This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.
It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.
Marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the
publisher to a library and finally to you.

1>REFACE.
The Presbyterian Historical Almanac has been prepared
to supply a want experienced by many of the brethren.
Spread abroad as the Presbyterian Church is over the whole
world — divided into numerous bodies — it has been difficult even
for the most enterprising and zealous of her members to keep
fully aware of her progress and her power.
DifTering as they do from each other^ still the golden vein
of Calvinism pervades each organization ; and though distinct
aa the billows, they are one as the sea.
Believing that a volume such as is now presented to the pub-
lic would prove useful — founded as it is upon the most reliable
data, all our statements being derived from official sources,
I have prepared the plan and carried it out to the best of my
ability.
That such a work was needed has been a prevalent idea
in the minds of many, as an extensive and wide-spread cor-
respondence has fully revealed. The generous co-operation
of numerous friends aided me in obtaining the documents and
facts needed to complete my design ; and though to enumerate
all who have thus placed me under obligation, would extend
this Preface beyond a reasonable limit, I must be allowed the
privilege of placing upon record the names of Rev. John Weir,
D. D., of London ; Robert Barbour, Esq., of Manchester ;
Rev. Alex. Beith, D. D., of Stirling, Rev. John Eadie,
D. D. LL. D., of Glasgow, Scotland ; Rev. Robt. Park, of

Ind.; and Rev. T. W. J. Wylie, of Philadelphia, as those who
have manifested more than ordinary interest in the suo-
cess and value of the undertaking.
In the Introduction will be found an outline of the plan
and the basis on which were founded our Statistical Tables.
In the preparation of these tables I was greatly aided by
my friend William Palmer^ Esq., of this city.

INTRODUCTION.
As might naturally be ezpeeted, many plans suggested tbemselTes as
suitable for a work like this ; but the following was adopted as comprehend-
ing all that was needful, and though it could hardly be anticipated that in
the Initial number it could be fully and completely carried out, still the
defects which may appear are the result of circumstances beyond control*
Whilst preserving the integrity of the announcement, that The Presbyte-
rian Historical Almanac would give a clear and concise account of the
operations of the year, the plan permits the introduction of various
tables of value and interest; such as those prepared of the Deceased
Ministers — the operations of the Boards of the Presbyterian Church for
a series of years — the list of those who have died in the Presbyterian
Church of Canada ; and of the Associate Church during its career as a dis-
tinct organization. These tables can be enlarged to a considerable extent.
That a work purely statistical would not be favourably received is appa-
rent to all ; we have therefore given The Almanac a Literary and Historical
value, by commencing the account of each Assembly or Synod with a fair,
though condensed, report of the Discourse preached by the retiring Mode-
rator, and by giving a History of the Churches where the Assemblies or
Synods held their annual sessioo.
That the literary merit of the Discourses should be high is inferred from
the fact that they are prepared by appointment, and delivered under circum-
stances of peculiar interest. The Historical Sketches of the churches are
valuable, being written by persons thoroughly acquainted with all neces-
sary facts and details, and furnish rich materials for subsequent historians.
This being an age for Hlustrations, we have placed before the reader the
Portraits of those honoured with the Moderatorship during the current
year; together with the Drawings of those Churches where the an-
nual sessions were held, giving as they do a good idea of the style of archi-

12 INTRODUCTION.
lecture of different places and periods. We need scarcely remark that tbe
Portraits, and Views of Churches were drawn expressly for the Almanac.
The Tables are all prepared to save the time of the student or reader
— the lists of names of Ministers, Presbyteries, or Synods, are alphabet-
ically arranged; and to give the work a practical character, we reduced it
into a reply to this question : '' What is it I ought to know concerning the
Presbyterian Church ?''— keeping this question constantly before the mind,
this volume grew to its present proportions.
The value of Statistics is more and more acknowledged, and their careful
arrangement and thoroughness of detail are of great use to the student and
others searching for knowledge.
Tbe Tables giving the operations of the Boards of the Presbyteria6
Churches for several years, throw much light upon their operations.
The Presbyteriul Statistics, being divided into many columns, enable the
reader to learn the number of Pastors, Stated Supplies, Teachers, Agents, or
Editors, and those without charge in each Presbytery ; also the number of
Churches with Pastors, or Stated Supplies — the number vacant — the number
reporting additions to the Communion of the Chutoh, and the number
making no report, besides the usual list of Licentiates, and Candidates, &c.|
Ac., also the number of Churches in each Presbytery contributing to the
various benevolent operations of the Church. The first column shows the
nsmber of Churches in each Presbytery^ the next shows the number of
Churches giving to a certain object, the next column shows the amount given,
fte., ftc. By these Tables the reader can see at a glance the hold each object
has upon the hearts of the people.
The official documents of each body being the basis of all our statements
and tables, they are more or less complete according to circumstances, and
where marked deficiences occur, they arise from the absence of any reliable
data. In computing the collections in the Foreign Churches, w6 have
brought up the amounts to the American Standard of Dollars, rating the
Pound in the currency of the British Provinoes at $4.00, that of Great
Britain at S4.80.
With these general remarks, we tmbmit the result of our labours to the
public and the Church, promising to do all we can to profit by our experi-
ence and the criticisms of our friends^ and earnestly hoping that each suo-
oeeding year may Bee The Almanac more valuable and interesting than its
predecessor.

THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, (0. S.)
Thb Sbvbntibth Session op thb General Assembly, (0. S.)
OP THE Presbyterian Church in the United States op Akeri-
CA, met according to appointment, in the First Presby teriaa Church
in the city of New Orleans, on Thursday, the 6th of May, A. D.
1858 ; and was opened with a discourse by the retiring Moderator.
$i8t0sm Irs ^t^^ (LatihrOit Vu ^mithtt, $* $.
Cor. xiii. 11. Be of one mind, live in peace, and the God of love and peace shall
be with you.
Unity, Pbaoe, and Blessedness are the three thoughts which
shine forth from the text, in the blended rays of Divine truth.
I. " Be of one Mind.*' — Let us be unanimous in our general
views of religion. Let there be no division among us in regard to
Bible doctrine. Christian experience, or religious duty.
1. Doctrines are the glory of revelation. When sin had smit-
ten with death the souls of our original parents, the dawn of the
first promise of a Redeemer came to tlie world with the joy of
angels, and with hope to lost men. The atonement of the Lord Je-
sus Christ is revelation's substance and glory. As our blessed Lord
was born and ascended to Heaven again, with the retinue of wit-
nessing and glorifying angels, so his atonement upon the Cross re-
ceives the homage of all the promises, prophecies, and providences
of unfolding redemption. Every promise in the darkness of the
old dispensation twinkled with theGod-light of Jesus Christ. The
prophecies, like attending guards, relieved each other with renewed
strength to watch over the advent of the Son of Man. All the
providences were the demonstrations of God's ceaseless care of his
truth, and were the perpetual memorials, in the vista of ages, of
the great principles of salvation. Doctrine is the basis of the tem-
ple, which goes up with the shoutings of "grace unto it"
Doctrines are essential, inborn characteristics of the plan of sal-
vation. They are the mountain ranges which traverse the system
of the world of grace, whose solid strata are old as the eternal ages;
from whose sides flow down rills and rivers to gladden the earth ;
and whose peaks lift up their heads to the skies, in the grandeur
and mystery of heights inaccessible.
The Church ought to be unanimous in regard to the nature of
Christian doctrines. The churches of the Beformation enjoyed a
substantial unity of belief. The crucifixion of the Son of God, as
an atoning sacrifice, original sin, total depravity, regeneration by

