NEW YORK, July 19, 1853. Rkv. Da. M'Kuirkkv :—Dear Sir : I am indebted to your courtesy for a copy of the Banner containing a report of the pro ceedings at the Board of Domestic Missions, on Jmy 28th. In that report you invite Dr. M'Elroy, or myself, or both, to use your columns for the publication of the remarks offered by us at that meeting. For all which you will please to accept my thanks. The following is the substance of what ./1 said, or read " My opinions on the question of abolish ing the office of Associate Secretary, were formed without reference to the mere exam ple of any of the other Boards of our Church. Neither have they any reference to the con• tinning in office of the present Associate Secretary. I have • only this to say here, concerning him, that supposing the office to be necessary, , the experience, fidelity, and acceptance of the incumbent forcefully mg : . gest his continuance.".(ln reverting to the personal bearing of the question, I added afterwards, that "having heard of a rumor to the effeot , ..that the Secretary's visit to California;'last year, had involved the cause of our missions in that State in great odium, growing out of some secular business of which he had the management, I had' taken the opportunity of a recent interview with Dr. Scott, of San Francisco, the Moderator of the last General Assembly, to inquire specifically into the truth of that rumor. Dr. Scott assured me that he had never heard of it in California; and, moreover, that the prudence, diligence, and ability of the Secretary, in California, had been of the highest service to thecause of our missions on the Paeific, and had greatly endeared the Secretary himself to the ministers and churches in' that region. In the meantime, the whole expense of Mat jaarney, to the Board, was but little over two hundred dol. litre /") "But I was persuaded that the office ought not to be abolished. (1.) Notwith standing the evident inclination of a portion of the Asserably to abolish it, the' body hesi tated. And' the very doubt thus thrown upon the proposition is trantferred with, it to the Board—with heavier , , weight, has. much as the . Assembly not only pessessed the whole authority over the question, but, as freshly representing the whole' Church, was far more competent to decide it. It appeared.to me, moreover, that the weight of character, influence, and argument, in the Assembly, was against the proposition. " (24 The abolition of all merely Collect ing Agencies, as such, does not necessarily suggest the abolition of the office of Asso date Secretary, on the ground that that officer is also, incidentally, a Collecting Agent. (The"argument' would prove too much; it may be applied with. equal perti. ' nenoy to the office of the Corresponding Secretary. And indeed the official state ments made here to night, in regard to the limited duties of that office, would go to prove that a mere Clerk, with a salary of $BOO, could perform all the service now ren• dered by the Corresponding Secretary I) But the collecting agencies having been abolished, the necessity of such services as have been devolved upon the Associate Sec retary, or interchangeably upon the Corre sponding Secretary, becomes only the more urgent. Neither of these officers has a sine cure ; neither of them is a mere register and re corder. There is work to be done by both that requires able and diligent men. The Domestic Missions of our Church are not stationary / but progreseive, and we must provide for enlargement. They involve a system of collection and disbursement, bat not of simple receipt and payment of money The interest, affection, and co-operation of the churches are to be enlisted, and sus tained, and increased ; and the missionary field is to be superintended and thoroughly cultivated. While it is deemed essential that a Secretary should be in constant at tendance at the office in Philadelphia, to counsel with the Executive Committee, and to conduct the correspondence, an equally important and valuable service must be per formed by a Secretary, out of doors. Be sides occasional service in preriehing at im portant points, and incidentally,' in collect ing—on which I lay no great stress—l cannot but think that the visits of the Sec retary to the missionary field, on the one hand, and on the other band, his personal conferences with the Pastors, Sessions ' Pres 'byteriee, and Synods, among whom he ca n circulate with far greater rapidity than any Collecting Agent, accomplish a most desire ble and indispensable benefit—in the mutual information thus communicated, in the inti. mate knowledge thus gained by the Board, or the Executive Committee, and in the Stimulus to systematic beneficence and .eifi cient co-operation, which is thus brought to bear upon many churches which are yet far below the proper standard. The time is by no means come—if it will ever come— when, with all the excellent provisions of 011 -r Presbyterian system, there will not be needed something more than the mere spon taneous working of its various parts. The machinery must be wound up and kept in motion. The newly inaugurated plan of " Systematic Beneficence" is not going to do the work, of itself. It is not going to do it, BS if it were a charm. Resolutions on the Minutes of our Presbyteries and Synod's are not going to do it. Th'ere must be a living agency—not a simple collecting agent--to keep it before the people; to bring it before pastors and elders, and to urge it, if you please, upon their hearts, so that they may not refrain, through sluggiahnas t timidity; trelfishness, or distrust, from urging it upon their people. We are all sluggish, arid need to be reminded of our duty, and exhorted and encouraged to do it. There is much to he explained and set forth on this great work. The addresses and interviews of Secretaries with some Western Synods have been disparaged here as useless, and repre sented as havine. p provoked some muttering rhuncli , rs ' ("although another witness from West, Dr. Allan Campbell, contradicts that statement,) and yet we are told; from another