The following report in reference to systematic collections was adopted :
The Committee to whom was referred the sulijcct of securing a more syste matic and efficient co-operation of the churches under tlie care of the Presby- teries connected ^vilh the United Synod in support of its benevolent enter- prises, beg leave to present the following report:
Wheheas, The churches in our connection are bound primarily to sustain the benevolent enterprises in which we, as a <lcnoniination, are engaged ; and, whereas, we have organizations for conducting three objects of Christian beneficence, viz : Home Missions, Foreign Missions and Education for the Ministry, and are also under the necessity of raising a Commissioners' Fund , and whereas, some more systematic plan of contribution is necessary to so- cor'; the amount of funds needed for these four purposes, therefore:
Resolved. That the Presbyteries be urged to carry out the following plan for sustaining more liberally the al)ovc-named enterprises.
1. T(j bring more distinctly before the churches under their care the obliga- tion to support our own institutions for the advancement of the cause of Christ.
2. To retjuire all their churches to take up a collection annually for each of the four objects above-named, and to try to afford every member of the church and congregation an opportunity of contributing to them all. These collec- tions, as far as i)racticabie, should be made quarterly, and in the following order, beginning with the 1st (juarter of the year: Commissioners' Fund, 2nd. Education. 3rd. Home Missions ; and 4th. Foreign Missions.
3. To see that each church rejiorts to the Presbytery at its regidar spring ineeiing. or the meeting next jjreccding that of the United Synod, all the col- lections made, and that the amounts received are accurately stated in the sta- tistical report of the Presbytery to the United Synod.

MINUTES OF THE UNITED SYNOD. 149
The Committee on Education report : that, in the absence of any report from the Board of Education and also of other means of information upon subjects properly claiming their attention, tliey can recommend only the two following items for the action of the Uniteei Synod:
1. That the present Trustees of Maryville College be continued as such until the next meeting of the United Synod.
2. That the attention of the Presbyteries be called to the importance of placing under tlie head of Candidates in their Statistical Reports to the United Synod, all the yoimg men in connection with their churches who may be pro- paring for the ministry.
The following report was adopted :
The Committee on Bills and Overtures beg leave to report tiiat but one me- morial has been placed in their hands, viz : from the Presbytery of Newton relative to a change in the corporate name of our body. In reply to said Overture, the Committee, in accord.ance witli a rc-^olution of instruction offered by Rev. .1. M. McLean, of .said Presbytery, and passed by the United Synod, recommend that action on said memorial be postponed for one year, owing to the unsettled condition of the civil relations of several States in which our church is found.
At their request this Committee was then discharged.

The Board of Directors of the Theological Seminary pre- sented their annual report. This report, including the resolu- tions appended, was accepted and adopted, and is as follows :
The Board of Directors of the Theological Seminary respectfully make to the United Synod the following report :
At the meeting of the Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia in July last, we again ajjplied to them for a grant of the privileges, in view of which it was proposed to locate the Seminary near Charlottesville, but they refused to entertain the s>d>jecf, and we became convinced that a mnjoiity of them did not wish the Seminary in that neghborhood. Upon this decision a special meeting of the Board was held in the month of July in Lynchburg, which was largely attended. After a protracted discussion it was unani- mously decided to relinquish the idea of placing the Semmary near the Uni- versity, and a Comn)ittee was apjjointed to examine other localities as sites for our institution. This decision we feared would produce some dissatisfac-

lion amnnj: the friends of our enterprise, but we believed, that if all could liave the facts before them just as they presented themselves to U'^, they would feel constrained to accept this as an unavoidable modilicalion of our original plan. Some apprehended that the change of location might vitiate the sub- scription, hut the Board, leaving the legal question out of view, felt willing to trust to the intelligence and generosity of the contributors, as long as the original design was adhered to in its essence, and as far as practicable in its details.
The Committee appointed to examine other localities as sites for the Semi- nary have not yet acted, and in the present condition of the country, the Board do not deem it expedient to fix its location permanently. But it may be im- portant to make a temporary provision for opening the school for the accom- modation of such of our young men as desire to prosecute their theological studies.
