FIRST OHIIROH, PHILADELPHIA.
At a meeting of the congreg,ation, held Dec.
9th, a unanimous call for the pastoral services of
HERRICK JOHNSON, D.D , was made out at a
liberal salary. It is earnestly hoped that Dr.
Johnson may see his way clear to accept the call ;
especially is the First Church are prepared to
wait until he has fully tested the effects of the
Lake Superior climate upon the health of his
wife. A cordial welcome from all his brethren
in this city awaits his coming.
THIRD PRESBYTERY OP PHILADELPHIA
ON REUNION.
At an adjourned meeting of this Presbytery,
held on the 16th inst, the following resolutions
were inaramoioVadopted :
"Resay.ed, That this Presbytery regards with
satisfaC s tion the movements looking toward a union
of the various Presbyterian Churches of the
United States.
R( sorbed, That this Presbytery is satisfied with
the Terms of:Re:Ml*on proposed for consideration
by the Joint Committee of the two Genet-al As
semblies of the Presbyterian Church in the
United States.'
MARKS or PROGRESS.--The labors of the
missionaries of the American Board in the
Sandwich Islands, (including the more recent
years in which the service has been self-sus
taining,) have covered a period of nearly
half a century. The result is before the
world—a civilized instead of barbarous peo
ple; a Christian instead of a heathen nation.
But says the New York Church Journal, the
organ of the Rome-bound party in the Epis
copal Church, "The . Puritan Missionary
work which began.in the Sandwich Islands,
about forty-five years ago, became long ago
so rotten, as to disgust the ruling powers of
the nation." This bit of defamation occurs
in the course of an article laudatory of Bi
shop. Staley's enterprise there. Our readers,
we suppose, are by this time tolerably fa
miliar with the last named movement.
Some English residents
. of the Islands got
the ear of a youthful, susceptible, and some
what clever lady, who happened .to occupy
the position of queen; and charmed ~her
fancy with the ornamental displays of an
English Church service, of tha: Paseyistic
stamp. This opened the door for a prosely
ting enterprise, which was meant to attain,
gigantic proportions. Under ritualistic in
fluences,and in the face of the protest of
the Evangelical clergy and laity, but "by
invitation of the Queen," an English mis
sion to the Islands was inaugurated; and
Dr. Staley was consecrated as the bead of
the now hierarchy, to be known as the "Re
formed Catholic" establishment, to be made
up, as usual in such cases, of those who could
be lured from the fold into which they were
first gathered. This flagrancy has been car
ried on a few years. The high expectations
with which it started, have been but indiff
erently fulfilled : still it does parade marks
of progress, a fair specimen of‘which is
given in an account recently sent from Ho
nolulu to the American Church _Missionary
Register, concerning a new school
_opened
Under the Bishop's auspices.' '4‘'ln the
chapel, of the new: Schoolnf: the Sisters of
Mercy, there is an altar . covered with cloth
of gold, trimmed with costly lace. In the
centre of the altar, is a revolving case or
casket, with a crucifix. On each side of the
altar are two altar lights, and on each side
of these, a. candelabra with seven branches.
In front is a suspended lamP, usually burn:
ing. Incense vessels are hanging by the
altar. Thereis also at hands spoon for the
incense."
Iri the - meantime " the original and Evan
gelical enterprise has, also, its marks of pro
gress, a sample of which is contained in tire
following account: "The Protestant Ha
waiian churches have contributed, during
the past year, for various religious uses,
$27;238.88. During the past .fifteen years,
$314,048 have been Contributed. Though
the population is decreasing, the total of
contribUtions is increasing." These char
acteristics and fruits :of the respective agen
cies lie 'side by side.. If Bishop Staley's
sympathizers, Englistror American, are sa
tisfied with the contrast, we are.

CHICAGO, Dee: 13th,-1867
PEAR AMERICAN :—lt is with pain that I
announce to you the, decease of Rev. J. S.
