PRESBYTERY OF GENEVA
The semi-annual meeting of this Presbytery
was held in the I.st . Presbyterian church of
Phelps, on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week.
Rev. 0. E. Stebbins, of Ovid, was chosen Mode
rator. The opening sermon was preached by
Rev. Dr. Wood, of Geneva,•and communion' ser
mon by the Moaerator.. But the chief interest
of this meeting centered in the ordination and
insiallation of. Mr. George Bayless, of the last
class of Aul4irn Seminary, over the' church and
congregation where the : Presbytery: held its ses
sions. ' - -
The exercises occurred in the presence, of a
large and deeply interested audience on Wednes
day evening. The invocation and reading of . the
Scriptures was by Rev. C. Francisco; prayer by
Rev. J. B. Richardson; sermon by . Rev. Dr.
Condit, of Auburn Seminary; ordaining prayer
by Rev. A. T. Young; charge to the pastor by
Rev. A. A. Wood, D. D., and charge to the peo
ple by Rev. C. E. Stebbins. The occasion was
one of great interest to this people, and the
young pastor commences his labors under very
favorable auspices.
DEATH OF REV. DR. HENRY MILLS
On the 10th instant, Rev. Dr. Henry Mills,
who has been Professor of Biblical Literature in
Auburn Seminary, we believe, ever since it was
founded, peacefully departed this life, at 81
years of age, in hope of a glorious resurrection.
He has been long laid aside from active duties,
and yet has enjoyed a serene old age. He le'ives
three children,—one the wife of Rev. Dr. Nelson,
of St. Louis; one the widow of Rev. F. Starr, Jr.;
and one the wife of Rev. Claudius 13. Lord.
Some other hand will doubtless do ampler jus
tice.to his memory.
A revival of great interest is in progress in
Westernville, under the pastoral labors of Rev. W.
B. Parmalee.
Rev. E. M. Toof, formerly pastor at Holley,
recently met with, a severe loss. He was re
turning to his former residence from Champlain
Presbytery. His household goods were on the
Propeller Wisconsin, which was recently burned
near Oswego, and all his effects were:.lost.< We
are sorry to add that he had no insurance, and
the loss falls heavily upon a most worthy brother
in the ministry.
The Erie County Bible Society held its Anni
versary in Buffalo, last Sunday evening. Hon.
John B. Skinner was re-elected President, and
an, agent was employed to canvass the County and
supply Bibles to those who have them not.
Rev. Dr. Heacock preached last Sunday to the
spirits in prison, or the convicts in the Peniten
tiary at Buffalo. He had an attentive audience.
GENESEE.

ROCHESTER, June 15, 1867
DR. HALL, of the Irish delegation, has been
with us during the past week and occupied Dr.
Blackwood's pulpit on. Friday evening; Dr. Reed's
on Sabbath morning; Dr. Boardman's in the af
ternoon; and Dr. Wylie's in the evening. We
regret that no arrangements were made for Dr.
Hall's being heard in a New School or a U. P.
pulpit where he would have been- gladly heard.
We believe, too, that our Kensington Mends
complain that the most Irish section of our city
had so little opportunity of listening to Cne'Whorn,
some regard as the greatest of Irish preachers.
Dr. Hall's style of preaching struck us as
evincing great sincerity and earnestness rather
than intellectual power; as more adapted to im
press practical truth upon conscience, than to
lead an audience to profoundei and - clearer views
of doctrinal truth. His-sermon on Sabbath eve
ning was )fistinetively. Princetoriiari.
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 1867.
FIRST CHURCH, MANAYMiX.
The new building for this congregation was
dedicated last Sabbath. The sermon in the morn
ing was preached by Rev. D. G. Mallery ; in the
afternoon by Dr.. March; and in the, evening by
Rev. Ford of Norristotyn. Services-mere all
very a-;propriate and the congregations large. The
new building-is of stone, plastered, and. is some
what larger than the old and accommodates about
600. The cost, over and above the old material,
was $B,OOO, the whOlo: stiacture bbing worth
$15,000. -Of this amount -about $2,000 remain
to be raised.
Friends are invited to embrace the opportuni
ty afforded On Monday afternoov, , frout Ninth anti
Green streets, at 3 o'clock, when many of our
clergy and members will visit the celebrated pulp
works of Manayunk, and when the new church
can be visited also.
LETTER FROM OUR NEW CHICAGO CORRES
tOIIDENT.
CHICAGO, June 14, 1867.