The absence of the general agent, who has been kept at home by the ap- prehension that his neighborhood may be the seat of war, prevents any de- tailed account of his action during the past pear. We know, indeed, that owing to the field liaving been so fully explored the previous year, and also to the distracted and anxious condition of the country during the most of the time, little could be done in the way of extending the subscriptions. From a letter received from the general* agent, since the meeting of Synod, we learn that, as far as heard from, the amount subscribed for the establishment of the Seminary is nearly §70,000, and including the interest due upon the subscrip- tions will probnbl/ reach $72, 000. Between five and six thousand dollars have been paid to the Treasurer of the Synod. For the present, there is little prospect of making collections; and if the subscribers could be induced to pay the interest upon their subscriptions, it would be of great service to the fund, and will be as much as can be expected imtil our country is in a more settled condition.
The Board recommend the adoption of the resolutions herewith submitted. JOSEPH H. MARTIN, Temporary Chairman.
May 20th, 1861.
Resolved^ 1. That the necessity of the Theological Seminary to our church is more pressing and urgent than ever, and that it is our duty to go forward in building up such an institution.
2. That the general agent and all subordinate agents be requested, in all cases where it is practicable, to collect the princijial of subscriptions to tlie Seminary fund, and if this cannot be done, to collect the interest on said sub- scriptions.
3. That the Board of Directors be authorized to make a temporary arrange- ment, by which young men connected with our churches, and esjiecially those who have lately returned fiom the North, who desire to pursue their theologi- cal studies, may receive the requisite instruction.
The following report on Church Extension, which was accept- ed on presentation, was taken up and adopted :
The Connniitco appointed on the subject of Church Extension report: that they have had the whole subject under consideration, and feel iully per- suaded that the work of the United Synod, at present, is "to strengthen the things that remain," and to this end would recommend:
1. That the United Syno<l confirm the appointment of Rev. Dr. Stiles as an evangelist to labor within our bounds, made by the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Board, and that he be requested to receive the contributions of the churches he may visit in behalf of the Home Department of said Board.
2. That the Board give si)ecial attention to our mission idiurch in Mobile, Ala., luidor the care of Rev. J. M. McLean, extcmling aid as it may be able to other feeble churches within our bounds.
MINUTES OF THE UDITED SYNOD. 151
3. Your Committee would also recommend that all our cburclies be called upon by tlieir respective ministers, wlictlier visited by Dr. Stiles or not, to cor»- tribute to Home and Foreign Missions as already recommended by the Com- mittee on Systematic Collections.
The Board of Domestic and Foreign Missions was re-elected and classified as follows : To serve for three years — Dr. W. F. Gaines, Rev. C. H. Read, D. D., P. R. Grattan, Thos. Sam- son, Joseph Rennie, S. M. Price. For two years — Robert A. Lancaster, John N.Gordon, C. B. Williams, P. F. Howard, Chiis. Gennet, F. B.Hart. For one year — W. P. Mayo, Alex- ander Kerr, Rev. P. B. Price, Robert B. Somerville, B. W. Knowles, George Bagby.
Resolved, That Synod reiterate its request iliat the Committee on Missions in each Presbytery communicate with the Board of Missions, and annually make a full rei)ort of what is ilone within the bounds of the Presbytery in behalf of Domestic and Foreign Missions.
The Committee on Leave of Absence reported that no appli- cations had been made to them, and asked to be discharged. The request was granted.
Synod took a recess until after public worship to-night.
After public worship Synod met. The following report was presented and adopted :
The Committee on Mileage and Finance report : that the wliole amount of money reported to them from the several Presljyieries on their assessment for the Commissioners' Fund is the sum of $843.05, which they have paid out as follows, to wit: $91.41 to the stated clerk of Synod, to be handed over by him to the Treasurer as so much for the contingent expenses of Synod for the cur- rent year — $l(^ to said clerk fur his travelling expenses to and from Synod — $249 to the Commissioners from the Presbytery of Osage, in payment of their expenses to and from Synod — and the remainder of $491.70 they have distri- buted pro rata between the Commissioners from the Presbyteries of Winches- ter, Hanover, North Alabama, Clinton, Lexington South, Newton and King- ston ; the aggregate amount of wliose expenses, as reported is $773. That said sum of $843.05 was made up in part by $50 from the Presbytery of Union, $50 from the Presbytery of Hol.ston, and $43.75 from the Presbytery of New River.
Your Committee arc of the opinion tliat owing to the greater means and ability to pay among the members of some of the Presbyteries tlian others, the present mode of assessment for the Commissioners' Fund does not operate equally tipon all; they, therefore, recommend that it be changed according to this principle, and that the following be the assessment in future:
Winchester $300, Hanover $200, Piedmont $100— total, $600. Union $180, Holston $150, Kingston $130, New River $1 15— total, $575 North Alabama $135, Clinton $85, Lexington South $60, Newton $60, Osage $50, Lexington, Mo., $30, Texas $15 — total, 485; aggregate $1,660.
