within the walls of an embassy, though from

not interfered witfi. The stoppage of the
Presbyterian worship led the Prussian am

THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1867.
FROM OUR ROCHESTER CORRESPONDENT.
S. S. TEACIIERS IK COUNCIL,
A Sunday-school Teachers' Institute of real
interest was held in Pittsford on Tuesday and
Wednesday, 19th and 20th instants. A goodly
number of teachers were in attendance. Admir
able arrangements were made in advance by Mr.
Charles Keeler, Sunday-school Missionary for the
County, and by the Local Committee. The hos
pitality of the good people of Pittsford was en
tirely equal to the occasion. Addresses, discus
sions, blackboard exercises and singing were ad
mirably interspersed, under the lead of E. T.
Huntington. Esq , and Mr. Keeler. No one ex
ercise was allowed to occupy more than twenty or
thirty minutes, and so with a frequent change the
interest was well sustained.
An admirable "address of welcome, warm and
kind, was made on Tuesday afternoon by Rev.
H. M. Morey, pastor of the Presbyterian Church
with which the meetings were held, responded £0
in a few fit words, by E. T. Huntington, on be
half of the Institute. T. Darnsfield, a superin
tendent of Rochester, conducted a Model Tea
chers’ Meeting, having a class of Teachers to
gether in one corner of the church for the pur
pose, where all could see and hear. He exam
ined a brief lesson on the following plan;—consid
ering, 1. The meaning of the words; 2. the places
named; 3. the persons; 4. their sayings and
doings; 5. the doctrines taught; 6. the applica
tions or practical inferences. It was well done,
and gave manifest satisfaction.
On Tuesday evening Rev. J. S. Lemon, pastor
of the Methodist church in Pittsford, whose genial
nature is not indicated by his name, gave a very
interesting lesson in Sacred Geography, tracing
the journeyings of the children of Israel in dis
tinct outlines upon the blackboard so as to im
press all deeply on the memory. Addresses were
also made hv Rev. M. S. Leet, of Webster, and
Rev. C. P. Bush, of Rochester.
The exercises of the second day were not un
like the first, in general scope and design; 1. de
votional exercises; 2. free talk on the question,
How best create and sustain an interest in the
Sunday-school class; 3. How conduct infant
classes, by S. A. Ellis, of Rochester; 4. Superin
tendents’ experience meeting; 5. Blackboard ex
ercises, by Mr. Keeler; 6. Free talk on the na
ture and object of the teacher’s work. This was
the morning programme; each speaker, in all
these general talks and discussions being limited
to four or five minutes. Similar exercises a«ain
O
filled the afternoon, and a general meeting, for
addresses, the evening.
The church was well filled almost all the time,
and crowded each evening. Baptists, Methodists
and Presbyterians labored hand in hand together.
The interest was well sustained from first to last.
And we have spoken of this occasion the more at
length because it was not one of Mr. Pardee’s
Institutes, nor Mr. Wells’; hut, like that of which
we have before spoken as having occurred at
Brockport, it was sustained by home talent—by
pastors and teachers of this region; and we do
not see why similar meetings may not be held al
most any where, and great good be accomplished
by them. A spirit of earnestness pervaded this;
important questions were stated and well, an
swered; much sound instruction was given, and
all seemed moved to engage more eagerly than
ever before in the Sabbath-school work:
REVIVALS.
In this connection we are most happy to report
also, that a revival of considerable power is now
in progress in Pittsford. The Presbyterians,
Baptists and Methodists are well united in revi
val efforts. Daily meetings have been held for
six weeks, and a goodly number, of all classes,
have found peace in believing.
The blessed effects are most manifest in the
Presbyterian church, where there were, not long
since, some alienations. All have now come to
gether. Mutual explanations and confessions
have been made at the mercy seat, where prayers
and tears have melted all hearts into one.
