Spear, the firstsettled pastor, preached a quarter of a century sermon April 26, it beiug the 25th anniversary of his pastorate. A Reunion, of those who had been connected with the Sabbath school, occurred in the evening at 71 o’clock.—Rev 0. H. Bar nard of Brockport, N.

Dr. Spear, on Friday night last, April 27th, with an envelope containing twelve $lOO bills, the occasion being the 25th anniver sary of his ministry. Lane Seminary— The installation services of Rev.

Central Turkey Mission.— ln Aintab, a house of worship is to he erected tor the second church, which becomes again independent. There is great readiness to hear the truth on the part of the Ar menians, Visitors are appointed tor the different sections of thecity, who are often called upon for their reports. The churches have appointed about thirty of their best men, to take each a division of streets, and call on and converse with those who will hear the word. East Turkey Mission.— ln Mardin, the opening year witnessed the' organization of a church of nineteen members, its close finds it in the sole charge of its young pastor, who, from the day of his ordinatiou, receives his whole support from the people. He is of them—so much educated that his people cap look up to him, but not so as to be out of sympathy with and unhappy among them. His church uow numbers thirty members. The contri butions have increased from $lO7 to $2OO (gold), without counting the'entire suit with which they clothed their new pastor and the watch, they gave, him ; all which they did self-moved. The proof of sincerity which this assumption of their own ex penses gives, is drawing others to their ranks, and outsiders are showing that they think a religion worth paying for is worth inquiring into.—The church at Diarbekir now numbers 127, of whom 21 were received in February, 1867.—Sixty out-stations in all are occupied in this mission and in still other villages teachers are sought for.—The lehme church is of itself sending out colporteurs, who meet with a cordial welcome in villages where great opposition to the truth had been offered.—ln Harpool the na tive pastor in a receo t thanksgiving sermon replied to those who complain that the missionaries do not bring to the people all the blessings of civilization in their full development, and the comforts of-refitt ed society. He said: ‘ It is not possible to import these things from without. The missionaries have given us the fountain, the source of all these, in the Word ol God. These things we are to seek for our selves, from this fountaiu. They must grow up within us, must be developed. It is childishness to expect them in any other way. You can do more real good to yourselves in one year than all the missionaries can do (or you in filty years.’ The Syria Mission sends an earnest appeal for at least three men, at the earliest possible lime.—At Sidon, the female boarding-school has been in quite successful operation' since the first of November. There were thirteen pupils. In the lack of suitable native teachers, Mrs. Watson, a pious English lady,, who has long had a very flourishing school 1 on Mount Lebanon, kindly couseuted to spend the win ter at Sidon, and superintend the school as ‘ a labor of love." The boys’ school was also more flourish ing than ever before; the Sabbath congregation in creasing ; and there were "lirgentcalls for religious teachers and schools" from several places in the vicinity.— At Beirut there have been “ manifest to kens of the presence of the Holy Spirit,’’: and the addition ot fourteen members by profession. During ten months, the Native Evangelical Society collect ed 7,000 piasters, expended chiefly in the support of a book magazine in the city, and a travelling col porteur. Young men of the church sustained a Sabbath service, throughout the year, at Kefr Shima , six miles frbm the city. Monthly collections Ibr the poor, amounted in a year to 3,618 piasters. In Ebon (Sooth Seas) Mr. Snow reports 44 ac cessions to the Church, and has visited h> a old sta tion Kusaie, where the native pastor, Kanoa, re ceived 61 to membership and during his stay 44 more were added. Three chapels have been erected; the last, by the King and all the people, being, about 36 feet by 50, wall two feet thick, with gothic arches over four ol thedoors. The native Christians are beginning to exercise a good influence over the European sailors, one of whom had began his usual course of shore wickedness, but was so. impressed by the services at a native prayer-meeting that he was brought to repentance. Two young men of the Ebon church while at Narno, on another island, preached on the Sabbath to a congregation of about 300, including several chiefs, and were heard* very respectfully. In Fonape (South. Seas) where once a little band, met to worship God, were fired upon and stoned, and where Mr, Sturges was near being over come and robbed fourteen years ago, over one hundred partook at a recent comm union of- the ele ments j Six hundred witnessed the scene. For two years and more, the heathen party looked upon their tljinning ranks with jealous feelings, and treated the Christian chiefs and tribes with indigni ty. When the King went so far as to take posses sion of the high chiefs’ lands, and commenced to disfranchise fill the chiefs and