nsslst In Lawrence. We have but very few
members in the town; hence we will have
to depend principally upon non•professors
for material aid, here, as we did in the city
of Erie, Pa. And my impression is that we
cannot raise more than $3,000 or $4,000
here, for a house of that style.
Can we not find six men who will be will
ing to furnish I sl,ooo each to assist in the
erection of an Old School Presbyterian
church edifice in the City of Lawrence,
Kansas. We ask the funds simply nn the
f o nniriog conditions, namely, when the
church building is completed, the seats shall
be valued by a committee at a sufficient
amount to cover the whole cost of the house,
and then shall be offered for sale at public
vendue; the first bid for each seat not to be
less than the price affixed to the same by
said valuation, and, when sold, the proceeds
shall be divided, pro rata, among the stock.
holders; said stockholders jointly holding
the lot and building as security until by sale
of seats they receive the amount which they
advanced. Bat such indebtedness shall not
be a lien on the seats which are sold, neither
upon the house and lot any further than to
Veeeive the proceeds of the aforesaid sales.
Cannot this $6,000 be raised by individuals.
or by churches, or by Presbyteries ? I
plead not for myself, but I plead for our
common cause—the cause of our blessed
Master.
The great outward difficulty in our way
seems to be the want of houses of worship.
In Lawrence, we occupy the Congregational
church; in Lecompton, the Methodist church
(South); in Prairie City, the Methodist
church (North); and, hence, we are, to a
certain extent, under their control; and in
Franklin, Bloomington, and Big Springs, in
connexion with various denominations, we
occupy school houses.
But I think the great obstacle in our way
is . the earthliness, the indifference, and luke
warmness of Christians, and the, want of
devotedness, prayer, and faith on tge part of
God's people. But in this respect, I think,
I can see indications for the better. 0, for
the outpouring of God's Spirit.

Circular,
The undersigned, in behalf of the Board
of Trustees of the Western Theological
Seminary, would respectfully address the
Pastors and Sessions of the churches in the
Synods of Pittsburgh, Wheeling, Ohio, and
Allegheny:
DEAR BRETHREN :—We have great cause
for thankfulness, when we compare the situ
ation of our Seminary now, with that of
former times. An endowment of three Pro
fessorships safely funded, with about $5.000
as a beginning for a Fourth Professorship;`
four houses for our Professors finished, and
our Seminary building completed. But our
very prosperity will endanger us, if it draws
the attention of the churches from us,' and
leads them to suppose that no further collec
tions are necessary. We do need, now, and
shall need for some time to oome, a small
annual collection from each of the churches.
We have four houses upon our ground;
these are taxed; somelling is due for the
building of the two last built; interest must
be paid upon this debt. The Seminary is
supplied with water,
gas, fuel, &e., and must
be insured, repaired, kept in order, &o.; all
this requires about $5OO mare annually than
we are able to meet. Our endowment is
needed to pay our Professors; we can use it
for no other pUrpose. The room rent which
each student pays, enables us to pay a part
of our liabilities 3 but over and above all our
income we need $5OO annually, to pay our
taxes, insurance, &c. If this is not collected,
we shall create a debt to that amount every
year- 7 a debt for our contingent current
expenses. This is our situation. Believing
that every business - man will see at once our
necessity, and that many churches and in•
diyidnals would esteem it a privilege to con
tribute to our beloved institution, the.small
amount necessary to comfort and honor, we
make our appeal, hoping that every Pastor
and Session will bring the matter before their
respective churches as speedily as convenient,
and forward the amount to our Treasurer,
Mr. Theodore Nevi°, Pittsburgh, Pa.

Revival at Erie. Pa.
Ray D. MolKuvriEv, D. D.—Dear Bro.
titer:—Park Presbyterian church, Erie, Pa.,
has been the subject of a gracious refreshing.
The many who have aided, and prayed
for her prosperity, will be glad to learn that
more than fifty souls give evidence of regen
eration. The work is silently progressing,
and with no apparent decrease of interest.
God alone has been our helper, and to him
be the praise. Fourteen by profession, and
four by certificate, were added, last Sabbath,
to this church. The Lord hamed our city as
one which should know a day of his visita
tion.—See 2. Them iii : 1.

