Cyrus Ryington, one of the most earnest and self-sacrificing ministers of the Tresbyterian Church, died at the residence of his son-in-law, Belpre, Ohio, on the 31st ult., aged 76. He spent forty years of his life as a missionary to the Choctaws, where the labors of himself and his coadjutors were greatly blessed. Neat cabins were erected, the children were gathered into echools, churches were established, the ground wae cultivat ed, and all the appliances of Christian civilization were introduced. Mr. Byington wae a member of the General Assembly of 1860, which met in Ro chester, N. Y. After the establishment of the South ern Presbyterian Church he attached himself to it. For several years he lias been in the North super intending the tr&Delation of portions of the Scrip tures into the Choctaw language, and their publica tion by the American Bible Society.—Rev. J. G. Archer, pastor of the church in Clearfield, Pa., was hilled recently through a sleeping-car being preci pitated sixty feet down a bank on the Pan-Handle Railroad. —Rev. S. F. Wilson, D.D., of Rock Island, has received a unanimous call from the church of Galesburg, 111.—Rev. Henry M. McCracken has ac cepted a call from the First church of Toledo, Ohio, to serve it as stated supply for twelve months at a salary of $1,200. —Rev. L. J. Halsey, D.D., has en gaged to supply the church at Frankford, Ky., for two months, and has reserved his final answer to its call,—Rev. A. L, Lindsley, D.D., has been dis missed by the Presbytery of Connecticut to accept a call from the church in Portland, Oregon.—Rev. James Sloan, D.D., of Waynesburg, Pa., has been compelled to cease from all active exertions, be cause of disease of the heart.—Rev. Loyal Young Graham, pastor of Rehoboth, Pa., church, has re ceived a unanimous call to the church of McKees port, Pa., with a salary of $1800; and also to the church of Big Spring, in Newcastle, Pa., with a salary ofslBoo and a parsonage.—TheFirstchurch of Richmond, Virginia, whose pulpit was vacated by the removal of the Rev. Dr. Moore to Nashville, has extended a call to the Rev. Thomas L. Preston, of Virginia. Churches. —In St. Louis Rev. Dr. Brooks' church have been trying, during 1868, the scriptural plan of contributing upon the first day of the week “ac cording as God had prospered” each member. $B,OOO have been thus given, mostly in small week ly installments. This sum is over and above .the amount paid for the pews, which continue to be rented, though it is announced that the seats are soon to be made free to all.—The 0. S. Board of Domestic Missions has established a Mission in the Territory of Arizona. The Rev. Mr. Skinner, for merly ot California, has been appointed missionary, and has gone to his distant field.— The Western Christian, Advocate says: “ The new Presbyterian church, Mt. Auburn, is just completed at an ex pense of $30,000, with not a dollar of indebtedness on it. The membership of near one hundred is composed of Old and New School Presbyterians and Congregationalists. The sittings are free. The au dience and Bunday-s.chool rooms are very fine. In point of talent, piety, energy, and culture the so ciety is equal to the very best in the city or vicin ity.” Reformed Churches in Mew York.— -The an nual report of the City Missions shows that Old School Presbyterians nave twenty-four churches, and half as many missions, one for every two churches. One church is “colored,” and one Ger man. If the New School falls a little below tbie number, with its twenty-one churches, it almost re stores the balance by its fourteen missions. There are three other “branches” of the same family, in cluding fourteen churches nearly equally divided be tween United Presbyterians and Reformed Presby terians. The Reformed [Dutch] churches are eigh teen in number, with seven missions. Of the churches three are German. The Protestant-Epis copal Church has ninety-five churches, “ chapels," and missions. It is not always easy to distinguish among them —the churches having “ rectors,” chapels and some few missions having “ministers.” The designations are never local, but from saints, festivals, or sacred terms, such as “ Atonement,” “Resurrection,” and “Transfiguration." Numeri cally, therefore, the Protestant Episcopal Church has the lead in New York in organizations. This arises from its being a unit in name. The Presby terians, however, who are under separate names though more a