The faithful labors of the young and devoted
pastor of this flock, who has been only less than
a year with them, are thus gloriously rewarded.
They recently, in church meeting, passed a una
nimous vote, expressing their high appreciation
of his services. Many that have known that
there were troubles in this church, (which, after
all, we think, were .much exaggerated,) will
greatly rejoice that they are one again, and re
ceiving and enjoying such distinguished favors
from the great Head of the Church.
We hear also of revivals in progress in Attica,
in Mendon, in Penfield, Brockport, North Chili,
and other places. Of some of these we shall
hope to give more particular account hereafter.
DEDICATION AT VERONA.
We have before spoken of the rebuilding, as
we may almost call it, of the Presbyterian church
at Verona. It has been beautifully and nobly
done. Thepewsare of butternut oiled, with black
walnut trimmings; the windows very handsome
stained glass; .the pews all cushioned and carpeted;
the walls' handsomely frescoed; and besides all
this,' a new lecture-room has been erected at the
side of the church, opening into it, and beauti
tifully fitted up, with pastor’s study on one side,
and a small room, with pantry, to be used as a
kitchen oh social occasions, donations and the
like, on the other side. All this has cost about
§5OOO, and all the'amouut is provided for, except
about §3OO.
On Wednesday last; this “-improved property”
was solemnly given to the Lord; opening exer
c;ses by Rev. B. F. Willoughby, of Augusta, and
Rev. Ghas. E. Robinson, of Oneida; dedicatory
sermon, from Ps. 90: 17, excellent and appropri
ate, by Rev. Dr. Knox, of Rome; prayer of con
secration, by Rev. Abel Wood, the pastor. The
singing was good, and the audience seemed highly
to enjoy the services throughout. After so much,
so well done, we shall be surprised if we do not
soon hear that that people are also working as
hard as they can to bring sinners to Christ, and
that He is abundantly rewarding their self sacri
ficing labors in the spiritual as well as the tempo
ral.
ANOTHER DEDICATION,
An old, dilapidated meeting-house, belonging
to the Congregational church in Norfolk, St.
Lawrence county, has been beautifully reno
vated and refitted within the last year, and was
rededicated on the 14th instant —sermon by Rev.
L. S. Hobart, of Syracuse. Less than a year ago
this congregation was about as good as dead.
Few went to that old and uninteresting sanctuary.
An earnest young man went among them, Rev.
H. F. C. Nichols, and this is the result of his
labors. How many decaying congregations might
well imitate the example thus set them. It shows
what can be done, if the people have a mind to
work.
This old house is made truly beautiful; finished
off in ash; all carpeted and cushioned, with new
chandelier, new furnace, hew Bible for the desk,
and two copies of the Sabbath Hymn and Tune
Book for each Beat. We saw that house two
years ago. It reminded us of the old story,
“ That is’nt the Lord's House—it must be his
barn.” But one who saw it then, would not
know it as it is now. All ye that have old, de
caying, unattractive meeting-houses, to which
people do not like to come, go to work, repair up,
beautify, and see what a blessing you will find in
it.
The ladies of the Presbyterian church in Dans
ville. (Rev. Samuel Jessup, pastor,) realized $4OO
a few evenings since from a fair, as part of a fund
for the purchase of an organ for their church,
when they get it enlarged and renovated, which
they hope to accomplish next summer.
Rev P. G. Cook, city Missionary in Buffalo,
is remembered by the friends of his work, in a
donation visit to the value of $5O0 —well be
stowed.
Rev. Dr. Goertner is operating in Syracuse,
with good prospects, we should judge, toward se
curing an endowment in Hamilton College, to he
called the Onondaga professorship, after the name
of the county of which Syracuse is the centre.
We see, also, that a special meeting of the Board
of Trustees of that Institution is called at Bagg’s
Hotel in Utica for the 6th of March. We pre
sume that the subject, of a new house for the
new President is one of'the things to come before
them.