The Committee on the Narrative presented a report, which was accepted and adopted. {See Appendix.)

NARRATIVE
OF THE
STATE OF RELIGION,
Adopted by the United Synod, at its sessiojis. j»i Richmond, in l86l
"The Lord loveth the jrates of Zion inore than all the ilwellings of Jacob." Her cause, tlicrefore, embracing; the welfare of every inilividiml .*aint, not less than the prosperity and ultimate triumph of the whole church, is ever immo- vably fate, "though clouds and darkness may be round about Him,"' and thou};h storms and tempests may be round about her. " Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea ; thougli tlie waters thereof roar and be troubled ; though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof."
At a time like the present, when civil commotion, discord and strife, the tjp-heavings of society, the dissolutiou of government, and the gathering of mighty hosts for deadly conflict, seem to realize this expressive lan;4uage of in- spiration ; when our cities and fields are threatened with desolation, our liomes with invasion, rapine and plunder, and our sanctuaries and altars, and even reli- gion itself to be trodden into the dust and utterly obliterated by the iron heel of war, it is with humble joy, inspiring hope and devout gratitude to Almighty God, that we fall back upon the testimony of his own sovereign, inscrutable love for his church, and upon his ]irecious word of promise: '-They that trust in the Lord shall be as Mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth forever."
In the midst of such excitements, dangers and alarms, it becomes us, with a deep sense of our imworthiness and ill-desert, thankfully to acknowledge the covenant-keeping faithfulness of our Heavenly Father in the gracious protec- tion vouchsafed to us, to our families and people during the ecclesiastical year now closed ; and especially thai so large a representation from our churches is permitted to be present at the sess^ions of the Synod at a time when the fear-inspiring tramp of the Red Horse is heard in every part of the land. — Nor can we, at such a junciure, innocently omit to notice in our thank.soffer- ing the special favor of God, in the iicacc. unity, unanimity nn<\ harmony which prevail in our Ijranch of the church, while other tribes of the same great family which still hold connections with the alienated parts of this dis- tracted country, are necessarily and painfully involved in the sectional strife,

and sooner or later must encounter the evils of dismemherment. Truly thank- ful for our manifold, distinjjuishing mercies, and penitently humbled for our pride, worldliness, covetoiisness, and unfaithfulness as the followers of Christ to our fellow disciples and the world, and our many other sins, may we, as a church, confess our faults to God and fervently sujiplicate his merciful inter- positton to avert the storm of deserved wrath which now impetuls over our land, and to restore and multiply unto us the unspeakable blessings of peace and of temporal and spiritual prosperity.
The past year, althoui,'h not signalized by any general and large outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the churches connected with the United Synod, has been, on the whole, one of encouraging prosperity and success.
There is cheering evidence that our minisicrs arc animated with the spirit of their Divine Master and of their vocation. And having become settled and satisfied in their ecclesiastical organization, free from the embarrassment of unprofitable and vexatious controversy, and all of one mind and one heart to build the walls and repair the waste places of Zion, they are "in labors more abundant.' The " preaching of the word ' is their delight. This has been well snsiaincil on their jiiirt, not only witliin their own congregations, but often also in missionary tours to destitute regions at remote distances. Such labors have been uniformly well received, and have resulted, in some cases, in the establishment of new congregations, and in others in the organi- zation of Sunday schools, which are ths hopeful germs of such congregations.
In this connection, the United Synod would briefly but earnestly call the at- tention of such churches as it may concern, to two facts which have come before them. The first is the extensive j)revalence of stated supplies to the churches, in lieu of settled pastors. This, for aught that we know to the con- trary, may be necessary in all the cases in which it exists; but it is undesira- ble, nevertheless, an<l must be attended with more or less sacrifice of the ad- vantages which the settled ministry contemplates The second fact relates to the inadequate salary of ministers in some instances. In theory there is no difference of opinion between us as Presbyterians on this point. God has "ordained that they who preach the gospel should live of the gospel." The evil, in the cases where it exists, may be necessary and unavoidable. If so, we cannot too highly commend the true-souled ministers who are willing, " working with their own hands." or heads, as the case may be, thus to eke out their necessary support, and enable them to share in the fidlilment of that beautiful gonpel jjaradox, "the poor have the gospel preached unto tliein." — But if it be not unavoidable, it is not simply bad economy — it is positively wrong — a downright extravagance, which the church cannot afford at a time when the harvest is perishing in the field and the laborers are few. If there be any virtue or necessity in these suggestions, " think on these things."'
