Southern Presbyterian Church SIM
ply publish the action of the Northern General
Assembly, and for reasons deemed satisfactory
abstain this week from all comment.
Dr. Niccolls. from the special Committee to
consider certain matters in relation to the
Southern Churches, reported the following
resolutions.
Whereas, The Syneds ct Alabama, Arkana
sas Georgia, Memphis, Mississippi, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, and Virginia,
with the several PrGsbyteries under their care
have, with the exception Of the Presbytery of
New Orleans, in the Synod of Mississippi
voluntarily withdrawn from our connection and
organized themselves into a separate Church !;
therefore,
Resolved That the Permanent Clerk is d.
rected to drop their names from the list of our
Synods and Presbyteries, and they are no
longer to be regarded as part Of the Presby-
terrain Church under the care of this Assembly,
with the exception of the Presbytery of New
Orleans, which is hereby attached to the Syn
cd of Nashville.
Resolved That the Assembly does hereby
recognize the organization into which these
SynOds have formed themselves, as separate
aud independent Church, sustaining to us the
same relation which we accord to other branch
es of the Presbyterian Church, and hereafter
it is to be treated accordingly by all the courts
under our care.
Resolred, That the Assembly also take this
occasion to say that while it cannot justify
these brethren in separating themselves from
the Church Of their fathers, it regrets their
withdrawal, and expresses the earnest hope
that they may see their way clear to return to
their former relations.
These resolutions were unanimously adopt

A Neglected Church Rising.

At the last meeting of Knoxville Presbytery,
it was enjoined upon our ministers, that they
spend at least two Sabbaths in preaching to
the vacant churches before our next stated
meeting
In compliance Herewith, the Rev. Henry
Brown and the Rev. Thomas II. McCallie have
just closed five days meeting at Soddy, Ham
iton county, Tennessee. This is one Of our
most interesting, but most neglected churches.
1t is situated in an intelligent, thrifty and
growing community. The church -edifce is a
neat frame building, located in beautiful
grove.
Their venerable pastor, the Rev. Benjamin
Wallace, man whose praise is in all the
churches, died about eleven years ago. Since
that time, they-have been greatly neglected,
hearing only an occasional sermon from Pres
byterian minister. And yet, notwithstanding
all this neglect, they showed their anxiety to
hear the Gospel once more, by repairing their
house and fitting it up for service, for it had
been greatly injured by the war.
ATTENDANCE AND RESULTS OF THE MEETING.
The weather was delightful. The attendance
was, therefore, fine, Notwithstanding the farm
ing community had been greatly hindered by
the heavy Spring rains. As the result Of the
meeting, three elders were ordained. thirteen
members were added to the church on profess
sion of faith in Christ three by letter from
other churches and eleven or twelve children
baptized.
Sinners were converted and called from the
dead world, the people of the Lord were
greatly strengthened, and the church is evil
IDENTIFY starting forward more prosperously than
ever before.
AN INTERESTING SIGHT.
On the Sabbath morning, the 3lst of May,
the mercies of our covenant-keeping Jehovah
were most strikingly displayed. When Bro.
Wallace was called to die, his children were
not all converted, but he left them in the hands
of that God, who has said: 81 will be God
to thee and thy seed" On Sabbath morning,
three of his children were admitted to the seal
ing ordinance of the Lords Supper; making
nine out of the ten children that he left that
are now hopefully converted. Two of these
are candidates for the ministry.

a member of the Presbyterian Church, to teach

while it is the prerogative and duty Of the

FROM THE NORTHERN STATES.
Rev. Lr. Anderson and the Central
Church, st. Louis.

At congregational meeting of the Central
Presbyterian Church. held on the 9th ult, in
view of the resignation of the pastor, Rev. S.
j. p Anderson, D. d., committee consisting
of Mr.. Edward Chapman, Judge Logan Hun
ton, Judge II. M. Samuels, Mr.. ID. III. Bishop,
Mr.. I. NJ. Barron, and Judge j. ID. S. Dry
den, reported the following resolutions, which
were ordered to be published in the Missouri
Presbyterian:
"Our revered and most excellent pastor,
Rev. DIR. S. j. P. Anderson, having, by pain
full and mysterious Providence, been deprived
of his voice to such degree as to disqualify
him for the discharge of his pastoral duties
and we having consented at his request, to
unite with him in asking Presbytery to dis
solve the pastoral relation which he has so
long sustained towards US, the people of his
care, we feel it due alike to Dr. Anderson and
to ourselves, before the proposed separation
shall be consummated. to bear testimony to his
great worth, and to the hig5 esteem in which
we hold him. Therefore,
ResolUed, First, That during all the many
years of his ministrations here he has pro-
claimed the message of truth committed TO
him by his Divine Master courageousiy, zeal
ously, and with singular power. and to the
great comfort and edifcation Of his people,
Many have been his abors and abundant their
fruits. The doctrines he so faithfully and elo-
quenty preached to others, he illustrated by
his daily life and example. In sickness and in
health, in prosperity and in adversely, in sea-
sons of great tribulation and difficulty, in the
church and out of it. he was the wise and judi
cious counsellor, and the kind and sympathiz-
ing friend of his people; ever ready to sacri-
fee and be sacrificed for them.
Resolred, Second, That cherishing these
precious recollections of our beloved pastor,
and his noble work, we will ever feel an abid-
ing interest in him and in whatever concerns
him, and we beg him to be assured that he
has our most cordial and heartfelt sympathy ia
the sore affiiction that has thus suddenly de-
prived him of the power of pursuing the work
he so much loves, and our sincere prayer that,
if it be Gods will, he be speedily delivered
from his malady and restored to his work for
Christ. j. D. S. DRYDEN, Chairman.