BROTHER gEARS: WO have 1 - Atd fthe''pleasure
of welcoming to 'our city the delegations from
the Free Church of Scotland, and from the Irish
Presbyterian Church, to the Presbyterian Churches
of America. The public reception of the former ,
Rev. Drs. Fairbairn and Wells, took place . in the
Seoond - Chureh : (Dr. Patterson's,) where these
distinguished brethren were welcomed by_an ad
dress from' Rev.• Dr. Humphrey; in his)felicitious
manner, and responded in a manner which de_
lighted all who had the pleasure of listening to
them. On the evening following a cocial enter
tainment was given them at the residence of
Wesley Munger, , Esq., where a large company of
ladies and gentlemen enjoyed .the opportunity of
a personal interview with the distinguished,stran
crers.
I aba sorry to say that the reception Rev. Drs.
Denham and'Hhll, and your own, noble (G-eo - :_H.
Stuart, was not as creditable to our Presbyterian
name. OWing to Igi:eat . pressure'e - 6k our leading
pastors and people, ands th_ebrief notice had of
their coming, the arrangements for their recep
tion were committed tto` the -members ;iif the Y
M. Christian Association,r and the ; public exer
cises were condUctei3 in a, lifethodi:st church
the presence - of a small' and mixed audience.
Having listened to the polished - and powerful elo_
quence of these noble men at the - Asseinbly nt
Rochester, I was both mortified at the enterta,in
ment accorded them, and pained that so very
few of our own people should have had the high
satisfaction of hearing their addresses. It is not
often such a privilege is enjoyed or missed.
Having had so large occasion for learning what
the Roman Catholic Irish are, it were well could
all our people behold in these representative
rnen what style of Christian gentlemen and min
isters of the Gospel an evangelical and Protes
tant faith can produce from the samenpterial.
NORTH-WESTERN THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY
An adjourned meeting was held last week in
this city to consider the, subject of. a theological
seminary for the North-west, for our denomina
tion. The attendance was small, but few being
Present from other States. The absolute neces
sity of such an institution was acknowledged by
all. The fact 'that our young men are largely
lost to us by their. going East for their theologi
cal training is clearly apparent. Our Taitern :
churches are making the (to us) unfortunate dis;
covery that the young men who have been born
and educated at the West are. precisely the style
,
of men they want. We cannot spare these men
to the East. We must educate and z keep them
here.
But while there was perfect unanimity on this
point, it was felt that it was due to the negotia
tion for union with the Old School, who have a
seminary at this point, that decisive action be
postponed until the matter shall be determined.
Nothing was therefore done beyond the appoint
ment of a committee who should have an eye to
the whole matter, and take such ultimate action
as future developments shall make desirable.
REV. DR. PATTERSON
The anniversary services of the Obvious week ,
of which I gave you some account, were followed
up in the Second Church on Sabbath last by a
farewell sermon from the honored pastor, in
which he took leave of his congregation for seve
ral months to come. Through the liberality of
his people, he has the time and the means placed
at his disposal fur an extensive tour through Eu
rope, Palestine, and Egypt. Seldom has a min
ister so well earned such. a compliment at the
hands of his congregation. During the entire
twenty-five years of his pastorate, he has never
been absent from them more than seven weeks at
any one time. And to few men will the trip . he
is about taking prove at once so rich a treat, and
so fruitful of valuable acquisitions.
The discourse on the occasion was founded on
Phil. i. 27: "Only let your conversation be as
becometh the Gospel of Christ; that whether I
come and see• you, or else be absent, I may hear
of your affiirs, that ye stand fast in one spirit,
with one mind, striving together for the faith of
the Gospel." In an earnest and affectionate
manner, he exhorted. them to conduct, themselves
as became citizens of the kingdom of God, whose
fundamental law was found in the Gospel of
Christ; and, in conclusQm, commended them to
God and the power of his word. There were
many.moistened eyes that morning in the Second
Church. The parting with his ministerial bre
_
thren,_neit morning,'at the weekly.'meeting, was
accompanied by resOlutions on their part, expres
sive of their high regard and esteem for this
greatly honored yrother, and best wishes for his
happiness and safe return, and a most kindly, fra
ternal, and modest reply on his. The next day
he left, and is to sail on the 15th inst. for Liver
pool.
