They reached their destination, Campinas, on the

dents A brief note says:
"On the Sabbath proceeding our departure
attended, in company with Mrs NJ, the American
chapel, found pretty good congregation in at
tendance, and heard a sermon in Portuguese AT
night. the United States Minister, Mr.. Blow, to
whom brother NJ. had letters, requested him to
preach at his house. There were about 40 persons
present. Mr.. Blow was very cordial, and appeared
to be gratifed that we had come as missionaries.
Mr.. Carlos Nathan, who is great friend to the
Soutberners, and who was very kind to US, accom-
panied US to the steamer, and rendered US good
service in having our baggage forwarded without
extra charge MesSrs. Chamberlain and Black

Presbytery of Ouachita

There were present twelve ministers, and twelve
ruling elders.
Rev. j. NJ. Brown was elected Moderator, anG
Rev. Thomas NJ. Boyd Temporary Clerk
Mr. Samuel II. Chester was received under the
care of Presbytery as a candidate for the gospel
ministry.
The reports from the churches on the state Of
religion were generally favorable. In some of the
churches decided religious interest has existed
for some tlme and to six of these churches about
one hundred and thirty members have been added
on profession of their faith since last April.
The following paper was adopted as the deliver
ance of this Presbytery on popu lar amusements
Whereas it is evident to this body, that sinful
amusements, especially that Of dancing, prevail to
an alarming extent in our country, and also in the
visible Church.
And, Whereas, the dance, especially in some Of
its forms, as we believe tends to worldlness, van
lty, lrreligon, immortality and righteousness wholly
Inconsistent with the Christian character and con-
duct, and dangerous to female modesty and virtue
Therefore,
ResOlued, That this Presbytery, in accordance
with repeated deliyerances Of our General Assem-
bly,, do now enioiu upon our ministers and church
sessions to set before their people clearly, plainly
and earnestly the evils of this amusement, urging
them to avoid that which is most certainly dis.
pleasing to God; kindly warning them of the con-
sequences of participating in it; and, if necessary
proceed to the exercise of such discipline as shall
exclude from the Church all who give evidence
that they prefer the world to the love and service
of God.

1888, in Lincoln county, in the State of n Carroll
ma His father, John Wilson, was born in Penn
sylvania, of ScotchIrish ancestry; his mother, Of
Welch origin, was also born in Pennsylvania. DR.

after making some progress at this and other
schools in the same State, he entered Washington
College at Lexington, Va, then under the Presi
dency of Rev. George A. Baxter, where he pur-
sued his studies with such diligence as seriously to
impair his health, so seriously, indeed, that he
might be said never to have recovered entirely
from the effects of the disease which then pros
trated him.
On receiving the degree of Bachelor of Arts. he
put himself under the care of the Lexington Pres
bytery as candidate for the ministry and began
course of reading under the direction first of DR..
Baxter and then of Rev. Samuel Brown, of New
Providence. He was licensed to preach the gospel

FROM THE N ORTHERN STATES.

The General Assemblies of the Old and New School
Presbyterian Churches are to meet in Pittsburg,
November 10th. The answers to the Reunion
Overture, sent to the Presbyteries in May last,
will there be ascertaned and the union no doubt be
consummated.
A change is suggested in the ratio and mode of
representation in the United General Assembly
Six hundred commissioners would make too large
body for the despatch of business, and also too
many for any, save large cities, to entertain. The
suggestion is, that the Form of Government"
shall be so modified as to have commissioners to
the General Assembly appointed by the Synods,
and upon an enlarged ratio of representation.
