Rnv. Du- BlcKirmEr----.-Dear.Brether:
When the olquds of mercy gather, and the
refreshing showers of bivine Influence,de
scend upon any of the heights of the thirsty
hill of Zion, it should certainly be recorded,
as a manifestation of devout thXnkfulness
on the part of the recipients, and as an
ditional reason to encourage and stimulatp
others to more fervent and importunate
prayer, and to more arduous and continued
efforts for the enlargement and prosperity of
the kingdom of Jean's. In confcirtility with
a time-hallowed usage,' in harmony' iiitlithe
example °tethers of Zion's *atchinen, of
more mature wisdom and experience ' and tis
your request preferred to others leads , meto
infer, in compliance with lour , own %desire,
to be advised of,< and topublish abroad , the
glorious:doings of the , Lord in every-part of
his spiritual heritage,. an inducement is
afforded me to send you the." glad tidings,"
that “,The Lord has done great things or
us also, whereof we, are glad.
Acting in accordance with the recom
mendation of ourSynodi at itshuit meeting„
I preached esermen , at-the time designated,
by .the Synod, on ."The necessitrandim
portance of revival of, religion, and - -the ,
Scriptural means of , promoting it.". The,
Session , were then called ,together, . and
agreed to, invite. all ,those who were sincerely,
desirous of ereyival and prosperous state of
religion in the, congregation, to, meet with
them, and unite with them in.conference
.and, prayer, for-the outpouring ,of God's,
Spirit and the 'revival of his work in the
midst of us.
,
At - ,our ' ; first meeting) an engagement was,
enteredpreserkthat they would ,
also offer Unitedly earnest
, prayer in secret,
that the Lord would visit us with his salva
tion';' and that they would select'itaitieular
individuals, and make' their conversion
subject of special prayer to God. This State
of thing . ; continued for about two' months,
iintil , our seat communion - - season, which
occurred on the fourth' Sabbath of DecemL
ler. I wakassisted by the Rev. , Dr. Smith,
of Canonsburg, whose preaching was• in
demonstration of the Spirits and with power.
It was a time of deep tam' solemn interest,
though there was then ..no, visible sign of
special:awakening. The Session, however,
determined to continue, the services' for a•
few days immediately succeeding the pain
mumon, believing that there Was a secret;
influence at Work, which would Soon mani
fest itself. Accordingly, the services were
continued, and it was soon evident that the
Spirit . of God was present in themidat of
us. First .one, and- then-another, and still
others, were awakened. The number -con
tinued steadily to increase. Almost every ,
day there were new instances of inquirers,
seeking the way of salvation. Soon
,t,hose
first awakened began to indulge a hope of
an interest in Christ. Our meetings were
continued for , about four weeks. For. about
ten days after our communion; I was alone..
After that time, vluable and efficient aid
was Tendered by _Rev. Dr: Alrich,, Rev. Mr:
Brownson, and Rev. Dr: Wines: :To all of
whoin my warmest giatitude is due
All was silence , and solemnity. The
means used were simply the-plain, practical
preaching of the doctrines of the Gospel,
and the duties it inculcates, accompanied
with. earnest prayer for the effusion of, Abe
Spirit, and:private convetsation.with inquir
ing, Tenons. These means., have .been
greatly blessed of God. , His. people have
been refreshed and strengthened, and dying
sinners. have been. made to rejoice in God's
salvation. The' sacrament of ithp • Lord's
'Supper 'MIS administered in our church on'
the fourth Sabbath of March. ,Thirty-three,
persons were, on examination, received into
the Communion of the church, twenty-foor
of whom received the ordinance of baptism; '
and all united ,with the people of God, in
showing forth, the Saviour's death until he
wale. Of these,-eight were heads of fami
lies; sixteen were young women, nine were
young, men, among whom will be found, as
we humbly hoPe,,some who will go forth as
heralds of the Owes. Of these; some were not
abovie the a& of twelve years. Some'were,
by afflictive providence, prevented, who
would otherwise- lave united with the,
church at that time. . The good work still
moves onward. Some.- are trembling be-
tween hope and ,fear,..and..eome are stilt in
quiring the way. to ! Zion with .their faces
thitherward
These are the things that God has wrought
for us. And our heart's desire and prayer
is, that he would still do 'greater things than
these. That he would - appearin his glory,
and build up Zion every where: That Zion,
in all her borders, may twists grid shine; her
light having come, and the glory' of the
Lord being risen upon her: That floods
of salvation may be poured out, and roll
over this land, and round the world.
that God would fill the whole earth with all
the beauties and glories of universal holi
ness. WILLIAM P. HARVISON.

