Louisville, Miss., Mai/ 1-t, 1877.

To the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church
in the United States, in Session in the City of New Orleans, La. :

Deaii Sir, axd, Thkouoh You, the Dear Fathers and Breth-
ren OK THE (tExeral ASSEMBLY : — Enclosed, j^lease find my creden-
tials as Corresponding Delegate from the General Assembly of the
Cumberland Presbyterian Church to your reverend body.

For a time I entertained the hope" that affairs with hie might take
such turn that I could enjoy the unspeakable pleasure of bearing to
you, in person, the Christian salutations and courtesies of our Genera!
Assembly. Events have directed otherAvise. In due time I forwarded
the commission to my alternative. Dr. Stainback, of Memphis; but he
returned it Avith urgent solicitation that I should attend your meeting.
And novv' I avail myself of this method, as the only alternative, to dis-
charge this sacred responsibility.

I would prove recreant to tliis high trust, and recreant to my own
feelings, Avere I to fail to reassure j-ou of the tender regards of our
Church toward yours.

"We hail with delight the auspicious day that has daAvncd upon the
Church, in which there is a strong and' increasing tendency toAA'ard
that great idea inculcated hy the apostles, of " endeaA-oring to keep the
unity of the spirit in The bond of peace."

I flatter myself that the frateriaal correspondence Avhich has beeri
inaugurated is not a mere name— not an empty sound — but a stern
reality; is Christianity " in earnest," and underlies the grand ideal of
co-Ojoerafion so characteristic of the present age.

It Avould be unnatural if Ave should fail to cherish a deep interest in
your_AveIfare and in your operations. Much that is common to us both
in history, in ancestry, in name, in forms of Avorship and in Avork,
demands of us Avhat Ave cheerfully accord. AVe rejoice in your pros-
perity ; Ave feel oppressed in your adA-ersity ; Ave honor you for 3-our
work's sake ; Ave loA-e you lT)r the ^Master's sake.

In conclusion, permit me to ask that this expression of our Christian
regards may be accepted as the continuance of fraternal correspond-
ence on our part, though it is but a A-ery meagre expression of Avhat
my heart feels, and of Avhat I Avould try to say, if permitted to say it,
face to face Avith you.

1877.] GENERAL ASSEMBLY. 408

May the Lord of the Harvest grant you abundauoe of ^^uc•cef^.s in your
labors, and peace and prosj erity in all your ])orders. And, finally,
when the reapers shall shout home the harvest of the world, we hope
to share Avith you the lountiful refreshments provided for the faithful
laborers.

May the Crod of peace and love and of all grace have you all, dear
fathers and brethren, in His own everlasting keeiing for His dear
Son's sake. A')nen.

Fraternally yours,

N. J. FOX.

objects of Christian benevolence recognized in the action of the courts
of the Church, under the direction of the Church Session.

The Committee on Bills and Overtures reported on

Overture No. 7, from the Presbytery of Atlanta, asking the Assem-
bly to interpret the law of the Church concerning worldy 'amusements,
as set forth in the deliverances of the Assemblies of 1865 and 1869, in the
following particulars :

I. Does the law forbid card-playing for purposes of amusement, or
for purposes of gambling merely?

II. Does it forbid dancing, or only promiscuous dancing?

III. If the latter only, to what accident of the daiice does the Avord
"promiscuous" refer ?"^ Does the law forbid round dances merely, as
distinguished from the square? or dancing at a iiublic ball, as distin-
guished from dancing in a private house? or the mingling of males and
females in this anuisement for the reason among others, that in such
cases the dance has a tendency to influence the licentious passions."

Answer 1st. The Assembly has uniformly discoiiraged and condemned
the modern dance in all its forms, as tending to evil, whether practised
in public balls or in private parlors.

2d. Some forms of this amusement are more mischievous than others ;
the round dance than the square, the public ball than the private
parlor, but all are evil and should be discountenanced.

3d. The extent of the mischief done depends largely upon circum-
stances. The church session is therefore the only court competent to

judge Avhat reiiiedy to apply ; but tlie Asseiiildy being liersuaded that
in mo^t ciises it is "the result of tliouglitlessntss or ignorance, I'eeoni-
mends great jjatience in dealing with those who offend in this way.
4th. The following was added by the Assembly as an amendment :
And we further affectionately urge all our christian parents not to
send their children to dancing schools, where they acquire a fondness
and an aptitude for this dangerous anmsement.

The report was adopted.

The unfinished lousiness of last evening, viz : concerning
the last clause in the report of the Committee of Corres-
pondence, was then taken up. The Committee obtained
leave to withdraw that part of their report, and the ques-
tion being upon the first part, as constituting the whole
report, it was adopted by a vote of 109 in the affirmative
and 4 in the negative. This report is as follows :

The Committee of Correspondence recommend to the General
Assembly the following as our Church's reply to the communication
received at this session from the General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church in the United States of America :

Whereas, The General Assembly of this Church, in session at St.
Louis in 1875, adopted a paper rendering "special thanks, in the name
of the whole Church, to our Committee of Conference at Baltimore, for
their diligence, fidelity and Christian prudence," and in particular
approving and indorsing "as satisfactory to the Southenr Church the
condition precedent to fraternal relations suggested by our Committee,"
viz: "If your Assembly could see its way clear to say in a few plain
words to this effect, that these obnoxious things were said and done in
times of great excitement, and are to be regretted, and that now, on a
calm review, the imputations cast upon the Southern Church [of schism,
heresy and blasphemy] are disapproved, that would end the difficulty
at once ;" and —

Whereas, Our General Assembly, in session at Savannah in 1876,
in response to a paper from the General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church in the United States of America, which met in Brooklyn,
adopted the following paper, viz :

"We are ready most cordially to enter on fraternal relations with your
body on any terms honorable to both parties. This Assembly has
already, in answer to an overture from our Presbytery of St. Louis,
spontaneously taken the following action :

^^ Resolved, That the action of the Baltimore Conference, approved by
the Assembly at St. Louis, explains with sufficient clearness the posi-
tion of our Church. But inasmuch as it is represented by the over-
ture that misapprehension exists in the minds of some of our people as
to the spirit of this action, in order to show our disposition to remove
on our part all real or seeming hindrance to friendly feeling, the As-
sembly explicitly declares that, while condemning certain acts and
deliverances of the Northern General Assembly, no acts or deliverances
of the Southern General Assemblies are to be construed or admitted as
impugning in any way the Christian character of the Northern Gen-
eral Assembly, or of the historical bodies of which it is the successor ;"
and —

Whereas, The said General Assembly at Brooklyn, in response to
the foregoing paper of our Assembly at Savannah, adopted the follow-
ing, which has been communicated to us at our present meeting, viz :

"The overture of this Assembly having been received by the General
Assembly in the South with such a cordial expression or gratification,
the Committee recommend that the same resolution, declarative of the
spirit in which this action is taken, be adopted by this Assembly, viz :
^In order to show our disposition to remove on our part all real or seem-

413 MINUTES OF THE [A. D.

ing hindrance to friendly- feeling, the Asseml)ly ex])]ieitly declares that,
while condemning certain acts and deliverances of the Southern Gen-
eral Assembly, no acts or deliverances of the Northern Assembly, or
of the historical bodies of Avhich the present Assembly is the successor,
are to be construed or admitted as imi^ugningin any way the Christian
character of the Southern General Assembly or of the historical body
or bodies of which it is the successor' " ; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by this Assembly, that we cannot regard this communica-
tion as satisfactory, because Ave can discover in it no reference whatever
to the first and main part of the paper adopted by our Assembly at
Savannah and communicated to the Brooklyn Assembly. This Assem-
bly can add nothing on this subject to the action of the Assemblj'^ at
St. Louis adojDting the basis i^roposed by our Committee of Conference
at Baltimore and reatftrmed by the Assembly at Savannah.

If our brethren of the Northern Church can meet us on these terms,
which truth and righteousness seem to us to require, then we are ready
to e?t;i.b!ish such relations with them during the present sessions of tlie
Assemblies.

A report of the Committee on Nomination of Delegates
to tlie General Council of the Presbyterian Alliance was
received, and having been amended by the Assembly, it
was adopted, and is as follows :

JAS. K. HAZEN, Chairman.

are as follows :

1. This court solemnly enjoins upon all pastors and other supplies
their obligation to expound fully to the people the duty and privilege
of giving to Christ of their substance as God has prospered them.

2. This court enjoins upon all its constituent Presbyteries to include
this branch of ministerial duty in their stated conferences upon the
fctate of religion in their bounds.

3. This c<Jurt solemnly enjoins its constituent Presbyteries to require
Church Sessions to send up 'reports in writing in case of their failure
to comply with the injunction of Presbytery, the reason for such fail-
ure; and the Presbytery shall pass judgment upon said reports. And
the Presbytery shall report back to the Assemldy as part of their
Annual Report on Systematic Benevolence, whether they have com-
plied with this injunction.

4. As a part of the duty of the Standing Committee on Systematic
Benevolence, it shall ascertain from the reports sent up on this subject
how far the Presbyteries have complied, and report the same to the
General Assemblv.

It is further made the duty of the Assembly's Stated Clerk to enter
upon the docket, as an item of business, the calling upon Commis-
sioners from Presbyteries reported delinquent by the Standing Com-
mittee, for reasons of such delinquency.

wise, with printed blanks, at least six weeks before their Spring meet-
ing, and at the same tiu^e press the injunctions of this court ujion their
attention, in ord<?r that no excuse may remain for non-compliance with
the same.

It was made the order of the day for to-morrow morning,
at 10 o'clock, to hear the report of the Standing Committee
on Education.

The unfinished business of ye^^terday, viz: the overture
relating to theological education, was taken up, and, after
considerable discussion, its consideration was suspended
to introduce the following paper offered by the Rev. Dr.
Adger, which was adopted and ordered to be sent under
official authority by telegraph :

[Telegram Forwarded to General Assembly North.]

Xew Okleaxs, May 22, 1877.

To the Rev. Edwin F. Hatfield, Stated Clerk of Oenerol Assembly at
Ch icago , Illin o is :
This Assembly has adopted, by 109 to 4, a paper which recites the
action of our St. Louis and Savannaii Assemblies, and also refers to
communications received from your Assembly at our j) resent sessions.
It concludes with the expression of (»ur dissatisfaction witli this last
named paper, because it contains no reference Avhatever to the main
part of the paper sent to Brooklyn from Savannah, and it declares that
this Assembly can add nothing to ottr action at St Louis ajiproving the
ground taken by otir Committee at Baltimore, which api^roval the As-
sembly reaffirmed at Savannah. The j»aper adoi)ted here concludes
thus: If our brethren of the Northern Church can meet us on these
terms, which trtith and righteousness seem to tis to require, then we
are ready to establish such relations witli them during the present ses-
sions of the Assemblies. Our letter has gone on by mail.

The unfinished business was resumed, when the paper
presented by the Committee on Bills and Overtures having
been amended, was adopted, and is as follows :

OvEiiTURE No. 13, from the Presl»ytery of New Orleans, asking the
Assembly not lo take action at this meeting on the report and resolu-
tions on theological education presented to tlie last Assembly, and
referred for consideration to this Assembly on pages 272-278 of the
]Mimttes for 1876, on the allegation that the paper contained sugges-
tions, which appear too undigested, and the resolutions proposed by
the Assembly are too vague It proposes the farther postponement of
the subject, and its reference to the same or another Committee.

Your Committee recommend that the Assembly do now proceed to
consider this subject, and presents herewith a i^aper, setting forth in
more detail and definite propositions, the topics comprehensively pre-
Hented in 1, 2 and 3, page 278, Minutes 1876, for the consideration
■of this Assembly.

This General Assembly, in view of tlie suggestions of the report on^
theological education, referred to it by the Assembly of 187G, respectir^ft""
the desirableness of sundry modifi cat ions in our methods of trai',iij|^
candidates for the ministry, liereby soieuinly recommends to th ,- f'ves-
byteries and to the Theological Seminaries under its care to ti\4CH nnler

417 MINUTES OF THE [A. D.

ill their respective .s))lieres of service iji such training-, for carrying
forward that trainini>- in the methods herein coniniended.

1. 1. Tlie Presl)yteries sliall observe with increased strictness the
provisions of our p'orni of (Jovei'ninent, C'h. xiv., sections iii.-vi., and,
to avoid precipitate action in tlie hcensing of candidates, they shall ))e
reipiired to pass througli a probation of at least one year, involving an
attendance on, at least, two nieeting-s of Presbytery, at each of which
a portion of tlieir examinations shall be held. The exanunation of
candidates in the Seminary shall in no case sui)ersede the examination
by Pres1)ytery.

2. Every candidate, except as regarded as an " extraordinary ease,"
F. of G. xiv.-vi., shall ])e required to prosecute satisfactorily the schol-
astic course prescri))ed in tlie F'onn of Government, and, at the dis-
cretion of Presbytery, exhibit any other evidences of piety, literature,
and aptness to teach, wliich may Ije reiiuired )jy Presljytery.

3. To improve candidates in " aptness to teach," the Presbyteries
are advised to provide oi>i)ortunities for such as need additional ad-
vantages for that jiurpose, by granting them permission for a limited
period and prescri})ed field of labors, to conduct pul)lic religious ser-
vices involving the exposition of the ►Scriptures, and provide for the
adequate superintendence of such candidates, and for a reasonable
compensation for their services, and no candidate shall assume such
})rivileges excei)t by leave of Presl)ytery.

4. Candidates whose residences are at an inconvenient distance
from a Seminary for a i)roperly frequent attendance on Presbyteries,
may he temporarily placed under the care of some Presbyteiy more
convenient to the .Seminary, but ordinarily such candidates shall be
required to i)ass their final examinations and receive licensure l)y the
Presbytery under Avhose care they had l>een first taken.

II. 1. The Seminaries are advised so to arrange their programme of
study that candidates may abridge or extend the time of scholastic
study, according to previous i)reparation ami ability for its successful
prosecution. But in no case shall such progrannue lessen the requisi-
tions of our Form of Government.

2. In no case, except under the authority of Presliytery, shall a
candidate be alloAved to pass to a higher grade of study till he shall
have sustained a satisfactory examination on the studies of the grade
preceding.

3. The authorities of the Seminaries shall annually report to the
Presbyteries with which candidates may be connected, l)y a formal
relation or by residence, their scholastic progress, and whatever else
respecting their merit the Presbyteries may request.

4. They shall also provide a course of "vacation study," of such a
character that they can lie successfully prosecuted in private, and on
Avhich the student shall pass a satisfactory examination. This provi-
sion is designed to meet the wishes of candidates who, in the judg-
ment of their Presbyteries, ought to complete the prescribed course of
study in a less jieribd than three years, either to enter ou the work of
the ministry or to spend an additional year in prosecuting such a post
graduate course of study as tlie Faculty of the Seminaries may pre-
scribe.

In adopting this report, the General Agsembly distinctly
disclaims any purpose to exercise any right not clearly
given by the Constitution, or to restrict in the slightest de-
gree the rights of the Presb3^teries in the premises. The
report is advisory onlj^.

It was ordered that the report of the Standing Committee
on Sustentation be presented to-morrow night at 8 o'clock.

The Assembly then took a recess until 8 o'clock, P. M.

1877.1 GENERAL ASSEMBLY. 418

Tuesday Night, 8 o'clock.

The Assembly met and was opened with devotional
exercises.

The report of th'fe Standing Committee on Foreign Mis-
sions, witli accompanying resolutions, was read by the
Chairman, Rev. Dr. Houston, after w^hich addresses were
made and a collection in behalf of Foreign Missions was
taken up. The report was then adopted, and is as follows:

REPORT OF THE STANDING COMMITTEE ON F0REIC4N

MISSIONS.

The Standing Committee on Foreign Missions report to the Assembly
that they have examined, with due care, the report of the Executive
Committee, their minutes and accompanying documents.

They rejoice to say that there is much ground for congratulation in
the facts set forth, and comparatively little for regret. It is true that
the death of one highly esteemed and promising young laborer is
reported, that two others have suffered in some degree from ill-health,
and that one excellent brother has been compelled, from the same
cause, to abandon altogether his work as a missionary, without any
hojDe of ever resuming it; yet He who holds the stars in His rigid hand
has so ordered it, and however mysterious to us it may seem to have
been, it is wisest and best to have been ordered thus. The tokens of
God's gracious favor, however, have been evident, and in some instances
of a somewhat remarkable character, much to the encouragement of
our beloved brethren and sisters in tlie field and those who sustain
them. "We rejoice to believe, also, that there is a growing sjiirit of
liberality in not a few of our churches ; that the female members of the
Church are co-operating in many places with a most commendable
spirit; and that the lambs of the flock, in pleasing numbers, are l)eing
trained in their early years to take the place of their fathers and
mothers in carrying forward this blessed enterprise of benevolence and
christian duty.

Still the harvest is very, very great, and the laborers are very, very
feAV. The question to be solved is not where shall the sickle be thrust
in? or ivhere shall laborers be found to enter the field? (they have
offered themselves in growing numbers, in answer, as we believe, to
prayer), but where, oh how, shall we obtain the means to send these
forth ? Cannot some plan be devised for the purpose of bringing into
exercise the great strength of the Church in tliis regard? Oui- aggres-
sive movement on the reahn of sin and against the mighty hosts of
Satan must inevitably fail without "the sinews of Avar." No effect
was ever produced without an adequate cause. The cause operating
here is not adequate to pr<5duce the desired or expected eflfect. Our
Executive Committee, therefore, is far more anxious and far more em-
barrassed just here than in respect to any other matter claiming their
attention.

The financial dcpartinent, however, of the Executive Committee has
been managed with coiisummate fidelity and skill, so that we can con-
gratulate the Assembly in the fact reported that the burdensome
indebtedness of the Church has been so diminished as to give painful
anxiety no more, either to the missionary in the field or the christian
at home.

The Manual submitted for the action of the Assembly, designed for
the use of the missionaries and missionary candidates, has engaged
the careful attention of your Standing Committee also, and is commen-
ded to the ajiproval and adoption of the Assembly.

Tlie Committee cannot close their report without reminding the

410 MINUTES OF THE [A. D.

Assembly that no mission it ries liavt' i)ceu sent out for two years — that
themiml)erin t'ne field has heen eonsi'lerably reduceil by untoward
causes — that contriVtutions to tlie .-ause of Foreii>ii Mis-ijons, during the
past year fell $8,lo0 short of tlie rontributions for the year before— that
there were 7HH ehitrehes whieli iiave nothing at all to the missionary
cause, and that the women aiel children of the Church gave nearly
half as much as all the churcli.'s which did contribute; therefore, there
are av eighty considerations for a special and speedy effort to I)e made^
for the purpose of enabling your Kxecutive Comniittee to send forth
those candidates for the w(»rk of jinis>ions who have offered their ser-
vices. The loud calls from Mexico, Brazil and China especially should
not be treated with neglect.

Your Committee therefore in view of the considerations thus repor-
ted, recommend to this Geiiej-al Assembly, for their adox>tion, the
folloAving resolutions, viz: —

Resolved 1. That it be enjoined on all the Presbyteries to require each
Pastor and Stated Bupply, at the commencement of every ecclesiastical
year, to ]»reach an instructive, faithful sermon on the gi-vat duty of
sending the gospel to the unevangelized nations of the earth, and while
the impression of responsil>iIity rests upon them, adopt some j)^an.
which in their estimation may prove most successful, towards augment-
ing the gifts of the people; and detennine, through help from on high,
that the jdan shall l)e executed.

Resolved 2. That while the Assembly rejoices in the rapid m.idti-
plication of Ladies' Missio]iary Societies, and would not T>y any means^
discourage their increase, yet a tendency manifested Ity soine churches,
to have the ladies contribute alone, or to appear as the only contribu-
tors of tlie church, would seem to be attended with the evil effect of a
failure to cidtivate that spirit of benevolent liberality, in all the mem-
bers of the church whicli is incidcated in the gospel.

Besolved ?>. That the lLX<'cutive Connnittee of Foreign Missions, foi-
the ensuing year, shall coiisist of the following persons, viz :

Rev. Jno] Leighton Wilson. 1). D., Secretary ; Rev. Rich'dMcIlwaine,,
D. I)., Co-ordinate Secretarv and Treasurer ; Rev. J. G. Hamner, D. D.,
Rev. Jno. Levburn, D. D.,' J{ev. J. .1. Bullock, D. D., Rev. J. A. Le-
fevre, D. D.,*Rev W. U. MurkUnid, D. D., Hon. J. A. Tnglis, C. F,
McCay, Esfj., J. Harman B)-"wn, Es(j , G. Ober, Esrp, J. L. "Weeks,
Esq., G. F. Anderson, Esi|.

All which is respectfully submitted for the Committee,

8aML. R. HOUSTOjN", Chairman.

After further religious exercises, the Assembly adjourned
until to-morrow morniu2,' at 0 o'clock.

WEDKtsjjAY MoKNiNG, 31ay 23, 9 o'clock.

The _ Assembly met ajid engaged in religious services. -
The minutes of 3'esterda y were read and approved.

