THEOLOGICAL SEMINARIES
The Seminaries at Princeton, Allegheny,
Danville, and Prince Edward, sent in en
couraging reports. Our own at Allegheny,
is not the least flourishing. The blessing of
God upon ft has been very great.
The overture from the Synod of Chicago,
respecting the North• Western effort, was
considered as not putting the subject fully
into the hands of the Assembly, and no ac
tion was taken. It is in the hands of the
Synods still.
AN ASSEMBLY'S COMMENTARY ON THE
BIBLE.
A Presbyterian Commentary, on the whole
Bible, authorized, produced and sanctioned
by the General Assembly, has been a favoi
ite topic with Dr. R J. Breekinridge. Sotne
twenty years ego he brought the subjeot for
ward, but it then received very little favor.
Now he again introduced it, in a formal paper
and with a definite plan. Some good speech
es were made in its behalf, .but these, with
all the tact and eloquence of the mover, could
not induce the Assembly to commit itself.
Conservative men desired some time to de-
liberate, to examine plans, to consider the
practicability of the suggestion, and the de
sirableness, and to compare views with oth
ers. Action was hence deferred to the next
Assembly.
This decision was wise. The opinion of
the Church, on a new subject, eau never be
had on its first presentation on the floor of
the House. It is well that a matter should
be there offered, its invariance presented,
and interest elicited. Bat a decision, ordi
narily, should be postponed. There should
be discussion in the journals, and in' the low
er Courts. Members who have had the stib
jeet before them for' months, and who are
possessed of the sentiments of their constit
uents, are the proper , persons to decide. Had
the brethren who determined upon a North-
Western Seminary, discussed the eubjeot for
a year in the public prints, instead of pre
senting a Plan and Constitution, " cut and
dry," to the Synods, adapted to enforoe irrt.
mediate action; or had the Synods resisted
the pressure, and deferred action for a year,
the injury of division and distraction, and
the mortification of a failure, would have
been avoided.
The paper of Dr. Breokinridge, and a
sketch of the argument in the Assembly, as
reported by the Witness, appears <in the
proceedings, in other columns. Editorial
views, and likely those of correspondents
also, will be presented in due time.
THE NEW SCHOOL SOUTH- 7 NO UNION
Where there is, not a union in sentiment,
there should be. none in. Church organiza
tion. Only those who are like.minded,
should band together. Harmony is essen
tial to effective co .operation. How can two
walk together who are not agreed ? The
Banner and Advocate has, several times,
presented strong points of difference, from
their own deolarations, between the brethren
of the New School goutii, and Old School
Presbyterians. For us to consent to a union
would be utter folly. It would be to ex
change peace for strife, and joy for sorrow.
Dr. Read and Mr. Marshall, N. S. Dele
gates, attended our meeting. Their letter to
the Assembly, announcing their appoint
ment and presence, was responded to by.
the designating of Drs. Van Rensselaer and
Palmer, and Mr. W. M. Cunningham, to
meet them in conference. To this Commit
tee they submitted their instructions, which
were made a sine qua non, calling upon us 1
to repudiate our peculiarities and to embrace
theirs. These were submitted to the House,
and, being utterly inadmissible, the union
was declined unanimously. Not a voice,
was raised in behalf of the alliance tendered.
Not a vote cast in its favor. This hearty and
entire cordiality in our body, is indicative of
its present homogeneity, and promises long
continued harmony and efficiency.
The paper adopted by the Assembly, in
response to that tendered to it, is worthy of
perusal. It is commended to consideration.
It sets the door wide open, for all who are like
trti ,, ded with us, to enter in; and, on their
giving us satisfactory evidence that they are ,
so minded, it bids them welcome. It settles
the question of our cherished policy of indi
vidual examination, in order to an entrance;
and of an honest, hearty, and full reception
of our Standards, on the part of all whom
we will recognize as teachers in our church
es. In declining the union with our breth
ren, we do not unohurch them. We do not.
ignore them as Christians. We but say :
Brethren, you and we are not agreed, and a
union is undesirable. The Lord bless them
and us.
Monday, May 17, 1858.
The session of the Assembly now draws
toward a close, and much anxiety is mini
fested to do up business rapidly. Many.
members talk of leaving this evening.
There may be adequate cause for their de
parture, but it should be something really
important which would induce the repre