26 PBSSBTTERIAK HISTORICAL ALMANAC
the Spirit, justification by faith, electing love and persevering^raoe,
resurrection from the dead, and eternal retribution in heaven or
hell, received universal homage. The world never loved these
doctrines and never will.
The ingenuity of perverse interpretation is unwilling to submit
to tests which expose its object. Creeds are by some declared to
be hostile to freedom of inquiry, and to liberty of conscience; by
others they are received for "substance of doctrine," or for shadow
of truth. No wonder that errorists dread them. Framed from the
Bible, they search out heresy with the mighty power of discerning
and uncompromising orthodoxy.
Let us " be of one mind" in preaching and teaching these doo-
trines of salvation. The Presbyterian Church has been truly cha-
racterized as a doctrine-loving Church. Doctrine is the basis of
effectual instruction. Exhortation, good in its place, degenerates
into sound, when unaccompanied by appeals to the understandiDg.
Moral essays and philosophical speculations are disingenuous sub-
stitutes. God moves the heart through the mind ; and the mind
through the truth. Doctrine must be preached, and taught with
seal and earnestness, with passionate sensibility, in demonstration
of the Spirit, and with power. It must be taught, not only in the
public preaching, but in the forms of the Catechism— of the re-
nowned Catechism of the Westminster Assembly — a Catechism,
which boldly, simply, expressively, conveys the sublimest truths of
God to the minds of children and youth. It is the religious mas-
ter-work of question and answer. Through Divine grace, it has
catechized many a soul into the gates of Heaven ; and its very
echoes, sent back to the earth, urge to perseverance in the " good
old way" of teaching sinners to " glorify God and enjoy him for-
ever."
2. Again, nnity in regard to the views of Christian experience
18 of the utmost consequence to the Church. Truth is promotive
of godliness. Those who are favoured with purity of doctrine are
bound to hold it in purity of life. Orthodoxy is associated in dull
and inimical minds with want of spiritual devotion ; whereas, the
true knowledge of God is the natural and spiritual antecedent of
holiness.
Christian experience has its origin in the power of the Holy
Ghost. '^ Be ye of one mind," brethren, in reference to the true
source of spiritual life in our fallen nature. Error imperils immor-
tality. God alone can give life to the '* dead in trespasses and in
sins." " Which were born not of hhod; nor of tJie will of the flesh ;
nor of the will of man f^ these three negatives exhaust all supposa-
ble cases of human instrumentality. What then ? What is the
only other conceivable supposition ? The only possible author of
regeneration is God himself.
The work of grace is, in its naiure^ a progressive work, in the
experience of the saints. They '*grow in grace, and in the know-
ledge of the Lord Jesus." " Not as though they were already per-
feot," but they *' press toward the mark." Behold the verdure of

Bpring, bow renewed life ezpanda in the lea^f and the bnd, which
grow up in gladness to their perfect form; blown about, indeed, by
rude winds and stormy rains, and yet nurtured into maturity by
the invigorating roughness of elemental strife. So the Christian
has growth in the implanted power of quiokening grace.
The evidences of conversion are in holy living. ''By their fruits
ye shall know them." Let no roan say, " We have Abraham to opr
father."
The greatest test of conversion by the Spirit 13 in walking in the
Spirit. ''For they that are afler the flesh, do mind the things of
the flesh ; and they that are afWr the Spirit, the things of the Spirit."
Likeness to Je^us Christ is the great aim lyad result of the plan of
redemption.
Vital piety should ever claim in the Church uniformity of mind.
Let us take care that the Gospel be preached by faithful men.
Let us take care that the Church receive into her communion, so
far as human administration can secure it, true sons and daughters.
Not numbers ; not the mighty, or the learned in fame ; not the
self*confident in character ; but the poor in spirit, the children of
penitence and faith, the broken-hearted, the bapti^sed of God, the
pure in heart, and the holy in life — these conatUute strength in the
Church and bring glory to the et^nal King.
3. " Be ye of one mind" in viewB of Christian duty ; be unani-
mous in advancing the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ, to the
utmost of all capability, in the individual believer, or through or-
ganized Church effort. Christianity first recreates, and then sends
forth into service. It makes anew, in order ^ set to do. The
work of advancing the cause of redemption is co-work with God.
To help forward the kingdom of the Sou of Man is to sympathize
with his life of benevolence, his mediatorial su£EeidngB, b^ ^xaltefl
intercession, his universal dominion.
Fathers and mothers of the Church, be ye unanipioiiui in self-
denying and persevering efforts, through Divine grace, in impress-
ing religion upon the minds of your children. Never ckn there
be a substitute for household education. The family is the church
in the house. After the flood, God gave the bow as a pledge of
perpetual seedtime and harvest, and he gave the covenant as the
pledge and channel of salvation to the children of believers, until
the harvest of the end of the world. The covenant with Abraham
was a family covenant ; and the Divine proiaisee, like the cover-
ings of the tabernacle, curtain with miraculous texture the cradles
of babes. " Oh," said Bichard Baxter, " if parents did but do their
duty to their children, iew souls need be converted under the
preaching of the word."
The carrying of the truth to living men by the living ministry is
the divinely appointed method of public aggression upon the world
lying in wickedness. And the Presbyterian Church, in Divine
providence, is of one mind in doing this work in the name of
the Church, and under the authority of the Church. Being abso-
lutely unaaimous in our views of the duty^ and of the methods of

