Attitude In Prnr.
Although, in prayer the attitude, of the body 1
of much let Importance tbiin the ututo of the
heart, we should not be utterly indifferent with
respect to It. Among the Jews the, ctiftomnry
poMure was rttinding, as will be seen by turn
ing to the 'following; pinM!$on: 1 Kin?, viii,'
2!J; 2 Chron. tI, PJ; Matt. vl. ft; Murk, xi.,
25. The Jews, however, were not conflnod
to the-" standing posture, but when they
would express . humiliation for their sins,
or were more than uunlly earnest in
Bupplkmting mercies, they knelt or bowed
themselves. See Ex. xxxlv, 8; Chron. vl, 13: 1
Kings Till, 54; Ezra Ix, 5: Pun. vi, 10; Ui. xcv, 0;
Matt, xxvl, 8f; Acts lx, 40. These two postures,
Standing and kneeling, ore alike scriptural and
becoming, and are far more proper and seemly
than sitting; which, observes in old divine, "is
a rude iudoeency, except in case of necessity."'
And, remarked BMiop Hall, "I will cither stand
as a servant to my Master, or kneel as a subject
to my Prince." Religious Herald.
Molay (Superintendent.
We once visited a school w here the Superin
tendent seemed very desirous of having, and
made great efforts to have, an orderly school,
and vet signally failed. During the general cx-
jnrclses ho was continually calling for order.
While talking to the school, his lending topic
Jwas "better order," and he would stop at the
lond of nearly every sentence to sny "Hush! and
fret the scholars and teachers continued to con
verse van eacn otner, paying no attention to
What was said. It appeared as though the
Superintendent and the school were striving to
see. which could drown the noise of the other.
It was a perfect Babel.
Now the difficulty evidently was, the Superin
tendent made too much noise himself. If a
Superintendent wishes a quiet school, ho must
avoid speaking too high or loud. There is a
magical power In a "still, small voice." It is
best to say but little about order. If there is
whispering while the Superintendent is talking,
he should stop abruptly, say nothing, but wait
till the disturbance is over, thus showing by his
example that he thinks "it is not good man
ners for two to talk at once." The cases arc
Very rare when this will not have the desired
effect. In these cases it is seldom best to take
any further notice of it at the time, but by con
sulting with the teacher from whose class the
noise originated, something can generally be
done to prevent its repetition Don't talk too
much about order. Sunday School Journal.
SUMMARY OF GENERAL CHI UCII NEWS.
METHODIST.
Rcvl Mr. Krohn, a Methodist pastor, and
n tdy enough probably, lately refused the
au'iount of a donation gotten up under the inspi
ration of drinking and dancing at a tavern.
Grace Church, a magnificent structure just
erected in Chicago, cost $150,000, seating onlv
about 1000 persons. The renting of pews real
ized $100,000. The best pew brought 2150, and
the sale closed at $400 per pew.
The Conference Seminary of the Newark
Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church
is fixed at Hackettstown, N. J., where an edifice
is to he erected to cost $100,000, of which $53,000
are already subscribed.
There are nine colored ministers in St.
Louis Conference, who mingle with their breth
ren on terms of perfect, equality, and the differ
ence in color does not even scorn to be a mutter
of thought. There has never been a ripple of
opposition to it.
jiv reports prcsenieu at tne late meeting oi
the Methodist Conference of New York, there
are 40 churches and chapels and $1,500,000 worth
of church property. The number of conversions
was reported at auuo. ui tne nan million wuicn
it has been proposed to raise for church exten-
ion, $200,000 have been pledged.
The Buffalo (N. Y.I Advertiser says of the
trreat revival in prosrress in that city, that the
accession to the number of professing Christians
is largely composed of substantial, prominent
.citizens, in tue juemoaisi cnurcues tue iroy
.PravinK Band have rendered assistance. The
number of accessions among the Methodists is
estimated at from five to six hundred.
