Arniinianism.
Armituamern is the more common form
of error which works its way into the. Evan
gelical Church. It ought to be :known i and^
resisted. It is a species' of false' dobtrine
which may subsist in connexion, with si'ion;
siderable degree of religious life;.but it is
ever injurious. It , fosters pride, and' leads
to deception. A correspOndent, lover the
signature of "John Smith," commences
this week, a series of brief artielea, in; the
form of-letters, ; ,on the subject. He is
sprightly and sound, and,w,iltedify...._
A Church Symbol.*
One of the first duties of a Ohttreli,;lo:
ward her sister "Ohurchea and toward the
world, is to set forth and publish a Symbol
of her Faith; and toward - herself, /to live.
every member of her body, every convert
and every child born withiu her: pale, to be.
come well instructed in ;that symbol.
Knowledge, and especially a :knowledge, of
first principles, is an indispensablete intelli.
gent membership. This thought is ielick:
nized as primary, and abiding in, the, Pres?
byterian Church. It has hence surprised
us much to find our .people not only very
defective in their attaininento in this matter,
but even illy provided with the Means . of,
information.
To aid in remedying theme defeota j me set

up by fifties and hundred& A.nd now there
is another edition embracing the Shorter .
Catechism, also, and having the Nripturcsl
roofs quoted. In this form we trust there
will be a very great circulation. The' Woad
of God should be distinctly presented ca lwrys,

The price of this edition'we havenot seen

The paper and execution are excellent. the

doubtless, the work will be furnished also in

MUSICAL SCIENCE has achieved a great
success in "the centenary commemoration of
the illustrious Handel. The cg Handel
Festival," hell at the Crystal Palace, bast
month, was a marvelous triumph, both in
the rendering of the music and words—by
singers and an orchestra more powerful than
ever'known—of the hist works'of the great
master, as well as by its pectiniarY results.
A sum of £35,000 was. received, for the
three days performances. On the third day,
twenty-seven thousand persons . were pres
cut. The religious world is somewhat
divided on the propriety of stored things
being thus dealt with. It is a difficulty
with many, that some of the leading singers
tare notoriously -, not Christian ; that sacred
words and names are taken on the lips
notfor the purpose of worship but of musi
cal effect; and that there is a gay, glitter
ing, fashionable throng, who-arc clapping
their hands and evincing their delight at the
exquisite pathos and power, wherewith the
mysterious agonies of Gethsemane, and the
tragedy,-'of Calvary's 'cross, are'' set forth.
Blessed be God 1 the day is coming, when
such music as Handel's shall find its full
interpretation in the consecrated gifts of
Christians, indeed; yea, when Literature,
Science, Art, and . Song, shall lay their
choicest products at the Saviour's feet:
EASTERN SUMMARY.
Boston, and New England-
The City of 'Boston has just been 'presented
with the great historical painting of the Long
Parliament, by Ccipley, a native of the city,
through the mu iificence of President Quineey,
and others. This work is ranked among the first.
class of historical paintings, and is remarkable
for delicate finish, spirited grouping, and life like
vigor. 'Among the characters prominent in this
painting Are; Xing Charles L in the set of de.
Mending the five impeached members: Prince
Rupert : ; Sir Edmund Verney, the King's stand
ard-bearer ;. John Belden, the scholar and patriot,
with earnest and thoughtful countenance; Sir.
Harry Vane; whose name is inseparably. -con
nected with New England ; Edward Hyde, whose
writings as "Earl of •Clarendon," are in all fu
ture time' to be connected - With the history 'of the
times' in Which be lived; and the 'great Oliver
Cromwell. ' This work of =art 'is in excellent eon.

former - freshness of tone.
Messrs. Ltttle & Brown have a complete con
cordance of Milton's Poetical Works, prepared
after the Manner of Mrs.:Mary Cowden tlarke's
Concordance of Bhakespeare. One of its excel

the places where they are found, but also the bnes
or passages in which the words occur.
.It. is
worthy of, note that this work was executed in
India, and printed at Madras. The book is in

numbered ninety-two. For edit:fission to the

twenty were received. The degOee of L.L.D.
was conferred on the Hon- Charles &timer,. Geo.
B. Emerson, the poet H. W. Longfellow, and' the .
Hon. George P. Marsh, of Burlington, Vt. At a
meeting of the Alumni of the Divinity School,
the following resolution concerning Theodore
Parker, was offered by the Rev. Mr. Conway:
Resolved; That the'Association has heard with
deep. regret of the failure, during the past year,
of the health of the Rev. Theodore Parker, and
we hereby extend to him our heartfelt sympathy,
and express-our earnest hope and Prayer forrhis
return, with renewed strength and heart una
bated; to'the Post of
,duty'which be hai so long
idled with ability and zee'.
This resolutinn was warmly opposed by the Rev.
Dr. -Gannett, of • Boston, Rey. : Dr. Barnnp, of
Baltiniore, Re*. Dr. Osgood, of New York, Rev.
Charles E. Ellie, D.D.,,0f Charlestown, and others.
All of , these ; speakers expressed much sympathy
for It. Kr. Parker in his-afflictions, but beggidoleave
to be`excnsedlrom any gunk endorsemeet Of him
as that contemplated
,by the resolution., Their
unanimous opinion was, that- his, preaching was
directly hostile to. faith in the Bible, and that hi
had right to preach frOm it while denying, its
Divine origin. At length the resolution was
withdrawn by the mover.
The:regular addressitefore the Association.was
delivered by the Rev. Dr. Osgood, on the " Sas.
pease of Faith." Fourteen young men graduated
on the present occasion, it this Unitarian Divinity
&hod.- Their performanm, by the way, were
singular'affairs. The speaking was decidedly
poor; and the 'young' men seemed to be very tin..
certain as to what they really did believe. • One
young man conveyed to. the audience the import
ant piece of new information that Athanasins in
vented- the `doctrine CU the Trinity, and that - it
greir' 'out of heathenism, and, was engrafted on
Christianity. Another expressed grave doubts
as to.whether one of the Gospels, and i several of
the EPietles, were written by their reputed an
there.. Another maintained the inspiration ,of
men at this day, as well as in former times, and
that there were many . defects in the record of in.
spiration,,then, as well as now. Another made a
valituit attack on'Dr. Bpshrteli'a late work on the
Natirat and Supernatural. What would the
founders of old have thought, if they had heard
such dissertations in. snekt a place ?
At the late meeting . , of the pvsbytery :,of Lon

