TAKE REFORMED CIIERCHES.
City.—The Rev. Matthew Newkirk, of Downing
town, Pennsylvania, has received a emanimous'e,all
to the North Tenth street Presbyterian church, late
Dr. Musgrave's.— The Presbyterian sayar"Last week
we referred to an assertion which had been made in
The Evangelical Repository, that a multitude of drink
ing-house keepers in Philadelphia and region of
country are in full membership in our Church, and
in other denominations. We were not acquainted
with any facts which would justify such a charge;
but as the editors of the Repository seemed to base
it on their knowledge, we embraced the opportunity
that it afforded to emphasize the position - in which
our Church stands towards the traffic in liquoir. A
good number of our pastors have spoken to us on
the subject singethe publication of our article.
They each and all declare that they have' no' sueli
men on their communion rolls, nor do they know
any Session that:will receive them."
Ministerial.—Rev. T. H. Skinner was recently
installed pastor of the First church of Fort Wayne,
Ind., by a Committee of the Presbytery of Fort
Wayne.—Rev. James M. Ludlow, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church, Albany, N. Y., has ac
cepted a call to the Collegiate Reformed [Dutch]
church, New York.—Rev. David Monfort, the
youngest brother of the Editor of The Presbyter, died
near Kilbourn City, Wis., on the 14thof Nov., in the
47th year of his age.—The Meadville Republican
says: " We learn that the Rev. Dr. Marks haft ac
cepted a call from the First Presbyterian church at
Brookville, Pa., to take the pastoral charge of that
congregation. Dr. M.arks and family.liave many
friends here who will seribusly reirit'their depar
ture. The people of Brookville are fortunate in se
curing his services. He is an able preacher and a
high-toned Christian gentleman."—Rev. G. L.
Shearer has been appointed Assistant Secretary in
the Financial Department of the American Tract
Society. His address is, 150 • Nassau street, New
York.—The Second [Declaration and Testimony]
church, Louisville, has elected Rev. W. 0. Barnes,
of Stamford, Ky., to be co-pastor with Rev. Stuart
Robinson. The Second church has pow two mis
sion chapels' nd mission ichoOls fully established.
Two others are contemplated.
Churches.—Pequa church, Pa., (Presbytery of
Donegal), recently enjoyed a precious season of re
freshing. A correspondent of The Presbyterian says
"The pastor has had the pleasure of pointing' at
least fifty troubled 'and inquiring souls to the Lamb
of God. About one-thiid of.the inquirers beloPg to
our Sabbth-schools—some teacher's, some scholars."
—The Missouri Declaration and Testimony Synod's
Committee of Missions have been officially, inform
ed that the church at Ashley,Mo.,finding that neu
trality could no longer be a bond of union, has for
mally declared itself to be in connection with that
Synod. This action is concurred 'in by the whole
Church, save two deacons and a few members, who
adhere to the General Assembly.
A Reason for Trouble.—Dr. Brown of St. Paul,
Minn., who voted for the ipso-factoing resolutionsat
St. Louis in 1866, writes a curious letter to The
North Western Presbyterian. It was on. his Petition
that the Assembly engaged in prayer for the bless
ing of God to attend that action, but he now asserts
that the Assembly's orders in '65 and '66 'ar'e 'the
great cause of the embarrassnients of the. Board of
Domestic Missions, especially, as these " penal or
dinances, sufficiently harsh in themselves, were
made doubly offensive by the'spirittimwhich itiwas
attempted to enforce them," and that not a few are
k,„&„„,;„ 6 e„ 4h e t t,l;. orsoArt .bo have taken
charge of our etclesiastical affairs for the lest 'few
years, are not altogether the carom,

Scotch Missions in Muniary.—About thirty
years ago, the Free Church became greatly inter
ested in the Christianization of the~ Jews; and• a
deputation of four divines, headed by'Dr. Keith,
was sent to the East to explore the condition of the
" dispersed of Israel," and fix, upon the-most suita
ble stations for missions. They did not intend to
visit the. Austrian dominions, not supposing it pos
sible for any Protestant mission to obtain the
slightest toleration. Some unexpected circumstance,
however, caused them to return by way of the Dan
ube; and at Pesti' Dr. Keith was taken ill and -de
tained fora long time. This came to the knowledge
of the Archduchess Maria Dorothea, a Wurtem
berg princess, and wife of the , Archduke Joseph,
then governor of Hungary. This lady;"ortinally
bred in French infidelity, had : been led by affliction
to rest in the Gospel. She not Only hastened to min
ter to the wants of the Siek 01610ft:fin, but entered
warmly into the object of -hisrmission,, and-promis
ed to' do all lit her power inr the`protection of a
Protestant mission to the Jews, should one be un
dertaken in Hungary. Dr. Keith, during his pro
tracted convalescence,learned so much as to the
hopeful state of the 'ews, that on returning home
he enlisted the Church in fa.vorof a mission, if any
door could be opened. The Archdutchess was writ
ten to, and promised to lay the matter before her
husband-the first favorable opportunity: At this
moment there occurred ri violent outbreak among
the Romanist peasantry of Poland,, With [rightful
deeds of massacre; and the Archduke was compell
ed to see that nothing could give perina ' nent peace
tb those 'people unless the Bible could be circulated
and taught. He was therefore quite ready to ap
prove the Scotch enterprise. And when his wile
made her application, he answered at once that
they should eend , oute their men with as little noise
as possible, and if molested, should offer no resis
tance, but make application to him, and he would
do all that, with his limited poweis, was practicable
for their protectiOn. It would not answer to have it
known at Vienna that he was aiding in the ciroula
don of the-Seriptures. On this hint, the mission
aries Went forward, spreading the Bible in all direc•
tions, among, both Jews and Christians, thus dis
posing of many thousand Copies, acoompanied by a
diligent personal teaching, the fruits, of which are
now abundantly visible in the coudition of, the
people 'of Ithirgary in many forms. In 1847, the
Archduke was called to his rest, but not until he
had experienced in his own soul the rest and peace
which are giVen to all true believers.

Every year increases the popu

aration, which is due to merit
alone. We can, assure our old
patrons that it is kept fully up to
its high standard, and to those
who have, never used it we can
confidently say. that it is the only
reliable and perfected prepara
tion to restore' GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to its youthful color, mak
inglt soft, lustrous, and silken;
the scalp, by its use, becomes
white and clean; it removes all
eruptions and dandruff, and by
its tonic properties prevents the
hair from falling out, as it stim
ulates and nourishes the hair
glands. By its use the hair groWs
thicker and stronger. In baldness
it restores the capillary glands
to their normal vigor, and will
create' a new growth except in
extreme old age.: It is the,most
economical HAIR DRESSPrq
ever used, as it requires fewer
appliontions, and gives the hair
that splendid glossy appearance
