follows :
REPORT ON WOMEN'S WORK.
Yovir Committee has studied with interest the admirable report of the
Board of Directors of the Women's General Missionary Society. It shows an
encouraging, ?.ggressive work along seven distinct lines of missionary service:
The Foreign Department, Home Mission and Ministerial Relief, Freedmen's
Mission, Church Extension and Parsonage work. Junior Missionary Society,
Literature Department, and the Thank-offering Department.
In all these divisions of activity the work of the Women has proved a
most valuable factor in the life of our Church. This organized movement be-
gan only seventeen years ago, but its powers have been so quickened and its
growth has been so vigorous that its records to-day show 977 societies with
26,927 members.
The work of the women has also proved one of the most effective agencies
in developing the systematic beneficence of the Church. It has been singularly
instrumental in leading many of our people into the spirit and practice of con-
secrated giving. We note with gratification that the last annual contri-
bution amounted to $75,805.
A careful study of the report of the Women's Board will show that in the
fields of India and Egypt most effective service has been rendered, service
crowned with special blessings. We note with thankfulness that the work of
the Women's Board is moving up the Nile Valley, and that soon a school for
the training of girls will be opened in distant Luxor. A movement of so much
significance, and having in it unmeasured possibilities for the millions of Egypt
and the opening South country, should awaken the interest and be followed by
the prayers of the whole Church.
The co-operation of this Board with the Board of Home Missions contin-
ues with the pleasantest and most cordial relations. Special mention is made
of the large donations of $8,400 the past year, for the support of new work,
I90I.] Minutes of General Assembly. 245
in vhc care of the home board. This was a great assistance and encouragement
in the effort that is being made to extend our home mission work. We
recommend :
1. That the report of the Board of Directors of the Women's General
Missionary Society be adopted.
2. That we commend the organized work of the women to all the mothers
and daughters of our Church, and recognize in it a loud call to them from the
Master.
3. That we would emphasize the earnest appeal which the Board is mak-
ing for workers in the foreign field. We trust that in the future, as in the
past, the womanhood of our Church will respond in loyal, loving devotion to
the Saviour as he opens before them the weighty responsibilities of the heathen
world.
4 That the representatives of the Board, Mrs. William J. Reid and Mrs.
Mary W. Porter, now be heard by the Assembly. ,
The following resolutions in regard to the estate of Mrs.
Mary Stewart were adopted :
RESOLUTIONS ON THE MARY STEWART ESTATE.
Whereas, This Assembly has learned that the executors of the estate of
Mrs. Mary Stewart, late of Peoria county, Illinois, are now ready to pay over
the bequest of $3,000 made by said Mrs. Stewart to the General Assembly of
the United Presbyterian Church of North America, but that said executors,
desire this Assembly to designate or appoint its representative or agent to re-
ceive and receipt for said legacy ; therefore, be it resolved,
1. That the Trustees of the General Assembly of the United Presbyterian.
Church of North America, the corporate representative of this Assembly, be
and said corporation is hereby authorized and directed to receive and receipt
for the legacy bequeathed to this Assembly by the said Mrs. Stewart, deceased.
2. That in accordance with the purpose of the testatrix as expressed in
her will as to the use to which said bequest should be applied, the said Trustees
of the General Assembly of the United Presbyterian Church of North America,
are hereby directed, upon receipt of said legacy, to pay over the same to the
Women's General Missionary Society of the United Presbyterian Church of

lutions :
254 Minutes of General Assembly, [vol. x, no. 2,
1. That the overture to repeal that part of Section IV., Chapter XXIV.,
of the Confession of Faith, which reads, "The man may not marry any of his
wife's kindred nearer in blood than he may of his own, nor the woman of her
husband's kindred nearer in blood than of her own," has received a clear con-
stitutional majority of the votes of the Church, and. therefore, has been
carried.
2. That this Assembly hereby ratifies the decision of the presbyteries, and
declares that portion of Section IV. of Chapter XXIV. of the Confession of
Faith that was in overture repealed.
The report of the Special Committee on Reform was read
and adopted. The nomination of the delegation to the conven-
tion of the Anti-Saloon League, provided for in the first resolu-
tion of this report, was referred to the Committee on Nomina-
tions. The report is as follows :
REPORT OF THE SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON REFORM.
Three papers were put into our hands : One from the American Anti-
Saloon League, one from the superintendent of the Sabbath school department
of the W. C. T. U., and the report of the Standing Committee on Reform.
It is time for the most serious thought and strenuous effort on the part of
the followers of Christ to meet and withstand the tides of evil which character-
ize our times.
The rum traffic has always been a manifest anarchy against the law of God.
and one of the most fruitful sources of social and political corruption, and of
anarchy against civil law. and at the same time a perpetual destroyer of human
interests. But the question becomes more serious when the "powers ordained
of God" for the protection of human society are found to be in actual alliance
with this great destroyer of humanity and at the same time protectors and
promotors of its baleful influence. When Christ was inaugurated into his
Messianic office, which included his offices of Prophet, Priest and King, he
enunciated the fundamental principles of his administration of all his offices
when he said, "Thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness." How can
we, the followers of Christ, do otherwise than stand with him on this great
platform? When Satan proposed to give him all the kingdoms of this world
if he would fall down and worship him, our Lord replied : "Get thee hence,
Satan, for it is written. Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only
shalt thou serve." When, therefore, the attainment and exercise of political
power are involved, can Christian citizens do other than stand with Christ
our Redeemer and King?
With these great principles in view we would say, as the redeemed of the
Lord, that we are not omni-partisan. or non-partisan, when these great fimda-
mental principles of Christ's government are set at naught by any party or ad-
ministration, but we are distinctly and emphatically Christ-partisan. Yet
believing that the Anti-Saloon League is accomplishing great good in temper-
ance reform, we would recommend that members of this Assembly, or of the
United Presbyterian Church, who expect to attend the sixth National Anti-
Saloon League Convention, to be held in Washington, D. C, commencing Tues-
day, Dec. 3, 1901, be entitled to credentials as delegates signed by the Principal
Clerk of the Assembly.
In response to the request of the W. C. T. U. we would recommend that
the fourth Sabbath of November be set apart by the Assembly as Temperance
Sabbath, and that pastors and sessions be urged so to conduct the public ser-
vice of that day as to promote this reform.
igoi.] Minutes of General Assembly. 255
We also present to the Assembly the recommendations of the Standing
Committee on Reform and commend them for adoption, viz.:
That it direct the Permanent Committee on Reform to meet and organize
early in the year, and to proceed at once to open correspondence with com-
mittees or representatives of as many Churches as possible ; and that, securing
such co-operation for the present, and preparing the way for it in the future,
the committee be authorized in the name of the General Assembly to act as its
agent in seeking to secure needed reforms, and in preventing all efforts to legal-
ize and popularize prevailing vices.
That we recommend to our people the discriminating support of all
Christian reforms in civil and social life.
It was resolved that when the Assembly adjourn it adjourn
until Monday at 9 o'clock.
The Assembly adjourned after prayer by Rev. J. M. Adair.

A partial report of the Committee on Judiciary was read,,

:2 56 Minutes of General Assembly. [vol x, no. 2,
PARTIAL REPORT ON JUDICIARY.
1. The National Women's Suffrage Association requests the Assembly
to pass a resolution and petition Congress in favor of "women's suffrage." We
recommend the following : Resolved, That inasmuch as the request relates to
the civil status of woman, we do not deem it expedient that this ecclesiastical
•court shall take action in the matter.
2. In the appeal by Rev. J. R. Wallace froin the decree of the county court
of Allegheny county, dismissing his suit against the trustees of the General
Assembly, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, reversed the degree and held
the lower court should take cognizance of the case, and inquire into the regu-
larity of the action of the General Assembly complained of by Mr. Wallace.
The case was heard again, and the trial judge's finding has been filed, holding
that the General Assembly had not followed its own rules, and that its action in
1893, sustaining the appeal of Lake Presbytery, was irregular and void. Ex-
ceptions to the court's rulings and findings of fact and law have been filed by
our counsel. These have not yet been argued and no decision will be made
until a hearing shall be had thereon. We recommend the following action :
Resolved, That the course of the trustees be approved and that further pro-
ceedings in the case be left to the trustees of the Assembly.
3. The case of H. J. Kyle came to the Assembly in 1900 from the Synod
of the Punjab by reference. That Assembly returned it to the Synod, recom-
mending it be referred to the court in whose bounds Mr. Kyle is residing for
issue upon the basis of evidences of repentance. This court is the Presbytery
of Delaware. It reports that it has examined the case and, being satisfied
of Mr. Kyle's repentance, has issued it by removal of the sentence of suspen-
sion and by restoration to the gospel ministry. We therefore recommend
the following action : Resolved, That the action of the Presbytery of Delaware,
in restoring Mr. H. J. Kyle to the office of the gospel ministry be approved, and
that the Presbytery of Delaware be instructed to place his name on its roll.
The report of the Committee on Bills and Overtures, on
limitations of appeals in cases of discipline, was read and adopteci.
It is as follows :
REPORT ON THE LIMITATION OF APPEALS.
We have considered the report of the Committee on the Limitation of Ap-
peals in cases of Discipline, and recommend the following action :
I. That this Assembly submits to the presbyteries the following over-
ture:
Shall the Book of Government be amended in the following particulars,
viz. :
1. Amend Part I., Chapter V., Article IV., bj' striking out Sec. 4.
2. Amend Part III., Chapter XII., Section 2, so as to read: "Every de-
cision in any court, except the highest, having jurisdiction, is subject to the
review of a superior court."
3. Amend Section i, of Article II., Chapter XII.. to read as follows:
"A reference is a judicial representation made by an inferior to a superior
court having jurisdiction, of a matter not yet decided."
4. Amend Article II., Chapter XII., by inserting the following as Section
2\ "In cases of discipline an appeal or complaint may be made to the Synod
as the court of final jurisdiction, but an appeal or complamt concerning doc-
trines, general regulations,, the interpretation of law, or the regularity of pro-
ceedings, may be made direct from the presbytery or synod to the General
Assembly, whose judgment shall be for the guidance of the lower courts.
iQOi.] Mittutes of General Assembly. 257
Such appeal or complaint shall always be made in writing, and shall contain a
clear statement of the issue involved. The General Assembly shall enter upon
its records the appeal as presented from the lower court, a clear statement of
its own decision, and the grounds upon which it is made."
II. That a competent committee be appointed to revise the Book of Gov-
ernment and Discipline so as to make it conform to the action limiting appeals
in cases of discipline to the Synods, and in any other particulars in which
revision may be necessary.
The Committee on the Board of Home Missions presented its
report. Before entering upon its consideration E. S. McKitrick,
D.D., led the Assembly in prayer. The report was adopted and
is as follows :
REPORT ON HOME MISSIONS.
There have been placed in our hands the report of the Board of Home Mis-
sions, the report of the General Committee of Home Missions, and the report
of the Special Committee on unemployed ministers and vacant congregations.
From the report of the Board it appears that 218 stations were aided
during the past year. The amount of money thus expended was $79,658.72,
an average of $382.97 to each station. The record shows that the work in the
field has gone on encouragingly though not rapidly. There has been a net in-
crease in membership of 1,394, s'^d in the Sabbath schools, a gain of 121 teachers
and 2,017 scholars. It is worthy of special notice that while the net gain in the
membership of the whole Church in America was only 9-10 of one per cent.,
the gain in the home mission congregations was 8 i-io per cent.
The total expenditure of the Board during the year was $82,585.76. The
receipts from all sources were $80,920.36, leaving a deficit of $1,664.40. This
amount, added to the debt reported at the close of last year, makes a total pres-
ent indebtedness of $5,576.
From the report of the General Committee it appears that the aid asked
for the coming j'ear was greater than ever before in the history of the Church.
The total amount applied for was $104,413. Of this $18,150 was for exclusively
new work. Your committee look upon this as a satisfactory and highly en-
couraging fact. It shows that the Church is awaking to the possibilities open-
ing to her in the home field, and sees the necessity of lengthening her cords as
well as of strengthening her stakes. This is as it should be. and it indicates
a future of increasing usefulness and power for our beloved Church. The
committee, after prayerful deliberation, reduced the amount asked for to
$100,550. It was felt that a further reduction could not be made without doing
serious injury to the work. Appropriations aggregating this large sum are
recommended to the General Assembly.
With these facts before us your committee beg leave to offer the follow-
ing resolutions :
1. That the report of the Board of Home Missions be approved.
2. That the report of the General Committee of Home Missions, with the
recommendations therein contained, be adopted.
3. That we render to God our sincere thanks for the blessings which he
has given to our work during the past year.
4. That we express our entire confidence in the Board of Home Missions
and its Corresponding Secretary, and commend the efforts made to stimulate
the Church, not only to give more lil)erally of its means, but to enter into and
establish work in new and inviting fields.
5. That presbyteries be directed to enforce more rigidly the rules re-
lating to the applications for aid ; namely, to the fifteen year limit rule, the
258 Minutes oj General Assembly. [vol. x, no. 2,
rule of the sliding scale, and the rule requiring congregations organized three
years and over to contribute not less than $5.00 per member for the support
of pastor or stated supply.
6. That the time has come for a decided enlargement of our home mis-
sion work, and therefore we commend the action of the last General Commit-
tee in recommending appropriations reaching $100,000, and we call upon the
Church to begin at once the work of raising this amount, so that when the year
closes every dollar asked for shall be in the treasury.
In regard to the matter on unemployed ministers and the settlement of
vacant congergations, your committee would recommend the approval of the
report of the Special Committee appointed by the last General Assembly and
would offer the following resolutions :
1. That each presbytery be instructed to hold a conference at an early
date upon the authority and rights of the presbytery, and how these are to
be maintained in the matter of vacancy and supply.
2. That the Board of Home ]\f issions through its Corresponding Secretary
be directed to furnish to the Superintendent of Alissions upon request the
names of ministers and licentiates desiring pastoral settlement, and that all
such ministers and licentiates be urged to send their names to the board
for such use.
3. That presbyteries be instructed to use great care in nominating men to
fill the office of Superintendent of Missions, and to appoint a committee of sup-
plies with the Superintendent of Missions as chairman, who shall be charged
with the care of vacant pulpits. Congregations shall not be permitted to supply
themselves excepting through said committee.
4. Th.^t tlie attention of presbyteries be called to the rule, and that they be
instructed carefully to enforce it, that only licentiates or ordained ministers are
to receive appointments in vacant pulpits.
The nomination of the Committee provided for in the report
of the General Committee of Home Missions, part HI. , resolu-
tion 5, vras referred to the Committee on Nominations.
The report of the Committee on the Board of Freedmen's
Missions was read. In order that this report might be finally
disposed of, the time of adjournment was postponed ten minutes.
The report was adopted and is as follows :
REPORT ON FREEDMEN'S MISSIONS.
The Committee on Freedmen's Missions has had referred to it the report
of the Freedmen's Board. We have also held an interesting consultation with
the Corresponding Secretary. We beg leave to call attention to the following
particulars in the Board's report:
First, The manifest favor of God in preserving the lives and in a large
measure the health of the members of the Board, and of all the active workers
in the field, and in making their labors instrumental in the conversion of an
unusually large number of precious souls.
Second, The encouraging progress of the work. While no new fields have
been entered, yet the report, as a whole, is more than ordinarily hopeful and
cheering, and while the total number of church members is smaller, the in-
crease by profession is more than three times larger than last year. Knoxville
College has passed its twenty-fifth year of efficient work, and is evidently ac-
complishing more fully than ever before the great purpose for which it was
founded. It is manifest that the Board and the College have been earnestly
1 90 1 . ] Minutes of General Assembly. 259
and successfully endeavoring to carry out the policy of evangelization as well
as education. They have planted and fostered churches as well as schools, and
the results prove that the United Presbyterian Church can and ought to be ex-
tended among the populations of the south.
Third, The financial condition. We notice with pleasure the growth of lib-
erality among the freedmen themselves. They are making a commendable
effort at self-support and the average per member this year for religious pur-
poses is more than 33 per cent, larger than last year. We regret to notice,
that while the total receipts by the Board have been larger than last year, yet
the burdensome debt, which has been hampering the Board for so long, has
increased rather than diminished.
Fourth, The work in Cuba. We notice that, owing to the lack of funds for
this specific purpose and the evidence that the educational needs of the Cubans
were being supplied in good measure from other sources, the Board did not
deem it wise to enter this new field, as authorized by the last Assembly.
Fifth, The interest among the southern people. We hear with satisfaction
from the Corresponding Secretary of the awakening interest among the white
people of the south in our work. Men of wealth and influence are coming for-
ward, offering their buildings and lands, and inviting our Board to occupy the
field and carry on the work.
We offer the following resolutions :
1. We express our humble gratitude to God for his manifest favor and
blessing upon the work and the workers.
2. Since we deem evangelization more vital to the welfare of the freed-
men than secular education, we heartily commend the policy, which is being
pursued, of establishing churches as well as schools throughout the south land.
3. In view of the manifest providence of God in opening up new fields of
work, and the loud call that comes to us to enter these fields ; and in view of
the heavy debt resting upon the Board and effectually preventing the forward
movement that ought to be undertaken ; we earnestly commend the Freedmen's
Board to the increased liberality of the Church, and urge upon pastors and
sessions the duty of presenting the claims of this work to their congregations.
4. The Board is requested to embody in its annual report a statistical
table of the educational work among the freedmen, showing the stations at
which schools are being conducted, the number of teachers in each school, the
number of pupils enrolled, the average attendance during the year, and the
number of months each school is kept open.
5. In view of the increased demands of the work among the freedmen
upon the time and thought of the Board and the rapidly enlarging interests in-
volved, we deem the time not far distant when the Corresponding Secretary
should devote his entire time to its oversight.
After prayer by J. B. McMichael, D.D., the Assembly

26o Minutes of General Assembly. [vol. x, no. 2,
Proceeded to the order of the day, the consideration of the
report of the Committee on the Board of Foreign Missions. This
report, as amended and adopted, is as follows :
REPORT ON FOREIGN MISSIONS.
The annual report of the Board of Foreign Missions ; papers concerning
the Sudan mission ; the report of Asyut College Committee, and a communi-
cation containing requests respecting a charter for Asyut Training College;
the proper recognition of college instructors, medical and hospital assistants
so as to secure privileges of transportation ; and the method of securing inter-
est and support in the establishing of colleges in our mission fields in Egypt
and India, have been submitted to your committee for consideration.
The blessing of God has been freely bestowed upon the foreign work
during the almost half a century of its history, success has attended the ef-
forts of our missionaries, the Church has shown commendable liberality in
her support of the work, and the prayers of God's people have been answered
in the ingathering of souls.
Two missionaries have entered into rest during- the year, Rev. R. R. Mc-
Clure, of Zafarwal, India, on April 27, 1900, and Mrs. Elizabeth J. Sowash,
at Alexandria, Egypt, on Sept. 4, 1900. Two of the children of missionaries
have passed away, Mary, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. T. F. Cummings, at
Pasrur, India, on May i, 1900; and Agnes, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. W. H.
Reed, at Alexandria, Egypt, on May 15, 1900.
The educational work in the foreign field has received special favors in the
liberal gifts secured through the agency of the committee for the purchasing
of grounds and for the erection of buildings for the Asyut Training College,
and by the donation of $12,000 from Miss Eleanor C. Law, and Miss Ina L.
Robertson, for erecting and equipping a suitable building for Gordon Mission
College, at Rawal Pindi, India. Already about $60,000 of the proposed $100,-
000 have been pledged for the Asyut College. The work is one of great im-
portance, the persons who are prosecuting the enterprise are to be congratulated
on the success attained, and the work itself is commended to the liberal hearted
constituency of the foreign work.
The paper submitted to the Assembly in regard to establishing a series of
colleges in Egypt and India, and the adoption of methods for their support,
contains suggestions of very great importance respecting the future educational
work in our foreign mission fields, and calls the attention of the Church to this
special line of effort.
We mention with gratitude the fact that more than $30,000 passed through
the hands of the treasurer of the Board for the relief of the famine sufferers
in India. It is also worthy of note that the aggregate amount received from
legacies and gifts exceeds $54,000, more than three times the average sum
secured from the same sources during six preceding years. This liberality of
a few cannot however take the place of the regular contributions of the
Church, and ought not to be made an excuse for withholding from the treas-
ury of the Lord.
During the year Revs. R. E. Carson and K. W. McFarland tendered their
resignations. The Board is still in hope that the former may be able to re-
turn, so the resignation has not been accepted. In the case of Mr. McFarland,
health and other conditions satisfactory to himself lead him to insist on the ac-
ceptance of his resignation.
Rev. Robert Stewart, D.D., Rev. W. J. Brandon, and Miss Helen J. Fer-
rier, appointed by the last Assembly, have entered upon the work to which
they were assigned by the Board.
The vacancy, occasioned by the inability of Rev. O. A. Keach to accept the
call of the General Assembly, was filled by the Board by the appointment of
I go I i ] Minutes of General Assembly . 26 b
Rev. W. R. Coventry. The vacanc)' made by the death of Rev. R. R. McCliire
was supplied by the appointment of Rev. Robert Maxwell. Mrs. Alice Mc-
Clure. after the death of her husband, was appointed by the Board as a mis-
sionarj', her support being provided by the Women's Board.
The Board at the request of the mission appointed Dr. H. T. McLaughliit
as the first medical missionary to the Sudan.
The Assembly is asked to confirm the appointment of Mr. J. H. Morton
and Prof. W. E. Nichol, to the mission in India ; of Miss Margaret A. Bell
to the mission in Egypt, and to give authority to the Board to appoint and send
out one or more young women to India, if suitable persons can be found.
It is with pleasure that we recognize the generous benefactions and help-
fulness of individuals, societies, and periodicals in ^he prosecution in the
work of the Board.
We recommend the following for adoption :
1. We express gratitude to God for all the blessings bestowed upon the
missionaries, and for the success which has attended the work of the year.
2. That the report of the Board and its work during the year be approved.
' 3. We would bow with Christian submission to the providence of God ini
removing by death Rev. R. R. McClure and Mrs. Elizabeth J. Sowash from the
active missionary forces ; Mary Cummings and Agnes Reed, children of mis-
sionaries ; at the same time assuring the sorrowing friends of our tenderest
sympathy, and praying for the comforting presence and sustaining grace of
God in all their bereavements.
4. The Assembly ratifies the action of the Board in the appointment of
Revs. W. J. Brandon, W. R. Coventry and Robert Maxwell ; Mrs. Alice Mc-
Clure and Miss Helen J. Ferrier; also the appointment of Dr. H. T. Mc-
Laughlin as medical missionary to the Sudan.
5. The Assembly confirms the appointment of Mr. J. H. Morton and
Prof. W. E. Nichol to the mission in India, of Miss Margaret A. Bell to the
mission in Egypt, and authorizes the Board to send out one or more young
women to India, if suitable persons can be found, and two male missionaries
and two young women to the mission in Egypt in case the finances will permit.
6. That the Assembly establish a distinct work to be known as the Sudair
Mission, work to begin at a station named Dolaib Hill, that $5,075 be appro-
priated from the Sudan fund to meet the expense of the new mission for the'
current year, and that the work be prosecuted in accordance with recommen-
dations submitted by the missionaries who have explored the field.
7. That the rules of the Board, governing the return of missionaries to*
the foreign field after the first term of service, be approved.
8. That the missions be required in the beginning of each j-ear not to^
exceed the appropriations of the preceding year, until they shall be notified of
the amount appropriated for the new year by the General Assembly ; that the
Missionary Associations shall not overdraw the appropriations made, and that
the year shall begin with the first of July and end with the 30th of June.
9. The Assembly directs the Board of Foreign Missions to take the neces-
sary steps to secure charters for .^syut Training College in Egypt, and Gor-
don Mission College in India, giving authority to these institutions to confer
academic degrees.
10. The Assembh' authorizes the Board to commission as missionaries
college instructors, nurses and assistants in medical and hospital work, and
others who are under contract for a term of years, but without the right to
membership in the Missionary Associations.
11. That all matters placed before the Assembly by communications re-
lating to the establishment of colleges in our foreign mission fields, and to
methods of securing interest and support in the educational work of these
fields, be committed to the Board for consideration and approval, and that the
Board be requested to give publicity to its conclusions.

These recommendations of the Secretaries of the Boards of

RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE SECRETARIES OF THE BOARDS.
Realizing the need of more money for the support of the work in the care
of the Boards which we respectively represent, and desiring to see it greatly
enlarged and extended, also believing that larger offerings for it can be secured
if the right steps are taken to bring this work and its needs before the people
of our Church, we beg leave to<nake to this General Assembly the following
recommendations :
1. That this General Assembly recommends that each presbytery at its
next meeting hold a conference on the work in the care of the diiferent Boards
of the Church, and adopt some plan for quickening the interest of congregations
in it and enlarging their contributions to it.
2. That pastors and sessions arrange a service in the interest of this work
once a quarter during the coming year, for the special purpose of securing for
it larger offerings.
3. That pastors and sessions make special effort to secure from each mem-
ber of their congregations a contribution to this work, and make a proportion-
ate distribution of the funds thus secured according to the appropriations made
iby the General Assembly.
4. That the Boards be instructed to prepare, acting jointly, a program
to be suggested for the services to be held by congregations.
5. That the Committee on Ways and Means be urged to begin its work at
once, and earnestly continue it throughout the year.

REPORT ON ARTICLE XV. OF THE TESTIMONY.
In view of the existing diversity in the interpretation of Article XV. of the
Testimony and in the application of it by sessions in the admission of mem-
bers of secret orders, and in view of the great multiplication of these orders
and of their diversity in purpose and character, the General Assembly adopts
the following as expressive of the mind of the Church on this subject:
Article XV. of the Testimony continues to express the general sentiment
of the Church and is hereby affirmed. Members of the Church of Christ ought
not to have fellowship in associations which bind their members by oaths or
affirmations to obey unknown obligations, and to immoral secrecy, or which
establish a fraternal fellowship among men subversive of the unity of the body
of Christ. It is especially obligatory upon Christians to stand aloof from the
societies which, by their moral teachings and religious ritual, foster a belief in
the salvability of men apart from the mediation of Christ. We condemn such
organizations as most dishonoring to our Lord and injurious to men, and
persons who, with knowledge of the truth concerning them, wilfully adhere to
such associations, shall not be received into Church membership. AH such so-
cieties are included in the phrase of the Testimony, "Inconsistent with the
genius and spirit of Christianity." The entire contents and bearings of the
Article should be emphasized in the pulpit teaching, and the Testimony faith-
fully maintained by all.
This Article is not to be construed so as to exclude from the Church the
membership of such societies as are not bound by oath or affirmation, do not
pledge to secrecy in things unknown, or inculcate a Christless religion.
In the administration of this Article, as of others of the Testimony, ses-
sions possess the right to exercise a wise discretion in dealing with such cases
as may arise on their merits, and in such a way as niay best promote the glory
of God and the edification of the Church. It is supposed that sessions are com-
posed of men of understanding, that they are acquainted with the principles
which they have embraced, and that they are faithful to the trust committed
to them as officers of the Church. They may safely be trusted in the exercise
of this power as courts of the Church, being, of course, responsible for the
manner in which they exercise this discretion.
The second order of the day for this afternoon was made the
consideration of the report on the Board of Church Extension.
The report of the Committee on the Board of Ministerial
Kelief was read. This report was adopted, and it is as follows :
REPORT ON MINISTERIAL RELIEF.
Your committee, having considered carefully the report of the Board of
Ministerial Relief, find much to commend it to the sympathy and consideration
of the Church. The report and the statements of the representative of the
Board here. Rev. Frank Getty, indicate the efficiency and economy with which
the funds contributed by the Church towards this object are being distributed.
It is very gratifying to note that the Board has suggested enlarged plans
for increasing the amount of relief hitherto granted to those seeking aid, and
consequently recommend certain changes in the administration of this fund.
The Board, feeling that the maximum amount to which, by the rules under
which it acted in the past, limited the amount of relief given in any one case to
a sum entirely inadequate, believe that the time has come to justify a change
in the rules which hitherto governed the power to give relief.
We note with pleasure the conformity of the Board this year, for the first
time, to the regulations of the Assembly in having an expert accountant audit
its accounts.

