The Comraittee on Overtures have had under consideration a memorial
from Pennsj'lvania Presbytery asking the General Assembly " to take such
steps as may, in its wisdom, seem proper for the organizing of a Presby-
tery in Japan," and respectfully report that this is an important subject,
requiring more careful investigation and thought than it is practicable now
to give to it, and yet, perhaps, something should be done.
We recommend that our Board of Missions be directed to investigate
this matter with care, consulting with our ministers in Japan, and when,
in the opinion of said Board, it shall be proper to organize a Presbytery in
that countrj', and our ministers there shall consent thereto, the Board shall
report the facts to Pennsylvania Synod, which is hereby empowered, upon
this being done, to form and receive a Presbytery in Japan ; said Presby-
tery, when formed, to constitute a regular Presbytery of the Cumberland
Presbyterian Church, reporting to and constituting a part of said Synod,
and adhering to, and in all respects conforming to, the requirements of the
Confession of Faith and Government of said Church.
John Frizzell, Chairman.
THE MEMORIAL.
Whereas, The successful prosecution of the missionar}' work of our
Church in Japan requires the ordination of native workers ; and,
Where.vs, Thougli no Cumberland Presbyterian Presbytery has been
organized in that country, there are tliree ordained ministers of our Church
engaged in mission work there, two of them, the Rev. M. L. Gordon and
the Rev. J. B. Hail, being members of this Presbytery; therefore.
Resolved, That we do hereby memorialize the General Assembly, which
is to convene at Bentonville, Ark., in May next, to take such steps as may,
in its wisdom, seem proper for the organization of a Presbytery in Japan.

which was adopted ;
The Committee on Overtures have considered the memorial from May-
field Presbytery, asking that the line between the Synods of Green River
and AVest Tennessee be changed so as to place said Presbytery in the bounds
of the former Synod, and we report thereon :
Tliat ujion investigation we find that the territory of said Presbytery, ex-
cept two churches, is all within the State of Kentucky, and the desire of
said Presl)ytery seems to be pronounced in favor of the proposed change of
line.
We recommend that the prayer of the memorialists be granted, and the
line between said Sj*nods be so changed as to include said Presbytery with-
in the bounds of Green River Synod, Avith liberty to the two churches in
said Pres1)ytery, l)ut located in Tennessee, to elect whether they Avill re-

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON MISSIONS.
Under the Standing Rule, the Committee on Missions made the
following report, which was concurred in, and its recommenda-
tions adopted :
' Your committee have carefully considered the Report of your Board of
Missions, together with other papers referred to us for our consideration.
We are glad to note the proficiency of your Board in its work of the last
year, for although on account of the stringency of the times contributions
to this cause have not been as liberal as was hoped, yet, taking the whole
work into account, evident and encouraging progress has been made. It
appears, however, from the final statement of the Board's Treasurer, that
only six hundred and thirty -eight congregations, forty-nine missionary so-
cieties, and forty-eight Sunday-schools Iiave contributed through the Board,
during the year. Also, that only four hundred ministers have forwarded
offerings from their respective charges. From these figures we gather the
following facts, as shown by comparing them with the statistical report of
the General Assembly's Minutes of 1884 : 1st. That eleven hundred and three
1885.] Minutes of General Asse^ibly. 17
ministers, or nearly three-fourths of the whole number, have done nothing
for this great cause. 2d. Seventeen hundred and seventy-nine congregations,
or about three-fourths of the whole number, have made no contributions
through the Board. 3d. That the average contribution, botli for Home and
Foreign Missions, was less than six cents per member during last year.
These facts, while they do not show all that the entire denomination has
done for missions, do most clearly point out the source of our weakness in
this behalf. It is the opinion of your committee that the one main and
overshadowing reason for the leanness of your missionary treasury is found
in the failure of your ministers to present this matter to their people, and
then give them the information and the opportunity necessary to the exer-
cise of intelligent and systematic Christian beneficence.
In view of the great demand upon your Board for aggressive work, espe-
cially in the home field, this state of the case demands that more efficient
measures be adopted thi-ough which the co-operation of all the ministers of
your Church shall be secured. Therefore, in accordance with the General
Regulations, Sec. 13, which reads: "To the General Assembly belongs the
power to originate and carry on such general enterprises as missions, pub-
lications, etc., as it may from time to time deem for the best interests of the
whole Church. It may designate the plans and agencies by which these
enterprises shall be conducted, and the inferior courts shall see that its
injunctions are duly observed" — we recommend that the attention of the
Presbyteries be called to the importance of requiring their ministers and
Church Sessions, under pain of public censure (see Constitution, Sec. 31),
to present the claims of missions regularly to their respective charges, thus
giving the people the opi>ortunity of contributing to this cause.
Such recommendation, if faithfully regarded by the Presbyteries, would,
in the opinion of your committee, result in an onward movement in the
missionary work of the Church, such as would largely increase your efili-
ciency in carrying out the jNIaster's commission, " Go ye into all the world
and preach the gospel to every creature."
In this connection your committee further recommend that a copj' of this
report, together with any comments the Board of Missions may see proper
to make, be sent to the Stated Clerk of each Presbytery in your bounds,
with the request that the same be read before the Presbytery, and that
such action be taken as will secure the desired end.
For the condition of missions under the care of your Board in the home
field, we refer to the Board's report herewith returned, from which it will
be seen that these are being sustained with hopeful prospect of ultimate
success. We are pleased to note that it is the purpose of your Board, if
the needed funds are forthcoming, to give special attention- and aid to the
extension of the Church in the West and South-west, from which are com-
ing so many calls for help.
We concur in the opinion of the Board, "that the congregations of the
Presbyteries and Synods in which the respective city missions in the older
States are located, should furnish to the Board all the funds needed for the
support of such missions, so that all other home missionary contributions
may be employed in the extension of the Church in new fields in the AVest
and in the Indian Territory."

18 MiNBTES OF General Assembly, [1885.
In reference to missions in the Indian Territory, Ave learn through the
report of your Board and other sources that on the whole some progress is
being made, and that our missionaries among the Cherokees are making
efforts to establish Christian schools as auxiliaries to their work. We are
also informed that the Woman's Board, during its late meeting at Oxford,
Miss., indicated a willingness to aid in the work of sustaining missionaries
and schools among the Indians. In view of these facts, we recommend
that you authorize your Board, when the condition of the treasury will
permit, to give such aid to these schools as in their judgment may be prop-
er, and also that you gratefully acknowledge the purpose of the Woman's
Board to assist in this behalf.
Your committee also concur in the purpose of the Board as expressed in
their rejKjrt in reference to our work on the Pacific Coast (see report), and
recommend, 1st. That the Board take steps toward the establishing of at
least one city mission in California. 2d. That the Board secure an evan-
gelist for work on the Pacific Coast.
Concerning the foreign work we see evident indications of progress, and
feel that the Church has cause for gratitude to God for what has already
been done in Japan. Your Board is giving every possible encouragement
to that work, and will doubtless send other missionaries to that field as
soon as it is ijracticable to do so.
In addition to the foregoing, your committee further recommend :
1. That the paper referring to the practicability of having the Japanese
language taught in Cumberland University be referred to the Committee
■on Education.
2. That all Presbyteries and Synods contemplating the establishment of
a mission church in places already fully occupied by other denominations
shall first confer with the Board.
3. That you appoint some one whose duty it shall be to make an address
on missions some time during the sittings of the next General Assembly.
4. That you appoint the first Sabbath in October as a day whereon all
ministers in charge of congregations shall preach on the subject of church
erection, and collect funds for the same.
5. That you authorize your Board to appoint an agent whose duty it shall
be to solicit offerings for church erection.
6. That the first Sabbath in the quarter for Home Missions, and the first
Sabbath in the quarter for Foreign Missions, respectively, be designated as
days for concert of prayer for these interests. W. B. Fakr, Chairman.

PREFACE AND INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT.
The report which the committee had submitted to the General
Assembl}', containing the "Preface and Introductory Statement"
of the Confession of Faith, was as follows :
Publication of Confession of Faith.
The committee appointed at the last meeting of the General Assembly
with reference to the publication of the Confession of Faith and Govern-
ment of the Church respectfully submit the following report :
Referring to the action of the General Assembly on this subject (Min-
utes 1884, p. 20), it will be seen that the publication was ordered without
naming the agency charged with that duty, and this committee was ap-
pointed to read proof. While the General Assembly failed to give specific
instructions in reference to this matter, yet, from all the circumstances, we
were, and are, of opinion that it was the purpose and intention of the Gen-
eral Assembly that the Board of Publication should publish, and that this
committee should edit, the book — i. e., furnish the matter.
We were also of opinion that a Preface was necessary to the complete-
ness of the book, and that a short Introductory Statement on Chiirdi Gov-
ernment instead of proof-texts to the Constitution would be more accept-
able, and therefore prepared such papers for insertion.
After some delay, we learned that the Board had determined that nei-
ther of these papers should be inserted, but had decided to insert a Preface
prepared by one of the Board, it being an amendment of the one pre-
l)ared by us. As soon as this came to our knowledge, not having been
consulted, we objected, finding that said paper did not harmonize with our
views as to what should be stated in a Preface.

Some time afterward, and having in the meantime again considered the
whole matter, two of our number addre.ssed the following communication
to the Board :
"The undersigned, for the committee appointed by the General Assem-
bly at its last meeting, with reference to the publication, as ordered by it,
of the Confession of Faith and Government of the Cumberland Presbyte-
rian Church, believing it desirable that a Preface should be printed in said
book, have prepared one, and present the same herewith.
" Finding it impracticable to present Scripture proof-texts for each of
the various sections of the Constitution, Rules of Discipline, etc., without
too much repetition, we have deemed it advisable to give in a short ' In-
troductory Statement on Church Government' what we regard as Script-
ure authority for the general or fundamental principles of our Church Gov-
ernment, and said statement is herewith presented, and which should im-
mediately precede the Constitution.
" We are clearly of opinion that without these papers said book would
be imperfect and incomplete. S. G. Burney,

"preface.
"The Cumberland Presbyterian Church was organized in Dickson
County, Tennessee, February 4, A.D. 1810. It was an outgrowth of the
Great Revival of 1800 — one of the most powerful revivals that this country
has ever witnessed. The founders of the Church were Finis Ewing, Samuel
King, and Samuel McAdow. They were ministers in the Presbyterian
Church, who rejected the doctrine of election and reprobation as taught
in the Westminster Confession of Faith. The causes which led to the for-
mation of the Church are clearly and distinctly set forth in publications
issued at the time, and in various tracts and books published subsequently.
To these the reader is referred for full information on the subject.
"The Cumberland Presbytery, which was constituted at the time of the
organization of the Church, and Avhich originally consisted of only three
ministers, was in three years sufficiently large to form three Presbyteries.
These Presbyteries, in October, A.D. 1813, met at the Beech Church, in
Sumner County, Tennessee, and constituted a Synod. This Synod at once
formulated and published a 'Brief Statement,' setting forth the points
wherein Cumberland Presbyterians dissented from the Westminster Con-
fession of Faith. They were as follows:
"1. That there are no eternal reprobates.
"2. That Christ died not for a part only, but for all mankind.
"3. That all infants dying in infancy are saved through Christ and the
sanctification of the Spirit.
" 4. That the Spirit of God operates on the world, or as co-extensively as
Christ has made atonement, in such a manner as to leave all men inex-
cusable.
"At this same meeting of Synod, too, a committee was appointed to pre-
pare a Confession of Faith. The next year, A.D. 1814, at Suggs's Creek
Church, Wilson County, Tennessee, the report of the committee was pre-
sented to Synod, and the revision of the Westminster Confession of Faith
which they presented was unanimously adopted as the Confession of Faith
22 Minutes of General Assembly. [1885.
of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. Subsequently the formation of
the General Assembly took place. This judicature, at its first meeting,
A.D. 1829, at Princeton, Kentucky, made such changes in the Form of
Government as were demanded by the formation of this new court.
" In compiling the Confession of Faith, the fathers of the Cumberland
Presbyterian Church had one leading thought before them, and that was
to so modify the Westminster Confession as to eliminate therefrom the
doctrine of universal fore-ordination and its legitimate sequences, uncon-
ditional election and reprobation, limited atonement, and Divine influence
correspondingly circumscribed. All the boldly-defined statements of the
doctrine objected to were expunged, and corrected statements were made.
But it was impossible to eliminate all the features of hyper-Calvinism from
the Westminster Confession of Faith by simply expunging words, phrases,
sentences, or even sections, and then attempting to fill the vacancies thus
made by corrected statements or other declarations, for the objectionable
doctrine, with its logical sequences, pervaded the whole system of theology
formulated in that book.
" The compilers knew this, and they also knew that a book thus made
must necessarily have some defects. Still they felt assured that they had pre-
pared one which could not be fairly and logically interpreted without con-
tradicting the most objectionable features of hyper-Calvinism; and they
felt, too, that they had formulated a system of doctrines which any candid
inquirer after truth might understand. They did not, however, claim ihat
the time would never come when there might be a demand for a restate-
ment of these doctrines, which would set forth more clearly and logically
the system of theology believed and taught by the Cumberland Presby-
terian Church. That time did come, and so general was the desire through-
out the Church to have the Confession of Faith revised that at the Gen-
eral Assembly which convened in the city of Austin, Texas, A.D. 1881, a
paper was introduced looking to that end, and it was adopted by a unani-
mous vote.
"In view of the great importance of the work, tM'o committees were ap-
pointed, and it was made the duty of the first committee to revise the Con-
fession of Faith and Government, and of the second to review and revise
the work of the first. The committees met at Lebanon, Tennessee, the
seat of Cumberland University, where every facility could be enjoyed for
such labors, having free access to a fine theological library. After bestow-
ing great labor upon their work, giving every item earnest and prayerful
attention, the committees completed the tasks assigned them, and the re-
sults of their labors were published in pamphlet form and in weekly papers
of the Church for information, ' that criticism might be made by those desir-
ing to do so.' The committees, after receiving these criticisms, again met
and remained in session for a number of days, giving careful and prayerful
consideration to all the suggestions made. They then completed their work
without a single dissent, and subnutted the result to the General Assembly
which convened in the city of Huntsville, Alabama, A.D. 1882. That Gen-
eral Assembly, in 'Committee of the Whole,' considered with great pa-
tience and care every item in the entire book, taking a vote on each one
sefjarately, and at the close of each chapter or subject taking a vote upon
1885.] Minutes of General Assembly. 23
it as a whole. In this way the entire book, from l^eginning to end, was
carefully and ])rayerfully scrutinized, and necessary changes were made —
tlie most of them verbal ; and there was not in the final vote a single neg-
ative !
" Having completed its work, the General Assembly transmitted the
book to the Presbyteries for their approval or disapproval. The reports
from the Presbyteries to the next General Assembly, which convened in
the city of i!sa.shville, Tennessee, A.D. 1883, showed that this work had
been almost unanimously adopted. The General Assembly, having re-
\'iewed these returns from the Presbjieries, formally declared said book to
be the Confession of Faith and Government of the Cumberland Presbyte-
rian Church.
"The book is now sent forth with the strongest convictions that it is in
accord with the word of God. Let it be tested, not by tradition, but by
the Holy Scriptures, the only infallible rule of faith and practice."
" INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT ON CHURCH GOVERNMENT.
"Although no detailed form of Church government is laid down in the
New Testament, yet the general or fundamental principles of the same are
clearly taught therein.
"Under the Mosaic dispensation Church government was comprised in
the civil government.
" During the captivity the synagogue system of worship was established,
which, after the captivity, was introduced into Judea, and was in general
use at the coming of Chi-ist. In the synagogues Christ and his apostles
generally taught. (Matt. xii. 9; Luke iv. 16; John vi. 59; xviii. 20; Acts
xiii. 5; xiv. 1; xviii. 4.) The synagogue was under the control of a minis-
ter, ruler (Luke viii. 41 ; xiii. 14), and a bench of elders. Neither Christ
nor his apostles introduced any radical change into this mode of religious
worship and government, but adopted it as they found it. The polity of
the synagogue and of the Jewish ecclesiasticism generally was simply and
l^urely Presbyterian in form — a government by presbyters. This fact is to
the English reader somewliat obscured bj' translating the Greek j^resbuteros
by the English word elder.
"The Church oflicial was called presbuteros (presbyter), and an assembly
of these was called presbuterion (Presbytery). (Luke xxii. 6G; Acts xxii.
5; 1 Tim. iv. 14.)
"All apostles were elders, but all elders were not apostles. (1 Pet. \. 1.)
The apostles had no successors, as such. The chief characteristics of the
apostolic office were two— to have seen Christ, and to have been personally
called to it. (Acts i. 21-26.) Paul's case was peculiar, but it was not an
exception to this rule. (Acts ix. 1-12; xxii. 1-15.) The apostolic office, in
its technical sense, therefore, of necessity expired with the death of those
personally called by Christ. Others were called apostles, as Barnabas, but
not in the sense of those appointed by Christ. The terms elder and bishop
in the New Testament denote the same office, the former being current
among the Jewish and the latter among the Gentile Churches. (Compare
1 Pet. v. 1, and Phil. i. 1.)
"The New Testament recognizes two kinds of elders— those that labor
24 Minutes of General Assembly. [1885.
in doctrine and those that rule. (1 Tim. v. 17.) The former are invested
with ministerial and also with governmental functions, and the latter with
governmental only. This fact puts both a clerical and a lay element into
all Church courts.
"Aside from the apostolic office, which was temporary, the presbyterial
was the highest- known to the Apostolic Church. Paul, as a presbyter,
took part with other presbyters in the ordination of Timothy. (1 Tim. iv.
14; 2 Tim. i. 6.)
" While the elder or presbyter is the highest, it is also the lowest desig-
nation of a Church functionary recognized by the New Testament. The
grades in the ministry of deacon, elder, bishop, archbishop, etc., are post-
apostolic, and are without Scripture authority. The deacon is not a cler-
ical but a laical functionary. (Acts vi. 1-6.)
" The Church courts recognized by the New Testament are Church Ses-
sions (1 Tim. V. 17), Presbyteries (1 Tim. iv. 14), and Synods, or A.ssemblies
(Acts XV. 5-21).
"The following scriptures are relied upon for the exercise of Church
discipline: Ezek. xliii. 11, 12; Acts xv. 5, 6; Matt, xviii. 15-20; 1 Cor. v.
4, 5; Heb. xiii. 17; 1 Thess. v. 12, 13; Ezek. xxxiv. 4; 2 Thess. iii. 6, 14,
15; 1 Cor. xi. 27-32.
'! The scriptures herein designated show the qualifications which dea-
cons and ruling elders should possess : Acts vi. 1-6 ; 1 Tim. iii. 8-13 ; 1 Tim.
V. 17; Tit. i. 5, 6; 1 Cor. xiv. 40.
" The following Scripture references give the qualifications which a min-
ister of the gospel should possess, and also the manner in which he should
be inducted into that sacred office: 1 Cor. ix. 16; Heb. v. 4; Jer. xx. 9;
1 Tim. iii. 1-7; 2 Tim. ii. 2; 1 Tim. iv. 14; 2 Tim i. 6."
Learning, in response to said communication, that the Board would not
insert the matter thus furnished, but was willing to publish an edition
without any Preface, the two members of the committee acting in the mat-
ter acquiesced for the time and made no further objection, seeing that
much delay had already occurred, and knowing the anxiety felt by many
for the appearance of the book. It was understood, however, at the time
that the committee would submit the whole matter for the action of the
General Assembly.
We, therefore, respectfully submit this matter to the General Assembly,
not in a captious spirit, but that such action may be had as may seem best.

