THE DA 1L F EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1870 G 5 OVA RELIGIOUS C0X.UMI7. AT THE BEAUTIFUL HATE. Lo d, open tlo door, for I falter; I faint In this stifled air; In dust nd etraiRhtness I lone my breath; Thif 'fc of self Is a living death; Let me into Thy pastures broad and fair, To tbe sun and the wind from the mountains lii-t; Lord, open the door to me. Through tbe rosy portals of morning,, Now the tides of sunshine flow; O'er tbe blossoming earth aud the glistening sea, The praise Thon inspired rolls back to Thee; Its tones through tbe infinite arches go; Yet crippled and dumb behold me wait, Dear Lord, at the Beautiful Gate. Thyself art the Door, Most Holy 1 By Thee let me enter in ! I press towards Thee with my failing strength; Unfold Tby love in its breadth and length; True life from Thine let my spirit win ! To the faints' fair city, the Father's throne, Thon, Lord, art the way alone, from tbe deeps of unseen glory. Now 1 feel the flooding light. O rare sweet winds from Thy hills that blow! O river so calm In Us crystal Sow ! O love nnfatbomed the depth, the height! What joy wilt Thon not nnto me Impart, When Thou shalt enlarge ny heart ! To be made with Thee one spirit, Is the boon that I lingering ask, To have no bar 'twist my soul and Thine; Ut thoughts to echo Thy will divine; Mytelf Ibv.iervant for any tat-k; Life! life! I may enter through Tn iee, the Door t-aved, sheltered, forevermore ! SAFETY OF THE BELIEVER. It needs a great stretch of faith sometimes, when the tccroy comes in like a flood, lo be lieve that Qod is as much at peace with me tnrongh Christ, as with those already above; that Abraham now in glory is not safer than I am. Is that presumptuous, do yon think? What a precious name, a strong tower, Into which, if we run, we shall be safe ! Were I left to myself I should run from it. I would not trust myself to His word, but seek to save myself from dan ger. But almighty love arrests me, pulls me in; and then rewards me for coming. How much is there in those words, "are safe" to think we are safe from everything! No evil shall ever touch ns evil at the end, or evil on the way. I have heard it told through one who was present at the shipwreck of the Kent, as a re markable circumstance, that every mother in Ler imminent peril, as if by instinct, turned to her youngest child and clasped it In her arms. Bo does the Lord to the helpless believer. Will any say that those children, who, exulting in strength, were left to themselves, were more safe than the helpless infant whose life depended on the parent's life ? Maternal lore alone Preserves tbem first and last; Their parents' arms, and not their own, Were those that held them fast. Blessed be God, He loves not according to our desert, but according to our necessity. Blesssd be God, Is it not written, His blessed blood can cleanse from all the evil we see, bnt what He sees? SUMMARY OF CIIUUCU NEWS. nriscorAL. "The Episcopalians have,"' says the Indrpeud tnt, "In the portion of New York city between Fourteenth streetand the Bowery more churches, probably, than any other denomination. Yet there are four wards, with a population of 78,712, in which they do not have a single church, and six more in which they have but one each. Eight parishes have moved up from below Fourteenth street, six of them from below Canal street, and have made their property by the sale of their land; but in no case have they left a vestige of church work behind them." The Santec mission m Dakotah, according to the Churchman, lias done much to civilize the neighboring Indians. Paint, dances, and feasts are abandoned. The women wear dresses, and the men have given up the costume of bar barism. Christ Church, in Fifth nvenue, New York, has sold out to St. Bartholomew's Church for $200,000. The rector of the bankrupt church is Kev. Dr. Ewer, who rendered himself so con picuouB some time ago by preaching a series of sermons on "Prctestantibm a failure." Protes tantism is still solvent. Tbe corner-stone of the Talman Memorial Church of the Beloved Disciple aud Home for Indigent Females was laid in New York, re cently, at the corner of Madison avenue and Eighty-ninth street. From the fovrteenth annual report of the Society for the Increase of the Ministry, we learn that the number