unit in doctrine than their Episco pal brethren, outnumber them in organizations by fifteen. Princeton Seminary. —The Annual. Catalogue shows that the number of Professors is five, the same as last year. The number of Btudents is as follows:—Resident Minister, 1; Resident Graduates, 3; Senior Class, 24; Middle Class, 39; Junior Class, 40—total, 107. The McCormick Endowment. —The Treasurer of the Board of Trustees o( the Presbyterian Theo logical Seminary of the North-West has notified Kev. Dr. Willis Lord.'Professor of Theology, that he was instructed by the said trustees to pay no 1 part of the interest or income from the $75,000 al ready paid in by Mr. M’Cormick and invested, to the incumbent of the Chair of Theology. Dr. Lord, as Professor of Theology, received a portion of this fund last year, with the other professors. The trus tees, however, have found out that they have no right to pay any part of it to the Theological Chair, and henceforth they will only do what they have a right to do. The Board of Trus tees, that has charge of the finances, under the direction of the [Assembly's] Board of [Forty] Directors, is elected by the Directors, and,holds of fice at the option of the Directors. Very few changes have been made from the first in the Board of Trus tees, and they are aU membersoftheNorth Church, Chicago, except one, unless perhaps Mr. M’Cor mick, who is a trustee, may belong to a church in New York. He claims a residence in. Chicago, but as to bis church membership, we are not advibed.— The Presbyter, The French of Illinois.— The school at St. Ann’s, Kankakee Co., where Theo.Monod, (now in Paris, and son of the celebrated Dr. Fred. Monod,) labored for years as pastor and teacher, is prospering under the care of his successor, Rev. lien. E. Lippert. Seventy children are in attendance, and three young men of the school are now studying for the ministry ; one of them is in the Theological Semi nary at Chicago, and is hard at work in that city among its French population. He has eecured a hall in one of the principal streets, and addresses audiences which already average fifty each Sab bath. OTIIKR DENOMINATIONS. Episcopalian- —Rev. Frederick D. Huntington, D.D., of Boston, has been .elected Bishop of the diocese of Central New York, and has accepted. Dr. Huntington will be remembered as having been lor several years minister of the South Congrega tional (Unitarian) church in Boston—afterwards Preacher to the University and Plummer Prolessor of Christian Morals in Harvard College, and since his reception into the Episcopal Church, Rector of Emmanuel church, Boston, a .parish organized by himself.—The nomination of Dr. Jenner, a decided Ritualist, aB Bishop of Dunedin, has made a great excitement. The General Synod of New Zealand, which met in October last, after a warm discussion, voted that “ it would be better for the peace of the church of New Zealand that Dr. Jenner should re sign all claim to the position of Bishop of Dunedin.” It was said that Dr. Jenner had distinctly expressed his willingness to resign.—The Marquis of Bute, a THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY young man just of age, with an income of £300,000 per annum, has become a Roman Catholic. The Times argues, through a column leader, that it is of “no consequence.”—ln the diocese of Illinois there are now 92 Episcopal parishes, or 10 more than the number reported last year, to which belong 5,280 communicants, or 1,320 more than was on the books January 1, 1868. Tho contributions collected in 1867 amounted to $111,17G, but in 1868 to $196,904. 1,351 have been baptized, 813 confirmed, and 6,674 children are gathered into the Sunday-schools — each of these figures indicating a large gain upon those reported last year.—ln the diocese of Maine the communicants now number 1,632, ofwhom 187 have been confirmed the past year. There are 1,769 children in the Sunday-school. The contributions of the churches amount to $66,236. —The executors of the duke of Norfolk (a Roman Catholic) recent ly put up at auction the advowsons (or patronage) of several chqrch livings. One vicarage worth £6OO a year, was knocked down for “£3,610, but for the rest there was little or no bidding, as the auc tioneer could give no guarantee that they would not be confiscated within five years. Congregationalist. —Rev. W. H. Fenn of Port land, gives some statistics which disprove the asser tion made not