In his sermon (on Acts xx, 18.) he said that when he came a young man from Lansingburgh, Brooklyn was a town of 20 - 000 inhabitants, and th£ church, then newly or ganised, had seventy-four members. Now Brook lyn contains 400.000 people, and while scarcely one of the original members survive, the church numbers 694. Of the 1515 added during his pastorate, 575 weire by examination, and 940 by letter; deaths 98; dismissions 771. Of this number, 50 left some thirteen years since to form the Westminster church.

DEDICATION OF. THE NEW HOUSE OF WORSHIP! We find in the Cincinnati '■ Gazette of April 13th an acount of the opening of the beautiful house' of worship recently erected by our brethren in the “ Queen City of the West.” The Gazette;says: The-beautiful blue limestone chur'ch'-edifice on Plum street, between Eighth and Ninth, far completed that the basement is ready for occu pation. Yesterday forenoon it was used for public worship fpr the first-time. The membership is com posed almost exclusively of Scotch people and their immediate descendants. . . r , The first church edifice for this congregation Vas erected in 1829, on George street, between Race and Elm, on the ground now owned by Enoch McGrew. In 186(5, this church property was sold, the prepar ations were made for building at once.- The cost Of. the ground on which the new house stands, was $14,000. , About $23,000 have ..been expended in bringing the building into its present state,, and about. $5,000 will lie required tb Complete it. Thus lar no debt hangs ovei 1 it, and it la tlie intention that when completed it shall have none. Our native blue limestone forms the exclusive' material of the structure. For church purposes, and especially for the Gothic Btyl.e-.in which this house Is built, no other material is ro well adapted. No other style will work so well irregular forms and fragments into its walls. 'This peculiarity amounts almost to a requirement of the Gothic, whi'ch the v&iddd’ form, thickness, surface aud color of the stone from our local quarries answer admirahly,, The first .intention was to build with brick, but just at the time of entering the contract, Rtone’ was found the cheaper, though a longer time was re quired by its use. One year ago the walls were To,-day a beautiful church, seventy five feet by forty-four feet in external dimensions, with a basement and large audience room, is near ly completed. A feature worthy of imitation is the completion of the spire—‘ft consummation that can not be predicated of a, great many, of our city churches. The basement,' which is completed, con sists of three rooms for’a sexton, an ample lecture room, an infant class room, and a pastor s study. Between the two last rfientiorted rooms, a wide hall leads from the front door to* the lecture room. The lecture room is furnished with plain seats, imitation of walnut. By means.of both the pastor’s study and the Infant class room can be made a part of the room. Carpets are placed in the aisle of the lecture room and matting iti the adjacent infant room'and study. The facade on Plum street is a beautiful specimen of l architectural composition. No offsets break the line of the wall. Out of the SQ.uthrweet tower grows harmoniously uptyard, fr,j>,n);.»;,6q,H ar ® into a graceful octagonal taper, wljjcp ts, terminated, by a quatrefoil Gothic finial, a hundred and twenty THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, MAY 7, 1868. five feet from the ground. On the opposite corner tlip front wall rises as if to form a tower, but ter minates in a gable facing northward, and level with the comb of the roof. Over the front dorvvay is a portico in keeping with the style of the build jng. The arrangement of the windows in the front is an example of unity in variety worthy of careful study. A large rose window, in just the right place; five Gothic windows separated by slender columns with foliated capitals, catch the eye first. Then a multitude of smaller windows arranged singly or in pairs, varying in Bize and relieved by an occasional quatrefoil, go to make up an effect which more pre tentious architecture often fails to attain. The wall is of irregular stone work, the front cor ners having alternate blocks of faced, atone, techni cally called quoins. The octagonal portion of the spire is covered with slate. This little building will attra&t attention for its beauty, much of which is due to the choice of a malcrialsuited to the style in which it is built. 1 This.denomination does.not ’Usuallyicopform to the custom of dedicatingia,new .church. The. first services, do not differ essentially from those that follow. It may be well to state in this connection that they use the Psalms exclusively in, worship. The version used is not.Rouse’s,''but theßcottisbi “ allowed by the General Assembly of the Kirk of Scotland.”. "t ci . . The first prayer in yesterd'ay’s services, was,offer ed by the Rev-., Dr. John Brown, of New York. After singing a portion,of fiOth Psalm, Rev. J. Y. Boice, of Pittsburg,,followed in' prayer.’ He then read from Ist Kihgs, 9th ch.aptef,'and after the con gregation had sung a part .of the 145th Psalm, he announced his.text, which was Daniel, 2d chapter, 35th verse, last clause: “ And the stone that smote the image became a'gkeat mountain, and filled the earth.” _ • • , v , ...