MORTON, pastor of the' 'Presbyterian church
at•-Waukegan. — Brdther. M. has been for
some time subject to sudden and dangerous
attacks of inflammatory rheumatism. Seized
with one of these some two or three weeks'
since, he seemed to have passed the critical
point, and was feeling unusually well, when
on Saturday evening last, the disease re
turned in - great force upon him, and -fa,ster.-
ing itself upon the lungs, produced a con
gestion, of which he died on the evening of
the next day. Thus has' passed from among
us, as it were in_an instant, on e.of the young
est,atid most promising of our pastors, leav
ing to lament his lose.a loving and appreci
tive people; a youthful widow and two little
ones,and
friends .
a i n en rim ds ! r oue circle of attached and
admiring
Mr. Morton began his professibnal life as
a lawyer in the city of New York, where
he practiced for a brief period. But his
tastes and inclinations, as well as -a" senie.of
duty, led him soon'tifrabandon the legal pro
fession for that of a preacher of Ohrist. For
the last three or four years he has minis
tered to the people among whom he died
with great acceptance, and with .promise of
enlarged usefulness in the future. But the
Master *to other work for
, hiat,,to do, and
he bait heard"and obeyed the liti'mmons to
"goArp 'higher." kildthus:_iliZ;W'e, his.breth
ren and fellow laborers, warned once again
tp a greater ,diligence : and, fulelity.,_in-, our
daily shortening Work. May it not be in
vain.
It was. an riounced -.the
,t3bcolar journals
of our city, some, few weeks since, that
meetingl ad taken place the previous day, at
the Tremon t House, between Mr. Bowen, pro
prietor of " The Independent," and several
prominent Congregationalist clergymen of
the North-west, with the purpose ,on the
part of the latter of " straightening out" that
somewhat crooked and erratic sheet—a pur
pose which was understood to have been in
a good measure , accomplished. The affair
has however given rise to various : comments,
and these again have called forth :from the
"party of the second
,part" the following
STATEMENT
"It is known by the religious public that the under
signed are engaged in an effort to bring about such
changes in the editorial management of The Inde ,
pe?ident as shall secure its thorough fidelity to the
cause of evangelical truth. We have reason to be
lieve that the proprietor is sincerely and earnestly
endeavoring to ascertain what arrangements are
cessary to! redeem the ,pledge be has given to the
public, and the still more ample and minute pledges,
which he has made in private tous, and we have,
as yet, no reason to doubt that such. arrangements
will be adopted. Should we be disappointed. in this
respect., we shall not fail to give due information to
the public. The result, whatever it may be, will be
likely to determine the position of The Independent,
in respect to its evangelical character, unequivocal
ly and finally. We think we understand what we
are doing, and if our brethren will be patient, and
not allow themselves, as some have done, to ascribe,
without a particle of truth, selfish and even sordid
motives, to the various parties concerned, we shall
endeavor, in due time, to bring out a result which
shall at least be intelligible, and which, we hope,
may be one in which we shall all rejoice.

It would seem from these intimations that
the independence of this very prominent
journal is scarcely all that its name would
seem to claim for it. The passage abont '
therweditorial management" appears - to hint
plainly at the tilting of the chief editOr from
his tripod. Icor does it seem likely that
these prominent and decided Congregation
alists are aiming merely at securing the
" evangelical" character of thepaper. The,
public will be slow.to believe that there is
no purpose .or desire to -continue to make'
this ,widely - read and influential - slieet, what"
it-once was, the organ: of-an:ag,gressive de

will be maintained under this pressure.

OUR ROCHESTER ObBRESPOADENT.
THOSE PROPORTIONS. ' '
We said to a minister one day, "your deW: is
rather too high from your pulpit floor.; it' brings
yolir manuscript too, near your eyes; it hides too
much of your person, and is in the way of easy
jestlen a ion. ,
" Yes," he said, "it is: too' high; it is 'in my
way, and I feel awkward behind it. I wanted it
cut down several inchea; but my people objected
to that, because it would injure the proportions!"
