up in pecuniary ability.
Churches.—Twenty-five years ago, April 23d, the
Central church, of Cincinnati, was organized.. Of
the thirty-three members constituting the Society
then, but four remain on the Church-roll. In these
twenty-five years, 1,299 persons have been enrolled

offences. He was also excommunicuted from mern-.
bership, Dr. Prestley appeals to the Synod of Pitts

different character from those in another case of

Foreign.—A London paper. says : 4 remarkable
work has been going on among the fishermen of'
Aberdeen. N umber s of strong men, young and old,
have been prostrated and have decjare4 . that they
saw visions—they, meanwhile; crying* out to the -
Lord to have mercy upon them. Some have cried
out that they see departed reliitiveii heaven, and
reply to the beckonings of those relatives that thf.y
are coming. Their eyes are fixed, their lips quiver,
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, MAY 6, 1869.
and they lie on the ground, their limbs quite rigid
and motionless, This is declared by the converted
fishermen to be the genuine work of the Spirit. The
revival work continues. The fishermen did not go
to sea for a fortnight. They have been eating and
sleeping with regularity.
—The Duke of Argyle, an elder in the Established
Church of Scotland, in laying the corner-stone of a
house of worship for an English Pres. church in
London (Rev. Mr. Dinwiddie's) "stated that while
he did not think that any one form of church go
vernment or of religious worship had exclusive au
thority in the Church of Christ, and that while he
frequently worshipped in Episcopalian churches, he
preferred the t-imple worship of the Presbyterian
Church, of which he was a member. He also
strongly urged the various branches of the Presby
terian Church in England to unite, and form one
great independent Church. He also gave it as his
opinion that a greater amount of liberty might be
given to individual congregations to introduce mod
ifications in the mode of worship in perfect consis
tency with the. Presbyterian form of .goVernment,
his Grace evidently thinking that were this done
greater progress would be made in England by the
Presbyterian cause. An-important part of his-ad,
dress was his reference to the absence of 'Work',
ing classes from the places of worship of all denom
inations, which le 'characterized as a most deplo
rable fact in thecongregational statistics of London,
and as one to which the Chinches should address
themselves ip,eeeking to provide a remedy."
DENOXIMATIOASI
Episcopalian.—A. new church lately organized
in Washington, makes, no diStinction on account of
color. A colored man whd is •a vestryman, is also
a member of the Board of Aldermen.
—A clergyman of Indiana has been.convicteil of the
offence of witne'ssing . the "BlaCk. Crook." and his
Bishop has reprimanded bin' - accordingly.
—At Christ Church, New. York, (Rev, Dr. Ewer,
pastor,) on a recent Sunday, the organist' became so
provoked at the blunders of the choir that in the
midst of a hymn he left the church, and the service
was finished without the organ accompaniment.
—Rev. James Oh rystal, has been - visiting Syra, one