$200 to $250.
2. That any honorably retired minister, who has reached the age of 70
years, and who has been engaged in the service of the United Presbyterian
Church as a missionary of the Foreign, Home or Freedmen's Board, or as a
pastor or stated supply, for a period aggregating not less than 30 years, shall
be entitled by such service to draw from the Board of Ministerial Relief, an
annual sum for his support, without annual recommendation from his presby-
tery ; that after due examination by the presbytery, it shall be the duty of the
stated clerk of the presbytery to forward the application to the Board with his
endorsement ; and that Uien it shall be the duty of the Board to pay such appli-
cant an annuity not exceeding $250 during the remainder of his life, unless
because of some change in his circumstances, the presbytery or the applicant
himself shall otherwise direct, this sum being a substitute for the annuity al-
lowed to ordinary beneficiaries.
3. That a standing committee of one or more, to be known as the Min-
isterial Relief Committee, shall be appointed by each presbytery whose duty
shall be to examine every application for aid, and report to the presbytery the
result of such investigation.
4. That pastors and sessions be urged to put forth earnest efforts to in-
crease the interest of the congregations of our Church in the work of this
Board.
The report of the Committee on the Board of Church Exten-
sion, as read and adopted, is as follows :
REPORT ON CHURCH EXTENSION.
From the report of the Board of Church Extension and other data placed
in our hands, we glean the following facts :
The Board has sustained a serious loss in the death of two of its leading
members.
The blessing of God has manifestly attended the eflForts of the Church in
this branch of her work. Twenty-one congregations have been assisted by
donations aggregating $36,975, and one has received a loan of $5,000.
As to funds, demand is in excess of supply. Pressing appeals are coming
from every quarter for help, which can be only partially supplied. This dif-
ficulty arises from various causes. In cities and towns that are rapidly in-
creasing in wealth, there is a demand for more expensive churches than would
have been thought sufiicient some years ago. That only 54.3 per cent, of the
amount appropriated by last Assembly has been paid may be, at least in part,
the result of numerous appeals on behalf of special objects. The demand for
aggressive effort is constantly increasing. Especially in manufacturing dis-
tricts, large populations are being brought together, who are practically with-
out church privileges.
We are convinced that the funds at the command of the Board have been
economically and wisely expended. The business methods of the Board can-
not be too highly commended. Funds are invested in such manner as to
bring in the largest returns consistent with utmost security, and all accounts are
audited by an expert accountant, who certifies the result to the Board.
The committee offers the following resolutions for adoption by the .As-
sembly :
1. That the .'\ssembly very decidedly approves the work of the Board for
the past year.
2. That, in reference to the death of Messrs. Thomas McCance and
William J. Sawyer, the General Assembly places on record its high appreci-
ation of these two willing "witness bearers to the truth"; in their lives, beloved
190 1.] Minutes of General Assembly. 267
for their self-sacrifices on behalf of the cause of Christ in the world ; in their
death, revered in memory as men of God, "Whose memorial is on high." May
our prayer be that ot the Psalmist, "Help, Lord, for the Godly man ceaseth ;
for the faithful fail from among the children of men."
3. That the Assembly gratefully acknowledges the goodness of God in the
pro.sperity that has attended the work during the year.
4. The Assembly commends the work to the earnest consideration of the
Church, and recommends that pastors and sessions urge upon their congrega-
tions the importance of greater liberality in its support.
As a result of the prosperity of our work in Boston, the church finds itself
in pressing need of enlarged quarters. The title to the property is held by the
Trustees of the General Assembly. That the congregation may be enabled to
meet the urgent demand for more room and provide for its rapid growth, your
committee would recommend :
1. That the Trustees of the Assembly be authorized and directed to con-
vey the title to the property to the congregation at such time and under such
conditions as the Board of Church Extension may approve.
2. That the Board be authorized to appropriate as a donation a sum not
exceeding $5,000, and to permit a first mortgage for such sum as in their judg-
ment may be necessary and prudent.
A partial report of the Committee on Finance was read,
amended and adopted. It is as follows :
PARTIAL REPORT ON FINANCE.
I. Your Committee respectfully report that we have examined the state-
ments of the treasurers of the Boards of Foreign Missions, Home Missions,
Freedmen's Missions. Church Extension, Education, Publication, Ministerial
Relief, Gibson Trust Fund, and of the General Assembly, and find that these
have been properly audited and certified as correct, and we recommend their
approval. We have examined the report of the executors and trustees of the
Reed estate, and recommend its approval.
II. In view of the added burden placed upon the treasurer of the General
Assembly, by the establishment of the general delegate fund, your committee
•would call attention to the faithful and laborious service, which he gratuitously
and cheerfully renders to the Church, and recommend that the thanks of the
General Assembly be tendered to him, and to the treasurers of all the Boards
and funds of the Church for their services.
III. We ask that warrants be drawn on the Assembly fund for the pay-
ment of the following bills :

IV. On the memorial from the Synod of Iowa, asking that the action of
the last General Assembly increasing the salary of the Secretary of the Board
of Church Extension, $300, be repealed, your committee, while fully sympa-
thizing with all efforts in the direction of wisely economizing the mission
funds of the Church, yet in view of the ever increasing efficiency of our
worthy Secretary, who for so many years has judiciously and most successfully
administered the affairs of our Board of Church Extension, devoting his best
energies and practically his whole time to that work, recommend that the
prayer of the memorialists be not granted.
V. On the memorial from the Presbytery of Omaha, asking that the
treasurers of the Home Mission, Church Extension and Women's Boards be
directed to furnish annual statements to the clerks of presbyteries in order
to facilitate the auditing of the accounts of Superintendents of Missions, we
beg leave to say that in the opinion of your committee the statements accom-
panying remittances from the treasurers of these Boards is a sufficient voucher.
We recommend that the prayer of the memorialists be not granted. .
VI. On the request of the treasurer of the Quarter Centennial Commis-
sion, asking for direction in the disposal of a small sum of money in his hands,
we recommend that il be made a nucleus for the proposed dormitory at Cam-
den.
VII. The report of the Committee on Ways and Means has been placed
in our hands. We call attention to the model constitution prepared by the
committee for the use of congregations, and to the sample pages of a church
treasurer's record. We commend the efforts put forth by the committee to
keep the duty of proportionate and systematic giving before the Church. We
sympathize most fully with them in their expressions of appreciation of the
character and work of Mr. W. J. Sawyer, and of the loss sustained by the
whole Church in his death. We recommend :
1. That By-Law No. 3 of the Model Constitution, submitted by the
Committee on Ways and Means, be amended by the substitution of the words
"are expected to contribute to," for the words, "pledge themselves to a sys-
tematic contribution for."'
2. That this Constitution, as thus amended, be adopted as a Model Con-
stitution for the government of congregations.
3. That the Board of Publication be directed to publish this Constitu-
tion in pamphlet form and advertise the same.
4. That the Board of Publication be directed to prepare a Church treas-
urer's record book after the model recommended by the Committee on Ways
and Means, and advertize the same.
VIII. On the question of annuities referred to your committee we recom-
mend the adoption of the following: Resolved. That it is the judgment of
this General Assembly that, in all ordinary cases, the action of the Assembly
of 1897, narnely, "the General Assembly hereby authorizes all the Boards to re-
ceive donations subject to such annuities and payable in such manner as may
be agreed upon, such contributions to be securely invested and the annuity
never to exceed the annual interest received." (Vol. IX., p. 288) should be
adhered to, yet in exceptional cases discretion be granted to the several
Boards.
IX. In the judgment of your committee $5,000 is the amount estimated
for the Delegate Fund for the coming year.
X. Your Committee on Finance, to whom was referred the memorial
from the officers of the General Assembly on the delegate fund, recommend
the adoption of the following rules as permanent regulations for the manage-
ment of this fund :
REGULATIONS FOR THE DELEGATE FUND.
I. The General Assembly, through its Committee on Finance, shall make
an assessment upon all the presbyteries in America for a general delegate fund,
the same to be included in the appropriation for the General Assembly Fund.
1 90 1.] Minutes of General Assembly . 269
The assessment shall be according to the membership in the several presbyteries
as reported to the Assembly making the assessment, and shall in no case exceed
ten cents per member.
2. The financial agent of each presbytery shall receive the amount col-
lected, and forward the same to the treasurer of the General Assembly not
later than April 20 of each year. He shall also report to the General Assem-
bly at its first session the distance by the most direct route from a central point
in the presbytery to the place of meeting of the General Assembly.
3. The treasurer of the General Assembly shall report to the Assembly
at its first session the apportionment to each presbytery for the General As-
sembly Fund, the amount received from each presbytery, and the percentage
of the latter to the former. This report shall be referred to the Committee
on Finance.
4. The Committee on Finance shall compute the expenses of each dele-
gate entitled to receive allowance from this fund at the rate of i^ cents per
mile for ministers and 2 cents per mile for ruling elders, and prorate the same
to each delegate on the basis of the percentage paid by his presbytery as re-
ported by the treasurer of the General Assembly, and report by presbyteries
to the General Assembly. In exceptional cases, where concessions cannot be
obtained from the railroad companies, the committee is authorized to allow a
higher rate.
5. All the commissioners in attendeance on the sessions of the General
Assembly are entitled to the benefits of this fund. The roll of the Assembly,
as certified by the principal clerk, shall be accepted as evidence of the attend-
ance required. The expenses to be provided for shall be limited to railroad
fare, and that by the shortest route to and from the place of meeting of the As-
sembly, the delegates availing themselves of any commutation, or special rates
that may be oflfered. Commissioners from presbyteries in foreign lands shall
be allowed mileage from their place of residence in this country.
6. The principal clerk, not later than the close of the morning session of
the last day of the General Assembly, shall certify to the Committee on Finance
the attendance of the commissioners on the sessions of the Assembly.
7. When the report of the Committee on Finance shall have been adopted,
the principal clerk shall draw a warrant on the Treasurer of the General As-
sembly for the aggregate amount, and certify to the Treasurer the amount due
to each presbytery, together with the sum to be paid to each delegate.
8. The Treasurer of the General Assembly shall remit to the Financial
Agent of each presbytery the amount due to the delegates of that presbytery,
who shall, without delay, remit to each delegate the amount due to him.
9. The Committee on Finance shall submit to the General Assembly an
estimate of the amount required for the delegate fund for the following year.
We also recommend the adoption of the following : Resolved, That, while
we concede the right of a presbytery to provide for the expenses of its own
delegates, yet in view of the fact that the establishment of a General Delegate
Fund is the act of the highest court of our Church, whose authority we rec-
ognize, and that the principle on which it is based is Scriptural as well as fra-
ternal, viz.. that the strong should bear the infirmities of the weak and not
please themselves, and that the success of the -plan depends on the co-opera-
tion of all our presbyteries and congregations ; we urge all the presbyteries
to contril)ute their full quota to the General Assembly Fund.
After prayer by Rev. James Dodds the Assembly adjourned.
7:45 o'clock, P. M.
The Assembly met and was opened with devotional exercises,
and prayer by Elder George Gordon.
27© Minutes of General Assembly. [vol. x, no. 2,
The calling of the roll was dispensed with. The minutes of
the last session were read and approved.
The report of the Committee on Devotional Exercises was
read and adopted. It is as follows :
REPORT ON DEVOTIONAL EXERCISES.
Your committee would recommend the adoption of the following resolu-
tions :
1. That the Assembly engage in appropriate devotional exercises at each
session, especially before the consideration of the more important questions,
and that the time thus spent be wholly at the discretion of the Moderator.
2. That Rev. J. K. McClurkin, D.D.. be the alternate of the Moderator
to preach the opening sermon of the Forty-fourth General Assembly.
3. That the following pastors of Allegheny, Pa., constitute a Committee
on Conferences for the next Assembly : Revs. W. 1. Wishart, J. W. Wither-
spoon, D.D., Geo. W. McDonald.
The report of the Committee on Bills and Overtures on a
Reform Field Agent was read and adopted. It is as follows :
REPORT ON A REFORM FIELD AGENT.
The Committee on Bills and Overtures on the memorial from the Presby-
tery of Conemaugh, asking the General Assembly to appoint a minister to pre-
sent the cause of moral and national reform from our pulpits, recommend the
adoption of the following:
1. That the General Assembly recognizes the great importance of the
movement for National Reform and the need of thorough discussion of the sub-
jects involved by competent men.
2. Inasmuch, however, as there exists already an organization, inter-de-
nominational in character and organized for this especial work, and with which
we have affiliated for many years, and under whose auspices a number of our
ministers have been employed, it does not seem advisable to make the appoint-
ment requested by the Presbytery of Conemaugh.
3. We urge our pastors to give special attention to thib matter, and see to
it that their people are thoroughly informed on the important subjects con-
nected with moral reform.
The report of the Committee on Bills and Overtures on the
Distribution of Important Papers was read and adopted. It is
as follows :
REPORT ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF IMPORTANT PAPERS.
There has been referred to us a memorial from the Presbytery of Al-
legheny, asking that the Clerks of the General Assembly be directed to pre-
pare and distribute annually to presbyteries and sessions official circulars set-
ting forth a schedule of all matters of reference from the General Assembly
requiring presbyterial action, and such as are important for the information of
sessions. Since it seems to be important that the Assembly should be in direct
communication with tlie inferior courts that are expected to know and carry
out its official actions, and since full and accurate information is always help-
ful in developing interest and in guiding to intelligent and loyal support of our
Church, we therefore recommend for adoption the following:
igoi.] Minutes of General Assembly. — Appendix. 271
1. That the Clerks of the General Assembly be directed to prepare annu-
ally and distribute to all the presbyteries an official schedule of all matters of
reference from the General Assembly requiring presbyterial notice and action,
including overtures, appointments of days for special observance, quotas, and
whatever else should be brought to the attention of presbyteries.
2. That similar schedules, with such modifications as may be found nec-
essary, be annually prepared and distributed to all the sessions thr-oughout the
Church for purposes of information.
The report of the Committee on the Board of Publication
was read. As amended and adopted, it is as follows :
REPORT ON PUBLICATION.
Your Committee on the Board of Publication would respectfully report
that we have examined the matters referred to us, and offer for your adoption
the following resolutions :
1. We commend the Board to the confidence and patronage of the Church
and the public in general.
2. We heartily approve the action of the Board in making grants to mis-
sion churches and Sabbath schools in need, and urge it in the future to do all
in its power in this line of work.
3. We are pleased to learn that the Board has prepared a new and en-
larged edition of Bible Songs.
4. We urge the Board to collect, as soon as practicable, the various
amounts due it. and would advise Sabbath schools and individuals, having ac-
counts with the Board, to settle them as promptly as they can.
The report of the Committee on Sabbath Schools was read
and adopted. It is as follows :
REPORT ON SABBATH SCHOOLS.
Two papers were placed in our hands: The statistical table prepared by
the chairman of the Permanent Committee on Sabbath schools, and that part
of the report of the Board of Publication which refers to Sabbath school work.
These papers have been well prepared and are full of interesting information.
They show that our Sabbath school work is in excellent condition and is mak-
ing steady advancement. The number of schools reporting is the same as last
year, 932. No reports were received from 39 schools. The total enrollment is
121.755, an increase of 3,192. The average attendance has been 74,912, an
increase of 788. The contributions were $121,041, or $11,431 more than ever
before. Of this amount $39,115 have been contributed to the Boards of the
Church. One of the most gratifying features is the fact that, of 6.158 additions
to the Church during the year upon profession of faith, 3.192 were from the
Sabbath schools, another proof of its vital importance to the life of the Church.
This was a gain of 514 conversions over the preceding year.
The Home Department shows a growing interest. There were 28 Presby-
terial conventions during the year, all of w-hich were helpful to the work. Eight
hundred and twenty-seven congregations have pastors or stated supplies, and
740 of these are in the Sabbath school. Of the 3,776 elders reported, 2.995 at-
tend the schools. This indicates a deep interest on the part of j^astors and elders
which is to be commended. May others emulate their worthy example! The
desire for music better adapted to children's voices will be partly realized when
the next edition of Bible Songs is published. Your connnittee would submit
the following resolutions :
272 Minutes of General /Jssembly. [vol. x, no. 2,
1. We recommend the adoption of the usual order for missionary contri-
butions, viz.: 1st quarter. Foreign Missions; 2d quarter. Home Missions; 3d
quarter, Church Extension; 4th quarter, Freedmen's Missions; and that these
objects be kept before the schools that the missionary' spirit may be developed.
2. We recommend that the 2d Sabbath in June be observed as, "Chil-
dren's Day," the fourth Sabbath of November as Temperance Day ; and that
the third Sabbath of October be appointed as a day of special prayer in all our
congregations for Sabbath schools.
3. The Home Department is proving to be a helpful auxiliary and should
be encouraged.
4. We commend the holding of presbyterial and synodical Sabbath school
conventions; and we recommend co-operation with association work in county
and state.
5. We urge pastors and presbyterial superintendents to canvass carefully
their fields with a view of establishing mission schools..
6. That we may become more efficient in our Sabbath school work, we
would urge pastors and superintendents to hold teachers' meetings where prac-
tical, to have normal classes, and to study the best methods of work among
children. We believe that much good can be derived from introducing kinder-
garten methods in the primary department, and by acquainting our teachers
with established pedagogic principles.
After prayer by Kev. W. M. Butler the Assembly adjourned.
WEDNESDAY.
May 29, 1901, 9 o'clock, A. M.
The Assembly met and was opened with prayer by Rev. R.
B. A. McBride.
The calling of the roll was dispensed with. The minutes of
the last session were read and approved.
A request from the Board of Publication for an appropriation
was read and referred to the Committee on Appropriations.
The report of the Committee on Statistics was read. As
amended and adopted, it is as follows :
REPORT ON STATISTICS.
Your committee would report that there has been submitted to us a me-
morial from the Synod of Iowa, praying. "Inasmuch as it is desirable and just
that a full and clear acknowledgment of all the contributions of the people of
the Church be made to them ; and inasmuch as, of the four hundred salaries
paid in whole or in part from the general funds of the Church, not one is di-
rectly reported in the current issue of the minutes of the General Assembly.
We therefore petition your honorable body to see that these general funds be
reported in the minutes of the General Assembly every year in a complete and
clear way, giving definitely the salary of each officer of the Assembly and of the
ipoi.] Minutes of General Assembly. 273
Boards, naming each person and classifying in the same way the salaries of
missionaries, professors, and teachers, receiving pay from the general fund in
our Church."
Your committee is of the opinion that not all of the items here petitioned
for are in the province of the General Assembly to grant ; and that other items
are already published as requested ; for example, the salaries of the officers
of many of the Boards, and the expenditures of the Board of Home Missions.
1. However, as the fullest knowledge is needful, we recommend that all
the Boards publish separate items of the salaries of their secretary and treas-
urer, in the summary appended to the minutes.
2. We further recommend that the statistical tables as reported by the
Second Clerk be heartily approved by this General Assembly.
3. We further recommend that all pastors be urged to pay special atten-
tion to distributing among their people the statistical literature furnished by
the several Boards for gratuitous distribution.
The report of the Special Committee on Young People's
Work was read. It was adopted and is as follows :
REPORT ON YOUNG PEOPLE'S WORK.
Three papers have been placed in our hands: i. A memorial from the
young people's presbyterial association of Cedar Rapids Presbytery, asking
that "the constitution of the Young People's Christian Union be so amended
as to provide for a general convention once in three years." 2. A communi-
cation from Rev. W. H. McMillan, D.D.. the representative of the United
Presbyterian Church on the Board of Trustees of the United Society of
Christian Endeavor, stating that the term of office for which he was nomi-
nated had expired, and that the United Society desired that this Assembly
should again nominate a person to represent them in that body. 3. The annual
report of the General Committee on Young People's Work.
I. As to the first ; we recommend that the memorialists take the course
provided in the constitution of the Young People's Christian Union, and come
through the Convention and General Committee on Young People's Work.
n. As to the second ; we recommend that the Assembly continue its in-
terest in the Christian Endeavor Society by nominating some one to represent
the United Presbyterian Church on the Board of Trustees of the Christian En-
deavor Society.
HI. As the report of the General Committee on Young People's Work
will be printed in the minutes of the Assembly, we give attention only to such
recommendations as require special action. W'e recommend:
1. That Mr. E. B. McKown. acting chairman of the General Committee,
be permitted to fill regularly his own term of office as chairman of the General
Committee the coming year.
2. That all our young people's societies desiring to print and use the
Christian Endeavor prayer meeting topics be directed to correspond with the
United Society of Christian Endeavor and obtain their consent to use the
same.
W. H. McMillan, D.D. , was nominated as Trustee of the
United Society of Christian Endeavor for a term of three years.
The report of the Committee on Bills and Overtures on the
Membership Covenant was read, amended and adopted. It is as
follows :
274 Minutes of General Assembly. [vol. x, no. 2,
REPORT ON THE MEMBERSHIP COVENANT.
In addition to that part of the report of the Committee on Article XV. of
the Testimony concerning the "formula"' of questions for the admission of
members, which was referred to your comiuittee, there were also put into our
hands memorials from the Presbyteries of Lake, Spokane and Puget Sound
on the some subject. It is evident from the various representations that there
is a demand for some change in the formula of questions to be administered in
receiving members into Church fellowship. After a careful examination of
the various papers before us, however, we are of the opinion that none of
them covers the entire ground which is desirable to embrace in such a cove-
nant. There are matters of supreme importance, as the doctrine of the trinity,
the divinity and atoning work of Christ, the Holy Spirit and his work, not
mentioned in any of these formulas, but which should have specific assent on
the part of all who are received into the membership of the Church. We there-
fore recommend the following for adoption :
1. There is a demand for an amended and revised formula for the re-
ception of members into the Church.
2. That a committee of five be appointed to prepare such a membership
covenant and submit it to the next General Assembly for its consideration, and
for overture to the pi-esbyteries if it shall prove satisfactory.
3. That this committee be instructed to publish their report in the
Church papers not later than January i, 1902.
The nomination of the Committee provided for in the second
resolution of the above report was referred to the Committee on
Nominations.
The report of the Committee on Correspondence was read
and adopted. It is as follows :
REPORT ON CORRESPOiVDENCE.
1. Your Committee on Correspondence would respectfully report that
two memorials have been put into our hands ; one from College Springs Pres-
bytery, asking the Assembly to take some formal action with reference to the
international conference of Psalm-singing churches, known as the
"Twentieth Century Psalmody Convention," to be held in Belfast, Ireland,
during the summer of igo2 ; and one from Allegheny Presbytery on the same
subject, recommending a delegation of ten mmislers and ten elders and lay-
men. We recommend that, as a denomination specially interested in maintain-
ing a Scripture psalmody, the Assembly designate such number, as may be
•deemed wise, to represent the Church and who can go without expense to the
Church.
2. We recommend that the report of Rev. James A. Reed, delegate to
the Synod of the Christian Reformed Church in America, announcing his
cordial reception and their appointment of two delegates to this Assembly,
expressive of their kindly feeling and interest in our United Presbyterian
Church, be received.
3. We recommend that the letter of Rev. D. G. Phillips, of Bradley S. C,
the delegate appointed by the Associate Reformed Synod of the South, express-
ing regret at his inability to be present at this meeting of our Assembly, and
assuring us of their "warm Christian sympathy and interest in all the doings
and prosperity of our United Presbyterian Churcli" lie received and duly ac-
knowledged and reciprocated.
It gives us pleasure to state that from the reports received there is evi-
dence of very cordial relations continued and progress made toward a closer

union of effort in the great work of evangelizing the world, and we recom-
mend that the Assembly continue the interchange of fraternal relations with
the Associate Reformed Synod of the South and with the Synod of the
Christian Reformed Church in America.
4. The report of the Committee on Union with the Associate Reformed
Synod, announces no correspondence during the year on the subject of union,
that hearty co-operation both in mission and young people's work has been
continued and that there is evidence of a growing sentiment in favor of union,
but for the present it is judged wise to take no direct steps toward its consum-
mation. We recommend the report be received, and that the committee be
continued for the coming year.
5. We would acknowledge the receipt of the certificate of the Executive
Commission of the American Section of Reformed Churches, appointing A. G.
Wallace, D.D.. to present fraternal greetings to the General Assembly of 1901.
and recommend that Dr. Wallace be heard immediately after the reading of
this report, and that we express our hope and prayer that their effort in the
good work be blest.
6. On a letter from the Reformed Church of Porsony, Hungary, narrating
their efforts, trials and needs in maintaining and advancing the Lord's cause in
that benighted land, your Committee, for want of information, can do no
more than recommend them to the kind consideration of our people and friends
of the truth everywhere.
7. Your Committee addressed a letter of invitation to Hon. E. H. Con-
ger, U. S. minister to China, to address the General Assembly during the con-
sideration of the report of the Board of Foreign Missions which he has ac-
knowledged, expressing regret that prior engagements rendered it impossible
for him to be present, assuring us, however, of his "lively sympathy with the
missionaries and of their potent influence in civilizing the Chinese, and the
very great need of them and their work in the advancing trade and commercial
development of that country."
8. In reply to the fraternal greetings of the Presbyterian General Assem-
bly, the following telegram was sent: "Greeting. Let brotherly love con-
tinue."
9. The American Bible Society, through its field secretary, presents its
claims and some very interesting history of its workings and what it is ac-
complishing. We recommend the endorsement of its work and commend it
to all our churches and people as worthy of their prayerfuk consideration and
help.
10. Having heard from the field secretary of the American Tract So-
ciety for the Northwest of the missionary work accomplished and in progress,
of the pressing need of literature, especially among the people of our new
possessions and the thousands of immigrants in our great cities. Resolved,
That we commend the work of this Society to the consideration and liber-
ality of all our people in their offerings.
In accordance with resolution 5 of the above report, A. G,
Wallace, D. D., delegate from the Alliance of Kef ormed Churches-
throughout the world holding to the Presbyterian System, West-
ern Section, addressed the Assembly.

