THE CHURCHES, The Growih of Coasregatiotalisic m this Gty = History of the Chicago Theological Seminary, Programme of Services in’ the Churches To-Day. Episcopal and Roman Cat.fxolic Calendar for the Week.' . CONGREGATIONALISM. Until Moy, 1851, the Congregationalists who settled in Chicego united with the Presbyterian Churchics, whose doctrines and forms of worship coincided nesrly with their own, and with whom they co-opersted in Home and Fereign fissions. Bat at that time, owing to a divisionin the Third Presbyterian Church, on the subject of _slavery, growing oat of dissatisfaction &t the.action of the General Assembly, & portion of the members organized: the First Congregational, Church. There are now in the city twelve Congregational Churches, technically o called, besides, two in: dependent churches: toWit, on the North Side, tie Now England, with 824 members and 350 Sunday-school scholars, and tho Lincoln Park, whose statistics sremotat hand;. onthie South Side, the Plymouth, with 469 members and 500 scholars (with which the South has . recent- Iy uniled), and fho Oskland, -with' f70- members snd 180 scholars; and ‘on the Bouth Side, the First, with 787 mem- bers and 800 scholars ; the Union Park; with 466 members and 500 scholars ; the Tabernscle, with 458 membets and 977 scholars ; the Bethany, with 59 members and 200 scholars ; the Scandin- avian, statistics not recsived ; the Leavitt Street, with 155 members and- 310 scholars ; the Wicker Park, with 22 members and 100 echolars; ind the Clinton - Street, with 50 members npd 400 CHICAGO THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY. . Beven cogent reasons were urged by the proper guthorities for the organizationof a Congrega~ tional Theological Seminary in Chicago directly after the withdrawal from the Third Presyterian Church, the firat of which, like the first of séveral canses why a New England village did not-cele- brate the arrival of Genersl Gaorge Washitigton on & certain oceasion, (viz. want of gun-powder) was of itself sufficient, and which wo guotedn foll & it The production of & ministry is in the church ger- minally, If there be faith, théra will be growth and muturity will not be reached withont this best friitage — . Without such fruitfalneds and culture needul thereto, and in condition of colonisl depend- ence on the East for s ministry, our churches never canbecome what tho exigencids of the Ba Z Xingdom require, o Accordingly & Board of Directors was ap< pointed Sept. 26, 1854, and tho machinery for meanufacturing the Seminary began to move. Agents were appointed, plana submitted, special meetings were held, donations received, and, although the discouragements were many, tho grest work made progress. Bome fifty Parties in the city ‘proposals to give or sell a site for the Institution. Tt was ab first -proposed to lacate from two to five miles out of thecity ; to purchasea large tractof Jand, build up s suburbsn town, erect seminary buildings and honses_for thé Profeasors, thus making the shcu sitractive, and creating & demand for resi- ence property which should enable the Board to remunerate itself for all expenditure by the sale of these Jands. This plan was finally re- ected, beczuse it involved an nncertain speca- tion in resl estate, and s grester expendituro thsn the finances warranted, and because it would delay the opening of the institution, A second proposition was £o_sclect the beat possi- ble location within the city, regardless of oost, provided it csme within the' scope of reasonabl sccomplishment. In & lino _with this Mast, the present site, immediately west of TUnion Park, wes purchased at » cost of 33,000 The endowment was set at §250,000, to be raised in money, notes, snd Jands. More than the one-half of this amonnt was repdily secured, but the reverses of 1857 serionely fmpaired its svailability. The funds of the institution wero put ic two clagses, the *‘Permenent” and the “ General.” The former was never to be expended, but of the lat- ter either the principal or the interest could be nsed for any purposes of the Seminary, THE OPENING, These preparations having been made, and a correepondence opened with sixty-six young oo, East ond West, who proposed to study theology, the institution was opened in May, 1858, with twenty-eight students (six of whom were_scniors, thirteen juniors, and nine in the special depzriment) snd threo ' Professors, viz.: Pev. 8. C. Bartlett, D.D., from New Hampshire; Rev. F. W. Figk, D.D., from Beloit College, Wis.; and Rev. Joseph Haven, D.D,, of Amherst College, Mass., in & wooden building on the portliest corner of and Washington svenucs, now occupied Kthe Union Park Con- gregetionel Church. Tho following sre the Words of Prof. Haven pronounced st the time: a nory, 0 God! wo commend to Thee this institu- 1 Be Tuo its strongth and it defonse, Guard 1t Sgainst the dangers to which it may be exposed. _ Sus: £9n it during its vear of infuncy, 1nd the struggles of tia growth and early manhood.

