S.), of Brooklyn, the pulpit of which became vacant by the recent resignation of Rev. Dr. .J. E. Rockwell. Dr. 'l'almage preached in the Central church in Brooklyn last Lord’s day. lie declined a call from the Calvary church (N. S.) of Chicago, preferring that from Brooklyn; the salary offered ($7,000) was the same in both cases. —The Rev. Geo. F.

A certificate of dismission was granted to Mr. Marks to connect with the Wilmington Presbytery (N. S.).—At a communion season in the Fifth U. P. church (Rev. Alex. Calhoun, pastor elect), February 21st, six teen were added to the membership. This congre gation is. in a promising state.—At a recent congregational meeting of the Princeton church, West Philadelphia, it was unanimously resolved to add $l,OOO to the salary of the pastor, the Rev. J. Addison Henry. It is not nine years Bince Mr. Henry came directly from the theological semi nary, and was installed the first pastor of this church. During this time a heavy debt has been liquidated, the churcli enlarged and greatly im proved, another lot purchased adjoining the present property, regular and large donations made to all the Boards, and the salary of their pastor raised three times. Constant additions, moreover, have been made to the membership, which might have been reasonably expected when “ tithes are thus brought into the storehouse.”— The Central Presby terian says: “ Rev. Dr. Henry A. Board ill an, who went to St. Paul, last fall, in impaired health, has almost completely recovered, and preached recently for the first time in many months.” Churches. —The church of Sewickley, Presby tery of Allegheny City, has recently raised the salary of its pastor, Rev.

The same church has between three and four thou sand dollars towards a building for Sabbath-school andlecture purposes.— The Norfolk Virginian states that a contract has been made tor the rebuilding of the.old church at Hampton, Va., a venerable pile which lias stood for nearly two centuries. —The Protestants of Madrid ought to have a good house for public worship. A correspondent writes: “Through the aid of English friends, Barcelona, Seville and Malaga have already spacious and de cent places of worship ; but here in the capital, we are without anything of the sort. Spaniards desire that all things connected with religion should be carried out with decorum, and many will not come to a service in a little room, who would come will ingly to a decent place set apart for Divine wor ship.” > Ministerial. —Benjamin Van Rensselear James, who was a missionary of the American Board from 1832 to 1844, on the western coast of Africa, and from 1844 to 18(59, of the O. S. Board, died at Mon rovia, Liberia, Africa, January 9th, in his 55th year, was successively Representative, and at his death, Treasurer of the Repulic of Liberia. In all his stations and relations, he was held in high esteem. —Rev. Joseph McElroy, D.D., who was settled in the Scotch church, New York, in 1822, preached an able and impressive discourse on the 27th of December last, on the occasion of the forty fifth anniversary of his pastoral charge of that church. Dr. McElroy was a student in the Theo logical Seminary, under Dr. Mason, in New York, and his first pastoral charge was the First Associ ate Reformed (now Second) church, Pittsburg, Pa,. —Rev. 11. F. ilickok, of Fort Edward, New York, has been elected pastor of the Second church, at Grange, N. J. (New School). —Rev.

