tie c ompletion of the main audience
~,,.) 111. which it is hoped may be ready
or.ctipancy in about 7 months. To
ward this object John A. Brown, Esq.,
through the City Church Extension
crutnittee, has given $5OOO, and prom
ised $5OOO more; both of which sums
are in addition to the $5OOO previously
contributed.
The Sabbath-school is very prosperous
also. A few Sabbaths ago its second
anniversary was held, when the mission
ary offerings of the classes amounted to
more than $360. On the evening of the
late Thanksgiving Day the ladies of the
congregation gave a supper for thebenefit
of their "Mite Society," at $1 a ticket.
They seated at their tables more than
600 persons; and as nearly everything in
the way of turkeys, etc.,—of which there
were 60—had been given them, they
realized as their profits $525. On the
next evening they supped the children
—to the number of 700—free It ought
to be mentioned also, that from the start,
this Church has made it a matter of
principle to take up collections for all
the objects of the General Assembly.

—The South-western Church held its
lisual yearly festival on Thursday eve
nin.•, when the lecture room was crowd
ded by the members of the congregation
and their friends. Addresses by the
pastor, Rev. John McLeod, who presi
ded, and , by Messrs. Culver, Malin,
llotchkin, Adair, Wm. 0. Johnston, R.
E. Thompson and others were interspersed
with more material, if not more substan
tial or attractive fare. Frequent refer
ence was made to Mr. M-Caskie, their
first devoted pastor, and to the early
trials of the Church now happily risen
to influence and prosperity. They are
now building a parsonage on the lot
North of the church. In Mr. McLe
od's temporary indisposition, the pulpit
is supplied by our associate, Mr. Robt.
Thompson of the Reformed Presby
terian church.
THE EAST.
—ln May, 1868, the McDowell Sab
bath-school was established by the
sprim , Garden Church, in memory of
Dr. Jan McDowell. It has lately be
come an independent Mission, and regu
lar services have been commenced in the
hall, on Nicholas-street, near Ridge
Avenue, back of Girard College. This
is the first movement towards a church
in this part of the city, which has been
made by Presbyterians.
—ln the recent German Reformed
Synod, the Philadelphia Classic was en
joined to institute measures to secure the
property of the Market Square church
in Germantown. This is a church which,
with its pastor, Rev. Jacob Ilelfenstein,
in revolt from the Mercersburg influ
ence, was transferred to us at least
twelve years ago.
—The interior of Olivet Church has
just been frescoed, and some other im
provements made, a large fine organ
placed in the church, and the exterior
of the lecture and school-room building,
adjoining the church, entirely renova
ted. With all these expenditures, the
church is now nearly free from debt of
any description, and the congregation is
growing, and active in every good work.
On Sabbath before last the church
was reopened after the renovation. The
sermon in the morning was preached by
the Rev. Mr. Taylor, the pastor, and in
the evening by the Rev. Dr. E. E.
Adams. In the evening several of the
ministers of the former Old School
branch were present.
—Trinity Church, on Franliford
road, in the north-east part of the city,
has a debt which must be paid in a few
weeks and the church building finish
ed. I
t will trot be possible for the
small flock worshipping now in the Lec
ture room to do so much, and they call
upon their brethren for aid. The church
is a beautiful structure so far as comple
ted, and is in a growing neighborhood.
—ln the South Church, at the last
communion, fifteen persons were added
to the membership, representing ten
families, nine of which had not previous
had any of their members on 'the com
munion roll of their church : Eight of
them were heads of families, and a hus
band and wife were baptized together.
A Pastoral Letter from the Session of
the church was read at the close of the
services, calling the members of the
church to a higher consecration to
Christ, and to more diligent and earnest
labor for the salvation of the impenitent
and careless.
—Rev. tip. A. Kerr, of Easton, has
been called to the Market Square church
of Germantown, Philadelphia.
—Early in the Summer the Presby
terians of Pine Run, Saltaburg Presby.
tery, tore down their old church, and be
gan the erection of a new one. On the
last Sabbath of November a tasteful new
church was set apart to the worship of
God.
—The Banner has the names of two
gentlemen, each of whom will be one of
one thousand to give a $lOOll each, for
the establishment of a college or univer
sity somewhere in the West, to be un
der the control of the General Assem
bly, as a memorial of the reunion of the
two branches of the Presbyterian
Church. [The Reunited Church has
two many colleges and " universities"
by half, so that it is no matter of regret
that the above proposal will come to
no thi ng.]
—The church of Renovo, Pa., has de
dicated a new house of worship, after
raising $llOO at one subscription to
to free it from all debt. A long and
hard struggle is thus crowned with
victory.