We see that the . labors of Rev. Mr. Calkins,
the new pastor of th.e North Church, Buffalo, are
mentioned with high encomiums by The Advo
cate, published in that city. It is a good field for
faithful and judicious labors.
The Utica Female Seminary, which was
burned down a few years ago by a ruthless incen
diary, is immediately to be re-built. A very pros
perous school was long maintained there, and we
doubt not can be again. It is well, at least, to
try it.
The clergy and others are moving in Roches
ter to raise money for the wants of the South.
Collections are to be taken throughout the County
to send corn to the starving through the South
ern Relief Committee of New York.
Rochester, Feb. 23,1867. Genesee.
The Common Council of this city, at its
last meeting, by a considerable majority,
threw the weight of its influence upon the
side of the Sabbath-breakers, and voted to
request the Legislature to pass the bill for
submitting tile running of the Sunday cars
to the vote of the people. With more sor
row than surprise, we behold our city fath
ers thus espousing the cause of irreligion
and public disorder. Instead of laboring to
preserve an institution so vitally connected
with the good name of our city as the
Philadelphia Sabbath, instead of guarding
this most precious inheritance, which, thus
far, has come down to us unharmed from
our great founder William Penn, these
men covet the unenviable reputation of be
ing instrumental in its overthrow. They
wish the downfall of the quiet Sabbath of
nearly two hundred years to be one of the
first incidents of their term of office. They
view with the indifference of atheists and infi
dels the intolerable disturbance of scores of
worshipping congregations on the lines of
these roads, more numerous in Philadeljphia
than in any city of the world. They have
yielded to the pressure of foreign infidelity
and Romanism, which demands the abolition
of our American restraints upon vice, and
the substitution of old-world corruption and
license in their place.
We were not altogether unprepared for
this. The secret plot of couneilmen for the
removal of a pious, faithful and competent
officer, an Elder in the Presbyterian church,
from his position in the city' government, gave
us a hint of the probable attitude of coun
cils toward religious men and things. We
shall watch their future course with solici
tude. Meanwhile we are thankful for the
good and brave men, who, like Thomas Pot
ter, bear their faithful testimony in the face
of majorities, whom they cannot fail to im
press, if they do not control them. We must
see to_ it, next year, that they be not left in
the minority. Religious and moral men of all
parties must be summoned to the work of
protecting our city from the inroads of vice
and infidelity.

CITY CHURCHES-
The Resignation of Rev. J. Ford Sutton was
accepted by the Western Church, lebruary dOth,
with many expressions of affection and regret.
The resignation was caused by the conviction,
after a trial of a year and a half, of the great dif
ficulty of resuscitating the church in its present
locality. Mr. Sutton enjoys the entire confidence
of the brethren with whom he has been associa
ted in this city during his labors in the Western
Church.
Philadelphia, Pa.—The pastor of the Cedar
Street Church, (Rev. R A. writes us: —
My people have kindly added §4OO to my salary.
During the past few months, the income of
the church has increased about seventy five per
cent. A few have been received at each com
munion season during the past three years.
Revitals. —Morning Union Prayer-meetings
are held daily in the lecture room of the church
in Geneva, N. Y. There is a good degree of re
ligious interest, and some hopeful conversions;
but the earnestness and power, of last Winter’s
meetings are lacking as yet. The church at
Rossville, hid., commenced protracted meeting,
with the Week of Prayer, and the house was
crowded night after night for the rest of the
month. At the communion .on the 3d instaDt
forty-five were added on profession, and twelve
on certificates. As a result of the powerful
revival in progress for some weeks' past in Free
port, 111, more than one hundred persons have
professed to have experienced a change of heart
in connection with the First church (N. S.), and
some twenty in connection with the Second
church (0. S.). The interest still continues.