The wonderful revival which began in JNorth
Granville, N. Y., last November, has spread
into adjoining towns and churches, until over
nine hundred have been hopefully converted
and added to the churches of various denomina
tions within a radius of nine miles, and the
Iwork is still in progress. The churches in Gran-
Jville have received nearly two nunarea and
ti ft v: the churches in Whitehall, nearly four
hundred , and fifty: the churches in Hartford,
'nearly three hundred.
The Providence (R. I.) Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Cburch' have resolved that
;no candidate for membership shall be' deemed
'eligible until he shall have unequivocally and
Ifrankly affirmed his abstinence from the use of
tobacco during so much of the time of his trial

The United Presbyterian Church of Scotland
as an annual congregational income of $500,000
noro than it had ten years ago.
The net assets of the Presbyterian Theologi
al Seminary of Chicago are $308,000. It will
lurvlve Mr.'McCormick's opposition.
In ouc of the largest Presbyteries of the
Southern Church the average salary received by
khe ministers belonging to it in the year 1800
Kas $330. In the year 1808 it was $554.
Messrs. William U. Murkland and T. Ed
Yards Converse have been ordained to the full
ork of the ministry. ' The former has received
i cull to become pastor of the Centre Church in
uiniM'riunci county. Ihe latter was a candidate
lor ordination as an evangelist to China.
Ihe Bethel Church, Presbytery of Ohio,
wa organized in 1777. Its present pnBtor, Rev.

CATHOLIC.
The Pope has invited the sovercigna to send
ecclesiastics to represent theui in the General
Council of the Church at Rome.
A floating paragraph says that the Roman
Catholics have appropriated $000,000 for church
extension in the tSonth.
The Emperor Napoleon Is said to be hostile
to the great (Ecumenical Council. The Pope is
displeased with Prance, the last support now left
biin, and lias written n very bitter letter to the
Archbishop of Paris, w hom he declines to make
a cardinal.
In Vienna last year ol Roman Catholics were
admitted to the Lutheran churches, while but 11
Lutherans turned Roman Catholics. In Gratz,
the capital of Styria, 15 Roman Catholics be
came Protestants, and three Protestauts became
Roman Catholics. The Reformed Congregation
at Prague was joiued by 40 Roman Catholics.
Pio Nona lakes immense interest in prepa
rations for the approaching Council. About 1000
of tho hierarchy are to have stalls provided In
the transept of St. Peter's. The Pope lately
tested the receptive capacity of these stalls b'v
seating in one of them Monsignor Teodoli,
dressed in the voluminous viviote. As lie has
attained about the maximum bulk to which a
prelate can aspire, the stalls which proved capa
cious enough for him arc deemed large enough.
Independent.
The Emperor of Austria has lent to the
Museum at Vienna a very flue collection of
church furniture, of the time Henry the Lion
(1194). Tho collection includes specimens of
Byzantine and Cologne enamel, gold vessels,
reliquaries, portable altars and book covers,
ehielly taken from the Cathedral of Brunswick
and the Church of St. Michael at Luneburg.
The Council of the Museum has published a
catalogue, with illustrations of the principal and
most curious of these objects.
The Australian mails bring accounts of the
destruction by fire of St. Mary's temporary
cathedral, Sydney. This is the third timo that
the Cathedral of Sydney has been burned down.
In June, 1805, tho last lire took place, when the
chief edifice was destroyed. The origin of the
fire in the present instance seems to be involved
in mvstery, and at a meeting held subsequently
for the purpose of raising funds to defray the
expense of erecting another structure, all the
speakers seemed to think that it was the
work of an incendiary. The fire was dis
covered about half-past 3 o'clock on the morn
ing of the fourth of January, and in less
than half an hour the building was burned
to the foundations. Tho total loss occasioned
by the fire Is estimated at from 4000 to 5000.
The Archbishop's vestments and the vestments
of the clergy were valued at about 1000, and
fully .i'500 worth more had been purchased since
the previous fire. It is estimated that the tempo
rary structure itself cost .i'JJOOO, and the loss of
the furniture, fittings, etc., is also to be taken
into account. Altogether, the losses arc not
nearly covered by insurance. It is stated that
the magnificent gold cominuuion service pre
sented by the Queen of Spain was not within
the buildingj.and has therefore escaped injury.
