JlOIiE ROOMS INOVli CUURC1IES.
Time was when a church edifice was consid
ered amply furnished with all needful accommo
dation! if It had, In addition to a main audience-room,
another and smaller, designed for
tho double purpose of 8uuJay-8chool and
prayer-meeting, a small room with a gallery
for an infant class, and several class-rooms. But
of late years, as tho working and social power
of the Church has gradually devclopod, the
want of additional rooms has been felt, and this
want, we are happy to say, is supplied in many
of onr best churches.
Our Sunday Schools need better accommoda
tions than they have usually had. Tho church
conscience ought not to be satisfied with putting
living children for two hours every Sunday in a
depth of earth where only the dead should bo
placed; yet there are under many of our churches
just such dark, miserable holes in the ground, as
deep as graves, aid almost as damp. They are
considered good enough for the children. The
Sunday School rooms should bo as cheerful and
pleasant as they can be made. Wo do not plead
ler extravagant adornment of art, yet they
onght to be attractive. By all means, let them
be above ground. We heartily wish that not
Another church might be bnilt with a basement
underground, even to the depth of a foot. There
onght also to be rooms for adult classes and for
infant classes, the latter with galleries; and all
rooms, largo and small, should bo well ventilated.
The complaint is often mado that "there are
not nights enough in the week" for all the
meetings that are necessary for church purposes.
This difficulty arises in many places from the
fact that every week three or four evenings are
taken up with class meetings. Now, we caunot
make any more nights in a week than the
orthodox seven which our ancestors have
banded down to us, but we might make more
class-rooms, so that all tho classes, even in a
largo church, need not occupy more than two
evenings in each week. With the help of Sun
day, these surely ought to suffice, and thus a
night or two might be gained during the week
for othor purposes.

KriSCOPAL.
The Episcopalians are opening chnrch reading-rooms
in Boston. They hope to secure a
building at an expense of $40,000.
Trinity Churoh, Mew York, gives an annual

has been there twenty years.
The Hartford Churchman says: -"There Is
an Episcopal mission in Bait Lake City composed
of Bishop Tutth and two devoted clergymen.
They have for three years occupied a Held aban
doned by every other Christian minister who
has attempted missionary work there. Now
this mission numbers nearly 100 communicants,
with aSabtath tchool of 13) pupils, and has
contributed fc'JOOO to the work there in tho three
years. Three young men, sous of Mormons, are
under instruction lor the ministry."
Kev. Colin C. Tate, rector of St. Paul's
Church, Columbus, Ohio, iu a note dated Feb
ruary 28, informed Bishop Mcllvalue "that the
snrpliced choir and processional singing in St.
Paul's Chnrch were discontinued on Sunday,
January 2, 1870." This communication having
been laid before the Bunding committee, mat
body adopted the following resolution, whereby
Mr. Tate s standing Is restored:
Resolved, That inasmuch as the Rev. C. C. Tate
has olllcially notilled the bishop of the diocese of the
discontinuance of the objectionable practices in St.
Paul's Church, Columbus, and (or which he, the
Kev. C. C. Tute, was preseuted for trial, the Stand
ing Committee withdraw the presentment.
METHODIST.
On tho Vineland (N. 3. Seminary, $30,000
have been expended, and $3,000 more will bo
required to complete it.
The Rev. John Lickinson, brother of tho
celebrated Miss Anna Dickinson, is at present
supplying tho pnlpit;of the church in uuutord,
Conn. Ho is a very popular preacher.
The Christian Advocate reports tho voto
among the clergy on the lay-delegation ques
tion. Forty-one conferences cast 3357 votes, of
which 2718 are for and 639 against lay delegates
more than four to one.
A Methodist Episcopal church has been
erected in Fultohoa, in Bulgaria, bordering on
the Black Sea. It numbers twenty-oue mem
bers, and is the first Methodist church ever built
in Russia.
Tho Baltimore Methodist Conference ap
pointed a delegation to visit tho confercuce of
Southern Methodists, in session at the samo
time and place; but tho latter declining to re
ceive the delegates in their official capacity, they
withdrew.
