The Board of Domestic Missions is incorporated in Pennsylvania, under the title of "The Trustees of the Board of Domestic Missions of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United Of the Board of Education the corporate name is "The Trustees of the Board of Education of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America." The Board of Foreign Missions is incorporated under the laws of New York, under the style of "The Board of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America." The Board of Publication is incorporated under the laws of Pennsylvania, under the style of "The Trustees of the Presbyterian Board of Publication." The Board of Church Extension of the General Assembly is not incorporated, but the following form of bequest, it is supposed, would be valid :- "I bequeath to my executors the sum of dollars, in trust, to pay over the same in after my decease, to the person who, when the same shall be payable, shall act as Treasurer of the Board The Fund for the relief of Disabled Ministers, and the Needy Widows and Orphans of Deceased Ministers, is under the care of the Trustees of the General Assembly, who give the following form:- I give and bequeath to my executors hereinafter named, that they shall, within months after my decease, pay the same to George H. Van Gelder, Treasurer of the Trustees of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States tors and their families as the said the Trustees of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America shall or may designate." When real estate or other property is given, let it be particularly designated. OUR TREASURY.-We are happy to be able to inform our readers that we have this day, (Dec. 15th,) paid one-half, ($5000,) of the money borrowed from the bank, and we have now no doubt that we shall be able to pay the remainder, which will become due a month hence. All the missionaries have been punctually paid as they have reported, and we shall, we trust, be able to meet all our obligations promptly. But while the facts above stated are encouraging, they should not relax the efforts of our friends to increase their contributions. The amount contributed by the churches during the first nine months of the present fiscal year, instead of being double, has not reached more than one-third as compared with the amount contributed during the same period last year. The increase up to the 1st of Dec. amounted to about 30 per cent. Unless the churches, therefore, which are yet to be heard from, more than double their contributions, the Board will not be able to do half the work which is demanded of it. To Missionaries. A small fund having been placed in our hands to furnish missionaries with "Hodge on the Atonement," those who have not already been supplied, will please make their wants known to the Treasurer of the Board, 907 Arch Street, Philadelphia. To save unnecessary correspondence, we will add, that if any should apply and not receive a copy of the work, it will be because the fund has been exhausted. Gracious Outpouring of the Holy Spirit at New Market, Ky. The readers of the Record will, no doubt, be delighted to learn that the Lord has granted a very gracious and precious visitation of his Holy Spirit to the people of the above named place. The village is situated in the southwest part of Marion county, and near the base of a long range of hills called Muldraugh's Hills, which forms the dividing line between what is called the "Green River Country," and the other part of the State of Kentucky. Some twenty-five years ago there was a small New School church organized at this point. It flourished a few years under the ministry, first of Rev. T. H. Cleland, and then of Rev. S. W. Nicholls. Then they were without a preacher for a good while, and the organization finally was broken up by the death and removal of the members. For nearly ten years past there has been very little preaching of any kind in the village or neighbourhood, and the people have been without a Sabbath-school or prayer-meeting; and many of the children and older persons have been accustomed to spend the holy Sabbath in hunting, fishing, and such like amusements. There is a considerable Catholic element in this part of the country, and they have a school and chapel not far from the village. Within a few weeks past the people about the village (not professors of religion) have shown a strong desire to have preaching, and to repair the old church building, which is greatly out of repair. Rev. Dr. Cleland, above named, who is pastor of the Assembly. Church at Lebanon, and who occasionally preaches in the neighbourhood, informed the district missionary of the state of things in and around the village. Immediately it was agreed that Dr. Cleland and the missionary should hold a series of services there. The time was set and appointments forwarded to begin on Friday before the fourth Sabbath of October. The services were begun at the time mentioned; everything seemed propitious. Weather mild and pleasant, roads in fine order, and nights bright and clear. People came out in numbers from far and near. Numbers of them walking night after night a long distance. Quite a number of Catholics were present time and again. It was soon manifest that the Spirit of God was there. People were deeply solemn, and the attention was very marked and earnest. Many were deeply impressed. We are unable to know how many were made subjects of saving mercy and grace. The meetings were held morning and evening for fifteen days, and at the close the people seemed very loath to have services close. The results so far are as follows: A church organized with thirty-four members, of which only six had been in the former church above named. Sixteen heads of families, male and female, were added. A prayer-meeting was established, and measures taken to repair the house of worship, and steps are being taken to revive the Sabbath-school. Such is the goodness of God to this needy part of his own heritage. To His name be all the praise. LOUISVILLE, KY., Nov. 20th, 1868. RECEIPTS FOR DOMESTIC MISSIONS IN NOVEMBER, 1868.
