—Pencador Church, Glasgow, Del.—
In the third annual , sermon of Rev: Ed
ward Webb, pastor, it was stated that
fifty-six members have been added dur
ing the past three years—forty.four by
profession and twelve by letter; a much
greater increase than in any correspond
ing period in , the church's history. A
slow but steady progress, however, has
been enjoyed during the last thirty
years. This church claims to be among
the oldest in the State. It was organized
in 1706 as a Welsh church, 4,the set
tlers of this section of country, which is
still known as the" Welsh Tract." The
preaching was in ',Welsh for the first
forty years. Gravestones, with dates - as
far back as 1720, are found in the ad
joining burial ground. The careful and
welbmanaged plans of beneficence, inati
tuted by the pastor, and covering the
usual list of objects, have produced . en
couraging results dining the past, year,
especially considering the short.: crops
and the brief training of the' people,
hitherto quite unaccustomed to regular
giving. The total contribute& was $5OO,
an increase of $lOO on the past year.,

THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, SEPTEM BER, 9, 1869.
The aggregate of these twenty churches
is 1,466 ; their average is 73, while the
average of the whole 1,631 churches is
only 6.
As only two of this twenty are in the
West, let us see if our churches have been
wholly unvisited. A church that re
ceives less than fifty new converts in a
year may have been greatly blessed.
The addition to it of one or two score of
souls on profession of their faith, may
be a notable era in its history, and an
occasion of special gratitude to God for it
and in its behalf.
Of our Western churches that give
statistical evidence of having been re
vived, we notice the following :
Ohio, Mineral Ridge, Rev. B. F.
Sharp received on examination, 42 ;
Rev. 'R., H. Leonard, 23 ; Marietta,
Rev. H. W. Ballantine, 45; Nelsonville,
30 ; Newark, Rev. D. Tenney, 25 ;
Granville, Rev. D. E. Beech, 33; Ports
mouth, Rev. E. P. Pratt, D.D., 34 ;
Georgetown, 37; Cetiron, Rev. J. Dela
mater, 48; Cincinnati Third, Rev. IL
Taylor, D.D., 46; First German, Rev. J.
Lichtenstein,29; Indiana, New Albany ;
Third, Rev. C. Hnichinson, 30; MiS- .
haWaka, Rev. J.'D. McCord; 36, 'Wa
bash First, Rev. W. J. Essick, 45; Illi

Chicago Ninth, Rev. A. EddY,33; lowa,
'Dubnque Second, Rev. S. G. Spees ; D.D:
25 Minnesota, Mankato First, Rev. T.
Marshall, 29.
• The average add Wens , to these eighteen
churches are thirty-five each,. This, car
ried throUgh the whole Church, would
bring hp the aggregate from 9,700, the
number reported for last year, t 066,000.
It is by such figure-work as this that we
see what our growth might be if every
church was as earnest as it should be in
trying to save sinners.—Christian Her
ald.
—On the 29th ult. a church of fifteen
members was organized At Manchester,
lowa, by Rev. IVm. Campbell and D.
Rassell. This church is the result of a
few weeks labor performed by Brother
Russell while recruiting, his health on his
" Homestead." It is considered of' Buff:
cieht importance to keep 'Brother R. in
charge of the new enterprize. Both he
and the young church 'have many
friends and are full of hope. Manches

already twenty-five hundred inhabitants.

'The Presbyterian Board of Publication has
issued a collection of Hymns, with music, for
Sabbath Schools, entitled 'Children's Praise.'
It contains 170 pages, or nearly thirty more
than the Sabbath-school Bell.' Very many
of the hymns and pieces of music which are
favorites in our Sabbath-schools, (especially
those in Mr. Bradbury's various books) are
to be found here, and in addition to these, a
number wholly new, 'or selected from recent
'publications. 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 Preface to Children's Praise says:—
"The title of thislittle volume clearly ex
presses its design. We deem it necessary
only to State, in presenting it _to the youth
and Sabbath Schools of the"Cliurch; 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 best among the great
number of popular hymns and tunes in pre
sent use in our Sabbath Schools. In order
,to prevent an entire divorce of the singing
of our Sabbith..Schools from that of our
churches; we have inserted' a considerable
number ofold and standard tunes and hymns
in common use in our congregations."
',Specimen copies will be sent by mail, post
paid, for examination at, the wholesale price
80 and 85 cents: Order a copy for your school.
