The usual ser- ' vices will be held in the different '' Presbyterian Church es of the city tomorrow. We' believe that all the pastors are at their posts . Rev. W. D. Rossiter, of Cincinnati, Secretary of the' American and Foreign Christian Union, will preach in the Walnut Street Presbyterian Church in the forenoon, and in the evening at the Vine Street -Presbyterian Church. ? The Anniversary Meeting of the Sabbath School of the Walnut Street Presbyterian Church will be held tomorrow afternoon, at 3 o'clock, in the audience room. It is hoped that the audience will assemble at a quarter before three, so that the exercises may not be delayed. citt stews. Religious services have been held nightly in the Baptist, Ingle Street, Trinity, and German : Methodist, and Cumberland Presbyterian Churches, during the past week. Considerable . interest is manifested in some of the congregations, and a number of conversions are reported, but no geaeral revival epirit is being manifested. The Rev. Mr, Van Antwerp, who has been called to the Rectorship of St. Paul's (Episcopal) Church, , has telegraphed that the call being so unexpected, he must take a few days for

consideration. From his high reputation, we hope he may decide to accept. Nothing definite can be stated as to when the Church of the Holy Innocents will be consecrated. The formal application has been made to Bishop Upfold to fix a date, and he has promised to do so. The presumption is that it will be immediately upon the return of Bishop Talbot from the meeting at the House of Bishops, which takes place in New York on the 5th inst. The delay is unfortunate for there is every indication of a large congregation, could regular service be held. The numbers, both of teachers, children, and visitors having been greater on the last Sunday than any previous one, since tha Church has been used for Sunday School purposes. It will be seen by notice above that the Sabbath School of the Walnut Street Presbyterian Church will observe its Anniversary to-morrow afternoon. We have been shown the programme, which is quite neat and . attractive, having the Order of Exercises, the Statistical Report of the School, the list of scholars who have gained prizes and are on the merit roll, and also a fine and very correct engraving of the church. It will be an attractive memento for both scholars and friends, and will be well worth attendiug the exercises to secure it. The Cumberland Presbyterian con- . gregation are having a series of very pleasant social gatherings at the houses of the different families of the Church during the Winter. The last sociable was held at the residence of Mr. Levi Igleheart, and was a most agreeable gathering. The next' will be held, we believe, at the residence of Mr. W. F. Nisbet, on First Street. The Mite 3Ieeting of St. Paul's Episcopal Church will take p!ace on Monday evening, at the Parsonage; to be followed by Lunch on Tuesday, at the usual hours. Rev. G. F. Pentecost is absent from the city, on a visit to New Orleans. The regular services of his Church will not the suspended duricg his absence. MJSSIOX SCHOOLS villi:. or KVASSThere has been no concerted or union effort to establish Mission Sabbath Schools in this city,' but the Christian benevolence of individuals and separate church organizations has done much-; to provide religious ' instruction for the ignorant and neg-' , lectel poor of : the ,comnaoity. 'It

f would be

well it' every, church in the, - ' o.itv was sustaimne an enterprise ot this kind. We refer briefly to, some, of those whose existance ancfoperations have come to our notice: - The Crescent City Mission School i the oldest and most generally knownr It was organized in 1857 -and very soon became the largest school in the city, composed "' almost entirely of poor children, who were not in attendance in any of the ohureh ( schools.! During the war it decreased considerably in numbers" and interest,' ancj Buffered much inconvenience . from, having to vacate. Crescent ; City . Hall .and. find accommodation .in the Court Room'. Last.year Mr. ' John ;F.; Glover; was1 induced : to accept the Superintendency, and has been devoting; to the good work hia . well known energy and enthusiasm in the ' Sabbath School' cause. As soon as it was possible he obtained a lease of Crescent City Hall, and the Sehool returned to its old home, where it had been so prosperous in past years. Mr. Glover has collected, around him & faithful corps of teachers, earnest workers like himself; and the result of their labors is now seen in the great success which has followed their efforts. ..The school numbers forty teachers, and the average attendance ranging from 600 to 700 children. This makes it probably the largest; Sabbath School in the State. The : aggregate is somewhat swelled, however, by quite a number of children from other t-chools, who ought to be excluded, in order to accommodate the poor and neglected, who, alone, would crowd the Hall. The benefits resulting from Church Mission Schools are seen in the success whieh has attended the one under the auspices of St. Paul's Episcopal congregation. A little band of children were gathered together in the north part of the city, hardly fonr years ago; and the ' faithful and constant labors of a few devoted teachers has been rewarded by the establishment of a very successful congregation, just abo.ut being organized into the separate parish of the Church of the Holy Innocents.' Other churches could profitably follow the worthy home mission example set them by St. Paul's. A very prosperous Mission School has been in existence for sometime past in the Park School House, Franklin Street, Lamasco. It is sustained under the auspices of the Ingle Street Methodist Church. Mr. Theo. Curnick is the Superintendent. The numbers of enrolled are two hundred and fifty children, and twenty-five teachers and officers, with an average attendance of one hundred and ninety. This School is doing a good work for the rising generation of that section of the city. . About four weeks ago, a few young and active Christians of Trinity Methodist Church organized a Mission . School in Independence Methodist Church, below Pigeon Creek. Such a school was a serious want in that community, as is attested by its decided success. It commenced with less than fifty children, and last Sabbath the number in attendance was one hundred and twenty-eight, Mr. Ferd. C. Iglehart is the Superintendent, assisted by William Storton. With proper effort it will, we doubt not, result in building up in that village a strong and prosperous church. Quite recently Rev. Geo. F. Pentecost, of the First Baptist Church, with the assistance of willing helpers of his congregation, has opened a Mission School enterprise in the district school-house in the extreme southeast suburb of the city- adjoining Knight Township. About fifty children and adults have been gathered in, and it is confidently expected that the enterprise will be attended with the best ot results.

