But stronger still arc your claims for our earnest,
heartfelt welcome, he added,
,you arc our relaliees_
our kinsmen according to the flesh—not only blood
relations through Christ, but '• bone of our bone."
You are Scotch and Irish, and what are we hut
Scotch-Irish—almost three-fourths of us ? Should
we not welrome you? Were your ancestors sworn
in the "Solemn League and Covenant?" So were
ours! Were you forefathers defeated in the fatal
battle of '• Bothwell-brigg?" So were our. I Were
your grandfathers besieged in Derry and Enniskillen
—answering king James with "No surrender to
Derry ?" So were ours !
Ah, those true men of God who witnessed so long
and well (or "Christ's crown and covenant" were
your ancestors and ours. We arc children of the
ga me mother; not only holding the same confes
sions and catechisms with yourselves, but bearing
some of the very same names; tracing the same
genealogies ; venerating the same history ; loving
the same memories, the same kirkyard graves
with yourselves; and, whether living in Derry, or
Glasgow, or Philadelphia, we are brothers from the
very same old home—a God-fearing, Sabbath
keeping, Tyranny-hating, coVenant-adhering race.
Therefore, as brethren in the Lord and brethren
by blood—you are welcome, thrice welcome to
night.
Come then, and abide with us awhile, and you
will know us better and love us more. I trust you
will not have reason to be ashamed of your new
-country cousins. You can see what we are ; history
tell& you what we were, In all the long record, Pres
byterians had no mean part, believe me. The his
torian Bancroft will inform you that "the first pub
lic voice in America for dissolving all connection
with Ureat Britain, came not from the Puritans of
New England, the Dutch of Neiv York, nor the
'3lanters of Virginia, but from Scotch-Irish Presby
terians "—and history will tell you that the Meck
lenburg " Declaration of Independence" was Ul
ster Presbyterian—the first State declaration was
from North Carolina, whose convention was in every
member connected in some way with the Presbyte
rian Church. And so, in the late war, the descen
dants of those who hated tyranny and wrong were
valiant to the end. And in glowing terms the Dr.
depicted our war and its issues.
He then referred to the fact that it was an auspi
cious time in our religious history—that, like their
churches in the old land—the tendency for union
was strong. and growing steadily.
But our space forbids, what we aimed to secure, a
full or adequate report of this address, 'which was
in every way truly eloquent, was several times
warmly applauded by time enthusiastic audience, and
deeply stirred the hearts of the Delegates, to whom,
in closing, the Dr. extended the right band of tel
lowship, (the audience rising) expressing the hope
that their visit might be as delightful as the welcome
was sincere—and their mission as successful, as
their fondest wishes could desire.
Gov. Pollock, in the • unavoidable absence of
Judge Allison, who had been invited and expected
to perform this part, extended a welcome in the name
of the laity of the city with his characteristic warmth
and enthusiasm.
Mr. Geo. H. Stuart then mentioned the fact that.
the delegates had done the wise thing of bringing
their wives with them, and as part or the reception
ceremonies, presented the ladies with the beautiful
bmquets which ornamented the table bcfbre him.
In response to these addresses, Principal Fair
bairn was first called on, and was received by the
entire audience and the ministers on the platform
rising in a body. Dr. Fairbairn seemed really over
whelmed with these demonstrations,of respect and
affection, and expressed himself at the opening, in
terms of surprise and gratitude at the truly
"American reception " he had experienced. He
now knew what that reception was: He regretted
the absence of Dr. Guthrie, spoke of himself' with
modesty as rather. a literary man than one of the
more active classes, and rejoiced that he had come
to our country at a time when he could say it did
not contain a slave. He assured the audience that
the sympathies of his church in our struggles were
always with those who were fighting for the slave.
As an instructor of such as were preparing for the
ministry, he felt the unspeakable importance of
thorough culture for the sacred office, and would
like to plead for it, before every audience, in his
journey through our country. It was a necessity of
the times that the clergy should be so educated as
to be abreast with the literary and scientific move
ments of the age. The broadest and amplest cul
ture was demanded. The infidelity which per
.vades our modern literature and which is conveyed
in the language of Thomas Carlyle, that " Litera
ture is the Modern Church" can be met successful
ly Only by a thoroughly educated ministry. Dr.
