At, their last meeting, the Declaration and Testimony Synod endorsed the Bill thus de feated. Cobweb Chains.—Tbe Princeton. Review recently ,remarked: "i t his always appeared to ue one of the marvels of the Scottish mind, with all its strength and clearness, that it could be held in trammels so often by cobwebs, and• those of its own spinning. There is, so. far as most men can see,,no more rea son for affirming that the Church is limited to the use of the Psalms, or even other inspired productions contained in the Bible, in the work of praise; than that it is restricted to the use of the Lord's' Prayer, or other inspired petitions, iii the work of prayer." The Presbyterian Witness, of Halifax, N. S.,:adds: "The fact is, that the ' Scottish mind' is,pretty well freed from the !cobwebs' to which Dr. Hodge refers. The Established Church, the Free Church', the United Presbyterian Church, use hymns. We be lieve that there are fully as many opposers of hytims in America as in Scotland." Revivals.—The 0. S.

A fearless ad vocate of what he deemed right and true, he was the outspoken opponent of slavery a generation ago, when it was both unpopular and unsafe to be so; and , an earliest millennarian when he stood as such almost alone. Old. Churches in• New Jersey.—The Dutch - Re-' formed Church on Bergen Hill, about two milee tiack. of Jersey City, claims to be the first church of any denomination established in New Jersey. The First Presbyterian church at Elizabeth was organized in 1666. It was the first church in New Jersey where services were held in the. English language. The old, First Presbyterian church on Broad street, in Newark, was built , in 1673, the congregation having been organized ,in 1667. The Baptist church in Pis cataway, Middlesex county, was established in 1680. The Raritan Dutch Reformed church in Somerset county, near the junction •of the north and south branches of the Raritan river, was organized in 1690. A Presbyterian church was established, not far from Freehold in 1672. The Episcopal church at Perth Amboy was established in 1698. The Presbyterians first held worship in. Perth. Amboy in 1731. A Timely Bequest—Abraham Voorhees, of Middlebush,, N: 32, lias bequeathed-to the Rutger's College the sum. of $25,000, and to the Board of Ed ucation of the Reformed Dutch Church '515,000, to aid young men in their - preparations for the minis try. MISSIONARY. lIIPOIIape, one of the Micronesia group, a great work las been done; " one half or the people,,(, 5 to 6 thousand,) are on our side," writes Mr, Doane, "I wish I 'could say truly they were on the Lord's side." 3000 people have given up their semi-intox icating ava-root—are willing to be taughtare ask ing for books—attend schools—patiently bear re proof—many of them praying and taking part in meeting—and.some are the children of tie Lord. During the past winter, two important Chiefs have cast in their lot with the missionaries. One of them a notorious drunkard, but recently broke up a meet ing of ava drinkers; refusing to have the root used any longer in his tribe, but a few months since he encouraged and took part himself in breaking up prayer meetings Among his people. The other, the Nanakin of the Jekoits tribe, is now one of the most interested chiefs ; though but little more thane, year ago he, with his people, waylaid a Christian party and fired upon them. He had a thinning house dedicated the missionraries' house, and he intends to build a meeting house soon. The meeting house at Aru, (burnt down by the Chiefs,) is rebuilt, and dedicated. Many in that region will soon..be taken into the church. Most of the Christians have worn well, some are making decided advance in the new life, and very many, including high chiefs, with their entire people, have abandoned heathenism. Rajpootana.—The Scottish U. P. Church estab lished in 1860 a mission in this wide but sterile pro vince. They have four stations with two missions- Ties each, and by combining medicine with Christian teaching have secured a hearing among the Raj poots and circulated the products of a' busy mission press, Among. their converts is Rani Rain, the high priest of the sect of the Ram Suehs, who has received for a quarter of a century religious worship from his followers. - After he had been a hearer for some time he was taken so ill that his life was de spaired of, and his followers according to their cus ,tom; east him out to die. • The missionaries found and,nursed him:to health, when he was reinstated as the worshipped incarnation of Ram, but decided to leave all for Christ, and locking up the temple took up his abode with the missionaries, and was baptized, together with a poor convict ; who had found - Qhrist in. . - • atatitto. , .

MA LNLY ABRIDGED FROM Dr. Wm. Smith's Dictionary of the Bible Important' , Additions and Improvements; and Five Hundred Mustations, Dr. Smith's Dictionary of the 'Bible, published in 1860—'63, and containing, in its three large octavo vol umes, nearly 3,200 pages, is a work of acknowledged excellence; hilt its size, cost, and scholarly character, must prevent any extensive, circulation of it among the great mass of those who desire and need a Dic tionary of the Bible. The "Comprehensive Diction ary," on which nearly two years of editorial labor have already been expended, owes its origin to a settled conviction, on the part of the Editor and. Publishers, of the need blanch a modified abridgement of the ori ginal work as should make the results of modern scholarship generally accessible. The Editor, Rev. Samuel W: Barnum. M.A., is well known among the graduates of Yale College as an ac curate and thorough scholar. His experience in 1845—'47, , as the principal assistant of the late Prof. Goodrich, in the revision of Webster's Dictiimary (un abridged and royal octavo editions), made him familiar with the details of lexicography; and his subsequent labors as an expounder of the Scriptures, gave him a practical acquaintance with the wants . of he people in the. field of Biblical knowledge. The General Principles which have guided in the preparation of the present work have been:— I. To make every thing intelligible to those who un derstand only English, and to place them as nearly as possible on a level with the scholars who are familiar with the original languages of the Scriptures. IL To condense the greatest possible amount of valuable information into one volume of convenient size and moderate cost. 111. To guard against all influences hostile to Chris tian faith and love. The page is somewhat larger than that of Smith's Dictionary, and the type of a heavier face, and more easily read. No pains will he spared to make the me chanical execution accurate and beautiful. The Dictionary will be issued in semi-monthly num bers of 48 royal octavo pages each. The .whole work will probably be contained in about 22 numbers.
