We have heard of noefiangesin the .r- ir11180 ; order of religious exercises in Seethe? various churches of our city, to-r-'t.?s j.- xnorrow . -ir,. -r-, ... n. . r;The large majority of our pulpits are now occupied fey minister of intelligence, zeal and piety, who are fully competent to feed their respective : i flocks leading Ihem into green pas
tures and heside still waters. In con-'
sequence their congregations ought to be on the increase continually, as most of them, we believe, are. Our people have not been celebrated for churchgoing, but we think an improvement .in this respect is observable. With 1 1 han(jsome church' edifices", ' eminent and eloquent pastors, and excellent music, it would seem strange if intelligent people preferred lounging about the street, to spending two or three hours during the day in attending di y - ,?ine service. - ' We are pleaded to leiru that Mr. John F. Glover has so for perfV-ffd
Union Tabernacle for the aet onim ic,ir tion of the MisMp'u" Sabbath r'ehool, , as to feel ditpoad to begin the work on the first of next jjnonth. j Every city of any importance in the dountry now boasts of its Mission Sabbath
School, and some have two or three. : Evarisville has notlheen behind' her
neighbors in this respect, buji fori sometime past the want of a proper place for holding the School has 'so far interfered with its management, thatthe MiesioivSchaoi" has diminished in numbers and interest, until Wis but the shadow of what it was a few years ago. Faithful officers and . teachers, however, continue' to Jabqr
t and hope, till at last the prospect of a
good building and enlarged usefulness cheers and inspires their hearts;: It is thought the building will Lo ready for occupancy in two months after it is completed. We long to see the day when at least 1,000 children will bo 4 ; - collected within lihu walls, li singing pongs of praise and learning lessons ihat will fit them for life's duties. Every Christian man in our city must feel an interest in this wiik, and ought to contribute of his means and influence to make it a success. , i s c. ; 'From our. religious exchanges, we glean the following items : . Rev. W. C. Johnson, having been appointed editor of the Memphis " t. hristian- A'hwftte. at the r.rnt es- - : rtni tiie Utueral Conference of the , M. E. Church, South, has catered
upon his duties. Jtev. b. Watson having retired. , The Methodist Book Depository in Pittsburg has been burned. The' loss f. g is not stated, but there is sufficient

J, G. Whitier, the Quaker poet, having been charged with being a Universalist, puhlishes the following
m ajuliiladclphia journal: ;
Painfully sensible of my own moral infirmities and liabilities to error. I
instinctively shrink.- from assuming
the ofhee' of : teacher and, guide of
others. I simply wish, to say that my
ground' oi hope tor myself and ior
humanity is' in that Divine fullness of
love which was manifested in the life; teachings and self-sacrifice of Christ the Way,.the Truth and the Life. In' the infinite mercy of God so reveal
ed, and ,not in any work or merit of
our nature, i reverently, humbly, yet very hopefully, . trust. I ; regard Christianity as a life rather , thaa a creed : and in, judging of my fellowmen' t car use no other standard than that which our Lord and Master has given us: "By their fnvts ye shall know them." - The only orthodoxy that I -.7a specially interested in is thit of life and practice.

; awful and solemn theme of human do-'M-v T .i-.rf. vt (3-nntize, but wait 'e naioldiag ot f. great mystery, in the firm fait that, whatever may be our particular allotment, God will do thXeat that , is possible for alt ; Sw?DENB(nGiAN ' CONVENTION.
The General! Convention of the New Jerusalem Church in' the United States, consisting of, ministers and lay
delegates to the number ot over one hundred, assembled in Boston on ; Fridays June'-lst: The ' Contention supports a book publishing and printing establishment in New York; where also a weekly, paper, the 2$exv Jerusaem -Messenger, is issued. The .Convention is likewise the proprietor of a .monthly periodical of sixty-four pages, published in Boston and called the New Jerusalem Magazine.. The Jnrsenger is in its eleventh and the Magazine in ; its thirty-ninth year. On Monday : reports were ; read from the different State ' Associations. ' In Maine and New ' Hampshire are five societies, two ministers,- and 9o'2 inemv berg. , ,In Massachusetts sixteen societies, eighteen ministers and 1,050 members. In Nctf York six societies:, with three ministers and 250 members. ' In Pennsylvania ten societies, two ministers and 400 or 500 members. In Ohio ten societies, six ministers and from (j00 to 700 members. In Maryland and the District of Columbia six societies, three ministers and about 200 members. In Illinois nine societies, seven ministers and 504 members. The total membership in the United States is 4,000.
speaking extemporaneously his published discourses are all taken down by reporters he is never at a moment's- loss for a word, but the sermon proceeds, without detrimental pause, m a steady, current of thought and expression. 4. His aptness in illustration drawn largely, in imitation-' of the Saviour from common life.-5. His drafts upon and appeal to actual experience. It is5 seen that he preaches .from his' on inward experience, and the hearer soon is .aware that the discourse comes home to the life and the very bosom of the auditors. 6. His knowledge of human nature. Mr. Spurgeon reads individuals and audiences quickly, and knows how to adapt himself to them. 7. His consecration to the one work : of saving souls. He believes most thoroughly in the Gospel of Christ, and in all that it implies; in its necessity, in its value, in its power; find he makes his preaching direct, pointed'" spiritual, earnest, evangelical. And this has educated his church to the same view and practice. - Mr: Spurgeon, like most of the Eng glish Baptists, is an open eonmmruunr.i frv. . i .. e i i.i i. .