tures on the preparation of a list of forbidden marriages was read

on the overture on marriage with a deceased wife's sister, asking for a com-
mittee to be appointed "to report to the next Assembly a list of the degrees of
consanguinity and affinity within which marriage should not be contracted or
permitted," would report:
Inasmuch as the doctrine of the Confession, that "marriage ought not to
be within the degrees of consanguinity and affinity forbidden in the Word ; nor
can such incestuous marriages ever be made lawful by any law of man, or con-
sent of parties, so as those persons may live together as man and wife," was
not touched by the overture, and stands unimpaired as the general law of the
Church, and by which the courts of the Church are to be guided in determining
particular cases as they may arise, it is the judgment of this General Assem-
bly that such action as is contemplated in this request is not required.
Therefore,
Resolved, That the request be not granted.
The report of the Committee on the Board of Education was
read and adopted, the first resolution by a rising vote. It is as
follows :
REPORT ON EDUCATION.
The work of this Board, as appears in its published report, and referred
to your Committee, is divided into two departments ; one for aiding worthy
students to get an education, the other, to aid colleges and seminaries. Your
committee recommends the following action :
1. That thanks be given to almighty God for increasing interest in, and
gifts to, the work of this Board.
2. As the amounts still fall far short of the appropriation, and as this
is the most fundamental part of the Church's work, that pastors and sessions
be directed to place the claims of this Board before their congregations for a
more liberal financial support, especially the part of this fund for colleges and
seminaries.
3. That the Young People's Christian Union be asked to consider this
Board as an object of special financial support, inasmuch as education is es-
pecially for the youth.
4. That the academies of Pawnee City, Nebraska, and Waitsburg. Wash-
ington, be recommended for an appropriation of $500 each, from the College
and Seminary fund for the ensuing year.
5. That' the request of Southern Illinois Presbytery for $300 for Stutgart
College be granted for the ensuing year.
6. That the work of the Board during the past year be heartily com-
mended.
The report from the Committee on Theological Seminaries
was read, amended and adopted. It is as follows :
REPORT ON THEOLOGICAL SEMINARIES.
Through the General Assembly came into our hands reports from the
Seminarie.s of Xenia and Allegheny, and a resolution offered by Rev. W. S.
McClurc. instructing the faculties of these seminaries at the close of each
term to report the excused and unexcused absences from recitations of each
student to the presbytery to which he belongs.
igoi.] Minutes of General Assembly. 277
It appears that the work of both faculty and students has been thoroughly
done; that thirty young men have been sent out recently well prepared to
preach the everlasting gospel ; that the installation of Prof. Joseph Kyle, D.D.,
in the Chair of Systematic Theology, during the session just closed in Xenia
Seminary has given great pleasure to her Board of Managers and to all her
students ; that the lives and health of both professors and students have been
precious in God's sight, the invasion of scarlet fever in Allegheny having re-
sulted in only two cases, and these in the mildest form ; that during the past
year $20,000 have been added to Xenia's general endowment fund, and that, in
addition to the regular instruction of the professors, helpful lectures have been
delivered by invited brethren upon missions and the Sabbath school work.
Under these conditions we may well praise the God of providence and grace
for the good and great work which is being accomplished by these schools of
the prophets. In view of the intellectual and spiritual equipment which may be
obtained in these schools for the work of the gospel ministry, we offer for
adoption the following :
1. That the pastors and presbyteries be urged to insist earnestly upon
theological students to secure their education in our own seminaries.
2. That the propriety of largely increasing the endowment funds of these
seminaries be commended to the favorable consideration of the well-to-do
people in our communion.
3. That it shall be the duty of the faculties of our Theological Semin-
aries to keep a faithful record of the attendance of students upon recitations,
and at the close of each term, report the excused and unexcused absences from
recitations of each student, to the presbytery to which he belongs.
The following resolutions of thanks were offered and adopted:
RESOLUTIONS OF THANKS.
1. That we offer our thanks to God for his manifest goodness to us dur-
ing the meeting of the Assembly.
2. That we hereby express our appreciation of the manly, courteous and
judicious manner in which our efficient Moderator has conducted the business
of the Assembly.
3. That we thank the pastor of the Church in which we have held our
meeting, and the other pastors of the city, for their wise provision to meet our
needs and in every way minister to our comfort.
4. That we extend our thanks to the young ladies who have presided over
the post office and operated the type-writers, provided for the use of the mem-
bers of the Assembly, for their efficient and painstaking service.
5. That we extend our thanks to the railroads and street cars for the
courtesies shown those in attendance upon the Assembly. .
6. That we express our appreciation of the work of our special committees
and clerks for the conscientious discharge of the duties assigned to them
during the past year.
7. We appreciate the notice by the daily papers of the proceedings of the
General Assembly and the accuracy of the reports made by the reporters of the
business and discussions.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE GENERAL
ASSEMBLY.
The Trustees of the General Assembly would respectfully report:
1. The merciful preservation of our lives and our general health during
the year.
2. The diligent attendance of most of our number at our meetings, and
their interest in the business entrusted to our care.
3. The receipt in full of balance due on the Walker land in Kansas, and
the distribution of this and other funds, pro rata, to the different boards.
4. That our appeal in the Mrs. Bell will case, Wis., has been decided in
our favor. Whether the contestors will take an appeal, is not yet known. The
property in the case will probably amount to $10,000, or $12,000.
5. In the appeal by Rev. J. R. Wallace from the decree of the county court
dismissing his suit against the Trustees of the General Assembly, the Supreme
Court of Pennsylvania reversed the decree, and held that the lower court
should take cognizance of the case, and inquire into the regularity of the action
of the General Assembly, complained of by Mr. Wallace. The case was heard
again, and the trial judge's finding (a copy of which is herewith presented) has
been filed, holding that the General Assembly had failed to follow its own
rules, and that its action in 1893. sustaining the appeal of Lake Presbytery,
was irregular and void. Exceptions to the court's rulings, and findings of
fact and law, have been filed by our counsel. These have not yet been argued,,
and no decision will be made until a hearing shall be had thereon.
6. The executors of the will of Mrs. Mary Stewart, late of Peoria Co.,
111., are now ready to pay over her bequest of $3,000. and they desire the Assem-
bly to designate its agent to receive and receipt for said legacy.
7. The report of the Treasurer, J. D. Fraser, Esq., will be laid before you
duly audited.
8. The terms of office of J. D. Fraser, S. L. McHenry and H. W. McKee,
Esqs., expire with this meeting of Assembly.
Respectfully submitted, by order of the Trustees.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF FOREIGN MISSIONS.
I. Introductory.
Since the last annual report was made to the General Assembly we have
glided out of the old century into the new. The nineteenth century, with its
marvelous progress in civilization, the arts and sciences, and especially in pub-
lishing the go.spel among the nations, has gone its way and is numbered with
the ages that have preceded it. Its record, on the whole, bids us thank God and'
take courage. The twentieth century has dawned hopefully for the world and'
specially for the cause of foreign missions. The world is opening up more-
282 Minutes of General Assembly. — Appendix. [vol. x, no. 2,
and more for the gospel, and the call of the nations to the Church to come over
and help is heard more and more distinctly. The check given to the work by
the terrible scenes of the past year in China, it is believed, is only temporary.
The missionaries that have survived are returning to their fields and work.
The Church at home is more than ever resolved to give the gospel to that land.
The soil that has drunk in the precious blood of missionaries and of native
Christians, who gave up their lives rather than deny their Lord, will yield
more abundant fruit, and China will be blessed as she could not have been save
as the result of the rage of many of her misguided people. Like results will
no doubt follow the lamentable war that draws to its close in South Africa,
and our own war with the Philippinos. The outlook over the world is
hopeful.
As we enter the new century the condition of our own foreign mission
work bids us to be of good cheer. It is not yet half a century since we entered
cur present foreign mission fields. The work has made steady and almost unin-
terrupted progress. It has now advanced to a condition of success that draws
the attention and elicits the admiration of the missionary world. Thanks be
unto God for his gracious favor to our missionaries and their work, and for
his cheering voice calling us to go forward into the century which has opened.
f
II. The Year.
Life has been continued to the officers and other members of the Board,
but the messenger of death has, we grieve to say, visited our foreign fields.
While the last Assembly was yet in session, word came from India that Rev.
Robert Reed McClure was seriously ill. Earnest prayer was offered by the
whole Assembly for him if he yet survived. The day following the Assem-
bly's adjournment the sad news came that Mr. McClure had died at Zafarwal
on April 27, of typhoid fever. The stroke was a terrible one, not only to his
beloved companion, but also to the whole mission. Mr. McClure had been but
a little over two years in the field, and but a short time in the station to which
he had been assigned. He was acquiring a good working knowledge of the
language. Being an adept in music, his service in that greatly needed line was
highly prized. He was a brother beloved by all the mission, and by the native
Christians and people. Just when he was entering actively upon his great work
in India, and when he was giving promise of being one of the most useful and
successful of missionaries, his life came to an end, his work in India was done
and his Lord called him to his reward in a higher sphere. The mystery of his
being taken so early, and from a sphere in which he was so much needed, and
from effective labor for which he was so well qualified by nature, by acquisition
and by grace, is beyond our ken. We can only say, "Even so. Father, for so it
seemed good in thy sight."
Near the close of September the sorrowful word came from Alexandria,
Egypt, that Mrs. Elizabeth J. Sowash had died in the hospital at that place on
the 4th of that month. She was ill of typhoid fever only a week. Her unex-
pected death was a crushing blow not only to her husband, but to the whole
mission. By her amiable life she had endeared herself to all. Her husband,
left with three motherless children, the oldest being less than four years of age,
had the tender sympathy of all the missionaries, and of the Board and the
whole Church at home.
We record also in this connection the death of Mary Cummings, little
daughter of Rev. T. F. and Mrs. Anna A. Cummings, at Pasrur, India, on May
I, 1900. and that of little Agnes Reed, daughter of Rev. W. H. and Mrs. B. E.
Reed, in the hospital at Alexandria, Egypt, on May 15. The bodies of these
little ones were laid to rest in mission cemeteries, with faith in him who said,
"Suffer the little children to come unto me."
The Work in both mission fields has continued during the year along the
usual and well-established lines. The annual report, prepared with much care
6y the missionaries, will be published soon after the adjournment of the As-
Bembly, and will show a good measure of success in the various departments
tti missionary effort.
igoi.] Minutes of General Assembly. — Appendix. 283
The Educational Work has received a special stimulus. The mission in
Egypt requested the Board to authorize J. R. Alexander, D.D., while on his
furlough in this country, to solicit funds for the better equipment of Asyut
Training College, of which he is President. The Board granted Dr. Alexander
leave to solicit aid for this object, especially from individuals having means.
A number of brethren in Pittsburgh and vicinity took hold of the matter with
great earnestness, resolving to raise $100,000 for necessary buildings and the
equipment of the institution. It is confidently expected that the entire amount
will be subscribed and paid within three years. This is noble, and w-ill be a
blessing to Asyut College and to Egj-pt for all time to come.
The ]\Iission in India, at the annual meeting in October last, resolved to
ask the Board to add $12,000 to the estimates for the current year for the pur-
pose of erecting and equipping a suitable building for Gordon Mission College,
at Rawal Pindi. This was only beginning to be known in this country, when
]\Iiss Eleanor C. Law and Miss Ina Law Robertson, of Chicago, gladdened the
hearts of the members of the Board by the information that they had decided
to contribute the entire amount of $12,000 for the object specified. For this
munificent gift they received the most hearty thanks of the Board, and the
whole mission in India has been made to rejoice. The Board has directed the
mission to proceed with the building for the college, and as speedily as possible
it will be pushed to completion. The new building was absolutely essential to
the success of the institution. When it shall be completed it is confidently an-
ticipated that the college will take a fresh start forward, and that it will in
time become a blessing to the mission in India, like the blessing that Asyut
Training College has become to the mission in Egypt.
The Famine in India, while not affecting our mission field directly, except
in the increase of the price of the necessaries of life, yet elicited the sympathy
of our whole Church in this country. Contributions for the relief of the suf-
ferers were freely made, and more than $30,000 passed through the hands of
our Treasurer. A considerable part of the rhoney was sent by our missionaries
to fellow-missionaries in the famine-smitten districts, and was by them dis-
tributed. Some of our missionaries, accompanied by native workers, person-
ally visited famine districts and brought back with them a large number of
orphan children. Manj' of these, weakened by starvation, died by the way or
after reaching our field. Those that have survived have been provided for in
industrial schools established for the purpose. In these they are being in-
structed religiously, and will be taught at the same time some handicraft by
which, when grown, they will be able to support themselves. A number of
them have already accepted and confessed Christ as their Saviour. Those that
give evidence of ability will be further taught in the mission schools, and it is
hoped that not a few of them will, in time, become effective laborers in the
mission, some of them ministers of the gospel. The mission has made ar-
rangements for expending the balance of the fund in educating and training
these orphans.
III. The Finances.
The Assembly last year, including an excess of expenditure by the mission
in Egypt for the year 1898. appropriated for the entire work for the year $132.-
836.48. This amount did not include $24,000 pledged by the Women's Board,
Presbyterial Societies, etc., and did include $12,262 indebtedness from the year
preceding. The whole amount to meet all the demands for the year was
$156,836.48. From all sources our Treasurer has received for the regular work
for the current year $162,727.92. Were it not for indebtedness not included in
the appropriations of last year and for expenditures then underestimated, the
Board would have closed the year without debt.
It should be stated in this connection that, of the whole amount received by
our Treasurer. $54,419.04 was from legacies, or gifts which were substantially
legacies. The average amount from legacies which came into the treasury an-
284 Minutes of General Assembly. — Appendix. [vol. x, no. 2,
nually for the six preceding years was $14,600. Had the Board received only
this average amount from legacies for the past year, the sum of the receipts
would have been nearly $40,000 less than they were, and the debt of the Board
at the end of the year would have been more than $42,000, instead of $8,949.07,
as it is. It is believed that the receipts by the Treasurer were lessened consid-
erably by the knowledge of the fact that the Board had received such large
amounts in legacies, by contributions to the India Famine Fund and other
special objects. Be this as it may, it must be plain to every thoughtful mind
that the Church should not rely upon legacies to meet, to any large extent, the
appropriations for the work made by the Assembly. There is nothing certain
about legacies from year to year but their uncertainty. They are received with
gratitude when they come, and great good is done by money given in this way,
but the Church must not rely upon a source of income that is so uncertain in its
amounts from year to year. The aim should be to meet the entire appropriation
made by the Assembly by direct contributions.
The Board would add in this connection that the mission in Egypt has
again in its expenditures exceeded the appropriation made by the Assembly.
At the time of the previous overe.xpenditure, the Board represented most
strongly to the mission the imperative necessity of keeping the expenditures
within the appropriations, and the serious consequences which must follow any
other practice, and later also the President of the Board personally presented
the same subject to the missionaries in the field. Notwithstanding this the
Treasurer of the mission reports an expenditure of $4,988.36 above the amount
authorized by the Assembly for the year 1900. The expenditure was more
than the mission's own estimate for the work. As soon as this fact was
learned, the Board gave the mission word that it could not recognize this extra
expenditure, and recommended that the excess, as far as practicable, be charged
to the account of the stations that had overdrawn the amounts to which they
were legitimately entitled according to the appropriation made. The matter as
thus stated is referred to the Assembly for such direction as it may deem best
to give.
In order to prevent the recurrence of overexpenditure it should be stated
that in the month of December last a series of new rules, relating to financial
matters in our missions, was adopted and sent to the missions. These rules
are now being acted upon in the missions, and it is believed that they will
effectually prevent any expenditure in excess of the appropriations as made by
the General Assembly from year to year.

V. Estimates for the Year.
The estimates, as received from the mission in Egypt for the current year,
amount to $77,792. Those from India sum up $78,417. The Board cannot
recommend the Assembly to appropriate these amounts with any reasonable
hope that they, together with the amount required for all other absolutely
necessary expenses, will be put into the treasury by the Church. After the
most careful consideration the Assembly is asked to make the following ap-
propriations :
To India $ 65,000 00
Egypt . . . 70,000 00
For Salaries of Missionaries at Home 37oo 00
Children of Missionaries in America 1.200 00
Traveling Expenses of Missionaries 6,000 00
Outfit for New Missionaries 1,200 00
Salary of Cor. Sec. ($1,000), of Treas. ($500) 1,500 00
Clerical Assistance for Treasurer 800 00
Printing, Postage, and Incidentals 2,000 00
Emergencies 3,000 00
Interest on borrowed money i,2CO 00
Debt of past year 8,949 07
Soudan Mission 5,075 00
$169,624 07
These estimates include $24,000 pledged by the Women's Board, Presby-
terial Societies, Sabbath schools, congregations, individuals, and $5,075.00 for
the Soudan Missions, which amounts are to be deducted from the above total.
The whole amount, which the Assembly is asked to appropriate for the year
for the entire work of the Board, is thus $140,549.
VI, Missionaries.
(/) Home on Furlough.
It was reported to the last Assembly that Miss Elizabeth G. Gordon, Mrs.
Belle G. Lytle and Miss Rosa A. McCul'lough were on the way to this country
from India. They arrived safely on May 12, 1900. Miss Gordon and Mrs.
Lytle have retired from ihc mission work. Miss McCullough hopes to return
to her field in the ensuing autumn.
J. R. Alexander, D.D. and family, and Miss Leonora J. McDowell arrived
in this country on furlough from Egypt on July 23, 1900. They expect to
return in the fall of this year.
Miss Mary A. Lawrence and Miss Ella M. Gordon, having fulfilled their
first term or service, were granted leave to come home from India on furlough.
They came by the eastern route and arrived on the Pacific coast on April 24.
1 90 1 . ] Minutes of General Assembly. — Appendix. 287
Mrs. A. B. Caldwell and two of her children accompanied them. It was neces-
sary for her to come home in advance of her furlovigh in order to care for her
other children, who had been left in this country. Her husband. Rev. A. B.
Caldwell, will remain in the field until the regular time for his furlough. It
having been found necessary for Mrs. T. L. Scott to come to this country from
India on account of her children, she was granted leave to come home. She
is expected here at an early day. The husband and father will remain in his
place in the mission until his time for furlough shall expire. Miss Mary A.
Platter, M.D., has also been granted leave to come from India on furlough.
She will not leave her field until late in this year or early in 1902. William
Harvey, D.D., Mrs. Harvey and Miss Anna Y. Thompson were given leave
to come home on furlough from Egypt. Miss Thompson arrived on May 6.
Dr. and Mrs. Harvey will come about midsummer.
Miss Jessie J. Hogg, by a special arrangement, was allowed to spend five
months of this summer on furlough from her work in Egypt in Scotland, the
residence of her mother. On account of the illness of her brother in Egypt,
she may not be able to avail herself of this period of change and rest.
(^) Return After Furlough.
(a) To India.
Mrs. S. E. Johnson, M.D., sailed on August 11, and arrived in the mis-
sion on October 18. Rev. E. L. Porter and wife sailed on August 18, and,
after spending some time with Mrs. Porter's relatives in England, arrived on
November 23.
Robert Stewart, D.D., and Mrs. Stewart sailed from San Francisco on
September 15. and arrived on November 10.
Rev. W. T. Anderson and family and Miss Marion M. Embleton sailed
on September 2, and, after having spent a short time seeing the missionaries
and work in Egypt, arrived on October 23.
{b) To Egypt.
John Giflfen, D.D., leaving his family in this country, sailed on July 21, in
order to act as President pro tem. of Asyut Training College during Dr.
Alexander's absence. He arrived on August 19, and at once entered upon his
special work in the college.
Rev. Samuel G. Hart and family, V. M. Henry, M.D., and family, and
Miss Helen J. Ferrier sailed on October 6 and arrived October 28.
Miss Carrie M. Buclvinan and Mrs. Amanda R. Morrow sailed on January
22, 1901, and arrived on February 7. By a private arrangement Mrs. Morrow-
has gone to have charge of the children and home of Rev. George A. Sowash.
(j) Resignations.
Rev. Ralph E. Carson, who has been at home from Egypt for several
years on account of his health, sent his resignation as a missionary to the
Board in the month of April. As he has not yet full}' tested the matter of
health, and as his heart is still in the work in Egypt, to which he hopes at
some time to return, the Board for the present declined to accept the resigna-
tion.
Rev. K. W. AlcFariand. who last year returned on his first furlough from
Egypt, deemed it best, because of the condition of his health and for other
reasons satisfactory to himself, to offer his resignation as a missionary. The
Board deeply sympathized with Mr. McFarland and regretfully accepted his
resignation at their meeting on April 8. The relations of Mr. McFarland
with the mission and the Board have been through all the years of his ser-
vice of the most pleasant character. His experience in the mission field will
no doubt be of great advantage to him in taking up work in this country.
288 Minutes of General Assembly. — Appendix. [vol. x, no. 2,
(^) New Missionaries.
It was with regret that the Board learned that Rev. Orin A. Keach and
Miss Charlotte McArthur, M.D., because of insuperable difficulties, could not
go to the fields to which they were appointed by the last General Assembly.
Rev. W. J. Brandon accepted his appointment to India. He and Mrs. Bran-
don set out for their field on September 15, and arrived safely in the mission
on October 22.
Miss Helen J. Ferrier accepted her appointment to Egypt. She left this
country on October 6 and reached her destination on October 28.
Dr. Robert Stewart accepted the position to which he had been chosen as
theological professor by the Synod of the Punjab, and, after an absence of a
number of years in this country, again resumed his work in the India mission.
As Rev. Orin A. Keach could not go to the mission in Egypt, the Board
at their meeting on September 10 appointed Rev. W. R. Coventry to supply the
vacancy. He accepted the appointment, and he and Mrs. Coventry sailed for
their field on November 10. They arrived safely on December 5.
The death of Rev. Robert Reed McClure left a vacancy in the India mis-
sion. As the need was great the Board assumed the responsibility of appoint-
ing Rev. Robert Maxwell to fill the vacant place. The appointment was made
on August 6, and on September 15 Mr. Maxwell and wife set out for their
field. They reached the mission in the Punjab on October 22.
After the death of her husband, Mrs. Alice McClure expressed her desire
to remain in India and be employed in the capacity of a single woman mission-
ary. As she had acquired a good working use of the language and had other
excellent qualifications for efifective work, and being also recommended by the
Women's Board, she was, on November 12, appointed a missionary. Her
support, as is that of all the single women missionaries, is provided by the
Women's Board.
As Rev. J. Kelly Gififen was chosen by the Missionary Association in
Egypt the first American missionary to the Soudan, and as it was not deemed
wise or safe for him to be in that region beyond the reach of a physician,
and as H. T. McLaughlin, M.D.. had been two years in Egypt, the Board,
by request of the mission, appointed Dr. McLaughlin as the first medical mis-
sionary to the Soudan.
The Assembly is asked to ratify all of these appointments which have been
made in the interim of its meetings.
The mission in India requested that at least two ordained missionaries,
■four single women and two laymen to be employed as professors in Gordon
Mission College, be sent out this year. The Board, to meet the request as far
as possible, at their meeting on March 11, appointed Mr. J. H. Morton, who
was completing his course of study in the Allegheny Seminary, and, on April
8, Professor W. E. Nichol, of Tarkio College, to that mission.
On the recommendation of the Women's Board, Miss Margaret A. Bell
was appointed to the mission in Egypt at the meeting of the Board on May 6.
The Assembly is asked to ratify the appointment of these new missionaries.
As four single women missionaries are asked for by the mission in India, and
as the Women's Board is not at this date prepared to make any nominations
of suitable persons, the Assembly is asked to give authority to appoint and
send out one or more young women to India, if the properly qualified ones
can be found.
VII. The Missions.
(/) India.
The missionaries in India were cheered during the year by the return of
those who had been on furlough in this country, and by the arrival of the
new missionaries sent out. The munificent gift of $12,000 made by the Misses
Law and Robertson for the erection and equipment of a suitable building for
ipoi.] Minutes of General Assembly. — Appendix. 289
Gordon Mission College caused every heart to rejoice. A building for the
Theological Seminary is greatly needed. That institution has been without
a local habitation for twenty-three years. It is hoped that some generous
friend, or friends, will in the near future supply the means to meet this press-
ing need. With a well-equipped college and theological seminary, the mission
would go forward with new energy and greatly increased success.
While the famine did not directly affect any of our mission districts, yet
the increase in cost because of it of the necessaries of life caused many re-
movals of our native Christians and others to the new districts lately provided
with irrigation by the government. This has rendered a change in some of
the mission districts necessary, and the new district of Khangra Dogran has
been established. It is believed that not a few of our members who have
removed from other districts will thus be recovered and that this well-watered
and prosperous region will show specially good results in the line of mis-
sionary effort.
The work has gone on during the year in the usual lines and with an
encouraging measure of success.

{2) Egypt.
The work in this mission has gone forward as usual during the year, and
has been prospered in every department. The net gain in membership has not
been as large as in some preceding years, but it shows that there is a steady
and wholesome growth. Each year the mission expands, and new towns, vil-
lages and stations are occupied. The mission has been greatly cheered by the
news of the movement here at home to secure buildings and equipment for
Asyut Training College.
The following summary of statistics will be studied with interest:

The total receipts from the natives for all purposes, not including medical
fees, were for the ye&r $72,623, or considerably more than the entire sum ap-
propriated by the General Assembly for the whole work for the year.
Surely these statistics of our missions should cause the whole Church to
rejoice and to go forward in the work with increased energy.
VIII. The Soudan Mission.
The last General Assembly authorized the Board to begin work in the
region of Khartum as soon as in its judgment might be practicable. The
Board at their meeting in June directed the mission in Egypt to send one of
their number, as soon as the way seemed open, to inaugurate the work. There
was considerable delay in getting the consent of the government. When it
was obtained, it was upon the condition that work be confined to the Pro-
testants in the region of Khartum and the non-Moslem population of the
White Nile.
The mission, as directed by the Board, after the most careful and prayer-
ful consideration, selected Rev. J. Kelly GifTen as the first missionary to the
Soudan. He left Egypt for Khartum on November 30, and arrived at Um-
derman on December to. He was preceded by a native evangelist sent as the
representative of the Synod of the Nile, and by a colporteur supported by the
British and Foreign Bible Society. Dr. H. T. McLaughlin followed Mr. Gif-
fen on December 19. Their path was opened up in a way that indicated the
leading of the divine hand. The Governor General (Sirdar) showed them
special kindness, and they were well received by all classes of the people.
After remaining for a time at Khartum and beginning some work there, they
went on a tour of exploration up the White Nile as far as Tewfikiah and also
for some distance on the River Tobat. After the most careful consideration of
the whole field, they report to the Mission Association in Egypt and to the
Board in favor of opening mission work at a station which they designate
Dolaib Hill, about ten miles above the mouth of the Sohab River and the
same distance from Tewfikiah. As there is freedom to work among the non-
Moslem tribes in this region, and as work in it will be in exact accordance
with the conditions of the fund given to the Board by the Freedmen's Missions
Aid Society of London, it is recommended that the mission work in the Sou-
dan be begun at this station. The estimated cost of this mission for the year
is $5,075. As the fund furnished by the London Society will more than meet
the expenditure already made and the estimate for this year, it is recom-
mended that the above sum be appropriated from the Soudan fund. It is fur-
ther recommended that this shall be a distinct mission, to be known as the Sou-
dan Mission. As the fund in hand for the support of this mission will be only
about $3,600 after the end of the current year, it is earnestly hoped that those
throughout the Church who have specially urged the advance by our Church
on the Nile will make special and liberal contributions for the support of this
mission to tribes that have never heard that there is a Saviour for lost and
perishing sinners.
The report of the missionaries who have explored the field to the Asso-
ciation in Egypt and to the Board is herewith laid before the Assembly, that
it may with the fullest intelligence possible consider and act upon this for-
ward movement in our missionary operations. It should be added that the
work that has been initiated in Khartum is to be continued and provided for
by the native church in Egypt — or the Synod of the Nile.

IX. Miscellaneous.
1. The Board, being more and more convinced from year to year that
only those missionaries should remain in the fields who have in the first term
of their service acquired a fair working use of the language and otherwise
shown that they have qualifications for effective work, at their meeting in
December, 1900, adopted the following : "That the Board direct the Mission-
ary Association in India and Egypt, in acting upon the application for a first
furlough, to vote upon the application in this form: (i; Shall the applica-
tion for a furlough be approved? (2) Shall the Board be requested to re-
turn the missionary to the field after furlough? (3) The vote in each case
may be by ballot."
2. At the same meeting the following action relating to estimates was
taken: "That the missions be absolutely required in the beginning of each
year not to exceed the appropriations of the preceding year, until they shall
be oflficially notified of the appropriations made for the new year by the Gen-
eral Assembly ; and it is further directed that the appropriations for each year
shall begin with July and end with June 30 of the next year."
3. The Missionary Association in Egypt at their last annual meeting
adopted the following : "That w^e recommend that the Association ask the
Board to take steps to secure a charter for Asyut Training College, with
authority to confer academic degrees." The Board asks the Assembly to
give effect to this action of the Association.
4. The Board hereby requests the Assembly so far to modify its action
relating to annuities as to grant leave to pay interest on the same at a rate
not exceeding five per cent, in any case.
X. Special Obligations.
The Board desires to express its special obligations to individuals, etc.,
for favors during the year as follows :

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HOME MISSIONS.
The Board of Home Missions submits to the General Assembly its regular
annual report, and in connection therewith begs leave to say that it has
given diligent and prayerful attention to the work committed to its care
during the year. The regular monthly meetings have been held and effort has
been made to ascertain the needs of the home mission field and, as far as
possible, provide for them.
Thankful acknowledgment is made of God's blessing upon the work. The
Board also records its appreciation of the faithful labors of the missionaries,
and the support which these workers and the congregations in their charge
have received from the Church.

payments being the largest ever made. Twelve stations pass from the list of
dependent congregations.
During the past two years quite a number of new missions have been
started, and in the newer stations generally the work is in a more vigorous
and prosperous condition than in the majority of those in the older class.
The only limit to extending the work still farther into new fields is that
fixed by the contributions of the Church for this work. The advance has-
already been pushed beyond what the Church has provided the meaiis to
sustain, and still there are scores of needy and promising fields that have not
been entered by our Church. The Board respectfully and earnestly asks the
General Assembly to take note of these conditions. It would also ask that
this fundamental and all-important work be given a larger place, financially,.
in the consideration of the Church.
II. Grants by the Board. Acting upon the recommendation of the
General Committee, the last General Assembly referred to the Board the appli-
cations for aid presented by several stations and, in order to meet their needs
if grants should be made to them, the sum of $4,425 was placed at the dis-
posal of the Board. In like manner, the sum of $5,000 was set apart to meet
emergencies that might arise during the year.
The Board has appropriated for cases thus referred to it, as follows .
A. R. Synod of the South, Charlotte, Second. N. C, $200; Corsicana, Texas,
$450; Louisville, Ky.. $175; Los Angeles, Los Angeles Second, $800, none
of which has been called for, Wildomar. $500; New York. Bronx. $1,000;
Omaha, Alliance. $600; San Francisco, Morgan Hill, $600. Total, $4,325.
To meet emergencies the following appropriations have been made, viz. :
Chicago, Cuyler, $300, for three months, not called for ; Cleveland, Barber-
ton, $600; Kansas City, Lawrence. $200, settlement; Keokuk, Harrison, $200-
additional on condition build parsonage before May 15, 1901 ; Lake, Erie,
Brown Avenue, $700. settlement ; Mansfield, Fredericksburg. $200, settle-
ment; Monongahela, McDonald, French mission, $600; Thirteenth, Pitts-
burg, $200, settlement ; Omaha, Dunbar. $100 additional ; Pittsburg, Spring-
field. $25 additional ; Puget Sound, Everett, Ebenezer, $300 ; Westmoreland,
East McKeesport, $200, settlement ; Wisconsin, exploring Minneapolis and
St. Paul. $42; Xcnia. Columbus. First. $105 additional, settlement. Total.
$3,772. In some of these cases the grants do not apply from the first of
the year and, therefore, the full amount will not be paid.
III. Special Missions. Thirty-two stations have been in the care of
the Board as special missions during the past year. With few exceptions
these missions have had the regular services of pastors or stated supplies. All
are now so settled, and it is expected that the ministers at present in charge
will so continue for the coming year, except in one or two cases.
Special reports have been received from all of these missions, and the
work in nearly all of them is in an encouraging condition. In the case of all'
whose terms continue beyond the current year the Board, in accordance witb.
294
Minutes of General Assembly. — Appendix.
[vol. X, NO. 2,
the regulations, has made grants and appointed missionaries for the coming
year. The amounts thus granted and other general facts in reference to
these missions appear in the tabular statement which follows. In some in-
stances the grant is less than was asked. It is the judgment of the Board that
some of the congregations could reasonably be expected to give more for
salary than was promised in the application.
At the end of this year expires the term of eleven of these stations, viz. :
Burlington, la. ; Columbus, Neil Ave. ; Davenport, la. ; Denver, Boulevard ;
Pasadena, Cal. ; St. Louis, Wagoner Place ; Spokane, Wash. All of these
except Burlington, Columbus Neil Ave. and Denver Boulevard ask to be con-
tinued for another term. Their requests, together with those of stations seek-
ing to be made special missions for the first time, will be considered and acted
upon by the General Committee.

