e Christian church, which assert ministerial parity
id outward organic union in church order, and the
igustinian or Calvinistic doctrines in matters of

Not Willing To Go . —At the last meeting of the

•esbyterian Church, Old School, was dedicated at
dumbia, Tenn., on the 23d of December. The edi
;e is 35 by 60 feet, two stories ; and is designed both
ir a church and school. The freedmen manifest
, little interest in having an organization of their
svn, elders of their own, grounds and buildings of
leir own, deeded to them. This is, perhaps, the
jt dedication of the kind in the Old School connec

The Western Presbyterian Centenary is elicit
' facts as to the early history of the West. The
)tist claim that the first Church founded in the
.e of Ohio was the Baptist Church at Columbia,
ir Cincinnati. That was just 76 years ago. On
i other hand, the Presbyterians claim that a Pres
ierian Church was founded at Marietta, Rev. Mr.
>rey, pastor, eight months previously to this. The
Presbyterian Church organized in Cincinnati,
liy Rev. James Kemper, in 1790.' The first
ihodist sermon preached in Ohio was by Rev.
.in Kohler, in 1780.
Presbyterianism in New Hampshire. The
itch Irish Presbyterians came to N ew Hampshire
early as 1719. The first settlement waß made in
e southern part of the State upon the large tract
ion after known as Londonderry. Accessions were
irly and numerously made to the colony chiefly by
■ migration, and soon the tide took a northwesterly
iurse until the towns of Bedford, New Boston,
itersboro,’ and Antrim were peopled with sturdy
in of faith and prayer. Hence, wherever they
icatedin sufficient numbers to form churches, they
lopted the Presbyterian policy.
There* are now seven Presbyterian churches in
lie State—Antrim, New Boston, Bedford, London
derry, Windham, Manchester, and Litchfield. The
first five of these are strong vigorous churches, with
an aggregate membership of over nine hundred.
The church of Manchester, located on the west side
of the river in the suburban village of Piscataquog,
is a missionary enterprise organized in 1859. It has
struggled for life amid many unpropitious circum
stances, and is now in a feeble state without a stated
supply or regular worship. The church of Litch
field, though situated in the " intervale” of the Mer
rimac, of unsurpassed fertility, in a beautiful street,
and in the richest town in the State for its popula
tion, lias never enjoyed marked prosperity. In the
town of Windham, Litchfield, and Bedford, no other
ecclesiatical organizations exist. Antrim, Litchfield
and Windham are without settled pastors.
There are other fragmentary Presbyterian ele
ments in the State. Until within a few years Peters
boro’had a Presbyterian polity. The nucleus of

THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, JANUARY 21, 1867.
“The First Church of Derry” is a union of Presby
terian and Congregational elements. And during
the long pastorate of the late Mr. Parker, it was
regularly represented in’the Presbytery of London
derry. The First Congregational Church of Derry,
was formed iu part of a section of the Londonderry
Church, when its present house of worship was
erected on a new site in 1837. The town of Auburn
in other years had a Presbyterian Cliurcb. And
from all those old Presbyterian towns there have
migrated to Manchester, Nashua and many other
cities and villages many families of sterling worth,
that have become very pillars in Congregational
churches in those places. —Congregationalism
[New Jersey, then, is not the only State in which
churches have changed their relations in large num
bers.]
Installation. —The Rev. D. C. Frank, for several
years pastor of a Congregational Church in Canada
East, has been installed pastor of the Presbyterian
Church in New Boston, N. H., by the Presbytery of
Londonderry.
The Reactionists of the 0. S. Church have
alarmed our contemporary, the Presbyterian, at last.
One oftheir articles (signed “A Minority Man,”) has
been rejected, and the whole series, with additions,
is announced as coming out in pamphlet form. Bet
ter have refused the first of them.
Result of Revival Work. —The bounds of the
0. S. Synod of Pittsburg, have been the scene of re
peated Presbyterial conventions, to discuss such
questions as “What is a revival? What means
ought to be employed in seeking a revival, and what
encouragements have we to use them ? What hin
derances stand in the way ? How can they be
removed or overcome?” As a result, the five Pres
byteries composing it report accessions of 603 in
1864, 686 in 1865, and 1125 in 1866.
Pacific Coast. —A new Presbyterian Church (0.
5.,) has been organized at Visalia, Cal. The nearest
Presbyierian church is 175 miles distant, at Stock
ton. Fourteen members have come forward, and
others are expected.
Revivals. — Payne; 0., church is enjoying an en
couraging revival. Twenty members were added at
New London , Pa., at the last communion, making
seventy during 1865-66. . At German Valley , N, J.,
over forty have been awakened, most of whom ex
press hope in Christ. At Petersburgh, 111., over
fifty conversions are reported. A work of grace is
in progress at Lycoming Centre, Pa.; many are
hopefully converted, and the church is expected to
treble its numbers.
Dedication. —On Sabbath, the 23d of December,
a church edifice was dedicated to the service of God,
at Mechanicsville, Cedar Co., lowa. The Church
was organized eleven years ago, and has been self
sustaining for five years. *
Dead. —Judge Perkins, of the “ Oaks,” near Co
umbus, Mississippi, who died recently, in the eighty
sixth year of his age, gave within the last few years
not less than $BO,OOO for Christian uses. He gave
the Theological Seminary at Columbia, sixty thou
sand dollars, ($60,000) forty thousand of which went
to endow the professorship of “ Natural Sciences in
'connection with Revealed Religion.”
A Veteran Gone* —Rev. John Munson, so long
known in the Presbytery of Allegheny as “Father
Munson,” died at his residence in London, Mercer
county, Pa., on the 18th of December, in the eighty
third year of his age. His ministry in that county
had extended over a period of more than forty
years.
Dr. Wadsworth to Stay in California. We are
glad, sayiiHie Pacific of Dec. 27 th, to have the as
surance coopained in the Times of the 24th, thatthe
.excellent Doctor has decided to remain here, not
withstanding the urgent call he has had to go East.
His sermon of Sunday last, in behalf of the Protes
tant Orphan Asylum, was remarkably pathetic and
eloquent. Judging his pulpit performances by the
sermons we have heard and read, we should pro
nounce them rich spiritual and intellectual feasts.
First E eformed Presbyterian Church of New
York. —The Rev. Dr. McLeod delivered a discourse,
Sabbath, Jan. 13, commemorative of the seventieth
anniversary of the organization of the First Reformed
Presbyterian Church in that City. He stated that
for sixty-six years the pastorate lias been held by
father and sou, (Drs. Alex, and John N. McLeod,
successively; both being being installed at the age
of twenty-seven, and in the old Chambers St. Church;
and both having filled the pulpit for a period of
thirty-three years. During the past thirty-three
years some seventeen hundred and twenty-five per
sons had been admitted to the Church, and from
this organization over three others had been formed.
The Church was first organized at the house No. 15
Peck slip in 1797, thence to Chambers street in 1801,
and thence to 12th street. The congregation is now
in a flourishing condition, and claims to be the
oldest Presbyterian Church in New York, but one,
(Dr. Spring’s, O. S.) that has continued its original
ecclesiastical connection.
First R. P. Church, Phila— This “Mother of
Churches” has raised the pastor’s salary from $2,500
to $3,500, by a unanimous vote. The church was
established at the close of the last century, and has
sent out nearly thirty ministers of pie gospel, but
has only had two pastors—the present incumbent,
Dr. T. W. J. Wylie, being the son of the first, Dr.
S. B. Wylie, who was ordained in 1799. The mem
bership is estimated at about 800.
Death of a Pioneer Preacher. —Rev. John
W. Morrison died at Lake Forrest, 111., on the sth
inst. For a quarter of a century he preached the
Gospel, as a minister of the Reformed Presbyterian
Church, with clearness, eloquence, and fidelity. In
many a Western settlement the first sermon ever
preached was uttered by his voice, and the first
baptism was performed by his hands. The congre
gation of Bloom, where, for twenty-one years, he
was pastor, grew from a handful of Christless sett
lers into a large, intelligent, well-organized, praying
congregation under his ministry; and his funeral
exercises were blessed to the revival of religion in
the hearts of many who wept around his gralve.

