R1TVIVALS AND CONVERSION.". An interesting work of grace has been in progress at Chester, O., for some time. An ! ine reeultof this Awakening. 14 have united -with the Presbyterian Church, N. 8. ' , The Congregational Church at Columbus, 0.,is prospering, spiritually as well as finan- - cially. On the 1st of April, 53 united with the Church, and 30 more are expected to unite with it on the 1st of May, The Sabbath School connected with this Church number 500. . An interesting work of grace Is in pioerees at the Female seminary at tilendale, JO. Quite a number of young ladies have expressed a hope in Chriit, ( i . At a recent comninnion season at the Second Presbyterian Church, at Zanfcsville, O., 30 persons were received into the Church on profession of faith. , Thirty more were added to- .the O. S. Presbyterian Church, at Ports Wayne, at the last communion. ; : The Church at Sterling, Illinois, has been greatly blessed with the revival season. .. On the first of the month eleven persons "united with the Church. i. . .. . A correspondent of the Rochester American Presbyterian reports the recent additions to the Cnurch in that region (Central New York): The Brick Church (Dr. Shaw's) received eighty-five ; the Central Dr.Campbell's), twenty-five; the Plymouth Congref ational, thirteen ; fifty-five were received nto Dr. Heacoek's Church, in Buffalo; forty Into the New School Presbyterian Church in Phelps, on profession of faith; 'into the Church at Danville, forty-three, by profession alone; sixty-five were, received into the First Presbyterian Church of Syracuse. Dr. Hawloy, -the -pastor in charge of the old First Churob at Auburn, was permitted to welcome sixt persons to its communion ten by letter and fifty on profession of faith. Twenty-three were received into the Second Church at Auburn, and thirteen into the Centml. - In Boston, extra services are- being held. A revival has been in progress In Ohel- ' wa, Massachusetts, at which hundreds are ' said to have been converted. , The Interest continues at Williams and ''Bowdoin Colleges. . . . Large additions are reported in fill parts , of New England. " The Hamilton Presbytery (N. 8.) met at ' Oxford, Ohio. Reports of revivals in some " three of the Churches were received. Some fifty additions to the church, at Oxford are .reported. . At the Blue Ball Church there were 25 new converts. As the result of the revival at Lockland, 26 or 30 additions to the church are reported. There was a free conversation held on the subject of Union. Great unanimity was expressed in favor of making the two great Presbyterians one family. : The Salem Presbytery met at Mitchell, t Ind. Rev. W. McCarer, of our city, was i Moderator.! The Presbytery of Indianapolis met With the Church at Greenwood. This Church has withdrawn from this Presbytery, and united with the " other branch." Commissioners to the General Assembly were appointed, and the customary proceedings i were gone through with. . i , The Presbytery of Crawfordsville met at Bainbridge. Ind., March 30th. Commis- , sioners to the General Assembly were ap- ' pointed, and the customary business transacted. Various aptointments to vacant - Churches were made, and resolutions ap- . , proving of the Synodical Col portage were ' i also passed, favoring a plan for an efficient ministerial support. - . - ::'.. , . . ., .. i The Franklin Presbytery met at' Rey- - noldsburg, and. was well attended. The sv usual business transactions i were gone i through with. The narrative shows that i raany of the Churches in this Presbytery liave enjoyed revivals of religion during if the past winter. ' ' v ' - ' A delegation from the Columbus Presbytery, (O. .,) was present, bringing thesalu--, tations of their . Presbytery, expressing -their desire that the way would soon be open for the re-union of the two General Assemblies., - unrft From the Narrative of-the Scioto Presbytery, (N. S.,) we learn that fifty-five were added to ihe Church In Portsmouth, Ohio, during the year, on examination, and eleven by certificate, and additions to the other Churches in the Presbytery during the year were thirty. , The Greencastle Presbytery was held at ' 1 " ! )in,,i ..Mi , I .,.. I , blessed with revivals durinir the winter.
