FOREIGN ITEMS.

Rev. Charles S. Robertson, D. D., is greatly
prOspered In the American chapel in the city
of Paris. The liturgy formerly in use has been
laid aside, and the service is sich as is usual in
the Congregational and Presbyterian churches
The chapel is full, great interest is taken in
the advancement of religious work
The cheering news from Spain has been the
absorbing topic of the foreign news for the
week past The Provisional Government is
moving on calmly and wisely establishing not
only order but civil and religious liberty. The
change and its mode seem almost incredible,
and prove that the people of Spain were much
better prepared to establish and enjoy their
freedom than was supposed. The revolution
is quietly accepted in Cuba.
The Atlantic Cable of 1866 between Newfound-
land and Ireland, which was injured and gave
out some weeks since, has been repaired and
is now in use and in perfect order.
Fear for the Church of England.-A distin-
guished clergyman of the Diocese Of Salisbury,
who writes to the London Times under the
signature of S. G. D. Sidney Godolphin Os
borne declares that from the anarchy now
reigning in the Church of England, and the
growing tendency Romeward, in defiance OF
authority, formulas, and canons, there is rea-
son to fear revolution, unless the Lord should
put it into the hearts of those who have the
power to prevent it by thorough internal re
form.

Presbytery of Memphis.

The PreSbytery of Memphis held its fall
meeting in La Grange, October LIST to the Sd,
and there was very good attendance of both
ministers and elders. The following items OF
general interest were transacted.
Rev Collin Mckinney was received from
the Presbytery of Pennsylvania.
A new church organized in the city of Mem.
phis, called the Alabama street church, and a
call for the pastoral services of the Rev. j.
y. Stedman, ID. d. was received and placed
in his hands. Also, call from the Bolivar
church for the pastoral services of the Rev.
Francis p. Mutually, which was placed in
brother NJ. hands, who obtained leave to re
tain the call till the Spring meeting of Pres.
bytery.
A call was also presented by the First Pres
byterian church, Memphis, for the pastoral
services of the Rev. F. H. Bowman, of Lex,
ington Presbytery, and the church had per
mission to prosecute said call before that Pres
bytery.
Rev. George A. Russell, of SOmerville, Ten
nessee, was elected corresponding member OF
the Committee Of Publication in the place of
the Rev. W A. Sample. Ii was
Resdtred, That hereafter this Presbytery
will not sanction or ratify any call made by
any church for the pastoral services of any
minister without the fullest assurance thar the
pecuniary obligations of such churches to
their former pastor have been fully discharged
The following supplies to vacant churches were
appointed: Rev. A. II. Kerr, ID. D., preach
one Sabbath in First church, Memphis; Rev.
MeSsrs. William A. Hall and John s. Park,
each one Sabbath in Third church, Memphis !;

Rev. Messrs j H. Gray, ID. D., and G. Me
Kinney, each one Sabbath at Ebenezer; and
each minister in supplying these vacant
churches is directed 10 take up collection for
one Of the objects Of benevolenee.
PIesbytery expressed its hearty approval Of
the several papers, as TO the requirements
made of Presbytery and the churches by the
late General Assembly, giving it as the sense
of this Presbytery, that section w., chapter
TO- ought TO be stricken out, and that each
church Is entitled to an independent represen-
tatiOn in Presbytery and Presbytery only ex
cepts to some phraSeOlOgy on the subject OF
Systematic Benevolepee, where che words
Directory for the OblatiOn are used, which
this Presbytery cannot approve of, as the
phraseolOgy is liable to serious objection. The
Presbytery would prefer as substitute, Free
will offerings Of the people, and would re-
commend TO the next General Assembly a
modification Of the Objectionable phraseolOgy
that unity and harmony of the whole Church
may be promoted.
Presbytery will hold its next stated meeting
at ,MaSOn Depot, on Thursday before the
third Sa.bath in April, 1869, at O'Clock, p.

Rest in peace, sweet babe, "for OF such is the

DR.. BENJAMIN EPEs, prominent citizen of
Sussex, Va, died at his residence, October 18th,
after lingering illness. He was very intelli
gent gentleman, and no man stood higher In the
respect and esteem of his countrymen. He was
about fifty years of age
Died. on the 21st ult. near Newport, KY,
JAMES T. BoUDE, Esq, in the 73d year of his
age.
Mr. Boude had been member of the Presby
terrain church for the last twenty-five years. He
was not only member of that body, but use
full, consistent, and exemplary member as well ;
and he died, as he had for many years lived, a
Christian, full of faith, and hope, and doubt
less now enjoys "the rest that remaineth for
the people of God"
]. MORRISON SMITH peacefully departed this
the first born of Rev. B. NJ Smith, D.. D., and
Mary M. Smith, and bore the name of his
mothers father, the Rev. James Morrison.
He was carefully brought up sin the nurture
and admonition of the Lord" and while yet a
youth at Hampden Sidney College was received
into full communion of the Church in which, as
a child of the covenant, he had been born.
He entered, with many other young men of
the College, into service as soldier, near the
beginning of the war, and as far as feeble
health permitted, remained till it was ended.
Having desire to preach "the unsearchable
riches of Christ" he entered Union Theological
Seminary, and had advanced far in the course
of preparation for the work of his high calling
in the ministry, when its further progress was
arrested by the power of disease. Fatal con-
sumption had long marked him for its own
Through all its stages of WEAKNESS and pain, he
was patient and resigned to the will of God. 1t
is enough to say that a consistent Christian life
was closed in that hope which is San anchor to
the SOUL sure and stedfast." Thus, while his
earthly expectations were blasted, it was only
that what is ''laid up in heaven" might be real
lied perfectly and forever. The greatest work
given any mortal by God, is to prepare, in this
short lite, for that which shall never end. If
that is accomplished, the earliest death is not
premature.
Let this brief notice suffice for the public eye.
Deep in hearts that are bleeding in sorrow, will
long rest the memory of one they so much loved,
and over whose sick bed fond affection kept It's
long and ceaseless watch But God gives them
unspeakable comfort in looking back upon the
past and looking forward to the future. Them
that sleep in Jesus will God bring with him"
According to his own desire, his remains were
buried in the graveyard of New Providence
church, Rockbridge COMMUNICATING thus with
kindred dust till "this mortal shall put on i'm
