My last letter gave your readers an account of the proceedings of the great Mvangelical Alliance Con- ference, which has been holding in this good city 0 Berlin, during the first four days of its eeasion—in other words, from Wednesday of last week till Sa turday night. I now propose to continne the narra tion down till this evening, when, thaConference terminated its labors. On the Sabbath many able sermons were delivered in the German language, in the churches of Berlin Pottadam and many of the villages around, as wel! as at several towns and cities along the railroads which extend in all directions, like the radii of a wheel, from Berlin as a centre. A number of excel lent French sermons were also preached in this city, by some of the distinguished clergymen who are here from France, Belgium and /a Suisse Romande, as the French portion of Switzerland is oftencalled. A very large number of people im Berlin un derstand French, and many speak it with fluency. There is a large Hoguenot element in the population, owing to the fact that the great Blector of Brandenburg, who may be called the real founder of the Prussian Kingdom, opened the gates of his capital to the persecuted and exiled Protestante of France at the revocation of the Edict offNaates, in 163), Even ag late as the middle of the last century there were five French Protestant churches in Berlin. ‘The Gospel was also preached in English at four or five ditheens places waich were “4 at. their service, besides the chapel at to the English E heney Hosen Pipeen. of the Methodist Epis can © urch in the United States, delivered an ex- nt discourse at noon, in the National church in Koster street. The Rev. Dr. Alexander, of Edin- burg, preached a sermon in the Moravian church, at 10 o’el P.M. The routine which has been pursued this week in the Conference has been similar to that which was ed last week. In the morning, the session oman at ten o'clock and closing at two P. 1) has been spent in hearing able discourses from dis- tinguished Germans, or from men who spoke Ger- man. | will not trouble your readers with a notice of those which Drs. Kraft of Bonn, Boyachiog of Carlsruhe, Schenkel of Heidel! , Heppe of bug, soe others, delivered an and Tuesday. On Wednesday, however, Dr. Plitt, of Heidelberg, de- livered a most important on the subject of “Religious Liberty,” which went the whole length of the American doctrine—maintaining, not only the right of evéry man to hold but to express and propagate his opinions on religious subjecta—always provided that those opinions are not subversive of good morals and the blished order of society— an exce; which it is scarcely worth while to make—for such opinions cannot, in any sense, be religious, Dr. Plitt ably maintained that the civil government has no right to interfere in questions of feligion, much less to restrain or abrogate reli, freedem. His discourse or essay will soon be pub- lished and circulated it Germany, and will, unquestionably, make a great noise. Un Thursday (today) the Rev. Mr. Cairns, of Berwick, , read a discourse on the benefits to be expected from the Conference in behalf of a union of British and German Seslogy, He was followed by Professor Schenkel, of Heidelberg, who ursued the same train of thought, and showed how thinking mind of the German and the active mind of the Anglo-Saxon races may work together, for the greater advantage of both. In the afternoon sessions (from half-past 4 till 7 o'clock) the attention of the Conference was calied to reports of a practical nature—for iastance, two hours were Cag in listening to a report on the state of religion in the United States, written by Professor Schaff, of Mercersburg, Pa., and read by the Rev. Mr. Kuntz, and to addresses from the Rev. Dr. Nast, of Cincinnati, and the Rev. Dr. Baird. An aadress from a Spaniard, Senor De Mora, followed. Tuesday afterncon was mainly devoted to the sub- ject of ‘Missions among the Jews and Missions among the Heathen.” A half dozen addresses, at Jeast, were made, for the most part by returced mis- sionaries and secretaries of missionary societies. Wednesday afternocn was appropriated to reports on the state of things in Turkey, especially in rela- tion to the Armenians and to Greece. The gentle- men who spoke were two distinguished American missionaries, who came from Constantinople and Athens expressly to attend the Conference. The account which the Rev. Dr. Dwight gave of the former country was heard with deep interest. He stated, wnter allia, that there are now more than thirty organized Protestant or Reformed churches among the Armenians of Turkey, and that the gospel is preached in one hundred places to Armenians !n the Turkish empire, mostly in private houses. He stated that the Turkish government is sincerely de- sirous of establishing religious liberty, and in proof of the fact, said that a converted Turk may now be seen , prosching the ay every Saboath in Con- stantinople, and the Bib le is daily sold beneath the shadow of the Mosque of St. Sophia. He gave an interesting account of the conversion and baptism of a Turkish lady, and of the decision of a Turkish | court of justice, that she bad the right to follow hee religious ccnvictions, and further, that her relstions must cease to trouble her. And yet it is scarcely five yeais since a Turk was put to death at Adriano- ple for having me a Obi 2. As to Greece, Dr. King stated many most inte- testing facts res; g the Greek Church in that country, its doc’ 3 and practices, and respecting their progress of education and knowledge, such as the influence of the press (there are twenty-four newspapers in the kingdom, seventeen of whico are in Athens.) and the growing