—A Commission of the Presbytery of

The Commission consisted of Dr. S. I.

—The five hundredth anniversary of the

—Dr. Baird reported to the Southern
Assembly concerning the prospect of min
isterial supply: Last fall I commenced a
tour of the country to visit the various
Synods. 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.' All 'for
iner students are cordially invited to at
tend. Old students will please send post
office address of all within , their : iknow ,
ledge to Dr. Chas. E. Ferriti, Chairiman of

Voltaire's statue, in Paris, reached the very

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.
