Synod of Memphis

Met at Bolivar, Tenn, November 4;h. at seven
o'clock, ?. NJ, and after sermon by the Moderator,
Rev. s. |. Reid, from Pslam xvi: g. He shall
set me upon rock" 1t was attended by about
seventy members and deep interest was mani.
tested in all the proceedings.
Brownsville church, in the Presbytery of West
ern District, was chosen as the place, and Thurs
day before the second Sabbath in November, 1875,
at o'clock, Z. NJ, as the time, for the next stated
meeting
The Narrative says: From every direction
comes the report Of good attendance on the preach
ed gospel; growing zeal in increasing the efici.
ency of the Sabbath Schools, in building or repair
ing houses Of worship, aud in efforts to secure pas
tors for vacant fields. An unusually large number
OF new churches have been organised, and of new
pastorates calling for an additional supply of min
listers. The harvest in its righteousness is coming
more fully into view, and the cry is heard Come
over and help US. Send us the living ministry
to show US the way of salvation" Two colored
churches have been organised, and one colored
man ordained to the full work of the ministry
The system recommended by the last Assembly re-
lalve to separate organisations of colored members
seems to be generally approved, or at least quietly
acquiesced in. Aud where the hope of success is
inviting, the Presbyteries do not hesitate in insti
tuting measures looking to the forms ON of con-
gregations on the plan and OF the character above

theory, the fable of apostolic succession-fOr a
more gigantic table never existed-the dogma that
there can be no Church without bishop, the dog
ma which cuts off the whole of Christerdom, ez.
cepting the corrupt Churches of the East and
West, turning them over to the mercy of God. as
one Of the delegation in that body said to Mrs
Tying in the city of Peoria He said that there was
no salvation out of the Church Of Christ. She
knew that his mother had been most sanity wo
man, and yet PRESBYTERIAN. She asked, What.
then, of your mother?' or said he-and let us
believe he was sincere and not acting the hypo
critic o ! said he, drawing his handkerchief out
and placing it to his eyes, and sobbing, my moth
er, must leave her to the uncovenanted mercy of
Cod How different is this manifestation from
that of the reformers of the sixteenth century, who
courted the friendship, society and love of the
great Protestant divines who loved them, who
took John Knox into their counsels to help pre-
pare the revised Prayer Book who in the presence
of Bishop Hall, spoke of the continental Churches
as the dear, sister Churches of the continent I'm.
agine Protestant Episcopal bishop now calling
the Presbyterian and Methodist Churches dear,

Bishop Cummins.
Attitude Of the Reformed and ne Episcopal COmmun-
ions towards othe- churches.

Bishop Cummins reviewed the action of the Pro-
testant Episcopal Convent a in a sermon lately
published. One point was ade with great power.
1t was the attitude assumed BY the Episcopal Con-
vention to the Protestant ministry in New York,
in contrast with that assur ID towards the Greek
Church. He said =" beg you to mark the dii-
ference between the attitude toward the Protestant
Churches about her, and her attitude toward the
Greek Church. On the first dav of the session a
resolution was offered inviting Greek priests to
take seats IN the body of the Convention. Now
remember that there is only one Greek priest in
this country, and he holding service in private
house In this city. The resolution was passed in.

of the members, and recogn zng their equality

REV. DR.. GRASTY.

The pastoral relation between the Rev.
John H. Grasty, D. D., and the Presbyte-
rian church in Shelbyville, KY, has been
dissolved with a view to his accepting call
from the Presbyterian church in Austin,
Texas. The congregation in Shelbyville is
very harmonious and united in attachment
to its pastor, whose administrations there
have been owned of God in guiding it through
a time of much perplexity connected with
the agitations of the Church in Kentucky,
and in building it up in numbers and eti-
cheney.
But Texas presents great field for en-
terprise 1t may be confidently expected
that DR.. Grasty'S removal to Austin will be
followed with happy results to that place,
and that the hands of the brethren in that
Synod will be strengthened by his coming.
The prayers of his many friends in Virginia
and Kentucky will follow him to his new field
and distant home.
- Since writing the above the Shelby
ville Courant is received containing the pro-
ceedings in the congregation and in the Pres
bytery. They contain the very strongest
expressions Of mutual attachment between
pastor and people. The editor of the paper
says;
In the resignation of Rev. DR.. Grasty Shelby
vile loses one of the ablest divines, and most et-
cient pastors, that have given honor aud power to
the Presbyterian church in this unity. Coming
here in trOublcus times, when war engendered pas.
sions and prejudices ran high he took charge Of
one portion OF ruptured church, and from eighty

Transferred FROM " the pent.up Utica of small
country church to the Unlimited field of pastor of
the only Presby terian church of the capital of a
great and growing State, there is every reason TO
hope that his powers will expand accordingly, and
his influence be largely increased in the building up
of Chrst's Kingdom on earth. With him to his
new field of labor he takes the profound respect of
all who know him, and the prayers of his congre.
CATION will follow him. -

FEDERArIvE PRESBYTERIAN COUNCIL

The meeting on this subject, of which no.
tice was given sometime ago, has been held
in New York, and the plan of proposed CO.
operation will be found in another column.
1t seems to be safe, judiciOus plan, and
one that may be useful. When the subject
was before our General Assembly last spring,
it did not meet with the approval. We can
not but think its scope and manner of ope.
ration we're Inexperienced, and it is certain
that the matter will be again brought to the
attention of the Assembly by some of our
own Presbyteries. While retaining our own
organization aud self government intact, it
cannot be supposed that our Southern Pres.
byterian Church would wish to stand aloof
from making common cause with the other
great Presbyterian Communions of the world
in regard to those practical questions in
which they have common interest.