For the Presbyterian Banner and Advocate
Rev. Stuart Robinson's Work on the
Church.
It was often said, about the time of Mr.
Robinson's election to the Chair he now
fills in the Danville Seminary, that there
were many melt in our Church who could
fill it as well as he, while there were few
who had qualifications for the pulpit at all
equal to his; and, therefore ,
_ that he ought
not to be transferred to that Seminary. The
reading of this hook, we think, will satisfy
all of that way of thinking that they Item
mistaken. At least, the Cbureh is much
richer than we supposed it to be, if it has
many men who could write such a book as
this, after teaching in a Seminary less than
a year and a half. It is very short—would
it were longer—but it is much in little ; a
book of principles ; semina, rerun . The
author modestly disclaims originality; and,
in one sense, justly, But it is as original
as any treatise could be on the subject it
discusses; and it is no small honor to the
young institution at Danville, that it should
already have so abundantly repaid the
Church for whatever of sacrifice and labor
were involved in founding it, by presenting
her two such works as the "Knowledge of
God Objectively Considered," and " The
Church of God as an Essential Element of
the Gospel," They constitute together a no
ble vindication of the wisdom of the As
sembly in regard to that Seminary. We
advise all our ministers and elders to get
this book and read it. We advise ouryoung
ministers to give their days and nights to it,
until they have mastered its principles. To
those who have been fascinated by Mr. Rob
inson's eloquence in the pulpit, we would
say, that they will find here many passages
which will stir them us in former days; and
that they cannot help being interested in
the style and manner, if not in the subject
of the discussion.
We feel personally indebted to the author,
also, for the " Appendix." It contains
documents that we have long been anxiong
to get, but have net been able. It is itself
worth more than the price of the whole
volume. * *

THE PITTSBURGH, FORT WAYS= AND CHICAGO
RAILROAD has now three daily through trains—
one leaving at 2.40 A. M., another at 7 A. M.,
and another at 2.15 P. M. The road is now in
fine order, and the trains run with the greatest
regularity. We can unhesitatingly recommend
this route to all travelers to the West, for both
speed and safety, and also on account of the gen

things which add greatly to one's comfort in a
long journey.
THE PENNSYLVANIA CENTRAL hag also three
daily trains, and, as usual, is doing a vast amount
of business with the greatest promptness.
FRUIT.—Some time ago it was reported that the
late frosts had almost altogether destroyed the
fruit crop, for the present season. But the injury
fell far short of what was at first anticipated. The
prospects for apples, pears, and cherries are most
cheering. And even the peaches promise toler
ably well. The fruit culture is receiving great
attention in this region, and according to present
appearances, it will only require a few years
more for us to present some as fine and extensive
orchards as can be found anywhere in the United
States.

seventy-one years of age.

St. Louts, May B.—Maj. General Smith has
issued elaborate orders relative to the movements
of the trains and troops of the Utah forces. The
trains are to be divided into divisions of two hun

will be organized into columns, each column con
stituting an escort of the division general supply
train. The first column, under command of Liens.
Col. Andrews, is organized and ordered to march.
The second column, undor Col. Monroe, compris

march from Leavenworth on the 15th inst. The
third column, under Col. May, marches on the
20th. The fourth column, under Col. Morrison,
will march on the 25th. The fifth column, under
Col. Sumner, marches on the 30th. The sixth
column, Major Emory, on the 4th of June. These
columns, for the present, constitute the first Brig
ade of the Utah forces under command of General
Harney. Each column will be supplied with four
months' provisions; which are to be . replenished

Smith is yet in this city—the state of his health

Curability of Consumption---Further
Proofs.
Letter No. 9.
But we have other proofs of the curability of
Consumption. For several years past it has been
our custom to keep a written record of every case
of interest for which we have prescribed. We
have now over forty volumes of thew+ recorded
cases; and, excepting in oases treated by letter
when a personal examination was impracticable,
we have bere an account recorded of the condi
tion of each person's bogs when the examination
was made, together with the treatment pursued
and its results. We can insert here only a single
case taken from among many on our, records, to
which we shall be happy to refer those who may
desire farther evidence of this kind. The case
given below seemed about as hopeless as any we
are called upon to prescribe for, it being one of
true Tubercular Hereditary Consumption:

We would add, in connexion with the above,
that we do not by tiny means pretend to assert,
that recovery in these extreme asses is common,
but simply to show that there is, even in severe
and advanced cases, some encouragement for the
patient to hope for relief. Still a person in in
cipient consumption who waits till the last, before
applying to proper 'sources for help, is "guilty of
little less than'suicide.

