==l =I Abstract of Fifth Annual Report'of the Church Extension Committee. EGMNZRAL ASSEMBLY, MAT, 1860.] • For.the first time since its 'organization the Committee reports the death of a mem ber, Joseph Charless; one pi ; they most effi cient Christians in the city of St. Louis. The work entrusted to the Committee *as during the. last year an .unusually heavy burden. An unusual number of sanctu aries spared by the leniency of creditors for many months, were during that period pressed to sale, and special efforts were necessary to save them. Repeated failures of the crops,And the continued pecuniary distress of some sections of our country, compelled many churches engaged,in build ing to draiv so heavily on the Comm ttee, that the, applications duly preptred ,for triear action were for $51,551.91, or more than $13,000 in excess of any previous year. , From April Ist, 1859, to April Ist, 1860, one hundred and thirty applications, call for over $68,000, were put on file. luau ,ing the applications on file aid un diaposed of April let,' 1859, two hundred and thirtpOne applications, calling for more than $109,000, were before the Com nilttee in the year, under review. Various causes reduced the receipts of the first nine months,nf the fiscal year to $11,501.32, or $5,716.74 below the same period of the preceding year, and rendered the position of the Committee a very painful one, for many: months, as they were compelled to cut down, defer and decline an unusual number of UpPlications. During the last three, months, however, about $24,000 was reoeiied, , so that the year closed more pros -perously.than was anticipated, and shows an advance in every department. The present.report names six hundred and sev enteen contributing churches, against five hundred and sixty-five specified last year,• And records an increase in receipts of $6,197.69. While an.unusually large pro portion of the receipts, were special dona tions, showing rather what the Church is doing in this department than the amount at the dispoeal of the Committee; still, after these are deducted,, the, sum received, for general purposes is somewhat larger than in, any, former year. The number of Appropriations reported is eighty-five, against'; eighty-three last yeari and ,the amount appropriated is $34,573.87, or $10,605.72 greater than during the pre viout twelve months: The amount paid ninety, churched this year, is $31,614.33, or $11,119.43 greater than the amount, paid seventy-six, churches last year. The year, closed with one hundred appli cations on file and undisposed of, calling for over $43,000. None of these were in a condi tion to be acted upon bythe Committee imme diately, but a large number of them will proba bly, soon furnish the necessary information. During the year, five applications, calling for $6,000; were declined, chiefly for want of means to respond to them. The' receipts from April Ist, 1859, to April Ist, 1860, were $35,440.01, and .the expenditures $34 2 749.64. The liabilities of the Committee at the close of the year exceeded their means on hand, $2,239.90. The average cost 'of the church edifices the Committee have helped to build is $2,095, and the 'average amount of help they have given is $245. ,Committee have learned the condi tion in respect to. sanctuaries, of three thousand two hundred and ninety-five churches,• or of ,about eleven-twelfths of the whole number of churches in connexion with the General Assembly. Of these three thousand two hundred and ninety five ehurches,, six hundred and fifty-three are reported•without any house of worship, two hundred and thirty-two as worshipping in sanctuaries insufficient for their present wants, and two hundred and sixteen as in debt for the honses they occupy. The faCteknOin to is'render it safe to say, that one-half the sanctuaries now belonging to our churches, were built in part by aid from outside the community in, which• they are Imola and that fully three-fourths of our destitUte churches must have help frOm abroad, or remain houseless. Sinak July, 1855," your Committee have made appropriations to three hundred and forty-Six different churches, amounting to $115,468.33 ; if to these be added twelve appropriations, amounting to $1,125, made by the Cetniaittee of the Board of Missions, froni4pril Ist to' July Ist, 1855, and trans ferred' to this - Committee, the aggregate during the five years ending April Ist, 1860,, is three hundred and fifty-eight different .ohurehes, and $116,593.33. In. other' vrorde,.about one-tenth of the whole number of churches under the care of the Assembly, have been aided through its Comb:dace in the last five years. Including $1,495A4 received by the late Gotrimittee' of the Board of Missions, in April,-May, and June, 1855, the' receipts of yoiir' Coinmittee in the five years ending April let, 1860, were $121,946.40, of which $92,093.77-was from churches. - foid' years and nine months the present Committee of the Assembly , have received $53,402.34 more `and aided over nine-tenths as many churches as 'the late Gommittee of the Board of Missions did in ten years and nine