REY. JOSEPH PENNEY, D.D.
This venerable minister of Christ, died
at Rochester, N. Y., on the 22d of Febru...
ary. About forty years ago, he took up
his residence in that place, as pastor of the
first Presbyterian church, which he served
- with great, success, for ten or twelve years.
Afterwards he removed to Northampton,
Mass., and at length became president of
Hamilton College. At a later period, he
removed to Michigan, 'where he remained
until, failing health compelled him to retire s
from the active duties of the ministry: -
His life was long, laborious, and useful.
SABBATH SCHOWVISIT OR.
Our readers will learn from an advertise
ment in another column, that the Board of
Publication will commence the issue of. a
New Series of the 13'esbyterian Sabbath.
School Visitor, on the first of May. It
will be changed from a semi-monthly to a
monthly, but .enlarged, upon a finer and
costlier paper, with new, larger, and clearer
type, and with improved embellishments.
At the same time the price is considerably
lessened. We are „glad to know of this
projected improvement, - and trust that the
Visitor will have a greatly increased circu
lation. Let the ministers, elders, and' su
perintendents and teachers of our Sabbath
schools, take the matter in hand, and it
will soon be accomplished.
RETRODIST AFFAIRS.
Our brethren of the Methodist Episco
pal Church; have lately held their Annual
Conferences. They had before them, two
agitating questions; one, the alteration
of the Discipline on the subject of Slav
ery, and the. other, whether there shall
be a Lay representation in their CounciW.
These matters are pressed the more, just
now, by their ndvocates,. because of the
Quadrennial Conference, which meets this
Spring, and which hiu3 power in the prem
ises.
The Pittsburgh Conference, was in ses
sion last week, at Blairsville, Pa. Reports
represent the assemblage as being large
and harmonious. The usual routine of bu
siness, indicates a state of prosperity.
On the subject of Slavery, a proposition
had gone out from , the North, that the , Dis
cipline shall be so changed as to exclude
Slaveholders from communion. The Con
ference at Blairsville, after a long discus
sion, adopted the following :
Resolved,' That it is the sense of this Con
ference, that, in spirit and design, the Rule
prohibits the holding, on the same condi
tion that it Riohibits the buying' and selling
of human beings, viz.: "with an intention
to enslave them."
Resolved, That the General 'Conference,
to meet at Buffalo, May Ist, be requested
to insert this interpretation , of the Rule,
either as a. foot note to the rule or in the
chapter on Slivery.
We are not certain that we perceive the
"sense" of this action. The Book now
forbids tho - buying or selling of Imamn be
ings," with the intention to enslave them."
This' is intelligible. It implies that the
human beings are now free men, and are
to be neither: bought nor sold into Slavery.
But to forbid the holding of _duxes "with
the intention to enslave theia," seems like a
strange combination of terms. Stich are
already in bonds. If our brethren meant
to forbid kidnapping, that their Book al
ready does. If they would forbid the
transfer
,of.an ownership of slaves, or for
the holding any longer of human be
ings in Slavery, it would be easy to say so,
plainly. We shall suppose, however, that
this is their meaning, thoucrh they were re
luctant to use the direct language.
Lay representation is not a favorite idea
in the Pittsburgh Conference. Ministers
and churches, generally, are satisfied with
a system which has been proved so very
efficient. •
The Book Concern, in Cincinnati, re
ports a, net 'gain, for the year, of $22,375.
RE-CONVERBION.
A Correspondent has doubts about the
doctrinal Correctness of an article which we
published, some weeks ago, relative ;to bap
tism. It was an interview between a young
man S and his pastor. The objection is, a .
supposed intimation that the young man*
was twice. "hopefully Conierted.". The
critic has not read the article di we'do ; but
we may - note, that re-conversion is not an
un-Seriptural doctrine. Peter was doubt—
less a converted man when he accepted the
call of- Jesus and-folloWed him But after
wards, on the night, of Peter's mournful,
defection, Christ said to him, " When thou
art converted, strengthen thy brethren.".
He was converted -"anew,. and speedily he
turned with sorrow from his sin ; turned to
Jesus. .This was a second, and a truly
hopeful conversion.
The Apostle James says : " Brethren, if
any of you do err from the truth, and one
convert him," km Here is 'a brothel., and
of course a converted man, erring from the
truth, andlis re-conversion is contempla
ted.
