—The controversy in the
Theological licininary at Danville, Ky.,
has resulted in the resignation of Rev.
Robert J. B r eckenridge, D.D.; as Pro
fessor of Theology. A committee ap
by the lust 0. S. Assembly, is
pointed
attempting to make a thorough reorgani
zation, Drs. Yerkes and West have also

—Rev. E. L. Patton,Professor in
Erskine College at Due eat, S. C., has
accepted the Presidency of West Ten-
ncssee College at Jackson, Tenn.
—The failing health of Rev. H. E.
Lippert, has made it necessary for him
to retire from his self-denying labors
among the French Canadians at St. Ann,
111. Mr. Andre Changnon, a member
of the St. Ann Church, has been stirred
up, to take hold of• the work; and al-
though without any literary or classical
qualifications, as required by the Book,
Chicago Presbytery licensed him to preach
the gospel, and assigned him to that field
of labor. His strong, good sense, his
naturally acute and powerful mind, his
impressive deli , Aery, Ilia piety, his knowl
edge of the SoriptureS,-and his clear and
sound views of the doctrines of grace, the
Presbytery believed not only qualified
him for the work to which the Master
seems to have called him, but justified
them in granting him a license, though
it had never been his privilege to darken
the door of a College or a Theological
Seminary.—Corr. of The Presbyterian.
-Rev. Charles B. Smyth has been in
stalled pastor of East 11th Street U. P.
church in New York. This congrega-
tion is apparently in a much better con•
dition at present than it has been for
years past.
—At the meeting of the U. P. Pres
bytery of Alleghany, Rev.. W. P. Shaw
was received on certificate from the
Northern Presbytery of the R. P. Church.
—Rev. Loren Thayer, for twenty years
pastor of the Presbyterian Church in
Windham, N. 11., died recently. Mr.
Thayer's first and only settlement was at
Windham, where he was ordained Nov.
sth, 1845.
—Rev. D. Hall, of Mansfield, Ohio,
has received a unanimous call for the new
Second church of Altoona, Pa., at a salary
of $2,500, with a parsonage.
—Rev. S. H. Thompson has accepted
the call to the Fourth church of Pitts
burg.
—Rev. G. J. Porter has left Slating.
ton, Pa., to go to Charleston, S. C.
—Rev. Leighton W. Eckard and his
wife, left Philadelphia September 21st, by
railroad for San Francisco. They expect to
sail Oct. 4th, to China. They are under ap
pointment by the board of Foreign Mis
sions, to be stationed in the Province of
Shantung, in the north of China. Their
ultimate destination is the city of Tung
chow.
Ohurehea.—The church recently or
ganized under the ministerial labors of
Rev. S. Hair, at Plato, 111., was recently
received under the care of the Chicago
Presbytery.- By request, leave was
granted to the South church of Chicago,
of which the Rev. W. W. Harsha was
recently pastor, to unite with the 28th
street Church, a measure deemed neces
sary to strengthen the things that remain
and are ready to die in both churches.
The Occident of San Francisco, says :
Tho U. P. Church has selected a lot on
Mason, between Ellis and Eddy streets ;
and a design for a new house of worship
has been adopted. It has not been decided
how soon work will be commenced; but
from the promptitude and energy ordina
rily displayed by this congregation, there
is every reason to suppose that the house
will be completed before next Spring.
—A petition from Fall Creek, Ohio,
"Congregation for a certificate of good
standing in the U. P. Church, with a view
to a change of their ecclesiastical relations
was granted at the meeting of the Chilli
cothe Presbytery. It is understood that
they will unite with the Presbyterian
Church, 0. S. The reason assigned is
that such a move is necessary to _their
very existence as a congregation, being
few in numbers, and weak in resources.
—The new church in Pittsburg, lo
cated in 8,-.llfield, Fifth avenue, con
tains in its rear wing a lecture room
and infant school, communicating by
sliding-doors. The dimensions of the
church are 63 by 38 feet, and the lec
ture and infant school rooms are 56 by
26 feet. The cost of the building and
furniture is over $24,000.
—The twelfth anniversary of the N.
Y. Fulton street noon day prayer-meet
ing was observed Sept. 23d. Drs. De
Witt and McNair presided, and addresses
were made by Dr. Anderson, Baptist,
Rev. Mr. Sanford; <Methodist ; Dr.
Irenreus Prime, ,Presbyterian, and Dr.
Schenck, Episcopalian. Dr. De Witt
was pttstor of the Old North Dutch
Church, where the services were held,
forty-two years, and Dr. McNair holds
that position at present.
—The city of Troy is soon to have a
ninth Pres. Church. It will be the out
growth of a mission Sabbath school, and

city.