The Synod has learned, with pleasure, of the regular, and, in many in- stances, of the increased attendance on the "ministry of the word." Let all the members of the churches realize their obligation.-, not only themselves to fulfil the injunction, " forsake not the assembling of yourselves together," but al.'^o to bring others with thctn to the house of God. Who can tell whether shall prosper, either this or that? Who can tell when the sovereign spirit may choose to arrest and regenerate any human soul ? This we know : that whenever he does this work, it will be by the "sword of the spirit, which is the word of God." And we have the same authority for the declaration, that the living ministry, "the preaching of the word," is God's favorite method for rendering this truth efi'cctual. Crowd, therefore, the temple gates of Zion, whenever the sacred word is there to be read, prayers to be offered, or the go^^pel to be preached.
No department of labor connected with our congregations is conceived to be more important or more encouraging of good and even of great results, than that of Sunday schools. "I love them that love nic, and they that seek me e'arlv shall find me." Whatever checiiug words may be tound in other
APPENDIX. 155
parts of the Bible to save the aged sinner from despair, it is certainly too late at forty, or even at twenty years, for one to lay claim to the encouragement of this tender and winning jjromise. When the dew of childhood or early youth is on the brow; when ihe mind is simple, impressible and tender; be- fore the heart has been beguiled and fascinated by the cheateries of the v/orld, or debased and hardened by its vicious indulgences, the "way of life" seems to be less beset with difficulties and discouragements, aud the wooings and yearnings of the Saviour to be more subduing and hopeful. We do not wonder, therefore — especially when we take into account the great facilities for imbuing tiie young with divine truth in our Sunday schools, and tlie large amount of religious knowleilge thus actually acquired by them — we do not wonder at the large proportion of the recruits which, are successively added to the church from this spiritual rendezvous.
It is, indeed, a pleasing sign that an institution, fraught with so much good in the past and present, and pronnsing so much more good in the future, is growing in the confidence, alfections and self-denying labors of both the min- istry and the people. In nearly all our congregations, and in many destitute neighborhoods outside of all other ministrations of divine truth, Sunday schools are in successful 0])eration, embracing thousands and tens of thou- sands of children and youth, destined, we believe, to fill the vacancies which may occur in the church of Christ on earth, and finally to "shine as the stars forever and ever."
The colored portion of our community form also an interesting and respon- sible part of our charge. To make them acquainted \vith the blessed gospel of the Son of God; with their duties to their Creator, to society and to them- selves; to provide for them suitnblo means of instruction upon these subjects, and as far as possible to secure their attendance on and best use of these means, so that they may truly attain, by the blessing of the Spirit of God, the forgiveness of sin and the hope of eternal life, are matters of weighty interest and responsibility to the churches. Some diflerence of opinion prevails as to the best method of attaining these ends. Did time permit, it might be edify- ing to give, in brief detail, the plan adopted by some masters for inculcating divine truth on the minds of their servants by oral instructions in Sunday school. The chief reliance for this object, however, is the ministry of the word — many of the ministers preaching occasionally, and some of them fre- quently, for the exclusive benefit of this class of our people — God also own- ing and honoring his wortl as the means of salvation to many.
In truth, with devotit thanlcsgiving and praise to Almighty God, we desire to record that the ministry of our brethren during the year has not been with- out the sealing approbation of the Holy Spirit. Several of the churches have been visited with grateful showers, which were very refreshmg to the saints and which brought spiritual life to many who were dead in trespasses and in sins. Others, again, have enjoyed the soft, noiseless dripjnngs of Divine grace, which, like the dew of Hermon, have kept the church fresh and beauti- ful with verdure, while now and then a germ of sinful human intellect has burst into the vigor and joy of life divine. The hope is gratefully cherished that between two and three hundred have thus "passed from death unto life," who will, at last, cluster about the throne and sing "redeeming love."
In many of the churches, prayer-meetings are regularly sustained and well attended. It has been truly said, "Prayer is the Christian's vital breath;" and if it be a fact that "only while we pray, we live," why should not these meetings be held in every church and be frequented by all its members ?
