Departures from the Faith.

The Rev. B. F. Pinkerton was at one time q
minister, and foreign missionary Of the United
Presbyterian Church. de became Plymouth
brother" and left the service of the United Pres
byterian Church He, towever, was so Jealous
in the incubation of tn sentiments which he
adopted that he won oil rs to the same faith, and
among others the Rev. a. H. Rule, who was
minister of the United Presbyterian Church, and
missionary in Egypt Through the influence Of
these converts, the Uuted Presbyterian says,
That a number of the members especially in the
region of Vinton, Iowa, have been very much dis
turbed and the churches troubled" At the same
time that we read this announcement we read the
following item in one of cur exchanges, showing
that the tendency above noted Is not confined to
the United Presbyterian Church.
THE Rev G. o. Barnes, formerly missionary
to India, has jured tie faith of the Presbyterian
Church, and united with the Plymouth brethren.
He will not commune with other Christians or take
part in their worship He breaks bread every
Sabbath morning with his own family, and will
not preach before noon, when at home. He de.
nounces all church organizations Theological Sem
;naries, Sabbath Schools, etc. l would not be in
the Presbyterian Church, said he last Sabbath,
for ten thousand worlds. He Is daily looking
Tor the second coming of Christ, and says that all
those terrible judgments OF God, which are COM
ing upon the earth, will be visited upon the house
of God, the church. "-PreSbyterian.

Twistioal-The following is clipped from the
Southern Chwchn1an Strange thata worldly policy
or cunning of this sort should be commended,
when it ought to be condemned. Our Episcopal
brethren have churches named after Apostles,
saints and angels. They sometimes name them
after historical events in Scripture, such as The
Church of the Aununciation, or The Church Of
the Ascension" Would it not be appropriate to
call this one in California, The AccommOda-
ton"-as it seems to have been organized, so far
as baptism is concerned, on the principle Of" As
YOU like it. Read the account below:
"If immersion were not allowed as mode Of
BAPTISM by the Episcopal Church in certain cases,
one of it's pioneer olergymen in California would
have found it difficult to prosecute his work sue
cessfully in YolO county, at least AT Woodland
the couuty-Sest, he found the Campbelites"
strong aud well established, having a collegiate In
stitution there which gave them prestige. More
recently the Second Adventists' arrived, and as
thew. too, baptized by immersion, they soon mum
bered their converts by scores aud excitement ran
bigb, creating illfeehng between them and the
Campbelhtes. When the Episcopal brother came
on the ground, he found the whole atmosphere, as
il were, saturated with immersion, and his only
course was to baptize according to the popular
ideas before he could hope to gather an Episcopal
audience. He has accordingly immersed some
candidates, and now feels that Woodland has the
nucleus of an Episcopal parish,

National Arbitration The statement below il
one of the most encouraging signs OF the times
The time is coming when war will not be "a game
for kings to play at just when they please
Nothing has ever before been done which shows
such an advanced state of public sentiment this
vote in the British House of Commons:
In the House of Commons on the Sth instant,
Mr. Richards, member for Merthyr Tydvi and
Secretary of the London Peace Society, moved
that, in the opinion Of the House, Her Majesty
Government should communicate with foreign
powers for the purpose of improving international
law, and with the view of establishing arbitration
as permanent resort for the settlement of differ
ences between nations.
Mr.. Richards spoke in support of his motion,
and said he had received large number Of letters
from America expressing sympathy with his prop
osition. He proceeded TO show that the dagger of
war kept 000,0 600 of men armed annually in
Europe, rendering necessary taxation of 81 900 =
coo 600, and the payment OF yearly interest on
war debts of $3.50 600 600. In addition to this the
value of labor Withdrawn from industry was valued
at 81, 250 600 600 In Germany the CONSUMPTION
forced an emigration which was depopulating the
country, and Russia, France, and Italy were fnan-
caly crippled by the expense Of their vast military
establishments
Mr.. Gladstone opposed the motion, and argued
that it would defeat It's own object because the
continental nations held widely different views on
the same subject. He asked the gentleman to
withdraw his motion, but Mr.. Richards declined
to do so. and the House divided resulting in a tie
yeas 90, nays 9S. The Speaker gave his casting
vote in favor of the motion, which was adopted.