The Committee on Bills and Overtures reported Overture
No. 12, the consideration of which, after some discussion,
was suspended to take u]. tlie order of the day, when the
Rev. Dr. Howe, from tlie Standing Committee, presented
its re})0]t on Education, whicli was adopted, and is as
follows :

The Standing Committee oji JCdiication, appointed to report on the
matters entrusted to the Assembly's Executive Committee, find that
the duties of this Coinmittee have been wisely discharged, and as suc-
cessfully as the meaiis furnished them I)y the Cluirc-li would lidmit. .

187?.] GENERAL ASSEMBLY. 420

There ha - " 'oen a small iiuveaso tlu- last year iu the uuiuber of con-
tributin:^ > uirche.s, yet the amount eontrilnited, as a whole, lias been
less by $l,-iw than during- the year preceding. This has arisen, in part,
from the depressed condition of our Southern people in tlnancial altairs,
and in part from tlie fact thr.t some few of the Presbyteries that liefore
co-op(r;;ioi witli the Connnittee, are now providing independently for
the education of their candidates.

The debt of the Committee, on the .Wth of April, 1S7B, amounted to
$4,47o. Upon this debt the sumof?2,t>84 has l»een paid since the last
report, reduciuij the del>t to .?1,7.S0. This debt is owed to former bene-
ficiaries of the Committee, l)ut not a cent is due on the appropriation;-
of the last year.

The al)ili'ty of the Committee to reduce the debt, (thus far,) and to
meet its obligations for the past year, has arisen from the fact that the
expenses of the Committee have"!>een less, and that the appropriations
to students in colleges and senunaries have been diminished in amount
for the present, a necessity Avhich we have reason to believe will not
exist l)eyond the jn-esent year, and need not exist so long, if the churches
will coiiie to the Committee's aid at once, up to the measure of their
ability and duty.

If Jill our Presbyteries would imitate the example of the Presbytery
of Brazos, the only one of all in which every ehureh has made a
remittance to the Connnittee during the year, this indebtedness would
never'occur again. Nor will it occur if the co-operating Pres])yteries
M'ill imi;)ress their churches with the necessity of contributing to this
cause innictually and liberally. It is important that all should co-
operate, the stronger assisting the weaker, thus bearing one another's
burden and so fulfilling the laws of Christ. Some of the Presbyteries
that have withdrawn, have not done as well by their candidates in their
independent action as before. Those Avhich recommend caiulidates to
the Connnittee for aid should especially contril>ute lilierally and not
devolve the whole or the main su2>port of them on others.

The actual number of candidates on the funds of the Committee is
less by 17 than in the preceding year. This is accounted for by the fact
that two Presbyteries have withdrawn, which have a large number of
candidates, and some, we fear, have been deterred from apjilj-ing by
the known embarrassments of the Committee, and have abandoned the
idea of entering the ministry from want of the mea/is of i^ursuing the
required course of study.

Your Committee, in view of the whole subject, would recommend
the adoption by the Assembly of the following resolutions:

1. Besolved, That the Pres1)yteries be requested to report to the Sec-
retary, immediately after their meeting, the names of the candidates
and their places of stud^ who are to receive aid, that it may be known
to the Committee what amount is needed to meet their wants for the
current year.

2. Resolved, That the attention of the Church is hereby directed to
the report of Dr. Stratton on Benefieiary Education, appended to the
Minutes of the General Assembly of 1876, for information on that im-
portant subject. And your Committee would further suggest that said
report l)e i>ublished in such form and numbers as may allow of its
general circulation.

3. Resolved, That the attention of the churches be directed to the
Institution for the education of the colored candidates for the ministry,
under the care of Dr. Stillman and Prof. A. F. Dickson, and that they
be called upon to aid generously in its su^jport.

4. Resolved, That the attention of this Assembly is directed to a reso-
lution found in connection with the Constitution of the Executive
Committee of Education, as follows:

"If any Presbytery sliould insist upon managing the funds collected
within its bounds, as well as all other i)arts of the work of Education,
the Assembly will not enjoin upon such Presbyteries to send ail the
moneys raised to the Treasury of the Central Committee. Provided,.

421 MINUTES OF THE [A. D.

That a collection shall be taken in all Us cJiurehes for the work com-
mitted to this Committee." (8ee Minutes of the Assembly at Memphis
in 1S6G. ) [The Assembly Avould again bring this provision to the notice
of the Presbyteries.]

5. Resolved, That in view of the apparently diminished number of
candidates for the ministry, the Church be called upon to pray contin-
ually to the Lord of the harvest tliat He would send forth more
laborers into his harvest, and that, to this end, the day of prayer, the
last Thursday in February, be observed throughout our bounds.

The following persons are recommended as members of the Executive
Committee, to serve for the ensuintr year : J. X. Waddell, D. D. LL. D.
Secretary; G. AV, MaeRae, Esq., treasurer; Rev. A. H. Kerr, D, D.,
Rev. R. R. Evans, Rev. Wm. E. Boggs, D. D., Rev. John S. Park,
Rev. Eugene Daniel, B. :SI. Estes, Esq., M. P. .Tarnasrin, Esq., A. F.
Dod, Esq., James Elder, Esq.

The unfinished business (Overture No. 12) was resumed,
whereu]3on the following paper was adopted :

Overture No. 12, from Ouachita Presbytery, requesting the use of
some other letters than S. .S. to designate those ministers who have
charge of churches, but are not pastors.

The Assembly, on consideration, deem it best to decline
making any change in the matter referred to.

Also,

Overture No. 17 was in-csentod from the Presbytery of Florida,
asking the erection of a "Synod of Florida," under certain conditions.

The Assembly declines granting the request of the over-
ture for want of satisfactory information in the premises,
and recommends to the Presbytery of Florida to make
known their wishes to the S3^nods of Georgia and Ala-
bama, and then prosecute or decline to prosecute the effort
to procure tlie erection of a S^-nod according to the result
of such application to the Synods of Georgia and Ala-
bama. Adopted.

Also,

Overture Xo. is, from Rev. J. W. Kerr and others of the Presby-
tery of Ouachita, complaining of the action of the General Assembly
of 187-5, pages 40 and 41, as extra constitutional and practically, in some
hands, offensive and alienating.

The Committee on Bills and Overtures recommend this
reply. The action complained of evidently arises from a
misapprehension of the purpose of said action, which sim-
ply provides for inquiring of church courts respecting their
diligence in affording the people opportunities for contri-
buting to our schemes of benevolence. Adopted.

The Auditing Committee presented the following report,
which was adopted :

The Auditing Committee liey leave to report that they have carefully
examined the books and accounts of the Treasurer and Secretary of
Education, and after nuich trouble, by comparing the two accounts,
find them both correct, and tlie balance in the Treasury correctly

1877.] GENERAL ASSEMBLY. 422

stated at five hundred and forty-six dollars and seven cents ($546 07).

The (Secretary's account is clearly and plainly stated, and the dis-
bursements sustained by proj^er vouchers.

The Treasurer's accounts are faulty in several particulars. The Au-
diting Committee of last year found errors against the Treasurer
amounting to $303 10. This sum should have appeared in this year'^
account, as a distinct item, next after the apparent balance of $o20 21
of last year ; instead of which it is credited as part of the receipts of
May and June, thus making the receipts of the churches appear to be,
for the year, $13,077 !)!), instead of $12,774 SO.

A nuniber of the disbursements of the Treasurer are not sustained
l)y vouchers, and but for the presence of the Secretary and his account,
in which these receipts from the Treasurer were acknowledged, your
Conmiittee would have been obliged to throw them out. In some cases
the Treasurer filed as vouchers cancelled checks drawn by himself on
his bank, payable to bearer, not endorsed by anybody, and, of course,
not vouchers.

Your Committee regret the necessity of making these criticisms, and
of calling the attention of the Treasurer to the importance of having
vouchers of his own for every paynaent.

Respectfully submitted,

The adoption of the report of the Committee was then

423 MINUTES OF THE [A. I).

moved, and was carried, one vote onh^ dissenting. The
report is as follows :

Tlie Judicial Committee', to v^hh-h was ivfoiTe-l the complaint of t!ie
llev. Dr. 8. J. Bainl, touchina- tlie action f^f tlv' Presbytery of East
Hanover, Avitli the accomjiany p:ij)ers, l)e.u- leave to report':

That in a statement ma-le to the Comnilttee, l)v the co?nplainant, he
admitted that he caused to he pul>lished in a recent number of the
Richmond Disjiafch a letter written l>v the llev. Dr. E. T. Baird, from
which, and the Recor<l of the proceedin,i>s of the said Presbytery, it
appears that the subject matter and the person named in said "proceed-
ings and in the complaint are the same ; that the Kt-v. Dr. E. T. Baird
has tiiken an appeal from tlie action of tlie Pres'ovterv of East Hanovei-
to the next superior Ja<licatory, the Synod of Vir,i>i'nia, and that the
matter of the appeal and (jf the c<»mplaint raise the same questions and
refer to the same cause and the same person.

In the opinion of the Committee, it is not proper for the General As-
sembly to take jurisdiction of the matter of a complaint, while the
same cause, embracing? the same matter, is pending in another judi-
catory, which has jurisdiction, l)y appeal, at the instance of the person
aggrieved. Wherefore, the Committee recommend that the comj^laint
be referred to the .Synoil of Virginia.

All of which is resi")ectfully submitted.

J. WooDROW,. Chairman.

It was made tlie first order of the day for to morrow to
hear the report of the Committee on the Book of Church
Order.

A recess was then taken until 8 o'clock P. M.

Wednesday Night, 8 o'clock.

The Assembly met after recess, and after preliminary
religious exercises, the report of the Standing Committee
on Snstentation was read by the chairman, the Rev. Dr.
Rutherford. Addresses were delivered, after which the
subject of the Committee's report was made the second
order of the day for to-morrow.

Adjourned until to-morrow morning at 9 o'clock ; closed
with prayer by the Rev. A. A. Morse, and the apostolic

benediction.

TnuKSDAY MoKNixG, 3Iay 24, 9 o'clock.

The Assembly met and engaged in religious exercises.
The minutes of 3'esterday morning were read and approved.

The order of the daj- was taken up, when the Rev. Dr.
Arm.strong, Chairman of the Committee, presented a report
concerning the Book of Church Order. After a full consid-
eration of the subject, but before a final disposal of the
report, it was resolved that the whole matter be recommitted
to the same Committee to j^repare an overture to be sent
down to the Presb^'teries, which shall distinctly state what

1877.] GENERAL ASSEMBLY. 42^

this Assembly has done an;! what it requires the Pi-esbjte-
ries to do. The report of the Committee, as amended, and
finally adopted, is as follows :

The Committee to wlioni Ava-i referred the reports of th.o Presljyteries
to the overture of the last General Assembly, submitting: to them the
Revised Book of Church Order, report :

What answers have been leeeived are mostly oflfiei:!l— a few, the
reports of commissioners to this Assembly respecting tiie action of
their several Presbyteries— from all the sixty-three Presbyteries on the
roll of the Assembly, except the Presbyterj' of Indian and the tv/o
small Presbyteries of Central Ohio and 8ao Paulo, in Brazil.

An examination of these answers shows that twenty-five Presbyte-
ries have adopted the Revised Book as it now stands, leaving thirty-
five that have not adopted. But of this thirty-five twenty express
approval of the Revised Book in the main, and ask that the work of
revision be continued ; whilst two only ask that the work may stop.
It will be remembered that the last General Assembly sent down the
Book, not specifically for adoption or rejection, but for the action of
the Presbyteries, without specifying what the nature of that action
should be ; your committee, therefore. Mould report that the action of
the Presbyteries, by an overwhelming majority, is in favor of prose-
cuting the work of revision, and uj^on the l^asis of the present revised
Book. How shall this work be don e ? The Presbyteries have suggeste d
two plans :

1. That the General Assembly^ shall call a convention, to meet at
some central point, at some suitable season during the coming year, to
whom the whole matter shall be committed, that they may, if possible,
perfect a Book of Church Order on the basis of the present Revised
Book, to be sent down for adoption or rejection by the Presbyteries
before the meeting of the next Assembly.

2. That the work be carried forward under the auspices of the Assem-
bly, as follows, viz : (1.) That certain articles in the Book upon which
there is known to be a difference of opinion in the Church, such as
that priniding for the demission of the ministry, and that determining
who shall vote in the election of pastor, shall be submitted to a distinct
antl separate vote in the Presbyteries. (2.) That this Assemlily amend
the Revised Book in certain particulars in whicli the reports of the
Presbyteries seem to indicate a general desire for amendment, and then
send down the Book, as thus amended, for the adoption or rejection of
the Presbyteries.

The last mentioned plan, in substance, is that which your committee
would recommend to the Assembly, not only because it avoids the
large expense in time and money, which is necessarily involved in the
other, but especially because it is thoroughly Presbyterian in its spirit,
and provides that the questions of real difficulty shall be decided bj' the
Presbyteries themselves, the proper bodies to decide such questions.
We make this recommendation the more conliikntly because a careful
examination of the answers — some of them very voluminous — sent up
by the Presbyteries to this Asseml>ly has disclosed the fact that outside
the six or seven points proposed to' l^e submitted to the direct vote of
the Presbyteries, there is reallj' very little difference of opinion in our
Church. Xine-tenths of the amendments suggested by the Presbyte-
ries are mere verbal amendments, affecting not the doL-rrine but tlie
style of the Book, and the consideration of them, we think, can be
provided for in a way which would secure the best possible result in
the end without occupying the time of this Assembly.

First Recommendation.

Your committee, for these reasons, recommend, first, that this Assem-
bly consider certain articles proposed to be suVnnitted to the Presbyte-
ries, to be separately voted upon J^y them, as follows, viz :

425 MINUTES OF THE [A. D.

1. Chapter 5, section 4, article 2, Form of Government, restricting
the right to vote in Presbytery in certain cases.

II. Chapter 5, section 7, Form of Government, of Ecclesiastical
Commissions.

III. Chapter 0, section 8, article 4, Form of Government, Electors of
Pastors.

(1.) This article as it stands in the Revised "Book of Church Order,"
printed at Richmond in 1876.

(2.) The article as adopted by the General Assembly at Memiihis,
viz: All communicating memlx'rs of the Chureli, in good and regular
standing, but no others, are entitled to vote in election of church offi-
cers in the churches to which they are respectively attached. In the
election of a pastor, when a majority of the electors cast their votes for
a candidate, he shall be considered elected; but a separate vote may
also be taken of the non-communicating adult members of the church
who are regular in their attendance on the common ordinances in that
congregation, and all other persons who regularly co)itribute to the
support of the pastor, in order to be laid Ijefore the Presbytery as a
representation of their desires in the iiremises.

(3.) All communicating members of the church in good and regular
standing, but no others, are entitled to vote in the election of pastors,
ruling elders and deacons; and when a majority of the electors cast
their votes for a person for either of these offices, he shall be considered
elected.

IV. Chapter 10, section 4, article -5, Form of Government — The ex-
amination rule, viz : Ministers seeking admission to a Presbytery are
to be examined on experimental religion, and also as touching their
views in theology and church government.

V. Chapter 12, article 1, Rook of Discipline — Judgment without pro-
cess,

VI. Chapter 12, article 2, Rook of Discipline — Transfer, in certain
circumstances, of a member from the class of communicating members
to that of non-communicants.

VII. Chapter 12, article 3, Book of Discipline— Demission of the
ministry.

Second Recommendation.

2. That the Assembly consider the following amendments to the
Revised Book :

FOIOI OF GOVKi:x:\[EXT.

and sent forth by the Church on his errand of mercy and love, he is
termed "missionary."

ber of article 7 : "When a minister is called to labor through the press,
or in any other needful work, it shall be incumlxJnt on him to make
full proof of his ministry by disseminating the Gospel for the edifica-
tion of the Church.

III. Chapter o, section 1, articles, after "is Moderator" insert "of
the session if there be one."

IV. Chai^ter 5, section 3, article 6, after " ruling elders " insert " and
when there is no pastor it may be convened by two ruling elders."

V. Chapter 5, section 4, article lo — Substitute for the whole : " Minis-
ters in good standing in other Presltyteries, or in any ecclesiastical
body witli which this Church has esfablished correspondence, being-
present at any meeting of the Presbytery, may be invited to sit and
deliberate as corresponding members. Also, ministers of like standing
in other evangelical Churches may l)e invited to sit as visiting breth-
ren. In all these cases it is proper for the Moderator to introduce them
to the Presbytery and give them the right hand of fellowship."

VI. C'hapter 6, section 4, article 1. strike out " the session shall hold
free conference with him, with reference to his vocation and obliga-
tion to accept the office."

then known to sui)port it, shall be served on the accused."

V. Chapter (5, article 15, after " the accused " insert " and the prose-
cutor shall close."

Third Mecommendation.

3. That the Revised Book as amended by this Assembly be referred
to a committee of five to revise the language and style of the same in
the light of the criticisms upon those points sent up to the Assembly
by the Presbyteries, and publish the same and send it down to the
Presbyteries.

It was made the order for to-niglit, at 8 o'clock, to hear
the report of the. Standing Committee on Puhlication.

Report was made by the Committee on Foreign Corres-
pondence, which was placed on the docket.

The second order of the da}^ was taken up, the report of
the Standing Committee on Sustentation, and after some
time spent in its consideration, the Assembly took a recess
until 8 o'clock to-nio-ht.

Thursday Night, 8 o'clock.

The Assembly met, and the unfinished business was
taken up, viz : the report of the Standing Committee on
Sustentation. The report was adopted, and is as follows :

427 MINUTES OF THE [A. D.

Tlie St;:iulini!: C'oiiniiittte on Sustentation rospcctfiiriy sriibniit to the
General Assembly the following report :

Having carefully examined the reiKjrt of the Secretaries of Susten-
tatio-n, with the accompanying i>apers, including the minutes of the
Executive Connnittee, the accounts of expendituits, etc., we have the
sileasure to say, not only that we tind them al; correct, but they evince
the most commendable tidelity and discretion on the part of the Com-
mittee in the management of the important interests committed to
their care.

This agency of the Church appeals especially to our j^rayerful regard
and liberal support in the fact that it embraces as many as five distinct
departments of our work, namely, the assistance of feeble churches in
the support of their ministers, the maintenance of missionaries and
evangelists, and the promotion of the work of Church extension ; giv-
ing the Gospel to the large colored population which Providence has
placed within our bounds ; providing for the support of aged and in-
tirm ministers, and, finally, the establishment of a Relief Fund for the
benefit of the families of deceased ministers. All of these objects are
intimately related to our life as a church, and we are hapjiy to know
that they are all very dear to the hearts of our people.

The Assembly fully recognizes the rights of the Presbyteries, and it
freely accords to them the privilege of discharging their duty in the
great work of Sustentation in Avhatever way may seem unto them best.
Yet, it cannot but regard with deep solicitude the fact that any of them,
and especially some of the oldest and strongest of them, are not in full
co-operation with the Assembly's plan. After years of jjractical and
successful operation, we have the pleasure to say that this plan, founded
in the prayers and wisdom of the Church at large, cannot be regarded
as an exjjeriment, V)ut hundreds of our feeble cliurclies rescued by it
from utter extinction now attest, in their increasing usefulness and
prosperity, the wisdom and necessity of such a scheme. But, under
God, our success in this great department of our work is largely de-
pendent on the hearty co-operation of all our Presbyteries ; and we
fondly hope that those'who have adopted a different method, by which
they are confining their work principally or entirely to their own
peculiar fields, may soon give their sujiport to the Assembly's ]3lan by
their hearty and thorough co-operation.

Notwithstanding the monetary stringency which has prevailed
throughout the land, it is gratifying to observe that there has been rfo
greater decrease in the collections for each of these objects during the
last year. And, though there has been a marked decline in the collec-
tions from the churches for the Invalid Fund, the contributions from
miscellaneous sources have sujoplied the deficiency, so that the amount
received is the same as in the last rejiort. But, nevertheless, the sad
fact remains, according to the statement of the Committee, that " a
very large portion of all the churches have failed to contribute to any
branch of the home work. Perhaps one-third have failed in the sup-
port of Sustentation ; full one-half have given nothing to the Evangel-
istic work, either in general or Presbyterial ; and more than one-half
have not contributed to the Invalid Fund." In view of the great im-
portance and pressing needs of these various objects, the Assembly
would repeat the solenm counsel and injunctions of former Assemblies
on this subject, and would lay it on the consciences of our peojile to
contribute to the support of "these objects, as the Lord may prosper
them. And, in the hope of awakening a deeper interest in'tlie cause
of 8ustentation and of inciting all to a greater liberality in its supi^ort,
the Assembly would direct the special attention of Presbyteries and
Sessions, and, through them, the attention of the Church at large, to
the following significant facts contained in the report of the Executive
Committee :

1. "A large proportion of our m'nistry. a'mist, if not quite, Iw.t-
thirds of them, wholly engage 1 in the w<iik of the Church, are living

1877.] GENERAL ASSEMBLY. 428

on very iiiadeciiuitc j^alarios, iiiul juust, in many cases, have their effi-
ciency niaterially interfered with on this account."