As the Rev. Doctor will have left the county
before this letter appears in print, I shall take
the occasion to say a few words of the great ser
vices he has rendered to our Church in the North
west, and of the, high appreciation 'in which he
is held by his brethren. No,other man has been
so closely identified with all our denominational in
terests and enterprises,and no other has served them
with a zeal so constant and intelligent. Saga
cious beyond almcst,any other pf_ouniving cler
gy, shrewd andlar'-seeing, as feW of them are,—
loyal to the core of his being, to our New School
Presbyterian doctrine and polity, and ever on the
alert to guard and to advance her interests, he
has been a tower of strength to our cause in all
this vast region for a quarter of a century. Unos
tentatious, and with nothing showy or sensational
about him, - he •is 'an accurate scholar, an able theo
logian, a man of wide and varied inforination and
of a power of brain not eicelled in our ranks. No
man did more to secure for tis id.the recent
"Joint Committee" a basis of union such as we
could accept, and it is a matter for regret that he
is to he absent during the; corning months of its
discussion: He will be especially missed here
wheie he is so well known and so highly appre
ciated. May he have a most prosperous journey
and a safe return. Stilt in s the 011ie of life, and
with a'llead' but"lightly touched by the frosty
hand of time, we may reasonably' hOpe that he
will be spared to render yet greater services to
the Church and to the Cause ''of his love. The
Second Church has been fortunate in securing
the services of Rev;Dr. 'Torrey, late of Ann Arbor,
during Dr. Patterson's absence.
FIRST CHURCH
On the evening of last Sabbath week, the First
Church and, congregation, (Rev. Dr. Humphreys)
dedicated to its predestined usesthe beautiful
and commodious chapel - "They have for some
months been engaged in• erecting. The building
stands upon Congress street and abuts upon the
rear of the church, with which it also connects.
It is, 90 by 50 feet in size, with, galleries
,across
either end, 18 feet deep. Beeides the main room,
which is to be used as a lecture and Sabbath
school rooms, there are three Bible-class and an
infant-school rooms, and a well-lighted apartment
for the library of the Sabbath-school.
In the basement, are to be found a refreshmen
saloon, 50 by 32 feet, pantry, china-closet, kitch
*en, for social purposes, and a complete suite of
rooms for a sexton. Th chapel will accommo
date froth 800 to 1000= tubers. It is furnished
with an organ and with every appliance which
can add to its attractiveness, or to fitness for its,
ph-poses. The cost of this most complete, addi
tion to their work as a church has been about.
It is proposed to•devote the old lecture
-
room to the uses of a reading-room for the young
men of the congregation. - Thus, with- their
hardly less fine and. complete Rail Road Mission
Chapel, this oldest of our churches is equipped
for such a work as few churches in the land can'
hope to do. .41 - oiv thoroughly she is - doing and .
proposing to do _this -work, further statements'
will show. ' ,
DR. RU.NIPHREY , S
ANNIVERSARY
The pastor of this church preached his eighth
anniversary sermon on Sabbath . last. The year
had been one of signal advance. They had now
completed their chapel, and were prepared -to
prosecute more vigorously the work of their
church Sabbath•school. The recent noble con
_
tribution of $5OOO for the Sabbath-school'-work
for the coming year would enable them also to
pursue their Rail Road Mission enterprise with
increased exertions. They purposed at once to
employ an ordained missionary, n that field, with
the hope of ultimately forming the mission into
a Church. They had also organized an adult
Bible-class of 200 members. They had raised
during the year for erecting their chapel, finish
ing their church towers, and liquidating indebted
ness, $34,000, besides $12,000 from the regu
lar revenues of the church. During the eight
years of his pastorate they had contributed for
various objects of benevolence, home and for
eign, $193,000. Be said:
The, church edifice we now occupy was com
menced in 1856. Let the amount raised by the
church between 1856 and 1859 be added to the
above, and we shall have a total during the last
eleven years of over $250,000. The present
membership of the church is 513. The number
of members at my installation in 1859 was about
300.. Our increase has been during these eight
years over 200, or an average of over 25 per
year. The actual number received is much
greater than this. In the fluctuations of Wes
tern society we are continually dismissing our
members to other communions, and, by death, to
the Church Triumphant. The whole number
received into the church since its organization in
1833 is 1,967. Of this number, 794; were re
ceived on profession, and 1,173 by letter. Of
these, quite a number are still in connection with
various churches in this city, to many of whom
this church has contributed a portion of its
strength. But one of the original members of
this church now remains with us—Mr. Lemuel
Brown. Five of the members of this church
have died during the year; two or three were
taken suddenly by. cholera.
•
Such a record speaks for itself. It tells of an
able, faithful and popular pastorate, and of a peo-
ple earnest, liberal, united, enterprising, and thor
oughly alive to its mission. Few churches East
or West can show a better record, and few are
favored with a leader more competent to his posi
tion. As an organizer and a pastor Dr. Hum
phrey especially excels.