IV. The Work of the Women^s Board. As in former years, the co-
operation of the Women's Board has been a great aid in our home mission
work.
For Indian work, which is wholly in their care, they expended, last year,
$2,928.80; for Messiah mission. Jewish, Chicago. $1,200; Italian mission,.
Pittsburg, $422.50: Polish mission. $555; Salaries of missionaries under their
direction $2,422.40; McNaugher mission. Allegheny, $100; San Jose, $500;:
Oneonta. $500; to different missions, by request of donors. $137. This Board
continues to support a number of women missionaries who labor chiefly in
large cities in connection with congregations.
Acknowledgment is especially made of the generous aid given for the specific
work in the care of our Board. After some correspondence and conference
in reference to further co-operation, they kindly agreed to appropriate the
amount required for the support of the new work in the care of our Board,
$8,400. This generous help, which was greatly needed, is most cordially ap-
preciated.
V. The Sliding Scale .\n'd the Fifteen-Year Limit Rules. Of the-
218 stations that have been receiving aid. and that are applying for grants
next year, there are only 54 that do not come under the sliding scale rule, and
of these 13, on account of age. come under the 15-year limit. Thirty-eight ask
no more than the sliding scale allows, but 15 of them come under the 15-year
296 Minutes of General Assembly. — Appendix. [vol. x, no. 2,
limit. One hundred and twenty-six ask more than is permitted by the slid-
ing scale, and of this number 68 would be excluded by the time limit. Thus,
exemption from the sliding scale for 126 stations, and from the 15-year limit
for 96, is recommended by presbyteries.
The facts just stated show that there is little disposition to conform to these
just and wholesome regulations. Some exceptions, of course, ought to be made,
but when exemption is so generally sought and is so readily granted, the pur-
pose of the rules in question is defeated. Advance in our home mission work*
will be slow, and often impossible, so long as this practice continues. If old
stations are permitted to absorb all the money that the Church is willing to
contribute for this work, new stations cannot be taken up.
VI. Supplies for Vacant Congregations and Employment for
Unsettled Ministers. As stated in the report of last year, the system sup-
posed to be in operation at present is not effective, and evidently cannot be ,
made so. After earnest effort on the part of the Board it was discovered that
only about 12 per cent, of the unemployed ministers were willing to co-operate
in the plan, and therefore it could not be carried out. According to it, save
in the case of special missions, the Board can appoint only upon the specific
request of presbytery. Not a single request for the appointment of a man
whose name appeared on the list sent to presbyteries, was received. The Board
has endeavored in every way in its power to aid presbyteries in procuring
supplies for their vacancies and unemployed ministers in securing appointments.
It is hoped that the report of the committee appointed by the last General As-
sembly will result m some satisfactory adjustment of this matter, though it
will be difficult to devise a plan that will be practicable and satisfactory to
all concerned.

Under the head of Sabbath Schools and Young People, $1,761.33 were re-
ceived from the loth anniversary fund, and the balance, $33-40, includes only
such offerings of the Sabbath schools as were sent directly to our treasurer,
the amounts sent through financial agents not being separately reported.
The amount from Ladies' Missionary Societies includes the special grant of
$8,400 by the Women's Board.
The payments to presbyteries, as heretofore stated, were $7,126.50 more
than for last year. This is accounted for by the extension of the work,
especially in cities where the demands are large and have to be met almost
entirely by grants.
igoi.] Minutes of General Assembly . — Appendix. 297
The expenditures exceeded the total receipts by $1,664.40. There was an
indebtedness at the beginning of the year of $3,903.35. Thus the year closes
with a debt of $5,567.75.
Attention is called to the fact that the receipts from presbyteries were
$3,036.52 less than for last year. The explanation of this the Board does
not undertake to give, but it so vitally affects the work that it calls for serious
consideration, especially in connection with the making of grants for the
coming year. There is, perhaps, some explanation in the large amount con-
tributed by the people of our Church to special objects during the year, but
it is the belief of the Board that if the claims of the regular work of the
Church were properly presented to the congregations they would give it
larger financial support. Without discouraging the spirit of liberality toward
all worthy objects, it is the feeling of the Board that congregations should
be encouraged to give the regular work of the Church the first and chief
place in the matter of contributions, and not permit outside calls, especially
those for objects that are not in the care of responsible organizations, to in-
terfere with their duty to this work.
The large receipts from other sources this year prevented the incurring
of a large additional indebtedness, but support from such sources cannot be
depended on ; the reliance must be upon the regular offerings of the con-
gregations, and if this work is to advance these offerings must be largely
increased.
VIII. The Coming Year. From all of our presbyteries, except those
in foreign countries, reports have been received. Fifty-seven presbyteries
present requests for aid from the home mission funds for 240 stations. The
A. R. Church of the South asks aid for five stations. Four old congrega-
tions ask aid for the first time, to the amount of $900. There are 18 applications
for appropriations for strictly new work, aggregating $12,500, for specific
requests. In three cases the applications are general and the amounts desired
are not stated. The specific requests aggregate $98,793. This sum will be
increased by the three general applications and those of two stations which
came too late to be included 1:. the statistical statement.
As heretofore stated, the Board has acted on the applications of special
missions whose terms continue beyond the present year. According to the
regulations prescribed by the General Assembly, all other cases will be pre-
sented to the General Committee of Home Missions, to meet in Albia, Iowa,
May 15, 1901.
The term of service of the present corresponding secretary, who was
elected to take the place of Rev. W. S. Owens, D.D., resigned, and of the fol-
lowing members of the Board: Rev. David Barclay, D.D., Rev. J. K. Mc-
Clurkin, D.D., and A. M. Scott, Esq., expires June 30, 1901.
The statistical table of home mission congregations, and the report of
the treasurer, which has been audited according to the requirement of the
General Assembly, are herewith presented.

REPORT OF THE GENERAL COMMITTEE OF HOME
MISSIONS.
The forty-second annual meeting of the General Committee of Home Mis-
sions was held in .-Mbia, Iowa, May 15-23, 1901. K\\ the presbyteries in
America, except Brookville, Illinois Central, Princeton and Vermont, were
298 Minutes of General Assembly. — Appendix. [vol. x, no. 2,
represented by delegates. Representatives of the Boards of Home Missions
and Church Extension were also present. Rev. C. \\. Strong, D.D., of Arkan-
sas Valley Presbytery, was elected chairman. Rev. J. D. Barr, of Mercer
Presbytery, was elected recording secretary, and Rev. S. G. Huey, of Wiscon-
sin Presbytery, was chosen assistant secretary.
Applications for aid from the home mission funds were presented by fifty-
seven presbyteries for two hundred and forty-one stations. The total amount
thus applied for was $104,413.
This is the largest number of applications ever presented in any year. _ It
is worthy of notice, also, that the requests for new work exceeded in number
and the amount asked those of any previous year. There were twenty-six
applications in this list calling for $18,150, all but three being for strictly new
work. These facts the committee regarded as evidence of a healthy condi-
tion, and the right spirit in our home mission work. The comrnittee felt that
almost without exception the requests for new work presented inviting fields,
but at the same time it was felt that the amount that could reasonably be
expected from the Church for home missions for the coming year would not
warrant the taking up of work in all the fields thus presented, and great per-
plexity was eKperienced in selecting the ones to be entered. The work of the
committee was entered upon and performed throughout with earnest prayer
for divine guidance and with a desire to make the wisest appropriation of the
Church's money. The following report gives the result of the committee's
deliberations : Appropriations are recommended as follows : For special mis-
sions in the care of the Board, $23,070 ; for other stations aided in former
years, $57,218; for new work, $9,745; to the Board to meet emergencies,
$5,000; to provide for the payment of debt, $5,567. In the new work four sta-
tions with $3,000, and in the old work seven stations with $3,700, for special
reasons, were referred either to the Board or to presbyteries.
The total amount granted, $100,550, is the least that in the judgment of
the committee could be appropriated without doing serious injury to the work.
After the stations had all been passed upon, it was found that the aggregate
appropriations exceeded the sum that the committee was willing to recom-
mend. As the most feasible way out of the embarrassment it was agreed that
each representative, if he could see his way clear to do so, would suggest
where further reductions might be made in his presbytery, the committee be-
lieving that under the circumstances all concerned would be willing to abide
by the results thus reached. In this way the appropriations were reduced to
the figure named.
The committee is firmly of the opinion that the people of our Church are
able to provide the sum recommended, and that they will do so if the claims
of the work are properly presented to them, and the right steps are taken to
raise the money.

III. General.
Your Committee on recommendations and resolutions would respectfully
report as follows:
1. We recommend that the Boards of Home Missions and Church Ex-
tension be urged to send during the year their corresponding secretaries, or
other representatives, to visit our frontier mission stations, especially those in
the Synods of California and of the Columbia.
2. That the Home Mission Board be requested, if feasible, in making up
the annual report to add another column and to give therein the average con-
tributions for all purposes per member of congregations applying for aid.
302 Mi7iutes of General Assembly. — ylppendix. [vol. x, no. 2,
3. That the Board be requested to send to the Superintendent of Mis-
sions of each presbytery, in connection with blank apphcations for aid, enough
copies of the rules in reference to the making out of applications, to enable
him to place a copj' in the hands of each missionary.
4. That all applications for new work and from special missions to be
continued as such, shall be investigated by the Home Mission Board, and shall
be by them submitted to the General Committee, together with their recom-
mendations thereon, as in other cases.
5. That we recommend the appointment by the General Assembly of a
committee, to consist of one member from each Synod in America, to take
into consideration the question of a change in the formation of the General
Committee, and of the present method of distributing the home mission funds,
to report to the next General Assembly; and, further, that the committee be
directed to publish its report in the Church papers not later than January i,
1902.
6. That the Board of Home Missions be directed to make investigation
with reference to work among the mountain whites of the South, and to make
suitable provision for carrying on work there, if in their judgment the way
for it be open.
7. That the General Committee express its appreciation of the faithful
and efficient service rendered to the Church by the members of the Home
Board, and especially by the Corresponding Secretarj% Alexander Gilchrist,
D.D., and in view of the fact that Dr. Gilchrist's term of office expires at this
time, we earnestly recommend to the General Assembly his re-election.
8. That we recommend the General Assembly to appropriate ten dollars
to be paid to the sexton of Albia church for services rendered during the ses-
sions of this General Committee.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF FREEDMEN'S
MISSIONS.
We most gratefully record the goodness of God in sparing the life of
all the members of the Board, and of all the missionaries in the field during
the last year. Two of the faithful workers were laid aside temporarily by
sickness, but their health has been restored. The work in every mission
has been carried on with much earnestness and self-denial on the part of
the workers, and the year closes with the comforting assurance that the
labor has not been in vain.
The Board. — Twelve regular and several special meetings have been
held. The members have shown a deep interest in the entire work, and
the material interests of the missions have been managed and .guarded with
the same care which successful business men give to their own business
enterprises .
Schools Closed. — All the schools will be closed by the 15th of May for
the summer, except Knoxville, whose closing wil be a month later, but
the religious work will be continued in all the missions without interruption.
THE FIELD AND THE WORK.
General. — Tennessee and Alabama Stations: — The missions in Tennes-
see and Alabama arc very closely connected. Knoxville College supplies
all the teachers for the other missions. The principal in each of the sta-
tions makes his monthly report to the president of the college, who sum-
igoi.] Miftutes of General Assembly. — Appendix. 303
marizes the reports for the Freedmen's Board. The president of the col-
lege visits the stations once or twice a year, and the workers in the mis-
sions all attend the Summer Bible School at Knoxville College in June of
each j-ear after commencement.
The year has been one of good work, of harmony and of good results
in a spiritual way. There has been but little sickness among the workers
and students. The prevalence of smallpox in many communities of the South
has seriously interfered with attendance from some points.
The statistics of the congregations in these fields very inadequately
represent the work done. Some are disappointed in noting the com-
paratively small membership as compared with the large attendance at our
schools. There is a reason for this and the work cannot be measured by
the net gain in membership. A very large number of our accessions are
students, who in the very nature of the case move away where they will
not find a United Presbyterian Church, and regret to sever connection
with it. A large number of persons are converted also whose parents
oppose their uniting with our Church. Denominational prejudice is strong.
There are few colleges any where which can show a larger per cent, of
church members than Knoxville College.
Our Alabama missions are located in the Black Belt, in Wilcox county,
about one hundred miles from the Gulf. Of the four stations in the Black
Belt only one is in a town, the rest being found in rural districts. This
is rather a novel feature of the work and one that has been most highly
endorsed by persons interested in the race problem. One great evil of
the time is that so many of the colored youth are congregating in the
cities. If they are given an education in the country, there is less proba-
bility of their leaving home for the city.
One characteristic that has marked all our missions has been the effort
of the people to help themselves. The congregations of Athens, Miller's
Ferry, Camden and Prairie each paid $50 on their pastor's salary in addi-
tion to their contributions to the boards and their own expenses. Miller's
Ferry paid three months of their pastor's salary. Some are making an
effort to build their own dormitories, and a most commendable effort has
been put forth in this direction by all the missions.
KNOXVILLE COLLEGE.
Knoxville College. — Knoxville College celebrated the Quarter Cen-
tennial of its founding last June with appropriate exercises. It has been
the fourth of a century of large achievements in the cause of the Master.
Those who have received their education here are scattered all over the
South, and wherever found are marked by a spirit of earnestness that is
most praiseworthy.
During the year, Mrs. Agnes H. Wait, who was laid aside from active
work four years ago, was called to her heavenly rest. While she has not
been identified actively with the work since that time, yet her home has
been in our midst and she has been counted one of the workers. Her last
years have been full of suffering, and she leaves behind her the blessing of
a life nobly spent.
Religious Work. — The regular Sabbath services consist of preaching
morning and evening, Sabbath school in the morning, and Senior, Junior
and Intermediate Young People's prayer meetings in the afternoon. All
services are well attended. The change of the Sabbath school from the
afternoon to the morning reduced the attendance somewhat, but resulted
in great gain to the work, as it binds together the Sabbath school and
preaching service, and much more effective work has been done. A mis-
sion school has been maintained by the Knoxville congregation in one of
the most needy portions of the city, but was compelled to close its doors
in February because of smallpox in the vicinity. This is under the man-
304 Minutes of General /Jssembly. — Appendix. [vol. x, no. 2,
agement of the students, who have shown commendable zeal and earnest-
ness in their work. Miss Jennie McCahon, as missionary, is faithful and
untiring in sowing the good seed. The College Sabbath school has an
enrollment of 275, with an average attendance of 222. Special meetings were
held for a week at a time twice during the year. Thirty-three accessions
to the Church are recorded, of which twenty-five were on profession of
faith. A large number of others have accepted Christ and connected with
other denominations.
The College. — The term college is used to apply to all the work in
connection with the institution, from the classical course down to the
primary. The need of primary instruction in many communities is so
great that did we not provide such a course many would be denied instruc-
tion in the rudiments of learning. The maintaining of the primary and
training departments not only affords opportunity for thorough instruction
from the very beginning, but also an opportunity for the advanced stu-
dents to obtain valuable experience in teaching under a skillful principal,
as many of the classes are taught by advanced students.
Theological Department. — We have enrolled four students in this de-
partment. They are all in the first year. There are many still in the col-
lege course who look forward to entering this department, and the pros-
pects for the future are good. It trains young men for the actual work,
surrounded by many of the conditions that they must meet.
Medical Department. — Discontinued. — This department has been dis-
continued. It was started with an understanding on the part of the phy-
sicians that it would never be any expense to the institution. Of course
that is quite impossible if proper equipment were to be secured. It was
also inexpedient to have the Medical Department with the college without
separate buildings. The work could not be done as it ought to be done,
and it is desired that every department that is maintained must be main-
tained lirst-class.
Industrial Departments. — Students are taught the trades of printing,
carpentry, agriculture, sewing, cooking, electrical work and in incidental
ways other industries. All girls are required to take sewing as a part of
the college corriculum. While the students are taught these industries they
receive at the same time pay for the work that they do, the pay being
based on the character of the work done. In this way over $800 has been
paid out to students, of which $600 has been received from the State Uni-
versity Fund. In addition to the above twelve students have received State
Normal Scholarships, of which the State of Tennessee furnishes 66. to be
given by the senators to colored young men and women, with the privilege
of using them in any of the recognized colored institutions. The State
Scholarship gives its recipient $50. Through the Women's Board we have
received to help students $245. Thus over $1,500 has been used to help
students. The help given students is almost entirely in the way of com-
pensation for labor. The only exception is in the case of the State Nor-
mal Scholarships and those too young to render a return for help given.
There is great oportunity to those who wish to help some worthy young
man or woman through school. The money will not be given to him out-
right, but he will be given work to do in some line that will bring returns
that will help some other student to get work, and thus a small amount
of money does great good.
Scholarships. — The faculty have provided for a free scholarship to the
member of the Fourth Normal class who shall stand highest in his class,
and whose deportment has been creditable. This scholarship provides for
free boarding and tuition for one year. If the person who wins the scholar-
ship does not desire to avail himself of its privileges, it shall be given to
the second highest.
It is desired and hoped that before the next session opens scholarships
with like provisions shall be provided for in all the schools under the con-
igoi.] Minutes of General Assembly. — Appendix. 305
trol of the United Presbyterian Church, providing for the winner a free
Knoxville College Scholarship. Four such scholarships have been provided
and used this year — in Athens Academy, Athens, Tenn., given by the
Ladies' Missionary Society of Morning Sun, Ohio, congregation; in Thyne
Institute, Chase City, Va., given by Mrs. Mary McCleary, New Wilming-
ton, Pa.; in Prairie, Ala., mission, given by Mr. J. M. Brown, of Wheeling,
W. Va.; in Norfolk Mission College, given by Rev. J. D. Lytic, Hanover,
Ind.
More Land Needed. — Inj order to properly develop our Industrial De-
partment it is absolutely necessary that we have more land.i An option
has been secured on about thirty acres adjoining our property, which lies
just outside the corporation limits, by which we may purchase the land
before September ist, for $7,500. Half of this has been pledged by a friend
of the work, provided we can raise the other half elsewhere.
Rev. J. T. Arter has been in charge of this station this year
for the first, succeeding J. L. Cook. Mr. Arter has gained the confidence
of the people and the work of the station has gone on without any jar
because of the change of workers. The enrollment for the day school is
180. The attendance at church and Sabbath school is good, reaching
almost one hundred. The spiritual growth of the congregation has been
evidenced in increased liberality and mission work.
CLEVELAND, TENN.
Work was begun at this station more than two years ago by Rev. J. A.
Cotton. The first year preaching services and Sabbath school were carried
on. and this last year a school has been opened up. The church has not
been formally organized, members having been received into it as mem-
bers of the Athens congregation. The opposition arising from denomina-
tional prejudice has been very strong, but there has been much for which to
thank God. and take courage. The people of the town have provided a
building and maintained all the running expenses of the-'school except the
salaries. The workers at this place are: Rev. J. A. Cotton, pastor and
principal; Miss Mattie Warren and Miss Delia Parks.
BRISTOL, TENN.
Mission work at this point was opened up two years ago.
Until April of this year no school was maintained. The church is
not regularly organized, but members are received into the church as a part
of the Knoxville congregation.
A new building was dedicated on April 2nd, which cost entire, including
its furniture, almost $7,000. A prominent citizen and Christian worker of
Bristol, Major A. D. Reynolds, donated a lot valued at more than $2,000
in one of the best locations in the city and gave $1,000 cash. The work has
opened up most auspiciously; the field is an exceedingly promising one both
for school and church work. Rev. Frank W. Woodfin is pastor and prin-
cipal of this mission.
RICEVILLE.
Rev. J. H. Tarter is in charge of the work at this point. He
began work last August. Previous to that time Sabbath school had been
carried on by the Athens congregation, seven miles distant. A church build-
ing was purchased for $350 and arrangements made to accommodate both
the church and day school. Mr. Tartar has been the only teacher in the
school and has had an enrollment of more than 80. While the field is not
unlimited, yet it promises to be a good one.

MILLER S FERRY, ALA.
This, the oldest station of the Alabama missions, had a good
year. The opening of a rival school in the same neighborhood
reduced the attendance somewhat, but more than 200 have attended our
school. The congregation is active and well organized. The people have
contributed liberally and the work has prospered. In this field Rev. C. H.
Johnson is pastor and principal.
PRAIRIE, ALA.
Rev. J. E. James, who graduated from the Knoxville College
Theological Department last year, has been in charge of this mission
during the past year. The work has been characterized by utmost har-
mony and good-will on the part of the community. The main feature of
this station is the farm which is owned by the Women's Board and man-
aged under the direction of N. B. Cotton, who has had charge of it during
the past year. The purpose of this enterprise is to afford opportunity for
promising persons to be properly taught farming and offered the privilege
of purchasing small farms of their own. The school at this place charges a
small tuition fee of twenty-five cents a year. The plan has worked well and
is a feature that may be introduced into the other stations, as it would do
its part toward educating the people to self help.
"The best year we have had," is the report from the pastor and
principal, Rev. E. K. Smith. The church work has been active and the
people have been revived. This mission is located in the county seat df
Wilcox county, and is for more than one reason a very purportant point.
The enrollment of the school has been 225. All the various departments
•of the church and school have been carried on actively.
CANTON BEND.
A sewing department was begun at this mission last year and
it has had a successful year. Prof. J. N. Cotton, the principal at
this station, is not a pastor or ordained minister, but a ruling elder. He
looks after all the affairs of the congregation and along with the neighbor-
ing pastors expounds the Word to the people. The school has a strong
hold on the community. The enrollment for the past year was 145.
SUMMERFIELD, ALA.
After carefully canvassing the situation the Board decided that
it was best to discontinue the work at this point. There seemed
to be little prospect of a congregation being built up in the near
future, and it was thought best to concentrate efforts at other points. Prof.
P. C. Cloud, who was in charge of the work for a number of years, has
removed to Knoxville, where he will educate his family.
In all the stations the various organizations of well-managed congre-
gations and Sabbath schools have been maintained. Young People's meet-
ings, Junior societies, Mother's meetings. Missionary societies, and so on,
have been kept up, and house to house visitation is always a very im-
portant part of the work.
CHASE CITY, VA.
A comparison of the statistics for this year with that of for-
mer years, furnishes some very gratifying evidences of progress in
the work at Thyne Institute. There has been a much larger and more
igoi.] Minutes of General Assembly. — Appendix. 307
regular attendance, both in the church and day school. The average attend-
ance at church for the school year is 223, or 41 more than that of last year
The highest average for any one month last year was 203, or 20 less than,
that of the entire present school year.
On each alternate Sabbath evening the principal lectured on Christian^
doctrine to an audience ranging from one hundred to one hundred and fifty.
The attendance at the Wednesdgiy evening prayer meeting has been from
75 to 125. Junior and Young People's meetings have been held eacb
Saturday afternoon during the school year. A three weeks' series of meet-
ings was held last winter, resulting in an accession of twelve on profession
of faith to the membership of the congregation. The Woman's Mission-
ary Society met semi-monthly during the year and did good work under
the direction of Mrs. J. M. Moore and Miss Margaret Kerr.
Girls' Industrial Home. — There were fourteen girls in the Home, and"
four young men in the Cottage most of the year. All the girls in the Home
are instructed in cooking, baking, housework, and all that enters into the
duties pertaining to housekeeping. This includes laundry work. The girls-
themselves do all the work and are graded upon it as in regular class work.
Careful attention is also given to deportment, so that students shall become
refined and lady-like. An effort is made to bring them under such train-
ing as will make them a source of refining influence in their own homes-
when they return thereto. Though there were but fourteen girls in the
Home this year, who can measure the good that will result from their
influence?
Sewing Department. — The enrollment for the year was 124. These were
given instruction in plain sewing, and dressmaking was introduced into the
schedule. This will be a permanent feature of this department hereafter..
Each is required to make her own graduating dress.
BLUESTONE, VA.
Rev. W. M. Fowlkes withdrew from this mission at the close
of the term of the public school, February ist, and will soon be
assigned to another field of work. Mr. W. G. Wilson succeeds Mr. Fowlkes-
and has entered upon his duties with energy and with good prospect of
success. The total school enrollment for the year is 113, and of the Sab-
bath school 143. All the different parts of the work are carried on through
the various organizations, as in the other missions.
NORFOLK, VA.
Thirteen persons have united with the congregation during the
year. Four of these were baptized. Two members have died, one
was dismissed on certificate, and six others were dismissed for cause.
The attendance on the preaching services was larger than that of previous-
years. The daily collections amoimted to $74.87.
Day School. — Seven hundred and six names are on the roll for the year.
The average daily attendance is 552. Good work has been done. Thirteen
young ladies and gentlemen graduate, and one young man receives a cer-
tificate.
Sabbath Schools. — There are two Sabbath schools — afternoon and
evening. In the afternoon school 668 names are enrolled. Scholars who
must use the street cars or the ferry are not required to attend on the
Sabbath, but are examined on the lessons on Mondays. $164.47 were con-
tributed by the school. The evening school is for the very poor, who are-
neglected by all others. These are gathered from the streets, many of whom
cannot read, and not a few have no idea what the words God and Jesus
Christ mean. These are able to repeat all the Golden Texts for the yean.
One hundred and ninety children are in this school.
3o8 Minutes of General Assembly. — Appendix. [vol. x, no. 2,
Prayer Meetings. — Six prayer meetings are held in the school every
Wednesday afternoon, into which the scholars are all gathered. These are
conducted by the scholars themselves under the supervision of the teachers.
The attendance at the congregational prayer meeting, on Wednesday even-
ings, has almost doubled in numbers. Good interest was manifested during
*he "Week of Prayer," the effect of which is still seen in the conduct and
^ehavior of the school.
W. M. S. — There are 32 members in the society. Meetings are held
monthly. The amount of collections for the year is $43.24.
Y. P. C. U. — Meets monthly for business and social entertainment.
Meetings for prayer and conference are held each Sabbath morning. The
work of the Union is carried on through its various committees. Amount
of contribution, $54.58.
Sewing Department. — Two hundred and ninety-eight girls and one boy
are learning to make all garments worn by women, and all articles made
with the needle. The girls are required to become so efficient as to be able
to plan, cut, fit and make their own graduating dresses. The work of the
year is an advance of last year.
Cooking Department. — Ninety-six girls are learning to do neatly,
economically, and well, all the work that pertains to the cooking in a well
ordered household. Much more interest has been manifested in this depart-
ment. The girls are required to be able to plan all the meals, to bake
bread, and to cook and prepare a meal that will pass the inspection of
competent judges before tliey are allowed to graduate.
Printing Department. — Twenty-eight girls and boys are learning to
print. Besides the Bulletin, a monthly paper of eight pages, and all neces-
sary work for the College, enough job work is done to pay all necessary
expenses.
Miscellaneous. — The principal, besides the regular work of the school
and congregation, teaches a class in the colored Y. M. C. A. building, of
the teachers and superintendents of the various Sabbath schools, besides
preaching occasionally for them and making other addresses. The teachers
make house to house visitations in the evenings and on Saturdays. Three
Sabbath schools in the country are supplied with suitable reading matter.
Thousands of copies of our church papers and Sabbath school literature
are thus distributed, and eagerly received and read. The mission has con-
tributed $337.16. Two things are greatly needed to the procuring greater
results for the labor done: — a church building and a dormitory where the
girls may be protected from the temptations of the streets. God's blessing
has evidently rested on the work of the year.
A Lot Purchased. — The Board has purchased a valuable lot of ground
adjoining our mission property here. This property was so occupied that
it has for years been a menace to the safety of our mission, and an intol-
erable nuisance besides. The owners held it at $4,Soo — but since the holi-
days it was sold at a forced sale and we bought it for $3,000. The Board
believes that arrangements have been made by which this sum can be paid
without drawing upon the regular funds in our treasury.
HENDERSON, N. C. ,
A change of administration was effected at the beginning of
the last year. Rev. J. L. Cook, who for ten years had been in charge
of the work at Athens, Tenn., was placed at the head of the work, as
pastor and principal. PTe was given a band of tried and faithful teachers
as his assistants, and the work has apparently prospered during the year.
The school has flourished, having a total enrollment for the year of 706,
we think the highest enrollment since its organization. The class room
work has been of a high order and the progress of the pupils very satis-
factory. The religious work has shown the most striking improvement.
1901.] Minutes of General Assembly. — Appendix. 309
The congregation has about doubled in membership and the Sabbath school
has reached the highest mark as to numbers ever attained in any of our
missions, the enrollment being 1,110. The methods of work adopted by
Mr. Cook are the same as those used in his former mission. The Word
is preached in the church once every Sabbath. At another hour a Bible
school is conducted. Here the Bible is studied in an informal way. The
members are given a chance to ask questions and express their opinion on
the passages under consideration and the pastor corrects them if in error.
Mr. Cook says, in the Bible school is where we get at our distinctives, and
as a result of our work in this direction there are several young men who
say they will leave the lodge and join our church. All the usual organ-
izations are kept up here as in the other fields.
Industrial Work. — Some kind of industrial work is carried on in all
our missions as far as our means will allow. Our Board is, however, a
Missionary Board and our work primarily and chiefly a missionary work.
Every school conducted by our Board is a missionary school, and more-
over is a United Presbyterian school in which the doctrines "professed by
this Church" are taught, and the effort is constantly made to have the pupils
impressed with the phase of the Christian faith for which our church stands.
The teachers are United Presbyterians.

