THE REFORMED CHURCHES.
A Peace Convention in Kentucky.— The Ken
tucky papers recently contained a call for a confer
• ■ncc'of elders and laymen of the 0. S. Presbyterian
.■hurdles, in connection with the two rival Synods
in Kentucky ; theconference to be held at Lexing
ton, Feb. 2-lih. The call was signed by representa
tives oi both Synods, and breathes a most Christian
spirit, expressing a hope and belief ‘ that the time
has arrived for a more intimate and fraternal con
nection, it may be, a permanent and lasting reunion
of the two bodies," and it is proposed "to take
measures looking to that end.” We see by telegram
irom Lexington that the Convention met as pro
posed, and that the deliberations were conducted in
a fraternal spirit. 01 the results reached we know
nothing as yet, but the success of the movement
would not increase the probability of a speedy
union of the two Northern Assemblies,—At a meet
ing of the Trustees of the Pacific Theological Semi
nary, held in San Francisco, Jan. 12th, the Rev. J.
A. Benton was chosen Professor. It was voted to
open the Seminary, if possible, on the Ist of March.
Revivals. —ln Washington , Pa., meetings have
been held since the Week of Prayer; thirteen have
united with the church, and others are expected.—

of fifty-six adults, twenty two by baptism, besides
an accession of twelve children through the same
ordinance.—The O S. church in Troy, lowa, have
shared with the N. S. church in a revival following
a joint communion, and twentv-tvvo have been ad
ded to the church, —many of them from the world
and many heads of families. Others are expected.—

val, forty were added to the church, making the 1
membership 300.—The U. P. church of St. Louis, j
Mo., has been recently distracted by the withdrawal
of a number of its members to the Declaration and
Testimony church, following their pastor, who had
been suspended by the U. P. Presbytery, nominally
for intemperance, but (it is alleged) really for ex
cessive liberality. The remanent church is now
enjoying a season of refreshment, and twelve have
been received "on their experience."—The West
Union church of West Virginia, now vacant, and
rent, at the outbreak of the war, by political dis
sension, has been visited by a great revival. One
hundred and sixty have joined on profession, thirty
aeceders ffcive returned to the church, and scarcely
any one is left unconverted within seven miles of

an accession of forty since the week of prayer, mostly
by profession.—ln the church of Lewisburg, Pa.,

Church Erection—On Sabbath, the 14th inst.,
the congregation of Pine Creek, Presbytery of Alle
gheny City, small in numbers, but one of the oldest
of our churches, dedicated their new edifice to the
worship of God. It is a brick building, attractive
in appearance, handsomely seated, neatly carpeted,
and almost paid for.—The members of the Rev. Dr.
Sprague's congregation, Albany, have just built a
large and beautitul mission chapel in the western
part of the city, at an expense of $22,000, which was
dedicated on Sabbath, Jan. 31. The pastor gave
the address,and in honor of him it is named Sprague
Chapel.—The German Reformed congregation or
ganized at Pleasantville, Pa., some eighteen months
ago has recently "built a house unto the Lord."
The new church edifice of the Church of Delafield,
Wisconsin, was solemnly dedicated to the worship of
the triune God January 28th.—A Presbyterian j
church was dedicated at Good Hope, McDonough
county, Illinois, lately. It is a beautiful house, and
will be free of debt. A church was organized in
the place on Saturday, January 30th, by a commit
tee of the Presbytery of Warren.—The dedication of
the new church at Newton, 111., took place on the
24th of January, and eighteen persons were received

O. S. Fund for Disabled Ministers.—Rev. S. S.
Mitchell, of Harrisburg, has formally accepted a
call from Washington, D. C., as successor of the
late Rev. Dr. Gurley. The Washington correspon
dent of The Banner says: "Mr. Mitchell did not
preach at New York Avenue church until the
morning and evening of last Sabbath, when very
large congregations listened attentively to both dis
courses. Mr, Mitchell has made a very favorable
impression, and at a meeting of officers of the
church, resolutions were passed urging him to ac
cept the call.” Rev. W. J. Alexander, lor many
years pastor of the church at Haneytown, West
Penn., died Jan. 26th ult. He preached on the
morning of the Lord’s day preceding his death, and
at the close of the service announced that he did
not feel able to occupy the pulpit in the evening.—

serviaes in the English Presbyterian Church, died a
few weeks since.—lf ev. Stephen Mattoon, a member
of the Presbytery of Albany, and pastor of the

THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, MARCH 4, 1869.
have consented simply to one year’s release for the
financial work.—A paragraph has been going the
rounds of the papers, that Rev. Dr. McCosli, the 1
new President of Princeton College, playß whist and
is a wine-bibber. Dr. Prime writes to The Evening
Post: “ I have the best authority for saying that he
never played a game of whist in bis life, and is not
in the habit of using wine; never drinking it, ex
cept on those rare occasions when good sense or
medical advice dictates its propriety.”—Rev. S. T.
Wilson, D.D., late of Rock Island, 111., has, we

Rev, J. H. Young lias resigned the charge of the
church at Waynesburg, Pennsylvania, in the Pres
bytery of Donegal.—Rev. A. E. Anderson was re- '
cenlly immersed by a Baptist minister, and installed

He had been eleven years a member and minister 1
ot the Presbyterian Church in England.
Churches. —-The annual collection of the Second
U. P. church, Pittsburgh, Pa., (Rev. T. H. Hanna,
formerly of the Fifth church of this city, pastor,)
to the different mission funds, taken on the last
Sabbath of January, amounted to over three thou
sand six hundred dollars, some three hundred over
last year’s contribution. This is a pretty emphatic
answer to the charge made by exclusivist UTF.’s
that the indifference of “Liberal” pastors was the
cause of deficits in the Church’s contributions. —
The Jefferson Park church (0. S„) on the West
Side of Chicago, of which Dr. Robert Patterson is
pastor, at the commencement of the present year,
paid off the remaining portion of their debt and
raised the salary of their pastor from $2,500 to j
$3,000. —The church of Rehoboth, Pa., has in
creased the salary of their pastor from $l,lOO to
$1,500, bought ten acres of ground for a parsonage,
and largely increased its membership.— Forty thou
saud dollars were contributed last year, by Dr.
Hall’s church, New York, to aid in the education
of theological students. , ,
Sustentation Fund. —One of the Northern Pres
byteries of the English Presbyterian Church has
adopted an overture, praying its Synod, which
meets at Liverpool in May next, to take steps for
the establishment of a Sustentation Fund for the
support of the ministry. The question of the better
support of the ministry is also the subject of anxious
consideration in the Scotch Established and Irish
Presbyterian Churches. In the former, a scheme
has been originated for the augmentation of the
smaller livings, so as to bring all up to a platform
of £2OO a year. Opinion is divided in the Irish
Presbyterian Church as to whether a sustentation'*
fund, like that of the Free Church of Scotland,
should be adopted, or an aid fund to supplement
the incomes ot the weak charges, such as the Usfited
Presbyterians possess.
Presbyterial —The Lake U. P. Presbytery has
Resolved that ail church members under our care
be directed to search out those who engage in the
whisky traffic, - entreat them to forsake it, and if
they refuse, deal with them as gross offenders. Also,
Resolved That since the use of tobacco is now re
garded as a stepping-stone to greater intemperance,
we will constantly endeavor to let our influence be
felt against this vile practice.
A Far-off Presbytery. —The Occident of San
Francisco says: “ The Presbytery of Oregon held
au unusually interesting and pleasant meeting at
Brownsvil e, on December 24th, 25th, and 2Gth.
The ministers were all present and the churches
wall Thcrusual routine of business was
attended to with harmony. Resolutions on reunion
on the basis of the Standards of the Church were
unanimously adopted. The Committee on Educa
tion reported encouragingly of the Albany Collegiate
Institute. Itev. J. A. Hanna was appointed finan
cial agent for said Institute. But the most cheering
was the solemnity of its devotions. It held lour
special sessions of prayer; seven sermons were
preached on the occasion, including the Sabbath ;
also, the administration of the Lord’s Supper. The
good seed sown at this meeting cannot fail to yield
fruit in its time.”
A Syrian Mission- —The Old Side Covenanters
have a mission in Syria. One of their missionaries
writes home the following report of their operations:
“ We have the following schools in operation in
the mountains at present, B’hamra, 13 scholars;
Bitally, 14 scholars; Kardaha, 13 scholars. On
the plain: Gendariyeh, 12 scholars; Misheriffy,
8 scnolars. Besides hese we have Saleen Saleh,
stationed at B’hamra to take the present oversight
of the schools, and to do, at some time, the work
of an evangelist. We, have also employed as
teacher a converted Turk, from . Constantinople;
who was obliged to flee to Egypt on account of the
persecution of his friends, the year of the cholera ;
, he came to Syria, and finally to Latakiyeh, where
he has been residing for more than a year now, at
my private expense chiefly. He has on all occas
ions shown himself a worthy man, both with us
and in the society of others. He assisted with us
at our last communion, and has at all times justi
fied by his exemplary behavior the confidence we
reposed in him.”
Presbyterian sm in Australia.—The Fourth
General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of
New South Wales met on the 13th October at
Sydney. The deliberations extended over eight
days, and embraced a great variety of topics. In
this body there are now seven Presbyteries, com
prising fifty-two ministers with charges, seven
ministers without charges, four ordained missionar
ies laboring under direction of the Home Mission
Church Extension Committee, and one under the
direction of the Heathen Missions Committee.
The new Moderator, in his opening address, took
a wide survey of the work they had to discharge,
and said that Presbyterianism had much to do in
the colony. The most important topic under con
sideration was the question of public education.
The Education Committee reported in favor of a
non-sectarian system, with provision merely for
opportunities for religious instruction. They op
posed a plan presented by the Episcopalian clergy
to unite Protestant denominations in working
the present sectarian plan, which was pronounced
a failure. The majority of the assembly seemed
to assent.
OTHER DEKOHIJtATIOXS.
Episcopalian —Rev. Henry A. Wise, Jr., son of
ex Governor Wise, of Virginia, and formerly set
tled as rector ot St. Mark’s Church ia this city died
on Wednesday, the 10th inst., in Wilmington, N. C.
—Rev. Francis Vinton has been elected Professor of
Ecclesiastical Polity and Law in the General
Theological Seminary. Miss Elizabeth Ludlow en
dowed this prolessorsitip last spring with $25,000,
and nominated her pastor, Rev. Dr. Vinton, to fill
the position.—Rev. Dr. Manny, of Faribault, Minn.,
where he was Prolessor of Systematic Theology in
theSeabury Divinity School of the Episcopal Church
in that place, was lately afilicted with gangrene in
his leg. and submitting to an amputation, he gra
dually sunk until Jan. 19in, when he died. —The
new Bishop Littlejohn, of Long Island, in a recent
sermon said: ‘‘The Church wants no idolatoreof
sacramental symbols, nor medievalists, nor those
who will stand and proclaim to the people, that all
Western Christendom outside of the Church of
Rome is a. failure.”—Bishop Neely, of Maine, has
opened a cathedral, ‘‘fully organized after, tfte
