THE REFORMED CHURCHES. ie Reunion Committees. —ln view of the con dated meeting of these important committees, ew York, on the 20tli, the Presbyter, (0. S.) es the following suggestions: “Let there be a ;rt of prayer, in all our churches, on Wednes evening, February 20,, 1867,. the day of the ing of these committees, in which all the. peo nay'join in supplicating the Head of the Church al the breaches of Zion in his own good time way; to give a spirit of wisdom, of prudence charity to all our ministers and people, so that may be prepared for closer union; and that lie ' superintend and direct the deliberations and ions of the Committees, separately and jointly, is own glory and the good of the Church.” jults of Prejudice. —Rev. J. M. P. Atkin of Virginia., writes to the Central Presby !, of Richmond: “A letter recently received North Carolina, informs me that some 1500 :ed communicants in that State, and South Caro nearly all of whom, it is presumed, had he ed to our own communion—have placed them ’s under the care of the ministers of,the newly ized Presbytery of Catawba. That Presbytery, nr readers probably know, is in connection lie Northern Assembly, and lias colored men its ministers. The same letter also states, the remaining colored people once connected ur church, a number have left us to join de lations which they have lately learned to pre the Presbyterian Church. Men of that race he admitted into equal rights in a church, or will not join that church. Our brethren in the h. of other denominations, are rapidly, waking i the conviction of this truth, and are announc the purpose of receiving colored men into the istry. Declarations to this effect have very re ly been made by Dr. Quinlard, Bishop of the teopal Church of Tennessee, by the Bishop of Methodist Church in Texas, and by one or more he Roman Catholic Bishops in the Southern intre College, Ky. —There is a paragraph in Charter of this College, which settles the matter > which of the Synods of Kentucky is the true id, but which the law-makers of that State are ig to set aside.

This does hot equal the number of students last year.—A letter has been received by the students from the Furruk habad Mission, in Northern India, elicited by the report that for a year past not one from any Semi nary of the O. S. Church had offered to go to preach the gospel in India. It says, (among other things,) In this Mission there are but nine missionaries for the multiplied cares of five stations among millions of people. But of these nine, three, after more than a quarter century of labour, are likely soon to leave us; one, indeed, has for two years pa?t been obliged to spend his whole time in the cooler climate of the hills. . . . . . To the south of Us are immense tracts of country, rivalling the United States In population. Consider, we beseech you: last year out of all your graduating class only two went on a foreign mission ; and not one came here. Among the 33,000,000 in our own land sire between 2000 and 3000 ministers of the O. S. Presbyterian Church alone. In India, with near 200,000,000, are less than 400 foreign missionaries, of all lands and all denominations. . . . Father Chiniquy’s Field. —A letter from St. Anne, 111., says : “Last Sabbath was a glorious day for the gospel here. We have had a priest of Rome who has publicly renounced the errors of Rome. A great multitude of people, among whom were many Roman Catholics, came to hear the reasons why he was leaving the Church of Rome. He spoke with such powerful eloquence that several Romanists, have Seen shaken in their faith, and we hope, before long, many will follow him to the feet of Jesus Christ. Two other Roman Catholics were admitted by Mr. Chiniquy the same day to the Church of Christ.” “The Poor ye have always with yon.”— The German Reformed Congregation at Hagerstown, Md., on Christmas day, received from Hon. J. I). Roman, since deceased, a fund of $5OOO, the interest of which is to be distributed to the poor. It was further pro posed, that three ladies of the congregation shall be chosen and ordained to the order of Deaconess in this congregation, with the absolute control of the income of said fund, for the purposes and duties as practiced in the early days of the Church. South.— The Southern Presbyterian having helped to give currency to the idea, that the American Bi ble Society was not ready to furnish Bibles to the South, during the war, says, “From what we have since learned, ve believe the Bible Society was al ways ready to furnish the Bibles, and that the Fed eral officers sometimes would suffer them to pass through their lines.”—lt also announces “.that the Rev. Dr. Plumer has arrived in this place, (Colum bia, South Carolina,) and has entered upon his du ties in the Seminary as Professor of Didactic and Polemic Theology. Several new students have been received during the past few weeks,” Southern Seceders.— There are signs of a con tinued and vigorous existence of the Associate-Re formed Church in the South. , From recent reports, it seemed about to be merged in the Southern Pres byterian Church. Negotiations to this end have been dropped. It has revived its paper, formerly the Dae West Telescope, under the name of the As sociate Reformed Presbyterian. A Painful Death- —On Jan. 17th, Mrs. Beatty, wife of Professor Beatty, of Center College, was burned to death at Danville, Kentucky, by her clothes taking fire.