There are also several Bible classes in our churches which enjoy a healthy and vigorous existence. A better oppt)rtunity for a zealous pastor to distri- bute his milk and moRl with a discriminating adaptation to the condition and necessities of the different members of his flock, and to arm and equip the entire "sacramental host of God's elect" for his service, either in the church or in the world, nowhere exists. Wisely, therefore, may every pastor who
156 APPENDIX.
car, maiiifain a Bible class, and every parent and child, of a suitable age, be a member of it.
The various departments of Christian benevolence have been sustained by the cluirclies with their accustomed liberality. In some instances, the contri- butions to domestic missions have lar};cly exceeded those of former years, notwithstanding the great derangement and distress in the financial aflairs of the country. Our work in the Foreign field continues to be confined within narrow limits, and the disbursements for its support do not warrant any en- largement of it at present. Still we wish to realize that the " field is the world," and to have our full share in gathering the glorious harvest.
But what we, as* individuals, do, we must do quit^kly. The time is short; its fleet hours are rapidly hurrying us to the final goal. Since our lust annual convocation, two of our brethren in the ministry have finished their work on on earth and gone, we trust, to their reward in heaven. The mme of Robert Camplicll will no more be called on the roll of Clinton Presbytery, nor that of Robert M. Morrison on the roil of the Presbytery of Lexington, South. Each, as we hope, has already been written over the jiortals of his own mansion in glory. Let us, therefore, brethren, gird up the loins of our mind, and be sober, watchful, diligent, as those that must give an account, and " look for the glorious appearing of our Lord."
MISCELLANEOUS.
I. REPRESENTATION IN THE UNITED SYNOD.
The section in our Form of Government, relating to the ratio of repre- sentation in the United Synod, reads thus :

Annual Report of the Board of Domestic and Foreign Missions to tJie
United Synod.
FOREIGN DEPARTMENT.
In presenting the third Annual Report to this Body, it is the privilej^e of the Board to remark, that its operations in the Foreign field, though limited as yet, are successful beyond that measure which the peculiar diflSculties of the Mission in Greece would have led us to assign, as a proba- ble result of our eflbrts there, up to this time.
We are persuaded, that upon the perusal of our Missionary's Annual Report for the year just past, which we here present, you will, with us, be constrained to render devout thanksgivings to Almighty God for the assistance, which by Ilis wise providential care, and his sustaining and directing grace, he has so manifestly bestowed upon our beloved brother Kalopothakes.
New doors of usefulness have been opened to him — new friends have been brought around him, and opposers have been led to show him favor; while he has received strength of body and of spiritto toil and to endure, so as to take advantage of providential circumstances and press steadily on in the promotion of evangelical truth. You will observe, that during the year he was appointed an Agent of the British and Foreign Bible Society. In this capacity he visited Macedonia — distributed Bibles and Testaments, preached the Gospel as he could not in South Greece, and surveyed the field with a view to the employment, at some future time, of a Missionary, acting in conjunction with him, to labor there. He returned to Athens, deeply impressed with the importance of the opening in Macedonia, and transmitted to our Board a very interesting account of the scenes and incidents of his visit there, which no one of us could read without wishing that we could send a man at once to that inviting field. It is quite remark- able, that about the time these communications came from Dr. Kalopothakes in Greece, letters came; to us from a young brother in this country, a native Greek, seeking information as one who wished to go to Greece as our Missionary. lie is not yet ready, and will not be for perhaps twelve months; consequently, there has been no official action, by our Board, in regard to him; and hence it does not become us to allude further to him, in thib report, than to say: that if, upon his contemplated visit to this city next fall, the present favorable impressions of the Board concerning him
APPENDIX. 159
are confirmed, and the indications of Providence, in respect to liim, seem as clear as heretofure, an arrangement will probably be consummated, •which will secure us another valuable man in Greece; and in a manner providential in the circumstances which brous^ht him in our way, like those which marked the appointment of our first Missionary. Mr. Con- stantine, the young gentleman to whom we have allmled, is well and favor- ably known in Richmond, where he once resided, and where he professed religion ; he is well known, also, to Dr. Kalopothakes, who is anxious for his appointment.
Dr. Kalopothakes has recently had some trouble with the Greek Govern- ment. In order to the full understanding of what he says on the subject, it is necessary to state, that the chargi> brouglit against Jiim was in conse quence of his publishing " the Song of tlie Ass," a favorite Roman Catholic hymn, in praise of the ass which bore the infant Saviour into Egypt. He, of course, published it as an illustration of Catholic superstition ; l>ut way charged with blasphemy. But it turns out that the charge was brought at the instance of a Catholic priest, who was probably chagrined and mortified that in a rival Gr.^ek Church community such an exhibition should be made of the religious taste of the Romish Church.