2. "A large number of our ministers, amountiair perliaps to two
hundred, do not apju-ar to he engaged in any fruitful ministerial Avork
at all, or, if at all, so irregularly, that they are not reported. And this
nuist be due, in a great measure, to the want of sui)port."

3. " There are over one-half, jirobably two-thirds, of all our churches,
when gi'ouped into pastoral charges, Avhich are unable, Avithout assist-
ance, to support the stated Ministry."

4. " Perhaps more than four hundred churches are at present va-
cant, because they cannot receive aid in support of the Ministry. These
simjile facts, together with the further fact that one hundred and sixty-
one organized churches have no house of worship, ninety of which are
suffering for the want of them, shf>w at once how much is needed to be
done, and how imperative is the duty resting on those Mho can help in
this work."

The Assembly recognizes \vith pleasure and thanksgiving the zeal
and liberality of the Ladies' Societies and Sabbath Schools in the sup-
port of the various objects of the Church, and Avould commend tliis
cause to them for a proportionate part of their contrilmtions.

The reported jirogress in the colored evangelistic Avork is highly
gratifying; and, feeling a very deejj interest and a peculiar responsi-
bility in this Avork, the Assembly would call on all our people to sus-
tain it by their personal efforts, their contriliutions and their prayers.

Owing to the increasing demand on the Invalid Fund, the great de-
cline in the collections from the churches for this object during the
past year, and the great obligation we are under thus to minister to
those upon Avhom its aid is so worthily bestowed, the hope is enter-
tained that it is only necessary to emphasize this part of the rejiort, and
thus to direct esi:)ecial attention to it.

In regard to the Relief Fund, your Conmiittee Avould make no addi-
tional recommendation, and would hope that as the scheme is better
understood and its benefits are niore fully appreciated, it may gain in
favor throughout the Church.

We recommend the adoption of the following resolutions :

1. Resolved, That the General Assembly expresses its perfect satis-
faction with the wisdom and lidelity with Avhich the Executive Com-
jnittee of Sustentation haA'e managed the important interests com-
mitted to their care, and commends them for the same.

2. Resolved, That the Presbyteries are exhorted to persevering and
faithful effort to cultivate in all our churches an increasiug interest in
this great work by enlisting their sympathies, their gifts and their
prayers.

Your Committee recom}nend that the General Assembly reaj^point
the former Executive Committee of Sustentation for the ensuing twelve
months, viz: Rev. J. Leighton Wilson, D. D., Secretary; Rev. Rich'd
Mclhvaine, D. D., Co-ordinate Secretary and Treasurer; Rev. J. A.
Lefevre, Rev. J. J. Bullock, D. D. . Rev. .1. G. Hanmer, D. D., Rev.

Friday Morning, 3Iay2i), 1877, 9 o'clock.

Tlie Assembly met and engaged in devotional exercises.
The minutes of ^Vednesda3' night and of yesterdaj- were
read and approved.

The Committee on Bills and Overtures reported on

OvEBTUBE No. 11, from the Presbytery of the Western District, aslv-
ing tlie Asseinl:)ly to take order for the reduction of the sahiries paid to
the Secretaries of tlie several Executive Committees. Your Connnittee
reco]nmend that tlie Presbytery be advised to present the .sul).ject to tlie
several Executive Connnittees, to whose attention it primarily Ijelongs.

The report was adopted.

The following paper was presented and ordered to be
entered upon the records :

The undersigned, niendjers of this Assembly who voted in the
minority, on the report of the Committee on Foreign Correspondence,
in re]ily to the paper received from the Brooklyn "Assembly, respect-
fully l)eg leave to record the following as our reasons for voting against
that report, viz :

1. That while we heartily concur in the ultimatum of the Baltimore
Connnittee of our Church, we are of the ojiinion that the action of the
Cleveland Assembly, substantially repealed by the Assemldy which
met in Broi>klyn in 1S7(3, effectually est^)ps us from further action upoii
this sul)ject, and that it is inconsistent a\ ith self-respect for this Assem-
bly to continue to press this ultimatum after its distinct and reiieated
declinature by the Northern Assembly.

2. That the further agitation of this question tends only to detract
from the spirituality of our Church.

3. We can Ijut regard the manner in which this question was hurried
to a vote, as an infringement of the privileges of the minority.

Respectfullv,

W. L. T. PRINCE,
H. H. BANKS,
B. M. FARRIS,
JAMES P. COFFIN.

The following protest was presented and ordered to be
placed on record :

The undersigned respectfully requests the Assembly to record his'
protest against so much of its deliverance in reply to Overture No. 7,
from the Presbyteiy of Atlanta, as relates to dancing, which protest is
made for the following reasons :

1. Because the Assembly, by condemning actions as actions which
may or may not involve an element of sin, weakens the force of its
own protests against real and acknoivledged wrong. -

2. Because, in the judgment of your protestant, this deliverance
contravenes Section 2, Chapter 20 Confession of Faith, which declares
that God alone is Lord of the conscience and hath left it free from the
doctrines and commandments of men which are in an^'thing contrary
to His Word or beside it, &c.

431 MINUTES OF THE [A. D.

The following resolution offered by the Rev. Dr. Arm-
strong was adopted :

RcsrJved, That the Couiinittoe of Publication be uirected to have the
Book of Cliurcli Order, as now revised, i)iiiited ; and as soon as practi-
cable to send a copy to each Minister and one to the session of each
(rhurch under the care of the Assembly.

It was made the order for this evening, at S o'clock, to
receive the Rev. Benjamin Jolmson, delegate from the
Reformed Episcopal Church.

The unfinished business was resumed, viz : the report on
Publication. It v/as ordered that in the further discussion
of this subject, the members of the Assembly shall be lim-
ited, each to five minutes.

A recess was taken until 8 o'clock to-night.

FniDAY NktIit, 8 o'clock.

The Assembly met. Mr. Alexander Hay was elected a
delegate to the Presbj^terian Alliance in the place of
Dr. Gordon, wiio had resigned, and the Rev. Messrs.
F. L. Ewing, A. Shot well, Rutherford Douglas, J. H.
Thornwell and H. H. Banks were elected as corresponding
members.

A letter v/as received from the Rev. Wm, S. Plumer, D.
D., reporting his attendance as a delegate appointed by
the last Assembl}^ to the General S^niod of the Reformed
Church. Also a letter from the Rev. John Douglas, re-
porting his attendance at the meeting of the Associate-
Reformed Synod of the South. These communications are
as follows :

To tJie General Assembly of the Prcahyterian Church in the United
States, in session at New Orleans:

Dear Brethren : At-reeal)ly to the appointment of the last Assem-
bly, I attended the annual meeting of the General H^vnod of the Re-
formed Church, held at Kingston, New York. The meeting Ava^s,
throughout, delightful. A large hospitality was extended bv the peo-
ple, and the members of the Synod showed'an excellent spirit.

I shall not detain you with 'particulars of their action, as the Rev.
Jacob Chamberlain, an eminent servant or Christ in the work of
iiiissions in India, is their delegate to your venerable body. He will
•lay bef(jre you full particulars. I bespe'ak for him the kindest possible
reception from all the brethren.

Allow me to make two remarks, suggested by my visit to the General
Synod. One is that correspondence bv delegates must be far more
pleasant and effective of good than anv correspondence bv writing
could possibly be. I have no doubt the Assembly will reacli this con-
clusion after becoming acquainted with Dr. Chamberlain. As to the
expense attending our present mode of correspondence, with a little
care and inquiry It may always be arranged so as to be no expense to
the Church. I present no bill for any expenses.

The other is, that I there met with'a delegate from the Reformed Epis-
copal Church. Hi< whole bearing and all h.is statements were of the

To the Rev. Moderator of the General Asmmhhj of the Prc^bi/terlan
Church in the United States, to meet in Neir Orleann May 17, 1877.

Rev. and Dear Sir: — I respectfully report, that, in compliance with
the appointment of the Assembly of last year, I attended as one of your
delegates, the Synod of the Associate Reformed Church of the South,
which met at Hopewell Cliurch, Chester District, S. C, September 22,
1870. My visit among them (oAving to providential circumstances,) was
very brief, and T greatly regretted the aljsence of my colleague, I. S. K.
Axson, D. D., whose i)resence and kind words would have contributed
nmch to the interest of our missions and to strengthening the fraternal
relations of the two Itodies, ali'cady so nearly the same in doctrine and
order. I Mas cordially greeted and hospitably entertained by their
body, and respectfully heard while delivering your christian and frater-
nal greetings to them — which was all I felt authorized to do — and was
responded to by their ^Moderator, iu a kind and christian spirit. Our
short intercourse was as pleasant every way as it well could have l)een.
They are a noble (though small) body of christians, and in my humble
opinion, it is much to be regretted a more intimate and enduring cou-
nection could not be formed l)etwixt them and ourselves. Not more
welcome was my introduction among them, than was the warm hand-
shaking I had Avith the whole hody on taking leave of them.

They appointed Rev. John ^Miller, D. D., of AUenton, Alabama, the
(principal) delegate from their Synod, to attend our Assemby in Xew
Orleans, 17th instant, and Rev. Calvin Pressly, Abbeville, ^Siississijipi,
his alternate.

Very respeetfully,

John Douglas.

The order for the evening was taken np, and the Rev.
Benjamin Johnson, of the Reformed Episcopal Church,
addressed the Assembl}^, bearing to it the cordial saluta-
tions and sympathy of the Church he represented. To
this address the Moderator made an appropriate response.

Tlie Committee on Bills and Overtures reported Overture
No. 19, which was adopted, and is as follows :

Ovkrtukf; Xo. 10. — A connuunication from the "Presbyterian His-
torical Society," asking the attention of this Assend)ly to its claims.

The Connnittee respectfully recommend the adoption of the follow-
ing reply : The Assembly reiterates its cordial recognition of the
claims of the " Presbyterian Historical Society," and earnestly com-
mends to Presbyteries, pastors and members of our churches, all proper
eflibrts for securing contributions of historical matter to the library of
the society, and of means to promote its laudable puri)oses in establish-
ing a suitable receptacle for tlie safe preservation of the books and
other documents jilaced iu its care.

The report of the Standing Committee on Sabbath

433 MINUTES OF THE [A. R-

Schools was presented by the chairman, the Rev. L. C.
Vass, and was adopted. " The report is as follows :

In the above coini)ilation are included oo I'nion scliools, end)racing
lol teachers and l,<llt) scliolars, and 8 colored schools scattered through
six Presbyteries, and containing oO teachers and o3o scholars, aiul con-
tributing for their own use ^'.Hi.

Tlie following seven Presbyteries, witli tlieir 154 churches, send no
rei)orts, viz: Central Ohio, ^lulilenburg, Transylvania, North Ala-
bama, North Mississijipi, Tombeckbee ami Sao Paulo.

Of our 1,821 cliurclies, only 9:57 make any report. Thus 884 churclies,
nearly one-half of our wliole number, are delimiuent.

There are reported l,lft(> more teachers and 8,748 more scholars on
the rolls tlian last year. This arises chietly from tlie large number of
churches reporting their scliools. The actual advance during tlie year
was only 142 teachers and 1,387 scholars, which falls shoi't of the pro-
gress made in 1876.

A very large number of the reports are lamentably tk'ticient in statis-
tics and general information al)out the Sabl)ath School'work. In about
one-third of the documents the Cf)lumns of statistics were not footed
up, and the labor of completing the reports of the Presbyterial Com-
mittees fell ujion your Committee. Some of the reports have neither
the name of the Presbytery nor tlie Stated Clerk, and Ave had to trace
them by the churches named therein. Many of these serious defects
seem to arise from the inexcusable failure of the Stated Clerks and Ses-
sions to provide themselves with the proi)er Idaiik forms prei)are<l for
these reports by our Committee of PubIicatio)i.

Many of the churches are co-operating in union schools, whicli are
•iiot reported ; but most of the teachers in these schools, in many cases,
are Presbyterians. Complaints are made, however, that fre<iuently
the desire to have a large school has interfered with making it distinc-
tively Presbyterian.

The reports do not show that activity in Sabbath School work, and
that higli estimate of its great value to the Church's mission to save
souls, that this grand and sanctified agency demands of all christians.

Neither the Ch'ddren^x Friend nor tlie Earnc><t Worker are generally
taken. The shorter Catechism is almost universally taught. No uni-
formity exists in the books used in teadiing. Separate preaching to
the children is fretpient, but not general. A large number of the
scliools are under direct sessional control, or are attended by the elders.

1877.1 GENERAL ASSEMBLY. 434

It is to bo Iniuentod that the Holy Scriptures of diod are not more k^u-
<rally luemori/.ed by the youth.

In view of the facts ah-eady recited, your Committee recommend
that the Assemi)ly adopt the followinj;' resohitions:

I. That Presbyteries be again enjoined to use all judicious efforts to
secure more faitiiful reports, after the regular i)reseribed form, from
every church under their authority.

II. Tlie (Jeneral Assemljly lieartily commends the increased activity
luauifested in several Presbyteries in the establishment of 8abl>atii
schools for the colored iieople, and hereby most earnestly exhorts our
Presbyteries and churches to prosecute zealously this good work where-
ever God opens the door.

III. That the Presbyteries should especially emphasize and encour-
age the performance of 'the duty of afTectionate and diligent training of
the children of the Church to understand and c<mtribute regularly and
<heerfully to all the benevolent operations of the Church.

IV. That we heartily conniiend the Children's Friend and the
Earnest Worker as valuable aids in the prosecution of our .Sabbath
School work.

V. That the Overture from the Presbytery of Nashville, asking for
•an additional line or column to the Sabbath School blank report, to
inquire whether " the school is held all the year round or only during
summer," be answered in the negative, as the jireseut form seems suffi-
I'ient to cover the ground.

The consideration of the nntinished business was re-
sumed and continued until the Assembly adjourned. Ad-
journed until to-morrow morning at 0 o'clock. Closed
with prayer by the Rev. Mr. Hazen.

Satukday Mokning, Jf«?/ 26, 9 o'clock.

The Assembly met, and engaged in religious exercises.
'" The minutes of yesterday were read and approved. The
unfinished business of yesterday (viz : the report on Pub-
lication) was taken up, and after some progress, the sub-
ject was postponed and made the order for 12 o'clock M.
this day.

A report from the Judicial Committee was presented and
adopted, and is as follows :

The committee to which was referred the complaint of Rev. .1. W.
Canfield against certain proceedings of the Synod of Kentu"bky, liave
considered the same, and beg leave to report that the matter presented
by this complaint for the revision of the Assembly arises u])on a part
of the judgment of the Synod of Kentucky, rendered upon the consid-
eration of an appeal of complainant from the Presbytery of Louisvilld^.
In this complaint and in the petition which alleges the ground of com-
plainant's apjieal from the proceedings of the Presbytery of Louisville
against him, many apparent grievances against the action of the Synod
and of the Presbytery, and the conduct of certain menxbers of the Pres-
bytery, are set forth.

In the statement of this complaint and the references which it makes
there is much confusion, and it is ditficult to ascertain precisely the
object of complainant in coming before this Assembly. This Assembly
has no power to render any general relief in the premises, as complain-
ant seems to think, nor would it be jiroper, in this or anj' other case, to

set u!»iile the judgiueut of an inferior court, unless tliere l>o clear and
sutisfactory evidence that such judgment is eiToneous, or that it ought
to bo reversed for some reason laid down in the For)u of Government.

From an examination of the papers submitted to us, viz: the state-
ments of the complainant and the record of the Synod of Kentucky,
it appears that the Synod carefully considered all the matters at issue
between the cojui)laij)ant and the I'resbytery of Louisville ; that the
im>st material part of the sentence, and really the only matter at issue,
■was in favor of tlic comi^lainant.

The refusjil of tlie Synod to censure the Presl>ytery of Louisville was
a matter entirely discretionary with the Synod, and Ave see nothing- iu
it for the Assembly to set aside or disapprove.

The committee therefore reconmiend that the comi>laint be dis-
nussed.

All M'hich is respectfully submitted,

J. WooDROW, Chalnnan.

The Auditing Committee presented the following reports,
which were adoj)ted :

The Auditing Committee })eg leave to report that they have exam-
ined the rejiort of the Treasurer of the Board of Trustees of the General
Assendjly, which report shows an exi^enditure (hiring the year of
ifiiil 20, consisting of two items, to wit: the traveling expenses of the
President, amounting to §7 40, and of the Secretary and Treasurer,
amounting to §13 80, incurred by these ofHcers respectively in their
attendance upon the sessions of the General Assembly of 1S7(>. For
these disbursements the Treasurer i^resents to your committee no
vouchers ; but as it appears from the minute book of the Board of Trus-
tees that this report, in whicli these credits are claimed, was read and
adopted by that Board of which the parties to whom these amounts are
claimed to have been paid are members, your committee consider the
fact of these payments sutHciently substantiated. They therefore report
the l)alance in the hands of the Treasurer as correctly stated by him to
be (S62 87) sixty-two dollars and eighty-seyeu cents.

The report further shows that during the j'ear the Treasurer has
received from Bev. 3t. Mcllwaine, D. D., Treasurer, (3,000) three
thousand dollars of the bonds of the city of Norfolk, Va., issueil on
behalf of the water Avorks of that city, making the total investment in
the name of the Relief Fund (?21,000) twenty-one thousand dollars,
and that the interest on all these bonds, as it falls due, is regularly
collected by the Treasurer and paid over to Dr. Mcllwaine as Treasurer
of Sustentation.

The Auditing Committee have examined carefullj* and laboriously
the books of account and vouchers of tlie Treasurer of the Assembly's
Committee of Publication, which have been quite recently submitted
to them, but have not been able, in the sliort i^eriod allowed them, to
attain a result entirely satisfactory to themselves. The manner in
which the books were kept has rendered the task of examination more
ditficult than it would otherM'ise have been, and your committee would
recommend some more simple method of book7keeping to those in
charge of these trust funds of tlie Church.

Your Committee find the receipts, including a balance from last year
of !p83S 02, to be correctly stated in the Treasurer's PvCjjort at 5-10,2111 US.
They find the amount of disbursements substantiated by vouchers, to-
be SilT,;^;)!) 90, and that the Treasurer should hiive in his hands, instead
of the balance of three thousand four hunded and sixty dollars and
eighty-two cents, (s3,400 82) Avhich he places upon his report, the
amount of twenty-two thousand eight hundred and forty-one dollars
and seventy-two cents, (.?22,841 72) that being the difference between
the above stated total receipts and the total of those disbursements
sustained by vouchers as ascertained by your conmiittee.

It is proper to state in this connection, that the accounts of the Treas-
urer of Publication, appear to have been fully vouched when they
were examined, as they appear to have been, by the Committee in
Richmond, but the vouchers, except as stated, have not come into the
hands of the Auditing Committee. The Committee also report that
the balance due the Treasurer on account of the Publishing House, is
correctly stated to be three thousand and sixteen dollars and thirty-
nine cents (!^3,016 39.)

The Auditing Committee also made a report pertaining
to the general management of the linancial affairs of all
our Executive Committees, which was placed on the docket.

The report of the Standing Committee on Theological
Seminaries was read by the Kev. W. N. Dickey. A min-
ority report in relation to part iv. (viz : the Revised Con-
stitution of Columbia Theological Seminary), was pre-
sented, and a motion was made for its adoption. This
motion prevailed, upon a count of the house, by a vote of
79 to 12, which being the number required (two-thirds) in
making a change in the Constitution of the Theological
Seminary at Columbia, the said minority report was de-
clared to be adopted. The further consideration of the
report was then postponed for the present.

437 MINUTES OF THE [A. D.

After a recess of thirty minutes, the Assembly resumed
business. The following resolution was adopted :

Ecsolved, That in the conduct of the Sahbath schools, no matter
wliat system of le-sons may be used, it is earnestly enjoined ujion aur
Church Sessions to see to it that not only the greitt truths of the Gos-
pel, about which all evangelical denominations are agreed, but also the
distinctive doctrines of the Presbyterian Church, are faithfully taught.

The unfinished business, viz : the report of the Commit-
tee on Theological Seminaries, was taken up, and part
second, concerning Columbia Theological Seminar}'-, and
part third, concerning a Theological school for colored peo-
ple at Tuskaloosa, were adopted. The remaining part,
l^ertaining to Union Theological Seminary, and then the
whole report was adopted, and is as follows :

The Committee ou Theological Seminaries Avould respectfully submit
to the General Assembly the following report, to wit :

I.— UXION' THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY.

In the report of this seminary the number of students (sixty-two) is
gratifying; but it is alarming to' observe that the number is decreasing,
seniors 2(j, middles 22, juniors 14. Should this descending scale con-
tinue there Avill s(Kjn l)e no sui)ply of ministers from tliis lieloved
school of the prophets. It is also to be dei)reciited, that only one-half
of the members of the senior class received certiticates fr(»m the faculty
of having complete<l the full course of study in the seminary, and of
having jiassed satisfactory examinations. Tliis arises chiefly'from the
i30mmendable efforts of the authorities to elevate the standard of schol-
arship. But whatever be the explanation, it is to be regretted. The
healthy condition of the tiiumces, as exhibited in the report, the char-
acter and deportment of the students, the increase of the library, the
excellent methods of examination, and esi)ecially the proposed instruc-
tion in elocution and sacred vocal inusic, are noted with great i)leasure.