quarter, that the Synod of Bahl more felt itself neglected because, for a con siderable time, no Secretary had 'visited it! The truth is, these visits, brief and infre quent as they are of necessity, and these fireside, interviews in pastors' studies and elders' houses, do great good. They leave an influence behind them, which lives and expands ; and your plans and your work as a Missionary Hoard become better 'known, appreciated, and loved by the churches. And, moreover, there is the whole mission ary field How much may be done to cheer some little church in the new settlements— how much to lift up the fainting heart of the lonely missionary—by the fact that a Secretary looks in occasionally upon his toils, and that the Board is represented by these living sympathies, and not merely by the'stipendiary dole, and the doleful exhor tation to economy I The itinerant Secretary may be able to preach to but few of the con gregations, but he can see many of the mis sionaries He can learn much by conversa tion and inspection. He can encourage the aid-receiviog congregations to aspire to, self enstentation, and to become aid-giving churches 5 and be can so promote this cause, that the remembrance and influence of such a supervision by this Board, will - remain, and endear it to the scattered laborers, and thus, by the power of a mutual sympathy, strength en and sustain your oause all over the field it cultivates, and continually enlarge 'the field itself by exploration for new enter prise. It is no time to restrict our opera tions. We need prompting agencies by which all the parts and functions of oar wide-extending organization may be brought. into universal, harmonious', and efficient co- - operation, and the much land that is before. us may be possessed. - The Board must have as many Secretaries as experience and emer gencies demonstrate to be essential. It would ill become us to consent to—or rather, to provoke—the paralysis of an ill-judged economy, and 'an !unsympathizing and ill judging parsimony; a mere matter of clerk ship, of dollars and cents. ' There is that . scattereth, and yet inarsaseth ; 'and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, and it tendeth to poverty.' " 0.) Indeed, I am so well, assured of the soundness of these views, that, instead of. contracting, I advise enlargement every way. Instead of abolishing the office of Associate Secretary, I am prepared to renew a motion once made upon this floor, for the creation of the; office. of Co "ordinate Sec retary, believe that this is - the. true pol icy of the Board. I will nit enlarge uporr it now. But it will be found that whosoever the officer may be, the sooner this Board follows the example of the Boards of Educa tion and of Foreign Missions, the sooner yoq promote .harmony among your offi cers, and, increase, the efficiency of your op erations." FRANK FAITHFUL And now, the Editor of the Banner will allow me to remark upon his report. L In your "Remarks," you say "We regret the continuance of the office of Associate Secretary. It was retained mainly by the Speeches, influence, and votes of gentlemen who but seldom attend the meetings, and who consequently cannot be informed at first hand, of the wants of the Board, of the utility, or inutility of an office, nor of the efficiency or inefficiency of an officer. In such circumstances it is exceed ingly hard;'that an office and an officer shill be forced upon those members who constitute, the business board, who meet weekly and monthly in counsel, who know all the Board's affairs, and the efficiency or otherwise of all it officers, and who do the work and bear before the churches the re sponsibility. Will the churoheis approve of this?" Now, my good Doctor, without a thought of "reproaching you for this plainness of speech "—yet, nevertheless, as one of those gentlemen, I would say in justification, (1.) that I am a member of the Board; (2.) that the Assembly in electing me, never eXpeet ed me to 'attend many meetings, but it had confidence in me that I would attend on im portant occasions, and especially when itself proposed important questions for the consid eration of the Board; and, farther, that I would keep myself informed of its " affairs ;" (3) that my position in these premises is exactly equivalent to that of the Editor of the. Banner, who can "but seldom attend ;" (4) that I have had very good opportuni ties of being "informed, 'at first hand,' of the wants of the Ikaird, of the utility or inutility of the office," in question, and of the "efficiency or inefficiency of the officer;" (5 ) 'that no "business Board" is supreme over the Board. itself; (6) that no of has been "forced" on the Board; (7.) that the " responsibility " of Continuing the office is with those "whose speeches, irtfin- eine, and votes " caused it, to be " retained ;" (8.) that if the question had been decided the ether way, I would not have reproached the " gentlemen who but seldom attend the meetings," for attending, and speaking, and voting, differently from me, and by their 44 influence" deciding the question against me; and (8.) tha't the Assembly made a large Board for just such occasions, so that the public opinion of the Church might come in to the aid of the "•business Board," and, if yon please, even to instruct it. The utility of such a reserved corps was striking ly manifest in the recent discussions of the American Bible Society. Public opinion came powerfully into the " business Board ;" and although that Board would have deci ded, as it eventually did, to recede and re scind ; yet the churches and the public) have to thank the • " speeches, influence ; and votes of gentlemen who but seldom attend the meetings" for their overwhelming de monstration in that business. There is nothing in this that deserves to be called "exceedingly hard l", 2. After analysing'the vote on retaining the nine° of Associate Secretary, you say : "Thus the working men of -the Board, who on . derstami its business and its:wants, say the office i "ONE THING IS NEEDFUL:" "ONE THING HAVE I DESIRED OF THELORD:" "THIS ONE THING I DO." PUBLICATION OFFICE, GAZETTE BUILDING, FIFTH STREth, ABOVE S HFIELD, PITTSBURGH, PA. FOR THE WEEK ENDING SATURDAY JULY 31, ISSS. is unnecessary. This is so, or otherwise, the in epiency of the occupant is so glaring, and the diffi culty of removing him is so great, that to get clear Of the incumbent they are willing to abolish the office" I/ (The italics are mine.) My dear sir, what does this mean ? What is the animus that it reveals ? What policy does it savor ? You speak as one " baying some knowledge," and as of designs and motives not hitherto aired. And is this movement but a personal matter after all.? Is it a desperate stratagem to get rid of Dr. Happersett ?