Meeting £5,700 paid into the treasury, of which the
annual subscriptions amounted to £1,391, Three
donations were specially mentioned, one of £5OO
and a second of £250, by persons not belonging to
the Presbyterian Church; and the third of as.pldier

2nd July, 1866, to his minister, sending the sixm of

of the Society. Some of the children have been
rescued from what it may be feared was hitherto not
an uncommon fate —their adoption of the Church
of Rome; and the need of the Society is sufficiently
shown by the 111 applications for admission. ,
Irish Catholic Matters.— Dr. Kieran was con
secrated archbishop of Armagh; and primate of
Ireland, at Dundalk recently. Cardinal Cullen, 1 who
sends a controversial pastoral about once ,a week to
the Dublin chapels, was pressent and went out of
his way to repudiate any endowment of the "priest
hood. “We will accept of no fetters'frdm the 'Brit
ish Government, be they of brass, or Bilver, or gold.
But we demand that the; enormous sums which are
now devoted to maintain a Pjostestant ascendancy
among us, alien alike to our country and our faith,
be set aside to fornl a special fund for the use of Ire
land, to be applied to appropriate objects, and es
pecially to the promotion of works of charity and
religion, and to the development in every way of the
talent and resources of this Island.' 1 The’ education
whioh he considers best for the country he recently;
expounded in speaking of the Christian Brother’s
schools, where “the children are well trained,
theoretically and practically. They are perfectly
instructed in the knowledge and practice Of our holy
religion. They are trained to practise' everything'
prescribed by our Holy Catholic Church. : -.- If any
one'would call here during-tbe week) he would see
the number of children from, the schools who, come
down here and attend round the confessional, in
order to be able to receive the sacrament of pen
ance." ,
FRANCE.
The Catholic Church of France— Rev. 11. M.
Field of the Evangelist, by birth a French Catholic,
says of the Church of. his youth:—“To those who be
lieve that there is no piety in the old Church of
France, I commend the letters and journals of Mau
rice and Eugenie de Guerin. But single instances
of piety and virtue, however beautiful, prove only
that there is some life left. They do not prove I
that such life pervades the Church, or is felt as a
power upon the nation at large. The mass Of the
Church may still be carried away with frivolity and
luxury, and so lost to the beauty of a religious life,
as to exert only the feeblest influence. Such is the
testimony of impartial observers as to the actual
condition of the national Church of France. It has
its churches scattered over the country; but the faith
which once filled these with devout worshippers has
suffered a mournful decay. With the aristocracy
Religion is an affair of party. The Church holds
its place in Legitimist families, the adherents of the
Bourbons, where it is a fashion and a badge of their
old nobility. In the provinces the cure is still a
great man in his parish, and has an influence among
the country families, and among the peasantry. But
in the cities, which are , the centres of power, the
Church has a feeble hold. Especially in t,hat. claps
which governs,France, comprising at once the rulers
of the State and of public opinion—meii in political
life, and popular writers, journalists and nbvelipts
and dramatists,, and men of science and the Acade
my—there is almost universal indifference, if not
unbelief. Guizot might, well feel:that among:men
of his own rank he stood almost alone. Nor has
the Church anymore power over the working classes,
the Ouvriers who are such a terrible power in all pur
Revolutions. They accuse it of indifference, to the
social evils from which they suffer, hnd_ thus have
become alienated from it. And so it is that the
Church seems to be equally powerless at the two
extremes of the social scale. Infidelity flourishes
beneath its ancient towers, and the people,peepl to
be given up to frivolity and to indifference;; to know
no higher existence than that of the Bourse, the
cafe, and the theatre.”
HOLLAhI).