—Rev. D. K. Richardson, of Bryan,
Ohio, has been called to the Middle
Spring church, in the Presbytery of
Carlisle.
—Rev. G. W. Newell having taken
charge of the Fruit fill church, his
Post Office has been changed from
Belleville, Wis., to Ansonville Pa.
—Rev. S. C. McElroy of Brooklyn,
has gone to Waahingtonville, Montour
County, Pa.
—The church in Birmingham imme
diately opposite Pittsburg, on the south
side of the Monongahela,-under the pas
toral care of the Rev. P. S. Davies, As
engaged in providing itself with a com
fortable and beautiful house of worship.
The building is now under roof, and the
congregation will soon enter the base
ment. Mr. Davies is doing a good work
amid many disoouragements, in a large
and growing field. We hope that our
people in this city and vicinity will aid
liberally in supplying the means fqr
the completion of this edifice at the
earliest practicable moment. The church
is zealous, active, and liberal, although
it has very little wealth among its mem
bers.—Banner.
—At the 150th anniversary of the
Orange, N. J. Church, some interesting
historical facts were elicited. A cen
tury ago the congregation worshipped
in an edifice known as the Mountain
Meeting house, immediately in front of
the present structure. Some fifty-six
years ago the " Meeting-house" gave
place to the present edifice. The Ne
warle Journal says that " the township
of Newark originally embraced in the
purchase from the Indians the tract
comprising Newark, Orange, Bloomfield,
Belleville, and Clinton. This purchase
extended to the foot of the mountain.
Subsequently the title to the top of the
mountain was acquired by an additional
payment. Fiom this, purchase twenty
acres were set aside for chnrch purposes,
and the Meeting-house' was erected
in 1719, in the sixth year of the reign
of our sovereign Lord, George, .by the
grace of God, King.'"
—Dr. M'Cosh says that the statement
which has appeared in some newspapers,
that since his accession, to the presidency
Princeton College has received more than
$400,000, is an exaggeration. He says,
also, that there have been mistakes, in'
some papers as to the names of the sup
posed donors. In due time, and when
the outstanding subscriptions have all
come in, a full statement will be publicly
laid before the friends of the college. He
adds: "Of the sums actually received,
by far the greater part has been appropri
ated---very j udic io usly-- by the donors, to
defined purposes which they favor; and,
we are at this moment without funds to
carry out necessary and pressing ends—
such as the endowment of the chair of
modern languages,' and dormitories in
which to room our numerous students.
We have made a beginning-only a be-.
ginning—of that system o fellowships
by which we intend to rear a body of
scholars to match those of the old col
leges of Europe."
—There are now 111 students in Prince
ton Seminary-37 in the Senior class, 38
in the Middle, and 36 in the Junior.
Last year the classes numbered, respec
tively : Senior, 24, Middle, 39, Junior,
40—total, 103.
—"We hope the day is not far distant
when the. General Assembly will transfer
its theological seminaries to the supervi
sion of Synods."—Herald and Presbyter
Does this foreshadow a policy for the
introduction of " new measures?" We
trust not. Let us have peace.— Western
Presbyter. ,
—A member of the Congregational
church in Stockbridge, Mass., sends a
check for three hundred dollars as a con
tribution from a few friends in that
church to their old pastor in aid of the'
erection of a Pres. church in Bricks
burgh, N. J.
The church has received other con
tributions from Christians of other de
nominations—one of three thousand dol
lars from R. A. Brick, Esq., who is a
member of Dr. Montgomery's Episcopal
church, New York, and has a large pro
perty interest in the, place. The people
themselves have made great sacrifices
Many of them have been Union officers
and soldiers, and have invested their
small savings in homes in this newly
opened country; all are pioneers of limi
ted means, employed in developing the
various industries of a new community.
They have done all that they can, and
yet lack two thousand dollars in order to
build a neat and commodious church.
Their Sabbath school already numbers
two hundred, and the church is sustain
ing an efficient Mission school in the vi
cinity. The town, begun only three
years since, has already a thousand peo
ple, and our church numbers seventy-five
n e nbers and is growing rapidly. They
appeal for some Presbyterian aid.
PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1869.
—Feeshnrg, 0 , is considerably com
posed of Presbyterians. A number of
the families belonging to the old church
at Felicity, six miles distant, were or
ganized into a church, subject to the
Itiyley Presbytery (N. S) , which after
ward by its own petition, was transferred
to the care of Cincinnati Presbytery (0.
S.) For a long time it felt unable to
support a minister, and tried to connect
with others. It has now begun afresh
under the ministry of Rev. S. P. Dillon,
who is young and willing to work. The
congregation assembled en masse at the
parsonage one day last week, and filled,
all the cupboards with useful articles.
