If night's blue curtain of the sky With thousand stars inwrought, Hung like a royal cnnopy With glittering diamonds fraught— Be, Lord, thy temple's outer veil, What splendor at the shrine must dwell! The dazzling sun at noontide hour, Forth from his flaming vase, Flinging o'er earth the golden shower, Till vale and mountain blaze— Bat shows, 0 Lord! one beam of Tam: 'What, then, the day where thou dolt shine! Ah I how shall these dim eyes endure That noon of'living rays, Or how my spirit, so impure, Upon thy glory gaze ? Anoint, 0 Lord t anoint my sight, And robe me for that world of light. For the Presbyterian Banner and Advocate Rev, Cephas Dodd.—Commemorative. "None of us liveth unto himself, and no man dieth unto himself," is the solemn and affecting averment of a holy Apostle, speak ing by the inspiration of the Spirit of God. " For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord : whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's." This is emphatically true of every Christian, yea, of every human being in God's universal kingdom. He is not his own maker. He is not his own owner. He is not his own master. He has no right to live fur the promotien of his own ease, honor, or advantage. It is his imperative duty, and he is bound to make it his life-long business, to "glorify God in his body, and in hie spirit, which are God's." If this is true of every individual, and of the humblest Christian, is it not manifestly and pre-emi nently true of the Minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ? He is, in a peculiar and sig nificant sense, 41 a servant of Jesus Christ," and a "steward of the mysteries of God." He has, in an especial manner, oonsecreted himself, his soul and his body, his time and his talents, his influence and his all, to the service of his God; and is all that he does, " he seeks not his own, but the things which are Jesus Christ's." While he lives, he is willing to " spend and be spent" in his blessed Mesta's service; and when he dies, he dies trusting for salvation in the merits of his Redeemer; and saying, "Victory, viotory, through Jesus Christ!" It was truly thus with the venerable •and beloved friend, and pious and devoted min ister of Jesus Christ, to whose memory we now present this small tribute. He lived for his fellow-men, for .the Church, the kingdom of the Redeemer, and for the glory of God. Nor did he ever cease to labor, until his Master bade him lay down the cross, that ho might ascend to wear the crown ; until he was called to exchange , the arduous labors and incessant warfare of the Church militant on earth, for the ineffable enjoyments and eternal rewards of, the Church triumphant in heaven. "For him to live was Christ, and to die was gain." The Rev. Cephas Dodd was born on Ten- Mile, Washington County, Pa., on Tuesday, October 12th, 1779. He received his lit erary education at the then Canonsburg Acad emy, the germ of the present noble institu tion of Jefferson College, which has been so signally blessed of God in days that are past, in training up ministers of the Gospel of Christ to labor in our own country, and in foreign lands. So far as is known, the venerated father who is the subject of this notice, was first truly awakened and brought under deep serious impressions, while pur suing his literary course at Canonsburg. As no record of the matter has been left; and as other sources cannot furnish information on that point, it is impossible to state just at what time he was first brought to enter tain a hope of an interest in Jesus, nor when he united with the Church by a public pro fession of religion. But the genuineness of his discipleship was evinced by a life-long course of deep, steady, fervent, and glowing piety: and by his whole-souled consecration of all his time and energies, for more than half a century, to the work of the Lord. Mr. Dodd studied Theology with the Rev. John McMillan, D. D. He was licensed to preach the Gospel by the Presbytery of Ohio, at Canonsburg , Pa., on the 29th day of October, 1801. And on the first Sabbath of November, he preached his first sermon at the church of Lower Ten-Mile, on 1. Tim. iv : 8. From the time of his licen sure until his settlement as a pastor, he labored as a Domestic Missionary in a very extensive field, embracing 'Upper and Lower Ten. Mile, Jefferson, New Providence, Mer itstown, and other points. On the 14th of December, 1803, he was ordained by the Presbytery of Ohio to the full work of the Gospel Ministry, and having received a call from the united congregations of Upper and Lower Ten-Mile, he was installed over them as their pastor. "This relation appears to have continued until the 16th of April, 1817, when it was dissolved by the Presby tery." From that time until the close of his life, he continued to labor, with very