In a report of the meeting of the U. T.
Presbytery of Oregon we see it said:
"Rev. Spalding, of the N. S. Presbyterian
Church, and a missionary Who crossed the plains
to this country in 1836, was invited to sit with
us as a corresponding member. Presbytery were
entertained by Rev. Spalding, with an account of
his early missionary work among the Nez Per
cez Indians.' Rev. Spalding, with his companion
Dr. Whitman, labored with great success among
the Indiana for eleven years, teaching many of
them the arts of civilized industry, Some know
ledge of the art of reading, having translated
and printed portions of the Scriptures in the Nez
Percez language. In the year 1847 Dr. Whit
man was murdered by the Indians, and Mr.
Spalding fled for his life to the Willamette Val
ley. The Indians were excited to this horrid
deed, as Mr. Spalding believes, by the jesuitical
emissaries of Rowe. On Saturday Presbytery
heard a sermon from Rev. Spalding, on the truth
of the Scriptures as evinced from fulfilled pro
phecy." Mr. S.'s name does not appear in our
minutes.

TO REV. J 4 WHHATON SMITH, D.D.
DEAN, CHRISTIAN BROTHER :—lt was with
great interest that I listened to your truly evan
gelical discourse last Sabbath morning, on the
'• Constraining love of Christ." I could not but
be edified, and feel that I had a new incentive to
labor in His cause. But alas, after being told
that I felt the Saviour loved me; I need not
doubt my love to Him, and might lay my head
upon His bosom in child-like confidence, with
what &dings of sadness was I compelled, (loving
and trusting in that Saviour,) to turn my back
upon that table, spread with the emblems of His
dying love, over which you had been staring these
great truths; because not of those .whom you
invited to that feast as being " buried with Christ
in baptism," (according to your acceptation of
the term.) I cannot describe the feeling of de
pression that followed me from that pew, to my
home; the sweet influences of the discourse dis
sipated ; absorbed in the fact, that although re
joicing in the same: hope as yourself and your
communicants, I war<r • debarred the •privilege of
celebrating with you,fthe dying love of Him
whom you and I have so long acknowledged as
our Saviour from sin and death.
My brother! these things ought not BO to be.
In our own Church, you would have, been cor
dially invited to what we. consider the "Lord's
Table." None to be excluded who love him in
sincerity, and •'are members in good and regular
standing in sister churches." •
My worship with you has -been , frequent and
pleasant. This is the only cloud, but a heavy one.
There may be consistency as regards • your,
church government, but come
,the day speedily
when there shall be such a,true union of feeling,
that Christians of all denominations may be per
mitted to celebrate' •together the love of their
crucified Lord. A I'IIESAYTERIAII.

maintenance and more general diffusion of the
principles which they hold in common; and Whereas,
hel respective testimonies of these Churches are
substantially the same, if not identical • and Whereas,
The testimony of the United Presbyterian Church
was framed with reference to the faith held in com

ing former negotiations which resulted in a union
between the Associate and Associate Reformed
Churches, the Reformed Presbyterian Church was
represented, when it was unanimously agreed in
conVltion, that in the event of a union the united
body shall be known by the name of the United
Presbyterian Church; and Whereas, This name con
tains nothing peculiar to either of these Churches;
therefore, Resolved, (1.) That these Churches agree
to form an organic union on the basis of the prin

the other subordinate standards which they bold. in
common. Resolved, (2.) That these Churches when
united shall be called the United Presbyterian
Church, consisting of the Reformed Presbyterian
Church and the United Presbyterian 'Churches, and
that the Supreme Judicatory of the United Church
shall be called the " General Assembly of the
United Presbyterian Church of North America;"

different Boards and Jinstitutions of the respective
Churches shall not be affected by this union, but
shall have the control of their funds, and retain all
their corporate or other rightsand privileges until
the interests of the Church shall require a change.