The largest contribution ever made in one
year in money to any religious or benevolent
society was made last year (1800) to the Mis
sionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, namely, $018,230 til. This is an ad
vance of $20,004-1)3 over the preceding year
(1868).
During the recent session of the Kentucky
Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
two members of the conference were Invited to
E reach in the Methodist Episcopal Church
onth, which they did, and several of the
ministers of that Church w ere introduced to the
conference.
Tho largest salary paid last year in the
Lexington (Ky.) Colored Conference was $500;
the smallest $8 75. The Methodist for March
20 reports the vote on Lay Delegation thus far
as 3320 for and 845 against. Total, 4105. This
includes the vote of fifty-ona conferences, and
gives the required three-fourths vote, and 1 to
spare.
The Advocate sums up 3194 clerical votes
ts far in favor and 818 against lay delegation.
It reckons that the remaining votes will make a
total w 4440 for and 1003 against it, which
would mVe 90 negative votes In excess of tho
one-quartei necessary to defeat the measure.
We BOtice tuvt the New England Conference
has just glveu a negative vote considerably
stronger vuan iu "euessed by the Advocate,
It is certain that Ure is great doubt whether
the measure will r. adopted. Its strongest
opposition comes in t.e Eastern Conferences
that are vet to vote.
The Methodist papers fl still ncrACrd rlla-
cussing the reports of the Bo.fc Committee, and

that the matter be reinvestigated before a com
mittee of practical business men.
BAPTIST.
In the Now York Independent the Rev. J.
Hyatt Smith denies the report that he had re
signed the pastorate of Lee Avenue Baptist
Chnrch in Brooklyn, N. Y., and come out for
pen communion.
The Kev. Dr. Jeffery has just completed the
first year of Lis pastorate over tho Ninth Street
Church, Cincinnati. Ohio, during which one
hundred and fifty-four new members have been
received.
Tho Rev. Mr. Walsh, a recent Congrega
tional minister, was immersed by tho Rev. Dr.
Fish, of tho Academy Street Baptist Church,
Newark, New Jersey, lately.
The Louisiana Jlaptist tells of an incendiary
who lately set on fire a Baptist church in that
State, but who first piously removes the Bible
and hymn book, putting them on a log out of
reach of the fire.
Dayton, Ohio, has been visited by a gracious
outpouring of tho Holy Spirit. The pastor of
the Wayne Street Church has baptized eighty
eight converts since the meetings began, and at
the First Church flfty-elght have been baptized.
The work is still In progress.
The Baptist Church in Paris would not bo
allowed to immerse their converts in the Seine,
or In public anywhere. As their place of wor
ship will not admit a baptistery, they aro ob
liged, in baptizing n convert, to bring in a large
box for the purpose.
The Baptist papers show different degrees
of opposition to open communion. The tlpare
Hour, of San Francisco, is a little semi-monthly
sheet, edited by Dr. Sawtclle, and earnestly lu
favor of the measure. The Watchman and Re
flector, of Boston, tho ablest paper in the de
nomination, and tho Journal and Messenger, of
Cincinnati, aro both temperately opposed to the
measure; but do not hesitate to acknowledge
those who favor it as sonnd Baptists, and some
times insert their communications on the sub
ject. The Examiner and Chronicle, of New
York, is bitterly opposed to it, and never gives
the other side a hearing. Tho less able papers
of Chicago and Philadelphia are satisfied with
giving denominational news, without attempting
to mould denominational sentiment. Then we
have such Western and Southern papers as the
Baptist, of Memphis, which would not even
allow an exchange with or any recognition of
unimmersed ministers. Independent.
PRESBYTERIAN.
Rev. Willis Lord, D. D.,of the Northwestern
Seminary, has been elected President of Wooster
University, Ohio.
The Presbyterian Board of Education has
received 8000 candidates for the ministry since
its organization.
Rev. W. M. Cunningham, D. D.. recently
elected President of the Oglethorpe College,
Georgia, died at Lagrange, on tho 10th ultimo,
of pneumonia.
Tho number of students now in Union Theo
logical Seminary is thirty-five equal to that
of its palmiest days. The present year is spoken
of as a highly prosperous one in all respects.