long since by the Episcopal Bishop Neely, that Congregationalism is dying outin Maine. Since 1828, the Congregationalists have increased 161 per cent, the Baptists, 52 per cent., and the Free-Will Baptists, 49 per cent. Since 1850, the Congregationalists have increased between 18 and 19 percent., the Baptists declined 1 per cent. In 1868 the members of the Congregational churches out numbered the Methodists by 422. The Sabbath schools exceed theirs by 1269, and the contributions were three timeß as large. Many feeble churches in Maine are without pastorß, and not less than a dozen self-supporting churches are vacant; some of them among the most able in the State. Some get transient supplies; and some are without preaching much of the time. —A very interesting revival is in progress in Lebanon, N, Y;, the different denomin ations sharing in the work. In the Congregational church, some thirty persons have expressed hope, a number of prominent business men being subjects of the work.—Rev. Mr. Willey reports th at lie has visited twenty thousand families in New Hampshire, the past year, and found only fifteen hundred families without the Bible. —The Boston City Missionary Society reports its annual receipts at $10;455, leav ing a deficiency of $BlB. Twenty-one missiontu-ies have been employed.—Rev. Washington Gladden of North Adams, Mass., has declined an urgent call to one of the Presbyterian churches of Cleveland, mnch to the gratification of his people. A salary of $5,000 was offered. —Hartford Theological Sem inary has been remembered in the will of the late Mrs. Charles Hosmer of that city, in a generous le gacy" of $50,000. The Advance has recently said that this-institution has funds, but “ no vocation.” Baptist. Memorial Church. —Monday evening, Jan. 25th, the members and friends of the Memo rial Baptist church of this city, after months of toil, anxiety, and self-sacrificing energy, dedicated to the service of God their unique and beautiful chapel, while numbers who came to the feast of dedication could not find entrance. —In the Eleventh church , so recently the scene of trouble and dispute, under the judicious and earnest labors of Rev. C. Keyser, the prospects are brightening, and better days and brighter scenes are before them.—ln Bridgeton, N. J., the Pearl Si. church is enjoying a revival of great power. “More than’thirty have come forward for prayer, many of whom are rejoicing in hope of the glory of God. Our own brethren, and some of the friends who were converted at Dutch Neck last winter, are assisting the pastor in •preach ing.”—Matthew Hale Smith, whom 'a council re cently refusedto ordain over the Laight St. church in New York, lias resigned his'ijfbeitfbn as stated supply, and sailed for Europe.—The most magnifi cent church in New York iS said to be Dr. Corey’s, on Murray Hill.—The term “ Church of the. Disci pies,” or sometimes “Garapbellites,” from the name of its originator and pioneer, indicates a body of Christians numbering s ( oo,ooo,members; churches in a dozen States or more > a,quarterly review ; fif teen monthly magazines, nihq newspapers, and six colleges, besides Bmaller academies, and schools. They have a university with ajiend,owmentofs7oo - and 700 students. They are Trinitarian's, and were originally a schism froii) th? regular Baptist body, and administer baptism by i(h mersion.—Earn - est efforts are being made to secure funds for the erection of a suitable house of worship for the Bap tist church in the city of Paris. The location of the proposed building is in the vicinity of the Hotel des Invalides. The cost of ground and’house will be $2O 000, and English friends have raised $7,000. —ln Omaha, Nebraska, the Baptist church was or ganized June Ist, 1866, by Rev. J. W. Kermott, the present pastor. It was constituted with twelve mem- Ders, and now numbers about two hundred, with the largest congregation in the city, the Catholics excepted. Methodist —A preacher in Texas writes to the New Orleans Advocate, that a majority of the lay membeieof the Methodist Church South are will ing to unite with the Methodist Episcopal Church, but that the ministers are bitterly opposed, and con trol the laity.—At therecent session of the Memphis Conference ol the M. E. Church South, at Paris, Tenn., Rev. A. Huston and twenty-one other minis ters of the M. P. Church, united with the Church South, with 1,300 laymen.