Report

To the Board Of Directors on the Reduced cost
of hUmg to Students at the Columbia SEMI
nary.
In view of the condition Of the country and
the expenslveness Of living, It was determined
year ago to open boarding hall for the
Seminary God and his people greatly favored;
SO that the rooms and the necessary furniture
were provided without drawing upon the funds
Of the Institution The result is that excel
lent boarding has been furnished during the
effort has required foresight, calculation, care
and diligence, but it has been entirely success
full. The boarding has not been sumptuous,
but plain, nutritious, well prepared, and pro-
perly served up. And it has been attended
with less difficulty than was anticipated. Per-
haps the students have never been better cared
for, or had less difficulty in securing necessary
comfort.
The system of strict responsibility has been
adopted in every department, and it puts an
end to losses from carelessness Of servants,
etc. The health OF the students has improved
rather than suffered True, the funds, used
as capital, have fallen little short, but this
deficiency has been already provided for
With the increased number of students ex-
pected next session. it is believed that SIS per
month from each student will fully meet the
whole outlay. In connection with the board
ing hall there Is laundry where the accessory
towels e. s:S sSs q sss student e
charge for wearing apparel IS smalI. - :
Fuel has been bought as low as possible at
wholesale prices and sold to the students at
cost, so that student has been paying during
all the last session. for his boarding, washing
and fire. little over one hundred and GW
dollars
If the friends of the Institution, generally,
would be as liberal in aiding the boarding hall
as some have been, it would be easy to make
a still greater reduction in the cost of living.

SATANIC sArIaE,


Tour contributor seems to think-and great
many people agree with hm--that the ksil One
may cease from troubling the dweller IN certain
cities for they are proceeding Of their own accord
faster along the broad path than he could expect
Of them In consequence Of any inducement he might
offer. Whether this Is truth or not, the following
poem Is worthy Of place beside southey's similar
description Of Satan on his travels j
The Devils Visit TO Washington.
The Devil sat on his sulphur throne,
And heard, with bitter grin,
Reports from the planet he deems his own,
As blacK subs brought them in.
The Fenian scare in Great Britain pleased
His cynical temper we'll
And the news from Brazil and Paraguay
Prom Hayti, Peru, and sisa Bay,
Not forgetting the late Chinese ARRAY,
Rather tiekled the King Of Hell.
But when his scouts of this "IIappy Land"
Delivered their dark report
The Demon waved in the smoke his hand,
And gave a triumphant snort.
"This news" he yelled, "s the best I've heard
Since sin on the earth began
The work favor goes bravely on,
The model Republic is dead and gone,
And the powers that govern at Washington
Have adopted my patent plan"
Then, turning to Moloch, His Darkness said,
I'm of for the Ten-mile Square;
Rule thou, old boy, in thy masters stead,
While see TO business there"
The blackamoor courtiers, one and all,
Applauded their chief like mad
So he changed his shape, as the Devil can,
And up to the earth on a ire-streak ran,
In outward seeming Congressman,
OF the lovely genius Rad.
OF COURSE, his Blackness was well received
By his troop of special friends,
Who laid before him the plans conceived
To compass their private ends.
Thad. Stevens, Sumner, and Old Ben Wade,
Ned Stanton and Butler too,
They told him Of lodges plots and schemes,
Atrocious beyond his foulest dreams,
Until he exclaimed, "For me it seems
There is nothing on earth to do"
So he turned on his heel and went his way,
A sadder a wiser sprite,
Observing, "a lesson I've learned to-day,
That has changed my purpose quite
meant to have had these fellows souls,
When from earthly bonds set free,
But now prefer they should go it alone,
In a separate private hell Of their own,
For l swear by my horns and tail, and throne,
They're little too much for me-"