The Asseuddy would earnestly conuneml this institution, in all its
interests, management and work, to the Churcli.

II.— COLUMBIA THEOLO(JICAL SEMINARY.

The Board of Directors and Faculty of the Theological Seminary at
<Jolund)ia, South Carolina, have presented a full rei)ort, from which we
glean the following facts, viz :

During the past year there have been twenty-five students in atten-
dance—seniors nine, nuddles nine, juniors seven. This number Avould
have been larger but for the extreiiie financial depression tliroughout
the entire country preventing several, who were otherwise prepared,
from entering the seminary, thus delaying their further progress for a
season. The students have all shown'commendable zeal in the prose-
cution of their studies, and the utmost harmonv has prevailed. The
faculty have conducted the exercises of the seiiiinary with regularity
:svnd faithfulness, the duties (tf the vacant professorship Inning beeii
<livided among the other i)rofessors.

The finances of this seminary are not in as favorable a condition as
they were at the- last report. 'Failures to jiav interest due on some of
the investments, and tlie reduced value of otliers, have rendered it im-
possible to meet the actual necessary expenses of the institution during
the past year. For the imiuediat'e relief of this veneralile school of
the iirophets, the committee would rcconnuend the folloMing:

1. That the Board of Directors, Ity authority of the Assembly, ap-
portion approximately, according to s'trengtli, the deficit, about &'2,r,()(),

among the Synods not already conunitted to the support of LTuiou Tlieo-
logical Seminary, and urge tliem to come to the innuediate relief of its
present wants.

'2. That the Board of Direetors be instructed to renew measures, if
practicable, to so increase tlic endowment that these financial ditH-
♦•ulties shall not again occur.

3. That owing to the straightened linaneial condition of the se)n-
jnary, the existing vacancy in the faculty be not filled at present.

4. That the churches be urged to extend a liberal and constant sup-
port to this institution, and give to it freely, not only of their means,
but their prayers, their confidence and their patronage.

•5. That the following named members of the Board of Directors,

Avhose term of otfice lias expired, be re-elected, vi/: Mr. Henrv Muller,

< of Columbia ; Rev. John Douglas, of Charlotte, North Carolina ;

Mr. James W. Bones, of Rojne, Georgia ; and Col. J. J. Gresham, of

Macon, Georgia.

111. — TUSKALOOSA IXSTITUTK FOK COI.OKKD MKN.

This Conunittee has also fully examined and considered the report of
Rev. C. A. Stillman, D. D. , Superintendent of the Institute for the
Education of Colored Candidates for the Ministry ; an overture from
Tuskaioosa Presbytery in relation tliereto, and other papers upon the
same subject, and would respectfully report as follows :

We rejoice to commend the fidelity, the zeal and self-sacrificing
labors of Rev. C. A. Stillman, D. D., and Rev. A. F. Dickson, whom
he -has associated witli himself, in furthering tJiis important work.
The jNIaster only can reward them, and we are glad to believe that it is
the will of God that their names shall be inscril)ed on the foundation
stones of an institution that shall last as long as there remains a col-
ored element in our population.

In view of the great importance of the subject, and the manifest
leadings of Providence, we recommend the following action, to wit:

1. Tliat an Executive Conunittee, to consist of a Secretary and four
members, one of whom shall be, ]»y said Conunittee, elected Treasurer,
he now appointed, clothed with i>owers, and subject to restrictions in
every respect similar to the other Executive Conunittees of tlie Assem-
bly, to be called the Executive Conunittee for the ICducation of a Colored
]Ministry.

2. That this Conunittee shall be charged Avith the duty of devising
and executing, in accordance with existing restrictions on other Ex-
♦icutive Committees, all that shall be useful to estal)lish on a permanent
basis a suital)le institution for the education of a colored ministry, and
to do such other work as the General Assembly shall from time to time
direct, for the evangelization of this element of our i)Oi)ulation.

3. That tliis Committee be locak'd at Tuskaioosa, Alabama, and the
names of the following persons are proposed to constitute said Com-
mittee, viz: Rev C. A. Stillman, D. I)., Secretary; W. P. Webb,

Jonathan Bliss, J. T. Searcy and R. D. Webb.

4. That this Executive Conunittee i>repare, and report to the next
dleneral Assembly for its action, a complete constitution and by-laws
for itself, aiul for the institution over which it is to be placed.

5. That the Presbyteries l)e again earnestly urged to consider this
whole subject, in view of this action of the Assembly, and to co-opex'-
ate with the P^xecutive Committee in carrying out the work as-
signed it

6. Tliat for the present the support of candidates for the juinistry at
this institute be provided for through the Presbyteries having such
candidates under care, as such bodies shall devise, and tluit Presby-
teries haviiig no colored candidates of their own, or having a surplus

43'J MINUTES OF THE [A. D.

of funds for tliis j)urp()se, shall sonil their contribution or surplus to the
Treasurer of the Committee, to be invested or disbursed by it under
tlie rules to be adopted for its action.

7. That in addition to the annual reports of this Committee to the
General Assembly, it lie re(iuired to send to all the Presliyteries having-
candidates, or contributing- fumls, a senn-annual report", on the 1st of
March and 1st of Septemlier of each year, setting forth the deportment
and progress of their candidates, and the disbursement of the funds,

S. That the whole Church be most earnestly and affectionately urged
to look Avith favor on this work, and to liberally aid it Mit'h their
prayers, their influence and their means. And iniisnuich as this work
is in its infancy, it is not inappropriate to add that contributions are
greatly needed for its general support, as well as for the support of the
students.

9. That the first Sabbath of December, or as soon thereafter as prac-
ticable, be ai)i)ointed for the annual collections for this object, to be
taken up in wluitever way shall seem best to each particular church.

The recommendation of the majority of the Committee was stricken
out, and the following adopted, as presented by the minority, viz :
That article o of the revised Constitution be amende. I by striking out
the word "now," and inserting in lieu thereof th3 phrase "at the
time of the adoption of this Constitution," and that, as thus amended,
said revised Constitution be placed before the Assembly for adoi^tiou,
in accordance with the requirements of existing laws.

The revised Co)istitution was then adopted, as thus amended, by the
vote mentioned above.

The order of the day, viz : the report of the Committee
on Publication, was taken up, whereupon the Rev. James
K. Hazen was elected as Secretary of Publication, and then
the whole report was adopted, and is as follows :

The Standing Committee on Publication to Avhicli was referred the
following papers, viz : The sixteenth Annual Report of the Executive
Committee of Publication: the records of the Committee and books of
subscription to the cause of Publication, &c.; au overture from the
Presbytery of Bethel ; a memoi-ial from certain members of Mecklen-
burg Presbytery, and a letter from J. Miller, all relating to the cause of
Publication: have carefully considered these papers and documents
and have examined into the present condition of the linances of the
Committee of Publication, and would respectfully report that the books
are in such a condition that it is absolutely impossible for us to ascer-
tain the exact state of the case. The following is an approximate
statement of the assets and liabilities as we find them in the minute
book.

The last three items are represented as losses sustained through E.

§^22,408 87.

The books have been so kept that Ave cannot now ascertain whether
all the above }nentioned losses liave been sustained l)y tlie general
business, or Avhether a part of them belongs to the building fund. We
are unable to determine the facts in the case because a portion of the
money Avas ncA'er entered upon the Treasurer's books. The Committee,
Ave are informed, ha\'e already secured the sum of S12,0U(\ in hand, and
$3,<K)0 dollars in pledges, to repair the loss. Under the circumstances,
the Executive Connnittee deserve and should receiA'c the hearty tJianks
of the Church for their i)ronii)t and successful ettbrt in this matter.

Your Connnittee Avould reconnnend the adoption l)y the Assejnidy
of the folloAving resolutions, coA-ering the points referred to in the
memorial ami oA-erture, as Avell as those found in the boolvs and report
of the ExecutiA'e Conmiittee.

1. The Assembly expresses its sympatliy with the Connnittee in the
embarrassing circumstances through Avhich it has passed ; a]iproA'es
its action in maintaining the hfnior and purity of our l)eloA'ed (!hureh,
by assuming to pay tlve liabilities incurred ))y the late Secretary, and
commends its fidelity and zeal in obtaining money to i)ay these losses.

2. That tlie Executive Connnittee be instructed to carry on the sale,
as Avull as the publisliing of Iwoks l>y contract, if it ))e found practica-
ble to effect such contra^-t.

3. That the Committee be instructed to dispose of the rublishing
House as soon as this can be done Avithout unnecessary sacrifice of A'alue,
unless means are raised, Avithin a reasona))Ie time to liquidate the debt
UOAV resting upon it.

4. That the Earnest Worker shall hereafter be published monthly,
and dcA'oted exclusively to the exposition of Scripture Lessons and
other subjects promotiA'e of Sa1)bath School Avork. The Children's
Friend is commended to the more lil^eral patronage of our Sabbath
Schools.

5. The restrictions as to the terms nil whicli llie ifu'dieations of the
Connnittee are sold, are hereby reinoved, and the Avhole subject left to
the discretion of the ExecutiA'e Committee.

6. That in the judgment of the Asseml)ly the ExecutiA-e Committee, by
introducing the changes indicated in their report, may prosecute its
work Avith greatly reduced expenses and acco]ni>lish much good for the
Church. \Ve recommend our churches and all our i)eoitIe to assist the
Connnittee in its laudable efforts to raise a sum of money sulticient to
meet the emergency caused by the loss recently incurred and to protect
the honor and good name of the Church.

APPENDIX.

NARRATIVE OF THE STATE OF RELIGION.

The Committee aj^pointed to prepare a Narrative of the State of
Religion within the hounds of this Asi-embly would respectfully re-
port:

That from a careful survey of the liehl, l)rou£rht under review by the
reports from tifty-seven Presljyteries, we discover abundant cause for
encouragement, and earnest thanksgiving to God. Your Committee
has been aware of the diiticulty of preparing a faithful report on this
matter of such deep interest to the Assembly, and, for this very reason,
we have endeavored to use the more caution in drawing our infereuces
from the data furnished by the Presby terial reports ; and although it
has involved much time and labor to read and compare tlie various
pai>ers placed in our hands, we beg leave to record our sincere gratifi-
cation in beiu^ thus privileged to walk through the length and breadth
of our beloved Zion and to mark her bulwarks.

We would be glad, were it practicable, to present to this Assembly
all the matters of interest that have been brought before the eye of the
Committee, for we are persuaded that our Church needs to be seen in
all her borders in order to be duly estimated ; but we must condense
our report untler the two general heads: First — the preaching or
ministration of the Word, and, secondly, the results of this ministra-
tion in the Church and in the world.

1. In regard to the ministration of the Word of God, it is matter
for devout thanksgiving that at least four-flfths of the Presbyteries re-
port that their churches have been more fully supplied with the
preached word and the ordinances of the Church than has been the
case for years past. This result seems to have been accomplished by
the grouping of several feeble churches under one pastorate, and by
the devotion and diligence of the evangelist. And, again, there seemed
to your Committee reason for encouragement in regard to those Pres-
byteries where great spiritual destitutions prevail, because of the
earnest appeal tliey make to the Church at lai'ge for help, showing
their determination to have a preached gospel in their desert places, if
they can, by any means, enlist the aid and symjiathy of their chris-
tian brethren. This loud Macedonian cry for help your Committee
would here reiterate, with tlie sincere hope that our "beloved Church,
which is disj^ensing with a liberal liand the bread of life to the heathen
world, Avill not be indifferent to the cries of her own cliildren when they
beg for the " sincere milk of the word."

Tlie necessity resting vqion the Church to give more earnest heed to
these api^eals for lielp will at once appear, as Ave consider our second
general division of this report, viz : The results of the lueached word
in the Church and in the world. And here we would say, could our
whole Church ))ut see with the eye of j-our Committee the great con-
trast lietween those parts of the "moral vineyard, which have enjoyed
4

the stated means of grace and those which have been without tJiese
jiieans, the conchision must be reached, that the question as to the
state of reUgiou within the bounds of tliis Assembly really hinges on
The answer to another inquiry : Have the Presbyteries been well sui>
l)lied with the -preached gospel? Those Presbyteries that have been
better suj^plied during the jjast year than fon'nerly (and let it be re-
mend )ered that the great majority report this hopeful fact) bring before
you these encouraging fruits : 1. There is a deejier earnestness among
the ministers, and in the Church, that the work of the Lord may be
done well, 2. While there are loud comjilaints from some Presbyteries
of too much conformity to the world on the part of God's professed
l^eople, yet it appears that, in most of our churches, there is a faithful
recognition' of that solemn covenant Avhich separates from the world.
.'3. Our churches have made progress in the matter of worshipping God
Avith their substance, and although their offerings cast into the treas-
ury of the Lord may not be larger than in former years, yet we believe
tliat they have been more characterized by that spirit of self-sacrifice
which alone can render them Avell-pleasing unto God. 4. The ministers
of the word take a lively interest in the land»s of the fold, giving to
them their portion in the distribution of the rich provision made by the
good shepherd for the lambs as well as the sheep of his pasture. 5. All
the Presbyteries that liave enjoyed the abundant ministrations of the
word declare a gracious ingathering of souls into the Redeemer's king-
dom— not by extraordinary religious services, but by the earnest ahd
prayerful use of tlie ordinary methods for bringing the truth of God to
the solemn attention of those unto whom the word has been merci-
fully sent. 6. There have been but few cases reported requiring the
severe discipline of the Church, and from this fact we infer that the
members of our Church are, in the main, free fi-om all those flagrant
transgressions which bring reproach on the cause of our Lord.

Your Committee cannot, without being tedious, dwell on the picture
presented by those Presl>yteries that claim our sympathy and help,
because of great spiritual (lestitutions ; and, therefore, we nuist content
ourselves with raying that their spiritual condition is almost the exact
reverse of that just presented. There are sad complaints of the utter
neglect of family religion, a disregard of the sanctity of the Lord's
day, and of those obligations and restraints Avhich characterize those
commuirities blessed with the regular ministrations of the word and
ordinances of Clod's house. So truly have the various reports revealed
the fact that the measure of gospel ordinances measures the spiritual
condition of the particular field, that your Committee lieg leave to call
si>ecial attention to that which we all know, but which is too often lost
sight of— that God lias linked His grace with His word, and no man
may dissever them.

And, in conclusion, we would say, that while it is not with us alto-
gether as we desire, yet there is much to encourage our hearts, and we
are assured, from the evidences l)efore us, that He who walks in
the midst of the golden candlesticks has not withheld from us the
gracious tokens of His favor and acceptance.

pleasure in stating, botli from their own observation, and from infor-
mation derived from otliers, tluit tlie deiiortment, Ijabits of study and
projiress of the students in attendance have been sueli as to merit
the apin'oliation of tlie friends of tlie Seminary.

Tlie numl)er of students (hiring tlie session has been twenty-five.
We had hoi)ed tliat the number would have been larger, but the' strin-
gency of pecuniary matters has been such as to jtevent the presence of
more.

The JJoard is s<»rry to rejiort that the financial affairs of the .Seminary
are not in as favorable a condition as they were at your last meeting.
Some of the investments have ceased to i>ay any interest, and others
have been diminished as to the rate, so that there will be difficulty in
meeting the expenses of the Institution. These failures and din;inu-
tions are not from any neglect of the Board, but from the general
shrinkage of iiroperty and values prevailing through the whole country.
The Board would, theref<n'e, ask the (General Asseinby to aid, as far as
in their poAver, in providing for the supjjort of the Seminary. They
also hope that the Churches wall be moved to show lil>erality as here-
tofore to this School of the Prophets.

The terms of the following Directors will expire at the ensuing liieet-
ing of the General Assembly, viz: Rev. John Douglas, Henry Muller,

REPORT OF THE FACULTY OF THE THEOLOGICAL SEill-
XARY AT COLUMBIA. SOUTH CAROLINA.

To the General Assemhly of the Presbyterian Church in the United
States, to meet atXeio Orleans on the third Thursday in May, 1877 .•

The Faculty of the Theological Seminary at Columbia report to the
General Assembly that there have been twenty-five students in attend-
ance upon our instructions during the year past. That the classes have
not been larger is due in part to tlie extreme depi'ession of this portion of
our Southern country, the Avant of means on the part of those who
have completed their studies in college, obliging them to delaj' their
further progress for a season, and to the diminished resources or extinc-
tion of preparatory institutions that once were sources of supply to our
schools of theology.

The names of the students are as follow^s :

Senior C'toss— William Boyd, of Industry, Texas, graduate of Austin
College and candidate of the Presbytery"of Brazos ; M. C. Britt, of
Cxriffin, Ga., graduate of Davidson College and now licentiate of the

Of the students reported last year, Mr. T. J. Home, Des Arc, Ark.,^
and Mr. R. P. Smith, of Reidville, S. C, did not return to the Semi-
nary, and Mr. E. J. Mundy, of Rahway, N. J., was dismissed during
the summer at his own request.

The health of the students, with one or two exceptions, has been
good during the year. Their deportment has accorded with their
profession as Christian men, preparing for the holy office of the Gospel
ministry, and their general devotion to study has been worthy of
all praise.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES AND DIRECTORS OF
UNION THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY IN VIRGINIA.

The Trustees and Directors liaving held their annual meeting on the
10th and 11th #f April, 1877, submit to the Assembly and to the Synods,
this their

REPORT.

The attendance of Trustees at the annual meeting Avas full. Mr. .1.
Harman Brown, of Baltimore, wlio was appointed a Director from the
Presbytery of Chesapeake by the Synod of Virginia, was elected a
Trustee, and having (jualifled in tlie mode j^rescribed by the law, ai>
peared and was enrolled.

The whole number of students during the term of lS76-'77, was sixty-
two. Of this number fourteen were in the Junior class, twenty-two in
Middle class, and twenty-six Seniors. Ten students, at the' time of
matriculation, were not under Presbyterial care.

The usual certificate of having completed the full course of study in
the Seminary and having passed satisfactory examinations, were award-
ed to the following members of the Senior class, to wit: Isaac N.
-Campbell, Virginia; Patt. R. Law, Nortli Carolina; James H. Mc-
•CoAvn, Virginia; "NVm. L. McLellaud, North Carolina; Edmund M.
Munro, North Carolina ; James A. Ramsey, North Carolina ; John •
RufT, Jr., Virginia; Robert De. L. Stinson, North Carolina; Wm. L.
Trimble, Missouri; Goodridge A. Wilson, Virginia; Samuel K. Winn,
Georgia; Wm. H. AVoods, Kentucky, and Chas. W. Johnson, Virginia.

No general sickness has at any time during the term prevailed, and
but one case of serious illness has occurred. For the first time, in the
history of the institution, there was a death among the students during
the session ; Mr. Archie C. Dalton, of North Carolina, under the care of
the Presbytery of Orange, and a member of the Junior class,, died on
the 19th of September, 1876, after a brief illness. His end was one of
great peace, showing forth abundantly the sustaining power of divine
grace.

The finances are in a favorable condition. For details, on this and
other matters of interest, the Assembly and Synods are referred to the
report of the Secretary and Treasurer hereto appended.

One hundred and fifteen volumes have been added to the library,
during the past year. The whole number of volumes amounts to about
ten thousand five hundred.

The method of written examinations, (combined with oral,) has been
adopted, with satisfactory results, both as furnishing a more accurate
and reliable test of the attainments of the students, and stimulating
them to closer and more thorough work. The Trustees proi)ose to
make permanent arrangements, if practicable, for instriiction in elocu-
tion and sacred vocal music.

We give thanks to God for the manifold tokens of His favor, vouch-
-•afed to the Seminary in the past, and, for its future, Ave humbly
recognize our dependence on His grace and goodness.

By order of the Trustees,

J. Rumple, President.

FIRST REPORT OF THE SUPERIXTEXDEXT OF THE IN-
STITUTE FOR THE EDUCATION OF COLORED CANDI-
DATES FOR THE MINISTIiY.

One year ago the General Assemldy authorized the establisinnent
of an Institute for the Education of Colored Candidates for the Minis-
try, with especial reference to the building up of the African Presby-
terian Church. It was located at Tuskaloosa, Alabama, and i)laced

under tlu -ui)ervir<ion of tlie uiidt'i'sigiKHl, wlio was " authorized to
e)ni:)loy a . suitable assistant who should be the teacher of the Eiij>lish
department," and to Avliom was eonlided, in conueetitm Avith the Ex-
ecutive Connnittee of Education, the whole matter of raising funds for
the sui-jx/rt of the Institute.

