INSTALLATION OF DR. WISWELL.
On Thursday evening, of last week, occurred
the last of a rapid series of pastoral settlements in
chnrches of our order in this city. The last year
has been one of unusual exception 'to the gener
ally stable character of Philadelphia' pastorates,
resulting, not from fickleness, but in general from
Providential dispensations, colonization move
ments, ko. Two of the recent :installations,
(those of. Messrs. McLeod and Hamner,),, were
only a giving of the ecclesiastical form to relations
which have, for some years past, been a practical
reality. Three vacancies yet remain—the Calva
ry, North Broad Street and Western churches—
all of them as yet open fields. The installation
of Rev. - George F. Wiswell, D. D., over the
Green Hill church, on Thursday evening, was
surpassed in interest by none of the late scenes
Of the kind. - Rev. John Crowell •piOsided, Rev'.
Daniel March, D. D., preached the seirnon ; Rev:
John McLeod gave the charge to the pastor, and
Rev. Frank L. Robbins, late pastor, that to the
. eongfegation. The Green Hill congregation, not
withstanding its large contribution to the mem
bership in Oxford street, is steadily gaining in
,numbers and vigor. Indeed this new phase in
'the history of the church is felt as the beginning
of a new career of existence, and with the con
stantly progressing increase of the finest class of
population around it, the probabilities of a good
and healthy growth may be considered fairer than
ever. The erection of • a new and first class
church edifice is now a fixed purpose, which there
is every reason to suppose will soon ripen
into an accomplished fact. The Sabbath school,
under the superintendence of Mr. Peter B. Sim
'ens; is among the largest and most thoroughly
worked in the city. The congregation is enthu
siastically united in receiving Dr. Wiswell, and
this fact, in connection with the well-known
spirit and ,strength of his pastoral talent, indi
cates their full preparation, with the Divine bles
sing, to hold their proper place in the comnauni
ty around them.
WE would call the attention to the advertise
ment of the Rev. W. W. McNair, General Agent
of the Security Life Insurance Company of New
York, 528 Walnut street. He offers special fa
vors to ministers, and will insure in other. Comp
anies, if desired, upon the most reasonable terms.
Mr. McNair was for sixteen years a successful
and self denying Missionary in the North West,
and having on account of failure of health been
compelled to abandon the work, is well deserving
of patronage in the business in which he is now
engaged.
PRESBYTERY OF TRUMBULL, O.—Rev. Howard
W. Stratton, a former licentiate of this body,
who was ordained, in January last, in Huntsburg,
by a council, came with a request to be recog
nized as a member of Presbytery. On answering
the constitutional questions his'request was grant
ed; and he took his seat as a member. His post
effice address is Huntsburg, Ohio.
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, MAY 16, 1867.
PRESBYTERY or THE . =DISTRICT OP
COLUMBIA.
The spring meeting of Presbytery was held in
the Sixth Church, Washington, D. C., and was
opened with a sermon by the Moderator, Rev.
T. B. McFalls. At the close of the sermon,
Presbytery was called to order ;and2 Rev. G. H.
Smyth elected Moderator. From the statistics
handed in, it is evident the past year has been
one of great preeperity; over two hundred •and
fifty members haVe been added. The enterprises
in the Sunday-schools, in missions and among the
young people of the'various congregations were
never more encouraging and promising.
A strenuous effort is' being made to provide
the three vacant Churclos in Maryland with reg
ular and stated preaching: some of the .mem
hers of the Presbytery have a strong purpose'
establish another Church AL( a promifießtml . pe in
this State.
Rev. G. H. Smyth pastor of the Sixth Church,
Washington, was chosen ,Commissioner to,Gcneral
Assembly, with Rev. John C. Smith,' D:lY.'aft i er
nate, and Elder Ammidop—,qf th9,,Fir,st Con
stitutional Church, Baltimore, with Elder W. J.
Redstrake, Assembly's Church, Washington, al
ternate.
The last evening of the session was spent in
Missionary and devotional exercises.. Two able
'addresses were delivered on Foreign and Home
Missions, by Revs. T. B. McFalls and Stephen
D. Noyes. '
It is proposed to have, in future, just such a
social and spirited meeting at the close of every
session of Presbytery. Why not?
