THE REFORMED CHURCHES.
City.—The Christian Instructor reports an encour
aging state' of things in the U. P. churches. The
Tenth church, in West Philadelphia, last winter
entered a new edifice. The congregation of the
North Broad street Mission church hope to occupy,
in a few weeks, the chapel which they are engaged
in erecting. The Seventh church, in Frankford, ° is
building a sanctuary which promises to be an orna
ment and a blessing to that part of the city. The
Ninth church have completed one of the most com
modious houses of worship in the denomination so
far as to allow of their occupying the lower story.
The congregation of the Eighth church have re
cently repaired and greatly improved their church
edifice. The Fifth church, last month, raised, at
one effort, $3,300 toward removing the debt that has
long hung heavily on their house of worship. There
are also pleasant tokens of spiritual blessings. At
the semi-annual 'communion season in the Second
church, a few weeks since, sixteen persons wereadd
ed to the. membership.- -The Eighth church, on the
18th ult.,. receiverPttv'efity-one: The Ninth church
on the same' day received twelve. Several other
churches of the,de.notaination have been similarly
blessed.—The Theological Seminary of the R. P.
Church commenced its annual session on Wednes
day, Nov. 4th, in Professor Steele's church' in this
city. ; Threene* - students appeared, and the com
ing of others Was announced. Dr..McLeod, Profes
sor of Doctrinal Theology, delivered a popular lec
ture on the questiOn—"What is it to be a Reformed
Presbyterian,?" The Trustees met in the evening,
and resolvedlo provide'for the expenses of all the
etuderits-that• might appear. The Officers for the
ir_resent year are James Stewart, President; S. 'B.
W.-.l4oLeod, M. D, Sectetary; , jas. Sample, Treas
urei. All these are of New. york.—ln .the recent
Synod of the German kefOrtned . Clitircli, a whole
day was taken up in hearing and'deciding an appeal
of the Consistory 'of, Christ Refortned . church'(l6th
and'Green streets), from's. decision of the Classis of
Philadelphia. It seems that the Classis which in
the main adheres 'to Dr. Bomberger, had sustained
a complaint of a minority of the congregation
against the Consistory, had ordered the COnsfatory
to . give them eertificates'df dismission, and had ap
pointed a Commission to organize a new congrega
tion. Synod declared all these proceedings void,
ordered them to be expunged from the minutes of
the CIEL623iS, forbade the , Classis to organize a new
church NY ithin six squares of Christ church, and di
rected its President to announce its decision from
the pulpit of the church. We learn from Dr. Bom
berger's .Reformed Church. Monthly that the new con
gregation ,had already been organized, Oct. 11th,
with about eighty members, under the name of
"The Heidelberg Reformed Church," and is wor
shipping at Broad and Spring Garden Streets, not
two squares from Christ church.
CartrOhea.--The New York Observer notes the
organization of thirteen Old School churches in one
week; a part of them in Kansas, Missouri. and
Tennessee.—The new Westminster church in Eliza
beth, N. J., unfinished, but for some months occu
pied, is considered the finest in New Jersey, and
when completed, will cost $160,000. The or
gan cost nearly sl.2,ooo.—Nineteen persons we e
added to the R. P. church, New York, (Rev. Dr.
McLeod's) October 25th, thirteen on profession,
making thirty-one (eighteen by profession) witbin
the last six months. Per contra, after fifty years of
labor this is the only church the R. P. General Sy
nod has in New York, and it has long been losing
ground:—Some months since the church, corner of
Fourth and Main streets, Cincinnati, resolved on
abolishing the "pew system." The working of. the
experiment has been so favorable that another 0. S.
church, the fifth, corner of Clark. and John, has
just inaugurated free seats. The voluntary subscrip•
tions have added to the finances of the church an
increase of over one-third.
Ministerial.—" Rev. Dr. John Hall, who was,
about a year ago, installed pastor of the Fifth Ave
nue church, N. Y., is attracting such large audiences
to hear him that the pews cannot hold the people,
and camp chairs are regularly placed in the aisles
for the accommodation of strangers. Among those
who went to bear him yesterday afternoon Was
Henry Ward Beecher."—The Evening Post.—Rev.
Dr. John Thom pSon has returned from-Europe with
greatly improved health, and •has resumed his la
bors jn his church--Thirty-fourth street, near Sixth
avenue.—Rev. Dr. Scott said in his pulpit recently,
that he would advise every young man at the out
set of his career : 1. To be a good Christian - 2. To
insure his life ; and 3. To get a good wife. Then he
will be happy. Beecherish I—ln the Second U. P.