little interruption ; as the stated supply of Lower Ten• Mile. During the few last years of his life, the work being too onerous for himself alone, he shared the labors with an assistant minister. His labors among the people of his charge were greatly blessed of God, not only in promoting the regular in crease of the church, but several precious seasons of the special out-pouring of the Holy Spirit, were enjoyed under his long and faithful minist r y, Shortly after hie settlement as a pastor, from the want of proper medical attendance for his family—there being no physician nearer than Washington---he was , induced to engage in the study of Medi c i n e. It is known from his own personal statement, and from other sources, that at that time he had no intention of practicing as a regular physi cian, but merely to fit himself to practice. in his own family. Bat at the earnest solicits,- tions of his immediate neighbors, he don-. sented to attend upon their families. Thus, his services becoming known, be was sent for by others; and his kind heart unable to resist the calls of suffering humanity, he was constrained to yield. In this way his practice increased, until it became very ex tensive and laborious; and besides his first and highest vocation, the great and arduous work of the Gospel Ministry, he had a med ical practice equal to that of the most exten sive practitioners. He may also have found it necessary to pursue the practice of medicine to supply the deficiency in his salary, as his people, especially at the first, were not able to give him an adequate support. Bat he did' not engage in it from a hope of gain; for it is a well-known fact, that for much of his la bore as a physician, he never received any pecuniary reward. By the people among whom he lived, he was esteemed an excel lent and skillful physician ; and so great was their confidence in him, that while, he was able to pay a visit, they would not send for any other. Our beloved father, though a person of modest and retiring character, and averse to display, was yet a man of very superior in tellectual attainments. Ho was an excellent classical scholar, a profound theologian, an earnest, tender, and instructive preacher of the Gospel. It is said he rarely took an ac tive part in Church judicatories. This was owing, perhaps principally to deafness, with which he was ;filleted for many years, and which continued to grow upon him with advancing age, rendering it impossible •for him to hear, and so unfitting him to partici pate in any business. But he was well ac quainted with the Constitution and Form of Government of the Presbyterian Church, and was a wise and judicious counselor; always ready with a sound.opinion upon any point, of Presbyterian Church order. He was a person of great amiability and gentle ness of manners. He was a loyal and de voted friend, a kind and indulgent father, and a Christian gentleman, and he adorned all the relations of life. At the time of his decease, he was the oldest member of the Presbytery of Washington; and, he was most loved by those who knew him best. He died as he lived, the same meek fol lower of the Lamb of God. The same earnest, self denying servant of his Master, Christ. Owing to his extreme difficulty of hearing, it was only at times that he could converse upon the state of his religious feel ings, and his future hopes. He had,no rap tures. He would often say, "I have no very lively feelings; things seem rather dark; but I have a hope in Christ which sustains me." Once when the writer was sitting by his bed-side, conversing with him, he drew from beneath his pillow his small Bible, and holding it up and pointing to passages which he had marked, he said, " These precious promises are all my sup port and my comfort now." "My only hope of salvation is in the atoning bleed ef Christ." For nine weary months he lay upon a bed of languishing and pain. But at last the springs of life were broken, and at his residence near Amity, Pa., in the midst of his friends, on the 16th of Jan uary, and in the 79th year of his age, with out a struggle he calmly fell asleep in Jesus, as the tired child falls asleep in its gentle mother's arms. And he has been eathered home to hitiglorious rest and reward, as 'a shock of corn fully ripe is gathered in its season. Let those, then, who are still left to labor in the world's great harvest, double their diligence in advancing the interests, of the Redeemer's kingdom, ever looking for and basting unto the coming of their Sa viour God. And as one and another of the standard.bearers in the camp of Prince Im manuel falls, and as God is heard speaking to the pious young men of our Church and of our land, by the voice of his providence and of his Word; and saying I " Whom shall , I send, and who will go for us ?" may the ready