A wE1L-TIMEp DEFENCE.

A writer in the Southeastern Presbyterian has,
for some months past, given an article weekly I'M
der the signature of $ Pfesbyter, which we have
read with interest, and which must have engaged
the attention of many. Under the general head
ing Of" Overture of the Northern Old School
General Assembly to the Southern Considered, y
the whole subject of our relations to that body is
examined. Their past action towards US, their
injurious and sanderous accusations against us
their betrayal of important fundamental principles,
are discussed in manner revealing the hand of a
master. The utter impossibility of our uniting
with that Church, especially since their recent
union with the New School, is set forth plainly,
faithfully, and decidedly.
The last number in the series which has reached
us is the fifteenth, and it is understood that the
whole will be included in two or three more. This
is not only very able defence of our position as
Church, but very timely one also. There are not
a few indications of purpose on the part OF
Northern Presbyterians to endeavor once more to
push themselves into the South. Hitherto their
efforts have been notifying failures, so much so in
many eases as to be even ludicrous. At no time
have they been able to gain any respectable foot
hold in the Southern States, and they have now
less, except among the negro population, than
they had four years ago. As to their efforts for
the eyangeization of that Glass; we shall have oc-
easion to speak more at large next week-our re-
marks are at present confined to the white popula-
ton. They have felt stung by the reflection that
they are sectional Church. After all the efforts
made, they have, within the last four years, lost
heavily of what they had in the South, and we have
gained heavily by it. Since their recent union
with the New School, the idea of propagandism
has been revived. A minister, perhaps the most
prominent of all in the movements Of recent years,
took occasion to say not long ago to friend of
ours, that it was the expectation of the united
Church to absorb u.s. We have, some time since,
fully stated to our readers what on the part of the
movers in it, was the declared purpose in framing
the overture for union at their last General Assem-
bly,, namely, that if we did not accede to it, to pro
duee a division amongst as. He that is fore
warned, is fOre.armed. " 1t is nevertheless word
in due season that has come in these articles from
the pen of "Presbyter" in the South western
Presbyterian. We have no fears of these boasts Of
eating us up. We are used to such things, HE
that lives in the woods should not be frightened by
owls" Yet, it is well for our people to have the
means at hand of repelling all assaults. For this
end we hope to see the pieces referred to gathered
up, and put into volume, with copious index
by which any one of the important facts and ar
guments introduced canin moment be found. 1t

Monthly Concert.

From the December number of The Missionary
We deem it necessary, even at the risk of being
considered over-earnest, to call the attention OF
ministerial brethren, once more to the very impor-
tant matter of resuming among their people the
monthly concert of prayer for the conversion of the
world Many, we are aware, have done it already
and the universal testimony of all such is that it is
not only comfort to themselves, but source of
spiritual improvement to their people. We would
not have the prayers of God people, on such oc-
casons restricted to the work of foreign MISSIONS
but have them embrace domestic missions, educa-
ton publication, theological seminaries and indeed
all our schemes of benevolence. We have EN-
barked freely and boldly upon all these various eff
forts for building up the Redeemer's kingdom on
earth, and it looks strange, If not presumptuous,
when these united efforts and contributions are un
accompanied by united prayer to God for his bless
ing upon them. Can we reasonably expect his
blessing upon any Of our benevolent enterprises
unless we call upon him and seek his aid and guild
ance?
The time of observing the monthly concert must
of course be left to the convenience of different
congregations But the practice is becoming al
most universal throughout the Christian world Of
observing it on the first Sabbath instead Of the
first Monday OF the month, as was formerly the
more general plan. Some congregations devote
the Sabbath afternoon to the service, whilst others
give the evening. In country congregations, where
the people cannot conveniently come together more
than once on the Sabbath, we have noticed that
half hour before or Immediately after the ordinary
public worship, has been very pleasantly and prof
tably spent in this delightful service Ministers,
by impressing their minds with some of the inter
esting facts contained in the Missionary, and which
is sent to all OF them gratuitously for this very pur
pose, will find it very easy to interest their people
in the great work of evangelizing the nations of
the earth-the very object for which the Church
was instituted. The collections taken up on these
occasions too, will also form an important item in
the funds of the missionary treasury. Indeed, we
confidently believe that if the concert was generally

Recent Missionary Intelligence.

Intelligence has been received, says the Ms
sio1ary for December, from the Choctaw Mission
as late as the I'd of October, and from the Chero-
kee as late as the 2Sth of October. Mr.. Baentine
had just returned from preaching tour to the
Northwestern portion of the Cherokee country,
which he proposes to make the headquarters of his
future missionary labors
GA letter has been received from Mr.. Pratt, Of
the Colombia Mission, as late as the 18th Septem-
Der. With the exception of some suffering en- the
part of Mrs Pratt from neuralgia, the family had
been favored with excellent health. The attend
ance upon preaching on the part Of foreigners had
not been very encouraging, but there we're some
evidences of the presence of the Spirit among the
natives, who were attending the ordinances Of the
sanctuary.
IAN extract of letter from the Rev. G Nash
Morton, dated the 18th of September, published
in our present issue, shows that our missionary
brethren were comfortably located in Campnas,
and would soon be able to enter upon the more
active duties of their missionary work. From a
note dated October 10Th, we learn that Mr.. Nor
ton had been suffering under the process Of acclima
ton. He was rapidly improving at the time of
writing.