The desk was made of pine, printed and var
nished, Sacred wood that. It would not ',an
swer to cut a few, inches off from top or bottom, it .
would harm the "proportional" So the minis
ter must stand behind a breastwork almost up.to
his chin. He must lift'his arms awkwardly, and
swing them only horizontally and , cautiously, or
he will find out which is the hardiest, the var
nished pine or his knuckles. And yet, he must
be graceful. - must - fOrget himself, knuckles
or no knuckles, and pour all his thoughts and
htart into the theme, or "he does not meet the
wants of our congregation."
Will some Church Committee tell us how a
man is to forget himself, and give all his thought
and heart to his theme, in such circumstances ? 0,
gentlemen, we know a secret. Not a few ministers
would feel much more comfortable in the sacred
desk, and preach with just so much more ease
and power, if they had the pulpit made to suit
themselves. What; are the "proportions" ,to
your minister's comfort and usefulness?
We met, also, not long since, with some pulpit
chairs, huge, square, straight-backed, uncomfortar
ble in evel way, and so high that the minister
could get his feet to the floor, only by sitting,
awkwardly half way upon the front edge. We
said, "your chairs are too high; they are uncom
fortable." " Yes," he said, "I suggested cutting
off the legS(and making them lower_; but it was
said, that that would not answer, because it would
spoil the " proportions." There it was again ;

PRESBYi'Brtir OF BUFFALO
This body held its semi-annual meeting at the
Westminister Church in Buffalo, on the 10th in
stant. Rev. Wm. Norton was made Moderator,
and Ray. Wm. Waith clerk—opening sermon by
Mr. Waith, the last Moderator.
REV'. J. F. BINGHAM, formerly of Westminis
ter Church, was dismissed, to unite with an as
sociation in Maine, as he has accepted a call to
Augusta in that State.
REV. G: D. PIKE, a very efficient agent of the
American Missionary Association, residing in
Rochester, was heard in behalf of the work. of
that Society among the Freedmen ; whereupon
the following resolution was adopted by the Pres
bytery:
"Regarding the urgent need of education
among the Freedmen of the South, and believing
that religion and education should .go hand in
hand, we regard the American Missionary Asso
ciation, for its age and well-established character,
also from the fact that it, sends only evangelical
teachers, as the best channel at present, through
which our churches, can aid the Freedmen; and
recommend them to place,,.it upon their annual
list of benevolent contributions.
ITEMS
Church fairs and church suppers seem to be
quite the rage at the present time. We know of
something like half a dozen being held this week;
a fair with the Lafayette St. Church in Buffalo ;
a grand Bazar , by the ladies of the: First Pres
byterian Church, Auburn, to raise money toward
the furnishing of the new, church edifice, to be
built next summer; a donation visit and oyster
supper, for Rev. C. W. Hawley, of Waterville,
held at the AMerican Hotel in that village; an
oyster supper by the ladies of the Presbyterian
Church of Catnden,,with reference to the church
edifice to be built by that Society next spring.
We learn, alSo, that the Church in Big Flats,
of which Rev. Wm. Atwood is pastor, has been
engaged in repairinc , and refitting their house of
worship. It was.tobe_ready for occupation, and
to be dedicated, to morrow, 15th inst.
The steeple of the Presbyterian Church edi
fice at Weedsport, was blown down on the night
of 'the 6th instant, It fell into the street, but
we believe no one was injured by the fall. For
tunately, also,, the bell escaped all harm.
REV. A. . Cc:amiss, of Holland Patent, has
received a call to the Presbyterian Church of
FaYetteVille, of which Rev. W. J. Erdman was
recently the pastor. He is much beloved by the
people of Holland Patent, whom he has faithfully
served for thirteen years, and we doubt if they
will suffer him to leave_ them at present. He is
an admirable preacher,alaithful pastor, and well
qualified fox almost any pulpit.