response of every willing heart be, " Here am 1, Lord, send me." W.P.H. Lower Ten-Mile, March 6th, 1858. [Presbyterian please copy.] For the Presbyterian Banner and Advocate. - Revival at Curial'lle, Clarion County, Pa. Dunn. Burman MOKINNBY :—The ac counts that reach us, through the columns of the Banner and Advocate, of revivals in many of the churches of our beloved Zion, are deeply interesting andcheering, brief account, therefore, of What the. Lord has done for us, in this portion of his 'heri tage, will not ; we believe, be without inter est to many of your readers. In Leatherwood church the Lord's Supper was dispensed on the first Sabbath of Feb ruary, previous to which, meetings for prayer and preaching the Gospel were held for nearly two weeks. Toward the close of the meetings a general interest was awakened, and the " one thing needful" seemed to en gross the attention of all. The Holy Spirit was evidently at work in the hearts of both saints and sinners. Professing Christians were stirred up to lay hold upon the strength of God, and sinners were made to feel their lost condition, in many cases, most deeply and affectingly. The consequence was, that forty-five were added to the church, thirty nine on examination and six on certificate. Of those received, twenty-three were,males, fourteen heads of families, and six received the ordinance of baptism before sitting down to the table of the Lord. A more solemn and impressive occasion it has never been our privilege to witness. Truly God was this place, and hearts were melted down at his presence. Brother Montgomery rendered timely and valuable aid during the last week of our meeting, for which we desire to return our hearty thanks. Next day, after the close of the meeting in Leatherwood, preaching commenced in Licking—the other part of the charge. Every family in connexion with this church had been visited, previously to the com mencement of our meetings, by the elders who were every where kindly received, and we doubt not but their visits were hleesid by God, to the good of his people. A deep interest was manifested from the beginning to the close, of the meeting, which lasted two weeks. The house of God was literally filled, morning and evening, with people eager to hear the glad tidings of salvation which were proclaimed faithfully, forcibly and affectionately by the brethren who as sisted on ,the occasion. It soon became apparent that there was a shaking among the dry bones. ' The 'Spirit's perier Ives manifest ly felt in the prophesying of the Word, by "ONE THING IS NEEDFUL :" "ONE THING HAVE I DESIRED OF THE LORD: - " THIS ONE THING .1 DO." p11oil(H.liONC4141(04rwmil04:100,10M1411410:1UWDM41:10S1010014IN1IIIIAlii0:I11gt1:1111 FOR THE WEEK ENDING SATURDAY, MARCH 20, ISSS. which the sleep of spiritual death was broken and the breath of spiritual life imparted to many a precious soul. To this church sixty nine have been added—sixty by a public profession of their faith in Christ and nine by certificate. Of those received on exam ination eleven were baptized, thirty-two were males, and twenty-two heads of fami lies. Truly the Lord bath done great things for us, in this pastoral charge, whereof we are glad. Ninety-nine precious souls have come out from the world, and enlisted under the banner of Christ l Many of these precious souls are, no doubt, the , fruits resulting from the faithful, pious and persevering labors of the late Rev. John Core, who was for more than thirty years pastor in Licking church. " Cast thy bread upon the waters, for thou shalt find it after' many days." The brethren who assisted on this, occasion were the Rev. Messrs. MeCay and Cum mins, whose faithful ministrations amongst us were highly appreciated, and to whore our best thanks are due.' •' ' • Yours, fraternally, For the. Preibyterian Banner and Ai' , Veneto. Revival at. Ohandlereville, Ohio. REV. DAVID MCKINNEY, D.D. is good to he where God is manifesting ,his power to save. When he draws oear, his people rejoice, and dead souls are raised to life. The Lord has passed this way and re freshed us by his grace. God has heard'and answered the prayers of his people. Ever since the Synodical Convention, in Pitts burgh, I have observed an increased:religious interest among our people. This was es pecially manifest in the increased attendance at the weekly prayer-meeting. The Methodist brethren held a protracted meeting the last of January, during which there was a great deal of interest manifested, and quite •a number were received into their church. lam not`informed as to the precise number. Our 'own people (Presbyterians,) then determined to hold a series.of religious meetings, commencing on the 23d, of Feb ruary. The time was delayed to afford the pastor an opportunity to visit, the people, and to avail ourselves of the