—a mere barn.burning busi ness to " get &ear of an; incumbent ?"—and that incumbent a man whose " personal friendship, you enjoy;" a man of whom the last Assembly solemnly declared, that they " cherish full confidence and regard," and the Board of Domestic .Missions has just voted " nem. con.,", that " in that .declara tion of confidence and regard it cordially united r , Is he so "unnecessary," or is his "inefficiency so glaring," that the whole Church must be moved to get rid of him ? And is the ".difficulty of removing him so great," at the same time, that the , Church must be invoked to mutilate and,derange the organization of her Board of. Domestic Mis sions in order to oust him.? Does this radi-, cal movement, and revolutionary temporis ing, and mere pretence, connect itself with the, " business Board "—with the got - sip from •California, ,and with the proceed ings before the -Greneral ,Assembly ,involv 7 ing " chargetrof an, injurious nature in the premises, from 'which the Board felt them selves bound, in, common justice to shiold their Associate Secretary,?" There have been some whispers of this intent and pur port of this earnest .and, portentous move ment; and Dr. Snodgrass's speech at the, annual meeting, shrewdly surmised it. But your paragraph comes take , nearest to a pub lic avowal of the, schome—if such a scheme exists. Is this a worthy policy ? Must the Presbyterian Church resort to indirection, and stoop to injurious insinuations, against the incumbent! of any ;of her offices "Is she so powerless to try an impeachment, that she must resemble • all ooean into' tempest tossed, To waft a feather or to drown ally ?", But, however this rosy' be,i reiterate nay conviction that this is. no- time to disparage the work of the Board, ,by ,reducing its working force. To-me, the whole policy seems a strangely narrow one. Before, Dr. M'Dowell retire;:l_,,f;om die ptri...E._-_,Cor r...pi;;“llnti Scretary, the Board did me the honor of electing me Associate Secretary, such was the magnitude of the work at that time. .Surely it has not diminished since then. And are we now to retrace our steps, to deny all our history and our progress, and to proclaim to all the world that, after all the "long agony " of its 'youthful struggle for existence, and aui its achievement in strengthening the Church, and all the glory and triumph of its free expansion, the gre‘t Board of Domestic Missions of the great Presbyterian Church has reached, its limit, and now prepares itself to dwindle and to dwarf its dimensions, and its enterprise, and . doggedly subside into a mere " one.horse concern ?" Respectfully yours, For the Presbyteilan Baiaitor and Advocate , •A Suggestion About-Churches. MR. EDITOR :—Your truly valuable sheet makes its regular weekly visits, which are very welcome indeed; and it brings glad tidings of good at every visit. How joyful to hear that the grace of oar Lord Jesus Christ is steadily gathering the lost sheep home. Revivtds still go on, and the attend ants on the means of grace still increase in numbers. God grant that : the work may steadily prosper, and thousands and tens of thousands yet seek and find a sure relief from all their woes, through faith in the Lord Jesus. -The news also comes from many places that help is needed, and the cry is, We are not able to build, churches, nor to pay labor ers. The want of churches might be speed ily remedied, by a due effort, and the build ing being had, the obtaining and sustaining of a pastor would be' much less difficult. For the first, build less costly edifices; $5OO to $l,OOO will build an excellent and com modious house. Two or three thousand dol lars rightly experided, will, furnish, as com fortable and as enduring an edifice as is fre quently obtained for five or Six thousand, thus saving much toward paying a minister. Such economy is often necessary, and is as commendable in the sight of, our Divine Master, as it is to have a rnore,costly• edifice and a less. amount of religious services. Brethren, ponder over this, and see if it is not so. Again : From the " Far West" the news comes that there is a most desirable loca tion for a Presbyterian church, bnt funds cannot be obtained for building. As the Board of Church Fxtension contributes $1.50 to $5OO toward the erecting of a church, suppose the Board' , in - such. new places as contain vacant hinds, enter a .quar ter section, more or less, for a church lot, on which may be ,erected a building suitable to accommodate a small congregation till such time as a larger one will be necessary ; the Board paying such sum toward the erection of the first edifice as it may deem proper; $BOO to $5OO will readily purchase material, the congregation paying the expense of erection. The church lot would be in the care of the Trustees, who shall lease it to some competent husbandman for a certain yearly consideration, which shall be devoted to the support of a minister: When it be comes advisable to erect a more commodious edifice—in which time the church lot will have increased in value—it may be reserved as a parsonage, or a portion of it, or all, ex cept` a sufficiently large graveyard' lot, may be sold,• and the prebends be. devoted to the erection of. a church adequate to the accom modation of the people for a 199 g time to ' come. This will be accumulating church propeity, but I think in a very appropriate • J.-. WK. s way.