reprint of Mach:good, for July. This number
continues the powerful attack on Macaulay's his
tory, begun in ihe previous number. There is
also a scathing notice of the " positivism " of the
recent infidel philosophy of France, und er the
title, " Sentimental Physiology." Dr. Manselni
Bampton Lectures come in for an article. And the
late change of the Ministry in Eaglancl receives
another. Messrs. Leonard, Scott & Co., have full
sets of the Edinburgh Review from its beginning in
1802, and of the London Quarterly from its begin
ning in 1809, for sale on favorable terme, when
their real interest and actual value is taken into
account.
The publishing house of Sheldon ef Co., have

palmiest days.
The Rev. Dr. Whedan, editor of the Methodist
Quarterly Review, has been engaged for several
years in the preparation of a commentary on the
New Testament, somewhat after the plan of
Barnes' Notes. This work is intended especially
for the:use of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
and the interpretation will, as a matter of course,
be accordlag to the views or Divine truth, held by
that denomination. The same author has been
for several years contemplating an elaborate
work on gs The Will," in which the whole et/h
-ied will be re-examined from the Arminian
stand-point.
Mr. Bigelow, one of the editors of the New York

wise of the present condition of the Vatican
•
Library; •
When I passed through the famous library of
the Vatican, the other day. and walked nearly
half a mile without seeing a single book or meet
ing a singl , reader, I must crawls that I felt for
a moment, and for the first time, a desire that the
-preeent controversy of the European, powers
over Italy might not end until the secrets of this
great storehouse of knOwledge - were unlocked,
and made accessible at least to the historian and
the student. At present the Vatican Library
and manuscripts are of scarcely any more value
-to the world than the collection at Alexandria,
which the famous dilemma of Aohmet consigned
to the flames. •

Dr. J. TV Palmer, of this city, has been en
gaged as one. of the regular editors of the Atlan
tic Monthly- He is to reside here, and is eipected
to aid in giving the Atlantic more of a coemopol
,
-itan character, than it has hitherto evinced, and
in freeing it from the merely provincial aspect it
has for the most part exhibited. The Dr. is well
known from his own pictures of life in the far
East and West. With this addition to the edi
torial force, we hope to see an infusion of some
Christian spirit, or at least the removal of the oh
jectiOnable featnres, that have so greatly marred
a magazine of great promise and great ability.
J. W
The Churchman is greatly excited because the
pulpit of an Episcopal Church in lowa, was occu
pied a few Sabbaths ago, upon invitation, by two
Congregational ministers. Great indignation is
expreseed at the very thought of any innovation,
and' he rector and his congregation are berated
most soundly on account of this departure from,
tpificopal usages. The truth is, things in general
are in rather a bad condition, according to the
view taken by the Churchman. It recognizes no
other Church than the Episcopal, and that don't
,wor ' y right, so that Churl* concerns are not in a
very encouraging condition.

The Last of the Seven Sons of the venerable de •
ceased missionary, Dr. Scudder, along with one
of: hie :grandsons, made a public profession of
faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, on the Sabbath

Twenty third- Street. The names of four gen

The date of the Organization of some of the
churches of this metropolis, may , interest some of
our readers. The Reformed Dutch Church, in
trodnced by the founders ,of the city, from Hol
land, was organized in 1620. And the first Eag
.
Belt piermon was preached from a Dutch pulpit',
by Dr. Laidle, ste late as 1764. The Episcopal
Church was introduced soon after the cession of
the city to the English, in 1664. Old Trinity
church, now a corporation of immense wealth
and immense debts, was built in 1696, and rebuilt
in 1788.;:.-The structure then erected was after
wards supplanted by the present imposing edifice-
Next - in order came the Lutheran and Presby
terian' denominations. The Brick church, in
Beekman Street, afterwards known as Dr. Spring's,
mas;built in'l767. Dr. Alexander's church, on
the ciOrner - OfEinh Avenue and Nineteenth Streets,
is the succession of the old church located on
Cedar Street, where Dr. Romyn preached.
The First Baptist church was erected in 1760.
The Methodist denomination in this country, had
its origin in a small assemblage that worshipped
in a rigging loft in Horse and Cart Lane, (now
William Street,) under the supervision of William
Et:diary. The famous John Street church, the
first rldethodist church in this country, was
erected in 1768. In 1809 William Ellery Chan

Surgeone, thp Emit Unitarian sermon ever deli'