THE, LATE JAMES B. TiODGEB,g.
It is not often 'that a man's death excites so much -
regret and in so many quarters as has that of Mr.'
Rodgers. Very few'men'pass from this world with.
out their death being felt as a 16ss'in some quarter.
His .death haa,been,Selt as a lossin many.spheres,
and from many quarters cone the expressions of
profound sorrow.
Born in New York in 1824, of - old Knicker- . .
bocker stock, -(we believe,) he came to this city.
quite a young Man, and at once took his place as a
working member in Dr. S. R. Wylie's congregation.
His activity,and,energy marked him out as the
fit
ting man to take charge of . one of- the mission!
schools of the church, and under his care itwas an'
eminent success. In the same congregation he
found the lady who became his estimable and now
bereaved wife. In it his four children have been,
and we trustlona b will be,trained up to do honor to
to the name which he has transmitted in :nothing
but honor to them. In all the work of-the church
he was behind none, faithful in 'attendance on the
ordinances, open-handed-to every good cause, loving.
the brethren in all sincerity, serving the Lord.
blameless: In the recent-trOubles4rthe dongrega..,
tion he was mainly distinguished for the broad.
charity and kindness with which
.he,sought rather
to, cover the offences of misgmideA ' b rethren and
apologize fOr their weakness, than tO L dWill upon or
, magnify their wrong doings. "Suelifa , tnati muse be
it great loss to his esteemed' pastor and the church;
which gathered last Sabbath with, a sense of their
loss struggling with the assurance:that it had been.
his everlasting, , rain.
Mr. Rodgere,was not the .manto confine his ac
tivities.to the good works po43ible Within the limits
Of a congregation.'' He was one-of the little band
who, after the revival of 1857, seeing that half of
the working-force of the Church perishing through
a frigid respectability that was.conduing her work
to the bounds of the, houses of worshiptentlea
vored to obey tke Master's cornmand•to,go into ; the
highways and hedges. IlOw that little conapany,
clw,tered around the Y. M. C. A, were moCked at
and abused Mir readers 'mayieincritber. Nick
names were affixed to theni,'soine of "whiel have
'been lived down and forgotten, some have come to
.be titles of honor.. But their work remains, and
.our churches are awakened since the date-of .their
efforts to an extent never before known. Mr. Rod
gers took especial share in the wtirk of preaching
the Gospel to the "firemen, and in the 'NOrthern
'Liberties Hose . HOuSe he, labored long' and' utr-
Weariedly for the good of souls.
•The war took away - the reproach of most of. that.
company or Christian workers, and especially that;
of its foremost man, in opening a wider
.field and
one. of andeniable usefulness in the Christian,OMn
mission. iliti,,Aodgers, however, wasMpossible,
in a more aCtiVe field of patriotic . He' en
tered the army, taking 'a position Which 'enabled'
him to employ his bitsines'abilities in the service of
his country. He: served , her faithfully, "_enduring.
hardship as a good soldier," and perhaps undergo
ing exposure which shortened hia useful life.
Mr. Rodgers was just the, man, to "Make his
mark " in any walk *of life that he might . choose.
On his return from the army, he added to his former
business that of the printer, buying out find suc
ceeding Mr. Win. S. Young. The' establishment
has grown as by magic under his eyes, not less in
its prestige and excellence of workmanship, than in
its size: He,had gathered around him, the, greater
part of the.religious publications of t.lte city. Four
Church Board's, and some eighteen or' twenty
periodicals—froM the illustrated . child's paper up
to the ponderous Quarterly,—representing in all
some eight or ten denominations, in two languages,
and under the control of white and colored men,—
were in daily use of his presses. His hearty good lu
mor, his obliging kindness, his unwearied care for
the interests of his business connections, the rea
sonableness of his views:of compensation, all tended
to draw such enterprises to him and keep them
there. But it was his own earnest desire that his
establishment should become a head quarters for
religious literature, and nothing that could be done
to make such business relations easy was left by
him undone.
He showed, too, by his unvarying kindness and
care that he felt a personal interest tn,every one'of
his numerous employees, who have to mourn in his
death, the 'loss of a sincere friend.
We have spoken of James B. Rodgers'the church
man, the Catholic Christian, the patriot, and the
man ,of business. Of the husband, the father, and
the brother we need only say, that in all these re
lations he was worthy the name of a Christian.
Those who followed his remains to their 'resting
place a: week since needed no 'assurances that .his
lose' was most deeply 'felt and mourned' by those
Who had known lint most' intimately. lia,Y.the