English system”—the first in New England. Rather
a miniature copy, we suspect, especially in the two
important matters of architectural munificence of
endowment.—Rev. Dr. Carter, has resigned his posi
tion as rector of St. James church, Vincennes.
Ind. He took charge of the parish in September,
1859. While discharging the duties of his calling,
he consented to fill for one year the Chair of Pro
fessor of Mathematics in the University of Vincen
nes, which conferred upon him the degree of LL. D.
lie was also chaplain of the 60th Indiana Regi
ment during thirteen months of their rough cam
paign in the Southwest.—Since the decision on
litualism, it has been determined, by those in au
thority at the ritnalistiG church of St. Albans,
Holborn, not to retain the two altar lights during
the celebration of the sacrament, but to keep seven
oendent lamps constantly burning before the altar.
This is substituting an “ Oriental use” for a
“ Roman” one.—Two years and a half ago, when
Bishop Randall went to Colorado, he found, there
three Episcopal clergymen, there are now in the
jurisdiction eleven ; twochurehes, now there are nine
built and building; two parishes, now ten. There
were no church schools, now there are five. One of
these—Wolf Hall at Denver is a diocesan school for
girls. It is a substantial brick edifice, fifty feet
square, having three stories—was completed and
opened in September—is free of debt, has seventy
five scholars, eight teachers, and is entirely self
supporting. The Bishop desires to establish a col
legiate boys' school on the same principle, and
which will also be self-supporting, with which may
be connected a training school for the education of
candidates for Holy Orders, Already are there
four young men in this jurisdiction studying for
the ministry.
Baptist. —The action of Calvary Church of this
city iu abolishing pew-rents and establishing a free
system, is promising well, and is likely soon to double,
the revenue of this city.—The Third Germantown
Church expect to’dedicate their new chapel during
the month of March. It is dearly completed,—
substantial, convenient and tasteful, but is probably
too small to accommodate this young, vigorous,
and growing Church.— The National Baptist of week
before last reported forty-nine baptisms in sixchurch
es of this city, two hundred and thirty-niuein sixteen
churches of this State, and sixty in seven churches
of New Jersey. The Examiner and Chronicle re
torted one hundred and ninety-six in six churches
in New York State. Of these we note that twenty
were in the Third church of this city : sixty were
in the church at Willistown, Pa., where over a
hundred have asked the prayers of God’s people !
sixty were in the vacant church of Carmel, Pa.,
and one hundred were in the First church of Al
bany, N. Y. The Morning Star reports two hundred
and eleven accessions or conversions in six Free
Will .oaptist churches.
Methodist. —The M. E. Church, South, has
535,040 members, including 6,341 traveling and
local preachers. They have churches'as far north
as Baltimore, Southern Illinois, California, and
Oregon. There are 2,561 members reported in
Illinois. —The first annual meetingof the M. E. Book
Committee, as organized by the last General Con
ference, was held iuNew York Feb. 11th to 15 th. The
exhibit shows the total assets of the publishing in
terest have been $1,340,916 61, and the earnings of
the year $152,882 89. Of this, $36,204 51 was
paid by order of the General Conference, leaving a
nqt profit of $114,678 38.—The concern has re
cently published extracts from the letters of Samuel
Rutherford, the hardest and.grimmest Calvinist in
the Westminster Assembly, and it was only by,
chance (or preventing grace) that the Eastern and
Western branches did not each publish a selection
largely identical from his letters at the same date.
—The Louisiana Conference of the M, E. Church
has, in the most Ohristianly manner ignored caste.
Four men of color, who a fewyearsago were slaves,
and for Christ's sake, in this Bible lanil, have suf
fered by the whip, the chain, the cage, and through
it all preserved their integrity, have been appointed
presiding elders over large districts and have entered
upon theirduties.—The Method'St papers report re
vivals in Bristol, N. Y., with 75 conversions ; at
Powers’ Corners, Pa. with 220 conversions and 150
accessions; at Martinsville, 0., with 75 conversions;
and at Fairfield, Mich., with 51 accessions— The
Religious Telescope of a recent date reports over
1,200 conversions among the charges supplied by
the preachers of the United Brethren.
Congregational. —At Pittsfield, Mass., a re
markable revival has been in progress for two
months. Daily prayer-meetings have been held
for Bixgweeks, and nightly meetings in several of
the churches. It is said that every young lady in
Maplewood Seminary, with two exceptions, has a
hopeful interest in Christ. —The church on Foster
street, in Melrose, Mass., was destroyed by fire the
17th in&t. The loss occasioned is estimated at
$20,000. There was only an insurance of $lO,OOO
upon the property, while half this was owed.—
Rev. Joseph Vaill, D. D., died recently at Palmer,
Mass., at the age of 78. He has spent most of the
winter in Boston, being this year a member of the
House of Representatives, and; till within a week,
enjoyed good health. —In East Abington, Mass., at
least fifty have converted, and the whole
community is awakened, under the ministry of an
Andover student.—Prof. Thayer of Andover Semi
nary was to sail from New York Feb. 23, for Ger
many. He is accompanied by Mrs. Thayer, whose
health is quite feeble, and they expect to be absent
until the winter.—Rev. George Ford, who goes as a
missionary of the American Board to the Seneca
Indians, was dismissed from his pastorate at Tol
land, Mass., Feb. 17.—Rev. Alpheus Harding, for
sixty-seven years connected with the Academy at
New Salem in different capacities, died Feb. 17 at
the age of 89.—Rqv. Jacob Hood, a minister 77
years age in Massachusetts, walks three miles every I
Sabbath to supply the Congregational Church near
Lynnfield Hotel, and then preaches morning and
afternoon, superintends and teaches in the Sabbath
school at noon, has a meeting in the evening, and
then walks his three miles home.—The recent case
in a Connecticut court involving the authority of
the consociatiou (or Semi-Presbytery) to dismiss
Rev. Dan. Gibbs from his pastorate, was not de
cided through disagreement of the judges.—Rev.
W. L. Gage of Hartford has commenced a course
of lectures before the Boston Theological Seminary
at the veßtry of Bromfield Street Church, on Pales
tine. His church have raised his salary to $4,000
—Rev. George Richards of Bridgeport,'Conn, is
suffering severely from trouble with his eyes, and
has come to Philadelphia lor medical assistance.—
Rev. Win. T. Eustis has been dismissed by council
from the Chapel street church of New Haven, to
go to to the Memorial cliprch inSpringfield.
—The Pacyfcsays: “In England it is staled that our
churches, numbering in 1865, 2,768, averaged two
out-stations to each church. And it is doubtless
due to this that in a population whose natural in
crease is depleted by constant immigration,: these
churches have increased even more rapidly than
have the churches of our order on this side the At
lantic.”

