SUMMARY. Buffalo Presbytery approves of the Joint Comthit tee's Basis, and authorizes the Assembly to consum mate Union on the Standards. North Broad SL Church installed 2 elders, Dec 11th. One ordination; one 0. S..minister , received, and one Congregational minister understood to accept a call to one of our Churches Denver,y also one death—Rev. Alex. Lemon, at Ripon, Wis., Nov. 15th,— are announced. A death in the 0. S. ministry is an nounced, that of Rev. Jos. Smith, D.D., of Greensburg, Pa., author of'" Old Redstone," A. minister of the 0. S., Rev. Jas. M. Ludlow, of Albany, has gone into the Ref. (Dutch) Church, N. Y. City. Mr. C. H. McCormick, the reaper manufacturer of Chicago, is very . sore at what he regards as a misdi rection by the O. 13: General Assembly of the funds which he gave for a Theological Seminary at Chicago, to be under " Conservative" influence. Pretty decided sympathisers with the preient state of things in the country, having been appointed Professors, in place of such' .nieti as Dr. Rice,• Mr. McCormick :now sug gests that the money hecontributed, with• far other intentions, be refunded. Persons who repudiate Mr. McC.'s principles, may feel that his plea is founded in justice.: The Seminary has thirty-four students. Alle gheny Seminary has 65. The Presbytery of Muhlenburg (Decl. and Test.,) go to theSolith-by a unanimous vote. The Reformed. Church of Spain has for a considera ble time been organised, and had, at the outbreak of the rebellion, 3,000 members. The 0..8: Church has gathered nearly 5,000 men bers among the Fraeilmen.' The Ritualists in England are offering prayers for the dead. Trinity P. E. church, of New York, is unlocking come of its vast wealth in chapel building and in every kind of. mission work in that city. A Ritualist rector in Memphis, whose church is that of "the Blessed Virgin," in a recent fit of consistency went over to Biome. President Blanchard, a "red hot" Congregation alist of Illinois, impeaches the Wostern College So ciety of a purpose to build up Presbyterianism—a dreadful monster—in the West. Yet even he admits that we have the advantage of not being Beecherized or Tilton i zed. On a recent Sabbath, the M. E. churches of this city took up a collection of $4,489 for Church Ex- tension The Baptists have a Church Extension Society - for this city, which has resolved to build a church every, year. They are understood to contemplate beginning on South Broad St. Hamilton College has 171 students. Rev. C. R. Burdeok, late of Youngstown, N. Y., has been invited to Marquette, Mich. Provost &Me says not four hundred of the young men of this city are pursuing a collegiate course any where; and considers it a proof of the low state of liberal studies in Philadelphia. Re puts our popula tion at 800,000, which could give one college student I o every 2,000, which, it strikes us is about the average for the whole country. But we have no business to be content with the average. —The fearfully fatal steamboat disaster on the Ohio River, at Warsaw, Ind., has deprived the Low Church party in the Episcopal Church of two of its ablest men. The elder of the two, Rev. Robt. J. Parvin of this city, was widely known through his labors in the service . of . the U. S. Christian Commission, and latterly m Sec retary of the Evangelical Education Society, but 'has been rector of churches in Towanda, Pa., Rochester and Le Roy, N. Y. and Cheltenham, Pa., a suburb of our city. In this last place he was pastor and friend of Jay Cooke, Esq., who secured him the position in the Education Society in whose service he lost his life. In 1885 he was nominated for the Missionary Episcopate, by the House of Bishops, but was objected to by the Lower House as too independent and out-spoken for the dominant party. He was not seen by any survivor during the collision and conflagra gration. He died in his fortieth year, leaving a wife and four children. Rev. Franklin S. Rising, Secretary of the American Church Mission Society was in his thirtieth year. He had been a rector in Nevada before accepting his last position, and was the respected author of a fearless and outspoken pamphlet which has caused great discussion in the P. E. Church,—" Are there Romanizing Germs in the Prayer-Boak." Rev. Dr. Cooper of this city and Dr. Noah E. Schenck of Brooklyn had intended to join Messrs. Parvin and Rising in this ill-fated trip, but by the good providence of God were unex pectedly prevented. —Our cheeks burn as we read the account of the noble' work achieved by our brethren of the other branch among the Freedmen, and con trast it With our own inaction a's aehurch. Look at the results of their three years work : $77,000 collected, and $122,887 expended (the difference being proonred from other boards of the Church and from the Government), 23 churches organ. ized, with 4,603 communicants; 23 houses of worship 'built or purchased in the year 1868, THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1868. and 2,869 pupils in schools. In 1865 we passed some brave resolutions, and had two colored men in our Assembly. In that year the other branch went to work, and have something to show for it. We have taken three mortal years to get ready, and the world moves so fast, oh ! so fast, in these times. A nation is born in a day. And the New School Church is not accused of being a particularly lingering institution. But we can never dare to lift up our faces before the world, if we falter now, when the field is opening clear ly before us, and with Grant and Howard, under Christ, to lead us. Dr. Norman kt‘Leod is to be moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scot land next summer, while Rev. Sir Henry Wells wood Moncrieft; of Edinburgh is to preside in the Free Church Assembly, of which he has long. been Stated Clerk. —The Siistentation Fund, of the Free Church of Scotland has received for the six months ending,November 15th, X 55,896 in gold; equal to V 60,856 in our money, a net increase of $6,767.08. The ComuLttee have been able to add £lO to 220 salaries andfXs to 240 salaries of £l5O each, and are.now aiming at a minimum of R,200. . • —ln our report of the - .National Christian Convention we overlooked the aunouncement, made by Dr. .111.'Cosit, that the World's EVan gelieal-Alliance will hold' its next session in the city of New York, and thai Lord Shaftesbury promises to be present. The January Number of " Hours at Horne" is almady announced invour advertising columns. We take pleasure in recommending this exCellent and steadily improving 'magazine to the regards of our 'readers. It is the only one of our, higher-class monthlies which is con-, ducted with sincere respect to the principles of _Evangelical religion, without professing to, be a religious periodical: Its , recently added literary features commend it to the regard of students and men of letters, while the larger parts of contents will greatly interest our educated fami lies. —Mr. Barnes is not unnaturally much solem nized, on arriving at the generally conceded lim it of active human life. The "chances," using the word for convenience, are certainly against his living many years longer. The vision of a green old age stretching along a half a generation further, is but, perhaps, a vision, and certainly should not be confidently cherished. And yet, it is far from impessible. Such things have oc curred in the higher walks of life quite often enough to warrant the hope that they may occur again. With the exception of the eyes, Mr. Barnes' general health ie very good, much better than it was some fifteen years ago. His consti tution is naturally one of uncommon vigor.. Some of England's most famous statesmen, judges, and warriors have been in active and highly uiefill service when long past Mr. Barnes' present age. And no one could have .told, except from its marks of maturity. ; and,. high wisdom, that their work was not done by men, half a century young er than themselves. Mr. Barnes has done great service for the Church and the world. What if God has opportunities of even greater in store for him in the future ? •--The business of. guiding inquirers can, of course, be done best by those of the deepest ex perience_ and greatest practical wisdom. But there is not any one who has truly fled to the Sa viour,.who is :.too ignorant to be of service in guiding others to the same refuge. After all, it is a simple thing which every one must do to be saved. The psychological labyrinth throug,h which the convicted soul often - goes, is the result of a refusal to do that simple thing. Do l , There is nothing to do but to renounce all doing and trust in the doing of Another; to forego self and submit to God; to separate from the world and come out upon the Lord's side. The humblest Christian can counsel, can urge and pray with and for sinners, that they may be led to these simple acts. —We had supposed we could never more be surprised by anything Andrew Johnson chose to do. But his late message to Congress shows that there were depths of fatuity and wickedness in his nature, of which we knew. nothing.. That on the heels of the election of General . Grant and a strongly republican Congress, he should coolly advise a withdrawal of all the redonstruc tion legislation of the past, was an insolent and wanton summons to the spirit of the age to go backward, after she had just secured her triumphs. But worse even than that, was his cool, downright proposal of repudiation of the national debt, under the plea, that with the five or six years of gold .interest now paid, the lend ers have already received back the full value of their loan ! What if they have ? They made the loan at a time when no one knew whether they would ever receive a penny for their invest ment; and it is a new code of business moral ity which teaches the debtor to repudiate, be cause the creditor's ventive has proved -sucoess ful. Mr. Johnson says : \ • "The lessons of the past admonish the - lender that it is not well to be over-anxk)as,.ln .exacting from the borroner rigid compliance•with the letter of the bond." This open advice from the highest seat of au thority in the land, to relax the principles of commercial morality, and to introduce' uncer tainty into the most extensive of all business transactions, by substituting might for right, must be called by its true name if the nation is not to share in the guilt of it—and that name is villainy. We pray God that we may now have seen the last of Presidents who will disgrace a Christian nation, by proposing and defending the violation of the eighth commandment. A BUDGET OF BLUNDESS.—Through The Evangelist's confounding the Presbytery of Che nango with,the Presbytery of Chemung, our 0. S. exchanges are reporting eight N. S. Presbyte ries as voting for "Reunion on the Standards alone," whereas only seven have dope so. The Independent referring to our, recent item against wom i an's rights theories,.and to Mr. No ble's Thankigiving Sermon in which he advoeat women suffrage, says: "He, (Mr. Noble,) shocks the.rnediroval p-rejudi ces of some of his elder Presbytenian brethren, one of whom hits him a side•.thrust in -the last Am. Presbyterian, not venturing to attack him by name."

