'BOitietnan, - on '" Chribt ian Union," in which he sets forth ifie-true doctrine on this subject, points out the diffi culties in the way of a greater degree of visible unity, ands shows the position occu pied by our own Church With respect to other detoMinations. From the'rextraets here ,, given,lit' will'bti apparent to all culpable of forming a miffed opinion on the liubj'eet, that whatev'er denom inations may be an obstadle to a greater out- ward unity in the Church, our branch of the Presbyterian Church is UotOne of th`em. " We need not, dieguiseihe faotrthat one of the chief obstructions to outward unity lies in the prevalence, in some branchen of the Church of exclusive views on certain important topics. And if there be a sincere desire to promote Christian Union, the churches must leak the question in timface fairly and frankly, whether Chute views can be modified. There can, e. g., be no proper external unity unldAtttlie , Churchee reco#nv 4 ze the validity of each other's ministry and ordinances. There can •be-Ito proper unity while 'one part of the 'household of 'faith decline to receive another part of therlhouse. hold as guests at the Lord's lable.• There can be no proper unity, While some denomi , nations refuse all fraternal intercourse with other denominations which do not see fit to sing the Same Psalms with th i erdeelves are hindrances to in outward and 'palpable union, too contriloubus to he overlooked, and too formidable 'to be contemned. " It is no relief to say, that the several sects here intended' , art •conshientlious , in maintaining their respective• sentiments on these points. We neither ask nor expect them,to repudiate these peculiarities, until convinced that it is their - duty to do eo. But it is certain that until they'are put away, the Church Can never attain that visible unity for which so minygheltits sire eighing. There may be a partialnnion in devoeional exercises and in-philarithropie labors. But there can be no complete,olanifeeted, unity of the Spirit among all who love the Sa l i - viour. Never will this spectacle bless the world, until the evangelical Churches, come closer together as Churches, and break the bread of -thki " Will it be deenned'offeneikre,if in giving utterance to these iseritiniiiiifs, pidliftitH, am sure, by no - inky seeterfah feeling, I offer a 'passing tribute <to that great and powerful Church, made greatlind ptiwerful only by the bleasing of , her Lorii—td 'Which it is our priiilege to belong.

Her Christian.love scorns the barriers of sectarian exclusive ness, and comprehends in its warm embrace all of whatever name who love her Lord. And it is the constant prayer of those who know her best and love her moat, that she may be more and more imbued with that divine charity which will for ever surround like an atmosphere the Church, triumphant. kf I am most anxious not to be misunder= stood on thispoint. lam far from arrogating for the Presbyterian Church, a pre•eminence in either the gifts or the graces of the Spirit., I do not challenge for her a superiority to the other churches, in intelligence, in! !spirituality, or in useful labers. I rim"free to admit—it is one of the common places of our pulpits' and our prayer me.etings—that she is juetly chargeable with a pride, a worldliness, and an inefficiency, which calls for deep humiliation before God. If .any choose to allege, that in - her jealous concern for the cause of truth andtrighteciusness, her zeal has not in every instance been sufficient ly tempered with meekness and ability, it will not be disputed. It may be' that she has sometimes been too tenacious of her own rights; and that she has failed in her duty to her sister Churches. But when everything has been conceded on these points, which candor and fair dealing can demand, it will still remain true, than the principles she holds on this subject, in coma goon with the Methodist and Congregational bodies, and,a large part of the entire family of Presbyterian churches at home and abroad, are in harmony with the spirit of the text. Neither in her Standards, nor in the spirit which pervades her ministrations, is there any bar to her fellowship with her sister Churches. ,:• Prudential considerations may affect, more or: less, the question of an interchange of pulpits with them ; but she cordially recognizeellheir ordinances. She welcomes them, not to c her table, but to her LORD'S table, whenever it is spread for her own children. She is` to unite with thud in all judicious and SCriptural plans for promoting the common' salvation. She is from the heart, practically, not in theory merely,' the friend of Chrietiatl Union."

JOHN SMITH, A PRESIIVTE RIAN MINISTER, TO HIS BROTHER, THE REV. PETER SMITH, A METHODIST PREACHER. LETTER .1111 DEAR BROTHER :--The Rev. John Jones is, by the appointment • of Conference, one' of my clerical neighbors. With agreeable manners, he seems to possess some ,good qualities of mind and heart. His talents, however, he himself appears to think, shine to the best advantage in the line of edntro versy, and Whenever this brother feels like exercising himself at sharp shooting, Cat vinism is commonly the chosen mark. Many an arrow dipped in gall,. he :lets fly on such. °cessions, against electiOniAtgainst pre destination; against the perseverance of 'the saints, against the Divine Sovereignty; but' the strongest bow.is bent, the bitterest arrow is adjusted, the deadliest aim is directed against "the horrible doctrine of infant damnation." If the Rey. Mr.jones 'stood alone in this Matter, if he were the' only coo among his, brethren that resorted to such tricks, his name would not appear , at the head of this letter. He is, however, only one of many. Such tricks are, it is - to be feared, but too well known to the majority of Arminian preachers. When Unitarians or Universalista strive to excite odium against our doctrines, wicked as are their aims, thero is at least no inconsistencY in their wickedness. They are known and recog. nixed es enemies -of the Cross of-Christ.' The doctrines of redemption are to them doctrines , of humbug. Even the salvation' of adulte , le their creeds requires little or roe grace, the salvation of infants absolutely' none at all.

