4615 lit (fur etrurrijrs. Rev. George Du f field has resigned the charge of Galesburg church, Illinois, and is engaged upon a life of his venerated father. The congregation have passed the following, preamble and resolutions in consenting to the dissolution : Whereas, Rev. George Duffield has seen fit after mature deliberation to ten der his resignation as pastor of this church, and Whereas The church and society with whom flir four years he has been asso ciated have finally concluded, after pray erful consideration, to accept' his resigna tion, so far as we understand for sub stantially the same reasons as those which have induced him to offer it, and to unite with him in asking for a dissolution of the connection between us; therefore Resolved, In view of the severance of the relation of pastor and people Which has so long subsisted between us, and which we seriously believe has been greatly blessed to the good of the Church and our common Master, and to the conver sion of many in our midst, and to the spiritual growth and edification of indi vidual members of the Church, and to the cementing of a spirit of fraternal union among Christians of other denomi-' nations in this place ; that we part with, him with reluctance and regret, and we hereby express to him an unabated con fidence and love, and our admiration of his magnanimous, unselfish, and kindly Christian course and bearing among us as a tenderly loved pastor and Christian minister. Resolved, That, as in the past, so especially in the present' emergency , it apparent that a disinterested regard for the good of the Church and of the' so ciety has been the controlling motive which has determined his continct, and that wherever Providence in inserntable wi,clom may guide his footsteps, our prayers shall follow him, and that the scenes of trial as well as of ji , y and Christian communion , through which we have together passed, will never'be for gotten by us till' memory shall cease to do its office. The Presbytery of Milwaukee 'met in stated meeting in the Calvary church of that city on Tuesday, the 20th inst. Rev. C. Stevens was chosen Moderator. The meeting was unusually full and interest ing. Reports were received from all the churches, from which it appears that there has been a steady progress.. Every church but one has.been supplied with the stated ministrations of the-Gospel. One German church in MilWaukee has been organized, as the result of a mission established in that city a few months since, under the charge of Rev. William Ellers. This mission nieets a want that; has been long and deeply felt. Mr. Ellers has labored assiduously, and amid many discouragements. •But he has the satisfaction of having gathered a hopeful church of eighteen members, with a small but increasing congregation, and an interesting Sabbath school. He has succeeded in securing largely the confi dence of the Christian community. The three American Presbyterian 'churches, Old and New School, have rented a hall for the temporary use of the mission, and there is strong confidence that the en terprise will be a success. Rev. Jacob Post, D.D., presented a letter of dismission and recommendation from the Evangelical Lutheran Synod of New York, and was received as a mem ber of Presbytery. Rev. Edward Graham was received by letter from the Presbytery of Guelph, C. W. On Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock Presbytery took up the subject of "Basis of Reunion," referred to them by the late Assembly. After a deeply interest ing interlocutory conference of members from the two branches of the Church pre sent and others, prayer was offered' by Dr. Candee, Rev. Mr. Elliott, and Rev. Dr. Burns, of Chicago, after which the vote was taken, resulting in a unanimous ap proval of the Basis', when Presbytery and the congregation united in singing "Praise God from whom all blessings flow." Wednesday evening Presbytery install ed Rev. Mr. Graham over the Calvary church. A large congregation was held for nearly an hour in almost breatliless still ness under a sermon by Rev. Di:, Burns, of Chicago. Rev. Dr. Buchanan, of the North Church, gave a- very impressive and able charge to the 'pastor, and , Rev. Mr. Eddy, of the First church, gave the charge to the, people. On Thursday, evening Presbytery closed- a . session of unusual interest byinstalling Rev.-Jacob Post, D.D., over' the Firie Holland church of that city. Rev.-Dr. Birhanan preached the sermon, Rev. Mr, Eddy gave charge to the pastor r and Rev. C. B. Stevens, of Manitowoc," the charge to the church. The services throughout' were able and interesting. Both of these brethren have entered upon fields of much promise. G. W. ELLIOTT, S. C. THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, AUGITS T 5 ; 1869. —Death of John C. Clark, of Dela ware. This well known and faithful elder of St. George's church, the up right citizen, the diligent and success ful farmer, the friend of every good enterprise, and the consistent Christian whose memory will be fragrant for years to come, died suddenly in his 71st year, at his residence, on Thursday night, July 28th. Almost his last act was to give to the erection of a Church, and his last words in reply. to an expression of anxiety by a member of his family at be ing alone, when his final sufferings came on, were : " No, my dear; we