their people, and there seemed to be no way but to assert their rights or lose all, the missionary advised the people to stand for their,rights. A very large force was gath ered ; and a note was sent to the King, stating that the lands must be returned. He, seeing his. weak ness, agreed to restore tlie places, and be friendly. The heathen party are still unfriendly; the King, af ter "signing the treaty," wferit oh arming and fortify ing; and one of the houses of worship has been fired upon as the people were dispersing from wor ship. The heathen are desperate but too weak to fight. The Christians are erecting a new church and a parsonage. The Sandwich Islands —At the Suffolk (Mass.) Conference of Unitarian Churches Mr. W. A- xsrl g" liam said: “ I confess to you that, four years ago, I. believed, as many Unitarians believed,, that for eign missions were useless and absurd; or, at least, were only useful to teach people how to open their purses. I thought that missionaries were a fanati cal, narrow-minded set of men, who could get no parishes or societies at home, and went off to for eign lands because they seemed to have no other work. But a residence of a year and a half on the THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, APRIL 30, 1868. Hawaiian Islands was enough and more than enough to undeceive me. I found there a band of missionaries who, in about forty years, have raised a whole people frorii the lowest depths of barbar ism. to a civilised condition that we might be proud of in New England. I had heard so many stories of the deceit, hypocrisy, and tyranny that these missionaries practiced upon the unsophisticated na tives, that I really believed them. I did not know then, as I do now, from what sources those stories came. Since then I have been in the houses, and have lived in the familiesof almost all the thirty m is sionaries who, with their predecessors'have effected this great work, and can bear my testimony, and I do it gladly, and will do it anywhere, that I have never met a purer, more devoted, and truer band of men than these same foreign missionaries, sent out by the American Board. Of course I need not refer to the work they have done there. It is the grandest example of foreign mission work that the world has ever seen, perhaps, and might be the text for very many sermons; but I think it is fami liar to you all.” BRITISH ISLANDS. The Irish Church, which, as an establishment, will probably not survive the next parliament, is the great topic of discussion. Its friends cry that its abolition will punish the loyal and reward the disloyal, thereby alienating the former without gaining the latter; that in removing the Anglican clergy you remove the only centres of peace and quiet left in Ireland. [This will hardly have great weight with those who know the part taken by that clergy in Orangeism, which the stricter Presbyte rians always opposed, and the Episcopalians cher ished.] They urge that if every institution distaste ful to Irish Catholics is to be removed for the sake of peace, then the British Government may evacu ■ ate Dublin. The liberals retort, that if the loyalty of the Irish Church is a marketable article, England may very well dispense with it; that the part play ed by the Irish Clergy in Orange Lodges forbids the supposition that they have contributed to the peace of the country; and that dis-eetablishment is not a question of Irish Catholic likes and dislikes but of justice. The allegation made in Parliament that.the Irish Church has the support of the Irish Presbyterians is flatly denied, so far as the vast ma jority. of the Presbyterian ministry is concerned, by an Irish Presbyterian Professor. It is also announ ced that the Presbyterian constituencies in Ulster which'have hitherto almost universally chosen Episcopalian Tories, are hereafter to be represented by mem hers of their own creed, as the interests of the denomination need better looking after. The Irish Lord Dufferin (a great authority on Irish questions) writes to the agent on his estates to say that this act of justice to Roman Catholics “ will do more to awaken the zeal of Churchmen, and to advance the interests of the Reformed faith in Ireland, than anything that] has been done for three hundred years.” The calls to be hereafter made upon Protestants will be only similar to those to which more than 4.000,000 Catholics are subject. As most of those resident on his estates are Pres byterians, he will guarantee to every congregation on these estates a permanent subscription (unfetter ed by any conditions except such; as may be sug gested by the General Assembly) equivalent to whatever proportion of the Jlegium Dpmim they may be deprived of under the impending settlement. He would gladly make an analogous announcement to the Episcopal clergymen in whose parishes his es tates are sitilated, but wishes first to consult the views of other landed.proprietors as to the specific arrangements to be made. In the interests of both Churches, preparations.cannot, he considers, be too soon begun for the inevitable change. The Church News (Ritualist) recommends the establishment of Romanism alone in Ireland. "Such a step,” it says, “would tend to provide a school of moderate priests whose influence in favor of Corporate Ke-union-in