Presbytery of New York, November 3d, Rev. J. A.
Devine, of the Presbytery of Crawfordsville, Ind.,
(0. S.) was received, having giVen full' satisfaction
as to his views on distinctive principles.—ln . the
Reformed [Dutch] Classis of Geneva, Rev. Gerit
J. Rensker was received from the Old School
Presbytery of Michigan, a call from the church
of Clymer was put into his hands, and ar
rangements made for his installation, which took
place Nov. 10,—Rev, Dr.-Guthrie at the farewell
banquet in Scotland to the Rev. Dr. MeCosh, said:
" If it pleases • Providence to spare me for a few
years, if he won't come and see me, I intend, on the
hurricane deck of a large ship, to go across, the At
lantic and see him. There is no country; in the
world, save our own, in which I feel such a lively
interest as in the United States of America; and
I expect to feel a deeper interest in her still, for,
unless something very extraordinary occurs, one of
my sons—my youngest son but one—will very soon
be settled in that country ; so I will have two rea
sons for crossing the Atlantic to see what is going
on in America."
Church - Courts'.--" We understand (says The
Occident of San Francisco) that the' Presbytery of
Benicia, which .recently met at Two Rocks, voted by
a large majority against union with the New School
l'resbyteriank on th - e - proposed ba;iis, ekpressing,
however, by resolution, its willing•-.ess to unite on
some more acceptable basis. The Presbytery of
Stockton Toted strongly in favor ' , of the basis of
union as submitted by the Assemblies:" The for
mer vote is the first indication received from the
Pacific coast of opposition to the Joint Comniitiee's
plan.—The Old School Presbytery of Blairsville,
has adopted a resolution that no young man who is
an adherent member of any secret college fraterni
ty, shallAkeseafter be taken under the care of the
Presbytery as a candidate for the ministry.—Lon
donderrry • PT, ,Presbytery, in, reluctantly
solving the pastoral relation heretofore existing be
tween Dr. Richardson and the church in Newbury
port, Mass., passed resolutions of disapproval of the
practice already too-common, by which one church
adopts measures to deprive &sister church of its pas
tor, without very cogent reasons. There are now
six vacancies in churches connected with this Pres
bytery, namely : Antrim, Bedford, Manchester and
Litchfield, in N. two rn Nesvburyport. All
these churches except that in Manchester are able
to give ample support to pagtota; and -ate desirous
to obtain them. Dr. Richardson comes to Trenton,

and that all acts performea by either party in their
divided state are null and void. A Committee was
appointed to secure a restoration of harmony. Poli
tical differences are at the root of the matter.
Newspapers Deceased.—The Presbyterian Wie
nen, the U. P. organ of Cincinnati, which had
reached the forty-fourth number of the sixteenth
volume, has been discontinued. It is merged in the
United Presbyterian, published at Pittsburg. It bad
the reputation of being the most ultra of the U. P.
papers, while The Christian Instructor of this city is
regarded as the most moderate.—The Cumberland
Presbyterian of Waynesburg Pa., is merged in The
Western Cumberland Presbyterian of Alton, 111.
Disraeli at Kirk An amusing incident occur
red in connection with the Premier's recent visit to
Balmoral in attendance on her Majesty, In The
Scotch Church the collection is still made with the
" ladle "—a system which is perhaps opposed to
voluntary contributions, and gives rather a practi
cal turn to benevolence. Mr. Disraeli, unaware of
this, and being wrapt in meditation on the connec
tion between Church and State, appeared to have
nothing wherewith to suppdrt the Establishment.
This being noticed'by one of the ladies of the Court
who sat next him, she very readily ofrered,bim a
coin. The great man now understood what was re
quired of him, and refusing the coin, began fumbling
in all his pockets for his purse, which he at last
found, and from it extracted a donation. By this
time, however, the ladle was on its way down the
seat again ; but with that ingeniousness for'which
Mr. Disraeli is remarkable he handed the money to
his neighbor, who, in return, banded it on, in the
hope of reaching the retreating money-box. Along
one, seat it went, up another, down: the next, but
without success; and the last holder, seeing the
hopelessness of the pursuit, returned it to him who
gave IL Back it came slowly along its way until it
readied the Premier, Who, up to this. time had
remained immovable and unconscious of its fate,
while all eyes of the congregation seemed watching
the scene. When it was hatided back to him he
looked at the coin for a moment, gave one of his
peculiar smiles, coolly put it back in his purse, and
pocketed the money.—Montrose Review.