LUTHERAN.
The corncr-stono of a new church edifice
was laid at Bridgeton, N. J., on tho 6th inst.
Rev. Dr. George B. Miller, Professor of
Theology in the Theological Seminary at Hart
wick, N. Y., died on the 5th inst. H's thorough
scholarship, sound judgment, and warm piety
gave him wide influence in his denomination,
who have sustained a loss in his removal.
CONGREGATIONAL.
The Rev. D. S. Gregory, of the Third Con-
gregational Church in New llaven, Connecticut,
as resigned his pastorate.'
A London publisher has commenced the
publication in monthly parts of the Rev. Henry
Ward Beeeher's sermons.
It lsT?tated that the Congregational Church
at Normal, III., hat revised its articles of faith
and expunged therefrom all that relates to infant
baptism us an unnecessary stumbling-block to a
class of conscientious Christians.
The Congregational Church of Smyrna,
Mich., has certainly followed a scriptural prece
dent in ordaining as its pastor one of its most
active members, Mr. W. R. Seaver, a business
mun of that town.
The church in Bluehill, Maine, have Invited
tho Rev. J. W. Savage, late pastor of the Bap
tist church in Trenton, but now a member of
the senior class in Bttngor Seminary, to supply
their pulpit one year. Mr. Savage's views have
undergone such a change in regard to those
points which separate Baptists from Congrega-
tiujiausis, timt jic nuw i.uuv rj iiijjiuui.c n uu
his Congregational brethren.
-A remarkable religious awakening has been
experienced among the Congregatioualists in a
rural district near Norwich, uor twenty-six
years nothing like a revival had been enjoyed
in that region, the little church had become
greatly reduced, numbering but four male mem
bers. Two or three converts from an adjoining
town went into their meetings, and talked and
prayed, aud the fire took, and spread from heart
to heart, until the cnurcn and community were
wrapped in its blaze. Children, parents, and
grandparents were converted, and on the first
Sabbath in March eight-three were received into
the chnrch.
The Broadway Congregaticnal Church of
Taunton, Massachusetts, has enjoyed for forty-
three years the pastorate ot Rev. n.. jiaitby, now
the oldest acting pastor in tho State. In 1821
the old church settled into Unitarianism, and a
handful of people went off uud worshipped in a
hall, forming a church of 4 males and 25 females.
Mr. MaltbyV pastorate has extended over nearly
the whole history of the church, his prede
cessor dying after a few months' labor. The
first year a revival added 70 to the church,
aud during his miuistry 500 have been received
by profession and 300 by letter. Three times
have colonies gone off to found new churches,
and nearly 400 still remain. A potent cause
of the success of the church has been the fact
that during all these forty-three years there have
never been in the church any dissension or
alienation of feeling aad no parties. The Sta
tistics of the Unitarian Church, founded in 1637,
from which this church went off, we cannot
give. The Unitarian "Year Book" only gives
the names of the pastors, and this church is
there designated as without a pastor. Inde
jiemlint. It was stated some time ago that Mrs. Lyman
needier s last earthly work was the making ol a
"tidy" for the late fair in aid of the Zenana Mis
sion. That last work of hers has already been
the means oi raising sumeient to support a mv
tive Bible-reader for one year, and to educate a
Hindoo girl for the same time. A lady in
Philadelphia made our statement tho text ot
an article in a local paper, explaining that
strange word Zenana, and introducing tho
reader to the work of the Woman's Mis.
sion, and appealing for aid for the Calcutta
Home lor the twelve Bible-readers aud Zenana
teachers in that city, under the care of
the society. Already $130 have been re
ceived in reply to that appeal, and two
"bands" have been organized as the first fruits
of Mrs. Beecher's handiwork; and how much
more wo know not. Her works do follow her.
The Easter Fair of this society in Brooklyn was
remarkably successful, being the finest exhibi
tion of the sort since the famous Sanitary Pair.
