Ministerial,—Rev. Philip Schaff, D.
D., was co unnissioned last spring to visit
the Evan;relieal Alliance in Europe, and
make a rrangements for the General Con
ference of all the branches of the Evan
gelicai Alliance throughout the world, to
be held in America, in 1870. Dr. Schaff
has returned from his mission, and a pub
lic meeting was held in New York, to
hear the report of his mission, on the 4th
of November.
—Rev. Ebenezer Halley, Jr., son of
the Rev. Dr. Halley, who was formerly
pastor of the Associate Reformed church
in Salem, N. Y., and for many years since
has successively been the pastor of Pres-
byterian churches in Troy and Albany,
has received a call to the pastoral charge
of the Seventh Street church, Cincin-
nati, 0.
—At the meeting of the Londonderry
Presbytery in Litchfield, N. H., Oct. 26
—27, Rev. James Richards, now laboring
with the Congregational church at San.
ford, Me., was admitted to membership
by a unanimous vote. Fourteen years
a g o he was deposed from the ministry for
intemperance, by the Presbytery of New
Orleans. He now makes full acknowledg
ment and expresses deep sorrow, with a
declaration of thorough reformation. Full
and explicit testimonials, were presented
of his strictly temperance habits in re
cent years.
—Rev. Henry Branch was installed
pastor of the South Reformed Church in
Sew Haven, on the 10th inst.
—Rev. E. B. Raffensperger, Financial
Secretary of the Board of Trustees of
Wilson Female College , has been invited
by the Cohocksink Presbyterian church,
corner of Columbia Avenue and Franklin
Street, Philadelphia, to occupy their pul
pit every Sabbath until the return of
their pastor, the Rev. S. A. Mutehmore,
now in Europe. He accepts.
—The First church of Alliance, has
given a unanimous call to Rev. J. S.
Grimes, of Rockford, 111. Mr. Grimes
planted this church the first• year of his
ministry, and has accepted the call to .
return.
—Rev. Alexander Sinclair, of the
Presbytery of Philadelphia, has received
and accepted a unanimous call to the
church of Titusville, Pennsylvania, at a
salary of $3,000 and a parsonage.
—On Sabbath night, Oct. 16th, the
Rev. Dr. D. 11. Emerson was installed
pastor of the Eastburn Mariners' Chapel,
Philadelphia.
—Rev. Joseph S. Thompson, a colored
minister, who was educated at the Lin
coln University at Oxford, Pa., and or
dained by the Presbytery of Philadel
phia, has been received by the 0. S.
Presbytery of Nashville. Mr. Thompson
has the charge of the Columbia Mission,
and his intelligent, prudent, and diligent
attention to the duties of his station is
securing confidence and success.
Churches.—The Central Church of
Brooklyn,
has engaged a precentor.
—The Welsh Presbyterian congrega
tion (Calvinistic Methodists) at Ports
mouth, 0 , has just completed a commo
dious house of worship. Assistance was
received from the Presbyterian church
of which Dr. Pratt is pastor.
—ln Brooklyn, the Reformed Presby
terians (0. S.) under the pastoral charge
of Rev. J. H. Boggs have erected a
neat brick chapel on the corner of -La
fayette avenue and Ryerson street. The
building cost about $7,500. The society
has about 125 members.
—The Presbyterian Church has by
no means kept pace with the growth of
New York City, nor with the demand.
for their form of worship,, especially in
the upper part of the town, during the
past ten years. The poling of establish
ing mission schools and supporting them
for years in a dependent position, has not
proved beneficial to the Church at large.
These dependencies have acquired habits
which will make them always dependent,
instead of self-supporting and health
fully °Towing enterprises. A far better
method isor the Presbytery to send
forth a young man of ability and ear
nestness, to gather a congregation in a
suitable neighborhood, and when this
has been done, let the Presbytery gather
from its churches the funds needful to
aid the congregation in building a suita
ble house of worship. As soon as that
is done, the congregation will be able to
support the minister and bear the cur
rent expenses of the church, and if the
pastor is of the right stamp, before long
the new church will be a power in the
community where it is placed. There
are examples of the working of this plan
in this and other cities, which prove its
feasibility and advantage.- - Observer.