influence of the litera- ry institutions—one University (at Athens) with 42 professors, 590 students, and a liltary of 100,000 volumes: 11 gymonasia, and eighty high schools, 450 public schools, with 495 teachers and 41,000 scholars, of whom 6,500 are females; 300 voluntary or private schools, with 10,000 scholars- making ia all 750 schools and 51,000 scholars; besides the schools for training up ecclesiastics. Other persons also addressed the Conference in relation to other count In the forenoon of to-day two interesting papers were read, the first by the Rev. Mr. Berkholtz of Riga, on the reli; te of Russia, and the other by the Rev. Dr. Ezekacsz, of Perth, on the religious state of Hungary. At that seasion, the Prince (heir apparent) of Prussia, his brother, Prince Carl and bis consort, Chevalier Bunson, and the Austrian be ssador were present during apart of the ses- ion. This afternoon. after the reading of two reports on East afd West Germany, by Messrs. Kantz and Gobel, the Dean of Canterbury, the Rev. Dr. Pattou and the Rey Pastor Fisch, of Paris, addressed the Conference. They were followed by the celebrated Dr. Krummacher, who delivered the tareweli ad- dress. He was very eloquent, and was heard with the deepest attention by the vast audience, which completely filled the large church in which the meetings were held. The King aud Queen, Lord Bloomfield, the British Ambassador, and the Ameri- can Ambassador were present on the occasion, acd remained till the close. At the termmation of Dr. Krummacher's elo- quent and glowing speech, the whole assembly arose and sang the Te Deum Laudamus, toe noble choir of the Dom Kirche, (or cathedral where the Court worship when in the city,) leading, with organ and tsumpet accompaniment. It waa a grand spectacle. ‘The King and Queen and everybody else jeivedheartily in that noble Christian song. At its clowe the Conference was pronounced to be dis- solved, and the immense audience slowly retired. At 8 o'clock to-night about 400 members of the Conference assembled in the Moravian Church to partake of the Eucharist together. It was a re- markable sight to see 60 many countries represented there. It is literally troe that there were persoas there from all the Protestant countries in the world. ‘The services were performed in the German, English and French languages. And thus terminated one of the most remarkable conventions of modern times. As! have already informed the readers ot the Henatn, it is the fourth of the series of these meetings. The first was held in London in 1846; the second in the same city in 1861, and the third in Paris in 1855. Each succes sive meeting has been more important than the one Which preceded it, ‘The London Times asks: “ What good are such meeting going to do?” Much and manifold. Toey make Protestants of different communions and differ- ent countries better acquainted with each other's opinions avd characters, with each other's trials and wants, and they lead to more combined and well- advised efforts to extend their common faith. They have already in eleven years begun to exert an im- mense influence in behalf of trne religious liberty—- liberty for all, be their religious opinions what tuey may. When the Conference was organized, last Thurs- day, ove of the first things done was the appoint ment of a large committee, with liberty to hold ita meetings apart trom the Conference, and this com- mittee was authorized to consider and report upon many questions and subjects of a ical nature which could not well be consid: in #0 large a meeting as the Conference itself. This committee met and appointed three sub-committees—one for Western and Central Europe, another for Southern Eoyope, and the third for Northern Europe, in- cluding Russia. ‘These several committees met cften, and con- sidered the sabjecta which camo before them, and reported to the General Committee. For instance, the Committee on Northern Europe took into consideration the difficulties in the Duchy of Schleswig between the German and Danish Chris- tians (both nts) ; the persecutions of the Baptists in Bweden; the Jewish mission in Poland, and the publication and circulation of the sacred —— = the Russian a This —_ : ~~ may my, in paenng, proper memorial to the En rot Russia, which was presented to him yes- terday at the Palace of Charlottenburg, four miles from Berlin, just as he rose from the table of the King of Prussia, his uncle, with whom he had been dining, The Committee on Southern Hurope con- sidered the case of the Italian and Waldensian Christians in Piedmont, and addressed a letter to both, which was aperarer by the General Com- mittee, and also by the Conference. A letter to the dispersed Protestants in Papal countries was also approved and So, too, the Committee on Central and Western Enrope considered the in- stances of persecution in Hanover and some other parts of Germany, and reported well on the cases. In some instances the sub-committees prepared letters or memorials, and in some recom the appointinent of deputations; and in all cases their action seemed to be judicious. In one instance only, did the Conference refuse to adopt the course which the General Committee had recommended— that was the adoption of a memorial to the govern: ments of rap ay, the question of religious liberty. This the ference deemed to be of doubt- fol utility, and even of doubtful expediency, in the phe in which cy} fb pmay? - Ti cially (1 aw because ative part. wl the King of Prose had taken in behalf of the Con- ference, Perl they decided wisely. The matter demands more and tion. Last Monday afternoon all the American mem- bers of the Conference accepted of the invi- tation of the Hon.