If fault is found at all, it is in soft and honeyed phrase;• while neither' Webster nor Worcester can furnish- all the' adje'otivee and nouns set in- array /against Calvinists for believing tkat infants; like adults, are saved only by the sovereign user. ay of God. Thirsecret sympathy with the enemies , of grace, and this open vitupeft tion of the advocates of grace, has ;long been a re.proich to the Methedist Episcopate ministry. A Universalist champion setting out to < attack the 'Calvinistic doctrine of infant salvation, has hut to borrow the logic' and rhetoric•of the oneareet• Methodist pul pit. Or if he desires to see- htiw his eenti-' ment - a on this point look i.et7. print, the writ Inge of the Rev. Peter Uartwright, or'ofthel Rev. -Dr. R. S. Foster, will furnish richiand , *istrikinopeohnens. A few eveningaago, Mr.-Jones tfnd I met at the table of a-common friend, , where the ,convereation turned on the !salvation of in fants. As Mi. Hill,--our host, though a classileader, was not aware of the ludo's:isle tendes of the Arminian oreed, , l propelled to Mr. Jones, that be should favor us with his views on the .point - in dispute. To this he readily 'agreed,- and began thus : " I be lievefor rather, I know "that all infants are saVerethrough till* atonement of Christ, becense • it wouldise , clearly , unjust that.they ' should be lost.

And , did you not last Sabbath in refuting Calvinism, assert that we had no more to do-with Adam's sin than the man in the nsoorr?" " Have I not told you," re joined Mr. lonia, '"that Christ died for the salvation of infants'?" " I know, you but let us suppose, with Mr.: SMith, that Christ had not died; Whit then ?" . Brit Christ did die," was the sharp rejoinder. This reply, or perhaps the tone in which it was utteredi seemed to satisfy our host; but it did not• satisfy' me. " The insionsistermies in the Arminian creed, said' I, never ap peered so striking to my`mind as they do this evening."

They convince no one, but rather , serve to injure ~ even a good cause... Besides, they expose their author to a Severe, retort, under certain cir cumstances For example, in 44 Pressly on Psalmody," p. 178, I read : "To call the, Divine songs in' this version, Rouse's Psalms,' is to evince . gross 'fornorance, or something worse." Bet if this be so,. then' "the Commission of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland" must be' 4' ignorant .or something worse;'' for in April, 1,648, they designated " the ministers of Edinburgh, or, any of them,• to examine the correction of the brethren appointed to revise Rouse's Psalms, and. to confer," &e.

For the Presbyteitiiii Banner and AdToorite. As 'ReViettiti.teiiieived. MESSRS. EDITORS.:—In your issue of February 4th, you notice " the new Quar• terly " of the United Presbyterian Church, containing a "Reviet of Letters on Psalm. ody," by John `I. Pressly, D: D.. -As the " 'Letters " were highly approved by die tinguishe,d brethren, and recorimended by. the Synod of Pittsburgh to the attention of all their pastors and churches, and as I knew it to be the desire of the author, often ex pressed, to see a calm, courteous review, of his book, it was natural to wish to know what could be said on that aide of thr, goes tion. Having read the Review,,l offer yob a few strietures-on certain of its,features. 4.` says the - Reviewer, "suppose,that Mr. Annan hair accomplished all that he has attempted to prove, it, would amount only to this, that viewed in the light of ~a cor redt and faithful `VersiOn; our preeeneinet rieal version '(Rouse) is in some reiiPtiets imperfect." This is a great mistake.; Let us see what Mr. A. has " attempted to prove : " (1.) That neither Rouse; ndr the previous Versification of Sternhold and Hopkins, nor the earliest Psaltuody of, the Scottish martyrs, Wishart and•others, (in the times of John Knox)—none of these were forined on the principle of the Reviewer and his,,breth ren, viz : "an exclusive inspired psalmody ;" but were all, without exception, viewed and adopted as "paraphrases." Now, if Mr. A. 44 has Proved " this, (and we bdlieve he , has fully proved it,) has this " nothihg to do with the meritsofthe question ?" Does he not thus prove what they call their princi ple of " inspired Psalmody," to be mere modern invention of their own, which their sect has set up, Without authority or precedent from our common fore.fathers? Who, then, are the "innovators?" (2.) Mr. A. has attempted to " (we think he has proved,) that while the Reviewer and his - brethren denounce sister Churches as Orme who use , " hurnan com position," they are habitually f doing the same thing. And has this nothing do with the subject? What is their profession of a correct and faithful version " worth, if they habitually trample it under foot ? Mr. A. has attempted to prove (we may say he has proved,) that whilst the claims that he and his brethren, sing "the word of God," "a correct and faithful trans lation," " the sacred songs of the Book-of Psalms," " sacred songs, of which God is the author," "songs composed heaven," ":in spired songer--while t,her:Reviewor anli his bretliiiiibold)y . arisert all this, it is proved by the 'best anthority, even that of , the SOottish General Aisetntil", std `'by care ul exabin'ationiof 'gouge; thltyttiese . brethren 'do`not Sing 'the" ligorr'd'e6bfesmfithe Bible," b'ut 'only a'"lparaplaiiie " bfi iiiiny' of those songs i It is further lotriiticr by `Mt' A.'flist ' they gg lay aside l's aselses'ittlfellOth 'verse of Ps.