P. S. — It is proper also to state that the Rev. T. C. Blake, who was appointed
a member of this committee, believed he was selected simply as a technical
I)roof- reader ; and though his views were in perfect accord with those of the
committee, he declined to meet with them in their conferences on the sub-
ject, believing that it was his duty simply to see tliat the matter furnished
by said committee was correctly i)rinted ; and to tliat position he adhered
to the last, refusing to recognize any authority in the premises except that
of the committee.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON PUBLICATIOX.
Under the Standing Eule, the Committee on Publication sub-

Assembly took recess until 8 o'clock p.m.
Tuesday, May 26, 8 o'clock p.m.
REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON PUBLICATION.
The General Assembly resumed the business pending at recess,
and the Report of the Committee on Publication was amended
and adopted as follows :
Your Committee on Publication would submit the following report :
We have had referred to us the Report of the Board of Publication and
a number of memorials and resolutions, upon which we sul>mit the follow-
ing:
Ox THE Report of the Board of Publication'.
1. The appointment of the Rev. J. P. Sprowls, to fill the position made
vacant by the resignation of the Rev. R. M. Tinnon. — Your committee
recommend that the General Assembly ratify said action of the Board.
2. Certain changes in the editorial work, which involved the Board's dis-
pensing with the labors of the Rev. J. R. Brown and the Rev. R. Y.
Foster, and the employment of the Rev. J. M. Howard.— Your committee
recommend your indorsement of the action of the Board in the employ-
ment of the Rev. J. M. Howard. We recommend further that in view of the
earnest, faithful, and efficient labors rendered the Church by the Revs. J.
R. Brown and R. V. Foster, and especially by the former in conducting so
successfully for many years your weekly periodical, the Cumberland Presby-
terian, this General Assembly does hereby re-atfirm its former deliverances
of appreciation of such a high type of Christian integrity, devotion, zeal,
and usefulness.
3. The condition of your paper, the Cumberland Presbyterian. — While,
for good and sufficient reasons, there has been some diminution in the
patronage given the periodical during the past year, we note with delight
the favorable outlook for it as expressed by your Board, and anew^ reiterate
the importance of increased efi"ort for the widest possible circulation of
such an invaluable educator in morals and religion.
4. The Sabbath-school Literature.— With great pleasure does your com-
mittee mark the increasingly flourishing condition of the Sunday School
Gem and Our Lambs, under the very efficient management of Mrs. D. M.
Harris.
It is the conviction, too, of this committee that the high standard to
which the Sunday School Comments, Lesson-leaf, and Rays of Light have been
brought, through the able efforts of those to whom the trust was com-
mitted, emboldens your reverend body to make more imperative your de-
mands that all your churches avail themselves of the benefits of their own
denominational Sabbath-s(;hool periodicals.
26 Minutes of General Assembly. [1885.
5. The employment of the Rev. B. W. McDonnold, to prepare for
publication a full History of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. — While
your committee entertain the strongest convictions as to the need of, and
desire for, such a denominational book at the earliest practicable day, yet,
in view of the stringency of the times and the meagerness of the funds of
the Board, we respectfully recommend, (1) That your Board exercise great
care in the prosecution of said work, lest such a measure result in financial
embarrassment. (2) That undue haste be avoided by the author in the
proposed History of the Church.
6. The Financial Exhibit of the Board. — It affords us much satisfaction
to note the care with which your Board, through its Agent, conducts its
business. The following will show the financial status of the Board:
Loss on machinery $1,380 18
Loss on business 1,983 86
Total loss $3,364 04
Indebtedness $10,527 96
Accounts due the House 8,076 86
Net $ 2,451 10
7. In consideration, therefore, of the foregoing statements, j'^our com-
mittee recommend that you hereby express to the members of the Board
the high apj^reciation of this General Assembly of their earnest labors in
sustaining such an uuportant enterprise of the Church.
8. We have considered the resolution of the Rev. F. J. Tyler, in refer-
ence to the publication of the Rev. W. J. Darby's lectures to the theological
.students in Cumberland University on Pastoral Theology, and recommend
its reference to the Board of Publication, with power to act.
9. A memorial from the students of the Theological Seminary in Cum-
berland University, in regard to the Rev. S. G. Burney's lectures, was re-
ferred to us. We recommend that you refer the subject-matter to the
Board of Publication, and direct that they open correspondence with the
author upon the subject, and make such arrangement for publication as
they regard as safe and equitable, and that they suggest the completion of
the copy of said lectures by the author as soon as possible, so as to have
them safe from the casualties incident to the uncertainty of human life.
We recommend the adoption of the following resolution, referred to us
by you :
THE RESOLUTION.
Whereas, The General Assembly, which met at Lebanon, Tennessee,
May 16, 1878, appointed a committee, consisting of the Revs. T. C. Blake, J.
W. Poindexter, and E. B. Crisman,to review certain matter which had been
prepared by the Stated Clerk for a Digest of the Minutes of the General
Assembly, and, if approved, to turn said matter over to the Board of Pub-
lication, who should proceed to issue the same ; and.
Whereas, Said committee did meet, review, and revise the matter in
hand; and,
Whereas, Believing that the publication of such matter would be of
great benefit to the Church ;
Resolved, That the Revs. T, C. Blake, G. T. Stainback, and Ruling Elder
1885.] Minutes of General Assembly. 27
John Frizzell be appointed a committee to take in hand the matter already
prepared, prei^are such other matter as is necessarj', and report at the next
General Assembly as to the advisability of publishing the same in the form
of a digest or otherwise. E. T. Bowers.
In answer to the various resolutions and memorials referred to us con-
cerning the election of the editors of the Church, we recommend the fol-
lowing:
1. That the next General Assembly shall elect an editor-in-chief and an
associate editor of the Cumberland Presbyterian and as book editor.
2. That the term of office for the editors shall be four years ; except that
the associate editor first elected shall hold his office for onlj' two years, so
that one editor will thereafter be elected every two years, and the paper
will always have one editor of experience.
3. The Board shall have power to fill all vacancies occurring in the edi-
torial department when the General Assembly is not in session, and such
arrangement shall last until the meeting of the first General Assembly after
the occurrence of such vacancy.
Your committee have had referred to them a memorial from the Indiana
Presbytery, asking for certain additional columns in the statistical forms,
touching which we recommend the following:
Between the columns for Sabbath-schools and Church Building and Re-
pairing insert blanks as follows : Home Missions, Foreign Missions, Edu-
cation, Publication, and Ministerial Relief, and after the column for Char-
ity one for miscellaneous purposes.
To obviate the probable confusion that may arise from the possible dis-
crepancies in the reports setting forth the different departments repre-
sented, we recommend further that the several Boards report in accord-
ance with their own accounts, and that the General Assembly's statistical
exhibit, through its Stated Clerk, be made up from the statistical reports
from the congregations in accordance with the statistical forms herein
named.
As to the claim of the Rev. J. R. Brown for salary as editor of the Cumber
land Presbyterian, we recommend as follows:
1. That a committee, consisting of the Rev. G. T. Stainback and Ruling
Elders A. B. Martin and J. H. Fussell, be appointed, who shall investigate
said claim and adjust the same.
2. That the Board of Publication shall pay to the said Rev J. R. Brown
whatever said committee may decide is his due.
We have had harmonious sittings as a committee, and have earnestly
considered and freely spoken over all the issues before us, and cannot al-
low our report to go before you without sending along with it the accompa-
nying paper, signed by a minority of our committee, while the whole com-
mittee sign the report. S. H. Buchanan,

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION.
The Committee on Education submitted the following report,
which was adopted :
Your Committee on Education submit the following :
We must educate. As Christians, we must educate. As Cumberland
Presbyterians, we must educatd It is to educate, or, in the race set before

us, be left behind by secular educators and by sister denominations. In
the world's broad field of battle, Christian institutions of learning are
among the most efficient ordinances of our spiritual warfare. It is gratify-
ing to note that of American Colleges five or six to one are under religious
control. Our own denomination is not indifferent to the education of its
ministry and its children. The j)ractical jjroblem ever recurring is, What
more can we now do for this cause ?
The excellent report of the Board of Trustees of Cumberland University
has been examined with much interest. The increase, both in attendance
and endowment, is gratifying, and promises well for the future. Around
this institution center our most cherished hopes for the prosperity of the
Church. While its general educational work is but a part of what is going
on throughout our borders, yet the fact that our coming ministry must be
educated there, magnifies its importance, and calls for active and universal
co-operation. An adequate endowment for the Theological School is the
one great necessity of the present period in our history. It cannot and
must not be longer deferred. The relation of the Theological School to all
our other enterprises is such that, whatever anxiety may exist for the ad-
vancement of any of the latter, the full strength of every portion of the
Church should be centered on the former until it is fully equipped. The
great increase in the number of theological students during the past few
years, and especially the present year, is enough to im])ress the whole
Church with the absolute necessity for a complete equipment of the insti-
tution where so many of our young men are in process of training. When
increased advantages are offered, the number of those in attendance will
correspondingly increase. The Church will hail with joy the day when a
reasonable number of her four hundred and fifty probationers for the min-
istry seek that preparation without which their usefulness must be cur-
tailed. To hasten its coming the General Assembly should project, and the
Church push forward to a successful issue, the most vigorous measures.
On this subject we recommend:
1. That the Board of Education be authorized and instructed to employ
. at the earliest possible date, on behalf of the General Assembly and in the
name of the whole Church, a competent agent to solicit funds to complete
the endowment of Cumberland University.
2. That from the funds first realized from such agency there shall be set
apart an amount sutticient to raise the endowment of the Theological De-
partment of the University to one hundred thousand dollars. All moneys
raised by such agency shall, as fast as it comes to hand, be turned over to
the Trustees of said University, to be by them invested, and the interest
thereon appropriated as in the case of other like endowment. The Board
of Education shall audit the accounts of the agent at least once each year,
and they shall report to the General Assembly, at its stated meetings, what
has been accomplished.
3. We recognize the fact that the professors in the Literary Department
of the University are performing a great service for the Church in educat-
ing a large proportion of our probationers who go to Lebanon. They, as
well as the professors in the Theological School, are devoted, loyal, and un-
complaining in spirit, toiling with all their strength to meet the demands

of the Church, and yet are but partially paid. Not forgetting this fact, we
deem it the duty of the Church first to complete the endowment of the
Theological Department.
4. That the whole Church be encouraged to start anew in this enterprise
with broader views and in deeper earnestness to give it the precedence
which it de.serves, and with one united effort to make this great movement
a triumphant and speedy success.
5. That the pastors and people be urged not to await the coming of an
agent, but rather to forward contributions from public or private collections
to those authorized to receive them.
We return herewith the Eeport of the Board of Trustees of the University
for insertion in the Minutes, and with the further recommendation that
the several acts of the Board set forth therein be approved.
AVe call attention to other institutions of learning from which we have
information, and heartily commend them to the entire Church, as well as
to the particular sections from which they expect their patronage.
Lincoln University, at Lincoln, 111., has a Classical, Latin, Scientific, and
Ladies' Course, also a Conservatory of Music, a Commercial and a Normal
Department. The latter is new, the design being to furnish the country
with well-qualified teachers. The catalogue shows ten instructors and two
hundred and forty-three students, of whom eighteen are in the senior class.
During the past year several thousand dollars have been added to the en-
dowment fund.
Trinity University, at Tehuacana, Texas, has good buildings and a pro-
ductive endowment of $22,000. It also has valuable property that is at
present non-productive. Over three hundred students have been in attend-
ance the past year, twenty-three of whom are candidates for the ministry.
The University is more prosperous than it has been for years past.
Waynesburg College, in Pennsylvania, has recently completed its efforts
to add $30,000 to its endowment fund, and its work is prospering.
Bethel College, at McKenzie, Tenn., is under the care of West Tennessee
Synod, and is doing good work.
Ozark College, Greenfield, Mo., has good buildings, with six instructors,
and about two hundred students have matriculated during the present
scholastic year. It is under the care of Ozark Synod, and is enjoying a
rapid growth.
Southern Illinois College, at Enfield, 111., under the control of Illinois
Synod, has been in operation five years, and now has six teachers and one
hundred students.
Cumberland Female College, at McMinnville, Tenn., has had a prosper-
ous year, with ten teachers and one hundred and forty-six students; all its
departments — music, art, literary, and scientific — being patronized by large
classes. The buildings and grounds are worth $25,000, and improvements
worth $4,000 have been added the past year. The school was organized in
1850, and is under the care of Middle Tennessee Synod.
Union Female College, at Oxford, Miss., has first-class buildings, an ample
corps of instructors, and one hundred students. The college is now free
from embarrassment.
At Buffalo Gap, Texas, two hundred and fifty miles west of Tehuacana,
1885.] ' Minutes op General Assembly. 31
an educational institution has been e.stablished, which has buildings worth
$10,000, one hundred and twenty students, and four instructors.
Eflforts are still in progress in behalf of the proposed college in the State
of Missouri.
Cane Hill College, belonging to Arkansas Synod, has done, and is still
doing, a good work.
While much is being accomplished throughout the Church in behalf of
education, it appears from the Report of the Board of Education that the
particular work it is designed to accomplish is not fully appreciated. Its
aim being to assist young men preparing for the ministry in their efforts to
procure an education, it ought to be encouraged with liberal contributions.
As we are now in the midst of the educational quarter, the claims of this
Board are earnestly commended to our Churches.
Respectfully submitted. W. J. Darby, Chairman.
MANLOVE PROPOSITION.
It was recommended that the " Manlove Proposition," in refer-
ence to the endowment of the Theological School at Lebanon,
Tennessee, be kept open until Januarj^ 1, 1886.
REPORT NO. 2 OF PROOF-READING COMMITTEE.
The following Keport No. 2 of the Committee on Reading Proof
of the Confession of Faith was adopted :
The undersigned, of the special committee appointed at the last meeting
of the General Assembly with reference to the publication of the Confes-
sion of Faith and Government, respectfully report :
That by oversight, or from misapprehension, an additional question and
answer — number 106 — to the Catechism has been added. This was done
without the knowledge of the undersigned ; and while we attach blame to
no one, we are of opinion that this question and answer should be omitted,
as it Avas never acted upon by the Presbyteries.
We also report that by inadvertence either of the undersigned or the
proof-reader a proof-text (1 John v. 7) is added to Section 7 of Confes.sion
of Faith, page 13, which was not intended to be inserted, and we are of
opinion it ought to be taken out.
Respectfully submitted. ' S. G. Burney,