HoraI Greeley; lectures before the Young Men' Christian Association of tndianappl.i31ion jthe il7th of. February. To the 21st ult, there had beeij accessions to the iM. E.Ch arches id New Albany," as folIdwsT John Street', 21;' German, 40; Centenary, 10; Wesley, 24; and -Roberts, 13. The interest is on the increase; 'The statistics of the Virginia and North ' Carolina M. E. , Conferences show the following; Members, 2,502 an increase of 1,907; probationers, 254-1 increase of 198; local preachres,; Sunday Schools, 33; scholars, 1,39(1. . Prof. Geo W. Hoss, in an article in the "Western Christian Advocate, uses the following language: . "In the Constitution of the United States, there is a singular and noteworthy absence of any direct recognition of God or religion. While we are of those who regret this absence, we can not attribute it to any irreligious spirit in the framers of the Constitution." i Does the Professor not recognize in the following portion of the Constitution a recognition of both God and the Christian religion : Done in Convention by the unanimous eonsent of the States present, the seventeenth day of September, in the year of OUR LORD, one thousand seven hundred and eighty-seveD, and of the independence of the United States of America the twelfth, &c? . To our mind it is the strongest kind of a recognition. Early Conversions. The following interesting fact relating to early conversions was brought out in treeponse to a suggestion by Dr. R. S. Foster, at the New York preachers' meeting, held in the chapel of the Book-Room on Monday, 20th inst. Of the seventy-six preachers present there' were converted: Under 14 years, 20; 14 and under 16 years, 22; 16 and under 18 years, J4; 18 and under 21 years, 13; 21 and over, only 7. A single fact like the above, says the Christian Advocate, epeaks volumes in favor of early conversion and early religious training.. Let the Church care for the children, and in due time they will care for her. . The Advance. The new Congregational paper, with this title, recently started at Chicago, gives evidence of prosperity, as it well deserves. We regard it as one of the best of our religious exchanges. The last number is a capital one. Among the noticeable articles are some very interesting Reminiscences of William B. Bradbury telling how the Cantata of Esther was written by his old associate, C. M. Cady; a trenchant article on Congregational Singing or None, by Prof. Nathan Sheppard; some spicy Gossip about Sunday Schools, by a New Haven lady; an admirable review of The Southern Situation, in a letter from Mobile; juicy editorials on Seeds of Thought;' The Two Tract Societies; Twenty-Five Years; Boston and Chicago, &c. ; and PigeonHole Excerpts, a special feature of the Advance, which are the essence and marrow of gpod things. STATISTICS OF CHRISTIANITY, From the Pall Mall (English) Gazette. So much has been said lately respecting the relative numbers of the members of the several denominations of Christians, and so much very loose assertion on the subject is daily hazarded that the following is submitted as founded, at least, on competent authorities. It comprises those parts of the world which may be comprehended under the general term Christendom Europe, America, and Australia. Roman Greeks & " Catholics. JProtest. Orientals Russian Posses.

From the Cincinnati Christian Herald. KVAXSnLLE, IXI. Rev. W. II. McCarer. We have ju.-st learoed that the Kev. W. H. McCarer, of the First Presbyterian Church of Evansville, Indiana, has aiguified his. intention lo apply to the Presbytery to dissolve the' relation ;between him and .his ekurchu.. ; ,i Mr. .McCarer has'Jabored in Evans-

ville for over eighteen years, and his church, from, being a Tery feeble opr, has 'become one of the: foremost in the city, and in the 'Presbytery or Silem, with which it is, connected. During the years of the war it corapjfeted one of the largest and most beautiful .bouses, of. worship in the West. . He now retires from the pressure of responsibilities, which have

been almost wholly unintermitted du ring this long term of years, hoping, as he says, that after a short fur lough, he may be able with recruited energies to enter another field of labor where he may serve toe Master and lead on some other people to the glorious conquest which is promised DENTISTS.
