A. Word to Presbyteries.
I'ref•hyteries are the fountr,ios of power in
Church, and their uctiou iu regard to
anv question •of ecclesiamical policy which
may arise, the proper exponent of the
mind of the Church. Now, as the policy
of our roarde, in the employment of -Score
thries and scents is the 4ollectiou and die
hursernent of money for the great purposes
o f their creation, has become the suojeet of
public attention and discussion in at least two
of our leading religious journals, would it not
behest For the Presbyteries, attheir approaoh
ing Fall meetings, to give some suitable ex
pression of their views on this matter, and
especially in regard to the Associate Secre
taryship in the Board of Domestic Missions,
to which the 'General Assembly called the
attention of the Board, last Spring ? Let
their expression, whatever it may be, in re
gard to the particular question, be calm,
courteous, dignified, and firm, as becometh
men professing godliness, and having the true
honor and usefulness of our Boards,, and, in
general, the best interests of the Church,
deeply at heart. And, moreover, let the old,
but wise and significant maxim have its just
influence, in view of all encroachments of
power, " Obsta
It might be well, also, to remember that
it is not open, fair, and manly discussion, in
a Christian spirit, of the concerns of our.
Boards, that is so likely to cripple the
Church in her operations, by drying up the
resources of Christian benevolence, as the ore.
ation of needless and expensive Aces in our
Boards, and the bestowing of large salaries
on mere place-men. Should the Presbyte
ries speak their mind- on this subject, it
might , be a guide to further action in our
Boards, and a salutary lesson to the Church's
servants in all coming time.

Meetings of Presbytery . and Synod.
DEAR BROTHER :--Twenty four years ago,
the following letter was published in the
Christian Advocate. Many of the brethren
thought it did good. The meeting of the .
Pittsburgh Synod, that Fall, was one of the
most precious , it ever enjoyed. I send the
letter to be published again, if you think
beet. Yours, truly, J.
"Dear Brather:—A few days since, I
received a letter from a beloved brother,
reproving me, and himself too, for our un
profitable behavior at the meetings of Pres.
bytery, Synod, &a. This reproof I feel to
be just, and desire to be benefited by it.,
Thinking it may not be•ueeleas, I have eon.
eluded to send out a general reproof on this
subject, to all whom it may concern.
“The meetings of these Judicatories are
intended to promote the spiritual welfare of
the Church. Whatever will advance this
object, fairly (dahlia their attention.. And
what so well calculated to promote the in
terests of the Church at large, as a revival
of piety among her ministers and , elders ?
Does it not properlybelong to Presbyteries
and Synods, to do what they can to secure
this revival.? Getterally, our meetings are
seasons of mere business, and often a very
dry, unpleasant business. They tend rather
to chill, than to warm the affections. And
frequently ,this is their actual influence.
Very seldom do our ministers seem to be
any more lively, or devoted, or zealous, after
these meetings, than before. One great
reason of this is, that , while we are togethei
we pay but little attention to religious im
provement. We have but few meetings
that are strictly religions; in some Presby
teries, none at all. In others, as well as in
Synod, only part of a day is devoted to re
ligious exercises. And who, that has at
tended our morning prayer-meetings and
our half day of religious duties at prayer--meetings,
has not mourned to see the slender number,
and the - want of life, hn such occasions?
What can be the causes, and what may be
the remedy, of this evil ? Among the
causes, the following have occurred , to my
mind,:
"1. We do not go to these meetings with
proper designs. We go merely because we
are bound to do so, intending to spend the
tedious time with as gOod a grace as poisible.
We go to discharge out duty as members of
a Church Court, or buisiness meeting. We
do not think of using every possible means'
to advance the spiritual interests of the
Church. We do .not design to be engaged
much in truly religious exercises. We do
not expect to benefit our brethren, nor our
brethren to benefit us. We do not expect
to be made better, to be quickened or re.
vived. Is it any wonder that we come home
as we went, .or ,perhaps worse?
" 2. At these meetings we are generally too
much /urged. We go to them, intending
to be home at a certain time ; and then our
whole concern is to hurry through the bus
inees by tbat,appointed time. In this way
some are led -to oppose spending a day, or
even half a day, in" religions duties. In
deed, this spirit of impatience is so manifest,
That our Moderators are compelled to..out
short their opening and closing prayers.
«8. We indulge too much in a spirit - of .
levity. Affected solemnity, I despise. But
there is a gravity and seriousness, which
ministers and elders ought always to mani
fest. But I am sorry to say, that the re
verse of this is sometimes witnessed at Pres
byteries and Synods. Oar conversation,
though not often indelicate, is rather light
and trifling.--dt is, to say the least, unprofit,
able. Instead of telling each other our die
couragements and difficulties, oar hopes and
sueoesses, our conversation is made up of an
' eedote, and every common-place matter,
which seems more designed to create a
laugh, than to do good. We do not pray
much together. We do not talk much to
gether about the state of piety in our own
souls, or , in our several congregations. We
do not help 'cash other forward much in the
Divine life, but rather retard 'each other's
progress. Our conduct in- these particulars
injures our usefulness in the families where
we lodge, and effectually hinders our mutual
improvement.
"If these be a few of the reasobe why the
meetings of our Church Judicatories are so
little profitable to their members, the remedy ,
is easily seen. We must reform. We must ,
go to these meetings desiring to receive
spiritual benefit. . Let us go, intending to
do good end get good. Let us go, I bad
almost said, determined to be blessed. Let
us prepare for these meetings by earnest
prayer;and let us,go to' them, resolved, not
to be ome on a certain day, but to remain as
long as the interests of the Church may re•
quire. Let us avoid all levity, all idle, tri
fling conversation. Let us engage much in
religious exercises ) both in private, and all
united. Let it be our great object 'to pro
mote our personal piety, to secure a revival
of religion in our own souls.
" That these meetings might be, and ought
to be, employed in this way, I have no
doubt. If our ministers and elders sbould
come home from every meeting of Presby
tery and Synod with their hearts rearmed;
their faith strengthed, their zeal enlivened,
their whole souls revived, what a blueing it
would be to the churches ! The time for
these meetings will soon be here, and 04
look forward to them with deep interest.
Shall they be dry and hardening, as ton
often heretofore? Or shall they be cheering
and blessed in their influence?
"I, the most unworthy and the most con
demned by these remarks, would affec•
tionately urge my brethren solemnly to con
sider this subjeot. This is an intensely sol
emn time.. While the Spirit of the Lord is
wonderfully poured out in some parts of
the land, from others it is sadly withheld.
This is mournfully true in regard to much
of this section of the Church. The state' of
piety is lamentably low. low earnestly
ought all to pour forth the prayer, 'Revive
thy work, 0 Lord !' Where may we ex
pect a revival of religion to commence, but
among God's people ? And might it not,
ought it not, to begin among the ministers
and elders of the Church ? And should
not the meetings of our Church Courts be
employed for accomplishing this object? If
our meetings this Fall should be blessed in
this way, and a pure and powerful revival
of genuine religion should spread through
this whole region, how precious and exten
sive would be its influence 1 We are some
what noted for our soundness in the faith.
But it is said our orthodoxy has no living
piety along with it Let us cast off this re
proach, and stop the mouths of gainsayer's
by seeking the outpouring of Gad's Spirit,
and by laboring, both privately in our dif
ferent spheres, and when collected together
in our meetings, to promote a mighty and
glorious revival of God's work.