The Rev. Hugh McKelvcy, of Centralis, 111.,
has withdrawn from the Western Presbytery of
the Reformed Presbyterian General Syuod and
Joined tho Presbytery of Alton.
The Cumberland Presbyterian Chnrch has a
membership of 140,000, and now enters on tho
sixtieth year of its history. It is considered
more settled in its operations and fixed in cha
racter than at any previous time.
The New York Observer says that on a
recent Sunday Rev. Dr. Hall administered tho
communion to eleven or twelve hundred com
municants In his church both pows and aisles
being crow fled.
The 1' v. Kingsbury, after being pastor
of the 1 ! . . ilan church, Putnam, Ohio, for
thirty years,' has tendered his resignation, in
consequence of his advanced age and increasing
infirmities. His resignation was declined, as tho
congregation desire his pastoral relation to con
tinue lor life, and propose employing an
assistant.
A very interesting qncstlou to those who
support our benevolent societies is that opened
by a correspondent of tho Evangelist, who be
lieves ihat not only should the several boards of
the two Presbyterian bodies be consolidated, as
has been contemplated, but that this ought to
be carried so much further as to merge the
half-dozen boards into two or three. He says
that the mission work of the Church properly
divides itself into domestic and foreign, and
that two societies are enough to take it all.
Ilo sees no reason why there should bo a
separate church-erection department, when
this can as well as not be attended
to by tho secretaries of tho Board of Domestic
Missions, who are in intimate correspondence
with the churches that need such aid. At most,
it should be a bureau in that office. So there is
no reason why tho freedmen should bo set up
into a scnarato department, or why the Domes
tic Board, with a proper supply of clerks, could
not also attend to the education department, or
to the colportage branch of the Board of Publi
cation, which is, in fact, tho only function of
that board which it is proper for an ecclesiasti
cal body to attempt. Tho only really strong
argument for the multiplication of societies is
that thus it is supposed more money will be
contributed.
Besides the large Presbyterian bodies in this
country in which we include the reunited
Presbyterian Church, the Cumberland Presbyte
rians, the Southern Presbyterians, and the
United Presbyterians there aro numerous
smaller bodies, mainly of Scotch origin, which
refused to join In the combination wuicn lormea
the United Presbyterian body. There are the
Old Side Reformed or Covenanter Church,
with 80 ministers and 80 churches; tho
New Side Reformed or Covenanter, which
had a little while ago 55 ministers
and 60 churches, but which has been split
into two by the expulsion of Mr. George II.
Stuart: the Associate Reformed Synod of tho
South, with 08 ministers; the Associate Synod
of North America, with 13 ministers; and the
Associate Reformed Synod of New York, with
11 ministers. This mates 7 scotcn rresuy-
terian bodies. Besides these are the Declaration
and Testimony Presbyterians of Missouri, and a
small body of Old School Presbyterians In the
same reclon that reiuse to go into tne union
To these should be added another faction, lately
organized in Charleston, . J., whose numa we
do not know. This elves us a total, so fur as
known, of 13 Presbyterian Churches.
LUTHERAN.
The Lutheran Visitor says, speaking of de
nomlnatlonal interests in the South: "The
Southern Church is not now a missionary
church. It has not a single missionary, lhe
Southern Church must ere long be without
pastors: it has not a single theological student. "
The Xcandinacen has a weekly circulation
of about 8000 copies. The Lutheran Observer
says: "As there are sixteen Scandinavian jour
nals in America, this will give some lcioa or tne
Scandinavians as a reading people.
REFORMED CI1URCU.
Rev. J. II. Wagner, late a pastor of tho
German Reformed Church in Pittsburg, has
seceded to the Roman Catholics. On the 3d
inst. he was "baptized" nnd confirmed by
Romish Driest in Lancaster. Pa.
St. John's German Reformed Church, West
Philadelphia, recently voted to transfer their
comrrcnation and property to the Presbyterians
The Messenger says that legal and ecclesiastical
measures have been taken to prevent it.
CATHOLIC.

ment in the (Kcumenlcal Council by proposing
that tho entire concurrence ot the fcplapocate bo
necessary for the definition ot an article oi lalth
It Is said that tho Pope refuses to receive lu the