FOR PURIFYING THE BLOOD.
The reputation this excellent medi
ine enjoys, is derived from it« cures,
iany of which are trnly marvelloop.
> veterate cases of Scrofulous disease,
'here the system seemed saturated
ith corruption, hare been pnrified and
mred by it. Scrofulous affections and
isorderß. which were aggravated by
le scrofulous contamination until they
fere painfully afflicting, have been
vocally cured in such great numbers
almost every section of the country,
jat the public scarce!) need to be in
■ formed of its virtues or uses.
Scrofulous poison is one of tli» most destructive enemies of our
race. Often, this unseen and unfelt tenant of the organism under
mines the constitution, and inviteß the]attack of enfeeb'ing or fa
tal diseases, without exciting a suspicion of its pres-nce. Again,
it seems to breed infection throughout the body, and then on some
favorable occasion, rapidly develop into one or other of its hideous
forms, either on the surface or among the vitals. In the latter,
tubercles may be suddenly deposited in the l»ngs or heart, or tu
mors formed in the liver, or it shows its presence by eruptions on
the skin, or foul ulcerations on some part of the body. Hence
the occasional use of a bottle of this Sarsaparilla Is advisa
ble, even when no active symptoms of disease appear. Versons
afflicted with the following complaints generally find immediate
relief, and at length, cure, by the use of this SIARS&PAKIE
liA : St Anthony’s Fire* Rose or Erysipelas*
Tetter, Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Ringworm,
Sore Eyes, Sore Ears, and other eruptions or visible lonnß
of Scrofulous disease. Also in th« more concealed forms ns
Dyspepsia, Dropsy, Heart Disease, Fits, Epiiep.
sy, Neuralgia.
Minute Direction for each case are found in oar Almanac, sup