TEE ALUMNL The enccess of the_institution in the matria- nlation, edncation, and graduation of students bas been very creditable, and no doubt es com- prehensive &8 espected by its founders. The whole number of iho Alnmni is put down st 131, Of these, Eix have gopo to the higher world, nine have gone s missionaries to foreign Iands, forty-two ave now laboring in Tlinois, Six- teen are in Wisconsin, fourteen in Iowa, five in Maseachusotts, four each in Minnosots, Knnsas, cnd California, threo each in Miseouri and Ne- brasta, two each in Michigan, Tennessee, Ohio, £od New York. end _one ezch in Colorado, Ore- , Dakots, Rhcde Island. Vermont, New Hamp- Fhire, and Canads. Five of this number now re- side in the city. IN ATTENDANCE, The present number now at the institution is Sifty-four, tabulated as follows # Residente licentiates, ezior class urse—" t Special course—Second ¢ Special conrse—First year Of this number, ninoare from Beloit College, four from Jows College, two from Middlebury, £wo from Dartmouth, aud one from each of the Colleges, Hartford, Hillsdale, Ezox, Norib- estorn, Wheston, Olivet, aud the University of s Wisconsin. THE COURSE OF STUDY does not differ materially in this from other similar institations. 1t is divided into the same cumber of Years, viz.: the Junior, Middle, and Benior. The first yearis given meinly to the study of the Beriptures in the original ; the sec- ond to eystemetic theology, end the third to chetoric and history. The *Special Course,” 4 races all ‘that is in the regular course except the first year. In place of what is omitted epecial studien are given. Like the regulor, it oceupies also threa years, Matricnlation ju thia Gepartment is optional with the Faculty, the ox- smination having reference to picty, genius, and ‘adaptability to the work, rather thento erndite echolarship. JUILDINGS. THE B Of these thers are two, Eeyes' Hall, occupied tn 1865, and Carpenter's portion of which only is completed. The former cost over $23,000 —is four etories high, contains lecture and Ebrary raome, and accommodstions for forty students. The latter is perfect in its conven- fences £0 £or as done, and contains studios for Professors gud students, and also an el and commodions chapel. As originally project- ed, these two edifices, when Carpenter Wil ahall hato beon finiched, srill appear 1u one ‘building, ‘with 155 feet front on Ashland, and 120 on War- yen avenue. Inthoe sonthesst corner (as con- templsted) will be & fower twenty-four feot square axd nearly 100 fost high.. This grand Puilding, »long with the Umion Perk Church, wa believe, of thia seminary, em-'| T which it adjoins, will furnish sa avchitectural display of its kind rarely seen. THE FACULTY. .

THR INSIDE OF A STUDIO.' A peep fnto one xoom, which w0 give u9 & sample, rovealed & host of conveniences and or- namentations thet, o many unacquainted with student life, may be surprising. The' Etudy parlor was richly carpefed, and-amply furnished yeith comfortable chairs, sofa, writing snd read- ‘ing desks, & cabinet organ, librarics, otc. On tho walls hung costly and elégant ungmvi%gs of George . Washington, Abrgham . Lincoln, Henry Ward Beecher ; the class of 1870 in Beloit Col- 1lége, six of whom are now in the Seminary, a isrge chromo representing a fish scene, and other pictures. -One window was profusely ‘adorned with vase flowers ot its base, and an English ivythat went clambering up to the top of the casing over inito the' Jibrary and to the foot of:5 -white cross suspended sbove. Tho other wag equally as well -adjusted with the potted gexaninm, fochsia, bigonia, and other plants, and s German'ivy, that Lifowisb songht th oovated portions of the room; From the ceiling pendant as 'z large pot plant known as the “ Wandering Jew.™.:A Sharpe’s rifie hung ovor & chamber doar, with all the necessary concomitants. A barrel'tf apples was near by, and 2 wholo muse- um'ofiother things,from all of which it was surmifed that the Gecupants wero rerdy for & sermon, buffalo hunt; or s general good timo. Of course this was Mr. Brown’s room. NOON PRAYER MEETINGS, A nobn prayer meating was established several years sgo by the Young Men's Christian Asso- cistion.: “Under tho' direction of Mr. D. L. Moody, thé zeslons evangeliat, it has become oneof the institutions of tha city, It will bo remembered-that the meetings were formerly held in the Jecture-room of Farwell Hall, whero large number of worshipers were wont to avail themselves of this daily means of grace. Tho fire split thé Teefing into two - branches, one finding refagd on the South Side, snd the other on the West Sido. Yésterday they were again united, in & Tietv apattment on the third floor of the Methodist Church.