Church. •
—The Kansas Diocesan Seminary, for Girls, at To
peka, almost the only Protestant .school of-the kind
in that State, has 75 pupils, and owhs a square of 20
acres, in Topeka.
—The Convention for the Diocese of New York
passed an amendment to a canon, in 1867, to the
effect " that any. church Which. *Mall have ,failed•to
make any eitherof the collectionSor pontribiutiOns
required, or enjoined,, or !directed by any canon,
shall be regarded as having forfeited its connection
with the Convention, and shall no longer have a
right to send a delegate - or delegates to the same."
The vestry of Dr. Tyng's church regarding this as
designed to force Low Churchmen to contribute to
institutions controlled for . High Church purposes,
have protested and, declared. the
,action and
void." But they, have. resolved to pay the money
demanded. - - • .
—Quite a stormy discussion agitated the last session'
of the Board of Trustees of the General Theological
Seminary at . New York. Bishop Kerfoot, Drs. Hig
bee and Edson and Judge Bell; advo'cated itppoint
ing a dean Of the Seininary, while Bishop . Bitter,
and Drs. Van Kleeck and Goodwin contended that
the dean would be merely a supernumerary.: The
election was postponed till the annual meeting next
June. • The Board then elected . Rev. Dr. Walton,,
Professor of Hebrew and Greek. Five ballotings
for a Professor of Systematic _Divinity then took
place, and no candidate receiving the requisite num
tier of votes, the election was postponedtill Jane. '
—Rev. E. B. Allen, the new rector of Carson City,
Nev., claims that, "Every minister who 'Wishes to
ask 'a clergyman of any other evangelical denomi
nation into the chancel, or to preach for him, or to
make'an address'on anroccasion, or who roar de
sire'to'preadh for any Othe'r
should have the privilege of-doingso, without being
tried or censured! I shall fraternize with my breth
ren in Christ to that extent, which our Church per
mits, and shall unite with those who hold Similar
views in having the-restrictions of inter-communion
removed." ,Rev. Wm. Tracy, RD., informs ue that
while in India he has' frequently preached for the
English Episccipalian missio'narie's, .even for those
sent gut by the. S. P .G.
the. Bishop of Down's last diocesan meeting,
the cry of 'No - surrender" to the proposed dises
tablistnent of the Irish Church was strongly iaised.
His lordship spoke of preparing like prOent men
for`the coming day, but the whole assemlilyi rose to
their feet, shouted,f‘To !" and hissed. Theiidea of
entering into any negotiations was warmly4repudi
ated.
Congregationalist.—The Congregational Quarterly
reports 575 churches not supplied with preaching,
and• 510 ministers unemployed. —Dr. Stone has
,just
declined a call to Calvary church, Chicago, (salary
$7,000) on the . ground that thfough attachment to
San Francisco he desires to end his days there.—
Boston has now sixteen Congregational churches, a
new one having been organized in March'.
—The Methodists have purchased the house of wor
ship occupied by the New England Church in New
York, from which Rev L. Abbott has just been dis
missed. This is the first fruit of the movement to
devote half a million of dollars to Methodist church
extension in thatcity.
—The longest pastorate recorded in the history of
the Christian Church, at least since the time of
Polycarp, is that of John Milton Holmes, of the
Tabernacle Church in ~Jersey. City. The Advance
says that he has enjoyed "fc.pastorate of eighty
years!"
—Rev. Dr. Boynton has resigned the pastorate of
the Church in Washington. Over one hUndred of his
friends took letters to a new Cong. church, hereafter
to be tormed, to worship, for the present, in the af
ternoon in a Baptist Church. The Fast church re
tains the church building, and all the officers except
the pastor. The meeting at which the separation
took place, was in the best spirit.
How Congregational Churches are Manufactured at
the South.—We recently published the following
from a Congregational exchange: " Within the last
two months three Congregational, churches have
been founded in the South. Of these, two have'been
organized in New Orleans, by Rev. J. W. Healy, and
have 200 members each. . . . . Mr. Healy
says 20 more Congregational churches will be or
ganized this year in. Louisiana." A correspondent
of The Examiner and,Uhronicle explains : " Mr. Healy
went into the ecclesiastical market and bought over
two Free Will Baptist churches to change their
name to Congregational, and to deed their property
to some Congregational. Society, the .American
Mis
sionary Association, we presume. These churches
are in reality no more Congregational than they
were befbre'beifeg,-manipullited,hy-Mr. Healy. They
- are still Baptist in sentithent. 'They Were indeed
told that they might, retain their views:and practi
ces while bearing a tiew'name, and that if, after a
trial of six months, they were dissatisfied with the
change, they could withdraw from the new connec
tion by paying back the money which had been ad
vanced to them to aid in erecting a house or houses
,of. ,worship. Mr. Healy, so one of their number,in
ffirined me, told thein that he was himself Bafitist,
having been immersed, and he carefully kept in the
background the distinctive views of his own church.
Strong•opposition was .manifested on the 'part of
many, and one church cert Only has been divided,
he pastor and some dozen others hawing gone out,
o be "organized" into a new church, the rest re
naining firm in their old belief.
Methodist. —ln order to secure lay delegation,
it will be necessary for a majority of the adult
members to vote next June in its favor, also for
three-fourths of the members of the Annual Con
ferences to support it. It can be consummated by
a vote of two-thirds of the members of the Gene
ral Conference of 1872. Not one of the official
Advocates opposes it; some of them favor it, arid the
unofficial Methodist press is strongly committed to
it. The Southern Methodists have already adopted
it.—The cheapest Methodist church in the coun
try costs $5O ; the dearest s3oo,ooo.—There are two
churches valued at $200,000 and upward, and 860
at $lO,OOO and upward. The average value is $3,-
566. Of the remaing 10 816 churches, none are to
be valued as high as slo,ooo.—The Methodist
churches of Boston have organized a Woman's
Board of Missions.—Dr. Porter, late of the Book
Ro'orn, has been appointed one of the Secretaries of
the National Temperance Society. He lost the
former place through his bitter hostility to Lay
Delegation.