At Living Lake, a very tasteful edifice (60x40 feet) has been dedicated by a congregatiou of twenty-five families, organized less than a year ago. The money necessary to complete the edifice free of debt, was raised at a church sociable, held during the week of Prayer. At Albia, a brick church, neat and commodious, with some preten sions to beauty, was dedicated in January. Of the cost, $6,360, there had been paid $3,285, and on the day of dedication $1,500 more was subscribed.— The church at Vallego, Cal., which eight years ago was organized of a fluctuating population con nected with the Navy Yard, have recently erected a fine house of worship. Fresbyterial visitation is a wise practice im ported from the old by the U. P. church. The Presbytery of Wisconsin met at York, this spring, and after a scrutiny of the affairs of that church, administered encouragement and rebuke as follows: “ Resolved, That we have heard with pleasure that the pastor of Yorkville congregation is faithful in preaching the gospel, that he and the eldership are putting forth much commendable effort to build up the congregation and advance the cause of Christ, that a prayer meeting and flourishing Sabbath-school exists in the Dover part of the congregation—but have heard with sorrow that many of the baptized members do hot publicly profess Christ, that no prayer meeting exists in the Yorkville part, that the Sabbath-school is not in a flourishing condition, that the salary given the pastor is not sufficient to support him, ana that the house in which they worship is not as comfortable I as it should be; and would therefore exhort them, especially the pastor and eldership, to endeavor to establish a prayer meeting, to work and pray more earnestly in behalf of the Sabbath-school, to renew their efforts to have the youth put on the yoke of Christ—would urge the congregation to raise the pastor's salary, and express the hope that they will soon provide themselves with a more commodious house of worship. Revivals. —In the O, S. churches, we observe (revivals in the churches of Bethesda, 0., in the Presbytery of New Lisbon, where forty-three have been received to communion, all but seven on ex "tion, an unusually large number being of families; at Pleasantville, Pa., where ive have been received, thirty-three on ex -tion, and thirteen by baptism ; in the church >wer Tuscarora, Pa., where about sixty are g the way to life, and many hope they have t Him. The work has been chiefly among itudents of the academies. In Cedarville. ~ many Christians- have been roused to new .'oration, and between thirty and forty have n u™ dar^neßa into light. The Second w hich recently dedicated a house of wor and abolished the pew-rent system, leaving the ir of contribution to every man’s conscience, isen blessed with a gracious outpouring of the THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, MARCH 11,1869. Spirit, and many have found, and many are seek ing, Christ. In Hopewell, Pa., church protracted meetings were held for eight days, and thirty-three persons professed to be awakened to a sense of spi ritual hunger, twenty-seven of them men and boys. Twenty-eight of these have joined the church. At Pleasant Hill, 0., meetings were held in co operation with the Methodists, resulting in the in gathering of forty-one to the O. S. church, all but eight being upon profession. Others are expected to join. In a similar union of Methodist and Pres byterian energies and services, at Valparaiso, Ind., over a hundred have been awakened to inquiry. The church at Charlestown, Ind., has been simi larly blessed with the Spirit’s gracious influence, and “quite a number" are about to unite wjth it. The U. P. church of Buffalo had an accession of twenty-seven members, February 14th. Educational. —Prof. Robert Kidd has just con cluded a course of lectures on elocutiorjf before Princeton Theological Seminary. It is said that he is to be tendered the regular Professorship of Elo cution in that institution.—Rev. George Morrison, of Terra Haute, Ind., is laboring to establish a Female College in that place, under Christian influences. He has secured such offers that the speedy sub scription of $12,000 will now secure a property and an endowment of $200,000, so that each dollar now contributed would really be .worth sixteen. —In the four months of October, November, December and January, $43,525 were added to the endow ment of Wooster, O. University, and more than $16,000 to its building fund, through the abundant labors of the financial agent. —In 1864, a Freed man’s University was chartered at Quindaro, Ks., and subsequently placed under care of the Synod of Kansas. It now numbers 170 Btudenta on the roll, has two stone and frame buildings, and two hundred acres of land valued at $lO,OOO. The location at Quindaro is pronounced favorable-in every respect. Rev. E. B. Raffensperger, formerly pastor of the First Presbyterian church at Toledo, 0., has been appointed Fiscal Secretary of the Board of Trustees of the new Ladies’ Seminary, at Chambersburg, Pa. The Trustees have secured the McClure property located at Chambersburg, embracing one hundred acres of land. The newly erected mansion, built on the site of the ope de stroyed'by the rebels, cost $56,000. The citizens of Chambersburg and vicinity have raised enough to pay for this property, which is admirably adapted to the purposes of a college. It is proposed to raise $150,000 additional before the halls are opened, but to aim at an endowment of $500,000. The receipts of the 0. S. Boards, in January, were as follows: Domestic Missions, $11,839.11; Education, $9,667.76; Publication, (colportage aud distribution fund,) $990.88; Church Extension, s633B.o4;]Fund for Disabled Ministers, $2,423,94|; Committee on Freedmen, $6,954.36. Scottish Bible Society—The annual meeting of the National Society was held in Edinburgh on January 26th. It appearß that the entire free income for the year was £20,010, and that the amount received for Scriptures was £7,865, making a total of £27,875. This shows an iucrease of upwards of £13,000 as compared with last year —mainly due to the large legacy of £lO,OOO from the late Mr. Henderson of Park. The circulation of copies or portions of Scripture during the year reached 221,624. The issue of Gaelic Bibles was close upon 7,000. OTHER DENOMINATIONS. Congregational. — The erection of the new theo logical building at Yale College will begin next spring upon the corner of Elm and College streets, New Haven.—Some years ago, in consequence of a division of feeling in the church at Berkley, Mass., some of the members withdrew and formed another church, whereupon a vote of cenßure upon them was passed by the old church. This vote has been unanimously rescinded.—Rev. Henry Ward Beecher made $40,000 last year, of which $12,000 were made by preaching, and $28,000 by practic ing various gifts; and yet, we will venture to say that be spent twice as much time preaching as on all his other works, so that even in his case preach ing is not fairly remunerated. —The Boston Tran script says the first lecture ever delivered in Boston by Mr. Beeeher, was in 1849, by invitation of the Mercantile Library Association, and his theme then was “Amusements,” the same subject he has so successfully treated recently. His first address created a great sensation for the boldness with which he advanced his views but he finds, after a lapse of twenty years, the public sentiment in full harmony with his early teachings.—Rev. George Trask, of Massachusetts, the anti-tobacnonist, writes that his antidote against,tobacco “consists of three things: Resolutions, gentian root and the grace of God. in due proportions.” No doubt of its efficacy.—Rev. Dr. Quir.t of New Bedford still feels the effects of army life, and is now suffering with a throat difficulty which prevents his preach ing. The Trinitarian Church is still without a pastor.—Rev. William Phipps had a brief farewell address printed and placed in the pews at Paxton, Mass.; in which, after telling his people that he dared not trust himself to preach a farewell sermon, and briefly summing up the work and the expe rience of his long ministry, he begs them to make no opposition to bis leaving them, but to remain united, and to secure another minister. Two years ago the society, after paying him $5OO for a quar ter of a century, voted to pay him $7OO a year; but they have failed to do this, and hence his re signation.—Rev. Warren F. Day closed his labors at Vernon, 111., Feb. 28th, having accepted a call to the church at Galesburg.—Rev. J. A. Benton, one of the editors of the Pacific , has asked a dis mission from the Second church of San Francisco, to accept the professorship in the Pacific Theologi cal Seminary. Revivals. —The revival in Dover, N. H., has spread so widely that the meetings had to be ad journed from the crowded churches to the spacious town hall, and as many as 200 have come forward as inquirers.—Between forty and fifty have been gathered into the church in Barnet, Vt., by a quiet work of grace.—There have been about sixty re cent conversions at West Groton, N.