The xoom is pleasant and well light- ed, the furnituts plain and comfortaplo. A good carpet of a rod pattern covers the floor, which rises at tho upper.end fo a platform, where the leader conducts' ‘the cxercices, A rotund stove performs tho du.y of suffusing warmth with alacrity.: The olock om tho wail reminds the worshiper that the‘ sanda of time are runnin avay, and that man is but s flover. A em orga, endowed with musical talent of a high order, sccompanies the songs of praise. The en- tiro sspect of the room is cheerful and inviting. In this room gathered yesterday for tho firat timo the ladies and gentlemen interested in tho work. There weremmany of the old faccs, tho faces of those who ' havo borne the burden of the enterprise. There was Major Whittle, who hies been & constant attendant for years, and Mr. Hitcheock and Mr. Jacobs, 6f whom tho samo maybe said. besides Mesers, Keene, Myers, Walker, Sankey, Revel; Thayne, Bliss, Billings; Davis, Hammond, and others too many to men. tion, Mr. Burnell wa’there :from Aurora, and Mr. Morehouse, from England.

Mr. Burnell re- ported that he had visited geventeen connties, and held institutes which had been successful an full of promise. 5 GENERAL CHURCH NOfES. The Rev. Robert McKenzie, whose church at Flgin wis burned on the 14tk inst., sustaining & 1083 of $14,000, is now soliciting 2id to rebuild. He has met already with moro than osdieary snccess, and is encouraged to believe that, in time, all will bo well sgain. It is proposed to raise $12,000,—of which sum Elgin s expooted togive $8,000. Chicago will be called upon for her quota, snd the balance will bo solicited else- where. Elgin is a_town of risiog prominence, and Las no other Presbyterisn Church. The ono burnod was completed only & few weeks 8go, the congregation straining _every nerve to ‘build it. They ‘are now home- less and unsble of themselves to rebuild. ‘The membership is 100, and the congregati 300. Wo doubt no that Mr. McKenzie, who ia & men of unagmal euorgy sad much belovd by s m will secure the funds requisito for re- g BEV. C. L. THOMPSON delivered sn interesting and instructive address bofore the students of tho Presbyterien Theological Seminary, on last Thursday éven- ing., IE’B subject was ‘ Literature and Chris- tianity.” In its detail, tho history of literature asheld together by the golden clusp of ghiloso- phy was given.

A. B. Freeman, and the organization of the Tirst Church on the 19th of October of that that year. It is steted that “a small wooden house of worship, costing $600, was built on South Water strest, near where the river divides into the North a0 South branches.” One fact, however, has been omitted in this acoount, as in all previous sccounts of the early church, that have appeared from time to time, and that is that the *smalj wooden house ” referred to was erected by Dr. Jobn T. Temple, upon his own property and st his own expenso, the lower floor being used for church purposes by the Baptists end also by the Presbyterlans, and tho upper portion as a school- Toom, The fatt that Dr. Temple, for ix montha, afforded Mr. Freeman & home in his own family seems 2180 to have escaped the mind of the his- torian ; but, inasmuch as Mr. Freeman received from the Home Mission Society a salary of but $100 & year, it was a fact of considerabl impor- tanoe at the time. To the publio generelly thoso facts may be of 7 i mo interest, but s & part of the history of the Baptist Church in this city, and in justice to Dr. Temple, who is still living, and is engaged in the aotive practice of his profession in St. Louis, le’v should not be forgotten. % T writer would not have taken it ipon him- Fell to ni these correerions were it not for the facy tha' the omiscion hay beea so often mada a8 to lead raany to believe that the histori- an of the Bantists has boen so superficial in his eearch for materials that he hag rever heard of theso facts before, althongh they aro so.well known and could so easily bo verified . by living witnesses ; snd were it not also that he knows that the man who is in justico entitled to have them preserved, is so little influen ced by the de- sire for the publicity of acts which were per- formed from a sense of duty and not with the expectation of public approval, that he would never take upon himse!f the taste of supplying such an omission.

The community was zauch exercised yesterday overs painfal ramor that gained ground, of the narrow eecape from a premature deathof s dis- tinguished business men, whose namo is as well known in our city as that of any of our citizens. Tt appears that a night or two ago, Dr. Hollister was roused from his slumbers to attend upon the gentleman in question, whose residenco is upon one of the avenues near the luke, as ho had gwallowed & dose of arsenic, with the evident in- tention of committing suicide. Dr. Hollister found the. patient in a terrible condition of collapso, aud though prompt xemodial sgon- cies were called in, for a Jong time the poor man hung in the balance between lifs and death. Bince then his condition has improved but elight~ ly; and tho chances of Lis recovery are vary elight. His condition yesterday was most_criti- , Dr. Hollister visiting him thres times during the day., An examination of tho gentleman’s ‘business gives no clue to this dreadful attempt upon his own life, a8 the books show him to be freo from any finencial pressure, Neither con any domestic difficulty boregarded as the proba- ble cause, for the domestic relations of the “sick man's family are proverbiafly happy.