of students aided last year it 149, from SO States and Territories, and 30 dioceses. During the year 3:3 candidates were ordained. Since the organization of the society, 518 students have received aid, aud 204 Lave been ordained. The Kev. Philander K. Cady, D. D., hat been elected Professor of Systematic Divinity in the General Episcopal Seminary in New York city, to fill tbe vacancy caused by the death of Dr. Mahau, of Baltimore. METHODIST. Two of the most prominent New England ministers are going West Kev. M. M. Park hurst and Kev. Dr. Coggeshall. The latter is stationed at Sheboygan, Wisconsin, a nourish ing city on Lake Michigan, about two hundred miles north of Chicago. The former is to go to Grace Church, Chicago, the new and elegant church on the North Side. Bishop Ames say s that no mission of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in the first five months of its history, had more tokens of the Divine. blessing thau has tbe Utah mission. A layman in New York offers to maintain for a year a Methodist missionary at Havana, Cuba, to preach in English aud study the lan guage of the people. Rev. Dr. Leroy M. Lee has retired front the associate editorship of the Richmond (Va.) Advocate Central College, Southern Methodist, at Fayette, Mo., has completed an endowment of 1 100,000. The Boston Wesleyan Association building, erected at a cost of f 200,000, was recently dedi cated. A dally religious paper is said to be in contemplation by the association. The Free Methodists at their late conference in New York adopted resolutions against Chris tian women adorning themselves with "useltss fripperies and vanititt, such as trimmings, laces, braids, embroideries, strips of velvet, and other nonsensical gewgaws." The appropriations for mission work at borne and abroad have been completed by the missionary committee, and the apportionment for missions during the year 1871 is on a basis of 700,000, inclusive of 175,000 required to west drafts not yet fulJy due. PRESBYTERIAN, The Domestic Missionary Committee of the Presbytery of New Orleans reported the em ployment of the Rev. James McConnell, at a salary of one thousand dollars, as its evange list in tbe region west of the river known as the "Teche Country," and his entrance npon his labors. The Ctntral Prtilyterian says the Kev. Thomas Smythe, D. D-, of Charleston, 8. O., passed throogh Richmond, Va,, lately, on hit return home from a summer sojourn iu tbe mountains. He has been spending some months at the Rockbridge Baths, with very great benefit to his health. Long and severe visitations have repeatedly prostrated most of a is physical powers; to which have been added dispensations of Providence bringingjheavy cala mities in regard to things temporal. It 1 grati fying and surprising to see how, amid all these things, the spring of his great mental activity is continued. He returns home with bis head full of literary schemes, and his heart more than ever burning with a desire to preach the un searchable riches of Christ. Some one has offered a 1500 present per year for the remainder of the college course to that student of tbe freshman class at Princeton who shall, at the conclusion of this college year, pats the best classical examination. It requires an examination in authors not included in the curriculum. The Fmbtterian calculates that since 1851 the growth of denominational liberality has been three times as great as its growth in mem bership. "Tbe average of congregational con tributions to each communicant was, in 1851, 15 02; and in 1870, f 14 37. Embracing all the money columns, congregational and beuevolent, the overage to each communicant was, in 1851, tt P5; in 1S70, 118 90. Kev. Dr. Smith, of tbe Union Theological Seminary, New York, has recently returned to the seminary after an absence of two years, made necessary by 111 health. At the recent dedication of Dickinson Hall, at Princston, Precldent McCosh stated that tbe cost of the building left Intact the $100,000 given bv Mr. Green for another purpose. Mr. Green had increased his gift of $50,000 for the build ing, to meet the demands of the architect to carry out the most desirable plan. Kev. Dr. Anson J. Upson, late of ILvnilton College, has succeeded the venerable Dr. Sprague as pastor of the Secoud Presbyterian