the future would be. at once great and beneficial. For we must look to the Future and we must look to Corporate Re-union as the true and Divine reme dy for air our manifold evils ‘And palpable losses; ' The divisions of past nges, which have wrought such mischiefs, must be healed hot by the moving of individuals from one communion to another but by a solemn, formal, corporate action.” The Ritualist Commission have agreed upon eight clauses of their Report, condemning the use of ihcense, vestmeuts of novel shades and colors, and altar-lights. They recommend that a speedy and inexpensive’remedy for aggrieved parishioners be provided. They concede liberty in doctrines, but insist on uniformity of usage. Dean Plnmptre pro poses to settle the Vestment controversy by having the new-fashioned'robes adopted by the Low and Broad churchmen. As soon as they ceased to be badges of party, the Ritualists would give them up and go back to the surplice. Perhaps it will serve the same end that Unitarians are imitating the Ritualists. Rev. Goodwin Barm by, Unitarian minister of Wakefield, trusts a day will come when the Unitarians will celebrate their worship with such a ritual as was once used by the Arians beneath the Metropolitan dome of Constantinople- In their new churches crosses above the Communion table, stone Communion tables and floral garlands round them are irequently to be found., FRANCE. Cardinal Bonaparte is a sign of the times, fie is the son of Lucien, a younger brother of the Great Napoleon and is in his fourteenth year. He has the Bonaparte face, and is very taciturn. He was given , the first place at the consecration, and received the name of St. Pudentius, from Pudentia, who first showed hospitality to Peter on his visit to Rome. The expenses of his installation were de frayed by his cousin the Emperor, and he now re sides in Rome, which still make his elevation to the Papacy less difficult than if he were in France. The National Reformed Church of France like the Presbyterian Church of England is an in stance of how a Presbyterian Church is laid open to the inroads of error, by being deprived of its pro per ecclesiastical polity and reduced to a virtual Con gregationalism. The Free Church of France, like the Irish Presbyterian Church, illustrates the close connection between a firm Scriptural orthodoxy and Presbyterian order. A deputation was seat to the Emperor in the month of May, last year, and again solicited the convocation of the Synod of the General Assembly. Napoleon 111. showed himself not unfavorable to the request. But the Radical Protestauts, supported by certain influential per sonages, have obstinately and violently: combated the re-establishment of this time-honored institu tion. These same rationalists show how far their li berality goes by their votes in the late elections. They voted with as bitter partizansbip as those whom they denounce as bigots. ' To every candi date however distinguished, if orthodox, they said: " No; you will not be appointed,, for you are Ortho dox, that is to say, intolerant; fanatical, and dis agreeable to us, who are truly Liberal. Go about your business." The Government desires to har monize the extreme parties, but faithfulness in the orthodox forbids it. In Paris, availing themselves of tills victory in the elections, they have steadily no minated none but faithful men to the vacant places, thereby causing explosions of anger from the Radi cals, who, however, have obtained from the author ities the use Of a public; hall for Pastor Ath. Coque rel, and he preaches there on Sundays to a large audience. ITAIiX. Christian Work. —The British and Foreign Bible Society, daring 1867, employed on an average 34 colporteurs, who sold 4,060 Bit/ea, 10,157 Testa ments, and 23,789 portions of Scripture. At'Ber gantino, the Scriptures in the possession of a col porteur were destroyed by a priest at the head of a mob. The Delegate took up the case, and the priest’ with two men, was tried, and sentenced to pay for the : books and the expenses ol the trial, and the two men were condemned to three months’ imprison ment. They have appealed. In Venice the Evangelical Mission continues to prosper and to be owned of God in the conversion of souls. Its very existence seemed in peril for a time, through the threatened loss of sight of the Waldensian pastor Comba. .He was confined to a darkened room, and the priests shouted from the pulpit, " We may write on the doors of the Evan gelical Church,‘A shop to let,’’’ His sight was unexpectedly restored, and another affliction—the loss of his two children, enabled him to testify with power and feeling against the merciless dogma of purgatory. Four New Stations have been opened by the Wal denses, At Prato, near Florence, a growing congre gation hear the word with great satisfaction from Signor Feretti, who avoids controversy, and seeks, he says, “ to make, not Protestants, but, with God’s blessing, sincere believers in Jesus.” At Lecce, near Naples, the same course was attempted, but the more fanatical Catholics forced .on discussion. The work is progressing: the civil auihorities ad vise caution, but refuse to interfere. At Term,, in Central Italy, an Evangelist and colporteur are at work, and meetings are held privately. Some peo ple of the place have