Inasmuch as in Dr. Kalopothakes' Report he has to be his own witness as to tlic success of his paper and his other efi"orts in Greece, it is proper tO' say, that his statements are fully corroborated by valuable testimony, which, during the past year, as in previous years, has been fully spread before the public by Christian travellers and others conversant with his operations there. All of which testimony concurs in assuring us that our Missionary entorprize, though small, is not to be despised ; but is gradually developing features and achieving results whicii entitle it to be cherished in our sympathies and pravers with no limited views — but with an eye of faith to its indefinite enlargement in Greece and the regions adjacent. Our little one may yet become a thousand, and our small one a strong nation.
Rejjort of Rev. M. D. IvALorCfriiAKES, dated, Athens, Greece, April Qth, 1861.
"In making out my Annual Report fir tlie tliird year, I feel constrained to render tlmnks to our Heavenly Father, who has so kindly lent rne his assist- ance in tlie prosecution of my arduous work, and has sustained me most wonderfully in the midst" of many and various obstacles and disadvantages. Had I come in my own name, or in my own strength, I shfould long since have been obliged to give up a work, which, though good and excellent in itself, is by no means acceptable to the religious sentiment or moral condition of the country. But in my weakuess and insufficiency, I have been sustained by Him in whose all-sufficiency and strength I have placed all my deiien- dence, and therefore the Star has entered upon, and is pursiung, its triennial course with greater brightness than ever before. ^
The past year has been an inii)ortant one in the history of my work. My appointment, as an agent of the British and Foreign Bible Society, gave me such opportunities for uscfidness, and placed me in such a position, as I could not have had otlierw se. My going to Macedonia, and the publication of my journey, though it excited the enmity of the hierarchy, has. I trust, done much good. The discussion, too, which I had with the official paf)er of the Ministry of Ecclesiastical Affairs and Education, on Monks, and Pnesis, and Thncy- dides, excited the curiosity of the people, and caused many to thank me, both orally and by letter, for discussing these subjects.
I have already sent you an account of my tour in Macedonia, and of my
160 APPENDIX.
nepliew".s di'ntli; so that I iieoil net rejicat thi^n. 1 will only add, tlicTt after niy •lepartuie from Bcrrlioca, the Bishop of tliat phiro. whom, as you reoollect, I have charaotcrizt'd, in my report to the Bible S<iciety. as a cunning man, sumnionc 1 before liimself one of tlie men who ha<l boiijrlit buolcs from me, and liaviiii; taken them from him, ordered liim to be beaten for having Iiurcliased such books!
After all, however, that tonr was, I trust, the means of benefitting some of the inhabitants of Macedonia ; and I have no doubt that an itinerant mis- sionary, not only tliore, but anywhere in Turlccy. and even Iiere in Greece, if it were not for the law, would be the best means of working effectually for the enlightenment of the Greeks — especially il" lie were a medical man. Did I not believe (and with me even those who regarded my undertaking as a total failure) that the editing of a jniper like the Ular, is mure important than any other thing for Greece, I should have written to be sent on such an expe- dition, where I should be free to speak and act as I wished. And who knows but that I may, some day, be permitted to gratify this desire?
And now, a few more words about my troubles with the (Government. You know, from the jiapers I sent you, that No. 154 of the Slur was seized, on account of its containing a Song to an Ass. Of course I could not pass unnoticed such an unjust act; and it seems that in my just indignation. I wrote more severely than I should under other circumstances. So, as soon as No. 157 appeared, it also was seized. Yet the severity was not without its effect; for the attorney, at whom chiefly I directed my attack, sent two or' three gentfemen to tell me, that as an officer of the State, he could not but execute the orders of his superiors — that, personally, he hail nothing against me, and that I ought not to throw all the blame upon him. Likewise, one of the officers of the jMinister of Ecclesiastical Allairs had the goodness to inform me that the author of the outer for the seizure of my paper was not the Minister of Ecclesiastical Affairs. These things show that while all tho.~e gentlemen were at the bottom of my troubles, each one of thcni endeavoured to clear himself before me, lest I should make him personally the object of my remarks. It appears certain that they intendeil to make a fair trial, and see how the Star would stand the test; and I hope they had proof enough to convince them that though they have the power to do wrong, to persecute imjustly, they could not accomplish their purpose as easily as they thought; and that the Star will contiuue to hold its post to the very last. It is customary, in such instances, to bring the case bcfine the criminal court, a few (l:iy> after the seizure of the paper. But in my allair, strange to s ly, notvvitli.'^tanding my repeated appeals to the attorney, through the Star, my case has not, as yet, been brought before the court: and I hr)pe it will never reach the bench, for it would assuredly be an eternal disgrace to the kingdom of Greece. *
My list of subscribers has diminished by the withdrawal of some, hut increased again by the addition of others; so that the Star will he supported this year also. Among the nevv' subscribers are some who belong to the first class of citizens ; and this year, for the first time, the paper is taken in the two principal hotels of this city. So, after all, the truth has gained by these seizures.
