Not the loaet of the charms f the dear old Bible is its eacrcd and tender relations to those who hare gone before us to the better land. We read the Bible which our fathers and mothers read. We see, perhaps, pencil marks here and there, whick show what they loved and what helped and comforted them In the days of their life straggle, and the Bible is dearer to us on that account. Then going backwards along the bright pathway of the sainted and blessed who lived In former ages, tho Bible be comes diviner to us for their sake, by what it was to them. The Bible of the martyrs, the Bible of the Waldenses, the Bible of Luther and Calvin, of our Pilgrim Fathers, has a double interest. We have in our possession an extremely ancient black-letter edition of the Bible, printed in 1522, more than three hundred years old. In this ancient edition many of the psalms have been read and re-read till the paper is almost worn away. Some human heart, some suffering soul, wore this away before us. If to have been the favorite intimate friend of the greatest number of hearts be au ambition worthy of a poet, David has had more of this than any poet who ever wrote. He has lived next to the heart ot men, and women, and chil dren, of all ages, in all climates, in all times and seasons, all over the earth. They have rejoiced and wept, prayed and struggled, lived and died, with David's words In their mouths. His heart has become the universal Christian heart, and will ever be till earth's sorrows and earth itself are a vanished dream. It is too much the fashion of this day to speak tl'ghtiogly of the Old Testament. Apart from its gi andenr, its purity, its tenderness and ma jesty, the Old Testament has a peculiar interest to the Christian from the fact that it was the Bible of the Lord Jesus Christ. As a man, Jesus had a human life to live, a human experience to undergo. For thirty silent years lie was known among men only as a car penter in Nazareth, and the Old Testament was his dally companion. When He emerges into public life, we find nim thouroughly versed in the Scriptures. Allusions to it are constant through all His discourses; He constantly refers to it as a book that reflects His own image. "Search the Scriptures," He says,"for these are they that testify of me." The Psalms of David were to Jesus what they are to us, and more. In certain of them he saw Himself and Ills future life, His trials, conflicts, sufferings, resurrection and final triumph fore shadowed. He quoted them to confound his enemies. "When they sought to puzzle him with perplexing questions he met them with others equally difficult drawn from the. Scriptures. "The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand till I make thine enemies thy foot stool. If David then In spirit call him Lord, how is he his son ?" The dying words of Jesus, the words of his extremest agony, were a quotation from the Psalms: "My God, my God, why has thou for saken me ?" "When we read the Psalms we go along a track that we know Jesus and his mother must often have trod together. SUMMARY OF CI1UKCU NEWS. PRESBYTEKIAN. The Rev. Joseph R. Wilson, D. D., elected by the Louisville Assembly to the chair of Evan gelistic and Pastoral Theology in Columbia Seminary, accepts the place. The death of the Rev. J. F. Watson, of Arkansas, son of the Rev. S. L. Watson, the venerable pastor of Bethel Church in South Carolina, is announced. He died of consump tion, on the 8th of June, in Princeton, Arkansas. The Presbytery of West Lexington met on the 3d of June, in Cynthiana, Ky.. and after the usual examination, ordained and installed Rev. II. Glass pabtor of the Cynthiana church. On the 15th of Junethe presbytery dissolved the pastoral relation between the Rev. 8. W. Cherry and the church in Winchester, Ky. Of the 125 students connected with David eon College, North Carolina, during the past scholastic year, about three-iourths are profes sors of religion. Of the class of thirteen that graduated the other day twelve are professing Christians, and of these twelve six have fully made up their minds to devote themselves to the work of the Gospel ministry, and two others are seriously debating the question of duty in this respect. The Canada Presbyterian Church, the larg est Presbyterian body in the Dominion, has 4 synods, 17 presbyteries, 300 ministers, and 2 seminaries. It was organized in 1861 by the union of two bodies, and has just held its first general assembly ia Toronto. The communi cants are 47,152, an Increase of 15'Jtt. The ave rage stipend of the ministers is $091; the amount contributed for congregatlanal purposes, $359, 677, and for missionary purposes, $42,305. The Interior states that over one-half of the churches (24571) are found in the four Btates, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Illinois. New York has 730, Pennsylvania 712, Ohio 530, Illinois 446, Indiana 310, Iowa 280, New Jersey 214, Missouri 158, and Michigan 150; making, with smaller amounts, a total of 4100. Of the ciiies, Philadelphia has 63, New York 39, Brook lyn 23, Chicago 16. Newark 15, Cincinnati 10, Baltimore and San Francisco 11 each, and Wash ington and Pittsburg 10 each. CONGKEO ATION AL. John Bertram, Esq., has purchased for $9500, and presented to the South Church in Salem, Mass., as a parsonage, the estate at the corner of Federal and Carpenter streets. The Rev. C. H. 8. Williams, pastor of the Orthodox Church in Concord, Massachusetts, lately resigned on the ground that he could no longer hold the doctrines of the Trinity and the certain close of probation with this life. The First Church, Chicago, received thirty four new members at their last communion, twenty-five of them bringing letters from other churches, and representing almost every evan gelical denomination. Eight children were baptized. The