are not alone, God is with us." Freedmen's Agent —The Rev. Walter R. Long, for some years a very efficient agent of the New York Freedmen's Com mission, has been appointed, by ,the Pres byterian Committee of Home Missions, an Agent for their Freedmen's Depart ment.to present the cause and solicit con tributions in the State of New York, out side of New York and New Jersey. tfe will be glad to co-operate with the pas tors of the churches of • this section in this work. He may be addressed at No. 126 State St., Albany, N. Y. ' ' eitg giattin. —Vernon Church, Fratikfcird, Rev. J. Ford Sutton pastor, gives encourage ing signs of progress. Its edifice, erected • mainly by the widow and beirsrof the la mented Baldviin, in fulfillment of his benevolent intentions,,is one of the best built and inviting, externally and in ternally, of any. An air of marked neat ness pervades all the arrangements. The material is the gneiss on which.our city stands; the style, mixed Roman and. 'Gothic; dimensions, 42x80 feet; the in terior finish is pure white ; the - pews are in imitation of oak, with crimson upholstering. There is an organ gallery with a good instrument, and a room be [math for infant school and , Library. The main apartment is used for a Sun day school as well as for preaching. The congregations are encouraging in size and intelligence. They join heartily in the singing. There is Also a good Sunday-school, with 150 members, of which the pastor is superintebdent. None are more interested in Church and Sunday-school than Mrs2Baldwin. The location of the Church is in every 'Way good, and it is an enterprise 'called for by the spiritual wants of this large and growing population. Mr. Su• ton is ab sent during the current month, but ser vices are well sustained, morning 'und night. -0/a Pine Street church, in the absence of the pastor, Dr. Allen, keeps up two Sabbath services, the old Sunday 'fight prayer meeting ; of course, being one. This is, - and long has been, a prominent feature of the services of the Church, and is supported with undi minished interest by the young people. The hot summer months do not great ly lessen the attendance nor deprive it of its life and power. An occasional letter from the absent pastorrgives it addi tional interest. —Rev. Charles Knox, of Bloomfield, N. J. is supplying the pulpit of the First Church - . The two congregations of the First and Clinton St. churches unite in the services. —Hon. G. D. Coleman, ft 'member of our State Senate from Lebanon County, has presented a lot of 'ground at the, corner of Front and Pine Streets, Phila delphia, (where stands the mansion in which he was born,) to the Pennsylvania Seamen's Friend Society, for the erec tion of a substantial, editiee, as a ,home for sailors and seamen. Thb society are trying to raise 820,000 for"ihe purpose. —Two zealous young lien under the direction, and by the advice, of an earnest laymen of the Protestant Episco pal .Church, have opened a mission school in South Darby, near the ex treme South-western portion of our city. They began their work on Monday, July 13th and "by Friday, they had visited all 'the houses South, and East of the old Chester Road. Here they met with many families belonging to, the So ciety of Friends. All of these, with the exception of,two or three, refused tracts. The Roman ,Catholics rye them:. a similar reception. ; The last-named sec, have established a convent, a short dis tance .South of, old Chester Road, and , not far distant. from Darby ,(town.) There is a school attached, where many Protestant children, are sent to, be edu cated, and who are forbidden by the managers of the institution to attend their respective chuiches on Sundays. In this section, the._ Protestants are in a respectable majority. Thus far these . Home Missionaries have been very suc cessful." —Rev. A. B. Atkins preached his last sermon in Christ church; Geiman town July 24th. Mr. Atkins has been* rector here for fifteen years, and has seen the parish grow and flourish under the mutual efforts of himself and of a band of zealous and devoted Christian laymen. He leaves it now in a state of high and established prosperity, and bears away with him the esteem and affection of the people, nor have appro priate tokens of their regard been want ing or withheld. —We learn from The ['roof Sheet that the terms on which Dr Rush left .his estate to the Philadelphia Library Company are not such as to make it de sirable fur the Company to accept the bequest. The conditions laid down in the codicils to Dr. Rush's will are such that the strict compliance with them would merge the old library in the new branch, while the original will was not so worded. The city will not lose by the re:usal of the Company to accept the bequest :is Henry J. Williams, (the executor) is authorized to erect a separate library if he should see fit. Dr. Rush gave him verbal directions to erect it on the lot at Broad and Christian Sts ; (300 x 527 feet, on which part; of the purchase money had been paid before his death. It is not to be expected that the Phil adelphia Library. rich in old literature beyond any 'in the country and . with a ,history reaching: back almost to the days .of Penn,-wilt hand over its tress ures„and sink its identity to erect .a monument to Dr. Rush's family. . —A gentleman has offered-A