society is asking this year for the additional
amount Of $4,000 for the education OF young men
for the ministry. There is evidently something
wrong here, either on the part OF the clergy, the

BAPTIST.
Five Baptist churches in Philadelphia report an
aggregate accession of members on profession OF
faith OF thirty-One not heretofore reported. Four
were added to the church In Chester, Pa, on Sun
day last; thirty-one have united with the Baptist
church in Linesve, Pa, the result in part of
eight weeks meeting held there; nine have been
added to the church in Providence, Pa, one Of
whom Is reported as Methodist preacher. The
First and Union Baptist churches OF Pttsburg, Pa,
have united their feeble forces In one strong
church, to be known the Fourth avenue Baptist
church of that city. Six persons were baptized in
the church last week. Rev. A. Wilson has resigned
the pastorate Of the Salem Baptist church of West
Newton, Pa. Twenty-Five have joined the Baptist
church in Franklin, Ind, since January.
The Baptist church In Madison, Ind, has called
Rev. B. F. Cairns, OF vincennes, to be their pastor.
There is remarkable Baptist preacher in Baltimore,
Rev. DR.. Fuller by name. He is pastor OF the
Eutaw place church. He has provoked q cOntro-
versy with his church, who insist on increasing his
salary, while he peremptorily declines the in
crease. We doubt il a companion preacher can be
found for him in the country. In McGranvile,
n. Y, forty have been seeking pardon, and many
have believed and united with the Baptist church
there. At Jericho, N. Y, seven have recently pro-
fessed faith in Christ Twenty-Five inqulrers have
attended meetings in PembertOn, N j., most OF
whom have been converted. Seventeen have
united with the Baptist church in Columbus Ohio,

clares that the cause OF the trouble which closed
his schools for while was his distribution OF BIZ

draw from the Vatican mission and to teach or
binary things in his other schools and he should
have no further ANNOYANCE. He declined.
