PRoF. GEO. w Hoss, in an article
in the Western Christian AdUocate,
uses the following language:
g In the Constitution of the United
States, there is a singular and note
worthy absence of any direct recogni-
ton of God or religion. While we
are of those who regret this absence.
we can not attribute it to any irrelig-
ious spirit In the trainers of the Con-
stitution.
Does the Professor not recognize in
the following portion of the Consti-
tuition a recognition of both God and
the Christian religion:
Done In Convention by the unani-
NOUS consent of the States present,
the seventeenth day of September, in
the year of OUR LORD, one thous-
and seven hundred and eighty-seven,
and of the independence of the United
States of America the twelfth, &C.?
To our mind it is the strongest kind
Of recognition.
EARLY CONvERsIoNs.-The follow
ing interesting fact relating to early
conversions was brought out in ire
Spouse to suggestion by Dr. r. s.
Foster, at the New York preachers
meeting, held in the chapel of the
Book Room on Monday, 10th inst.
OF the seventy-six preachers present
there were converted: Under IA
years, 20; IA and under IS years, %;
is and under Is years, il; Is and uu-
der 81 years, ID; p and over, only z.
A single fact like the above. says the
Christian Advocate, speaks volumes
in favor of early conversion and early
religious training. Let the Church
care for the children. and in due time
they will care for her.
The ADvANoE.-The new Congre-
gational paper, with this title, recent
ly started at Chicago, gives evidence
of prosperity. as it well deserves. We
regard it as one of the best of our
religious exchanges. The last num-
Der is capital one. Among the no.
ticeable articles are some very inter-
esting "reminiscences of William B.
Bradbury-telling how the Cantata of
Esther was written-by his old asso-
ciate, G. NJ. Cady; trenchant article
on Congregational Singing or None,
by Prof. Nathan Sheppard; some
spicy Gossip about Sunday Schools,

nightly in the Baptist, Ingle Street,
Trinity. and German Methodist, and
Cumberland Presbyterian Churches,
during the past week. Considerable
interest is manifested in some of the
congregations, and a number of con-
versions are reported, but no general
revival spirit is being manifested.
The Rev. Mr.. Van Antwerp, who
has been called to the Rectorship of
St. Paul's (Episcopal) Church, has
telegraphed that the call being so un-
expected, he must take few days for
consideration. From his high repu-
tation, we hope he may decide to ac-
cept.
Nothing definite can be stated as to
when the Church of the Holy Iuno-
cents will be consecrated. The formal
application has been made to Bishop
Uphold to fix date, and he has prom
ised to do so. The presumption is
that it will be Immediately upon the
return of Bishop Talbot from the
meeting at the House of Bishops,
which takes place in New York on
the 9th inst. The delay is unfortun-
ate for there is every indication of a
large congregation, could regular SER
vice be held. The numbers, both of
teachers, children and visitors hav-
ing been greater on the last Sunday
than any previous one, since the
Church has been used for Sunday
School purposes.
1t will be seen by notice above that
the Sabbath School of the Walnut
Street Presbyterian Church will OBJ
serve its Anniversary to- morrow af-
ternoon. We have been shown the
programme, which is quite neat and
attractive, having the Order of Exer-
cises, the Statistical Report of the
School, the list of scholars who have
gained prizes and are on the merit
roll, and also fine and very correct
engraving of the church. 1t will be
an attractive memento for both schol-
ars and friends, and will be well worth
attending the exercises to secure it.
The Cumberland Presbyterian con-
gregation are having a series of very
pleasant social gatherings at the
houses of the different families of the
Church during the Winter. The last
sociable was held at the residence of
Mr.. Levi Igleheart, and was most
agreeable gathering, The next will
be held, we believe, at the residence
of Mr.. w. F. Nisbet, on First Street
The Mite Meeting of st. Paul's
Episcopal Church will take place on

to be followed by Lunch on Tuesday.
at the usual hours.
Rev. G. f. Pentecost is absent from
the city, on a visit to New Orleans.
The regular services Of his Church
will not be suspended during his
absence.

So much has been said lately res

loose assertion on the subject is daily
hazarded that the following is sub

parts of the world which may be COM

conceded by nearly every one that the contest was

The vote for Gov. FentOn surprised everyone OUT

that he would poll the large vote that ne uiu'

This delegation stood by him more maniully thah
any other delegation in the Convention did by their
favorite. They were not overawed by the excite

Opposed to the Governor delegation COM

like beavers to defeat him.
The Louisiana delegation was the first to desert
the Governor and the gentlemen named aDoVe are

National Convention Next came New-York The
Hon. Lyman Tremaine rose, and in most elo-
quent and Mandatory speech nominated Gov. Fenton
of New-York. The nomination was seconded by
Louisiana and portion OF Illinois, and was received
with enthusiasm. James Speed of Kentucky, A. G.
Curtin of Pennsylvania, Hannibal Hamlin of Maine,
Senator Harlan of Iowa. Senator Pomeroy of Kansas,
ex-senator Cresswell of Maryland, and John d. Kelly
of Pennsylvania also placed on nomination, ont
of compliment only. The speeches accompanying
these nominations consumed deal Of time, and
many of the delegates, impatient for ballot began
to cry down the orators. Just before the NOM
nations were closed, Gen. Sickles sup
ported the nomination of Gov Fenton
in strong terms In the Of his remarks he had
occasion to mention the name of Edwin ~ Stanton,

be corrected. Twas done. and at the same time,
Mr. Jones' of the Ohio delegation, sought to be recog

appeais. and called upon Gen. Sckles to perform
that duty. The Char recognized him. and he made
a motion that the nomination be made unanimous.