Work in the South.—TheOld S.qhool Assembly
has Presbyteries in North Carolina, Georgia, Louisi
ana, Tennessee, and one or two other States of the
far South. The United Presbyterians have a
Presbytery in Tennessee. These bodies, it is
stated, are conducting missionary work among
the freedmen with great zeal. The :Weekly Re
public says of the U. P. mission in Vicksburg,
Miss: "The Normal and Graded 'School, on Cherry
street, was organized and is conducted under the
auspices of the Board of Freedmen's Missions of
the' United Presbyterian Church,' and under the
protection, and with the favor and aid, of the Freed
mp'sßureau. it is in no sense an incendiary or
sectarian institution, but designed to elevate and re
fine the Freedmen, by instructing them in the rudi
ments of an English education and the principles of
an evangelical Uhristianity. It is intended to quali
fy them for protecting themselves against imposi
tion in business transactions, and to prepare them
for being useful and good citizens. We, therefore,
cordially recommend it to the attention and patron
age of the freedmen."
Reunion Negotiations.—An adjourned meeting
of the Joint Committee of the R. P. and U. P.
Churches,on the subject of organic Union between
the two enominations, was held in the rooms of the
U. P. Board of Publication. on 3d ave., Pittsburg
on Wednesday, Nov. 4th. There were present Revs.
Drs. Pressly, Cooper, Easton, and Douglas, and J.
F. Morton. - 'These members not const,tutingli quo
rum, it was unanimously resolved that each Com
mittee present to its own Supreme Judicatory at its
next annual meeting, the result of the deliberations
of the Joint Committee at its previous sessions.
All present expressed themselves in favor of an or
ganic union of the two bodies.—The Presbyterian
Banner.

—Rev. Nelson Millard, recently of the Olivet Pres
byterian church, Chicago, has accepted the invita
tion ofthe.Richmond St. church, : Providencei R. 1.,
to labor as their 'acting pastor for six months from
Nov. 15th.—Rev. John M. Wolcott, for three years
pastor of the First Congregational church of Eliza
beth, N. J., was dismissed, Oct. 14th, to accept a
call to the Howe St. church, New Haven, Conn:—
Mr. Jenkins, one of the ministers at Mendon, Vt.,
lately accepted an invitation to a ball on condition
that he should he allowed to preach there ; and ac
cordingly about midnight the audience gave respect
ful atten.ion while he preached a sermon against
dancing.—Sunday, Nov. Ist, Rev. 11. W. Beecher
announced from the pulpit that his "official board"
had instructed him not to administer baptism to a
child unless both parents were Christians. He re
marked that inside his own church he would con
form to the order, but outside would baptize if but
one of the parents was professedly a Christian.—
Dr. J. W. Cracraft, D.D., late of the P. E. Church,
has been received to membership by the Miami
Conference, at its meeting in the church of' Storrs
township, 0., beginning October 27th. Dr. Cracraft
made a brief address expressing his approval of the
polity and spirit of the Congregationalist Church.—
At late meetings of Congregationalist bodies in Mi
chigan and Wisconsin, serious deliberations took
place on the question whether the time had not
come in these respective States for the churches to
take the responsibility of directing and stipporting
their own home missionary work, independent of
the Am. H. M. Society.—A church of fourteen mem
bers was organized at Chebouse, Iroquois county,
111., a promisinc , town orpthe Illinois Central Rail
,
roackOct. 28—A . churph of twenty-five members
waiorganized at Eureka, Ks., Oct. 25. Rev. M. SlCro
wel l is to supply here."—A Congregational church was
also organized at Bird Creek, Richland county, Wis.,
0ct.,25. Rev. D. Pinkerton preaches .here.—A. new
church ofseventeen members was organized at New
Haven, Mich., Oct. 20.—The Congregationalists be
fore the war only had a single church in the late
rebel Statqs, the one at Charleston. The "National
Conned 'of the Congregational.churches; held two
years ago, however, recommended the .Amerigan
Missionary Association 'as an organ through which
the denomination might reach the freedmen. This
association has since labored with great zeal for the
education of colored people. According to a recent
report in the monthly magazine of the association,
ten Congregational churches have been established,
and the first Southern association of Congregational
ministers has been formed.