evangelizing the world, what we lack is, to press forward in oar
plans.
11. "LiVB IN Peace." — This is the second injunction of the
text. Living in peace is a true correlative of being of one mind.
Spiritual congeniality of feeling sweetly accompanies agreement ia
sentiment. Heart unanimity is a glorious form of religious one-
ness. Religion is " first pure ; then peaceable."
1. The nature of the peace recommended, includes hve to our
brethren in Christ, and good will towards all men. To live in peace,
is to love the saints of Christ. Our blessed Lord laid great empha-
sis upon the kind treatment of every soul redeemed by his blood.
"Verily, I say unto you, inasmuch as you have done it unto the
least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." Hence the
urgency of the injunctions: "Be kindly affectioned one to another;
in honour preferring one another." " Let brotherly love continue."
" Love as brethren ; be pitiful, be courteous." Yea, we are even
commanded to "lay down our lives for the brethren."
Good will towards all men is also an element of a life of peace.
True benevolence of heart seeks the good of others and never their
harm. "As much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men."
2. The obligations to peace are manifest and manifold.
(1.) Peace is the fruit of the Spirit. " We have passed from
death unto life, because we love the brethren."
(2.) The good of the Church is another of the obligations to live
in peace. " Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren
to dwell together in unity ;" it is good in itself, and it is a pleasant
and commendatory exhibition of the power of the Gospel. The
Church suffers immeasurably by needless and sinful controversies.
The controversies in our own Church, in past years, however
necessary on the side of righteousness, produced much serious
injury.
(3.) The happiness of the individual is an obligation to live
peaceably. The stirrer up of strife among brethren is, first a mur-
derer, and then commits suicide. He destroys his own peace of
mind in his work of injuring others. Deadly and tormenting are
"hatred, variance, emulation, wrath, strife." How widely diflfer-
ent is the peacemaker ! " Blessed are the peacemakers ; for they
shall be called the children of God."
(4.) A regard for the salvation of others is an obligation to live
a life of peace. Much evil is done to thousands who are without,
by unamiable exhibitions of spirit, and by a persistence of contro-
versial inclinations, which savour not of the things that be Christ's.
Many a controversy has turned away hearers from the instructions
of the sanctuary, and thus incidentally destroyed souls.
(6.) The Heavenly state shows the obligations to a life of peace.
No angel in glory disturbs the harmony of the heavenly abode ; no
saint in light provokes discord among the perfect ones in Christ
Jesus.
8. The manifestations of peace in our lives, may be briefly illus-
trated in reference to our own Church, and in its relation to other
Digitized by
Googk
THE FRSSBYTEBIAN CHUBOH, (O. 8.) 29
oburches. In our oivn Churchy the manifestations of peace con-
sist, in part, in a kind and conciliatory treatment of all sectional
questions. Few strifes are more violent than those of this charac-
ter; nor is the Church free from them. The mighty torrent of
political agitation, which has its periodical seasons of high over-
flow, sometimes crevasses inundation into the rich and cultivated
possessions of the Church. But, instead of contention, such a crisis
demands harmony. All Christians must learn to bear and forbear
with one another. Fortunately for the Presbyterian Church, the
world has not only witnessed a mutual forbearance in different
sections of our country, on one of the most divisive of all sectional
questions, but also a substantial agreement in the principles which
underlie the whole subject.
The meeting of our body in this great city of the Southwest,
the capital of the first slave territory acquired by the United
States, is, itself, a telegraph to the whole country of the peace
which prevails among Old School Presbyterians. At a period of
intense general excitement throughout the land, it may be affirmed
in advance, that, on whatever other questions divisions of sentiment
may arise in this body, its peace cannot be interrupted by discussions
on this one. And the reason is, not that the General Assembly ever
has, or ever will, compromise principle, before God or man, but
because its deliverances have been made in the light of Scriptural
truth ; received, perhaps, with some shades of difference, but ac-
quiesced in and acted upon in the spirit of Christian moderation.
A life of peace may be further manifested in the Church, in our
personal intercourse with our brethren. Happy is he who lives with
prayer on his lips and with love in his heart I Oh, how lovely is
a loving man I
Fathers and brethren I M^y the manifestations of peace in these
and in all other respects, show our prevalent desire to serve God
in all sincerity, wisdom, and meekness; and may the world say of
us, with an admiration compelled by our peaceful lives, "Behold,
how these Christians love one another.**
The manifestations of peace in our relations to other Churches may
be shown in two particulars :
Presbyterians, so far as I am aware — although being one of them,
not, therefore, an impartial witness — but so far as I am aware,
Presbyterians are not specially obnoxious in the community, for
the exclusiveness of their religious claims. They, indeed, love
their own Church, as a dutiful child loves a precious mother, who
has nursed with tenderness, consecrated to God with faith, and
trained up for heaven with zeal. But Presbyterians love all other
evangelical Churches, — all " mothers in Israel," — to whatever tribe
in the true commonwealth they belong. It is sufficient, and I
hope not too much, to say, that Presbyterians do not unchurch
other denominations; that they always recognize as brethren, the
ministers of other Christian Churches; and that they have never
exalted either the Lord's Supper or Baptism as the necessary
means of true access to God on the part of the penitent believer.

Anotheir temptation in otlr relation to other churches^ i$ unne-
cessary ecclesiastical c<mtrovetsy with them. Let me not be miff-
understood. There ai*iB times and seaBons when it is the doty of
Christians to follotr controversy, to resist error, to "contend ear-
nestly for the faith." Praise be to the God of Zion, for the cham-^
pions whom he raised up in periods of danger, to protect our banner
upon the ramparts ! Yes, brethren, there is a time to fight ; we have
all seen that day, and may live to see it again. Bat there is too
much controversy ; there id a time for peace. Although we may
not agree with the denominational peculiarities of other Churches,
it becomes us to cultirate their fraternal intercourse. When con-
troversy is forced upon us, it, of course, cannot be avoided ; but we
may so live as to disarm controversy of much of its offensive and
aggressive power. Above all, our Church need not contend with
other Churches in regard to externals, which do not necessarily in-
volve error of doctrine. For example, an Episcopalian may hold
to the Apostolic succession, as Cranmer did, in a sense that does
not exclude the acknowledgment of the ministry of all evangelical
Churches, or may defend the rite of Confirmation on grounds per-
fectly consistent with religious toleration. Other points might be
specified. The principle of peace is, for all churches to endeavour
to hold the peculiarities of their own inalienable liberty in a way
that does not encroach upon the liberty of others.
III. First Unity^ then Peace^ then BUssedness. "The God of
loVe and peace shall be with you."
What a honefUl indication of the blessings that follow unity and
peace is found in the very names here claimed by Qt>d ! He is the
God " of love and peace." 'the head of the Church appropriates
to himself a character that insures the prosperity of all his crea*
tures, who possess the same moral attributes.
God is the God of " love and peace." Love goes with " peace ;"
and he is called the God of peace, fitst^ because he is the soured
of all peace. He is the only, the all-sufficient and the inexhausti-
ble source of peace to angels throughout the universe, to the saints
made perfect in light, and to human beings upon the earth.
Secondly^ God is the God of peace, because he alone secures peace
to any of his creatures. As he is its source, so he is the author of
it in others, wherever it is found. He originates it in created mind,
and cultivates it, and preserves it as the "Prince of peace." And
thirdly, he is the God of peace, because he takes infinite delight in
its exhibitions among all Who serye him, on earth or in heaven.
"And the God of love and peace shall be with you."
1. He will bless his Church with the indwelling of his Soly
Spirit. The Spirit delights to abide with them who love one an-
other. " The fruit of righteousness is sown in peace, of them
that make peace." The cultivation of the graces of religion is im-
peded by divisions, "for where envy and strife is, there is con-
fusion and every evil work." The Spirit has often been grieved
away by the absence of love among brethren. He has been
quenched in the hearts of individual telievers, in the circle of the