NEW WORK.
No new work was undertaken by the Board during the last year.
The last General Assembly authorized your Board "to investigate the
field of the island of Cuba, with a view to establishing a mission among the
needy people." Upon this authorization the Board met shortly after the
adjournment of the Assembly and took the matter under advisement. Subse-
quently, several meetings of the Board were held, and all the information
that could be obtained by correspondence and otherwise laid before it. It ap-
peared from reports by Governor-General Wood upon the question of the
education of the Cubans, that their needs in this direction were being supplied
in some good measure. He says: "Schools have increased, in a few months,
from a few hundred to over three thousand — the school attendance has doubled
and redoubled several times since our control was established, and there are
now 160.000 children in school, and three-quarters of a million dollars' worth
of supplies have been distributed." This year, Gen. Wood declares, "the ex
penditure for school funds will be over $4,000,000. Summer normal schools
are to be established throughout Cuba, and pains taken to bring to the island
first-class instructors in educational methods; while it is hoped that four
or five hundred teachers may be sent to the United States to receive in-
312 Minutes of General Assembly. — Appendix. [vol. x, no. 2,
struction." In view of these facts the Board did not deem it best to go
farther in the matter, but rather to rest the case for the present and report
thus far its action to this Assembly. This conclusion was reached the more
readily owing to the fact that no part of the $2,000 appropriated by the last
Assembly for investigating the field came to our treasury designated so as to
warrant the using of it for this pvirpose. and, moreover, it became more evident
every month that the receipts would not be sufficient to carry on the work
already undertaken in our own country, and pay the burdensome debt, which
has hindered the work for years. We leave the matter with the Assembly
without suggestion or recommendation.
Women's Auxiliary Board. — This Board has heartily and cordially co-
operated with us during the year, paying, as formerly, the salaries of all in-
dustrial teachers except those of the mechanical and agricultural professors
of Knoxville College, and the salaries of the printers at Knoxville and Nor-
folk. Without this aid it would be impossible for us to carry on the work
in its present form and extent. The amount received from the Women's
Board for this purpose was $6,585.00.
Debt. — We are very sorry, and not a little disappointed, that we are still
compelled to carry into the next year a debt which has so long burdened and
hindered the work. It amounts to $20,350.
Appropriation.— The. Board respectfully asks the Assembly to appropriate
$55,000 for the work of the next year.
Vacancies.— The term of office of Revs. D. W. Carson, .D.D.. W. H.
McMillan, D.D., and W. S. Harper, D.D., expires with this meeting.
Respectfully submitted.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF CHURCH EXTENSION.
The Board of Church Extension respectfully reports that the year has
brought many blessings, but also great sorrow and loss, not to the Board
only, but to the whole Church, in the death of two of its most faithful and
efficient members.
After a short illness, Mr. William J. Sawyer died on the 12th of Decem-
ber. Mr. Sawyer was elected to this service by the General Assembly of
1883, and during these more than seventeen years gave special attention to
the work of the Board, and for a considerable part of the time was a member
of the Committee on Finance. The following minute was adopted :
"The members of the Board record their profound sorrow and sense of
loss in the death of a member so much beloved and so valuable in counsel, and
extend their sympathy to the bereaved friends.
"For over seventeen years Mr. Sawyer has been a member of this Board,
and by his kindly courtesy and his eminently Christian spirit endeared himself
to his fellow members. He brought into the service a large experience in
benevolent work, an intimate knowledge of the United Presbyterian Church,
with an intense desire to advance all its interests, and, above all a supreme
faith in God and humble dependence on his grace. He was faithful in his
attendance, and gave careful attention to the details of the work of the Board.
His judgment was clear and always had great weight. He had a warm sym-
pathy for the missions, and advocated the largest possible help for them. He
in no measure spared himself in any duty assigned to him, his first thought
being the prosperity of the Church and the advancement of the kingdom of
God. In all his life his spirit was that of an earnest Christian who loved his
Lord and was devoted to his service.
1 90 1 . ] Minutes of General Assembly. — Appendix. 313.
"We mourn him as a brother beloved, taken away from us in the midst
of his days."
On the 8th of March Mr. Thomas McCance, the senior member of the
Board, and a member of the Committee on Finance, ceased from his labors
in the completeness of a life of usefulness in many departments of the work
of the Church. The following minute was adopted :
"The members of the Board, thus called upon a second time within a few
months to mourn the death of a brother greatly beloved, humbly bow before
the will of our Lord by which sorrow is added to sorrow, and out of their
own grief extend their sympathy to the breaved family and friends.
"Mr. McCance has been a member of the Board since 1877, and in this
long term of service has proved himself worthy of the confidence placed in
him and of the high esteem in which he was held by his brethren. He was
courteous in manner, kindly and genial in spirit, ever ready for whatever the
work of the Board required of him. and faithful in the discharge of the duty
involved. He loved the Church, was familiar with its history and work, and
brought into the service his large experience, his good judgment, his prudence,
and his reverent and devoted love to the Lord Jesus. He never allowed per-
sonal interests to interfere with his service in the Board, and even when
feebleness of health would have justified rest from active labor, he continued
to give his remaining strength to the mission work. The Spirit of the Lord
was upon him, and he wearied not until in the completeness of a long and
useful Christian life he was called to enter the presence of the Lord."
The vacancies thus created were filled by the election of Mr. William H.
Jamison and Mr. E. W. Hill.
The Board has endeavored to fulfill the trust committed to it. Monthly
meetings have been held, and careful consideration has been given to every
application presented. An effort has been made to distribute the funds at com-
mand equitably to every part of the Church. Special care has been takem
to secure the adoption of suitable plans, and also to develop the spirit of self-
dependence. The corresponding secretary visited as many of the synods as
possible, and at others the cause was presented by the corresponding secretary
of the Board of Home Missions, under an arrangement for mutual help. Cir-
culars have been issued, and much correspondence has been had to make-
known the work and needs of the Board.
As noted in former reports, the applications are for much larger grants
than formerly. The Church has everywhere felt the general change in the
social life of the country, resulting from the increase of wealth. In all the
cities and towns great public improvements have been made, and the general
style of building is more elaborate and expensive. In all the churches more
expensive houses of worship have been erected. The missions have felt the
spirit, and ask for larger and more perfectly equipped churches, in order to
be in harmony with their surroundings, and to be able to compete with well
established congregations. The Board appreciates this feeling and recognizes,
that present methods of work and general social conditions require a better
grade of churches than formerly, but is of the opinion that the tendency is
towards a too large expenditure in the early part of the work. The Board has
not been able, in every case, to prevent the missions from contracting debt,
and so bringing upon themselves a burden heavy to be borne. In some cases
this was clearly unavoidable except by appropriations not authorized by the
General Assemblj', but in others the Board has insisted, as much as was
deemed prudent, on a less expenditure until the congregation would be well
established. In very few cases have the presbyteries placed restrictions in this
direction when endorsing the applications for aid.
As one result of these more expensive buildings private appeals have been
made quite extensively in the Church at large. The Board has not the power
to interfere with the individual right of giving, nor does it wish to do so, but
it is convinced that the many appeals for special objects diminish the income
for the work undertaken by the General Assembly through its Board <?
314 Minutes of General Assembly. — Appendix. [vol. x, no. 2,
No appropriation has been made for aid in the Associate Reformed Synod
of the South, because of the large demands for our own missions.
The Women's Missionary Board has made grants to the following con-
gregations for parsonages : New Haven, Mich. ; Reinbeck, Iowa ; Clarion,
Iowa ; Orchard, Neb. ; Seattle, Wash. ; Oak Harbor, Wash. ; Superior, Neb. ;
Northfield, O. ; St. Joseph, Mo.
The increase of parsonage building and the consequent new conditions
have suggested the necessity for a revision of the regulations governing the
co-operation of the two Boards. A conference on the subject will be held at
an early day. I
SABBATH SCHOOLS.
The Fresno, Cal., church was designated as the Sabbath school memorial
for the year now closed. The contributions of the Sabbath schools covered
the cost of the very suitable house which has been erected. The detailed
reports of the financial agents show that a large number of the Sabbath
schools do not contribute to the erection of mission churches.
APPROPRIATIONS.
The Board considered every application with great care, and made such
grants as, in its judgment, were necessary. This has not always been to the
amount of the application, but the grant has generally proved sufficient.
The appropriations made are as follows :
CONGREGATION. PRESBYTERY. DONATION. LOAN.
Allegheny, Duquesne Park .... Allegheny $ 1,300 00

$36,975 00 $ 5,000 00
Total appropriations 41, 975 00
The First church, Boston, Mass., which formerly received aid under the
direct instructions of the General Assembly, finds its house of worship entirely
inadequate. The present building is too small, and is not strong enough to
bear remodelling. To buy the additional lot necessary and rebuild will require
a very large sum. The Board is convinced that the congregation should have
better accommodations, but did not feel free to do more than to consent to
waive its claim so far as to permit a mortgage on the property. No progress
has yet been made. The title is in the trustees of the General Assembly.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT.
As compared with the preceding year, the contributions from congrega-
tions and Sabbath schools have been larger, but the amount from societies
is smaller, chiefly because but little of the Tenth Anniversary fund remained
to be paid in. The exceptionally large individual contributions of last year
have not been equalled.

3i6 Minutes of General Assevibly. — Appendix. [vol. x, no. 2,
The contributions received, including individual donations, amount to
54.3 per cent, of the appropriation by the General Assembly.
Of the 909 congregations in America 172 have not contributed to this work.
The general financial prosperity of the country reasonably led to the
expectation of large contributions for mission work, but there has been dis-
appointment. The experience of this Board has been the experience of others.
So far as this is because of the many appeals for special objects, it is to be
regretted that the work undertaken by the General Assembly should be al-
lowed to sufifer. So far as it may be due to the absorption of the resources
of the people by the great industrial, commercial and financial schemes of the
past year, it is to be lamented. The General Assembly is asked to take meas-
ures to awaken the people to a sense of the obligations and privileges of the
kingdom of God at the present time.
THE PERMANENT FUNDS.
The applications for parsonage loans having been all referred to the
Women's Missionary Board, the payments received have reduced the amount
of the parsonage loans to $7,463.69. The loans to congregations for churchef
have been reduced to $22,792.50. The loans from these funds thus paid
in have been added temporarily to the permanent reserve fund, which now
aggregates $111,894.96, including $16,700 subject to annuity. The total of
all the permanent funds, including the memorial funds, is $142,121.15. The
loans from these funds are made on first mortgage security. Each mortgage
is carefully examined by a competent attorney before it is accepted.
A detailed statement of these funds accompanies this report.
In accordance with the action of the last General Assembly, the "accounts,
securities and investments" of the Board have been audited by an "expert
accountant," well known in the city for his care, accuracy and thoroughness,
who is not a member of the Board, and who has conducted the audit for
several years. His certificate is attached to the treasurer's report.
The year has been one of very great anxiety concerning the work com-
mitted to the Board. From every quarter there is pressure for aid. The Board
has made the appropriations according to the best light at command. The
blessing of God has rested upon the missions, and the Assembly is asked to
render special thanks for the divine favor. The year in which we are now
entering gives promise of great missionary activity. In every part of the
country, especially in the manufacturing districts, the population is increasing
with remarkable rapidity. Towns of many thousand inhabitants are spring-
ing into existence. The Church must be awake to the demands of God's
providence, and, in faithfulness to its great commission, endeavor to give to
these the gospel of Christ and the ordinances of his grace. To do this very
liberal appropriations will be required. The Board respectfully asks the
General Assembly to give a prayerful consideration to the present conditions
and to encourage and stimulate the people to seek a more intense spiritual
life, and to make larger contributions for the work of the Lord.
The appropriation to the Board of Church Extension should be not less
than last year, $55,000.
The term of oftice of M. M. Patterson, William H. Jamison, and E. W.
Hill, expires this year.
The Board again acknowledges with gratitude the valuable services of the
superintendents of missions and financial agents, and its obligations to William
F. Robb, Esq., and F. L. Stephenson, Esq., as notaries.
Respectfully submitted.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLICATION.
In submitting this our annual report to the General Assembly it becomes
our sad duty to report the death of the Rev. Samuel H. Graham, a beloved
brother, and for many years a faithful and efficient member of this Board,
and its recording secretary.
OUR PUBLICATIONS.
Among these we mention a special edition of Songs of the Ages for The
Midland; also two editions of Bible Songs; an edition of No. 501 Psalm
Books, and Psalms for Bible use. A large edition of the Psalter has been
published to supply those who by subscription have guaranteed its issue.
A new and enlarged edition of Bible Songs has been prepared and
is now in the hands of the printers. It will be ready by June 15. The first
volume of "Junior Normal Lessons," ordered by the Assembly of 1900, has
been prepared as directed. It has not met with the success that was expected.
We have not undertaken the publication of any new books, as no manuscripts
were ofifered, the publication of which, it was believed, would command such
a sale as would justify the Board in their issue.
It is the purpose of the Board to engage more extensively than heretofore
in the publication of small books and tracts of a denominational character,
to be distributed, for the most part, gratuitiously.
The General Assembly of 1900 adopted this : "Resolved, that the Board
of Publication be instructed by this Assembly to prepare a concise but com-
prehensive summary of the authoritative standards of the Church and submit
its work to the General Assembly of 1901 for approval." A competent com-
mittee, appointed soon after the adjournment of the Assembly, has under-
taken the work and finds it one of considerable magnitude, and is only able
to report progress. The work cannot be completed until the meeting of Assem-
bly of next year.
The following resolution was offered by the financial committee of the
Assembly and adopted: "i. That the matter of preparing a suitable book
for the use of financial agents in keeping their accounts be referred to the
Board of Publication, with instructions to prepare such a book if the way
be clear, and furnish a copy to each financial agent." This work is in the
hands of a competent committee which is not yet able to report to the Board
the completion of its work.
GRANTS.
The grants of the Board to mission churches and Sabbath schools have
been as large as the means at our disposal would permit. We are glad to be
able to say that no newly organized church or Sabbath school applying for
help which was really needed has failed to receive a reasonable proportion
of the aid asked.
Grants to the number of 136 have been made, principally to mission
stations and Sabbath schools. Our donations in Psalm books, Bible Songs,
periodicals and Bibles for eleven months, or up to March 31st, when our
books close, amounted to $1,628.50, which is about $328 more than the amount
at our disposal for the purpose. A complete list of donations made' by the
Board for eleven months, beginning with May i, accompanies this report.
OUR SABBATH SCHOOL WORK.
We are gratified to be able to report an increased interest in Sabbath
schools throughout the Church. The action of the General Assembly of
1900 was favorable and encouraging to the Board. It gave it an appropria-
tion of $500. Of this amount $479.33 has been received to the date of thi.s
report.

judgment as to time and place, press the mission Sabbath school as an excel-
lent help in entering and holding the open doors for the gospel."
Synod of Iowa. — "4. That we ask special attention to the action of the
General Assembly urging upon presbyterial Sabbath school superintendents
a thorough canvass of their respective presbyteries with a view to establishing
new mission schools under the supervision of their sessions."
The Synod of California. — We understand that this synod will present
to the General Assembly a memorial asking it to appoint two missionary
evangelists to labor under the direction of the Board of Publication.
Other synods have spoken in commendation of the work of the Board.
We respectfully ask the General Assembly to renew the action of the
last Assembly concerning Sabbath school superintendents. It is as follows:
"9. Responding to the suggestion of the Board of Publication, concerning a
'Twentieth Century Movement,' we urge upon the presbyterial Sabbath school
superintendents a thorough canvass of their respective presbyteries with a
view to the establishing of new mission schools under supervision of the
session."
"10. Acting on a further suggestion of the Board of Publication we
direct all presbyteries to require an annual report of their Sabbath school
superintendents and that the Sabbath school superintendents be required to
report all scholars which fail to report to them: and also that such schools
be required on the floor of presbytery to give a reason for such failure."
We suggest further that it would be gratifying to the Board if the General
Assembly would designate a part of the contributions of the Sabbath schools
to the Board's Sabbath school work, and thus enable it to increase its grants
to Mission churches and Mission Sabbath schools.
SABBATH SCHOOL STATISTICS.
Presbyterial Conventions. — Twenty-eight presbyteries report having held
either conventions or conferences. These were all spoken of as profitable.
Some recommend taking part in local union conventions. We earnestly urge
every P. S. S. S. to press the importance of conventions or conferences upon
the schools under his care.
Catechisms. —Seven hundred and six schools report that in them the
Catechism is taught.
Home Department. — There are reported 5,407 scholars ; yet this does not
represent the total enrollment, as many schools report such a class without
giving the number of scholars. We again call the attention of the Assembly
to the vital importance of this department.
Mission Schools. — The reported number is 78, one more than a year ago.
While many such schools have been organized during the year, almost an
equal number have been dissolved. In many of our presbyteries there are
fruitful fields for this kind of Christian work.

On the above statistics, and in the interest of the work in general, our
Sabbath School Committee makes the following comments and suggestions,
which we recommend to your careful consideration, viz. :
Prcsbyterial Sabbath School Superintendents. — With few exceptions they
manifest a deep interest, and make a persevering effort to secure reports from
all their schools.
Pastors. — There are 740 that are in attendance at the Sabbath school, a
slight decrease from the previous year.
Elders. — Of the 3,776 reported, 2,995 attend our schools.
Enrollment. — The total reported enrollment is 121,755, or 3,192 more than
one year ago. An increase is found in 39 presbyteries.
Average Attendance. — The reported number is 74,912. Proportionately
there has been an increase in each of the last three j^ears.
Contributions. — For many years there has been a gradual increase. This
year, however, the proportionate increase is larger than formerly. The sum
is $112,041. or $11,431 more than ever before. Of this amount $39,115 have
been contributed to the Boards of the Church.
Scholars Confessing Christ. — The reported number is 3,941, or 514 more
than last year. These figures, however, do not represent the entire number,
as 236 schools have either reported no accessions or left this column blank.
RECOMMENDATION.
We recommend the third Sabbath of October as a day of special prayer for
Sabbath schools; the second Sabbath in Tune as "Missionary and Children's
Day"; and the fourth Sabbath in November as "Temperance Day."

The report of the business department of the Board for 1900 and 1901
is for eleven months only. The short time given in previous years in pre-
paring the report was unsatisfactory and this year it was decided to close
the books with the last of March instead of the last of April. This accounts
for the small amount of money reported as having been received from the
presbyteries. The treasurer's report will show the full amount of money
received from this source up until the end of April as usual. Quite an amount
has been received since our books were closed.
The building is profitably rented, every room, as for the past two years,
being occupied, and we anticipate making some improvements which will re-
duce our expenses and we hope will increase our income.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION.
It is with gratitude and thanksgiving to God that the Board of Education
closes the work of the year. The educational institutions of the Church have
been prospered, the work in these institutions has been successfully prosecuted,
and the aggregate of students is about fifteen more than during the preceding
year. The young men to whom appropriations of money have been made are
reported as making commendable progress in their studies. The contributions
of the Church, while falling much below the recommendations of the General
Assembly, show that the presbyteries and .synods arc giving attention to this
department of Christian work. A summary of the work for the year is here-
with submitted :
322 Minutes of General Assembly. — Appendix. [vol. x, no. 2,
I. Beneficiaries.
Fifty-two students received ?id upon the recommendation of presbyteries.
Forty of the students attended the seminary at Allegheny, Pa., and ten, the
serninary at Xenia, Ohio. Two are literary students ; one a member of the
senior class of Cooper Memorial College, and one a member of the present
senior class at Westminster.
Thirty-four students received $125 each; eight, $100 each; one, $80, and
nine, $50 each. The total payment to students amounted to $5,580, or $813
more than the preceding year.
The following presbyteries have been represented : Allegheny, Mononga-
hela, Muskingum, and Wheeling, four students each ; College Springs, Garnett,
Monmouth and Steubenville, three students each; Beaver Valley, Chartiers,
Frankfort, Pawnee and Xenia, two students each; Albany, Argj^le, Arkansas
Valley, Butler, Chillicothe, Cleveland, Conemaugh, Kansas City, Kiskiminetas,
Mansfield, Princeton, Rock Island, Tennessee and Westmoreland, one student
each.
Twenty-seven of the j'oung men receiving aid are graduates of our own
colle.ges; twenty-two graduated from colleges of other denominations, or from
non-denominational schools ; and three are undergraduates.
Revs. P. C. Baird, J. W. Innis and J. B. Lee, who have entered the min-
istry of other denominations, have returned in part, or in full, the money re-
ceived from the board ; and Rev. R. S. Young has arranged for payment in
the near future. Rev. J. P. Nesbit of our own Church, has returned the
money received while in preparation for the ministry, and the amount has
passed into the beneficiary found for the assistance of other young men.
II. Seminaries, Colleges and Academies.
The number of students in attendance at the theeological seminaries is 93,
the same number as reported last year. The statements of the five colleges
show an actual attendance in all departments of 1,317. There are 194 students
in the two academies.
The Presbytery of Southern Illinois reconmiended an apportion of $300
from the College and Seminary Fund, for Stuttgart College. Arkansas. The
General Assembly has heretofore designated the schools which are to receive
appropriations, and the Board has not felt at liberty to add to the list of these
beneficiary institutions. The Board refers the matter to the General Assembly
for action.
The rule adopted by the General Assembly for the distribution of the
College and Seminary Fund gives the institutions the following amounts :
Allegheny Seminary $ 1.958 78
Xenia Seminary 874 55
Cooper Memorial College "^66 80
Monmouth College T.505 60
Muskingum College 1,156 70
Tarkio College 930 97
Westminster College 1,806 60
Pawnee City -Academy 500 00
Waitsburg Academy 500 00
The several institutions have prepared the statements herewith submitted
for the consideration of the Assembly.
.Seminaries.
Allegheny, Pa. There are four professors. Seventy-four students have
been in attendance during the session. The senior class numbers 21 : the mid-
dle class, 30; the junior class. 20, and there are three irregulars. The present
endowment is $245,000, and the property is valued at $150,000.
1 90 1 . ] Minutes of General Assembly. — Appendix. 323
The year has been a good one in every respect. The young men have
been studious and faithful. An especially good course of lectures in our
special lecture course was given on "Modern Sabbath School Methods and
Work." The blessing of God has been on the Board of Directors in its efforts
to equip the seminary with a good building and all modern appliances. The
new building is a model of convenience ; its dormitories are unsurpassed ; the
gymnasium gives opportunity for needed exercise ; the Law library fund is
enabling us, in some measure, to keep our library abreast of the times ; the
reading room is provided with the best magazines and papers.
The effort of those in authority is to make this seminary second to none
in its equipment and teaching force. This end will be constantly striven after,
but there is still much to be done. There is a debt remaining on the new
buildmg. A seminary with only four professors cannot be said to be fully
manned. There is urgent need of at least one more professor. A modern
building has brought increased expense, so that but for the timely aid from the
Board of Education our expenses would exceed our income, and this too with
the most careful looking after the outlay. Another $100,000 added to our en-
dowment would still leave us far short of that possessed by any first-class
seminary undertaking the work committed to us. Such an addition to our
endowment would mean much for our seminary. It would enable us at once
to increase the faculty, and to enlarge in many ways. We have confidence
to believe that this additional endowment will come in due time ; for we are
persuaded that the United Presbyterian Church will not be satisfied without
having her seminaries adequately equipped for giving the best classical theo-
logical education.
Xenia, Ohio. — The faculty consists of four professors. During the year
nineteen students have been in attendance. The classification is as follows :
Seniors, seven; middle class, four; juniors, eight. The present endowment
amounts to $150,000. Since the last report there has been an increase of
$15,000, to the permanent endowment. The property is valued at $10,000.
The session of 1900- 1901 has been in manv respects very good, exception-
ally good for pleasantness and for the diligence and progress of the students.
The average grade in recitations was higher than it has ever been.
Colleges.
Cooper Memorial College. — There are ten professors. The actual attend-
ance of students is 169. They are classified as follows : Collegiate depart-
ment, 39; preparatory, 65; other departments, 65. The present senior class
numbers eight ; one of the number expects to enter the ministry. Seventy per
cent, of the students are church members ; the interest in the Christian work
of the college is good. The Prayer Guild is the organization for Christian
work.
The invested endowment amounts to $25,000, and the property is valued
at $28,000. The college needs more money in order to do her work as it ought
to be done. The competition with other institutions is close. The State insti-
tutions offer free tuition. They can offord large libraries and extensive ap-
paratus. Many of the denominational institutions are obtaining large en-
dowments. Cooper Memorial has a good field, and a bright future before her,
if she can get the means needed to do her work. God can give her the money
needed, and in his own time he will do it. By fourteen years of faithful, suc-
cessful work, the college has gained a right to a warm place in the hearts of
the Church.
Knoxville College. — The faculty consists of 14 professors, and there are
299 students. Twenty-two are in the regular collegiate classes, 81 in the pre-
paratory, and 196 in other departments. Ninety-seven per cent, are members
of the Church. The Christian organizations are the Y. P. C. U. and Y. M.
C. A., and there is good interest taken by the students in Christian work. The
property is valued at $110,000.
324 Minutes of General Assembly. — Appendix. [vol. x, no. 2,
The year's work has been very satisfactory. The attendance has been
good and an excellent spirit has pervaded the atmosphere. The teaching force,
including matrons and foremen, numbers twenty-five. One new department
has been opened up very successfully this year, a domestic science depart-
ment. In this department students are taught cooking, including the chem-
istry of foods, and all that pertains to the proper jnanagement of the kitchen.
The health of the teachers and students has been good. Processor W. G. Purdy
has been away on a leave of absence during the year, /)n account of his health,
but is greatly improved and will take up his work next year. The industrial
feature of our work has been given more prominence than heretofore, and is
proving a most important feature. The students are taught the trades of farm-
ing, carpentering, printing, sewing and cooking. They are not only thus en-
abled to learn useful trades for life, but are in these departments able to earn
a part of their expense through school. The medical department of the col-
lege has been discontinued as there was no provision made for its proper equip-
ment, and for evident reasons a medical department ought not to be so closely
connected with the collegiate department. At the very best only second rate
work could be done with the arrangement and equipment, and the standard
of the college is that only first-class work can be tolerated. The graduates
of the collegiate department number six, the normal department the same
number. Knoxville College has celebrated her quarter centennial since the
Assembly. It has been a quarter of a century of great achievement for the
Lord. Her graduates and students are scattered all over the south land, and
wherever they go carry the spirit of consecration and desire to be helpful to
their communities.
The college needs very badly larger equipment in her industrial depart-
ments, and above all a liberal endowment. An option has been secured on
a tract of thirty acres of land adjoining the college property, which must be
secured if the industrial departments are developed as they ought. The land
can be bought for $7,500. This is a very reasonable figure for it, as it is just
outside the corporation limits of the city. We appeal to the Church to pro-
vide this much needed addition to our college property at once. The college
ought to be endowed to relieve the Freedmen's Board of its burden, and thus
enable them to place the offerings to the Board in other places from which the
call is coming so urgently.
Monmouth College. — Professors and instructors, 18 ; students, 303. There
are in the collegiate classes 147 ; preparatory, 102 ; other departments, 83.
There are 30 in the present senior class. Of the 15 young men who graduate,
nine expect to enter the ministry. Ninety-live per cent, of the students are
members of the Church. The organizations for Christian work are the Y.
M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. The report of the faculty states that the interest
in Christian work among the students is only fair. The permanent envested
endowment is $165,464.65, and the property is valued at $88,298.85. .
Monmouth College needs a library building, a scientific building and a
larger endowment. A working library is as necessary to a college as a chest of
tools is to a carpenter. Monmouth College has done noble work with very poor
equipment, but that is the very reason why she should be well equipped. Work-
ing tools in the shape of a first-class library in a good library building is her
most crying need to-day. Her prospects are bright, provided her support can
he made strong. The small college well equipped, and doing first-class work
under strong Christian influence, need have no fear of competition. Her future
is secure. Many small colleges are doomed to go to the wall in the next quar-
ter of a century unless their support is very greatly increased. In this respect
Monmouth College is on the up grade. She will make heroic efforts to reach
the top. With her strong faculty, her noble spirit and purpose, she ought to
succeed and she will succeed. She claims the generous support of the Church
because she is the child of the Church, and still more because she is at the
same time the stay and strength of the Church. If our colleges cease grad-
ipoi.] Minutes of General Assembly . — Appe?idix. 325;
uating ministers and missionaries, what of the Church of the future? Mon-
mouth College claims the support of God's people, because she is enlarging and.
strengthening the lives of God's children.
Muskingum College. — The number of professors and instructors is 13.
The number of students in actual attendance during the year is 213, and the
classification is, preparatory department, 85; collegiate, 96; other departments,
80. There are 21 in the present senior class, 13 males, 8 females. Of the
young men, five to eight will enter the ministry. The per cent, of church
members is 92. Very good interest is taken by the students in the Christian
work of the college. The organizations are the Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A. and
Missionary Society. The present endowment amounts to $37,000. and $500
have been added during the year. The property is valued at $33,000.
This has been a prosperous year. While the whole number of students
in the preparatory and college classes for the year is but nineteen larger than
last year, yet the attendance each session has been much larger. This is be-
cause the percentage attending but a small part of the year was much smaller,
nearly all being students throughout the entire year — a fact which promises
well for solid growth in attendance. The percentage of students pursuing
partial courses is decreasing, and many more are, from the start, looking to-
ward degrees.
Including those who are now in the theological seminaries, and the seniors
who expect to enter the ministry, Muskingum has, in the last ten years, fur-
nished 55 to 58 to the ministry — 45 of them in our own Church. This is over
half the male graduates during these years. Sixteen are now in the semin-
aries, and five to eight will enter next fall. These figures indicate that the
work is still so shaped as to contribute directly, and as largely as possible, to
the Church's working force.
The location of the college in southeastern Ohio, with but one other col-
lege— lately started — within a radius of fifty miles, is important in determin-
ing what should be the Church's attitude toward her. The section served is
one in which our Church is strong. The needs of the college, that she may
worthily represent our Church in this favorable field, are of course numerous
and varied ; but it is agreed by trustees, synod, alumni, and faculty that a gen-
erous increase of endowment is the pressing want of the present. Rev. David
Livingston, Station A, Route 2, Columbus, Ohio, is the college's representa-
tive with the people.
Tarkio College. — Professors, 13 ; instructors employed full time, 3 ; stu-
dents in preparatory department. 123; student^ in collegiate department, 63;
students in commercial department, 78 ; students in musical department, 248 ;:

