Oditor Abbeville Press and Banner: In your issue of 3d inst., is a commuication over the signature of Koinoinia iving some account of the Prosbyterian Conference which recently assembled at Lbbeville C. H. The meeting was calld by the Chairman of the Executive lommittee of Domestic Missions, and the bject was to ascertain the condition of lie churches in Abbeville District 'his information is given to Presbytery wice a year, but there is no impropriety n inquiring into it oftener, if necessary, like these meetings when the Elders nd Deacons?who are the representaves of the people?take an active part, [iey are calculated to do much good, and believe if these officers of the Church re re to meet frequently to consult upon k rx mAaf 11 Ifnl Ia MVAmnfA f Kfi iC uicauo iuuou uncijr i.v jjivuivwv vuv | pi ritual interests of all, that there rould be no telling the amount of good fliich 'they might accomplish?they rould become "warmed up" themjlves, and on their return would imartsome of their warmth to their resective congregations. I go beyond the Deacon in "firing up," ot only the engine, but each little tove and the whole body of passengers -but not with money. I dislike to see o much prominence given to money in he Church, as though it were the great oeans of evangelizing the world?why uoney?or the love of it has perhaps lone more to retard the advances of Christianity than all else together. Let is talk of it on Change or in the market laces, but in tho Church it should ocupy a subordinate place, and when it is aid in a meeting of ministers, elders nd deacons, that whenever the pastor's alary is not promptly paid he ought to ease preaching, the doors of his church hould be shut and his pulpit become ilent, and when the remark Ls publish' d by one who, from his Greek name, suppose to be a minister of the Goael as "too s:ood to be lost," I feel, I eel, that we have drifted a long way rom the Apostle Paul. Money may be -it is necessary to carry on the operaIons of the Church. The Pastor's salay should be paid. It is a debt due by he congregation, h# does not perhaps now the amount subscribed by a single ridividual?it is not his business to now; and often the reason it is not romptly paid, is because the Deacons? rho are elected to attend to this very aatter?do not do their duty. If the results of the deliberations of he Conference are embodied in the resutions which were unanimously adoptd, I cannot but express my disappointaent. The first resolution reads as foldws : "That a committee of five be apnointd to devise a plan for managing the fliat.ces of the Church, and that this Vim ml ft r>o ronnrf. f.h#? "Rxpmitl Vfi Com aittee of Domestic Missions." Have the finances of the Church beome so unruly that Presbytery, Synod, nd the General Assembly cannot man,ge them ? What have the Conference o do with the finances of the Church? ,Vhat has the Committee on Domestic klissions to do with them? I asked myelf these questions, but as I received 10 answers, I now ask them of any one vhc knows. The fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh esolutions may be consistent together, is they refer to the same end, but by lifferent means?they are as follows: "That the deacons of each church, vith the elders, be recommended to nakean assessment upon all the memjers of their respective churches, in mch assessments, takiu^ into considerat/>?? tVin mnana nnrl oirnnmstAnnpH of ;ach church-member and thereby fixing ind apportioning the assessment." "That we recommend to the deacons )f each church upon the refusal or negectof any church-member to pay his issessment made as above, to report such refusal or neglect to the church tession, who are recommended to take luch steps therein as may bo deemed proper." "That we recommend to the several jhurches who may adopt in practice the foregoing resolutions to report the result x> the Presbytery." "That we recommend to the several jongregations to adopt, if not already in practice the plan of collections from all persons and of all ages, every day when religious services shall be held in their Jhurches, and that special collections be &ken up for their respective objects, on ^he days appointed by the General As ierauiy." To the seventh resolution no exceptions are taken, I believe the plan now generally adopted in our chuiches is, to five the congregation, every Sunday immediately after service, an opportunity of making voluntary contributions for the Use of the Church?thus giving becomes a means of grace and associat ed with the worship of God. I am opposed to the fourth and fifth resolutions because I regard them