Fairbairn dwelt upon the struggle with this form of
infidelity which was upon us. And in this connec
tion spoke of the importance and probability of
union among all branches of Presbyterians. After
referring to tire work of evangelizing the masses of
our home heathen as another of the speci.d charges
°lathe Church and this age, he concluded by repeat
ing his thanks for the warm reception he had met.
The 67th Psalm was then given out by Rev. Dr.
Cooper of the United Presbyterian Church, when
the Chairman called on' the representative of the
Irish Church, Dr. Denham. The doctor was receiv
ed by the audience with the same token of regard
as was given to Principal Fairbairn. The Irish dele
gate though alone, had the advantage decidedly of
the others, in the closer sympathies of the vast ma
jority of his audience, who were of the same re
nowned Scotch-Irish lineage with himself. It is no
ticeable, too, bow au educated Scotch-lrishman
speaks with less "brogue" to American ears than
pure Seotehman. Be that as it may, Dr Denham
had excellent reason to feel himself at home among
• an assembly which responded enthusiastically to
every allusion to " the apprentice boys of Derry"
or anything bringing forward the history or charac
ter of Protestant Ireland.
Dr. Denham spoke humorously of the interrup
tion of all his tine plans of repose alter a long and
stormy passage across the Atlantic, by a telegram
from one who could never be refused, reaching .him
on the day of his arrival, (yesterd a y) and requiring
his presence here to-night. Re, too, regretted the
absence of his colleague, Dr. Ilall, or Dublin, of
whose arrival he hoped soon to hear, lie spoke of
the very great prosperity and efiLdency of the Irish
Presbyterifin Church, since it had cut loose from the
Arian elements, Which had privily crept in, anti the
influence of which he illustrated by the story of the
Prisoner of Chillon, chained to the body of his bro
ther who had died in that position, and whose
corpse he was compelled to carry about wherever he
went; the breath of this corpse of Arianism—an ex
pression which he said might be called an Irish
bull—had paralyz3d the Irish Church; but after the
separation God-had opened a great career of useful
ness for his true people. At. one time he could re
member when all the subscriptions in this church
amounted to about one hundred pounds a year
while n ow they amounted to many thousand pounds
annually. The Church subsequently commenced
sending missionaries ofthe Cross among the heathen
and the Popish population at home, and it had
since increased until now it numbered about five
hundred ministers. They had stretched forth their
hands to various parts of the world, and now their
church had sent delegates to this land. Ti!ere was
lope, he Veliewed, not only for his Church in Ire
land, but for Ireland itself; and there are now in the
national schools of Ireland thousandsof pupils, who
are being instructed in the Word of God. The
speaker. here alluded to the circulation of the Word
of God among the poorer class ofsociety, and related
the truly remarkable providences which had p'aced
in the hands of the Protestants the stercoVpe plates
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, MAY 16, 1867.
of the Douay Bible, without note or comment, pre
pared by the priests themselves, and issued under
the imprimatur of the Bishop of Dublin. and there
fore. commanding the respect of the ignorant lto
m•tnist population among whom it is being circula
ted in vast numbers for three or four pence a copy.
One bookseller, in Dublin, sold twelve thousand
copies. 'America is doing a great work for the
education of Ireland through the letters which Irish
residents here are sending back to the old country,
urging their friends to give their children a common
school education ; while we, in our turn, are prepa
ring the Irish emigrant to be a good citizen when
he comes to your shores. Dr. Denham gave some
admirable illustrations of the mother-wit of Irish
readers of the Word of God, in parrying the threats
and objections of the priesthood. lie spoke, with
great earnestness, of Presbyterian union, as now in
progress, remarking that we. might not perhaps at
tain organic union of all the bodies, but should, at
least, aim at co-operation without incorporation.
One of Dr. Denham's best sayings, and one re
ceived with instant and lively appreciation by the
audience, was, that we should thank the North of
Ireland for such a gift as Mr. George H. Stuart, or
at least for " the raw material of such a man,"
After another Psalm, given out by Rev, J. W.
Mears. of the Presbyterian Church (N. 5..) Rev.