cumulations of extr»n-ous matters in the blood, yield quickly to
it, as also Elver Complaints, Torpidity, Congestion
or Inflammation of the Elver, and Jaundice, when
arising, as they often do, from-the rankling poisons in the blood.
This SARSAPARILLA is a great restorer for the strength
and vigor of the system. Those who are Eanguid and Eist
less, Despondent, Sleepless, and troubled with Ner
vous Appr (tensions or Fears, or any of the affec

and convincing evidence of its restorative power upon trial.

HAIR VIGOR,
For Restoring Gray Hair to its natural
Vitality, and Color.
A dressing which is at once agreeable,
healthy, and effectual for preserving the
hair. JFtided or gray hair is soon restored
to its original color with the gloss and fresh
ness of youth. Thin hair is thickened, fall
ing hair chi cked, and baldness often, though
not always, cored by its use. Nothing can
restore the hair where the follicles are de
stroyed, or tbe glunds atrophied and de
cayed. But snch as remain can bo saved
fornsesu'ncss by this application. Instead
of f nling the hair with a pasty sediment,
it will ke-p it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent
the hair from turning »ray or fal ing off, and consequently prevent
baldness. Free from those deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and luxurious to the hair, tbe Vigor
can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a
SJLIJt Dll IZSSIJSTG,
nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing neither oil
nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts long on the
hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume.
