The Porous Plasters aretilixible, and found of great help to those who have weak backs, or pain in the side. Especially are they valuable to those who have neglected colds They are often preventives of Consumption; nay, they aro be lieved to have often loosened the green of this terrible affliction, and been mainly instrumental in effecting a cure. Invariable climates they should be worn on the 'breast or between the shoulders. or over the kidneys, by those who are subject to take cold easily. This simple slam will noon produce a constitutional vigor that will enable it to resist extraordinary changes of temperature.

I wore the plaster three weeks, and duce the second day after alad3ing it, have had as strong and well a back as any one. If I had paid fifty donne for a plaster I should have considered it cheap.

COBRIIPTION IN THE SENATE. It has happened again and again, since the outbreak of the rebellion, that the Senate has been found lagging behind the. House, and, at times, the House lagging behind the great instinctive sentiments of the country. In the later years the Ouse has permanently moved up to the frontTne of the public will, but the Senate has usually hung back, shrinking from great responsibilities until they have been forced upon them. This, however, has not been the case in the impeachment of the President. The Senate assumed its responsi bilities promptly and fearlessly, accepting the challenge which Andrew Johnson cast into the teeth of the outraged law, and joining issue with him in the name of the Constitu tion and of all the people. The Senate, as a body, has been true, and Johnson, finding that he could not control the mass, has attacked it in detail, and with a degree of success that has filled the country with distress, indignation and alarm. He Sias gone round about the Republican lines, testing the fidelity of one sentinel after an other, until be has found the weak points and has overcome them. Corruption has done its work with men who have hitherto borne irreproachable names before the world, and they have sunk into sudden infamy, from which 111. The inducements and appliances of corruption are numerous and powerful be yond what has ever been known in the his tory of this nation. The illicit whisky and tobacco interests have everything at stake in the impeachment of Andrew Johnson. Mil lions of revenue are involved in the question of his conviction or acquittal, and it is so well known that this illicit traffic depends, in great measure, on his retention in office, that there is no difficulty in securing all the money that may be needed for the purpose. IV. There is no ground upon which any claim for honesty: can -be founded, in the case of theie Senators. They are fully aware of all the consequences which must follow on the heels of their treachery. Their own de struction is their own affair. •No one will mourn over that. But men do rot tonally overturn all the professions of a life-time, and run counter to all the opinions and in fluence of the great mass of their colleagues, and strike hands with a man whom they have despised and denounced, and open the hood-gates of despotism and confusion upon their country, and cast off the respect and support of honest and decent men, from pure and noble and upright motives. V. •The conduct of these Senators has n ot been that of honest men. Had they been acting upon any manly conviction of duty; had they been men of clear consciences and clean hands, they would not have taken such pains to hide their purpose from their friends. "He that doeth truth, cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest." Grimes, it is true, was not able to conceal his treacherous purpose, for with him a deep personal spite is the controlling motive, but Fessenden, Trumbull and Henderson wore their disguises to the last, and only cast them off when they were no longer possible. For these and other considerations, it is out of the question to talk about the honesty of these recreant Senators. Some of them are men of not very brilliant intellect, but none of them are deficient enough in brains to establish the one saving plea of imbecility. They have listened to the inducements, po litical and personal, which Andrew Johnson and his friends have poured into their ears, and they have fallen. There is too much in dignation at their faithlessness to leave any room for regret over their loss to their party, or pity for the shame they have brought upon 1 their good names. J. NV. JOHNSON, M. D CHARLES BATTY. L. 11. SHERWOOD there is no hope of redemption. Fessentlen, Grimes, Henderson, and Trumbull, if no more, have sold themselves and betrayed their great trust, each for, his own price, This is the sober verdict of the people, and it is grounded upon an intelligent common sense. That these men have been corrupted, and have betrayed their avowed principles for some price, is evident from several considera tions, both of a positive and a negative Character. I. These recreant Senators have again and again recorded their votes in favor of the law which they now condemn, and in condemna tion of the criminal whom they now, be friend. There is no honesty in this sort of inconsistency.. 11. No pretence is made that any evidence has been presented or argument made for Mr. Johnson's defence which was not per fectly familiar to these men long before this trial was thought of. There is, therefore, a total absence of all ostensible cause for their defection. TIDE TREE NUISANCE ON SOUTH , B ROAD STREET. The shocking and lamented death of Mr. Lemuel S. Levering, from being hurled against a tree while driving on South Broad street, haEl at last awakened the public to the necessity of removing the trees that form what is miscalled a "Boulaard." This is the third fatal accident from the same cause within a year, and there have been many others not fatal. The trees make the car riage-ways so narrow, that there is constant liability to such accidents on days when there is much driving, and this fact, with the sad illustrations it has had, ought to be suf ficient reason for ordering the removal of all the trees and the restoration of the street to its former condition. But, besides this, the trees do not thrive they are continually damaged and broken by cattle ; none of them are ornamental ; they afford no such shade as would make a prome