Thc.se two months have,been to mo each, of singu larly pleasing, and, I believe,-, permanently, useful exeitepient. I. have had the privilege .of. being at vUrious hi actings of the great .American Churches. We begun our Work with'the Reformed Presbyterian Synod of New: York, land ive could inot but feel that the zeal and quiet with which it prosecuting its labors in the midst of the great turmoil of tha,t city, well represented the.energy arid perseverance with which the Church must continue to do her wbrk, in the midst of the strife and turmoil of the 1 world, find its. changes and revolutions. Then >ve passed on to Rochester, into the midst of the well cultivated and beautiful fields and bldssoining orchards, and we could not help looking upon these as befitting •dub-' roundings,-.in.some types,drid symbols of the Christian beauty and ,the Cjjj'istiUn fruitful ness with which we had the pleasure, of seeing-fhat the Ass'etribly’s congregations . abounded. From thence 7 we : moved to Cincinnati, arid as I looked upon the vines which are ciiltivated'/upon-the hills Of that city, and.l turned;‘my course to;the Old School General Assembly,.! could hut think,,of the words of Holy Scripture, how the Lord brought a vine and ; planted it, arid made it -to : grow and in crease itntil'ite shadow filled the whole land. -Theii away to, IXeuia, Ohio, in the midst of hotjiely cot t.tges, rqmin.ding me of . the homely,but; beautiful character' of the simple in'heart, and I confess, that there I forgot'imyself altogether! !

Y. Well, J can assure you while .engaged in these dnties, I, have not merely had the highest degree pf satisfaction, but I am 'persuaded that I have learned lessons which, under the blessing of God, will be useful tome as a minister as long as it pleases Gocl to, spare my life. I have the same complaint to make ag Hr, Denkahi has already made; I. have not had the advantage of hearing as much preach ing as I had hoped. The truth is that I had found myself under the control of a bishop, and l am more and more of a,Presbyterian-than I have ever been before. Of all bisliops, tlie Lay-Bishop is the most severe! Why, I had to preach in New York.the very'evening after I arrived. I preached last night, and, for; all I’know, I will have to preach to-morrow night, Tor. we often get .abort notice in this glorious country of yours.. Hr. Denham has told you that, he has done so much for.us. Of what he lias done for me, personally, I shall say nothing, but of what he has done for us ns a deputation of this Church, I am not ashamed to say here, in the presence of his fel low-citizens, that he has,.dope allffor. us that .could have been done, arid if lie has worked us. a little too hard, I'can only say that-1 <rive‘hini‘ full and' free absolution. It may possibly oe of interest to some of tliofee'present, if LcOttld mention'a word or.twd of soof .the things' which have .very much, im pressed-rue, arid have forced themselv.es upon my ifiind, a's l have been passing from'place'to place over the country, because the places that I have enumerated, do not; by any' means, exhaust the list of the plapes where! have been. I have been car ried westward as far as Sri Louis, and seen the waters of the Mississippi. 1 have been to Washington, and have stood, upon .'what used to. be called *‘ the sacred soil " of, Virginia. I have .beep jin Chicago as well as in Cincinnati; .and mentally, I was making, a cdriiparison 'between' the three,great Western cities, but i can assure you that I was'too wise to give ui terance to -the/conclusion to wlitch I came respect ing.. them. I, have been northward to' Canada, as far as La Fayette, southward as far as Kentucky, but the other places where I have been, the cities between St. Louis and Boston, I need not enumerate. I have shared in the feeling which every man must It aye, a feeling of surprise at tlie magnitude of tlie country in which I have travelled, and, the thought has sometimes come into my mind, is it really possible that, an empire covering such space as this, can continue in unity. I h,ave thought of the manner in which the Roman Empire almost by reason of its own strength and extent, natu rally' fell to pieces. But then I'’thought, How different the bonditibns! ! There might ‘have been a revolution in the Pvoman Kmpirb, there might have, been sedition-.in Rome itself,:and Englarid would not have known ; it for many vyeeks, buti tlyere is no partof,'thesy United States tli.at into morelminediateand iutimateconnectidn with the centre by steahr and ' tfi'e 'electric telegraph, thafi even the portions of Italy were brought into coft l tact with the Capitol of that great empire. - Still the thought, will aoinetuhes come up, Is' fit toi be with America and G’vat Britain as it was !; with Rome? Ah, there is,nq true comparison between these two greatemp’resarid thegreatempireofthepast!

There,,is thq question of the dis-establishmerif of the Episcopal Church and the removal of state grants from every : other Church, and there is the alternative of that, i the endowment of all denominations', How it is to be settied I cannot say,' but it is nothing about i which Christian people need feel any concern.
