THE REFORMED CHURCHES.
City.—The West Arch Street church, (Rev. Dr-
Willette',) is making a vigorous attempt to free it.

already secured.—The U. P. Presbytery of Phila

ding members to engage in the liquor traffic. "Par
tial reports" were received from all the Sessions

liquor dealers be admitted to membership. A corn
tnittee on the scriptural support of the ministry and
the abolition of the pew -rent system was raised and
ordered to report at the next Session. Also the fol
lowing was adoptedafter long discussion: "Whereas,
There is a widespread and serious difference of
opinion in our churches in regard to the meaning
and authority of the article on secret societies in our
Testimony, and in the practice resulting therefrom ;
therefore, Resolved, That Presbytery ask the Gen
eral AssemblY to express this article in such terms
as will make its scriptural authority and applica
tion manifest and clear, or that the article be re
pealed."—The North U. P. Mission church, April

ing to his duties at Princeton he will make no en
gagements for the present year, but we learn that
he has decided that his first engagement, outside of
his regular college duties, shall be with the Boston
Theological Seminary, and it is probable that he
will give the lectures asked for in April of next

itude for the sympathy and services paid by the
Methodists of England to the Free Kirk of Scotland
at the time of their disruption. He is doing excel

church of San Francisco have just organized a
Mission Sunday-school iu the northern part of the
city, where a very inviting field for such work seems
to be open. At the first session of the school near
ly fifty scholars were present, and the prospect is
encouragir.g in all respects. They have also com
menced a school for the instruction of Chinese, in
the church building, and there is a fair promise of
.success, notwithstanding the difficulty of access to
this large class of the population.—At Paris, Ky.,
the Northern and Southern parties into which the
Presbyterians are divided, have had grace to make
an amicable division of the Church property. For
merly there were two churches, one Old and one
New School, each having a house of worship. The
Old School also had a parsonage. In the recent
division, the 0. S. Assembly part retained the old
church; the Declaration and Testimony part re-:
tained the parsonage and the New School house.
The latter now propose to build anew house of wor
ship, andwith this in view, they have sold their
present banding to the Assembly part for $6,000,
giving them immediate use of it one-fourth of the
time, and full possession when their new house is
completed. The Assembly church expect to dis
pose of their old house, which has become too much
out of repair to- ba used as A. place of worship.

propriate inscription.

itation.—Rev. John E. Todd has tendered his res

Western Christian Advocate says: " The Congregation
alist of the East have more than once censured the

into St. James' church, Rev. J. Wilkinson, rector,
the annual income from the church, containing

nearly $3,000. The pledges ranged from 10 cents
to $lO per Sunday. The people once trained in the
system of joining their prayers and their.alms,' as
an act of worship, will give for any other object
with the same feed and ready liberitlity. Evidence
of this is afforded in this parish by their raising
and paying out within the last fourteen months
over $38,000, without selling or leasing a foot of
the new church, or even haviog resorted to a fair
or any other expedient."' {Two of the Presbyte

our confidence in you. and love for you as a sister
in the Lctd, to all whom it may concern. But, I
pray yot-, do not take the step. It is sinful, and
you wit regret it to your dying day, and most of
all regret it then. Your spiritual life will wither,
and you will mourn for the bosom of the Church
that You have forsaken. At present but one of the
farvily walks in error, why not have brother a
come with you, and both walk in the Truth ? Don't do
sister, I beg you, and I pray God to help y ou ,
and save you from it." Notwithstanding this epis
tle, the lady united with the M. E. church. [Th e
obstinacy of woman lj—The Campbellite Baptists

Franklin, who edits their Cincinnati paper, recently

This was forthwith done: several muscular "dea

member. It was organized in 1851 when they had

odist Book Concern and Missionary Society. It
contains five stories, ranging from thirteen and a
half feet to nineteen feet in height, resides the
basement, which is thirteen feet high and extends
under the sidewalks on both streets, o the curb,
having thus an area of one-ball acre. -The upper
floor, high celled and finely lighted, is for the com
posing rooms. The steam-power will be under the
street. Elevators will convey both goodsand persons
easily and expeditiously from the level of the street
to any floor required. It will , be devote' to • Meth
odist uses, and it is expected that ever} denomina
tional agency will find office room in tie spacious
edifice. Enough can be easily spared .for renting
to pay six or seven percent. on the diginal cost.
It is estimated that the entire cost, when the edifice
is completed and put in working order, 7ill be about
$1,000,000. The Book Concern, which pays three
fourths of the price of this new pUrchase, was
founded in 1789, on a borrowed capital of $6OO.