In the afternoon of the same day the Sabbath
school of the Church assembled in the same
place and held their Anniversary. Addresses
and singing by the children, and by that-" sweet
singer of Israel," Mr. Phillips of Cincinnati,
filled up a delightful hour. Although the Fos
ter Mission-school, of some 500 members had
been, during the year.surrendered to tlie care of
another Church, the house was packed with the
children and their friends. Everything indica
ted a highly prosperous`condition of the schools.
NEW CHURCH
A new 0. S. Presbyterian church was opefied
for regular services on Sunday morning last, upon
Twenty-eighth street, between Michigan and
Wabash avenues. Thus you see we dare striving
to keep pace with the swift growth of this fast
city.
MISCELLANEOUS
ThO State Sabbath-school Association holds its
Ninth Annual Convention this week,• at Decatur.
A very large number of delegates from all parts
of the• State is in attendance. A " wigwam,"
capable of heading 2000 persons, has been built
by the good people of Decatur, for its accommo
dation, with other arrangements on a similar
scale of hospitality. Everything promises a most
interesting and profitable session.
The annual meeting of the Chicago Baptist As
sociation was begun yesterday at Richmond, Mc-
Henry county. The attendance was , numerous.
the recent fine weather has operated a most
favorable change on the face of the country and
the faces of the farmers. The transition from
gloom and despondency to joyous hoPe and ex
pectation has seldom been more sudden or com
plete. The prospects of t fine harvest all over
the North-west were never brighter. May they
not be blighted ! A bad harvest this year would
cause not only a business crash and general panic
in financial circles, but wide-spread and severe
suffering. The country is almost bare of all
grains. But the future is now bright• with pro
mise. May the :hearts of the people be filled
with gratitude for the treasures of the field, to
the great and bountiful Giver of all g00d... ,

• OX.FORD PRESBYTERIAN Criurten.—The First
Anniversary of the Sabbath-school of the. Oxford
Presbyterian Church was held on a recent Sabbath,
and was an admirable affair.. The order of
exercises was printed, including hymns sung, in
a neat schedule, embellished with a picture of the
elegant stone chapel. The . school numbers - 4.72.
The infant class of 138 • were gathered on the
platform. The chapel was beautifully decorated
with flowers and evergreens. The ornamentation
at the pulpit was very tasteful. A triple arch
skilfully wrought with evergreens and inlaid.with
flowers, set forth both by lettering and by the
added types of cross, anchor; and harp, the three
words " Faith," "Hope," " Charity." Beneath
the cross, was suspended from the central arch a
crown, surmounted by the motto, " Glory to God
in the Highest."
The singing was - of the best, with a special
charm imparted 'by the opening " Lay of Wel
come," and the closing hymn " Angels, Hovering
Round." A quartette and chorus by the infant
class was also sweet. The reading of the Scrip
tures was in fine unison. The annual report set
forth the remarkable prosperity of the school.
The address to the pastor, Rev. Frank L. Robbins,
by master Jerome B. Jardella, was apt and
pleasing and the reply was eloquent. The re
marks of the Superintendent, Mr. Rudolph S.
Walton touched all hearts. The address of Mr.
B. D. Stewart (in reply to the reception of a
beautiful cross made of flowers,) though called
forth without the least warning was of the very
best.
Of all the exercises the one which was the
most original and impressive consisted in a dia.-
logue (setting forth Bible characters,) written by
the pastor, in which most of the school took part.
It was felicitously constructed and executed,
with variety of monologue, chorus and singing.
It was calculated to fix in the memory of the schol
ars leading facts from the Bible, and at the same
time impress upon the heart essential truth. The
presentation of gifts from the pastor was eagerly
observed. We cannot speak in too high praise
of the success achieved by the officers and teach
ers of this school.
Mr. Walton ranks as one of the best Superin
tendents of the State, combining enthusiasm with
the superior faculty of control, and Mr. Joseph
Lennii, the assistant Superintendent, is one of
those indefatigable workers, who in modest retiracy
yet with unfailing constancy, make things go.
Your correspondent from central New York,
who has had some experience in Sabbath-schools,
does not hesitate to pronounce this celebration
unequalled by anything he has seen.
NORTH BROAD STREET aumcrE.—The An
niversary of the. Sabbath-school took place on
the last Sabbath in May and was a great success.
The building was crowded - . The singing was ad-
mirable, the choir aiding in the most effective
manner. -The average attendance was 350, con
tributions $470. Addresses were delivered by
Messrs. Cookman, Perrins and others.
