D., the Evangelical Pastor in the National Church of Geneva, has is sued a volume of Discourses entitled, THE SON OF MAN, DISCOURSES ON THE HUMANITY OF JESUS CHRIST, which have been translated with the sanction of the author, and to which the dis course on " The Teaching or Christ," delivered at the dedication of the " Hall of the Reforms tion," September,"lo7, ha's been added at the author's express desire. The' whole forms one of the choicest series of discourses on the inexhaus tible and now especially commanding theme of the personal Jesus, that we have met with. The style is bright and vigoroits, and the vivid aspects in which the 'person and woi4 of the Redeemer are placed, although not exaetly novel, are yet almost staitlino. and corrective of our conventional, eoinmon.place and too doctrinal vievrs,of the : sub, jeet. The author does not wander a step beyond the bounds of evangelical truth, in order to give edat io his speculation& His aim is, by a Me thod which will bear the elosest logical tests, though entirely clear of logical forms, !to lead the honest inquirer to a saving view of thehistorical, living Jesus. We can cordially commend it to all intelligent, inquiring readers. Phila lished by Claxton, Remsen 4 Haffelfinger.. Square 18mo., pp. 311, bevelled boards, red edges. Price $— (BISHOP) THOMAS M.

THE CAMBRIDGE CONCORDANCE. Through the kindness of Dr. George limit ton, we have been made acquainted with another old Concordance of the Scriptures, more valuable and interesting to English and perhaps all read ers than either of the German and Latin ones previously described. It is a copy of what was known as the "Cambridge Concordance," and is a book in many ways remarkable. It is not men tioned in McClintock & Strong's Cyclopedia, al though a far more extensive and earlier ork than that of Cruden. It is an immense folio of about 1,600 pages, three columns to a page, and an average of perhaps 75 citations to a column, or nearly three hundred and fifty thousand citations in all. The title is as follows: " A large and Complete Concordance to the Bible' in English, according to the last Transla tion (a like work formerly performed by Clement Cotton.)

The Report on work among the Freedmen showed that 179 teach ers (mostly colored) are employed in teaching some 3,000 pupils at an average salary of $l7B ;'that 72 churches exist with a.membership of 5;634 perscins,: and with 4,723 scholars in. the Sunday-schools ; and that three High - Schools are engaged in the preparation of teachers: Thel Mission property is worth $66,680. Nearly, 2,000, churches give noth ing to the cause, while 791 churches—together with individuals, contributed in four' years $108,078. One church sent One dollar with the prayers of the congregation. Thus far $195,697 had been ex pended. The deficit had been met by the Govern ment, the Freedmen and the Home Mission Board. Secretary Logan (who resigns, his place) remarked of the Freedmen that on account of their ignor ance, their'prejudices' are stronger, and, he added, among 'them can be found The intehsest Old Schobl men and the intensest New School men that are , met with: anywhere this side of—this side of—. Chicago. ,(,Laughter).. For the coming year $70,000 are to be raised. A resolution authorizin g the employment of Southern Presbyterian clergymen in• this work was reported and, tabled. The Board of Domestic •MiSsions reported that their 824 missiohary' stations and:churehes (80 of them newly organized) received last year 2,792 persons to membership on certificate, and 1930 on examination, and have in all 26,078 members. The 450 MisAcinary Sunday schools have 3,866 teachers and 30,425 scholars. ot the 546 missionaries 139 had not reported. For theyear ending, lifarch Ist; $113,749 'had 'linen ap propriated, aftei the payment of wh'i'ch there was a balance on •hand of $48,338: Of Ithe churches 1200 have not contributed to the 2 Bbarct, and many others gaie trifling: amounts. Action on the snb jest af a- systepiatic, i plan to bring unemployed' ministers and licentiates into work in the vacant 'churches, was postponed till after 'Reunion, but the Presbyteries were advised to keePlicensed students at work in vacation ; and to,see why their church es do not contribute more regularly. The Kentucky Convention's Memorial was answered by saying that as the Declaration and Testimony Presbyteries had joined the Southern Church, and that body had been put on the same footing as the other Presbyterian Churches,'nothing more could be done. The Re port on the Chicago and Danville Theological Semi naries caused the warmest discussion that was seen during the session. The Committee appointed by Moderator Jacobus reported, taking sides with Mr. McCormick and the Trustees of the North Western Seminary, on the ground that respect should be paid to the wishes of liberal dbnors. The' report also requests the three Trustees recently elected by the Direbtors; to resign, and directs the latter to re-elect,the predecessors of, these three. A minor ity RepOrt, taking the part of the Directors, was also presented. On <motion of Senator Drake both were referred to a Special Committee ;of five to re port at the November session. The Report on Danville Seminary took the side of Dre. West and Yerkes and one party of the Directors, against Drs. Landis and Breckenridge and another party, in regard to the management of the institution. Dr. West was requested to withdraw his.resignation, and his salary was increased, he and Dr. Yerkes were chosen Directors ' and a Committee was ap pointed to examine into the state of the Seminary and report at Pittsburg. Dr. Montfort writes : A feeling seemed to be almost universal that all con troversies of this sort should be decided before reunion. The New School are at peace among themselves, and they do not feel that they ought to be involved in our internal troubles, as they must be, if there are conflicts in the seminaries under the con trol of the Assembly. A report of the Committee on Systematic Beneficence, ordering a Pro rate assess ment of the Synods, Presbyteries, and sessions of the amounts needed for the cause of Christ, was adopted after much warm opposition. It was urged that assessment in proportion to wealth was impossible, and in proportion to numbers unjust; that the measure infringed on Gospel liberty, would rouse Presbyterian obstinacy, and was in itself unscraptural. .A paper taking strong grounds on the subjects of divorce and foeticide, and urging the sessions and 'the ministry to suitable action, was reported and adopted. The responsive reading of the Scriptures was discouraged as tending to ritualism. The Narrative notices the steadfast - growth of Sunday:del:tools, -an increasing regard for, _lnfant Baptisin, greater and more systematic liberality, almost universal harmony in the church es, the jpayment" of eliufdli . 'debts and provision for better. houses .of worship ; - manses, &c., and the establishment of mission enterprises in the large cities, and the extensive revivals in almost every PreSbytery. Cu4ent social immorality, the disuse of discipline, thd ;neglect of twiny 'worship,- and the employment of, some 450 ministers, as stated sup plies rather than as pastors, are. specified as draw back's. Dr. Irving (in , reply to ReV.'Witi. 0. John stone) contradicted the:statement. [made bye Dr. 14`Leod in'the R. P.