mbriths. If a still more convincing proof of the lisdom of a separate organi zation for, the ,vital work of Church Exten sion'be needed', it, is found in the fact that the cAtt'e'ciegslliave hi the last five years con tributed' Ul f, * Church Extension. Fund largely iiVer font times - as much as they did in the preceding ten' years years of combined effeirtt r irkin the further fact that 3ix hun dred 'and:''seventeen' churches centribifted. during thelaat fiscal year, while only one hundred and sixty-eight churches contrib uted frentyJalyilso, to April lst; 1855. The report concludes thus : While the shave review of, the past bids us thank..God.an.d.take courage,., it cannot concealltWe tam; inedequaoy of the present benefactions to'•' this enterprise, or the necessity of contributions from the more than tur i e„theutaind,eight,hundrednhurches on the rollibethe Assembly, who last year gave nothing to your Committee to aid them in carrying forward the work you have ,lai&nponthem. Deducting from this iii iber those Who in other ways contribute all they should to church building among the,destitute, and all who may reasonably= ask to be excused ,at present, there must lie,yery many of these churches who ought to lend a helping hand to their des titute brethren through your Committee. To such alio* us to conimend the facts, that, last year the duly prepared applica tions exceeded the receipts more than $16,000; did closed with one hundred ap plications on file,, calling for over $43,000; that six, hundred and fifty-three sister churches-axe without a house of worship ; that most of 'Apse destitute - churches, and of the more than one hundred churches annually organized in our connexion, must have help from abroad or remain houseless; and that your Committee so far from, being able to stimulate destitute churches to arise and build, have hitherto been com pelled'hY want of means to repress rather than encourage worthy applications. If to these arguments for increased coliperation e be added s the benefits that ordinarily result from tho,erection of sanctuaries such as the improve& inoild tone of the' community;' the increased-, support of our scantily sus tained ministry; the greater permane,ney secured to our churches; the enlarged at stendance on the means. of grace; and the • frenizente outpourings of the Holy Spirit that-mark -tke fulfillment of the promise, it o,ild the houSe, and will take pleasure inel will be glorified, saith the lkoi&"—Lit seenisto us that no tight-ininded follower, or church of the Redeeiner, can re f r ain &pm aiding, as God has prospered,. ipjustawpg an enterprise so needy andno fraughtivitb.,blessinge.7;,,. t:i.:. f4,e . 4...

Arthur and the Old Clock One Sabbath day, Arthur was left at home alone, while all the rest of the family attended church. Instead of regarding the day as he should, in the quiet perusal of the . Bible =and other' : good books,' Jae made it a day of self-amusement. As soon as all were gone, Arthur began to search all the curious nooks and corners of the time-lion ored dwelling. The;garret was explored and many rare curiosities exhumed. An cient desks and drawers were eiamined, re veiling their curious, contents to his imper tinent and childish curiosity. ; An old clock stood in the corner, with a tall, gaunt, brown case. Within the dark, hollow closet, Arthur had often peered, but he had not been allowed to examine very closely the mysteries of the clock case. Now was a fine opportunity. He opened the narrow door. The long pendulum was swinging back and forth at regular' inter vals with aloud tick, tick, tick, tick. Two long, cylindrical, tin` weights, and'two very little lead weights were hanging by small cords. Arthur had seen his father "wind up the clock," and he knew it was done, by pulling down the little:weights. "It must be rare sport," he thought, cc to wind up the old clock." He would make the at tempt, at any rate. So taking hold of the small weight, he tugged away right, man fully. 'The wheels purred, and the' great weight began to rise. ' ' "Faster," said Arthur, ".go up faster," and giving :a sudden pull, the cord broke, and down came the heavy weight with a loud noise ! Then there was a terrible whirring emetic , .. the .clock wheels for a moment, and then it stopped: The ticking, ceased, and the pendulum stood still "0, what have'l done now?" cried Ar thin., in distress. "0, what will father say to me ' when he sees what I have done ?" Arthur closed the clock door, and for the remainder of the day, until his 'parents re turned, was a very humble, quiet boy. When his father returned,' on looking at the old clock, he perceived'that it had stopped. Opening the clock deor, he saw that the cord of one of the weights had broken, and that the weight 'had fallen to the bottoin*of the case. " How is this, Arthur; did you know that the clock is stopped,?" Yes, sir," replied Arthur, "I heard a great noise in the clock 'case; and when I went and looked in, behold it was' silent." Mr. Milton made no more inquiries, sup posing thak it was an accidental occurrence. Night came, and little Arthur