the Queen’s colleges have been declared illegal. The Irish Church (Episcopal) is in a large degree-a working Church, now, but largely, too, “ as men that beat the air.” tige is so bad with the mass of the people, that she is rather a hindrance than a help to Home Missionary'Work. The Presbyterian Church, purged of here sy and united, for the most part, under one assembly, is rapidly advancing to fill up the field opened up in the south and west by the famine of 1848. It is hoped'that her mem bers may be aroused to support the ministry in a way that will obviate the necessity for the Regium Donum., and so allow of an en tire union of all branches of the Church. The death of Dr. Edgar was an- event of marked importance. FSAS'CE. 'L'Empire, cest la paix, or at least has been for some time, But peace is not.pros perity. The upper classes have been ruined by the extravagance to which the example of Eugenie and.the policy of Napoleon has urged them, while the mass of the people are as unstable as people must be who live in the street, dine at a cafe and sleep in homeless rooms. The manufacturing districts have been suffering from the “blessings” of free trade, and wide-spread inundations and bad harvests have reached other classes. In the Romish Church the national. and the popish parties have, been more widely separated over the questions of the temporal power and infallibility of the Pope (rather than of the Church), and indications have not been wanting that the Mahommedan dogma of the immaculate conception is.re jected by men high in rank and'authority. The liberal Catholics openly avow that they regard Protestants ,as their allies- against superstition and scepticism. The Reformed Church has made the year an eventful one. The orthodox party, victo rious at the polls, determined to, purge the pulpit of free-thinkers and tried to pension M. Pasdhoud into the retirement of private life. The minister of- worship reversed their decision, and they at once, deposed,Paschond from office. ' The national conference at the’ same time took measures to prescribe a 'reli gious test for all who vote in Church elections., The rationalists withdrew and- organized a separate conference, and the churches have been sending in their adherence to one or the other. The orthodox party now ask the State to allow them to restore Synodic govern ment. 1 The Free Church is on the increase, but is more weighty than numerous. Both Chur ches are active in exertions to meettherCli gious wants of the people, especially the young men, among.rwhom they are organizing Christian Unions. The infidels.of France are. growing bolder and more active. Materialism, reimported from Germany, has many adherents, while Socialism, which in 1848 rendered, the Empire a necessity, is dying out BEECIDH. Romanism is again on the throne, is rivalling Spain and the middle ages. Pro testantism, nominally free, has to conceal its operations. Infidelity is growing at home, and the nation is a general resort for sceptics fr<jm abroad. In politics, the anti-Papal party are in power, and act as a restraint upon the de basing fanaticism of the people. ' ' ( HCOULAND.

Years. War. - At the beginning of, the year, Austria and. Prussia were jealous rival powers, with a hundred petty States of a hundred various complexions, around and between them. Prussia was Protestant, but bureaucratic and despotic; Austria, in the hands of a Jesuit reaction, was persecuting nationalities and breaking faith with churches. The gummer’s war has placed Prussia in the foremost rank of the nations, wiped out half the petty sovereignties that swell the Almanack, de Gotha, has wrested VenStia from Austria, and forced her to concede national rights and religious liberty to her dependencies. Large concessions have been made by the Austrian Emperor to Protestants, and the,premiership of the empire is now occupied by one. Croatia, Illyrica, Moravia, Hungary, and Bohemia demand or have obtained- national parliaments and national armies, and Bohe mia seems about to number itself among the Protestant nations. ' Christian work in Germany was largely interrupted by the war, but has not ceased. The Sabbath-school cause -advances rapidly, and promises well for the Church, though the Germans hesitate to ,let.women “ teach religion.’” The great Christian reaction, which began with Schleiermacher and Harms, (who died'this year,), still continues, and' shows itself even in such men, as Schenkel, whose book, .(Recently translated _ by* Dr. Furness,) baa as'ft is, is a decided'improve ment upon Strauss and Bruno Bauer. Y ITALY. The year has seen Italian unity almost -consummated; ‘foreign forces withdrawn from Rome, and the temporal power an al most defenceless anomaly. The war conferred less glory on Italian arms than on Italian honor, by the refusal to abandon Prussia even when all that Italy asked was .offered in return. The defeats of Custozza and Lissa were somewhat compensated for by Garibal di’s successes in the Tyrol, and if peace had been postponed for a month, Prussians and Italians would have met at the gates, if not in the streets, of Vienna. In church matters, the Italian government have been sifting out abuses and “pulling down rookeries.” A Commission to inquire into the state of eoelesiastical