nade among them agreeaille,and the dust from passing vehicles world spoil them for such a promenade. Such it sight as promenaders in the so-called "Boulevard" is entirely un known. The uselessness of the trees is, there pre, acknowledged. Now that there have been so many deaths and injuries from them, there ought to be no hesitation about remov ing every tree, and we trust the subject will be acted upon at the meeting of City Coun cils to-morrow. Those citizens interested in the improvement of the street, who have la bored so effectively to have the freight rail road removed south of Market street, should unite their energies with those owning prop erty further South, so that the street may be made safe for those who ride and drive upon it, whose number increases every year. THE EPISCOPAL CONVENTION. We devote considerable space to-day to the proceedings of the Episcopal Convention, now in session at St. Andrew's Church, in this city. The important religious body re presented by this Convention embraces a large proportion of the intelligence, cultiva tion, wealth, social influence and benevolent enterprise of this community. The Conven tion has a number of interesting subjects be fore it, among which is the question of the employment of Christian women in the work of-the Church. A very interesting report on this subject will be found in to-day's paper. The division of the Diocese will also be discussed, and excites much interest among the clergy, THE DAISY `E -- - 11 'gi' W IN ' l4 `0 as it involves the selection of another bishop. The much agitated 'question of Ritualism will also probably 'come up, in the form of an effort to establish a Philadelphia "St. Al ban's," which, having been opposed by the Standing Committee, will, it is understood, be brought before the Convention. These are some of the more prominent topics which will engross the attention and deliberations of the Convention, of which we shall lay full reports before our readers. We are glad to see that Bishop Stevens has sufficiently re covered from his recent accident to resume his official duties, and to preside over this im portant Convention of bis Diocese. The master p bricklayers of this city are agi tating the apprentice question, and they in sist upon their right to take more than two apprentices each, the number to which the rules of the associated journeymen now limit them. The Journeymen's Union warmly op poses the movement, and if the employers at tempt to carry into effect their desire to man age their own business in their own way,there will probably be a strike, and while the im provement and progress of the city are re tarded by the movement, the families of hun dreds of men, who might be usefully and pm stably employed, will suffer from want. But this is not all; boys who should be learning trades will be left.to, run the streets in idle ness, and grow up worse than useless mem bers of society; and when the building season is at an end, and work is no longer to be ob tained,there will be want and suffering among families because husbands and fathers refused to make hay while the sun shone. The Burr Lam has always held, and it still holds, that the services of every man are worth what ever they will bring, and however unwise exorbitant demands for wages may be, the journe,yrnen have - the right to manage their own affairs in theft; own way. But when they go a step farther and also undertake to man age the business of their employers, and dic tate to them how many apprentices each shall be permitted to take, they go entirely too far, and enter into a conspiracy to accom plish a mischievous purpose. We are per suaded that if a test case were made and brought before the courts of law, it would be decided that such combinations and move ments are impertinent, contrary to public policy, and of course illegal. A State Fenian Convention is now in ses sion at Syracuse, New York. It has adopted an address to the "Irish Nationality of New York" (what is the "Irish Nationality of New York ?") in which it says: "We have pledged ourselves to meet the enemy soon upon• the battle-field, and we earnestly call upon you to exercise your utmost energies to furnish the necessary means to equip and arm the many thousands of willing hands and brave hearts impatiently waiting the order to march." What enemy and what battle field? We presume that either Canada, Eng land or Ireland is to furnish the battle-field; but as the United States are at peace with Great Britain, American citizens, whether native or of Irish birth, have no right to con trive war upon a friendly power. If the Fenian Convention is made up of unnaturalized foreigners, they have no more . right to plot mischief upon our soil than rebel emissaries in Canada had a right to plan raids, steamboat piracies and hotel burnings in the United States. We have much and just cause of complaint against Great Britain and against the people and the authorities of Canada for the aid and comfort aiorded the enemies of the United States during the time of the Rebellion. Two wrongs do not make a right, and whatever, may be the private feelingd of Americans in respect to the rights of England or the wrongs of Ireland, we should be careful not to follow an example which has brought about international complications and diffi culties that seem about as far off from a sat isfactory solution as ever. The trial of John H. Surratt was called up yesterday and postponed. Of 'course there will be ' further postponements, then perhaps will come the mockery of a trial before a Washington jury, then a disagreement, and finally a discharge of the prisoner. So we go. Jefferson Davis not only unpunished for his great crimes,but the object of Southern glorifi cations; one of the assassins of the martyr Lin coln an actor in a, judicial farce, and Andrew Johnson, the meanest, if not the greatest,.cul prit of them all, threatening to cheat justice through the treachery of Senators who, in their degree, are as false to their professions and principles as the Tennessee apos tate himself. Heaven help the Re public when it is not only com pelled to struggle against its open foes and with baffled rebels, but when its own honored servants betray their sacred trusts and sell themseivei out to the Presidential Catiline. Mr. Lincoln made a prophetic utterance when he spoke of " a governmen