aecount of great disorders existing there ;
and, in the exercise of its constitutional au
thority, had dissolved the pastoral relation.
Whether there was necessity for this ex
treme action, whether it was done wisely or
unwisely, oppressively or kindly, does not
yet appear; and, as we said, the papers pre
sented are so defective about the origin of the
matter as to embarrass the Assembly in judg
ing. Immense disorder is shown, in the
progress of events, but the beginning dwells
in obscurity.
But we wish that all such matters, if
"offences" must come, could be kept at
home. The Presbytery is always the best
judge, and, even if they should err, it is
immensely better to suffer wrong, than to
disturb the whole Church by appeals, and
publish scandal throughout the entire land.
We greatly wish that the Constitution of
our Church were so modified that there
could be an appeal, or complaint, to only one
Superior Court; that is, that a case origina
ting in the session could be carried no
farther than the. Presbytery, and one orig
inating in the Presbytery must stop in the
Synod. The ends of justice would be
greatly promoted thereby, and the Assembly
would be saved much time and trouble, and
the reputation of the body escape a great
damage. One exoeption, and only one,
might be admitted ; which would be, in the
case of a minister deposed for heterodoxy.
ASSOCIATE REFORMED SYNOD OF TLIE

The prospeot of an amalgamation with
this excellent body of orthodox brethren,
brightens but slowly. They are one with
us in doctrine and order, and in worship
also, except in their exclusive use of a lit
eral version of =the Psalms of David as their
Book of Praise. Our Committee of Con
ference was, however, continued and en
larged. Their Delegate, Rev. J. M. Young,
made a very favorable impression on the As

THE STATE 'OF RELIGION
A deeply interesting report on the state
of religion was presented by Rev. Lerby J.
Halsey, D.D., and adopted. It will be duly
published. The Assembly order that it
shall be read in all the churches. Seventy
Presbyteries reported revivals, and many
others spoke of peace, unity, attention to
ordinances, and awakened desire. May all
this be but the beginning of the outpouring
of God's Spirit, hastening on the latter day,
when all people shall be willingly and glo
riously under Messiah's reign I After the
adoption of the report, the Assembly united
in 'a
song of praise, with prayer and thanks
giving.
SYSTEMATIC BENEVOLENCE
The report on Systematic Benevolence
was prepared and read by Dr. D. X. Junkin.
It is able and instructive, and will be given
to the churches. Progress is being made in
the good work. Pastors are the leaders
therein. Elders are the coadjutors. The
whole congregation are, or should be, fellow
laborers. Rich and poor, parents and chil•
dren, bond and free, every soul that has a
hope in Christ, or that would attain to a
hope, should do something in and for Christ's
cause. Let pastors well instruct the people,
and well lead them, and there will be great
results.
Yesterday was the season of sacred rest
and social worship. The Evangelical church
es were mainly occupied by members of the
Assembly. -In the afternoon, the Sacrament
of the Lord's Supper was administered, un
der the direction of the Assembly, in the
First church. A large number of the
brethren, and many of the Chrlstians of the
city, participated. ' The P• M. was chosen
for the ordinance,, because that ,then the
churches generally are- not open, and all,
ministers and people, might attend. But
still, for the members of the. Assembly, it
was not the most favorable hour. Many
were lodged at great distances from the
church, and were unwilling to patronize
either the omnibus or the railear on the
Sabbath, and, the day being oppressively
warm, a few were hence obliged to decline
a second long walk in the sun, and were thus
deprived of the enjoyment of the oommu.
nion service.
To-day the weather continues warm, and
the house is worried with judicial business.
In such a case, admitting the righteousness
of an appellant's cause as probable, it is still
difficult to banish the thought, " Why do ye
not rather suffer wrong?"
Two Fathers in the Church Gone to their
Best.
The Rev. William Wylie, D. D., died in
Wheeling, Va., on Sabbath morning, the
9th inst., at the age of eighty-five. Dr.
Wylie was well known in the early history
of the Western Church, and continued to
preach two or three times a week until past
eighty years of age, and then only ceased on
account of a fall, which deprived bim of the
use of , his limbs. But even after that, he
was frequently carried to the sanctuary in
his chair, from which he addressed the au
dience with great ability and ardor. His
psstoral labors extended over a good part of
Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio.
At the Synodical Copvention, held in Pitts
burgh last Fdll, an extract from a letter
written by him concerning the objects of the
meeting, was read, which affected many
hearts.
The Rev. H. P. Goodrich, D. R., died at
his residence in Carondelet, near Bt. Louis,
No., on the evening of the 17th inst. He
occupied, during his lifetime, a high position
in the Church as a scholar and teacher, and
was once a Professor in one of our Theo
logical Seminaries.
PRESBYTERIAN BANNER AND ADVOCATE.
THE
Sabbath Selool Literature.
Too much care cannot be given to the
preparation and selection of the books to be
introduced into our Sabbath Schools. A
friend, whose judgment is worthy of the
highest confidence, writes the following note
concerning a new volume, about to be issued
by the American Sunday School Union :
" Fact is as attractive as fiction, and is of
much higher moral value." Such is the first
sentence of the preface of a volume, ab=ut to
be issued by the American Sunday School
Union, entitled, " Historical Tales for
Young Protestants." The writer has had
the proof•sbeets kindly furnished him. The
work is a handsome 12mo. volume of one
hundred and eighty-nine pages. It is
gotten up with much care. We have read
several chapters, and they are capital. It
was Archbishop Tillotson,, perhaps, who
said, " Two things have greatly promoted
and maintained the Protestant interest, viz.,
catechizing, and the history of the Martyrs."
Let our young people learn the price paid
for all their liberties. These truthful nar
ratives must have a powerful effect, and
we predict for them a wide circulation.
Let the first edition be' widely scattered,
and the second will , soon be called for:
Revivals:
STEUBENVILLE, OHIO.—The First Pres•
byterian church continues to have the pres
ence and power of the Spirit. At the Corn
reunion, last Sabbath , week, twenty-six more
were added on examination, and twelve by
certificate; making a.total addition of eigh
t)-five einee January,- of whom sixty-nine
were on examination. The _pastor writes:
"This work, succeeding years 'of distressing
declension, and immediately, following two
successive communion seasons, at which not
one:individual was added, constrains many
•
of us to exclaim, 'Great and marvelous are
thy works, Lord God,Almighty Almighty, just and
true are thy ways, thou King of saints!"

