WHITTIIR. 1 bold that Christian firace abounds Where charity is seen? tht when We climb to heaven, 'lis on the rounds Of lore to men. 1 hold all else named piety A selfish scheme, a vain pretense, Where centre is not, can there be Circumference ? This I moreoyer hold, and dare Affirm where'er my rhyme may jo, Whatever things be swt et or four, Lore makes them so; Whether it be the lullabies That charm to rent the nettling bird, Or that sweet confidence of sighs, And blushes without word; Whether the dateline and the flush Of softly sumptuous garden bowers, Or by some eabln door or bush Of ragged flowers. Tia not the wide phylactery, Nor stubborn fast, or slated prayers, That make us saints; we judge the tree By what it bears. And when a man can live apart From work, on theologie trut, I know the blood about his heart Is dry asdupU J1EA VENLY RECOGNITION. Both reason-and Scripture may be applied to the question of the recognition of saints in Heaven. The human mind was made to know, and has the capacities of intelligence. We see that a human body alone has no sensation or knowledge. By the continued cessation of the use of the senses, and of all the knowing facul ties, we perceive that a person is dead. And yet the body is entire; no organic matter has been separated from it. Kcason tells us that there is an intelligent mind or spirit Joined to the body when it is alive, and that it is undoubt edly separated from it when the body is dead. Why should , it remain with a dead, decaying body, which it does not nsc ? If the mind remains with the body at all after death, then where is it after the body is wasted away and utterly dis solved ? Reason also says that when the spirit leaves the body there is no evidence that it ceases to exist or loses its capacities of know ledge, because reason also indicates that God is a spirit, and that His spirit is omniscient. We have reason to suppose, for example, that the power of memory is not lost by death. Several clear cases are on record where persons have to all appearance died from drowning, and yet have barely been restored to life. Those persons state emphatically that, while they were thus unconscious of all things here, and were perhaps surrounded by mourning friends almost utterly de spairing of their restoration, their own minds were the furthest from an unconscious and unknowing state; that often they ran back in thought over multitudes of events in their past lives, that they recalled circumstances and scenes and interviews that long before had gone from their recollection, and that they seemed in a few moments to live over again the experience of many former years. Many who die of dis ease show a like mental activity at the last mo ment of life. The last signal of the unclouded mind, when about to depart from the mortal body, 1b not that memory and other powers are lost by lack of union with the flesh; rather that they are vivified and unfettered as they pass into the spirit land. With no mental faculties lost by death, why -will not friends and kindred know each other in the future state as they did here, and better? There is no reason for believing in the transmi gration of souls that what was a man here be comes a horse, or an ox, or another man, beyond death. It is only some idolatrous heathen reli gion that can tolerate such a supposition. Be sides, supposing that there is a spiritual body after death, may not the mind use that with more vigor and efficiency than it could this mortal frame. Assuming the fact of the fall of our first parents, may not a part of the curse have been that they henceforth should not be able to use their bodies for knowledge and happiness after the introduction of sin as before, and that what was lost in Adam will be restored, and far more than restored, to believers in Christ? A common sense anecdote is this: A Mrs. Somebody said to her husband: "John, do you think we shall know each other in heaven.?" "Yes. Do you suppose we shall be bigger fools there than here?" His reply 1b a brief epitome of the argument from reason; but Scripture gives us our great light. 8CMMAUY OF CIIURCH NEWS. PRI8BTTBRIAN. - - On a late Sabbath twenty-six were added to the Rev. Dr. Burgett's church, Mobile, Alabama, and fourteen to the Jackson street Presbyterian church in the same city. The Presbytery of Monongahela has raised during the current year about three thousand dollars over its apportionment for the various boards and purposes of the church. This is good. The Edinburgh and Glasgow Free Presby teries have discussed the question of union with the United Presbyterians with a great deal of acrimony. Although the majority favored union, the harmony was not such as to promise a speedy consummation. The Presbytery of Nassau is in trouble be cause its Tbroop avenue German church does not understand the American Sabbath. A baker sells bread on Sunday, and says he cannot help it; and a cigar dealer justifies his open store on the ground that an ox or an ass can be pulled out of a pit on the Sabbath day. The matter was postponed for further consideration. Mr. Baudreau has collected a French con gregation in Chicago, which has been taken up by the Presbyterian denomination there, and the Board of Missions is requested to meet any deficiency. As he has done this work under the auspices of the American and Foreign Christian Union, it looks like separating Presbyterian mission-work more completely from voluntary organizations. The Pittsburg Presbytery of the Reformed Presbyterian Church voted, at a meeting held April 8, in favor of uniting with the Presbyte rian Church (the united Old and New-School bodies), and appointed a commissioner to moet the Presbyterian General Assembly in Philadel phia in Jiay, and consummot tne union.