—The Sand Street M. E. Church, Brooklyn, took up their collection for mis sions, Christmas day, amounting to $2,230, all from the Sunday-school. —The Methodist, speaking of the growth ol Methodism in this country, says: “It has been said that American Methodism dedicates a new church every day of the year, and the asser tion has seemed to be more boastful than accurate. Yet the statistics of our own Church for 1868 show that it is within the truth, for our increase during that year, in the number of church edifices, reaches to five hundred and seventy. This makes something more than three new churches for every two days of the year.”—“Boston " reports in The Mew York Advocate, that several of the once devoted followers of Theodore Parker, “have been converted, and are now zealous members of the Methodist Church."— Dr. Elijah White, who was expelled from the How ard St.. Methodist church, San Francisco, on the charge of immoral practices, has sued the Rev. Dr. , Cox and others for $25,000 damages for injury to character. —There are, says The Methodist, 8,481 travelling preachers in the Methodist Episcopal Church, of whom 7,130 are effective, 860 superannu ated, an 1 491 supernumerary.—The Boston Meth odists propose to organize a social union, with a ten dollar admission tee, and a twelve dollar annual lee, —to spend an evening together once a month. The Baptists already have such a union. Romanist. —Wisconsin has a population of near ly half a million, of whom 300,000 are Romanists, and not over 50.000 are connected with evangelical churches. Fully one-half the population are for eigners.—The Madrid correspondent of The London Times says: “Those who look in at the sanctuary of Atocha, or who visit the chapel of the Virgin at Toledo, must be at a loss to find even the faintest trace of Christianity among the paraphernalia of the worse than pagan idolatry thateverywheremeets their eyes.”—Theßomanists ofßoston liaverecent ly published, and disseminated by the thousand, in the street cars, hotels, and stores of Boston, a little book called “Plain Talk.” On reading it one learn 6 that Romanism has been the light of the world. It freely circulates the Scriptures—it never had any thing to do with the Inquisition—-it was always toi- erant—it never revered Mary more than any other saint—relics it knows but very little of —itcondemns the Protestant Church because it has done bo much harm—Protestantism is intolerant —for example, look at Ireland under English rule —Luther was a libertine, and so were the mass of the Reformers, Ac., &c.— The Catholic Telegraph makes the total of communicants 9,4.15,200, or a little more, than one fourth of the whole population of the United States. Thus about three-fourths of our population, or 29,- 000,000, make no profession of Christianity. The article goes on to show, that although Catholics are at the head of the list in the number of communi cants, yet the different sects, though severally less, are, under their generic name of Protestant, in ex cess of them, and the non-professing portion of the community are hostile to the Catholic Church. Nothingarian. —The Liberal Christian of New York says: “ The recent meeting of the Conference has called attention anew to the condition and wants of Liberal Christianity in this city. The First Unitarian church was established here about fifty years ago, and the second only a few years later. Both churches-have been ministered to by able, ac complished, eloquent clergymen, some of whom have earned and won a national reputation. Both of these churches are largely composed of wealthy and cultivated families, and have occupied a posi tion and exerted a large influence. The third society dates back about ten years, and is known and talk ed about all over the country. Yet two of these churches are 1 numerically small, and the other, far from large. It is doubtful whether organized Um tarianism is stronger here to-day than it was twenty years ago. ‘‘The Universalists are scarcely better off, and have lost rather than gained ground within fifteen, years.” —The Christian Register is hereafter to be known as the Unitarian organ of “ Boston and Chicago,” having instituted an editorial department for the latter city.—ln a sermon before, the late General Convention of Universalists, at Providence, R. 1., Rev. Mr. Saxe, of Rochester, N. Y., de clared that the Universalist denomination would be benefittedby “diminishing its quantity and improv ing its quality.”