household, and in the sanctuary of the Most High. Oh, hovf* often
have revivals of religion been hindered or arrested by some rising
jealousy, or disaffection, or disagreement 1 How often have meet-
ings of Presbyteries, and Synods, and General Assemblies, beeti
deprived of the presence and grace of the Holy Spirit, by ill-tem-
pered zeal, and unfratcriial conduct I If we would enjoy the pre-
sence of the God of grace, we liinst "endeavour to keep the unity
of the Spirit in the bond of peace."
2. Again, " the God of love and peace will be with you," to en-
large the prosperity of the Church in his providence. The Church
makes the greatest progress in times of inward peace. When all
her members love one another, see eye to eye, and work hand to
hand ; when prayer and supplication are united and fervent ; when
there is no division in doctrine or policy, and no alienation among
her niembers, then her records show a power of advancement un-
known to the evil times of discord.
With continued unity and peace in our councils, our Church,
which is the largest national Church in the land, will go onward,
with increasing prosperity, to win souls to Christ, and bring na-
tions to the obedience of the faith. "Peace be within thy walls,
and prosperity within thy palaces."
8. Once more, " the God of love and peace will be with his lov-
ing disciples, to crown them with salvation in his ghry,^^ "The
meek will he beautify with salvation." The unity and peace of
earth shall end in the large rewards of heaven. Our blessed Lord,
in his last prayer, had in special view two things : the unity of
his Church in its estate below, and its glory in the world above.
Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with
me where I am, that they may behold my glory^ which thou hast
given me."
Fathers and brethren of the General Assembly, I claim your in-
dulgence before closing this discourse, whilst I appeal, in behalf of
unity and peace, in the name of the faithful dead in Jesus Christ,
who have gone to slefep since our meeting last year in Lexington.
They have done with all the labours, strifes, temptations, and care»
of earth. They have gone up to " the General Assembly and Church
of the first born, whose names are written in heaven." The vener-
able form of Father Moody, saint-like and lamb-like, will never
more bless his brethren among the springs of Pebnsylvania. Auld,
of Florida, gifted in mind and heart, and abundant in missionary
labours, even to the overburdening of a frail frame; his body shall
yet be full of vigour, and his crown wear the evergreen of heaven.
Shannon, of Ohio, earnest in life, was no less earnest to depart, and
to dwell beside the river that makes glad the city of our God. Fin-
ley, of Alabama, logical, candid, open-hearted, was wasted by dis-
ease, until his noble intellect became impaired; but he recovered
his reason in the very hour before his final departure, and soared
away into fulness of light. Edmunds, of New Jersey, youthfully
energetic, with all the clothing of aged humility, went away in the
vigour of years into the land where work is no • more toil. Dear

riot of Israel and the horsemen thereof I"
On Ganges' banks, " where every prospect pleases, and only man
is vile," behold a company of beloved missionaries awaiting death
with meek and undaunted spirit, before the double threatenings of
Brahma's vengeance, and the false prophet's curse. The serene dig-
nity of the disciples of the Lord in the hour of danger, exacts, as
with the authority of their King, forbearance from the wonted per-
sonal indignities. The last prayer is offered from submissive and
exultant hearts, and incense-like, it is wafted to heaven, whilst the
dark smoke of murderous musketry palls the dead bodies of Freb-
HAN, and Campbell, and MoMullin, and Johnson. Blessed fol-
lowers of the martyred Stephen! Before ye "fell asleep," saw ye
not " the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing at the right
hand of God?"
All these ministers of the Church, with a score of others, not less
faithful, who have died during the year, and whose memorials will
survive the scrolling up of time, admonish all of us, who remain,
of our duty and our doom — of the divine contingeneies, which, in
another year, may make as strange selections of death — unexpected
always to the living, but by God's grace, made welcome to the dying.
Fathers and brethren I Know we not that these departed servants
of Christ, could they return to earth, would "seek peace and pursue
it ?" Oh, how the visions of heaven nurture unity and love I Soon
our own earthly labours will end, and we be laid in the grave, with
guarded repose, until the resurrection. For us, pastoral relations,
Church Sessions, Presbyteries, Synods, and General Assemblies, will
very soon be no more. In the name of mortals ready to be trans-
figured into immortality, in the name of the spirits of just men made
perfect, in the name of the Mediator of the new covenant, the Lord
of all, " whose blood speaks better things than that of Abel," I be-
seech you to be united in the truth, and to love one another. "Be
of one mind, live in peace, and the God of love and peace shall be
with you."
After the Sermon, the Moderator proceeded to constitute the ses-
sions with prayer.

ment of its misaonary work at home and in heathen lands.

our whole country, in all the relations of its national and interna-
tional affairs. Adopted.
Overture, No. XVI. — A memorial from the Presbytery of Lodiana, asking the
General Assembly to recommend the first Monday of January next, as a day of spe-
cial prayer for the blessing of God upon Foreign Missions throughout the world.
The Committee submit the following resolution :
Resolved. — ^ITiat the Assemblv entertains an increasing conviction of the import-
ance of Foreign Missions, and of the close connection, under God, between prayer
and their success, and earnestly recommend to all their churches, the regular, conscien-
tious, and fervent observance of the monthly concerts for prayer.
Adopted.
Overture, No. XVTI. — A joint request from the Synod of Georgia and the
Presbytery of East Alabama, for the Assembly to attach to the Presbytery of East
Alabama, that portion of Florida within the bounds of the Synod of Georgia and
west of Holmes County, Florida.
The Committee recommend that the petition be granted. Adopted.
Overture, No. XV III. — An overture from the Synod of Illinois, in reference to
the transfer of the Theological Seminary of the Northwest^ located at Ghicafo, to
the control of the General Assembly ; said Synod agreeing to said transfer with cer-
tain stipulations.
The Committee submit the following resolutions :
Resolved, 1. — That inasmuch as only one Synod has given notice to the Assembly
of a desire to transfer to the Assembly the control of the Theological Seminary of the
Northwest, located at Chicago, and inasmuch as it requires a constitutional majority
of the Synods now having the control of said Seminary, to bring the matter within
the jurisdiction of the Assembly, it is judged not to be expedient to take any action
at the present time.