of the pdople, by the people, for the people." The people who carried the country through the dread struggle of the rebellion, who de stroyed the cause of our national troubles and who restored our national integrity, will right the wrongs of the nation in the present crisis and send the ti ibe of stultified traitors, Johnson, Grimes, Fessenden and the rest of them, into a purgatory of infamy in com parison to which utter blank oblivion would be a merciful boon. • The Union Pacific Railroad is moving to wards the Pacific coast at the rate of three hundred miles a year. The track of the Omaha route is now laid five hundred and eighty miles west of that town, and ten thou sand workmen are shortening the distance to ward the setting sun at a rapid rate. Pos terity, when it comes to study the history of the present era, will turn with disgust from• the perusal of treachery and corruption in high places,to contemplate the grand achieve ment of an age which spanned the immense gap between the Missouri river and the Pa cific, which overcame the great, mountain barrier of The far West, and which threw open to the use of man the agricultu ral and mineral resources of half a con tinent. Amid the grave aspects of affairs at Wash ington, there are one or two gleams of actual humor. Mr. Henderson, whoee colleagues have demanded of him hie resignation or the perforniance Obis' duty, is reported as hav ing promised, in lieu of his vote for convic- tins, that he "will stumpy his Statefor the Radical ticket at 11w coming election." We are not told whether this magnificent offer has been accepted or not, but we greatly mistake the Republican party of Missouri, if it ever permits a man, who proves recreant in such a crisis as this, to serve again among its standard-bearers. Such men will be driven over to the enemy, where they belong, and not be trusted with fresh opportunities to de ceive and betray the, people who confide power to their bands. 'Mr. Henderson's mag nanimous offer, if it was really made, has a sublime impudence about it which affords quite a relief to the otherwise sombre view of his misconduct. Bunting, nuroorow A: Co..

Church of the Dieem of Pennsylvania reassembled at St. An drew's Church, in Eighth street, above Spruce, this morning, for Divine services. Despite the inclemency of the weather, a large congregation was in attendance. The services commenced at 10 o'clock. Rev. Thos. B. Barker, read the intro ductory services; Rev. John Bolton, the lessons, Deuteronomy xxx and John xr,; Rev. Wm. L. lialicy the Creed and Litany and special thanks giving, prepared by the Bishop at the request of the Convention, as in grateful recognition of recovery, as follows : "0 God, who art the giver of life, of health and safety. we, Iby t. um tile servants, the council of Thy Church here assembled in Thy name and .presence, desire to render lhte our hearty thanks that Thou bast been pleased to conduct Tits , servant, the /11,1inp. of this Diocese, In safety through the perils of the great deep, through all the ride pitudes of foreign travel. and especially that Thou hest delivered him from imminent death and au - Jevons bodily richness, and restored him to our midst with such a good ineasore of health and strength. _ "Gracious art Tbou, 0 Lord. sad full of compassion tO the children of men.

Dr. Watson then delivered the annual Convention Sermon, by appointment, as follows : Philippians I, 21-" For to me to live is Clarist."-The inspired expression of Apostolic experience must always be valuable to us, or prohtable for our coasideration. it will be interesting first of all. to see by what steps the Apostle reached this dechirstion lie was at the time a prisoner for the cause of Christ Yet be does not complain: rather, he is satisfied with it, because, in the providence of God. it bad fallen out onto the furtherance of the Go.pel: since, with the fact of his - imprisonment time COMM of it bad come to be known in the palace of Cava:. ea well as in all other placed of the imperial city: and since, by his bonds in Cihrist the brethren-had been stirred up to greater boldneas and fear. keenemin retaking the word.' 'this was indeed a cause of great satisfaction to him, notwithstanding his tabula. tions. But one thing somewhat marred that satisfaction. There was a contrarely among tsosc who preached the Word-not in the theme preached-for that was first and always Christ; but in the spirit by which they were actuated. "Some," ea} a he, 'indeed, preach Chrug even of envy and strife; and some also of goodwill; the one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds; but the other of love. k owing that lam vet for the defence of the Gospel." But the dis- turbance of his feelings on that account was only tram , eient and on the surface. In his inmost heart 110 was able to rise above it, and say-" What then I' Notwithstand ing, every Way, whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea; and will re. joice." feeble Apostle! who could thus lose himself in the glory of hie master-for r every grievance in the thought, that the light of thatglor y was advancing by any meats-pat Die hand on his eart, as a anon, and bid it be still. In the persumion that his work, as an Apostk, was furthered by hie sufferings. Nayl he was ready not only to acquiesce in this dbpsneation, but to rejoice in it anti as now, so alwas a It might be, Indeed, that this contention would lead to still greater suflerings, on his part, perhaps, even to death itself. But what of that? His final salvation in Christ he knew was secure; while he felt confident that "in nothing het would be ashamed, but that in all bold. nem, as always, so now. Christ would be magnified in his body, whether it be by life or death." And then comes the triumphant outburst-as gathering up in one word all that be could say of himself. as a man and an Apostle- Foe TO Mn TO LIVE 15 Cumari" To some thoughts growing out of this declaration, and Pertaining io us, individually,' as ministers of Christ (those of us who are such.) and In our sods' relations, we now invite our attention, And not forgetting that nu whose truth we would de. cbse is nowpreisent ith us, as those who are gathered together in /1 - 114 naMe, we invoke Ills gracious influence. 1, We look to see what instruction the teat has for us ae 'individuate: and we leant. 1.