" Conversion "-is a turning from Edn,un
to holiness; and as often as'ff#ol4fiii i 4
from the right way, he needs it; and, alas,
many Christians do thus decline. And we
have reason to believe that God, in his
great mercy, does grant repentance, a re=
ism, and a restoration. The backslider is
cualled r and the wanderer brought back.
The inquirer for an " explanation," must
note the difference between regeneration.
and conversion. 3 The former I 8 never re
peated. There is no need that it should
be. He that is truly born of God, has
t" eternal life."
LIVING EPISTLES.
When a Chinaman conies to our land,
we may regard him as an epistle., He
speaks the language of China. He exhib
its-the peculiarities of thought, the spirit
and sentiment of China. He exemplifies
the manners and customs of China. A
:colony of these people 'would afford the
surest possible means of learning what are
Chinese principles and condUct, and what
influence' the laws and religion of China
have upon the human mind. They would
be living epistles, bearing to us the clearest
and most convincing testimony which is
passible. The same also may be said of
Frenchmen, Turks, Hottentots, or any oth
.
er people. Send us one of, the inhabitants
of a country, and he is a specimen, by
which we know•what the people are. Send
us many, and the evidence is confirmed be
yond the reach of doubt. So it is in.re
gard to religion. Religion forms the sen
timents of a people, their tastes, customs,
judgments. It gives them their character.
Send'us then a colony of Romanists, Mo
hammedans, ilindoos, and, you give us ex
amples, epistles, manifestations not only of
the people of the land, but also of the
character, power, and distinctive peculiari
ties 'of the religious systems there preva
lent.
This truth commends itself to our com
mon sense. And it, is recognized in the
Scriptures. It is on this' principle that, it
is said, "Make the tree good, and its fruit
n•ood
• !I
But that peculiarity of this sentiment
which was present with us when we took
our pen, was the one which is expressed by
Paul to the Corinthians, (2. Cor. iii: 2,3,)
Ye are our epistle * * . * known and
read'of all men." "Ye are manifestly de
dared to be the epistle of Christ * * *,
written, not with ink, but with the Spirit
of the living God." Now, is this a fact?
Are Christians living epistles from Christ;
written by his Spirit; the writing on their
hearts; this writing possessed of such a
living power as to manifest itself perpetu
ally and so distinctly that it is read and
known'of all men ? It is even so. Every
true Christian is an "epistle of Christ,"
written by his Spirit, and sent to be read
of all.
Are, then, professors Christians ? ,Do
they so, exhibit the religion of Jesus, that
men beholding them may see what that re
ligion is, in its spirit, its renovating power,
its .transforiking influence; may see what
it makes a man -honest, kind, upright, gen
tle, libersl, heavenly. minded? Do profes
sors so conduct themselves, that those who
read not the Scriptures may yet learn, by
living charactere, what those Scriptures
teach and enjoin Do professors so pre
sent Jesus Christ, as that, they being trans
fers from him, and samples of him, people
who have no other means of knowing him,
may yet learn what he is by reading these
his epistles ? Now, if we must answer
these questions in the affirmative, what
idea must men, otherwise uninformed,
have of religion, and of the Scriptures,
and of Jesus? And if we may not answer
these questions in the affirmative, how then
must we 'regard professors? Can we say
any thing in regard to many, but that they
have only the name ? -
Alasl The lives of professors . involve
- us in great difficulties, when we would-pre
sent the high and holy,.character of our re
ligion,; and Maintain . the power of the
Scriptures, by the Spirit of God, to con
vert and sanctify the soul, and heart, and
life ; and to exalt the person of Jesus
Christ, as one pure, glorious, and altogether
lovely. Must we bring down our religion,
and' detract from the Scriptures, and
debase Jesus, so as to suit,. the moral
stature of Professors ? Or, must we deny
the genuineness of the title by which these
claim to behrethren of Jestis, heirs of God,
and sons' and' daughters of the Lord Al
mighty
There are differences among professors.
-They are a mixed people. Tares and wheat
are found in the same field. All are not
Israel who are of Israel. • In our families,
all the members are not full grown.
Neither are all thoroughly taught. •Nei
ther are all the children always well washed
nor neatly clad, nor acting out their purest
manners' and best behaviour. Neither are
they. a 11,.. at , all times, in a perfectly. good
humor. .Sometimes they are fretful, mo
rose; and entirely out of sorts; and some
times they Are in a sportive mood, quite
unbecoming. But still, there are linen
meats by , which they may be. known, ,by
which the well-practised eye can distinguish:
thein. Especially does the parent know
them;, and love them too; love them even
though he chide and chastise. And this ii
eminently the case in the family of Jesus.