Mr. Wells, of Glasgow, was introduced. Mr. Wells,
after referring to his embarrassment cinder the-e
circumstances, so new to him, responded grattfully
to the eloquent welcome he, with the rest, had re
ceived, and begged permission to speak of his own
peculiar work in the Irome Missionary field of the
Free Church, in Glasgow. Referring to the sympa
thy felt for us in our struggle, and the extreme
scarcity of men in the Free Church who sympathized
with the rebellion, he said, he was the best and
truest patriot, who labored for the evangelization of
his countrymen, and who strove to convert the dan
gerous classes into useful citizens by the gospel. He
referred to the great peril wising from the right of
suffrage in the hands of these classes, and to the re
sponsibility especially laid upon the American
Church, to ]abor for the Christianization of the masses
in this country, where their influence was not re
strained to the same degree as in Britain, by old in
stitutions and feelings of reverence, and where uni
versal suffrage conferred Upon every individual of
those mamas a power which he did not th are possess.
Mr. Wells then spoke of the low condition of the
Presbyterian Church of Scotland for the 130
years before the great change which Thomas
Chalmers experienced in the early part of his
ministry.. In that long period, although the
population of Scotland had inbreased onetnillion,
only 60 churches were built. Quite as many were
built in the very first year (1S3;) in which Evan
gelical Christians got the upperhand in the National
Assembly, an event in large part due to the labors
of Dr. Chalmers. After the wonderful impulse of
the Disruption had begun to expend itself in the
Church, the new development of Home Missions
came up to take its place as a motive power. Mr.
Wells then described the workings of the system of
"territorialise" particularly in Glasgow. and held
•the audience in the most profound and rapt atten
tion, as he set befbre them the truly marvellous re
sults of this, system of planting and sustaining
churches in the heart of the corrupt masses of the
city, which in a few years became self-supporting
how parent churches will take charge each, of one
or two, or a hall-dozen of such enterprises, and how
the Mission Churches themselves sometimes become
parent churches, and begin a like career of useful
ness; how not a few Mission churches received
nearly two hundred members per annum, year after
year; and how, while some ofthe older churches had
begun to snow marks of decl ne, this was not the case
with .any of the fruits of this Mission work.' Mr.
Wells said, that to prepare himself for the Ameri
can way of thinking, he had been reading
Bancrott's
History. In that. work he had been struck with
the motto of Benjamin Fran , lin, addressed to the
Colonies during the Revolution: "Join or die."
This lie would apply in view of the Union move
ment, to the Presbyterian bodies and would to them
say : "Join or decline."
An involuntary tribute was paid to the earnest
ness of Mr. Wells, by a Methodist brother, who re
sponded with an audible amen to the sentiment in
regard to true Christian patriotism.
The following paper, offered by. Matthew New
kirk. Eq., was then adopted by the audience rising
to their feet:
Whereas, We have had the opportunity of re
ceiving our esteemed brethren of the same faith and
order with ourselves, from abroad, and or welcoming
them to our hearts and homes; therefore,
Reio/ved, That we affectioLately - Commend the
'entire delegatiOn, consisting of the Rev; Principal
-Fairbairn, the Rev. Mr. Wells. the Rev. -Dr. Den•
ham, and the Rev. Dr. Hall, to the watchful care
and guidance of our common Lord and Saviour, and
to the Christian confidence and kindly hospitality of
our Presbyterian churches and brethren during
their stay in our country.
This resolution was seconded by the Rev. Dr.
Robert Patterson, (Pres. 0: S.) of Chicago, Illinois,
in a brief. but most eloquent address, in which he
welcomed- the delegation in behalf of the Young
Men's Christian Association of Chicago, who had
deputed him for this purpose. Ile spoke of lia own
ancestry being among those very apprentices of Derry
who shut the gates against the soldierS ofJames, and
warmly repelled the thought of dissension' between
our own nation and Great Britain,. a sentiment
which was received with great applause, by the
audience. He announced the rapid ; progress made
by the reunion committees of the two General As
semblies and drew a picture of the times of terrible
conflict approaching, in which God's people must
sitstain each other upon both sides of the Atlantic.
Ile concluded by welcoming the delegation to the
prairies of the far West.
The Rev. Dr. West, of Brooklyn, then read the
133 d Psalm, which was sun.. when Dr. Boardman
pronounced the benediction.
Private Re c eption at the Pious° of X. -Newkirk,
On Thursday evening, a number of invited guests,
comprising clergy and laity of the different Presby
terian branches and of other denominations, assem
bled in the splendid mansion of Matthew. Newkirk,
Esq, at Thirteenth and Arch Streets, to give the
delegates, with their wives, a more social and in
formal reception than that of the preceding Tues
day.
