Church at' Newark, N. J.
—,kn Easton paper says.: " Dr. Cat
tell was last heard from at Gothenburg,
Sweden, on the way to St. Petersburg.
He says: We have greatly enjoyed .the
few days spent in Sweden. The gentle
men I have met here are exceed-
it!ly courteous. The Director of 'the
Polytechnic School, and several of the
lending citizens, upon learning the cib
ject, of m 3 visit, at once called upon me.
The editor of the leading daily journal,
the Gothenburg raining, has' become
mueh interested in my mission, and has
made the Coliege the subject of an ex
tended editorial notice.' "
Rev. Thomas Lawrence has been
dismissed by the U. P. Presbytery of
Argyle, N. Y., to connect himself with an
0. S. Presbytery.
—Rev. John Caldwell, - M.D., has
been dismissed by the 0. S. Presbytery
or . Northumberland to the Presbytery of
Wells, (New School.)
—Rev. Samuel Robertson, who died
t Winneeonna, Wis., - Sept.,23d, in the
i7ltlth year of his age, was one of the
oldest ministers of the O. S. Church.
lie graduated in 'the first class of Prince
ton Theological Seminary. He preached
the Gospel for nearly fifty-fivt3, years,
though for the last three or fbur years
he was not able to do much active work.
lie was the father of Rev. H. IL
Robertson, of Columbus, Ohio.
--Elev. John Ekin, D D., formerly of
l'it to burgh, died at Topeka, Kansas, Sept.
29th. About twelve years ago he came
into the 0. S. Church from the Asso-
elate Reformed Church. For sometimeprevious to this, he lad been past6r of
tic Associate lieformed. (hew 'United)
Presbyterian ChUrch,oe Sigtfi Street, in
Pittsburgh. Several years ago he went
to Kansas, where he labored zealously,
amid many discouragement& The United
Presbyterian says : "No man has left
us whom we have remembered with
more respect and affection. In this city
and vicinity there will be many who will
reel his death as that of a very dear
brother."
—Rev. Dr. Joseph .R. Wilson, Stated
Clerk of the Southern 'General Assem
bly, says of his note to the Stated Clerk.
of the 0. S. Assembly, Rev. Dr. MeGill,
on union between the North and South,
"My meaning, was wholly misunder
stood." " I embraced the opportunity to
say to him, as I remember, that there
ought to be no agitation of this subject
by influential' men on either side—now
or at any future tim'e—fer the reason,
among others, that such agitation would
serve the purpose of 4 damaging' our
Church in the South."
—Rev. Thos H. Amos, a Missienaii4
the 0. 8. Board in Liberia, died, July
10th, at Monrovia, when he was pastor
of the Presbyterian Church. He grad.
uated at Ashmun Institute, and went
out to Liberia some ten yeais'ago.
—The Second church 5.,) of A 1..!
bany, N. Y., in accepting the 'renew.
tion of Dr. Sprague, after forty years of
se: vice, resolve, That; as an expressiop
of our affection and esteem for our
venerated pastor, a provision for his fu
ture support be made by annuity, or
otherwise securing to him the' slim . of
two thousand dollars yearly during his'
lire." • •
ohrohes,—The new and' handsome
edifice of the First Reformed church of
Williamsburg, situated on the corner of
Bedford avenue and Clymer street, was
opened to public worship recently.' The
ground for the above edifice was broken
two years ago. It, extends on , Bedford
avenue seventy one feet, and along Cly- ,
mer street 110 feet. It is constructed
of brick, with Ohio stone trimmings,
and will seat 1,500 persons. The cost of
the building, was about $125,000.
—We should not be surprised if one
of the reasons why some of the Reform
ed (Dutch) Church in 'New York city are
opposed to union with Presbyterians is
because they are a little purse proud.
They are rich, and are growinc , richer
daily. They rented the old church in
Nassau Street for a post office, and for
many years drew a rent of $30,000 per
annum. Then• they sold it for $250,000,
and bought six lots in'Fifth Avenue for
$30,000, which are worth • $200,000.
They also bought, about thirty years
ago, four lots in Lafayette Place, on
which they also built a church. For
these lots they paid $lO,OOO. They now
ask $400,000 f and will probably get
their price.—Presbyter.
—There is a revival of religion in the
Church of Thyatira, Concord Presby
tery, North „Carolina. Preachina con
tinued for eight or nine days, and about
forty-five persons were added to the
church, while others are still deeply con