Among professors, that is, in the Church,
within his house, are found his true people.
They have been regenerated and adopted.
They have begun to be like him. They
have their distinctive traits. They may be
known. He know's them. And imperfect
ly as they represent him, he yet admits that
they are his epistles. The characters which
he has .begun to draw upon them will be
retraced, and , extended, and perfected.
They shall yet be truly and fully . *like
him. They are purifying themselves, and
they' shall yet see him as he is.
While some of the truths we have here
presented are alarming, others are consola
tory. Altogether they teach us to be hum
ble, to search ourselvei well, and to be tru
ly discriminating. And they incite us to
higher aims •and holier conduct. Shall we ,
not , commend our religion ? Shall we not
magnify God's Word ?. Shall we , not honor
Jesus ? Shall we not perform the part of
epistles, living epistles, by truthfully rep
reSenting the holiness, the spirit, and the
loveliness of our Lord ?
THE COVENANT OF PROMISE.
"The promise is unto you, and to your
children!' So said the apostle Peter to the
. thousands of anxious inquirers on the day
4.
of Pentecost, viliewhe encouraged thern to
be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
They gladly received his,word. Millions
preVionsly, of the seed of Abraham, had
enjoyed the benefits of the promise, having;
in faith, affixed its seal to their offspring;
and millions since, having embraced the
Divine pledge, and visibly consecrated
.their little ones in , the .form prescribed,
have rejeiced in the results.
PRESBYTEMAX"'; BANNER..--SATTJRDA Y,; APRIL 1: 1860.
This promise is still- good, as myriads of
parents cat testify. The reditoi of the
Mother's .Agasine, has been collecting
some statistics, confirmative -of this pre
cious truth. We give one of his facts
"In a large country church of four hun
dred and sixty-two members, in the State
of New York, there are found only fifteen,
who had not pious mothers; - and of two
hundred and fifty-five persons received into
the church by the present pastor, all except.
thirteen, came.from families having pious.
parents. Three-fourths df the children of
pious parents have become pious, while
among all the families of non-profe,ssing,
parents, scattered through a wide parish;
only three are found from, which any chil
dren have been authered into the church."
Every faithful pastor, well acquainted
with his flock, could add to the testimony.
A very large proportion of those gathered
around the communion table, and a still
larger proportion of those who, maintain a'
consistent religious life, are the seed of the
pious. It is tru,e, there are some painful
defections in Christian families. We have
seen such. But we have been able to trace
the sad evil to its cause. There was paren
tal unfaithfulness—a want of instruction,
a want of-kind guardian care, and especial
ly a want similar to, that which existed in
the families of ELI and DAVID, a want of
good family disciPine.
The . Lord's promise is to the pidw3 who
live piously; to' those who nurture their
offspring in his knowledge and fear; to
those whose honse is a Bethel; to those . who
rule their own house well, and thin up
their children in the way in which they
Should go. To these is the covenant pro
..mise; and it is unfailing.
CHEAP PAPER.
Paper is one of the essentials to the dif
fusion of knowledge. What
~,would the
world be without paper ? Where would be
the books, the written correspondence, the
records, the Magazines; Quarterlies, Month
lies, Weeklies, Doylies ? Where would
knowledge. - •be ? What 'would become of
civilization, of religion,. of freedom ? Alas
how knowledge would decay, and the hu
man =mind - droop ! Paper is an article of
the first necessity to man's- intellect. Ey
ery one needs paper, to the proper devel
opment of his mental nature. The article,'
then, should be - abundant and cheap.
. Our English cousins have now a fair
prospect of a great reduction in the price
of. paper ; and,with this, avast increage of,
general knowledge. Some few years ago,
the Stamp Tax was removed from the news
`papers. This greatly increased the circu
lation by' the vast diminution in price
which it caused. Now, 'there is a proposi-'
tion before Parliament, likely to be adopted,
`which takes away the ditty on the material
used. Paper is to be 'free from taxation.