KELM, in the 74th year of his age.
The deceased was a worthy member bf the
Presbyterian Churoh for forty-seven years. He
united with the Presbyterian church of Unity,
then under the paetoral care of 11ev. Mr. Speer,
in 1811, and moved to Ohio, to the place where he
died, in 1823. He then united with the church
of Buffalo, in the Presbytery of Lancaster, (now
Zanesville,) where he resided to his death. The
writer was acquainted with him , from his youth,
and knew him to be an honest, upright and exem
plary man, and Christian. S.M.
DIED--At Allegheny Furnace, Blair Co., Pa.,
on the 16th inst., Mr. James PARKA, Sr., In the
74th year of his age.
Mr. Parke was a native of Scotland. He emi
grated to this country some years ago, since
which time he has lead a consistent Christian life,
as a member of the Associate Presbyterian
Church. He was the father of several children,
part of whom had gone before him, as we hum
bly hope, to welcome him to heavenly joys. The
impression had been upon his mind for years,
that he would outlive them all, and be left alone
here. Things were, however, differently ordered.
Some of them still survive him, and to his
youngest son, James, was permitted the mournful
pleasure of having his last remains respectably
committed to the grave. Mr. Parke had been
for some months quite feeble in body and in
mind, bat his strong desire for, and punctual
attendance upon the public means , of grace, so
long as he was able to go to the house of God;
and his almost constant perusal of , the Scriptures,
and other religions books, until the end, showed
the well-fixed habits of hie soul, and leave no
room to doubt of his ahundant fitness, through
riches of grace in Christ, for his change. The
language of this bereavement to his friends and
°there is, "Be ye also ready."
O. M. FITOR, D
Dm—On the 26th of March last, Mr. Smarm.
DAMAN" in the 82d year of his age.
The advanced age and numerous shining vir
tues of the deceased, entitle him to more than
merely a passing notice. Mr. Buchanan' was born
in Sherman's Villey, Pa., and came with his
father's family, when about ten years of age, to
near West Middletown, Washington County, Pa.
In early life he became connected with the Pres
,
byterian church of Lower Bnffalo. He was
united in marriage to Miss Mary Neiper, of Alit
gheny County, Pa., in the year 1802. Being
desirous of procuring a home for his growing
family, he removed in the year 1806 to the young
State of Ohio, and settled on. the farm, on which
he died, in Connotton Valley, then a wild un
broken forest.,There were no means of grace,
under Presbyterian direction, enjoyed in this part
of the country, at that time ; but a short time
previously, Rev. Mr., subsequently Rev. Dr. Bea,
had settled • at. Crab Apple and Beech Spring
churches. The deceased, with a few others who
came hare about the same time, immediately took
measures to secure a part of his ministerial
labors among them ; but it was not until 1810
that this object was gained, as to stated preach
ing. At that time, Dr. Rao commenced his min
istrations in Connotton and Still Water Valleys.
The result of these labors was that in 1817, seven
years after, the Ridge • congregation was organ
ized. A few years after< the organization of the
church, Mr. Buchanan was elected a Ruling Elder.
He continued in the discharge of the duties of
this office until December, 1849, when, in view
of the infirm state of his health, Session granted
him permission of optional attendance upon its
meetings. Although thus released, by a vote of
his brethren, from all responsibilities, as an elder,
in the proceedings of Session, yet their confidenet;
in the rriadom of hie counsels induced them, on
more than one occasion, to hold their meetings in
his room, in, order to, derive the advantage to
their actions resulting from his prayers and ex
perience.
For several years past he lived in a state of
alMost entire seclusion from society. He retired
to rest on the night of his deiease and fell asleep ;
from this sleep he awoke not in this world. So
peaceful was his departure that the precise
moment of it is not known. His remains were
followed to the grave by a very large coneonrse
those to who m liad proved ,a tried friend, a
kind neighbor, an affectionate father and grand
father. , " Mark the perfect man and behold the
upright; for the end'of that man is peace.",
Disn—On Sahbith Morning, March 29th, at
the house of her 'brother-In-law, Mr. John G.
Risher, in Millie • Township, Allegheny County,
Pa., Mrs, MAItTla MgCnza, widow of the late
Mr. John McCrea; foimany years a Ruling Bider
in the Blairsville Presbyterian churph. -
After the decease of her husband, she removed
to Lebanpn church, the church of her earlier days.
Her husband and all her, children were called
away from her, and she was left as the lone mem
ber of her family.. Her bereavements were many,
but a sense of God's presence, and the impartation
of God's grace, enabled her to endure them. She
Was confined to ler bed for the last three months,
and it was there she evidenced her living faith in
her blessed Master. She lived and died a Chris
tian. In making known'her request that her
pastor would write her obituary notice, she aaid,
"Let nothing be.said in my praise; for I deserve
no praise." When such a Christian woman—so
amiable, so chaste, ' and so 'lovely in her every
trait of character—passes , away from us, it is
hard to forbear writing in her praise. Her works
abide, and though dead, her name liveth.
Dino----At the . residence of his mother, Mrs.
Eleanor Brokaw,in Belmont County, Ohio. on the
25th of March, r. lalat BILOKAN, inther22dyear
of his age.
This'yonng man had given himself to.the Lord
as a candidate for the Gospel ministry. As a
student, he was devoted and successful, and gave
high promise of usefulness in the profession of