tions for Christian work, Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. The students have
been active in Christian work in conection with the special meetings held
during the fall and winter. One hundred per cent, of the senior, junior and
sophomore classes; 95.3 per cent, of the collegiate department; 94.3 per cent,
of the preparatory department : y:^, per cent, of the commercial department are
professing Christians. Ninety-one per cent, of the three departments men-
tioned above are professed Christians. It is not practicable to secure statistics
for the musical department. The endowment of the college is $60,000. There
has been no increase during the year. The value of the college property is
$85,000.
The college always needs more and yet more of the Spirit of God. This
is its supreme need. Its managers should have more faith in God. An en-
larged faith would bring enlarged means. Under God our greatest need is
for increased endowment. There is a wide field in this former slave state for
the increase of students, and the enlargement of the work of the United Pres-
byterian Church. It can only be fully occupied through the college. The col-
lege cannot occupy it without an increase of endowment and of buildings. So-
326 Minutes of General Assembly. — Appejidix. [vol. x, no. 2,
far as the prospect for this is concerned, we walk by faith, not by sight. The
college is proving a potent influence in the aggressive work of the Church.
Its graduates who enter the ministry are willing to go into difficult fields.
Many are working in the foreign field, and more are looking that way for their
future work. Its alumni who go into other professions, business or into the
home are, for the most part, useful in the Church and in society. Very many
who do not graduate make better Christians and better citizens for their brief
stay in college. The men and women for whom it is responsible are the best
claim which the college can make on the Church and on Christian people.
Westminster College. — There are 12 professors in the faculty. The num-
ber of students in attendance during the year is 294. Fifty-two are in the pre-
paratory, 191 in the collegiate, and 49 in other departments. The present
senior class numbers 45. It is thought that eight of the young men will enter
the ministry. The Christian organizations of the college are Y. M. C. A. and
Y. W. C. A. More than usual interest has been taken in Bible study.
The effort to endow the college more liberally is now fairly started by
the joint committee of the synods. The committee, while feeling deeply the
great loss occasioned by the death of its interested and efficient chairman, Rev.
Dr. Robinson, went on with its work without interruption. The outlook
promises abundant labors and good results. An encouraging beginning has
been made, and we are hopeful that the friends of the college will rally to
her help and the year 1902, which rounds out her fifty years, may find her upon
a satisfactory financial basis by the completion of the proposed new endowment
of $200,000.
Academies.
Pawnee City, Nebraska. — The present faculty consists of Rev. R. T.
Campbell, principal ; Antoinette E. Latson, Laura Strong Shelden, Helen Ger-
true Ogden and Frank E. Young. The enrollment of the year is in. The
classification is as follows: Seniors, 8; juniors, 11; sophomores, 5; freshmen,
12 ; irregulars, 29 ; commercial, 13 ; music, t,2). This is an increase of four over
the enrollment of last year, and an increase of seven in the literary depart-
ment. The property is valued at $25,000, and is vested in a board of ten trus-
tees. The property is secured to the United Presbyterian Church, as required
by the Assembly. The subscriptions secured throughout the Synod of Ne-
braska are slowly being paid in, and, if carefully handled, will pay off the
indebtedness of $8,500, which has rested on the building ever since its erection.
The board of trustees earnestly ask that the academy be recommended to the
General Assembly for the usual annual appropriation of $500 from the College
and Seminary fund.
Waitsburg, Washington. — The Waitsburg Academy is under the control
of the Synod of the Columbia. The faculty consists of Rev. J. A. Keener,
principal ; Robert M. Horner, Miss Elma R. Lorimer, Mrs. Vinnie Purrington,
and Mrs. Vinnie Abbott, professors. Eighty-three students have been in at-
tendance during the year — 43 males, and 40 females. The classification is,
academic, 50 ; music, 33. There are six in the graduating class. The academy
has been in operation fifteen years. The present valuation of property is
$20,000, with an invested endowment of $4,000.
The needs of the school are briefly stated. It needs, first, more endow-
ment, as the present small endowment is entirely insufficient, thus forbidding
enlargement of the course of study, as well as the employment of a sufficient
number of teachers. It needs in the second place a dormitory, or dormitories.
Being without anything in the shape of accommodation for students from a
distance, it must necessarily be limited in the matter of attendance to local
students. Wise parents do not, as a rule, send their children to a school where
dormitory accommodations are not to be had, as such a course would leave
their children at the mercy of the different circumstances of the community
in which the school is located. Under such circumstances there is usually
but little shelter for young minds and hearts. The school has an excellent

standing in the community and throughout the State, and with a larger en-
dowment and dormitory buildings, would rapidly increase in numbers and
influence. Our hope is that the future will abundantly supply the needs of the
Waitsburg Academy. An appropriation of $500 from the College and Sem-
inary fund is asked for the ensuing year.
III. Finance.
The annual statement of the treasurer, properly audited, is submitted to
the Assembly. Each presbytery in the home Church has made a contribution
to the educational fund. The aggregate amount received from presbyteries
is $607.70 more than was received from the same source during the preceding
year. The General Assembly of 1900 appropriated 29 cents per member for
educational purposes, 7 cents for the regular work, and 22 cents for the Col-
lege and Seminary fund. The contributions received from the several pres-
byteries may be classified as follows : One presbytery gave less than one cent
per member ; two, less than two cents ; six, less than three cents ; three, less
than four cents; three, less than five cents; six, less than six cents; six, less
than seven cents ; four, less than eight cents ; two, less than nine cents ; four,
less than ten cents ; three, less than eleven cents ; two, less than twelve cents ;
three, less than thirteen cents; four, less than fourteen cents; two, less than
sixteen cents ; two, less than seventeen cents ; one, less than eighteen cents ;
four, less than nineteen cents ; two, less than twenty cents ; one, less than
twenty-three cents ; and one — Cedar Rapids — twenty-nine cents.
The Synod of New York gave $1,648.80, 10 cents per member; the Synod
of Pittsburgh gave $3,210.30, 13 cents per member; the First Synod gave
$2,293.81, 13 cents per member; the Synod of Ohio gave $1,036.70, 10 cents per
member; the Second Synod gave $719.70, 8 cents per member; the Synod of
Illinois gave $970.32, 10 cents per member; the Synod of Iowa gave $1,318.67,
14 cents per member; the Synod of Kansas gave $335.26, 8 cents per member;
the Synod of Nel^raska gave $335.14. 9 cents per member; the Synod of Cali-
fornia gave $147.79, 9 cents per member; the Synod of Columbia gave $129.91,
9 cents per member.
The Board has made full payment of appropriations to students, but it
was found when closing the report that there was an overdraft on this fund
of $469.34. Since balancing the accounts for the year a part of this money
has been refunded, and the whole amount will be paid in the near future.
Special mention should be made of the help received from the Young People's
Tenth Anniversary Offering, from the Women's General Missiorkary Society,
from former beneficiaries who have returned the money received that it may
be used for the assistance of others; and for the thoughtfulness of those who
by donation and legacy have added materially to the permanent funds of the
Board.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF MINISTERIAL RELIEF.
In presenting the annual report of the Board of Ministerial Relief, we
again have great cause for thankfulness for the continued evidences of the
oversight and guidance of the Head of the Church in our operations and
plans for the relief of those who come under our care. There has been some
improvement in the contributions received from presbyteries, and yet we have
again to record that the amount received has fallen far short of the appro-
priation by the General Assembly. The amount appropriated by the last
Assembly was $8,000, the receipts from presbyteries have been $5,082.83. We
are glad to report that the income of the Board from other sources, such as
legacies, individual contributions and interest on endowment fund, has been
so large that there has been no delay in promptly meeting all the claims of
the beneficiaries of the Board. This encouraging condition of our affairs has
suggested the propriety of enlarging the plans of the Board and increasing
the amount of relief granted to those in need. We herewith submit for the
consideration and judgment of the Assembly, the changes which we have
thought it would be well to make :
First, That the maximum annuity paid to beneficiaries be increased from
$200 to $250.
Second, That any honorably retired minister who has reached the age of
seventy years and who has been engaged in the service of the United Pres-
byterian Church, as a missionary of the Foreign, Home or Freedmen's Board,
or as a pastor or stated supply, for a period aggregating not less than thirty
years, shall be entitled, by such service, to draw from the Board of Ministerial
Relief an annual sum for his support without annual recommendation for the
same from his presbytery. When such a minister shall certify to the presby-
tery the fact and amount of his need, together with his statement as to the
years of service rendered to the Church, his field or fields of labor, with the
term of service in each, it shall be the duty of the stated clerk of the pres-
bytery to forward the application to the Board with his endorsement. It shall
then be the duty of the Board to pay such applicant an annuity not exceeding
lyoi.] Minutes of General Assetnbly . — Appendix. 329
$250 during the remainder of his life unless, because of some change in his
circumstances, the presbytery or the applicant himself shall otherwise direct.
Third, That a standing committee, to be known as the Ministerial Relief
Committee, shall be appointed by each presbytery. It shall be the duty of this
committee to examine carefully every application for aid, and to report to the
presbytery the result of such investigation, and also to endeavor to increase
the interest of the congregations in the work of the Board.
We believe that, if this plan shall meet with the approval of the Assem-
bly, the Board of Ministerial Relief will have a stronger claim than hereto-
fore upon the sympathy and support of the Church. Our work will be en-
larged in undertaking to provide more liberally for those already under our
care, and also in including those who have not before been eligible to relief
from our funds. The adoption of this plan would greatly increase the annual
liabilities of the Board, but we hope and believe that the interest and zeal of
our entire Church would be so increased and intensified that the propriety and
success of the changes would be promptly manifest. We ask the earnest and
prayerful consideration of the Assembly to th^ whole subject.
The endowment fund is now $116,090, an increase of $9,890 mainly from
a legacy of 40 shares of Westinghouse Air Brake stock, valued at this time
at $7,440. As mortgages are paid off and re-investments have to be made,
it is found necessary in almost all cases to change the rate of interest from
six to five per cent.
There are now 66 beneficiaries on the roll : 22 ministers, 41 widows, 3
single persons. Three died during the year and one new name was added :
In view of the prospective enlargement of the field of labor of the Board
and the increased payment to beneficiaries, an appropriation of $10,000 is asked
for the coming year.
The term of office of James McCartney, James S. McCracken and James
D. Ferguson expires at this time.
The treasurer's report follows, audited by an authorized accountant as
directed by the last Assembly.

REPORT OF THE WOMEN'S BOARD.
FOREIGN DEPARTMENT.
In reviewing the work of this department, there is much to encourage
from conditions both at home and abroad. Especially cheering reports have
been received concerning what has been accomplished by our faithful mis-
sionary women, native teachers and zenana workers. The one regret is that
a large part of the new work planned for last year did not materialize. Only
two new missionaries were added to the force of missionary women (credit,
however, should be given to three applicants who proved ineligible), and not
even the foundations of the Tanta Hospital have as yet been laid, because of
oriental fickleness.
Financially, the past year has been the most prosperous one of all in the
history of this department, the contributions amounting to $37,47930; dis-
bursements, $31,707.21.
Precisely the same appeals as last year have come to our Women's Board
for more missionary women, viz., four for each field. Just here we desire
to ask the question, Are there no more physically strong, capable, well edu-
cated, consecrated young women in our beloved Church who are willing to
devote themselves to the Master's service in our foreign fields? Will the
fathers and brothers in this General Assembly please take the question home
with them, otherwise it may be necessary to report next year that strangers
are entering our mission fields and gathering the ripening harvests that we
are unable to touch.
Work for the present year is the support of all work in hand, viz., the
salaries of the thirty-nine missionary women, medical work, the girls' board-
ing school at Sialkot, some native helpers and Bible women, and a new
boarding school for girls in Upper Egypt, at an estimated cost of about $800
for the first year, in a rented building. This new work is undertaken at the
earnest request of the Egyptian Mission Association. The total cost of all
this work amounts to something over $40,000. We believe the women of our
Church will provide every dollar needed to carry on this most important work.
Experience has proven that it is much easier to put money in our treasury
than to put missionary women in the foreign fields, but both are needed.
HOME MISSION AND MINISTERIAL RELIEF.
The Lord seems to have called our Board into special work for foreign-
ers during the past year. Four ordained ministers, one evangelist and five
women have carried the banner of the cross into eight different states. Rev.
J. A. Speer and Rev. J. A. Morrow have continued in labors for the Indians,
although both of these brethren have sent in their resignations, to take
effect about September ist. We are anxiously praying the Father to send
us the right men as their successors. Rev. Thomas M. Chalmers continues
1901.] Minutes of Getieral Assembly. — Appendix. 331
in charge of Messiah Mission in Chicago; Rev. R. G. Edgar in charge
of Italian Mission in Pittsburg, with Mr. Antoszeswski as a traveling evan-
gelist through Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey, carrying the Word
printed in the Polish and other Slavic languages to these peoples. Miss
Carothers, in Spokane; Miss Beaton, in Colfax; Miss Morrow, in Seattle;
Miss Wishart, in Pittsburgh, and Miss Marlin, in Bloomington, Ind., have
all rendered good and faithful service as city missionaries in mission sta-
tions. Several applications for similar workers have received favorable con-
sideration.
Amount expended for Indian work $ 2,928 80
Amount expended for Home work 14,271 90
Amount expended for Ministerial Relief 432 74
FREEDMEN'S DEPARTMENT.
The year just closed has been the most prosperous since we, as women,
have been doing mission work systematically.
Twenty industrial teachers and matrons have been supported, the expenses
of the various industrial departments have been met, and extensive repairs
on the farm and buildings owned by the Women's General Missionary Society,
at the various missionary stations, have been made. A teachers" home was
erected at Prairie at an outlay of $1,400.
A department for teaching domestic science was opened at Knoxville
College; cooking is taught at Norfolk, Va., Henderson, N. C, and Millers
Ferry. Alabama, additional this year.
The farm is now managed in a very satisfactory manner by Mr. N. B.
Cotton, formerly of Knoxville College. Fine crops were gathered this year,
consisting of corn and oats, and cotton, largely. Thirtj^-four bales of cotton
were produced on the shares. There are those who rent for the half share
of crop and those who prefer a money rent, A flourishing sewing depart-
ment is supported at each of nine stations.

CHURCH EXTENSION AND PARSONAGE WORK.
We present the report of this department with gratitude to our Heavenly
Father for His continued blessing.
That our parsonage work is growing has been evidenced this year in
the large number of requests for application blanks, and in the increased
number of applications for loans that have been returned to the Board.
The latter number twelve. Eleven were granted aggregating $15,400, Later,
it was found two of these grants amounting to $3,400 would not be called
for owing to inability of the congregations to give proper security. One
application was not granted because the Board felt it did not belong to the
class of congregations that should receive aid from this fund, and was refer-
red to Finance Committee at a higher rate of interest.
Receipts for the year, ending April 5, 1901. were $8,756.94, Missionary
societies (Women's and Junior's) contributed $934.95. Received from re-
payments of loans. $6,791.99. From Thank-offering, $1,030, Total disburse-
ments. $7,065,
We would urge, in the distribution of money by societies, that this de-
partment be not overlooked. There has been improvement in the matter of
332 Minutes of General Assembly . — Appendix. [vol. x, no. 2,
giving to this work, more societies contribute to it each year than formerly.
But, if we would judge from the statistical reports a large number still over-
look it.
The nine grants of the past year are as follows: New Haven, Mich.,
$500; Reinbeck. Iowa, $1,400; Clarion, Iowa, $1,000; Orchard, Neb., $400;
Seattle, Wash., $2,500; Oak Harbor, Wash., $500; Superior, Neb., $1,500;
Northfield, Ohio, $600; St. Joseph, Mo., $3,600.
JUNIOR MISSIONARY WORK.
The work of the year in this department has been exceedingly gratify-
ing, showing earnest, persistent effort on the part of those in charge of the
societies. We arc enabled to report statistics more nearly correct than for
any previous year. Out of the 60 or more presbyteries only 45 report Junior
Missionary societies, showing the need of more work.
Number of members last year ^A'^
Present membership, not including young women 6,537
An increase of 1,109
Number of societies 219
Number of nev,' societies 20
The contributions show the largest amount ever reported, $5,249, an
increase over last year of $1,210. The special work assigned the Juniors
of the Church was the support of 40 girls in the Girls' Boarding School,
Sialkote, India, at a cost of $1,000. The Junior Missionary societies have
paid, up to date, the liberal sum of $1,465.60, or $465 more than asked for
from all the Junior Societies of the Church; $217.70 has been received from
the J. C. E's and J. C. U's, making a total of $1,683.30.
The Board has felt for some time that it has not had the hearty support
of the ministers of the Church in this department of its work, but the
splendid success of these societies during the past year as indicated in the
above report justifies us in asking that the pastors will give due considera-
tion to this plan of Junior organization, and that we may have your hearty
co-operation and earnest prayers in our effort to train the children and
youth of the Church for the Master's service.
LITERATURE DEPARTMENT.
REPORT OF LEAFLET SECRETARY.
There has not been the advance in this department as in former years,
owing, no doubt, to the delay in publishing a new catalogue. The leaflets
have been carefully selected and we recommend their more general use. A
Prayer Calendar, ordered by the W. G. M. S., has been issued and sent
broadcast over the Church at great expense, but we believe large returns
will be the result in answer to the prayers that may be made because of the
suggestions of the Calendar. Seven thousand seven hundred and twenty-
eight leaflets have been sold, besides many helps for Senior and Junior
societies. Three thousand four hundred and fifty-nine leaflets have been
distributed free.
RETORT OF MAGAZINE COMMITTEE.
The publication of the Junior's Missionary Magazine has proved an
effort in the right direction and has been blessed in carrying missionary
information to the boys and girls in the Sabbath schools and Junior
societies. Subscribers generally express appreciation of its helpfulness,
and the regret is that so small a proportion of the children of our Church
are reading it. About 15,000 members are reported in the Junior societies,
while our subscription list is InU 5,717. At the small subscription price of
igoi.] Minutes of General Assembly. — Appendix. 333
15 cents per single copy or io_ cents when sent to one address in clubs of
ten or more, there is no reason why this little messenger of the coming of king-
dom should not be in the hands of every child in the Church. May we
not ask and expect the co-operation of every pastor and elder in securing
the interest of parents and Junior workers in the more general circulation
of our little Magazine? As stated last year the work was begun without
any pledged support except a subscription list of 2,000 names, and as the
list increased month by month we have been enabled to meet all expenses
and close both years with a balance in the treasury, a fact declared to be
impossible by friends who had some experience in publishing. We are
therefore pleased to append the following financial report in the hope that
it may commend itself to all. and be rewarded with a subscription list of
not less than 10,000 names, and so make it possible to enlarge our borders:

THANK-OFFERING DEPARTMENT.
The thank-ofTering work of the past twelve months has been characterized
with more than usual zeal and energy in all parts of the Church. Some con-
gregations have given their first thank-offering toward raising the special
Twentieth Century offering for missions. In different parts of the Church
societies report having doubled and trebled their offerings of last year, while
almost one hundred women have given liberal gifts over and above the box
offerings, to help meet the needs of the hour in the special mission work
assigned to the care of the women of the Church by our General Assembly.
The love of ihe women of the Church for the cause of missions has been
well tested during the past year, and the large thank-offering to be laid upon
God's altar at the Monmouth convention (after the indebtedness to the
Boards of the Church and the contributions to societies have been met)
will reveal the result in dollars and cents. The full value of these offerings
of gratitude to the giver, to the Church and to the cause of missions only
heaven's arithmetic can compute.
During the year 13,587 Scripture Responsive Verses were sold. The free
distribution of supplies is as follows :
5>395 Responsive Services.
48,500 Copies Thirteen Years' Review.
26,000 Copies Thank-offering Question Box Opened.
1.500 Leaflets on "Giving."
30,123 Thank-offering Envelopes.
50,700 Letters to Societies.
1.394 Regular Thank-offering Boxes.
48,075 Twentieth Century Boxes.
2,109 Junior Boxes.
XENIA BIBLE TRAINING SCHOOL.
We regret the Xenia Bible Training School has nothing to report, except
the "open door," and lack of acceptance of the opportunity gratuitously
offered to persons of our own and all other denominations for training in
mission work ; however, several ladies who may be called training school
pupils have attended the seminary lectures ; but the number did not reach
■'ten," the condition made by the Seminary Board to secure a regularly
organized training school. That such an inestimable opportunity for in-
struction— instruction so vital to the increasingly important cause of missions
at home and abroad, should find so few desiring to avail themselves of it,
is, to us, both a disappointment and a surprise.

FINANCE COMMITTEE.
The special work of this committee is to receive and investigate all
applications for donations and loans (except for parsonages), attend to the
investment of all special funds, place all surplus monies on deposit, and
collect all interest due.
Loans to needy home mission churches this year amounted to $21,469.13.
Loans are in every case made upon first bond and mortgage only, in-
terest paid quarterly or semi-annually as congregation may prefer, with
privilege of reducing loan at every interest-bearing period. Insurance
policies on building must have clause inserted as follows: — i. e., "All loss,
if any, to be first paid to Women's General Missionary Society, of the
United Presbyterian Church of North America, as its interest may appear."
Policies must al§o be sent to us for deposit, and must be renewed from time
to time while the loan remains unpaid. It is, of course, unnecessary to
add that all mortgages are made out in the charter name of the society.
All applications for such loans should be made through chairman of
finance committee. We have through this feature of our work, been enabled
to assist congregations in erecting church buildings at a time when it
would have been impossible without some such aid.
WOMEN'S MISSIONARY MAGAZINE.
The Women's Missionary Magazine, now in its fourteenth year, con-
tinues on its way with a satisfactory amount of success so far as man may
judge. In the way of increased subscriptions, its growth has been en-
couraging, an addition of 340 having been made to its mailing list during
the past year. Its circulation now is 5,365.
The Magazine is in excellent financial condition, being free from debt
It makes an effort to afford information to its readers chiefly about our
own church work abroad and at home; and secondarily about the mission-
ary efforts of other denominations. As it is expected to cover so wide
a territory in its literature, the Magazine sometimes feels a load of re-
sponsibility. But it can only do its best, leaving results with the Lord of
the harvest. It is intended, during the coming year, to follow the proposed
interdenominational scheme for united missionary study.
REPORT OF STATISTICAL SECRETARY.
The close of another year brings the annual report of the Women's
General Missionary Society. The reports from the presbyterial and con-
gregational societies encourage us to believe that the Lord has been mind-
ful of and blessed the work of the women of our Church. Report follows:

REPORT OF THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
With deep sorrow v^^e report the death of two members of the society
within the past year, namely. Rev. S. H. Graham and William Stevenson.
These brethren were well known throughout the Church and highly esteemed
as useful and godly men. We who were intimately associated with them for
many years loved and honored them in life, and now put on record this ex-
pression of our pleasant and profitable association with them. We also hereby
express our sincere sympathy with the families of these trusted friends and
brethren beloved.
Our records have been placed in the ample vault of the Allegheny Sem-
inary building. They have not as yet been completely arranged and cata-
logued, but it is our purpose to have this done as soon as may be possible.

We regret to say that but little has been accomplished since the organiza-
tion of the society in the matter of collecting the records of the Church, owing
to the fact that the society was composed of so many members that it was
difficult to get them to come together to attend to the business of the society,
and also because there seemed but little to do after what had been accom-
plished in former years.
We suggest to the Assembly that a committee or board, composed of a
smaller number of members, would be a more efficient agency in the manage-
ment of the work of the society than the present number.
It is with great satisfaction we report that the Cuthbertson Diary, which
for a time, it was feared, was lost, is now in the possession of the Theological
Seminary.

REPORT OF THE PERMANENT COMMITTEE ON
NARRATIVE AND STATE OF RELIGION.
Narrative.
Your Committee wishes, first of all, to make recognition of the fact that
since the last General Assembly met in the city of Chicago, the old century
has closed and a new century has dawned. In making this first report of
the new century we are glad to say that the Church is in a prosperous con-
dition. During the past year the Church has enlarged her work along various
lines, and in so doing has expanded her influence and increased her power.
From every quarter, north, south, east and west, come good reports. And
to-day the Church seems more devoted than ever to the great work of up-
lifting humanity.
Within the past year from the ranks of the ministry some faithful ones
have fallen. The mortuary list contains the names of 10 of our beloved breth-
ren, and it is as follows :

Average Age 67
From statistics carefully compiled and systematically arranged by the
Assembly's Second Clerk, some items of information have been gathered which
seem worthy of some special notice. In the number of synods and presby-
teries there has been no change. Last year two synods reported a decrease
in membership. This year there are three in this list. This decrease seems to
be caused chiefly by removals and cannot be considered as indicating any
serious loss to the Church. All the other synods show gains, ranging from
four-tenths of one per cent, in the synod of New York, to twelve and one-
igoi.] Minutes of General Assembly. — Appendix. 337
tenth per cent, in the synod of 'Columbia. The increase in the whole num-
ber of ministers during the year is 19. Last year the mcrease was 31. Last
year there was a decrease of 26 in the number of Hcentiates. This year there
was an increase of 12. Last year there were 320 ministers without cliarge.
This year there are 303. Although there has been some improvement here,
yet 303 ministers are far too many to be without charge in the United Pres-
byterian Church. Something should be done to remedy this great evil. Last
year the number of congregations was 996. This year 11 congregations have
been organized. Last year we had 821 pastoral charges. The present number
is 837, a gain of 16.
Last year the membership in America was 115,901. The present mem-
bership is 116,934, a g^iri of 1.033. Last year the membership in the whole
Church was 128,836. The present membership is 130,447, a gain of 1,611, or
about one per cent. Last year the number of scholars in the Sabbath school
was 116,091. This year the number is 120,032. a gain of 3,941. Last year the
contributions to the Boards were $282,202, this year $343,411, an increase of
$61,209. Last year the total contributions were $1,637,425, this year $1,751,291,
an increase of $114,866. Last year the average per member in America was
$14.06. This year it is $14.89, an increase of 83 cents. Last year the increase
was 67 cents. Our Sabbath schools and also our young people's societies show
great gains in membership and great improvement in benevolence.
State of Religion.
The best way, and the only way. to ascertain the state of religion, or the
spirituality and power of the Church, is to learn how faithfully and how well
the Church is accomplishing her divine mission. The Church is the pillar
and ground of the truth ; the preservation and the proclamation of the truth,
therefore, are the mission of the Church. How faithfully the Church is ful-
filling her mission may be learned in part from statistics, and in part from
other sources of information.
Is the Church faithful to the trust committed to her? Let her record for
the past year and the work she is still doing make answer. It is true that
even inside the Church there is some questioning, doubting and disputing of
Bible truth. But this is no new thing. In every age there has been in the
Church a doubting Thomas. Other years have witnessed similar attacks on
the Holy Book. But never before, perhaps, have these assaults been so bit-
ter and so determined. But as of old these assaults have all been in vgin.
The discussions may have weakened the faith of some, and caused some to
become indifferent to Bible truth. But the heat of the conflict is dying out.
The smoke of battle is clearing away. The attempt to overthrow the truth
has failed, and its assailants have met their Waterloo. The Bible triumphant
enters the new century — The Word of God. "The grass withereth, the flower
fadeth ; but the Word of our God shall stand forever."
It is true that there is a disposition in some parts of the vineyard ts
make changes in creeds and confessions. In some instances this is to be re-
gretted. But in others it is scarcely more than the lopping off of dead and
unfruitful branches, and is a fulfilling of Scripture, "Every branch that bring-
eth not forth fruit is taken away." It may be true that there are some preach-
ers who are not preaching the truth. But these are only the few. The great
majority of ministers in all evangelical denominations are faithfully preach-
ing the pure gospel of Jesus Christ. In the present-day preaching, sinners
are converted, saints arc edified and the glory of Christ promoted. It is true
that in many homes there is no family altar, and in many others it is in great
need of repair. But in many homes the Word of God is still read, and there
is morning and evening prayer. As of old, "The saint, the father and the
husband prays."
In membership, the Church is growing. This growth is such as to be
encouraging. "The Lord is still adding to the Church daily such as are
338 Minutes of General Assembly. — Appendix. [vol. x, no. 2,
being saved." The regular Sabbath service and the mid-week prayer meet-
ing are not so well attended as they should be. The time has not yet come
when men are flocking to the house of God as doves to the windows. But
in every part of the Church, large congregations assemble every Sabbath for
public service. In every city and town and in the country, great multitudes
are still faithfully waiting upon God in the observance of his ordinances.
The contributions for the past year have been liberal. Nineteen millions have
been contributed to advance the kingdom of Christ. Of this sum our own
Church has contributed a part, of which she need not be ashamed. But our
contributions, although liberal, are not what they should be. They are not
such as to indicate the devotion that would be most pleasing to the Master,
or secure for the giver the greatest reward. Worldiness, which is covetous-
ness and therefore idolatry, still obtains. There are many, even inside the
Church, who seem disposed to count the present world of controlling moment.
There are many who even set at nought the kingship of Christ, and worship
gods of silver and gold. But even here there is hope; "For the Word of God
is quick and powerful and will not return void."
In the business world the religion of Christ is controllSng men to as great
an extent as ever before. In the great reforms the Church is moving for-
ward. Aggressive assaults are being made on the kingdom of Satan. The
Church is insisting on the proper observance of the Sabbath. In the tem-
perance reform there is progress. The canteen has been driven from the army
as it had been from the navy. In the west a new star appeared and gave a
new impetus to this great reform. Everywhere new light is breaking forth.
In realms, social and political, moral and spiritual, there is onward movement.
Ignorance and prejudice and superstition are passing away. Tyranny is being
overthrown. The rights and the duties of the individual, the office and the
welfare of society, the largeness of the kingdom and the mission of the Church
are all better understood to-day than ever before. The fatherhood of God,
the botherhood of man, and the unity in Christ of all true Christians are,
with the new century, taking on a new meaning and a new power. God is
magnifying the witness of himself in every land. Great world movements are
sweeping onward. The indications are that the present century will be a
decisive one. The present state of religion is such as to inspire hope. The
present condition of the Church gives a bright outlook into the future. The
indications are such that we may pray, even now and in faith, that the king-
doms of this world may soon become the kingdoms of our Lord and of his
Christ; that the Church may soon go forward in all the beauty of divine and
all conquering love; that soon earth's song and heaven's symphony meeting
will unite in one triumphant song of praise, that will sound on and forever
in honor of him who is before all things and in whom all things consist.
"And blessed be his glorious name to all eternity,
The whole earth let his glory fill. Amen, so let it be."
Respectfully submitted,
J. S. Garvin, Chairman.
REPORT OF THE PERMANENT COMMITTEE ON
WAYS AND MEANS.
Your Committee on Ways and Means would report that there was sub-
mitted to it, by the Committee of last year, a constitution and by-laws, for
the use of congregations. Your Committee has examined the constitution and
by-laws and has made such amendments as in the judgment of the Committee
were deemed proper, and herewith submits a copy of the said constitution and
by-laws, as amended, and recommends the same for adoption.
1901.] Minutes 0/ General Assembly. — Appendix. 339
Your Committee, believing that a simple, and as near as may be, uniform
system of keeping the accounts of congregations, would be for the best finan-
cial interest of the Church, herewith submits sample pages of a Church Treas-
urer's Record and recommends its adoption.
Recognizing that the giving of our means as the Lord may prosper us
should be regarded as an act of worship essential to the highest Christian
growth, that the method observed is important, and that the amount given
should not be less than the tithe; your Committee, while not ready to recom-
mend the adoption of what is termed the "Covenant Plan of Tithing" as a
rule of the Church, believes that the plan is deserving of careful considera-
tion. At the request of the Committee, Mr. George W. Somers has published
an article in our Church papers explaining the plan.
While your Committee is of the opinion that the work of raising funds for
the boards of the Church, under existing conditions, is more especially the
work of our congregations, under the supervision of our financial agents, it
has published a short article in our Church papers, urging our people to give
of their means as the Lord may have prospered them.
It is the judgment of the Committee that, for the present, no better meas-
ures can be devised for raising the money necessary to support the general
work of the Church, than the measures heretofore approved by the General
Assembly. The recommendations in this report are intended as aids in the
execution of the approved measures.
The contributions for the regular mission work of the Church, during the
past year, have not been in proportion to the material prosperity of our people,
but your Committee is inclined to believe that the cause has not been so much
the fault of the measures, as in the execution of the measures.
A closer walk with Jesus will increase our interest in his cause, will
enable us to live upon a higher spiritual plane, and we will find a greater
pleasure in giving. The Spirit of God will give us a truer loyalty to our
Church and we will regard the appropriations made by the Church as the
work of the Lord. The Christian conscience cannot well be at ease, until the
amounts necessary for the regular work of the Church have been paid as fully
and as promptly as an honest business man pays his debts.
This Committee regrets to record the loss to the Church in the death of
Mr. W. J. Sawyer, which occurred December 12, 1900. Mr. Sawyer had been
connected with the Ways and Means Committee since its origin, and was re-
garded as one of its most efficient members. In council he was wise, in
methods he was suggestive, as a member he was faithful. As a man he was
honest and sincere, as a friend he was constant and firm, as a Christian he was
conscientious and true. In the enterprise of raising the Quarter Centennial
Fund his business habits and enthusiasm had no little part in the success of
the movement, which has meant so much to the boards of the Church and her
educational institutions. With regret this Committee has felt his absence dur-
ing this year, and wishes to leave on record this token of appreciation of his
services to the Church. Respectfully sumbitted,