PROM OUR ROCHESTER CORRESPONDENT.
ANNIVERSARY AT.AUBURN
This has been a week of more than usual in
terest in connection with the Anniversary at Au
burn. First came the sermon before the Mis-,
sionary Association of the Seminary, by Rev. R.
R. Booth, D.D., of New York. This is spoken of
in terms of high praise by all who heard 'it. It
is characterized as having breadth, strength, and
true eloquence. And in connection with this ser
mon, Mr. Henry S. Barnum, of the graduating
class, was ordained as a Missionary of the Ame
rican Board. Rev. Dr. Hawley, pastor of the
First Church, presided and made the ordaining
prayer, and an excellent charge to the Mission
ary was given by Prof. Huntington. The audi
ence was very large on this occasion, and deeply
interested from the beginning to the end of the
services. Mr. Barnum is soon to sail for Eastern
Turkey.
On Tuesday evening a brilliant and beautiful
address, on, the . Incidental and Subordinate Rela•
Lions of the Pulpit to Education, to Literature,
and to -Civil Liberty, was delivered by Rev.- Her
rick Johnson, of Pittsburgh. What,with his fer
vid writing, his clear, ringing voice, and his ad
mirable elocution, 'lte held his audience spell
bound for one short, delightful hour.
And as though this were not enough of "stars,"
Prof Julius H. Seelye, of Amherst College, fol
lowed on Wednesday evening with a sermon,of
marked ability and power, on the subject of God's
Progressive plan of Truth, or, as we understood
him really to mean, Man's Progressive Appre
hension of Divine Truth. The sermon was well
guarded. It did not smack at all of recent " de
velopment' theories. ~, l
The truth is eternal.; but
with all our 'modern helps and faithful study we
are getting better and better ideas of truth. The
sermon gave great satisfaction to Lainy 'thought
ful minds, and fully jugtifted the reputation of
the speaker as a sbund thinker, as well as a ripe
scholar.
CLASS OF '52
One of the marked features of this, year's An
niversary was the meeting of the class of 1852.
It numbered twenty-one at graduation, of whom
eighteen are supposed to be now living, some of
whom have certainly honored the class in no 'small
degree. We have already named two of them—
Dr. Booth and Prof. Seelye. - And beside these,
Rev. Dr. Clark, the new Secretary of the Ame
rican Board, Rev. Dr. Morris, of Columbus, Ohio,
Rev. J. R. Herrick, the:new Professor of Theolo
gy in Bangor Seminary, Rev. Milton Waldo, of
flornellsville, Rev. G. P. Folsom, of Genesee,
Rev. A. M. Stowe, of Canandaigua,- and others
were members. Those whom we have named
were present at, this class meeting, and letters
were received from nine others. Dr. Mofris was
Chairman and Dr. Clark Secretary. The class
spenfour hours together, (were together, indeed,
two or three times,) talking over Seminary days,
drawing out one another's history, since the sepa
ration fifteen years ago, and renewing the sympa
thies and attachments then felt. All spoke of
the meeting as one of tender and delightful in
terest. It closed with a regular prayer-meeting
in the chapel.
In the remarks made a beautiful tribute of re
spect was paid to the -memory of Lobdell, the
Missionary, who died in Turkey, and Rev. Henry
N. Peck, who finished his course in Detroit, both
members of this class. Resolutions of respect for
Drs. Mills and Hopkins, the only Professors in
the Seminary who were such when this class
graduated, were also passed, and subsequently
the class called in person to show their regard to
their former instructors. A beautiful and loving
letter was also read in the meeting, from Presi
dent Hickok, of Union College, who was the Pro
fessor of Theology when this class were pursuing
that noblest of studies. Very grateful and hand
some mention was made of his admirable tact, his
courtesy, his wisdom and ability as an instructor
while they sat at his feet He had evidently
left his own impress on their minds, and they
were as evidently thankful for it. And no one
of them will ever forget this class meeting.