Church of Albany. At a lale meeting of St. Louis Prcebylery au application for admission into tbe commuuion of the United Presbyterian Church, from the Kev. W. J. Gillespie, of the Reformed Presby terian Church, (Old-school,) was presented, and Mr. Gillespie received. At a late meeting of tbe Presbytery of Prineeton, tbe Rev. John McMaster, I). D., pre sented a certificate in behalf of himself and con gregation, to connect with the Presbytery of Prineeton. The certificate was accepted, and he, with his congregation, received into Pres bytery. Tbe congregation will be known as the Second United Presbyterian Church of Prince ton. CONGREGATIONAL. The First Chnrch and parish in Pittsfleld, Mass., have reluctantly accepted the resigna tion of Dr. Todd, to take effect two years from next January. The Kev. Joseph Ward became pastor two years ago of the only Congregational church in Dacotab. Since then his own church has be come f elf-sustaining, and he has organized four others. ' In Massachusetts statistics show that the COBgregauonaiisls nave more than twice as many sittings as any other denomination Their church property is not quite twico that of the Episcopalians or Roman Catholics. Their church sittings are 209,314; Baptist, 133,805; Catholic, 130,415; Methodist, 117,325; Unitarian, 98,306; Episcopal, 40,245; Universalist. 35.037. Of church edifices the Congregationalists have SUU; Methodists, tf'.KJ; Uapusts, 5JSO; Unitarian, 179; CaUiolic, 161; Episcopal, 90; Universalist. 87. The Catholics have over 800 sittings to each churc h. No other denomination has bOO. The Mission Chapel of the First Congrega tional Church of Oakland, (Jul., was burned recently. Loss, $1500. Many Congregational socicties"are paying off their church debts as their memorial offer ings this year. The Hudson and Litchfield churches, Mich., are building $15,000 houses of worship. The golden wedding of Rev. Dr. Joshua Leavitt and wife was celebrated on the 1st inst , with rare cordiality, by a host of friends. Dr. Leavitt is one of the editors of the New York Independent, and is widely known and esteemed. The venerable couple received many handsome and costly tokens of regard. The 30th of November is the day set apart by the Congregational is ts for a sermon and col lection in all their churches in favor of the Congregational House to be built in Boston. It is expected that 100,000 will be added to the f 00,000. already in band for this purpose. A Welsh Congregational Church was or ganized at Cleveland, Ohio, October 9, with 23 members. LUTHERAN. The Rev. Professor Hasselquist has safely returned from his mission to Sweden, bringing with him some twenty candidates for the min istry, who are now with him at the institution at Paxton, Illinois. Several of these candidates have already completed both their collegiate and theological preparation, and will be or dained within a few months. There is a very gratifying increase iu the strength and activity of the Lutheran Chnrch in this country, As far as has been ascertained it now numbers 52 oianized synods, 2086 minis ters, 3544 congregations, and 425,500 communi cants. This is a gain of 4 synods, 70 ministers. und 30,000 communicants on the reports given in 1870. There are now in operation 7 theologi cal seminaries, 16 colleges, aud over 30 periodi cals In the American Church. The effort is being made to unite the New Jersey, Ilartwick, Franckean, and New York Synods (all belonging to the General Synod) into one body. The whole third of a dozen would make a body embracing eighty ministers, and fc'COO communicants. BAPTIST. The edifies formerly occupied as the College of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, Vacavllle, bat been secured by tbe Baptists for educational purposes. The Rev. J. E. Barnes, of Silveyvllle, gave an acconnt of securing the Vacavllle College for $4000, property which cost In buildinus, etc., $25,000. Mr. Tracy II. Harris died in Paris last vear, leaving by a codicil to his will $20,000 to the American Baptist Home Missionary Society, but the codicil was refused probate by the Sur rogate on the ground that it was not properly executed. The society appealod to the General Term of the Supreme Court, and has obtatued a decision in its favor. MISCELLANEOUS. Prater tor the Holy SriRiT.