An aggregate of fifty members have been added to these Churches. The following sensible and truthful article from the Western Protestant Methodist, on the "Morality in our Rulers," should be read and pondered over by every Chris- . tian In the land, and by every true friend ' of. our common country. And if every t true Christian would do his duty in the Primary Meetings, and insist on it that ' none should be nominated for .important offices, unless they were men of the highest : moral character, at least, and who not onV,' ly Pretended respect for Religion, and r': Morals, and Temperance, but who proved themselves sincere by their works, we would have a better Government and beti .ter laws. '. It is not necessary to introduce r sectarianism to carry out this principle, bnt simply to insist that none should , be C, elected to responsible offices, who. did not recognise their entire dependence on the Supreme Ruler of the world: i ; , ; ; , ;'' MORALITY IN OUR RULERS. :':.( It is greatly to be regretted that so many .men who are elevated to high offices by their fellow-citizens, seem so indifferent to the claims of religion, some of whom seem even disposed to treat it with open disrespect. It is high time that we, as a Chris- , i , tian people, should be more particular in reference to the moral character of those ' whom we elevate to positions of honor and trust. We greatly deprecate any attempt to bring sectarian influence to bear in the election of any man to office ; but the Chris-, tian men of this nation, who hold the balance of power in their hands, should re ' Holve that only men of strict morality shall receive1 their suffrage. This, if it would not produce true moral rectitude in those seeking office at their hands, would at least ' constrain an external conformity to the requirements of morality and religion, save i us from disgrace in the eyes of the world, . and prevent the pernicious example of open ungodliness in hl! places. . But when those occupying the highest po- . . tuitions in the Government indulge In ini temperance, profanity and other practices, f which are in open opposition to the piaini st requirements of morality and religion, what can be expected but that their exAmple -will be imitated by thousands, who ' ' regard it as honorable to follow even the vices of those who occupy high and reuponsible positions. . ' : : i An extensive movement has been made ' . to secure such change in the Constitution ",' f the United States as will formally acknowledge the existence of God the ,' Father, and Christ the Redeemer, and to this we have no objection. But why should not every Christian man at the ballot-box, , acknowledge the claims of God, and refuse to vote for any man who by immoral practices or Indulgences rejects authority and -dishonors the name of Him whose law is supreme? If Christian men would refuse to vote-for nnworthy persons, politicians would soon be compelled to bring forward f as candidates for otfice men of good moral " character, in order to assure their success. , , But in many instances party ties seem to ' 1 " he stroneer than correct principles, and , whoever- la proposed by the party, it mat- ' tern not how base his moral character, i supported even by Christian men. . " We have many good men pious men in hich official positions, and. we reloice that it is so ; but still there are others who have been nonorea Dy vne people wno pre sent a" very aluerent cnaracter. An ex- - cbinm RftVR: -. "We were in the gallery of the Senate the other morning when 'the opening prayer was made, and we could not help noting, at a glance, the position of the Senators during this act of worship. A number rose in their places, and bowed their heads; others leaned down overthelr desks in an attitude of worship: whilst. we regret to say, quite a number of others leaned dock in uieir cnairs ana looKed on very indifferently a few, apparently, with disrespect, hardly concealed. A solitary
individual, who fcas considerable reputation, continued the reading of his morning paper, turning and folding it as if nothing was going on' . A man who represented a heathen district, who believed in no God. might treat with indifference every religious service; but a man representing a Christian people cannot do bo without insulting both God and his constituents
PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL. ST. Church Rev. H. W. Spald ing, Rector. No services In this church to-morrow. Sunday School, as usual, at 9 o'clock in the morning, in the rooms occupied by Miss Hough and Miss Hooker. .A correspondent of the American Churchman, writing from Delphi, in this State, says:1'1. ! r:u !oa.:'-. J,i.;'"; -; ; Bishop Talbot visited St. Mary's Parish, of this place, yesterday ; preached in the evening, and confirmed two persons. The occasion was a very interesting one the first timeofcr new Bishop has ever preached at this place. . To say that we are pleased with him, is but expressing the same opinion universally feft at every place he has visited. His address to the Sunday School in themorningwaswell received so plain, so practical : as were also his remarks to the candidates after confirmation. Our Parish has secured the ministerial services of Rev, J. E. Jackson, late of QwenbOra; Ky. . We nre pleased with-our new Rector, and doubt not that a few months under his ministrations will show a marked improvement in our prospects. ; J. K. H. The rite of Confirmation was administered in Grace Church, St. Louis, on the 5th Sunday in Lent, when 31 person ratified tiwir uiipttiiuwi vom. Four ottiera were prevented, by 'unavoidable causes, from presenting themselves on the same occa sion. ,.