Following the strain of the (Odeerver the National Baptist, of the 26th inst., ornishes quite o curious and elaborate article on Song Worship,” from which we make the fol- extracts:— ‘The first song recorded in the Bible is the song Me ‘Moses, the servant of God; the last is the song the Lamb. The first was a pmwan of victory, by the rescued Hebrews and their great Vendor + the Red Sea, over the utter destruction of their foes, It was an oratorio, whose wild qmeasures ming!cd with the winds and the music of Ford & grand chorus of adoration and their t Veliverer. The last, ‘and of'w: ob sara bas type, is that which the ‘chosen ple ol Hivered tom the, bor of we passed over the sea, timbrel and trumpet, but the sound jing with th-ir harps, and the I rable throug. +, David was the great song write: of the Hebrews. tAlthough he was mighty in battle, and 5] his juests far aud wide, and estab! & pow- empire, yet he did more for the people and land he loved, especially for the perpetuity of their institutions, by his songs, than by bis sw Luther did a better work for Germany and the truth, when he gave the people songs with which ‘0 worship, than wben he nailed his thesis to the sehurch of Wisiemberg. Those embraced great doctrinal tru:h, whicn the conscience and judg- tof the peopie accepted, and which laid a foundation ior his subsequent work. But ful gave tiem hymns in which to worship swhen he by hi rshi the people yave him their hearts in returo. , those hymns vg alive for long years a Gosaet evangelism in Germany, and are now mearly all that survives of the spirituality of the $German reformation. Charles Wesley did, perhaps, as much or more fer Methodism uid ihe revival of evangelical reli- tm Engiand by his hymns as John Wesley or hitueld did by his sermons. Indeed has susg its triumphs through both Europe and America. Dogmatically, it did not Giffer essentially rom Episcupacy or Presbyterian. Foal Ithad no great distinctive feature in doc- a discipline or ordinance. But it had spiritual vitality ; it hau heart, whose warm beating pulses fouched and moved the hearts of the Beouls, and the hearts of the people answered back with joy. Religious worsiip was formal and dead ; the i ters aoguatscd and the people slumbered. Sees sung to the multitudes, and they were “0 ed. Sach hymns as ‘Jesus, Thy boundless love to @e,” or “Oh, for that tenderness of heart,” or “Depth of mercy, can there be,” or “Oh, for a ‘thousand tongues w sing,’”’ and especially such as “Jesus, refuge of my soul’’ and ‘Arise, soul, grise’’—does any one mervel that the itof a true Christia. ie loved such words and such wor- ‘ship? These hyius have become the heritage of "6 people. ‘tere are many others, by other _ Writers, no doubi, as good; but these indicate the secret power which those forms of worship pos- ‘sess which embrace such elements. To this day ‘Methodism sings its way through the land, and wins more by it» songs than by its sermons, The ‘ministers sing, tue people sing, the children sing, ‘everybody sings and everybody to hear ‘them sing, not sv much for the artistic excellence of the music—uot so much for the poetie charms of the verse—but for the warm, heart worship which it breathes. This isa vast power, nd the chiefest advantage which Methodism pos- eesses over other styles of denominational service. BELCIOUS REVIEWS OF THE PAST YEAR. Most of our religious contemporaries this week have timely reviews of religious progress during porn year, with their own peculiar reflections The Evangelist (Presbyterian), after recording the reaching of ‘‘another milestone,’ marking the distance which lies between life and the grave, observes :— Amid all that is dark and discouragi: aspect of our couutry and of the world, ot Une great token of good do we find deacy to upton in the Caurch, The movement in the Presb; ever expected to witness, if the Year te come sees tat auion completed, it will be the mei @ year in the history of the Preaby- Church in America, These things comfort our hearts as we look torward to another year, and think that many of us who sce its beginuing will nos live to one its ond.