It netted $13,000, with no millings or sales of
anv kind. The money raised is to be devoted to
the Zenana work of the Woman's Union Mis
sionory Society. Our readers who wish to know
w hat this work is, will receive information by
addressing Miss ti. Doremus, care of Doremus &
Ogdeu, New York. This is tin entirely indepen
dent organization, aud the American Board is
doini? the same work by its similar Woman's
Board of Missions Indifendeiil.
IJAI'TIST.
Nearly half the scholars In the Baptist Sab
bath schools of Rhode Island are over fifteen
years of age.
The Presbyterians, Baptist, and Cougrega
tionalists of .lanesillo, WUcousin, have been
holding daily tinlou meetings in connection with
the labors oi Rev. A. P. Graves.
At tho beginning of tho year 1850 tho socond
Baptist church was formed in Newark, N. J. In
1851 the pastor of those churches concerted a
pluu for a city mission, and the result of seven
teen years' labor is seen lu five additional
churches, each having its place of worship, its
pastor, nud its earnest work for the common
cause.
At the ordination of the pastor of a German
Baptist church, in Detroit, the doxology,
" Praise (iod from wbom all blessings now,"
was sung to the tuuebf "Old Hundred," in three
languages at once, English, German, nnd
French.
In Leedsvillo, N. J., according to Bap
tist reports, ' the Baptists were prevented
from holding revival meetings in the public
school-house, on the ground that as
common property the building could not
be used for religious meetings except of a union
character. Wo rcioice to learn that the result
was the prompt erection of a Baptist chapel; so
that every sect can now sit under its own exclu
sive vine and lig tree, without having either to
invade or defend public property.
In London, the increase of Baptist congre
gations w ithin fifteen years has been twice that
of the Independents or Congregationnlists, and
three times that of the Wcsleyaiis a fact largely
ascribed to the Rev. Mr. Hpurgcon's eftorts. Mr.
Spurgcon is an "open communion" Baptist, and
if the British view ol that ouestion prevailed
here, the denomination would have teu times
the moral power It now possesses.
Rev. Dr. J. M. Hiiswell, the veteran mis
sionary, accompanied by his wife, returns tills
week to his work in Burmnh. He first went out
in 1835, visited this country in I84'., and sailed
for the East a second time in 1852. Great
changes have come over the missionary field, as
well as over his own country and himself, since
he entered upon his work, n "third of a century

EPISCOPAL.
Of the 14 Episcopal churches of Boston, 6
nre free churches, anil 3 are open every day.
Tho Episcopalians of Vermont propose to
erect a monument at Burlingtou to the memory
of the late Bishop Hopkins.
The Rev. W. W. Hibbcn, once a Methodist
preacher in the Indiana Conference, has been
admitted into the Episcopal Church.
Congregational singing is to bo a specialty
of tho new Episcopal clrtirch in New York, of
which Rev. Dr. Tlirnll, late of Brooklyn, is the
pastor nnd one of the founders.
Mr. Joseph H. Sheffield is building in New
Haven, Connecticut, at a cost of !H20.000, a home
for aged ladies, a chapel, a rectory, and two
first-class tenement-houses, designed by him as
a gift in trust to the parish of 'Trinity Church,
of which he is a member.
The Episcopalians in Kentucky have inau
gurated a new system of church extension, em
ploying two evangelists to build up churches in
destitute places, and to do much of the work of
a Methodist travelling preacher. A missionary
of the Church Missionary Society has during the
last year organized congregations in five towns
in Missouri, averaging twenty couiniuuieauts iu
each. ,
An act of the colonial legi.-laturo of Jamaica,
pnssed in 1856, allowed for fourteen years the
sum of 28,000 a year to be paid for the support
of Episcopal churches. As the time is now nearly
out, an effort is making to prevent the continu
ance of this charge on the revenues of the island.
In 1805 the Non-conformists of Jamaica had 201
chapels or churches; the Church of England. 87.
In 1806 the Non-conformist places of worship
would contain 138,550 hearers; those of the state
supported church only 08,824. With all its state
aid, that state church has not accomplished one
half of. what the free churches have done.