The Reformed Church of Holland is a sad
proof'tliat 'creeds and confessions, interpreted‘ with
unevdfigelical rigor, are no 1 substitutes.for the grace I
of G6d.' 'lt seems that at the synod of 1816, the
clergy;'who had before been required to subscribe to
the Church's creed, were relieved of that_necessity,
and have now only to sign a formula of subscription’,
whose, terms are so vague and general that it really
binds' *to no doctrine. ‘There is a supreme court
called the. “the Synodical Commission,” which
meets once a year with closed doors at the Hague;
“Numerous petitions and protests have been sent
up to it, on the part of the orthodox party, during
the last thirty years, bnt they have all proved fruit
less, and last year the court published a final an
swer, -in which it confessed its impotence to cure the
fearful confusion, and declared that no alternative
is left but to allow matters to take their own course.
The men themselves Who. constitute that court are,
with only one or two exceptions, members of-either
the liberal or the modern party.” The consistory
of a ehuroh—the elders' and deacons, have the sole
power of calling a minister, and in many churches
where evangelical sentiments prevail, the elders.anfi
deacons are skeptics, and the people are compelled
to acknowledge as their minister the man whom
these elioose; however' much they may abhor his
doctrines. ! Should-the place of one of these become
vacant, by death, -or i otherwise,the rest .choose .his
successor, ashing hP consent of the church.

waters are sweet, and that everything must be good
which is anathematized by the priests, the sales are
considerably on the increase. The excitement has,
even entered the theatre, where a piece, which a
month ago was acted before an indifferent public,
was a few nights ago, received with shouts of en
thusiastn when any passage referred’to ■ freedom
from Rome or overthrow of clerical, domination.
The correspondent of Evangelical Christendom says
of Gavazzi, “His Sabbath sermons are full of Christ
and Him crucified, and nothing else, either personal
or political; while his week-day .lectures on the di
vinity of Christ and the necessity of a divine, revela
tion, and the influence of Christianity pn indivi
dual and national happiness, excel any thing I ever
read or listened to on these grand themes for origi
nality and freshness of thought 1 and wonderful power
of eloquence in their delivery, I have felt.it a most
thrilling sight to behold 200 or 300 men and women
of all ranks and classes of society in this newly-li
berated province, and that during the attractions of
a Carnival season, hanging for an hour oh the lips
of the preacher, the strain .and refrain of whose
whole discourse was “Come to Jesus I "and to Bee
the rejoicing acceptance of the' Gospel on the part of
s.o many from whom light and: truth were so long
withheld." ■ .-. ■ ,
Fassaglia’s Apostasy.— The great leader of the
“.liberal" priests, Gignor Carlo, Eassagjiaj who drew
up the famous Liberal petition to thejPope, and suc
ceeded in getting 10,000 priestly 1 signatures to it, has
also lately abjured what amount of Liberalisin' he
had embraced. He submitted to the Bishop.of Mon
davi, who telegraphed the fact to Rome, and! there
by caused the greatest joy in priestly, circlep at'head
quarters. Passaglia, we remember, was, the Papal
Seretary in the matter of formulating the dogma of
the Immaculate Conception.' His schidni with Rome
has all along been regarded as a Very hollow one.
With all his opposition to Rome ori matters connec
ted with the temporal authority, no morn bigoted
adherent of the spiritual power ever handled a pen,
and none more ready to, fasten the, cords of Papal
despotism tighter than ever round .the clergy and
laity of Italy.. The form of retraction presented to
liberal priests binds them to a full acknowledgment
I of the inalienable rightof the Pope to the temporal
power.—The American, the Scotch, the Waldensian,
the Swiss and the Free Italian congregations united
in the observance of the Week of Prayer, and held
daily meetings in rotation in their several churches.
I One of the members of the Italian Parliament, then
in session, took an active part, speaking and pray
ing with great earnestness.
