TILE NEW HYMN-BOOK.
Our readers are aware that at the recent meet.
lug of the General Synod of the Reformed
Dutch] Church in our city, the consideration
add adoption of a new Hymn-Book was one of
he pieces of business transacted. At first
hero was a good deal of opposition. The new
book was strange', in its very excellencies,—
something quite different from what this grave
and conservative Church had been used to. But
as the discussion went on, the friends of the
new volume grew warmer in its praise and strong
er in numbers, until at last it was adopted with
a surprising degree of unanimity.
By the kindness of Messrs. Barnes and Co.
of New York we have received a copy of this
new manual of praise. It is entitled SONGS OF
TEE Cutiactr, with Tunes, and is• a volume some
what larger than the 0. S. " Hymnal," while not
so large (we think)aa the "Plymouth Collection."
It is printed on tinted paper in type of the Old
English face, i. e. with no hairlines, as in the
Atlantic Monthly. The hymns—over a thou
sand in number—are printed on the same page
with the tunes, which number over 350,,and are
many of them original. The whole is strongly
'and neatly bound and lettered, with a service
able red edge to the pages. The mechanical
execution of the book is in the best style, and
attracts the eye at once.
Of the intrinsic merits of the collection we
have formed an opinion which accords with the
second thoughts of the General Synod. The
_compilers are evidently gentlemen of mature
taste and judgment in matters hymnological.
Nothing could be more clearly marked than the
improvement in this workmpon our , older models.
The more critical judgment, the more Catholic
taste, the wider range of literary knowledge are
easily discernible. The days when Dr. Watts
was the staple, are clearly gone by forever. His
best hymns and the best of his school, are not
wanting here, but the more fervid and eloquent
utterances of other schools occupy a rightful
prominence. There are nearly—if not quite—
as many of Charles Wesley's fervid lyrics in
this volume as there are of Dr. Watts' effusions.
On the whole we would pronounce SoNas OF
THE CHUELOIi inferior to none, and far superior
to most manuals of Christian praise that we have
We could, of course, find fault a little.
Hymns 144 and 164 with some others are too
Moravian for our taste. Hymn 930 is no hymn
at all, and the compilers should have been above
the popular dishonesty of calling the tune
‘‘,America." "Rock of Ages" is not given quite
as Toplady wrote it, the last stanza containing
the absurd alteration.
dg When my eyelids close in death"—
which is j ust what the eyelids of* dead never do.
In this case, however, and in all similar ones, the
compilers give warning that the hymn has been
altered. The old Scottish version of the Cth
Psalm is credited to Hopkins, but should be to
Kethe. Many common errors are corrected, as
that which assigns to Luther the fine Judgment
Hymn by Ringwalden. And on the whole the
book is marvellously accurate and reliable. We
miss some of the latest names, Palgrave occurring
but once or twice, and T. H. Gill once.
The same publishers are widely known for their
educational issues. The last that we have re
ceived is an ELEMENTARY LATIN GRAMMAR by
Prof. Silber of New York, the best and tersest
summary for practical uses that we have seen ;
and bhe THIRD NATIONAL READER, one of their
finely illustrauld series.
The Rivingtons of London, Oxford and Cam
bridge have published the Banipton Lectures for
1867 in a very neat form. The subject; is THE
DOGMATIC FAITH, an Inquiry into the Relation
subsisting between Revelation and Dogma. The
lecturer, Rev. Edward Garbett, is already known
to the Religious public of America by his
" God's Word Written," a very orthodox defence
of Inspiration and Revelation which the Boston
Tract Society republished. He belongs, by men
tal affinity to the Hard Church of which Whate
ley and Thirlwall were the illustrious ornaments.
Like them he is a logical rather than a sugges
tive writer, more skilful in making good points
than in entering into living sympathy with the
thoughts and difficulties of men. This book is
a careful and scholarly survey of the whole sub
ject of the relation of the Christian doctrine to
Christian life and the Christian sntem, but pre
sents no strikingly new or able views. The
discussion is largely historical, the conclusions
of the primitive General Councils being taken
as embodying the Dogmatic Faith of the Church
as derived from Scripture and as underlying the
later Protestant Confessions. If the author
esays no bold flights he makes sure of his foot
ing on the firm rock, and his volume is not un
likely to exercise a most beneficial influence, if
not a very extensive one, on the public mind on
this subject.