moonlight Some feared that by this delay the• interest would abate; others had strong faith that God would carry on -the work which he had commenced. He did carry it on ; for the interest increased rather than• diminished. Our meetings commenced on Tuesday morn— ing and< closed on the following Monday• night.. These meetings were all character ized by deep solemnity; and often was heard the anxious inquiry, "What must I'do to be saved." Many found peace in believing. Forty were added to the church; six on cer tificate and thirty-four on examination; fif teen of these received the ordinance of bap tisin. Some of these were heads of families. The communion was administered =on the Sabbath; and truly it was good to be there to_see,those persons of all ages, from the. old man of sixty-five down to the young vir gin of fifteen Summers, coming forward to the table of the Lord for the first time. When our meetings oloaed on Monday even ing, the people appeared unwilling to 'leave the house; but stayed nearly an hour talk ing about what the Lord had done for" their souls. "Truly ' God is good to Israel." " The Lord has done great, things for us, whereof we are glad." There are still some inquiring. I am under lasting obligations to Rev. W. M. Robinson for his assistance during the week, and •to- Rev. S. Wilson for his assistance on the Sabbath. Yours, in the Gospel, JOHN KELLY Chandlers&le, 0., March Oth, 1858. for tbe Presbyterian Banner and Adrodite Revival at Bethesda and Perry Churches, Clarion Presbyteiy. BETEIESDA CEEIJRCIL As this Presbytery is pitting forth special efforts,. this season, for the building up of Zion in our midst, I was appointed, to preach a week or more, if necessary, in Bethesda church. Brother D. Mokhty com menced the exercises on Monday afternoon, and stayed till Wednesday afternoon, when I began to preach. The congregation in tended to have the Lord's Supper adminis tered to them on the Sabbath; but when Saturday came, by a vote of the congrega tion, this was postponed till the following Sabbath. By,this movement of the congre gation I was led to believe that God was about to visit us; nor was I mistaken. The pee ple were willing, yea, exceedingly desirous, to - wait upon. God, in his.sanctuary, another week, that they might still entreat him for a blessing. Session asked me if I would stay?. I said, within myself, should 'I leave, seeing here are people who wish to have the'Word of everlasting life preached among them another week, and conscience whispered,,no. The Spirit of G o d commenced to be poured, out upon this church just then,'and con tinued in still greater effusion throughout the next week, when by its work twenty-six members were added to that church. Zion herself was much revived there. r feel very thankful to brother McCay for the Useful 'services rendered occasionally during the meeting, and for the excellent council he gave us, which encouraged us much. He is experienced, and his words were pleasant• • to one who had never been so immediately under weighty showers of heavenly blessings before. For a young preacher a revival of religion is the most excellent school to gain the most useful information which his office demands. This church has been without a pastor for a period of almost nine months. It is a, pleasant and, in many respects, a desirable field. The church has a most efficient bench of pious and devoted elders—l know none• more so. The people are full of kindness, and very intelligent. Amongst such people a pastor would find an agreeable home. I was sorry to leave them, we had spent such a good and precious time together. I hope; the Lord of the harvest will send in a faith ful, reaper amongst that people, to speak words of encouragement to the young Chris• tient; and to break to them the bread of life. PERRY CHURCH About half an hour after I came home from Bethesda church, the time came, as appointed, for my own church meetings. Perry, from a cause, has been, for some years past, rather passiv,e; but now she, seems active. She has been much ralved. Our meetings' continued - tvio weeks, excepting one day.