went 'to bed as •usual. His father had tied._ the cord, and the clock was not "ticking Joudly ever. To Arthur it ticked louder than ever. It seemed to say, in 'the Silence of the night, " Boy ! boy ! boy!" " A lie! a lie! a lie!" a Ownit ! own le! (nth: it r". Arthur did, not sleep much ,Consdienee whispered to him, and with , the words of the old clock, said - ,." Arthur, you have told a lie." Early in-the morning he 'arose and gazed up into. the fice of the old clock: ItlOok'ed very sternly at him. " Quick ! quick ! quick ! quick !" said the clock. So the poor bey Wept to his':kaiber and told with a very sorrowful heart. Ecis, father freely forgave hiiu. And .he' prayed that God would forgive:Alta, and. never suffer him to tell a lie again. Dear children,. never - tell in'untruth. Lying is a low, meanvice, mid Very wicked. —Th4 Spring. - , , I Story for ROIRCWiTES "Can you make me an appropriation for my boy's new clothes, next week ?" "I am afraid not, my dear. You know I have overdrawn already to pay my in terest money." " Well, but you have Old ybur sweet potatoes; you- had ten dollars 'extra last week, and the money from our boarder, which I think you might give to me, as I had all the-trouble of her.' - . • " I should love dearly to, give it to you, but we must nave it to live on ; and be sides, I must pay for the red, cow next month." " Oh, dear i" said the wife, impatiently.; " there is never any , money for rue and my children. I do n't see how the boys are going to get on much longer. 'There was not a single pair of pants, left over, list Winter, and Harry's overcoat has been worn three 'Winters,. and is very shabby." " Well, I do n't,know what yon can do. Perhaps next month' I can pie you the • "Next month," said , the wife despairing ly to herself, some hours afterwards; do n't see how I can wait that long." So she went to the closet, in the little 'boY's room, to examine the old coats And panta loons, and see what was to be done. "It is a shame," said she, . " that' :I should be required to menditp`,any of these old things:' This coat is entirelrworn: out in the sleevesrand ,so faded and shabby ; this one has been worn byt theta both ; ,,I certainly' shall not mend that bid, 'E±a4ie..

But then came better thoughts. "It is vacation. Perhaps by school 'time I can have the money. Oughtn't I to' try' to make some of these thing }do a little longer? My husband is in unusual diffi culty. It is hard to get money, and after all, it is not so much matter what these little fellows wear.. Perhaps a new patch is as much to their mother's credit as a new garment There are plenty of pieces like this brown coat. Let me see what I can do." So she sat down, ripped the back of each sleeve, pieced them down from :above the elbow, and refaced them; then 'faced the back anew, put .omthe missing , bnttons, and held it 'tip. " Reilly, did not think it would look qoyy . ell; it will last another, niontbat least,n , nd the pieces will soon wear the same color." Then she took a second.. one, Which had a good plain lining, and turned it com pletely, put the buttons' on the 'other:, Side; bound the neck and:Sleeires, and` it look as good as new. An hour in the evening ' spent in making over the old caps, and theboys were well enough elethed for all the weeks before Winter. Now, was till this of any advantage ,to herself? Had she not gained a victory?, Yes;in ; deed; victory `over" her di4ont6iitg her impatience, her love of display,,and her love of ease. cr NecessitY is the mother of invention," and, "contrivance is better than work," are two good proverbs, >worthy to be in every libuSekeeper's vocabulary., , Here Was`woman: linace,ustoined 'to being denied what seemed to'her necessary for her wants, making dn, what a great deal would barely have supplied, just by an unusual exertion on her park; au ex ertion good for herself, and an 'excellent example to her children.

The military character of the Roman occupation of Britain is - marked by 'various cirethnstan 7 ces. • The cities of the conquered province sprung from camps, retained to the last, the form and arrangements of Country Oar- ters. Of the multitude of . Roman inscrip tions found; not more than one or two, per haps, refer to the municipal institutions.'

It would seem, that the Britons, under. the Cmsars , and" Antonines, went ahead,'almost as fast as, our kinsmen at the present day ,in and Anstralia. While the reckless luxury of Rome and Italy was ":ransackingevery . frontier-for ministers -tcrindolence and vice, the simpler people of the distant provinces generally did' their own work, for them selves, and enjoyed in return a moral and material In, no part of,the island arc traces!of the Bonian conquerors more. thickly strewn than along the marches of Wales and the isthmus of the .Tyne, and Solway. , The forest 'Of 'Bean,'and Am' Valley of Avon, and the'wholn:coursa of ;the,' Severn, are full of remains'indicating the,establishment of a large 'population; ,evidently stationed. there as military colonists, for the, defense of an important.frontier, net less than fin'• the of the'soil.