The Committee on Judicial Cases, Bev. Gbobgb Howe Chair*
man, reported the following, viz :
Judicial Case, No. 1. — ^The complaint of Rev. James F. Fisher against the ac-
tion of the Synod of Albany, in the case of Rev. George H. Thatcher. The Albany
Fresbytery allowed Mr. Thatcher to demit the office of the gospel ministry, of
which complaiot was made to the Synod, in 1856, by Mr. Fisher. This complaint
was sustained, but no copy of it appears on record, and the Svnod did not, in sus-
taining the complaint, make any order to Fresbytery as to what disposition they
should make of Mr. Thatcher ; but no protest was entered against this action, nor
any complaint taken to this body at that time. At Synod, in 1867, a memorial was
presented from Albany Fresbytery, asking Synod to define their action in the case,
which memorial was laid on the table. Tne complaint before ns purports to lie against
this latter action, vet it is entitled " a complaint of the action of Synod in the case of
Bev. G. H. Thatcher," and all the reasons of complaint are aimed agarost that action.
The Committee recommend that case he dismissed, for these reasons :
1. The complainant f&iled to make bis complaint at the proper time.
2. The case, being once adjudicated, should not be revived on a
simple memoriaL 8. Even if the Assembly were disposed to enter-
tain the complaint, no right decision could be had, as neither the
complaint which the Sjnoa sustained, nor the records of the Presby-
tery are to be had here. The report of the committee was con-
curred in and the case dismissed.
Judicial Gasb, No. II. — ^This was called an appeal, taken by the Presbytery of
Easkaskia from the decision of the Synod of Illinois, in the case of the complaint of
Bev. J. Staflbrd and others, against the Fresbytery, for refusing to receive a church
organized at Trenton.
The Committee believed that the act referred to was not judicial,
but administrative, and considered it rather a case of complaint than
of appeal, and therefore recommended that it be so issued.
E. T. Baird moved that this case cannot be tried as an appeal,
and that the appeal be dismissed. The motion was carried ; Thomas
W. Hynes, in behalf of himself and others, giving notice that he
protested against this action.
Judicial Oasb, No. III. — The complaint of E. N. Sawyer and others, against the
decision of the Synod of Chicago, in the case of 0. W. Hoagland. Mr. lloagiand
had been summoned to appear before his session, on the chai^ of prevarication.
After the session had begun the trial, they referred it to Fresbvtery, who decided
that there was no valid ground of accusation against him. Appeal was taken to th«

SyDod of Chicago, who confirmed this decision. An appeal was dow taken to the
Aiasembly, but the Committee report the case as being falleo from, as the complain-
ants have Cfiiled to appear and prosecate their complaint.
They recommend that the complaint be dismissed, and that Mn
Hoagland be considered as entitled to all his former rights and
privSeges in the Church of Hopewell. The report was adopted.
Judicial Cask, No. IV. — ^The appeal and compUiint of Rev. Robert Fmley and
Smith Bloomfieldy against the Synod of New Jersey, for their action touching the
afiairs of the Second Church in Woodbridge, N. J. K. J. Breckinridge was allowed,
at the request of Rev. Robert Finley, to aid him in conducting his cause ; and James
Hoge and Nathaniel Hewit were allowed, at the request of Myron Barrett, to aid
him in the absence of two other members of a Committee appointed by the Synod
of New Jersey, to defend the Synod in this case. The Assembly took up the busi-
nesfi, as recommended by the Judicial Committee. The ninates of the Presbytery
of ElinbethtowD were read, in everything pertaining to the case, nntil it was carried
bjy appeal to Synod of New Jersey. The parties in the case being called, R J. Brecken-
ndge was heard in behalf of Robert Finlev. A question arose when he concluded,
respecting the original parties — ^whether the Presbytery of Elisabethtown or the
Synod of New Jersey diould be regarded as the other party ; upon which the Mo
derator decided that the action of the Assembly, in allowing James Hoge and Na-
thaniel Hewit to take the place of absent members of the Connnittce appointed by
Synod of New Jersey, did virtually recognize Synod as the party to be heard at this
stage of the proceedmgs. N. Hewit was excused from assisting the Committee, and
James T. English allowed to take his place. Rev. Messrs, English and Barrett then
3K)ke in defence of the Synod, then Rev, James Hoge on the same side, and R J.
reckenridge in defence of the appellants, and then the parties all withdrew. The
poll was called, and the final vote taken ; 84 voted to sustain ; 24 to sustain in part ;
and 30 not to sustain ; 2 were ezcused from voting.
A Committee of seven were appointed to bring in a minute, ex-
pressing the sense of the Asaembly in this decision. They reported
accordingly. B. M. Palmer moved to lay the report on the table,
for the purpose of considering a substitute, which he read. His
paper is as follows, viz :
This General Assembly sustains the appeal and complaint of Robert Fmley and
Smith Bloomfield, against the Synod of New Jersey. In this decision, it is not in-
tended to censure the eourts below for want of zeal and faithfulness in doing accord-
ing to their best iudgment what the case required. Much less is it intended to i^
verse, in form, what has been done in the case of Mr. Finley, so as to restore him to
bis pastoral relation in the Second Church of Woodbridge ; for this would not only be
impracticable, in the circumstances, as they now exist, but inexpedient, even if it were
Sracticable. But the Presbytery of Elizabeth town erred in attempting too much to
irect and control the action of that seflsioD, interfering without being called to do
so, according to the forms of our constitution ; in arresting the proeess of discipline, be-
fore it had been iBsued, while the session were pursning it in an orderly manner ; Mid
in dissolving the pastoral relation upon the mere prnmnption of a majority of the
people desiring it, without the regular application of either party ; thus making what
th^ judged a necessity in the case, of more tmportanoe than the forms of the constitution.
The Synod of New Jersey erred, not only in sostaining the action of the Presby-
tery in this case, but also in refusing to entertain as an appeal the remedy sought bj
a party, who was both iiHnred anl aggrieved by said action of the Fresbytery.
Hie original report was laid on the table, and this report adopted as a minute of the
Assembly, by a vote of 80 to 47. John H. Bioe kA othere entered their dissent
on the minutes, as follows :
The undersigned dissent from the vote of the General Assembly, ossigniDg leasont
for the decision in the case of the appeal of the Rev. Robert Finley, because in their