—There is to be an adjourned meeting
of Peoria Presbytery, to hear from a
committee respecting the organization of
a German Presbytrian church in Pe
oria.
—The church of New Harmony, York
county, Pennsylvania, procured six
months ago, the services of the Rev.
Alexander F. Morrison, of Coleraine, as
stated supply. Soon six persons, most
of them parents, were, upon examina
tion, added to the communion of the
church. On Sabbath, the 17th inst.,
twenty•seve n others, upon profession of
their faith, were received into church
fellowship. This addition was the fruits
of a precious revival. Its, subjects, were,
with few exceptions '
the ,children of be
lieving parents, and had been members
of the Sabbathschool.
—The Old School Presbyterian Synod
of Illinois, in session at Springfield ) re
molved :
That the Synod of Illinois approves of
he proposal to establish a Presbyterian
paper, to be published at Chicago, and
recommends its members to do all in their
power to insure the success of the effort.
We are glad to learn that the agents
are meeting with good success in secur
ing the $5u,000 stock.—N. IV. Acing-
—The handsome lecture-room of the
U. P. church, Frankford, was to be
opened by preliminary exercises on Fri
day evening, and on Sabbath last.
—The Synod of Philadelphia held its
annual sessions in the First Presbyterian
church in Norristown, Pennsylvania, a
handsome and spacious building. The
amount of business before the Synod was
unusually small, one or two judicial cases
of little importance except to the parties
interested, constituting the main part of
it. The Synod having heard that the
Synod of Pennsylvania (New-school) had
adjourned to meet in the Presbyterian
church, corner of Broad and Oxford
streets, Philadelphia, appointed the North
Tenth Street Church (Rev. M. New
kirk's,) as the place of its next meeting.
There 'is room, we think, for at least three
Synods of the United Presbyterian
Church in Eastern Pennsylvania, one
having its centre at Philadelphia, another
with its centre at Harrisburg, and another
at Scranton, or some point in the North
eastern part of the State.—Presbyterian.
—ln the Synod of New Jersey, in
session at Rahway, N. 1., on Thursday,
Oct 21st, some hours were spent in the
discussion of a resolution, declaring it to
be the duty of the minister to advise his
congregation on their manner of voting,
and as to whom among the candidates
asking their suffrages they should support.
The debate upon the form of the resolu
tion was animated always, and sometimes
sharp. As finally adopted it read thus :
"Resolved, That it belongsoo the office of
the pastor to give full instruction to his
congregation upon their duties as citizens
especially in reference to their support
ing fbr offices within the gift of the peo
ple, honest, conscientious, and compe
tent men."
—The annual meetiug of the Declara-
tion and Testimony Synod of Missouri
was held at Palmyra, Missouri, on Wed
nesday, 13th of October, at Palmyra
Missouri. The only question of impor
tance was an overture from two of the
Presbyteries, praying the Synod to take
measures for a union with the Southern
Presbyterian Church, which was discuss
ed at some length. As the result of the
discussion, the further consideration of
the overture was postponed until next
Sy nod.
—At the late meeting of the Southern
Synod of Kentucky, terms for the union
of the Associate Reformed Presbytery of
Kentucky with the Southern Presbyte
rian Church, which had been agreed upon
by the joint committees from the two
bodies, were adopted by the Synod_ It.,
only remains for the Presbytery to ratify
this action to complete the union.
Educational,—The report of the
Directors of the German Theological
School for the North-west, shows the
School to be in a prosperous condition,
under the efficient and hearty instruc
tion and management of Professor Van
Vleit and Tutor Moery, except in the
want of funds, which, of course, they
cannot supply. There are now nineteen
students in this School. Two of them,
one a German, and one a Hollander,
have been received as new students un
der the care of Dubuque Presbytery.
—The Executive Committee of the
U. P. Board of Education issue an ear
nest appeal to the churches to render
the Board such support as will enable it
to assist the many young men of piety
and talent who are seeing the ministry,
but are deficient in means. No student
receives over $l5O per annum, and each
recipient gives a written pledge that if
he does not enter the ministry of the
U. P. Church, or if he voluntarily leave
the same, all money received shall be
refunded, on demand, with interest at
six per cent. per annum.