REPORT NO. 2 OF COMIkllTTEE ON MISSIONS.
The following Eeport No. 2 of the Committee on Missions was
read and concurred in :
We recommend that the following report be concurred in, and that it be
spread upon the Minutes of the General Assembly.
W. B Farr, Chairman.
32 Minutes op General Assembly. [1885.
In l)chalf of the Committee on Co-operation in Foreign ISIissions ap-
pointed at the Belfast meeting of the Alliance of the Reformed Churches
throujihout the world holding the Presbyterian system, I submit to you the
following, viz. :
One of the great objects embraced in the Constitution of this Alliance is
" to entertain all subjects directly connected with the work of evangelization,
such as the relation of the Christian Church to the evangelization of the
world, the distribution of mission-work, and the combination of Church
energies." The Philadelphia meeting of the Alliance in 18S0 expressed
itself as deeply impressed with the importance of close union in the prac-
tical work of the mission-field among the Reformed Churches, regarding it
as " most desirable and timely were the Churches represented in this
council to adopt such measures as in their wisdom might seem meet for
maturely considering the question of the best means of further organizing
and unifying our evangelism in the several fields in which a plurality of
Presbyterian missions are contiguously established, and this in such a
manner as to be in harmony with the interests and claims of the parent
Churches."
A committee consisting of American and European sections was appoint-
ed to present the subject to the several Churches composing the Alliance
and report to the next meeting. The committee w'as further instructed as
follows: "Should it become manifest in the meantime that plans of co-
operation to some extent can be agreed upon among some of the Churches
interested, the said committee are authorized and requested to give such
aid in carrying them into effect as may be found practicable."
The report of this committee to the Belfast meeting of the Alliance
showed a remarkable degree of harmony on this important subject both
in Europe and America. • Communications representing fourteen different
Presbyterian Churches, seven in each country, were presented, all strongly
indorsing the proposition of the Alliance for the closest possible co-opera-
tion in their several mission-fields. The idea of transmitting to heathen
lands the differences existing between the various branches of the Presby-
terian family was universally deplored. Nearly all were explicit in express-
ing the wish that there should be but one Presbyterian Church in each
mission-field.
Concerning the great end desired there seems to exist but one sentiment,
the only difference being as to methods. It may be a number of years
before this union and co-operation between the Presbyterian Churches is
brought about in all mission-lands, but it will surely come, and it may now
be near at hand. In some instances it has already been realized, and its
fruits are eminently satisfactory. The following examples are worthy of
note : In China, at Amoy, the missions of the English Presbyterian Church
and the Reformed Church of the United States have united. Following
this example, the feeling for union is growing rapidly throughout the Em-
pire. The missions of the Presbyterian Church in the United States, the
Reformed Church of America, and the United Presl>yterian Church of
Scotland, in the Empire of Jajian, have united with the most happy re-
sults. " The Presbyterian Church of Trinidad" consists of the missions of
the Free Church of Scotland, the United Presbyterian Church of Scotland,
1885.] Minutes op General Assembly. 33
and the Canada Presbyterian Church. The Presbyteries of the Free and
the United Presbyterian Churches of Scotland in South Africa have agreed
upon a basis of union, and tliey are also negotiating with the Congregation-
alists with a view of having one Theological Seminary for the training of
native ministers. An interesting development in Scotland is the adoption
of a brief statement of doctrine to serve as a formula to be subscribed to by
native ministers, licentiates, and elders. This was drawn up by a joint
committee of the Established, Free, and United Presbyterian Churches of
Scotland. My impression is that we, as Cumberland Presbyterians, would
accejjt it without alteration.
In supporting the New Hebrides Mission, eight Presbyterian bodies
unite. In India there are thirteen Presbyterian Churches at work, and the
missions are rapidly gravitating toward union. Already a Presbj'terian
Alliance has been formed, and the prospect is that all will ultimatelj' be
together in Presbyteries, Sjaiods, and in one General Assembly of India.
Dr. Chamberlain, of Madras, in a speech at Belfast on this subject, said:
" This }nust come. It cannot be i^revented. Obstacles may be thrown in
the way. The consummation may be deferred, but we, your armies in In-
dia, facing a compact, determined foe, must become one army, and God will
hasten it."
Such is the spirit of the times on the field where the greatest victoz-ies
are now being won for Christ. As a denomination we have taken our
place before the world as a part of the great Presbyterian family. In re-
sponse to the request of the Alliance the supreme judicature of this
Church, in common with others, is called upon to express itself regarding
union and co-operation in the work of Foreign Missions.
As a part of the committee appointed by the Alliance for that purpose, I
submit this question to the General Assembly.
I also submit for your approval or modification the following communi-
cation, which has been forwarded to the American section of the commit-
tee, that will convene in Elizabeth, New Jersey, May 26 ;
EvANSViLLE, Ind., May 20, 1885.
E. Kempshall, D.D., Convener Presbyterian Alliance Committee on Co-operatiou in Foreign
Missions.
Dear Brother: — I verj' much regret that I cannot attend the meeting of
the above committee appointed for the 26th instant, it having been made
my duty to attend the General Assembly, which will be in session at that
time. I take pleasure in submitting to the committee what I believe to be
the sentiment of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church on this subject.
1. We believe union on the Foreign Mission field is desirable, and will
cheerfully enter into whatever measures may seem best, looking to that
end. Instead of transferring our differences to mission-lands we would
gladly join our sister denominations in the plan of establishing one Presby-
terian Church in each mission-field.
2. We regard it as ver}-- desirable, if not essential, to formulate a short
and simple yet comprehensive creed, in harmony with and containing the
essential doctrines held by the Churches composing the Alliance, the same
to be used in ordaining native ministers, elders, and deacons. A worthy
example in this regard has already been exhibited by our brethren of the
Churches in Scotland.

34 Minutes of General Assembly. [1885.
3. The Foreign Mission work in the Church at home would be conducted
in each denomination as at present, except as the union in the foreign field
would naturally bring about a better understanding of each other's meth-
ods, mutual correspondence and conference between Boards, together with
a general feeling of sj^mpathy and unity of action throughout the Church-
es, such as could not otherwise be secured.
4. In effecting the desired union, the principal practical point of differ-
ence would perhaps be in determining the relation of foreign missionaries
to the home Church. The missionaries themselves, who know best the cir-
cumstances and needs of each field, are most competent to advise in this
matter. If the home Churches will agree to submit this and kindred sub-
jects first to the missionaries themselves, we believe that they through con-
ferences among themselves can speedily arrive at substantial agreement.
Whatever the course pursued in the effort to bring about union, difficulties
will arise, but we believe a wise adjustment lies in the line of policy here
suggested. For illustration, we refer to the experience of the Presbyterian
Church of England and the Reformed Church of the United States in
China. In a matter of this kind it is safe to make mutual concessions and
trust the providence of God.
Believing God will guide us and all branches of our Presbyterian family
in a matter involving interests so vital to multitudes in heathen lands, this
subject is submitted to your prayerful consideration.
Respectfully, W. J. Darby, Member of Commiltee.
REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON SABBATH-SCHOOLS.
The following Eeport of the Committee on Sabbath-schools was
read and concurred in :
Your Committee on Sabbath-schools have had the subject under consid-
eration. Much has been written, and well written, upon this theme, and
to many the subject is believed to have been exhausted years ago. If this
were so, it would afford no solid reason why there should not be a reitera-
tion of important facts that have been already stated ; for line is to be upon
line, and precept upon precept ; pure minds must be stirred up by way of
remembrance. The Israelites were referred to the rock whence they were
hewn, and the hole of the pit whence they were digged. This was of much
importance to them to check pride in their boasting of their prosperity,
and to elicit thankfulness in the bosoms of the devout.
An obscure printer, in an obscure town in England, was induced, on the
rei)resentation of a female, whose name is forgotten, to provide for the in-
struction, on the Sabbath, of the wayward youth in the suburbs of his
native village. Robert Raikes, at that time, had no idea of the potent in-
strumentality for good which was then being introduced. It is God's plan
to make much of a little — to kindle a great fire from a little matter — to make
a mountain to fill the earth from a little stone cut out of the mountain
without hands. The inception of Sabbath-schools, as far as man was con-
cerned, was only intended to benefit the few. Not so the purposes of God.
Distant lands and unborn generations were in his eye. With man there is
what is called chance and accident, but not so with God.
1885.] Minutes of General Assembly, 35
A man was once amusing his friends with a piece of loadstone suspended
on a cork in a basin of water. He observed that every time when the
loadstone was left at liberty one part of it would uniformly point north.
This led to the invention of the mariner's compass, by aid of which mis-
sionaries can be borne with certainty to lands to which God in his provi-
dence and by his Spirit calls them.
The man, carving letters on the bark of a tree, only thought of the
amusement of his children. Not so with God — lie had a deeper design. It
led to the discovery of the art of printing. And if we were going to form
a trio from modern discoveries to contain the most useful of them, the
compass, the press, and the Sabbath-school should make up that trio.
There is, perhaps, no subject of greater importance to the Church. It is
the nursery of the Church. A field of usefulness opens up in this direc-
tion that cannot be successfully cultivated in any other way. Aside from
family training, there is no other means of instilling moral principles and
making such beneficial and lasting impressions. Around the fireside and
at the mother's knee the child receives the first lessons about God and
heaven ; but next to this the Sabbath-school comes in to perforna an im-
portant part of the religious work of training the soul for heaven. Many
of the young, through this instrumentality, have been guided to a precious
Saviour ; many others have received impressions that have, in after-life,
influenced them to become religious. And, although these truths are so
clear, yet we regret that there is comparatively so little being done. There
are thousands of children in our midst who are spending the Sabbath-day
in a way that leads to pernicious habits.
In view of these and many other considerations that might be mentioned,
your committee would recommend :
1. That your ministers stand firm in the Sabbath-school cause, and en-
courage Sabbath-school conventions as a means calculated to promote the
work of religfon whereby the young and rising generation may be led to
Christ.
2. That your elders and members all feel that it is a duty incumbent upon
them to be present on all possible occasions to take part in the Sabbath-
school exercises.
3. That your Sabbath-schools be urged to do all that can be done legiti-
mately to organize mission Sabbath-schools wherever openings may be
found.
4. That your people co-operate with the American Sunday-school Union
where such co-operation appears to be productive of the most good.
5. That your Sabbath-schools be most earnestly urged to patronize the
Sunday School Gem, Our Lambs, Sunday School Comments, Lesson Leaf, and
Rays of Light. These publications are among the very best Sabbath-school
papers found anywhere. They offer freshness, variety, sense, life, and vigor
on all their pages. They meet the wants of the times.
A. J. McGlumpiiy, Chairman.
REPORT NO. 3 OF COMMITTEE ON OVERTURES.
The following Eeport No. 3 of the Committee on Overtures was
read and concurred in :
36 Minutes of General Assembly. [1885.
The Committee on Overtures have examined the memorial from Central
Illinois Synod, which has been referred to us, and find that it is upon the
subject of statistics, and as the Committee on Publication has already re-
ported on this subject, we ask to be discharged from the further considera-
tion of said memorial. John Frizzell, Chairman.
REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON MINISTERIAL RELIEF.
The following Eeport of the Committee on Ministerial Relief
was read and adopted :
Your Committee on Ministerial Relief report:
1. That they have had before them the Annual Report of the Board of
^linisterial Relief, which they have carefully examined, and find no fault
in it, and your committee heartily recommend its approval.
The said report gives unmistakable evidence that the Board is fully
alive to its appropriate and important work, and is performing that work
in a most satisf actor j^ and praiseworthy manner. No enterprise of our
Church commends itself so tenderly to the Christian sympathy of the
whole denomination as does this one. Its whole object is to do good to
those who need and well deserve the good which they receive.
2. Since this is an enterprise of the Avhole Church, and since the Presby-
teries are the essential integral parts of the whole Church, and since they
have the direct oversight and guardianship of all tlie ministers, it is, there-
fore, highly important that the Presbyteries, without exception, co-operate
with the Board in carrying out the noble purposes for which it has been
created. Therefore your committee would hereby earnestly but affection-
atel}' call the attention of all the Presbyteries to the workings and require-
ments of this Board as set forth in their Annual Reiwrt ; and would further
recommend that the Presbyteries order a collection to be taken up at least
once a year in all their congregations, and be reported to .the Board at
Evansville, Indiana, and that December be the month for said collections.
3. Your committee are informed that the Secretary and Treasurer of the
Board performs the labor indicated by his offices with great propriety, and
that he does it freely and without compensation. Your committee suggest
that you gratefully acknowledge this valuable service.
4. Your committee further recommend that you request the Board of
Publication to donate a reasonable amount of printing during the year to
the Board of Ministerial Relief, say to the amount of twenty-five dollars,
if necessary.
Respectfully submitted. J. M. Gill, CJiairman.
REPORT NO. 4 OF COMMITTEE ON OVERTURES.
The following Eeport No. 4 of the Committee on Overtures was

The Committee on Overtures, to whom was referred the request of
the Rev. George N. Clampett, have considered the same, and respectfully

latter Synod. AVhile we do not question the statement that this change is
<lesired hy said Presbytery, or a majority of its members, we cannot agree
that it is proper for the General Assembly to act in such mattei-s without
l)eing asked to do so by the Presl)ytery as such, and therefore we recom-
mend that said request be not granted. Johx Frizzell, Chairman.
REPORT NO. 2 OF COMMITTEE ON CORRESPONDENCE.
The following Report No. 2 of the Committee on Correspondence
was read and unanimously adopted :
Your Special Committee on Correspondence, to whom was referred the
address of the retiring Moderator, respectfully submit that they have had
the same under careful consideration.
That part of the address which presents the present and prospective re-
lations subsisting between the Cumberland Presbyterian Church and the
Methodist Protestant Cliurch demands your very special attention. On
page 24 of the "Journal of Proceedings of the General Convention of the
Methodist Protestant Church, held at Baltimore, May 10, 1884," we iind
the following language, it being part of the report of the Committee on
Fraternal Relations, viz.: "It should be borne in mind as an historical
fact that the General Conference of 1880, at Pittsburgh, was favored with a
fraternal visit from the Rev. Dr. Black, of the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church, who made an able and interesting address, in which he expressed
a very ardent desire for a corporate union between that denomination and
ours. The corresponding delegate, whose letter is before us, refers to the
fact that at their Assembly in 1882 a letter was received from a delegate
representing the ^Methodist Protestant Church, in which was contained a
suggestion touching the matter of organic union." On pp. 25, 26, and
being j^art of the same rejwrt, we find the following, viz.: "1. That this
Convention appoint five commissioners, w'ho shall confer with a like com-
mission of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church on the subject of organic
union, and report to the next General Conference." The report was
adopted, and the five commissioners appointed.
Now, while we are not disposed to encourage the agitation of the subject
of organic union with other bodies where there is not a reasonable prospect
of good resulting, yet we are free to say that if the union of our Church with
the Methodist Protestant Church can be effected in a way satisfactory to both
parties, it is a consummation to be devoutly prayed for. And we venture
to say that, so far as we understand the doctrine and polity of that Church,
we do not see any very formidable difficulty in the way of the accomplish-
ment of this work. If we are in harmony in doctrine and Church polity,
let us combine our forces, thereliy strengthening each other's hearts and
hands as we go forth to labor in the vineyard of our common Lord and
Master.
We submit for your adoption the following recommendation, viz. : That
you appoint a committee of five to confer with the commission appointed
by the Methodist Protestant Church on the subject of organic union, and
report to the next General Assembly.
Respectfully submitted. S. L. Russell, Chairman.
38 Minutes of General Assembly. [1885.

ganic Union with the Methodist Protestant Church : The Revs. S.