Not being prepared to al)andon my i)astoraI charge and give my
Avhole time to tills undertaking, nor yet being Avilling to decline the-
appointment and thus defer the whole enterprise, the Assembly not
naming any alternate nor i)roviding for the appointment of one, I at
once i^roceeded to seek an assistant who should be competent tf) con-
duct all the necessary instruction. It was thought, at first, that a
young man capa1»le of teaching the English elementary branches would
hieet the wants of the first year; but it was discovered that the candi-
dates, l)eing in dit!:erent stages of study, would need a more ex-
perienced and thoroughly furnished scliolar, who could teach all
branches included in the entire course. AVith the advice of the Ex-
ecutive Committee of Education and of various brethren of high
repute in the Church for Avisdom, the appointment of teacher or pro-
fe.ssor was given to the Eca-. A. F. Dickson, then of Chester, South
Carolina, a ripe genei-al scholar, fully able to teach cA-ery department,
and a man well knoAvn to cherish a deep interest in the .spiritual Avel-
fare of the colored peojjle and of abundant laliors in their behalf.

Xo i)ledges Avere made of any fixed salary Ijeyoml the effort to raise
Sl,500 per annuin, and relying on the liberality of the churches. With
this uncertainty, our brother Avas Avilling to enter upon this arduous
and trying Avork. He arrlA-ed in Tuskaloosa the latter i)art of October,
and ojk^ned the doors of the institute the tirst of XoA'enil)er. Xotice of
the fact Avas giA-en to the i^ublic, and applications for entrance invited ;
and at the same time appeals Avere made ftn* funds to support the
Institute.

The first student came from the Presl)ytery of Memphis, Avith
pledges of support. Apjilieations came froni A-arious (piarters — North
and South Carolina, Tennessee, (Tcorgia, North Alabama, Mississippi
and Texas — but all coupled Avith inquiries as to the means for .support-
ing students. Had these been proAided, Are Avould soon haA'e hail
a full school. But Ave had no fund for this puri>ose, and only a sn)all
part of the contributions receiA-ed could be apjdied to tliis object, and
Ave Avere obliged to discourage all applications Avliich Avere unaccom-
panied Avith arrangements for support Besides, knoAving the lia))ility
to haA'ing unAvorthy applicants, Ave Avere careful to require good testi-
anonials of character and capacity, and requesteil the Presl)yteries to
send only such men as they could endorse, or their Committees of Edu-
cation ; and also urged the necessity for their attention to the matter of
support. "We haA'e but tAvo regular candidates under the care of Pres-
byteries, A'iz : those of Memphi.s and SaA'annah, and these are both
proA-ided for.

Here lies the chief difficulty in Iniilding up this school, and Ave in-
voke the Avisdom of the Assembly to dcA'ise some method for its re-
moA'al.

In addition to these tAvo Presbyterian candidates, three Methodist
and one Baptist preacher*, laboring as pastors in and near Tuskaloosa,
haA-e entered the Institute, and seem to haA'e a high estimate of its ad-
A'antages. All six liaA'c pursued their studies Avith an encouraging-
degree of industry ?ind success. Brother Dickson is an apt teacher,
and succeeds admirably in stimulating their minds and keeping up-
their interest. The Avork is one of great labor, an<l demands }nuch
patience, but, haAung his heart in it, he ncA-er tlags. You could hardly
find a more capable or faitliful jirofessor.

The raising of funds has been no easy matter. Many appeals haA-e
been made through the press, and innunierable letters haA'e been Avrit-
ten to individuals. The Executive Connnittee of Education, Avith
their Secretary, haA'e shown a Avarm and steady interest in this AVork,
and haA'e rendered efficient aid. And Ave liaA'e to thank the editors of
all our religious paper.s for their frequent mention of this school and

453 EDUCATION OF COLORED CANDIDATES.

their many kind appeals on its l>ehalf. A late remittance from the Re-
formed Church, through Dr. INIcIhvaine, has relieved our embarrass-
ments for the present, and we trust is an earnest of future and larger
lielp from this strong ally of our Church.

We have endeavored to conduct this enterprise on the most econom-
ical plan. Our arrangements are of the humblest character. A mod-
erate sized room, rented for two dollars per month, and the simplest
furniture, is all the material show we can make. The object deserves
very much more, and needs more extensive arrangements, if we' pur-
pose to carry it on efficiently. But we were determined to incur no
<lebt, and to avoid burdening the Church beyond Avhat Avas absolutely
necessarj'. It is for the Assembly to determine whether or not to build
up a school for this peoj^le conimensurate with their great spiritual
wants and their strong claims ujion us, as a Church pledged to the
spiritual illumination of the ignorant and destitute within our reach.
It is evident that the present i*wthod of sustaining the enterprise is
too precarious. We need to have it placed upon a broader and firmer
l)asis. If it be, indeed, as its friends claim, and as all must admit, a
legitimate i>art of the great work of the Church, having in it the three-
fold features of domestic missions, foreign missions and education for
the ministry, not to speak of its philanthropic and social features, it
<lots seem that it ought to be placed on a similar footing with our
other Church enterprises.

I submit herewith a statement from Professor Dickson, setting forth
the present course of study in the Institute ; also, the financial report.

Respectfully submitted,

C. A. .Stillman.

COrRSE OF STUDY.

A. The studies pursued in the Colored Theological Institute thus
far have been ;

Reading the Bible, Mith special reference to pulpit reading. [This
will be made a lirominent specialty hereafter.]

Bible Lessons (1.) — Vincent's First Year with Jesus. (2.) — Topical
Lessons, with the Help of the Concordance. [This chiefly for pi-actise.]

Introductory Theological Lessons — Plumer's " Truths for the Peoi^le."

Lectures on'Homiletics, with practise in preparing briefs, preaching
l.'efore the class, and debates.

Greek Granunar and Greek Testament. English Grammar and
Arithmetic, where necessary.

B. It is proposed, in the next year — /. c, Nvith the opening of the
fall — to carry on the advanced pui)ils to the direct study of the Confes-
sion of Faitii and Proof Texts ; also, to a careful but brief and simple
sunnnary of Natural Tlieology (which I have now in course of i)rep-
aration),"and Pastoral Theology, with such helps as Pilgrims' Progress,
and Alexander's Notes on Religious Exi:)erience.

The only thing dropped (with them) will be " Truths for the People."
New pupils will probaljly need some elementary studies, as will
doubtless long be tlie case with successive classes.

SUSTEXTATIOX.

ABSTKACT OF THE ELKVEXTH AXXUAL REPOKT OF THE EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE OF SUSTEXTATIOX, FOR THE YEAK EXDIXG APRIL 1,

1877.

It Is with much resTet tliat tlie Executive Conmiittee reports to the
General A.ssembly that the arJvauce of the work projected and inaug-
urated a year ago"^ has not been maintained in any of the departments
committed to their charge din-ing tlie year which closed on April 1st
last. The receipts of none of the funds have been sutticient to justify
further extension, and in some of them hurtful retrench.ment has been
uecessary.

FIXAXCE.

The total receipts of all funds in tliis department from all sources
(including the Rustentation, Evangelistic, Colored Evangehstic, Invalid
and Eelief Funds) have beens-4:j,l()2 90, which, together Avithsil.GOO 79
balance on hand April 1, 187'3 makes a total of §-54,772 69, which has
been under the control of the Conmiittee during the year.

The Treasurer's report and the tabular statement of receipts from
and payments to each Pres])ytery for the Sustentation, Evangelistic
and Invalid Funds aflbrd full information in regard to the financial
condition of this department.

SuSTEXTATiox. — The receipts this year have l>een ?19,4S7 5-5, against
$22,664 68 last year, showing a decrease of 83,177 13. Of this decrease
^594 16 is in miscellaneous sources ; $2,582 97 is in the churches. Of
the decrease in the churches, $1,370 78 is to be accounted for by the in-
dependent action of Augusta and East Hanover Presbyteries, and 6400
by the failure of a remittance from Nashville Presbytery (supposing
that these Presbyteries would have done as nuich tliis as last year),
tlius leaving a deficiency of |'812 19 from the other contributing
churches.

The total payments to Presbyteries have amounted to 820, 559 51,
against 821,637 81 last year, showing a decrease in payments to Presl)y-
teries of ?1,078 30. The Connnittee was only enabled to make such large
payments to the I'resbyteries by a somewhat hazardous diminution of
the balance on hand April 1, this amount being $1,958 84 instead of
§5,261 22 on April 1, 1866. It is evident that unless the receipts to this
fund are much larger this than last year, future appropriations will
have to be very nuich diminished, and thus the work in the Presby-
teries be further depressed. Both the wisdom and zeal of the General
Assembly are invoked to prevent sd dire a calamity.

EvAxci^Ei.iSTic FuxD. — There has ))een an increase in receipts of
§953 64, which is to be attributed to the receipt from legacies of $1,200,
thus making the receipts from miscellaneous soui'ees 81,260 10 more
this than last year, while the receipts from the churches have l)een
$306 46 less than last year. The payments to the Presljyteries have
been 84,736 76 more than last year, which has been acconiplished by a
diminutionof the balance on hand April 1, 1876, of $6,494 14 to $4,106 64,
the amount on hand Ai>ril 1, 1877. It is estimated that this balance,
together with the esthnated receipts between tliis and September 1,
will enable the treasury to pay the current obligations of the Committee
to the Presbyteries; but it is evident that if the work is to )je conducted
on its jiresent scale, to say nothing of a much needed enlargement, the
receipts must be greatiyincreased.

Colored Evaxcjelistic Fuxd.— The receipts of this fund have
been $4-58 53, al>out one-half of which came from the First Presbyterian
Church (Northern), Baltimore, and from the Refornied( Dutch) Church,
New Peltz, N. Y. Payments have been made amounting to $875, and
$388 58 which this fund would have been in del)t on April 1, has l)een

charged against the Hustentation Fund in accordance with the direc-
tions of the General Assenihlj- of ISTo,

Invalid Fuxd. — The receipts of this fund during tlie j-ear have
been ?947 12 less than last year. The receipts from niiscellaueous
sources M'ere ?1,267 So inore tliau last year, so that the contributions
from the churches fell off .S:2,214 97, Avhi'ch is a sad fact. The payments
to the Presbyteries have been !Sl,002 oO more than last year, and there
was a balance against the fund of ?l,0(l(i .'m on April l,"l877. The bal-
ance will be somewhat reduced by receipts before July 1 (the begin-
ning of another invalid year), but it will hardly be cancelled by that
time, so that the receipts of this fund must be considerably increase(l
during the present year, if the Church is to be faithful to'hef obliga-
tions to those who in God's providence are the recipients of this bene-
faction.

Relief Fund.— An investment of !?3,000 of approved bonds has
been made during the year, so that the securities now belonging to this
fund amount to 921,(i(io, a descrii)tive list of which is attachetl to the
Treasurer's report. Annuities have been paid during the year amount-
ing to $1,200 to the families of three deceased ministers.

8USTENTATION.

These statements show that the means at the disposal of the Com-
mittee have been wholly inadequate to supply aid for the work in the
Presbyteries. At nearly every meeting of the Committee urgent ai>
plications for help in tlie sujiport of feeble churches, and in the erec-
tion of needed houses of worship at important points, had to be passed
over ; and at the meeting in March it was necessary to diminish the
iippropriations asked for by the amount of §7,000. This same process
has been needful in Ajiril and May of the present tiscal year, so that
the lack of means is now causing repression in the Chui'ch's energy
and growth, painful indeed to conteniplate, and far more painful to
realize, as the Committee, from its position, has been compelled to do.

Encouraging Facts. — Notwithstanding the diminished amount
placed at the disposal of the Committee, appropriations have been made
to tifty-two Presbyteries, amounting to $17,406 92 in aid of the labors
of 164 ministers in the service of perhaps nearly five hundred churches.
Assistance has also been extended in the erection of twenty-two church
buildings to the amount of $o,lo2 oO. In very manj- of these cases the
churches aided could have had no stated ministration of the Word but
for the assistance rendered through the Hustentation Fund, and in per-
haps a larger proportionate number the church edifices would not have
been obtained except for the aid afforded. It is, therefore, a cause of
thankfulness that this agency has been maintained, and while not able
to do much which Avas demanded, has nevertheless been instrumental
in doing something for the comfort and edification of a considerable
part of the Church.

Facts which Demand Immediate Consideration and Action. —
Having now stated briefly what has been done and the signs of en-
couragement Avhich appear, the exigencies of the work demand that
the Assembly shall be informed of the real state of this work as far as
it can be ascertained. The fact stated aljove, that of the sixty-one
Home Presbyteries, twenty-nine are so weak as to require large help in
order to. carry on their work efficiently, and that eleven of the remain-
der are not supposed to be able to do'more than to conduct their own
work efficiently, is of itself adapted to show that much exertion is
needed on the part of the twenty-one strong Presbyteries to prevent the
work of the Church as a whole from failure. But when the further
fact is stated, that of the twenty-one Presbyteries estimated to be
strong, four have last year received more from the fund than they have
given to it, and that eight others have given only a pittance more than

SrSTENTATIOX. 458-

they received, it appears that the iiii]H)rtaiK'e of tliis branch of the
work is feebly appreliended in tlieir ehurelies. Besides tliis, sixteen
Presbyteries report that tlie averaj^e of tlieir ministers' sahiries, outside
of cities and larj>e towns and* apart from the Hustentation Fund, is
under $800, but al»ove ^600, and twenty I'l'esbyteries tliat tlie aA'erage of
salaries is under $y(X>, and in one of them as fow as ^:;00. In confirma-
tion of these figures it is reported by fifty-four Presbj-teries that there
are 609 ministei-s in them engaged wholly in ministerial lal)or, 278 of
whom receive salaries of over ?.S(l() per annum, 14.5 between 5)600 and
§800, and the rest under ?600, so that not more than one-half of our
ministers Avho are wholly engaged in the service of the Church receive
more than .1!8(X> salary, aiid that uuich the larger proportion of the rest
receive under *6<M).

In this connection it is reported that there are forty-one }ninisters
engaged in secular work, antl thus himlered from the work of the min-
istry, who would cheerfully devote themselves wholly to the service of
the Church if they could olitain a support so large as .^800 per annum.

It is also stated that there are 861 pastoral chai-ges — not single
churches — but groups of churches forming fields of labor, Avliich ax'e
not able to give so much as *800 salary. It is furthermore said that
there are 152 unoccupied fields needing ministers at once, of Avhich
only thirty-four are able by themselves to sui)i)ort the (Tiosi)el, shoeing
that besides the 164 charges now being hel]K'd from the Sustentation
Fund, there are lis vacant fields -which nuist be aide<l if they have the
(jiosijel of salvation preached to them.

The Assembly is invited to pause and consider the impressive facts
which have now been detailed.

1. That a large })roportion of our ministry, almost, if not quite, two-
thirds of them wholly engaged in the work of the Church, are living
on very inadequate salaries, and inust, in many ca.ses, have their eflfi-
cieucy materially interfered with on this account.

2. A large number of our ministers, amounting perhaps to two hun-
<lred, after making liberal deductions for the superanuated and invalid,,
theological teachers, secretaries, foreign missionaries and the unaccept-
able, do not appear to be engaged in any fruitful jiiinisterial work at
all, or if at all, so irregularly that they are not reported. This must be
due in great measure to the want of suj)port.

8. There are over one-half, i^robably two-thirds, of all our churches,
when grouped into pastoral charges, which are unable without assist-
ance to support the stated ministry.

4. There are not far from four hundred churches — jierhaps more —
at present vacant, because they cannot receive aid in the support of the
ministry. These simple stateinents, together with the further fact that
161 organized churches have no house of M'orship, ninety of which im-
mediately need them and are suftering for the want of them, at once
show how little has been done in this depai'tment, how much needs to
be done, and how imperative is the duty resting upon those who can
help in this work to do so.

MANSES?.

The' attention of the Executive Committee has during the year been
directed to this interesting subject, and Inquiries addressed to the chair-
man of the Presbyterial Committees have resulted in securing the fol-
lowing information : There are in fifty-four Pres))yteries 186 churches
which own manses, only nineteen of which were vacant at the time
the report wtus made, and a number of these Avere expected to be sup-
plied at an early day. The large majority of the Presbyterial Com-
mittees express the opinion that the p)()ssession of a manse has a decided
influence in securing the greater permanency of the jnistoral relation.
In a few cases this opinion has not been forined. The Presbytery of
Licxington has tlie largest number of manses — twenty ; and not one of
these churches is vacant. The Presl)ytery of AViuchcster has* eleven,
with tlie same result. The Presbytery of Mc^ntgomery has eleven, two

159 SUSTEXTATION.

of whic-li were vacant at the tinio of the report. Tlie Presltytery of
Harniony has eleven and one vacant. The Presbytery of Roanoke has
nine, and the chairman of its cornniittee expresses the opinion that had
it not l)een for the jiossession of these it' would have been iin2iossible
for the churches, with one exception, to have maintained the ministry.
It seems clear from these statements that it is very important for every
])astoral charge to own a comfortable rcsidcivo for its minister. Such
results as these could not have been attained unless there were a potent
influence for good in the possession of the manse. >« ot only is there
this much added to the sujiport of the minister oAcr and above Avhat
the people would otherwise be able and willing to give, liut as a home
provided by the Church for him who ministers to them in the Gosiiel,
it becomes endeared at once to the minister's family and to the people
of his charge, and is thus a strong bond of sympathy Ijetween them.
This form of church endowment seems to be free frojii objections which
may be legitimately urged against other per]nanent congregational in-
vestments for the saipport of the GosjKd, and were it not that there is
so much to be done in the direct work of supporting the ministry and
in establishing and building up the feeble churches, it might be w^ell
for the General Asse7nbly to initiate measures looking towards securing
a manse hi every pastoral charge As it is, the Connnittee recommends
that the attention of Presbyteries and churches l>e called to this su))jcM:'t,
and that they be urged as far as practicable to secure a manse in every
pastoral charge.

.SUGCii:STIOXS.

It has been suggested to the Executive Connnittee, that perhaps the
rule adopted by the General Assembly in regard to not aiding churches
ordinarily for a period longer than five years should be abandoned, as
in many "cases it must be practically inoperative, audit is not wise to
class as extraordinary cases which have already ))ecome and must con-
tinue to be connnon'. To the Committ«ee there appears nmch force in
this suggestion, and were it not that such large latitude is already con-
ferred in judging of such cases, they would recommend that the rule
be rescinded," The matter is referred to the General Assembly for its
consideration.

Two things of a practical nature in I'egard to feeble churches ought
always to be kept in view : 1st. It is from them that our ministry very
largely comes. 2d. They are the feeders of the strong churches. Their
loss is oftentimes the gain of other fields which but for the strength
thus drawn from these unacknowledged sources would have remained
insignificant, if they had continued to exist. 3Iany of the best workers
of the town and city churches have been converted and trained in weak
country congregations, and these latter may surely say, without pre-
sumption, "If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great
thing if we shall reap your carnal things?"

It has also been intimated to the Committee that it might be well for
the Assembly to adopt a rule requiring every church which is aided to
certify that its iDromises of iieeuniary support to its minister have been
fulfilled before the aid furnished l;)y the Assembly's fund shall be paid.
This suggestion is referred to the 'Assembly for its consideration, but
with the remark that such a rule appears to be liable to the veiy grave
objection that while in some cases it might act well on the churches,
in others it would be the source of veiy great embarrassment to the
minister, he finding himself in the double misery of being unj)aid
both by his people and by the Assembly.

EVAXGJELISTIC WORK.

The distinction between sustentation and evangelistic work is not as
yet thoroughly defined in all the Presbyteries. The metes and bounds
of these branches of work are, however, becoming better marked out
and are sulficicntly kept in view already to justify the separation of
them into co-ordinate departments, as the General Assembly has done.

SUSTEXTATION. 460

The former departinent is conservative and preservative, the latter is
aggressive and extensive. Tlie object of sustentation is to aid feeble
churches already established in securing and maintaining the ordi-
nances of a preached gospel, with a vicAv to their growth in numbers
and grace, to the end that efficient congregations may be built up in
the place of weak ones. The object of evangelistic work is to extend
the authority and pastoral care of the Presbytery to our scattered people
who would otherwise be left without oversight or needed attention ; to
send the Gospel into regions where it is not preached, and to establish
churches at points where the providence of God seems to indicate that
they are needed and desired.

COLORED EVAXGELISTIC WORK.

Eighteen Presbyteries report that something is being done in their
bounds for the work among the colored people. From the reports it
also appears that there are twenty -one churches for the colored i:>eople,
Ave colored ministers, three colored licentiates and six colored candi-
dates for the ministry under the care of the fifty-four reporting Presby-
teries. This shows an increase of seven churches, of two ministers and
of five candidates over last year. The number of licentiates is the
same. It is probable that the increase in candidates is due, at least in
some degree, to the stinmlating effect of the action of the last General
Assembly in establishing the training school for colored ministers at
Tuskaloosa, Alabama. If this be so, it shows that this infant institu-
tion has already produced important indirect results which entitle it to
the liberal support of all who love the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus
Christ, and who feel £>n interest in the salvation of the four millions of
people for w'hose benefit it is intended.

INVALID FUND.