ICsrrstibt of i\t ^hit of ^tligion.
Rev. L. J. Halsey, Chairman of the Committee on the Narrative,
made the followitig report, which was adopted, and sent out to the
churches under the care of the Assembly.
Ilie General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Ihe United States, met in the
city of New Orleans, is once more permitted, with the most profound and grateful
acknowledgments to God for his mercies, to greet all under its care and supervision,
with another annual narrative of tiie state of religion.
One hundred and seventeen Presbyteries have sent up reports on the work of the
Lord within their bounds during the past year; and from a careful examination of these,
we are enabled now to send back to the churches, for their information and encourage-
ment, the following condensed statement of what the Lord, in his infinite and ama-
zing grace, has done for us and for our people, since the meeting of the lost Assembly.
ft is manifest, on the very face of these reports, that it has been a memorable
year in Zion— a year of the right hand of the most High. It has been a year of
great awakening in our churches — a year of refreshing influences from the presence
of the Lord. " The Lord bath visited and redeemed his people." ^ The Lord hath
done great things for ns, whereof we are glad." It has been a year marked by unu-
sual peace, concord, unanimity, co-operation, and brotherly kindness among our
churcnes ; unusual encouragement, fidelity, zeal, and success in all the labours of our
ministry. It has been a year in which all the great charities and enterprises of the
Church have moved steadily and successfully forward. And notwithstanding the
Digitized by

commercial rereraeB which at one time visited onr coantry, and the sad difastere
which fell upon a portion of our foreign field, still of our Zion it may be said* that we
have had ^ peace within her walls, and prosperity in all her palaces." The great
majority of reports comiDgnp to us from all parts of our vast domai]>— the l^rth,
the South, the East, the West — open with ascriptions of humble yet adoring love
and thanksgiving to the great Head of the Church, for this wonderful manifestation
of his presence and power.
1. A small number of oar Presbyteries— very small, as compared with the
whole, — ^have no glad tidings to report. The cloud of gracious visitation which has
overshadowed our land, seems not as yet to have reached them. Th^ speak of cold-
ness and discouragement within ; of prevailing worldliness and iniquity without
And yet these reports come to us breathing the spirit of prayer ; burthened with
the most earnest longings for a better state of thinss ; full of expressions of faith and
hope in God. and of strong determination to cry aloud, and spare not— holding forth
the word of life until the Lord shall appear for their help.
2. Tbe second, and a much larger division of these reports, embraces all those
Presbyteries in which thdre has been a gradual and most marked increase of activitv
in tbe churches during the year, and especially the latter portion of it They speak
of the williogness of the people to hear the gospel, of growing attendance on all the
means of grace, of new life and zeal in the eldership, and of constant accessions to the
membership of the churches ; but yet without such marked manifestations of the
Spirit's power as usually attend revivals.
In all these Presbyteries, the work of the Lord in the conversion of sinners, the
edification of saints, and the training of the lambs of the fiock, seems to have gone
steadily forward, widening and deepening in interest to the very close of our year,
lliey tell us with grateful hearts, how the gospel has been preached, as with a new
unction from on high ; how the children and youth of their charges have been cared for
and instructed in catechetical and Bible classes ; how the cdoured people at the
South are receiving the fostering care of our churches ; how the Sabbatn-scnool cause
has been sustained ; how feeble churches have been strengthened, pastoral relations
cemented, backsliders reclaimed ; how systematic benevolence, church extension, and
all the Boards of the Assembly have been steadily growing in favour with the people.
3. But another, and by &r the largest class of these reports, embracing m fact
about seventy Presbyteries, or nearly two-thirds of the whole number reported, bring
us the blessed and glorious tidings of deep and powerful revivals. They record the
signal and mighty operations of the Spirit of Gkd, poured out almost simultaneously
upon a vast multitude of our churches, covering an area almost as wide as our whole
domain. It is manifest that these teveaty Presbyteries, scattered in all parts of our
land, have been blessed with displays of the presence, power, and grace of the Holy
Ghost, to a degree which must render the latter portion of the vear for ever memo-
rable in our annals, as the era of a general and widespread awakening of the public
mind of our country to the great things of salvation.
In some of these reports this ^reat work is described as exceeding in power, and
in all its blessed infiuences, anything that the most aged servants of Goa had ever
witnessed before. It is invariably and universally represented as deep, solemn, and
silent ; unattended by any extravagances, excitements, or extraordinary measures ;
coming not by human might or power, but as by the still small voice of God's Spirit ;
coming as a direct answer to the prayers of his people, and in the regular faithful use
of all the appointed means of grace ; but chiefiy the preaching of the word and
prayer. Many of the Presbyteries were enjoying these seasons of refreshing at the
very date of their re]}orts, and some of them, where the interest had long existed,
speak of it as continuing with unabated power.
Among the pleasing results recorded in these reports, we must not fail to mention,
that the Lord has poured out his Spirit upon several of our Colleges, Schools, ana
Presbyterial Academies, and many of our beloved youth, both male and female, have
been led to seek and find an interest in the Saviour. Tliis has been the case, espe-
cially in Davidson College, N. C, in Oglethorpe University, Ga., in Hanover College,
Ind., in Washington and Jefferson Colleges, Pa., in Miami University, O., and in
Bichmond College, Mo.
One of the most remarkable features of this great awakening has been the disposi-
tion on the part of the people of God everywhere to gather together around the
throne of grace in the social prayer-meeting. Christians have loved to meet their