cerned. The paitOi and friends of re
ligion are greatly encouraged. Thyatita
is under the pastoral charge of Rev. S.
C. Pharr, D.D.
Presbyteties,—The Presbyteiy of
Brazil, South America, votes No on the
Basis of Reunion, We can only account
for this by the fact that Brazil is a slave
State. Some of that 'Presbytery would
be more at home in the Southern Gene
ral Assembly•—Presbyter.
—ln the Presbytery of Louisville E.
P. Humphrey, D.D., W. C. Matthews,
D.D., J. L.McKee D D an 4 H
- - z
Allen, (the latter Editor of the Western
Presbfitoqtril at Louisville,) voted against
the Basis of Union. In the Lafayette
Presbytery, Missouri, Dr. W. L. Breck
inridge, George Miller and J. H. Clark
voted in opposition, and also presented a
formal protest against it.
—The Presbytery of Baltimore, after
considerable discussion, accepted the
Reunion overture by a vote of 23 to 12.
—ln the 0. S. Presbytery of Colum
bus, 0., Amanda church, where the
Presbytery met, and the Cross Roads
church, in a neighboring town, and be
lono6inc, to the Pataskala Presbytery (N.
5.,) presented calls for the pastoral ser
vices of Rev. Wm. Galbraith, call)
for a portion of his time. These are
wo small weak and churches, neither of
which have been able heretofore to sus
tain the regular 'ministrations of the
sanctuary. But by thus uniting their
forces, with a third contiguous point,
where it is expected to organize a new
church soon (whether 0. S. or N. S. is
not said,) an important and promising
pastoral charge is formed. But how
,vas
the brother to be installed over an 0: S.
and N. S. church both at the same tine ?
It was concluded to install him over the 0.
S. church with the understanding that
he serve the N. S. church a portion of
his time, andlold'their call in his hands
.until that "good time coming."
—West Lexington Presbytery, one of
the three that yote "No " on Reunion;was
organized in 1779 of six ministers and
six ruling elders:, Its last meeting 'as
sembled four ministers and five rating'
elderS, and the Stated Clerk thus de
scribes part of its field :
"..After leaving Lewis, Greenup, and
Boyd counties, on the Ohio River, and
passing south and then west until Pu
laski county is reached, there is not a
single Presbyterian organization or
church. This territory embraces some
twenty-five coune.es, nor is , there a
Presbyterian minister in these counties
except Rev. J. C. Bayless, in Carter
county. Many portions of this large
territory are morally destitute. The
American Bible Society, in its work, has
fonnd in some of these counties fifty and
even seventy-five per cent. of the fami
lies entirely without the Scriptures.
There are communities where there, has
been no preaching of any kind for tiven
ty years. Families have been found
with children grown and married in
whose houses there never was a Bible or
Testament. The people generally are
wicked, but impressible, teachable, and
hospitable. They are liberal for their
means, for they are poor."
—The officers of the College and the
Theological Seminary at Princeton are
mostly menibers of the Presbytery of
New Brunswick. In the, vote on the
Reunion of , the Presbyterian ,Church,
taken last week in that body, the officers
voted-as` follows
ForßeunionL 2 -Rev. President 11' Cosh,
Profs.' Atwater, Mcllvaine and Duffield,
of the College, and Profs. Green and
Moffat, of the Seminary.
Against .Rezmion—Rev. Dr. Hodge,
of the ,'
Rev. Dr. Magill, of the Seminary, is
not recorded' inc the vote, nor Dr. Mac
donald, pastor of the Ist church. Rev.
Mr. Finney, of the 2d church, voted for
the union. Dr. McLean, former Presi
dent of the College, voted against the
union, as did Drs. Grossman, Taylor,
Nassau f and Neill, and two elders. The
vote stood ' 28' for Reunion and eight
aeuinst; it.
—Lafayette ,(M0.,) Presbytery had
urgent requests from four places for the .
organization of churches, and one new
church was enrolled.
--In the U. P. Presbytery of Xenia,
0., Rev J. R. Boyd, Moderator of Pres
bytery, having,receive.d a certificate and
forthed a connection with the o.'
Pres. Church, another was elected to'
fill out his term.
—While the U. P .Presbytery of Phila
delphia will, not submit to, the last As
sembly's action on Secret Societies as too
Connemaugh Presbytery de
nounces it; and calls fora crusade against
it as. too lax. It charges that it substi
tutes a new article for that in the Testi