REPORT NO. 1 OF COMMITTEE ON FINANCE.
The following Report No. 1 of the Committee on Finance was
read and adopted :
Your Committee on Finance make the following report :
The Report of the General Assembly's Board of Trustees has been be-
fore us, from which it is learned that the Doherty fund is securely invested
in bonds, bearing interest which is being annually collected and paid over
to the Trustees of Cumberland University, in accordance with the design
of the bequest.
We also note with pleasure that the balance of the Woolridge bequest
has been collected, and is still in the hands of the Treasurer. We recom-
mend that, in harmony with the design of the donor, this money be
placed in the hands of the Trustees of Cumberland University for the ben-
efit of the Beard Endowment.
Your committee are gratified to announce to you the donation of $1,000,
made by Mrs. Margaret R. C. Rawlins, deceased, through her husband,
Luther Rawlins, of Christian County, Kentucky, for the benefit of the
Beard Endowment, which amount has been paid to the Trustees of Cum-
berland University, as directed.
We learn from the report of the General Assembly's Board of Trustees
of a bequest made by Mrs. Clara Donnell, deceased, of Athens, Alabama,
which is now in litigation. We recommend that the Board give it the nec-
essary attention until the case shall have been decided.
The General Assembly's Board of Trustees ask that the Treasurer of her
Board be authorized to pay any and all traveling expenses incurred by
members of said Board in the discharge of their duties as such. We
recommend that all such expenses be paid by the Treasurer when pre-
sented in an itemized account.
We have had referred to us a memorial from California Presbytery, ask-
ing that that Presbytery be released from all past chai-ges of contingent
tax, and that they be released from such tax until they shall have contin-
ued representation in this body. We recommend that the prayer of the
memorialists be granted only in so far as it relates to past indebtedness.
We recommend that the Treasurer of the General Assembly be author-
ized to pay the bill of expenses incurred by Dr. J. B. Mitchell as the bearer
of the greetings of the General Assembly to the Woman's Board of For-
eign Missions at Salem, Illinois, in 1884. J. B. Green, Chairman.
REPORT NO. 3 OF COMMITTEE ON CORRESPONDENCE.
The following Report No. 3 of the Committee on Con'espond-
cnce was amended and adopted :
1885.] Minutes of General Assembly.- 39
Your Special Committee on Correspondence, to whom was referred the
"substance" of the address deUvered by the Rev. T. J. Diemer, fraternal
delegate from the Cumberland Presbyterian Church (colored), have consid-
ered the same, and submit the following, viz. : We are very sure you can
find no more inviting field for the exercise of Christian benevolence than
is offered you among the colored people of our country. In the mind of
your committee there is no field which promises richer harvests in return
for liberal sowings than this.
Brother Diemer but voiced the feeling of the great mass of his people
when he assured you that they look to you for sympathy and help. They
cannot stand alone — not yet. Whose heart was not touched as our brother
stood before us and uttered so earnestly the Macedonian cry, " Come over
and help us? " We must not forget they are here in our midst. They are
our religious wards. God in his all-wise providence has given them to us.
We must not shirk the responsibility.
They feel that we are near them, and they confidently expect our help.
They must not be disappointed. There are many ways in which we can aid
them. There is, perhaps, no service we could render them which would
be more gratefully received, or yield better results, than furnishing them
our Church literature. We venture to suggest there might be no better
disposition made of the Confessions of Faith on hand than to give them to
our colored people. They would care nothing for the lacking Preface.
The liberality of our people should put a copy of Blake's "Theology Con-
densed" into the hands of every one of their preachers and candidates for
the ministry.
Brother Diemer requested the appointment of a committee to aid them
in carrying forward their educational enterprise at Bowling Green, Ken-
tucky. By reference to Minutes of the General Assembly of 1882, at
Huntsville, Alabama, we find that a committee, consisting of the Revs.
T. C. Blake, D. M. Harris, and J. S. Grider, was appointed for this very
purpose.
We have considered the paper referred to us in reference to the employ-
ment of the Rev. M. M. Smith to teach Theology in the school at Bowling
Green ; and while we heartily approve the proposition, we hesitate to recom-
mend any thing that might embarrass the General Assembly financially.
We suggest that this matter be left with the proper authorities, and that
you direct that collections be taken in all the congregations of the Church,
and the money received be forwarded to Mr. H. E. Jenkins, Bowling Green,
Kentucky, and applied to the use and benefit of said school.
The fraternal letter from our Evangelical Union brethren in Scotland is
hereby returned, as under the rule of the General Assembly it is the busi-
ness of the Stated Clerk of the General Assembly and his assistant to answer
all such letters. S. L. Russell, Chairman.
REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON TEMPERANCE.
The following Report of the Committee on Temperance wtis
adopted :
Your Committee on Temperance would respectfully submit the following
report :
40 Minutes of General Assembly. [1885.
The scriptural idea of temperance is embodied in these words, " But I
keep under my body and bring it into subjection." The practice of tem-
perance, therefore, consists in placing such restrictions and limitations upon
the appetites and passions as will prevent the abuse of the body as to itself
and as to its influence upon the mental, moral, and spiritual nature. There
is an intimate connection between the body and the mind or soul ; and
the one must feel the eflects of the passions, joys, and sufferings of the
other. He is a true Christian hero who, in God's grace, controls the func-
tions of the body so as to maintain it in its best phy.sical condition, and
makes it most subservient in its relations to his mental and spiritual nat-
ure. The Christian conflict is with the flesh as well as with the world and
the devil. The proper control of the body for its own sake, and for the
sake of its connection with our spiritual and mental nature, is no mere
(child's play. It requires decision, and firmness, and restraint upon the ap-
petites and passions of the body so as to secure the best conditions as to
itself and as to its relations to a spiritual and immortal nature. A maxim
among the Romans — "Mens sana in corpore sano," a sound mind in a
sound body — is as true now as it was then.
Such scriptures as " That ye present your bodies a living sacrifice ; "
" Know ye not that your bodies are members of Christ ; " " That every
one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and
honor ; " " Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit
of God dwelleth in you ? " " For I bear in my body the marks of the Lord
Jesus;" "I pray God your whole body, and soul, and spirit be preserved
blameless " — all show the importance to be attached to the proper manage-
ment of the body, its appetites and passions. Any kind of excess, there-
fore, that will injure the body is to be avoided.
There are some things, too, that relate to the body, which, while they
may not be indulged in to excess, are also forbidden in the word of God.
There is a law of Christ relating to Christian influence which interdicts
some things that are not wrong in themselves, such as : "Avoid the very
appearance of evil ; " " If meat maketh my brother to olfend, I will eat no
more meat while the world standeth." A loyal subject of Christ's king-
dom is often called upon for the sake of influence upon others to refrain
from indulgence in some things that in themselves are lawful. When we
consider that in heaven we are to be made in the likeness of the glorious
body of Christ, it is not a matter of small importance as to the manner in
which we spend our years in the earthly house of this tabernacle. Under
this law of Christian influence and example it may and does often become
necessary to refrain from either touching, tasting, or handling things that
are in themselves lawful. A small quantity of ardent spirits may have no
appreciable effect upon the individual who drinks it, and yet the example
naay be of incalculable injury to others who may be influenced by it.
In view of the great temptation to excessive use of ardent sjDirits on the
part of moderate dram-drinkers, and of the influence that even a moderate
use of it may exert upon others, and especially the young, we earnestly
urge ."total abstinence" from all intoxicating liquors upon all our people
as one of the important methods of ridding the country of the evils of in-
temperance. We would have our Church enrolled, as in the past, among
1885.] Minutes of General Assembly. 41
the temperance Churches of the land, and to do this our people must
l)ractice temperance.
Your committee desire further to say that the manufacture or sale of
ardent spirits as a beverage is inconsistent with Christian character and the
high relation of Church-membership. Your committee learn from a circu-
lar referred to them by this General Assembly that the " National Temper-
ance Society and Publication House " has issued a call for a " Centennial
Temperance Conference " on the 23d and 24th of September, 1885, in the
city of Philadelphia, and that all ministers are requested to preach a ser-
mon on temperance reform on September 20. We recommend that all our
ministers be requested to preach a sermon on temperance, and that the
Revs. E. K. Squier, A. W. White, J. Reed Morris, A. B. Miller, and any
others, not to exceed seven persons, be authorized to attend said Conference
as representatives of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
Respectfully submitted. J. M. Halsell, Chairman.
THE HISTORY OF THE CHURCH ON TEMPERANCE.
The motion that the Eev. J. Eeed Morris be requested to pre-
pare a brief history of the status of the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church on the subject of temperance, for the Centennial Temper-
ance Conference, at Philadelphia, was carried.
CHAIRMAN OF COMMITTEE ON THE JUDICIARY.
The following resolutions by the Committee on the Judiciarj-
were adopted, and Euling Elder John Frizzell, of Nashville,
Tenn., was appointed on the committee provided for therein :
Resolved, That a Standing Committee on Judiciary be and the same is
hereby created, to be composed of one person learned in the Rules, the
Con.stitution, and Government of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
Resolved, That the duty of this committee shall be to receive and answer
all questions of a judicial character arising in the interim between the ses-
sions of the General Assembly.
Resolved, That said committee make its reports of all questions deter-
mined by it, and that no determination by said committee shall be binding
upon the General Assembly as precedents until they shall have been so re-
])orted and ajjproved by the General Assembly.
Resolved, That the General Assembly, through its Moderator, appoint the
committee, and that the committee serve until the next succeeding General
Assembly, and until his successor be appointed.
Respectfully submitted. Andrew B. Martin, Chairman.
PAN-PRESBYTERIAN ALLIANCE.
The following report was read and adopted :
Your committee has fully considered the report of your delegates to the
Pan-Presbyterian Council, also the official communication from the Clerk
of the Council, and unanimously recommend that you adopt the following
preamble and resolutions :
42 Minutes of General Assembly. [1885.
Where.\s, The Council was neither asked nor expected to express ap-
proval of our Confession of Faith, but to decide whether it is in harmony
with the Consensus of the Reformed Churches ; and,
Where.\s, The Council decided to admit the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church to membership in the Alliance, and our delegates to seats in the
Council, thereby placing the Alliance upon a basis not inconsistent with
our creed ; therefore,
Resolved, That this new evidence of a growing catholicity among the
members of the great Presbyterian family is hailed with pleasure by this
General Assembly representing the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
Resolved, That we, as a denomination of Christians, continue to frater-
nize cordially with the liberal and progressive Churches composing the
Alliance, endeavoring, in the true spirit of unity, with them to promote
the gospel's advancement throughout the world.
In response to the notice of the Executive Commission regarding the
apportionment made upon the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, your
committee recommend that the General Assembly agree to meet its obli-
gations in this regard. Not fully understanding the basis on which the as-
sessment has been made, and learning that a portion of said apportionment
is for the purpose of liquidating indebtedness incurred before the Cumber-
land Presbyterian Church became a member of the Alliance, it is recom-
mended that the adju.stment of this matter be left to the Executive Com-
mission representing the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, and to the
Moderator and Stated Clerk of the General Assembly, and when an agree-
ment with the Commission has been effected, that the Treasurer of the
General Assembly pay the amount that may be due.
It is recommended that the money reported by A. C. Stewart and W.
H. Black as in their hands be placed in the treasury for this. purpose, and
that the thanks of the Assembly be tendered to those who contributed it.
C. H. Bell, Chairman.

APPENDIX.
APPENDIX.
I.-MISSIONS.
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF MISSIONS OF THE CUM-
BERLAND PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
To the General Assembly at Bentonville, Ark., May 21, 1885 :
Gratefully recogmzing the hand of the Lord in the measure of success
in Missions, your Board presents the report of the work under its care for
the year ending with April 30, 1885. The Annual Statement of our Mission
in Japan, dated December 31, 18S4, herewith submitted and made a part of
this report, affords gratifying information regarding the progress made, to-
gether with the present and prospective demands of the work. Every aj)-
preciating heart will ascribe thanksgiving to God for inducing our Churcli
to bestow labor in a field so inviting, and for so greatly blessing the services
of our devoted missionaries.
Your Board has commissioned another foreign missionary, Miss Bettie
A. Duffield, of Warrensburg, Mo., chosen and recommended by the Wom-
an's Board; she sailed on the 4th of April. The Annual Report of the
AVoman's Board of Foreign Missions, to be duly submitted, and which will
give evidence of the zeal and fidelity of the women of the Church in their
chosen branch of mission-work, is commended to your favorable considera-
tion.
Resi)onses to the repeated calls for two male missionaries to re-enforce
the Japan Mission are still anxiously awaited.
During the past year your Board has been in correspondence with several
parties who are impressed to enter the foreign field, but for good and suffi-
cient reasons (not, however, of a financial nature) no appointments have
l)een made. The anxiety of our foreign missionaries for re-enforcements to
be sent is not greater than the desire of your Board to send them. As soon
as the proper parties can be found, they will be sent with as much expedi-
tion as the nature of the case will admit. Several persons now have this
work on their hearts— what the result may be only God can foresee. At
any rate, there is reason for all to join in prayer that God would call from
among us laborers for this portion of his vineyard.
The Board has lately resolved to more thoroughly investigate Mexico as
a mission-field, with the view of selecting one or more missionaries and a
place for work, as the Lord may open the way, and induce Christian work-
ers to devote their labors there.
Missions in the Indian Territory.
Six missionaries, bearing commissions from your Board, are earnestly at
work at different points in the Chickasaw, Choctaw, and Cherokee Nations,
two of whom receive no salary from the Board ; four of them derive a part
of their support from its treasury.
In addition to the missionaries, nine native ministers are devotedly en-
gaged in preaching the gospel to their own people. There are in the Terri-
4
50 Missions. [1885.
tory two Presbyteries, fifteen ordained preachers, seven licentiates, nine
candidates, thirty-seven congregations, corauiunicants.
Our missionaries in tlie Cherokee Nation, assisted by the natives, are en-
deavoring firmly to establish Christian schools as auxiliaries in the work of
evangelization.
The independence of feeling prompting our Indian brethren to »elf-su])-
port as far as possible, and their disposition, as shown by their congrega-
tional offerings, to co-operate with the general Church in Foreign Missions,
should not only excite admiration, but the more readily call forth from lis
the assistance needed in strengthening and enlarging the work in portions*
of the country occupied by these civilized tribes, and in extending the gos-
pel of salvation and its civilizing influences throughout the Territories be-
yond, where there is as little knowledge of Christ as in Japan. If Ameri-
cans do not give the gospel to the people of their own Territories, who will
do it?
CtTY WOKK.
Of the City Missions under the care of the Board, the following, namely.
Birmingham, Ala. ; First (ierman, St. Louis, Mo. ; Knoxville, Tenn. ;
Logansport, Ind.; Meridian, Miss.; Pueblo, Col.; San Antonio, Texas;
Sedalia, Mo. ; and >St. Joseph, Mo., own valuable property, including build-
ings in which worship is regularly conducted.
With the exception of Meridian Mission, supplied at present by a resident
minister, who will serve until a missionary can be secured, the pulpits are
all filled by missionaries under appointment of the Board.
Our faithful German Church, although it has not for several j'ears re-
ceived any financial aid from the Board, is continued as a mission, and is
deservedly cherished, especially on account of the work accomplished and
to be done among our German population.
Knoxville Mission is the only one embarrassed with debt. Its numerous
friends and supporters in East Tennessee Synod will, it is believed, prove
themselves equal to the task of removing the encumbrance. The building
compares favorably with other church-edifices in the city, and its value is
far in excess of the indebtedness.
Three of the above-named missions — Binningham, Logansport, and Se-
dalia — expect to become self-sustaining within a year.
A new and elegant building is in process of erection at Sedalia, the old
church-structure being inadequate to the necessities of the growing con-
gi'egation.
Each of the missions, Connellsville, Pa., Emporia, Kan., Fort Smith, Ark.,
and Tyler, Tex., possesses some property interest.
A suitable man is in demand for the work at Emporia. ConnellsA'ille
and Fort Smith are supplied with missionaries. The mission at Tyler is
temjiorarily in charge of a Ijrother who generously serves as financial
agent, without expense to the cause, except for railroad fare.
At the suggestion of brethren directly interested in the upbtiilding of a
church at Decatur, 111., the commencement of active operations has been de-
ferred until the present time. A missionary has just been appointed, under
instructions, as in every city mission not supplied with a church-house, U*
l)roceed first to gather funds for the erection of a building preparatory to
regular preaching services. .
Abilene, Tex., has been recently adopted as a mission-station, and ar-
rangements have been made to place a missionary in charge at an early
date.
Plans have been prepared and specifications made for a church-house in
the city of Ixmisville, Ky. The building committee now awaits the receipt
(ti more funds, so that there shall be a sufficiency on hand to cover not
only the cost of the brick- work, but also that of the roof, whereupon con-
tracts therefor will be made. The financial agent who has been serving in
that work having withdrawn from the field, the chairman of the building
committee will collect the unpai<l subscriptions and solicit new offerings.
He will for a time direct his whole attention to the work, with the hope of
1885.]