Dr. Keatinge, an ex-Romish priest, and for ton vmm Hecretarv of Cardinal d Andrea, at the Vatican, was received under the care of the (Lulu of Bersren. at its recent meeting. Cardi nal d'Andrea died about three years since, under ,.. .,Bnl.'ious circumstances, and Dr. Keatinge was obliged to in the garb of a pilgrim to rave his life. Ilc'lnborrd about a year in the Knglisb Church at St. Jnde's, London, from wbenre he was obliged to leave by the violence of a Roman Catholic mob. He has been preach ing for a year past at Brier Cliff, on the Hudson. Not sail fled with the ritualistic tendencies of the Episcopal Church, he has sought the shelter ing arms of the Reformed Church. Fifty-three persons have thus far professed faith in Jeans in the Presbyterian chnreh at MaysTllie, Ky., fifty-one of whom have already united with the church. Of this number, thirty are young and middle-aged men, while three are old and grey-haired. CONORKOATIONAL. 8. T. rtnam, of Chicago Theological Seminary, has Joined the Unitarians. A Congregational church was formed in Wilmington, N. C, on the 8d of April, which has much future promise. N. G. Clark, D.D., Secretary of the Ameri can Board of Commissioners for Foreign Mis sions, has gone to the Sandwich Islands to attend the emlentennlal anniversary of the mission. The Congregational Church in Granby, Massachusetts, has admitted women and minors to "suffrage" in the church, and ap pointed deacons for three years, instead of for life, as heretofore. Hannibal (Missouri chnreh has had over fifty additions In the last six months, mostly from the Sunday School. Its house of worship becoming too small, one is to be erected the pre sent season to cost .'SO, 000. The Congregational Sabbath School and Publishing Society proposes to change its name again. It would be curious to count the several names It has borne since it was started as the Hopklnsian Pnbllshing Society. The First Union Church of Qnlncy, 111., has sold 1U "Central" house, has paid all debts, purchased a new lot at the corner o Main and Twelfth streets, and has remaining a fund of ten thousand dollars for the new building. The Boston Congregational ministers have talked over Mr. McKeneie's exchange with Dr. Robbins, the Unitarian pastor of Boston, and almost unanimously approved it. Two years ago they as unanimously denied its expediency. There Is to Congregational church now in Dayton, Ohio. It was disbanded more than a year aco, the church property sold to a branch of the Lutheran Church, and the old members scattered among the different churches of the city. TtAPTIHT, As the result of the late revival, the Gillficld Church has received 2o0 candidates for baptism; the Harrison Btrcet Church, 217; and the Third Church, 25 making a total of 41R3 lu the city of Petersburg. Va. A Baptist minister in New Jersey ha. im mersed his own son, knowing he intended to join a Pedo-Baptlst church; whereupon the Central Conference has voted such a practice "irregular and nnscriptural." The Watchman and ilrflielor asks for the conflicting passage of Scripture. The American Baptist Publication Society have juBt published in the Spanish language the "Baptist Church Manual and Declaration of Faith," a hymn book containing twenty-four hymns, and a tract on the constitution of Bap tist ehurches. They were translated by the Rev. Thomas M. Westrup, and are intended for use in connection with the new Baptist 1 ' n in Mexico. The May meeting of the Bapti-i Sunday School Association of Philadelphia wiil be held in the Broad Street Baptist Church (Rev. Dr. Magoon, Pastor), corner of Broad and Brown streets, on Tuesday evening, May 10, commenc ing at a quarter before 8 o'clock. After devo tional exercises an essay will bo read by Rev. J. W. Willmartb, Pemberton, N. J.; subject, "Character an Essential Element or the Teach er's Success." To be followed by flve-minuto speeches.