feDow-OhrigtiaiiB, of all evaogelScal dinrehes, in the house of prayer ; to lift up Che
yoioe of bow, of tbankflgiyin^, and of supplicatioD together, at morning;, noon, and
nigbt, arouDQ one common mercy-eeat ; wnilst men, nnosed to prayer have qoit the
biunnees of the world, saying, Come and let os go np to the house of the Lord.
Another remarkable featare, is the new seal and actrrity manifested on the part of
the rtlifig eldere and deacons of the churches, enabling them to uphold the hands of
the ministry, not only bv their prayers, but by their own efficient oo-operetion and
asnstanoe, m meetings for prayer and inquiry, in Bible classes, and especMy in
personal Tisitation ftim house to house.
And now, brethren betored in the Loid, mfnisters, ruling elders, and people of our
great charge, on an oceasion so extraordinary as this, and after such a reyiew of the
unspeakable mercies of God^ vouchsafed to us as a Church, we should fail to discharge
<rar high and solemn obligations, as the chief judicatory of the whole Church, if we did
not se^ to impress upon your mitads, however briefly, some of those great practical les-
sons which have been so deeply impressed upon our own, by the Lord's dealings with us.
1. The first relates to the manner m which this visitation has come ; showing
that the Head of the Church is the God that governs the world, and that he n
working aH thrags for her good. At the opening of the year there was a tide of
worlcBy prosperity in our land that threatened to enffulph all serious thoughts of
God and eternity. God laid his hand upon us, and &en there was a cry of alarm
and distress in all tiie walks of industry and labour, which caused men's hearts to fail
and turned their thoughts directly to God and another world. But as if this was
not enough, our Son was called to listen to a tale of horror, ooming across the wa-
ters from the graves of her martyred misskmariei, which fiRed all ms with tears, all
hearts with dismay. What was the (%«rch to do at such a time, her substance and
her sons destroyed abroad, and the arm of her power so crippled at home that die
seemed utterly unable to fill up the vacuum ? bhe could only do what she has ever
done in the hour of calamity— arise ^nd call mighttiv upon God. Tliis, by grace^
she was enabled to do ; and this great revival of her vital spirit is the result
Through the fires of affliction and disaster she was led to humiliation and repentance,
and stronger trust in God ; and by these to die blessings of his grace.
2. The next great lesson is derived from considering the means Whidi have been
used in all thu season of revival. They have been those, and those only, which God
has authorised in the Scriptures — earnest, importunate ^yer, the fhithfol preaching
of ffospel truth, the instruction of the youn^, pastoral visitation firom house to house,
ana steady perseverance in every work and labour of love. Never in tiie annals of
our Church has her ministry appeared more agreed and determined to know nothing
but Christ and him crucified ; to leave all human devices and inventions, and preacn
boldly and solely the grand dootrines of salvation as expounded in our Calvinistic
standards, whether men will hear or forbear to hear, than daring the past year. And
lo I what has God done T How has he rolled away our reproach, put honor upon the
preaching of the cross, and all the means of grace ; and made us feel, as by a public
deraoDStration from heayen, even by the descent of that same Spirit whicn was
poured upon the disciples on the day of Pentecost, tint this go^iel is the power of
Qod and the wisdom of God unto salvation to all thtst believe I
8. Once moreu What a lesson of encouragement for all the future does this record
of the past read to us I Is there any alignment for Christianity more powerful, any
evidence of piety more pleosmg, any motive to exertion more blessed and glorious,
than to feel diat the Lord God lias been with us ; has succoured us in distress ; has
heard our poor prayers ; has answered and blessed our unworthy labours ? But hun-
dreds of our ministers, thoumnds of our people, have had this testimony from God
during the past year. And we all have it toniay, as we send forth this annual narra-
tive. Let us then, with renewed nal, gird on the whole armour of the gospel for
Ibe eonfliots and the labours of another year ; feeling that no fhithful labour snail be
kst, and no praying breath spent in vaia In due season we shall reap, if we fhint not
With the most profound gratitude to God, we would record tiie feet, that this
year, which doses a century since the great re-union of 1758, has been marked as a
year of revivals. And now, as we enter the labours of a new century, we would hum-
bly commit ourselves and all our people to God.
Grace, meroy, and peace be multiplied to all, fWMn the Father, and the Son, and
the Holy Ghost, world widioat end. Amen.

Bev. D. X. JuNKiN, Chairman of the Committee on Systematic
Benevolence, submitted the following report :
Two distinct subjects have devolved upon this Committee.
Ist. The great subject directly appertaining to this Standing
Committee of the Assembly: and,
2d. The report of the Committee of the Trustees of the General
Assembly, for disbursing the money given for "disabled ministers
in need, and the needy widows and orphans of deceased ministers.*'
Upon the first mentioned subiect the Committee are gratified to be able to state,
that Ihe recommendations of the General Assembly have been regarded, with a good
degree of efficiency. Many Presbyteries have obeyed the injunctions of the Assem-
bly, and have taken order to bring the churches under their care to adopt regular
systems of making collections for our Boards, and to spread the scriptural principles
that lie at the foundation of Christian benevolence. It is evident from the reports
of these Presbyteries, that decided progress has been made, in diffusing right senti-
ments, in the inauguration of regular plana of benevolence, in the recognition of
contribution and distribution as part and parcel of practical religion, and in holding
the churches to such regular accountability as cannot fail to stimulate and encourage
the discharge of this part of Christian duty.
The Committee propose to the Assembly, the following deliver-
ance concerning the doctrine and duty of Christian stewardship :
1. Every man is a steward of Gk)d, in the use and mangement of the talents, time,
and substance which God has entrusted to him.
2. Under the command ? " Occupy till I come," the steward is bound to employ
the trust, be it ^at or small, for God's glory and the good of the world.
3. Contribution of our worldly substance for religious purposes, from religious
motives, and in a scriptural way, is a Christian duty, and is part of true piety, as
fully and completely as are praise, prayer, sacraments, or any other religious duty or
exercise. He who is not regularly a man of prayer, cannot be accounted a consis-
tent Christian, neither can he who is not regularly a man of beneficence.
4. Offerings of property to God for religious purposes, formed a large part of the
worship of the ancient Church. (Heb. ziii. 16.)
5. <* As God hath prospered" the donor^ so does he require hhn to give.
6. Contribution is a means of grace, as well as a part of practical piety, and
ought to be as regularly and systematically employed as any other means.
In view of these principles, therefore be it
Resolved, That this General Assembly do most eamestljr urge upon all the Pres-
byteries and Sessions, to persevere in their endeavours to inaugurate in all the con-
gregations such plans for systematic benevolence as may most effectively cultivate
and call into exercise the graces of giving ; striving to lead all, of every age and con-
dition, to attend as regularly to this part of piety as any other.
In regard to the other subject, the following is submitted:
1. That no scheme of beneficence more powerfullv appeals to the justice of the
Church than this, which aims to make provision for the necessities of ministers
disabled b;^ age or other infirmity, and for the needy widows and orphans of de-
ceased ministers.
2. ^rhe very nature and circumstances of the service to which the ministry of our
Church is called, prevent the ordinary possibility of their accumulating worldly sub-
stance against the day of sickness, age, or death : but it appears that very little
attention has been paid to the previous action of the General A^mbly upon this sub-
ject, therefore,
Resolved, That this General Assembly most earnestly requests Presbyteries and
church sessions to see to it, that in every chnrch a collection be made ever^ year for
this fund, and forwarded to the Treasurer of the General Assembljp at Philadelphia,
and that every minister be requested to present this cause to his charge, at least
once a year, and ask for the gifts of the people in aid of this fund.