been Bible readers and Bible Christians for years. In Lombardy “ the harvest is plenteous, the laborers few. Fifty towns and cities are begging for Evan gelists. Umbria, where the movement is marked and vigorous, is the centre of a district (Friuli) “ white to the harvest.” Signor Gezola writes of it: “ All the brethren and' friends of the Gospel who came to hear me the first days after my coming, continue to be present each evening, and manifest increasing interest and satisfaction, and bring other new ones with them, all do everything to encourage me. ' ‘ The Neapolitan Schools are among the most note worthy of the means in use for tho regeneration of Southern Italy. They occupy the very ground where, centuries ago, Juan Valdes, Peter Martyr and other worthies testified for Christ. These schools are at tended by many of those sharp Neapolitan children, who give evidence not only of their advancement in secular knowledge, but also in truths of the Chris tian religion, which for generations were unknown in that city. In one schoool there are 122 boys and 54 girls. Another numbers 40 boys and 65 girls. There is a fourth, Evangelical, school, attended by about 120 children. The school which meets at Cavone is attended by 96 boys. Had the Committee the funds, other schools might easily be opened in other parts of the city; and if similarly conducted, would effect similar results. Signor Gavazzi has been holding a series of con ferences in Leghorn, Florence, Pisa, and Lucca. The subject of. these addresses has been the errors taught in the Creed of Pius IV. The popular in terest in these meetings is only exceeded by the hostility of the priests who at Lucca offered, to dispute with him and then came with such crowds of armed peasants that the meetings were stopped by the civil authorities. $ awui: flfijit ©ttfititaTti The Philadelphia Reformed Presbytery will hold its stated semi-annual session in' the lecture room of the,First Reformed Presbyterian church, commencing Tuesday evening, May sth, at 7-30 o’clock.

Stuart, Esq:— My Dear Christian Brother: —lt has been appointed my duty to write to America a; copy of the action of jour; Presbytery on the subject of Unionamong the different .branch es of the Presbyterian Church in our country. It is as follows : "The question of Union amongst the various branches of the Presbyterian Church, as set forth iri the Basis of Union adopted by the Philadelphia Convention of November last, having been taken up : “It was unanimously resolved, “1. That this Presbytery recognize with profound gratitude to God the spirit of wisdom and harmony which He imparted to the Convention. “2. This Presbytery is quite prepared to enter into an organic Union with all the other members of tbe-Church of Christ on the terms of the basis adopted by that Convention. 3. “This Presbytery regards it as a aolemn duty to urge this measure upon the members of the Gener al Synod, feeling persuaded, that the conversion of the world will be greatly promoted by the proposed Union. “4. This Presbytery trusts that the General Synod at its next meeting in May, will follow the recom mendation to appoint five delegates tb carry out the proposed measure for union." J. Caldwell, Moderator. Saharanpur, March 4th, 1868. You will infer that we, in India, are very strong ly in favor of the proposed Union. One of our strongest motives in the matter, is.that the proposed measure has an intimate connection with the spread of Gospel truth in heathen lands. Its resulis will also be most beneficial to the cause of Christ in America. ~ I would much like to write you at length on; this subject, but all that I could bring forward would be almost a repetition of what has again aud again been urged in a competent manner. Allow me, however, to allude, very briefly, to one or two points in this connection. There seems to be a determined disposition on the part of many professing, the name of Christ in our day, to restore the errors of Popery. Now it need scarcely be stated, that the most effectual bar rier that can be opposed to these injurious efforts would be intimate union amongst the true follow ers of tlie Lord Jesus. Further, I am almost inclined to adopt the opin ion that there will be, at no very distant day, a union of the semi-Popish portion of the English Church with;the Romish and Greek Churches, one ,of whose aims will be the subjection of the rest of Christendom to their erroneous views, and that there may take place the “slaying of the witness es." If there is such a prospect before us, or any thing like it, evangelical Churches of all denomina tions ought, as far as practicable, to unite in main taing the principles of God’s Holy Word, and all our different Presbyterian branches have another powerful motive for forming an organic union. We congratulate you on , being .one of . the chief instruments in God’s good providence in origina- ting the Convention of November last in Philadel phia. I am thankful to state that we are all in usual health, except Mrs. Cablet-wood, who is still far from being in good health, and are getting on in our work as formerly. With kindest Christian regards, Yours affectionately, J. Caldwell. MARRIED. POLLOCK—BtJttB.—On Tuesday morning, April 21st, by the Rev. S. C. Hepburn, assisted by the Rev. .1.