Even as, at the last there will be an "outer darkness," the eternal portion of them who would not belong to the kingdom of light: so that "outer darkness" now is in its principles and govern muds: in which they remain who refuse to know Christ, but from which they have emerged Ivrho by, repentance have renounced it, and by faith have united themselves to Him. - But what is the practical operation, we may ask, here? Our moral life over moves among objects which are ad. dressed to the reason and the desires. Before conver sion these are chiefly such as nature presents--those which faith apprehends being either unknown or treated as unknown. But whether so limited or not, they are judged and dipposed of according to natural principles, which, in our corrupt state, are identical with that world which know* not God. `Hence the designation of the un. converted as wor l dly-meaning thereby such as have that world as their t ortion-as the sphere in which thee' mere. But now conversion changes all this-all this, I say; for it does not affect apart but the whole of a man. taking him out of the world, and bringieg him into Christ. The same objects now address themzeives to him an before, enlarged. indeed, by those which faith beholds,• but whether the one or the other, they are judged and disposed of by principles derived from Chrietand not from the world. And thus down to the commonest act of out. ward, and the most inconsiderable thought oflinward the man is a Christian-simply because all is begun con tinued and ended in the Lord.

And beloved. felt as be telt it., what will it not do lor us.? Without the coneciousnees of it, we can hardly , move in Christ tte our new sphere; but with it He will become OS if our natural, as He is our true, world of being and of action. Tile dwelling of Chriet in us Is the starting point for all that Scripture rapt of our conformity with Him in His death and resurrection, and ascensi o n. even to the sitting with Him in heavenly pieces; which becomes again I he_ground of th at e ff ort which we should put forth, to, make this conformity complete In fact, as it le In idea, arid thus engender the hope, the "hope Which maketh not ashamed," that as we are planted together in the likeuees of His death, we: shall he also in tie likeness of his resur. potion—knowing that if We be dead with Him, wo shell also live with Him, aid because he lives, we shall live also.. This is Indeed. the life - over which death has no power, and the earnest even that our morbid bodies ehall be redeemed It om the power of the grave. 3. But yet awn. Not only does %riot live In us, but we live in Firm; and we cannot doubt that thin, too, is wrapt up in the amplitude of the Apostle'e declaration,. And how much is comprehended In this! It expresses nothing lens than our posithin In Christ as the new stand ing,poing for the eoul ! the ground or blebs front which we act in all thlop. manward and Godward.

Then we:consulted our fleshly mind and temper. But now we nay, "is It according to the mind of chid: in it for Hie glory. and our own welfare and advancement in Him ?" Here we have planted ourselves; and from this lofty and heavenly place survey the whole field of bunion lite and conduct. And hence that wonderful assertion of St. John, Ahat "whosoever ahldrth in Him nlnneth not :" the very fact of his abiding in Christ being a guarantee that of no wil ful transgression can he be guilty. But. most of all, it is a standing-point for the soul in its relations to God. lam in Christ: therefore lam brought near loGod: Yea. I have fellowship with Wm. As He is ". he mediator between God and man," se no maa com eth to the Father but by Him. so every man that cometh by Him does . come to the Father. What new power does this new truth give to our praying "in the name of Christ; what light does it throw on His own words? "At that day ye shall ask in my name, and I say not unto you that I will pray the Father for you; for the Father t Email loveth you, because ye have loved me and have believed that I came out from God " AIR; do we not too often nfle this sacred formula Li a were fonamba—fitting words with which to conclude our prayers and nothing more?