-Rev. Dr. Norman McLeod, who was Modera

in Scotland last spring, delivered an extended and
remarkable address. at the close of the sessions,
on the Church at the present time. It is pub-
lished in a small pamphlet by Strahan and Co.,
who have sent us a copy The Moderator is the
most eloquent of living Scotch preachers. The
spirit of this address is favorable to union
among the Presbyterians in Scotland. He sees
difficulties,. great and perhaps insurmountable,
but"he pleads for charity, communion and united
effort, in the hope of closer alliance.
—An English Methodist writes : "In my
judgment, the press in our weakest point, not so
much as to the style and character of our publi

or books, and the Churches around us, and the
outside world, do not know that we have any
literature at all I We cannot get books in the
usual way under a month, and Sunday-school

—The American Bible Society have just
issued a pulpit. Bible, in Great Primer type,
folio page, and in bindings to suit purchasers.
We have no hesitation in saying that for, its bold
broad faeed print, plain and elegant,page, and in
all the best qualities of a pulpit Bible, this mas
sive volume has never been excelled by any
issue from the American press. The price also
is more than reasonable, ranging from twelve to
twenty dollars; according to style. This volume
has beenin course of preparation since 1866, when
it was ordered by the Board of Managers to be
made, not only to meet a, great want, but as a
monument and memorial of the Jubilee of the
Society, which was celebrated in May, of that
year. The greatest care has been to secure
the accuracy and elegance of the electrotype

—When Robert Rrowning's poem .of " Sor
dello" appeared, Douglas Jerrold was recruiting
himself at Brighton, after a long illness. In
the progress of his convalesence a parcel arrived
from London, which, contained, among other
things, this new volume of " Sordello." The
medical attendant had forbidden Mr. Jerrold
the luxury of reading; but owing to the absence
of his conjugal life-guard, he indulged in the
illicit enjoyment. A few lines put Jerrold, in a
state of alarm. Sentence after sentence brought
no consecutive thought to his brain. At last
the idea,crossed his mind that, in his illness, his
mental faeuities had been wrecked. The per
ntspiration streamed from his forehead, and smiting
his head, he sat down on the sofa, crying, " 0 God',
lam an idiot." When his wife and her sister
came, they were amused by his pushing the
volume into their hands, and demanding what
they thought of •it.. He watched them intently
while they read ;. at.last his wife said, " I don't
understand what this man means; it is gibber
ish." The delighted humorist sank in his seat
again, saying, "Thank dod, lam not an idiot I"
—Rev. B. F. Cocker, D.P., of Ann Arbor,
Mich., a clergyman of the Methodist Church, has
now in the press of Messrs Harper Brothers, an
important and elaborate work on " Christianity,
and Greek Philosophy." This book contains the
results of many years of earnest study. Its root
idea is that the entire development of human
thought has been directed by a presiding intelli
gence illuminating all human minds—Greek,
Brahmin, Chinese, Persian, as well as Hebrew
and that, therefbre,•we have a right to expect an
ultimate agreement between the conclusions of a
sound philosophy and a right interpretation of
Scripture. The author attempts to state the de
finite results attained by Greek philosophy, show
ing that the philosophy fulfilled a propmdeutic of
fice for Christianity. In the department of the
ology, it antagonized polytheism, purified the
theistic conception, and developed the logical
pooof of the being of God. In the field of ethics,
it purified and elevated the idea of duty and, as
serted (in Platonism) an immutable and eternal
morality. In the sphere of religion, it awakened
the sense of an immediate nearness and relation
to God, aroused the consciousness of sin, and
made men feel the need of Divine help and grace
to redeem men from sin.

.MISSIONATit ITEMS.
Missionaries in Africa, are cornplaining.bitterly
.of the fast increasing and destructive traffic in
ardent spirits on the coast. A letter to the Edin
burgh U. P. Record says: " The chief cargo of
the Clyde steamers fore the oil rivers, as they are
called, is ardent spirits, and I learn that this is
fast becoming the chief cargo of the mail line
also. The slave trade formery wasted poor. Af
rica,and the flood of fire water' poured amongst
her tribes is now carrying on her destruction.
Our nation, after taking. a leading part in, the
former traffic for many years, at length awoke to
a recognition of its criminality,and cruelty, and
put an end to it; it has yet to awake to a sens 4
of the criminality and cruelty of the latter. The
Hudson's Bay Company,,fi r the protection of
the Indian •tribes of its wide spread territories,
prohibits the sale of ardent spirits to them. No
such law has yet been enacted, nor perhaps can
yet be enacted, for the protection • of the poor
negro tribes. I have not the least doubt but
that there are those in the membership of the.
Church, who have a far greater capital embarked
in this traffic, than the capital contributed by the
benevolence of the. Church for the salvation of
these tribes.

lately been trying to discover the unexplored-terri
tory between Shanghai and British Burmah-or In

