The Observer announces the receipt Of glad
tidings of the gracious outpouring of the Spirit
upon l70 more churches, located in twenty-three
different States. In the case of ll6 estimates of
the number of converts are given and amount to
over 1000, of whom 1850 are now members of
the Church. Thus since January in all $40 re-
vivals, 5000 converts and 2,7oO additions to
Evangelical churches have been reported. Yet
in this computation the largest of these de-
nomnatons-the Metho dist-is not included.
The number of revivals among them
has been great and the reports in
many cases so indefinite as to make accurate est
mates very difficult. 1t would be safe to say that
the revivals and conversions mentioned in our
Methodist exchanges far outnumber the aggre-
gate of those reported from all other Evangelical
churches.
Among the more remarkable cases of revival
we record the interest in the Welch Congrega-
tional church in Conner, Ohio (sev. j. M. Thomas,
pastor), where meetings are held morning and
evening, the services being all in the Welch Ian
guage. About eighty have been added to the
church. and the good work continues in interest,
so that there but few in the whole settlement
but are professed followers of Christ.

CHRISTIAN SINGERS IN JEWISH SYNA.
GOGUES.


To THE EDIrOR or THE HERALDD =
Your esteemed paper contained in its last Sunday
edition an extract from the Je,,ish Messenger de-
claring that it is against the laws of logic and
common sense to employ Christian singers in
Jewish synagogue. Many of your readers are
at loss what your intention was in publish
ing the opinion of so-called orthodox
Israelite about this matter-to wit, whether
you consider it as the general expression of
the Israelitish principles or as singular
assertion of party spirit. Whatever your reasons
might be, it would have been your duty to refer
likewise to the opposite views stated by Rev. Dr.
Huebsch, an eminent Jewish divine, in the columns
of the HeJreao Leader (No. 90, vol. xi.) AS
the public might be led to erroneous conclu-
of the statement of the Messenger-that
the Israelites hold it an abomnation to
admit Christians to their divine services
able and acknowledged preachers of our reli-
and intolerant ideas as those advanced by the Mes
senger; and that the views of DR.. Huebsch pre-
vail in America it is sufficient to intimate that
in in all the large cities Of the United
New Orleans, San Francisco, ST. Louis &C.,
Christian singers are employed by Jewish congre
cations. This is evident proof that the
Messenger has not so great an influence over the
Israelites as to induce them to abolish custom
which tends to promote good feelings of harmony
and union among Gods children. And who dares
pretend that Christians act against their religious
duties in singing Hebrew songs? There exists q
laudable habit of making them acquainted
with the contents of the Hebrew text, and
never was it known that any one raised any OBJ
lection to it on account of religious scruples.
This plainly proves that Christian choristers have
nothing to perform in opposition to their own
faith and that the songs meet on common
ground.
In conclusion, allow me to say that the
Messenger has committed great blum
der either voluntarily or involuntary
in asserting that in synagogue in the world out
side of America do Christians take part in the
vice beyond perhaps, playing the organ" We
advise the editor of the Messenger, to acquire
better information before he utters such fasities.
We can assure him that in many cities of Germany,
as Hamburg, Vienna, Prague, Leipzig, &C., chors
are not only led by, but also partly composed of
Christians. Even in smaller towns of Germany there
are singing societies (Gesangrereine) composed
of Christian and Jewish members, which, under the
same leadership, sing alternately in Christian and
Jewish churches. These statements must con-
vince your readers that the spirit of anaticism and
intolerance openly espoused by the Je,cish Mes
senger is abhorred by the greatest number of
Israelites and loses every day its Influence, in spite
of the efforts of writer who is too old and too
shortsighted to acknowledge his errors.

according TO the latest return of the population OF
the United States--31 ,429 ,S91-it will show that
more than one-third OF our people are not even
nominally identified with any church, and as
these statistics arc much later than those Of the
census, 1t may be Judged that nearly one-half of
our people, men, women and children, are not of
the church going order.
PROGRESS OF THE CHURCHES.
The chief increase of the Roman Catholic Church
s by immigration; yet the statistics of last year
show that more persons come to the United States
from Protestant countries than Roman Catholic.
There are occasional conversions OF Episcopalians
to Catholicism, but the tide has not yet set in the
in England. The Methodists are making
greater eforts and with better success than
any others. Their increase In old established
churches is large, and they organize some thing
like two new societies week. The Baptists come
next. Their Home Mission Society chiefly oper-
ating in the West, claims last year to have built
one new church week and organized new con-
gregation every three days, besides their increase
In the older States. The Congregationasts have
made great efforts in the West, but they do not
prosper with new populations in like degree
with the preceding, unless the. people have New
England origin. Tho Presbyterians in cities are
absorbing the moro solid and educated mind Of the
evangelical" class, but accomplish little conpar-
atively in the more sparsely settled regions Wher
ever there are few Episcopal families they are
pretty certain to do all they can to start chnrch,
and the missionary efforts Of their communion are
very soon put forth to nurse the small beginning.
The Unitarians and Universalists can seldom work
successfully save where large centres Of popula-
ton bring together people inclined their way
