Cone ami myaelf enmuient'ed a protracteil meeting at Organ Church, which continued near two weeks; re salting in the hopeful converaion of forty (40) persons, aud a general awakening of the membership. As the iiersons professing were nearly all members of onr church, With -a few of other churches, wc have as y«t had no ooeesSiona nt this ph’u-e. During this ni.Vting, Bro. Denny, of the (lennan Refonnwl Chnreh, did as very material serviic. Kmbraeiug the third Sunday in Deremhcr, we liehl a similar aieeting at St. Peter’s Chnreh, continuing nearly a week, at which seven (7) professed reconeiliatiiai. Here, also, the membership were rnoatly the subjects, and generally were mm-h edified. PridaWnight before Christmas, tf, A commenced at Union Church. Owing to the iudemeney of the weather, the attendance at find was small, but ns the weatlier became fiiTomble, tin' attendaoee and interest increased. At the end of the first two weeks, when the meeting dosed, from thirty- fire to forty (.15 to 40) persons pro fotsed a comfortable aftsnmnec. Sev eral of these were back-alidera re claimed, some were members who had not previously professed s hope, and a goodly number who had never keen received into full communion, mostly youth. Most of these have given their names with a view to the necessary instruction for Bill comma foes. We are sadly mistaken if this church and community generally, have not been much jwoHted. At this meeting, from various causes, the writer was moat of the time withimt ministerial aid. Bro. It. Drown, however, and several active foymen, did good service. The meetings from lint to last were characterized by nnusnal atten- thastwthe preaching of the Word, a *h»w b*t gradual increase of prevuil- uerioosuess untl deep solemnity, with eom]>anitivoiy little ootbnrut and noisy exeiteuMMit, just as wc juefcr. --.j u - ■ Now, Memr*.

Every lover of the peculiar forms and usages of our tlhureh desires, of coimns that it should prevail as wide ly us (xmaible, and would rejoice to have it acquire, so for as its general recejKitHi U concerned, a notional character. The conditions under which this is possible, liecoiuc, there fore, a very important jioint for con sideration. There ant two pruuiiucut featun-H, in onr country ami age, which materially affect this problem, and these are the spirit of imqttiiy usd the tore if freedom. V utter tlie intluenee of these principles, it ht im possible but that a great variety of opinions should be belli and frrrly «serried in refevenoe to all )«oints connected with the Chnreh. Urent diversities will inevitably arise, even among those who are in cutire agree ment as to tlic fundamental poiuts of tin- faith. Now the question is not whether it might not be better if ull would agree, uml the Church lie pre seated in ouc unifpnn as|ieet all over the laud.