Trade of Philadelphia.
A writer in the Ledger goes largely into the
statistics of the Foreign Trade, of -our principal
cities, for the last thirty-eeven years. New York
stands, first, having about seven times that of
Philadelphia, and Boston is second, having about
the double of. Philadelphia. Philadelphia , ranks
third, then New Orleans, Baltimore, Charleston.
The foreign trade- of - Philadelphia is now, not
equal to what it was, thirty-seven years ago.
In response,. the editors of the Ledger say
" The facts' presented' in• the communication
probably tell the:truth as far as they go, but they
do not tell the whole truth. A oity may be rich
and prosperous without foreign commerce, as our
own city proves, for it is rapidly advancing by
its own industry. A nation also may thrive and
be prosperous without any external trade. Both
may be great consumers as well as great pro
ducers,
and though the custom house entries may
be small, yet the ability to supply, their own
wants cheaply, without the necessity of exchang
ing their productions with their neighbors, would
certainly not imply a less profitable employment
of their industry, or less -general prosperity.
Philadelphia is a great producer. Her manu
facturers alone,amount to an annual production
of one hundred and seventy-one millions of dol
lars in value. The trade which arises from this
vast production does not show on the custom
house books of the port, but the evidences of , it
are seen all around, in the growth of the-city, the
extent of the population, and the large edifices
erected in every quarter to facilitate the industrial
operations-which produce this wealth. The fact
that New York has a greater foreign commerce
than Philadelphia, does not prove that Philadel
phia disposes of less foreign merchandise, or that
her domestic business is hiss. She ohooses to
make use of the port of New York for conve
nience, as Other internal cities do, but the im
portations through that city intended for the mar
ket of Philadelphia, amount annually to nearly
forty millions of-dollars. This helps to swell the
figures at the custom house of New York, but the
real profits of that amen= of trade belong to
Philadelphia exclusively."

death, and departed with bright hopes of a bliss
ful immortality. - Although she. was for nine
months previous to her departure entirely` con

Sha let her light shine. She was Inimble,gentle,
kind, affectionate, cheerful, hopeful, faithful.
She loved God's people, hie Word; his sanetuaiy.
Her house was one of prayer and praise. She
left behind, her a family of six sons and daugh
ters, all of whom, together with are
members of the Presbyterian Church, and giving
good evidence of , genuine faith., on the evening
of her death, and but a short time before it oc
curred, Mrs. M'Connell seemed cheerful and
well. About 8 o''cloek she spoke to her family,
of retiring soon, as preaching would be, at an
early. lour on the coming Sabbath, (she , lived at
a considerable distance from the church,) and
added that she herself Withed to attend. Doubt
less she did attend the placa'of. worship lin that
Sabbath, but it was in the upper sanctuary; for
before the Sabbath had begun , on earth, she, as
we confidently believe, had begun " it Sabbath
that shall never end." C.

children, emigrated to Annatreng County. 'Being

called to lake' an'importsuit`Part in mil- and po'
litical interests. He was remarkably cheerful,
even to the last years of his life, and his family
circle was always pleasant to connexions and
strangers. He had a distinct recollection of the
events of the Revolution, and dwelt with pleasure
on the active part his father took in the eventful
transactions of that day. Though always free to
express his feelings on the subject of religion, it
was not until the Summer of 1848 that he saw
his way clear to connect himself with the Church.
He then, with his wife, joined the Presbyterian
church of Leechburg. He wys permitted to en
joy herwociety in this relation but a short time ;
she died in the Fall of '47, leaving good evidence
that she was prepared for the change. From the
time of his connexion with the church, he was
inclined to speak of religion as a matter of expe
rience, and the distinct source of his reliance, as
death approached, could not be mistaken.