New Churches. —The new and substantial edifice of the Payson Memorial Church in Portland, is already up and covered, fronting on the central square, but the means are wanting even to finish the basement for use, and the congregation still occcupies the Unitarian church. The church of Alamo, Mich., organized a year ago in a country district, numbering thirteen adult members, be sides paying for a parsonage costing $750, recently dedicated a handsome church of wood costing $4,564, all of which was raised before the prayer of dedication.—The church of Mattawan, Mich., or ganized in 1867 of twenty-five members, has grown to forty, and dedicated a fine brick house of wor ship, Jan. 18, at a cost of $4,075, all of which was pledged before dedication.— A church of ten mem bers was organized, Feb. 16th, in Penfield, 111.

Octavius Perinchiel has re signed his charge in Georgetown, D. C., and ac cepted an important position in this city. He had previously declined a call to one of the prominent churches in New York. Mr. Perinchief belongs to the moderate branch of this Church, and has made an impression upon the people of his charge, dur ing the last two years, which is quite without a parallel.—Bishop Cummings, of the Diocese of Kentucky, was invited by a rector to preach in Chicago, the place of his former labors, in behalf of the Evang. Knowledge Soc. The Bishop is a Low churchman, and Bishop Whßehouse is a Higli churchman, so that the latter inhibited the former from preaching in behalf of that society in that diocese. But Bishop Cummings went im spite of the protest of his brother diocesan, a,nd Reached in Chicago, denouncing Ritualism with vehement and just indignation. The Sianding Committee of the Diocese sustain Bishop Whitehouse in his course, and fhe matter will probably be brought before the House of Bishops.—There are among the Episcopalians some large churches. In New York, exclusive of Trinity parish, which includes Trinity church and chapel, St. Paul’s and St John’s, and numbers 2,017 communicants, the largest is St. George’s, Rev.