Congregationalisms are discussing the advisability of establishing a national con ference, for the purpose of promoting unity in the plans and purposes of the denomination. The conference would be clothed with no autuo ority over the churches. The triennial catalogue of Andover Semi nary shows the total number of students who have eDjoyed its advantages to be 2090, the whole number of graduates being 1618. There are 45 at present regularly connected with the two remaining classes in the seminary, of whom four are in the special course. The church in East Hartford was organized in 1695, and, during the 175 years since, it has Lad but seven pastors only two during the first 97 years. These seven pastors were Revs. Samuel Woodbridge, Eliphalet Williams, I). D., Andrew Yates, Joy II. Fairchild, Asa Mead, Samuel 8prlng, D. D., and the present pastor, Rev. T. J. Holmes. The church has had but three houses of worship. The first stood 45 years, the second 75, and the present substan tial house was dedicated in January. 1830. The prefect membership of the church Is 3 S3, and that of the Sabbath-school 397. The Congvegatlonalista of Wales are aj pealing to their countrymen here for aid in putting, up buildings for the Congregational College at Bala, North Wales. There are 25 Welh Congregational churches in New York, 37 In Pennsylvania, 33 in Ohio, 24 In Wisconsin, jtcd -0 more In other States, jhelr pastors Juve nearly all been educated In Wales, and Bala Col lege has spent $8000 or $10,000 on the education of those who are here, and will have to spend an increased proportion In future. The application for aid is endorsed by the leading Welsh churches here, and will, no doubt, meet a ready response. mere is another congregational "college," as theological seminaries are called in Great Britain, in Brecon, South Wales. EPISCOPAL. The diocese of Kansas has received the noble gift of 30,000 made by generous Eastern friends to the Diocesan Female Seminary in Topcka. Tho Rev. Christopher I. Prlndar, late Romish priest, has applied to the Bishop of the diocese of Ohio for admission to the Episcopal communion. The Episcopal Theological Seminary of New York has accepted the gl'i of 55 acres in Mamaroneck, Westchester county, from Andrew Wilson, Jr., and will build upon the land. Mr. A. P. Dodge, of New York, has pre sented the Episcopal Theological Seminary near Alexandria with $100,000, the money to be appropriated to the endowment of two of the existing professorships. The late Council of the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia parsed a resolution that while the New TesUment does no treoulre a specified per centage of Income to be devoted to religious purposes, no Christian ought, otw! under ex traordinary circumstances, to be eatisti-ji with giving less than a tenth. METUOPIST. There are fifteen Methodist Episcopal churches In Boston, Mass. The first Methodist Episcopal church in Boston was organized in 1792. The Wesley an Conference of Eastern British America comprises 15,021 members; 309 Sunday schools, with 2333 teachers and 12,340 scholars. The Methodist papers are discussing the propriety of the exception to their general rule by which the colored Bishop Roberts resides in Africa, and has episcopal supervision nowhere else. The Weslcyan district meetings of England have suggested that the minimum salaries of their unmarried preachers should be $370, and those that are married from $550 to $000, in addition to rents, coals, taxes, and medical ex penses. ' A missionary has been appointed to Utah, who will devote his time to the extension of the faith in that section. It was reported that the missionary who has been there for a short time has had good success, holding service in Salt Lake City regularly, at which many Mormons are glad to attend. At the meeting of the Irish Conference held in Dublin last month, the Secretary announced the number of members in the society to be 19,903. being an increase of 304. There are on trial 830. I he number of emigrations has been 421, and deaths 304. There are 207 Sunday schools; 2190 teachers are employed; and the sbholars number 19,901. At the recent session of the French Confe rence statistics were given as follows: Chapels and other preaching places, 184; ministers, 30; evangelists and teachers, 22; local preachers, 101; members, 2049, with 107 on trial; day schools, 9, with 321 scholars; and 52 Sunday schools, with 310 teachers and 2539 scholars. These fignres show an increase of 10 places of worship, 61 members, and 190 Sunday-school scholars. There is a small decrease in the local preachers and the Sunday-schools. LUTHERAN. The Theological 8eminary ef the Lutheran Church in the South has been located at Colom bia, S. C, and Revs. A. R. Rude and J. P. Smeltzer have been elected professors. The Swedish Lutheran Synod which met lately at Andover, Illinois, refused the petition of a part of tho church in Princeton, Illinois, begging that laymen and colporteurs might be allowed to hold meetings in the church. The Board of Trustees of Pennsylvania Col lege, at Gettysburg, la., lias at last approved the nomination of the Rev. Henry E. Jacobs for the "jfranKun rrotessorsnip." ine Rev. o. Scntman has accepted the position of Superin tendent of the Preparatory Department. Pro fessor V. L. Conrad has resigned the chair of Physical Sciences. REFORMED. The Rev. Dr. Ormlston, of Hamilton, Onta rio, has accepted the call from the Collegiate Reformed Church of New York, and his induc tion is expected to take place in September. Hon. Joseph P. Bradley of the United States Supreme Court, and Frederick T. Freling huysen, just appointed Minister to England, are members in the North Reformed Church in Newark, New Jersey. BAPTIST. The houee at Raleigh, N. C, recently occu pied by lion. Kenneth, nayner, lias been pur