ANNIVERSARY WEEK IN NEW YORK, FIRST DAY. American and Foreign Christian Union, ‘The members of this society met last evening, in the Amity Street Church. The attendance was small, proba- bly on account of the weather being so unfavorable. ‘The services of the evening were commenced by singing’ after which the Rev. Dr. Dewirr made a prayer, calling for the Divine blessing on the efforts of the society, and all kindred associations. Previous to the sermon, the Rev. Dr. Bainp came for- ward, and stated to the audience that the society before whom the sermon was this evening to be delivered, had been in existence about two years. It was formed out of three socicties—the “ Evangelical,” and two other societies, The labors of the American and Foreign Christian Union are exerted principally among Koman Catholics. Within the last year more than one | hundred laborers, apeaking our own language, have been | cmployed in our own country, Many of these are Irish- men, and some are Ansericans, Besides these, we have employed Frenchmen, Spaniards and Portuguese, ‘The society extends its labors to Frauce, Belgium, Chili, Pera and the West India Isiands, Tho reverend gentleman then went on to state some of the leading features of the soctety, from which it appeared that it is the peculiar duly Of its members to labor for the conversion of Komin Catholics to Protestanisin., He concluded by stating that the regular anniversary of the society would be held at he Tabernacle, on Tuesday, when the yearly report will be read, and those who feel interested might leara more «fthe doings of the association, its objects and accom. plishments, ‘The Kev. Dr, Wu.sants then took the pulpit, and nounced as bis text the passage contained ia parts of he 6th and 7th verses of the 4th chapter of Zachariah as follows : NoVby might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of Horts. Who art thou, O great mountain? Be- fore Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain.” ‘The preacher introduced the application of his text to the Chureh of Rome, by alluding to the scones which were enacted ut St. Peter's, Rome, on Easter Sunday, when, in the midst of pomp and splendor, the Pope is ac. cumstemed to pronounce his benediction on the citizens of Rome, and upon pilgrims and other travellers that may be in the papal city at the time If, indved, said he, the ope cf Rome be the Viewr of Ubrist—if rightfully he acks the allegiance of all Christians of all lanids— then has it been most happy that they have all Feceived the benediction. But the speaker could by no means accord to the Pope the vicarious office. From’thia point, Dr. W. proceeded to examine some of tho claims ret up Ly the Komish chursh for religious supremacy, and the signs of future prosperity, ‘The speaker did not think the phenomena which presented themseives tn | the religious world, were such as tended to the conclu- sion that Romanism was permanently gaining ground. At a subsequent part of his sermon he spoke of the Ro- mish missionary efforts in Parayuay and California, and compared them with the missionary eiforis of Protes- tents at Martha’s Vineyard, and among the Cherokees aud Delaware Indians, drawing @ conclusion favorable to the labors of the Protestants © Romy,” said he, “sets up man as the final exponent ‘and oracte ef religious opinion.” We acknowledgs divine authority where Kome puts human authority. We allow that Diind rea-on needs a Divine guide. Kome goes to Peter's deiegates—we go to Peter's Master for instruction and guidance. Let Rome, then, resort to flesh aud blood. We resort to the Father of all, who is willing to hear the feeblest cry asking for instruction, Romanisi is a visi- bie church, and is necessarily obliged to keep up that church by temporal appliances, Protestantism is not & Visible chureh; and berce, argued the speaker, needod nove of those appliances upon which the Romish church so much depends, The preacher here went at considerable length into the axguineut in support of this proposition, claiming that Rooanivn sustuins itself by the visible menns within the prescribed rales of the chureh while Protestanti-m relied wholly on the sid of the Almighty, uring only those means which sre consistent with the dug performance of obvious dut«s. Allusion was made tothe course which the popes bave pursued in reference to the political affairs cf Europe, and the speaker argasd that the pontiffs had always beeo found on the side of tyrants and oppressors. In alluding to the act of the present Pope, in commencing # course consistent with popular sentiment, at tLe time of the late revolutions, he said that Pope and Cardinais soon stood aghast at the sightof the spirit of liberty which they had favoked. ‘The preacher parsed to a comparison of the people of Catholic countries with those which were Protestant— lacing on oue side Holland, Scotland, England, Switaere Eeaoe