Query— What are trial sermons for? —We understand that the Applefons have offered Rev. Dr. Scott, of New York, a large salary to take literary superinten dence of one department of their publish ing house.—Pacific. —The Irish Presbyterian Church have resolved to establish a mission in China at Fuh Chang. Money has been raised for one year, and Rev. H. Waddle and J. M. Hunter, M. D., have been set apart to the work. —Rev. Albeit J. Winterick has taken charge of a German mission•field at Carl stadt, New Jersey. —A Commission of the Presbytery of New York, appointed to investigate the charges brought by the African Civiliza tion Society last October against the Rev. Henry M. Wilson (colored), and tried in April, find that the same are not sustained. The Commission consisted of Dr. S. I. Prime, Dr. Chapin, James Brown, Henry Day, and Mr. Mason. —A Ministers' Bureau is opened 654 Washington St., Boston, by Rev. Dr. W. M. Cornell.

When I menthe Synod of _Nash ville I told them we had a hunched and sixty candidates. At Memphis I said a hundred and sixty-five. At the Synod of Mississippi I said a hundred and seventy; at the Synod of North Carolina a hundred and eighty; and after my arrival at home I became convinced that there were two hundred. People said that I was over estimating the number, and I issued a cir cular of inquiry. The answers developed 138 candidates under the care of the Pres byteries; 71 studying, but not under the care of the Presbytery ; 9 detained from study from the want of means, and 27 de bating the subject of the ministry. In all, 245 ; and since I have arrived here I have heard of five more, making in all 250 young men looking forward to the ministry. Churohes.—A Sunday-school class of Chinese has been organized at the church in Vallejo, Cal., and about twenty pupils secured. Including the Chinese laborers at South vtaloje, the Celestial population of that city numbers at least two hundred. —A church was organized at Bunker Hill, N. J., June 16th, by a committee of the Presbytery of West Jersey. The cor ner-stone of a building for the use of the new church was laid at the same time. —A. mass-meeting of the churches of Cincinnati was held recently at the Second church, to hear from the commissioners of that vicinity to the late General Assem blies, with special reference to the subject of Re-union, and to give expression to such resolves as the occasion might calf forth. The only remarkable point in the resolu tions of approval was a pledge to make the year of Re-union a year of Jubilee.— Rev. C. L. Thompson of the First church tell down an open hatch-way on the occa sion, and was badly hurt. —Prof. Hitchcock is talked of for the Central church of Boston. This would be an excellent arrangement. He is a very able and popular preacher.—Zion's Herald. Revivals.—The 0. S. Narrative of the State of Religion sums up the following marked cases of religious revival in their churches: "In the Presbytery of Lon donderry, three of the churches have been specially blessed ; the church in Boston having received one hundred and thirty two on profession of their faith within a few months. In the Presbytery of Zanes ville, forty-five, forty, thirty-Lair, twenty seven and twenty-six have been added to five of the churches. The Central Pres. bytery of Philadelphia report an average addition of twenty-seven on examination to each church. The Presbyteries of Long Island, Huntingdon, West Jersey and Ca tawba, while not naming the numbers ad ded to heir churches, indicate widespread and powerful manifestations of the Holy Spirit. In the Synod of Missouri, fifteen churches report an average addition on profession of faith of over fifty persons to each church. The Presbytery of Wash ington names seven churches, of which each has received over forty. The Pres bytery of Madison has been greatly blessed. We extract from their report the summary of a 'remarkable work of grace in the borders of the Bethel church 'Seventy-eight were received into the church; of these, seventy were baptized during the meeting, showing that it was a direct inroad upon the world. Among.the converts there were only one or two as young as fourteen years ; while there were eleven grand parents, thirty-three parents, thirty-five females and forty-three males.'" Educational.—At a late meeting of the Trustees of Center College, Ky., it was de termined to elect a President and four Professors in June, and start the Institu tion in September with a full and able Faculty. Prof. G. Beatty the only Pro fessor now in the Faculty, in order that there might be no embarrassment_ ten dered his resignation, which was promptly rejected. —A. re-union of the old students of Delaware College and Academy will be held at Newark; on the 25th of June next —the centennial anniversary of the char tering of the institution—to revive interest in the College in view of its early re-open ing tinder its new orgahization.'