sults, viz.: 2 Synods, 29 classes, 475 ministers, 1,162
congregations, 109,258 members, 70,432 unconfirmed
members, 11,088 baptisms, 6,811 confirmations,
2,392 received on certificates, 90,972 communed,
196 excommunicated, 1,244 dismissed, 4,169 deaths,
926 Sunday schools, 29,167 Sunday school scholars,

confirmations, 220 receptions on certificate, 59 Sun
day schools, 6,063 Sunday school scholars, and $l6, -
182 80 benevolent contributions. The decrease is

The Second Ref. Dutch Church, of Coxsackie,
reported on Thanksgiving day $5724 as subscribed
and paid during the year for improving the church
edifice and the purchase of a parsonage. Of this
sum $530 was the contribution of the ladies of the
congregation. ’ .
The "Residuary” Fund of Scotland—ln
fluential members of the Presbyterian Establish
ment, have formed an organization to augment such
livings of parish- ministers as do not amount to
$lOOl per annum. The operations of the Associa
tion are to extend over the whole of Scotland, with
G 1 isgow for its centra.
The Professorship of Evangelistic Theology. —
Dr. Duff, taking the matter in hand with his cnar
acteristic energy and zeal, has succeeded in raising
£lO,OOO ($50,000,) for the endowment of this new
Free Church professorship, and has consented to
allow himself to be nominated for the position. His
nomination is understood to be equivalent to his
unanimous appointment, as the other candidates
have withdrawn their names.
OTHER DENOMINATIONS.
Baptist. —Rev. J. A. Smith, D. D., in a commu
nication to the Western Pulpit on the subdivisions
and prospects of the union of the Baptist denomi
nation, furnishes these statistics : Regular Baptists,
1,040,303; Disciples, Campbellites, 300,000; Free
will Baptists, 56,738; Seventh-Day Baptists, 6,686;
Six Principles Baptists, 3,000; Winnebrennarians,
23,800; Antimission Baptists, 50,000; Christians,
33,640; Dunkers, 20,000. Total, 1,544)167. Of
these the “Christians” reject the doctrines of the
Trinity, and the Campbellites undervalue Christian
experience, bolding faith to be an intellectual assent
to the truth. Gifts in 1866.—Mr. Vassal, of
Poughkeepsie, has given nearly $500,000; Gardner
Colby, of Boston, $75,000; Colgate & . Trevor, of
New York, $75,000; Tracy H. Harris, of New
York, $25,000; John Rathbone, $25,000. Besides
these gifts, mostly for educational purposes, Roches
ter University has received $200,000; Lewisburg
University, Pa., $100,000; and Brown University,
two or three thousand dollars, from Baptists in
Rhode Island and elsewhere.
Methodist. — Zion's Herald estimates the aggre
gate of the centenary collections at $3,671,784; of
which New York State gives $1,360,257, and Ohio,
$695,792. Our own State cum magno inlervallo se
quitur, giving $258,976, and Massachusetts $236,023.
Moravian. —The German branch of the Unitas
Fratrum numbers 14,240 adult communicants. “In
the missions there are 32,339 baptized adults, in all
70,235, counting candidates (12,089) and children.
They have eighty-nine mission stations, and 307
preaching places. There are 162 male and 151 fe
male missionaries, 882 male and female native as
sistants, a total of 1,195 laborers in the foreign
mission field.”— Moravian.
Missionary. — Madagascar. —ln church fellow
ship there are now 4>374 persons, representing a
total Christian population of between 16,000 and
18,000. Some of the Bibles, which were presented
by the first missionaries, almost forty years ago,
were preserved, and often stealthily read during
Ranavalona’s long reign: one of the present mis
sionaries obtained a copy which had been carefully
read by the people. In the time of the persecution
they seem to have had intelligent and pious men to
instruct and guide them.
