from recent circular that the ak thousand
dollars required has not yet been raised, and
that the Rev. Mr.. Davis Is still dong all he can
to obtain help outside the parish. He aud his
people make urgent appeals to their friends
who sympathize with them, and who approve
OF the teachings there delivered, to help them
and their rector in the present emergency. =,
The Church OF the Reconciliation Is the
beautiful name of a new organization which
has been recently accomplished. The new
parish is the result of efforts that have been
made by various parties to make st. Andrews
Mission Chapel an independent church. Various
correspondents have referred to the eXertious
OF all the ministers who have had this mission
in charge. Tue last notice given of movements
in this quarter of the city was joined with
apprehension that the chapel would fall
under influences adverse TO Gospel
simplicity. It was, intimated that certain
from starting a new st. Albans's would
obtain control of the mission and turn the
organization to account. But the worshippers
there, the laymen, were firm in resisting all
approaches, and have now organized III such q
way that the introduction of Rtualism, "horid
worship" "ornate Ceremonials," "CatnoiC
usages y one and all, will be quite remote. We
are informed that the parent church has con-
scnted to the election OF a yestry by the people,
SAID vestry being pledged against the Intro
duction OF Ritualism, and receiving for three
years an annual appropriation of $500 from
three years the parish shall become strong and
successful, the property will be made over to
them. The vestry was accordingly elected
on that basis, and at their FIRST meeting elected
the Rev. John Wright, who has been preaching
in the chapel, as their rector. They are now
fairly under way, and we trust may not ouly
hold forth the word OF recohcnialion, but eXpe'
rtcnCe the divine power OF the Holy Spirit TO
make it effectual to the conversion aud saliva
tion of Chrisps sheep. No reconciliation with
false doctrine, nor with Rttualsm in lis roots,
doctrines. usages, or manners. No peace with
it, 10 compromise with it's teachings, but such
q clear testimony to the truth, and such
determined adherence to simplicity OF worship,
that there shall be no room for entrance TO the
uuhoy unscriptural, and doomed sYstcm.-

PRESBYTERIAN.
Tie Rev. Horace G. Hovey, of the Second
Presby terian Church OF New Albany, Indiana,
has accepted a call to the Fulton Street Pres
byterian Church, Peoria, Illinois, TO which city
he will remove about March l.
The Board of Foreign Missions have been
constrained, by the worn-do Tn condition Of
of the Girls School IN the mission at Sealkote,
to appoint Miss NJ. e. Welsh, of Westminster
College, sNew. Wilmington, in this State, to go
out TO her relief.
The Presbytery Of South Carolina, at their
last meeting, received petition from the citi-
zens of Walhalla, S. c., with 6fty signatures,
including Presbyterians, Lutherans, Baptists.
and Methodists, requesting the organization of
Presbyterian church in that place. A COM
mittee was appointed to respond to this petition,
and last month a church of sixteen members
was duly organized III w WalhaEa,
The old Spring Street Church, New York,
Las gratifed Its we'll wishers, and set a good
example to younger organizations. The latter
by calling a pastor so quickly after the resig-
nation of Mr.. Wilson. and the former by
making choice of so excellent and able a
minister as the Rev. William Aikman, late of
Wilmington ,Dela ware, though native OF New
| York city.
| The Reunion Committee of the New School
| Presbytenans have agreed TO suggest to the
| presbyteries to vote at their spring meetings to
| strike out from the Basis the amendments which
| define the sense in which the standards are TO
be interpreted and also the tenth article, which
| ass erts the right to examine ministers moving
| from one to another presbytery on the ques-
| ton of their doctrinal soundness. Some of
| the Old School Presbyterians say that a
much better plan would be to omit all the
articles except the first, which adopts the COM
mon standards, and leave all details to the
| uIited General Assembly, which will be abun-
| dainty competent to manage them. The New
| School party are more doubtful how far it will
| be wise to trust without the united body in
| which there will be minority. DR.. Breckeu-
! ridge of Kentucky writes to the Northwestern
| Presbyterian that he and his friends will not
| JON the united body. Whether he contemplates
| Joining the Southern Presbyterians, or will add
| another to the already confusing Presbyterian
factions, he does not intimate.-Lndependent
