The Stated and Permanent Clerks, to whom was referred by the last Assembly, the overture from West Hanover Presbytery, respecting the sta- tistical tables, reported as follows, viz. That they are unable to devise any plan which in theory can be better than that we have in our ecclesiastical organization. If church Sessions and Presbyteries will perform their duties in the matter, our statistics will be accu- rate and complete; if they will not, this desirable object cannot be attained by any method the committee can suggest. The committee, however, think it would be useful, should the Assembly direct the Stated Clerks of Presby- teries, where churches omit to report the number of their communicants at any time, to insert in the Presbyterial statistics, the number in the last reports of such churches. The report was adopted. The Moderator announced the following committee on Overture No. 7, the erection of a church in the city of Washington, viz. Drs. Snodgrass and Swift, and Messrs. Pryor, J. N.

The Report of the Treasurer of the Trustees, showing the amount of receipts and expenditures for the year ending iMay 1st 1847. An account of the stocks, &;c. owned by the Assembly, with a bal- ance sheet from the ledger of the Treasurer; also a paper showing the sev- eral items which make the balance of cash on hand. Upon these documents the committee respectfully report that the Treasurer's account has been regu- larly audited. The whole amount received by the Treasurer from May 1st 1846 to May 1st 1847, was $10,380.80; making, together with §3,867.49, the balance on hand at the time of the last report, the sum of $14,248.29. The expenditures during the year have amounted to $13,113.58, leaving a balance in the hands of the Treasurer at the close of the fiscal year, of ^1134.71. The Treasurer's books are neatly, and so far as we can judge, correctly kept ; his report above referred to is herewith returned and marked (A). The paper marked (B) is a tabular statement of the investments made by the Trustees, the par value of the several stocks, the last year's estimate of the value of each investment, and their respective value on the 1st of May inst. The estimated value of the amount invested in stocks, as reported to the General Assembly of last year, was $79,032.88. The estimated value of these stocks at this time is $79,887.08, showing an improvement during the year of $354.20. The several amounts of money otherwise invested upon accustomed securities are all productive of regular income, with the exception of $5000, upon the bond of Josiah Hall, which amount is in pro- cess of collection by due course of law. The income of the General As- sembly from its several investments has improved during the last year; the amount of increase is $1422.11. The paper marked (C) is a balance sheet from the ledger of the Treasu- rer ; the paper marked (D) shows the several items making the cash balance in his hands; and the paper marked (E) is a report of income during the last year as derived from the several investments. We would recommend that the aforesaid papers, marked A, B, C, D, and E, be printed in the Ap- pendix to the Minutes. Your committee is not sufficiently conversant with the state of the stock- market to make any suggestions to the General Assembly in regard to a change in any of its investments. All of which is respectfully submitted." The report of the Trustees of the Western Theological Seminary was read, and referred to a committee consisting of Drs. Swift, Paxton, and Campbell.

The report of the Judicial committee in this case, in regard to the order to be observed, is as follows, viz. " 1. The complaint against the Synod of North Carolina. 2. The minutes of the Synod of North Carolina. 3. The complaint against the Presbytery of Fayetteville. 4. Extracts from the minutes of the Presbytery of Fayette- ville. The committee recommend that if the General Assembly shall de- cide to take up the complaint, they should observe the constitutional rules laid down for conducting a regular appeal from a decision of an inferior court." The reading of the papers was at this point arrested by the following reso- lution, viz. Whereas the General Assembly of 1845 remitted the question of the re- storation of Mr. McQueen to the privileges and responsibilities of church fellowship and the gospel ministry, to the discretion of the Fayetteville Pres- bytery, therefore Resolved, That the complaint of the Rev. Colin Mclver against the decision of said Presbytery and the Synod of North Carolina for so doing, does not lie, and is accordingly dismissed. A. D. 1847.] GENERAL ASSEMBLY. 395 After some debate, this resolution was laid on the table for the present, with si view of hearing the complaint. The complaint was accordingly read, and the hour of adjournment having arrived, the Assembly adjourned till to-morrow morning. Concluded with prayer. WEDNESDAY Morning, May 26. The Assembly met, and was opened with prayer. The minutes were read and approved. The Committee on Elections reported as an additional commissioner, Samuel M. Hammill, Ruling Elder, from the Presbytery of New Brunswick, who took his seat accordingly. The Committee on Leave of Absence reported that they had granted leave to Messrs. Cambern and Boggs. The Judicial Committee reported as in order, case No. 4, and their report was adopted, and is as follows, viz. " The Judicial Committee report, that they have received and examined a complaint of the Rev. James Smylie, from a decision of the Presbytery of Louisiana in the case of the Rev. Dr. Scott, which has been brought in a regular manner up to this General Assembly. The complaint was first presenied to the Synod of Mississippi, who recom- mended the complainant, if he could not conscientiously withdraw the com- plaint, to carry it up to the General Assembly. Mr. Smylie, feeling it to be his duty to prosecute his complaint, has brought it up to this supreme judica- ture of our Church. There are three ways in which this complaint might be disposed of. 1. The Assembly might take it up, wade through the testimony, receive the new testimony, that, it is understood, the complainant wishes to offer, to decide the case. But against this course, besides other difficulties, it may be mentioned as a very serious one, that the bare reading of the records of the Presbytery would consume four or five days. 2. Another mode might be adopted, by referring the case for reconsidera- tion to the Presbytery of Louisiana, who might be directed to take any new testimony that should be properly offered. 3. Or the General Assembly might remand the case to the Synod of Mis- sissippi, to hear the complaint, and dispose of it in a regular and constitutional manner. This, it is deemed, would be the wisest course. But, were either of these modes adopted, it would require a great con- sumption of time, and subject the judicature that might adjudicate on the case to great inconvenience, and no inconsiderable expense; and instead of re- sulting in practical good, might produce great excitement and consequences injurious to the peace and edification of an important section of our Church. The testimony is so voluminous, that to form a correct judgment on it, would require a retentive memory, patient attention, diligent comparison of its seve- ral parts, as well as a discriminating mind. It is to be regretted that the Presbytery sanctioned by their authority the publication of the speeches on both sides of the question. The committee after carefully deliberating on the subject were unanimously of the opinion, that if the case could be disposed of, consistently with the rights of Mr. Smylie, without remanding it to either of the inferior courts, and with- out the Assembly's adjudicating on it, all the ends of justice would be gained and the peace of the Church would be promoted. They therefore invited Mr. 40* 366 MINUTES OF THE ' [A. D. 1847. Smylie to a friendly interview, in which they expressed their opinion, and he stated his views. He did not concur with the committee in regard to the probable consequences of the case being remanded to the Synod or the Pres- bytery; and stated that in prosecuting his complaint he was influenced by no personal feelings against Dr. Scott, but by a desire that truth might be sus- tained, justice done to all concerned, and the constitution of our Church up- held ; but if the committee would, wiihout his concurrence, assume the re- sponsibility of recommending to the General Assembly to terminate the case without any further trial, and the Assembly should determine to adopt this as the wisest way of terminating it, he would submit, and feel that he had dis- charged a duty, which, while it was troublesome and painful, had put him to no inconsiderable expense. It is due to the Rev. Mr. Smylie to say, that the committee believe, that in prosecuting his complaint, he has been prompted by a sense of duty and a regard to the constitution of our Church, and governed by what he deemed its purity and best interests required. The committee recommend to the Assembly, the adoption of the following resolution. Resolved, That in view of the representation of the case given in the above statement by the Judicial Commitiee, of the voluminous nature of the testi- mony, and of the difficulties attending the case, and believing that the interests of the Church will be best promoted by adopting the course recommended by the committee, and being willing to assume the responsibility of acting ac- cordingly, this General Assembly do hereby terminate this unhappy case ■without any farther judicial trial." The Committee on the Records of the Synod of Northern Indiana made a report, which was received and put on the docket. The Committee on the Records of the Synod of Buffalo reported that said records had not been put in their hands, and were discharged. The Committee on the Report of the Board of Foreign Missions made a report, which was received and put on the docket. On motion, the orders of the day were suspended, in order to take up the report of the Committee on Foreign Correspondence.

On motion, the answer prepared by the committee was adopted as the an- swer of this Assembly, and ordered to be transmitted accordingly. The Letter of the General Assembly of the Free Church of Scotland was next read, together with the answer. On motion, the answer prepared by the committee was amended by in- serting the words "on our part," after the word "communications;" and the whole paper was then adopted as the answer of this Assembly, and ordered to be transmitted accordingly. The order of the day, for ten o'clock this morning, viz. the Report of the Board of Education, was, on motion, made the order of the day for Friday morning at 10 o'clock.

That the report be approved, and published under the direction of the Board. Also that the Board furnish the Stated Clerk of the Assembly with an abstract to be published in the Appendix to the Minutes. 2. That the increase, during the past year, in the amount of pecuniary contributions, in the number of Missionaries commissioned, and in the good results of their labour in various respects, has been such as the Assembly may well recognize with gratitude, and receive as an encouragement to the renewed and more vigorous prosecution of the interests of this important cause. 3. That in the judgment of this Assembly, the enterprise of Domestic Missions has never stood sufficiently high in the estimation and affection of the American churches. In its relations to the wide extent of our territory, the rapid increase of our population, the efforts that are made to scatter the seeds of error in our new settlements, and the influence which our country is to exert upon the character and destiny of the world, it is the great enter- prise which should enlist the sympathies and the active co-operation of the patriot, the philanthropist, and the Christian. 4. That this Assembly reiterates the testimonies of former Assemblies to the vast importance of this object; and calls upon the Synods and Presbyte- ries to take such measures as may seem to them best calculated to secure the largest possible contributions to the funds of the Board which has this interest in charge. 5. That in view of the increasing importance and magnitude of this branch- of our benevolent operations, a sermon be delivered on this subject at some convenient time during the sessions of each Assembly, 6. That the Assembly have heard with pleasure of what has been done by this Board in its capacity as a church extension committee; and express the hope that the funds placed at their disposal for this object, during the coming year, will be greatly increased in amount.

D. 1847. " This Seminary was founded twenty years ago by the General Assembly, and its present location established by that body after much and protracted deliberation. Founded on the same plan with its elder and more honoured institution at Princeton, it continues to this day the only other general Theo- logical Seminary deriving its existence directly from the Assembly, and being entirely under its jurisdiction. Those who have from time to time been called by the General Assembly to act as its Directors, the guardians of its inte- rests, and the conservators of its funds, the pecuniary means of its subsist- ence and usefulness, have in these twenty years constantly entertained the hope that it would be so cherished by the General Assembly, that its paternal solicitude for its welfare would result eventually in the adoption of effective measures to ensure the substantial benefits of its fostering care. They have supposed that the time would come when, amidst its protracted and anxious deliberations in respect to its other Institutions and Boards, and amidst its broad and noble plans for doing good, it would not content itself with a mere passing notice of this ; for the most part making its supervision of this object of its creation, and its connexion with it rather a" calamity and an impedi- ment than a blessing. Your committee are, however, sorry to be obliged to say that this reasonable hope has been almost entirely deferred, and of the many thousands of dollars which its wants have demanded and secured to it, almost all have been collected within what was originally the Synod of Pitts- burgh and some few adjacent Presbyteries. The Assembly itself has made no call upon the Church at large, to aid in its endowment and support, nor upon the Presbyteries to adopt systematic measures to ensure coulributions to its funds. The consequences have been such as might be anticipated, where so great a burden is laid upon a mere fraction of the Church. Anxiety and embarrassment, and often great discouragement have oppressed the minds of its Directors ; and their present dilKculties are not small. Your committee think that now, when the endowment of the Theological Seminary at Princeton is understood to be completed, or nearly so, the Assem- bly should direct its thoughts, its prayers, and its energies to the redemption of the pledge which was thus early given, and has been so long delayed, and take measures forthwith to fulfil for it the provision which has been made for Princeton, that when this is done, our Church may be ready, if need be, to go forward and endow far in the West or Southwest, a third Seminary sustain- ing to the Assembly the same relation. In doing this, however, your com- mittee would not desire that the Assembly should in any wise interfere with the interests or plans of any other Theological Seminaries of our Church not under its care, or divert any funds which the Presbyteries and churches concerned may have a preference in bestowing upon them; but they think that in perfect harmony with this provision, important aid may now be ob- tained to complete an endowment which has been zealously undertaken by the Presbyteries in its more immediate vicinity. Your committee would therefore recommend the adoption of the following resolutions, viz. 1. Resolved, That the Report of the Board of Directors be approved, and the same be printed in the Appendix to the Minutes. 2. Resolved, That the Board of Directors be directed to appoint one or more Agents to act under the authority of the General Assembly, in soliciting aid in the Church, for the purpose of completing the endowment of the Pro- fessorships in the said Seminary ; and that it be recommended to the Presby- teries to take such measures as they may deem expedient, to facilitate the object contemplated in this resolution." ^ On motion, the report was accepted, and the resolutions adopted. On motion, Resolved, That a committee be appointed on the ways and A.