OTHER DESOUIMIOm Episcopal. —The first College of the University of the South, projected by Bis-iop Polk, was opened at Winchester, Tenn., a few weeks since, by Bishop Qnintard. It has five professorships, four tutorships and one hundred students.—We have heard of a circular, says the Episcopalian, addressed to certain .clergymen of this diocese, asking their influence in favor of permitting the city passenger cars to run on Sunday. It is rumored that several of the clergy have responded favorably and have subscribed their names to the petition. Others, it is alleged, have declined signing, but are favorable to the movement.—The Episcopal 'Church in St. Paul, Minn., was opened for Divine service on the 13th of January. The- zealous Episcopalians of the town were filled with gratitude to God for their beautiful and commodious house of* worship; and received the congratulations of Christians of other denominations. On the morning of the 27th of the same month, the church took fire in the basement, and in a short time was entirely consumed.- The house cost $25,000, and was insured for only $l5, 000.—Bishop Clarkson has been successful in rais ing funds, in New York, in aid of missions in Colo rada and Dacotah. Lutheran. —Wittemberg College is enjoying a great revival of religion. It looks as if God were about to convert all the souls in this institution. Some of the young converts are young men of bril liant talents. The Christian young men labor with a fervor, a joy, and perseverance like the spirit of apostolic days. Unitarian.— By the-Year-Book of the Unitarian Congregational churches, there are 289 societies of this order in the country, of which 171 are in Mas sachusetts.

The following is a description of a Methodist church reopened in Cambridge, Md.: “The wood work has been repainted, and the walls newly frescoed. The frescoing is fine, and one of its features is a Maltese cross, with the initials ‘I. H. S.’ in ’the panel over each window. The communion table is made of white Italian marble; its fronts forms three com partments, the middle one of which recedes, and is ornamented with a gilt Latin cross, and monogram *I. H.