mony, and prevents, the exclusion of the
members of other societies than Masons
and Odd Fellows. Clearly there are two
families in one house.
A correspondent of The Presby
terian says the General Assembly, after
the union of Old and New School, will,
consist of about 600 Commissioners ;
that it will be necessary to diminish the
number, and suggests that they shall be
appointed by the Synods instead of the
Presbyteries. [To reduce the ratio of
representation would he to change the
,Assembly to a Committee. Even with
six hundred members it would not be as
large as some secular deliberative bodies
The British Parliament contains 670.
The Irish Assembly cannot be much
less, as every one of the 450 ministers
has a right to go and take an elder.
Nor are the Scotch Assemblies small
bodies.]
—At the meeting of the Presbytery of
Luzernethe Second ehureh of Pottsville
again appeared in Presbytery by an elder.
The right of this elder to a seat • in Presby
tery was challenged ; and lifter a pro.
traded discussion, he was admitted to
his seat, under protest of a minority;
and a commission of Presbytery was ap
pointed to meet a similar commission
from the Third Presbytery of Phila
delphia, to settle, if possible, all ques
tions involved in this whole matter. This
" church " is a Secession from the old
Second church of Pottsville, which
united with the First (N. 5.,) church with
the consent of Presbytery. The se
qeding faction made representations to
Presbytery a year ago which led them
PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21,
o restore the Second church's name to
is roll.
—The Besbyterian reckons 75 0. S.
Presbyteries as voting in the affirmative
on Reunion, to 3 in the negative.
Synods.—When the 0. S. Synod of
St. Paul was erected in 1860, by order
of the General Assembly, convened at
Rochester, it was alleged, by many un
favorable to our Church, that Presby
terianism would not flourish in that lati
tude. Emigration flows in parallel lines.
New England sends out its colonies to
possess the, opening regions of the North
west. Therefore, Congregationalism
claims Minnesota by the right of pre
etupion:- But Presbyterianism has
grown rapidly, and occupies all the cities
and laroe towns in Minnesota, and has
planted°,churches far out on the prairies,
and album ° the remotest,frontier. The
Synod of St. Paul, as it ranks the fifth
among the Synods of the General As
sembly in respect to benevolence, stands
equally high for uotiring zeal in every
department of, Christian effort.
=The Southern-Associate Reformed
Synod haS been in session. The disin
te,gratory which was introduced
and fostered by the agitation' Of the
Union question for the last fifteen years
has become less active, if it has not
subsided, 'except in the direction of the-
Kentucky Presbytery, which is at present_
negotiating with the Gene'ral Assea'ibty
Presbyterian Church, and may ulti
mately unite with that body. The Sy
nod is quiet upon the subject of Union
at present, and looks in no direction
with that cibiject in view:"
--The U. P; Synod of New York, ex
tending from 'Philadelphia into Canada,
has been in session in New York City.
The statistical report shows one dissolu
tion, and two organizations, of churches,
three licensures and four `dismissions to
other , churches-4PM., McLaren, D.D.,
and Lafayette Marks toithe New School,
H. W. Todd and Thomas Lawrence to
the Old School--three receivtd from
other churches—viz : . J. A Devine from
the Old School, and. C. B. Smyth from
ftte Associate Reformed Church, and G.
M. Clark froni the church of the Lower
Provinces. Eight churches (one of
th - eth the IX.th ,Philadelphia,) are, build
ino• houge;'of worship, and five studentS
of theology are: under care. The, New
burg' Seminaiy-wai the bone,of conten
tion. The Church has two *colleges and
four theological seminaries, three of
them in Western Synods. Newburgh
is a monument of the difficulty in the
way of laying aside superfluous ma
chinery after Reunion. It has only two
Professors, Dr. Harper, who resigned a
Church in New York to take carge,
and Dr. Dales of this city, who receives
only his travelling expenses, and wants
to-resign. Last year there was a student
to each professor, and an endowment of
$15,000 or over to educate them. Nearly
all of this is from a church in New
York.
Other Denominations.
—Rev. James Kent
Episcopalian,