impracticable, anti-Presbyterian and destructive of the I grace of giving. We are not told what 11 the assessments are to be made for, but that U not imnortant. The deacons and ^ elders only know their own means and circumstances, and therefore, with pro- j priety, may assess themselves?and oth- g er church-members will do the same, d notwithstanding their "refusal or neglect" may be reported to the Church fl Session "to take such steps therein as a may be deemed proper." My Irish suggests to me that the proper steps for a Church Session to take in such cases Is f* to stand still. I have the highest respect r( and confidence in the brethren who b: composed th Conference and aaaurej them that wtfat I have written Is to ? "exonerate my conscience," and vrith ft no disposition to find fault. rv r i iia : ? ? b John Phillippe Eemble. ? When Kemble made his first appearance in London, excellent come- " clians abounded; but Henderson was 0 the only tragic of any pretension left. ? His career, too, was shortly to close: so G that the new actor, like his sister, had every advantage of opportunity. On g] the 80th of September, 1783, a few days Q after his brother Stepheu had appeared fa at Covent Garden, John Phillippe first t] trod the boards of Drury Lane as ^Hamlet. From the beginning to the end he was perfectly successful. His singular- a ly handsome figure and grace, his ele- i gant dress, his extraordinary likeness- to his sister, reaching even to the voice, g, and his perfect self possession and delibe- j ration, struck every critic. Though his v first appearance was not an axtraordinary and tumultuous success like his sister's, like Garrick's, like Kean's, it is C interesting to read the account of it, a remembering tbe great career which la}' 1 in the future beyond it: F "His reading of the part was different from Garrick's or any other player's, g He threw a softness and tenderness over j tbe character. His performance was t evidently (he result of careful and in- e tellectual study of the play?there was the most judicious elocution, and a new emphasis. The same imperfection that o had imperiled tbe success of his sisteron c her first appearance was noticed in his b voice, but this was imputed to his being q accustomed to the smaller Dublin house, v Still, in its softer inflection, it showed uncommon feeling. John Taylor was struck with the laboriously critical tone g of tbe character, but owned that henev- s er saw such an improvement as study . and repetition brought to the represeu- ? tation?an improvement owirn; in no slight degree to the laborious ixircise of r having written out the part no less than ( forty times." The brother and the sister appeared togetnerior tne nrstiime 111 tne "uame- s sterbut Ifemble did not make much s of Beverley. Then came the triumph of c a royal command, arid they played in a "King John" splendidly. Court favor, t then only bestowed on real merit, and i unattainable by low burlesque actors i and idiotic comic singers, meant much i in those days, and was lavishly bestowed upon the Kembles to the last. From that moment Mrs. Siddons reign- ^ ed supreme as an interpreter of Shakes- f peare, and her brother advanced on his & slow and steady course, making every t step sure. His OtheUo, to which Mrs. ? Siadons played Desdemona with ex- a quisite grace and softness, was an ad- & vance toward those grand and majestic ' interpretations for which he was later to t be famons. He played OtheUo in the t, dress of an English general officer.? v Soon his magnificent performance of n Macbeth, for his own benefit, supported e by his sister, was to tbrow all his former feats into the shade. Besides this mas- j, terpiece Othello was a failure. For the 0 first time in his career, John Philip ^ Kemble was greeted with tumultuous a and unbounded applause. On this sue- j cess ensued two monotonous years, full E of triumph to the sister, and of hard v work and study to the brother, who j, was cautiously and patiently trying ex- j perimonts in great parts. To this period s belongs the story of his marriage, which j, surprised every one, and certainly was v inconsistent with his cautious, cafbulafc- c ing and self-peeking character. The lady was the widow or Brereton, a handsome man and an indifferent actor, who a died in a lunatic asylum in 1787. She 1 was pretty, interesting, but not elever, i and quite penniless. He signified his c intentions.to her inavery royal manner, c informing her that she should shortly 1 hear some very good news. Her moth- a er, interpreting the oracular utterance to a indicate a proposal of marriage, bade her acquiesce, which she did.