There are in Cambridge, Mass., five Orthodox Congregational churches. The first church in Old Cambridge was organized in 1636; Prospect street, in 1827; East Cambridge, 1842; North Holmes church, 1857, and Stearns chapel, in 1865. The present membership of these churches is about one thousand. The whole number of reli- gious societies in the city is over erent The will of the late Mrs. M. T. B. Gladding, of Bristol, R. 1., after various bequests to relatives— $1,400 to the American Board, $200 to the Ameri- can Bible Society and $200 to the Amerioan Home Missionary Society, appropriates $400 for the pur- chase of a designated pew in the Congregational church, for the use of ‘occasional visitors or tem- por residents of said town,” “ssid pew to be called the ‘strangers’ pew.’”” All the rest of the estate is given to the Congregational Society in trust for the benefit of ‘‘aged and indigent female communicants of the church belonging to said society. 3 An ‘Coclesiastical council convened at Brook- field, Iowa, has resolved that Rev. Wm. A. Keith, having committed acts that are grossly immoral, is no longer entitled to the confidence and esteem of the churches. ‘ The second Sabbath evening service in the Boston theatre was conducted by Rev. Dr. Man- ning and the third by President Hopkins, of Wil- liams College. The attendance was good, not- withstanding the storm. This effort is under Uni- tarian auspices. The net gain of Con, tionalism in California last year was eight new churches and four hundred and glis class members. There are now in the State dynein Presbyterian ana forty Congre- gational churches. i EPISCOPAL. The anniversary, meeting of the Orphans’ aome and Asylum of the Protestant. Episcopal church was held yesterday morning, Dr. Gallaudet presid- ing. The proceedings having been opened with prayer, the usual routine business was transacted, after which the reports read and received. The omit report, atter reviewing gen- erally o ing avd prospects of the asylum, read as follows:—‘‘Our expenditures for fuel, clothing, provisions, &c., for 1867, have been $16,212 92; our receipts from church collections, subscriptions, voluntary donations and the 75 cents Fe weekly by the friends of some of the children amounted to $19,639 46. As we have no endow- ment, from the sources just mentioned comes the only supply on which we depend for our daily bread. There are still employed the usual number of persons in the Rome—namely, a matron, three female » ® murse, housekeeper and five domestics. During the year just closed thirty-four children have been ited, ten have been placed out and twenty-four have been returned to their friends— the present number of inmates one hundred and fifty-eight.” The report closed by sho the good already accomplished by the institution, and making some valuable suggestions for further increasing its usefulness. ‘The treasurer’s report show the same goveral results as were referred to in the secretary’ statement; but it mentioned also the fact that the treasurer. held about $6,000 in United States bonds with which to meet the current expenses of the institution. The report of the Building Committee showed that the managers were still indebted to the contractors of the infirmary building to the amount of $10,000. To liquidate this they hada balance of $1,087 39 in the bank, and Mr. Edward Matthews had promised to make a donation of $5,000 on the 4th of February next. There was, therefore, left to be collected & sum of about $4,000. At the close of the business meeting the chil- dren were together and were presented with some gifts from a Christmas tree. The wit Argus says:~-'‘We learn that the Rev. H. C. Potter, formerly pastor of St. Jolin’s church, Troy, has been tendered and has accepted the past ip ot Grace church, ia New York, at a pot om of $10,000 per annum.” The Episcopal Church of the Intercession in this city have hased twelve lots of ground, at $2,200 a lot, situated upen the line of the New Boulevard, ‘between 152d and 153d streets, on the Eleventh avenue, and propose to erect an elegant stone church to accommodate the increasin; population of Washington Heights.