The demands on this fund last year were considerably larger than the
year previous and the appropriations were a little over §1,000 more.
Had the receipts from the churches been as large as in the former year,
there would have been no deficiency on April 1st, but a comfortable
balance. It was late in the year before it appeared certain that this
falling off in the contributions would occur, and after that time the
Committee felt compelled to curtail the amounts applied for in several
cases. This was painful, but it seemed necessary. At the March
meeting of the Committee the question had to be squarely met as to
whether the second instalment of the ai^propriations, made in October,
should be scaled down so as to avoid a deficiency in the treasury, or
whether obligations already incurred and relied on by those Avho draw
from this fund should be paid in full. The latter alternative was
adopted, as it was not believed to be right to allow the venerable and
beloved men of God and the widows and orphans of our deceased
brethren, who draw the comforts and in many cases the necessaries of
life from this fund, to be disappointed in their well-founded expecta-
tion of help from the Church. Hence no action was taken looking
towards a diminution of payments, but all the outstanding obligations
of the Committee were promptly met. Great caution, however, is now
being used not to increase the obligations of the fund beyond the point
which it will probably be able to meet, it being evident that unless the
receipts from the churches are nmch larger than formerly, no alterna-
tive will be left at the time of annual appropriation in October, except
to diminish the amount appropriated so as to correspond with the
amount received.

All the Presbj'teries co-operate in sustaining this fund except that of
Concord, three or four of whose churches and some benevolent indi-
viduals and one ladies' society have, however, contributed. Forty-
three Presbyteries have received aid from the fund for twenty-eight
aged and infirm ministers, and for the families of sixty-eight deceased
ministers. This shows seven Presbyteries requiring aid jnorc than last

4G1 SUSTENTATION.

year, with two ministers and eight families added to the lists of those
who need to be helped.

RELIEF FUND.

On April 1st there were seventy-five names on the relief lists whose
premiums have been fully paid. Of these twelve have come in under
the scheme adopted by the last General Assembly, which has been
received with evident favor by the Church, and which, it is hoped, will
be found largely useful in the future. There are also three names on
the lists of persons under the old scheme who are entitled to pay their
premiums during this calendar year. There has been only one death',
among the subscribers to the fund since the meeting of the last General
Assembly, that of the Rev. Jesse Rankin, of the Synod of North
Carolina. In .January last the condition of the relief fund was
thoroughly re-examined by C. F. McCay, LL. D., a member of your
Committee, and the result is the confident statement that it is not only
solvent, but besides being able to meet all its engagements, had a surplus
of ?1,706 over and above its liabilities. It is cheering to note that the
receipts on account of interest are this year more tlian enough to pay
all the annuities which fell due, thus leaving the whole of the premiums, .
after deducting the very small expense account, to be added to the
permanent investment fund. It is believed that as our ministers
become better ac(iuainted with the working of this fund and its benefits,
.n-e more generally distributed, a larger number will avail themselvea-
oi' its advantages. To the younger men of the ministry, especially, it
offers peculiar attractions. Of the new names added last year all except
one belong to this class. For them the annual payment is so small
thnt by a little self-denial most of them may meet it, and as it does not
increase, but continues the same throughout life, they gain a great
advantage by not delaying to secure its benefits.

FOREIGN- MISSIONS. 466

FOREIGN MISSIONS.

Abstract of the Sixteenth Annual Report of the Executive

Committee of Foreign Missions, for the year ending April

1st, 1877.

In presentinjJT the Sixteenth Annual Report on Foreign Missions,
the Executive Committee would humbly and thankfully acknowledge
the goodness of Almighty God in Hi's merciful dealings with our
missionary brethren, and praise Him for the manifold tokens of favor
bestowed upon their work, for the presers-ation of our missions and
missionary stations during the year, and for the growing interest
manifested by our Christian people in the progress of this great cause.

unfavorable facts.

Among those events of an unfavorable or afflictive character may be
mentioned first, the removal by death of the Rev. William LeConte,
on the 4th of November, at his mother's home in Washington, D. C.
Another unfavorable feature in the work was the failure of health on
the part of Mrs. H. B. Pratt, of Bucaramanga mission, and of Mr.
John W. Dabney of the Campinas mission, making it necessary for
both to return to this country for the recovery of their health, thus
weakening the missions with which they were respectively connected.
In addition to these we are sorry to report that Rev. M. H. Houston,
who has spent so many years in China and who has been laboring in
the churches in this country for eighteen months past with so much
acceptance and success, has been compelled in consequence of continu-
ed ill health, to ask his dismission from the missionary service. He
has recently assumed a pastoral charge in the mountains of Virginia,
and it is hoped that he will not only be useful there, but that the moun-
tain air may be the means of restoring him to ultimate good health.
The missions in China and in South America feel very sensibly these
losses, and it is hoped that the time may not be far distant when these
breaches shall be repaired.

But the trials connected with this loss of laborers are not the only
ones that need to be recorded. During the greater part of the year, the
United States of Colombia have been so violently agitated by a bitter
and fierce civil war, that not only have the labors of our missionaries
been greatly paralyzed, but the life of Mr. Pratt, as there was reason to
fear, was for some time brought into serious peril. At the date of our
last letters, there was something of a lull in the progress of the war,
but still greater uncertainty as to the final result. As a further fact of
a kindred nature it is necessary to state that the Muskogee Institute,
in the Creek Indian Country, to which frequent allusions have been
made both in the Missioiiary and in previous Annual Reix)rts, has, so
far as connected with the Committee, been suspended — owing partly to
lawless assaults repeatedly made against the Institution by drunken
young men in the nighborhood, whom the community did not seem
able to restrain, and i)artly on account of dissatisfaction with the con-
<luct of Mr. Ferryman who has had charge of the Institution for several
years past.

favorable indications.

One of the most important is, that notwithstanding the severe finan-
cial restrictions that have necessarily been imposed upon the missions,
and notwithstanding the further fact that no missionary reinforcements
have been sent out for two years, yet, in the good providence of God,
none of our missions have been discontinued'on this account, whilst
most of them have been carried on without any apparent diminution
of energy. At all of the stations, except perhaps those in the United
States of Colombia, there have been imixn-tant accessions to the

4G7 l-OKEIGN MISSIONS.

ohurc'lios, and at some of theiu tliose accessions have heeii considera-
ble. In this same connection it should be mentioned, that our chris-
tian people, notwithstanding the unprecedented hardness of the times,
have responded to the calls of this great cause with commendable
liberality, and especially are thanks due the christian women of the
Church, many of whom have not only practiced self-denial, but have
wrought vigorously with their own hands to raise funds for the 2>romo-
tion of this great enterprise. The children of the iSabbath Schools too
liave been active and have contributed materiallj' to the missionary
fund. There is reason also to believe tliat the great body of our chris-
tian peoi>le are ac(iuiring inore knoAvledge in relation to the progi'ess
of this great work, and are more ready to admit their obligation to do
all that they can for its promotion.

CHANGES IN THK MISSIONARY FORCK.

Miss Nannie Henderson, who returned from Campinas to this coun-
try two years ago in utterly prostrate health, has gradually regained
good health and hopes to return to her chosen field of labor in the early
summer. Rev. J. H. Colton, who had had charge of Spencer Academy
for a number of years, and who had conducted it with efHciency, was
conii>elled last fall, on account of the feeble health of his family, to ask
to be released from the charge, Avhich was granted with regret for the
cause Avhich made it necessary. Rev. J. J. Read, for a number of years
the etticient pastor of the Presl)yterian church in Houston, Texas, was
api:>ointed to take charge of this institution, wliich he did in the early
part of January, and Avith very encoui'aging prospects of success. Rev.
L. AV. Currie, of North Carolina, and Dr. H. R. Johnson, of Texas,
have been appointed permanent teachers in tliis institution and are
now actively engaged in tlie discharge of their duties as such. Miss-
Mattie C. Parks, of the Synod of Missouri, was appointed teacher in
tlie INIuskogee Institute. She reached the Indian Country in Decem-
ber, and continued to teadi there until the Committee closed its con-
Tiection with that school. Miss Nannie Henderson, who has been in
that country on account of her health, expects soon to return to the
i'ampinas mission.

FINANCE.

The receipts from all sources for the year ending April 1st, were-
^.>5,121 15. Of this amount $38,697 31 was contributed by churches
and individuals, $9,62o 78 by Ladies' Missionary Associations and
§6,798 06 by Sabbath Schools. This shows a falling off in the contribu-
tions from churches, individuals and miscellaneous, as compared with
last year, of $8,152 60; an increase from those of Ladies' Missionary-
Associations ' of $1,807 93; and an increase from Sabbath Schools of
$192 55. In the aggregate there has been a falling off in the receips, as
compared with last year of $6,152 12. The expenditures, in conse-
quence of the most rigid economy, have been reduced to ?^50,098 75.
This leaves the general debt reduced to $4,826 27, which can now, in
the general acceptation of the terms, scarcely be regarded as a debt, as
this amount is liable to be found on one or the other side of the account
at the close of every year. The home expense, including salaries, clerk
hire and travelling expenses, postage, printing Annual report and cir-
culars, exi)ense of the Missionary, over and above receipts, amount to
§4,936 11. The travelling expenses amounting to $372 40, are greater
than usual, owing to the fact, that in addition to visiting Synods, the
Senior Secretary had to make a visit to one of the Indian missions
during tlie year.

The number of churches that have contributed is 1,0-53, which is less^
by 66 than contributed last year, ami which shows that there are 766
churches, a good deal more than one-third of the Avhole, that have con-
tributed nothing at all to this great work during the year.

The number of Ladies' Missionary Associations th'at have contril)U-
ted is 172, l>eing an increase of 64 over those that contributed last vear.

FOREIGN MISSIONS. 468

Thoir afrurr • jrato contributions exceed those of last year by $1,807 9.3.
Great credit is due to these Associations for their earnest and hearty
co-operation in tliis time of great need. It lias been, as we have reason
to know, by niucli earnest ettbrt, great self-denial and no little indus-
try that tliey have i)rocured the means of contributing to this eause.
The number of Sabbath Schools that have contributed is 262, being 8
less than gave last year, though the aggregate contributions of these
exceed those of last year l»y nearly $200. The receipts from these
schools might be greatly augmented if they could generally be interes-
ted in the work.

MEXICAN MISSION.

Matamoras. — Rev. A. T. Graybill. JSIessrs. C-arrero and Ijctindro,
Mrs. Carrero and Miss Virginia Leandro, (native helpers.)

God still continues to bless this 7nission in a remarkable manner,
especially in the view of the fitct that it is only three years since it was^
founded. Mr. Graybill, aided by Mr. Leandro, maintains preaching
every Sabbath at Matamoras, at Brownsville, on the opposite side of
the Rio Grande, and at Santa Rosalia, three miles distant from JNIata-
nioras. At Santa Rosalia, the peoj^le without any assistance from
abroad, have erected a neat little chapel for themselves, at a cost of
something like $300. At Matamoras the congregation have jnirchased
a very desirable lot for a church building at a cost of $374. Between
these' two congregations as much as $862 .50 has been raised for church
building purposes. Besides this the church at Matamoras has raised
as much as $70 to meet contingent expenses and to relieve the poor of
the church. During the year twenty-flve adults have been received
into the communion of the church by baptism on a profession of their
faith, whilst fourteen children have also been added by baptism. The
whole number of adult communicants received since the establishment
of the 7uission is seventy-nine, and the whole number of children bap-
tized is twenty-four. Four of the first mentioned have been removed
by death. There are three day schools at the principal stations, em-
bracing in all sixty-five pujnls — the regular number of attendants be-
ing something smaller than this. There are also three Sabbath-Schools
embracing as many as eighty-six attendants. There are also three
persons who are under training for the work of the ministry — studying
under Mr. Graybill systematic theology, interpretation of the Scrip-
tures, and the Greek language. Something like $1,600 have been con-
tributed by friends in this country to aid in building the church at
Matamoras. The building has been commenced, but it will require
$300 or $4(X) in addition to Avhat has already been given to complete it,
and this cause is earnestly commended to the liberality of those who
have the means to aid in the accomi)lishment of this niost important
object.

469 FOKEIGX MISSIONS.

MISSIONS IN THE UNITKD STATES OF COLOMBIA.

£ucaraman(/a.—B.ev. H, B. Pratt and Mrs. Pratt, (in this country.)
BaranquUla.—'Re\. J. G. Hall, Mrs. Hall and Mr. A. H. Erwin,

teacher.

Mr. Pratt has been employed mainly in preparing, printing and
^circulating religious tracts among the people. For a portion of the
year he has printed and circulated gratuitously a monthly magazine,
Avhich he thinks has been received with considerable favor, and which,
he hopes, is silently doing good. He has also spent a good deal of time
in revising and printing a new edition of the Psalms, which he hopes
will some day or other prove a blessing to the entire Spanish-speaking
population of South America.

5lr. Hall's labors have been devoted almost entirely to the peojjle of
the city of Baranquilla and in the study of the language. He com-
plains that the attendance is not large, biit there will probably be im-
provement in this respect when he is able to speak the language with
greater fluency. The schools taught by Mrs. Hall and by Mr. Erwin
have both been very- much reduced in consequence of the war. With
the return of peace the schools will no doubt regain their former
prosperity.

BRAZILIAN MISSIONS.

Ca7n2nnas. — Rev. G. Naeh Morton and Mrs. Morton, Rev. Edward
Lane and Mrs. Lane, Rev. John Boyle and Mrs. Boyle, and Miss M.
V. Kirk, Miss Nannie Henderson (in this country.) Four wative helpers.

JPernambuco.—Rev. J. Rockwell Smith. One native colporteur.

The work at the Campinas mission has been arranged under three
distinct departments. First, the college under Mr. Morton's general
superintendence ; second, the school for girls under the direction of
Mr. Boyle, in which he is assisted by Miss Kirk ; third, the evangelistic
work under the care of Mr. Lane, in which he is assisted by the
colporteur and other native helpers.

The college has been carried on as in former years, except that some
interruption has been occasioned by sickness. The number of pupils
previous to the interruption was 120, and it Avill probably continue to
range at about this number. The condition of the grounds and premises
has been greatly improved, especially in the supply of an abundance
of good water, drawn from a deep well through the agency of a wind-
jnill. The girls' school contains 25 pupils, a part of whom are the
daughters of Americans who have recently settled in Campinas. Stated
preaching is maintained by Messrs. Morton and Boyle in the college
chapel in the church at Campinas and occasionally in other places in
the vicinity.

Mr. Lane has spent a large part of the year in missionary tours in
the surrounding country and with many encouraging tokens of success.
There are now five separate church organizations in connection with
this mission, at Campinas, Penha, Agua Branca, Mogy-Morim and at
Santa Barbara. Three persons have been received into the church at
Campinas on a profession of their faith, and five children have been
baptized. The total membershii> is 37. Forty children are instructed
in the Sabbath schools. The church has contributed .?224 to meet its
•nvn expenses, and §81.71 has been raised by the ladies of the church
towards putting up a church edifice. At Penha three persons have
been received into the communion of the church on a profession of
faith, and 5 children have been baptized.

This church, during the latter part of 1875 and the present year, has
raised §355 in gold for the purchase and enclosure of a cemetery, its
members being denied burial in the Romish ceiiietery. They also
maintain a good school at their own expense. At the Agua Branca
cliurch 5 persons have been received on a profession of their faith,
and 5 children have been baptized, the total number being 27. The

FOREIGN" MISSIONS. - 470

church at Mogy-Morim has recently been organized. The number of
its members is'7, each one of whom contributed t^l montlily to meet the
expenses of their worship. The church at Santa Barbara is made up
-almost wholly of United States citizens, who settled there soon after
the war. Rev. James Baird, formerly of South Carolina, has the
pastoral charge of this church, but the missionaries at Campinas preach
there once a month, in the morning to the English-speaking congrega-
tion, and in the evening to the Brazilian people. Tlie whole number
of members here is 25.

ITALIAN MISSIOX.

Milan. — Miss Christina Ronzone.

GREEK MISSIOX.

Athens.— Hex. M. D. Kalopothakes and Mrs. Kalopothakes, Rev. G.
Jj. Leyburn and Mrs. Leyburn.

Salonika. — Rev. George Kazacos and Mr. Laoutsi.

Volos. — Mr. ISIichaelides and Mr. Atoniades.

The two papers. The Star of the East, published weekly, and I'he
Child's Paper, published monthly, have been regularly issued and
their circulation compares favorably with former years. A hymn and
tune book has been printed, consisting of one hundred and seven tunes
and two hundred and fifty hymns; the whole makes a neat octavo
book of one hundred and twenty-seven pages, and so far as is known
is the only publication of the kind in modern Greek.

CHINA MISSIONS.

Hanqchoio.—Re\. J. L. Stuart and Mrs. Stuart, Rev. Ben. Helm, Mr.
G. W. Painter, Mrs. A. E. Randolph, Miss Helen Kirkland, Mr. \Vu
and Mr. Lee, Ah-tse and five other native helpers.

Sooehoiv.—Re\. H. C. DuBose and Mrs. DuBose, Rev. John W.
Davis, Miss Anna C. SafTord and four native helpers.

The Hangchow mission has been favored with general good health.
Mrs. Randolph, on account of the failure of her voice, found it neces-
sary to visit Japan, where she remained several weeks and derived
great benefit. Mr. Painter had an attack of chills, but recovered
entirely from it by spending a few weeks on an island near Ningpo.
Mr. Davis suflTered sometime from sore throat, but was much better at
the date of our last letters. Miss SafTord, in consequence of not having
comfortable rooms in Soochow, spent several of the hot months in the
vicinity of Cheefoo.

The labors of the Hangchow mission have been devoted to the public
preaching of the Goepel, to visiting among the women, to preparing
books and tracts for the press, to circulating books and tracts in the city
and surrounding country, and, with the aid of native helpers, to the
instruction of schools. There are two boarding schools, one for girls
and the other for boys, the former under the care of Mrs. Randolph,
and embraces thirty pupils ; the latter under the care of Mr. Painter,
and contains twenty-four pupils. Besides these there are four day
schools, one for boys, under the direction of Mr. Painter, and three of
a mixed character, under the direction of Miss Kirkland, embracing
about fifteen pupils each.

Daily preaching has been kept up in the street chapels by Mr. Helm
and Mr, Stuart, aided by the native preacher. Each of the brethren
have made three evangelistic tours into the neighboring towns and
cities, Mr. Helm spending thirtv days in this way and Mr. Stuart
twenty-five, and in that time sold 10,000 copies of books and tracts.
The number of church members in good standing is now 16, of which
4 were added during the year and are members of Mr. Painter's school.
The day schools open up a wide door of access to the female population
of Hangchow, which the ladies are turning to a good account. Mr.
Helm has prenared and published a valuable hymn book in the Man-
darin language, which will no doubt have an extensive influence
for good.

471 FOREIGN MISSIONS.

The c-liureh at .Sooehow has three members, two having been sus-
pended. Preaching is maintained in the chapel on (Sunday morning
and afternoon, and a Sunday school -is also kept up during the afternoon.
Miss SafTord's class of women has also increased during the year. The
building of a street chapel here has been an important feature in the
work. Mr. DuBose had to spend nearly two months in superintending
the work, but preached two or three times during the week while the
work was going on; after its dedication, in January, he preached
almost daily to congregations varying from forty to eighty. Mr. Davis
has suffered much of the time from sore throat, but has been able to
deliver one hundred sermons and addresses notwithstanding. Mr.
DuBose did not make any extended missionary tours during the year,
but sold in the streets of .Sooehow 4,500 books, besides distributing
many thousand sheet tracts. Mr. Davis visited thirty-one different
towns and cities and sold 6,200 books. There are three day schools at
.Sooehow, two under the care of Mrs. DuBose and one superintended
by Miss Saftbrd. The average attendance at Mrs, DuBose's school is
thirty-six, and at Miss Safford's eighteen, Mrs. DuBose and Miss
Safford have both visited extensively among the women of .Sooehow.
Miss .Safford had interviews of a religious character with nearly 2,000

first edition being exhausted. Mr. Davis reports a large number of
individuals Avho liave received medical aid during the year.

ABSTRACT OF THE SIXTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF EDUCATION.

The number of candidates for the ministrj' recommended by Presby'
teries for assistance during the past year comprises seventy-tour in all
stages of preparation. Of this number thirty-three are reported as
strictly theological students, who have been pui'suing their studies at
the seminaries following, viz :

At Union Theological Seminary, - - - - 17
At Columbia Theological Semitiary, - - - - 11
At Ai'kansas College, Batesville, - -. - - 3

At Princeton Theological Seminary, - ** - - - l
At the Institute for Training Colored Candidates, - 1 — 3;>

The remaining students on our lists have been pursuing their literary
and scientific studies at the folloMing thirteen universities and col-
legiate institutes, viz :

The Univei'sity of Virginia, AVashington and Lee Uiiiversitj-, Uni-
A'ersity of Missis'sippi, Wooster University (Ohio), Davidson College,
King College, Stewart College, AVestmin'ster College, Alabama State
Normal Institute, Homer College (La.), Texas Agricultural College,
Oxford Collegiate Institute (Ala.)

As usual, some of these candidates have dissolved their connection
with the Conmiittee, and left the institutions they were attending, for
reasons not involving an abandonment of the ministry, but from ill-
health or straitened circumstances.