chased for $15,000, to establish a Female Semi nary, with the Rev. W. Royall, D. D., late of Wake forest college, as rrlnclpai. The new Baptist church in Westerly, R. I., said to be open communion, was recognized by a council of ministers and delegates selected irom three associations, ine church publishes a statement that they do not wish to be con sidered " 'open communion' in the popular use ot that term." lliey simply invite nobody and exclude nobody, and their members will not be disciplined lor communion with other churches. For all practical purposes they are "open com munion; ana wis is an eitort to give recognized position in the Baptist denomination of this country t churches that sympathize with Spurgeon s and most English Baptist churches on this pout. CATHOLIC. Father nccker brings back from Rome a special indulgence granted by the Pope to the Society of Christian Doctrine in St. Paul's Church, New York. This is a society to dis tribute tracts, convert Protestants, and educate children. During the first three years of its existence it has distributed 500 books, 700,000 tracts, and taught the catechism to 1200 children. -Father Hecker announces that all who join the society shall have a plenary indulgence of all their sins, and 300 days' indulgence for every work of Christian charity, which indulgences may be transierrea to souis in purgatory. The Queen's State Breakfasts. The New York lleraUVa correspondent writes: Last year, and again on Friday, the 21th of this month, ner Majesty has added to the fashion able stamp of these parties by giving one herself. Last year it was at Buckingham Palace; this year it was at Windsor. It was called a "state breakfast;" but how an enter tainment to which the guests were only asked at 5 o'clock in the afternoon could be called a breakfast I leave others to decide. Windsor Castle is some sixteen miles from London, and every person asked to the fete was pro vided with, a ticket, or pass, by which, he or she, as the case might be, would be taken by special train from the Great "Western Railway station at Paddington right away to Windsor, ine said railway station was magnificently got up, part of the platform being carpeted in scarlet cloth, and railed off so that the ladies and gentlemen on their way to Windsor might not be herded with. "the common crowd. ine "common crowd," however, consisting of many bun dreds of the upper middle classes, was there to see the departure of the fortunate guests of royalty. My countrymen are there is no use disguising the fact very much given to "flunkey ism. To see, to behold even at a distance, to bow to royalty is to them a de light that cannot be expressed in words. But if they cannot get royalty to bow to, the next best thing is to bow to those who are fpin to where royalty is. Almost the first person to put in an ap pearance was your representative at the Court of St. James, Mr, Motley. He looked ;:a. 3 - ii in capiiai npirun, was uapper, weit-aressea and shook Hands warmly with Lord Claren don (the very day on which his lordship took Lis fatal illness) and Lord GreoviUe, who ctmie together. Rn noon as the station master had cot some two hundred of the guests he bundled them into the first special train, and off it started for its destination. Your representative and our Foreign Secretary, Lord Clarendon, and our Under Foreign Secretary, Mr. Otway, with the ladies of their respective parties, au went in one compartment; and as on arrival at Windsor station there is still a five-minutes' drive to the Castle, they had, of course, the advantage of one of the royal carriages to take them on. The Chinamen in Boston. The Boston ro.it devotes a long article to describing the appearance and peculiarities of the Chinese shoemakers in lioston, in the course oi which it says: These Chinamen are as neat as cats. The first day they arrived the whole afternoon and evening were given up to ablu tions, and by ten o clock every man had not only thoroughly bathed ana scrubbed, but had washed every stitch of clothing he wore on the journey, from handkerchief to socks. Since then not a day has passed that some of them are not in the ample waRh-roora, performing thorough ablu tions; several of them taking a bath daily, and none less often than once a week. They shave their heads from once in fifteen days to once in three weeks, each performing the operation for his neighbor. It is an amus ing sight to look in upon them early in the morning when ten or twenty may be seen un dergoing his thorough tonsorial manipulation and coming out with glistening scalps, save a circular patch as large as the palm of the hand on the crown, from which grows a tress which is the envy of fashionable belles for its length and Rlossiness. This is then dex terously and particularly braided till it re- sembles a close, firm rope. There is but one mirror in the party, a small one about four inches square, hung at one end of the back room, but it is sufficient, as their vanity appears not to be largely developed. None of the Orientals use liquor, and but four of them, including the two cooks, to bacco. Neither are any addicted to opium or gambling, both so long considered distinc tively Chinese vices, .hither this party is far superior to the ordinary run of the race, or the nation has been grossly slandered, and 1 am inclined to believe it is the former. Their whole appearance is far different from and vastly superior to that of the Chinamen who are to be found in New York selling bad cigars or doubtful candy. As I have said, all are educated m their own language, and some of them have even studied medicine and the law. They are capital chess-players,' and repay the teachings of their young American friends by instructing them in that scientific and engrossing game. FURNACES. Established in 1835.
