WALNUT STREET PRESBYF ERIAN
CHURCH.

On Wednesday night last, there
was an interesting and important
congregational business meeting of
the Walnut Street Presbyterian
Church and Congregation. Mr.. John
Shanklin was called to the Chair, and
Mr. T. W. Turner acted as Secretary.
The special object Of the meeting
vas stated BY Mr.. Samuel Orr to be
the filing of the pastorate of the
Church made vacant By the action of
the Presbytery at its last meeting, and
also to make some substantial express
sion of esteem and appreciation of
3he services of the late Pastor, Rev.
William H. McCarer, at whose re-
quest the Presbytery dissolved the re-
lation which had so long existed be-
tween him and this people.
Major Blythe Hynes moved that
" Call to the vacant pastorate be
made to Rev. J. P. E. Kumler, of
Oxford, Ohio, and in presenting his
name as suitable person to occupy the
position, took occasion to refer to the
hong and faithful Iabors ofRev. Mr., Nc
Carer, and paid an eloquent and Justly
deserved tribute to his worth as a
Christian minister and citizen, to
his successful work in the congrega.
ton, and to the universal esteem en-
fertained for him by all classes of the
community. His remarks were
strongly endorsed by Col. c. H. But
ferfeld, Mr.. D. G. Marks, and other
gentlemen.
The name Of no other minister was
presented, and Mr.. Kumler was Sc
1ected with such a degree of unanimity
as evidenced the hearty desire of the
congregation to welcome him to
the new field of labor to which he is
called. Messrs. William Baker and
Samuel Orr were appointed to pre-
pare and prosecute the Call, and it is
earnestly hoped that they will be sue
cessful in inducing Mr.. Kumler to
accept.
Mr.. Orr stated that the salary Of
The late Pastor was paid up in full
but that the Church owed to him a
larger debt than they would ever be

METHODIST GENERAL CONFER.
ENCE.

ENCE.
The important subject disposed of
in this august body the past week has
been the admission of Southern dele
gates, which was decided by the en-
phatic vote of 1913 to Is. This step In
ecclesiastical reconstruction will have
a favorable effect upon political re-
construction, and will bind more
strongly together the loyal people of
the North and South.
The subject of most interest to be
determined is the question of Lay rep
resentation. Very strong influences
are brought to bear upon the Confer
ence in favor of the movement, but
what will be the final action on the
subject is uncertain.
A question which is attracting the
attention of the members Of the de-
nomination in Indiana, is the read
justmeut of the boundary lines of the
Conferences of this State, especially
affecting the city of indianapolis. Tt
is eonjectured by some correspondents
from Chicago that all the Churches
of that city will be placed in the
Southeastern Conference; but this

DR.. Adam Clark said that next to
the Bible the Prayer book was the
book of his understanding and Of his
heart" Many Christian bodies that
once discarded forms of prayer, y
are again resuming their use. 1t is
well known that Wesley prepared a
Prayer-book for Methodists who came
to this country Copies of it are still
preserved as curiosities Of literature
in several libraries of this country.
DR.. Albert Barnes, Of Philadelphia,
has published a volume of Forms Of
Prayer for family use; and quite re-
Gently the Universalist Society Of
New England have issued an edition
of the Book of Common Prayer"
with some verbal alterations, for the
use Of their congregations.
The reason given by the Committee
on Publication for adopting the ven
cradle Common Prayer of the Episco-
pal Church is, that all attempts to
compile better form have been fall
ures."

An important movement has been
started by the Methodist Churches of
New Albany. Upon the suggestion
of the Official Board Of the Centenary
Church of that city, large meeting
of the male members Of all the
Churches of that denomination in
New Albany, numbering five, was
held on the 18th inst, to consider the
following resolutions:
ResolUed. That the pastors and male
members of all the NJ. z. Churches
in New Albany, are cordially invited
and earnestly requested to meet at
Centenary Church on Tuesday even
ing, May 18th, 1853, at % o'clock, to
consult how
FtrSt-To form a closer union be-
tween pastors and members.
SecORd-To devise the best ways
and means to promote Methodism In
our city.
Thtrd-To sustain and promote our
male and female schools; and to at
tend to such other matters of local
and general interest as may present
themselves and be deemed advisable.
A committee of one from each
church was appointed. under each of
the specifications, to prepare plan of
operations, and report at an adjourned
meeting. This is a movement in the
right direction. What all the
churches need is more systematic and
organized practical work to develop
social sympathy and home evangei-
zation.

he sat there doubling at the cross
roads until he died in a wonderful
manner. His village was built on a
cliff in which there were hot springs,
and in which vast quantities of liquid
mud were accumulated. One night
there was a landslip, the village was
overwhelmed, and that chieftain died

ENCOURAGING CHURCH Work
There has been a great revival Of the
Church in the Northwestern part of
the Diocese. The Assistant Bishop
has recently confirmed twenty seven
at Plymouth, twenty-nine at Laporte,
twenty-one at Michigan City, twenty
FIVE at Mishawaka, thirteen at Elk
hart, and twenty three at Goshen.
The Northern Convoeation held its
last meeting at Laporte, on the 22d
and 23d ult. The services were well
attended, and number of interesting
sermons and addresses were deliver
ed. The parish In Laporte, of which
the Rev. f. M. Gregg is Rector, has
made great progress within the past
twelve months. Within this time
forty-six have been confirmed more
than doubling the communion of the
Church.
The congregations are very large,
and the music, which is antiphonal,
is pronounced the best in the Do
cese. The Vestry now talk of cnlarg-
ing the Church edifice and purchas-
ing a new organ, during the present
season.

into which the expedition was subdivided.
This party carried on its operations al
Port Clarence. which they reached by
water on the 10th Of September. 1866.
Sixteen miles Of telegraph were completed
before the 7th Of December, when the ex.
ccssive cold compelled the working par
ties to return to camp The vessel which
transported the party with its stores and
materials to the place had previously dc.
parted. leaving them alone for The winter.
Four buildings were erected for quarters
--one Of boards Is feet long and l2 feet
wide, with double walls IL feot high,
with space of about 10 inches besseen

built upon this structure. with port holes

telegraph poles and sod, and were eigh-

a SUNDAY SCENES.
The Sabbath here, as in France, is
grand holiday. A few people attend the
churches, dropping in long enough to dip
their fingers in the holy water. making
the sign Of the Cross, and counting their
beads. Last Sunday, Grand Mass was
given for the repose of tho souls Of those
who fell at Montana in defence Of the
Pope, and there was larger attendance
than usual. Come with me to the square
in front Of the Cathedral Around us arc
the old, quaint houses, built when Spain
had her hand on the throat Of Holland.
Inside Of the Cathedral are the maste;-
pieces of Reubens and Vaudy yke; hundreds
of candles are flaming around the high
alter; YOU hear the organs solemn peal
and the chanting Of the priests. Here in
the square are thousands of people in their
holiday clothes.
The laboring men have put on their
best suits; not broadcloth. but plain
blue blouse Of cotton. worth, perhaps. one
franc. 1t is the best they are able to
wear. Life is battle with them. They
work hard week in and week out to OBJ
tain food. 1t is great day for dogs. A
great many in the crowd have puppies.

shops are all open, clerks are bending
over the counters; bankers counting thor
money. The great bell of the cathedral
has swung iu its lofty tower calling the
people to worship, but they don't 60 !:
