The recent Union govemonts do not meet with
the approbation of all, denominations to the, de
gree . usually supposed. A,- short.'time ago; we
noticed a special oard in the Christian .Adoocate
and Journal, in which Messrs. Carlton and Porter,
the publishing ageilts of the Methodist Episcopal
Book Concern, spoke of ." Union!" efforts's and
".llnion f' books, as hostile, to the interests of
Methodism. And •now an address has been sent
Out to the members of the Baptist. Church, by.
order of 'the 'Baptist Sunday School Convention;
demanding that the distinctive' tenets of the Bap
tist :Church, ' be taught in the , Stmday Solools.
Itimiya that , 4 the truths which are ignored, or
Partially misrepresented • in' genera'. Systems of
instil:Union, are only those which • particulaili
distinguished us as a denomination.' Tiitiiin
mersion only is Christian Baptism, that 'befieveri
only'are gualitled to' 00111111t1i.), that a Church of
Christie coraposed - oily of baptized believers, and
that it is the only botiy,that possesses ecclesias;
Seal authority; such truths as these, and only
such truths, are ignored in our associations with
other denominations in Sunday Schools."
Without any rstference to the ;peckiliar senti
ments enunciated.ai.ove, , it cannot• be denied that
there is altogether too little of instruction not
only :in peculiar denomittational• doctrines,' but
even in the distinguishing doctrines of the Chris
tian,system in many of our Sabbath Schools. It
isthigh time for pastors and Sessions 'to take a ,
deeper interest in Sabbath School instruction,.
and to see to it that the distinctive doctrines of
Presbyterienism be not altogether ignored, and
thlitithe youth of the Chtutch be not 'fed on a
dilated system of doctrine, such as enr'CbUroh
repudiatse. Let the Bible and the Catechism
occupy afar more prominent position in Sabbath

The Number of Churches Closed during the
Sommer is , becoming less every year. The
pastors are allowed the usual respite of from
four to eight weeks, but their pulpits are supplied
by ministers without charge, or licentiates, to
whom a reepeotable oom:.ensation is made by the
churches, not by the pastors. In the meantime,
many of the.pastors do, good service in relieving
tho:olergymen of tha places where they may be

EDITORS well know that

Pl'ins';on your time leing 'enough to give you'
some account of Our Sabbath Sehool, and,
its recent eelebratiOn of the Eighty third
Arinivensary of 'Our" national independence.
We organized a Vition Sabbath Soho' here
on the Ist of May. There were'then some
fourteen or fifteen scholars, and six teachers
We were, however, encouraged, as these
the 'work. Those of . you who'have always
Hied in cities, and been need 'to seeing so
many happy faces on a Sabbath morning
congregated the capacity of , a Sabbath
Sohool, will perhaps wonder at the state of
thinga here. But,friends, cease to speculate
on the indifference of Western people, and
especially of us " Border Ruffians," in refer
ence to all that is good; for we now have Mine'
fifti-nine or Bitty scholars and seven teaeliers
all attending regularlY, and cheering' the
hearts of God's people by their praiseworthy .
condiet. fanoy - adine of our city' ant:lran
could learn a lemon of meekneis and &co
nlict frOm'' these ' Western little ones. The
parents and'friends are becoming interested
Witte matter, and occasionally drop in to
cheer their little ones fly 'theft. presenne. •
The young men of 'bin place begin' to take.
an interestin it, and in the course oftwiroe
three Sabbaths a 13ib1e. , gaze will be formed
for their benefit:. I liesre'ra Bible Class of
young ladies, who meet with meeyeri.Sah.,
bath afternoon, to study God's Holy Word.
From three, the s , number haeinereased
twelve.
In. Order to encourage the children, we
got up a 'celebration for their beneta. Etas
class had its own banner, with some suitable
Motto inseribed. We marched to the Fair
g -l iOrinde, and after listem'ng to the reading
of ,tke, Decla ration , and three speeches, each
followed by 'a song from the "Forest City
Glee Club, we erected a temporary table,
and had a real nine dinner, which the ehil
dren all e e emed 'abjcir .: `. They ' 'played
ironed for some time, and
- then wended
their way homeward tired, hutd
P ease •
The majority of them had never attended
aqthing of the 'kind, and 'who knows hut
the seed of patriotism was then buried in
roariYa bosom, which shall finally yield a
glorious increase. I trust that they may all
be benefited, by it, and, that many of those
ivho,yvere present may early learn to lave

hope for hrighidi days. 'We earitesiltSl4

A Presbyterian Colony.
iiiiMber of respectable*Preabyterian families,
desiroinr or emigrating to the Western country,
(lowa, Missouri, or Kansas,) invite the co-opera
tion of other, families : a nd individuals of similar
views, carrying out 'a
rational and practicable
plait of concert emigration-, with a view to con
stitute, in a new Settlement, a well ordered cam
munity. Great, inconveniences, much hardship,
and many privations social and religious, result
from the; usual meth ods of midge ation and settle
ment: Hiindreds of families are scattered here
and' there throughout the West;without schools,
withput Church privileges, and without the full
advantages of good neighborhood, who, by proper
concert, might have concentrated in more compact
and honiogenectue communities so as to forestal
and, avoid those privations, an d at he same time
secure, in a higher degree, all the usual objects
of emigration.
It is, therefore, seriously prtiposed to inaugurate
a method that, may forestal a state of things that
is acknowledged ) to be evil. No , Utopian scheme
is, proposed. No community of lands or of goods,
bat simply an agreement on' the part of a sat
oient number of families and individuals, com
prising .he various callings and employments, to
join in purchasing and settling a town and town
ship,, and there establishing a congregation of the
Lord, and a well ordered community. The out-
Hoeft and details of the plea will be sent, in
printed circular, to any person applying for it,
and-enclosing a letter stamp. .
But this plan will or course be subject to modi
fication, by a majority of the actual emigration,
at-their first Meeting. Some of the-sdvantages,
which it is believed*ill result from this plan of
emigration are'as follows:
1. A well appointed community, and a complete
civilization, the appliances and conveni
ences thereof, early secured;. much of which are
long wanting, in hap-hazard settlements of the
West '
7 2. A 'community homogeneous in social and
religions views and sympathies, and consequently
.able at once to maintain the Church and good

3.; kower and influence for good, upon sur
rounding popilationi. One hundred families,
united in one community, can 'be much more effi
cient for good, both amongst themselves and
abroad, than the same or a much larger number
seattered,in isolated and feeble groups.

4. Upon the usual plan of emigration, the change
of, habits of life, and the lack of the usual sp
(
&alms of comfort and health, almost always re
stain sickness and Often in death. Upon this
plan most of the diseaseproducing inconveniences
can be avoided.
A better investment of funds in real estate
and other . property, and a better reward of labor
and enterprine. such: a settlement and its
vicinity, real estate would at once become valu
able ; whilst profitable employment would be se
cured to_the laborer in every call'ng.