Ist of May, 1868, over the Salwen, to the head
waters of the eastern branch of-the Irrawaddy.
hoping in some way to find a route which would
lead him to Promo, nearly eight hundred miles
distant.. At the first village to which he came
on the Irrawaddy he was brought to the chief, a
noble, athletic, and almost gigantic specimen of
the mountaineers of that region. The chief at
once said, "You are a white man. Are you one
of God's men?" Mr. Cooper, astonished to hear
such a question asked in such a place, replied, a lit
tle evasively—he was not, he acknowledged, in any
evancrelical sense, a Christian. The chief went
on to say, "If you are one of God's men, I want
'you to tell me and my'people about God. Some
of my people have heard from white men dcwn
the river about the great 'God, and I want to
know about Him myself, that I may become one
of God's men." Mr. Cooper told him, as well he
could, the general truths of Christianity, though
painfully conscious that he was not himself fit
miliar with ,hem; but the chief did not seem
fully satisfied, and finding that the traveller was
desirous of descending the river, he sent him in
a boat with a delegation of his own people, lib
erally supplying his needs, to Prome, and for
warded an urgent request, both by Mr. Cooper
and his own people, to our missionaries there, to
send him a teacher who could tell both him and
his tribe how they might become." God's men."
—The Government at Pekin has issued a
proclamation in regard to foreigners " propagating
religion" in China, warning all natives, and es
pecially the literary classes, who have been post
ing inflammatory placards, that the work of these
foreic ° mers is protected by treaty, and that natives
who become church members <do so yoluntarily.
The proclamation winds up in • the followin g
practical style : "`From this day let every one
mind his own business, and not talk about things
which are vaiiland to no purpose, but only cause
disturbances. If any bee dare to disobey this
proclamation such person will. be ferreted out and

—ln Japan the. Buddhist priests are unusually
active, itinerating and preaching all over the
country, so much so that they are beginning to
be called Methodists by some who have witnessed
their zeal.
—The work moves forward in Madagascar in
such grand proportions, that one is reminded of
the days of Constantine and the conversion of
the Roman Empire. Like that movement, this
has its dangers, of which the missionaries are not
unaware. One of them writes as follows :
Since the Queen was baptized almost all the
higher officers are coming forward as candidates
fl r l aptism. I have now at Ambohipotsy more
than a hundred under weekly instruction. Among
these are the chief of the idol-keepers, the late
Queen's astrologer , several of the present Queen's
household, the head of the civilians and other
members of the Government, many of whom are
getting quite old men. This great influx of those
who were a short time ago idolaters, and some of
them fierce persecutors of Christianity, is not
without its risk. We are all conscious of the pe
culiar dangers to which it is exposed, but we can.
do nothing more than pursue an open and
straightforward course, faithfully doing our duty
by instilling right principles, directing and guid
-ing as tar as possible the course of events, and
committing ourselves and our work into the hands
of Him who has the hearts of all men under His
control." Last year twenty thousand persons
joined the Christian congregations. The mission
aries expect the same addition, if not a larger
one, during the present year. Everywhere, there
fore, church building is most active, and the mis
sion press has its hands more than full. 100
congregations are looking for help to build either
new or larger chapels. About one-third of the
chapels to be built. will afford accommodation for
from 800 to 1,200 hearers each. A class for the
training of native pastors has just commenced
with twenty members.
—Rev. Thomas Neilson, Jr., writes for the
Edinburg Ref rmed Presbyterian Magazine from
one of the New Hebrides islands, Dec. 26th,
1858, in 'regard to a vessel which "-took away
upwards of thirty natives from this island, and
two hundred and thirty in all from the group; in
one trip, to the Fij is, who were sold into servitude
for three years at £4, 10s. a-bead. It would
thus appear that nearly £l,OOO was cleared in a

in the course of ten : years there will;.not be a

been laid before Earl Clarendon, and assurance
has been given that the mattei• would receive the
earnest attention of •the foreign office.
difficulties:between the Church and
the State in Italy areless pressing than in
Austria, because they are of older standing,
but the clergy, nevertheless, do not, quietly I
accept the nevi order' of things. Four
priests have just been arrested in Umbria
for " exei g to'contempt and violation of
a State law: Their,offense consisted in re
fusing, absolution to all those who had
bought any of the ecclesiastical property
lately sold, unless they agreed to return
the value of theirtpurcliasest to' the Pope.
This course seems, to have had no effect up
on the men, but ,as, the four priests equally
refused absolution to the wives of purchas
ers, grievous trouble soon. arose. One
woman atedipted to commit suicide; others
separated from their husbands, on 'the re

..The American Metho,dist Mission in
Bareilly, India, reported 289 baptisms last
year, giving a total of 665 communicants

Society added 325 to the number of its
communicants in South India, and 616 to
the baptized adults during,the last 6.months,
of 1868 ;, and now has in its 571 congrega-'

1868 the mission of the American Board in
Bernbay received 58 additions, a net gain of
36commanicants, rai.ing the entire number