When Dr. Leyburn, of Philadelphia, was here — who, by the way, baptized our little daughter — he was surprised to hear that a purely evangelical news- paper -liould be supported entirely by the list of its snb.^cribers. while the Presbyterian, the Christian Observer, and other such pa[)ers, in America, need the contributions of their respective churches for their support. And it really is wonderful to think that notwithstanding all the evil reports that are con- tinually spreading to my disadvantage, viz: That 1 am an apostate from the faith, a .Judas I.'^cariot, that I have sold my religion and am the tool ol' Dr. King (who, by the way, has not written a line for the Star these three year-); notwithstanding all these things, my paper is acknowledged, by all who read
APPENDIX. 161
it, to be the best thing for Greece, and its editor is regarded as a man on whose integrity they can rely.
My shop, too, n; w stands first, if not in business; at least in reputation, for order, cleanliness, truthfulness and honesty; and the Board of the Univer.^ty has unanimously chosen it to print their papers.
Over three thousand copies of the Scriptures have been issued from the depot under my cliarge, during the present year; and most of which were disposed of in the common schools. And when the Word of God has such free entrance to the firesides of the people, are we not justified in hoping that Greece will not be altogether given up? Shall we not hope that notwith- standing the enmity of some against evangelical efforts, the quiet influence of the reading of the sacred Scriptures alone may, one day, break down all the barriers of error and superstition ? I cannot but hope that such will be the fact before long, for it is impossible for the people to remain in ignorance when there is such a powerful agency at work among them.
God willing, by the end of May, I intend to make a tour through Pelopon- nesus, for the purpose of commencing a regular corresjjondence with the teachers of common schools, and for o))ening new avenues for the circulation of the Scriptures and of the Star. I only regret that every time I leave Athens, I haVe to prepare and arrange, beforehand, all the matter for the Star, except the few items of foreign and domestic news; otherwise its publication would have to be stopped, for want of a helper. How important, then, is it, that another Missionary should be sent out here as soon as possible ! A man of energy, of zeal for the cause, of ability, and of faith, who will not only assist me, but do many other things which, as a citizen, I cannot do.
Besides the Sunday morning Bible Class, I hold now a prayer-meeting in my own house, on Sabbath evening. It is the same meeting that was held at Dr. King's house, and was removed to mine since his sickness. It is conducted chiefly by me, though I am not able to do it justice in the English language. As often as Greeks attend, I make a few remarks at the close, for their benefit, and offer up a prayer in Greek. Of course I do all these things with caution, for the Government may avail itself of the fact of my being a Greek, and try to do some mischief To all who come, I say that these meetings belong to my family worship, an((*are open to all.
We pray that the Spirit of the Lord may be present in and preside over all the proceedings of our Synod, and that its coming meeting may be a refreshing season for you all. How much have we wished to be with you, and how often have we cherished the hope that at some future day we may be permit- ted to attend the meeting of a Greek Synod in some part of the Ottoman Empire !"
Last fall, your Beard attempted something in the matter of employing an Agency to visit our churciies, and excite an interest in the cause of Missions. Our Agents here, Rev. A. Mitchell, of the 3rd Church, Rich- mond, and Dr. G. E. Post, of New York, who is pursuing his medical and theological studies with a view to missionary settlement in Syria (and who was at that time almost decided to apply for his commission to this Board). by their sermons and addresses, at various places in Southwestern Virginia and Eastern Tennessee, which were everywhere well recei%ed, doubtless accomplished much good, in diffusing missionary intelligence and exciting a missionary spirit. We have had .-substantial evidence of this fact. We are gratified, also, to state, that during this tour, a wide and effectual door was opened to brother Mitchell for preaching the gospel. In Carroll county, where he labored day after day and night after night, with evident tokens of the presence of God's S| irit, and elsewhere, he was enabled to declare to unconverted and anxious souls the great theme of the Missionary — "'The unsearchable riches of Christ."

