Rions as to the evil of sin and tho nocd of tho

Bald, "We do not wish to despise a irood man's
dreams, by any means; but wo will tell you what
wo think of tho dream after wo sec how you go

The following narration, which appears in a
London journal, appears to bo authentic, and is
interesting and valuable, showing us it does tho
importance of yielding to the Impressions of
duty, which are ofteu made upon the human
mind quito Independently of any operation of Its
own powers. Tho date of the occurrence Is not
tflvon, but as It took place before the Island of
Ascension had any Inhabitants, wo cannot con
sider it very recent. Tho Island belongs to Great
Britain, and is situated about "SO miles north
west of St. Helena:
"Admiral Sir Thomas Williams, a straightfor
ward and excellent man, was In command of a
ship crossing the Atlantic Ocean. His courso
brought him in sight of tho Island of Ascension,
at that time uninhabited, and never visited by
any ship except for tho purpose of collecting
turtles, which abound on tho coast. Tho island
was barely descried on tho horizon, and was
not to bo noticed at all; but as yir Thomas
looked at It, he was seized by an accountable
desire to steer towards It.
"He felt how strange such a wish would ap
pear to his crew, and tried to disregard it, but
in vain. His desire became more and more
urgent and distressing, nud foreseeing that it
would soon be more dillicult to gratify it, he told
his lieutenant to prepare to 'put about ship,'
and steer for Ascension. The olllcer to whom
Le Bpokc ventured to respectfully represent that
changing their course would greatly delay them
that just at that moment the men were going
to their dinner that at least some delay might
be allowed.
"But these arguments seemed to increase
Captain Williams' anxiety, aud the ship was
eteered towards the, uninteresting little island.
All eyes and spy-glasses were now fixed upon
it, and soon something was perceived on tho
6hore. 'It Is white it is a flair it must bo a
Eignal!' And when they nearod the shore It
was ascertained that sixteen men, wrecked on
that coast many days before, and suffering tho
extremity of hunger, had set up a signal, though
almost without a hope of relief." London Sf;eo

METHODIST.
The Wesloyan church of Seneca Falls, N. Y.,
tlie largest ami oldest in its conference, has become
the First Congregational church of that place. Mr.
I.yle continues its pastor. The Wcsleyau church of
Washington, Ohio, became Congregational last year.
There is no appreciable practical (Inference between
the two bodies. Both have the same polity; and,
although the Wcsleyau Metho lists are more Ar
niiuian, no one suspects but either are Orthodox
enough.
The- Methodists are now voting on lay delega
tion. Five churches in Chicago voted an for to ft)
against the plan. Two liruoklvn churches have
pronounced against the plan. It is suggested that,
us none under twenty-one vote, there will be no un
married women's votes cost; for are there any un
married women over twenty-one 1
The last General Conference of the Methodist
Church South removed the penalty of exp-ilsion for
neglecting to attend class-meetings. The attend

want of siiltalilo leaders.
Tho Wesleyan missions In Ireland have been In

Joined the African Methodists.
The New York Conference of tho African Metho
dist Episcopal 'Mm Church met in Newburg re
cently. Among other business, tho following was
adopted: "That no person be admitted into this
conference," either on trial or Into full connection,
Who habitually uses tobacco in any form."
The Maine Conference, at its late session,
adopted the following In relation to the resolu
tions of the last General Conference on lay delega
tion :
"Uennhed, That we cordially endorse said action,
anil will see, so far as practicable, that the provi
sions for taking tho popular vote are faithfully ob
served." Tho Massachusetts Legislature has increased
the charter of the Doston Wesleyan Association to
9100,000, and It will immediately proceed to erect a
handsome buildiug, costing, with the laud, nearly
jaoo.ooe.
The venerable Dr. George Peck, who has been In
the Methodist ministry for nearly fifty-three years,
and is now an elective Presiding Elder of the
Wyoming Conference, celebrated his golden wed
diug on Thursday, June 10, in Soranton, Pa.
The Methodist General Conference recommends
that efforts be made throughout Sunday schools to
augment the "Children's Fund." The conference
provides also that the Interest of the fund shall be
divided among the Annual Conferences, in propor
tion to the number of children under the cure of
each, provided that annual collections for the fund
"be taken by Sunday schools within the bounds of
Bald conference."

UNITARIAN.
During tho past year 09 Unitarian societies hnvo
been aided by, tho funds of the association, and
pleaching has been supplied mainly at its cost in
124 places where no Unitarian society exists. There
lias been expended JnTtiS In New England, $12,70:! in
the Western States, and 2010 In the Southern States
In all tK4,!o.
Tho Liberal Chrirtiaii says that tho Unitarian
church In New Uedford lias voted to dispense with
the bread aud wine m the celebration of the Lord's
fciupper. The sacrament is not to be given up, but
improved by puitable vocal exercises; while the time
Spent in distributing the elements will be devoted to
meditation and silent prayer. They think ''that tho
memorial service can be made Just as effective aud
real without the visible emblems of the body and
m blood of Jesus; and that the change will lead to a
jnoro general participation in the exercises, espe
cially among the young."

