IjELlGIOUS. unitarian. There. Vill be Liberal Christian -worship at the Court House to-mor-jow at the usual hour. Subject or" sermon : " Man not Fallen but Risen' The evening service will hereafter be discontinued. Communicated. The Northwestern Conference, which was organized some three months since, consisting of Unitarian and other Christian Churches in Wisconsin and Minnesota, held its second quarterly meeting at Madison, Wis., on the 1st and 2d inst. The Conference was opened by an admirable discourse from Rev. N. M. Mann, of Knosha. The occasion is reported to have been one of much interest to those present. The following statement of . principles was recommended for adoption: " We believe in the Fatherhood of God, in the brotherhood of man, in the spirit of life as manifested in Jesus, in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as containing a record of the temporal and. eternal life, and in the continuous inspiration of man through the natural organs of reason, conscience, and affection; and we recognize it to be the aim of human existence to embody this faith in actual life. And that Te may the better aid etch other in .this -aim,-, we hereby unite'burselves together." The Liberal Christian League, of Chicago, following the lead : of the Unitarians of Boston, are arranging ffgr a course of Sunday evening services in the Opera House in that city. The Rev. Mr. Hepworth, of Boston, preached there last Sunday evening and the Sunday evening before, to immense congregations. It is exEected that Rev. Dr. Putnam, of Rox-ury,-Mass., will succeed Mr. Hepjworth, and other distinguished clergymen.;. I ' u .'o -Rev. Dr. Bellows, with his wife, " daughter and son, Mr. Russell N. Bellows, sailed for Europe on Saturday last. " Dr. Bellows" Bayethe' Liberal Christian had be- . come completely worn down by incessant and long-continued application t his numerous and arduous duties, aid was compelled to .seek rest and recuperation abroad, beyond the reach of. the countless calls , upon' , Mils strength; appeals to his sympathies, and engaging public occasions and excitements, or shortly break down altogether. No one will be surprised at this who knows anything of, the amount of work he has performed, the burdens he has had to bear,- and the constant drain upon his interest and sympathy by appeals of all sorts, public as well as private, in addition to his immediate professional duties as pastor of one of our largest parishes." The Parish of All Souls showed its appreciation of its pastor by granting him his long vacation, which is to be about a year, and continuing his salary, with the rental of parsonage, during his absence. Not content with this, a" few of its members united in presenting him with a token of their personal regard in the shape, of ?5,000. Many prayers and earnest wishes will follow him for his protection and safe return with renewed health and vigor. A service in commemoration of the life and character of Major Georgo Ii. Stearns, recently deceased,' was held in the Unitarian Church, Medford, Mass., Sunday morning, May 12. Major Stearns was a person of large fortune, and gave without-stint to causes of reform and philanthropy. He has been for many years an active worker in the anti-slaVery cause, and kept his purse ever open to its calls for aid. During the war he equipped a colored regiment at his own expense, and marched with it into the service. He was one of the first to advocate impartial suffrage, and for the furtherance of this end, published, until recently, the " Right Way" 50,000 copies of which were distributed gratuitously weekly. A tribute to him, from the pen of Whittier, will be found in the Atlantic for June. He leaves a name Whose sweetness will survive his liv- ' ing days, - As odorous scents outlast the censor's blaze." . Preaching for the Church of Christ at the Court House, by Elder J. B. Hew, every Sunday at half past three o'clock P- Mn and at night, and every Wednesday night. Subject, afternoon, ."Evidences of Christianity;" night,' "'Second 'coming of the Lord."

Hight reports over $GO,000 Centenary money for the Indiana Conference About $33,000 of this goes to the Asbury University. Dr. Reid, of the Western Christian Advocate, recently dedicated a Methodist Church at Rockville. He says it is a handsome brick edifice, forty by sixty-five feet from outside- to outside, including tower, giving an audienceroom of thirty-six by fifty-four feet. The ceiling is arched, and the whole interior finished . in the neatest and best style. The tower is, as yet, incomplete, but will rise to the height of some seventy-five feet. The windows are. of stained glass, and. the room handsomely furnished with carpets, table, chandeliers, r. hair-cloth chairs,- etc." The whole ' cost! of the building.'including lot, was'fS,KK).

Ninety-three per cent, of the material within the bounds of the circuit is now used in the Sunday School, and the hope indulged of being able to bring in the remaining 6even per cent. Can these figures be surpassed by any? Washington Circuit is within the bounds of the Indiana Conference. Western Christian Advocate.

in our dispatches of the proceedings of the General Assemblies. , It will be seen that not only the Old School and New School branches, but the branches of the Reformed and United Presbyterians are gravitating into consolidated or organic union. Were it not that , the Cumberland Presbyterians made alterations in the Confession of faith when they seperated from the main body, we , might hope to 'see them taking steps to unification with the other great bodies of the denomination ; and yet as the changes are not inessentials, why might they not thus colisse? Were all the Presbyterian branches united they would present a grand front in the Sacramental Host in Christ's Army. . 1 Fraternal. On Sunday, the 14th ult., a union communion service was held in the First Presbyterian Church of Elizabeth, of the members of the First, Second Third, and Westminster Churches, and a few from Other denominations.

The Union of the New School and Old School Presbyterian Churches at Rockville, ; which was entered into some three months since, has not resulted in the harmony and good which was anticipated, and they have agreed to return to their separate Church life.

The following special dispatch to one of the Cincinnati papers gives the opening exercises of the first day: ' Chicago, May 22. Delegates to the General Baptist anniversaries have been arriving in large numbers to-day, and the number now present is very large. ' The work will really not commence until to-morrow. : The Colporteur's Convention of the Baptist Publication Society was held this afternoon at the First Baptist Church. - - ; - .ii :The President,' Rev.'

They simply gave a somewhat detailed account of their labors in the various fields which they have occupied. An address will be delivered this evening, by Rev. Warren Randolph. The first on the programme to-morrow is the Home Missionary Society. South. From the proceedings Jof the Southern Baptist Convention, which met at Memphis last week, we extract the following statistics: ' , The report of the Domestic Board announces collections amounting to $33,083 98 for home, and $1,173 60 for, Indian Missions. t The expenditures in the Home field have ; been $38,188 37,'and for the Indian Mission $2,181.