Let it be said of you by the after chroniclers of these times, " There were giants in those days." Be a model chureli, and a model community., Set out in the New Year with an aim as high as that. There is nothing to hinder your being au example to all; sound in, doctrine, orderly in worship, blameless in life,' Strong in faith, fervent' in Lve, and abounding in labors—the history of your church expreased by that sentence of Paul, " Faith, working by love." In the words of Pant to Timothy, Lwoull6 say to you,. as my counsel for the year we haye entered, " Be thou an example' of the believers, in word,, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity " This is my counsel to you,:collecnvely. And as for him that is "a wise man, and endued with Inowledge among you," let me say to him, individually, in the words of James the Just, , ',cLet him show, out of a good conversation, his works in meekness of wisdom." And` to let me say, seeing that the world is watching you; -surrounded as , you are with a great cloud of wityggiiii, ' $$ Walk in wisdom coward them that dare without, redeeming the time." And thus walking; if:God per mit you to come to the close of this year, to erect your "stone of help," m.y it be to ineelibe upon it with' truthful gladness, "Hitherto bath the Lord helped no." Happy New Year when such a "stone of help " is , reared And happy he, and happy the church, which is permitted to sit down under the shadows of such a mon umental 6 $ Ebenezer," commemorative of God's mercy and - truth manifeetedlo him and them every morning end veining'watch of the three hundred and sixty five days which have rolled away. What "stones of help" were raised on these American shores, with singing and tears of joy, commemora tive of . God's mercy and truth to these American churches in the years 1857, 8 And Vlisit a " Stone of help" will go up, with shouting, in Ireland, and Scotland, and Wales, commemorative-of God's mercy and faithfulness to those British churches in 1559. And shall we not again, on these Weeteiii stiffest, search the mountains' for some taller stone, to commemorate God's richer naFroy to-us for this year 1860 ? May God grant it, in his goodness! And now, brethren, as I atop my pen, the prayer of thy heart for Zion is " Peace be within thy walla, and,prosperity within thy palaces. For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now , eay,s peace be , within thee." And to you I will say, " fray for the peace of Jerusalem ; they Shall prosper that love thee." H. the Presbyterian Benner end Advocate The Last Thnisday. The:following are a few of the many rea 'cone why the list Thursday in Fibinary should - be 'cibiterved, for the purpoaes indi 'catedin =the call of the General Assembly : 1-.)The abject is on% of the meettimport a.nt that can engage the thoughts, prayers, and labors of the Church.

Thus our fatlieis - thihight and aeted, and thus we pro fesiPto believe And it will be an evil day when Zion turns away her heart, and re strains prayer on behalf of this noble cause. 2. There should be a time set apart for this pa,rticalai subject. Let "us look our duty in 'the Lice Then it Will not be crowded out aid jostled aside. There will be a , better• knowledge and Appreciation of the subject, if we take - a:rime t&think, and fehl;arld CAI Oar intereat *ill . beinereaeted, our anal la the Cantlerevit'red; and oar prayers, be wore frequent and fervent. B. The arrangement willatiffod pastors a favorable opportunity for instructing their teople -concerning - their interest and duty in this subject. That a lamentable degree of ignorance and indifference exists in rela tion to it, cannot be doubted. That it should 'he` Other*irre all admit. But when, and V 4 411E41 it vier Ice otherwise, until our churches are more 'fully-instructed on - the great subject of, Christian Education? Just in proportion as they know more about a matter of such moment, they will fell more, give wore, and pray more. Greafgond Might be done, if ministers would givellnotice thhir people of - the coming occasion, and preach to them on " Christian, Education;"" A Call to the Gospel Ministry.;" or on'some other kindred topic. 4. By obserting a day of special prayer, Christians act• in conoerti taking the Saviour at his word , "That if we agree .as touch ing anything that we shall ask of him, he will dolt." It is proposedftat - we agree in asking hitn, - on that dayr,tb 'potir otit his , Spirit - on the Schools both - in Christian and in heathen lands. This will please the Saviour who laces to bless the young. We are sure that he will graciouhly - hear and answer our united prayers on this behalf.