The Report of the Committee on the Report of the Board of Foreign Mis- sions, was taken up, and adopted, and is as follows, viz. '* The committee to whom was referred the Report of the Board of Foreign Missions, beg leave to submit the following resolutions, viz. 1. Resohtd, That the Report of the Board of Foreign Missions be approved, and referred to the Executive Committee for publication, and distribution among the churches. 2. Resolved, That the General Assembly have abundant ground of encou- ragement, and devout thanksgiving to the Great Head of the Church, in the evidence of success which has attended the operations of the Board during the last ecclesiastical year. 3. Resolved, That as God in his providence is opening many and effectual doors, and spreading out before our Board of Foreign Missions many interest- ing and extensive tields, and inviting them to enter and take possession, it is the imperative duty of the Church, with combined and more vigorous efforts, to prosecute the work in which we have embarked. 4. Resolved, That, as there are adequate pecuniary resources in the churches under the care of this General Assembly, if called forth to meet all the engagements of the Board, it be recommended to them to extend the sphere of their operations as far as practicable in strengthening existing sta- tions and in establishing new ones. 5. Resolved, That whilst it is our duty to labour and pray with increased energy and zeal for the conversion of the heathen, the Assembly recognizes her obligations to increase her efforts in behalf of papal Europe as well as the seed of Abraham, remembering that all the ' kingdoms of this world are to become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ.' 6. Resolved, That, whilst the Assembly learn with pleasure that there has been a considerable increase in the amount of contributions of the churches to the Board the last year, it is with painful regret, that they learn that a large proportion of our churches have contributed nothing to this important object; and that some of our churches, instead of sustaining their own Board, direct their contributions through other and foreign channels. 7. Resolved, That all the churches under the care of this General Assem- bly, are expected, as a matter of duty and consistency, to contribute, sys- tematically, and annually, to the fund of this Board. 8. Resolved, That it be recommended to the Board to adopt measures to secure the object referred to in the preceding resolution, by a wise system of agency, or otherwise, and that it be earnestly recommended to the Presbyte- ries efficiently to co-operate in this matter, 9. Resolved, That, recognizing our dependence upon the blessing of God, and the agency of the Holy Spirit, for the success of this great enterprise for the conversion of the world, it be earnestly recommended to all the churches under our care to cultivate the spirit of prayer, and more earnestly and unitrdly to seek the divine blessing upon the efforts of this Board, as well as of similar institutions, especially in the monthly concert." On motion, the unfinished business was resumed, viz. the complaint against the Synod of North Carolina, and the Presbytery of Fayetteville, pending discussion on which the Assembly adjourned. Concluded with prayer. 392 MINUTES OF THE [A. D. 1847. FRIDAY Morning, May 28. The Assembly met, and was opened with prayer. The minutes were read and approved. The Committee on Leave of Absence reported that they had granted leave to Messrs. Buyer, Lee, Eilenberger, and Ross, The Moderator announced the following persons as the Committee on the Commissioners' Fund, viz. Messrs. F. N. Ewing, Burghardt, and John M. Johnston. The committee appointed to examine the Report of the Board of Publication, presented a report, which was placed on the docket. Upon their motion, the election of members lo fill vacancies in the Board was made the order of the day for to-morrow morning, at half-past nine o'clock; and nominations were made accordingly. The Committee on Demission of the Pastoral Office, to whom the subject had been recommitted with instructions, reported, and their report was re- ceived, and placed on the docket. The order of the day was taken up, and the Assembly entered on an elec- tion of Directors of Princeton Seminary. Messrs. Colt and Simril were ap- pointed to collect and count the ballots. The Committee on the Memorials of the Synods of Pittsburgh, Wheeling, Virginia, upon Christian Union, reported, and their report was adopted, and is as follows ; viz. "The Committee to whom were referred the Memorials of the Synods of Pittsburgh, Wheeling, and Virginia, respecting Christian union and inter- course, have considered the subject, and submit the following report: " It is well known that the manifestation of unity among evangelical Chris- tians, occupies a distinguished place in the public mind at the present time. "TVor can it be alleged that it deserves not the consideration which it has re- ceived. The convention held last year in London has greatly increased the atten- tion given to this subject among Protestants ; and it is hoped the results of that meeting may be extensively and permanently beneficial. If real Chris- tians, who hold fast the form of sound words, and feel the purifying and ele- vating power of truth, shall perceive more clearly iheir substantial agreement, love one another more fervently, and co-operate in the work of faith and labour of love more extensively and zealously, the advantage to the common cause of Christianity will be real and great. We would by no means call in question the organization or operation of that branch of the Christian alliance which has been constituted in our coun- try; but would rather bid those brethren God-speed in their legitimate efforts, and pray that the blessing of the God of peace may abide with them always. Still it may be inquired whether some plan of intercourse and combined effort may not be adopted, which may specifically include those denomina- tions who hold the same faith, and the same ecclesiastical form of government and discipline, substantially and truly, which we hold, that may greatly con- tribute to more intimate and complete unity in sentiment, affection, and prac- tice. If this can be accomplished in a considerable degree, in a way which will be safe, and will not interfere at all with denominational peculiarities and interests, it will be much gain to the cause of truth and charity. And thus, not only entire apostasy from true Christianity in its various forms, but errors of dangerous tendency may be more effectually resisted, and the sys- tem of salvation by free and sovereign grace may be more favourably exhibi- ted before the Christian public. It is to be particularly observed, however, that such a plan should bear no A. D. 1847.] GENERAL ASSEMBLY. 393 relation whatever to the amalgamation of those denominations who may be willing to enter into such an arrangement. This must be left to each in its own ecclesiastical capacity. Only that unity which is consistent with de- nominational distinction should be embraced in the plan. It is therefore rcspccttully recommended that the General Assembly offer for consideration to the supreme judicatories of those denominations in the United States who are of the description above mentioned, the following pro- positions. 1. The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, the Synods of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church, of the Reformed Presbyterian Church, the Associate Presbyterian Church, the Reformed Dutch Protestant Church, and the German Reformed Church, will appoint both ministerial and lay delegates in such numbers as they shall deem proper, to meet in confer- ence, at such time and place as shall be hereafter designated, and consult and decide respecting a suitable plan of intercourse as may be deemed profitable and safe. 2. The results of this conference shall be reported to the several bodies, and shall be regarded as adopted only so far as they shall be approved by each body. 3. This Assembly will appoint a committee who shall have the charge of previous arrangements, so far as we are concerned, and shall be authorized to communicate with the bodies above named, and confer with any committee by them appointed." The order of the day for ten o'clock having arrived, the Report of the Board of Education was taken up, and referred to the following committee, viz. Dr. Chamberlain, Dr. Jones, and T. R. Lee. On motion, the elections to fill vacancies in the Board was made the second order of the day for to-morrow morning at half-past nine o'clock ; and nomi- nations were made accordingly. The Committee on the Commissioners' Fund made a report, which was recommitted, with instructions to ascertain the precise deficit in said fund. The unfinished business was then taken up, viz. the complaint against the Synod of North Carolina, and the Moderator gave the usual charge. Pend- ing the discussion the Assembly adjourned. Concluded with prayer. FRIDAY Afternoon, 4 o'clock. The Assembly met, and was opened with prayer. The minutes were read and approved. A letter was read from the Rev. J. I.

" The Committee consisting of the Treasurer, the Stated Clerk, and the members of the Finance Committee, to whom was referred the condition of the Contingent Fund, beg leave to report, that there is a deficiency in this fund. The amount paid in for this object at the present session, is but §772, which is about 8400 short of the sum that will be necessary. Accompany- ing this report, we submit a statement of the amount of the Contingent Fund for each year from 1841, to the present time. There are a number of Pres- byteries that have sent up no money at all for this fund, and your Committee, in view of the foregoing statements, would offer the following resolution. Resolved, That the General Assembly does hereby enjoin upon the Pres- byteries within its bounds, which have not contributed their proportion to the Contingent Fund, that they do not fail to remit at an early day such amounts as they may have raised, or may be able to collect for that purpose. Also, that in future, at their spring meetings of each year they make regu- lar provision for the Contingent Fund of the ensuing General Assembly, and remit the same to the Treasurer as early as possible during the session. All of which is respectfully submitted. Statement. — In the year 1841, there was collected, $1518 82; 1842, 81567 01; 1843, $1541 31; 1844, 81340 90; 1845, 81395 63; 1846, 81207 63; for 1847, collected to the present time, 8772 00. The drafts on the Contingent Fund for the last year were 81144 03, wiih one claim of 847 50, which is unpaid, making 81191 53."

The Committee on Leave of Absence presented the following report, viz. " The Committee on leave of Absence beg leave to make a special report to the Assembly. They would state that applications for leave of absence are becoming so numerous that the Assembly is in danger of being reduced in a few days more to a very small body. The committee wish to be instructed as to the degree of strictness which they shall observe in refusing leave of absence to members." The report was accepted, and the committee, on motion, were instructed to apply the rule rigidly. A. D. 1847.] GExNERAL ASSEMBLY. 395 The Committee on the Commissioners' Fund presented a report, which being amended, was adopted, nnd is as follows, viz. "The committee to whom was referred the consideration of increasing the Commissioners' Fund, would respectfully report, that whereas there is great inequality in bearing the expenses of delegates in going to and returning from the Assembly, and whereas this burden rests chiefly on those who are the least able to bear it, therefore Resolved, That while the Assembly would not interfere with any arrange- ments that any Presbytery may choose to make to defray the expenses of its own delegates, we would enjoin on the weak Presbyteries to see to it that their churches contribute as largely as possible; and that the more able ones, and especially such as are not very remote from the place where the Assem- bly meets, be required to have collections taken up in their churches for a com- mon commissioners^ fund, to aid the weaker Presbyteries in defraying the expenses of their delegates," Certain resolutions in regard to the present war, and to the establishment of a weekly paper, were read and put on the docket. The orders of the day were then taken up, and the Assembly went into an election of Directors of the Boards of Publication and Education. Messrs, Mitchell and Houston were appointed to collect and count the ballots for the former, and Messrs. Chapman and Walker, for the latter. The Committee on the Annual Report of the Trustees of the Western Theological Seminary submitted the following resolutions, which were adopt- ed, viz. Resolved,!. That the said report be approved and printed in the Appendix to the Minutes of the Assembly. Resolved, 2. That the charter or Act of Incorporation granted by the Legislature of the state of Pennsylvania, and accepted by the General As- sembly at its sessions in Cincinnati in 1845, be printed in the Minutes in con- nexion with this report. Resolved, 3. That the change in the Board of Trustees recommended in the said report be adopted; and that the persons therein mentioned be ap- pointed Trustees in the room of those whose term of service is thus closed. On motion. Resolved, That a committee of five be appointed by the Mode- rator to nominate the persons contemplated in the resolutions on Christian Union. Drs. Hoge, Janeway, Snodgrass, and Gray, and Mr. J. N. Dickson, were appointed that committee. The unfinished business was resumed, and it was on motion, Resolved, That the question on the dismissal of the case be taken not later than 12 o'clock to-day. The hour of 12 having arrived, the question was accordingly taken, and the following was the decision of the Assembly in the case, viz. Whereas the Rev. Archibald McQueen prosecuted a complaint before the Assembly of 1845, against the Presbytery of Fayetteville, for refusing to re- store him to the exercise of the gospel ministry; and did at the same time memorialize that Assembly to decree his restoration ; and whereas that As- sembly did take up and judicially entertain the said complaint, and pro- nounced judgment in the case by authorizing and recommending the Presby- tery to restore the said Archibald McQueen to the gospel ministry, provided that in the judgment of the Presbytery it was wise so to do; and whereas the Presbytery in the exercise of the discretion thus confided to them, did re- store Mr, McQueen ; therefore. Resolved, That the complaint of the Rev. Colin Mclver and others against the Synod of North Carolina, for having sustained the action of the Presby- tery of Fayetteville in restoring the said Archibald McQueen, in accordance 396 MINUTES OF THE [A. D. 1847. with the judicial decision of the Assembly of 1845, cannot be entertained by this house, and is hereby dismissed. In making this disposition of the above mentioned complaint, this General Assembly wishes it to be distinctly understood that they do not mean either to retract or modify any judgment hitherto expressed by any Assembly re- specting the offence for which Mr. McQueen was suspended from the exercise of the gospel ministry. They simply declare that his case cannot be regu- larly brought before them by this complaint. The yeas and nays were called for on this resolution, and are as follows, viz.

Resolved, That this General Assembly, in virtue of authority vested in it by the Form of Government, ch. 12, sect. 5, does hereby solemnly reprove, warn, and bear testimony against those Presbyteries and Church-sessions under the care of this Assembly, which tolerate within their bounds the practice of im- morality in allowing the formation of the marriage relation on the part of ministers and church members contrary to the Word of God and the Confes- sion of Faith, ch. 24, sect. 4, and for neglecting and failing to enforce the discipline of the Church in such cases. The Committee to whom was referred the Report of the Board of Educa- tion reported, recommending the following resolutions, which were adopted, viz. 1. Resolved, That this Assembly reiteraie their conviction of the impor- tance of ministerial education, in its relations to all the enterprises of the Church, and to the conversion of the world. A.