EXAMINATION, IMO:
The examination of the classes commenced on
Mondity and closed 'on Wednesday. The', report
of the examining Committee, appointed by the
Boards of Trustees and Commissioners ) , was high
ly satisfactory. 'Thegraduating class numbered
eight, whose names and residenCes are as follows
--Henry S. Barnum, Stratford, Ct.—G-eorge
Bayless, Bingliamton,N, B. Hen
dryx, Tecumseh, Mich.--Isaac N. Lowry, Lima,
N. Y.—D. Cartel; Sackett, Canandaigua, N. Y.—
Joseph E. Scoit, itilillvillc, N. J.—Darius R.
Shoop,BrUceyille, 111.---Sextus E. Smith, S'pring-
N. Y. ..
Six of these deliveredaddresses; before a large
congregation, On: Thursday evening. We give:
their names and themes--BARNum, on the influ
ence of linnziiiration .to this country upon the
Conversion of the ; World; BAYLESS, On Christ's
Position in the. World; HENDR.YX, on the Power
of the Pulpit; Lowitv, on' Romish. and Protes
tant Theories of Missions;'SACKETT, The Clor,y
in the C'loud ; SCOTT, The, Relation of Christi,-
anit,y to. Wealth., These , orations were all good;
and the speaking perhaps above the average.
. We learned that most, if not all the Ads, al
ready' have their fields of labor in view. Two,
Barnum and Lowry are to be missionaries, the
latter probably in Syria. Bayless is to be pastor
of the Presbyterian church in Phelps. Hendryx,
Shoop and Smith go West as Home Missionaries.
Scott is to settle over a Church of the other
branch at llillville, N. J. Sackett will go for a
year, at least, to the Presbyterian church of Rock
Stream. We believe the Auburn boys generally
are not long looking for places.
In the meeting of the Board of Commission
ers ppper notice was taken ,of
i the decease since
last Anniversary of Rev . . Miles P. Squier, D. D.,,
whose name stands first recorded as a Commis
ioner of this Seminary. A suitable minute
was also made on the death of Rev. Frederick
Starr, Jr., so Fong the able and efficient Tinan
cial Agent of the institution His services are
highly appreciated by all the friends of the Sem
inary, and will not soon be forgaten.
Arrangements are made for board in'' common
for such as prefer it, in the basement of the Sem
inary: building, by which considerable expense
may be saved to the students who resort there.
Two new scholarships are now available, one from
the natural itTrpse of certain permanent funds,
and another, 4,119 generous and voluntary dona
tion pf $2,0003, just made and paid over, by John
Hobbie, Esq.; an" esteemed Elder in the Presby-
terian church of. Cazenevia,. The Seminary
would like a half dozen more such donations
right away. It knows just how to use them, to
gladden the,hearts of just so many young men,
who are struggling hard to get ready to' preach
the Gospel.
And this reminds us of another great and Pres
sing want, which makes us shudder to think
what might happen every time it occurs to us.
The Seminary has a valuable Library, to which
important works are being added all the time.
But these books are in the third story of one of
the'Serninary buildings. Incase of fire, it would
hardly be possible to save any of them. There
is a standing offer from one Of the noblest of our
Christian men, Hon. William E. Dddge, of
$7,500 for a proper fire-proof library building,
whenever a like sum is raised from other sources,
to put with it. Where is this money to be found?
Who will give for this noble object?
The Board .of Commissioners, feeling the im
portance of meeting this offer at once, passed a
vote authorizing the - Executive Committee to
employ Financial 'AgeritB to raise this amount.
Rev. A. McDougall, an esteemed pastor at Dry
den, has been requested to undertake : the work;
and it is hoped in this way to secure the amount
before the Ist of September, and then get a fire
proof library building under way this year. We
hope he will be cordially received by churches
and individuals for this purpose. It is time
something were done in this matter, before the
noble offer of Mr. Dodge shall be withdrawn, as
it might justly be if not met ere long.
ITEMS.—The revival of last year in Auburn,
added eighty by profession and twenty-one by
letter, to the. First church. The whole number
now in its connection i5,,590, a large and intelli
gent, able and influential, church.