Roman Catholic.— There has been a conference of Ecclesiastics, it is said, at the arch-Episcopal residence in New York, whereat It was resolved to appoint a committee to go to' Washington at Once, to remonstrate against the withdrawal of the-mis sion from. Rome, .which is called an indignity to the' Roman Catholic Church, and to warn certain Con gressmen who have Roman. Catholic constituencies of the political misfortunes in store for them, should they not employ their influence in restoring the ap propriation, so as to keep the Legation where it is. Archbisliop McCloskey, himself, it is understood, is going on to see about it. The Englsh Ecclesiasti cal Register and Almanac, for 1867, reports that there are in England Iff 14 Romish churches, chapels and stations, 1415 clergymen, 63 communities of men, 204 convents, and 11 colleges. .Scotland has 103 churches and chapels, 193 clergymen, 16 con vents, and 2 colleges. England is divided into 13 dioceses, in which there are 16 bishops, and Scot land into 3 districts; to which there are 4 bishops.— The Matamoras Ranehero, of Jan. 20th, states that “ Rev.. Rafael Diaz Martinez has been elected bishop of this new Catholic Apostolic National Church Of Mexico. The object "6l this movement is to break off from 'the Old Roman Church, for the reason as charged, that through Romish influences were sent the French armies which have invaded Mexico and deluged the land with republican blood; Rev. Father Ilermandiz, who was captured by theYrnperialists, was shot by them, after suffering unlfeard of atro cities, on the ground that he was a liberal, and in clined to break off from the Church of Rome.” Miscellaneous.— The Young Men’s Christian As sociation of Providence, R. 1., have commenced hold ing Saturday evening prayer meetings', and visiting the gambling and drinking saloons of the.city. -At the first of tliese, nine, and at the next, seventy-two young men were brought in; sixteen Of the latter, from one saloon by one man.—Rev. W. W. Bidwell, editor of the Eclectic Magazine was .to sail on Saturday for Europe and the East, as Wgpeeial agent to inqui.rff into the condition of. the American colony in Palestine: —A legislative prayer -meeting was started at the state capitol in Michigan, early the psesent session. It is held every Wednesday even ing in the Senate chamber. The attendance at first was sixty or seventy, and the meeting has been growing in interest. , FOREIGN. The Pulpits of Holland Opened.— The Council of the Dutch Reformed Church have passed a reso lution admitting the ministers of any recognized Protestant denomination to the pulpits of their churches. Since 1619 no dissenting minister has officiated in a church of the Establishment in Am sterdam. The Offertory. —Theplan of a free-will offering is gro.wing in favour with the Presbyterian congrega tions of Ulster. The deacons send to each family and communicant a letter stating the object, with an envelope in which to return the contribution, urn! the offerings are laid on a plate in the vestibule. One congregation has received thus £93, and an other £B3 within the last month. The success of the movement is greatly owing to an admirable tract on the subject by the Rev. L. E. Berkeley; “God bring ing to men, men bringing to God.” ' * Dr. Merle d’Anbigne, in a letter .-to the Times, urges “the acquisition by the laitv Of their legiti mate influence in the Church. Up..R> the present, the laity have been lookedupon ae in a state of mi nority; the, day of their majority has arrived. The place of con vocation a relic of the middle ages, should be.snpplied by an Upper House, in which would sit the Bishops and lay representatives, elected by the different Dioceses; a Lower House for the clergy and representatives of parishes or unions of parishes; an executive council to carry out the decisions of these two Houses. The laity should now petition the Queen and Parliament for a better constitution of the Church, and ask for a synod or assembly, where their representatives could be f heard. Never was it more necessary” says Ur. d’Aubigne, “that the Protestantism of England should become well or ganized.” Church and State in Geneva.— The treaty of 1815 which annexed French and Savoyard parishes to the Canton, placed these under the protection of the King of Sardinia, and provided that the State must pay the Catholic that pub lic Protestant worship is interdicted in the Catholic parishes. The Roman Catholics demand that sites be given them, at the expense of the. State, for two chapels which they wished to build in the suburbs of Geneva. A law to introduce equal religious lib erty for all tva.9 thereupon submitted to tire rich citizens of the Canton, but failed to receive votes enough to make it a law. The Jesuits, availing themselves of Catholic au thorities in the Canton of Valais, and the sympathy they experienced there, have crept in stealthily, and occupy several situations in the schools and colleges. The Federal Government, being made aware of the fact, courteously invited the authorities of Valais to inquire into and report upon the mat ter. These, acting under characteristic inspiration, have declined to enter into an inquiry that could “ teach them nothing that they did not know before.” Dissatisfied, of course, with that reply, the central authority has repeated its message, requiring the execution of the law which excludes them from Swiss territory. In the darkest part of Protestant Switzerland, Zurich, where the celebrated Strauss was called to be a professor of divinity, a young man, once a schoolmaster, Mr. Zeller, preaches the Gospel ten or twelve.times a week, in language the most simple, powerful and childlike. Men of all ranks crowd to hear him—pastors, students, professors, philosophers —and return home ashamed and abashed. Ictacifolrtipfirti MINISTERIAL RELIEF FUND.

Mrs. Emily P., wife 1 of Br. J. C- Norris, Hnd daughter of Rev. Martyn Tupyer, of Hardwick, Moss'., aged 32. By this providence, a most tcndorly cherished and-beloved com panion—a very kind and affectionate daughter, has been suddenly removed from her pleasant home on earth, and, as we trust, to a mansion in heaven. No bereaved family is over called to mourn tho loss of a dearer one—or ono who will be remembered with greater tenderness of affection—br one, who more cordially reciprocated the love bestowed upon her. Mrs. Norris possessed great excellence of character, superior mental endowments, a tnstc for reading.and the acquisition of knowledge, was an accurate scholar, conscientious in the discharge of her duties, amiable arid affectionate hi all the rela tions,of life She was a person of a discriminating mind, of rare judgment, and well calculated to oxert’an influence over others, llcr home was rendered a pleasant place for all her friends. Rarely does death bring such grief and desolation to a family. They ex pected to be cheered and blessed many years by her light. ’ But the bright star has disappeared behind the dark cloud of death. In the midst of loving friends, pleasant scenes, and bright* earthly pros pects, the angel of death came; she bowed before him. and passed autay to her final homo. The hour of her death was peacefulamb . serene.; The announcement of the approach of the king of terrors was received with great calmness and composure of mind. She was submissive to the Divine will, spoke of-the preciousness of Christ, ~ sang, two lines of the hymn, “Jesus, lover of my soul,” gradually and peacefully sunk to her rest. May the bereaved relatives submis sively say, “Tho Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; and blessed be the name of the Lord.” h. -(©*■ Philadelphia Tract and Mission Society, Office 1334 Chestnut street.