Resolved, That this Assembly solemnly recognize the sovereign grace of God, in calling the sons of the Church into the ministry; and also ac- knowledge the obligations of his Church to use all scriptural and proper means to increase the number of candidates, especially by prayer to the Lord of the harvest, ministerial instruction, parental consecration, Christian educa- tion, and pecuniary assistance to those who may need it. 3. Resolved, That it be specially recommended to our ministers and churches not only to pray for an increase of labourers, but also to remember in their prayers, the youth of the Church who have already commenced their preparatory studies, and who are naturally exposed to many temptations, which the Spirit of God can alone enable them to resist. 4. Resolved, That the Presbyteries be enjoined to use unceasing vigilance in the examination of candidates, and to retain a strict pastoral supervision over them throughout their entire preparatory course; and that the Board of Education be enjoined to continue the plan of personal visitation and corres- pondence, and to use their best endeavours to promote a high standard of ministerial qualification. 5. Resolved, That the Board of Education exercise the same pastoral care over the candidates for the ministry who are sustained by the permanent funds of the General Assembly, as over those who are sustained by the an- nual collections of the churches. 6. Resolved, That the Annual Report be committed to the Board for pub- lication. The Committee on Demission presented a report which was, after some debate, again re-committed. The Rev. Sayrs Gazlay gave notice of his desire to enter his dissent from the vote to lay on the table the resolution warning the Presbyteries on the subject of unlawful marriages; and also of his intention to enter, on behalf of himself and olhers, a protest against the decision to dismiss judicial case No. 1.

The Committee on the Records of the Synod of North Carolina reported, recommending their approval ; and their report was adopted. The Report of the Committee on the Records of the Synod of Northern Indiana, was taken up, recommending approval, with the lollowing excep- tions, viz. 1. On page 27, where a record is made of the opening sermon of Synod, it does not appear that the moderator of the previous year who pre- pared the sermon, was present to preach it, nor does it appear whether he was present or absent during the entire meeting. 2. On page 32, where Synod take exception to the Records of the Presbytery of Michigan as defec- tive. Synod did not require that Presbytery to review and correct said re- cords. 3. On page 54, the Synod censure the Presbytery of Michigan for retaining the name of Mr. Nicoll on the roll after suspending him from the gospel ministry. Your Committee are of the opinion that the name of a sus- pended minister should be retained on the roll of Presbytery till they proceed to the higher censure, though he be deprived of the exercise of his ministe- rial functions. The report was adopted. The Committee on Demission of the Pastoral Office, presented a report, which was adopted, and is as follows, viz. " The Committee to which was referred the matter concerning the demis- sion of the pastoral office, respectlully report for the consideration of the Assembly the following statement and resolution, viz. 1. With all the care which the Presbyteries can exercise in the examination of candidates, and with all the inquiry which candidates may sincerely make after the path of duty, it has happened and will again occur that men may mistake their call- ing, and be introduced to the office of the ministry without those qualifica- tions which will enable them with profit to the Church and comfort to them- selves to continue to exercise its functions. 2. It is a fact that many persons do practically demit the exercise of the office, engaging entirely in secular pursuits, and yet, 3. Their names remain upon our rolls, they are accounted as ministers, and arc counted in estimating the ratio of representation of the Presbyteries to which they belong, thus giving to some Presbyteries a prepon- derance in the General Assembly to which they are not justly entitled A. D. 1847.] GENERAL ASSEMBLY. 399 under the fair operation of our system. There is no reason for deposing or suspending them, they have no authority to demit the exercise of their office, nor have Presbyteries a rijiht to permit such demission ; and these worthy brethren arc constrained to live on with vows resting upon them which they have ncitlier the ability nor opportunity to perform. Therefore, Resolved, That it be referred to the Presbyteries whether the following sections shall be added to the 15th chapter of our Form of Government, viz. XVI. The office of a minister of the Gospel is perpetual and cannot be laid aside at pleasure. No person can be divested of it but by deposition. Yet from various causes a minister may become incapable of performing the duties of the office; or he may, though chargeable with neither heresy nor immorality, become unacceptable in his official character. In such cases he may cease to be an acting minister. XVII. Whenever a minister from any cause, not inferring heresy or crime, shall be incapable of serving the Church to edification, the Presbytery shall take order on the subject, and state the fact, together with the reasons of it, on their records. And when any person has thus ceased to be an acting minister, he shall not be a member of any Presbytery or Synod, but shall be subject to discipline as other ministers. Provided always, that nothing of this kind shall be done without the consent of the individual in question, ex- cept by advice of the Synod." The order of the day was then taken up, viz. the report of the committee to whom was referred the Report of the Board of Education on Parochial Schools. The resolutions were considered seriatim, amended, and adopted, and are as follows, viz. The Committee to whom was referred the Report of the Board of Educa- tion, beg leave to recommend the adoption of the following resolutions: 1. Resolved, That the report be committed to the Board of Education in order that it may be printed and circulated among the churches. 2. Resolved, That this Assembly do hereby express their firm conviction that the interests of the Church and the glory of our Redeemer, demand that immediate and strenuous exertions should be made, so far as practicable, by every congregation to establish within its bounds one or more Primary Schools, under the care of the session of the church, in which together with the usual branches of secular learning, the truths and duties of our holy reli- gion shall be assiduously inculcated. 3. Resolved, That this Assembly do hereby earnestly call upon all the Synods and Presbyteries under their care, to take the subject of Christian education under consideration, and to devise and execute whatever measures they may deem most appropriate for securing the establishment of Parochial and Presbyterial Schools in our bounds. 4. Resolved, That a committee consisting of one minister and one ruling elder be appointed by each Presbytery to collect information as to the number and condition of schools within the bounds of the Presbytery, the number of children under fifteen years of age belonging to their congregations; the state of public opinion in respect to education; the ability of the churches to sustain teachers and build school houses ; and whatever other statistical in- formation relating to education they may deem important ; and that these committees forward their reports to the Board of Education on or before the 1st of January, 1848. 5. Resolved, That this whole subject be referred to the Board of Educa- tion, and that the Board is hereby authorized to expend whatever moneys are committed to them for that purpose in aid of the establishment of Parochial and Presbyterial Schools. 400 MINUTES OF THE [A.

Resolved, That it be recommended to the Board of Publication to make inquiries on the subject of elementary school books, with a view of adapting them, as far as practicable, to a system of religious instruction; and that the Board report on this subject to the next General Assembly. The Committee on the Memorial from the Presbytery of Baltimore, in rela- tion to the erection of a church in Washington City, reported, and their re- port was adopted, and is as follows, viz. "That, in their judgment, the object contemplated in said memorial is an important one, and justly claims, upon its merits, the charitable consideration of the friends of our Church in all parts of the country. They are of opinion, however, that it would be highly inexpedient and of dangerous precedent for the Assembly to engage, as such, in an enterprise of this description. They therefore recommend that the memorial, with the accompanying- papers be respectfully referred back to the Presbytery of Baltimore, within the bounds of which the City of Washington lies; in the hope that, if they shall judge it expedient to take any further steps in the matter, the effort may be sustained by the liberality of the churches." A report was read from the Rev. Benjamin H. Rice, D. D., delegate to the General Association of Massachusetts. A communication was read from the complainants in judicial case, No. 1, acquainting the Assembly with their submission to the late decision in said case, and at the same time, inasmuch as the Synodical and Presbyterial acts, against which they had complained, had neither been reversed nor sustained by any General Assembly, with their intention to renew the coinplaint, should they see fit, to the next General Assembly, for final adjudication. On motion, leave was granted said complainants to withdraw their papers. The Assembly then went into an election of a preacher of the annual ser- mon on Popery; when the Rev. Alexander T. McGill, D.D., was chosen principal, and the Rev. Wm. S. Plumer, D. D., alternate. On motion, the Clerks were appointed a special committee to recommend to the Assembly the papers suitable to be printed in the Appendix. Judicial case No. 2, being an appeal of John Cathey from a decision of the session of Paw Creek Church, suspending him from sealing ordinances for marrying his deceased wife's sister, was dismissed, as not having come up through the inferior judicatories, and the case remitted to the Presbytery of Concord for adjudication. The report of the committee to whom was referred the Report of the Board of Publication was taken up, recommending the following resolutions, which were adopted, viz. 1. Resolved, That the Report be approved, and published under the direction of the officers of the Board. 2. Resolved, That in the opinion of the Assembly the affairs of this Board have been conducted with judgment, energy, and success, calling for the con- tinued and increased confidence of the churches in its operations, as a means of usefulness. 3. Resolved, That the Assembly cordially approves the plan proposed by the Board for circulating its books, and earnestly recommmends it to the immediate attention of the churches. 4. Resolved, That the Assembly is highly gratified that the Board has en- tered upon a system of colportage, as an agency for the circulation of its books; and while repeating the recommendation of former Assemblies that funds be raised by Synods and Presbyteries for the establishment of deposi- tories, owned and managed by themselves, the Assembly would further re- A. D. 1847.] GENERAL ASSEMBLY. 401 commend that they employ in connexion with these deposilorics the colpor- teurs appointed by the Board. •5. Resolved, That the Assembly approves of the charter obtained by the Board, and orders that, in accordance with the terms of the charter, it shall hereafter be known by the name of " The Presbyterian Board of Publica- tion." 6. Resolved, That the Assembly also provides, in accordance with the requirements of the aforesaid charter, that at the annual meetinir of the Board of Publication in the year 1848, on the day when the Board meets to re- organize and elect its officers, it shall proceed to elect, by ballot, three per- sons in the room of the three first named of the Trustees of the Presbyterian Board of Publication, incorporated by the aforesaid charier; on the day of the annual meeting in 1849, it shall proceed in like manner to elect three persons in the room of the second three trustees named in the charier afore- said; and on the day of the annual meeting of the Board of Publication in 1850 it shall elect in the same manner three persons in the room of the three remaining trustees of the aforesaid Board; and thenceforward annually elect- ing three persons in the room of that class which has served three years; provided always that the same persons shall be re-eligible. 7. Resolved, That the Presbyterian Board of Publication may also, at any of its regular meetings, elect persons to fill vacancies occurring by death, re- signation, or otherwise. Overtures Nos. 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15, were taken up, and disposed of as follows, viz. Overture No, 10. An overture from the Presbytery of Palmyra proposing that the Assembly should establish immediately a literary institution of high order in Oregon. The recommendation of the committee was adopted, viz. Resolved, That it is not expedient for this General Assembly to grant the request. Overture No. 11. An overture from Thomas R. Lee, a member of this house, proposing certain specific alterations in the Book of Discipline, was referred to a special committee to report to the next Assembly, viz. Rev. Mr. Cunningham, Dr. Hoge, Dr. Howe, Hon. E. A. Nisbit, and Hon. Job John- ston. Overture No. 12. An overture from the Presbytery of Mississippi, re- questing the General Assembly to recommend to the Board of Publication to issue suitable books of sermons and helps for devotion, to be used by vacant congregations; and to inquire whether ruling elders representing such con- gregations should be interrogated concerning the observance of the recom- mendations contained in chap. xxi. of the Form of Government. The recom- mendation of the committee was adopted, viz. Resolved, That the former part of this overturf relating to the publication of books be referred to the Board of Publication ; and that the latter part be answered in the affirmative. Overture No. 13. An overture from the Synods of Philadelphia and New Jersey, the one requesting, and the other objecting to a proposed alteration of their boundary line. The recommendation of the committee was adopted, viz. Resolved, That as the two Synods interested in the question are not agreed in relation to it, it is inexpedient for the Assembly to make the alteration pro- posed by the Synod of Philadelphia. Overture No. 14. An overture from the Presbytery of Oxford, in refer- ence to an alleged inaccuracy in the printed Minutes of the General Assem- bly of 1844. The recommendation of the committee was adopted, viz. Resolved, That this overture be referred to the Stated Clerk of the Assem- 402 MINUTES OF THE [A. D. 1847. bly with the request that he would report to this house the facts in reference to the case referred to. Overture No. 15. An overture from the Presbytery of Louisiana, pre- spnting several constitutional questions for the decision of the Assenriblv, was referred to the same special committee to whom was referred overture No. 11, to report to the next Assembly. The tellers appointed to collect and count the votes for Directors of the Board of Publication reported the following persons as duly elected, viz. MINISTERS. LAYMEN. A. Alexander, D.I), W.