EASTERN SUMMAR,Y.
BOSTON AND NEW ENGLAND.
We lately noticed that Dr. Adams had, upon
invitation of the pastor, repeated his sermon on
The Reasonableness of Future Puniehment before
the congregation of the Rev. Thomas Starr King,
which is Unitarian, although Mr. King is' said to
be a Universalist, and was formerly settled over
a Universalist Society. Since then, Mr. King
has preached and repeated a sermon on the "Lan
guage of Jesus Concerning Eternal Punishment."
And notice has been -given that he will email:ate
the subject in a discourse on the " Unreasonable
ness of the Doctrine of Endless punishment for
the Sins of this Life." These discourses are in•
tended to be replies to the sermon of Dr. Adams
and will soon be published.
Some time ago a Union Clerical Prayer Meeting
was formed, in which some of the Evangelical
denominations united with Universalists and Uni
te:rid:es. The project did not find ranch - favor
With the more thorough going orthodox Congre
gationalists, but -it has aone far enough to show
that it was ill advieed, and that this!movemen t
will, in the end, be pernicious. Whiit possible
good can result to Evangelical Christianity from
devotional meetings, where-the Universalist and
Unitarian—adhering-with the utmost tenacity to
their errors—preside and conduct the exercises
in turn with the others? The evil effects are`al
ready appearing, and the end is not yet.
•
It has been customary to look upon the,Divin
ity School at Cambridge, as the fountain whence
flowed the advocates and defenders of American
Unitarianism; but actual examination reveals
the fact that only one third of the Unitarian ed
ucated ministers received their professional train
ing at that place. Thirteen of them have come
from Andover Theological Seminary; thirty from
Brown University, Rhoda Island ; and more than
a dozen from Bowdoin College, Maine.
The Shower of Divine Grace has not yet ceased
to fall, although the - same publicity is not given
to` the progress of the work of grace, as some
time ago, More than five hundred have been al
ready'added to the different Orthodox Congrega
tional churches in this city. And the Congrega
tionalist estimates the number of conversions in
the ohnrches of this - order throughout New Eng
land,;during the past Winter, at nine thousand
.five hundred. At the same time the results upon
communities have been most happy. Scoffing
lips have been closed; the profane swearer has
ceased from his oaths; the drunkard has left his
cup ; the Sabbath day is kept holy by those who
formerly remembered it not; and' the degraded
and abandoned have forsaken their wickedness.
New England mourns the loss of another who
has done gpod service to the cause of truth. The
Rev. Bennet Tyler, D. D., died suddenly at East
Windsor Hill, on the evening of the 14th inst., at
the age of seventy-four. .In his day he was a
man of note; After graduating at Yale, he
preached some years in his native county, Litch
field, whence be was called to the Presidency of
Dartmouth College. • From this he went to Port
land, Maine, to occupy the pulpit once filled by
the saintly Payson. And.in 1834 be accepted a
professorship in Theology, and the Presidency in
the Theological Seminary, lately, instituted at
East Windsor, Conn., to counteract the errors of
the New Haven School under the lead of the late
Dr. Taylor, where he remained Until the time of
his death. The controversy in whioh he and Dr.
Taylor were the leaders made his name known
throughout the country. He was an able preach
er, and a logical and vigorous thinker.