The music for the occasion will be furnished by the choir of the church, under tho direction of Professor C. F. Blanducr. METUODIST. The Franklinville Methodist Episcopal Church, corner of Fifth street and Erie avenue, this city, will he dedicated to the service of God on Sabbath, May 8, 1870. Preachingat 10Jg' A. !., by Kov. l.

This church is connected with the Philadelphia City Mission of the M. E. Church, Rev. G. W. Lybrand, Superintendent. The church is a beautiful one, 80 by 50 feet, brick, slate roof, and inclosed with a neat fence. 1 he trustees need $1200 to pay the indebtedness. THE riUENDS. The Yearly Meeting of Friends meets in Race Street Meeting House on the tub. instant, and continues the most of next week. A large num ber of strangers are expected, among others John J. Cornell, David and Naomi Barnes, Wealthy Russell, James Burdsall, from New York State; Benjamin Hallowell, Samuel Town send, etc., from Maryland; Jos. and Ruth Cope, Dr. Jos. Mead, of Ohio. Many of these come to attend the Indian Convention of the several committees of all the Yearly Meetings, which is held on the 6th instant. On the eveuing of the same day a First Day School Conference is to be held in the same meeting house. Meetings in regard to the freed men, etc., will be held in the evening during next week. The several meet ing houses on Race street, lmriv-niin ana Lancaster avenue (West Philadelphia), Fourth and Green, and Ninth and Spruce will be open for worship on the bth Inst. CATHOLIC. The Protestant Churchman says that the issue of the controversy in reference to the "bhelterlng Arms shows the weakness oi the so-called "Catholic" party in the Episcopal Uhurcn. in connection witn a cnariuoie iuu- tutlon, where it had its strongest position, it was forced to yield when the evangelical party refuted to give its aid. vt. liurtit, wno lias neen attending meetings of German clergy, says in The M lUwUt that it is perfectly evident that "the German clergy are necoming more earnest in tnetr wora; more alive to the wants of the neglected and indif ferent masses; far less denunciatory of the members of denominations outside the Stale churches; thoroughly intent on cultivating a more practical theology and fervent religious me; ana resoivea, as never belore, to care lor the spiritual wants of the young." a worn among tne rench Catholics oi t,m cago, hitherto under the charge of a student in the Northwestern Seminary, commissioned by the American and Foreign Christian Uniou, has been taken up by the Presbyterians there. This seems to look towards a withdrawal, in accord ance with their general policy, from the A. and F. Christian Union. Some of the French papers report, not very credibly, that Father Hyaciuthe has become a Protestant, and will soon be married. They refer to the influence of De Pressense, a cele brated pastor of the Reformed 'Jhurcb in Paris. He says that he is not connected with his brother's newspaper, La Concorde. LONDON SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION . At the meeting of the Evangelical Alliance in New York, the London Sunday School Union is expected to be represented by lion. Charles Reed, M. P., and by Daniel Pratt, Esq., of the Christian World. Arrangements are in progress to have these brethren meet and address the Sunday School workers of our chief cities. UNIVERSALIS!. , Tho Fraternal Association of Unlversalists in Boston, presided over by Rev. Rowland Con nor, who was disfellowshipped by the deuomina tioq for rationalistic views, has been disbanded for want of support, and its members have been invited to join the society to which Theodore Parker used to minister. JEWISH. The first shipload of Russian Jews has arrived, notwithstanding the protest of their countrymen here. They are thrown on charity here: and some nine more snips have been char tered to bring others, besides the 500 who are now on their way. OARPETINQ3, ETC. B. J, X6TKH. OH AS. T. WEB KB. VTU. T.
