From the ,'tw York Observer. .SYNOD OF NEW JERSEY. -Xarra'b-e of the stale of Religion within the hmnuh .f Ihe Synod, f ,r the year ending October, 1!J5 . ' In presenting to their churches, according to a wise and long established usage, an account of the state oi religion within their bounds durin- the past year, the oyno 1 of New Jersey feel lhat the eo:i'imo:i of this part of Zion is such as loudly do mauds to be brought wiili all plainness before the .ev. oi innse committed to then- care. iiht be necessary for the individual Chrishnn in or.Jer to learn his duty, frequently to examine the state of Ins heart, it is eijnailv' needful for the church.- of Christ, in iheir collective capacity, to look .it tht ir spiritual condition, if they would ascertain what the great Head of the church would have them io do. Whiht be who walks in the :m 1st ol ihe golden candlesticks contemplate with ever-wakeful interest ihe slate of his church, none of his friends can regard it with cold ind iderence. In reviewing the report from our churches, we find much to encourage and make us grateful, and much i Iso to humble and arouse. One feature in our religious condition we mention with pecnli u pleasure. Itlsthe delight ful spirit of peace and harmony which so generally prevails throughout our bounds. From the bickerings of party snife, we have hitherto, in great mercy, been preserved.' Ihe meetings ofour body, from year to year, have been characterized in a remarkable deg'ree by fraternal feeling and the prevalence of Christhan'loveand our church. s in peneral are walking in union and peace. That in this state we may be kept by the God of peace, we most devoutly 'pray. It is also matter of gratitude, that those means which God has appointed for the salvation of men are so extensively in operation among us. The word of sajvaiion is preached to our pVople. The truths w.nch God has revealed for convening and sanctifying the human heart are from Sabbath to Sabbat i proclaimed; a large proportion ofour church- " ' t; "iiai pastors, men of their own choice, lead them lorth to those green pastures, which tl great shepherd has provided to nourish and refref to ie esh IllSllOCk. Ihe number u'lin o.o.,.l . ' iH'iu h mmi I lit.: fri vices ot the sanctuary in our different congregations is as large as i; ever was in preceding years. Alany of out churches report a growing ami gratHying improvemant in this particle; and we are confident that nothing but kind and continued effort on ihe part of professing Christians is wanted, in order to bring lo the house of God the great mas who now stay away. vSabath kcIiooIp, thoe institutions which God ha