Miller. On motion, Resolved, 1. That the thanks of this General Assembly be respectfully tendered to the citizens of Richmond and its vicinity, for their polite and hos- pitable attentions during the sittings of the Assembly ; and also to the direc- tors of the steamboat and railroad companies for the generous facilities granted the members in going to and from the city of Richmond. Resolved, 2. That the thanks of the Assembly be returned to the session A. D. 1847.] GENERAL ASSEMBLY. 403 of the First Presbyterian Church for the use of their house of worship ; and that these resolutions be published in the daily papers of the oily. On motion, Resolved, 1. That this Assembly has heard with satisfaction the sermon preached by the Rev. C. C. Jones, D. D., of Georgia, according to their ap- pointment, on tlie subject of the religious instruction of the coloured popula- tion. Resolved, 2. That the Assembly regard this subject as one of very great interest and importance, and recognize the goodness of God in opening this field to our minisiers and missionaries to so large an extent, and with such cordial approbation from the community. Resolved, 3. Thai the Board of .Missions be directed, if it appears to them advisable, to appoint a secretary or general agent from and for the South and South-west, who shall superintend the collection of funds and the location of missionaries, and attend to the other duties of this department, in co-operation with the Presbyteries and churches in that section of country. The Stated Clerk, to whom was referred the Memorial of the Presbytery of Oxford relating to an inaccuracy in the Minutes of 1844, as to the boundary line between the Synods of Cincinnati and Indiana, made a statement on the subject ; whereupon it was Resolved, That the word " Northern" should be inserted before the word " Indiana," on page 3G9 of the Minutes referred to. It was moved, that in order to meet the wants of the Church, this General Assembly recommend to the Board of Publication to prepare and publish as soon as practicable, a system of doctrinal and scriptural questions adapted to the use of Bible-classes and Sabbath-schools. The resolution was laid on the table. It was moved, 1. That the various Boards of the Church be, and>they here- by are, authorized to establish a paper to be published weekly, in which such communications as said Boards may consider valuable, may be placed before the churches. 2. That it be recommended to the members of the Church to sustain and patronize such paper. 3. That the price of said paper be made as cheap as may be consistent with its healthy existence. The resolutions were laid on the table. On motion. Resolved, That in view of the continuance of the war in which we are en- gaged, and of the great and dreadful evils of war, it be earnestly recommended to all our churches to humble themselves before Almighly God, with confes- sion of their own sins and of the people, and to engage in fervent and con- tinued prayer that as individuals and as a nation we may be forgiven ; that there may be a speedy, righteous, and amicable adjustment of all existing difficulties with other nations; and that we may be permitted to enjoy without interruption the blessings of peace. Resolved, That all pastors, and all others preaching statedly, be requested to bring this subject before the several churches in which they minister, on the second Sabbath of July, or as soon after as it may be convenient, and to urge upon our people, the duty pointed out in the foregoing resolution. The Rev. Mr. Berry offered a protest on behalf of himself and others, against the decision of the Assembly in judicial case, No. 1, which was read and admitted to record. On motion, Messrs. Hoge, Hoyt, and Simril were appointed a committee to answer the protest. The Committee on Leave of Absence reported that they had granted leave to Messrs. Hume and Jackson. The Committee on the Narrative of the State of Religion presented a re- 404 MINUTES OF THE [A. D. 1847. port, which was read, adopted, and ordered to be printed in the Appendix to the Minutes. On motion, Resolved, That the Trustees of the General Assembly be directed to pay to the Stated Clerk, the bills for the incidental expenses. The Committee appointed to answer the Protest of W. T. Berry aiid others, presented a report, which was read and adopted, and, together with the protest, ordered to be entered on the Minutes, as follows, viz. PROTEST. The undersigned protest against the decision of this Assembly on dismis- sing the complaint of Colin Mclver and others against the Synod of Norih Carolina for the following reasons. 1. The action of the Assembly of 1845 on the ground of which the complaint is dismissed by this Assembly, was not a judicial determination of the case. 2. If it had been a judicial determina- tion of the case, it was unconstitutional, and therefore void, because (1.) it thereby restored to the ministry and the privileges of the Church, one who had been convicted of an act which the Confession of Faith, chap. 24, sect. 4, declares, " that no law of man or consent of parties can ever make valid." (2.) It was not competent for the Assembly of 1845 to give the advice and recommendation which they did in this case. (3.) Accoi-ding to the recom- mendation of the Assembly itself, the action of the Presbytery was discretion- ary, and they were responsible for the exercise of that discretion to the higher courts. R. T. Berry, James Kerr, W. H. Mitchell, A. O. Patterson, G. T. Snow- den, A. G. Mcllwaine, W. W. White, Loyal Young, P. J, Sparrow, W. T. Adams, J. L, Belville, Sayrs Gazlay, Wm. Cooper, John P. Kerr, Edward W. Wright, James Johnston. ANSWER. The Protestants have respectfully and honestly stated their views; but, we apprehend, have mistaken the true nature of the case; for, 1. The Assembly of 1845 declare in their records that they did act Judicially on the complaint and memorial of Rev. A. McQueen; and did decide that the ends of discipline were answered in his case; and it is not competent for the Protestants or for this Assembly to declare the contrary. 2. As this case was before them in a regular manner, it is, therefore, not correct to affirm that their act was unconstitutional in this respect; or on ac- count of the nature of their decision. 3. The constitution, in the place adduced, is to be interpreted by the Word of God, which, we apprehend, does not sustain the interpretation of the Pro- testants in that sense of it which they make the basis of their protest. Further answer we conceive is made unnecessary by the terms of the re- solution adopted. The Clerks made a report upon the papers suitable to be published in the Appendix; whereupon the Stated Clerk was instructed to publish in the Ap- pendix as follows, viz. Reports of Delegates to Corresponding Bodies ; Re- ports of Trustees and Directors of the ditferent Theological Seminaries; Re- port and accompanying documents of the Treasurer of Trustees of General Assembly; Abstracts of Reports of Boards of Domestic and Foreign Mis- sions, Education, and Publication; Narrative of the State of Religion; and Reports of Committees on such subjects of interest and importance as the Assembly directs. On motion. Dr. Snodgrass was added to the Special Committee to whom were referred overtures Nos. 11 and 15. A. D. 1847.] GENERAL ASSEMBLY. 405 Whereas it is of great importance, for many reasons, that all the lenevo- lent operations of the Church should be managed with the most thorough and careful economy that is consistent with the highest degree of success; therefore. Resolved, That the following persons, viz. Dr. Plumer, Mr. Brown, Mr. Hunt, Mr. Russell, and Mr. Walker, be appointed to examine the pecuniary management of the Boards of the General Assembly; that they confer with the Boards respectively, and suggest such improvements as they may be able to devise; and that they report fully to the next General Assembly. The roll was called, and on motion, no record made of absentees. The minutes were read and approved. The Assembly having completed their business, it was Resolved, That this General Assembly be dissolved, and that another General Assembly, chosen in like manner, be required to meet in the First Presbyterian Church in the city of Baltimore, on the third Thursday of May, A. D. 1848, at eleven o'clock, A. M. Accordingly, the Moderator dissolved the Assembly with singing, prayer, and the apostolical benediction. ROBERT DAVIDSON, Permanent Clekk. Richmond, May 21st, 1847. Vol. XI.— 42 ( 406 ) APPENDIX. NARRATIVE OF THE STATE OF RELIGION ADOPTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN THE UNITED STATES, AND ADDRESSED TO THE CHURCHES UNDER THEIR CARE. Christian Brethren — While occupied with matters pertaining to the govern- ment and discipline of the Church in her external and visible relations, we do not forget that her vital interests are those which are internal and spiritual. " As the body without the spirit is dead," so faith and government in the house of God are nothing without the presence and agency of that divine Spirit, who is the sole efficient agent in edifying the body of Christ, as well as in quickening those who are dead in trespasses and sins. The Assembly therefore turn with interest, in the course of their sessions, to the Reports of the Presbyteries on the State of Re- ligion within their respective bounds ; expecting that these communications will reveal the internal condition of the Church in some measure as it is, and serve as a guide to right sentiments and feelings in the review of the past, as well as to proper resolutions and purposes in reference to the future. Narratives have been received during the sessions of this Assembly from eighty- four Presbyteries; and these, when collated and compared, exhibit almost all the varieties of light and shade which a moral picture could be supposed to present. They bring before our minds alternate views of dearth and fruitful showers, of barrenness and of fruitfulness, of lukewarmness and zeal, of decline and improve- ment. And, while this is true of Presbyteries as compared with each other, the remark is often applicable to congregations within the limits of the same Pres- bytery. There is a remarkable agreement among the reports in what they communicate respecting the attendance of our people upon the public worship of God on the Sabbath. Most of the Presbyteries refer to this ; and, with few exceptions, speak of the attendance, not only as equal to what it has been in former years, but as better to a degree which is highly encouraging. As faith cometh by hearing, we cannot but regard this as a token for good. It may be that we are thus furnished with a providential sign that the Lord is preparing his own way, and that the time is near when a rich harvest is to be reaped as the fruit of the seed which is thus extensively sown. We notice also with pleasure, ihat a large number of the Presbyteries refer with evident satisfaction to the peace and harmony which prevail in the churches under their care. For, although the absence of disunion and contention is no certain proof that the cause of truth and piety is advancing upon the surrounding world, it is yet a good and pleasant thing for brethren to dwell together in unity. The Spirit of theXord is the spirit of peace ; and to keep the unity of the spirit in the A. D. 1847.] NARRATIVE OF THE STATE OF RELIGION. 407 bond of peace is one of the great duties devolved upon professing Christians. You will rejoice therefore in the intelligence, that the churches have been so exten- sively preserved during the past year from all occasions of alienation and strife, and have walked together with so much agreement and good-will iu the faith and fellowship of the gospel. We are not aware that any previous Assembly has received intelligence from so many quarters, of etforts made for the liquidation of debts upon houses of wor- ship. The evils resulting from the pressure of pecuniary claims of this descrip- tion are so multiform and serious, that we cannot but rejoice in every successful effort either to remove or lighten the burden which they impose. A new interest has evidently been awakened in many of the churches on this subject. And, in cases not a few, the immediate practical result has been, the payment in full of pecuniary liabilities which had long interfered with their prosperity, and restrained their liberality towards other objects of benevolence. Although the Assembly do not perceive any marked difference between the re- ports of this and several previous years in respect to the religious training of the young, they still regard the subject as too important to be dismissed without no- tice. The children and youth of any one generation are to form the character and give shape to the destinies of the generation which is to follow. And, for this reason, there are no efforts so full of promise to the Church and the world as those which bear upon the education of the rising race in the pure principles of the gospel of Christ. It is with reference to this end that our Sabbath-schools are collected and organized, that our Bible classes are formed, and that measures are taken to instruct the children of our congregations in the catechisms of the Church. These modes of education, although they are not intended, and cannot with safety be allowed, to take the place of parental instruction, are nevertheless to be re- garded as important auxiliaries. And we are enabled to state, that during the past year, the interest of the c'nurches in them has suffered no decline. They have been employed quite as extensively, and in many cases with more vigour and effi- ciency than heretofore. We also notice with pleasure that one of the Presby- teries (West Jersey) remarks, " We are beginning to inquire into the practica- bility of organizing Parochial Schools, in which the children of our churches may receive a Christian education; and it is expected that three or four of these will be opened in the course of the summer ;" and that in the report of another Pres- bytery (Western District) we find it stated: "In tlie first church in Memphis a Parochial School has been established, and other churches have that subject under consideration." These are examples which we trust will be followed by the other Presbyteries in quick and rapid succession. It is high time that all evangelical churches were awake to the importance of securing an education on Christian principles to those who are to occupy the posts of influence when the fathers have fallen asleep. It is our privilege to say, in view of the sources of information which have been opened to us by the Presbyteries, that our congregations have done more than in any former year, to advance the cause of Christ by Iheir pecuniary contributions. To say nothing of the sums which have been expended in erecting new houses of worship, in supplying the famishing of other lands with the means of subsistence, and in sustaining benevolent enterprises which are not immediately under the care of our own church, we find that the Boards of Domestic and Foreign Missions, and the Board of Education, all report an increase in the amount of their funds, and speak of their fields of labour respectively, as becoming wider and more white unto the harvest. We cannot enter into particulars here ; nor is it needful, as the reports of these Boards at length, will be spread before the church for their perusal and consideration. But you will allow us to say, affectionately and earnestly, that we have only begun to do our duty in the great work of raising up a learned, pious, and faithful ministry, and in sending them forth to supply the waste places both at home and abroad. The age and country in which we live, the number and resources of our church, the love of Christ, the wants of the world, and the hope of heaven, call upon us for still greater things in this department than we have yet accomplished. We are notified by the Board of Publication, that, during the past year, they have taken a step in advance of their previous action. They have resolved on availing themselves of the colporteur system in circulating their issues among the 408 NARRATIVE OF THE STATE OF RELIGION. [Appendix. churches, and in destitute neighbourhoods. The value of this agency has been so far exemplified in the experience of other associations, as fully to justify the ex- pectation that if they should be enabled to employ it extensively, the results would be most happy. This however, they cannot do unless funds are placed at their disposal for this purpose. The income from the sale of books would not justify them in going forward to any considerable extent; but, having received generous donations from a few individuals, and trusting that the plan will find increasing favour, they have entered upon the work. A few agents have been appointed, who have already entered upon their respective fields, and their purpose is to in- crease the number as fast as the means which they may receive will warrant. In reviewing the past, we find that notice has been taken by several previous Assemblies of the interest manifested in the religious instruction of the coloured population of our country. The reports received this year, justify the belief that this interest has greatly increased since the meeting of the last Assembly. Almost all the Presbyteries covering the ground where this portion of our population are found in the greatest numbers, refer to the subject, and speak of efforts to supply them with the means of grace, as being decidedly on the advance. The following are specimens of the communications we have received on this subject. The Pres- bytery of South Alabama say : "Perhaps without a solitary exception, our minis- ters are devoting a considerable part of their labours to the benefit of the coloured population. It is a field which we all love to cultivate; and to some, the great Head of the Church is intimating an abundant harvest." " Most of our pastors," say the Presbytery of Charleston, "devote a part of their time to the exclusive service of the blacks, and in some instances with the most pleasing success. A scheme is now in agitation, with the full consent of the Presbytery, for establish- ing an African church in the city of Charleston." The Presbytery of Georgia remark, in relation to one of their number who devotes his whole time to this work: " During the year he has been blessed with a revival in one part of his field of labour. Fourteen professed conversion, and were added to the church. An- other brother, in another part of our bounds, reports the conversion and reception into the church to which he ministers of eiglit coloured persons." And the Presbytery of Hopewell speak]of their churches generally, as cheerfully yielding the half of their pastor's services to this department of labour. They also express the belief that several churches will soon be erected for the exclusive accommodation of the coloured people, and that the field will be occupied as missionary ground by at least one of their number, who is deeply interested in the work. Many other Presbyteries have addressed us in substantially the same language; and we record these facts as going to encourage the hope that a better day is about to dawn upon the interests of this long neglected class of our people. On the subject of Temperance the reports of this year are exceedina'y various, and, on the whole, less encouraging than we were prepared to expect. Seventeen of the Presbyteries speak of the cause either as stationary, or retrograde in some parts of their bounds, while the number is much fewer that represent it as exhibiting tokens of decided advancement. It is true, indeed, as one of the Presbyteries re- marks, that we are to distinguish between the temperance cause and temperance societies. The latter may sometimes suffer a temporary decline in numbers and efficiency, for other reasons than because the great principles of the temperance reformation are losing their hold upon the public mind. And this, we would hope, is in some measure true of the present position of things, in reference to this in- terest. But, however this may be, it is plam enough that intemperance is still a giant evil among the others, which are spreading desolation through the land, and one which, in many places, is increasing instead of declining in strength. Let the members of our churches and congregations be assured of this; but, instead of filling them with alarm or discouragement, let this assurance awaken them to new and more faithful exertions in endeavouring to stem the tide of this evil, and de- liver the nation from its unrelenting and cruel bondage. We learn from the Reports of twenty-one of our Presbyteries, that special awakenings, more or less extensive, have occurred within their bounds during the progress of the year. In some cases, the churches are mentioned by name, while in others, the statements are without reference to particular localities. The Pres- bytery of Charleston speak of their largest church as having received an addition during the year, of one liundred and twenty-two converts, who give good reasons A. D. 1847.] REPOBTS OF DELEGATES. 409 for believing that they have been born again ; and also of the presence of the Spirit as having been felt in other churches. The Presbytery of Hopewell say: "Reviving showers of Divine grace have descended on nine churches." And they refer to Franklin College, at Athens, Georgia, the University at Midway, and two schools under the care of two members of Presbytery, as participating in this spi- ritual bounty. The Presbytery of Flint River report ^dc churches in which the work of God has been attended with much power and grace, and the Presbyteries of Louisville, West Hanover, and Transylvania about an equal number; the latter referring especially to the College at Danville, as having shared in the converting influences of the Spirit. One or more churches have received refreshmg visita- tions within the bounds of the Presbyteries of Tuscaloosa, Columbia, Harmony, East Alabama, Missouri, East Hanover, Iowa, Schuyler, Brazos, Palestine, Miami, Ohio, Raritan, Newton, Elizabethtown, and New York; and, after these, there are several others which speak of an awakened state of feeling among professing Christians, where no considerable accessions have occurred from the world. But while we record these tokens of the Divine presence and favour, with gra- titude to the Head of the Church and as an encouragement to believe that God is still waiting to be gracious, we are compelled in truth and faithfulness to say that a large majority of the Presbyteries speak of the piety of the churches generally as in a low state. They mourn over the lukewarmness of professing Christians, their worldly conformity, their want of interest in meetings for prayer and Chris- tian communion, and the consequent inefficiency of their example and influence for good. There is great reason for humiliation, repentance, and turning to the Lord on this behalf. The Spirit of the Lord is not among us as in former times; and we trust, brethren, that you will be disposed, with us, to cry aloud and spare not, until God shall return and make our Jerusalem a praise in the earth. We are admonished by the reports which we have received of the death of both ministers and elders, that our time for prayer and labour is short, and that whatsoever our hands find to do, it becomes us to do with our might. One Pres- bytery records the death of no less than three of their number, as occurring in the short period of six months ; and this list, if we were in possession of all the facte, might be greatly extended. We, as individuals, are to be followers of them who through faith and patience have inherited the promises in death as well as in life. The Master in whose vineyard we labour, will soon convey to us the message: "Give an account of thy stewardship; thou mayest be no longer steward." Wherefore, beloved brethren, let us arise and work while it is called to-day. Let us forget the things which are behind, and reach forth to those things which are before. Let us be steadfast and unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as we know that our labour is not in vain in the Lord." J. H. Thornwell, Moderator. Richmond, June, 1847. REPORTS OF DELEGATES. REPORT OF THE DELEGATE TO THE GENERAL CONFERENCE OF MAINE. To ttie Moderator of the General Assembly. Rev. and Dear Sir, — The undersigned being commissioned by the last Assem- bly as a delegate to the General Conference of Maine, reports that in accord- ance with that appointment, he attended, in June last, the sessions of said Con- ference in Augusta, the capital of the State, and was received and treated with the kindness due to their character as Christian gentlemen, as well as the con- sideration due to the body by which he was commissioned. Your commissioner was not only gratified, as a man, by the considerations of lespect paid to him personally, but as a minister of the Presbyterian Church, with the evidences of piety, talents, and orthodoxy there exhibited. In all their exer- cises there was a uniform and unfailing character of devotedness to their Master evinced both in their personal intercourse and the high tone of their doctrinal truth. 42* 410 REPORTS OF DELEGATES. [Appendix. Your delegate was permitted to recount what God was doing for and by the venerable body from which he came, and as of old, in Phenice and Samaria, it appeared to cause " great joy unto all the brethren." Your Commissioner would further remark the great pleasure which he enjoyed in the many evidences which appeared to him, on his journey and intercourse with the brethren, of the reflex, if not direct influence in favour of the truth as it is in Christ, which has resulted to our American Zion in all its orthodox branches from the recent struggle and testimony of the Presbyterian Church.