Chriet, so many of us as occupy that honorable, but reepoteible office. And the first that strikes us is, how necessary, as an in dispineftble requisite for administering our cotice, that resew/alto and experimentally we should be able to say in that sense which we have already drawn out, "to me to live la (,brief." It would be taking too much upon me to rpeak in any authorities way to those who are my brethren and a qualethut as we are directed to"exhort one another," purely there can be no more opportune (fermis,' for that than the present; and fur bins who occupies the position of preacher tor the occasion, it cannot eurnptious or unbecoming. I say, then beloved fellow. helpers in the ministry of the Lord Jena., it is essential for us, if we would do anything for Christ, if we would save our own eoult or the souls of others, 'chat we should be able with some good degree of confi dence to find an echo in our own hearts to this outburst of the Apostle, that lee ehonlct Christ, as the ground. the and confidence s sonal salvation, film which tiding hope and and access unto God—how essential for those who would declare to others that only name! Only then can se e say. "Case with us and we will show you good." Only then can we go forth in the full nee/ of the bleeping of the Gospel of Peace—arnbanadors indeed for ChtlA. Only then can our hearts minister the only ministry which is of any worth or power here. 80, too need Christ lire in us, as the source of the spirt. teal life, and therefore of all evisdoin and strength; eso that it will not be ourselves alone but China t,i ste, as well as by ite, that epeaks and ministers. And finally, what comfort or consistency can there be in our ministry unless Christ be the where in which we act, unless He is emphatically first, midst and last to up, the glorious spiritual world in which we delight to move in thought and word and deed, from centre to circumference, and back again trom circumference to centre? Bat again. How ate ictly, if we have given any true sense olthe text must CIIBINT be the grand subject of all our official presentations. And so thought St. Paul dis tinctly; for be determined to know noticing among men save Jesus Chriseand Him crucified; and it was his boast that to hies had this grace been given to preach among the Gentiles the uneearchable riches of Christ. Um ecarehable, indeed they are,not only in themselves, but as a theme of preaching! A theme inexhaustible and endu. ring—of the fullest scope, of the highest height, and the deepest depth. Still and even, tinder the existing state of thing% have wetter) elapse' of louts to deal with; those who Aare and those who have net accepted Christ; calling for dif- ferent modes of presenting the one theme, and corres ponding generally wills the differences of method which prevails respectively in the Acts and in the Epistles. Like the Apostles, when they went forth to Jews and heathen,we preach to a sinful world Jesus. We hold him up in the leading features of Ills office—as, Ito by whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of our ,einti ;—as •He by whom we are raised into newness of life, anti in whom we have hope of a re surrection from the dead, and eternal life ;—the one Me. dieter between God and man, by and through whom we, as sinners, return to God, and God returns to us in love and mercy. The power of this,preaching lies in pre renting as the *Weed of faith, not the doctrines concern ing Christ. hut Christ Himself—as a person—one able to save to the uttermost And undoubtedly this power in creases with the-increase of our own inward apprehen. Mon of Christ as a living and personal Redeemer, So that we preach Him not as one of whom we have heard, but as one whore we scans-. Thus the Apostles undoubtedly epoke of HIM " her' looked," says one, "to the Man, in the first place; 'rad adt ondly to the portrait given of Him in the book. Whereas (ho continues) the psendomiostolic preaching fixes its own eye and that of the hearer in the hest place on the hook, and deduces from it the exintence_and influence of the person. The impression in the one case is ..that the preacher AZICIOULICed that his from Cbriet, who is a re. ality to him; and that his experience of Christ, he asserts. it according to Scripture. The' impression in the other case is that Isaiah, Paul, and ' John teach, accordin to the preacher such and such doe. g_ trines, The one is preaching Cbrist; the other about Christ. Paul preached Christ; our tendency is to preach that Paulpreached Christ" In this connection, these weighty words of one of the latestßainoton lecturers are well worth quoting : Men have sometimes expressed their wonder at the difference in the effect of the Lord's own preaching, and of that of His disciples"—co small, apparently. in the one case; so large, confessedly. in the other—"and they have been fain to 'ascribe it to the out. Pouring of the Spirit which wrought a sudden change >in . the hearts of the hearers. But we bare no encouragement to _,suppose that the three thousand, who- believed on the day of Pentecost received any special gift of the ROM (such as originated on that day) until after they believed. This was promised by the Apostle as a gift, pot preceding, but ensuing on their baptism . No! it is not on the hearers, but on the preachers that the mighty influence is said to hags come ; The true reason for the change in the effect of the doctrine 14 forted in the change which bad paned in the. doet'iae itself, "when the Spirit of truth Was collie" to fulfil the prediction._ .I.lle shall glorify Me." Christ was not preached before he suffered; after he was: glorified, Ile was. ' In the former period Ile and His follow, ere preached the kingdom of , God in, the latter "they ceased not to teach - and preach Jesus Christ." Thus the great change in the effect 9f the .meaching. which might seem at first sight to derogate from His glory, is on further consideration. seen to enhance it... Only when it is possi.