Methodist. —The statistical returns from the va
rious Conferences of the M. E. Church in this coun
try show that the denomination numbers 1,233,545
members, besides 8,481 "circuit preachers" and the
bishops. The increase for the year is 95,410 mem
bers and 477 - preachers.. Of the entire membership
118,142 (mostly freedmen) are on the soil of 'the
former C. S. A., 136,193 are in the Border
States, and 26,415 are in the four German Confer
ences. The net increase in the South has been over
32 per cent., that in the Border States over 10
,per
cent.; while the growth in the North has not been
quite 44,per cent. The receipts of the
rrtry Society were in 1858, $158,924; in 18674 bey.
were $667,520.
Episcopalitut.:--The London Spectatorloomtnen
ing on the probable successor of the late Archbish
op of Canterbury, says : "We believe the Church
would be injured by the translation of either the
present Archbishop of York or the present Bishop
of Oxford to the vacant see. The former is an able
man and a shrewd ecclesiastical lawyer; but he
would make a Primate of the type that statesmen too
much love—the type which more than dilutes the
Church with the World.. The latter would do even
worse, make it an ecclesiastical intriguer's weapon,
The translation of the Archbishop of Dublin would
be, we fear, too much of a merecontinuation of both
the errors and graces of the late Primate's reign."
The late Archbishop was a devoted high church-
man, but was an earnest opponent of the ritualistic
movement.—The Liverpool papers state that "Rev.
Henry John Pye, rector of Clifton Campville, Staf
fordshire, and prebendary of Hansacre, in Lichfield
Cathedral, has, along with his wife, gone over to
the Roman Catholic Church. He married, into6l,
Emily Charlotte, the only daughter of. the Bishop
of Oxford, who has been plunged into great grief by
the step taken by his daughter and son-in-law. Dr.
Pye has held his appointment at Clifton since 1851,
and it is of the yearly value of £9so."—Rev. Dr.
`Schwartz states that there are 100 Jews who are
clergymen of the Church of Rngland, and 50 who
are Nonconformist ministers, and' not one of the
150 is a Ritualist or a Rationalist—the ordeal
through which they passed in becoming Christians
being an effectual antidote to .both Ritualisui, and
Rationalism.—Rev. S. Menton, a very prominent
clergyman of the Church of England, has created
a sensation by announcing his belief that the doc
trine of eternal punishment' is 'unscriptural, and
that the wicked are annihilated.—Flake's Galveston
(Texas) Bulletin says that the Rev. J. N. Rogers, of
Memphis, Tenn has been reprimanded by
Bishop Quintard for ritualistic practices, " some
years since sent a Circular all over the South, beg
ging for money to build'a magnificent church to the
memory of the Confedarate.dead. The scheme fell
through after considerable sums had been collected,
because, as_it appeared;t be reverend gentleman; was
more fond of making a comfortable nest for theliv
ing, than of building amonument to the dead."—
The General Convention authorized the establish
ment of four new dioceses, thrtned by the diviaion
of old ones. Three of these are in New Xork, and
one in Maryland. During- the session, the subject
of prohibiting the marriage of divorced people be
ing under discussion in the House of Bishorw,
Bishop Clark stated that in Rhode Island divorces
were obtained for such. slight causes as to imperil
the morale of the whole community, and stated that
men actually sold theb , wives, mentioning an in
stance of a man selling his wife .for ten thousand
dollars. "Are such transactions common in your
diocese ?',inquired a brother bishop. "Not at that
price," prom ptli responded Biahop , Clark.—Bishop
Clark recently violated the canon under.' which
Rev. Mr. Hubbard of his diocese was tried, by in
viting a Moravian Bishop to sit with him in the
chancel and take part in conducting the service
which he did. This was in Elizabeth, N. J.—The
Providence Herald of Nov. 3d, says: "The jury of
Presbyters were to have given their judgement in
the Hubbard case yesterday, but we understand
that some further consultation is necessary, and
that the verdict will not be rendered for, several
days yet.. It is supposed-that there are some differ
ences of opinion among the members of the ecele
siastical Court upon some of the points involved."
=Bei , . Mason Gallagher rector-in Patterson, N. - J.,
during the Convention of -Y. , M. C. Associations' at
Detroit, occupied the pulpit of Dr. Duffield's church
the Sabbath subsequent to the sudden death of ale
latter, and for this offense he has been taken to
task by the five Episcopal clergymen of Detroit and
charged with discourtesy in venturing to preach
"within the bounds of their joint parochial juris
diction ":;without their leave.' In Ins reply he re-
Minds them of their own chnaltat:in.refuding to're
cognize in any way the Christian Convention, and
says that it was at the personal invitation of the
bereaved family that he performed in that pulpit,
the office of a Christian minister.