College. at Geneva, N. Y., DENIES,
through Rev. Dr. H. C. Potter, of Grace

"renounced the tenets of the Protestant
Episcopal Church," or become a convert
to Romanism. Dr. Stone is a grandson of
Chancellor Kent, and was formerly Presi,
dent of Kenyon College in Ohio.
—An Episcopal clergyman informed
us, a few days ago, that five bishops, of
the Protestant Episcopal Church 'are
prepared to unite with the clergy of, the
Evangelical party in forming a • new,
church organization.—Observer.
—Last week the Board of Missions
met in New York. The repOrt on Do
mestic Missions showed that $132,000
had been contributed to the Treasury

beyond precedent, the deficit amounts to
$19,875. For Foreign Missions $88,341'
have been given, and the Treasury ac
knowledges a deficit of $10,927.
—The seventeenth anniversary of the
founding of the church for deaf mutes,

D. During the preceeding year $13,-

City fiattin.
—Rev. ?Ir. Fleischman , n of. the Bap.
tist church having died recently, in this
city, a movement has• been started to
provide for his widow. The National
Baptist says: 44 We learn with much
pleasure that only two hundred and
fifty dollars are needed to complete the

the faithful and beloved Fleischmann
will have a home, rent free, during life.
The croperty will eventually be applica
ble fbr a similar benevolent purpose."

The ,- Treasurer's report was' presprkted,
showing ipts for the ,ysarf• amounting

_Dur
ing the same period the Society distributed
526,434 tracts printed in English ; 90,-
723 in German, and 1,503 in French.
They likewise distributed among sailors
and watertnen along the Delaware and
Schuylkill fronts 39,333 tracts, in differ
ent languages, and 996 religious books
and 96 Bibles donated to the destitute.
During the year 207 persons were per
suaded to attend church, 171 children
were gathered into Sunday and day
schools, and 212 persons were induced to
sign the pledge.
—The corner stone of the Messiah
vangelical Lutheraq Church, at Six
teenth and Jefferson streets, was laid
two weeks ago in presence of a large
number of persons. The building will
be constructed of Trenton . brown stone,
and will cost about 660,000. It will
measure 58 feet front, 102 feet in
depth, and 70 feet from the foundation
to,the apex. The lecture and Sunday
school rooms will be on . the first floor,
an d will each accommodate about 500

—A meeting, was held recntly in the
First, Baptist Church, Broad and Arch
streets, to devise plansfor aiding the Home
lately established for the benefit of aged

at a former meeting ~to devise plans for
raising $30,009 to aid in paying for the
building and I:urniture purchased for the
,HOrne, and to create an endowment fund,
reported that they had succeeded in
raising 0,640 towards this object. The
building which has been purchased for
the accommodation of , the needy inmates,
is in Forty-fifth street, above Haverford,
and cost $12.000. It is not intended
that the recipients of this charity shall
be exclusively of the Baptist faith, but
deserving persons of other denominations
will also be allowed d'shelter. 'The pres
ent accommodations are for fifty persons,'
but the extensive groUnds surrounding
the present Structure, afford an oppor
tunity for an enlargement, which will be
made as soon as the funds can be raised.