A letter dated Sept.
27th says : " Las% week Wooster Univer
sity received a noble subscription of
Twenty-five Thousand Dollars, for the
endowment of a Professorship, from a
gentleman living in the 'bounds of the
Presbytery of. Columbus. This, with
other amounts received this month, a
little more than makes up the Two Han
dred and Fifty Thousand Dollars which
were pledged to be secured before the
first of October, 1869."
—ln the U. P. Theological Seminary,
at Monmouth 111., there are eighteen
students, and more are expected. There
is also a large attendance of new students
in the College and Academy. These in
stitutions bid fair to have a larger num
ber of students than during any former
year.
—The Junior Class in Union Theolo
gical Seminary at _Hampden Sidney, Va.,
consists of sixteen, which makes it next
to the largest class since the founding of
the Institution. The whole number in
attendance now is thirty-two, to which it
is probable some additions will be made.
—Hanover, Ind., College has opened
with an accessbn of sixty new students,
and the attendance is the largest in
eighteen years. The Faculty is able and
the instruction ample. The financial
condition is healthy and improving, al
though the Treasury, as is usual with
colleges that have served the Church
most faithfully, and therefore deserved
much, is not overflowing. This pioneer
Presbyterian College of the Ohio Valley
has become now the pioneer in furnish
ing Instruction Free to young men of
good character, of all sects, parties, arid
nations.
Presbyterial—LoPnsport 0. S. Pres
bytery, after a unanimous vote on Re
union, appointed a committee to conifer
with a similar one from the New School
Presbytery, if appointed by them, in re
lation to consolidating churches. They
expect to thus arrange in six, and per
haps nine fields.
—Fairfield (0. S.) Presbytery, after
adopting the overture by a vote 26 to 3.
(elders), resolved : " While the Presby
tery approves the Basis of Re-union
sent down from the General Assembly,
we neither affirm nor deny anything in
said overture, except what is contained
in the question which we answer cate-.
gorically : and that so far as in us lies,
we will labor to promote a union in fact,
should one be consummated."
Other Denomitations.
Ciongtegationalisti—The Massachu
setts churches, 504 in number, have
added eleven and lost four since Janu
ary Ist, 1868. They employ 429 pas
tors, and have 172 ministers W. C. in
their field. The membership is 80,057,
two-thirds women. In 1868, 5;467
were added, and the net gain was about
1,800. The Sabbath-scools contain
93,814 children.
—The American Home Missionary
Society has sixty dependent churches
and over 1,900 missionary districts in
its charge. In these seventy four
churches have been organized, and sixty
have become self-supporting within a
year;, fifty-eight houses of worship have
been buikand eighty-five candidates for
the ministry secured. Of the 972 mis
sionaries employed, 564 are in our
Western States and territories.
—Rev. Hiram Mead leaves the Olive
street church of Nashua, N. H. for the
chair of Homiletics at'Oberlin: A house
of worship and a parsonage commemor
ate his pastorate at Nashua.
—The Rev. Dr. J. E. Rankin ac
cepted the call to the First church of
Washington, and has begun work by
the reception of sixteen new members—
six of them on profession. One is a
German deist, a university graduate,
who has traveled round the world, and
who dates his conversion from the Y. M.
C. A. meetings in Washington. He
proposes to go to China as a partial mis
sionary.
—Dr. Boynton's (Second) church
meets in the Y. M. C. A. Hall. His
opening sermon reviewed the past, and
he characterized General Howard's ex
parte council as an ecclesiastical imper
tinence. That of which Dr. Thompson
was moderator and Dr. Quint scribe
[and of which every member was se
lected by himself], gave; in his 'opinion,
a despotic decision upon matters 'on`
which its advice was neither asked nor
desired. He was still opposed to negroes
coming to white men's churches ; but
any charge against his abolitionism, came
with a bad grace from persons who were
never known as abolitionists, till aboli
tionism had become popular, and who
had grown rich in advocating the rights
of the negroes.
--Rev. F. A. Armstrong, for years a
home missionary laborer in Illinois and
Missouri, is prospecting in Tennessee,
with the view and hope of establishing
a line of Cong. churches in that State.
He is a native of Tennessee—of the
same vicinity where David'Nelson and
Samuel A. Rhea were born and reared.
—The churches of Illinois—accord
ing to the minutes of the General Asso
ciation, the reports in which, The Ad
vance says - are "of the imperfect sort
too common with Church officers"—
number 235. These show a membership
of 17,426—an increase during the year
of 947, with 24,289 children in Sunday
school. Fifty-three churches are unsup
plied with regular preaching. Very
many fail to report their benevolent con
tributions, so that the total of $348,563-
.20 really gives no accurate idea of the
amounts actually raised.
—The committee appointed by the
Ohio General Conference at its last
meeting to correspond with different ec
clesiastical bodies with reference to the
question of the better observance pf the
Sabbath, has issued a circular letter in the
hope that it may lead the churches to pro.
test more definitely against the desecration
of the Sabbath ; and more especially to
influence the railroad companies who
disregard the day, and in behalf of their
employs thus deprived of its privileges.
.The Conference protested against the
PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1569.
action of the railroad companies, and
appointed a committee to bring this
protest before the several boards of rail
road directors whose trains traverse the
State.
Episcopaliani—Bishop Huntingdon,
of Central New York, has organized his
diocese into six missionary districts,
with two missionaries for each.
—The Episcopalians are manifesting
wisdom by busily pushing home mis
sionary enterprises along the line of the
Pacific Railroad. They conclude that
this is the time to make an impression if
a religious character is to be given to
these new towns.
—The Bishop of Connecticut instructs
The Churchman, to omit from its dio
cesan news all compliments to himself
or his services. "If they are deserved,
they are needless; if they are not de
served, they are so many falsehoods.
In either case, they are out of place."
—The corner-stone of a college build
ing was laid at Golden City., Colorado,
the 23d. ult., by Bishop ; Randall.. The
site is about a- mile out of the town, on
a ,high elevation, 'commanding a fine
view of mountain and .valley, which
form the magnificent scenery of this lo
cality. Ten acres of land have been
deeded to the Bishop for the purpose of
this school, by a gentleman residing in
the vicinity. The building is to' . be of
brick, and will be 83 by 33 feet, having
three stories.
—The Pittsburg diocese has 3,012