—A Conference of about fifty Uni -versalist ministers from New. England met last week in convention in Springfield.' Mass. The discussions related* mostly to Sunday-schools and local mission ary work. One speaker declared that Universalists, seeing how many church members are full of cant piety and devoid of good works, go to the other ex treme, and seek to do the work, without devotion.— Rev. Clay Macauley, late ' pastor of the Unitarian church in Detroit, was installed over the Unitarian parish at Rochester, N. Y., recently.—At an educa tional meeting'held by leading Universalists at. Dr, Chapin’s courch in New York city, subscriptions arqountiug to $lO,OOO, were made in behalf of the St. Lawrence University and Theological School at Canton, N. Y.—Rev. Drr. Peabody is said to be dis charging the duties of; President of. Harvard Uni versity with marked success. It is hinted, however, that he will fail of an election to the Presidency, because he is more evangelical than suits the notions of the Harvard Trustees.—The “Free Religionists” have opened o hall in Boston for Sunday lectures. The speakers are to be the reverend Messrs. Froth ingbam, lYeiss, Abbott, Mr. Wasson, Mm. Julia Ward Howe, and others. One of the most zealous of the flock, Zion’s Herald relates, said that “ not a Bible or hymn-book would be allowed in the hall.” Jewish —A Cincinnati Jew is reported as saying: “Of two things I am certain ; of one I am uncer tain. lam certain I will die a Jew.. lam certain that'my grandchildren will die Christians; but I am uncertain whether my sons will-die as Jews or as Christians.” —On the contrary, The Jewish Mes senger, of this city, says: “We assure our readers of a different religion, that there does not exist in the whole camp of Israel the racist remote idea of superseding the day sanctified by. God and revela tion, for one originating from huc|an beings. The. Jewish Sabbath, the seventh daj. of the week, is the palladium of our religion and tie safeguard of .our institutions; its desecration— greatest evil. It is the bond of union, the connecting link be tween God and Israel.” —The Messentjpr gives a quirt rap at unfaithful Israelites in eayingithat “it will be found almost invaxiably that those fews who incur the penalty of the Sunday law are indifferent as to the observance of their own Sabbath. The many respectable firms whose places of bisiness Are clos ed on Saturday, do not find it necessary to throw them open on Sunday, end they perform such labor as may be indispensable on the Chiistian Sabbath very quietly and unobstrusivelyj'—Prof. C. E. Stowe, in an article in The Corigreghiionalist writes: “ The present aspect of Judaism throughout Chris-, tendom is well-nigh astounding. Blake regularly three Jewish newspapers,—lwo in English, and one' in German; and every week they ton tain articles against Christianity,- very determined, and not un frequently bitter and violent. The j Jews are very active, and rapidly growingin wealth and influence. There are ten regularly employed pleaching,Rabbis, in New York city,-and nearly as many synagogues. Cincinnati is not behind New Yorkjin this respect, and there are four or five in Boston. Some of their synagogues in New York and Cincinnati are among the inost costly and splendid religious edifices in the United States. They are establishing echools of the highest Order, and have commejnced operatioi s for an American Jewish National University [Mai monides College, in-our city] of the highest class; and they already have one or two theological semi naries.”—The Heu> York Sun says; “The Jewish congregations of the United States, jiike the Roman Catholic, draw their pulpit supplies from abroad. The ministers of the former know little or nothing ol the English language, and as the Hebrews born here learn and speak English, and Ido not practise Hebrew or German to such an extent as to-become proficient in.them, there ip a religions coldness shown by the young people toward their teachers. It is a strange anomaly that in this city there are but three English-speaking Jewish ministers ,who can preach passably in the language, while there are thirty congregations, three-fourths of whose members doubtless know more of English than they do ol Hebrew or German. An interest is sought to he awakene-i upon this subject here, so that native-born American Jews may be educated here for the miu- I istry.