The Lager Beer trade is carried on to an enor

charged with selling intoxicating drinks on •the
Sabbath, the accounts given of the amount drunk

the article be intoxicating or not, in the sense in
which the term is generally employed, it is used
by many to a most bestial extent.

Contrast the end of this man with that of An

well known in commercial, benevolent, and relig

few Christian merchants leave behind them a son
in every way qualified to fill the places made va
cant, as was he who has gone to his reward at the
early age of forty. Well do we remember the
tears that coursed down his cheeks, when he took
the place so long occupied by his father, as Pres
ident of the New York Colonization Society, when
Dr. Bethune spoke so eloquently of Ahe benevo

officer. Like his father, Mr. Phelps was an hum

every good work. For several years he has giv

A farewell meeting was held at Dr. Adams'

three missionaries from the United • States, and
sixty-nine female assistants; thirty-seven church

We would•oall youlattention to tho advertise
ment of -Prof. 0. J. Wood's flair Restoratire,
which• appears in the columns of our present
number.
From our long acquaintance with the proprie
tor, and with numerous individuals who have used
his preparation with perfect; success for the last
two years, we feel no hesitation in recommending
the article as superior to any other preparations
new in use for the same purpose, for--restor
ing gray hair to its Original color, a sure and
perfect care Tor baldness, and a never failing
preventive for the falling of the hair. '
It is decidedly the best and most popular in use
for beautifying, preserving, restoring and strength
ening the hair relieving diseases of the skin, and
removing scur ! ff, dandruff, and all eraptions' and
feVerish heat from - the scalp
We speak in relation to the above,from what we
know, having been, personally . , acquainted , with
numerous persons who have.used the Restorative
for the above prirposes With: the most gratifying
results...
It is not often we notice a patent medicine ; in
*deed, we think we have never puffed one before ;
but Prof. Wood's Hair Restorative is something
so superior to most of the preparations of the
day, that we cannot forbear asking the attention
of our readers to it—Catholic Vindicator.

Resolutions
. have been proposed in the House
of CommOb Mr: Cardwell, and in the House
of Lerdi ` by Lord Shaftesbury, censuring the
government for the publication of their dispatch
to the Governor General of Inda, in regard to his
first proclamation to the people of Oude. Lord
Ellenborough assumes all the responsibility for
this ict, and resigned his post in the ministry,
•whieh.vvas accepted.
Thelionse.of Commons bad disagreed to the
amendments of the House of _Lords to the Jewis h bill, and admitted Baron Rothschild as a member
of their committee to confer 'with' a committee
from the House of Lords. • •
The Hon. Edward Erskine has been appointed
Secretary of Legation at. Washington.
The London Times says that the resolutions
censuring the government will be supported by
Lord John Russell and the Peelite party, Ifs well
as by the friends of Lord• Palmerston. Specula
tions were rife as to whether. Ministers would re
sign or dissolve Parliament, in the event of the
resolutions passing.
All the Atlantic cable is on board the United
States steam frigate Niagara and the British
steamer Agamemnon. They will . , depart on the
experimental trip to test, the maeltinery on the
25th of May. The expedition was, only waiting
the adjustment of the paying out apparatus.
A. serious accident had occurred on the Trent
Valley Railway, by which three . lives were lost,
and four persons were seriously injured.
The disagreement of the House of Commons
with the House of Lords, on the Jewish bill,'was
carried by a vote of 268 against 150.
lyo doubt seems to be entertained that the pro
posed vote of censure will be adopted by the
Heise of Commons on Thursday, althougle it
Seems 'almost impossible that a' dissolution will
either be contemplated or allowed.
