Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Presbyterian Historical Almanac, and Annual Remembrance of the Church for 1865, Vol. 7 The Histories of Theological Seminaries are being prepared. Two have already been published, viz.: Princeton, New Jersey, and Union, New York. The others will appear in due time. The Biographical Department contains the Memoirs of those who have died during the year, to which are added the Biographies of relatives who have been Presbyterian Ministers, but who have died at a previous date. Efforts are in progress to secure a Me moir Of every Presbyterian Minister who has died in the United States and British Provinces of North America. The result of these efforts will, Of course, appear in the Almanac. The Histories of Churches, one of which appears in this volume, are giving place to Histories Of Churches by Presbyteries and Synods. These histories, minute in details, will be published with Ecclesiastical Maps Of the Synods showing the location of each Church, the boundary of each Presbytery, with such other facts and illustrations as will render them acceptable to the friends of the Almanac. The manse question, to which has very naturally been added Libraries, is continued and with an indication of increasing inte rest on the part of the people, showing a very remarkable change for the better. There can be no doubt of this fact, that just as soon as the people thoroughly understand the necessity and im portance Of providing a Comfortable Home for their Minister, Manses will arise all over our land, and even now signs are visible that in some Presbyteries they will try to have a Manse for every congregation within their bounds; and another encouraging fact is the readiness with which the people will co-operate with the Minister or Elder, or any member of any given congregation, who will take up and urge the subject publicly.
