and for other useful callings, to what otheruse could we more willingly, more thankfully see it devoted, than to that which it has been, as a home for or- phans whose fathers fell in defence of our ,country and of those sacred,principles of truth, for which our church has ever given her steady and persistent tes- timony? At. a much earlier day than that to which I have adverted, a Presbyterian Church had been organized in the vicinity, and its house of worship located about a mile North of fhis, on the "Rock Road." This was the place of worship for nearly or quite all the church-going pOPulation, for a number of miles around. That Church adhered; through all experiences, to the branch of the Pieshyterian Church to which we are attached; althoughe'a: large number of its members . StronglY dissented opin ion, from the decided anti-slayert krittpolicy which prevailed in our ,Church. About the time of my coming into this'Synod; a :large - majority of its ministers and Churches had heeome 'so dissatisfied with the action and position of our Church, as re- presented in the Geneiar Assembly; that they sever ed the connection of the SynOd - with it. The mi nority, protesting against this'SeeeSsion, remained in the Synod as a separate, isolated body, for two years. At the end of which time, the other 'fartY,'having mostly withdrawn,and gone . tonther cOnneotious, we returned to our Mational and normal relation,fthank fat and happy as exiles restored to their native land. In this process, however, we had been sadly reduced and weakened. Our Synod and our Preabyteries were thin and emaciated, with very' little numerical or pecuniary strength, but With Unfiltered' princi ples and faith and purpose. To the social` and po litical powers that then ddMinfiled this State, we were odious. Larger ecclesiastieal bodies, ',more in harmony with those dominant forces, treated its with contempt. God did not let'us r becoMe extinct. He kept us in life, in connection and harmony with our denomination, and represented in its highest judi ciary, through all the dismal years tsrthe.rdbellion. Thus lie gave us part in all thosetestimonies which our successive Assemblies unanithosly pronounced, in favor of our cOuntijy's 'assailed .and endangered government, which constitute so honorable a record: The war ended,-peace' restored, Slavery' gone, sOuri entering upon her new, era, 'our ,timnOf ;reco, Very, of growth,, of -progress in i the work of Hvangel l , ization and edification seemed to have come. yet,pUt, so rapidly as eager and sanguine peoPle desire, 4o communities, any more than individualS,' recover from such typhoid exhanstion. . . At this locality, so considerable an increase of popu lation had been realized, as to raise the ,question whether a new Church Centre were not tleinanded; nearerto what must become the, centre of secular business and enterprise. This question was..not .a simple one. It.envolved;severgtl sabaidiary; or Col lateral ones. Would the :Knelt Hill portion of the congregatiOn give 4'016'61 = locality,, about, which all the sacred memories and associations ,cd the Church's history clustered,Und Unite - with the,imr tion at Webster, (lees numerous then, but likely ICI ncrease more rapidly,) in erecting a louse4af Wor ihip here? Could the'tworparts•agree upon -a ,coin, promise location, on the beautiful eminence midway ? Could a small chapel be built lieee, in. : which . .one service could be held each Sabbath, the other being retained, and so the church kept undivided until its groWth should fully warrant and Tien - mild its diviSion into two? All these questiobs were as carefully and conscientiously,'exargined, I believe,-as'•Such ryiies tions are wont•to be by Cliristiatimen, ': responsible ibr such decisions, and in duty bound "to treat' each other considerately. In the judgment of a few good brethren, who had fraternallp-co=operated with us before, we did. not de,eide..,these questions ..wiftly enough, and they announced-their determination to have a Church of another, ecclesiastical-connection and polity, a. Congregational, Church, Sonic who hail watched and toiled here through the long, dark night, which was 'giving place to the daWn—who had maintained the preaching 'oe'the Cdspei, and pastoral labor; and Sabbath adhooP 'Woidc throtigh" the agencies,. and with the co-dpt.ration and en couragement ,of a Presbytery ,which , they.loved.. and: with which they had,sulfered :so much amleo long, felt unwilliog to be, separate‘b from that,Prcsbytery, and to have its agenc); and its supervision arid 07 operation'ecladed :from'this field; just when there was opening some prospect Of a joyous reaping Where it had sown in tears.

NevertheleSis, it was. diStibctly a definitely, pro ; posedby these who represented the Pres.hytcry and thosc . here preferring:Alm Presbytery polity, that a church should be organized Of those - ChriStiaris• liv ing here, and its ecclesiastical form andstatus decid ed by a vote of-a majority of, its members. This proposal was declined. Our, brethren assured us that they felt it, to be their duty to establish .a Con gregational Church, for those who, preferred, that polity, irreSp'ective of' an 'such Consideration of numbers. We could not view this as releasing our Presbytery =from its obligation to' provide for the twenty-five church-members titaid, their families who desired to,adhere to us, neither could we feel that it abrogated our right to retain our hold on this posh don of prospective important influence,: for that work of evangelization :in Missouri, in whiCh we feel very solerimly . , that the God who has so wonderfully preserved us, , assigns us sonic vigoi.ous , ' - and manly part.