Letter from„ California.
STOCKTON -ClitTr.y-Feb. 18,1857.
, 11EV.. DEL , M'KINNEY :—Thinking that
a few lines from this, phrt of the country
might not be unacceptable, I havetaken in
hand to write •you.a letter. I last wrote to
you from Los Angeles. That regton, which
might be a paradiee, :is accursed by man's
evil- doings. - It may properly be balled
" the :dark and , bloody , ground,' of Califor
nia., I lefties Angeles, with My family,.in
August, and came - to this city about thefirst
of September.' 'The change from 'a Mexican
town; continually agitated by the evil deeds .
of robbers; and: Murderers, to a' thriving-
young., American, city, blessed withlmany
chnrches,. and with good society, , is miry
agreeable, I.assure you. 'We are truly
thankful to have been brOuglat away *ern: .
Los Angeles 'at the time we were; We
deeply-sympathize with the few respectable
American families, and, peaceable Christian
friends, we left , there. There has been an
awful. 'time lately. • The Sheriff of the
County, and , three :men , whor accompanied
werekilled in an attempt hi break-up
a gang oE robbers. The people! turned out
in ,great strength, broke up the band; and
when, we last heard, they had hung twelve
men, and had some fifty others in prison.
The year 1857- has r: opened upon Cali
; forniawith fine prospects. The Vigilance
Committee, doings • of ,last Summer, whether
justifiable , or not in the 'abstract, seem to
have ,been ,/ractically' good. At , leaat, -to
.
speak r,Presbyturianwise; they have been
overruled for good: , Things are now quiet
in every part of the State, and the ) spirit
of reform—the desire and:fletermination to
have more integrity and morality in our
public men, as; anifestly abroad:
More •snow' has fallen = in the mountains,
and .more rain in theL i valleys?than - . during
anylseason since 1852-3.4 The prospects of.
the farmers are better than they have ever
been
_before. . The miners are, rejoicing
the plentiful showers, and in the prospect of
golden harvests. The people 'et all classes
,
are good spirits; and . 'confidently expect
ing' better times'this year than have been en.'
joyed for two•years pest. Great quantities of
rain have fallen during the past week, , We
have Several extemporeneous rivers .flowing
through Stoekton. ;The Sacramento has
risen twenty feet: - Te . day the 'sun shines
?brightly. The • birds , 'sing' among the
branehef. The grass is. springing, and
blossoms expanding on_every- side. The air
is mild and delicious.--
I am sorry that you,failed to receive and
publish the proceedings 'of the Synod of
the - Pacific, at' our 'meeting
. in October.
The Minutes were ordered to be sent for
publication to the Preskyterian; and to the
Bafiiier 'and .Advbedte. It is greatly to be
; desired 'that Christians on the Atlantic 'Sidi;
,shonld be kept- informed...of ' the `'state
progress of the churches here; that their
interest in the promotion of truth and piety
'on this coast maybe deepened. We-cannot
_do without thesympathy•and prayers' of 'our
brethren on the otherrside of the Continent:
The-Synod has sent up an urgent appeal; for
- men. and. money, to the Domestießoard,.and
'to the 'General Assembly. Both areneeded •
here. We could find employment:At .once
ifor many men ; .but how they shall be sup-.
ported, is.the question. If the: General As-,
Isenibly could see; as we here see, the rising
greatness of the field—if they couldsee ,as
l
weere.see, the influence which , the Ch!ris
-tianity of California is to 'have, upon the
'moral condition of the Western, worid, and . ;
of what you call the ~Eastern world, they
would feel it a privilege and a ditty to send
hither men, and means of ,supporting, them
in part.
Se far as know, the ,lfrethren of Our
branch of the Church are laboring diligently
'and euceessfully with the eireeption of our
excellent brother Speer. To the, great re
gret of his 'friends, and `the friends of the I
Chinese, he has been laid aside from active
iabOrs for seine time past. I trust that • God
maY'restere hini to his mist interesting field
of usefulness. Dr., Scott has not suffered
any' from his independent and fearless course'
during the late trying season of public re._
formation. People 'only admiie and; love
him the more because they know: him now
to be independent and''fearless, as, before
they kneir him to be a learned and' good man.
Dr.. Anderson is .preaching. with' great
eeptance; and, is universally respected and
beloved: > His, people have made ,arrange
mentsti for putting up; a more commodious : ,
and ,house of worship, in a;-more
central part of the city.
An excellent feeling .prevails, among, the
different 4eueminatipns of Christianson this
coaat, so far as my observation ; has extended„

and his Cardinals.
The attempt made by Popish priests to
take away from a. Protestant Orphan
School the. daughter of a deceased soldier,
whose wide*, a Papist, was stirred up to de
mand the guardianship . of the child, has
been defeated. The girl, ALICIA RACE,
was so well trained in the Protestant religion,
that she could give ample reasons for rejecting
Popery.Still, flue consent of parents being
the legal p rinc i ple p to beaded on, the father,
a Protestant, being dead, the mother, a
Papist, demanding the child, the priests
were sure of success ; and a virtual decision
was made by the Vice. Chancellor in their
favor.. But the matter ended not . thus ; ; for
on proof that the mother unfit guard
ian, having married again during the life
time of her first htieband,, Protestant guar&

Two Roman Catholic mothers have lately
requested Protestant Societies to take charge
of their children, basting perceived, by the
decision of the Queen's Bench, that the
priests could n'ot legally take away children
against the desire of their parents.

" dOwn to a comparatively recent, period,
priests and bishops in:the Reman Catholic

marry."
Some time ago, Cardinal, Wisoman pub

to this effect " Though the Scriptures are .

informed that " no , m o re of the tracts are to

it is inexpedient to have it exposed. •His

Lonn HERBY, in a recent Philippic in the
Howie of Lords, referred to his religious
preferences. He= is= not for Popery which
is "religiously false and politically danger
ous " (he. advocated, eleven yeals Ago, the
endowment of the Irish priests;) he does
not . like Trantarianism, `(eight of the' pirty
were made Bishops' by his consent and coun
tenance, when last in power;) and while he
respects ;the -Evangelicals, his preferences
are for another ohms, who are moderate And
quiet, and take the s fathers and antiquity
along with the Scriptures. ' His Lordship,
in other words, likes the "High and Dry"
school, who are the . most cold-hearted of
men, except , in matters. -of " Churoh and