Knowledge may
. then be put in theform-,
'for universal diffusion, as cheaply in. Great
Britain as it is in the United States. ' The
social and mental' changes thence to result
it is not easy' to estimate. A contempo
rary, speaking on the subject, says;
"There is one little item in Mr. GLAD
sToNz's budget, viz., the abolition of duty
'on paper, the effect of which neither he .
nor any other English statesman cart esti
mate in figures, and yet it doubtless will be,
more wide-spread and lasting than that of
all the others put. together. The advant
age to the manufacturer is clear and appre
ciable, but its influence goes beyond the
product of the mill—it reaches the product
of the brain. It, is a tax taken from
thought, knowledge, information. It is
not merely cheap paper that England is to,
haie, but cheap books, cheap literature,
cheap periodicals, and, more than all, cheap
newspapers. This general diffusion of
knowledge is not - an item to be defined by
statistics, for its effects are felt in every de
partment of Bk.".
Governnient should give every possible
facility for the diffusion of knowledge.
And the Church shoiild use every practi
,
cable means of spreadingknowledge abroad.
We hence rejoice in a safe, frequent, reg
.
lar, and all-permeating mail in a rapidly,
moving press; and in cheap paper.
HONE AND FOREIGN RECORD.
The March number makes its appear-,

We always look for the Record. It notes
the progress of the cause of our Laid, as

DOMESTIC MISSIONS
The fiscal year, as we formerly intimated,-
dosed prosperously. The Record says of
We are happy to be able to state to our read
ers that the Board of Domestic Missions closed,
on the 29th of Febraary, a prosperous year. We
will not anticipate the facts that will be laid
before the General Assembly in our Annual Re
port, except to say that our receipts—although in
advance of the previous year—are not in pro
'portion to our increased liabilities. The avail
able balance in our treasury to meet accruing
liabilities during the year upon which we have
just entered is comparatively small—not' more
than enough in itself to meet the drafts upon
our treasury for two months. It will be per
ceived at once, that to meet our present liabili
ties, and continue the scale_ of appropriations,
'adopted by the Board the last'fiscal year, we will'
need largely increased contributions from 'the
churches. Quite a largo number' of .churches
have made, during the year, no contributions to
this Board. W would therofore respectfully
suggest that these churches would' take some
measures to secure something to the funds of this
Board, and that too at as early a .day•as at all
practicable. A small donation even from each
delinquent church would enable us promptly to
meet all demands upon• our treasury, and to go
on enlarging our operations as formerly, until wee'
meet, 'in' a measure at least, the pressing demands
of our country. We are, thankful to God for his
manifest favorx during the, year just closed, and
humbly rely upon his continued smiles for the
'future." • ,

In this country an OLD BUILDING, around
which the asgociations of generations linger, is
not a common sight. But in Boston, on Wash
ington Street, there is a house that was built in
1.856, and, is,-therefore, now no less than two
hundred and four yearn old. And in, the same
city there are' several wooden houses, the timber
of which. is still perfectly sotuni, that have been
standing for more than a century and a half.

the evening of last Sabbath week; The same

same evening, among whom were'Several
who disaVowed their former Unitarian affinities.'
The sermon on the occasion ,was preached by
Bishop Eastburn, front Phil :8, on "The ex
cellency of the knowledge of Christ." 'The general
drift of the discourse was intended to set forth
the only specific for the malady of sin, with
which all mankind are tainted. : ,He, represented
that the wide-spread prevalence - of disease in
variably brings out manYboastful empirics. As
in the natural, so in the moral world, wealth,
plea Sure, learning, ambition, each claimed to
possess a sovereign cure for the uneasiness of the
sin-sick soul; but each and all proved as deceit
ful ministers as the devil who sent them forth.
There was nothing but an experimental knowl
edge of Christ, as an , atoning sacrifice,, that
could satisfy the cravings and: slake the thirst of
the human soul.. Ordinances, are mean.: of
grace, and should be sedulously' attended upon.,
but no observance of forms: of . W;Orship, no con
formity to ordinances, nor even the' reception' of
the Apostolic rite of Confirmation, could be of
any avail here or hereafter, without " the excel
lency of the knowledge of Christ." The reader
Will observe that 'while this .discourtre savors
pretty strongly of "Episcripady; it' is at , the same
time thbroughly evangelical: A congregation
has been already formed to secure the services of
Dr. Huntington, and thirty thousand dollars haVe
been sUbscribed for the erection of a new houser
of worship." •

was to be•given him at the Fifth Avenue Hotel,
by his Unitarian admirers in. New York, at which
it was expected William Cullen Bryant, the poet
would preside. • .The Unitarians' of New York
are not very numerous, at least as" an organized
body, but they are wealthy, intellectual, zealous,
and liberal in promoting the spread of their pe
culiar views. Mr. King will certainly attract
aitention-on the Pacific coast, and will not be of
any .advantage to the progress of evangelical
opinions.