—We are glad to chronicle some
thing like an epidemic of beneficence
to colleges. Two professorships have
lately been endowed in Princeton .Col
lege, by the donation of $30,000. for
each, the chair of Mathematic's by Mrs.
E. A. Stevens; of Hoboken, N. J., the
daughter of one of its former incum
bents, Professor Albert B. Dodd ; and
anothr chair by a generous donor who
withholds his name. Hon. B. E. Bates,
of Boston, a Congregationalist , has given
$lOO,OOO to th Baptist College in
Lewistown, Maine. Judge R. Fletcher,
of Boston, a Baptist, has just bequeathed
$lOO,OOO to Dartmouth College. Mr.
Orange Judd, of the American Agri.
culturist, has given $50,000 to 'Wesleyan
University, for the erection of a build
ing for the Department• ,of Natural
Science. Mr. Samuel Holmes, of :gew
York, has given $5,000 for the founda
tion of five scholarships in Yale College,
for the benefit of the youth of Water
bury, Conn.—Pres. Banner.
Foreigni—There are forty-two church
es in Switzerland separated from the na
tional church, and organized into a Sy
nod, of Presbyterian forms, which meets
once a year. An American clergyman,
Rev. W. A. Nichols, of Chicago, attend
ed the annual meeting, and bears testi
mony to the general harmony and pro
priety of their proceedings, and the in
telligence and earnestness of the clergy.
Two new churches were organized during
the year, and seven evangelists are em
ployed in forming new stations. Their
theological seminary had sixty-five stu
dents enrolled, of whom sixteen were
French, six Spaniards, one Canadian, and
one Syrian. They have no Board of

The movement in favor of an entire sep
aration of Church and State in Switzer
land is gaining ground in all quarters.
—The late Japanese Congress decided
that Buddhist priests were not to be al
lowed to take any more scholars to train
to their profession. Probably this has
reference especially toward a revival of
Shintoism, the older and purer Monothe
ism of Japan; but the Buddhist priests
seem many of them to believe that it also
points toward a more favorable consider
ation pf Protestant Christianity, and not
a few' are purchasing the Scriptures, so
as to be ready for the change when it
comes. Mr. Cornes, a Pres missionary
in Yeddo, writes that their Bibles are all
sold mainly to Buddhist priests, and
they have been obliged to send to China
for a new supply. In his letter of Au
gust 14, he tells of a teacher in Yeddo,
not a Chrikian, who has sent to him re
peatedly for Bibles and "evidences of
Christianity," which he is using as text
books, and which are studied by his ninety
pupils.
—The Waldensian Church receives
from the Italian government annually,
the sum of 6,462 30 100 francs, which
sum is divided among the fourteen or
fifteen parishes of the valleys, each parish
receiving from 400 to 500 francs.

Brooklyn, which church cost $350,000
instead of $200,000, were sold last week
at premiums, for choice of pews, as
high as $7OO.
—A young clergyman recently made
himself a brilliant momentary reputa
tion in Philadelphia by preaching two
of Dr : Channing's sermons as his own.
—The trial of Rev. 0. C. Tate at
Columbus, Ohio, on the charge of hav
int= a surpliced choir, lasted fbur days,
when the President of the Court an.
flounced that two gentlemen. affirmed
and two denied the jurisdiction of the
Court, and that from a desire to favor
as much as possible the defendant, he
himself (the President) would give the
casting vote against the jurisdiction.
—At the first annual convention of
the Diocese of Easton, Md , a re
solution was -adopted, dividing the Dio
cese into three convocations, for the
purpose of furthering the work of
diocesan missions and church extension.
The Northern Convocation assembled at
Trinity church, Elkton, in September.
The following is one of the articles of
the Constitution .adopted : " The duties
of this Convocation shall include fre
quent assemblage for united worship,
the discussion and adoption of plans for
the furtherance of our common work
iu the service of Christ, and especially
for the promotion of missions within
our bounds."

than he has had the credit of exercising
heretofore, excepting now and then on
some rare occasion or topic."