scholars, raises for parochial uses, $77,-
998, and for benevolence, $20,457. It
has 47 minister's and 49'parishes.
—A. movement is on Mt to organize
a colored church in Allegheny city, by
the Rev. B. T. Brooke, rector of Christ
church.
—Bishop Lee; of lowa, takes decided
ground in favor of moderate changes in
the prayer-book, for the benefit of those
whose consciences are troubled by cer
tain expressions.

—"Rev. Dr. Hoyt, in Dakota terri
tory, has collected $2,500 towards the
establishment' of a• first-class school- at
Yankton. The school is in operation,

care, is also a centre for Church work,

cuit of two hundred miles, a space cover

tic church at the East End of London

—The Spare Hour of San
Baptist.
Francisco says :
" The Baptists of North Carolina,
practising free communion, are in a
prosperous condition. Tee churches at
Hookerton and Little Creek, and at
Hook- Swamp, in Wayne county, are en
joying revivals of religion, and have
lately received 70 converts. " The
Spare Hour also states that in another
portion of the South; at the city of Fort
Smith, Arkansas, a New Baptist church,
which welcomes all evangelical Chris
tians to the Lord's table, was organized
the first Sunday in June, under favors.
ble auspices. The pastor, Rev. M.
Pelly, writes that the exclusion of a
member in the old chructi for commu
nion with his wife in a Methodist
church, set in motion the enterprise of
establishing a church which should not
debar Christians from the Lord's table.
He states that further separations will
take place in the churches of the South
upon the communion issue, and that the
days of Old Landmarkism, which does
not rec 'gnizo a pedobaptist as a Chris
tian at the table or in the pulpit, are
numbered.

parture of,. Rev. Win. Hague, D.