For the past two years during which this Committee has been acting,
it has been their i)ainful duty "to report to the Assembly considerable
deficiency in the amount of receipts compared with the appropriations
made to students. For example : For the year ending April 30, 1875,
the deficiency amounted to $3,092 45; and on April 30, 1876, the amount
deficient reached the sum of §4,473. Subsequent contributions and
collections have enabled the Committee to reduce these figures to the
sum of $1,789. By the last Assembly it was resolved that " the trustees
of the General Assembly be instructed to turn over the legacy of the
Lusk estate to the Treasurer of Education, to collect and use the same
for liquidating the existing debt, or otherwise, as the exigencies of the
case may require."

Since the close of the ecclesiastical year on Ai)ril 30, 187(», the collec-
tions from this source amount to §709 5o. Of this sum all except the
sum of $100 recently collected has been distributed among those of the
.students to whom the money is due. Other sums have been given for
this i^urpose, and have been so appro})riated. The amount on hand
collected from the legacy for this objoct is $100; and the hope and be-
lief is that it will be increased l)y additional collections not long hence.
The ffict that the amount of the legacy, interest included, is nearly
double the amount of the indebtedness of the Committee is an addi-
ditional reason why we feel sure of realizing a sufficiency to pay it en-
tirely before very long.

It is the policy of the Committee to hold this legacy as a kind of
reserve fund sacredly for the extinguishment of their indebtedness,
and it will be devoted to that object as rapidly as it is collected and
paid over into our treasury. The Conmiittee has not used the current
income arising from the contributions of the churches during the past

473 EDUCATION.

year to pay this debt, and for the following reasons : 1. The Assembly
provided, at the last meeting, by resolution, that this legacy should be
so used. 2. Past experience had shown very clearly that the contribu-
tions of the churches were never sufftcient to pay the indebtedness
and to meet their pledges to students of the current year at the same
time. The Committee has also pursued the policy of distributing the
collections from the legacy anxong students at the seminaries and col-
leges who were their creditors, instead of graduates, for this reason :
The graduates were receiving salaries, and were not pressed as were
the students who were not in a situation to help themselves. But it in
hoped that l>y the blessing of God upon our affairs everv creditor of
the Committee will be paid in full " to the uttermost farthing." This
debt is due only to students.

It is a source of jirofound satisfaction to your Committee that they
are enabled to report to the General Assembly that the income of the
current year arising from individual contributions and collections fi«om
churches has been sufficient to pay in full all the appropriations made
to students. Yet the Committee, while recording this circumstance
with sincere and hearty thanks to God for His great favor thus ex-
tended, would not ignore the fact that there are two reas(ms which
have contributed to some extent to this result; and they are —

1. A smaller number of students than usual has been upon the funds
of the Committee, and, of course, a smaller amount of money v-as
needed,

2. The Committee liave felt also that it was a necessity that they
should curtail the amount i^romised — that is, that whereas formerly
the sum of $20(> was, in ordinary cases, appropriated to students Avho
were in the seminaries, this sum should be reduced to $175 ; and
just so, also, in cases of college students, that the sum of $loO should
be the amount promised, instead of what formerly was allowed, viz :
§175.

These two facts, of course, enabled them to do their work, and pay
what they promised, with greater ease.

The experience of many young men who placed themselves on the
funds of the Committee in "the expectation that their pressing wants
would be supplied, led them to the conclusion that the pledges of the
Committee were a delusion an<l a snare. They did not — they could
not — censure the Committee. This agency of the Assembly has no
poAver except to carry out tlie will of the Aaeembly, and to comply
with the wishes of th*e Presbyteries as expressed to the Committee by
the Corresponding Presbyterial Committees through their chairmen.
The Committee accepts every candidate who comes regularly recom-
mended, and appropriates, if jwssible, the sum asked by the Presby-
terial chairmen. Of course, then, it is a reasonable expectation on
the part of Conmiittee that the Presbyteries will see to it that their
churches send forward the required amounts if they be able, or, at
least, that every church shall have the opi^ortunity to give something.
But when the test is made, while there are noble organizations and
churches well indoctrinated which do contribute to their utmost to the
causes of benevolente under care of the Assembly, yet it is to be
lamented that so few esteem it a duty, and still fewer regard it a
privilege to give.

While five or six hundred of the churches appealed to have as yet
remitted nothing at all, a large proportion have contributed, in re-
sponse to the api^eals, sums much beyond the amounts sj^ecifled — some
noble churches in Virginia having' sent us flve-fold the sum asked —
many have sent the exact sum suggested, and a few have remitted less,
some large, wealthy and important churches have not responded in
any way. If these non-contributing churches belonged to those Pres-
byteries not co-operating witli this Committee, no expectation would
lie indulged of a response from them. Indeed, no appeal, in j^oint of
fact, was made to churches belonging to non-co-operating Presbj'teries,
^ave in one instance, and under j^eculiar circumsta'^ces ; and in that

BDUCATIOX. 474

ca»e tlw? response was prompt and eliaractoristieally liberal. But when
cliurcheH, which are abundantly able to assi;-<t in the \york, on the roll
of co-oijerating Presbyteries, and of Presliyteries, too, which reconi-
nieud to the Committee their candidates, and whose candidates re-
ceive their proportion of the funds furnislied Ijy other Presbyteries and
churches, contribute not so much as one cent to the treasury of the
Committee, it is indeed a disappointment to the just expectations of
the Committee to which the Assembly has entrust e<l the great work of
distributiufj their funds among the wards of the Church. AVe do not
design by tliis statement any fonual censure, yet, at least, the Commit-
tee ask to have this fact duly considered, since there seems to prevail^
in some quarters, a tendency to condemn the existing scheme of Bene-
ficiary p]<Uieation. It is but a bald truism to say tliat " no sj-stem will
work itself;" and the co-operation of the churches Ijeing the essential
element in the scheme, of course any failure in this regard causes the
plan to break down just to that extent. The Committee feel con-
strained to make the statement that these remarks apply to more than
a few churches in connection with co-operating Presbyteries. Under
this condition of things it is matter of grateful surprise that we have
been successful in escaping the painful necessity of rejiorting a defi-
ciency, even though it has been partly due to a diminished number
of candidates, and to a curtailment of the amounts appropriated to
them.

Your Committee rej^ort this year a small increase in the number of
contributing churches, although, in many cases, the sums contributed
have been diminished. That the severe stringency in financial circles,
and the depressed condition of the agricultural interests in the South,
arising from short croj^s and low prices, have contributed not a little
to the general eml»arrassment which has overtaken all the benevolent
schemes of the Church, is obvious to all. The cause of education,
however, has suffered no more than others, and, indeed, may be con-
sidered in a condition more hopeful, if not more positively prosperous,
now than it has been for some years past.

The careful perusal by all our ministry and eldership of the very able
and exhaustive report of the Special Committee on Beneficiary Educa-
tion, adopted with entire unanimity by the last Assembly, and ap-
pended to the minutes, would l^e a very profitable source of informa-
tion upon the subject, and would supply an irresistible array of argu-
ment for its universal adoption and support by all of our churches.

The Secretary A'isited during the past year four of the Synods, viz :
Missouri, Texas, Memphis and Georgia. He also presented the cause
of education to the churches as he had opportunity, and the reception
which he met with on his mission wjvs uniformly cordial, and assur-
ances of support to the cause were everj'where made. It is due to the
interests of truth, and as a testimonial to the fidelity of our brethren
of the Synod of Texas, and their loyalty to the Assembly's system of
benevolence, to record, for the information of the Church at large, and
for the encouragement of the brethren of Texas in particular, that a
more general presentation of this cause seems to have been made by
them to their churches, than in almost any Synod whose Presbyteries
co-oi)erate with the Committee ; and a larger number of churches, in
l)roix)rtion to their aggregate of churches, have contributed to this
cause than elsewhere. In this «)nnection it is especially proper to be
stated that to the Presbytery of Brazos belongs the high distinction of
being the only Presbytery in the territory covered by our Southern
Church of rvhich every church has ufade a remittance to our treasury^
Lict each minister present the claims and explain to his people the na-
ture of the scheme of Beneficiary Education ; let every evangelist, as
he travels among vacant churches, do the same ; let the chairmen of"
the Presbyterial Committees of Education urge upon all the churches,
to take up collections for this cause at the proper time ; and the record
of Brazos will no doubt be made in regard to them all.

The whole amount of funds raised during the past year, according to

475 EDUCATION.

tlie Treasurer's report, is $18,077 90. These funds have come from
churches, iudiviiUials, and a small portion from the Lusk Estate Leg-
acy, ah-eady reported. Information in regard to the state of the Avork
of"3Iinistenal Education from all parts of the field occui)ied h^r-tmr
Church in the Houth lias been sought from the chairmen of Presby-
terial Committees, but it has been furnished in a manner so meagre
as to admit of only an approximation to a correct statement. The
number of candidates reporte«l l»y the Presbyteries that have made re-
sponse is not fully known ; and the amounts raised, Iiesides that wliich
were sent to the'Conmiittee, are also unknown. The prospect for an
increase of students for the ministry is very discouraging.

It has been the studied policy of this Committee to conduct the busi-
ness of education entrusted to thejn with the least possible expense.
The salaries of Secretary and Treasurer, traveling expenses, printing
and distribution of annual reports, postage, revenue stamps, etc., con-
stitute the items Avhich did not reach last year the sum of i?2,000. We
pay no rent, but the offtcers furnish their own rooms. Economy in
the management of trust funds, has been rigidly enforced.

The Committee would close this report by asking the Assembly to
reconmiend to all our churches the earnest and devout observance of
the last Thursday of February as a day of prayer for the youth of our
Church and our country, and for God's blessing upon this cause.
Respectfully submitted, by order of the Committee,

Church Sessions, with a Church register.

Moreover, there have been prepared and issued books Mith one hun-
dred blank certificates of admission of church )nembers, with a stub

of all the facts contained in the certificate.

The issues from the press during the year have been as follows, viz :

In looking back over the results of our labors since this Committee
enierged from the ashes of Richmond, there is much to give encourage-
ment in this -work if the Church will only take it to heart. A brief

As the numbt-r of books put in circulation of our own publications
is about half of the M'hole work done by the Committee, since fully as^
many approved books of other houses are circulated as of our own, it
will be seen that fully 980,000 bound volumes — or nearly one million —
have gone forth on their mission through our instrumentality.

In addition to tract volumes, there have been issued about 950,000
copies, or 7,0!00,000 pages, of tracts.

We have issued 2,500,000 of envelopes for systematic benevolence.
We have furnished 80,000 church l)lanks, most of them gratuitously.

We have stereotyped, for the benefit of our Choctaw Mission, the
Choctaw Spelling-Book, the Choctaw Hymn-Book, and the Shorter
Catechism in Choctaw ; and have published 4,000 of the Spelling-book,
3,000 Catechisms, and 3,000 of the Hymn-Book. These are not included
in the previous table.

We have issued 40,000 copies of the Songs of Praise, 24,500 copies of
the Voice of Praise, 40,000 of the Hymns of the Voice of Praise, and
7,500 of the Hynm and Tune Book. These are included in the number
of bound volumes given above.

THE EARNEST \VORKER AND GOSPEL SOWER.

The Earnest Worker was commenced nearly seven years ago, and
from the start has received much encouragement. A sj^uoptical view
of the circulation and receipts is here given :

PL'BLICATIOX„ 478

The tigiires aljove given for 1871 and 1873, and tliose which are sub-
sequentiy given for the Chiklrai's Friend, are different from those
found in the Treasurer'^ reports for those years. In 1873, tlie only ac-
counts which the Treasurer gives in liis estimate of expenses for tliese
iournals are the printing bills. The bills for paper, etc., are not in-
cluded in it. The figuri's given in the above table, and that hereafter
given for the Children's Friend, are taken from the ledger, and include
all expenses for paper, cuts, etc. These items are included by the
Treasurer in the merchandise expenses ; as were also a part of the ex-
penses for 1871, as is stated in the annual reports for those years.

This journal has been no burden to the Church, but has paid its way
fully from the start ; unless it be charged that the furnishing of it to
the ministers of the Church makes it so. This was done, however, by
the order of the Assembly, and this Committee does not feel called on
to defend its action in that matter.

The Gospel Sower took the place of the Earnest Worker for the year
1876. This publication, it will be remembered, Avas jointly issued by,
the Board of Publication of the Reformed Church in America and this
Connnittee, under the plan of co-operation adopted by the chief judi-
catories of the two churches. Its circulation was over 8,000 co])ies.
But this joint periodical, not exactly meeting the wants of either
Church, it was deemed best to discontinue it ; and the Ea)*nest Worker
was revived on the 1st of January last.

. THE " children's FRIE3SD "

Has gone forward without anything sjjecial to record. It preserves its
circulation at an average of about 25,000. The Reformed Church still
continues to use the paper in their schools to a eonsideral)lc extent, and
co-operate with us in its publication.

The apparent profit in the case of the Earnest Worker and C/iildren\^
Friend is about their fair proportion 'toward the payment of clerk hire,
etc.

The following table Mill show the circulation of the Children's
Friend, with its receipts and expenses from tlie beginning. The semi-

GRATUITOUS WORK.

The Committee was originally organized by the General Assembly
as one of its benevolent or missionary agencies. The view of its work^
which seems to he current in some parts of the Church, that it is the-
business of the Committee to make n\ouey, was not, as we suppose,,
even thought of when the enterprise was inaugurated ; and the whole
conception of our work is changed the moment this idea is introduced
into it. Following out the general view that this is one of the causes
of true Christian benevolence, that this is a missionary agency, the
Committee has always considered it its duty to aid feeble churches and
8abbath Schools, by furnishing them the needed books and other sup-,
plies. Hence, a large part, indeed the larger part, of the money which
6

4?!) PUBLK.ATION,

lias come into the trtai^uiy IVom the contributions of the eluiiches has
gone to supply destitution and to aid feeble churches and Sa)>bath
^Schools. It has boon a source <>f comfort to us, in the midst of the
trials ;ind dittlculties of our piM^t history, that we liave lieen able to do
sometljjng for our Lord and ]\faster by tlje gratuitous distribution of
<xir })ub!ications to meet confessed wants and to supply wide-sjjread
<lestitutioii. These efibrts have not been in vain, for many ."-^abbath
Schools have been encouraged and strengthened by the aid "furnished,
nnd many Avould have had no existence but for the aid thus given.
Tracts and tract volumes have been scattered all over our ("hurch,
wherever and by whojiisoever applied for, in the safe and regular Avay
jn'ovided for Ijy our rules, and hn ve done efficient service to the i)raise of
God's grace in originating and promoting revivals of religion, in com-
forting the hearts of the sorrowing tuid in directing the young and
thoughtless to the Avay of life. ]Vot only our l)ooks, but both of our
journals have been used with similar results.

Moreover, of our scant means we have done what we couki in the
work of colportage. Several .>-ears ago colporteurs were directly
employed l>y the Committee and paid out of its benevolent fund. The
inadequacy of the means furnished for the purpose rendered elticiency
in the work impossible. Moreover, experience sho^\'ed that one
part of the plan adopted by the Assembly for our guidance was
impracticable.

As the most feasible metiiod the Committee urged the Assembly to
transfer the whole njatter to the I'resbyteries, and thus not onlj- gave
them the appointment of the colporteur, ])ut also aimed to throw on
them the whole pecuniary icsponsibility. Of course this plan saved
the Committee from tlu' evils tiuis endured ; but it has evils of its own,
or at all events it has produced undesirable results. While the I'resby-
teries nominally su])port the colporteur, in point of fact, in most
instances he is supported by this ('(.mmittee. It is rare that a Pres-
i'ytery raises a sufficient c;i])ital to support the coli)ortage work, but
generally they rely on us for the capital to do it with. AVith jiuieli
self-sacrifice we have aided theni to the full extent of our ability.
According to this plan the colijorteur is supported by his sales. lUit
the books are ours, usually bouglit by the Presbyterial Committee on
credit, at the highest possilde discount, thus taking awaj- from us all
the profit and transferring it to the Pres'iytcry to pay their colporteurs.
ISI^ow, if the Presbyteries j.aid cash down, this might be safe and
profitable, because we coidd innuediately invest the money so as to
become i>roductive. As it is, we are out of the cajiital until the col-
porteur sells the books and gets his own salary, wlien he turns over Uy
us enough to satisfy our claim. In other words, it is our ca])ital which
is employed, Imt the advantage and profit is that of the Presliytery,
and while the Connnittee l)y its fvnids does the work, the whole of the
credit goes to the Presbytery. Xow, if the work be only done to the
honour and glory of God's name, it does not matter to whom the credit
of the work is given, nor has this (.'ommittee ever allowed itself to be
<listurbed by the fact that the pro])er financial results of the use of its
\-apital were not credited to it, but Avere attributed to others; fortius
<Jonnnittee has never estinudt-d its work by its conmiercial results only,
but by the amount of goo<! ac<-oinp!i<hed by it, as one of the evange-
listic agencies of the Cluirch.

That i>art of our gratuitous work Nvhich has consisted in the distribu-
tion of money contributed by the churches will be exhibited in a com-
prehensive view by the following tal)le :

Her<?, thou, is tlio distriliutiou of s.")(j^i(;(| 02 by the agency of this
t'oumiittee. Tlie labour employed and the expenses incurred are not
:liarged on tlie tal)le of benevolent oijorations. All that is put down
as a charg-e against the store.

Tn estimating tlie work accomplished by the t 'ommittee, therefore,
as an offset against its expenses, we desire to place on record these facts
for the thoughtful consideration of our brethren, not doubting that they
will see that a greater work has been accomplished than some. have
been led to suppose.

THE PUBLISHIXCt HOUSK.

No progress has been made during the year in jiaying for the building,
rhough, under tlie order of the last Assembly, the Committee inaugu-
rated an agency to raise funds for this purpose.

On the Iniilding, which originally cost S4o,000, there is now due
881,(pO(I. The interest on this amount, diminished by the rents received
for tlie apartments not occupied by the (.'ommittee, is less than the
amount formerly paid by the C'omiiiittee for the rent of inferior accom-
modations. So that, notwithstanding the heavy debt due on the
purcluise, it is not, when tlms viewed, an expense to the Church.

It would be unspeakable relief to the Committee had it been their
privilege to close this report with what has been presented above. But
it becomes our duty to present now officially a statouent to the Gen-
eral Assembly of events unspeakably distressing to fmr whole church,
and involving the Committee in the deei)est trouble.

About the middle of last INIarch the unexjiected and startling dis-
closure was jnade to us that the Secretary of PuI)lication, Rev. E. T.
Baird, 1). D., was a defaulter to the Connnittee to an amount not less
than 822, (too ; and to set forth at one view the magnitude of his tinau-
<nal ruin, it may as well be stated here, that, Ijesides tiiis, his ])rivate
<le)>ts were soon ascertained to i)e not less than 810,000.

Dr. Baird, as Secretary of the Connnittee, was recognized in commer-
•L-iai circles as its financial agent. Before the Trustees of the Connnittee
of Publication became an incorporation, under the present charter,
transactions in conducting the l)usiness of the Committee had often t(»
stand in the name of E. T. Baird, as the Connnittee Avas not recogniz-
•ed in law. Xotes given when money was borrowedfor the C<mimittee,
or when, accounts Avere settled by note, as was sometimes necessary in
conducting a large business on a small capital, were signed somethncs
"E. T. Baird," and sometimes " E. T. Baird, Secretary." In all
transactions relating to our aftaii's he was recognized as representing
the Comniittee.

For years past, as has now come to our knowledge. Dr. Baird Avas
himself deeply involved, and in the Iiabit of borrowing money from
the banks and elsewliere, and from tiviie to time renev,-iiig tlicse loans,

481 pur.LiCATiox.

or effecting others, and thir* often at a high rate of interest. Under
these eireunistauces Dr. Baird ;«aelded to the tenii^tation to use the
funds of the Conuuittee for his own relief. Tliis he did in two ways :

First, He witlidreAV from tlie treasury funds whieli }m appropriated
to liis own purpose. These amounts lie had charged to himself on the
books of the Coumuttee, and as an offset he placed to his credit receipt-
ed hills of merchandise, which had l)een i)aitl, not with the money
Avithdrawn by iiimsclf, but with his own notes. .Secondly, He borrow-
ed money in the name of the Comnuttee of PLd)lication, giving therefor
his obligation as Secretary, but used the money borro-vved in his oavu
affairs.

These transactions covered at least several years, yet none of them
appeared on our books, and were known only to Dr. Baird. There
was no suspicion on the part of the Conmiittee of wrong or irregularity
in the acts of the trusted and honored .Secretary.

Under the process i)ursued by Dr. Baird in Ijorrowing money to
carry his debts, and compounding interest thereon, often at high rates,
the l)urden was becoming too great to be borne much longer, even with
the aid of the Connnittee's credit, which, as we have .since learned,
had, in some quarters, been lu'ought into extreme peril. It was uudei
these 'circumstances that the state of affairs, so long covered over, was
lirought to light.