The extreme Ritualists of England did their
best to make themselves ridiculous aud to identify
themselves with Romanism. Mr. Lowder in
augurated the old Romish procession of "the
Way to the Cross," going around all Wappiug
with a procession of choristers and mourners.
The procession 6toppcd at fourteen halting
places, to remind the astonished crowd of
various points in the story of Christ's way to the
Cross, including the time when n woman wiped
his face with a handkerchief, "on which it had
been said the impression of his features re
mained." On last Sunday evening a public meeting on
behalf of City Missions was held at Rev. Mr.
Tyng's Church, on Forty-second street. New
lork. Rev. .vir. Miugins described the condi
tion of the Missions, what they had done and
what they had to do. Rev. Dr. Hastings spoke
ot the peculiar diliieuities which the city pre
sented to missionary work, and described the
modes adopted to overcome them. In conclu
sion, Rev. Mr. Tyng called for aid in the way of
money, and a collection was taken. The '.lum
ber ot people assembled was sufficient to fill the
church.
One of the best newspaper jokes lately
heard of was unintentionally perpetrated upon
themselves by the Rev. Mr. Rogers, of Memphis,
and the Daily Times of Chicago. Mr. Rogers
preached a sermon in advocacy" of Romanism as
the true religion, and showing the futility of
Protestant Episcopal organizations, delivering
what he supposed was the manuscript of this
seimon to the Times reporter. He was aston
ished to read iu that paper next morning a
synopsis of a discouse delivered by him ten years
ago in defense of Episcopacy. He evidently
drew his sermon from the wrong end of the
barrel.
A sharp controversy is going on in the secu
lar journals, between the rector of Christ
Church, New York, and his organist, whereat
one of our contemporaries is moved to ask,
"Why not banish instrumental music from the
churches altogether, if organists and clcrgvmcn
cannot get on harmoniously with it ' W'e do
not anywhere read of Uie Apostles having
organs or choristers, or anything of the sort,
when they got together for worship in upper
rooms: and, if they could do without them, why
not we ?"
The Episcopal Evangelical Society of Chi
cago is sending out colporteurs, offering books
for sale and introducing the Christian tvpo of
Episcopalian churches. Dr. Paddock, of De
troit, recently warned his nock ngainst the in
trusion of a similar Evangelican colporteur. He
read on Easter the following notice: "There is
now an agent in town soliciting subscribers for
two papers, the l'rotestant Churchman ond the
Episcopalian, and other publications of the
Society for the Promotion of Evangelical Know
ledge, all of which I condemn. And as I have
the care of the souls of my people on me, I
affectionately warn them not to allow such
papers or books to be circulated in my parish."
His new parish in Brooklyn will understand that
he believes in high fences. Let them beware of
Evangelical religion! Independent.

LETTER OF MESSRS. DAVID DOWS & CO.
New Yokk, April 10, lto.
1IEKRINO, FARHEL & SllKHMAN, '
No. 281 Broadway.
GcntH: On the night of the 22d ultimo; our store,
No. 20 Houth street, was entered, and a desperate at
tempt made by burglura upon one of yoursufos in our
counting-room.
The key to the safe In which we kept our securities
was locked Inside of our fire-proof book safe, the
doors of which were literally cut to pieces; from this
they obtained the key to the other safe and opened
It. Fortunately we had one of your Bur(?lnr-Proof
Banker's Chestn Inside, in which our valuables were
deposited. This they went to work at with a will,
and evidently used up all their time and tools In vain
attempts to force it. The night was dark and stormy,
and the fact of their knowing where our key was
kept shows that their plans were well matured. They
tried wedging the door and body of the Cheat, aud
the faithful sale bears evidence of the labor and skill
devoted to the work. All was useless, and It is with
great satisfaction we report that upon opening It we
round our securities all soft; aud can therefore cheer
fully indorse the Burglur-Proof work recommended
by you.
You will please send the new safe purchased by us
to our counting-house, und take the old one, to show
that some sales are still manufactured wot thy of the
name. luvin Down & Co.