There is an nnusual amount of interest in the
First church in Darby, Pa., under the ministry
of Rev. Charles Brown. Meetings are being
held every evening, and the number of inquirers
is increasing.. In Cassopolis, Mich., since the
Week of Prayer there has been held a series of
union meetings, in which the Methodist, Baptist,
aDd Presbyterian churches have participated, to
the revival of God’s people and to the conversion
of many others of all ages, but especially in the
Sabbath school.
The church in Brazil, Ind., have had an
accession of ten; nine on profession.—All the
churches in Terre Haute, Ind., have been re
vived, and a Union Prayer Meeting largely at
tended.—The churches in C'entrulia and Kin
mundy, Ind., have been visited from on high. A
Union Daily Prayer Meeting has been well atten
ded since the week of prayer.—Marked interest
and blessed results have been experienced in the
church at Du. Quoin. Quite a number there ex
press hopes in Christ. —The church in Hillsdale,
Mich., is now enjoying a refreshing from on high.
The work has been confined mostly to the mem
bers of the Sabbath-school.
New Albany, Ind. —A precious work of grace
has been in progress in all the churches of this
city, dating from the “Week of Prayer.” The
First and Third Presbyterian Churches held
united services daily for about a month, until it
seemed best, on account of increased congregations,
to hold meetings separately. A number have
been converted, though the fruits have not yet
been gathered into the church. Meetings in the
Second church have been fraught with interest
from the first. Twice, since January 1, there has
been a general visitation of the parish by the Ses
sion. The members, themselves, are much re
vived. Twenty persons have joined the church,
and many others are inquiring the way of life.
Daily meetings are still continued.— Cor. Herald.
CHURCH EXTENSION.
Cleveland, O. —A new church or chapel,
erected under the auspices of the First Presbyterian
church, in that part of Cleveland known as Was
sonville, was dedicated on the afternoon of Sun
day, 10th instant. Key. Dr. Goodrich directed
the exercises, and Rev. Drs. Hawks and Atter
bury, participated. A large and elegant Bible
was presented, early in the services, by Rev. Dr.
Aiken. The church cost 5 9,046, is of wood, and
has two rooms—one for prayer-meetings, and one
for public worship. There are accommodations for
about four hundred people. This church enter
prise, which is the out-growth of the “ Wasson
ville Mission Sunday-school" began in 1859 and
has now an average attendance of two hundred
and fifty. About thirty ol the number were per
sons converted through this instrumentality.
Rev. Mr. Peck is the pastor.
Missouri. —A First church was organized re
cently at Breckenridge, sixty-five miles east of
St. Joseph, on the Hannibal and St. Joseph Rail
road. The church starts with sixteen members
nine males. Five of the ten families represented
are the children of elders. They are in waut of
an active minister who can have an eye upon the
opening field upon the line of the St. Joseph and
Hannibal Railroad. They have already* taken
measures to erect a house of worship, and hope
by the assistance of the Church Erection Com
mittee, to have a : house built there during the
present season. °
Coldwater, Mien.—The church in this
place laid the foundation last fall for a brick
church, one hundred and nineteen feetlon°- mod
eled after the First Congregational church in
ioledo, Ohio, and of the same proportions. The
work will be resumed in the spring. This will be
the third new and fine church erected in that
flourishing city within three years.
• ' I ?. ES M . oine ®> lowa.—A church was organized
m this city with twenty members—nine males
and eieven females, and on the 10th day of July
!864, the present pastor elect began his labors
with them. For two years the meetings were
held in a small church belonging to the “ Cliris
tian denomination, and in a retired part of the
city, being the only room available at the time
Bunng these two years seventy-five per cent
were added to. the church members— the larger
proportion on profession. After the
their lease they (in the face of many and
discouragements,) resolved to build a house otW
ship. The work was pushed rapidly to comple
tion. On the second week in January 1867 a
plam but very neat edifice, 34 by 46 feet was
finished and ready for use, at a cost of non
and although not free from debt, yet there is no
claim or obligation whatever -held against

Maryville College.— A Professor writes to
the Secretary of Education: “M e now bar,
four pood and worthy young men studying f,,

advantage to onr cause in East Tennessee, to get

ministers in this field.”