Another victory to the High Church Episcopa
lians was their success In pushing through the
Maryland Convention a plan for Inaugurating a
federate count 11 of dioceses In that State. It was bit
terly opposed, but passed by a close vote. A curious
episode In I lie discussion was the decision of the
presiding olllcer that it was not In order to mention
byname Bishops ondordoiik ami Ives, who have
been deposed for conduct unworthy their position.
The laymen were most opposed to the plan, ami
adopted it only by a vote of 'li to 22, while the cleri

Church at F.xeter. N. H., having become sadly out of
repair, was lately removed. A subscription paper
was drawn up to defray the expenses of a new one,
but lis circulation was very brief, as the llrst man to
whom it was presented wrote substantially its fol
lows: "I will tlelrny the entire expense, W. odliu."
The fence Is to lie of Iron, ami will cost about f looit.

BAPTIST.
The Southern Baptists have held a successful
convention in Macon, tin., but without any im
portant business being doue. Dr. Armltage, of New
York, was present to represent Northern Baptists.
The Kev. John Sheridan, a convert from
Romanism, who lor the past ten years lias been
employed as a missionary by the ISrooklyn city Mis
sion Society, was ordained on Sunday as a minister
of the liuptistpcrs.ua.-iuu, in tuu Strong 1'lace Baptist
Church.
"The American Baptist Year-book" Is just issued.
The reports are quite incomplete lor the South, as
where Missouri, which last year hail 719 churches, is
now credited with but loo; and .Mississippi shows
only Til, against film a year ago. This gives a total
apparent loss of 1344 churches during the vear.
There are reported r,M associations, l,oil churches,
8i;ii5 ordained ministers, (iO,7s7 baptisms, ami 1,121,
9s8 present members, making the denomination
numerically second only to the .Methodist Episcopal.
The baptist papers generally are very severe on
the action of the members of the Doston Tract So
ciety, at Its lute annual meeting, in attempting to
cast oil' all its friends who ure not Co.igrcgutiimal
ists. One of the directors wrote a long article,
signed "I'alr Play," for the TrareWr, full of misre
presentations, as is charged; and when a Baptist re
plied to it the paper refused to print It, for the good
reason that "Fair Play's"' communication had been
paid for as an advertisement.

The Old School Assembly overruled the action
of a church In establishing u rotary eldership. The
practice is becoming quite common In tho more pro
gressive branch.
Tho United Presbyterians are now holding their
Annual Assembly. YA e notice an effort making to
discontinue the China mission, and to incorporate
the Syrian with the Egyptian mission, on the ground
of the superior advantage of concentrating ull their
power in two Ileitis, those of India ami of Egypt.
A gootl old colored preacher, Father Williams,
was introduced to the New School Presbyterian
Assembly, in New York, ami made a brief speech on
the condition of the freedmeu of the South. Ho
thought that Presbyterian theology was just what his
people wanted, and regretted that it spread so
tardily. He said that tho Presbyterians in their
Southern work "made haste very slowly, while tho
Methodists were bundling In on every side."
The Southern Presbyterian Assembly is troubled
with the "African." A report was adopted that the
freedmen be "allowed a formative organization a
Bort of gradually maturing progress, to be arrested
at a cerlain point, until, under proper training, it is
prepared to pass on towards completion." To the
cretlit of Southern Christianity, opposition, though
unsuccessful, was made to the plan, on the ground
that It violated the rights ofcolored members, In re
fusing to allow them to represent their churches In
presbytery or synod.
Tho Presbyteries of Guelph and Stamford,
Canada, have decided that the revival work in Gait
ami vaclnlty is at variance with the Westminster
Catechisms. The Canada Presbyterians beem to be
forty years behind the times, ami remind us by their
action of the days when the New York Observer was
fighting revivals with all Its miliht on the same grouiuL
liy-and-by the Canada Presbyterians will learn, as
their brethren have learned here, to patronize the
institution, aud to believe that Methodists or Ply
mouth brethren who support it are only stealing
their thunder.
Tho munificent gift of Mr. John C. Green, In-c-eased
to $7(5,000, will allow Princeton College to
put up one of the llnest college buildings ever erected
in this country. On learning that the estimates for
the new gymnasium would bo guft tioo, instead of
120,000, Mr. 'Jionner ami Mr. Murquuud generously
Insisted that their donations should be Increased to
that amount. The college now wants money for Its
new dormitory, and to endow a professorship o f
modern languages.
The friends of the union of Presbyteriuns in
Scotlund have hail another victory in the General
Assembly of tho Free church. Two motions were
presented, one by Dr. Fairbuirn, In favor of progress,
the other by tho Kev. Dr. Nixon, in iavor of practi
cally abandoning the whole project. The vote stood.
In favor of Dr. Fuirbalru s motion, 429; in favor of
Dr. Nixon's, b9. Majority, 340.
It will be remembered that the missionaries of
the Kelormcd Presbyterians in India sent a protest
against the action of tlie synod which suspended
George 11. Stuart. The synod, at its late meeting,
voted to require tho mission presbytery to return
within a yeur to lis allegiance, ami nolltlcd them
thut, if they refused, a competent person will be sent
out to take' possession of the schools ami of the pro
perty; and a special committee was appointed to
coinmu'.leate w 1th the pustorsof the native churches,
tho '-converted native missionaries," to Induce them
to break with Hut American missionaries, on the
promise thut they should be recognized as the pres
bytery. The synod is terribly consistent in Its jiei-tlita
viriif, ami even a brother of one of the missionaries
was roiemoHt in the effort to punish them. No won
der thut the synod has lostj one-half of Its ministerial
members tlui ing 4 years, dwindling from W to 27, lu
hpile of 20 accessions. Imlrin'iulail.