Those for the statue of Beranger amounted to $12,080 in a few days. THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, JU NE 24, 1869. OTHER DENOMINATIONS Congregationalist.—Rev. Jonas King, Missionary of the A. B. C. F. M. in Greece, died May 22d. He was called to the work nearly fifty years ago while in Paris, pre paring to occupy a chair in a New Eng land college, and went first to Jerusalem. He has lived to win the respect and share the hospitality of men who had persecu ted him, and to see the work of Evangeli zation in the hands of his converts who are in the employ of the Am. and For. Christian Union. —Mr. Healy of the Am. Miss. Associa tion gives his version of carrying over three churches in New Orleans to the Con gregationalists. It seems that they were "no man's land," churches organized by ignorant preachers out of negroes of an ignorant and degraded type who had no recognized form of marriage, and prac tised infant baptism as well as immersion. The F. W. Baptist papers express them selves satisfied, but the explanation does not release Mr. H. or The Independent from the charge of publishing a very disingenu ous statement in regard to the progress of the Cong. policy in Louisiana: —Dr. Manning proposes that old South church in Boston, shall use its surplus funds in aiding needy churches, and em ploying the senior pastor in apostolic la bors among the churches. —Dr. Storrs of Braintree, Mass., (settled in 1811) has so far recovered health that he can preach, but asks his people to call a colleague and successor. —Rev. S. R. Nott, who graduated at Andover in 1812 with Gardiner Spring and Dr. S. R. Storrs, and went out with Jud- son, Newell and the first missionaries of the American Board, died June let, in Hartford. —Prof. E. A. Park, of Andover, sailed for Europe June sth, and will spend the summer in England, Germany and Switz erland for the benefit of his health, which has been impaired by overwork. —Rev. George H. Gould, for the last five years pastor of the Centre church in Hartford, has resigned his charge on ac count of " the impaired and precarious condition" of his health. —Rev. W. T. Eustis, Jr,, late of the Chapel St. church, New Haven, Ct., was installed pastor of the Memorial church, Springfield, Mass., June 3d. Nearly fifty churches were represented by pastors and delegates, and among then , was a delegate from the Episcopal church in Westerly, R. I. —The First church of Washington, which so recently dismissed one hundred members with Dr. Boynton, has just re ceived thirty-two new ones to membership, and has 1,300 children in its three Mission schools. Among those who have united with it is the colored man whose former application caused the whole disturbance. —The Illinois General Association was as usual a good deal of an M. A. S. Dr. Beecher essayed on Amusements. The various decrees on Tract Societies, the American and Foreign Union, &c., which have appeared in the columns of the Ad vance, were rescinded. It was, of course, told with many notes of admiration, how fast " the churches" had grown in the 6tate. —The. Ohio Association has given the cold shoulder to Oberlin's appeal for aid for its Theological Seminary. —Dr. Hawkes of Cleveland, goes to the church of Marietta. —Bev. John Kimball of the Freedmen's Bureau goes back to labor on the Pacific coast. Episcopalian.—A New York court has before it a suit for the property of Trinity church. The prosecutor claims that its rights to property given by citizens of that State, are forfeit because it no longer re spects the ends for which th ey were given, but devotes them to other 'ends,—the rec tor having (like Dr. Ewer) declared Pro testantism to be a failure, and the Trus tees (as is charged) having leased some of the properties to keepers of houses of ill fame, whereas the funds were given it as a " Protestant Episcopal " church, and tor the promotion of religion and good morale. —The Rhode Island Convention votes to raise the costs of prosecuting Mr. Hub bard by colle•ztions in the churches, but not to ask his church to contribute. They refused to pay the counsel for the defence. —The clergyman whom the assistant Bishop of Indiana censured for attending the performance of the '' Black Crook, " has appealed to the Diocesan Convention, and is sustained in this course by his large and wealthy flock. Baptist.—The Home Missionary Socie ty has been promised lands for churches along its route for the location, by the Pa cific R. Road, and has sent out a com missioner for the purpose of selecting the sites. They propose to visit also the im portant cities on the Pacific Coast. —The Kentucky churches raised over $lO,OOO for the support of 38 'Home Mis sionaries last year, who preache4 2,835 sermons in the bounds of the State. —The mission in the Swedish province of Dalecarlia is the' scene of a great revi val. In one village over a hundred have been converted. In another place the Lutheran parish church was opened for their services. —lt is argued by The Central 'Baptist from the way in which missionary books have dropped out of Sabbath-school liter ature, that the missionary spirit is on the decline. This is not the tact in regard to the Sabbath-school literature of our own and the Congregational churches. Lutheran,The General Synod of: the South has never been united with the Northern General, Synod, and one of its ministers, at the meeting of the (High Church) Synod of Penna. proposed a un ion with the General Council. A speaker said : "The Southern