THE REFORMED CHURCHES.
City.—Rev. T. De Witt Talmage, D. D., pastor
of tbe .Reformed church, ha 9 accepted a call from
the Central church (0. 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. Cain, of Erie, Pa., has received
a unanimous call to the First Reformed (Dutch)
church of Philadelphia, and The Banner says, will
probably accept.—A pro re nata meeting of the
Philadelphia U. P. Presbytery was held in the
First Church, March Ist. Rev. L. Marks was per
mitted to return the call which he had accepted
from the North Mission church. 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. J. B. Bittenger, D. D., to
$2,000, It also provides a commodious parsonage.
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. William Knox,
of Woodhaven, has received and accepted a call
from the'Second church, Huntington, L. I. —Rev.
G. M. Clark, of Shelburne, N. S., has accepted a
call from one of the U. P. churches in Boston, and
has eutered on his new field of labor, where a large
portion of his congregation are from “over the
border.”
New Churches. —The Presbyterian Witness gives
an account of the opening of four new churches
in Nova'Scotia—one at Wickwire Station, Itev.
James McLean pastor: a second, a very fine one
at Shubenacadie, same pastor; the third, Chal
mers' church, Lochaber, Rev. J. P. Forbes, pastor,
and the fourth, King’s church, part of Mr. Forbes
charge.—Two U. P. churches have been dedicated
in lowa. 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

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. Y.—All the
members of the two upper classes at Oberlin are
now among those having a Christian hope. The
religious interest in the place is still very deep.—
There is a quickening in the church at Pittsfield,
111., with twenty conversions.—Thirty-five conver
sions are reported a' Koshkong, Wis., one of the
out-stations at which Rev T. G. Colton preach eB
every second Sabbath.—Thirty-eight have been
added to the church in Greenwood, Mo. Before
the revival its membership was but sixteen. Daily
meetings were held nearly six weeks.
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.
Episcopalian. —Rev. Dr. Hoffman, rector of
Grace church, on Brooklyn Heights, has tendered
his resignation, to take effect March let. Dr. Hoff
man leaves Brooklyn by the advice of his physi-
cian, and has accepled a call from the vestry of St.
Mark’s church, Philadelphia. He is a brother of
Gov. Hoffman.—Rev. 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. Dr. Tyng’s, which, with its mis
sions, numbers 1,600. Next to these are St. Bar
tholomew’s, numbering 700 ; and the Holy Trinity
(Rev. S. H. Tyng, Jr.) 695. Outside of New
York, tbe largest communion is St. Mark’s, Frank
ford, Pennsylvania, Rev. D. S. Miller Rector. 891
communicants; St. Andrew's, Philadelphia, has
786 ; and Emanuel church, Baltimore, 755. The
next largest communion reported is Trinity, New
ark, Rev. Dr. M. Meier Smith, Rector, with 642
communicants, including, as the two preceding, a
chapel congregation. The “Evangelists” in Phi
ladelphia, Rev. S. Durborrow, has 639 communi
cants; and the Holy Trinity, Rev. Phillips Brooks,
614. Outside New York and Philadelphia, the
three largest communions are St. Mark’s, Frank
ford, Pa.; Emanuel, Baltimore, Md.; and Trinity,
Newark, N. J.—The new Archbishop of Canter
bury will preach a sermon at a special service under
the dome of St. Paul’s Cathedral, in honor of the
opening of the new House of the British and For
eign Bible Society.—A practical and economical
chaplain of Madras proposes to cut up the sur
plices of his choir to make shirts for the school
children, and Ritualism is aghast.
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. The congrega
tion worship in the lecture-room, which will seat
about 500 persons.—The Rev. 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. O. T. Walker, of the Bowdoin Square church,
in Boston, chaplain of the House of Representa
tives, accepts the call of a church in Chicago.
Salary, $3,500. —The Rev. R. B. Desroches, a mis
sionary to the French in Michigan, has baptized
one hundred and fifty Romanists during the past
ten years in Detroit; and, so far as he knows, not
one has returned to the Church of Rome.—The
African church of Danville, Va., has a membership
of over four hundred, and keeps up a day school
with a tax of five Cents a week on each scholar.—
The Congregationalists of New England want to
transfer.the Boston Tract Society to their own de
nomination, bat the Baptist Institute of Mass, have
resolved that the ministers composing this Institute
regard such a movement as ill-advised and disas
trous in the extreme, being, in their opinion, a vio
lation of the principles on which the Society was
founded, and subversive of the rights of those life
members and life-directors of the Society who hap
pen to belong to those denominations which are in
the minority.—Dr. Dowling’s church in New York
—“a poor Fourth Ward church,” —recentlyiraised
$2,500 on one Sabbath to pay off a debt of $1,600,
the first time in twenty-five years that they ever
raised a third of the amount asked for such pur
poses.
The Seventh-day Baptists have 75 churches in the
United States. Of these the oldest is that in New
port, founded in 1671. They have 499 members in
Hopkinton, R. I.; 415 in Westerly, R. I.; 324 in
Shiloh, N. J.; 430 in Brookfield, N. Y. ; 629 in
Alfred, N. Y., where they have a flourishing uni
versity ; and 372 in . Albion, Mich. The total
membership of all their churches is 7,129. They
have a feebly-supported foreign mission in Shang
hai, and propose to raise next year $2,500 for mis
sionary pnrposes, most of which goes to church-ex
tension at home.
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 structure stands on
the corner of C and Four-and a-balf streets, and
measures 75 by 115 feet. The spire is 240 feet
high. The stained windows bear memorial inscrip
tions of the great (iff/its of Methodism, furnished by
different Conferences and individuals. The key
stone of the arch above the pulpit i 9 njade of the
stone from which Solomon's temple was erected.
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. E. Bowen, D.D., after over
fifty years spent in the ministry of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, has united with the Free Metho
dists.