Rev. and Dear Sir, — The undersigned having been appointed by the General Assembly of 1846, a delegate to the General Convention of Vermont, respectfully reports that he attended to the duties of his appointment, and met the Convention in IVIiddlebury, in June last. Your delegate was received with Christian courtesy and kindness, and had his spirits refreshed by the fellowship of those worthy brethren. They evinced much interest in the statements he had the privilege of making concerning the efforts making in the Southern portion of country, to give the gos- pel to the slave by our own and sister churclies — and the wide and increasing field of usefulness opened to the American Church in this interesting department of Christian enterprise. The Convention, in a spirit of reciprocal courtesy, ap- pointed a delegate to represent them in the General Assembly for the present year. All which is respectfully submitted, Robert S. Fin ley. Memphis, Tennessee, 6th May, 1847. REPORT OF THE DELEGATE TO THE GENERAL ASSOCIATION OF MASSA- CHUSETTS. To the Moderator of the General Assembly. Dear Sir, — It is my duty to report to the Assembly, that I attended the Gene- ral Association of the Congregational Churches of Massachusetts, which met in the town of Pepperel, in the month of June last. Dr. P. Lindsley was principal, and 1 attended as altemate. There was a full and harmonious meeting of delegates, and a fraternal and con- servative spirit seemed to prevail amongst them. They gave me a very cordial reception, and manifested a disposition to maintain friendly relations with this body. A delegate was appointed to attend this Assem- bly as their representative. With respect and afl^ection, yours, B. H. Rice. Richmond, SOth May, 1847. P. S. This report should have been made at an earlier day, but for my peculiar circumstances. REPORT OF THE DELEGATE TO THE EVANGELICAL CONSOCIATION OF RHODE ISLAND. Salem, N. J., May 18, 1847. To the Moderator of the General Assembly. Rev. and Dear Sir — The undersigned respectfully reports that he attended according to appointment, the Evangelical Consociation of Rhode Island, at Wes- terly, in June last; that he received a kind and fraternal welcome in the capacity of delegate from the Assembly ; and was much gratified by his intercourse with the members of the Consociation.

Rev. and Dear Sir — The undersigned, appointed by the General Assembly of 1846, to attend the General Association of Connecticut, reports that he fulfilled his appointment. The Association met in Somers, Tolland county, on the 19th of June, and re- mained in session about two days. In performing tlie duties of his mission, it was the object of your delegate, after tendering to the brethren of the Association an expression of your good wishes, to give a brief statement of the condition and prospects of our branch of the church. And in doing this he did not forget to turn their attention particularly to the interest we have taken in the coloured population. The views of many of those brethren in relation to us, as connected with this subject, I am happy to say, are greatly modified. Being requested by one of the District Associations to " remon- strate" with us, touching our duty to this part of our people, the General Associa- tion appointed a committee whose report referred to our action on this subject in the kindest terms, and was unanimously adopted. Whilst there did not appear to have been so many added to their churches as in some previous years, there was, manifestly, indicated a growing attachment to gospel truth. Delegates were appointed to attend your present meeting. More tlian ever sensible of the importance of kind, fraternal intercourse, the undersigned respectfully submits the above, expressing the hope that this disposi- tion to a friendly correspondence on their part will continue to be reciprocated by us. Yours, «Sic. Joseph Mahon. REPORT OF THE DELEGATE TO THE REFORMED DUTCH CHURCH. To the Moderator of the General Assembly. Rev. and Dear Sir — It was my privilege to be appointed by the General As- sembly of 1846, as a delegate to the General Synod of the Reformed Protestant Dutch Church. That venerable body held its session in the city of Albany, and continued from the 3d to the 11th day of June. Your delegate was received with marked kindness and Christian courtesy, and with no small degree of gratification witnessed the proceedings of that orthodox and Christian Synod. The highest degree of parliamentary order and Christian kindness prevailed, even in their most earnest discussions, and uniformly marked their deliberations. The respected president of that body took occasion during the session, to assure your delegate on behalf of the Synod, that they feel bound to the Presbyterian Church by a close affinity, a special regard and a peculiar affection, inasmuch as we stand on ihe same basis of Christian faith, are animated by the same earnest zeal for the peculiar and distinguishing doctrines of grace, and contend with one accord against all the shades of error involved in the great apostacy. He also expressed the deep interest felt by that Synod in maintaining a friendly correspondence with the General Assembly. The Synod is a delegated body composed of an equal representation of minis- 412 THEOLOGICAL SEMINARIES.

The Trustees report to the General Assembly, that the following is the Report of their Treasurer, as audited by their Committee of Audit. The committee on the Treasurer's accounts report that they have examined and compared them with the vouchers, and find them correct, leaving in his hands a balance on general account, of two thousand two hundred and thirty-four dol- lars and eight cents. The Treasurer has received since the last settlement in May, 1846, on Educa- tion Fund, the sum of two thousand nine hundred and twenty-five dollars and seventy-five cents, which added to the sum of one thousand and eighty-one dollars and fifteen and a half cents, makes the sum of four thousand and six dollars and ninety and a half cents. And he has paid out of this fund, to students, on the order of Professors, the sum of two thousand nine hundred and forty-eight dollars and sixty cents; leaving a balance in his hands, due this fund, of one thousand and fifty-eight dollars and thirty and a half cents. The Treasurer has received, since the last settlement, on the Expense Fund, one thousand and six dollars, which, added to the sum of three hundred and sixty- three dollars and seventy-four and a half cents, makes the sum of one thousand -three hundred and sixty-nine dollars and seventy-four and a half cents. And he has paid out of this fund, for Secretary's salary, Treasurer's commissions, library, servants' wages, and contingent expenses, one thousand two hundred and thirty dollars and forty-eight cents, leaving a balance due this fund, of one hundred and thirty-nine dollars and twenty-six and a half cents. The Treasurer has received since the last settlement, on the Contingent Fund, eleven thousand and forty-six dollars, and ten cents, which, added to the sum of six hundred and forty-four dollars and twelve cents, makes the sum of eleven thousand six hundred and ninety dollars and twenty-two cents ; and he has paid out of this fund to Dr. Van Rensselaer, to reimburse him for money advanced by him for Professors' salaries, to Mr. Donaldson, for investment, and for Professors' 43* 422 THEOLOGICAL SEMINARIES.

Dr. Cortlandt Van Renssalaer, on the subject of his agency, viz. The undersigned. Agent for the Tlieological Seminary, respectfully submits to the Trustees the following brief account of the state of the funds belonging to his agency, and of his operations durmg the year. Cash received from all sources, since date of last report, $14,670 14, viz. Through Dr. McElroy, ..... $245000 From Subscribers, ..... 8524 79 Refunded by Trustees, ..... 18.53 71 Balance in May, 1846, ..... 1841 64 Total, $14,670 14 The above sum is accounted for as follows : Paid James Donaldson for permanent investments, - - $11,000 00 In hands of James S. Green, (Dr. McElroy's,) - - 2,450 00 do. do. (from subscribers,) - • 214 54 Balance in the hands of Agent at this date, ... 1,055 60 Total, $14,670 14 Accompanying this Report, are the vouchers for the money paid to Mr. Donald- son. Mr. Green's vouchers will include what has passed through his handsi according to the above statement. The total amount of cash received from the beginning of the agency, including three notes, which may be regarded as temporary investments, is $47,891 88. Of this sum, $41,100 permanently invested; $5786 28 used for contingent ex- penses; $1005 60 balance at this date. Total, $47, 891 88. It ought to be mentioned that James S. Green, the Treasurer, has invested during the year, $1,500, which may be regarded, as in part, reimbursing the above $5786 28. And inasmuch as $2500 of this last sum was given for contingent purposes, it leaves only $1786 2S, as the entire sum thus far appropriated for contingent expenses from the agency fund. It will be remembered that the Con- vention, under which I act, authorized the use, for the contingent fund, of as much of the amount subscribed, as was necessary, during the interval of the complete endowment. It is gratifying to find that the amount thus used is thus far so small. The total amount of agency funds now invested, including the above $1500, by Mr. Green, is $42,600, the interest of which is about $2500 per annum. In addi- tion to this sum, however, the subscriptions, in the hands of subscribers, amounting to about $7000 or $8000, will yield about $400 more. A number of other sub- scribers will probably pay during the year, which will increase the amount invested, and of course the interest. It may be safely estimated that the income from the agency funds for the next year will be at least $3000. A. D. 1847.] THEOLOGICAL SEMINARIES. 423 The amount of new subscriplions received during the year has been about S7000. The Agent, in consequence of receiving an appointment in the I'oard of Education, whicii it was thought his duty to accept, has not been able to prosecute tlie agency during the year past, to the extent he anticipated. He exi)ect8, how- ever, with the blessing of God, to bring it to a close, before another year. If too sanguine iu this expectation, lie will resign the agency into oiher hands.