REIT. DR. F!SHER is preaching a course of
sermons on the Life of Christ, which are largely
attended, and excite a good degree of interest.
The congregation of Westminister. Church is
much increased since he took charge of it, and
everything seems to indicate a high degree of
prosperity. Why should it not, with one of our
most gifted and able preachers in its desk ?
MR. PAR DEE has given a course of lectures,
excellent, and suggestive, to the students of Au
burn Seminary; on the subject of Sabbath Schools.
We learn from good authority, that .the lectures
were highly appreciated, and evidently did much
good.
And next month, Rev. Dr. Anderson, of Bos
ton, is to give his lectures on Missions, in the
same institution. And those, also, will, doubt
less, embody a great amount of wisdom on that
subject, and will be well worth hearing, not only
by the students, but .by pastors and friends of
missions from all the region. We trust he—will
have a large congreaation to hear him, and make
many missionaries by his lectures.
We hear that PR. HA„wLE,Y; of Auburn, is
again on his :native soil.. He was at Fortress
Monroe on the 12th, on .his way to Washington,
and is expected home in a, few , days when we
shall , probablysha know on what "secret service." he

teries of 61. Louis, .11 7- orthern Missouri, Lexing:
ton, Osage and Kansas—in all, forty-seven min
isters and,fifty-two churetes—met in, the :First
Church, St. Louis on the evening of Thurs
day, Nov. 14th. Present 25 ministers and 5 el
ders. There was a goodly representatiotrfrom
abroad; 7 from the Synod of Illinois; 2 from
Synod of Cincinnati; 3 from Synod of Missouri;
(0. S.); 3 from Congregational Association of
Missouri. Reformed Presbyterian and United
Presbyterian—one each. Rev. James A. Darrah .
was unanimously elected 'Moderator.
The correspondent of the _Herald says :—The
peculiarity of the occasion was the fact that it
was the semi-centennial anniversary of the First
Church, St. Louis, and special exercises were had
with reference to that event. The First Church
was organized Nov. 14th, 1817, and that event
was practically the beginning of Presbyterianism
West of the great river. The first church ever
organized West of the river was formed Aug. 2d,
181 e, in Washington Co., about eighty miles from
St. Louis. Thee First Church, St. Louis, was the
fourth in numerical order, but by far the first in
importance. It was for some timethe only Protes
tant Church in that city, and has always held a
prominent position, not only in that city, but in
the State. Discourses were delivered on the
Life and Times of Samuel Giddings, who found
ed the church, by Rev. D. Dimond and on. Dr.
Ballard by Rev. T. Hill. On Saturday evening
there was held in the First Church a prayer and
conversational union meeting. of a very interest
bac, character during which Rev. S. J. Niceolls of
the Second Presbyterian Church, and Rev. Dr.
Post of the First . Congregational Church, and
Dr. Nelson made some exceedingly felicitous al
lusions to Dr. Potts the second pastor of the
church, and gave some sketches of his character
and work in St. Louisa At the very pleasant sa
cramental meeting, held Sabbath afternoon,
seven hundred communicants were'present, the
Moderator of Synod, Rev. James A. Darrah, was
assisted by Dr. Post, and brother Niccolls, of the
O. S. Church. • •
Another correspondent says :—Never, in the
history of the Synod, has the door been so wide
open for •missionftfy work as the present, never
were the calls, so urgent for men as now. Thir
teen, ministers are now needed to supply places
where great. loss will soon be sustained if men do
notsoon come. A wide field for church extension was
shown to be open in'South-west Missouri, North
west Arkansas, and Southern Kansas—which are
rapidly filling up with people, are very destitute
of suitable pastors of any kind, and urgently ask
for aid. One:man, has, within two years, organ
ized four churches, and could have gathered as
many more if he could have been in different
sections of the country round, about him. There
is now a church •in Kansas waiting for a pastor
that has built a house for worship costing $3
500, yet never has had the care of a minister.