A correspondent of Zion's Herald gives thq following with regard to the relative increase of Methodism in Connecticut . .; ; "From 1790 to 800 the population increased 5 2-5 per cent., Methodism 767 per cent,;' frosi 1800 to 1810 population : increased 4 2-5 'per ent.

The- sermon was on the temptation of Christ upon the pinnacle of the temple. .. My anticipations, were fully met, both in matter and in maunef. lie held the vast congregation in perfect attention for fifty minutes, leavinjfupon their minds a tender and solemn impression, resorting to no tricks of .bjxffoonery saying nothing irreverent or out of taste. I should judge thathi power lies in a combination of the following things: 1. His rich, clear, melodious tenor voice, that all hear, and love to hear. For the highest oratory, it is deficient in the lowest register, not having the base notes that, for certain purposes, are so effective and even necessary. But for the ordinary use of a public speaker, in a large house, Mc Spurgeon's voice is seldom equalled- 2. His perfect selfposession, and yet ability to connect himself sympathetically with his audience. He ' feels at home with them, and they feel so with him, as when friends talk together. 3. His ready comma of language,. Though

Herald reports that the Episcopal Convention, recently in session in Columbus, in tliat State, unanimously adopted a resolution revoking the action of the annual Convention in 1862, adopting the Constitution of the P. E. Church iu the Confederate States of America, and resuming its former relations with the P. E. Church in the United States. The Annual Diocesan Council of Virginia, at Alexandria, on the 16th ult, adopted a similar resolution! Also the following: ., ,'; , , , 1". : .. .. Resolved, That whenever the colored member of the Church in any parish deme to form a new and stp-

'ft is an excellent idea, and the example should be followed jn our parishes generally. One reason why the laity of the church arc not. in many cases, so wide-awake as Methodists, Baptists", or Presbyterians, is because they do not patronize their church papers to half the extent that the latter do. - Mr. Spaulding recommends to his pastoral the Ameriean Cnirehman, thev (lnpel Messenger, Churrh Journal Church Review of which he speaks . in the highest terms, and the tSptrft of Missions. . .

been moved by the Spirit of God to repair and adorn the Sanctuary
of the Lord, and " make the place of
his feet glorious." The Convention of the Diocese closed its session on Friday, the 8th inst. It was the most harmonious, enthusiastic, and the largest convention, we . have ever held. Bishop TaJbot is a most admirable presiding
officer, and won all hearts by his de
cision of character, strict impartiality and urbanity. Under his administration the Church in this diocese can
not fail to grow, both in numbers and
influence ti .Resolutions ' were! passed sympathizing with the Senior Bishop (Bishop Upfold) in the affliction that has obliged him to retire from active
work. ' A Board of Missions was appointed, to ', act " in " conjunction with tlje Episcopal authority of . the Dio
cese in the Missionary. work of the
Church. ' The ( Board, of Visitors of
St. Agnes Hall wa3 largely increased, and steps taken towards the liquidation of i the indebtedness resting upon the corporation. ' ': 7 " : ,; By resolutioa the Diocesan Assessment was , declared to rest upon the parishes, and not upon communicants. After some remarks from the Chair, and. singing the Gloria in Excelsio," the Convention adjourned. On the whole it was the most pleasant occasion of the kind that we have ever attended. ; On Friday evening a stirring Sunday School meeting was held, and the children of St. Stephen's Sunday
School, Terre Haute, were catechised and addressed by the Bishop and clergy present. The singing was fine, the Sunday School being trained by the Rev. Mr. Martin, the Rector, who, himself, is an excellent musician, i We -cannot close these remarks without speaking in the warmest terms of the entertainment of the clerical and lay delegates, by the good people of Terre" Haute. Everything that could be "done" to make guests comfortable and happy, was done by the warm-hearted Rector of St. Stephen's Church and his devoted flock. The lay delegates, as well as the clergy, were
entertained, and the general remark