General Synod bad six Synods connected with it, in North and South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, and Virginia. They had been driven out of the old General Synod, and had formed a separate organization. They had prepared a Church hymn-book, which was similar in its main features to that prepared by this Synod. The poverty of the people was very great, The prospect of an early union between the Pennsylvania Synod and the Southern Churches (he thought) was very favorable. A strong tide of Ger man immigration was setting in toward the South, and, if the Lutheran Church was true to herself, the time was coming when she might be, the Church of the State of Virginia, where, , her recent pro gress has been greatest."' —The 'Penna. Synod reports' com mencement of four houses of worship, and the completion of several. The Trustees of Penna. College at Gettysburg have re jected (without specified reason) the Sy nod's nominees to the German and Frank lin professorship, the former of which was founded by Synod before the division, and the latter largely endowed through its ef forts. Muhlenberg College at Allentown, with 198 students was taken into connec tion with Synod. Romanist.—The Pope is carrying things with a high hand in Germany. A Rector has been removed by his order from the head of the Catholic Faculty at Tubingen, and when the venerable Bishop of the dio cese protested against the Papal measures as utterly uncanonical, he received a re buke from the apostolic see couched in language so bitter and humiliating that he died of a broken heart. We were disposed to think well of Pius IX. personally, but this last business shows him as devoid of heart as we knew him to be destitute of brains. —ln 1867 mostly in the West Provinces of Russia, 13,639 persons were received into the Orthodox Greek from the Romish (or " United Greek ") Church. In some instances entire communes went over with the priest at their head. Government management effected these conversions ; yet the Czar is said to be quite friendly to the Pope, and to offer, on certain condi tions, to permit the Romanist bishops and clergy of the Empire to attend the coming council. —The veracious Father Buchard in are cent lecture at Grass Valley, said that Calvin died swearing and calling on the name of the devil, and that Melancthon said to his dying mother, when asked in what religion she should die : " The new religion is the most convenient, but the old religion is the most secure ;" and that Luther said when he became a Protestant he could not restrain the most irregular and hurtful lusts.—Paces. —ln honor of the Ecumenical Council, to meet Dec. Bth, the Pope has issued "letters apostolic," granting a plenary in dulgence to all "the Faithful" "and re mission of their sins as in a year of Jubi lee," if they will offer certain prayers, or make a pilgrimage to Rome. —Canon M'Neile, not the best authori ty in the world, claims that while one third the population of the British Islands was Romanist in 1801, only one-sixth is so now. —Bishop Rosecrans offers to have per petual mass said till the end of the world for all persons who shall contribute $25 for St. Joseph' Cathedral, Columbus, Ohio; or the benefit of the mass may be applicable, at the option of the donor, to any other person, living or dead. Unitarian.—Zion's Herald Bays " The Congregationalist and Unitarian ministers of Massachusetts, for the sake of a few re mainder biscuit of a fund for worn-out preachers, have one united gathering annu ally. They listen to a sermon, and dole out the driblets of an antiquated and almost empty purse. Two years out of every three the Orthodox speak, and the third the op posgte. wing. Why Baptists and Univer salists are not adontreit to -- the - DaPPy family, is not said. If all old parishes are represented, then the Universalists bhould claim seats ; for they picked up some waifs in the storm and shipwreck of Church and State in the last generation. The First Parish of Malden is a Univer salist society, and its pastor could better claim a seat in this body than the new men of the new churches, Orthodox or other. This queer compound this year+ voted, on motion of Rev. E. E. Hale, to write a reply to the Papal Invitation, and Revs? Messrs. Hedge, Blagden, Clarke, Parkes, and Quint were ordered to prepare it. The Pope could make an exquisite re joinder to that answer if he were disposed." —Rev. Mr. Hepworth has accepted a call to Mr. Osgood's church in New York at a salary of $lO,OOO. He is the most popular preacher of his denomination in Boston, and his loss will be severely felt by them in their theatre and special as semblages. His school for the ministry will probably dissolve on his departure.— Zion's Herald. Swedenborgian.— The denomination (a. Universalist paper notes) "are not ma king numerical progress, any more than Unitarians or Universalists. In three States they have ordained but one minis ter in six months." —Rev. Woodbury M. Ferrald takes the pastoral charge of the church in Laporte, Ind. Mr. F. was originally a. Universal ist, and since becoming a receiver of Swe denborg's doctrines has gone even farther in the Low Church or Liberalizing move ment Ingun by the late Prof. Bus, than has Mr. Barrett of this city. They are both independent of the New Church Con vention. Jewish.—The Liberal Rabbis Adler and Einhorn invite the whole Jewish min istry pf the country to meet in.Conferenee for the'diseussion of the order of worship and doctrines of the body.