Among the guests we noticed Hon. Morton Mc-
Michael, Mayor of the City of Philadelphia, Judges
Allison, Pierce, and Brewster, of the City Bench;
George H. Stuart, Esq., Rev. Mr. Barnes, Drs.
Boardman, Schenk, Reed, March, Jones, Beadle,
Crittenden, and Messrs.. Grier of the P/Tsbyterian,
Mear., of the AMERICAN PRESRYVERIAN, Dr. Wylie
of the Reformed Presbyterian Church, Dr. Dales of
the United Presbyterian Church, and many others,
clergy and laity, of the' different branches; Bishop
Simpson and Rev. Alfred Cookman of the Metho
dist Episcopal Church, Rev. Dr. Newton and Jay
Cooke, Esq. of the Protestant Episcopal Church,
and Rev. De. B)mberger of the German Reforined
Church.
After an hour spent in social intercourse with the
affable and polished ladies and gentlemen of the
delegation, the company was called to order by Mr.
Newkirk, who introduced the Mayor of the City
and called upoa hint for the opening address. The
Mayor declined to make any formal address, but
was glad, le said, for the opportunity of welcoming
to our c ity, gentlemen who had come on so good au
errand as this deleotion. For himself he was a
Scotch-Irishman, and, he added, with that well
known, merry twinkle in his eyes, I am proud to be
one of four so good-looking men. [Laughter and
- •
applause.)
Mr. Newkirk next introduced Rev. Albert Barnes,
who remarked that he supposed he had been called
on to make this address as the oldest pastor in the
city, which he believed lie was,—certainly he was
the oldest Presbyterian pastor. Ile welcomed the
deputation to our shores. Their presence was an in
dication of the tendency to union now so prevalent.
Such a tendency is prevalent also here, but whether
it would actually result in a uniun, he could not
say. Mr. Barnes bad only one regret in regard to
this welcome visit—that it was to be so very brief.
lie wished these brethren to have time to see this
great country for themselves, to study with their
own eyes the working of our institutions. We have
a great country. We are proud of it, it is true, but
it is a great country ; greater now than ever. We
have gone through a tremendous struggle which has
developed our resources in such a way as to astonish
the nations of the world. I would like to call your
attention, said Mr. Barnes, particulary to the re
markable fact of the complete disbanding of our
army. If you go through the streets of the city,
,ou meet no soldiers, no armed men 5 you will see
no fortifications, no signs whatever of the great
stru g gle so recently over. Yet only three years ago
we had the greatest armies the world ever saw.
Our s Attie' s came from the peaceful pursuits of
Life—the plow, the workshop, the college, the theo
logical Seminary ; now that the war is Over, they
have gone back to their peaceable pursuits—so many
as have survived. I 'had more - than ninety who
went from my own congregation. Those of them
who returned have gone back to their ordinary oc
cupations; the pious among them more devoted,
while some of the others came back converted
men. The war did not corrupt or ruin our young
men; through the exertions of those who carried the
gospel into the camp, its corrupting tendencies were
in large measure neutralized. Such were some of
the facts which it was to be regretted, they could not
examine more at leisure. It was, howeVer, a great
gratification to have the deputation among. us, even
for so short a season.
Mr.' Newkirk then introduced Judge Brewster,
who, in a graceful, polished, and scholarly address
renewed the welcome already given. Ile especially
thanked the delegation for the cordial sympathy
we had received from their country during our
struggle. There were times when that sympathy
was needed, when even the stoutest hearts trembled.
The Judge concluded by referring to the hospitality
of an ancient prince, who, when sending away
JEneas and his companions, as a parting present,
filled their casks with wine; as your countryman;
Prof. Conington renders it:
"A brave man's tribute to the brave."
We shall not do precisely that for you, but we ex
pect to send you back filled with precious memories
of the friendship you have formed and of the hos
pitalities you have received.
A few words were aided by Presiding Judge
Allison, who eloquently referred to the fact that the.
delegation were from countries which 'had passed
through substantially the same struggles for free
dom which we had just undergone, rendering their
visit the more welcome in this country and at this
time.
At. a' subsequent stage of the exercises,
Bishop
Simpson arrived and was summoned forward by Mr.
Newkirk. The Bishop made a brief address in his
usual happy style; saying that, though of'another
WO, he could appreciate the heroism of the
Christian bodieS represented by these brethren in
upholding religious liberty. H elvas glad that they
had brought the ladies with them. We men alone
might show something of the Scotch thistle or the
Irish shillelagh, and tire presence of Christian
women was indispensable to true refinement.