Maples. —The Liberal clergy, since the return of
the Bishops, have been forced to address a memo
rial to Parliament and to the Minister of Public
Worship, to explain their deplorable position. The
churches they served during six years have been
taken from them by the Cardinal-Archbishop, who,
proceeds to reconsecrate the buildings, as if they
had been profaned. The ceremony has been accom
plished with special pomp for the old church of the
Jesuits, when all the cream of the Legitimist party
assembled for the occasion. This worthy prelate
wrote from Rome. “ Audacity has arrived;at suCh a
height as to erect in Naples, in the midst of a peo
ple wholly Catholic, and in. one of the most beauti
ful and popular;quarters, a public temple to Protes
tantism!” A bigotted Catholic paper published in
that city says :—“ Christianity, in order to acclima
tize itself, was obliged to paganize'itself, by sur
rounding itself with a myriad of saints altogether
j like the ancient gods, by a legendary system very
similar to the ancient mythology, and by religious
ceremonies not much differing from those of the
pagans.”,
MISSIONARY.
The Armenians in Eastern Turkey.—The
church in Broosa, has had an accession of 5 and now
numbers 186. In spite of the distress caused by the
failure of the silk crop they'raised $250. (gold) to
support their pastor, teacher, &c. This people man
ifest much interest in the study: of the: Scriptures,
but not a like ; loye far prayer. „In Demirdash, a
Greek village,' a new church, costing $5OO,- has been
built by a community of. 1,25 Protestants. In Moor
adchia' and vicinity, the truth advances amid perse
cutiOns and 8 have been added to the chqrch.. Funds
to build a church are being raised. - There is no one
laboring in Angora or Istanos but the Avedaper has
82 subscribers and $4OO worth of books .have been
sold. ' Istanos has a school, and both have reegniz
pd churches. The people of Angora have sent $2OO
worth of cloth to this country, to get money to
build. In Sivas there is growth but many discour
agements and the girl’s school has 18 pupils. When
the first missionary went to Sivas, an Armenian
would as soon have sent a cow as a girl to school.
I In Gurun Sabbath services are kept up (although no
missionary , is in the place) and a church is building.
In Eastern Turkey a large and expensive house
of worship has been erected by native Christians. The
men had brought all the timber by hand, a distance
of from three to five miles, sometimes thirty men to
one stick. Women and children brought water and
earth and stones, and Armenians of the old church,
and even Turks, lent a willing hand. When the
missionary visited them, women were still busy in
plastering the walls ; but they hasted to finish their
work that a meeting minght beheld there for the first
I time. Nine years ago he and another were hooted
at, stoned, and at last driven from'their room, in the
pouring rain and splashing mud of a dark night;
At the union meeting of the churches held at Diar-
I bekir, the native Christians decided in establishing
a native mission to the poor Armenians of Koordis
tan. It was resolved to seek out and educated five
men, who should afterwards return to labor among
their people. Forty-three dollars were raised on the
spot, Diarbekir, Mardin,,,.and .vicinity pledged the
support of two men; Kharpoot, Arabkir, and vil
lages of the plain, that of the remaining three.
In Central Turkey the native church in Albis
tan has erected a church edifice at their own ex
pense. In Yarpuz a native preacher is now labor
ing, having been compelled to return hither from
another station, as an attack of blindness compelled
him to seek a field of labor with which lie was ac
quainted. In Marash, in Avedis’s church, is a man
who, a year ago, knew nothing about Protestantism
—was still an Armenian, when he set out with a
party to murder a man in the mountains, against
whom they had a quarrel. The Spirit found him
on the mountain top, and turned liinrback from his
purpose. He came to Marash, and soon became a
Protestant; because ‘he had heard they were kind
to the poor, and did not load unjust, taxes on them.'
But he said to himself; ‘lf I don’t like their doc
trines I will go back, after I have found out wliat
they are.' He found the doctrines wliat he needed,
and came to us a clear case of conversion, and says
he will kiss the hand of that man he was about to
kill and beg his pardon, if he ever sees, him again.
“ These are other accessions, some of deep convic
tion, some of the brightest joy, -about .thirty to the
first church, (probably from fifteen;to .twenty to the
second,) one of them a six months Protestant, two
of them thirteen years. Twoarewomen of severity,
and one is, a girl of thirteen.”'.''- '