Baptist- —Rev. Crammond Kennedy pronounces his excommunication from the Fifth Avenue church, in New York, for denying the close com munion doctrine, “ a high-handed, anomalous, and most un-Baptist proceeding,” and says he had no trial, no opportunity to explain, and ha 9 as yet re ceived no official notice of his excommunication. So much for “ soul-liberty,’' of which the Baptists Used to hoist. We see it stated that he is about to join some branch of the Presbyterian Church. He has taken editorial charge of The Church Union, and promises to “ mend its manners.”—More than $19,000 has been collected and expended for build ing the new church-edifice of the German church on Fourteenth street, New York.

Dr. Turnbull, for many years pastor of tbe First or North Baptist church in Hartford, Conn., has tendered his resig nation, compelled by the failure of his health.—A New York correspondent of The National Baptist rejoices that “the time has come when the City Mission and Tract Society that ‘ ignores all secta rianism,’ ‘feel that the ordinances should be ad ministered at the stations.' This move they know must cause the Baptists to withdraw, and they reap all the benefit of the and money contributed by Baptists to the work." —Rev. S. Stevenson says: “It was my privilege to attend a monthly conference of Baptist ministers, at Germantown. The subject of baptism was up, and several .ministers incidentally mentioned that they had been sprinkled in infancy. At the close ot the meeting, one of the brethren requested all who had been thus sprinkled to rise to their feet, when thirteen out of about twenty-four—more than one half of all the ministers present—stood up.” Ergo, a Baptist millennium by return of post. — Rev.

Methodist —The new Metropolitan church in Washington was dedicated Feb. 28th. Bishop Simpson preached the dedicatory sermon in the forenoon, and Drs. Punshon and Eddy preached in the afternoon and evening. At least two thousand persons were in and about the church edifice, among them General Grant and his family. It is a magnificent building, in Connecticut brown stone, in pure Gothic style, and with very elaborate adornments without and within. The enterprise was commenced about sixteen years ago, by. nine gentlemen in Washington, and has been carried to completion by the voluntary contributions of the denomination throughout the \J nited States. The work was suspended during the war, as it was a national work. It will cost $250,000. About $60,- 000 is still to be raised to pay off indebtedness, and to furnish. It has a magnificent organ, the gift of Carlos Pierce, Esq., of Boston. Much offence, is stated to have been given by the manner in which contributions were really forced out of people at this dedication ; several gentlemen, who had been intending to give from $2OO to $5OO each, refusirg to give anything, to mark their disapprobation of the proceedings. Gen. Grant gave $5OO, on condi tion that no use be made of the fact on that occa sion An effort to have each of the States pay $lOOO for a pew for its citizens visiting here has been quite successful.

The panels and other parts of the pulpit are of olive wood from Gethsemane and the Mount of Olives. r J he whole building will seat comfortably about one thousand persons, and is furnished with elegant taste, and without*regard to expense.—Rev. 0. Gibson, the missionary among the Chinese in California, has already organized Sunday evening schools in San Francisco, Sacramento, Stockton, and Santa Clara, in which about 200 Chinese are taught to speak, read, and write our language. It is intended to extend this system of schools all over the coast, as rapidly as possib'e. It is proposed to establish a “Central School” in San Francisco, which shall be a permanent institution of high grade, developing ultimately into a College for Asiatics. About $20,000 will be needed to found the institution, a large part of which is expected from the steamship and railroad companies, which make use, to a great extent, of Chinese labor.—An effort is made, but without much success, to revive iu the Methodist churches the practice of three sermons on the Sabbath day.—Rev Dr. William Butler, of the New England Conference, has ac cepted the office lately held by Dr. Mattison, as one of the Secretaries of the American and Foreign Christian Union.—Rev.