REVIVALS... A Singu . lar Revival - moven:lent has 'appeared in' Galt, a town in Upper 'Canada, west of Lake Ontario, on the Grand Reviver,—the main fea ture of which is the meeting of large numbers of the people to read their Bibles, and to con verse with one another as to the meaning of the passages read. alt commenced with street preaching by two. laymen, recently arrived from Scotland. Soon the Methodist church was opened for, services, and finally, the Free Church, the largest building in the:place, was allowed' to be used. "We would there find" says a private letter, "a great assemblage; and after:singing of a psalm, prayer and reading a portion of Scripture you would think you were in. alttieet ing of Quakers, so silent are they all ; thinking, speaking to their neighbors ,in the adjoining seats in an undertone, as ! to what saith that, portion of the Scripture that hath been read, what was its application to their state, and from the explanations thus received 'assisting their own judgment." The Free church is, or a few days ago was, too small to accommodate the crowd, which assembles, we believe, on week days. The presence of two converted jews, and their ex perience in conversion as based exclusively upon the Scriptures, are adding' to the excitement. We may shortly be able in speak more fully of the work. —There is a very hopeful degree of interest in one of the newly formed churches of Wilming ton, Del., which is shared in by the Sabbath school. We trust that the devotion and earnest ness of , those , laboring — in it may be largely rewarded. —ln the Presbyterian Church in Milford, Del., Rev. Richard Mallery pastor, there has, for some time, been a delightful, spiritual refreshing. A large number. of instances of awakening have occurred, and here too the Sabbath-school is sharing in the interest. • FROM OUR ROCHESTER CORRESPONDENT. BRICK WITHOUT., STRAW HOW "9-eneseo" is to gather items from the ends of the earth, whilst confined to a sick room? How catch the last lights and shadows of this living movingyanorama.of Western New York, whilst his pantramd is sixteen by twenty feet, is the question—happily--for the first time in five years. We have been waiting for the birds , of the air to bring us something, but the birds are not flying now. We have invoked the good angels —as far as we thOught best; but finally have had to depend on Uncle Sam's big wagons, together with such help- as we have received from the sympathizing visits of personal friends. ' - We have learned that there is much snow wit,b out. How we should like to'atread it underfoot," but suppose we must wait a few days longer before we shall be permitted to do it. We hear that a Bishop is wanted for Central New York, •.Dr. Littlejohn having accepted a betterlierth, to remain in Brooklyn. How:we should-like to recommend a man for them.' 'Sur,ely "Eaton" is every way convetent - to fill-the posi tion. - Already "Bishop of Rome," whatonore could be desired?- Born to command, fully, ac quainted with ecclesinglinal affairs, and particularly familiar with the affairs of the Episcopal qhurch; as he showed himself in a recent controversy with a Ractor of that Church, why is he not just the man,to stand shotilder . to shoulder with the best of them in that elation?. We charge nothing:fOr the suggestion.. - - - - .The Catahirmic"of College is at hand, neatly printed as usual, at the Press of the Utica Herald. The number of students in attendance is, Seniors 48, Juniors 46, Sophomores 34, Fresh men 43—total 171. It will be seen that the stu dents are quite squally distributed through the classes, which is a great advantage in many res pects. Studies are now, however, at an end for the present, the winter vacation of four weeks having commenced on the Bth, and to end January 7th. PERSONAL Rev. Dr. Shaw of this city has been called to a sore affliction, in the death of a son-in law, Mr. John H. West, a recent graduate of Rochester University., Mr—West has been for a year fail in.'e in health, and fled some time since to Min nesota, to try the bracing, healing air of that cooler climate; but all . in vain: For two months pait it has been manifest that neither medicines nor climate were going to make the consumptive well again, and the friends have been waiting alniogt daily for the sad intelligence, which 'came, like the lightnings themselves, through sleet and storm on Saturday. The remains have been sent here for burial, and Dr. Shaw started at once for St. Paul to bring home .his widowed daughter, (herself quite an in validkand her infant Child. About two years ago that daughter left the paternal home with quite other plans'and hopes for the future. Last Sabbath also Dr. Shaw was to have preached his !twenty-eighth anniversary sermon; but instead of that hi was summoned so suddenly away on his sad errand. "Man proposes; Gocliiisposes." Prof. Upson of Hamilton College spends each winter vacation, (one month) in lecturing.

IN TitANSITII Rev. C. R. Burdick, of Youngstown, has re ceived an invitation to Marquette, Mich., to supply the Presbyterian Church for the present, with a view to permanent settlement—a fine opening for an earnest worker. The town, now contains four or five thousand inhabitants and is, growing rapidly. Two hundred new houses were erected last year, with an increase of near a thousand in the population. The church is in good working order; has just completed a new house of worship,costing $20,000, built of brick, gothic in style, with stained, windows, with Sab bath-schoal rooms, church-parlor and pastor's study..

New York.— Tie Burchard Literary Association of the Thirteenth St. church has now for a number of years demonstrated in a very happy way that a church may provide needful literary instruction and recreation for its young people, without any diminu tion of its paramount influence as a religious or ganization. No church in the city has year by year a batter record of new members, and no one has succeeded better in keeping its young people "at home." The Association has a course of lec tures every winter, not of the sensational sort, but yet by no means of the dell kind.—Th.c Evangelist.