I think, has gone by when it could with truth be said of any number of professedly Christian min intera "Though Paul may serve them with a text, yet .ffpictetue, Plato, Tully preach;' . but still, my brethren, it can never be unprofitable to ad monish ourselves that this is to tes the s yle of our preach ine, if. we wonld be Christian preachers, and the veritable successors of these first teachers of the faith. And what a blessed ministry must ours prove if we thin, in overteli pointnient and exercise of it, hold forth Gni Word of Life; that Word of Life whom' the Apostles heard, saw with their eyes, looked upon. and their bands handled. And as in the formal presentations of the pulpit, so, in the more familiar ones of the chamber of sieknees and the house of mourning — how tendons and effective nand' be such a ministry. Not vague ;verde of exhortation or Warn ing in the one, or of consolation In the other: but Christ,— the near Christ, the allauflielent Christ, the precious and loving Chriat—man's only hope and support in his ex tremity Ob, Cloned name! that ibririen such light arid joy to darkened souls bow wonderful is our privilege in having been chosen by God to proclaim is in a dying world ! Oh, name above every name that ,is named, whether In heaven or in earth! nre speak because we canna help it; and because it is good to "speak often one to another" of Him who holds the highest place in our hearts, end before whom we bow the knee. , And here let sne say, beloved brethren. that if we orate drive frem our church—with all else that is erroneous— that new device of the adversary called Ritualism. it is only by a more concentrated gathering up of our ministry in Christ, leaving nothing to float off to pander to aught that islentimentalorsensuoue.butmakingallcompactly, closely telling for Christ in our presentation of Him to th o hearts and minds of men, before whom all such pecu liarities (if they are pot worse) as now awaken our Ind!, nation. while in their spread they alarm us will flee away. What would 8t Paul have thought of altar lights, of altar clothe of various hues and elaborately ornamented vestments? Would he not have Paid. respecting those who used thew, as some of those in his day, " lam afraid of you, led I have bestowed upon you labor in vain?" Oh, my bretbren,let us, then, preach Christ in If is Amplicity! Christ in es the hope of glory! (laid to be apprehended only by a living faith! Christ to he worshipped only in spirit and In truth! 111. On our last point we can touch but very briefly. If the believer is to ray, with tit. Paul: "To me to live is Christ," then in hie relations to others he is to carry out the princit. lee involved in thin great Word. His Christ IP e must move with him wherever he goes, so that all men shell take knowledge of him that he has been wPh Jesus i In his temper and sprit, in his words, in his actions, he is to Duress himself upon them as a Christian. Thus constantly confessing his Maeter, and letting his light shine to the gory of God the Fattier. And be sides, he is to recognize every one in whom ho sees the same life, a Christian brother, and in all his intercourse to deal with him as such • iii every one. I say, by what ever name be may be celled. All are, all must be, in the Christwo• Id, who hold to Him as their life! They touch and cohere in Him! What a blessed thing if we but r. Mize tuts! using always to the higher unity of the spirit. even the lower uniformity of the body be broken through the weakness or the xvilfulness of men.

No: the thriet•life cannot be a telnsh one in the enjoyment of its blessings. Christ himself etands tut too prominently in Hie character as a missionary, as vent to seek and to save the lost. for any in when Ile really dwells to be indiffer ent to the salvation of others. What a missionary it made St. Paul : And what missionaries will it make us all: impelling us, in our several epheres, to work for Christ in the promotion of that great work which wee given Ilim to do. This is the secret of all missionary activity in the Church. which constrains men to go forth and preach the a veriatting gospel s and those who remain at home amply to supply the ( 'porch with means fo- their support his to the secret of all faithful Sunda v.school tesching,of all tuotained work among the poor and ignorant, of all genuine and Holt" intereetin our churches, and of the great cause which they have in hand.