The CONGILWATIONALISTS of the South,:though
not numerous, still look back with fondness to
the Eastern States, where' their fathers 'HOP
shipp-dd and died. The Rev."- T.. O. Rice, for=
lazily of Brighton, Mass., has.becoree pastor of
the , Congregational church in Charleston, S. C.
The ReV. Dr..l3lagden, of the Old South church,
and . the -Rev. Dr: Adams, of the 'Essex Street
church, were at Charleston last week, taking
'part in' the services of the installation.
It 'is 'said that 'it was the custom of the late
Ruins Clioarn,lo supply his pastor, Dr. Adams,
with a' copy of every important work, just as
soon-as it came from the prese.. How 'great a
benefit might many persons thus-confer'on their
toiling and' poorly paid" pastoral
• The following is the rule of the BosmaN Com
stow SerrooL BOARD with reference to religions
exercises : " The morning .exercises of all the
schools shall commence .. with the reading of a
portion of the Scripture and the repetition of the
Lord's Drayer by the teacher' in each room`; and
.the, afternoon session shall close with appropriate
singing."
_ The Christian Xirror, organ of the Congrega
tionalists of Maine; has a long leader on the
AMERICAN TRACT SOCIETY, in :which it defends
that Society frem the charges brought'against it
by the Independent, Dr. Cheever, and others of
like sentiments.
The Qiinnt.iyrioN or Ma. l'Anuun, at Hartford,
still attracts consiaerable attention. The reply
of Drs. Hawes and Spring is not admitted by
any means to be a finality, in the. controversy.
The Statements 'of Mr. Childs have been in the
main corroborated by . quite a; number of those
present. And the. Rev. Dr. Vermilye, of East
Windsor Theological Seminam has. published
,a
card, stating that the, answers of Mr. Parker were
not such as to allow him I to Vote: in- favor of the
- ordination of .the 'candidate. That. there are very
many men in New England who preach' the
truth as it is in Jesus, and 'as it was understood
by' the • fathers of Congregationalism in this
country, cannot be doubted; but no one will
pretend to say that there are not more than? few
who have departed -widely from' the ancient
landmarks. •
NEW:YORX.
A bill is now before the Legislature authoriz
ing the erection of a new CITY" HALL on Madison
Square, at the enormous cost of $8,000,000.
Tjle ACCUMULATION OF LAW bUITI in. this city
Must .amaze dwellers at a distance, who often
complain'of the length of time that elapses be
fore cases can be • ordinarily reached in the
regular progress of, judicial business. And
strange as it may seem, the Courts not unfre
quently adjonrn after calling 'ovpr• the list, be
cause no - case is ready for trial. There are now
no less than ten thotisand suits pending in the
various State and County Courts in this city.
In the Supreme Court. and Special. Term there
are three thousand five hundred.; in the Superior
.Court, one thousand 80feli hundred; in the Com
inon Pleas, two thousand eight hundred; and in
the-Marine Court, probably ethimsand. In ad-.
"(Edon to• the above is'the business . of the Federal
'Courts, the Brooklyn Courts, in• which many
lawyers of this eity have a ,large practice t . and
the District Courts of the city. This vast
amount of business is transacted, by some
: twenty judges who sit
continually eight months
in the year, and some of, them more, . and gives
employment to a large number °fat:fields, nearly
;two, thousand lawyers, and a vast, number of
clerks, copyists, &e.
The sums of money wasted in.this way, every
year, are enormous.
In some of the lower, districts of the city,
RENTS are not as high as they were sometime
ago; but along •Broadway. there is still an up
ward. tendency in the pricesi asked tor the occu
pancy of every sort of buildings. The new
marble stores opposite the bletrePolititu Hotel,
nearly ready for use, are Of very moderate di
xnensions, but have been rented for $12,000 each
.per annum.