- iHi'.-iftu f .On Palm Sunday, the Bishop confirmed i twenty-one- persona in Trinity Church, st. Louis. . .,.,: 1 i The vestry of St. Paul's Church, Boston, at Easter, voted an addition of SI, 000 to the salary of the Rector, thus making it W.000. The Rector also received a pleasant token of regard in a present of SJ.iOOj the Assistant Minister receiving about SoOO. The offering at St. Mark's, Boston, amounted to more than $1,400, a sum more than sufficient to extinguish the whole indebtedness of the parish. : Within the last three yean?, more than 810,00ft have been raised, over -and above current expenses and contributions to general objects.' ' At Emanuel Church, Boston, the vestry voted to assume the rent of the Rector's house, thus making his salary 88,000. ,The monthly collection at St. Paul's Churchy Brookline, on Easter Day, for Diocesan Missions, was 81,600; while that in the preceding month, for leeble Churches, was 8L200. Christian Witness. X Church 'clergyman,7writing from. DemopoliSr Alabama, .under date of March 30, says in the course of his letter : ; ' I wish to correct some statements which I have seen in the papers, as to the disloyalty of our people, and the injustice and cruelty with which the freedmen are treated... Our people have accepted their condition in good faith. - They are tired .of strife and want peace, and are disposed to do their duty as good citizens. The freedmen are treated with kindness and justice. Those that are willing to work get good wages, and are well fed and housed. If there is any suffering among them, it is only among those who are unwilling to work. They have generally gone to work, and were satisfied and contented ; and, if left to themselves, ail tilings, I am. pure, . will go on well, and peace and prosperity f will return.'! ,..,;.., ,.. trv..-, j f Bishpp Smith, of Kentucky, visited Ascensiou. Church,' Frankfort,-, on the. .first Sunday after Easter, and confirmed sixtythree persons. ..Vi ' I We take the following from tne Church Journal. " It will be seen ' that one of the Romish papers acknowledges, the truth of the report and rather justifies the act. r I lately, is thus described : :;jk j "It has about twenty-five thousand inhabitants, of which at least three-fourths belong to the Class of caffoni, or agricultural laborers, who do not live in cottages scattered over the eountry or collected in villages, as in other countries, but are here agglomerated in wretched streets of the town, filthy and stinking, and in certain habitations which should more properly be called stables, the more so as men and women dwell there under the same roof with asses and every variety f domestic animals. This class of citizens, ignorant, poor, superstitious to ferocity is naturally led by the priesthood, while the two other classes, artisans and persons in easy "circumstances, have almost a repugnance to approach it, owing to the prejudices which are really not unjustifiable." . ; s j r : The Unita Cattolica says thaf the fault was all that of the heretics, whose presence scandalized the faithful : and that of the King, who encourages schism. j ASCIKNT -MuSIC-iAJfO THK MCSIC OF Solomon's Templk." The disentombing of Assyrian sculptures and the deciphering of Assyrian and Egyptian inscriptions have opened new fields of investigation in almost every department of knowledge. Among the branches of science which have shared in these discoveries, that of music has been benefitted largely. The accounts of ancient musical instruments were vague, and our ideas, especially of Hebrew music, were confused, till recently sculptures and Salntings have been brought to light which elineate the musical instruments of the early Oriental nations, and in a number of cases veritable specimens have been disentombed. Such, for example, is an Egyptian Harp found in Thebes, wit h its strings yet perfect enough to vibnite again, after a silence of three thousand vears. : j liie more recent investigations prove that the" parent of all known musical science was Assyria. From the Assyrians the Hebrews and the Egyptians, and indeed all Eastern nations, derived their knowledge of music. The unveiled monu ments show that in the time of Sennacherib music was a highly cultivated art, and must, have existed through generations. This polished nation used a harp -of twenty-one strings, the frame, of which was iuur ieei nign, wnicn accoinpaniea minstrel songs or was borne in the danee. The lyre of tortoise-shell, the double pipe, tie irum-ptn., uram, sau oen were common. Even of the bagpipe representations have been discovered, though none of stringed instruments piayea witu a dow line tne violin. . j . In all delineations of social or worship ping assemones. musical instruments very like our modern ones, have a nrominent place. The Hebrew music at the time of the Exodus; was purely Egyptian; but it was much modified subsequently by asso ciation with Asiatic nations. In the Tem ple of Jerusalem, according to the Talmud. stood a powerful organ, consisting of a wiud-chest with ten holes, containing ten Sipes, each pipe capable of emitting ten ifferent sounds by means of finger holes, so that a hundred sounds could be produced by it. - It was provided with two pairs of bellows and ten keys, so that it could be played with the fingers. According to the Rabbins, it could be heard a great distance from the temple. j MISCELLANEOUS. $25.