At the conclusion of the sermon, Rev. Edward W. Buchanan read the offertory and introductory Communion Services. Bishop Stevens then con ^secreted the elements, and Rev. James Saul and Rev. Mr. Williamson assisted in administering the Communion. Rev. James Hall led in the Post-Communion services, and the Benediction was delivered by the Bishop. After the religious services were the Convention was regularly organized for business. Bishop Stevens , address to the Cenvention was eloquent and able. wee replete with many valuable suggestions, and was listened to with great interest. Hits opening remarks were a grateful recognition of the goodness of God in again permitting him to meet his brethren in the Convention, after an absence of nearly two y ears. A brief statement was given of the causes which led to his departure from the country, accompa nied by a short synopsis of his travels and Episcopal work abroad, with an earnest statement of his grati tude at being enabled to again resume his home duties. From the 2d of June. 1867, his official labors were as fol lows : Confitmatione,lls; number confirmed. 1,039; con secrations, I, Sunday school chapel; admitted to the Dia conate, 6; admitted to the priesthood. 7; corner stones of churches laid. 8 During the year, M clergymen Were transferred to other dioceses, and 20 were received. , On the Zld of February be met with that fearful rail. road accident, which has very neativ disabled him from duty up to the present time. four confirmations alone hav ing been since administered by him. A brief allusion was made to the proposed division of the-Diocese. As the question would be brought up in the report of the Convention, he waived the expression of any opinion at present. • Reference was made to the importance of parishes erect ing parsonages for the comfort and permanent residence of ttheir respective remelt!. Tllo. numerous changes among the clergy since the last Otaimention were alluded to, with deep regret that most of them were produced by the lack of sufficient support for their families. The two services which he had held at the Bishop Potter Memorial House had commended it to him as a very important agent for the reread of the Govnl; and he referred the Convention to the accounts of the services held there by him inJune and Februitty last. (A'report in full of the Bishop Potter Memorial House will be found in another column of to-day's paper.) • The Pennsylvania Branch of the Freedmen's Aid Corn. misefon of the P. E. Church, WU commended for the gold results itslabore wets producing iu various parts of the South and its cordial support was recommended to the Chinches of the Diocese. • In the home fields the laudable missionary efforts put forth bad produced good fruits; hut there were still 'ouch greater wot ke to be done which would require more ex tended labors on the part of the Churoh. Bishop W. A. ,Odenbeimer, of the Diocese of New Jer. eey. reported that during , the illness of Bishop Stevens, between Mareti 20th and April 27th, he had held 10 con firmations, and the number confirmed was 518.: • REPOET.OI , TIIE DIVISION 01 , THE DIO The Committee on the Division of the Diocese will make the following report tide evening 7he C , nilitee appointed two years ago and 'cot tinned end enlarged at the. feet Diocesan Convention, to con. eider and report upon a proposal to divide this Diocese, re. epoctiulle report that in confornaityWith a recommenda tion of the last Convention they conferred with the Right Reverend. the !Bebop of the Diocese,in pereon, on the 17th of December. 1867.

Williamson, of AA ilkesbarre, was appointed secretary On mutual conference your committee (assured that division on the line already s .bmitted to the Clergy and Vestries could not be consummated,) unanimously de clared the memo by resolution • However your Committee had no reason to cenclude that the lire proposed last year would command a g g a rde nwmtb r uff s el ff n ag favohano g ny iothere pra wo e u lw itb the portion of the bloceee which thereby was designated for a now jurisdiction, since little more than one-third of the Parishes had communicated their anent to It, and lees than one-hall of the Clergy. Other linos were then examined and discussed, which it was believed would not be obnoxious to the same objet. Bon which was regarded ea fatal to the one already referred to. The Bye of further division projected and reported bythe Committee of Ten previously to the setting forth to the Diocese of Piita burg, was reconsidered. That had the great advantage of being conformed . to the geographical features of the country. and associating in ecclesiastical union populations whose bustnesti Intereets make them . one. . But it reserved to the old Diocese so much of the sub stantial and numerical strength of the Church. that the new, though much greater in extent, would probably be without the ability tor immediate gelfeupport To divide now on thin natural line (which the late Bishop Potter la known to have approved as the next limit of the old Diocese of Penn. '5 'yenta, when a second offshoot shall have become sarong enough for indrpendsrit existence) being thus thought impracticable, s our Committee examinee the map of the Dioceee.seeking for others which raig..t be accepted by all concerned, whereby a new Diocese, strong enough to be selfsustaining. might be separated without leaving the press nt Diocese in anybody's regard too circumscribed In territory. Some consideration wog given to a line which should add to the five counties suggested last year as the re. siduom of the old Diocese wheiy a new one shall have been set apart, the two counties of .Lehlgh , and _ _ Northampton. , addition, however, would ' etil, leave the old Diocese greatly reduced in territory. which wag esteemed a most objectionable feature of last year's project by one who is a party concerned in any scheme for reducing the Diocese of Pennsylvania. And imtil our church has made 'Ditch further advances than she has yet reached in the sub-division of large Dioceses, there will be found a very natural reluctance on the part of those in authority to surrender four-fifths of the dis tricts under their control and to hem themselves within narrow borders. Until 1E56 the Conititution of the Church. in its proof. efon for the dividing of the dioceses, prescribed