Abstract of the Annual Report of the Board of Publication, May, 1847. During the year ending March 31, 1847, the Presbyterian Board of Publication have added to their catalogue twenty-one new books, amounting to 23,500 copies; two new tracts, amounting to 2U00 copies; and three occasional tracts, amounting to 10,500 copies. Whole number of new publications, 36,000 copies. They have also printed new editions from stereotype plates, amounting to 110,500 copies. Total number of books and tracts issued during the year, 146,500. The books issued during the year have been chiefly of the smaller and less expensive kind. As the catalogue at the close of the last year, had extended to more than two hundred works of different descriptions, the Board were admonished of the danger of so increasing the number as to make the Congregational Library loo expensive. They have also been aware, that a main object of the Institution is not to multiply good books indiscriminately, but to publish such as are adapted specially to the wants of the Church. A good proportion of those added to the list given in the last Report will answer the call, so often repeated, for books suited to children and youth. Among the more important publications of the year, may be mentioned, " Christ and Antichrist ; or Jesus of Nazareth proved to be the Messiah, and the Papacy proved to be the Antichrist predicted in the Holy Scriptures; by the Rev. S. J. Cassels, of Virginia. — An ably written treatise, on a topic of increasing im- portance to the Protestant Churches of our land, among which there is an alarming apathy to the moral influence of the errors which the author so thoroughly exposes. " An Exposition of the Confession of Faith, of the Westminster Assembly of Divines," by the Rev. Robert Shaw. — A book of moderate size, that displays much theoloo-ical research, and comprises within a small space the substance of many volumes. To those who desire an instructive and luminous explanation of the Westminster summary of doctrinal truths, this work will be a most acceptable offering. •' Obligations of the World to the Bible." — A mature and carefully written book, of more than three hundred pages, by Dr. Spring, of New York; exhibiting at once the strength and the polish of his gifted and instructive pen. " Minutes of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of the United States of America, from its organization, A. D. 1789 to A. D. 1820, inclusive." — A second volume of records, replete with details that are of common interest to the friends of evangelical religion, and especially to ourselves. The Board have also in hand, among other books, the following standard practical A. D. 1847.] BOARD OP PUBLICATION. 588 works— Alleine's Alarm, Baxter's Call to the Unconverted, Baxter's Saint's Rest, McLauriii's Essays, in the stereotyping of which they are promised the aid of some liberal friends, to whom they have been indebted for similar favours before. They are also preparing; for publication a splendid pictorial edition of Bunyan's Holy War, (with Burder's notes,) the engravings of which are to be on wood, and and executed in the first style of the art. The means for producing this valuable work, will be a sequel to the liberality which has enabled the Board to put the Church in possession of the Pilgrim's Progress, in so splendid a style, and at so moderate a price. They have in press "Thoughts on Family Worship," by the Rev. J. W. Alex- ander, D.D., a work of which it will not be too much to say, that it is worthy of the author and the subject. They also have in press "A Manual of Devotions for Soldiers and Sailors," a work of the highest importance to those whose spiritual priviles;es are so few, and who so peculiarly need the instructions and consolations of religion. The amount of moneys received during the last year, including a balance in the treasury at the date of the last report, is .$36,840 50. The condition of the treasury, as represented in the above account, furnishes evidence of the faithfulness with which the financial department of our concerns has been conducted. Acting as the Board do, under restrictions prescribed at once by their limited resources and the instructions of the General Assembly, they feel the necessity of running no unnecessary risks in business, which would expose Ihem to losses which they could ill sustain. While they have deemed it true economy in the manufacturing of their books, to employ the best mechanics and the best materials, as their publications will show, yet their contracts have been uniformly on cash principles, and therefore on the most advantageous terms. For the purpose of furnishing the churches with a succinct and comprehensive account of their plans and operations, they have recently published a short tract, containing a statement not only of their doings as a Board from their organiza- tion, but of the results. From this document it will be seen, that within less than seven years, since they began to publish, they have issued more than 575,000 volumes, or more than 80,000 yearly. In the same period they have published 177,000 catechisms, 37,500 almanacs, 5500 occasional tracts, 16,000 tracts on Po- pery, and 111,000 tracts on doctrinal subjects. Some of these tracts contain the matter of a small volume, and are many times the size of ordinary tracts. They have had executed by the best artists, on steel, copper, and wood, 337 distinct en- gravings, many of them of the mcst beautiful and costly kind. And although com- mencing their operations in 1840, with an available capital not exceeding ^48,000, they have made sales to the amount of $145,477. The Board have also been made the almoners of private donations, placed at their disposal by a few generous persons, to be distributed according to their judg- ment, by means of which $4300 have been expended, and about 10,000 volumes given to furnish libraries to Presbyterian clergymen of limited pecuniary means, to feeble churches. Sabbath-schools, benevolent and charitable institutions, and ehipsofwar. Many thousand volumes have thus gone through the Church from their depository, of a sterling character, distinctively Presbyterian in doctrine, and eminently practical in tendency, to convince, instruct, and comfort its widely extended community. Within a short period the Board have presumed so far upon the support of the churches, a*s to take some incipient steps in a system of Colportage. The value of such an agency in diffusing the books of the Board, as well as its efficiency, have been signally exemplified in the experience of other associations; but it has not been adopted by this Board for the want of means to sustain it. After mature and enlightened inquiry on the subject, they were convinced that the income from the sales would not justify the large outlay which would be required to carry on this mode of distribution to any considerable extent. The generous donations of a few individuals, however, have enabled the Board to commence the work. Agents for circulating and colporteurs have been appointed, who have already entered tiieir respective fields, and it is the purpose of the Board to increase their number just as fast as the means put by the Church at their disposal will warrant. The Board would also inform the Assembly, that they have procured from the Legislature of Pennsylvania, an act of incorporation as authorized by a previous Assembly. 534 BOARD OP EDUCATION. [Appendix. In conclusion, they would repeat the sentiments expressed in a former Report, that, let tlie Church become aroused to the importance of this institution, and to its power when fully put forth and properly directed; let them carry out the repeated recommendation of former Assemblies on the subject of cooperation, and then will its influence be felt, in giving strength as well as enlargement to our Zion. And while the Board thus solicit the assistance and counsel of the Assembly, they would, more than all, desire and ask an unceasing interest in their prayers. BOARD OF EDUCATION.

The Board embrace this opportunity to re-affirm before the Assembly and the Church, some of the leading facts and principles which are indissolubly connected with the advancement of the interests of ministerial education. I. The basis of all the operations of the Board of Education is, that a pious and well qualified ministry is the great instrumentality appointed by the Head of the Church for the conversion of the world. The work of training up ministers is therefore fundamental work in the Church of Christ. II. The providence of God calls loudly for more men to preach the gospel. The commission to " preach the gospel" at all, requirps that it should be preached " to every creature." The gospel is Christ's gospel for all the earth. The number of ordained ministers which the Presbyterian Church sends out to teach the heathen nations is exceedingly small in comparison with the extent of the field. The Judaism of the apostolic church, displayed in an unwillingness to send the gospel to the Gentiles, still shows itself at the present day. The Church should send forth hundreds of Christian miseionaries to relieve the cry of perishing millions, and to answer the importunity of an awakening world. But wheie are the men] " The labourers arefeio." Within the bounds of our own denomination, in this favoured land, there are nearly five hundred vacant churches. If some of these have been supplied during the year, others have become destitute of the means of grace; and if many of these congregations be small, yet in the aggregate they embrace many thousands of church members. Besides this large number of vacancies, there are hundreds of destitute places east, south, and west, where the gospel ought to be proclaimed from sanctuariea built up through the labours of Presbyterian missionaries. In addition to our vacancies and actual destitutions, we must include the almost confounding element of the increase of our population. The developments of American statistics are the romance of political economy. It has been computed, in popular language, that the wave of population rolls westward at the rale of eigh- teen miles a year, sweeping away the wilderness by a living tide of active and increasing encroachment. With an adequate supply of right-minded, devoted ministers, the number of Presbyterian churches might, in the providence of God, be speedily doubled. III. In the midst of these enlarged demands for more men, the fact stands out upon our records thai for the last three years the number of candidates in the Presby- terian Church has been diminishing. The watchman, in telling us of the night, could scarcely have alarmed Zion with a more fearful report. The small increase of candidates this year — which is eighteen in the aggreo^ate 536 BOARD OF EDUCATION. [Appeodix. above the numbpr of last year — should by no means diminish the solicitude of the Church on this vital topic. The number of candidates is far behind the wants of the Church and the age. The Free Church of Scotland, with about seven hundred ministers and congregations, has nearly the same number of theological students as our own branch of the Presbyterian Church, with seventeen hundred ministers and twenty-four hundred congregations. According to " the rule of three." which is a fearful test for us wlien we cypher with Scotland, our Church should have at least five hundred theological students, and one thousand candidates under the care ot tife Board of Education, in all stages of their studies. At our present rate of increase, it would take a generation to reach the relative numbers of Scotland, even if Scotland remained stationary during the interval. Small as our increase has been, during the year, there is danger that it will backslide again into a dimi- nution. No subject should more anxioi;6ly engage the attention, the prayers, and the efforts of the Church than the adequate supply of her ministerial ranks. . IV. God alone can furnish the Church with ministers. The ministerial office, which requires in the first place the regeneration of the soul, is entirely dependent upon the will of God. The grace of regeneration and sanclification is bestowed, through the cross of Christ, upon his own elect. In addition to a saving call, the ministerial office requires the intimations of God's will by the Spirit in regard to this particular vocation. The soul is called not only to the knowledge of Christ, but to the ministry of Christ. "No maa taketh this honour to himself, but he that is called of God as was Aaron." The Presbyterian Church is clear and explicit in her standards and in her prac- tice as to the necessity of a holy and divinely called ministry. This is a funda- mental principle in all her operations. V. The Church must use means to raise op ministers. The command of Christ to pray to him as the " Lord of the harvest," implies the faithful eflbrts of his Church, with a reliance upon his blessing, to secure the object of their supplications. The analogies ot religioiji confirm the same idea. The conversion of the soul as well as its sanctification, consolation and providential guidance, is connected with means of every kind and degree. Christian character and hope, in the end- less variety of gracious experience, depend upon the employment of divinely ordained instrumentalities. Why then should the single subject of furnishing the Church with ministers be selected as requiring no Christian effort, no anxious toil, no holy zeal, no persevering carel The authority of the Church is concerned in this great topic. If the Church cannot use means to call the attention of her children to the ministry, what voice can she have in their ordination? The topics she propounds in the examination of candidates as to personal qualification for the ministry, embrace the substance of the inquiries which the use of means furnishes for private consideration. If the Head of tiie Church exclude the preliminary agency of his saints, much less have they any right to sit in judgment on the irreversible decision of His will. Apostolic practice confirms the practice of the Church at the present time. Paul's injunctions to Timothy, such as "the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also;" " lay hands suddenly on no man ;" " ordain elders in every church ;" these injunctions demanded that Timothy should employ all suitable methods ot testing character. It was necessary for him to use all the means which Christian prudence suggested in regard to so important a work. The use of approprinte means for the increase of the ministry is the safest plan. To leave this great subject undiscussed and unattended to in the Church, is to hand it over to the impulses of fanaticism, and to all the misconceptions of igno- rance. This is the surest way to obtain ministers. Experience proves that when the Church uses the means of God's appointment, her candidates increase; and that when religion languishes and her efforts grow faint, their number diminishes. Pro- vidence teaches a lesson as impressive as revelation. VI. Means to be used. 1. Prayer to " the Lord of the harvest," is among the precious, personal instruc- tions of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Church, whose prayers ascend to '• the Lord of the harvest," will receive the first fruits of hia blessing in a spiritual and numerous ministry. A. D. 1847,] BOARD OF EDUCATION. 537 The Board solemnly and anxiously reiterate their convictions that the education operations of the Church cannot be successfully carried on without much prayer. The number of candidates will decrease, and their training will not be such as the Church and the age require, unless tiie grace of God, invoked by his people, shines around Our tabernacle by day and by night. 2. Pastoral iiistructioii is necessary for the increaseof the ministry. Our young men need encouragement, counsel, watchfulness, sympathy, warning, exhortation. They need pastoral supervision with all its kindly, persuasive, authoritative instruc- tions. They need to be appealed to from the cross, and from the tlirone. Every young man of piety and promise should realize that the Lord his God has bought him with a price, and that he must render an account of his profession — of the motives which led to its choice, as well as of the manner of pursuing it. Worldly influences are besetting our youth with a power that often tempts them to disho- nour their religion. Their liearts become pre-engaged by merchandize and tlie law and the farm and medicine, and corrupting idleness and the pride of life. What shall save our youth to the Church, if our ministers slumber 1 3. The parental consecration of children to Christ is an important element in increasing the supply of ministers. The children belong to God as the creations of his power, the "{iracious gifts" of his Providence, Having been also dedicated to him by baptismul vows, why should parents desire to lead them off from the sanctuary path, from the most honourable, useful, and glorious employment among the occupations of men ] Scripture example stimulates parental devotion in the early dedication and training of children. Hannah, having prevailed with God to create her child, solemnly "lent him unto the Lord all the days of his life." In all ages parental consecration has had much to do with the supplies of the ministerial ranks. The lives of Augustine, and Doddridge, and Edwards, and Davies, and Cecil, and Newton, and Mills and Payson are illustrations of the pow- er of parental tears and prayers. The Board of Education have observed in the correspondence of their candidates a remarkable testimony to this fact. Many of them particularly mention the respect for the ministry taught and felt in child- hood as having had an influence after their conversion in turning their attention to the sacred ofBce. The redemption of the world and all the measures to secure it, are closely connected with infant training. 4. Education under the supervision of the Church at the school, at the academy, and at the college, as well as at the seminary is of supreme importance to the interests of the ministerial profession. The neglect on the part of the Church of her baptized children and of her youth in general, at the very forming period of their character, is one of the anomalies which it is earnestly hoped will no longer tarnish our annals. 5. The increase of our ministers depends upon a system of Church co-operation, through which pecuniary aid can be rendered to the pious and indigent who feel called by the Spirit and by the voice of the Church to prosecute their studies vviih a view to the ministry. The duty of assisting our indigent candidates cannot be consistently denied, as long as our standards make high literary attainments an in- dispensible qualification for the sacred office. Evil will be the day in the Presby- terian Church when the rich can obtain an education for the ministry to the ex- clusion of the poor ! It has been computed that at least one half of all the ministers of our Church have been aided in receiving their theological education. God has in all ages sup- plied his faithful ministers chiefly from the ranks of the humble and the poor. The Church, therefore, is acting in the line both of God's Providence and grace. And she has been blessed in doing so. Her candidates are to be found in every Synod, rewarding her benevolence by arduous labours in the Redeemer's cause. A large proportion of our foreign and domestic missionaries have been both trained up and sent forth by the funds of the Church. Africa, India, and China testify that there is a blessing in the Board of Education. Many a wilderness and solitary place in our own and in heathen lands have been renewed in their long-lost hopes through devoted ministers, offered in baptism and nursed by the pious poor. The vast re- sults of our education operations in multiplying the number of ministers and in ad- vancing all the interests of the kingdom of the Son of God, will be known only in the day when he himself shall appear in his glory !