education, showed that the old J esnit system was m full force, and led to a transfer of two-thirds of these revenues to secular education. Since the war, the monastic orders have been sup pressed and their revenues set apart for edu cational and religious purposes. Protestant mission-work in Italy has made slow but steady advances. Preachers, evan gelists, colporteurs, and deaconesses have labored unceasingly; “but what are they among so many ?” If the Protestant Chur ches of other lands had heartily and fully sus tained the true national Waldensian Church in its labors, instead of trying to. spread extra-national systems and ideas,, or to whiter wash Romanism or “liberalism” into Chris tianity, larger results might have been ex pected. Evangelistic work has been opposed by both the levity and indifference of half-educated ihfidels, and. the intolerance of the priests and their bigoted followers. The massacre at Barletta and the disturbances at Palermo showed how far this latter party are ready to go. They doubtless are' trying to organize, but have failed for want of life to cement their puny societies. OTHER COUNTRIES. • Spain.—The atmosphere of Spain grows more unhealthy as bigots succeed statesmen at the helm of affairs, and insurrections and executions grow too numerous fbr specifica tion. Infidelity still evades the Church’s inquisitorial grasp, and work for Christ and ms word is done in a corner. A revolution is anticipated. Russia. —Rumors of union between the Mary-worshipping Church of Rome and the Czar-worshipping Church of Russia were current for a while, but the plan came to nothing. Perfect religious liberty has been secured during the year, partly through the efforts of the Evangelical Alliance; which, we trust, will put an end to the troubles, of the Polish Roman Catholics, the Livonian Lutherans, and the independent Greek Churchmen. The best side of the Greek Church is be ing made use of for the good of the people, in the circulation of the vernacular Scriptures among the common people. Tnrkeyi—Mahommedan intolerance has been so far abated, through the good offices of the new British minister—Lord Lyons— as to allow of perfect liberty to abandon the Mahommedan faith. Local officials, under French and Egyptian influence, have goaded the Christians of Crete into insurrection, of which the end is not yet. The design seems to be to secure its annexation to Egypt. The war has beqn carried on with more than Oriental cruelty, and a Constantinopolitan’ has been advanced and “ decorated” for recommending the ex tinotidii of the Christians. There is a general rise of national feelings throughout the Turkish empire, which bodes no good- for its stability. Arabs, Arminiahs, Syrians, Greeks, and Bulgarians alike look forward to independence, and to a settlement of the Eastern question from within. The proposal to establish a Bible House at Constantinople, and a Protestant College in Syria, with the settlement of the Ameri can colony at Jaffa, are among the signs of the time's. British America.—The Feniah invasion of Canada and the burning of Quebec are the .main events. importance.. The, first did not gawsed iif gratifying Irish- longings for national* independence, by destroying the independence of an unoffending free people. The. second called out in large measure the Christian sympathies and benefactions of the people,, and gave Romanism another chance to show its exclusiveness and bigotry. The plan of confederation among the Brit ish Colonies is still pendant, and the Colonial delegates are in England to urge it upon the Home government. - It is hoped, that. it. will ' largely develop their strength and resources, and that it will take the control of public education in Lower Canada out of the hands of the priests. One Presbyteriaq union has been effected in the “Lower” or sea-board provinces, and others are in contemplation. Hymns and organs are under general discussion. Latin America.—The failure of Napoleon to establish a rival influence in Mexico, toj! counterbalance Anglo- Saxon influence on , ; this continent; the defeat,of Spain’s attempt to restore her South American dominions and the humiliation of the great “Slave Brazil, are .the most important evMts.pijheijear.y - , - .

A great Indian organization —the Brahmo Samaj—has been formed for the suppression of idolatry, but sorngjof itsiadher rents go on to eulogize Christ as “ an Asiat ic,” and One who died for the good of the world; and they will' probably not stop there. The American M. E. Mission, for instance, has twenty : on"e workers in a population as great as our Eastern and Middle States. In Persia , political oppression has been the means of driving many Nestorians to declare themselves Protestants, in order to escape the rule of their Malek or chief. The chol era, which has devastated this country, with Egypt, Syria, _ Asia Minor, Mesopotamia and Turkey, has impeded missionary work. In Madagascar, the advance has been unprece | dented; and as Queen Victoria has person ally and successfully interposed to secure religious liberty for the Christians, the result !is secure. In a few years“ this “ island of j martyrs” will be, a Christian country. In South Africa, the wars between Patchßoers ! and natives has interrupted the French mis sionary work.