The meeting called for Wednesday evening of last week, at the Brick church in Fif:h avenue, of “all branches of the Presbyterian Church and all who love the Lord Jesus Christ belonging to other churches,” in accordance with the spirit of love eee in the late Union Conven- tion in Philadelphia, was not so fully attended as it would have been had notice been generally iven. Brief remarks were made by the venerable jr. Gardiner Spring, Prof. Smith, and Rev. Dr. Murray, after which the meeting adjourned, to meet in Madison square church, Rev. Dr. Adams’, on the sronipg,. of the first Sunday in January, a week from this evening, when it is hoped ‘that there will be a full representation of all the Presbyterian churches of this city. The following circular has been addressed. to the ministers and clders of the churches con- nected with certain Pennsylvania presbyteries;— Dean Brerauex:—Inasmuch as the late Presbyterian Union Convention in Philadelphia has recommended as ameans for the promotion of Christian union, “that friondly and fraternal intercourse be cultivated (between the several bodies therein represented) by ‘nterchange ot pulpits, by fellowship with one another in social re ligtous meetings and in every practical way, we, the un- Geraigued, mombers of sais carry out the above recommendation, invite all the min- isters and eldora within the bounds of the several pres- ovteries of Huntingdon, Northumbertand, isle, Harrisburg and Big Spring, to meet in conven. tion in the First Presbyterian church of Harrisburg, Pa., on Tuesday, the 14th day of January, 1868, at seven o'clock P, M., for the purpose of consuliation and prayer in regard to the desirableness of tnion, and the Ineans of promoting it, and thereby giving efficieucy to the cause of Christ wjtiin our bounds, Sigued by Rev. Thomas Creigh and othors. City Church Extension. ‘ Ata late meeting in the Presbyterian church on Fifth avenue, Dr. Prime said that thirty years ago there were more churches to the population than now. Then there was one church to every 1,600; now the ratio was one church to every 2,000 of city residents. Church accommodations and members ship had not in late years kept pace with the in- crease of population in this city; while in the country, a6 a whole, the Protestant Churches were more than holding their own, and were reaching somewhat the. outlying, unconverted masses, Twenty-five years ago the city ohurches were all below this point. There were forty Presbyterian churches then. Now there are fifty-six—not a very large increase, surely. ROMAN CATHOLIC, The Montreal Gazette, of the 26th inst., states that Captain Desilets, Military Instructor of the Nicolet College, Mr. Alfred Prendergast, Ensign in the First Company of Three Rivers rifles, and Mr. Henault of St. Cuthbert, left Montreal the day previous, on their way to Rome to join the Papal army. Before leaving Quebec for this city resented to his Grace the wention, with a view to the Rev. Mr. Normal School, whereupon M ur Larocque said, “Go, my child; you have my blessing, and may it accompany you to the feet of the Holy Father, whose blessing you will also receiv. The Echo du Parlement has the following:— “The will of his Eminence the late Cardinal Arch- bishop of Malines was placed yesterday in the hands of M. Duvivier, the president of the tribu- nal. The document, which is dated the 5th of this month, is likely to produce some sensation. By the will of two elderly sisters, named Segers, who died some twenty years ago in Brussels, the Arch- inhe: two houses in Brussels and a splendid perty at Lacken. On his death bed ardinal Stercks restored to the natural heirs this praperty, with the interest which accrued upon during the time it was in his possession.” In 1861 the City Hospital of ‘Troy was founded and ae under ‘the control of the Sisters of Charity as a corporation by special act of the Legislature. At that time the location, not a great distance from the river, and comparatively suburban, was everything that could be desired for the purpose, and the Sisters became enamored of their possession, feeling that they could there fulfil the obligations of the order—deay themselves of comforts, and relieve the necessities of wounded and mutilated humanity. The pride of their mission on earth was not long permitted to remain with them. In ® short time the demands of com- merce exacted that a railroad should be con- structed, and the engineers insisted that the line of the road must pass the City Hospital, and not far from which was the depot. This innovation caused the q guos Sisters of Charity much appre- hension and anxiety, because they saw in it not alone the destruction of their own retirement, but, sadder to them than that, interruption to the re- pose of convalescents and sibly fatal conse- juences to those whose only rescue from pos- sible death would be undisturbed rest. The Troy resulted in the the gas works, which were located nearly opposite the hospital, an ad- ditional disadvantage which could not be over- looked. A an, now im this city, while in attendance on t tients, informed the Siste:» that their good work, to be effectual, must be re- moved away from the gas works and the railroad. Acting upon this suggestion the Sisters purchased 8 site for a new hospital on the hei Troy, on Eighth street, at the terminus of Fulton. The building is to be one of a splendid character, os the leading citizens of Troy are contribating lib- erally to enable the Sisters to commence the work immediately. REFORMED. Rev. Alexander McKelvey has been installed pastor of the Greenpoint, L, L, church. Rev. G. Van Aken has been installed pastor of the church in Monmouth, N. J. Dr. Van Aken, the father, gave the charge to his son, the new pastor. A prominent feature in the Upper Charch of the Ascension is the children’s service every Sunday ‘at a quarter-past three o’clock, The service and the music are carried on by the children, and a sermon is d either by the rector, Rev.