the num. her of vinare miles below which no diocese should he re. duced, and Implied that the parent diocese tnuet in each case be as large in extent as the new one fashioned out of it. The language of that article of the Constitution has been changed, but the idea, and feeling which it expressed ate not yet altogether obsolete. More over, in looking forward to such a growth of the Church in the diocese thus bounded as would ne cessitate after a few years, further &olden, no line presented itself to tt e view of your Committee as likely to be a convenient one for that eventful division. And the idea of revering by and by a fragment from one dio cese in order to attach it to another, suggests an excess of change which in the judgment of your Committee is not to be admitted into the plan and policy of the Church. These considerations led your Committee to regard witg mere favor an extension of the line of division to the northern limit of ths State—thus associating all the counties, nine in number on the eastern border of the State, and making the line of separation between the old abd new Dioceses. like the one that now' ivides ue from the Diocese of Pittsburgh. a north and south tine. Besides the rapid development of tho resources of the northeastern section of this State,and the steady increase of its population, the existence to the midst of it of a city which Las suddenly become the third in magnitude in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. and the meteor a Bishop of the Church r.f Rome, impressed your committee with shelter that after a very few years the diocese of fourteen counties might be again and advantageously divided, havina centre for the new Bee more important and powerful than arc those a f many of the older dio ceree. Moreover, respect was had in this demarcation to the reluctance of most of the stronger parishes in the northeastern section of the diocese, as witnessed by documentary evidence furnished last year and now in the hands of your Committee, to be severed at Mir time from the Diocese cont'lning the city of Philadelphia. The groat interior or middle Diocese, if 'his line even were. accepted. would be very much larger in extent than the one from which it had been set ottand it would comprise within its limits nerdy every large city and censiderable toy n (ebilrclelphia excepted) now in the nordere of the Diocese et Pennsylvania.. It Is the judgment of your committee that the jurisdiction 7ow under the oversight of the Bishop whom God has paced over us. it gr:atly bevond the measure of human tin path to administer. Relief is imperatively required. To the Convention we proceed to communicate the facts which have come to our knowledge, and which we were deputed to obtain and report, and leave it to the wis dom of the Convention to draw from them ouch practical issues as the case may seem to justify. herairding the last line indicated by which 14 counties ould be left to the old Diocese, as on the whole tho best 71041 could now receive a sanction, without which no division could be effected, your Committee sent forth, in January last,a circular to the clergy and to the vestries in all the parishes of the present Diocese out of that line—in w Lich they were caked to express, in due form, before the Ist of May—their approbation or disapprobation of divi sion on that line. By the journal of the Convention of 1667, it appears that there were then 48 par. Mlles outside of the fourteen counties.. in union with file Convention. Of these. 26 have by their vestries made anon er to your Comm.; of these. 3 have signified their approbation and 23 their disapprobation; of these, 7 have qualified their answer with an intimation that they would ascent if some other line was proposed. In the same region the Journal of 1867 reports 46 clergy. men resident and qualified to vote in the Convention. Of these 27 have responded to the inquiry of your Corn. millee-9 !affirmatively, 18 negatively; 14 of them with a qualification in favor of division on some other line. it certainly is an occasion for regret that so many of the clergy and Parishes have omitted altogether'to exprestt themselves on the subject of division; the prima jrar7ift inference would be that they feel not much interest in it The inquiry submitted to them by sour committee-early in the winter.has served at leastithie perceive: it has given timely notice to those most Concerned that the subject of division would be agitated at this Convention; and it Is to be presented that the Parishes have borne tins 'in mind in selecting representatives to act for them in this body. Nothing can be done here in which the ,the deputies of the people do not concur. Your committee were induced to propose but a single question on the subject of division by the following con siderations; Before the Convention of 1867 they issued a series of questions—one on the desirableness of division, and another, in which all were asked to suggest. if they ev cleased,,any line of division more acceptable titan that proposed by the committee. The answers which were re ceived with scarcely an exception, if. fir - motive or negative. upon the line pro posed; not one suggested any alien Instructed this year to confer with the Bishop. and learning that to. division there was yw insurmountable obetacle,your Corn. 'Atte° felt themselves constrained to submit another to the consideration of those interested; and they did not reiterate the broad question en the desirableness of env: division, nor the query whether indi vidual men could ptopose a better, because it seemed superfluous to rent w questions which had before elicited an answer. because it was thought that the whole subject could be with less confusion approached on the floor of the Convention, if the answers obtained were spe cific upon a project of diVision, which. app'oved of by the Convention, would they knew meet with no subsequent opposition:and which seemed the most eligible of those which were within the option of this House. 1 our Committee have had no wish to forestall opinion; they have endeavored faithfully to do the work entrusted to them ; that is, to obtain facts and lay the matter before the Convention in such a way as to secure for it the fireest sand fullest consideration, and the wisest and most harmonious settlement. . . .