being speedily prepared to let out contracts for the construction, during the
current building season, of a church-house for Cumberland Presbyterians
in that city.
While this branch of the home work promises great results in strength-
ening the stakes of the denomination, the immense mission-fields in the
West must be cultivated. Witliout any standard by which the relative
importance of AVestern and of city missions in the older iStates can be de-
termined, it seems well to advocate and otherwise promote the interest of
each with e(iual earnestness.
It is the opinion of the Board that the congregations of the Presbyteries
and Synods in which the respective city missions in the older States are
located should furnish to the Board all the funds needed for the support
of such missions, so that all other home missionary contributions may be
employed in Church-extension in new fields in the West and in the Indian
Territory. Tlie Board will hereafter insist upon this ruling, and enforce it
as far as practicable, in order that a more liberal share of its income may
be used on our Western borders and on the Pacific Coast. It is the pur-
pose of the Board, if the needed funds are forthcoming, to spend at least
two thousand dollars on the Pacific Coast, and to make an aggressive move-
ment in the nearer AVest — to appoint many men and expend thousands of
dollars in Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, and other States and Terri-
tories which are calling imperatively for aid. Your Board relies confi-
dently upon the Church for co-operation in this work and to supply the
needed funds.
In closing this review of our Missions, your Board heartily commends all
of the missionaries abroad and in the home land, and expresses gratitude
to God for signal blessings on their labors.
Corresponding Members ok the Board and Presbvterial Mission
Secretaries.
"With the view of still further developing the Church's power in Mis-
sions, the Board, according to a jirovision of its charter, has chosen twenty-
four corresponding members, one in each Synod. It has been the aim to
select missionary men, who, for love of Christ and his cause, will study
tlie jjroblem of Missions, correspond with the Board and witii Presbyterial
Secretaries, inform themselves in regard to inviting mission-points, and
represent the Board and advocate the claims of INIissions, foreign and
home, in Synodical meetings and in Sunday-school and missionary con-
ventions.
The corresponding members and the Presbyterial Mission Secretaries,
some of whom have rendered valuable service during the last two years,
can be instrumental in arousing the spirit of INIissions, and in prompting the
Church to open its hand wider and t(j dispense richer blessings. It will be
a labor of love without any financial recompense, except as to expense of
postage.
Missionary Record.
There has been an increase of one hundred dollars in the receipts of the
Missionary Record, indicating a corresponding increase in the circulation.
The patronage is far below what it should be — far below what might be
considered a reasonable expectation on the part of the Board. The Board
relies confidently u))()n the indorsement and recommendation of the Gen-
eral Assembly to aid in increasing the patronage of this important auxili-
ary to our work.
The attention of the Board has been called to the (tiscrepancy between
the amount of money reported several years ago by the old Board of Mis-
sions as having been contributed to the Church at AVaco, Tex., and the
amount stated by the Trustees as having been received. The General As-
sembly of 1880 declared that there was no evidence of said Trustees having
received more of the money mentioned than $327.50, reported by them as
52 Missions. [1885.
coming into their liands. After careful investigation, it is the opinion of
this Board that no more was received, and that the error arose from the
Corresponding Secretary considering the amount reported by the financial
agent of that work as cash, whereas it was chiefly in subscriptions, a large
portion of which was never paid. This statement is made with great pleas-
ure in vindication of the Trustees.
Estimates for the Coming Year.
Japan Mission, including needed re-enforcements $14,095 00
Proposed Mexican Mission 2,000 00
Home Missions 25,000 00
Church-erection 50,000 00
. Total 191,095 00
Suggestions.
1. That you consider the expediency of appointing some one whose duty
it shall be to make an address on Missions some time during the sitting of
the General Assembly of 1886. The educative value of such an address by
one of your own body will be very great.
2. That some one be selected whose duty it shall be to act as Chairman
of the Committee on Missions at the next General Assembly.
3. That in view of the present imperative need of a Church-erection
Fund, you appoint the first Sabbath in October as a day whereon all minis-
ters in charge of congregations shall preach on the subject and collect offer-
ings in behalf of this interest ; and that in case any congregations do not
have services on that day, then such recommendation be observed at their
first service thereafter; that you authorize your Board of Missions to ap-
point an agent, whose duty it shall be to gather oflferings for this purpose
from the moneyed members of the Church, in order that 150,000 may be
secured for Church-erection during the coming year.
4. That a day for concert of prayer for Home Missions and another for
Foreign Missions be designated.
All of which, with the Financial Exhibit by the Corresponding Secretary,
the Annual Report of the Permanent Committee of Missions of Pacific
Synod, together with the Annual Statement of the Japan Mission, is re-
spectfully submitted by
The Board of Missions of the C. P. Church.

J. L. Secor,
Corresponding Secretary Board of Missions.
Japan Mission.
To the Board of Missions of the Ciuubcrland Presbyterian Church, U. S. A. :
The following report of our Mission covers the labors of the year ending
Dec. 31, 1884. It is with profound gratitude to God that we submit to you
this summary of our work for the past twelve months, and from a sense of
responsibility to him that we record the needs of the Mission and of the
work for the ensuing year. What we suggest as to the necessities of the
work are such things as are forced upon us by the gracious movements of
Providence in continuing to open before us fields of labor and doors of
usefulness. Acting in a sense as eyes for the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church in America, therefore, we call your attention to the extent of the
work which we see the Divine hand leading her to undertake; and as ears
for the same, can only record the repeated calls of God which we hear, to
incite her to devise greater things for him.
From the human side, our first great want is the earnest prayers of the
Church that a spirit of greater consecration may possess us as missionaries.
The work is great and the workers weak, and all the more is the need of
the gift of the Holy Sjjirit that our hearts may be fervent and our labors
76 Missions. [1885.
fruitful. The Avork before us demands such wisdom as the Holy Spirit
alone can bestoM'. It is a foundation-laying period, and, if possible, one of
the most important stages of the spiritual temple gradually to arise. Fray,
therefore, that no hay, nor wood, nor stubble, but only those precious
qualities that endure, may enter into it. We ask that supplications be made
for the speedy conversion of the land ; for the continued outpouring of
God's Spirit xipon the native brethren and their co-lal)orers ; for a more
complete opening of the country for missionary labors, and a spirit of wis-
dom, charity, and zeal to rest upon all the agencies at work here. Nor can
we fail to ask for a continuance of your intercessions in the line of Christ's
commission to the Church of all ages. Pray ye, therefore, the Lord of the
harvest that he Avould send forth laborers into his harvest.
This leads us again to call the attention of the Church to the great need of
additional missionaries. It is to be feared that there are those who will not
give due thought and prayer to this matter under the influence of the feel-
ing that foreign missionaries, seeing the great destitution around them, are
apt to forget tho.se portions of the work which they do not see, and so un-
duly magnify their own wants. This can hardly be possible when it is
considered, (1) That there is undoubtedly a deep conviction upon the
part of the majority of our denomination that we are not, as a body of
professed Christians, doing a tithe of what we could and ought to do in
this behalf. (2) It is impossible to draw the picture of this portion of the
unsaved world in darker colors than has been done by the inspired apostle
to the Gentiles. (3) Nor must it be forgotten that the Saviour had in
full view the weakness of the Church, the needs of the home-fields, and
all other peculiarities of condition, when he gave the command. Go ye
into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. On the other
hand, is there not immense danger threatening the very spiritual life of the
Church itself, growing out of its complete absorption in the work of self-
enlargement at home? Just as the noise of the busy hammers of the
workmen erecting a large mansion for a millionaire may deaden the sound
of the alarm-cannon of a vessel sinking at sea, so may an undue zeal of the
Church in denominational aggrandizement stop the ears that should hear
the alarm sounded by Divine Providence in behalf of a perishing heathen
world. The need is urgent and immediate, growing out of several consider-
ations: (1) The attitude of the country toward Christianity is undergoing a
change favorable to its propagation. Men of prominence begin to feel, as
perhaps never before, that it is a religion whose benefits the country greatly
needs. People are to ILsten to the gospel, and the Japanese Christians
themselves continue to be in a revived state and ready to accept great re-
sponsibilities in the work of evangelization. (2) God has so blessed our
work and enlarged it that the strength of the present force is taxed to the
utmost, while there are important features of the work which have to go
entirely neglected. Such is the condition of things that we really ought to
have two .stations in order to keep pace with the various developments of
the work. There are constant calls from larger interior towns most ur-
gently pleading for missionaries to locate in their midst to teach them the
gospel. P>ut while we ought, and could, if willing as a Church, have two
.stations, so much more is it imperatively necessary to strengthen the only
station we have. (3) There are en(;ouraging prospects also, either of such
treaty revisions as will throw the whole country open to foreign residence,
or at least to increase travel throughout the land. In such a case our oppor-
tunities would be very greatly increased. Add to this again the fact that
tho.se coming to the field now would be at least three or four years engaged
in indispensable preparatory study of the people and language befoi-e they
could even favorably begin their labors, and it will be easy to understand
that every thing cons|)ires to point to the present time as one of great mo-
ment in the matter of re-enforcing us. So far as Japan is concerned, the
present hour has gold in its mouth, and the opening unimi)roved may lose
a treasure of opportunity.
It has been something over three years since our first lady missionaries
were sent out under the auspices of our Woman's Board. This time has
1885.]
Missions. 77
been expended in the study of the language. With the expiration of this
apprenticeship, they have begun their more immediate missionary labors.
Miss Orr is giving herself to the work amongst the women at the out-sta-
tion, the province Kii-shiu, while Miss Leavitt gives herself to a similar
work in O.saka. Mrs. Drennan has l)een devoting her time and energies to
the Girls' School and English teaching in general. The latter has also
given much attention to work among.st a class of young men, medical stu-
dents and others, of whom there are many in the city, eager to study for-
eign languages and make advancement in intellectual life. Good results
have come from this work. The married ladies still maintain their usual
meetings, which demand an increasing care as the number in attendance
increases.
The Girls' School began its work the 8th of January, in the property pur-
chased on the Foreign Concession. In the report submitted to you last year
it was stated : ''According to the last Annual Report, it was stated to be the
Mission's desire that the Girls' School should Ije located in the southern
part of the city of Osaka. It was thought that by such a policy the Japanese
brethren would thus be led to feel more their responsil)ility for its success.
The decision of its location being left to them, after duly considering the
subject, they felt that the difficulties in the way of putting it in the city
were greater than could be overcome at present." In accordance with
this decision, the school was opened upon the Concession. As the Mission
were considering the matter later in the year of erecting dormitories and
scliool-rooms, some of the difticulties which had previously influenced the
V)rethren in coming to their first decision seemed to them to be removable.
As the erection of permanent buildings might entail a loss of money in
case of removal afterward, or else render it altogether impossil)le, the
brethren felt that if any thing was done by them it should be done imme-
diately. The following is the statement submitted to, and the agreement
sanctioned by, them, on the basis of which steps were taken looking to the
transference of the school to the care of the native Church and its location
in the city :
"The object of the Woman's Board of Missions of the Cumberland Pres-
byterian Church is to co-operate with the native Church of Japan in build-
ing up an enlightened Christianity. For this end they have sent out lady
missionaries. As female education is one of the most important means
thereto, they have sent some of these missionaries to be Christian edu-
cators, and have also made a contribution of money (1) to build them a
home; (2) to aid them in school-work. One year ago you (the native
Church) requested the Mission to locate the school for the time being upon
the Foreign Concession. If the school remains as located, it will be the
object of the Mission to work it in the interest of our Church in Japan,
and a committee of the Church for advice and co-operation is respectfully
requested to be appointed by you.
'• If the school is removed, "then (1) the Churches of Kii-shiu must first
be consulted, as well as that of Osaka. (2) The school, if located at Gsaka,
and by foreign funds, will l)e upon the conditions: [a] That the money
shall be a loan to the native Church on long time without interest; (b)
that the loan may be paid back in monthly, quarterly, or annual install-
ments, as the Church may elect; (c) that the difference in land-rent be-
tween the Foreign Concession and the city may be credited to the account
of the native Church annually as part payment; [d) the missionaries en-
gaged in the school-work shall own their own houses; [c) the agents of the
Cumberland rresbyterian Church shall own the dormitory and .school-
buildings until paid for; (/) the tuition and room-rent shall go to defray
the running expenses of the school; (g) the Mission will not pay the salary
of an English-speaking Japanese teacher, except as .such a teacher shall be
an interpreter for a missionary who does not understand the language;
(/() after the first year the Mission will decrease its appli<ation for aid to
meet running expenses one-fifth jier annum; (i) the ^lission will not be
responsible for any payments of money from missionary funds without
their consent previously obtained; (j) the money advanced as a loan must
78 Missions. [1885.
be paid back within ten j-ears ; (k) the Mission will be responsible for no
payments of money not herein provided for."
In accordance with this agreement, the native Church elected two trus-
tees, and proceeded to select a location for the school. A very desirable
lot was found in the south-eastern portion of the city, and $960 paid for it
out of the funds left over from the purchase of the property now owned
upon the Concession. If the Government grants the Church permission
to establish the school in the city, and to employ a foreign teacher or teach-
ers to live there, then it is proposed to sell all, or a necessarj' portion, of
the Concession property, and out of the proceeds build the needed build-
ings in the city. The purchase of the lot in the city before receiving a per-
mit for the school to be located there, grew out of the necessity of having
a definite localit}^ fixed upon in making an application to the Government,
and also to prevent any combinations to run up the price of desirable prop-
ertj- in ca.se the jjcrmit might be granted. Of course there are some risks
to be run in this matter. The Government may not be willing to approve
the president of the school, and thus delay be rendered necessary in the
.selection of a new one, or may not be willing to grant the permit at all.
There will be more danger to the buildings from fire than there would be
upon the Foreign Concession. There may be a long time required in order
to obtain the necessary permission for the foreign teachers to live in the
city, even after every thing has been approved. Until the property is paid
for, the ownership of it by the Mission will be only moral, and not legal.
The desirability, however, in the estimation of the Mission, of throwing as
far as possible the responsibility of the school upon the native Church,
and of making it really theirs, is so great as to fully justify all the possible
risks involved. In the meanwhile, the school continues to go on as begun,
and will not be suspended a day, even because of any want of certainty as
to its ultimate permanent location. Appropriations for the school-year,
beginning September, 1885, will be needed for the employment of Japanese
teachers, purchase of school-apparatus, including an outfit for teaching Kin-
dergarten methods, house repairs, and a contingent fund.
In regard to other school-work, there is but little to report. The one in
charge of the Girls' School has met a class of young men daily in English
and biblical studies, and has also maintained a weekly meeting for instruc-
tion in moral and scientific subjects. With the exception of several young
men who are pursuing theological studies under our immediate supervis-
ion, our other young men are being educated in the American Board School
at Kioto. Such good results have followed from what little has been at-
tempted, as mentioned above, to justify us in feeling that there is a vast
field of usefulness open to some who are willing to consecrate their time
and energies to a work second to non^ in importance — that is, the work of
Christian education among young men. The kind of educator needed to
inaugurate such a work should be one who has graduated from some
American college and a thorough-going Christian, who has some ability for
acquiring language, and who is willing to spend several years patiently in
the study of this language and people preliminary to his work. If he is
one who is willing to spend his life in a \\ork Avhich will be heartily appre-
ciated by Christ alone, and address himself to it because of love for Christ
and his work as the Saviour's work, there is a field of vast importance be-
fore him.
During the year religious book-depositories have been established in
several new centers. Those in charge of them have been selected by the
resident believers of their respective places. They receive no salary, save
a percentage from the sale of books. They combine this work with that
of direct evangelization, and have proved themselves to be men in whom
the brethren can repose confidence, and whose labors have been blessed of
the Lord. Through the generosity of a Christian woman in Missouri, sev-
eral thousand copies of different portions of the Scriptures have been given
away judiciously through the same agencies. Much is due to the efficient
co-operation of the Agent of the American Bible Society, Rev. H. Loomis,
in the matter of the sale of Scriptures in our fields of labor. In some in-
1885.] Missions. 79
stances men have presented themselves for baptism whose only instruc-
tion has been that gleaned by a study of the word.
The new publications of the Mission are the Directory of Worship of the
Cumberland Presbyterian Church, a Hand-book of Systematic Theology,
and a useful little calendar for Christian households. The latter is the
work of one of the missionaries of the Woman's Board. Ten thousand
copies of a tract, prepared by a member of the Mission, have been printed
and circulated by the American Tract Society. There is still a vast field
to be occupied in the direction of Christian literature, and upon us as a
Church will fall something of the responsibility for its preparation. So far
as any of our Avorks are peculiarly denominational, they will, very prop-
erly, have to be made at our own expense. There are other agencies, how-
ever, that are doing a good work in giving the country an undenomina-
tional Christian literature.
The year just closed has shown a continued progress in the growth of
Christ's kingdom here. The impetus given to the work by the outpouring
of God's Spirit during the w'eek of prayer last year seems not only not to
have waned, but steadily to have widened its beneficial results. Obstacles
seem to have been more and more removed, and more powerful influences
set to work to encompass the success of the gospel under the guidance of
Divine Providence. The standing of all religions in the eye of the Gov-
ernment more nearly approaches tliat of religious toleration.
There seems to be foundation for the opinion that some of the leaders of
Japanese thought and of influence in Japanese politics are not averse to
the Christianization of their country. One of the Emperor's Privy Coun-
cil has petitioned the Government to employ Christian teachers to give in-
struction in Christian morals in all the schools, from the university down
to the primary. Another prominent man, as the results of his investiga-
tions abroad, has memorialized the Emperor in behalf of the introduction
of Christianity. There are some occurrences also which are significant of
Japan's position in the Orient, and as forecasting what may become very
common if these islands should become converted to Christ. The teacher
of the Chinese language and literature in the Imperial University, Tokio,
is an earnest Christian, having been one of the pupils of Dr. Martin, of
Peking, and by him led to Christ. At Yokohama a Chinese Mission and
Sabbath-school have been established with encouraging results. The
"Hermit Nation" (Corea), so recently opened for commerce to the West-
ern Powers through the successful negotiations of Commodore Shufeldt, is
looking upon the movements in Japan with profound interest. A few days
ago that Government sent one of its learned men (its historian) to this
land in order to investigate its condition since the introduction of Western
arts and sciences. This man, Rijutei, became a Christian, and is now em-
ployed by the American Bible Society in translating the gospel into his native
language. The account of his conversion and work, as given by the agent
of tbat society, is full of interest. AVhile investigating the subject of Chris-
tianity he dreamed that two men appeared who oflered him books, and he
was told that these were the most useful of all things for his people. When
it was asked, " What books are they?" it was replied, "These are Bibles."
So deeply impressed was the man by his dream, and also by the truths he
heard, that he soon became a Christian, and from that time has been ear-
nestly at work for the salvation of his people. His growth in grace and
knowledge of God's word has been marked and rapid. Through his labors
several other Coreans have become Christians. Some of these are students
in some of the Tokio Mission Schools preparatory to work amongst their
own people. A number of other prominent Coreans, in this country for
temporary residence, have applied to him to be taught the doctrines of
Christ. Certainly in all this there is such a prophecy of what might be in
regard to the evangelization of other Ea.stern nations by the help of a
Christian Japan, as to stimulate the Church in Christian lands to devise
more liberal things for the speedy conversion of her people. "And the
Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.
Lift up thine eyes round about and see: all they gather themselves to-
80 Missions. [1885.
gether, they come to thee : thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters
.shall be nursed at thy side." With proj^hecy thus being so manifestly ful-
tilled l.)y the blessings of the great Head of the Church upon INIission-work
in the.se "ends of the earth," the time has surely gone by when it is nec-
essary to make any other ap]ieals to Christians to vindicate the clahns of
Foreign Missions to a prominent place in their i^rayers and alms.
In the early part of October the brethren of the various Churches, of
which there are now three formally organized, sent I'epresentatives to meet
with the Osaka Church, and take steps for a better organization. They were
in ses.sion about one week, and con.sidered such topics as Form of Govern-
ment, Confession of Faith, Missions, and Educational Work. The mis-
sionaries were called on occasionally for advice, but sustained to them no
other than an advisory relation.
They organized themselves into a temporary body, to meet semi-annu-
ally. As tliey have yet no ordained pastors, they arranged to have a repre-
.sentation from the elders and brethren of the various Churches until such
time as they can be supplied with pastors sufficient in number for a regu-
larly organized Presbytery. They arranged for the maintenance of their
own evangelists with an earnestness and consecration that makes the out-
look encouraging. They also planned to pay at least one-third of the
means necessary to educate their young men for the ministry in those
cases where it may be necessary to give assistance. They canvassed meas-
ures for as,sisting in defraying the expenses of the Girls' School, and look-
ing forward to the time when the burden of all its exjDenses would be borne
])}■ themselves. - There were some heated discussions, but the result of their
deliberations was harmonious.
Two churches have been built during the past year — the first one at
Shingu, the extremest point in the province of Kii-shin. It was under-
taken when the number of baptized believers there was only four, and
none of them "well-to-do" in this world's goods. Yet God, who always
honors faith in him, blessed them with hearts to expect great things from
him and to undertake great things for him. The people of the village came
generously to their aid, and a handsome little church was built and dedi-
ttated. The other house was built by the Church in Osaka, and dedicated
last October. It is a very beautiful little chapel, and adapted to the pres-
ent Avants of the Church. W^hile other places have not built churches,
yet they have all taken upon themselves the support of their own places of
worship.
The moneys raised and expended by the native Church during the
Ijeriod covered by this report aggregates the sum of seven hundred and
forty-six dollars and nineteen cents, viz. :
Osaka church-building $300 00
Shingu church 322 00
Educational 11 61
Missions 52 58
Total $740 19
This averages about six dollars per member. There are other expendi-
tures, such as for burials, union meetings, and care of the poor, not enu-
merated in the above amount.
Last year we reported but one organized Church — that is, having dea-
cons and elders. This was located in Osaka, the Ijaptized believers in Kii-
shiu Ijeing attached to it. iSince that time, however, tlie Christians in
.*>hingu, about one hundred and ninety miles away, and those in Hikata,
about sixty miles distant, have elected elders and deacons, Avho have been
ordained accordingly. These Churches, having no pastors, have had to
resort to tlie method of selecting elders who i)ossess some ability for public
si)eaking and jjastoral oversight. This must answer until pastors can be
raise<l up and trained for their work. Seventy-tliree persons by baptism
and four by letter have been received into membership since our last re-
])ort. This brings the present membership up to one hundred and twenty-