litte for the new University buildings at Olney, near the northern boundary of the' city, This, however, is too far away 'from the centre, as our University relies largely, if not mainly, on the patronage of parents who prefer to have their sons reside, at home while attendiPg on oollege. `A site on North Broad street ,would' (it seems to us) answer best; oi'—as the'.Sehuylkill will .in twenty years run through the centre of-the city—One in West _Phila delphia. - —The spire of St. Clement's church, Twentieth and Cherry streets, is ordered by 'the proper municipal authorities to be taken down. It seems to have been built in a very slovenly and unworkman like manner, hifge cracks appearing in its walls. An attempt• wasinade to re pair it, but proved too perilous to the masons to be prosecuted: We hope that the original contractors will have to pay the expense. —The Rev. 0. Schroeder, who came to this county" , from Germany only a few months ago has taken charge of the small St. " 'church, -belonging to the Missouri Lutheran Synod, located on Carpenter street, below Fifth, Phila delphia. The pastor was ;recently in stalled' in his olfwe by the Rev. Mr. Steuiken, 'who came for this purpose all the way from St. Louis. None of the Philadelphia ministers, of either wing of the Church. English .or German, were present at the installation—most likely for the want of an invitation. The ex cletuistn of the Missourians, it will be seen even in Philadelphia, is post rigd. -Presbyterian. Thos.'l4: Cunningham having announced his decided purphse to accept the call to the First church- of San Francisco, the Alexander congregation have reluctantly acceded' to his request for a dissolution of the pastoral•relation ship, and voted to raise $l,OOO, as a parting token- of their regal for him. —The North American claims that Philadelphia 'stands foremost among the American cities, in the proportion of American ,vessels and' ton hage engaged in the foreign trade. This, arises from the. large number of smaller vessels, brigs an schooners, engaged in short foreign voyages. All the increase of foreign steamers at New York' has not destroyed this supremacy. Philadelphia holds her own firmly, and her foreign trade is as brisk as-ever. If the figures of the North American are correct, our commerce is fast rally ing from this war depression. In four years since the close of the war, our for eign commerce has in tona. , e 2,724,4'23,- 24 tons; and by the end of this year it is confidently anticipated, that we shOuld have fully recovered all that was lost; and be again ahead of all nations in our mei , cantile . marine. It is now 5,7.24,76615 MISSIONARY ITEMS. . gentleman, who • :has recently visited Ceylon, gives .the following de •scription of the oldest living missionary of .the; American Board :. The Rev. Dr., Spaulding is ; still at his work ; though now sev,enty-six years of age. He spends Awn days, in a week with: a Bible Revision Committee, working from =morning till night, and. not 'infrequently . attends a moonlight evening meeting, preaching an hour after a day's work. I. drove out with' him,on one of these evenings, ten miles. re held meetings in two places, returning for our tea at ten o'clock; and, after a good night's sleep; he was not the worse for work .the next day. He looks older than in 1853, but retains his, vigor wonderfully. Nrs..Spaulding, -though now seventy-two years of age, 'has her class of girls on the house verandah, as in younger days. Dr. Spaulding went to Ceylon in 1819. Forty-nine years of work in the ministry is as much as most 'men enjoy in a cooler climate."—N. Y. Observer. —The following curious story is told by a writer in'the Calcutta Christian ln telligencer : wA Chinese of some influ ence had :a 'sick 60:1. He made costly offerings to a certain god with a view to his child's recovery. But all was in vain,—the child died. Hertupon the father filed a bill in court, charging the god with a breach of contract. The ease was duly tried. This idol was brought into court. The father pleaded that he had done every thing that the ritual re quired of him in order to propitiate the deity; but, through some strange per versity or inability. the god had failed to perform his part of' the contract. The god had no way of re%utting the evi dence. Judgement was accordingly given against him, and he was forthwith expelled the prOvinee!" certbin Mollah recently preached before the Sultan, during the Ratnazan, against the iron-clads as the work of G-iaours," and unauthorized in' the Koran. The man was allowed to expend himself; but the next day a firman or dered him off to Broussa, for the benefit of his health, and his successor has dis creetly held his peace. —Rev. Dr. S. K. Brown, a mission ary for many years of the Refbrmed FDutol - i) Church in Japan, and Rev. G. . Verbeck, an American missionary 'also, have been'appointed Masters of two schools which the government of japan have determined to establish for the ed ucation .of the ruling class of that -im portant people. These -schools will be `located at Yeddo and Niigata, and as the two brethren appointed ; have accepted, add Will immetliately set themselies to the work, there can be, no , doubt of the most"important' results. , —The thirty-eight converts' and their associates, at Be-iita, West Africa, the fruit of