The Service for the sth 41 event-. her was so far afterwards modified, AO inas much as William 111. landed at `ay on the sth of November, 1688, thankkivings` were 'added -for "this %lso. ' On the 'ground' of the lapse of time, and the harshilanguage used in these Services, ‘,Lord, Stanyope pro posed their abolition. f ' Then as King Charles the olfetrtir" while pitying that unfortunate menareh; he thought that the title of "Martyr" 4 :Should be reserved for those Christians who, rather than renounce , their faith, had i ' suffered death at the hands of the Pagana, f [This would ,very Unjustly abridge the glorious martyr roll; it would exclude the vaitiins of bleat , Mary, the Wildensian "slarlghtered saints" of God, and the 44 Martyrs.of the Covenant") The objection also to f,heoom parison in the Service for the:3Qtliief Jan uary, of the sufferings of Charing; to those of the Divine Redeemer, was powerfully urged by the speaker. ' "`l•'= ~ The Archbishop of Canterburyireseinane diately after Lord Stanhope, andz*xpressed hits approval of the motion. "ThatiSerihres are -.practically, Obsolete. -wri-dy:=.4a.ker-no part'ofifie Book of Common Prayer to Which the clergy haie'declared their consent, and are bound ,te conform." Lord' Ebury approved of the motion, • of, ceuree, •and with some force showed that, some anomalies almost as great still remained in the Liturgy, which he thought should also be abolished. Whereupon the Bishop of London, , while strongly approving the re moval of the - Extra Services, said that , 4 ,4 it was impossible to enter upon the revision of the Liturgy which the noble Baron advo cated, without touching on many'points of doctrine." ' That is quite true, and,ns you and I think, the Liturgy 'should , have but; one voice, so far as it teaches,. and even, prayers must teach. For example, we may pray that the water of haptism may he act companied by the'' washing - of renenenition and the renewing' of` the 'Holy-Ghost, littt the:Liturgy.pronounces tire child regenerate.: The Bishop ef London is a Lpw-Chnretiman, , but he is a Churchman still, and stands fast by the "compromise`" - spirit that keeps together=in connexion With State ply— such heterogeneous elements. Hear , him on this point: "I believe it to be the safe guard of the Church of _England, that Whits, from tlie very - first, included within its walls' persons of very different religious sentiments,- who yet multi all concur in the fundamen-, tal principles of religion; (?) and T feel assured that such a revision as the noble Lord proposes, would lead one party to ex. pect, by - stereotyping their own opinions, that they might get rid of the opinions of others, which it was equally desirable. to retain in the Church. with themselves." To which their Lordships said, "Hear, and Hear." Coining from such a man—a Lib pral of the Arnold school, Evarigelidal in sentiment and spirit—these are not satis factory words, and indicate the wretched plausibilities by which the status quo is jus, tified.

I have always looked, on this last plea for present corraption nsintolerably disgusting • 'lt was largely On'thitt 'principle that the Free Church movement was (and is) looked upon by many Evangelical Churchmen with dislike.

The Bishop of Oxford—strange to say— was for the abolition of the extra Services. "They were far too political, far too polem ical; far too epigrammatical, (bear, hear,) and contained nothing of that ehaitened de votion which characterized the Liturgy of the Church of England, in those prayers which had come dawn from the earliest times of the Church."