UNION MILLS, ERIE CO., PA.—Eleven were
received to -the Presbyterian church here on pro
fession of faith last Sabbath, (May 12,) making
twenty-seven thus received since Jan. 1. The
additions have been almost entirely of adults,
and to a large extent heads of families, thus
greatly increasing the strength and influence of
the Church, which numbered only sixty members
at the beginning of the year. There have been
no extra preaching services, except a few even
ings in a school-house.
THE PRESBYTERY OF UNION . , Tenn. at th 4
last meeting, ordained Mr. Isaac Emory to the
Gospel ministry.
011.IIRCHES. — The contributions of Madison
Square Church for the past year for their regular
mission and various benevolent objects, were $9.6;
697, independently of church expenses. Their
pew assessment was $19,000. Sixty-two united
by profession, 62 by letter from .other churches;
infant baptisms, 42;. present church membership;
1067; connected with the Church and. Mission
Sabbath schools, 1300.—The way being opened
for the organization of a Presbyterian- church in
East Saginaw, Mich., the first sermon was preached
on Sabbath, Feb. 24th; and just one month there-
after the first sacrament of the Lord's Supper was
administered to an organized church of thirty,
six members; nine of whom ivereadmitted on pro,
fession of faith. But for a very stormy Sabbath
there would have. been :over forty. Two elders
were chosen and installed. Every week's labor in
visiting discloses new :families of Presbyterians,
and there is hope- of quite a large addition at our
next communion.=-Rev.• Henry -Little •has been
holding meetings at Anderson; Ind. On. Sabbath,
April 21st, he received sixteen members into the
church, fourteen on profession ; six' husbands and
their wives. The interest still continues.—On
the 30 of April the North River Presbytery, in
stalled Rev.- C. H. Baldwin , over :the church at
Peekskill, N. Y. '
The Pastor and Trustees' of the Church in
Jefferson City, Mo., have published an appeal for
funds to erect a Chapel' for the use' of their con
gregation. The Presbyterians are the only de
nomination having a stated ministry in this cap
ital city' who have no church - edifice, the Old
School church property having passed into the
hands of the M. E. Church during the rebellion.
Rev. J. A. Whitaker, as Chaplain'of the House of
Representatives and a resident for the last two
winters of Jefferson City, is known personally to
most of the members of the last two legislatures,
and it is hoped they, knowing all the facts; will
co-operate in this object. Remittal - ices may be
made to his' Excellency, Gov:Tletcher, and the
pastor and trustees at Jefferson City.; 'or to Rev.
Henry A. Nelson, D. D., and Hon.
State Senator, St. Louis. The 'Episcopalians in
Jefferson City have been. aided by contributions
from New York to the amount of least $5OOO ;
and the pastor of the Methodist church is now
in that city for the purpose of raising the same
amount. —Five were added on profession to the
Church, College Hill, 0., at the last 'communion.
—The Church of Vernon, N. Y., are building a
parsonage at a cost of nearly $3000; and-'at the
same time they have generously remembered their
pastor, Rev. C-. L. Hamilton, by adding two
-hundred dollars to his 'salary.—Rev. B. Bos
worth's post-office 'address is changed- from Syra
cuse, to Phoenix, N. Y. .
NORTH-WEST
MARYSVILLE, CAL.-. Rev W.W. McComber,
in his second annual sermon, sums
,up the results
of the year as follows:, "At thebeginning we had
about fifty members; now there are one hundred
and twenty-seven. There have been added to
the Church seventy-five members, only two by
letter, thirty-six have< been -baptized, twenty
three of whom were - adults. Our Sabbath-school
numbers about one hundfed and fifty members,
with two noble Bible classes. For our means, our
contributions have not been stinted. We have
contributed for congregational expenditures $3,-
395; miscellaneous, $2,705; Sabbath-school,
about $125; American; Bible Society, $100;
Assembly Church Erection Fund ; $33 ; Mileagt
Fund $lO, making a total of $6,858 during the

and that to the people by Rev. Joseph Chester.
THE CHURCH at Middle 'Smithfield, Pa; has
been visited, during the past few weeks,
with a
precious outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Thirty
five have been received on profession of their
faith,--while others will unite with other churches
—embracing in some cases almost entire - families,
and still many are inquiring.
ACCESSIONS.—The church in Wyoming, lowa,
on a recent Sabbath, received 19 to membership,
15 by profession.—The church in Pisgah, Ind:,
received 7 on a recent communion Sabbath, being
