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.

' 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

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. ' ' (

GERMANY.
1866 will be d yekr to date fromin Ger
many’;’-a year tKaV‘haS ?, dbne > niuch towipe'
but the conservative bargains (we' cannbt call 1
them treaties) of 1815, and to sweeteh-and
sober German life and'thought iff the'future;
as well as to destroy’the political''power that
Jesuitism built up -for the Romish Church qm
the miseries of the Thirty. 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

suppression of idolatry, but sorngjof itsiadher
rents go on to eulogize Christ as “ an Asiat

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. In Australasia, the many
scattered fields (with the exception of Tahiti)
reported blessed results, in spite of lioman
Catholic interference .and-persecutionV. , In
the Sarubpiph Islomdsi Bishop Staley s his
trionic mission has not met with thei success
anticipated, and both the English and the
American Episcopal Churches ijefiise to sus

Are you.sick, feeble and complain
: H ing ? Are you out of order with your
system deranged and your feelings
! uncomfortable? These symptoms are
7 often the prelude Co serious illness.
ML'S/ Some fit of sickness, is creeping upon
. M you, and should b.eat.erted by atime
. w % .ly use of the right remedy. Take
Ayer's Pills, and cleanse out the disordered humors
—purify the blood, and let the fluids 1 move onunob
structediD health again. They stimulate the func
tions of the body into vigorous activity, purify the
system from thre’ obstructions which "make disease.
A cold settlds somdwhere in the bodr. and deranges
its natural functions. These, if not relieved; react,
upon themselves; and the surrounding .organs, pro-"
ducing general aggravation, suffering and derange
ment.- While in this take Ayer's Pills, and
see how directly they restore the action of;
the system, and with it the buoyant feeling of health
again. What is true and so apparent in.,this trivial
and common complaint is also true in many of the
deep seated ana dangerous .distempers. The same
purgative effect expels them. Caused by similar ob
struction.- and derangements,of.the natural functions
of the body, they are rapidly and many of them sure
ly.oozed by the same -means,. None who know the
virthe "of these Pills will hegledt to employ them
whenaufferirig from,the disorders, they cure,such as
Headache, Foul Stomach, Dysentery,. Bilious Com-'