Abstract of the Annual Report of the Board of Domestic Missions for 1847. The past year has been marked with the special favour of God to the cause of Domestic Missions. This cause, in the Presbyterian Church, has silently, but steadily and surely, advanced. The whole number of missionaries in commission during the year, has been 431. Of these, 235 were in cojnmission at the com- mencement of the year, and 196 have been new appointments during the year. The whole number of feeble congregations, and missionary stations supplied, has exceeded 1200. This is a large increase, both in the number of missionaries, and in the number of stations occupied, over any former period. The number of itine- rant missionaries has been considerably increased, and most of the missionaries have spent a portion of their time in itinerant labours. So far as reported, there have been added to the churches, on examination, 1900 members; by certificate, 1400; total, 3300. Not le:?s than 70 new churches have been organized, and nearly 100 houses for worship have been erected. The interest in Sabbath Schools and Bible Classes has greatly increased ; also in catechetical instruction. This is a fact of deep interest. There is an increasing attention to the instruction of the young on the part of our missionaries, and a growing desire for such mstruction on the part of the people. The missionaries have engaged extensively in the distribution of the Bible, and in the circulation of religious tracts and standard religious books. The works of our own Board of Publication have been extensively circulated, and we irust are doing much good. The pastoral visitation of families has been attended to with much care, and with happy effects. A few of the missionaries have made laudable efforts to intro- duce and circulate among their people. The Missionary Chronicle, and with good success. Their example is worthy of imitation by all our missionaries. The monthly concert for prayer, and weekly prayer meetings, have been attended with increasing interest. There is evidently a growing interest in the benevolent operations of the day, and an increasing liberality in our mission churches. We have reported as collected for missions. Foreign and Domestic, between !?6000 and $7000, and an amount, much larger than usual, has been raised for other objects. The cause of temperance, we fear, has not advanced during the past year. In many portions of the missionary field, and especially in some parts of the west, there is fearful evidence of increasmg intemperance. There is also reason to fear, that the alarming sin of Sabbath desecration has increased. A. D. 1847,] BOARD OF DOMESTIC MISSIONS. 539 The obstacles to the progress of the gospel, in all portions of our country, during the past year, have been both numerous and powerful, and these opposing influences are felt in ail their strength on missionary ground, especially in our new settle- ments. But notwithstanding these opposing difficulties, the progress of this work has been decided. The immediatp, visible results, as we have seen, are great, and most encouraging. But in the great missionary work, we look to future and dis- tant results. Fu7ids. — The whole amount of funds at the disposal of the Board during the year, has been SG3,522..59. The balance on hand at the close of the year, is about $6000. The whole amount exceeds that of the preceding year by about $8000. The i7i- crease in the receipts of the year has not been large, still there has been an increase, which is in itself encouraging; and this increase has been principally in collections from the churches. This also promises well ; as the cause for per- manent resources must depend not on legacies, nor so much on the large dona- tions of the few, as on the smaller contributions of the many. In addition to the above, the Board have received in valuable clothing, to the amount of not less than from $3000 to $4000. This clothing has been distributed gratuitously among the missionaries most in want, and has been of great import- ance to them and their families. The Board have also received during the year, several hundred dollars' worth of valuable books and tracts for the missionaries, and for the people among whom they labour. They are able to close the year well, and to commence a new year under propi- tious circumstances. For these manifest tokens of Divine favour, they desire to be sincerely and devoutly thankful; and would view the goodness and faithfulness of God as a call upon them, for greater diligence and zeal in this work. The present liabilities of the Board are very large. These are daily becoming due, and will require immediate efforts to meet. Present liabilities will of necessity be greatly increased; very large demands, for both men and means, will be made on your Board the coming year. The missionary field is not only increasing in population, it is also widening and extending on all sides. Our new territory will make heavy demands on your Board of Missions, and we are certainly not at liberty to disregard these claims. If we would be faithful to our solemn trust, they must be met, and met promptly. This will require a large increase of funds, and for these the Board must depend on the churches. They have no other resources. The work of Domestic Missions, it should never be forgotten, is a constantly increas- ing uork. It will be much greater this year than it was the last, and it will there- fore require larger resources, greater effort, and more sacrifice. Agencies. — The Rev. Mr. Happersett has continued in the service of the Board during the year. He has visited the churches extensively in several of the Atlan- tic and middle States, and during the latter part of the winter and spring, he visi- ted several of the southern States. In the month of August, the Board appointed the Rev. Joseph M. Smith, D.D., of the Baltimore Presbytery, an agent for the Synods of Pittsburgh, Wheeling, and Ohio. The Rev. S. Scovel, D.D., who has so long and so faithfully served the Board as their agent in the West, continued in this service until the first of November, when he retired from the agency, and accepted the presidency of the college of South Hanover, Indiana, to which he had been elected. On the resignation of Dr. Scovel, the Rev. J. J. Bullock, a member of the Pres- bytery of West Lexington, and at that time pastor of the church at Frankfort, Kentucky, was appointed Correspondinsr Secretary for the Western Committee, and General Agent for the West. The Rev. Charles Sturdevant was also appointed an agent. Both these brethren accepted their appointments. CHURCH EXTENSION. During the year, appropriations have been made to aid in the building and finishing of /orZy-o?ie houses of worship; and in addition to these, aid has been given to thirteen congregations to relieve them from pressing debts, and save them from absolute ruin. The whole number of churches aided has been fifty-four, in sixteen of our States, and one church in Africa. In all the cases where the appro- priations have been paid, the houses have been finished, and the congregations 540 BOARD OF FOREIGN MISSIONS. [Appendix. entirely relieved from debt. It is on this principle the Committee make their appropriations: that with the aid granted, the people will pledge themselves to finish the building d^nAleave no debt. The result thus far has been most happy. The whole amount of funds received for this object during the year, has been $4596.85.

