Mrs. SHERwooD-This admirable au.
thosess, was sometime ago triumphantly
claimed by the Universalists, as one of
their faith The Puritan Recorder has
recently published an authentic eontradic
tion. We DO not think doctrines are any
the more to be received, because held By
the great; but we think it due to this em-
inent lady that she should not be made to
hold what she rejects. The Recorder thus
refers to the report and its authentic con-
ttadiction
.Tho U.;~orealists in this country had
grcat rejoicings over such convert. And
in order to testify their JOY, they made up
q box of books, containing the leading
Universalist publications, elegantly bound,
and sent them over to England, as pres
ent to Mrs. Sherwood. Respecting this
demonstration, Mrs. Sherwood says in her
Autobiography, while We were living in
Worcester, very large parcel arrived
from America, containing many splendidly
bound volumes, as present to me. The
books were from party in America, called
the Universalists, with which | disclaim
all connection, as | believe their doctrines,
ns far as know them, to be denial of
the holy Scriptures, as they cay that the
mercy of God is bestowed upon man with
out the ransom being obtained by Christ.
These persons, in their Journals, have de-
clared me, and also my daughter Sophia,
members of their body. But we wrote at
once to disclaim it; though have reason
TO think our letters were never published.
The works sent, though finely got up,were
hateful to us from their sentiments and
they we're sent back from whence they
came
No DIMISUTIoN-It is gratifying to
learn, that Notwithstanding the disasters
of the times, most Of our National Benevo
lent Societies have kept up the acreage of
their receipts Many liberal contributors
have failed utterly, and others were much
crippled in their means but new friends
were raised up, old friends made extra
efforts, and the truth is again made evil
dent that "man proposes, but God dis
poses"
New LUTHERAN SYNoD,-On the 10th
ult., the Evangelical Lutheran Synod of
Central Pennsylvania" held its first session
at Aaronsburg, and adjourned to meet in
Mifflinburg, Union Co., the Sd Thursday
in May, 1856. Its proposed boundary
comprises the Lutheran congregations in
Perry, Juniata, Miflin, Center and Union
counties, and all of Clinton and Lycoming
south of the West Branch Rev. NJ. j.
Alieman, Aaronsburg, Secretary.
CANDoR.-Charles Howard Malcoln,
who bore one OF the honors of the gradu-
ating clas, of over so, at the recent Com
mencement Of the O. S. Presbyterian
Theological Seminary at Princeton, is a
Baptist Of the straitest sect, but the Pres
ty'erian bears honorable public testimony
to his ability and worthiness.
s%The friends Of Rev. Daniel Myers,
Of Chester county, have helped him pur.
chase small farm property. Mr.. Myers
has spent long life trying to do goo9 to
the world in the Ministry of the Methodist
Episcopal church. This act of justice to
man spent in the service of God, is no
more than right, and if oftener performed
would make preachers more hopeful, more
actire, and less troubled with the minor
duties Of family and personal wants. Too
often, as the comparison runs, "old minis
ters, like old horses, are turned out on the
commons to starye, when they can do no
more work" The just and far the best
way ID TO give tho,, ....a..11. s,nxos.