The above Report presents the principal facts concerning the operations of the Board in tho Domestic field. In only two instances are we informed, by direct communications, as to what Pr.^sbyteries are doing in their own bounds.
Rev. A. H. II. Boyd, Chairman Committee of Missions, Winchester Presbytery, reports :
1. fyOO appropriated to the Missionary work during the year.
2. Of $900 appropriated to that field, only $'250 have been received since May, 18G0.
3. The condition of the country afi'ects seriously the contributions, and the bretliren depending on the Cummittee are not a little troubled.
4. J^even ministers are aided by the Miss. Society, or the Soutliern Aid Society, through theTuvmer.
5. The field is an extensive one, and other missionary ground might be 0Cv?upied, if the men and means could be obtained.
"More of the 'Extension Spirit' is needed to carry on our operations vigorously; in the excited state of the country, there is great danger of all benevolent objects sufiering. Jnit the Lord reigns; and we trust He will overrule the commotions of the land for His glory."
The Domestic Missiimsiry Snciety, of Hanover Presbytery, furnish us their Annual printed Report ; from which"'we learn that they are steadily pursuing their important operations in their bounds, aiding five feeble Churches at an expense, during the past year, of $1,780, with a I alance in the Treasury of S688 67. They have made a donation to this Board (as mentioned in the Treasurer's Report) of $305.
All the oth.ir Presbyteries having failed to respond to the resolution of the Synod, by sending to this Board statements of their operations in their respective fields, we can only furnish such information concerning them as the Statistical Reports sent to the United Synod afibrd. The figures

P. B. PRICE, Secretary and Treasurer, United Synod's Board of Domestic and Foreign Missions.
Constitution of the Board op Education of the United Synod, prepared iu accordance with the 4th Resolution in the report of the " Committee on Education," and adopted hy the United Synod, at its late Sessio7i, in Huntsville, Ala. :
Article 1. The object of the Board ol Education shall be to extend pecu- niary aid to such young men, members of nur church, as may need assist- ance while pursuing their studies preparatory to the gospel ministry.
2. No candidate shall be received under the care of the^Board, unless he be recommended by the Presbytery to which the candidate "naturally belongs," or by its Committee on Education.

4. Presbyteries and churches co-operating with this Board, will be expected to pay directly to the Treasurer of the Board their funds collected for this cause; and the Board shall appropriate the same to the support of such candidates of their own as the contributing bodies may designate ; but subject to the limitation contained in the last clause of article 3rd, and to such further limitation as the state of the Treasury may require.
5. When Presbyteries or churches contributing to this fund have no can- didates of their own needing aid, then the whole of their contribution may be appropriated by the Board to such candidates as the Board may elect.
G. Presbyteries thus co-operating, shall be accounted " auxiliary" to the Board.
7. The Board shall exercise a pastoral supervision of our candidates when away from their own churches and pastoral care, at school, college, and seminary.
8. Should there be a surplus of means in the Treasury after all the candi- dates have been aided, then the Board may, at its discretion, grant aid to
APPENDIX. 165
any institution of learning being under the care of any of our Presbyteries or Synods, provided, always, that such institution shall have a prior claim, whose Presbytery has contributed most largely to the lunds of the Board.
9. The Board shall consist of ministers and laymen, and shall be annually elected by the United Synod, and shall continue in ofl&ce until there be another election.
10. Any person may become an Honorary member by paying into the Treasury at one time not less than $25.

13. The Board shall have power to fill all vacancies occuring in their body.
Directions to those icho may ivish to obtain assistance from the Board

2. The application must be forwarded to the President of the Board; and should state the lowest amount needed, and to whom and at what time it is to be sent.
If the churches would co-operate with the Board in accordance with the 4th resolution on Education for the Ministry adopted by the United Synod in 1859, then,
1st. Let each minister preach on the subject once within the year.
2nd. Let the collection be made at the time of the delivery of the sermon.
3rd. Let the funds thus collected he forwarded directly to the Treasurer, Mr. P. Seabury, Lynchburg, Va.
4th. As our appropriations of funds will have to be made before the fall sessions of schools, colleges, and theological seminaries begin, it is very important that collections be made and reported to the Board as early in Juiv as may be practicable.
