History of Williamsburg Church A discourse delivered on occasion of 120th Anniversary of the organization of the Williamsburg Church, July 4, 1856, Kingstree, S. C., with notes and an Appendix, by Rev. JAMES A. WALLACE, Pastor of the Church. "There is a voice of years that are gone. They roll before me with all their deeds."—Ossian. Salisbury, N. C.: 1856. pp 122.

This little book relates the history of one of our oldest and most prolific churches. We regret that we could not give it an earlier and more extended notice. The church of Williamsburg was founded by emigrants from the North of Ireland, who reached the country between the years 1730 and 1755. One of their earliest cares was to establish the worship of God in their new home. Their first call was to the Rev. JOHN WILLISON, of Scotland. In this they were unsuccessful. The church was formally organized in August, 1736, by Rev. ROBERT HERON, a Minister from Ireland. It had its full share in the sufferings and exploits of the Revolutionary period. The names of JAMES, MOUZON, and BRADLEY, are enrolled among the patriots of that season of trial. The churches of Indian Town, of Mount Zion, of Brewington, and Zion Church in Maury Co., Tennessee, were formed by emigration from the church of Williamsburg. Mr. WALLACE has performed an acceptable service in rescuing the history of this church and colony, from oblivion, and in perpetuating the memory of those who have performed such a memorable part in securing our religious and civil privileges.

ERRATA.

The reader is requested to correct the following errors of the Press in the article on Dr. Breckinridge's Theology. Many others might be noted, but these obscure the sence. Page 595, line four from top, for "depth" read "strength."

P. 596, line three of second paragraph, for "enriches," read

underlies."

P. 597, line twelve of note, for "therin," read believer," on same page next to last line of note, after the word "objective," read, "better for Dr. B.'s purpose."

IN entering upon a brief discussion of the revision movement, it is due to ourselves and to those who entertain the same opinions, to say that we hail with pleasure all efforts to disseminate the Holy Seriptures, and all commentaries, translations, paraphrases, notes, and auxiliaries of whatever kind, conducive to a proper understanding of the Scriptures. To spread a knowledge of the truth abroad, is the great duty of all Christians-of all good men. And regarding the Bible as the great chart of all human rights, its moral code as the only perfect summary of all duties, as a guide to all wise legislation, and the principles taught and illustrated in its sacred pages, as the only hope of the peace, perpetuity and prosperity of our nation; we regard it the sacred duty of every patriot to aid in propagating it through the length and breadth of our land. It is worth more than all human constitutions, all political mass meetings, philosophic theories of government, or learned and eloquent political discussions. The fact that every good man loves the Bible and every bad man hates it, speaks volumes. The noble origin and the high destiny it claims for man, is the source of his highest aspirations and of his holiest inspirations. Here is the great secret of his wonderful progress in civilization, in literature, art and science. Substitute for the light of the Bible the dark dreams of Atheism, Pantheism or Infidelity, and man in his own estimation placed on a level with the brute will soon assimilate to the brute. History and philosophy alike verify this fact.

As christians and patriots, then, we stand forth the humble but uncompromising advocates of the Bible. We regard all efforts of