It is not by might, nor by power, but the Spirit of the Lord of Hosts, that the spiritual kingdom of our Lord is to be set up in the hearts of men. The Church may expect the Divine blessing in the use of lawful means; and through her benevolence, crowned with favour from on high, multitudes that are ready to perish shall rejoice in the life and immortality which are brought to light in the Gospel. The Report commences with a devout acknowledgment of these truths, and then proceeds to give a detailed statement of the condition and progress of the Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian Church during the last year. It is the design of this paper to present a brief Abstract of the Report. Finances. — The Receipts from all sources have been $95,628, less $1,949, bal- ance on hand from last year. It is peculiarly gratifying that the donations of the churches, which must ever be the main pecuniary support of the work, have been considerably larger than during any preceding year. From the Bible and Tract Societies, and from legacies, on the other hand, smaller sums have been received; but the whole amount is larger than the receipts of any former year. The expend- itures of the year have been $95,458. Publications. — Of the Missionary Chronicle upwards of 8000 copies are pub- lished, and of the Foreign Missionary nearly 13,000 copies. Besides these, 3500 copies of the Annual Report of 1846 were published, 7000 copies of Letters to A. D. 1847.] BOARD OF FOREIGN MISSIONS. 541 Children, by the Rev. W. S. Rogers, and 200f) copies of an Address before the Synod of New York, by the Rev. W. W. Phillips, D. D. Agencies. — In the Western and South-western Synods, the Rev. W. S. Rogers, and the Rev. I. N. Candee, have continued to act as agents of the Board during the year — Mr. Candee's agency ceasing at the end of the year now reported. In the Eastern and some of the Southern Synods, the Rev. H. R. Wilson, Jr., since his return from India, has presented the cause of missions to many of the churches. New Missionaries. — Ten ministers, two licentiate preachers — one of whom is a physician, a teacher, a steward, a carpenter, and ten females, the wives of mis- sionaries, have been set to different fields of labour. Their names will appear in connexion with their missions. Choctaw Mission. — The Rev. J. B. Ramsey and his wife, Mr. O. P. Stark, principal teacher, Mr. H. C. Gardner, teacher, and his wife, Mr. L. Bissel, teacher, Miss E. J. Morrison, assistant, Mr. J. Lathrop, mechanic, and his wife, Mr. J. McLure, steward, and his wife, and Mr. J. S. Betz, carpenter, are now connected with Spencer Academy, a Manual Labour Boardmg School, which is supported chiefly by the Choctaw nation. A serious sickness attacked many of the scholars in November last, proving fatal to three of them ; and the superintendent, Mr. Ramsey, was also dangerously ill. It became necessary to suspend the duties of the institution for a season. In January, the school was re-opened, and the full number of pupils, which is limited to one hundred, has been probably completed before this time. Their conduct and improvement have been highly gratifying to the Superintendent and Trustees of the Academy. These boys, who are spoken of as highly promising, are now in training for the duties of this life and for the world to come, under very favourable religious influences. This fact will encour- age the people of God to offer fervent prayers on their behalf. Creek and Seminole Mission. — The Rev. R. M. Loughridge, Mr. J, Lilley, teacher, and their wives, are still connected with this mission. The school con- tains eighteen boys and twenty-four girls, of whom twenty-one board in the mis- sion family. The Creeks are now so impressed with the importance of having their children educated, that the applications for admission into the school are more numerous than at any former period. Arrangements are in progress for establish- ing a Manual Labour Boarding School among them. The church contains four- teen native members, and more than two hundred have joined a Temperance Society. Iowa and Sac Mission. — The Rev. Messrs. W. Hamilton and S. M. Irvin, and Mr. F. Irvin, farmer, with their wives, are connected with this mission, the health of Mrs. Hamilton having become so much better as to permit their return to this field of labour. The Boarding School was opened early in the summer, and thirty Iowa children admitted as scholars. The Sacs refuse to send any of their children to the school. The missionaries continue to preach the Gospel to these Indians, but meet with great discouragement from the prevalence of intemperance amongst them. The hope of saving these tribes from extinction, seems to be centred in their children, who are now for the first time placed fully under Christian influence. Omahaw and Otoe Mission. — This is a new mission commenced during the year by the Rev. E. McKinney and wife, and Mr. P. Bloohm, formerly of the Iowa mission. Their station is at Bellevue, on the Missouri, near Council Bluffs. The number of the Otoes is 1166; of the Omahaws, 1050. The latter people, particu- larly, are in circumstances of great destitution, which strongly appeal to the bene- volence of the charitable. They are also inclined to receive with favour the instructions of the missionary. Seldom has any effort for the conversion of the Indians been undertaken, where there was a louder call for it. The Gospel alone can save these Indians, and should this mission be withdrawn, or not sufficiently supported, they will soon disappear, and their cry for help be heard no more. Chippewa and Ottawa Mission. — The Rev. P. Dougherty and his wife are now the only missionaries at Grand Traverse Bay, Mr. H. Bradley having, with the consent of the Committee, given up his post as teacher. The school has an average attendance of about thirty scholars. The church numbers twenty native mem- bers; the general prospects of the mission continue to be encouraging. • '"-**'' 53* 542 BOARD OF FOREIGN MISSIONS. [Appcndix. Western Africa. — There are two missions on the western coast of this dark land, one amongst the Kroo people, the other in the American colony. The Kroo ilission has three stations, at which are settled the Rev. J. M. Connelly and his wife, the Rev. J. M. Priest and his wife, Mr. VV. McDonough, teacher, and R. W. Sawyer, native teacher. In the early part of the year, some opposition to the missionaries was manifested at Settra Kroo, but afterwards a better state of feeling •was evinced. The pupils in the Boarding School, after having been reduced to eight scholars, were again increased to thirty. Small schools are also conducted 8t the other stations. Mr. Connelly has in view a journey into the interior, hoping to find an eligible place for missionary labour among the inland tribes. In the Liberia Mission, there are two stations, one at Monrovia, where the Rev. J. Eden is settled, and the other at Sinoe, now left unoccupied by the death of the Rev. T. Wilson, who was called to his rest. The school at Monrovia has been suspended for the present, and no late accounts have been received concerning the state of the church at that place. The Rev. H. W. Ellis and family, embarked for Monrovia in January. His attainments in learning under unfavourable circum- stances, and his steady and consistent piety, secured for him the confidence of the churches in Alabama and Mississippi, by whose liberality he and his family were redeemed from slavery. He was ordained by the Presbytery of Tuscaloosa, and it is hoped that a life of more than ordinary influence and usefulness is before him in the land of his forefathers. He is commended to the prayers of the churches. India: Lodiana Mission. — The stations of this mission are, Lodiana. Saharnn- pur, and Sabathu, — Merat having been relinquished ; and the missionaries are the Rev. Messrs. J. Newton, J. R. Campbell, J. M. Jamieson, J. Porter, L. Janvier, J. Cald- well, J. H, Morrison, and Golok Nath ; and Mr. A. Rudolph, a licentiate preacher; besides several native assistants. Mr. Jamieson is at present in this country, having returned to provide for the education of his children, but is expecting to go back to his field of labour during this summer. Mr. Campbell has been compelled by the failure of Mrs. Campbell's health, to leave India for a season, and is now on his return home. Mr. Morrison was formerly of the Allahabad Mission, from ■which he was obliged to withdraw by ill health, but he is permitted anain to labour in India. Mr. Rudolph was formerly connected with a local Missionary Society in Upper India, from which he brought satisfactory recommendations. He was licensed, and Golok Nath was ordained by the Presbytery of Lodiana. Most of these missionaries are married men. India: Furrukhabad Mission. — The stations of this mission are Futtehgurh, Mynpoory and Agra; and the missionaries are the Rev. Messrs. J. Wilson, H. R. Wilson, Jr., M. D., J. L. Scott, J. C. Rankin, W. H. McAuley, J. J. Walsh, and Gopee Nath Nundy, and their wives; and also the Rev. Messrs. D. Irving, and A. H. Seeley and their wives, and Mr. R. M. Munnis, a licentiate preacher, who have probably reached their field of labour, having left Calcutta in February last; besides four native assistants. The Rev. H. R. Wilson, Jr., and family have re- turned to this country for a season, on account of the continued ill health of Mrs. Wilson. Mrs. J. Wilson, whose return was mentioned in the last Report, expects to go back to India during this summer. India: Allahabad Mission. — The only station of this mission is the city of Alla- habad, and the missionaries are the Rev. Messrs. J. Warren, J. E. Freeman, J. Owen, and J. Wray, and their wives; besides two native assistants. The labours of the brethren atone of the stations of the Lodiana Mission were interrupted for some time by the war between the Sikhs and the British; but the Lord restrained the wrath of the wicked, and preserved his servants in safety. In the end, the field of direct labour was enlarged, and the missionaries now call loudly to the Church to occupy stations in the country west of the Suilcj, which has been opened for the visits and residence of foreigners. Besides the hindrance caused by this war to the missionary work, in some cases the routine of labour has been modified or suspended by the impaired health of members of the mission families. With these exceptions, the usual departments of missionary duly have been conducted in ail the missions; and with more than ordinary encouragement. About 1,000 children and youths are in the schools, of whom 145 are boarded, and A. D. 1847.] BOARD OF FOREIGN MISSIONS. 543 303 more are pupils of schools in which the English language is the medium of instruction. At Allahabad, the government having relinquished the charge of the College or High Sciiool for the education of native youths in English, it was trans- ferred to the Mission — together with the use of a valuable building. And at Fur- rukhabad, where a similar transfer was made some time since, the Mission acknow- edge the furtlier favour of the government in the gift of about 70U volumes of books for the use of the school. The churches contain upwards of eighty native members, of whom sixteen were admitted during the year. Two natives were ordained as ruling elders. A church and a chapel have been erected at Alla- habad, chiefly by the generous donations of English friends in India. The presses have executed over 13,000,000 of pages of the Holy Scriptures and other works, in four different languages. And these have gone largely into circulation among the natives, having been distributed by the missionaries on their journeys, at the fairs, and at other times in their intercourse with the people. The station at Agra continues to awaken the hope of wide usefulness. And, in general, the seed of the Word of Life has been broadly sown in this field of labour. May the churches have faith to pray for and to expect the dews of heavenly grace to descend and water the seed sown, that it may spring up and " bear fruit, and bring forth, some an hundred fold, some sixty, some thirty." Mission in Sum. — The mission of the Board in this kingdom, which had been suspended since 1845, is now resumed; and the Rev. S. Mattoon and his wife, and S. R. House, M. D., who is also a licentiate preacher, left this country in August last, for their future station at Bangkok, the chief city in Siam. The king of this country is one of the main supporters of Buddhism ; but " the king's heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water; he turneth it whithersoever he will." Special prayer should be offered unto the Lord for the king of Siam, that his heart may be turned unto the cross of Christ. The brethren appointed to this mission reached Canton on their way to Bang- kok, about the end of December. China : Canton Mission. — The Rev. Messrs. A. P. Happer, M. D., J. W French, and VV. Speer and his wife, are connected with this mission, and stationer for the present at Macao — Messrs. French and Speer having arrived at th^t place on the 26lh of December. A boarding-school of nineteen boys, under Mr. Hap- per's care, has given much encouragement to its superintendent. The city of Canton is regarded as the proper seat of this mission; but considerable difficulty has been found in procuring suitable houses, owing to the prejudices and violence of the people of that city against foreigners. China: Amot Mission. — The Rev. Messrs. J. Lloyd and H. A. Brown are sta- tioned at Amoy. An affection of the eyes has hindered their progress in learning the language, which is still the chief occupation of the missionaries of the Board in China; but the brethren enjoyed excellent opportunities of intercourse with the people of this city and the neighbouring villages, and of distributing religious pub- lications among them. In a house rented for a chapel, they have commenced reli- gious services, which were well attended. China: Ninopo Mission. — The Rev, Messrs. W. M. Lowrie, M. S. Culbortson, A. VV. Loomis, R. Q. Way, and J. W. Quarterman ; D. B. McCartee, M. D. ; Mr. R. Cole, printer; and Mrs. Culbertson, Mrs. Loomis, Mrs. Way, and Mrs. Cole, are stationed at Ningpo, Mr. Quarterman having joined the mission during the last year. The temporary station at Tinghai, Chusan, was necessarily relin- quished when that island was restored by the British to the Chinese. The mis- sionaries, though not yet perfectly at home in the native language, have been able to impart much religious instruction to the people in their daily intercourse with them; and three stated religious services are conducted on the Lord's day, in a city whore a few years ago no one was permitted to publish salvation. Two per- sons have been admitted to the church, which now consists of twelve members. The school contains thirty hoys, who are supported chiefly at the expense of the mission, and efforts are in progress to form a school for girls. Numerous opportu- nities occur for medical practice among the natives, which is a valuable auxiliary 544 BOARD OP FOREIGN MISSIONS. [Appendix. to the missionaries in their main work, the gift of healing for their spiritual mala- dies. The printing press is efficiently at work. Of twelve publications, 1,210,000 pages were printed. The educated Chinese express much admiration at the beauty of the work printed with the metallic types, which only are used at this press. The missionaries make an urgent appeal for six more missionaries. To give the gospel to the people of China is a great work, requiring efficient agencies, and a large measure of faith and of the spirit of prayer on the part of the Church. The missions of the Board in that field, now fairly commenced, are full of promise ; but the harvest truly is plenteous, while the labourers are few. " Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest that he will send forth labourers into his harvest." Papal Europe. — The work of evangelization in many parts of France and other European countries, appears to be attended with a manifest blessing from on high. The evangelists and colporteurs of the Evangelical Societies of France and of Geneva meet with great encouragement in their intercourse with the people. Many hopeful conversions are reportel; and large numbers, wearied with the bur- densome religion of Rome, are ready for almost any change. Under the preach- ing of the gospel, they would embrace the way of life. The sum of $3,002 has been remitted to the Societies above-mentioned, and the churches are entreated to take a deeper interest in the work of grace which is now in progress in those Romanist countries. The Jews. — The Rev. M. R. Miller la pursuing the study of Rabbinical He- brew and of the German language, in the city of New York, where he enjoys excellent opportunities of holding religious conversations with many Jews. Their number in this country is rapidly increasing, and thus far there appears to be aa open door for missionary labour amongst them. Concluding Remarks. — The Report concludes with stating, 1. That a larger number of labourers have been sent into the field than during any former year. 2. That it is the privilege of the Church to support the work of foreign missions, as shown by their happy influence on her own piety. 3. That great deficiency is manifest in the pecuniary support of this work, as evinced by the fact that many churches and church members have made no contribution in the year for its advancement. The Board can make no farther progress, without increased pecu- niary means. 4. That without the Divine blessing, all will be in vain. "Our greatest wants are, more of the spirit of believing prayer, more humility in the sight of God, stronger faith in the Divine promises, and more of the spirit of Christ." STANDING RULE. In the Minutes of the General Assembly for the year 1821, is the following im- portant rule, which was adopted by the Assembly. "An overture from the Synod of North Carolina was received and read, and is as follows: viz. " Whereas the General Assembly is the highest and most important judicatory of the Presbyterian Church; and whereas to obtain the Divine blessing on that judicatory must appear, to every Christian of our denomination, to be a matter of the utmost moment ; therefore, ^^ Resolved, Tha.t this Synod do respectively suggest to the General Assembly the propriety of recommending to all the churches under their care, to observe, annually, the afternoon or evening previous to the meeting of that body, as a sea- son of special prayer to Almighty God for his blessing ; that he would, of his infi- nite mercy, condescend to superintend and direct all their measures, deliberations, and decisions; so that all may redound to the promotion of His own glory, and the general prosperity of that particular Church to which we belong." A. D. 1847.] NOTICES. 545 TO THE STATED CLERKS OF SYNODS. It is the duty of the Stated Clerks of the respective Synods, to send up to the Stated Clerk of the General Assembly an annual report, stating^, in brief, the num- ber of Presbyteries, ministers, churches, licentiates, and candidates within their bounds, and particularly all changes which may have been made in the arrange- ment of Presbyteries. By the Assembly of 1841, (see p. 425,) it has been made their duty also to transmit to the Stated Clerk of the Assembly, the time and place of meetings of their respective Synods. THE STATED CLERKS OF PRESBYTERIES Are earnestly requested, 1. To make their Annual Reports, if they have no printed blanks, after the form on page 546 of these minutes; 2. To make them in fair legible writing, especially the figures; 3. To make them as full and accurate as possible ; 4. To report, as the Assembly has ordered, no cents, except in the Contingent Fund; 5. To add up with care the several columns ; 6. To append to the Statistical Table, a succinct account of the changes in their respective Presbyteries during the year; and 7. To transmit their Reports as early as practicable after the spring meetings of Presbyteries. Compliance with these requests, while it will be to each Clerk of Presbytery, but a small thing, will relieve the Stated Clerk of the General Assembly from a serious amount of perplexity and labour. THE CONTINGENT FUND. It has become imperative that the churches should contribute more generally and liberally to this Fund. It is now more than exhausted, while some of the cur- rent expenses of the General Assembly, are unpaid. As the result, the Stated Clerk is subjected to no little embarrassment. It is neither generous nor just that it should be so. Our church has wealth enough to enable the General Assembly to meet with promptness, all its annual expenditures. It may be thought that the amount, reported as collected for the Contingent Fund, should be sufficient for this purpose. And so it would be, or nearly so, if that amount were actually paid. But this is not the case. Small as the amount is, re- ported this year, it is considerably larger than has come into the Treasury, i. e. of the General Assembly. The Stated Clerk can account for this, only by supposing, that money collected for Presbyterial Contingent Funds is sometimes reported in- discriminately with that for the Contingent Fund of the Assembly. It is hoped that Churches and Presbyteries will not fail to attend to this matter. [See Min- utes, p. 394.] ' REGULATION, RESPECTING THE MINUTES. Adopted by the Assemblies of 1836 and 1837, and directed to be re-published in the Appendix to the Minutes. "Each Presbytery shall forward to the Treasurer, for the Contingent Fund of the Assembly, at or before the meeting of the Assembly in each year, a sum equal io fifty cents for each member of the Presbytery, and for any licentiate or other person who shall desire the Minutes, and whose post-office address shall be given. And the Stated Clerk shall not forward the Minutes to the members of any Presbytery from which no such remittance shall be made, but only to the Stated Clerk of such Presbytery, and to such members as shall forward the sum above stated." 546 ■T3 > Si O Ph PQ o cj 0 j2 bo . ^ c« Q iH pointed ('36) 251, ('37) 448, ('38) 46, ('39) Li6, ('40) 286, ('41) 434, ('42) 22, ('43) 184, ('44) 364, ('45) 9, ('46) 191, ('47) 374.