Bradshaw, a graduate of the Union Theological
Seminary, a member of the Champlain Presby
tery, and for many years pastor of the First Con
gregati nal Church at Crown Point, has bee-nap.
pointed the agent of this association to labor in
New York city and vicinity. He is very- highly
recommended by Presbytery. He has lately re'-

TBHE BRITISH BLES.
The Condition of England Question—The re
sumption of the sessions of Parliament revives the
question of what must be done to secure such a co
operation of all classes as will maintain England in
her position among the great Christian i-owerr.
That the suffrage will be extended to all household
er? is morally certain, but that is only a meat!#, and
may avail little. Class legislation which inter;.rc;.-
the principle of non-interference always against
labor and in the interest of capital, which stamps
out a Rinderpest and allows a Metropolitan Railway
Company to‘unhouse 50,000 working people, with
out providing for them elsewhere, —this is eating out
the very heart of that feeling of brotherhood which
binds a Christian people in one. Immense provi
sion has been made of late years for edncation, and
a fair proportion of the children attend national
schools. But the landed property is more and more
concentrating in the hands of a few ; the agricultur
al classes are degraded and brutal; the manufac
turing poor are sinking largely into heathenism
though well fed. The co-operative movement is
rapidly amassing large bodies of capital in the hands
of their associations, and the combinations formed
in this Way and by the trades’ unions, may yet be
strong enough to control the fortunes of the nation.
The conference with the workingmen, which we
announced last month, has been held, as will be
seen by aleading article on our first page. The -Yua
conformisl sums up its results thus: Ou the whole,
religion, as administered amongst us, has been pre
ponderantly on the side of worldly power, rank, and
wealth; and has been too little known as the friend
of the friendless, the helper of the helpless, the pro
tector of the oppressed, the lifter up of the down
trodden, the champion of man's rights, the tender
mother of all. This in brief is, the indictment of
many counts which the speakers on behalf of the
workingmen atrthe Conference of Mouday last,
charged against modem religious institutions, and
to this indictment there was no sufficient answer.
Ritualism. —-A protest against high church prac
tices has been signed by nearly 500 Xondon clergy
men, and a fund for the legal prosecution of these
innovations was proposed, when the High Church
men announced that they had already secured funds
to retaliate, by prosecuting Low . Church rectors
for rubrical laxity. The rector of St. Albans—Mats
connoehie—announces that he will abandon “the
liftings” of the Eucharistic elements, and the cens
ing of persons and things, as these are declared ille
gal, but will teach the real and adorable presence in
the altar sacrifice, and. will retain the use of in
cense. The Bishop of Carlisle told his protesting
Low Church rectors that they were just as bad as
the Ritualists, and that any enforcement of the law
must “ work both ways." Some Parliamentary ac
tion is anticipated.
Divisions among the Evangelicals in the Church
of England, may utterly prevent any action against
the Ritualists. The Record says: “If we split
into sections, one for royal commission, another
tor appeal to the law courts, another for a bill de
clarative, another for a bill reforming the Act of
Uniformity, and each be hot and unbending for his
remedy, we mnst fail, and give triumph to tho
traitors. The Record goes on to say that “the dis
ti action of counsel which now prevails in conse
quence of the attempt.to procure a leader not subject
to the reproach of Evangelicalism is destroying
unity of action and endangering the cause which all
the Protestant members of the Church of England
desire to promote.” It puts forward for this°posi
tton Lord Shaftesbury, “ whose qualifications are
written tn the Parliamentary history of the country
Tor the past thirty years and more." The Bishop o'f
Exeter, once "the Nestor of the Puseyites " has
risen from what was believed to be, his death-bed
to oppose the Ritualistic party.