four. While the greater number of these are permanently located in dif-
ferent centers, yet here and there some of them are separated at a distance
from their Churclies. In nearly every such instau(;e such persons prove to
be the "seed of the Church" in the community where they reside. Three
or four of our young men are now in America. Several of them are in San
Francisco, where, for want of a Cumlx'rland Presbyterian Church, they
must necessarily be looked after by other Churches. One is in Lebanon,
Tenn. But for all these we bespeak the sympathy and, where i)ossible, the
Christian fellowship of our brethren.
Prayer-meetings are maintained in some six different centers. There are
also Sabbath-schools, with an average attendance of one hundred and
twenty.
The Church takes very aggressive ground in regard to the use of wine
and tobacco. While it has made no formal utterances upon these subjects,
yet the u.se of such things Ijy non-Christians has such associations that per-
sons coming into the Churcli naturally feel that such habits should be re-
nounced as being inconsistent with Christian character. (As missionaries,
we have not been very solicitous to correct such an impression.)
Of course there is "shade" as well as "light" in the picture. There are
difficulties in the work growing out of imperfectly sanctified character,
but onl)' such as is common to all Christian work of a like nature. AVe
commend our cause again to your sympathy and prayers, hoping that the
coming year will .see our ]\Ii.ssion re-enforced and God's Spirit poured out
more abundantly than ever. Respectfully, A. D. Hail,
Cor. .Sec'y Japan Mission C. P. Church.
Report of Permanent Committee on Mi.ssions of Pacific Synod.
To the Board of Missions of the Ciuuherland Presbyterian Church, St. Louis, Mo. :
Fathers and Brethren: — In attempting to report to you our work in
California for the year ending May 1, A.D. 1S85, but few words need be
written. We have no important advance to rei:)ort, while the receipts for
the year are considerably below our expectations, and slightly below our
expenditures. AVe have been able, however, to aid in a small measure our
struggling little Church at Visalia, and, thus encouraged, they have made
a noble record. Their new house of worship has been projected, com-
pleted, and dedicated free of debt, since our last report. The outlook in
that important center is now more hopeful than at any time since the
burning of their beautiful house of worship several years ago. But they
will still need help for a time.
An appropriation of twenty dollars per month is still made to the San
Jose Church, but we are hoping soon to report this aid unnecessary.
AVe had hoped at this time to rej^ort a definite beginning of our work in
Oakland, but in this our hope is again deferred. Our Suisun property has
not yet been sold, and, failing in this, and in our hope that your Board
would be able to aid us in commencing so important an enterprise, we have
been compelled to wait. The small amount of money we have in hand is
not available for the general purposes of our work, as the greater part of it
belongs to our S])ecial Chinese Mission Fund. We had also hoped to raise
at least one thousand dollars within the present Synodical year for the be-
ginning of the work in Oakland. But the present indications do not en-
courage this hojie, though some of our Churches have done nobly in this
direction. In addition to all that we can hope to raise in our own State, we
shall need at least two thousand dollars the current year, in order to begin
our work in Oakland and maintain a general missionary, which is a very
pre.ssing need with us now. AVitii an ap])ropriation by your Board of two
thousand dollars, to be paid quarterly, payment to begin as soon as a suit-
able leader could be secured for the work, the Oakland enterprise could be
auspiciously begun. The time was when such an enterprise would have
cost less. The time is not di.stant when it will cost more than at the i)res-
ent. But it is needless to dwell on the value of such an enterprise to our
whole work on the Coast. This is obvious. And Oakland is only one of many

important and growing centers wliioh we ought to occupy at once. There
is a very great need oi organizing and evangelistic work in Southern CaUfor-
nia. But whoever does sucli work must be sustained, in part at least, from
without.
Firmly l)elieving that you will do all for this great field that God through
his servants in the Church will enable you to do, we commit it all to him,
while we shall continue to labor and wait. The Treasurer's statement is
appended. Cordially yours, D. E. Bushnell,
Cliaimian Permanent Coniiuittee Pacific Synod.

Constitution of the Board.
At our last meeting of the Board (April 11th), it w-as voted that it had
become necessary to revise the Constitution of the Board, so as to provide

Missions of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
Art. II. The object of this Board shall be to promote an interest among
the Christian women of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in behalf
of Foreign Missions and American Indians, and to work in co-operation

with the General Assembly's Board of Missions in sending the gospel to
the heathen — especially to heathen women and children.
Art. III. The Board shall consist of seven members, four of whom shall
constitute a quorum. They shall elect their own officers, and employ such
assistants as the necessities of the work may demand.
Art. IV. They shall have power to appoint a Vice-president for each
Synod, whose duty it shall be to hold annually a meeting in connection with
Synods; a Board of Managers, who shall devise and use means for extend-
ing missionary influence in the Church ; also to seek and recommend to
the Board suitable women for missionaries; an Auditor, who shall exam-
ine thoroughly all books and papers of the Treasurer, and furnish a certifi-
cate of the result of the same to the Board.
Art. V. The meetings of the Board shall be held monthly, or oftener,
at the call of the President. There shall be an annual meeting, at which
each Auxiliary Society shall be entitled to two delegates. At each annual
meeting an address by the President, reports from the Corresponding Sec-
retary and Treasurer, shall be presented, members of the Board elected,
and other business transacted.
Art. VI. Any number of women contributing $1 annually may form a
society auxiliary to the Board.
Art. VII. The Board shall have power to make all necessary by-laws
and fill vacancies occurring during the year.
Art. VIII. The payment of $30 will constitute a life-membership of this
Board, providing this sum exceed the regular dues of any Auxiliary Society.

II.-PUBLICATION.
REPORT OF THP: BOARD OF PUBLICATION.
To the General Assembly of the Cumberlaiul Presbyterian Church :
Revehexd and Dear Bkethhen:— The assembling of your reverend body
calls us before you with another Annual Report. The time since we last
responded to such a summons seems so short that we are sensibly admon-
ished of the rapid flight of the years. Without vain regrets for the past, or
rash promises for the future, we all have cause to fear that, before we are
aware of it, our lives will have passed aw'ay, leaving but partly done the
work we are all the while intending to accomplish. With us the year's
work, whatever its results, has not been more free from difficulty and care
than former ones. In this report we can allude only to some of its leading
features.
Members of the Board.
Since our last report the Rev. R. M. Tinnon has removed fi-om Nashville,
Tenn., to Fort Worth, Texas. His great distance from our place of meet-
ing made it necessary for him to resign his position as member and Secre-
tary of our Board. His good judgment, industry, and eminent Christian
character made him one of our most valualde members. He performed
much unrequited labor for the Church, and deserves from it a Uirge meas-
ure of gratitude. It was with sincere regret that we accepted his resigna-
tion. His place was filled by the election of the Rev. J. P. Sprowls, D.D.,
of Nashville, Tenn., as a member, and also as Secretary. He accepted the
l)Osition, and acted for .some weeks, when he, for reasons satisfactory to him-
self, tendered his resignation. The resignation has not been accepted, and
we are confident it will be withdrawn. We know of no one, in our opinion,
more thoroughly competent to fill the position.
Editorial Arrangements.
During the year, from considerations of economy, convenience, and other
more important interests of your publishing work, we found it necessary, in
our opinion, to make changes in the editorial work, which involved dispens-
ing with the services of the Rev. J. R. Brown, D.D., and the Rev. R. V. Fo.ster,
D.D. We secured the services, at a salary of $1,500, of the Rev. J. M. How-
ard, D.D., of Carmichaels, Pa. It was expected that his work would be the
editing of the Sunday-school Comments, Bays of Light, and Lesson Leaf, the
editing of all the books, and, to a limited extent, assisting Dr. Harris on
the Ctnnhcrland Presbyterian. At his urgent request, with the assent of Dr.
Harris, the arrangement was modified so as to divide between them the
book-editing and work on the Sunday-school periodicals named, thus allow-
ing him more time on the Cwnberland Presbyterian. The (lualifications of
Dr. Howard for the work in question we think need no commendation
from us.
Dr. Brown, fnjm 1874 up to the year 1S83, was the sole editor of the Ctim-
berland Presbyterian, and from the latter ])eriod to the 1st of April last was
associate editor with Dr. Harris. Our personal relations with him have
always been of the most pleasant character. His piety and purity of life
have been beyond question ; his untiring industry in the discharge of his
official duties has been beyond complaint; his management of the paper
was conservative and, for the most part, prudent. Sharing with the rest of
us the weaknesses of men, his faults were mainly of a negative character.