six year" toil by missionaries of the P. S. Board,• have commenced with much enthusiasm, the work of church erection, by their own efforts.' —Progress is cOnstantly being made `in . the South American Republics, in the direction of religious liberty. A Presbyterian church was dedicated in, Bogota; by American 0 S. Missionaries, March 28th, and crolds attended, include. ing, the Governor of' the State, a member of the Supreme Court, Congressmen, etc., The Roman Catholic Vicar-General has been constrained to come .out in open: condemnat on of the violent-and threat -ening publications against the. Protes testants, and to proclaim that the wea pons of the Church " are found within the limits of Gospel charity, and that in' order, to ward off anti-Catholic doctrines she employs only truth and kindness. and persuasion." A dispatch from Valparaiso, dated July 3d, says of Chili :—The law passed, . by the last Congress by which tolerance of other religions was allowed in the republic, has begun already to show its effects. The law, strictly speakitig, does not recognize religious liberty, but comes so near to it that it might very well be designated a- aolistinction without a dif ferenee. We have already a Protestant church and a Lutheran one in Valpas raiso. And during_ the past . week a Protestant chuich has been opened and Divine service' celebrated in Santiago. .14.rge numbers of highly respectable Chilians of both sexes '"attended the opening ceremonies. They were - well pleased, so much so that they .several times applauded the Rev. Mr. TruMbUll in his sermon. -The Board of Foreign Missions of • the other branch disbursed for various administrative objects, viz :—Two secre taries, one treasurer, two clerks, for post age, fuel, taxes, insurance : and"care of the Mission House, for library, binding, stationary, &c , the sum of $12,8•44. That is, out of the $338 390 received during the year, the, sum of $325,546 were employed for evangelistic purposes; or out of . every dollar contributed for missions. 3f cents covered the whole ad ministrativ,e work of • the Board. The total Tor a ll the objects specified, including the salaries of officers and clerks, is not as much as some of the .conipanies and institutions of the country pay to a single, executive officer, and not as much as it costs to meet the expenses of some one of our churches in the city of New York.. ' --For many years after the English had seized the territory of the 'Cape of Good Bope, the natives, especially-the athletic and intelligent Caffres, :made vain endeavors to recover their lands. Millions • of , pounds sterling were ex pended, and some thousands of lives of British subjects lost, in exterminating war upon these- patriot savages. But no peace; no security, no diminution of ex pense, and loss of life, was secured: About 1855, Sir eorge Grey, then British Governor of the colony, adopted a new- policy. He issued a government proposal to expend $150,000 a year, for the support of Christian Commissions among these unconquered tribes, pro vided that 'the various Missionary Soil t e7 ties -would expend on Missions among them an equal sum. For many. years fifty-fold that expense had been in curred in slaying the Caffres and ray- aging their country. Sir George rightly judged that the introduction of the Goa pel would - Pie a cheap proees4, both ai to life and money; and, much more, an effectual tranquilizer, such as years of war had failed to be. The proposal of Sir 'George was not fully adopted; but Missions were established, and have wrought a huge change. —The Pope has enlisted the Paris doctors inlthe great eriterpriie of con verting the world to Ultra-Mont.risin, by main force. That is, he has ordered one of his ministers to address a circu lar to the meinbers of the medical pro fession of Paris, enjoining them to re fuse attendance to patients who are dan- gerously ill and who have not confe-sed within three days of their first visit. This charitable epist'e has actually been dispatched. —A. very interesting and quite re markable scene was witnessed in the South Church, on a late Sunday, when the venerable Rev. Dr. Brown Emer son, now in the 92d year of his age and the 65th of his ministry, his two sons, Rev. Dr. Daniel H. Emerson of Phila delphia. and Rev. Edward B. Emerson, of Stratford Conn., and the junior Pas tor, Rev. Edward I. Atwood, stood up together in the, pulpit to unite in the singing. The services were conducted by. the three younger clergynien. Some eight or ten of the aged pastors' now widely scattered family were also among the congregation, having casually met in a summer visit to the old home stead —Salem Register.

The type is clear, the paper good, and the whole book is attractive. We offer it for sale and hope that it will be speedily introduced into our Sabbath-schools. The Pieface to children's Praise says :-- 'I he-title of this little volume clearly ex presses its design. We deem it necessary only to ititte, pregentiiig it to the youth and Sabbath Schobls of the Church, that our purpose in its compilation has been most sin cere, to'exclude from it all those objection able pieces which have found their way into so large a proportion of similar collections ; and to comprise the beat among the great number of popular hymns and tunes in pre sent use, in our Sabbath Schools.