PRESBYTERY , Or ST. ',IOU'S This :body which
in 1861- had only three churches, and only seven
ministers, of whom two were ."without charges,"
and one of those on his death-bed, has now
fifteen ministers, ail actively engaged, and thir
teen churches. At its recent meeting, the most
important business was the question of consent
ing to the transfer of Dr. Nelson from his
,pre
sent pastoral charge to a chair in Lane Theologi
cal Seminary. The subject came before the Pres
bytery with the distinct avowal of his conviction
that such a transfer would enable him to serve
the Church and the Nlaster more effectively, and
an equally distinct assurance that no other reason
or motive for desiring a removal, existed. He de,
liberately professed his entire readiness to accept
the decision of the Presbytery, whatever it might
be, with entire content The congregation, on
the other hand, through able commissioners,
avowed their almost unanimous dissent from their
pastor's opinion, while giving most beautiful evi
dence of perfect
. harmony with him in feel inr, and
in readiness to leave the decision to the Presbytery,
accordinc , 'to the Constitution of our Church. The
vote, taken after full deliberation and solemn and
fervent prayer, resulted in a decision in facor of
the proposed transfer.---Ifera/d.

Tor the Banner of the Covenant.
DEHRA. DooN, N. INDIA,
Ocroßßa 5, 1867.
To the _Editor of ,the Banner. of the Covenant:
DEAR BROTHER: 111 the BANNER of August
Ist I see a letter from Detroit signed Matthew
MOwatt, asking for information about " India or
phans."
The 'writer states that an appeal had been made
to the members - of the Church to support certain
orphans for the period of seven years, and he is at
a loss to know What becomes of the orphans after
the age at which such. support ceases.
With regard to the period of " seven years . '
mentioned by Mr. Mewatt, I suppose this appeal
must have had reference to boys of a certain age,
who should after Seven years be put to labor for
their own support. Boys are received into the
orphanage at all ages from infancy up to ten or
twelve years of age. After t;welVe years of age
they are seldom procurable. No boy is allowed
to leave the .institution till he is fit to earn his
own living. When a boy is fit for service in the
mission he is sent to the station that seems most
to require his -services. Should he prove unfit
for missionary work he takes up labor of a secu
lar kind.
Those who are likely to prove useful as cate
chists and assistant missionaries, are carefully
educated with a view to these offices after they
have left the orphanage. In no ca,e is any
youth left uncared for or neglected.
, The boys and girls educated in our orphanages
are looked upon by all the missionaries as in a
special manner the children of the mission, and
no one of them has ever had occasion even to seek
for en]ployment, when worthy of a place in the mis
sion or in any situation the missi..-nary could pro
cure for them.
It will be encouraging to such brethren as Mr.
Mowatt to kubw that some of our most trustwor
thy and efficient native assistants have been edu
cated in. the Saharanpur orphanage. I need
mention only the honored names of the Rev. T. W.
J. Wylie, assistant pastor at Saharanpur; the Rev.
iGilbert McMaster, assistant pastor at Debra; the
Rev. John N. McLeod, evangelist at Roorkee;
Mr. Hugh McMillan, teacher at Saharanpur; Mr.
G. H. Stuart; 'at Surputa; Mr. Joseph R. Kerr,
at Rajpoore; Mr. R. Sterling, apothecary, at
Lahathu, and many others, all of whom are re
spectable and honored representativeS of Christ
among the heathen.
No department of our labors seems to have
been more blessed than the orphanages. I think
the friendi of the cause cannot give their con
tributions to any more worthy object than the
suppprfof
,these outcast little ones—outcast from
the families of the heathen that they may Le
ingrafted into Christ. Let no one suppose
that his work is done when "seven years" have
gone by. Let all who have supported boys seven
years begin with others for a new term. While,
there is an orphan to be saved let none weary in
this holy effort.
Believe me, yours in Christian bonds,