Unitarian..—Rev. F..E.,Abbott of Dover, N. H.,
having from the pulpit, renounced the name of
Christian, the More',orthodiik minority have sued
out an injunction` to debar him and his followers
from the use,of the church property. The, Supreme
Bench .of the State, in granting this,• states that
the present wardens of the society, "and all other
wardens and members. of said Society, are jointly
and severally, strictly enjoined and forbidden to

.-z--Rev. Robert Laird Collier, preacher in Chicago,
lately created a sensation
,by preaChilng a sermon
on " The Folly of Converting the Jews.' , The ser
mon called out.a warm letter of approp•alfroni Mr.
Adolph Moses ' a son of Abraham, .whid rejoiced to
see that' a, "Christian minister manffilly dares to
lay,his bands on the Orthodox cliurdh edifice to
hurl it into a shapeless mass." " ; We can under
stand each other fully, while we retnaill . Jews and
you worship as Unitarians. The Messiah in whom
we believe is the mission of the Jewish people—its
beauties are just budding into resultsl" •Mr. Col
lier's church is called "The Church of the Mes
siah."
.-Itev. J. F. Wareof Baltimore, says: " I cannot
help smilitig sometimes` at the enthusi stic way in
which we were, told that the South were waiting for
our ideas. It never was harder to inak Unitarian
ism welcome at. the South than it is to- y." Rev.
Samuel G.-Osgood, D. D.,.pastor of th Unitarian
Church of the Messiah, New York Ci reigned
on the 21.4 Hid.. on acCOunt of ill • h ltli.The
Universalist of Boston says to 'umbels of that
body ; ",Always go to a Unitarian in prpference to
an orthodox church, if it be one where
,the gospel
is re?eivedaa the word - of God. It it be;one of the
Frothingharn, Potter, Abbott, Cliakdick stripe, go
to an orthodox church in preference, every time.
We are a Christian Church, We have nothing in
common with those thatreject chrqt." Other
Univeisalist papers endorse the advice.

Romanist. —Rev. J. W. Rogers, the late Tennes•
see convert from Ritualism to - Romanisin, has been
lecturim , c' in Chicago in defence of the Church of
Rome. Arguing reply.,to the argument whiCh
asserts that the most enlightened countries are
Protestant, rather. than Catholic, he says that outs-
is not a Protestant country. "The Constitution
does not call it such. Nearly nine men•out of ten

A Romish Missioninthe Pacific.—&n English
officer, who has recently visited Easter Island in
the Pacific, relates that he found there threeßoman
Catholic priests, who had exercised a most whole
some influence on the man-eating inhabitants. The
first priest came alone, abOut three years ago. As
soon as he landed. he was robbed,. and was to hale
been kille.d and eaten,
_but the chief interfered, and
choie to haVe him for his slave. The next who
came was 'a Frenchman, and a most resolute look
in.. man, with a very powerful and determined cast
of physiognomy. The moment.he landedthey crowd
ed down and endeaVored to 'stone him, hat he got
near them and struck the first fellow he came across
such a blow with his walking staff as to Stun him
on the spot, then walked unmolested through the
crowd of swarming savages, now thoroughly cowed,
and Since that he has never but once been molest
ed,'but has them well in hand 'On the *whOle. Of
course, the first thing he did was to procure the lib
eration of the other priest, and the two have im
pressed on the minds of the people the idea; that i
they kill and eat either one or the other a ship will
come and destroy them.