How to Receive Truth.-The venerated Thomas
Binney, of the Congregational Church in London,
was preaching the other Sunday in Presbyterian
chapel, when he referred to some words quoted
from Lord Russell, in reference to the fact that
Christianity was sealed aud attested by the death
of Christ" Lord Russell had said that Jesus
did not show in his behavior when about to die
the philosophic eQuanimity of Socrates the patri
otto serenity of Regulus, or the proud defiance of
Algernon Sidney" NO. added Mr.. Binney,
she did not. 1t is true, mysterious truth, the
wonderful way in which the Lord suffered at the
end of His ministry on earth" Mr., Binney then
gave expression to feelings with which many an
older Christian will sympathize:
Il look Oh the historical fact as l look on the
persop OF Jesus. The Word was made flesh.
The body enshrues the divine being; the hlstori
cal fact eushrines the divine idea-the divine doc
thine. am tired Of hearing about the rationale
of this doctrine aud the other; am tired Of hear
log about the philosophy OF the plan Of salvation.
wish to speak simply of divine facts on authority,
and to lay them on my heart--tO receive and rest
upon them, because God has set them forth and
given me a promise to be satisfied 0y faith, and not
by understanding. am too old to waste your
time or my own by treating you to d. questions as
to the philosophy, and all that sort OF thing.
am so old that am willing to take the kingdom OF
God as the little child.

efforts as may be in their power to increase its cir

Chinese Church.

The San Francisco Occident gives some interest
ing statements about this people. 1t says:
GA most unexpected and glorious result seems
likely to be interviewer with the opposition and
wrongs flung upon the Chinese on our coast-a
revival Of religion--if there is an proprety ID
calling that revival which is really beginning.
The Chinese are no fools. They are deeply struck
with the contrast between the treatment they re
ceive from Christs servants and the devils ser
wants. By the latter they are abused. hated,
derded, and, when possible, outraged. BY the
former they are kindly treated, are instructed.
are encouraged in every good word and work,
while their sins are reprOved and every effort
is made to lead them to fear God and keep his
commandments The great law of right, impressed
by God on every human heart, tells them that
Christianity Is true and as fast as they become
thoroughly instructed they manifest their deep In
terest in the Gospel Among this class great
deal % ao-; e7e- prevails. The accession to the
Chuese Vi ~ mentioned in another column, is
an indicat "a .0e progress Of the work. Ii
these people we're OILY instructed. We believe they
would turn by hundreds and thousands to Christ.
From among these young converts may God raise
up many to become ministers and teachers OF
Christ.
The following is taken from another column Of
the same paper:
Sunday June 10Th. lay of profound IN
terest among our Chies 1ro1hren on this coast,
and is calculated. just at this time, to reanimate
the faith OF many Christians ready to fail under
the obloquy with which the idea of the conversion
of this people is received. On the evening Of
that day eleven of the brightest most intelligent
and best educated of the Chinese youth in this
city, declared their profession of Christ were bap-
tized and received the sacrament of the Lord s
Supper in the Chinese church of our Misslsn.-
There are others of these youth who are deeply
anxious upon the subject of religion and are en-
gagged in studying the way of salvation. The fruits
of the labors in the Mission and the Sabbath
Schools are at last beginning to appear to gladden.

all to renewed efforts.

ARRESTED.
An Hour Of Agony i'm the pres
eSscc 81 7ttnOccncc-A Scene
in the Mayors Office.

A few days ago, the lot of car
penter tools stolen in Sept. 1871,
from Archer, Carmack & Dewald,
and worth $500, was found in
possession of Henry Click, resi-
dent of Bristol. He claimed that
they had been left in his possess
ion by an unknown party on the
30th Sept. 1871, and that they had
not been called for. Click was
preparing to remove to Mississippi,
and was taking the tools with him.
He was arrested and taken before
the Mayor Of Goodson. While the
trial was progressing quite a dra-
matte and touching scene occurred.
His wife came into the Mayors
office with their little boy, hand
some little fellow, aged about three
years. He threw himself npon the
prisoner with most indiscribable
and unbOunded manifestations of dt-
light and affection, and by his win
ming prattle and exhibitions of pure
unsophisticated tiIlial love, took
down the house. There we're
strong men present who shed tears
at the sight. The case looked ug-
ly for the parent, and he was pa
rolled until to-day at 3 o'clock P.
NJ, but rumor says he babe fare
well last night to wife and cherub,
is to-day far on his way South,
leaving them to follow on. Even
thus we must say that it is now as
in other days of mans history,
"the way of the transgressor is
hard.
OF those who witnessed the ex-
animation, not one seemed to think
him innocent, but innocent or gull
", he shed food of tears which
seemed bitter enough for repen-
lance.

The whole of his large stock of goods,
recently transferred from yno. a.

No. 4, and with the exception of Hard
ware and Groceries is very complete.
The two latter items he does not mean

attention from Mr.. Jno. A. James,
who will very soon have a stock, ex-
clusively of dry goods and notions at
the corner. Mr.. James sells his goods
quite low.