O.H.M.
his choice, upon which his heart was fixed to the
hour of his death. When dying he said, with
fixed confidence, " I feel that I can trust in him,
though he slay me." In this death, the fond
hopes of a widowed mother, and three brothers,
have been blasted, and the Church deprived of a
very promising candidate. " But it is the Lord,"
and "it is well." May his young companions,
so numerous and so fondly attached, be warned
to prepare for the coming of the Son of Man.
Dren—On the 19th of April, MannannT Rl
- second daughter of N. B. Campbell, of
Mt. Pleasant Tp , Washington Co., Pa., in the
11th year of her age.
Few, at so early a period, are allowed to expe
rience so much comfort and joy, in communing
with Jesus, as did this lovely child, during her
sickness. She never uttered a complaint, though
she suffered much. She spoke of Jeers and
talked of heaven with all the oomposure of an
aged Christian; saying frequently that she had
no wish to remain in this world of sin, but
wished to go to her Father's house in heaven.
She bid farewell to ail around. her a short time
before she expired, urging them to prepare to
meet : her in heaven. Her bereaved and stricken
father may take consolation from the hope that
this little one has now gone to heaven to join
the departed 'mother in singing the praises of
Jesus.
Dran—Of pulmonary. disease, February 19th,
1858, at the residence of her husband, in Centre
Township, Indiana County, Mrs. ELI= SimpsoN,
in the 89th year of her age. .
It is with deep and heartfelt sorrow that -we
record this painful dispensation of Providence,
yet it is not for her we sorrow whom we have
abundant reason , to believe that. Jesus has taken
to those heavenly mansions ;which he, has •pre
pared for those who love him; but-for -those
who loved her . here—and- they were mar--
for her husband,. her , two little daughters, the
church, and the community, who have lost in
her departure an ornament and a blessing. She
was of a lovely temperament, and bore her afflic
tions with patience and =complaining fortitude
until the day before her death. Though she felt
that the cords which held her in being- was soon
to be broken,and being asked if she wan prepared
to die, her own reply , was, that there had One
gone before her who had smoothed the- way, and
therefore she was ready to follow whenever the
Master would call for her. She was a eonsiatent
member of the Associate Reformed Church. Her
life was devoted to Christ with a faithfulness and
singleness of heart entirely unusual, and won for
her the esteem and love of all who_knew her. But
the summons of death came, and she must leave
them, although endeared to her; her Master
called, and she was ready to say the will of her
Master be done- , So she fell asleep in Jesus, and
of her we may truly say, " Blessed are the dead
which die in'the Lord." Cl-
