THE DAILY EVENING TELEUUAi'H PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1870. OUR ELCLiaiOUS column. SUMMARY OF CUUHCll NEWS. EPISCOPAL. According to the Church Almanac for 1871, the Protestant F.plscotml Church of the United (Hates, l:iBt ycur, had H9 dioceses, 9 missionary jurisdiction, 52 bishop?, 278(5 priests and dea cone, and alout !3!JO,000 couimunlcants an In crease over last )car of about 20,090. The Rev. Canon Jebb, one of the Old Tes tament Revision Company, has sent in his resignation, as he has made tip his mind against revision, dienpproves of any but members of the Church of England being on the company, and also of the mixed communion service in West minster Abbey. The Irish Church Convention, which had the task of reorganizing the disestablished An glican Church of Ireland, has brought its labors to a close. Its place will now be taken by the lieneral Synod of the Irish Church, which the Convention has constituted, while the Church Body, which it has also constituted, will be the representative body for holding property and forming the medium of communication with the State. Nobody seems to anticipate any serious danger from the committee appointed to "con sider whether, without making such alterations in the Liturgy or formalities o: our Church as would involve simply a chango in her doctrine, any measure can bo adopted which may bo cal culated to check the introduction and spread of novel doctrines and practices opposed to the principles of our Reformed Church." An interesting matter in connection with the Irish Church Convocation is the rapproche vievt that has already been made by its means with the Primitive Wcsleyan Methodists of Ire land. Between this and other Nonconformist bodies there is ra Ireland a great distinction; as the Anglican Church has always fraternized with them, and was much assisted by them in the late great struggle for the establishment. They have now asked to be admitted into closer union with the Anglican Church of their fathers, and a committee of the Convention, headed by one of the archbishops, has reported favorably of the prospects of union. A manifesto from one of the leaders of the English Ultra-Ritualists, Mr. Orby Shipley, pro claims the immediate establishment of a body of oratorians who are to have a grand central church and services in London, on private ground, independent of Episcopal control, for the purpose of heading and organizing the ritualistic dissenters of the country. PRESBYTERIAN. In Kentucky, the strife between the South ern and Northern Presbyterians continues. The -committees appointed by the synods to confer concerning some plan by which all could be united in the support of Centre College met In Lexington recently, and had several confer ences, but without arriving at any satisfac tory result, l'be Kentucky Statesman says: '"It was found that no agreemeut could be arrived at, and the conferences adjourned without tiling a date for reassembling, but, subject to a -call, will meet again. The iirst proposition before the conference was one from the General Assembly Committee, that each synod, by formal act, should 'recognize each other as Christian brethren and Presbyterians, notwithstanding the differences in the interpretation or Borne of our common standards.' This was rejected by the committee of the Synod South for two reasons: 1st. Because they thought it unnecessary. 2d. Because they had no authority to do so. Propositions were then made by the 8ynod of Kentucky (South) party to have the charter changed so as to recognize their fall and equal property rights. A proposition was also made from the General Assembly Synod party for a joint government of the Institution for a term of years by trustees from each synod, without affecting, in any way, the pro perty question. But no conclusion was reached on either of these propositions, aad so the con ference broke up without agreement. The consultations of the brcthreu ungated in the conference were pleusant and fraternal." The religious denominations of this country generally regard as a sign of real progress the proposal to establish a missionary professorship In the newly established university at Wooster, O. The design of this professorship is to make students acquainted with the religious habits and customs of the whole heathen world, to lay the foundation of an easy acquisition of the languages of the heathen nations, and to culti vate a mission a r' spirit. Thirteen persons made a public profession of religion on the first Sabbath of December, and were received into Thalia Street Presbyte rian Church, New Orleans, of which the ilev. William I'linn is pastor. Nino of them were pupils in the Sabbath School. FRIENDS. The Quakers of New England number 4500. Their admissions to membership during the year were only 35, while they reported 75 deaths. METHODIST. The Burlington Hawk Eye says that five Methodist churches have been built in Hardin county this year: at Eldora, Iowa Palls, Steam boat Rock, Providence, and Berlin, and the sixth has been commended at Union. Methodism has been introduced into Portu gal. Mr. Cat-sell, a liberal Wesleyan, has built a chapel and formed a society at Oporto. BAPTIST. The Second Baptist Church in Chicago numbers 108'J. It raised last year $48,370; of which less than one-quarter was used for home purposes. None of this was obtained by fairs. The Rev. R. B. Kelsay, of High Street Bap tist Church, Baltimore, has resigned the pasto ral charge of that church, and accepted a call to the Tabernacle Baptist Church of Albany, N. Y., at a 6alary of $4000 a year. CONGREGATIONAL. No pastor will be called for the Yale Col lege Church till the completion of the memo rial chapel, which will probably bo begun In the spring. The National Conference of Congregational Churches has adopted the name "National Coun cil." The objects In view are: First, to express and foster the substantial unit' of the churches In doctrine, policy, and work. Second, to con sult upon tue common Interests of our churches; their duties in the work of evamrelization: united development of their resources, and their relations to all parts oi tue Kingdom ot Christ: to provide a simple organization, with as few officers and as limited dutieo as may be con sistent with tiliclency of council; in advancing the principles and securing the objects of proper brganizution. A committee was appointed to uraii a constitution. Rev D. A.