Every member of the Board entertains the kindest wishes for his future
happiness and usefuhiess. As our action in regard to liim has been the
subject of some unkind comment, we desire to say that it was induced by
nothing but the clearest conviction that the interests intrusted to our hand's
demanded it.
In this connection we would submit a few^ thoughts of a general
nature. As a Board of the Church our mission will not be fulfilled by
merely maintaining *the ground we have gained in the past. Nothing but
continued progress will satisfy either our ambition or our conception of
duty. There can be no substantial progress which does not recognize the
duty of a Board to supersede even a good man by a better one when the
latter can be found. Recognizing this principle of action, we have endeav-
ored, in all conflicts between our personal sympathies and the interests of
the Cliurch, to ignore the one and keep our eyes steadily fixed on the other.
No other policy becomes honest men, or is worthy the respect of the Church.
If pei*sonal interests undertake to cast themselves athwart the way of the
Church's progress, there can be no question as to which must yield. In
carrying out this policy some one must decide upon the merits of men. As
to all the employees of our Board, including the editors, that power has
been lodged with us. In the recent exercise of it, we have combined witli
firmness all tlie care, deliberation, and discreetness of which we were
capable.
Our Finances.
For the details of the business for the year and of the financial situation
we refer you to the Report of the Agent, Mr. T. M. Hurst, which is herewith
transmitted. It has not beeli so prosperous a year with us as the year pre-
ceding. This, we think, is mainly due to the general business depression
which has been prevailing throughout the country. For the last month or
two, however, there has been a marked improvement in our business, which
we regard as evidence that this depression is gradually yielding to a return-
ing activity. A heavy diminution in our job-work has prevailed through-
out the year, but the outlook as to it is now decidedly encouraging.
The balance-sheet contains, properly as a matter of book-keeping, various
items of both profit and loss which are not actual. The actual financial re-
sult of the year's business will appear by the following statement :
Losses as shown by Profit and Loss Account $27,806 80

The above statement, it must he remembered, includes only such exijen-
ditures as ciin be charged directly and exclusively to some one department
of the work. It does not include the general expenses incurred for the
joint l)cnefit of all these departments, and which cannot be apportioned
with any degree of accuracj\
The Board determined, for one year at least, to make the Sunday-school
Periodicals what the Church seemed to demand, both as to quality and
price, without anj' very careful regard for financial results. We think the
Church is satisfied with them, and it only requires increased patronage to
make them a financial success.
The loss in the business, as before stated, is partly due to the generally
prevailing business depression. It is to be remembered, also, that in
increasing the list of the Cumberland Presbyterian during the latter jiart of
the last financial year, that year got the credit for a large number of .sub-
scriptions which had to be filled out at the expense of this year. It is evi-
dent, however, that we nmst curtail some expenses, and still further inci'ease
the patronage of the House. The indebtedness is $10,527.96, and is balanced
partially by debts due the House amounting to $8,076.86.
The Cumberland Presbyterian.
The subscriptions to the Cumlierland Presbyterian began to diminish early
in the year, and continued till the close. The number now is 9,700. The
cause of this diminution may, in addition to the depression in business, be
to some extent owing to a general relaxation of effort usually following a
more than ordinary cfibi't to swell the list. As to the merits of the paper,
we prefer it should speak for itself. The importance of this periodical
in a monetary ])oint of view, however great, is secondary to its great
value as a denominational organ. That a periodical commanding the
patronage of an entire Church or nation can be made better than when
dependent upon local support, needs no other evidence than what we daily
have before our eyes in the field of newspaper and literary journalism. As
a means of communication with so vast a number of readers, its value is
beyond estimate. For every writer to be able to address 50,000 readers
instead of 5,000, increases his power tenfold. For 50,000 persons to be all
united as the readers of one i)aper, instead of being distributed among ten
difierent ones, is to unify their thoughts, sympathies, and efforts. What-
ever demand there may be for the provincial journal, the necessity for the
metropolitan journal is unquestioned and unquestionable. Were the cir-
culation of this paper increased to 20,000, its usefulness as well as its
pecuniary value to the Church would be increased not less than fivefold.
The Sunday-school Periodicals.
These periodicals are, we think, better and more prosperous than they
have ever been. ]\Irs. Harris's work on the Sunday-school Gem and Our
Lambs is, so far as we are advised, giving a very high degree of satisfaction.
The Snnddjf-school Onnmeuts ami Lesson Leaf, under Dr. Foster's editorship,
have continued to increase in circulation from the beginning of their pub-
lication. The Pays of Light has been a success from the time it was issued.
We regret exceedingly to sever Dr. Foster's connection with these })eriod-
icals. So reluctant were we to do so that although in our contract with Dr.
92 Publication. [1885.
Howard we provided that he should edit them, yet we, without his knowl-
edge, reserved in our own minds the question whether we could and should
not continue Dr. Foster as their editor. Economy, however, as well as
some considerations of convenience, seem to demand that we should have
all the editorial work of the House done by Drs. Harris and Howard, and
Mrs. Harris. Our relations with Dr. Foster have been of the most pleasant
character, and in the severance of his official relations we have found him
ready to cheerfully acquiesce in any thing thought to be for the general
good. The circulation of these periodicals is as follows: Snnday-school Gnn,
12,000; Our Lainhs, 14,000; Lesson Leaf, 17,000; Sunday-school Comments,
11,000 ; Emjs of Light, 7,000.
Books.
We have made but little progress this year in publishing books, save in
getting out some new editions of those heretofore published. We have had
several manuscripts presented for publication, but found it impracticable to
secure the proper consideration of them for want of a Book Editor. The
Board's policy in regard to new books is to publish none in the future that
are not first-class. There are men and women in the Church capable of
writing books of that character. They need, however, the leading and
stimulating influence of a competent Book Editor to develop their latent
talents and suggest to them the greatest needs of our Church literature.
We have contracted with the Rev. B. W. McDonnold, D.D., to write a thor-
ough History of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. His literary quali-
fications, his extended knowledge of the Church's history, and his patient
industry in whatever he undertakes, give the greatest assurance that the
work will be one of which the Church may justly be proud. He has
already entered zealously upon his work, giving his entire time to it. It is
the purpose of the Board to make similar engagements for other books dur-
ing the coming year.
Asking you to add your prayers to our own invocation of Divine blessing
upon our feeble efforts for the coming year, we consign to history the suc-
cesses and failures of the i^ast.
Your brethren and co-workers,

Agent's Report. . ■
To the Board of Publication of the Cumberlaud Pre.sbyteriau Church :
Gentlemen : — I submit herewith our balance-sheet showing the condition
of our buvsiness on the 30th day of April, 1885.
You will see that our eflJbrts have not been so successful as they were
during the past two years. We have done our best, but this has been a
hard year, as you have no doubt realized. We regret our inability to make
a better showing, but the facts demand candor, and we submit this report.
Life has its days of prosperity and its days of adversity. So has our Pub-
lishing Hou.se. This has not been one of our most prosperous years, and
while we regret this, we are glad to report that there is an improvement in
some departments of our business, and that the outlook is much more
promising than at any time during the past twelve months.
The increase in the circulation of our Sunday-school papers has been
considerable, but it is necessary to still further enlarge their patronage to
make them self-sustaining. So far they are giving satisfaction, except in a
financial way. To overcome this we nmst increase the circulation and not
the price. The indications lead me to think that this can easily be accom-
l)lished.
1885.] Publication. 93
Tlie circulation of the Cumberland PreshyU'rian has fallen off, but in al
other respects tliis periodical is giving satisfaction, so far as I know. It is
receiving the strongest commendations from our people. Its liberal sup-
port means much to this enterprise, as it does, no doubt, to all of our
Church-work. As a rule, the congregations that patronize it liberally use
our Sunday-school pajiers and buy our books. Its circulation is in tlie
hands of the Church.
Our Book and Job-work is now furnishing grounds for hope for an in-
creased business during the coming year.
During the year just closing our expenses have been rather too lieavy for
our business. These should be curtailed for the coming year.
With economy, industry, the united efforts of the Church, and the bless-
ings of God, we have indeed a bright future.
Kespectfully, T. M. Hurst, Agent.
Auditor's Report.
To the Board of Publication of the Cumbeiiaud Presbyterian Church :
I, J. "W. Watkins, having audited the cash account of your Agent for the
fiscal year ending April 30, 18 o, do certify that the same is found correct;
and I hereby take i^leasure in stating that I find in your office one of the
most complete systems by which mistakes may be discovered that I have
ever examined.
Respectfully, J. W. Watkins, Auditor.

Ministerial Relief. 95
IlI-MIMSTERIAL RELIEF.
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF MINISTERIAL RELIEF OF
THE CUMBERLAND PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
To the General Assembly, in session at Uentoiivillc, Ark., May, 188.5 :
The Board of Ministerial Relief herewitli submits its Fourth Annual
Rei>ort.
1. The year has been one of great encouragement, showing that this cause
is taking deeper hold upon the hearts of tlie people. It has made many
friends, and we feel sure it has lost none. The right of this enterprise to a
])lace among the benevolences of the Church has been abundantly proved.
As the facts become known which show the necessity for this work and
the good it is doing, the number of its supporters must increase and its in-
fluence widen. The best help, therefore, which our friends can render is
simply a statement of facts showing what we are doing and what needs to
be done.
2. Since the organization of the Board we have been obliged to decline
only one application for aid. This is owing to the great care exercised by
the Presbyteries in making recommendations. We hope this will continue,
so that if any dissatisfaction should arise it will be simply local, and will be
confined to limits where all the facts can be fully known. The Presbytery
must recognize its responsibility in each case, and must meet it fairly and
with justice, both to the applicant and to the whole Church. It is also the
duty of the Presbytery to incpiire into the situation of those who may
seem to need aid, and not wait for them to make a formal application.
Thus the assistance rendered will be doubly welcome because of the man-
ner in which it comes. No fear of imposition from this class of persons
need l)e felt. The danger is they may suflier too long before they consent to
make their wants known. They must l)e made to feel that this enterprise
is founded upon justice as well as charity, and that the Church proffers
assi.stance to those who have served it faithfully, or to their needy ones, be-
cause it is right. We desire that these two phases of the work should l)e
kept constantly in mind by the Presbyteries.
3. Some changes occur from year to year in the list of beneficiaries, and
you will observe the numl)er gradually increases. The first year there
were four; the second, twelve; the third, sixteen; and this year we report
twenty-five. Of these, thirteen are disabled ministers and twelve are the
families of deceased ministers. The list represents about sixty-five per-
sons, who are comforted by the voluntary oflerings of the Church which
they or theirs served in the days of prosperity and strength.
4. We submit herewith for your inspection the ai^plications for relief
that have been made out and forwarded to the Board by the Presbyteries.
We think you will lind that in every case the questions laid down in the
blank forms have been fully and satisfactorily answered. If, however,
any thing appears in these papers that ought to be remedied, the Board
will gladly conform to whatever <lirections you may give. Names of per-
sons appear in this list who could not have anticijjated such a thing when
the year began, a fact which suggests that every minister should rally to
the sujiport of this enterprise and put it upon a basis commensurate with
its deserts and with every reasonable demand that may be made on its
treasury. AVe know not what may befall our brethren, or what may come
to anv one of us.
96 Ministerial Eelief. [1885.
5. Two objections that are oftenest made against rendering aid to others
are fully met by the facts manifest in the workings of this enterprise.
Frequently persons seek to excuse themselves from giving because they
fear the aid may not be properly appropriated. That cannot be said in this
ca,se, for surely the worthiness of those receiving aid through this Board
will not be questioned. Others Avould hold that too great a per cent, of the
amount contributed is consumed in "expenses." This is usually the resort
of the selfish, who do not want to give, but certainly this objection cannot
be made against the administration of this beneficence. During the past
year the Board's expenses have been $41.94, or less than 1} per cent. Dur-
ing the four years of its existence the rate of expense has been but 2^ per
cent.
6. Contributions have been received during the year from two hundred
and fifty congregations, froni nine Sabbath-schools, and from sixty individ-
uals. These represent seventy-three out of one hundred and seventeen
Presbyteries. This shows a marked increase over former years. The most
gratifying exhibit, however, is in the aggregate amount contributed, which
is more than the total receipts of the three former years. The list of indi-
vidual contributions is much larger than ever before.
A contribution from every congregation in the Church should be the end
striven for in behalf of this cause. "With nothing short of this should its
friends be satisfied.
We ask you to continue to designate the month of December as the time
for contributions to this cause. The Sabbath nearest Christmas is also
suggested as an appropriate day.
7. The bequest of the late Mrs. Fathia Shaw, of Danville, 111., has
yielded the Board $2,100, which amount has been .safely invested, the in-
terest to be used, as are the regular contributions, from year to year. A
final settlement will soon be made with the executor, JNIr. E. H. Palmer,
whose dealings with us in this matter have been marked with the utmost
fairness and Christian courtesy. Four hundred dollars more will be re-
ceived from this source. We hope the cause will be remembered in like
manner by others.
S. We append herewith the Report of the Secretary and Treasurer, show-
ing contributions by congregations and Presbyteries, Sabbath-schools and
individuals ; also the disbursements during the year.
Respectfully submitted. W. G. B.alstos, President;

The purpose for which this Corporation is formed is to receive, hold, con-
vey, and disburse such real and personal property as may be given by will
or otherwise to it, or acquired by it in any legitimate way, for the relief and
support of disaliled ministers and missionaries, and of the needy widows
and orphans of deceased ministers and missionaries, or of such other per-
sons as ma^f be dependent upon said ministers and missionaries.
Appropriations from the funds of the Corporation shall be made alone,

themselves, since entering said ministry, to the active duties thereof in said
Church, and wlio are not able to support themselves by any suitable voca-
tion of life, and to such missionaries as have been appointed to work in
Home or Foreign fields by the recogi|ized authorities of said Cumberland
Presbyterian Church, and who have faithfully discharged the duties as-
signed them during the time of their appointment, and who are not able to
support themselves by any suitable vocation in life ; and, second, that so
far as may be consistent with the wants of disabled ministers and mission-
aries, the Board may also furnish aid to the widows and orphans of minis-
ters and missionaries aforesaid, and to such other person or persons as may
be, or may have been, dependent up.^n said ministers and missionaries.

to which said minister belonged at the time of his death, or of a standing
committee of that Presbytery. Appropriations for missionaries who are

missionaries, shall be made on the recommendation of the Board by which
such missionaries were, or may be, employed.
2. Appropriations are made for one year or less, except when otherwise

Council of the Alliance of the Reformed Churches holding the Presby-

Extract of minute referring to application of Cumberland Presbyterian
Church to be admitted into membership:
"The Council, without approving of the Church's revision of the West-
minster Confession and of the Shorter Catechism, admit the Cumberland

Minutes of its last meeting, and also to lay before you the inclosed resolu-

Yours very truly, G. D. Mathews, Sec'y.
"At a regular meeting of the American Section of the Executive Com-
mittee of the Alliance of the Reformed Churches, held in Philadelphia,
March 24, 1885, the Treasurer was directed to inform the Chairman of each
Church Committee of the amount expected from it for the ad inieriin ex-
penses of 1885-6, in order that the matter might be brought before the
highest court of each Church, and, if possible, the payment be provided
for out of its general treasurj'."

Report oi- Delegates to the Pan-Presbyterian Council.
Fathers and Brethren: — Your delegates to the Council of the Alliance
of the Ref^»rmed Churches holding the Presbyterian System throughout
the world, beg leave to submit the following report:
We proceeded to the city of Belfast, Ireland, w'here the Council con-
vened, June 24, 1884. Immediately upon onr arrival w'e presented our
credentials to the Council's Committee on the Reception of Churches, but
owing to the absence of the chairman of the committee. Dr. MacVicar, of
Canada, no immediate action was taken by the committee upon the appli-

cation of our Church for iriembersliip in the Alliance. On account of the
great interest previously excited, both in Eu'ope and America, by the dis-
cussion of the proposition to admit the Cumberland Presbyterian Church
to a place in the Alliance, the Council ai)pointed an unusually large com-
mittee to consider the application of our Church, which had been pre-
viously made by our (ieneral Assembly, through its Stated Clerk. The
enlarged committee consisted of seventeen of the most distinguished min-
isters and laymen of the Council. After a protracted and earnest investi-
gation of all the j)roblems involved in the admission of the Cumberland
Presbyterian Church to membership in the great Alliance, the committee
unanimously recommended that our Church be admitted, without express-
ing any opinion for or against our Confession f>f Faith.
On a motion to adopt the committee's rejKjrt, Dr. Chambers, of New
York, moved to amend by substituting, instead of not expressing an ojiin-
ion for or against our Confession of Faith, " without approving the Church's
revision of the VVestmin.ster Confession of Faith."
Dr. Chambers's amendment was carried by a vote of 112 to 78. Those
voting against Dr. Chambers's amendment were in favor of admitting our
Church unconditionally. Those voting for the amendment desired the
admission of the Church " without approving our revision of the West-
minster Confession of Faith."
After due deliberation and consultation, we decided to accept seats in
the Council and report our action to you.
The action of the Council in this matter gave great satisfaction to its
members. We believe that the final settlement of this question, involving
the good name and ecclesiastical standing of our Church, will redound to
the interest and prosperity of our beloved Zion.
We take special pleasure in bearing testimony to the cordial and hearty
reception our delegates received, both from members of the Council and
the citizens of Belfast. We were accorded all the rights, dignities, and
honors extended to other members of the Council. We recommend that'
you continue to fraternize with this great and powerful organization,
intended to promote the welfare of our common Presbyterianism.