The Woun QY Blsnor lltrunEs' NEW
it CAME
pAL has been suepended ! for nearly two months,
on account of a dispute between the contractors
,and the employees. The Bishop has been ap
pealed to for the settlement of the dispute, but
has declined to interfere. .
The Bona SALE by, the Appletons, last week.
Iwas well attended; but still, many rare works
; were sold at a very moderate price. Several
agents for Western Colleges and Universities
were present.
The public will be delighted to learn that Mr.
G. P. Putnain will iniblish, in a short time, the
" Luz AND LDTTERS OF WASHINGTON IRVINE,"
.edited by his literary executor, Rev. Pierre M.
- This. work , Will consist of three duo..
decimo volumes.
Sheldon & Co., have in press that very Vain
-able work, " WEDGEWOOD'S DICTIONARY or ENG
atm. Errmotoov, edited and enlarged by Geo.
Y. Marsh, the aceemplished philologist, and au
.'ther of "Lectures on the English Language."
The Independent truly says': •
" The list of publications issued by Sheldon &
Co: ' is a good illustration of - the catholicity of
the house, and the wide range of •its religious
'literature. We find the Baptists represented not
only by Mr. Spurgeon, but by Drs. Wayland and
; Fuller, once in controversy, and 'by Drs. Turn:
hnll, Dowling, and others; the Episcopalians by
„13ishop Eastburn and Dr. Haw,ks; by the side of ,
the editor of The °ltem& we;fiet4 the, editor of
The Evaveliet, so that the
pastors of the Brick
church and the Broadway Tabernacle are in the
same list ; which- is crowned with the
rand
s and
'
names of Olshausen Heander, Tholnek,
Adolphe Monod. In addition to these the Hum
boldt Library and the Sabbath School Library,
published by this house, and the new series of
Mr. Abbott's stories, offer an attractive list of
juvenile and family books."
The Prawns° ESTABLILCIIfF.NT of Mr. .Thlat A.
Gray, publisher ,of the Knickerbocker,- is six
stories high, and has no less than thirty power
presses, in full operation every day. The num
ber of books, newspapers, sermons, speeches,
magazines, catalogues, &c., printed here every
year, almost exceed. the belief of the uninitiated.
Yet everything is carried on with the . utmost
regularity—without haste or confusion.
. Our
,Barrtsr • FRIENDS connected. with the
Bible Union, have already expended $146,915.22
in their attempts, toward revising - the , English
Translation of the Scriptures in common use ;
but as- yet very .little has been accomplished,
notwithstanding the magnificent pretensions
made.
The SABBATILCOMMITTBE 4S continuing to do
an excellent work in the collection of facts with
regard to the observance of the Sabbath, securing
the enforceinent of the laivs against selling
liquor on the Sabbath, in awakening public at
tention, and in obtaining the advocacy. of the
secular.press. , The new Sabbath law passed by
the Legislature was vetoed by the Governor; not,
however, on, account of its Sabbath character,
but on account of some other things found
in-the bill. A new bill, however; is before the.
Legislature, in which these things are not found,
but equally strenuous with regard to the Sab
bath, that will pass' both houses, and that will
certainly receive the signature of the Governor.
Great alarm has been manifested by the anti-
Sabbath men, but they admit that attempts to
prevent the wane of the la* will. be fruitless.
:SoMe of their orators attribrite 'the stand taken
by the Legislature on this subject, to the fact that
. a majority. of its members, as they say; are from
the cortntry, arid the'ions of fanners, and conie:
qUently not aequainted with city habits: If the
`allegation be true, the fanners' sons are entitled
to no small degree . of commendation.

The REV. Da. BEEMAN, Rector of Trinity
Church, has been preaching his fiftietharmiver
sary sermon from Y. Sam. xii 3. Dr. Berrien
- was born and educated in this city, andlas spent
his entire life here, with the 'exception of a very
* brief period ; so that the pertinency of the text
is very obilous: He has lived to see New York
grown •from a tonit of thirty-five thousand in
habitants to a city containing, more than seven
hundred thousand souls: During his long minis.
try, he has married one thousand and fiftycouples,
baptized two thousand three hundred children

The' preaching of Mr. • Gu - rxwEss continues to
attract great crowds. At one of the inquiry
meetings held by him, three hundred persons
were present.