Among those who held Dr. Baird's notes, sent in payment of theii
1411s, as already explained, were the Presbyterian Board of Puljlication
and several other northern houses, from Avhom the Conmiittee has been
in the haljit of purchasing books.

It was at the time of a visit made liy the Business Superintendent of
said Board, for the purpose of an investigation into his own accounts
with the Comnuttee, that Dr. Baird first made any disclosure of his
indebtedness to the Committee, or his private traiisactions ))y which
the Committee became involved. He made a written statement to a
few of the members of the Committee, which was shortly afterwardf^
laid 1)efore a full meeting, acknowledging the amount of indel)tedness
already jnentioned.

It may well be imagincn^l that this disclosure was completely astound-
ing to the Comnuttee.

To kiioAv where we stood, and what resources we had for extrication
from these difficulties, it Avas necessary to make farther investigation.
Accordingly, an accountant was engaged to make out from Dr. Baird'.-^
private accounts, compared with our OAvn, a clear statement of these
liabilities. The entire control of all money transactions was at once
put into the hands of a finance committee, consisting of the elders on
the Executive Committee.

The Finance Committee, with the aid of the accountant employed,
at once began the investigation ordered. Dr. Baird giving them every
facility in his power. The chief source of information was a private
accouiit book of Dr. Baird's, which he called his "cash book," and iu
which he kept his account with the Committee. The result of the
examination Avas rei^orted to the Committee on the 2d day of April ;
from Avliich it appeared that the amount of indebtedness stated by Dr.
Baird was very nearly in accord with the result reached l>y the
accountant.

It is proper to state, tliat tlie Finance Committee, in submitting this
statement, expressed the belief tliat it was not perfectly accurate; yet
that it was made out from the only source of information available, and
they believed it approximated the truth.

The Finance Committee reported that it was necessary to raise the
sum of $15,000 Avithin a short time, to meet outstanding commercial
paper constantly maturing ; or accept the alternative of going into
liquidation and sacrificing a most important interest of the Churcli.
In this emergency we sought the counsel and aid of a few brethren,
who were summoned by telegraj^h, some of them from the most distant
part of the Church, and who came promptly at our call. For the self-
«lenial and sacrifice of time and money made by these brethren, and
more for their valuable advice, and for the very large donations some
of them were enabled to make, they deserve the special thanks of the
whole Church.

After a free interchange of views, it was the unanimous opinion of
the Connnittee and of those in conference with us, that the idea of
abandoning the publication cause must not be at all entertained. A
scheme so important to the Church, furnishing it with a literature
that is indispensable to its healthful growth, and that cannot well be
provided except through such an institution, a business built up by the
contributions of the cliurches, and with expenditure of nuich labour
and anxious thought through fifteen years, must not be given up
without an earnest effort to save it. The Church surely would expect
this at our hands. It was, therefore, resolved to endeavour to secure
contributions to an amount not less than $15,000, to relieve the present
embarrassment; and the work was begun at once, by liberal pledges
being made by some of the brethren who had been invited to the con-
ference, and by some of the Committee. Several of our number visited
individuals and churches, and laid before them the sad tale of our
disaster. Their appeal for contributions was met by liberal responses
from all the churches visited.

In the payment of the obligations incurred by Dr. Baird, the Com-
mittee determined to assume all the notes given by him bearing his
official signature, and also those beifring his personal signature, where
given for Committee's business. We did not think it best to raise the
question as to the legal obligation iu the latter case, since we believed
the moral obligation to be clear.

Having given much and anxious thought to our present embarrass-
ments and complications, the Committee deem it proper to state more
ilistinctly a few facts already alluded to, and to lay some suggestions
before the Assembly for its consideration :

1. Our records will sliow that, from the beginning of its business, the
Comniittee has laid ujion the Secretary such restrictions in financial
matters as they deemed necessary to secure the Church from loss. No
general authority was CA-er given by the Committee to the Secretary to
borrow money. In a few specific cases, authority limited to those
cases Avas giA^en. It is true that the Committee had knoAvledge of the
fact that the Secretary did occasionally borroAV small sums of money
for temporary accommodation ; but this 'excited no suspicion, and did
]K)t seem to call for any notice from the Comniittee, inasmuch as it Avas
rendered necessary by the occasional demands of business. The
authority of the Secretary to draAV upon the Treasurer Avas general, for

483 ITBLICATIOX.

the currt'ut l'X1)ous(.'s of the business de}«irtiueiit, iiieludiug the publi-
cation of the two papers; for other matters it was limited to ><pecitic
onlers of tlie ('ommittee. It may be that a 1 tetter systeiu of eheekf+
and Itaiauees may be devised for proteetion in future; which subject
should claim on the part of tlie Committee early and careful considera-
tion; l)Ut we cannot hope for a system in wliicli it M'ill not be necessa-
ry to place coulidence to a considerable extent in the integrity of the
Church's agents.

2. Accountants who have examined our books have stated that there
was nothing in these accounts that would bring to our knowledge the
Committee's eomi>lications Mith Dr. IJaird.

3. As a wrong impression has been made upon the minds of some
concerning therelations of the Committee to the Printing Office owned
by Dr. Baird, the Committee desire to state, that a carefully prepared
paper, relating to this subject, is to be found on our minutes (which are
trans]uitted for the inspection of the Asseml)ly,) for September 16th,
1867, from wliich the following facts arc inade to appear : 1st, That
with the purchase of the ])rintiug office the Committee had nothing to
do. It was made V>y Dr. Baird on his own account ; but as the Com-
mittee believed through a desire to facilitate the Publication Avork;
2d, That it was never the jnirpose or policy of the Committee in con-
ducting the Publication Itusiness to pui'chase or to emi)loy jtrinting
jtresses Of its own ; l)Ut the relation of the Committee to tiie whcie
matter Avas simply a l)usiuess transaction, wlierelty a contract was
made with Dr. Baird on advantageous terms, and this contract defines
the character of tlie approval of the Committee to that arrar.gement ;•
8d, That the prices were determined by the Committee, and not by
Dr. Baird, and that, therefore, in no sense did he ever make a contract
witli himself.

It is pro])er to add, that wliatever judgment may be formed concern-
ing tliis arrangement, on general principles, in the opinion of the
Conunittee, tlie i)eculiar circumstances under which it originated (as
set forth in the ])a.per aforesaid,) made it advantageous at the time, and
the work of tlie Committee has derived Vtenelit from it ever since.

4. Should the present disaster be repaired, as we confidently believe
it will be, tliere is no reason known to us why the business of tlie
Committee should not continue, not only Avithout embarrassment, l)ut
with increased prosperity and usefulness, esi^ecially if its oj^erations lie
vigorously sustaine(l by the Church.

5. A thankful recognition of their kindness is due those northern
houses that have extetuled their credit to the Committee in our present
embarrassment, especially to the Presbyterian Board of Pul>lication.

6. The Committee is of opinion ttiat certain regulations for the admin-
istration of its affiiirs might be safely adopted, and recommends to the
General Assembly for its api^oval, or for reference to the Committee to
be appointed at its present meeting, the following, to wit :

That the Secretary and Treasurer each be required to give bond and
proper security for the faithful discharge of duty ; that the Treasurer
only shall receive all moneys belonging to the Committee, keeping
separate accounts of each fund ; that all moneys, as soon as they are
receiA'ed, shall l>e deposited in bank to the credit of each fund ; that no
money sliall be paid out except upon the check of the Secretary, coun-
tersigned by the Treasurer ; that no money shall be borroAved except
by authority of an express A'ote of the Conimittw ; and that all obliga-
tions of the Committee, as Avell as all debts contracted in its behalf,
shall be listed and reported to the Committee at its next meeting,
thereafter.

7. The Assembly Is herel^y earnestly requested to remoA'e tlie restric-
tions as to the terms on Avhich the publications of the Committee are
-sold, and leaA'e them to the discretion of the Committee.

or delegates to the projwsed coufi irrice to be held in lioudon ou the —
dav of July, 187o.

"And Rev8. >Stuai-t Robinson, J. A. Lefevre. W. V. ^Slnrkland and
Ruling Elder L. diaries Inglis Avere appointetl this eonnnittee under
the foregoing resolution." (Minutes, p. 40.)

As the time for eorrespondent-r and arrangement fortl. • eonference
at London was very limited, the Committee organized and opened cor-
respondence witli a general eonnnittee at Ncav York, kimwn as the
American Connnittee on the ('(<nfederation of Pi-esbyteriau Churches,
and representing some six Presbyterian bodies of the I'nited States
and British America. A constitution (tentative) px-ei)ared by the
American Committee, to be submitted to the conference in Loudon,
was submitted to us with tlie request that Ave suggest any amendments
that might occur to us for tlie consideration of the American Connnit-
tee, to meet on the loth of June to make a final revision of tliis tenta-
tive constitution before i^resenting it to the London conference.

Your Connnittee considered tliis proposed tentative constitution care-
fully, and suggested amendments freely, and forwarded a draft of the
constitution as amended l)y us. But tlie American Committee faiHng
to meet on the loth of June, our i)roposed constitution was submitteil
directly by the Secretary of the American Committee to the conference,
together with tlie tentative constitutions of both the American aiiil
British Committees. It was found to be in remarkable accord Avith tlie
constitution submitted by the Britisli Committee; and the constitution
finally ado})ted by the confermce differed little in any material iM>lnt
from tliat Avhicli your convention proposed. The most important
change concerned the size of the body. Your Committee had suggested
that the council consist of only one iiundred delegates.

Thougli at first it was not deenit'd of essential importance that our
Churcli should l)e represented in this conference by the personal atten-
dance of a delegate or delegates, yet, after some correspondence and a
more mature consideration of tlie matter, it seemed to your Committee
extremely desirable, if not absolutely essential to tlie ends aimed at,
that tlie personal attendance of a delegation should be secured. Tlie
Connnittee, therefore, appointed ]3rs. Houe, Lefevre and Rol>insou
delegates to the conference, of Avhom only Dr. Eobinson attended the
conference, and in liis report as ti delegate will inform the Asseml)ly
more fully in detail what was Tioue at this London meeting.

The Assembly Avill see from an examination of this constitution,
which, with the proceedings of this conference, are herewith sub-
mitted, that every care Avas taken to guard against any infringement
by the General Council of the constitutional riglits, or the doctrine and
order of the scA-eral Churches entering into tlie confedei'ation. This
Avill apjiear more especially from the folloAving iJroA'ision of the consti-
tution concerning tho 2)oirers of the council, A-iz:

" But it shall not interfere Avitli the existing laws or constitution of
any Church in the Alliance, or Avitli its interiuil order or external rela-
tions."

On the other hand, the great objects Avliich the constitution eiuiu-
ciates as those to be ettected by this Alliance — such as seeking the Avel-
fare of the Aveak and persecuted Churehes; disseminating information
concerning the kingdom of Christ ; commending the Presbyterian
.system as Scriptural; the distribution of mission Avork, etc. These
commend themselves to all true Presliyterians.

It giA-es your Committee pleasure to rejiort that in all their corre-
spondence and intercourse Avith both the American and British Com-
mittees they liaA'c been treated Avith CA-ery kindness and consideration.
EA'ery suggestion made by them in regard to the constitution of the
Alliance or to the meeting of the council has been receiA-ed Avith the
greatest deference and respect. And from the brethren of all the A'ari-
ous bodies represented in the conference they haA-e receiA'ctl tokens of
resj^ect, chi'istian affection and confidence. Nor haA'e they discoA'ered
in their intercourse Avith the l)retl!ren of these A-arious Prosbyteria::

bodies anything to excite the shghtest apprehension that in continuing
this intercourse there nuij' arise any troul)le in the future.

In conchision, Ave beg leave to say that the result of our consideratiou
of this whole subject and of carefully watching the development of
this scheme for tlie confederation of the Presbyterian Churches of the
Avorld, has been to strengthen and deepen our conviction of the impor-
tance to the interests of Presliyterianism in the world generally, and to
our own Church in particular, in the peculiar circumstances in wliich
we are placed by the Providence of God. In our judgment it opens
up to us an ojiportunity to give efficiency to our peculiar testimony for
a pure Presbyterian doctrine and order, and for our si)ecial testimony
in behalf of tlie non-secular, free Christian communions. And, there-
fore, with the utmost confidence do we recommend to this Assembly
the api^roval of the constitution projiosed, and of the arrangement
made for a general council at London, and the appointment of dele-
gates to the first General Council to be holden at Edinburgh during the
year 1S77.

It was against the judgment of your Committee that by the action of
the American, and the acquiesence of tlie British Committee, the meet-
ing of the council was postponed from July, 1876 — the time fixed by
the London conference — till 1877 ; and yet we can see tliat there is ad-
vantage to our Church in the postiionement, from the fact that the
delay will give to delegates wlio may be appointed full time to nudve
arrangements for tlieir voyage across the Atlantic, and give opportunity
to the General Asseml)ly of 1877 to fill vacancies in the delegation,
should it be found that those first appointed should not 1)6 able to
attend.

"With a view to present the subject matter of this report in form for
the consideration of the Assembly, your Committee recommend the
adojition of the following resolutions :

1. Hesolved, That this Assembly hereby expresses its approval, iu
general, of the iiroceedings of the conference held at London in July
last, composed of the representatives of a large portion — some 15,000
congregations — of tlie Presbyterian Churches of the world.

2. That this Assembly accepts as satisfactory the constitution agreed
upon by that conference, jiroviding for an Ecumenical Presbyterian
Council every three yeai's.

3. That this Assenibly will appoint delegates to represent the Presby-
terian Church in the United .States in the General Council to be holden
in Edinburgh in 1877.

REPORT OF THE DELEGATE TO THE COXFEREXCE HELD
IN LONDON JULY 21-23, 187-5, TO FRAME A CONSTITU-
TION FOR A GENERAL PRESBYTERIAN COUNCIL.

To the General Assembly to meet in Savannah May 18, 1876 :

The undersigned begs leave to report to the General Assembly tliat,
being appointed a delegate, together with Drs. Hoge and Lefevre, to
the conference at London, by the Committee on Confederation of
Presbyterian Churches, app<;>inted by the General Assembly of 1875, he
proceeded to London, and was in attendance on the sessions of the
conference froni the opening to the close of the same.

COXFEDEKATIOX OF THE PKESUYTERIAX CILURCIIES. 41?0

Tlio undersigned, as representative of tlie Southern Presbyterian
Churcli, met in the eouferenee the rei)resentatives of near twenty
other Presbyterian bodies from various parts of tlie Morkl. He takes
pleasure in saying that from these representatives, Avithout exception,
as well as from the good Presbyterian i)eopIe of London, he received,
both personally and as your representative, every juark of aflectionate
christian regard ; and during the conference there Avas not the slight-
est jar or serious disagreement on any subject that came before the
body. Your representative spoke his mind just as freely as if he Avere
speakijig in our oAvn General Assembly, on every question that arose
during the deliljcrations — even to the extent of exjiounding, as well as
he could, the distinctive vieAVS of Presbyterianism Avhich characterize
our Southern Church. And, so tar as he could judge, it gaA'e great
jileasure to our British Presbyterian brethren to learn that there Avas
.so large a body of Presbyterians in the Southern States holding so
tenaciously to the great principles of doctrine and order asserted by the
early Scottish fathers. On the other hand, it gaA-e your represeutatlA-e
great pleasure and incited dcA-out gratitude to Goll to And tliat, not-
Avithstanding the noise Avhich the deA'otees of a progressiA'e theology
have been making in Scotland and elscAvhere in Britain, the great b(xly
of the ministry and peoi)le of the seA-eral different Presbyterian
Churches in Britain seem to stand fast by the old landinarks, aiid that
the excitement and attention aroused by the ncAV and startling dogmas
of the "Progressive Theology" only adds another illustration of this
fact, that in the theological and ecclesiastical, as in the sphere of
l^hysics, " the empty carts make the most noise."

The deliberations of the Conference Avere carried on almost entirely
after the fashion of a committee meeting. The three forms of consti-
tution, Avhich, in order to saA'e time, had been i^repared for submission
for the consideration of the Conference, Avere carefully comjjared and
the propositions scanned word by Avord. That form suggested by the
British committee Avas remarkably similar to the form suggested by
the committee of our Assembly — a form Avhich Avas submitted to the
Anaerican committee at Ncav York, but Avhieh, because of the failure
of the American committee to meet on the loth of June, according to
appointment, Avas laid directly before the Conference by the Secretary
of the American committee. On account of this similarity the consti-
tution finally adopted by the Conference was, in all imjiortant points,
in accord Avith those submitted by the British and the Southern Pres-
byterian committees. The chief points of difference betAveen the con-
stitution proposed by our committee and that finally adopted are : First,
in regard to the extent of the authority to be giA-en to the proceedings
of the General Council. We had inserted the proA'ision that the pro-
ceedings of the General Council should be officially submitted to
the Supreme Courts of the scA-eral bodies constituting the alliance for
their i)rayerfal consideration; Avhereas in the constitution adopted
there is no obligation at all laid upon these courts to take action of any
sort upon the proceedings of the General Council, the proA'ision being
simj)ly for "communicating the minutes of its proceedings to the
Supreme Courts forming the alliance."

The second point in which our proposed constitution differed froni
that adopted by the Conference Avas that relating to the size of the
council. AVe proposed a council of not OA'er one hundred. The consti-
tution adopted proA-ides for a council of three hundred. The chief
objection to so large a council is the expense attending so large a dele-
gation, especiall3' Avhen it becomes needful to cross the ocean. It Avas
argued, on the other hand, that a large body is necessary to giA'e true
dignity and moral influence to the proceedings of the council, and that
the great expense need probably not ))e incurred more than once in six
or nine years. It is the opinion of your delegate, hoAvever, that after
the experiment of so large a council the number Avill be reduced at
least one-half.

4-lJl 'OXFEDKRATIOX OF THE r'RE8I5YT?:KlAX CHURCIIFH!.

The liu-'is of repvesentatioii in the council selected by the conference
was the number of congreiiations in each of the l)odies composing the
Alliance. Your delegate urged tliat the basis of representation should
be that of ministers and congregations combined, and pointed out the
irregularity that must result, seeing that in all tlie American bodies
the numlter of congregations is much larger than the number of min-
isters, whereas, in the British bodies, as proiuildy in the Continental
also, the number of jninisters is equal to, or in excess of, the nundjcrof
congregations. This objection Avas overruled by tlie votes of the British
representatives themselves. This arrangement, together with the
adoption of the rule that no body in the Alliance should have more
than fortj' representatives, led to a large excess of representation from
the Southern Presbyterian Cliurch in proportion to the number of our
ministry. While tlie principle of the maximuni of forty confines the
Northern Presbyterian body to that number, the Southern Presljyterian
Church, with less than a fourth of their ministers— in its eighteen
hundred congregations — is apportioned a representation of twenty-
eight delegates, a larger delegation than any other body in the Alliance
except the Northern Presbyterian body.

This explanation is maile here lest it should be thought that the dis-
]iroportionate representation in favor of the Southern Presbyterian
( 'hurch in this Council should be supposed to have been brought about
through any agen'cy of its representative in this conference.

As there seems to be some misapprehension in regard to the expense
attending a voyage across the Atlantic, your delegate, after two exper-
iments, feels authorized to say that the entire expense of a voyage,
going and returning from our sealiord to Edinburgh, need not exceed
from one hundred and fifty to two hundred (U)llars, with all the usual
comforts of travel by sea, and a large portion of that may be repaid to
those who desire to supplement their libraries with the older books
tliat every minister needs — such buoks 1)eing exeeedii^gly clieap in
liritain, and there being no duty on books published twenty years
before the date of shipment. And an additional consideration is that
it Avould be of great advantage to our Church if a larger number of our
]iiinistry and ruling elders could visit the land where our Presbyteri-
anism had its origin, and have the opportunity to stud^y, by aid of
personal observation, the several phases vrhich the Presbyterianism of
the Reforjuation has developed by reason of the varying cireujustances
under which it has grown up.

As to the expense of a delegation to a council on the other side of
the Atlantic, it is highly probable tliat a sufficient number of minis-
ters and ruling elders to represent our Church acceptably' could be found
every six or nine years who, either from their own means or means
cheerfully furnished by their friends and pastoral charges, could make
the voyage; while at least every alternate meeting of the Council
would bo" held on our side of the Atlantic, and attendance upon it
would involve little exi^ense.

As the proceedings of the Council are to be ^lurely conferential, and,
therefore, the number of votes cast on any occasion are less important,
such number of delegates only as may be conveniently sent at any time
need be sent. If thought important, no doubt the principle could be
estalilished that the delegates from any body in the Council, 1)C they
few or many, shall cast the full vote to which such body is entitled in
the Council. These are ol)viously minor matters, which will Ije settled
as experience may demonstrate to be wise. Indeed, in case it were
inconvenient for any of the delegates chosen to attend the Council at
any meeting, it would l)e entirely competent for the delegation, by
written communication simjjly, to lay before the Council any matters
which they might deem it iniportant to have considered, and such
views of the subject as they might desire to present. So that the ques-
tion of the expense of attendance upon the Council presents one of
those nierely theoretical difficulties v.'liich will vanish before an earnest
purpose to execute the \clieine proposed.