LONDON, ' Fe luau 19A, 1868. THE DINNER TO TVINGSTORE, to which 1 alluded in m st, was piite 'denionstration. 'Murdhison,' President of the RoAlSociety, .attone Of the greatest geologistso the age, was in the Chair, and was surrorded by a brilliant assembly of men man tit in all departments of science and litetatiire. But a week's no tice had been given' of , the intention to offer this public tribute .ofirespeet. and admira tion to the African traveler, and it was thought the assembly i would,be small. In stead of this, Freennisoys Hall was crowded to excess, and numbei's . applied for tickets, which (with .45 offered for , one,) could not be ,obtained. Just before the dinner, Dr. Livingstone, had an interview with, the Queen, who ex ''pressed her ardent desire that God's bless: ing might attend bith'ia hie new expedition. The Minister of Sweden and Norway was ,present, and a- letter of great interest was read from the Minister of Portugal, (who was suffering from illness,) stating that his Royal Master felt the deepestt interest in the success of Livingstone, and had given orders to all Portuguese authorities - in Eastern Africa to forward his:Views; With the expedition 'goes out another African traveler,„o4tain. Beddingfield, of whom Livingstone said that "he` knew something not .only of ,African rivers, but also of African fevers!' Dr., Kirk, of Edinburgh, an eminent naturalist, .goes with the expedition, which also includes geologists, botanists, and geographerS. Among the grounds for, admiration and gratitude, toward Livingstone, Sir Bed enck dwelt on the fact that he had accu rately ascertained the latitude and loigitude of every place which he had visited. Liv ingstime s speech was characterized by his wonted simplicity and ,singleness of heart and purpose. To arrest and stop, if possi ble, the slave trade, and to introduce to Africa . "the inestimable blessipgs of Chris tianity,i' he avowed to be his maid Objects. Since the'dinner, a son'of the' missionary Moffat, himself a ministeri-has been - mar ried to a young Christian lady at Brighton. He•and his wife go out as missionaries, and as such, received, after their marriage, i s public and solemn address from Livingstcine. It was stated by the Chairman, that of Dr. Livingstone's Travels, not less than thirty thousand copies had" been sold in this country 1. The Duke of Argyle, on behalf of, the Government, expresied. their deep interest in the • expedition, and publicly denied the truth of a statement which he said had been made at Washington, that England had changed her opinions on the subject Af the sieve tirade. He stated truly, (what ,could not be Said on othe:r matters,) that'Lord Palmerston *had atiodys been decided in his determination to put if down, if pos sible. The Duke' also, as a Scotehnian, gloried over Livingstone as :a countryman; and as a native of one of the islands of. the West of Caledonia, and concluded with: a graceful allusion to. lona, one of these• islands, formerly : the source of light ' to Western Europe, and to Livingstone, born near to it, as destined, he' hoped, to carry to benighted Africa , ,the blessings' of , the Goa-' pel of aria: Dr: Wilberforce,aßishopr of Oxford, was present. As the . ,son ''of Williain Wilber force, he expressed his desire to see the shive trade aboliihed. He also expressed great admiration for the 'traveler, and his hope for a great future for Christianity in Africa. One cannot help suspecting that (‘ Christianity" with lifm, means, not the Moffat and'Livingitene type of, it, but Ox ford Christianity,cwithApostolie succession priests, trained in the semi-monastic (Bishop's own Institution,) College at Cuddesden y going forth to set up their cathedrals, and altars, and (( mummeries," amongst the as tonished Africans, thus giving them A:tot, 'bread, but a etone. ' The said - " Slippery Sam" is.indeed,a , dexterous man. With a Dissenter at his side, he •is very liberal ; with the semi-skeptical members of the "Stirling. Club," he has, ere now, dined in that very hall, himself a member; while with Henry. of Exeter and other. High 'Church bishops, he takes counsel to, defeat any measure which would abridge their ab solute power over their dioceses. He is able, eloquent,- plotting,. dangerous.; a hybred-Bvangelieal, and a thorough Jesuit. The following furnishes some insight into his doings.: At the Annual Meeting of the Manchester Aux iliary of the Church Pastoral-Aid Society, in the Free-trade Hall, the Bar. Canon Stowell, referr ing to the importance of the veto of the Society, said a large proportion of the 'young clergy were preparing to be the pioneers of the Church of Rome in the Church ofEngland, and some of our bishops were caught in the snare, and were either dupes or depigns inthe matter. The last number of the Qitarterly Review stated that a theol4oal college had been established ' at Cuddeaden by thi! Bishop of Oxford; and three or our other bish ops had agreed to* accept 'a full' year's, residence at Cu ddesden, in lieu of the Cumbridge moluntiry; or the theological lecture of Oxford- The same periodical stated that the college 'was " fitted up with every fantastic decoration to' which It party meaning has been assigned.;" that the so-called altar "affects in every particular the, closest ap proximation'to the Romish model ;" that the ser vice of, the sacrament of • tbe Lerd's Supper is, "conducted with genuflexions, rinsing of cups in the Piscina, 'and oth'er 'liet . foreign to the ritual:and usages of the Church of.