The Fulton Street DAILY Pnaina MEETING IS
still well attended; and some of the papers give

DEAR BRETIEREW CIIRIST :—lt is With sad
nees and great sorrow of heart that we, the Ses
sion, with all the members of the little church_ at
Waterford, are compelled,) in.the wisdom of that
Providence "whoseways are unsearchable, and
past finding out," to part with our dear brother
and minister,. J. P; Caldwell, who has acceptably
and faithfully labored. with us; in.connexion with
his Fredericktown charge, during the last two
years. He has not shunned to declare the whole
council of God, and we belieie can truly say, as
he did in his last sermon, "that he was pure
from the blood. of all men." It was an interest
ing time; our meeting-house was crowded, as
was the house in Fredericktown when he preached
his farewell address. In hoth,congregations there
were evident Manifestations of grief, from warm
sympathizing hearts. Tears freely--fhe
weak and the strong, saints and sinners alike
wept much. We assure you that our .love for
him is strong and abiding • and feeling our loss
is your gain, we commend ltim to your fellowship
and Christian sympathy;as a faithful minister,
and a worknaan that'needeth 'Otte beitshamed.
We do earnestly pray that his ministerial labors
in your midst may be blessed, as they have been
here, and more abundantly.

A Tribute of Respect.
An Extract.from the Minutes of the Washington
Literary Society, of Washington College,' Penna.,
March 23, 1860.
The undersigned Committee, appointed to pine-"
pare a suitable, record respecting the death' of
David W. Clari, of Schelisburg, Pa., a late,grad
nate of 'Washington College, and a regular' mem
ber of this Society, respectfully reporttb.o,follow
ing, viz.: .
Wirsnass, We have heard with feelings of deep
and sincere sorrow, of the decease of one, with
whom so recently we were associated in the com
mon pursuits of College life ;
Resolved, That in him we, ever recognized the
faithful and devoted friend, and one, who by
means of . his'warm and generous nature Christ
lan piety, and naturakalents, would, if life and
health had been spared to him,. have been a use
ful instrument in making lmown that Redeemer
to whose service he had determined to devote his
Roseatied, That we.tenii:ei pill' heartfelt Om pa-
thies to, the family,and xelatives of the deceased;
and assure theni that' his loss is not felt merely in
the comparativelylimited circle of home-friends,
but is= sincerely regretted by his many familiar
acquaintance in this
; town and vicinity.
.BeTelved, That these resolutions be published
in the town papers, and in the Presbyterian Ban
ner, and. that a copy be sent to the relatives of
the deceased. " S. M. RAYMOND,

Tribute of Respect.
Since "He who doetb, all things well" has
seen fit to remove from time to the eternal world,
our valued friend, Mr. - David W. Clark, of
Schellsburg, Pa. % we, formerly his class-mates in
Washington College, but, who are now at the
Western.,The4ogical Seminary, desire to express
ourleartfelt sorrow, and also, our high appreci
ation of our dear friend, who, as we.confidently
trust, has gone to a better and a happier-Home,
Did we not recognize the Almighty Ha l diPin
this painful dispensation, we could not but mur
mur and complain mourning the early death
of one possessed in ;such. a high degree of all
those qualities of intellect and ,heart, which
make the gentleinan, the schelii, and the
Christian. Having just gone forth from his
Alma Mater, he'was about preparing to take up
the sword in. the Redeemer's cause, when the
messenger was sent to call - l:tim= from earth to
heaven._ - • .• .; - . - t....-
Possessed of, excellent social, qualitieg Island
judgment, vigorous' thinking 'powers, and slave
all, a heart, glowing with, love for Jesus and the
souls of perishing men; he gave promise of great
usefulness in the -work' of the Christian ministry,
to which he =had :consecrated , himself, if God
should spare his life.
,But he
_was• not permitted
to engage in the service, and was submissive to
the will of God, having expressed, his readiness
"to depart and be with Christ, which is far
better."
With sorrowing 'friends we freely drop the
tear of sympathy and mutual love. We suffer
- With them in the loss of one so gifted, so prom
ising, and so tenderly loved._ But this consola
tion we hive, that " our loss is his eternal gain."
Why was he, the worthiest of his class, cut
down, and the more unprofitable servants spared?
It should arouse ' us to a sense of the shortness
and the uncertainty of life, to the importance of
being always prepared for the Master's coming,
and to a realization of the solemn responsibility
resting upon its to work faithfully while the day
lasts, so' that we can ' greet the messenger of
death with a smile, and like our departed brother
say; "I am ready, ready."'