contrasting them with Italy, Spain, and Portu- ‘The doctrine of absolution, and the sale of indul- enees, were alluded to in anything but flattering terms, | and the fact noted that St. Peter's was built on the pro- ceeds of the sale of indulgences, The sermon was well written; but as ‘ge was no provision for mombors of the prese—neith: Weables nor lights beiag provided for Teporters—it was impossible to get anything more than some of the poivts of the discourse. A’ contribution was taken up after the sermon, ia aid of the funds of the s9- ekty. Amertoan Home Misslonary Soclety. Last evening, at half past seven o'clock, the Rev. Davin IL. Kiopet., of Pitsburgh. preached the annual sermoa be- fore the American Home Missionary Society, in the Mer- cer street Presbyterian charch. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the wenther, the attendance was nume- rous, The rev. geutloman took his text from 67th Psalm, verve 1; “God, be merciful unto us, and bles us; and enuse his face to shine upon us, that thy way may be known vpon earth, thy saving health among all nations.”* The establishment of iniseionary sc *s here and in (her lands. is the true and only way of evangetizing tiv world. The text exbibits the ancient church under a beautiful, and perhaps a novel aspect thatan expensive benevolence was practised e days. A glorious temple was erected, which was ad and decorated with a costly magnificence before wi modern philanthropy locks small, ‘The Jows delighted to Deautiful the place where God planted his fuotstops.

There is no warrant of safety, ualexs we make Christiat miseions collateral with the extension of the population, | ‘and accompany the emigrant tothe West, in the piant- | ing of churches wherever he settles. Uniess we do this, | this country, the star of hope to bewildered nations, will itself wander. Religious institutions did not rise spon- | Aaneously, Men loved darkness rather than light. ‘This ‘was the case expecially with those migrated from the Eastern seaboard to the far West, first perhaps, to Mli- | nois or Iowa, or Wisconsin, then to Californin, ‘until at | last they are dashed on the shore of the Pacific, and then God knows where, ‘The learned divine then weut | on to draw a vivid and fearful picture of the West.

They spare no exertions, The question was, would Protestants wait idly inactive | tll anti-Christ_ extended his inituence over the coun- try, and the West became the seat of the beast. Catholics were united—Protestants were divided. Till Protestants worked like them and co-operated together, they could not expect success, ‘The rev. gentleman con- cluded one of the most eloquent sermons ever delivered | in this city, by appealing to the Christian sympathies of | his audience for generous support of home missions, | Presbyterian Board of Missions, A meeting of the Board was held last Sabbath evening, | at the first Presbyterian church, in the Fifth avenue. | The meeting was but thinly attended, in consequence, we suppose, of the inclemency of the night. ‘The service was commenced by singing the 19th Psalm. | Sd verse, After which, the Rey. Dr. Bepet offered up a prayer, and was followed by Rev. Mr. Punirs, who read ‘astutement from the annual report, but he read it in so Jow u tone that he was inaudable to those in the gallery. | After he had finished, the 607th hymn was sung by the | choir, | ‘The Rey. Doctor Ports then came forward and ad- dressed the congregation, He selected as his text the | 14th, 16th and 16th verses, chap. 2d, of Paul's Epistle to the Thesselonians, He then aid, that in the passage be- fore us, he, (the Apostle Paul,) states the principies of the ministry, and he declares himself ready to abide | by those principles—that is, to preach them to the world, to the Greek, the barbarian, and the Roman, | Now, Kome, said he, at this time, was the mistress of the world, and at the same time it was the most profligate city on the face of the earth. It was | filled with Pagans, Jews, infidels and philosophers but even to them he was ready to preach the gospel, and he was not ashamed cither to do it or to avow | it, Doctor Potts then said, the object of his discourse would bé, fit, to consider in what sense the expression: % indebtedness” was used by the apostle, and in the first place, in what sense he held it to be a duty to preach the gorpel—that is.what was the source of his obligation ip the mind of Paul. It was, therefore, because it was the law of lis Master, and that be was the servant of the Lord Jesus Christ, When he was arrested om his way to Damaseus, he was converted to the faith of Christ, and his conversion and appointment to the ministry were rimultancous—at the same time ; and those two events had # command over him, and he felt himself bound to obey it; and it was not alone simply for his love of Christ, | but it Was a duty he felt that be had taken upon himself.