Committee of Co-operation on Foreign Missions that he would pay the
traveling expenses of the committee, whenever necessary, to an amount
not exceeding oiie hundred dollars.
The Commission resolved to hold its next meeting on the 16th of June,
in the lecture-room of the Scotch Church, NeAV York, at 12 m., unless
there should appear to the Chairman and Treasurer good reasons for ap-
pointing another date.
The meeting was closed with prayer by the Rev. Dr. Bausman.

EVANGELICAL UNION.
To the General Assembly of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, Bentonville, Ark. :
Dear Brethren: — It is a source of gratification to the Evangelical Union-
ists, especially to those of them who had the pleasure of meeting and ex-
changing thoughts with the members of the large and influential deputation
from the Cumberland Presbyterian Church to the Pan-Presbyterian Council
held last summer in Belfast, Ireland, to know that one and all have got safely
back to their respective places of abode and spheres of labor. Fain would
we persuade ourselves that they have returned home delighted with, and, in
more senses than one, enriched by their visit to these old countries, and
that they have entered on the discharge of their ministerial and other
duties with fresh zeal and renewed vigor of body and mind. Those of us
who had the joy of looking in their faces have certainly very pleasant
reminiscences of intercourse with them, and our only regret was that cir-
cumstances did not favor its extension. Although all too brief, we feel
that it has increased our respect for, as well as our confidence and interest
in, the whole Cumberland Presbyterian Church ; and we hope that what the
deputation .saw of us, and learned of our affairs, has had no tendency to
lower us in their estimation, or diminish their sympathy with the Evan-
gelical Union in its contendings for truth and righteousness.
We were not quite sure what the result would be of the application
which we understood the Cumberland Presbyterian Church had made to
be received into the Pan-Presbyterian Council. When we took into ac-
count, however, the spirit of the age and the changes in tlie direction of a
liberal theology which were taking place amongst us, we were hopeful that
it would be favorably entertained ; and we take this tlie earliest opportunity
that has presented itself of congratulating the applicants on the issue. In
view of it, and of the numerous outspoken and manly utterances which
were given by one and another when the case of the Cumberland Presby-
terian Church was before the Council, we are heartily glad that you had the
1885.]
Correspondence. Ill
grace and wisdom to press your application. The discussion to which it
gave rise was creditable, in spirit at least, to most, if not all, who took part
in it; and it is our conviction that it will be productive of a va.st amount
of good on both sides of the Atlantic. It showed that " Westminsterism "
is everywhere on the wane, and that before long not a vestige of it will be
found, though search should be made for it with a lighted candle. The
shell of Calvinism no doubt still clings to many in the Presbyterian fold,
but its banishment we regard as one of the events of the future; and the
sooner it disappears — at variance, as it demonstrably is, with reason and
Scripture — the better. The result of your application was the more grate-
ful to us that your port anil bearing before the Council were worthy of all
praise. You were naturally anxious to be received, but we were jileased
to note that you were resolved not to purchase admission at too dear a
price, or secure it by resorting to aught that was mean, or cowardly, or tort-
uous; and it is well for the world to know that a man may be a Christian
and a sound Presbyterian, and yet prefer the system of Arminianism to that
of Calvinism.
The knowledge that the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, which we
seem to know and love better than we ever did before, continues, despite
difficulties and discouragements, to make gratifying pi'ogress in various
departments of Christian effort, affords Evangelical Unionists much satis-
faction ; and it is our hearts' desire and prayer that its future triumphs
over ignorance, error, vice, and sin may shame its past victories.
We are, dear brethren, yours in the bonds of the gospel,

METHODIST PROTESTANT CHURCH.
Hon. .John Frizzell, Moderator :
Dear Sir: — At the late General Conference of the Methodist Protestant
Church, held in Baltimore, Md., a Boai-d of five Commissioners was ap-
pointed and duly authorized to confer with a like Board to be appointed
by the General Assembly of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, in
view of formulating a basis for the organic union of the two bodies ; pro-
vided that, after a full and free interchange of sentiment, such union,
should be found desirable and practicable. Unfortunately, however, your
General Assembly had adjourned before it could be notified of the action
of our General Conference. This we very much regret, as nothing can
now be done, I presume, until your General Assembly will again meet — at
least, nothing can be done officially. My object in now addressing you as
Moderator of the General Assembly of the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church is to thus officially notify you of the action of our General Confer-
ence, and recjuest you to submit the same to your General Assembly at its
next session, that it may take such action in the premises as may V)e
deemed desirable. We cherish the hope that your General Assembly may
be pleased to name a Board of Commissioners similar to the one appointed
by our General Conference. And if no organic union may result from the
mutual action of the two general bodies, we shall, at least, learn to know
each other better and to love each other more. So far as I now' under-
stand the circumstances of the ca.se, I think that through mutual conces-
sions and brotherly yieldings a basis of union may be formed that will
prove acceptable to both parties; and if, in the ordering of Divine Provi-
dence, such shall be the result, no one will more heartily rejoice than my-
self.
With feelings of Christian fraternity, I remain yours trulv,
G. B. McElrov,
Chairman Board of Commissioners M. P. Church.

112 Correspondence. [1885.
To this communiftition the following reply was made by the Moderator:
Dear Sir and Brother: — I have your favor of thfe 6th inst., and, witli
you, regret that our General Assembly coilld not before its adjournment
have been informed of the action of your General Conference.
I am not prepared to express an opinion as to whether our doctrinal
bases may be reconciled. I apprehend that but little difficulty would
be found in harmonizing our views on Church government. However
these things may be, a correspondence should, and doubtless would, result
as you say, in our learning to know each other better and to love each
other more.
I will Avith pleasure bring this matter to the attention of our General
Assembly at its next meeting, to be held at Bentouville, Ark., third Thurs-
day in May next. Meantime, accept assurances of fraternal regard and
Christian fellowship. Yours very truly, John Frizzell.
Nashville, Temi., June 14, 1S84.
From the "Journal of Proceedings of the General Convention of the
Methodist Protestant Church," Baltimore, May, 1884, pp. 24-26, the follow-
ing extract is presented, giving the action had by that body on this subject:
Committee on Fraternal Relations Report.
The Report of the Committee on Fraternal Relations was read, and
adopted as follows :
Fart First. — Your committee have had under consideration a letter ad-
dressed to this General Conference by E. K. 8quier, D.D., Avho was ap-
pointed by the General Assembly of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church
at its session of 1882 as a Corresponding Delegate to your body now in ses-
sion. The letter expresses very warmly the fraternal feelings of tlie waiter,
and contains assurances of the cordial sentiments of the Assembly and of
the Cumberland Presbyterian Church toward the Methodist Protestant
Church.
It should be borne in mind as an historical fact that the General Confer-
ence of 1880, at Pittsburgh, was favored with a fraternal visit from the
Rev. Mr. Black, of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, who made an
able and intere.sting address, in which he expressed a very ardent desire
for a corporate union between that denomination and ours. The Corre-
.sponding Delegate, whose letter is before us, refers to the fact that at their
Assembly in 1882, a letter was received from a delegate representing the
Methodist Protestant Church, in which was contained a suggestion touch-
ing the matter of organic Church union. The Assembly received the sug-
gestion favorably, and now answer it through their correspondent, who
represents that if our feelings are still in favor of organic union, the Cum-
berland Presbyterian Church will agree to meet us by committee in the
discussion of the subject.
The General Assembly of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church is in
session at this time at McKees'port, Fa.
We quote you from the letter of Dr. Sqiiier as follows:
" If in your wisdom it may seem to your good and the glory of God to
appoint such Committee of Conference on this subject, and you should do
.so, informing the Cumberland Presbyterian Assembly, at McKeesport, of
your action, I have no doubt that the Assembly would at once appoint a
similar committee to meet and confer with yours. Sliould this action be
thought advisable, and be taken by both bodies at an early day in their
.sessions, the two committees might meet at Cumberland, Md., and consider
the matter in question, and report, in part at least, before either party shall
adjourn."
Your committee feel that while fraternity toward other denominations
is a self-evident duty, growing out of the intimate relations which must
subsist between the disciples of our common Lord, yet there is no under-
taking fraught with greater difficulty in a general way than that of attempting
1885.] Correspondence. IIH
to effect organic union between any two of the existing religious denonjina-
tions; for even where it is found j>racticable to harmonize all doctrinal and
governmental differences in any given case, the matter of name itself,
small as that may ai:)pear to be, stands in the way and proves generally an
insuperable barrier to union. 80 true is it that names are often more ])0-
tent with men than i)rinci])les. But notwithstanding our sen.se of the dif-
ficulties attending any attempt to bring about organic union as between
our own and any other religious denomination, we will not disguise the
fact tbat in our oi)iniun, were such a thing practicable, a union with the
Cuml)erland Presbyterians Avould be a most desiral)le consumn)ati(jn.
And since there have been mutual expressions of desire in these two
denominations for union, and the (luestion, so far as it may be involved in
the letter of the Corres))onding Delegate, has been referred to us for con-
sideration, we venture to advise the following, viz. :
1. That the Convention appoint hve Commissioners, who shall confer
with a like Commission of the Cumberland Pre.sVjyterian Church on the
subject of organic union, and report to tlie next General Conference.
2. That we express our gratification at hearing of the prosj)erity of the
Cumberland Presbyterians, as re])orted to us in the letter under considera-
tion, and i)ray the continued and increased blessing of the Lord upon them
and their work. %

THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN THE UNITED STATES.
The General Assembly of the Prcsl)yteriaii Church in the United States, in session at Hous-
ton, Texas, to the General Assenihly of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, in session
at Benton ville, Ark. — Greeting:
It has seemed best to our Assembly to conduct its correspondence with
other religious bodies wholly by letter, and not l)y delegates, as formei-ly.
And we desire now to renew our assurance of warm fraternal regard for
your veneral)le A.ssembly and for your people, ^^'e rejoice in every token
of Divine favor shown you in thu prosecution of the work of our common
Lord.
We desire earnestly to labor together in love with y(jur Church, and
every branch of the Church of Christ, in contending for the truth that is
in Jesus and for the furtherance of tlie gospel of salvation.
We are grateful to be able to i-eport to you that the Lord has blessed us
during the ]iast year, and that the work which he has in his providence
intrusted to our hands has made such progress as to l)e to us a cause for
devout thanksji'iving. We do not deem it needful to lay before you ])artic-
ular infoi-mation as to the special interests of our'Church. Our Stated
Clerk will forward to your Stated Clerk a copy of the Minutes of this meet-
ing of our Assembh'.
Renewing our salutations, we offer for you the prayer (Heb. xiii. 20, 21 ),
"Now the God of peace, that brouglit again from the dead our Lord Jesus,
that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting
covenant, nuike you perfect in every good work t(j do his will, working in
you that which is well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to
whom be glory forever and ever." H. R. Raymond, Modrtaior.

114 Education. [1885.
y.-EDUCATION.
[ The Board of Education made a report to the General Assembly, which
was referred to one of the Standing Committees. The paper, however,
did not come into my hands; and although every possible effort has been
made to procure it, yet I have not been able to find it. This is to be
regretted, for it should have been published in the Minutes. The re-
port gave a very encouraging outlook, showing that there is a deeper
interest throughout the Church than ever before on the subject of educat-
ing the rising ministry— each of our colleges and universities having a
lai'ger number of young'men who are making thorough preparation for
their great work than during any previovis year of the Church's history. —

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF CUMBERLAND
UNIVERSITY.
To the General Asseinbly of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, in session at Benton-
ville, Ark. :
The Trustees of Cumberland University submit the following report for
the year ending June, 1885:
The past year has been one of marked prosperitj', notwithstanding the
great financial depression throughout the country. The increase of stu-
dents above the attendance of last year was about ten per cent., while the
increase of last year over that of the previous year was twenty per cent.,
thus showing in the period of two years an increase of about thirty per
cent, of students.
In the last Annual Report from this Board three causes were assigned
for the continued prosperity of the University, which may now be repeated
with increased emphasis. They were —
1. The Cumberland Presbyterian Church is growing in its power and in
its work, and is bringing a rapidly-increasing number of young men within
its influence ; and as the Church grows, so will Cumberland University.
2. The alumni are sending their sons to the University to be educated,
and this influence is being extended to their neighbors' sons, and thus the
University is beginning to reap the fruits of labor performed more than a
(juarter of a century ago.
o. The work of the University is being well and thorougly done in the
class-room. The efficiency and unselfish devotion of the Faculty are a con-
tinuing source of congratulation. The energy of such men cannot fail to
bear fruit, and it is in a large measure by reason of their faithful labors
that the Board is able to report the prosperity of the past, and to see so
much encouragement for the future.
Perhaps the most significant fact of the year is the large increase in the
attendance of candidates for the ministry. Seventy-two young men are
here, attending one or more of the schools of the University, who are pre-
paring for the work of the ministry in the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church ; and it is gratifying to be able to say, without intending to under-
rate other classes, tliat the young ministers now here, in point of intelli.
1885.] Education. 115
gence and personal culture, give unusual promise of usefulness to the
Church.
Since the last Annual Report from this Board the sum of two thousand
six hundred and sixty-six dollars has been added to the cash endowment
of the Theological Department. This sum has been contributed without
special solicitation, and by a large number of persons throughout the
Church, and has been received by the Treasurer in sums ranging from
three dollars to one thou.sand dollars. No part of the sum contributed on
what is known as the "Manlove Proposition" is included in this amount.
Two thousand six hundred and sixty-six dollars is not a large sum for the
Cumberland Presbyterian Church to give in one year for the endowment
of its Theological School. It could give each year ten times that amount
and not suffer thereby. But there is something more encouraging in the
fact than in the amount of money received. It is the offering of many
hearts, and is a sure indication that the Seminary is finding its place in
the heart of the whole Church; and when it has fully done this, it will no
longer be in want of the things needful for the accomplishment of its great
mission.
The death of A. J. Baird, D.D., who for many years gave, free of charge
to the University, his services as Lecturer on Pa.storal Work, made it neces-
sary for the vacancy thus arising to be filled. The Board having no funds
at their command which could be appropriated to this end, it was neces-
sary to find some one both competent and willing to render to the Church
and the University a like gratuitous service. The Board is glad to be able
to report that the Faculty have been able to fill the vacancy bj' securing
the gratuitous services of W. J. Darbv, D.D., of Evansville, Ind., and the
Rev. J. U. Hubbert, of Lincoln, 111.
While it is humiliating to the Board to confess its inability to pay for
such services, it is yet a matter of congratulation to the whole Church that
efficient and consecrated men can be found who are willing to perform the
labor without price.
For several years past C. H. Bell, D.D., has also been performing for the
University a gratuitous service as Lecturer on Missions. He has agreed to
make his annual visits to Lebanon <luring the extreme weather of the win-
ter months of longer duration, and to extend his lectures so as to include
the subjects of the Preparation and Delivery of Sermons, and the Board
have accordingly elected him Professor of Homiletics and Missions. The
services of Dr. Bell, though unrewarded by salary, are invaluable to the
student of theology, and cover a field of instruction to which the older
members of the Faculty could not give that time which its importance
demanded.
The Church is to be congratulated upon these several changes, which have
secured so large an increase to the working force of the Theological De-
partment, and they are respectfully submitted to the General Assembly for
its approval.
No changes in the Boar<l of Trustees have occurred to be reported.
Respectfully submitted. And'w B. Martin,
President Board of Trustees of Cumberlaud Univer.<itv.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES.
To the General Assembly of the Cuniberlancl Presbyterian Church, which is to meet in the

The Trustees of the General Assembly of the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church hereby submit to your reverend bodj' their Annual Report.
1. The Doherty fund is securely invested in bonds, as stated in our last

deceased, and which has been paid to the Treasurer of the Trustees of
Cumberland University, as directed by the said Luther Rawlins, to be ap-
plied to the "Beard Endowment."
4. There is a residuary bequest made to your Board by the last will of