Another church will soon be at Litch
field, a new town of twenty houses and
stores, two weeks old, on the St. Paul and
' Pacific R..R., 80 miles from-St. Paul.
As ,contrasted with other new towns,
whose first building is often a whisky
shop, it is a favorable omen for the mo
rals of Litchfield that the first building
erected on the town site was a school
house, and that from the first it has
been occupied on Sunday for public
worship. The town proprietors promise
two lots for a church, and a libeial do
nation is expected from the Union to aid
in its erection.—Chicago Advance.

AYER'S
HAIR VIGOR,
F.:r Restoring Gray Hair to its
natural Vitality and Color.
A dressing which is at once
agreeable, healthy, and effectual
for preserving the hair. Faded
or gray hair is soon restored to
its original color with the gloss
andfreshtlas of youth. Thin hair
is thickened, falling hair check
ed, and baldness often, though
not always, cured by its use.
Nothing can restore the hair
where the follicles are destroyed,
or the glonds atrophied and de
rayed: But such as remain can be saved for useful
ness by this application. Instead of f -tiling the hair
with la t
pasty
sediment it will ke..p it clean and vigor
ous.occasional use will prevent the hair from turn
ing
gray or falling off, and consequeniyprevent bald_
nese. Free from those deleterious substances which
make some preparstioes dangertius and iejurious to the
hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If
wanted merely for a
ITACR DIVESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing
neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and
yet lasts long on the hair, givinz it a doh glossy ha
lm and a grateful perfume.

er's Cathartic Fills,
For all the purposes of a Laxative
-Medicine.
Perhaps no one medicine
is 430. universally required
by everybody as a cathar
tic, nor was ever any before
so univrreally'adopted into
use, in every country and
ammg alt classes, as this
mild but eflident purgative
Yell. Tie obvious reason
is, that it is a more reliable
and far more effectual
leemedjr than any other.
Those who have tried it,
know that cu. ed teen' ; those who have not, know
that it cures their neighbors and friends, and all know
that what it does once it does always—that it never
sails through any fault or neglect of its composition
We have thousands upon thdusanitt or certificates of
their remarkable cures of the following complaints, but
such :cures are known in every neighborhood, and we
need n•it publish them. Adapted to all ages and con
ditions in all climates; containing neither calomel or
any deleterious drug, they may be taken with safety
by anyb• dy. Their sugar eating preserves them ever
trash and makes them pleasant to take, while being
phrelY vegetable no hares can arise from their use in
any quantity.
'They operate by their pow-rful influence on the in
ternal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate it into
healthy ..ction—remove the obstructions of the stomach,
bowels, liver and other organs of the, body, restoring
their irregular action to health, and be correcting,
wherever they exist, such derangements as are the first
origin of disease.
Minute directions are given in, the wrapper on the
box, for the iollowing complaints, which thmn Pills
rapidly cure:—
For Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Listless.
mess, Languor and Loss of Appetite, they
shoul I be tareri moderately to stimulate the stomach
and re,tore its healthy tone and action. •
For Liver Complaint and its various symptoms,
Bilious Headache, Sick Headache,
Jaundice or Green Sickness, Billion.,
Colic, and Bilious 'Fevers, they should be judi
ciously taken for each case, to correct the diseased ac
tion or remove the obstructions which cause it.
For Dysentery or Diarrhoea, but, one mild
li dose is generally required.
For Itheuinatism, Gout, Gravel, Palpi
tation of she Heart, Pain in the Side,
Back and Loins, they should be cooties - mu. ly
taken, as required, to change the diseased action of the
system. With such change those complaints disappear.
For Dropsy and Dropsical Swellings they
should be tales' iu large and frequent doses to produce
the effect of a drastic purge.
Fur Suppression a large dose should be taken, as
it produces the desired effect by sympathy.
" As a Zitunei , Pill, hike one or two Bills to pro
mote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action, restores the appetite, and
invigorates the system. lime it is often advantageous
where no serious derangements exist. One who feels
tolerably well, often finds that a do's of these Pills
'makes him feel decidedly better, from their cleansing
and renovating effect on the digestive apparatus.