TIMES OF REFRESHING. u

1t is a matter of thankfulness to notice
that a number of our churches have recently
received such good accessiOns. To the church
at Charlotte C. H., of which the Rev. W.
R. Atkinson is pastor, thirty. five were added
on profession, last Sabbath week, and the
interest in the community is represented to
be very great. This is indeed an unspeaka-
bic blessing to that people, and comes to
cheer the hearts of Christians there at
time when in some respects they were ready
to grow faint.
The Third church, Richmond, of which
the Rev. DR.. S. J. Baird is pastor, received
twelve members two weeks ago.
The church in Manchester, under the care
of Rev VIM. A. Campbell, has been holding
some special services which have been much
blessed, and the aecessions well be large.
At Nottoway Court House, the pastor,
DR.. Pryor, mas been holding special services
for some time, and last Sabbath eight per
sons were announced as added to its men,
bers. 1t was interesting to hear the pastor
mention during the administration of the
Lords Supper, that twenty-eight years of
service there were completed that very day.
1t was his first place of ministerial labor
One year had been spent in Baltimore, thir-
teen in Petersburg; and then he returned to
the field be had formerly occupied. May
vigorous, happy and useful old age crown the
life thus spent
la the Valley of Virginia, besides the
places recently mentioned, the churches of
High Bridge, near Lexington, of which Rev.
P. B Price is pastor, and Flncastle in Bot
etourt, under the care of Rev. r. R Hous-
ton, have both been blessed with large ad-
ditiOns.
Lewisburg, West Virginia, has been visited
in mercy, and thirteen were recentlyreceived.
There are other places where tokens of the
special presence of the Holy Spirit are re-
cOgnlzed.
1t would strengthen the faith of other
churches, and quicken them in prayer anG
zeal, if at some proper time brethren would
make known through the press brief &C
count Of the good work which divine grace
has wrought in their behalf. We prefer to
publish them as prepared by the pastors, or
by other competent persons, with their
knowledge.
In the meantime should not the statement
of what is here mentioned lead all our church
es to more earnest prayer to the Father of
mercies that it may please him to carry on
and extend this work where it is begun, and
revive it in all our borders? Itwould be an
infinite blessing to our land. What else
would so coup seraet the error and vice that
are spreading as noisOme pestilence
What else would so effectually tend to heal
the manifold maladies affecting society, and
spread blessing over It's whole face and
through its whole system? 1t is che memo
rial of our God, in all generations, that he is
the nearer of prayer. "At evening tide it
shall be light"

RECENT PUBLICATIONS.
LANGEs COMMENTARY.

The volume of this great work just issued is on
the book of Job-one of the most interesting in the
Bible certainly, but at the same time presenting
passages OF much obscurity. We have here, first a
general Introduction prepared by DR.. Schaf, occu.
plying thirty pages. Then comes a copious Intro
duction of fifty pages by Prof. Taylor Lewis, in
which the "Theism" of the book is deliberately dis.
cussed. This is followed by "rhythmical YER.
sion with critical annotatOns by the same author,
occupying about one hundred pages, to which there
are about fifty pages OF "Audenda-a series of Dis
sertations on the more difficult passages and on
questions of interest suggested by them"
Next comes the main body of the work. After
an Introduction of about sixty pages, we have the
common version with commentary critical, doc
trnal and homoletcaI, occupying about 400 pages.
This is by Prof. Zoeckler of Germany, translated
by DR.. Evans, Professor in Lane Theological Semi
nary.
From this statement it may be inferred that there
is in this volume large amount of learned criti-
csm. There are many points about which different
opinions will be entertained, but still there can be
no doubt that to such have their senses exercised
by reason of use to discern the wheat from the
chat there is greai deal that will be found instruc.
tive and edifyiDg.
Scribner, Armstrong & Co., OF New York, have
brought their great undertaking far on towards It's
conclusion. Ten volumes have been published on
the New Testsment-completing that part. Eight
have been published on the Old Testament, leaving
only three volumes more, viz: Exodus, Leviticus.

Ezekiel one.

work OF DR., Dale on the controverted question of
Baptism. 1t has been looked for with much in.
terest, and from the distinguished ability and sue.
cess with which the author has handled the sub
ect heretofore, it may be expected that he has not
here fallen short of that standard. Having Just
received this ponderous volume, and not being dis
posed to give so important work mere cursory

a little time in which to examine and digest the

The Financial DepressiOn.-The Presbyterian
Board Of Foreign Missions, like others, is feeling
the stringency of the times. Its income for the
past six months has been not quite $9l, 900, a
falling, of for the same period last year of over
$37, 200. The Board says that unless the receipts
for the last half of the financial year are much
greater than they have been this year, it will be
burdened with an unprecedentedly large debt
How great the importance Of selt-denial and lib
crafty. If this spirit pervades the Church the
cause of Foreign Missions will not be left to suffer
among US, as the statement above would lead us
to fear it may do among our brethren of the North
1 RI Church.