REPORT OF THE GENERAL COMMITTEE ON
YOUNG PEOPLE'S WORK.
Our report consists of statistics and suggestions. We trust the latter will
not be presumptuous and the former not tiresome, as they certainly are not
discouraging.
I. The Statistics are as folloivs: Senior societies reported, 777. Of these
618 are under the Christian Union constitution, and 159 arc Christian En-
deavor organizations. The membership is 31.601. The total amount con-
tributed was $45,002; $13,743 were given through the boards of the Church,
or about $1,200 less than one-third the entire sum. Tithers reported, 4.492,
and 229 tithe committees. Among the juniors, 419 societies are reported, 289
of them being Junior Christian Unions and 130 of them Junior Missionary
Societies. The membership of the Unions is 10,351, and their contributions
$5-975- The membership of the Missionary Societies is 6,517 and their con-
tributions $3,687.
In connection with these figures, this item of interest merits special men-
tion. For the first time we are able to give reports from both Egypt and
India. In the synod of the Nile, there are eight Christian Union Societies
and four Christian Endeavor Societies, with a total membership of 781 ; four
Junior Unions with 116 members and three Junior Missionary Societies with
331 members. The Seniors, 34 of whom are tithers, contributed $159, and the
Juniors $38. The synod of the Punjab reports four Christian Union and two
Christian Endeavor Societies, with a total membership of 104, and three Junior
Unions with 89 members. The Seniors. 18 of whom practice tithing, con-
tributed $16.
These figures do not represent thoroughly the condition of our young
people's work. For the statistics are far from complete, and in very many
instances they are quite fragmentary in what they are supposed to give. This
year, reports were received from every presbytery save one. the presbytery of
Spokane. After repeated letters and a telegram, the man supposed to be the
secretary of the Christian Union for that presbytery replied that he did not
know he had anything to do with it, and .so could furnish no data. But
out of the 60 other presbyteries reporting, only 19 gave returns from every
.society. So that in one presbytery all of the societies, and in 41 presbyteries
very many of the societies have no credit whatever. But notwithstanding this,
which however is annoying and apparently inexcusable, progress has been
made in every particular except two. and for one of these losses there is a
reasonable excuse. The contributions for this year are less than last year's
by $5,424. But you will remember that last year's report had the benefit of the
special enthusiasm generated by the Tenth Anniversary Offering at the Pitts-
burgh convention. During the year, there has been a gain of 47 societies and
840 members among the Seniors: and among the Juniors, a gain of 27 societies
and 1.762 members.

The presbyterial conventions have been quite up to their usual standard.
Some of the presbyterial secretaries speak of them as follows: "Increased
interest," "Large attendance," "'Outlook of aggressive work excellent," "More
interest shown than ever before." "Splendid meetings," etc. I have multi-
plied these quotations, and I might easily have given mere, with a purpose.
Your Committee has no sympathy with, nor endorsement of the idea that
young people's work is on the wane. The facts do not warrant even the sug-
gestion of the charge, much less the serious entertaining of it. Still, we have
not yet attained nor are we already perfect. For 221 congregations report
no senior society, and 578 have no organization among the juniors.
II. These are Our Suggestions: First, At our last meeting in Warsaw,
Indiana, this action was taken : "The General Committee on Young People's
Work would respectfully request the General Assembly that Mr. E. B. Mc-
Kown. who has acted as chairman since the withdrawal of Rev. R. G. Ramsay,
be continued to fill regularly his own term of office the coming year."
Second. At the same meeting this was acted upon : "The minutes of the
Denver concention contain the following recommendation, viz. : 'After con-
siderable discussion the General Committee*was directed to take the necessary
steps to change our motto to, 'God; Whose I am and Whom I serve.' Not-
withstanding this action and with all due respect to it. it Is the sense of this
Committee that the proposed change is not needed, and the General Secretary
is hereby instructed to incorporate this action in his report to the General
Assembly."
Third. The General Secretary was instructed to correspond with George
B. Graff, agent of the United Society of Christian Endeavor, and ask for our
societies, where desired, the right to have their prayer meeting topics printed
locally. These topics are selected and copyrighted by the United Society of
Christian Endeavor, and Mr. Graff's reply was that such privilege would
always be granted, provided each society, so desiring, would write for per-
mission to have its own printing done, i'our Committee would suggest that
a copyright is a copyright, and that we have neither legal nor moral defense
for disregarding it. and that both law and Christian comity ought to be re-
spected more in this regard.
Fourth, The thirteenth annual convention of the Young People's Christian
Union is to be held at Winona Lake. Indiana. July 24-28. 1901. The program
is being arranged with the one idea prominent — a spiritual quickening and
uplift. And you, as ministers and laymen, may contribute largely either to
the achievement of this result, or to a disappointment by your attitude towards
the convention. Respectfully submitted.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS OF THE ALLE-
GHENY THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY.
The work of another prosperous year of this institution has been com-
pleted. The professors have all been in their places throughout the j'car, and
the health of the students has been generally good. There was an invasion
of scarlet fever which gave great alarm, but happily only two mild cases ap-
peared.
The number of students enrolled has been 74. being nine more than last
year. These have been classified as follows: In the senior class. 23; in the
middle class, 30; in the junior class, 21.
The faculty continues, as per our last report, as follows: James A. Grier,
D.D.. LL.D., professor of Didactic and Polemic Theology, temporary profes-
sor of Homiletics, and president of the faculty; D. A. McClenahan, D.D.. pro-
fessor of Old Testament Literature and Criticism, and secretary of the fac-
ulty; John McNaugher, D.D., professor of New Testament Literature and
Criticism and registrar of the facSty; J. A. Wilson, D.D., professor of Ec-
clesiastical History and Church Government, temporary professor of Pastoral
Theology, and librarian.
The curriculum established by the Assembly has been pursued, including
Christian missions and experimental religion. A course of lectures on Sab-
bath school work was given the past year by men especially qualified on the
subject. This has been very helpful to the students.
The board is able to report to the Assembly that the work of both faculty
and students has been thoroughly done, and men are being sent out to fill the
sacred office of the ministry well equipped for their work.
Respectfully submitted,
J. C. Wilson. President.

REPORT OF THE MANAGERS OF THE XENIA
THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY.
In presenting our report, we desire to make mention of the grace and
goodness of our covenant God, vouchsafed to us as a board and seminary,
during the past year.
1. In that, during the session that has just closed, we have been permit-
ted to install in the chair of Systematic Theology in connection with that of
Church History, a v.orthy successor to the worthy Prof. James Harper, D.D.,
resigned, in the person of Prof. Joseph Kyle, D.D. It is a matter for con-
gratulation to the Church at large, that the synods in charge have shown such
unmistakable wisdom in this matter. The departments, once more, are all
equipped with loyal and devout men.
2. The lives of both professors and students have been precious in God's
sight. No interruption has been permitted to occur on account of sickness,
serious enough to prevent the faithful carrying out of the curriculum as set
for the class-room v.ork, so that the entire course for the year has been gone
over. Besides the regular class work, several addresses have been delivered to
the students by visiting brethren under the auspices of the Students' Mission-
ary Association on themes relating to the work of the ministry.
3. The spiritual status of the seminary is most gratifying, as indicated
by devotion to duty, and appreciation of privileges ox\ the part of students and
professors, manifesting themselves in the spirit of harmony and self-dedica-
tion, found also in the fact that in ten years a higher general average in
I90I.] Minutes of General Assembly. — Appendix. 347
grades, in recitations and final examinations, has not been attained, the min-
imum grade being 92 per cent., the maximum 97.9 per cent.
4. Tlie board is desirous of devising hberal things for the physical and
spiritual welfare of the young men who arc seeking a safe, and a com-
paratively inexpensive, preparation lor the great work of the gospel ministry.
To the steam heating jilant has been added electric light, by way of making
the building comfortable and cheerful : and the finance committee has been
instructed to fit up bath rooms, during the siunmer vacation. The board has
also taken steps to arrange for an extended course of lectures to the students
during the year, to be delivered by well-known and able instructors.
5. To the general endowment fund there has been added through gifts of
generous hearts and hands, the sum of $20,000. The number of students in
the third year class, who have received their graduating diplomas, is seven.
Though the number graduating this year is not so large as last, yet we fee!
sure that the Church has received an ample compensation in that both the
students and her ministry are richer "in grace and in the knowledge of our
Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ." "How should one chase a thousand, and two
put ten thousand to flight?" "It is not by might, nor by power, but by my
Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts."
Respectfully submitted, by order of the Board.

REPORT ON THE FIFTEENTH ARTICLE OF THE
TESTIMONY.
After carefully considering the matter submitted to us by the last General
Assembly your Committee would respectfully report :
It does not appear that there exists in the Church .such a demand for a
change in our Testimony against secret societies, as would justify the sending
down in overture the Article under consideration. It does, however, appear
that the rule is variously construed, and that there are dilterences of admin-
istration. L'niformity in this particular has been rendered more difficult by
the multiplication of various secret orders, with a great diversity of objects
in view. Some sessions have construed the law as mandatory and conse-
quently requiring the exclusion of members of secret orders of every kind
from membersiiip in the Church, irrespective of the special object which they
may seek to promote, or the spirit and the attitude of the applicant for mem-
bership in the Church. Others have regarded the law as advisory in charac-
ter, and not necessarily excluding f i om membership in certain societies. In
some cases sessions have recognized the |)rinciple that there may be exceptions
to all rules and have used discretion in individual cases, while others have
not felt free to exercise any discretion in the premises.
We reconmiend the following for your adoption:
Resolved. That while .'Vrticle XV. of our Testimony defines in a manner
sufficiently explicit the general law of our Church on the subject of secretism.
sessions possess and are expected to e.xercise a wise discretion in the admin-
istration of the law, dealing with such casts as may arise upon tiieir merits,
and in such a way as may best promote God's glory and the peace and pros-
perity of the Church.
Inasmuch as the "formula" <»f questions for the admission of members
was referred to tiiis Committee by the reference of the report of the com-
mittee to the last Assembly, and inasmuch as there are certain inaccuracies
in the order of these questions, such as adherence to the distinctive doctrines
of the Church taking precedence to profession of faith in Christ, we would
recommend that such action be taken as may be necessary for the amendment
of Sec. \T. Chap. 2 of the General Administration to rend as follows:
348 Mitiiites of Getural Assembly. — Appetidix. [vol. x, no. 2,
1. Do you believe the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be
the Word of God, the infallible and only rule of faith and practice ?
2. Do you profess your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; your acceptance
of him as vour Saviour, and vour resolution through grace to continue in the
faith?
3. Do you accept the doctrines, government and worship of this Church
as agreeable to and founded on the Word of God, so far as you have been
enabled to understand them, and do you profess your willingness to be in-
structed in them?
4. Do you promise to be subject to the order and discipline of God's
house; to be diligent in your attendance upon divine ordinances, both teach-
ing and sealing; faithful in the study of God's Word and in devotion to pri-
vate and family religion ; to avoid every form ot* worldiness as detrimental
to your spiritual growth?
5. Do you engage to seek the peace, purity and prosperity of this con-
gregation vvhile you remain a member thereof, to give it your active service,
3'our financial support as God may prosper you, and the influence of a godly
life?
6. Do you make this profession as in the presence of God, in reliance on
his grace, and as you desire to give in your account with joy at the great d.ny?

REPORT ON THE LIMITATION OF APPEALS IN
CASES OF DISCIPLINE.
The Committee appointed by the last General Assembly "to consider such
changes as may be necessary in our Book of Government and Discipline, in
the limitation of the synod as the last court of appeal or complaint in all mat-
ters of discipline not affecting the doctrines of the Church," respectfully sub-
mits the following report :
The Book of Government and Discipline is constructed on the principle
of the right of appeal to the highest court in every case. It would, therefore,
seem to be desirable that all parts of the Book relating in any way to the
powers of the courts, the right of appeal and the processes to be followed,
should be rewritten; but, on the principle that all subordinate regulations are
to be interpreted in accordance with a clearly defined statement of law or reg-
ulation setting forth a general course to be followed, a few changes may be
sufficient to affect the object in view, and limit appeals in cases of discipline to
the synod. The following changes are, therefore, recommended :
1. Amend Part I, Chapter V. Article IV, by striking out Section 4, which
authorizes the General Assembly to refer appeals in cases of discipline to a
commission.
2. Amend Part III. Chapter XII, Section 2, which treats of "the ways in
which a case may be carried from a lower to a higher court," so as to read :
"Every decision in any court, except the highest having jurisdiction, is sub-
ject to the review of a superior court."
3. Amend Section i, of Article II, of the same Chapter, to read as fol-
lows: "A reference is a judicial representation made by an inferior court to
a superior court having jurisdiction, of a matter, not yet decided."
4. Amend Article II of the same Chapter, by inserting the following as
Section 2: "In cases of discipline, an appeal or complaint may be made to the
1901.] Minutes of General Assembly. — Appendix. 349
synod as the court of final jurisdiction, but an appeal or complaint concerning
doctrines, general regulations, the interpretation of law, or the regularity of
proceedings, may be made direct from the presbytery or synod to the General
Assembly, whose judgment shall be for the guidance of the lower courts.
Such appeal or complaint shall always be made in writing-, and shall contain
a clear statement of the issue involved. The General Assembly shall enter
upon its records the appeal as presented from the lower court, a clear state-
ment of its own decision, and the grounds upon sthich it is made."
Respectfully submitted,

REPORT ON UNEMPLOYED MINISTERS AND
VACANT CONGREGATIONS.
Your Committee, to which was referred the matter, by the last Assembly.
of some remodeling of our plans for securing appointments for unemployed
ministers and the supply of vacant congregations, beg leave to present the
following report : '
In answer to several memorials presented to the last Assembly, in which
certain defects in our home mission system were complainca of, your Com-
mittee was appointed to report to this Assembly some method by which the
irregularities and ineriuities of the present plan might be^ removed, or a new
plan proposed. The problem, given to us for solution, seemed to our minds
so perplexing and difficult, that we were at a loss to find any plan which would
vary in any considerable degree from that at present in operation, unless we
should depart from our whole Presbyterian order of the settled pastorate, and
adopt some form of episcopacy, which would place the power of appointing
all ministers to their respective fields for a definite period in the hands of the
synods or some central committee, under the direction of the General Assembly.
This plan contemplates the removal arbitrarily, after a period of from one
to five years, of every minister, and assigning him to another field. Such an
arrangement would remove from the people the right to chose their own min-
isters; a right which has been jealously guarded by our forefathers, and cher-
ished by our Church in every age, as a part of the liberty which we have in
Christ; and it would further be a radical departm-e from the established order
under our Presbyterian system of a fixed pastorate, only to be dissolved by the
consent of the parties. .Any such change seemed to your Committee too rad-
ical and revolutionary to be acceptable to our Church, and whether the de-
sired relief would be thereby secured .seems to your Committee very ques-
tionable.
It is a well known fact that under a system such as this, the Methodist
Episcopal Church, which has such a splendid record, and such great mission-
ary spirit, which used to boast that it had a place for every minister and a
minister for every place, now has its best pulpits filled with ministers, who
have been virtually called to the place before the bishop or conference has
passed upon the matter, and all that is left for them to do is to ratify the
choice or call of the local church for the man they want; while a long list of
supernumeraries and local preachers, terms often covering inefficiency and un-
acceptability, and of poorly supplied churches, only repeats the complaints
so often heard against the plan which obtains among us. The complaints
about "favoritism." "clicks" and "wire-pulling" to secure desirable appoint-
ments, and the consequent jealousies, heart-burnings and bitterness, which
are often heard of from these sources, indicate that the severe arraignment
350 Alinutes of General Assembly. — Appendix. [vol. x, no. 2,
of "shameful system." ''lawless procedure," "a disgrace to the Church." "humil-
iating to the Christian ministry," etc.. sometimes heard among us. are not
peculiar to our system, but are hurled with vehemence against the Episcopal
form of government, by those who grow dissatisfied with it.
Your Committee, in its perplexity as it wrestled with the probletn, turned
to other brethren in the Church, to learn what might in their judgment, and
in the light of their experience, be a better method, than the one now operat-
ing. A circular letter was sent out to one hundred representative ministers
and laj-men, chieH\' to ministers, asking their opinion on the matters presented
in the following questions. Replies came to sixty of them, almost all of them
from ministers, and we give the result.
First question : — "Is the present method of appomtment for ministers and
the supply of vacancies satisfactory, or the best which can be successfully car-
ried out?" To this question there were twentj^ who answered in the affirma-
tive, thirty in the negative, and ten non-committal. Among the comments on
the affirmative were, "Less complaint now than formerly," "Gives every one
a chance on his own merits," "Gives more liberty of choice to the men and
the congregations," "Not faultless, but the best available," "Not satisfactory
to all. but you will not llnd a plan to suit all " On the negative side, "Too
much Congregationalism," "Works well for large men and congregations, but
poorly for little ones." "Not worthy of the name, method," "Difficult to get
men in remote fields," "Older men do not get a hearing."
Second question: — "Would a return to a system similar to that formerly
employed, of having the General Committee of Missions distribute the men be
an advisable method?" Answers: affirmative, fifteen; negative, thirty-five;
non-committal, ten. Comments for. "As good as any that can be devised,"
"Better than the present method," "It was more successful in securing regular
employment for men," "Commended by many in the Presbyterian Church,"
"Our vacancies were better cared for then;" against, "We have outgrown it,"
"Many men would not submit their names," "Presbyteries got supplies else-
where." "Wholly impracticable," "Church too large now for such a system,"
"Men sought their own appointments, and congregations their own supplies."
Third question : — "Would a more thorough oversight of the appointments
by the presbyteries, and more presbyterial authority in the matter remedy the
evils complained of?" Affirmative, forty; negative, five; non-committal,
fifteen. Comments, "Would help," "We are drifting into Congregationalism,"
"Do more to solve the problem than anything else," "Certainly," "Congrega-
tions should be trained to listen to the voice of the presbytery." "We need to
get dozvn, or rather up, to presbyterial authority," "As a penalty where men
will not go to needy fields, withhold all appointments," "Yes, if backed by the
General Assembly and the ministry generally," "Men who resign should report
their names at once to the home mission secretary, and he send these names
monthly to superintendents of missions," "Does not reach the case of provid-
ing for the unemployed," "A consummation devoutly to be wished," "Yes,,
if presbyteries will deal with obsteperous men as well as with obsteperous
congregations." "Congregations want better men than they can get; men
want better places than they can hold; presbytery would be a better judge as
to what would be a good fit." "An S. M. with grit, get-up. grace and gumption
about him, and who magnifies the pre.sbyterial authority beTiInd him, the best
remedy," "Would not remedy all evils, for complaint's will probably be heard
as long as men are deficient in spiritual power and ministerial efficiency,"
"Better get back to presbyterial oversight, than adopt some plan which leads
away from it."
Fourth question: — "Have you any other plan or method to suggest that
might aid in solving this difficult problem?" Affirmative, thirteen: negative,
forty. Comments, "Men might be distributed by a small committee, or sub-
committee of one from each synod in connection with the work of the General
Committee of Missions, This would be worth five vears' trial." "Get the best
I go t . ] Mi?intes of General Assembly. —Appendix. 3 5 1
possible man for S. M.. and hold him responsible," '"Congregations may ask
for certain men of the S. M.. but let him arrange the dates and make the
appointment," "The Church should have greater care in admitting men to
the ministrj^ INIinisters who are incapacitated for elifective service should be
encouraged to go on an honorably retired or superannuated list," "We should
have more money for home missions and give employment to more men."
"Restrain settled ministers from running after every good vacancy which
occurs," "Supply home mission congregations by the home board, others by
the presbytery," '"Put all the authority in the hands of the secretary of the
home board, and let hmi have absolute control of all vacancies and all the
men," 'Less self-seeking and more of the spirit of Christ," "A form of sus-
tentjition by which congregations may be formed into pastoral charges, and a
salary of not less than $800 be provided for each charge." "Work the plan we
have." A father in the Church says. "My experience is that any minister of
respectable ability and approved piety can always find work in our Church, if
he will go to places where he is needed. I do not think any great number of
ministers are suffering injustice under the present system, or that there is
any other system which would not be exposed to similar evils." "More men
ready to obey the call which comes to them, fewer men -fooking after good
settlements." "Recognition of the fact that some men are no longer efficient
and acceptable." Others suggest some form of Episcopacy, in which some
central board, under the direction of the several synods or the General Assem-
bly, shall have control of all ministers and all congregations. All appoint-
ments made for one year, subject to renewal year by year up to five years,
but no minister to be continued more than five years in one place. Much as
we respect the opinions, and appreciate the love for our Zion of the brethren,
who advocate this form of modified Episcopacy, we regard it as too wide a
departure from historic Presbyterianism. and too radical, not to say drastic.
in its operations, to be acceptable to our Church. ]\Iuch as we deplore the
diflriculties which beset our present method, we believe this one would give
rise to endless complaints and dissatisfaction. W^e believe that the provisions
of the Presbyterian form of Church Government, which is not only scriptural,
but a golden mean between the looseness of independency, and the rigidity
of Episcopacy, is adequate to meet the situation, and properly care for all the
interests of the Church. These considerations,
"Make us rather bear those ills we have.
Than fly to others that we know not of,"
If men. as they appear in the pulpit to feed the flock of God do not impress
themselves as suitable guides for the flock so as to receive a call, there is little
to hope for in the way of useful pastorates, when these mim'sters are thrust
upon the people by some appointing power, and are not the free choice of the
people. We believe the most careful, judicious mind of the Church to be. not
a new system for vacancy and supply, but more of the spirit of Christ, in fol-
lowing out the arrangemeiUs we already have, and which may be amended
from time to time to suit changing conditions. The plan to have the former
system of distributing men by the General Committee, while having much
merit, broke down under the spirit of Congregationalism, in which many min-
isters and congregation made their own arrangements for preaching, by
methods wholly aside from the provisions of the presbytery and the (ieneral
Assembly, and hence it was set aside. A committee was appointed by the
Assembly of 1897. to devise some different plan. That committee, after care-
ful deliberation, proposed a plan to the General Assembly of 1898, providing
for a committee, composed of one minister from each synod, which should
meet twice each year to distribute ministers desiring employment, to the dif-
ferent presbyteries. This rev^ort. which removed many of the objections to
'the former system, and seemed to afford relief from the evils complained of,
352 Minutes of Ge?iera I Assembly, — Appendix. [voi<. x, no. 2^
was laid upon the table of the Assembly, where it still remains. (See Minutes
of 1898. Report on page 624, and action taken, page 508.) This seemed to
dispose of the idea that the Church wants the distribution of men to the dif-
ferent presbyteries by any committee, whether large or small.
As these methods are not acceptable to the Church, is it not a time for
the General Assembly and the presbyteries to rally to a more careful ob-
servance of the Presbyterian system in caring for our vacancies and unem-
ployed ministers? We all lament the decay of the power of the presbytery,
and no one is to blame for this, so much as the presbyteries themselves. If
the presbytery fails to exercise its divinely given authority and magnify its
high calling, its influence will speedily fall into contempt. Nothing so soon
tmdermines authority, as to allow its requirements to be trifled with, anji its
rulings to be trampled upon. We believe a judicious and firm application of
the authority of the presbytery will remedy nearly all of the irregularities and
inequalities complained of.
One prominent complaint is that we have no order in providing for va-
cancy and supply, and that ministers and congregations are a law unto them-
selves. Our Presbyterian system supposes that a vacant congregation is
under the care of the presbytery. In other words, the presbytery is the pro
tempore pastor of pastorless congregations, and is to have the supply of the
pulpit, and all arrangements for securing a pastor under its direction, until
a settlement is affected. There may be at times some restiveness under the
method of each congregation receiving its supplies through the presbytery,
but these are exceptional cases. Usually by due consideration of the rights,
both of the congregation and presbytery, these matters may be adjusted sat-
isfactorily. Indeed the complaints about our present system have not pro-
ceeded from the congregations, but from the ministry themselves, and when
made, these resolve themselves into about two grievances ; first, that the minis-
try is overcrowded, and that the Church should regulate the matter of the
increase of the ministry, so that men already in the office may not be dis-
placed or crowded out; and second, that to seek appointments through the-
superintendents of missions, is belittling and repugnant to a self-respecting
minister. As co the first of these objections, it is probably overestimated. It
]s true that presbyteries are sometimes a little weak in "admitting men into
the ministry, who may be over anxious to get into the pulpit, or whose friends
may be very persistent in crowding them in.
Instances of failure in the ministry can often be traced to this over-per-
sistency. A great kindness would have been done to these persons, if pres-
byteries had kindly but firmly said, "We do not think that this person has
the gifts and qualifications calculated to give success in the ministry, and
that his services, in some other calling than the ministry, would seem'
to give promise of greater usefulness to the Church." Many a good far-
mer, physician, or teacher, has been spoiled when certain men have crowded
into the ministry only to be disappointed in the after years, and cry out against
the Church tiiat they have not been fairly treated.
Presbyteries should carefully guard the door to the ministerial ofifice, sO'
that over-anxious persons, without the necessary gifts and qualifications, may
not thrust themselves into the ministry. But is the ministry overcrowded ?
We sometimes think so when we hear it announced that 320, or nearly one-
third of the entire ministry of our Church, are without charges, and only 187
congregations to be supplied. But a careful analysis of this list shows that,
of these ministers, 34 are editors, professors in seminaries or colleges, or
secretaries of boards, and cannot enter the pastorate, as their time is taken
up serving the Church in other lines ; 34 are agents or lecturers, or engaged'
in other business, which would prevent their entering upon the pastoral office.
Then 64 are disqualified by some sickness or some complication, which hin-
ders them from the pastorate ; 66 arc infirm by reason of years and long ser-
vice; 2)2> 'ire missionaries in foreign lands; five are engaged in special lines ofe
I90I.] Minutes of Getural Assembly.— Appendix. 355
religious work, apart from the pastoral office. During the year, at least, seven
have died, and 15 have accepted charges. This would leave but 60. who are able
and willing to undertake the active work of the ministry in the pastoral office,
to supply something like 187 congregations. Is the ministry overcrowded?
During the past year, we know that many superintendents of missions have
found it difficult to find men for needy fields. It is not so hard t© find men
for nice-feathered nests, but to find men willing to take up hard fields, and
make something of them, is a difficult matter.
As to the objection that men have to ask for appointments at the hand
of superintendents of missions, we hope this is not a serious objection with
many. It is simply coming into the line where the Lord of the vineyard may
find laborers to send them forth. This is not seeking employment from congre-
gations, but coming forward to offer one's services, through the properly con-
stituted authorities, to the Church. If any one's zeal for saving souls and
building up the Church of Jesus Christ is overshadowed by such extreme
delicacy, it should be overcome. The Church wants men. must have them.
Will not these brethren help solve this hard problem, by placing themselves
in the hands of the superintendents of missions, that they may be available for
appointments?
Unlicensed students should not be allowed to assume the right to supply
vacancies. This is often done to the supplanting of both ordained ministers
and licentiates, and has grown to be a scandal upon our theological seminaries
and our Presbyterian system which places honor upon the ordained ministry.
If law and order in the Church means anything, if protecting the rights
of our unemployed ministers means anything, presbyteries should be in-
structed to lay hands on this great and growing evil and suppress it. For
3'oung men who need financial help in entering the ministry, the Church out
of its own beneficence provides funds for their assistance, that they may
give themselves wholly to their studies, and the temptation to break over the
safeguards of law may be removed.
JMinisters, who are already settled over congregations, have given occasion
for much complaint by the way in which they seek a hearing in congregations
supposedly better than their own. When a charge paying a good salary be-
comes vacant, many settled ministers in hope of bettering their condition
besiege by letter by their "next friend" for a hearing to the supplanting of
worthy and deserving brethren, who are without charge, frequently with
families to support, who are dependent upon them for some such
income. This policy, which sets aside those who are regularly in the field
as supplies, works serious injury to these brethren, and who can blame them'
if they cry out loudly against such intrusion upon their rights? Your Com-
mittee would recommend for adoption, the following resolutions :
1. That each presbytery be instructed to hold a conference at an early
date upon the authority and rights of the presbytery and how these are to be
maintained in the matter of vacancy and supply.
2. That the Board of Home Missions, through its corresponding sec-
retary, be constituted a bureau of information, and that on request he furnish
each superintendent of missions, at the first of each month, the names an<T
addresses of ministers and licentiates who are able and willing to fill pas-
torates.
3. That each minister who becomes unemployed, and each licentiate on
his licensure, be instructed to communicate his name to the Home Mission
Board, for their use in informing the superintendents of missions.
4. That presbyteries be instructed to choose the best possible man for the
oflfice of superintendent of missions, and that he, as chairman of the
committee on supplies, be charged by the presbytery with the duty of caring
for the vacant congregations, and to hold congregations and ministers to the
rule, that appoiiUmcnts in each pulpit be made only through this officer of
the presbytery.
J 54 Minutes o/ General Assembly. — Appendix. ' [vol. x, no. 2,
5. That the attention of the presbyteries be called to the rule, and that
they be instructed carefully to enforce it. that only licentiates or ordained
ministers are to receive appointments in vacant pulpits.
6. That in case of a protracted vacancy, the presbytery shall have the
right, after one year of vacancy, to place in such pulpit a supply for three
months or longer, as may seem expedient, with a view to secure prompt settle-
ment of vacancies. Respectfully submitted,