Doubtless I did regret tlfatfibre the brethren who prefer that polity could not. see it right to postpone theintroduct ion of it, until either ieshould be chosen by the majority, or the population should have so increased as to need two Churches. Nevertheless I regarded that as a question for their consciences, and respected their decision, and earnestly and sincerly expected the members "of this Church to respect 'it, - as my words are on record.- in the earliest document of their history. But have never seen how we could go farther than we went, in consenting, to with draw our Presbyterian organization from this ground, if the majority of those, concerned here should So vote,.without an unmanly and unairiStian desertion of friends, and relinquishment of a providentially appointed post of duty, Recognizing the difference of opinion which had thus been developed, as one ielf fraternal consultation failed to remove, I have ever since accepted, as a historic fact, the existence of two Churches here, agreeing in theology, agreeing in ethics, agreeing as to divine ordinances and cove nants, agreeing in' views of experiMental religion, but choosing - different ecclesiastibal polities and connections throw:lt which to' tabor for those boin THE: .

CABINET ORGANS. The claim is made with great confidence, by the, mannfacturers of and dealers in the Mason £ Hamlin Cabinet: Organs, that these organs are a, very great improvement upon all previous instruments in which tones were produced by reeds, Or vibrators, as they are termed in Europe; and that they far excel all other instruments of this class, not only especially in quality of tone and capacity for variety of .effect, but also in desirable qualities generally ; aad in du rability. Yet:it must be considered that manufac turers are liable to look with partiality on their own productions, and that a salesman is apt to . becarried away by enthusiasm for the articles lie attempts to sell; so that the judgment of such .parties is not al, ways to be relied even though they de s ire to . be entirely honest and fair. The public have a. right to ask what evidence can be presented thtit such claims are well founded. It is natural and proper. that a purchaser should desire something more than the-confident statement or the person desiring to make a sale, that the instrument recommended has: the merit claimed for it.. • This is especially. the case in, a Matter like this, in which few purchasers .101 that such brief personal examination and, compari son of instruments as is con-moldy-possible can . be safely relied on. Where the instruments can be placed side by side, a somewhat confident judgment,' in certain respects, can be arrived at; especially where the person making the examination' has: experience and sufficient musical cultivation to understand what qualities of tone will cont i nue to please, as well as what will soon lose their charm, But there are other excellences, which concern the working qualities of an instrument: its durability—the question whether it will stand well, or soon deteriorate in quality and get out of order—which can hardly be judged of by' any one except from actual test—from knowledge of the instruments in actual use for along ; time. There,: fore most persons look for other evidence than that of their own senses, or at least like to, have this cor roborated by other proof: • Let us see, then, what evidence isoffered that the - Mason & Hamlin Cabinet Organs have the great Organs have merits claimed for them: Undoubtedly the best judges in such 'a matter are the musicians—those whose. lives have been spent in music, whose education and experience have fitted them to judge; who are daily and almost hourly actually playing upon and testing different musical instruments, and so have all the advantages for form- • ing a correct judgment, which can come from skill, experience, and , ample opportunity for comparison. If we could have the judgment of the best of these throughout the country—if we could know their real opinions, and they were found to be unanimous— this alone would be considered sufficient. It is hard ly to be Supposed that judges so qualified, and with such opportunities, could be mistaken in the matter. Of all the evidence possible, this would undoubG edly be the most reliable and the best—better than the judgment of number or persons not so skilled and qualified to judge—better than the opinion of any one man, or even one's own opinion I These are the doctors, in this case, and if fora wonder they should be found to agree, it could hardly be supposed they were not right.. Now it is an indisputable fact, the truth of which any one may easily ascertain for himself; that just such evidence as this exists, that the claims made for the superiority of the Mason & Hamlin Cabinet Or gans are fully warranted. TestimOny is printed in the circulars of these manufacturers from more than two hundred and sixty distinguished .musicians, and all of theni say, not culy that the MaSon & Hamlin 'Cabinet Organs are very admirable and desirable for both public and private use, but also that they are superior to all Others; the best of their class. unqualifiedly. Many' P them express this judgment in the most emphatic language. By looking over the names of those who give this explicit testimony, any one conversant with such matters will see that a large majority of the best musicians in the coun try are among them. The most eminent organists, pi anists, composers, singers and musical 'directors in nearly all' the principal cities of the country testify in the matter Such an array of competent testi niony was never published before. Observe then that Mason & _Hamlin do not con tent themselves with asserting roundly that their instruments are 'reCotiftherigeil"ne the best by the most eminent musicians;, they publish the testimony itself, and it is seen that the opinion of those who are recognized as the best judges is almost unani mous..; Did they not publish such testimony, it would be.safe to doubt that they had it, for a manu facturer haying such an endorsement of his produc- . tiOna ettre to. Print it. let it be Observed that these are'the professional musicians, the most emi nent in the country, whose reputation IS' at stake in such a matter; and who would by no means give such emphatic evidence unless very sure of what they ; affirmed. Were this testimony from one two, or even- a score only, it might be,posssible to doubt if- they might pot be mistaken, or even if. they had not been prejudiced by some personal eonsiderations, But they are numbered by hundredsare sci'many that it is fairto say that they include the great •body of the mosteminent musicians of the. country; and their testimony is that•these instruments are clearly the best of .their whole class.. •- -• , • ; • Another, class of evidence is, the resUlt,of examina tions and comparisons at the industrial . Fairs f lylkich• are held froM time to time in the 'principal cities and different States';' to Which the Most' peominent Mane', , facturci are accustomed Seial'llid bS,St specirriens of, their Work to represent them. 'Undoubtedly there are cases where the judges are incompetent, the examination inadequate, or the awned a mere,. matter of „ favoritism,. which • decides . nothinghut these are'eXceptiona to the rule. Generally, the cOn-, elusion - is 'faiely arrived, at, after careful and lin par- , tial 'examination 'and Comparison by critical and competent' judges.'