To these addresses Principal. Fairbairn first-re
plied. lie expressed his deep sense of the kindness
shown the deputation. He sail' he had already
been deeply impressed by what rhe had seen of the
magnitude of this nation, Ile.d.urtd this morning,
in conversation with Jay Cooke, tsq.,learned some
astonishing facts as to the great resources and the
readiness of this people to support their govern
ment; as well as the wonderful instrumentality by
which the gospel was carried to the army and war
itself turned from a curse into a blessing. Dr.
Pairbairn said, that as a Scotchman, he began to
feel as if he was not so closely,related to America
as if he had been from the
. North of Ireland; but
after all the degree of kindred was only removed
one generation back. It' he Nas not recognized as
father, he could claim to be
,granAtather to the
Scotch, Irish Americans. [Laughter and applause.]
• Dr. Denham followed, dwelling upon the beauty
of Nem York harbor which exceeded that of all the
harbors of Europe. He spoke also of the great
beauty or Philadelphia. He said, that, although
there were no fetters in our country, and he rejoiced
at it, they were putting fetters upon him and his
associates by their extraordinary kindness. It' too
much was said about it abroad, he warned us that
we might expect an Irish "raidy upon our hospi
talities..
Prayer was then offered by Rev. Alfred Cookman;
the hymn "Blest be the tie that binds" was given
out by Dr. Newton, and sung with spirit by the
company, and the benediction was pronounced by
Rev. Dr. Bomberger.
A movement was then made to the supper-room,
where a sumptuous repast was spread, the table be
ing crowned by a magnificent bouquet, principally of
white japonicas. A blessing was asked by Rev.
Robert Patterson, D.D., pf Chicago, when the com
pany applied themselves diligently to the work of
clearing the tables, a work in which the represen
tatives of the various Presbyterian bodies present
.united harmoniously, giving a Jively illustration of
"co-operation without incorporation." The keenest
obServer could riot have detected the slightest differ
erence in this process' between Mr. Barnes and iDr.
Boardman, or Dr. Grier and Mr. Mears. And there
is no doubt, that by just such social gatherings, the
way for reunion is at least as effectually prepared as
by the formal Conferences of Union Committtees.
At a late hour the assembly began to disperse,
every one delighted with every part of the entertain
ment. That part contributed by the hospitable
host, M. Newkirk, Esq., was duly recognized by a
vote of thanks passed before leaving the tatile, and
responded to on behalf of Mr. Newkirk. by Rev.
Alex. Reed, D.D.
The. absence of Dr. Guthrie. was in part, made
up by his son, a young man of interesting appear
ance with wtAliftil discerning eves for the sights
and peculiarities of the new world. He expects to
make a thorough tour of the country before he re
turns.

AT Masax A HattuN's WAREROOMS, 154 Tremont street, is a reed
organ which probably surpasses any reed instrument ever made.
In the perf ct ma Tress which has attende 1 its c mstruction, the
problem has b en solved of snaking a large organ entirely of flee
reeds. It has two manuals with a camp is of sixty-one notes each,
sixteen sets of reeds (six being the greatest number used before,)
twenty-two stops, and a pedal key board of twenty-seems notes.
Soma of the stops are of peculiar richness of tone, while in power
and general effect, the instrument can only surprise every musi
cian and listener. All the stops are operated on the pneumatic
principle, a. new feature in reed instruments, and many ingenious
and valuable mechanical devices are introduced which we have not

working of the instrument. The case is exceedingly beautiful, 12

to that of others, that it gives us new ideas as to the capacity of
reeds. And hero we may say a word in general as to the Mason At

and popular in :Wad use in religion; services generally, and which
are yet eminently lit for Sunday school use.
2. A largo number of new and attractive songs for occasional and
home use.
Great care has been exercised in regard to the admission of both
words and music that they shall be unobjectionable on every ground,
nod fit in all respects for their important use. It is h ped that the
words will be found to be indeed "APPLES OF Gino," without base
alloy, and that they arc set to music which is worthy to be termed
OF SILVER." To fAcilititte examination, a single copy
will ho sent, postpaid, to any Sunday-school superintendent desir
ing it and iuelosing 20 cents to the publishers.