Presbytery of Central Ohio

Held an adjourned meeting in Waterford, Knox
county, Ohio November oath. All the ministers
we're present, but only about half the elders per-
haps that ought to have attended. A good deal
of business was transacted, amongst which are the
following items:
Rev. A. NJ. Cowan obtained leave to labor in
Bucyrus until the next meeting of Presbytery.
At the request of the church at West Carlisle,
the Rev. r. Bell was granted leave to labor half
his time at that place; also at the request of the
churches in North Liberty and Bladenburg, the
Rev. C. G. Bomberger obtained leave to labor at
each place half the time, until the Spring meeting
of Presbytery.
A candidate for the Gospel ministry was received
under the care of Presbytery. He is now attend
ing school at Westminster Academy, under the
care of the Rev. r. Morrison.
The following committees of correspondence
were appointed, viz
For Sustentation, the Rev. A. NJ Cowan For
eign Missions, the Rev. G. G. Bomberger Publ
cation, the Rev. r. Bell; and for Education, the
Rev. Robert Morrison.
Rev. G. c. Bomberger from the Committee on
the Minutes of the Assembly, presented the fol-
lowing report, which was adopted, viz:
The attention of the Presbytery is particularly
called to Overture, No. 9: Is it an infraction of
our standards for one Of our ministers to baptize
the infant child of parent, or the ward of a
guardian standing an loco parents, who has not
professed personal faith in Christ, but was bap.
tized in intancyY'
1.-The Committee recommended that the Over
ture be answered in the affirmative, and that the
Assembly would refer the Presbytery making the
Overture, to the following portions of our stan
dards, as reasons for this answer: First Section
iv. of Chapter xviii of the Confession of Faith
secondly, the answer to 166th question of our
Larger Catechism; thirdly, the answer Of the 95th
question Of our Shorter Catechism
Also to the resolution touching Sabbath schools,
found on pages 37S 279 also the action of the As
sembIy on Overture No. g. concerning conformity
to the world and church discipline therefor on pp
800, 39l. These matters we're particularly COM
mended to the consideration of the ministers, ell
! ders and members of our churches.
7 The Committee further recommend the careful
! examination of the Book of Order sent down to
! the Presbyteries by the Assembly, that the Pres
bytery may Understandings make Its decisions in
fregard therelo at its next stated meeting.
The Committee appointed to report on the rela.
ton of ministers to the churches under the care OF
| Presbytery was continued.
A Committee, of which the Rev. A. NJ. Cowan
is Chairman, was appointed to prepare address
to the churches and people in our bounds, in re.
ference to the late union Of the Northern Old and
New School churches.

journed to meet in Bladensburg Ohio, on Wednes-

Presbytery of Central Texas

Met at Waco, October 2Sth. There were pre-
sent Including new members) nine ministers, and
eight of the sixteen churches were represented by
ruling elders.
The Rev. j. A. Smylie was received from the
Presbytery of Tombeckbee, the Rev. }. A. Walker
from the Presbytery of South Alabama, and the
Rev. Robert Mccoy from the Presbytery OF Bethel.
On the report of the Committee on the Minutes
of the General Assembly, the following subjects
were noticed
|. Foreiqn Mssions-The injunction of the As
sembly was reiterated that ministers preach on the
subject, and churches be careful to observe the
monthly concert, and bring this subject to the at
tention of Sabbath Schools.
9. Publications. minister is requested to
endeavor to raise the sum of twenty-five cents
from each communicate in the churches to which
he breaches for the Committee of Publication, this
being about the amount required from the whole
Church to complete the endowment fund OF $780,
600.
3. Attention was called to the day of prayer for
schools and colleges
4 Attention of churches was called to the action
on the subject of colored people.
5. The action on the subject of lay preaching
was disapproved; as it would be more In accord
ance with the Scriptures to encourage into this
work such of our ruling elders as, in the Judgment
of the sessions are capable OF conducting such
services to the edifcation of the people.
6 The injunction of the Assembly upon enforcing
discipline against offences was reiterated.
T. iS,tstentohon-The subject OF providing manses
is specially important here, as land, now compare
lively cheap, will be in short time greatly en-
HANGED in value
Although the Presbytery recognizes practical
difficulty in carrying out the Assembly s plan of
Sustentation in that the sum of seven hundred
and fifty dollars currency is totally insufficient
in many cases to support minister, yet we will
continue to endeavor to raise, as heretofore, sum
equal to one dollar for each of our church men,
bers for this cause
The next meeting is to be held in Austin, at I
P. NJ, on the third Wednesday of April next.