REPORT ON A BOOK OF INSTRUCTION FOR
JUNIORS.
The committee, appointed by the last General Assembly to prepare a
book of instruction to cover the three-fold field of Bible study, missions,
and Church history, for the use of our junior societies, would respectfully
report as follows :
R. J. Miller, D.D.. was prevailed upon to undertake the authorship of
such a book. Rev. J. O. Ashenhurst kindly furnished blackboard helps, and
Rev. J. A. Cosby gave some helpful suggestions for memorizing Scripture
and for prayer. The work grew to be of larger proportions than was at
first anticipated, and in order to make a smaller book for use, as well as to
get out a portion of it more promptly, it was decided to publish it in two
parts.
Part I. was issued by the Board of Publication about January i. and
consists of 24 lessons for children in Old Testament study. Part II., which
will cover New Testament study, with Church history, and twelve lessons
on the subject of missions, will probably be issued early after the return of
Rev. Dr. Miller from Europe.
From the annual statistical reports concerning junior work it is learned
that a very large number of our junior societies have introduced the book.
The high praise accorded it wherever used, seems universal. There is one
criticism, and only one. which has been urged with the committee, and that
is in reference to the cost of the book. It has sold at the rate of 25 cents
per single copy, or 15 cents in lots of ten or more copies. This has been
against its more universal introduction, and has led to its being used by the
superintendents alone, in many instances, instead of its being taken by the
societies for distribution among the children. Your committee would rec-
ommend:
1. That the book be furnished to our juniors for 10 cents per copy, in
lots of ten or more.
2. That this little book, so carefully prepared by the editor of our chil-
dren's literature receive the earnest consideration and hearty patronage of
our junior workers.
J. F. J.wiiESON, Chairman.
REPORT ON REFORM.
Besides her duty of giving the gospel to every creature, the Churcli of
Christ has the work of doing good as she has opportunity to all men. It
is under this department that she is the originator and promoter of public
reforms. As the divinely commissioned benefactor of the human race, it
is the work of the Church of Christ to oppose, and, as far as possible, erad-

icate the vices and sins that corrupt society and bring upon its individual
members temporal misery, moral degradation and eternal ruin. The legal-
ized liquor traffic, the profanation of the holy Sabbath, licentiousness legal-
ized in laws of marriage and divorce, and prevailing lawlessly in literature,
harmonized in nearly every conclusion. The aim was, first. To find out and
plays and prostitution, the gambling spirit, invading the parlors of society,
entangling the young and unwary in its innumerable cabals and conspiracies,
and with all this such a low state of civic virtue that the solemn oath of
civil officers gives no security for the performance of their duties, the
Church, as the reprover of sin and the conservator of public righteousness,
has call to the most energetic and effective performance of her function.
It is not enough that the representatives of the Church in the Church
courts should appeal to the representatives of the people in legislatures and
execeutive offices. A more direct appeal to the people themselves must be
made. To give this stronger influence and wider effect, the appeal should
be not denominational, but general. If the supreme courts of all or of
many of the Christian bodies could be combined in a testimony against pre-
vailing vices and an earnest appeal for needed reforms, their testimony and
appeal would come with greater power and would influence a much larger
constituency. It will be good for followers of the Son of God. who was
manifested to destroy the works of the Devil, to move together under their
one Leader, and will be an evidence to the world that the Father hath sent
him.
We therefore recommend that the Assembly appoint a Committee on
Reform for the coming year; that it direct the Committee to meet and or-
ganize early in the year, and to proceed at once to open correspondence
with committees or representatives of as many Churches as possible; and
that, securing such co-operation for the present and preparing the way for
it in the future, the Committee be authorized, in the name of the General
Assembly, to act as its agent in seeking to secure needed reforms, and in
preventing all efforts to legalize and popularize prevailing vices. XVe also
recommend to our people the discriminating support of all Christian reforms
in civil and social life.

REPORT OF THE GENERAL COMMITTEE ON RE-
VISION OF THE METRICAL PSALMS. .
The Joint Committee of American and Canadian Churches on the Re-
vision of the Metrical Version of the Psalms met in the First Presbyterian
church. Asbury Park, N. J., from September i8th to the 27th, 1900, and in
the board room of the Presbyterian Board of Publication and Sabbath
School Work, Philadelphia, from April 24th to May 7th, 1901. holding a ses-
sion of three or four hours each forenoon and each afternoon (excepting
Saturdays), and two extra evening sessions. There were present representa-
tives from the following Churches: (i) Presbyterian Church (North), (2)
Canadian Presbyterian Church. (3) United Presbyterian Church. (4) Re-
formed Church in America. (5) Christian Reformed Church. (6) Reformed
Presbyterian Church (Synod). (7) Reformed Presbyterian Church (General
Synod). (8) Associate Presbyterian Church. At Philadelphia the Commit-
tee noted with sorrow the recent removal by death of one of their number,
who took a deep interest in the work, namely, Rev. Dr. John T. Duffield,
of Princeton.
At the meeting held in New York, in April, 1900. the first nine Psalms
were revised; at the meeting in Asbury Park the revision was carried as far
35^ Minutes of General Assembly. — Appendix. [vol. x, no. 2,
as Psalm 34, and at the meeting in Philadelphia it extended to Psalm 72. A
careful examination was also made of the next book (^Psalms 7^ to 89), for
the purpose of selecting for each Psalm the best version available, which
versions will be thoroughly revised at the next meeting of the Committee.
While the Scottish version of the Psalter was adopted as a basis for revision,
jet in the case of not a few Psalms other versions in various meters have
been substituted or will be added as giving better expression to the Psahns
they represent. These versions have mostly been tested by public use.
The Committee rejoice in the perfect unanimity in aim and method and
spirit which has prevailed in their meetings, and in the last meeting they
felt more fully than ever before that the Spirit of God was leading them in
the work, and the Committee believe that the results attained so far will be
found more faithful to the text, and at the same time in smoother verse
than anything that has yet appeared on the Psalms. Of course, the work
done will receive another and final revision.
It is gratifying that the Presbyterianism of North America is so largely
represented on the Committee, and it is hoped that any branches of the
church not yet co-operating may decide to send representatives, as thej' are
hereby cordially and earnestly invited.
The next meeting of the Committee svill be held in Toronto, from
August 20th to 29th.
The Psalms as already revised will be printed and sent to the present
members of the Committee, and to new representatives when their names
are sent to the secretary.
To meet the expense of printing and other small items, the Committee
ask. for the current year, the sum of $15 from each of the denominations
co-operating. This should be sent without delay to the secretary, Rev. Dr.
J. D. Steele, 74 West 103d street. New York City.
The Committee express their cordial thanks to the friends in Philadel-
phia who so courteously extended hospitality to them while in the city,
and to the First Presbyterian church, Asbury Park, and to the Presbyterian
Board of Publication and Sabbath School Work. Philadelphia, for com-
fortable rooms in which to meet.

REPORT OF THE UNITED PRESBYTERIAN DELE-
GATES TO THE GENERAL COMMITTEE ON
REVISION OF THE METRICAL PSALMS.
The chairman. Rev. R. G. Ferguson. D.D.. was unable to meet with
the Committee. The undersigned took part in the work, at Asbury Park,
N. J., during ten days in the fall of 1900, and for two weeks at Philadelphia,
in April and May, 1901. Before our appointment the Committee held a
week's session in New York, in April. 1900. and revised the first nine Psalms.
At Asbury Park the revision Was continued through Psalm 34. and at Phil-
adelphia to the end of Psalm 72. The next meeting is to be held in Toron-
1 90 1 . ] Minutes of General Assembly . — Appendix. 357
to, Canada, on the last ten days of August, where we hope to reach the end
of the third book, Psalm 89. All this work, however, is to be revised again
before submitcing it to the various Churches.
Thus far the Committee has prepared only a single version of each
psalm, though in the final revision a few second versions may be added.
In the first 72 psalms the commor meter was selected in a majority of
cases; yet a large minority of selections are from the various meters of our
Revised Psalter, a liberal use of which was made in every psalm except a
very few. The Committee aims to have all the different meters that are
used in sacred music represented in the psalms, to the end that the Churches
may have as large a variety of music as is desirable. The changes made by
the Committee are chiefly in the Scottish versions; the new versions of our
Psalter are generally so accurate as to require few and slight changes.
In this revision eleven denominations are partially enlisted; the eight
following are represented by delegates actively engaged in the work: The
Canada Presbyterian and the R. P. General Synod, by three delegates each;
the R. P. Synod and the U. P. Assembly by two delegates each; the
Northern Presbyterian had two delegates at the first meeting, but one
of them. Rev. Prof. Duffield. has since died; the (Dutch) Reformed, the
•Associate and the Christian Reformed, by one each. The Committee have
made an effort to secure, if possible, the co-operation of other denomina-
tions in our work, and they desire full delegations from each denomination
represented. The whole Committee cordially agreed to the principle of a
close rendering of each psalm as far as possible in a smooth versification;
and in the work so far there are fewer deviations from the text than in the
Scottish version or our revision.
The delegates dift'ering in sentiment on many questions, not always
agreeing in judgment as to the true sense of Hebrew words and phrases,
nor as to the essentials of a close translation, have yet with little dissent
harmonized in nearly every conclusion. The aim was. first. To find out and
express the true .-ense of each verse ; second. To select ihe best meter in
which to make the versification; and. third. To make each stanza the closest
possible to the text, and as suiooth as the accepted limitations would allow.
We do not imagine that all mistakes are avoided, that our work is not open
to just criticism, nor that it will meet universal approval from any of the
Churches represented. Objections will be made here and there to our work,
and perhaps ought to be made; and doubtless other and better revisions
may be made. But we believe that any just critic, in comparing our revision
with the original text and with other versions will be compelled to say that
we have made great improvement on former versions; that in none of them
has there been as close and clear rendering of the text, as few violations of
poetic accent and rhythm and meters so well suited to the sentiment of the
psalm. We hope to make it. when completed, a revision worthy of recom-
mendation as a twentieth century attainment.
The time spent in Committee meetings is but a small part 01 the demand
upon us. Since our appointment, a year ago, every hour that could be
spared from other duties has been given to the study of the Psalms and the
preparation for material which may help the Committee in their determina-
tions. We gratefully recognize the manifest evidences of the Holy Spirit's
guidance and blessing, both in our personal and committee labors. Without
this, nothing could have been done; with it much has been done that we
trust will redound to the perfecting of divine praise, the unity of the Chris-
tian Church, and the glory of Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour.

REPORT OF THE QUARTER-CENTENNIAL
COMMISSION.
The treasurer of the Quarter-Centennial Commission desires to report
to the Assembly that a short time ago he received from a gentleman in
Iowa the sum of $31, in payment of a note that had been given in 1883. and
of which he had no knowledge until quite recently. The treasurer, by the
advice of some other members of this Commission, asks the Assembly
whether he shall divide this small sum pro rata among the objects desig-
nated by the Assembly of 1883, or give it in bulk, with the consent of the
donor, to one of the other objects now before the Church.
Yours respectfully,
J. J. Porter, Treasurer.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON UNION WITH THE
ASSOCIATE REFORMED SYNOD OF THE SOUTH.
There has not been any correspondence with the Committee of the As-
sociate Reformed Synod of the South on the subject of union during the
past year. There are many indications of a growing feeling in favor of such
union, when it may be accomplished without any division or dissatisfaction.
The relations are becoming more cordial, and co-operation is continued in
mission work and in the young people's work. It is, therefore, judged bet-
ter not to take any direct steps towards union at the present time, being
well assured that the union will take place as soon as the edification of both
bodies will call for it.
Respectfully submitted, by order of the Committee,
A. G. Wallace, Chairman.
REPORT OF THE DELEGATE TO THE ASSOCIATE
REFORMED SYNOD OF THE SOUTH.
I beg leave to report that, by the appointment of the General .\ssembly
of 1900, I attended the meeting of the Associate Reformed Synod, held in
Louisville. Georgia, November 8-12, 1900. I was received and entertained
in a most cordial and fraternal manner. Tho highest regard was expressed
on every hand for the United Presbyterian Church, union with which all
seem to consider only a question of time. Delegates were appointed by the
Synod to attend this .^ssembly. • Respectfully,
John A. Wilson.
REPORT OF THE ASYUT COLLEGE COMMITTEE.
The Asyut College Committee desires to present to the Assembly the
following statement concerning its origin, work and purpose:
On December 26. igoo, a meeting of ministers and laymen was held in
Calvin Hall, Pittsburgh, to consider the needs of the educational work of
our Church in Egvpl. At this meeting a Committee was appointed, consist-
ing of Revs. Drs.'j. K. McClurkin, R. M. Russell. John McNaugher, D. F.
igoi.] Minutes of General Assembly . — Appendix. 359
McGill, Messrs. J. R. Reed, Samuel Young, T. J. Gillespie, J. D. Fraser
and J. J. Porter, to consider the entire subject and to report to a subsequent
meeting. This Committee held two sessions, carefully considering -the sub-
ject in its many phases. At the second meeting, held January .30, 1901, in
the jVlonongahela National Bank, Drs. Barr and Kyle, secretary and presi-
dent of the Board of Foreign Missions, were present by invitation and took
part in the conference. The Committee decided to report the following
resolution: "Resolved, That we make an efifort to raise $100,000 for the
purchase of grounds and the erection of buildings for Asyut Training Col-
lege, at Asyut, Egypt, the subscriptions to be payable one-third July i. 1901,
one-third July i, 1902, one-third July i, 190.^." The two officers of the For-
eign Board expressed themselves as being in thorough sympathy and ac-
cord with this action.
A second meeting of ministers and laymen was held in Calvin Hali,
Pittsburgh. February 8, 1901, at which the Committee reported action as
above. The report was discussed and unanimously adopted. The Commit-
tee was made a permanent one, with power to add to its numlier, and with
instructions to proceed to raise the money as speedily as practicable, and to
report to another meeting to be called in May.
The Committee, to be hereafter known as the Asyut College Committee,
met in the Monongahela National Bank. Monday, February 11. 1901. and
organized by the election of J. K. McClurkin. D.D., 456 Scnith Atlantic
avenue, chairman; R. M. Russell, D.D., 572 North Sheridan avenue, vice-
chairman: John D. Fraser, treasurer, ^lonongahela National Bank; J. J.
Porter, secretary, 918 Penn avenue.
Since the above date the Committee has been holding fortnightly meet-
ings in the parlors of the Monongahela National Bank, tabulating results
of efforts made and planning new duties. The Committee is happy to report
that the sum (jf $65,163.10 has been already pledged, of which amount the
sum of $17.68.3.16 has been paid to the treasurer, and is held by the Com-
mittee for the work in Egj'pt. It is the desire of the Committee to continue
its work until the whole sum is raised, the buildings erected and turned over
to the Foreign Board free of debt. It is a pleasure to express our convic-
tion that the money raised and to be raised will in no way interfere with the
regular contributions of our members to the boards of the Church. The
sums received so far are from a comparatively small number of members,
whose loyalty to the boards will be rather increased than diminished by this
special effort.
The Committee is assured, from the liberal response made to its call
within the brief period of its existence, that the full amount asked for will
be speedily raised, and expects to conduct its work along lines which will
have the fullest approval of the .*\ssembly. and which will be recognized as
auxiliary to the regular work of the boards.
Respectfully submitted.

REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMISSION OF •
THE ALLIANCE OF REFORMED CHURCHES.
The Executive Commission of the Western Section of the Alliance of
the Reformed Churches throughout the world, holding the Presbyterian
System, presents to your venerable body its annual report, invoking upon
you and your churches the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God
and the communion of the Holy Ghost.
360 Minutes of General Assembly. — Appendix. [vol. x, no. 2,
The Commission has held two meetings during the year, one on No-
vember 15, 1900, at Louisville. Ky.. in the Warren Memorial Presbyterian
church of that city, the second in the Marble Collegiate Reformed (Dutch)
church. New York City, on April 9. 1901. Both meetings were character-
ized by much good feeling, and were highly profitable to the mutual interests
of our Churches. The members of the Commission were the objects of a
cordial hospitality in the two cities, and in New York City an evening re-
ception was given by the Presbyterian Union.
The Commission has appointed Rev. A. G. Wallace. D.D.. as a delegate
to bear to your venerable body the fraternal greetings of the Alliance, \vith
John McNaugher, D.D., as alternate.
It is respectfully requested that provision be made for the apportion-
ment of the expenses of the Alliance, due from your venerable body for the
present year, and which amounts to the sum of $270. Remittance may be
made to the American treasurer of the Alliance, Frank K. Hippie. Esq.,
LL.D.. president of the Real Estate Trust Company, Philadelphia. Pa.
We regret to report the removal by death of one of the most distin-
guished members of tlie Commission. General Benjamin Harrison. ex-
President of the United States. He belonged to the highest type of Chris-
tian statesmen, and was honored in all the Churches.
The work on the European continent needs once more to be emplia-
sized in our correspondence. A large proportion of the visitors to Europe
each summer are connected with the American Churches of the Alliance.
Their spiritual needs receive but little attention. Where efifort has been
made to supply them, the result has been most encouraging. It is re-
spectfully suggested that the agency having charge of the work of foreign
missions imder our jurisdiction, be charged with the duty of special effort
with a view to providing services of the Churches of our faith and order in
Europe during the summer season, in such places as are most frequented
by American visitors.
In connection with this work we report that a draft of a constitution for
"Auxiliary Societies for European Work" was adopted at the meeting of this
Commission, held in New York City, on April 9. 1901. Copies of the same
can be secured upon application to the American secretary of the Alliance.
Your attention is also called to the movement presented to the Com-
mission by the Rev. Dr. J. A. Worden, looking toward, first, the organiza-
tion in our Sabbath schools of a normal department for the higher study
of the Scriptures and for the training of persons to be Sabbath school teach-
ers; and. second, to the furnishing of these normal departments with a se-
ries of lessons in the Bible, and with the methods and principles of teaching
in a normal quarterly. It is also worthy of note that a plan of systematic
beneficence of an efficient character is now in operation in the Sabbath
schools and Christian Endeavor Societies .of the Reformed Church in
America.
The Commission having given careful consideration to the home mis-
sion work of the several Churches in the Western Section of the Alliance,
submits the following resolutions, adopted by it, to your venerable body,
viz.:
Whereas, The blessing of God has been graciously and in remarkable
degree bestowed in the past upon the home mission work of the Churches
connected with this Alliance on the American continent; and, whereas, in
the new century which opens before us. yet larger opportunities for progress
appear to be afforded by divine Providence; and. whereas, God has blessed
his peojjle with greatly increased means for the prosecution of the work of
his kingdom; therefore.
Resolved, I. That it be recommended to the supreme judicatories of
the several Churches in the Western Section of the Alliance to take such
steps as shall lead to renewed effort along all lines of home mission work,
with a view to a yet more thorough evangelization (if the American con-
tinent.
I90I.] Minutes of General Assembly . — Appendix. 361
2. That special attention be called to the increasing alien immigration
so full of peril to our religious institutions; to the religious destitution
among the isolated dwellers in our mountain districts, and the great held
open to us among them, and to the changing conditions among the colored
people, requiring greatly increased efforts for their instruction and spiritual
elevation, providential calls to special work at this critical period.
3. That it be earnestly recommended that in all these lines of special
mission work the plan of co-operation already adopted be carefully carried out,
that the Churches represented may come nearer together in the common field.
The Commission further took action in relation to the Ecumenical Mis-
sionary Conference, held in New^ York last year, and as follows Resolved,
That the executive Commission of the Alliance of the Reformed Churches
throughout the world, holding the Presbyterian System. Western Section,
herewith records its great joy that there was held in the city of New York,
in the closing year of this century, an Ecumenical Missionary Conference,
whose truly representative character and strong personnel, whose splendid
program of noble addresses and comprehensive papers evoked widespread
missionar\- enthusiasm and inspiration, and marked it as unique and glori-
ous among the great councils of the Church of Christ.
This Commission also records its profound gratitude to God that the
Alliance of the Reformed Churches of the world was permitted to have part
in inaugurating the movement that resulted in this great conference, the be-
neficent effects of which will doubtless be felt, and strongly, far into the com-
ing cenutury, as the Christian Church realizes its splendid privilege and
great responsibility and enters the doors of the heathen world that every-
where are opening to the gospel.
The matter of the conditions prevalent in China was under considera-
tion at the meeting November 15, 1900, at Louisville, Ky., and the follow-
ing action was taken:
Resolved, i. That this Alliance expresses its high appreciation of the
devotion and courage of the missionaries of the Christian Churches in
China during the troublous events recently occurring in that country, and its
thankfulness to God that not even the fear of death availed to shake the
faith or weaken the fidelity either of the missionaries or of the great ma-
jority of their converts.
2. That the deep sympathy of the Alliance is tendered to the relatives
of the missionaries, both men and women, who suffered martyrdom for the
sake of Christ.
3. That it is the judgment of this Alliance that the work of missions in
China, where destroyed, should be re-established at the earliest practicable
date, and that missionary efforts should be carried forward with renewed
and unflagging energy, when God in his providence opens the way.
4. That Christian missionaries, equally with other citizens, are entitled
to the full protection of their governments while resident in China, and that
the officers of the Alliance communicate to the President of the U. S. A. our
thanks for the kindly interest and care which the representatives of the U. S.
government in China have shown to the missionaries during the recent
dangerous and sorrowful times.
With gratitude to God we draw attention to the movements toward
union within our Churches. The several Presbyterian missions in Southern
India, representing three separate Churches, have under consideration ar-
rangements for co-operation in mission work, and the union of the native
congregations in one body. This movement is in line with the religious
tendency of the times, a tendency yet more clearly manifested in the com-
pleted union of the Free Church and the United Presbyterian Church of
Scotland, which took place at Edinburgh, Scotland. October 31. 1900. The
new Church is called The United Free Church of Scotland, and has about
1,786 ministers. 1.706 congregations. 495.178 communicants and 282,965 Sab-
bath school scholars and teachers.
362 Minutes of General Assembly. — Appendix. [vol. x, no. 2.
The Commission addressed a letter of congratulation, signed by its
officers, to the General Assembly of the United Church, as follows:
Beloved Brethren: The Western Section of "The Alliance of the Re-
formed Churches throughout the world, holding the Presbyterian System,"
tenders to you its heartfelt felicitations upon the union now happily efifected
between the United Presbyterian and the Free Churches of Scotland. In
tendering our congratulations we feel that we represent a widespread and
affectionate interest in your welfare as a Church among the Presbyterian
and Reformed Churches of the American continent. From the Southern
Cross to the Aurora Borealis. in Chile, Brazil. Mexico, the United States
and Canada, there is heard the voice of , thanksgiving and praise for the
goodness of God as made evident in your dwelling henceforth together in
one visible household of the faith. Especially when we remember that the
Alliance, which gives expression to this spiritual unity of the Presbyterian
and Reformed Churches throughout the world, was brought into existence
by the earnest efforts and unselfish devotion of such men as Rev. Drs. Wm.
Garden Blaikie, James McCosh and John Cairns, we can but rejoice that
their work, in the line of Christian unity has in part found fruitage in the
union of your two Churches. Indeed, as we think upon the past, rejoice in
the present and cherish hope for the future, we are "bound to thank God
always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth ex-
ceedingly and the charity of every one of you all toward each other abound-
eth."
May the union now realized by you be an incentive, in many lands, to
the bringing into the visible unity of Christ's Church the many beloved
brethren who. with us. are one in faith and practice.
"Now. our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father which
hath loved us, and hath given us the everlasting consolation and good hope
through grace, comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word
and work. Finally, brethren, pray for us that the word of the Lord may
have free course and be glorified, even as it is with you."
We close this report with brief reference to the great interests w'hich
are entrusted of God to the Churches of this Alliance. We are in agree-
ment upon all essential matters. We draw from the Holy Scriptures, as the
great source, our doctrine, worship and government. We acknowledge
these Scriptures as the only infallible rule of faith and conduct. We stand
for the certainty of the accomplishment of God's purposes alike in salvation
and in providence. Our Churches have been in the forefront in the past
in all missionary work, both at home and abroad. We have on the American
contient 8.000,000 of adherents and 17.000.000 in other parts of the world.
We should come yet more closely into sympathy and co-operation, striving
together for the faith, and praying earnestly for the outpouring of the Holy
Spirit upon Christian and heathen nations alike, God thus co-operating with
his people for the redemption of the world, and responding to their prayer,
"Thy kingdom come." May the opening years of the twentieth century
witness great revivals of religion in this and other Christian lands, and the
overthrow of idolatry in heathen regions, in particular in that empire where
so many Christians recently have sealed with their blood their fidelity to
Christ and his cross.
Tendering fraternal sympathy and earnest prayers for the prosperity of
the work of Christ within your bounds, and in fulness of faith that his pur-
poses shall be fulfilled in due time, whose is the kingdom, and the power
and the glory, we are in behalf of the Alliance,
Wm Henry Robert.s, American Secretary.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE REED
ESTATE.
The executors and trustees of the William Reed estate would, as re-
quired by the will of deceased, present this our annual report of progress:
1. In the collection of $8,976.66. balance on the sale of 2,695 acres of
mineral land in West Virginia. Some 12,000 acres remain there unsold, and
not very saleable, worth probably $3 per acre.
2. The collection of $20,000, the amount of compromise referred to in
our last report, as due from the sale of land in Missouri.
3. These sums and some other funds, less expenses, have, by direction
of the Orphans' Court, under special bequest in the will of the deceased,
been paid to the estate of Mrs. Reed, deceased, and will soon pass entire,
less expenses, to the boards of the Church.
We have failed to sell during the: year any of the land reported last year
as belonging to the estate.
After paying all taxes and other expenses incurred in defending the
estate against various law suits, there remains about $2,100 cash and securi-
ties, for incidental and possible expenses, pending additional sales.
Respectfully submitted by order of executors.
^ S. Collins, Secretary.
