Rouse's Viviion of ih'e Psalms of David

New Missionaries ender,
The missionary Work, in foreign lands, is
immense. Tens tbousands, of laborers
would be required to motto. the field. To
~obtain, and sustain, them is, ,to the. Christian
tbuich at present , utterly impracticable.
,And yet they can, in the progress of ; tithe,
be bad. s , We lend out a few—send out
manyr-to plant and nurture. We progress,
'With each generation. Soon, there will be
natiireibiborers, -in rich abundamie, to do all'

which professes to•contain a -series' of com
munications from Dr. Cuyler, through a
sparctunlistic medium, in wh~oh he is Made

which he,so strongly expepted eteinal
to pleat Christianity upon the ',kW' plain
with Paganism and Mohammedanisin, only
a• little in advance, and to ascribe union and
-fellowahip in heaven to those who, while.on
earth, were most opposite in character and
pursuits. The whole contents, and the en
tire ‘lipirit of the publication, is , most -re
volting to 81146 love and revere the Mem
ory of the, sainted dead, and meets with the
deepest denunciation from all good and
truthful men. 'The-design undoubtedly was
to entrap' the 'unwary and deceive the
'thoughtless. But,, the' object too trans-
i
parent, and the cruelty inflicted on surviving
relitives and friends is , too great, to secure
„attention or respect to this ill-timed emana
tion, trent a party'ready to 'seize' upon any .
means for keeping themselves .before

Bat among, the most interesting; and

meetiiigs now in .progress, are, the 'One's held
,by ,the churches, of oar New School breth
ren on T es 114. , ifternoons, and by the .Old ,
School on Thriniday niternoons. The ' , thing
is done in this way : sThe churches meet to- '
gether in one plaiie, going • : roucd from
church. to church in regular rotation,._ the,
pastor of each church presiding' where the
meeting is held. The exercises consist Of
prayer, singing, reading the' Scriptures; and'
of the consideration of particular topics
• •
connected with .revivals, religious experi
ones, the reading and: study of the Bible,.
and the duty and means-of Christian activi
ty 'and usefulness. The particular, topic for
each meeting is selected at the . previous
meeting, so that opportunity is given for
preparatory thought and reflection, and thus
a mere desultory 'conversation, or objectless
exhortation, is avoided. These meetings are
eiridently increasing; in Interest and efficien
oy,; ; pastors, elders, members, and others, at
tend them with,the expectation of much ben
efit, and BOA is believed to have been the re
sult already. The advantages of these meet
'legs, in many ways, are so obvious to all, that
it is unnecessary to enlarge upon them. But
we may be 'allowed to suggest if similar
meetings might not be held by the Presby
terian churches of Pittsburgh 'and other
places, for an hour or more on some after
noon of each week. Ministers, elders, and ,