Bey. B. J. Brbokinridob asked and obtained leave to offer the
following paper; and it was, on motion, adopted ananimously,
viz:
By a TOte of the GeDeral Assembly of 1857, an OTertore to that body, which is
printed in its Minates, pp. 35, 36, relating to the American Bible Society's new
standard English Bible, and to the best method of preserying, in its integrity, the
common version of the Bnglish Bible, was specially referred to the consideration of
the present Gksneral Assembly. During the y^r which has intervenedt the attention
of the Christian public has been diverted to this important subject in a very unusual
degree ; and so far as this Assembly has the means of judging, it is apparent that
the Presbyterian Church throughout the couutry is decidedly opposed to the line
of conduct in the premises pursued by the late Committee on Yersions of that So-
ciety, and to the circulation by that Society of their new standard English Bible.
It is therefore, matter of great satisfaction to this General Assembly, that the Direc-
tors of the American Bible Society have resolved to cease publishing and circulating
the aforesaid new standard Bible, and to resume the publication and circulation of the
standard English Bible in exclusive use by the Society before the hito work of collation
and change, commenced about the year 1847. We also cordially approve the further
action of the Board of Directors, so far as it secures a more vigilant oversight, in
future, of the work of its Committee on Versions, and prevente any future change,
either of the text or its accessories, without the carefm consideration and special
order of the Board of Directors. With regard to any change whatever, either m the
text of the English Version of the Bible, commonly called King James*s Version, or
in the accessories to that text as they were commonly printed at the formation of the
American Bible Society : we do not admit that the said Society has any power or
authority to make any alteration in said accessories or said text, except such as
appertain to a printer and not to an editor. By the text of King James's Version,
we do not mean a copy corrupted by errors and unauthorized changes — no matter
where that copy may have been printed, nor how those errors may have occurred, nor
who may luive ventured to make those changes; — ^but we mean the true text in
English, produced and published after the labours of the translators appointed by
King James the First of England, which for nearly two centuries and a half has been
the standard Bible of allpeople speaking the English language, and which the Pres-
byterian Church in the United States of America is resolved to preserve in its in-
tegrity and purity, and to use and circulate. Along with the greater portion of the
Christian public in this country, we have confided to the American Bible Society
the great work of circulating the English Scriptures, in the version in common use,
and while we deeply regret the serious error into which it was betrayed, its recent
action, in the premises, demands a cordial response from all the earnest supporters
of the great work in which it is engin^. In discharge, therefore, of our duty as the
Genenu Assembly of one branch of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, to which
he has committed his most blessed Word for the guidance and salvation of men, we
have made this deliverance. And upon the terms herein set forth, we reiterate our
approval of the principles upon whicn the American Bible Society was founded, our
desire to co-operate with our brethren of all Christian denominations, in united efforts
to furnish the whole world with the word of God, and our earnest recommendation
to our people to give liberally to the support of this good cause.
Rev. N. Hewtt, Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Corres-
pondence reported a letter from the President of the Synod of
the Free Church in France.
The letter is most afifectionate, expressing their congratulations
for our harmony and rapid growth ; and more especially with

thanksgiving and praise to the great Head of the Church, for the
remarkable outpouring of the Holy Ghost upon our Church, and
upon the evangelical churches throughout our land.
Also requesting this Assenbly to send a delegate to the next
jneeting of their Synod, at Yicau, in August next
Your Committee offer the following resolution, which was adopted:
Resolved, 1. That oar Moderator be requested to reply to the Presideot of the

Bev. D. MgKiknsy offered the fbllowing paper, which was
adopted:
Reaoiotd, 1. That the coantiet of Northaaqiton and Aeoomae in Ya., Worcester,
Somerset, Dorobetler, Talbot, Oaroline and Qneeo Anoe in Md., and Sussex in Del.,
be, and they hereby are, constituted the Presbytery of Lewes ; to which, with the
consent of the Presbytery of Newcastle, shall aho be added the county of Kent, ia
Bel. Said Preibytery to be attached to and Ibnn a part of the Synod of Baltimore.
Resolvedy 2. That said Presbytery hold its first meeting in the diurch of Lewea,
Sussex Co., Del, on the iltird Wednesday of Sept, 1858, and that Bev. A. a
Heaton, or the ddest minister present, preach the sermon, constitute the Presbytery,
and preside tiU a Moderator be chosen.
Rev. C. Yan Beksselakb, Chairman of the Committee in the
matter of the proposals made to this General Assembly, on behalf
of the United Dynod of the Presbyterian Chureh, lately constituted
in the State of Tennessee, reported. This General Assembly makes
the following deliverance :
1. The Committee appointed by the Synod of the United Presbyterian Churchy
has commnnicated to this Assembly the official action of the said Synod, settling,
on their part^ the " Terms of Union" deemed by them to be '^ indispensable f and the
Assembly ismformed, tbrou^ the pnUic presL of the contents of a paper adopted
by that Synod, and called, " A Deckuraiion of Principles," In the judgment of this
Assembly, those official papers do not afford a basis of conference, upon which this
Assembly is able to see that there is any prospect of advanciuff the interests of
Christ's kingdom in general, or those of the Presbyterian Churda in the United
States, or thoee of the United S^od of the Presbyterian Church, in particular.
2. The Pretbyterian Church ra the United States of America has always received
frankly, and in Christiaa love, all churches, office-bearers, and private persons, of ail
denominations, making application for admission into her communion, upon the sin-
gle condition that they were like-minded with herself. At this time, ample provision
I made in her existing Acts and Ordinances for the reception of all such into her
communion, on terms and by methods precisely equivalent, and where it is possible,
identical with those provided with regard to her own children, reared in ner own
bosom. Seeing that it was in a voluntary secession from the Presbyterian Church,
that the present difficulties of the United Synod of the Presbyterian Church had
their origin, and that the door has always been open for the orderly return of such
of thoee who left us, as were like-minded with us, it can hardly be unexpected that
we decline any official conference, based on terms which appear to us to involve a
condemnation of ourselves, and a renunciation of the rich and peculiar favour of God
upon us, in the very matters which led to their secession from onr Church twenty
yean ago.

3. With reference to the recent schism in the New-school Presbyterian body, this
General Assembly does not see in that event, or in anything which has hitherto re-
sulted from it, any call of Providence for the Presbyterian Church to take any new
slep whatever, either with the view of union, or that of closer intercourse than now
exists, with either of the parts into which that body is now divided. The subjects
upon which the whole New-school body differed from us at the period of their separa-
tion from us, and the subject upon which the two very unequal portions of that body
have recently separated from each other, are questions upon which we, as a denomina^
tion, are at peace ; and with regard to the whole of which we see no occasion to revise
the constant and unalterable faith of our Church, or to enter into fruitless conferences.
It was then ordered, that a copy of this minute, duly certified by the Moderator,
be communicated to the Stated Clerk, or the Committee of this United Synod.
On motion of Rev. John Jonbs, Overture No. 20, referred by
the last General Assembly, was taken up, and the following resolu-
tion adopted :
Resolved, That the Overture from the Genessee River Presbytery, calling attention
to the general law, under which most of the churches of the State of New York are
incorporated, and referred by the last Assembly to a Committee to report to this
Assembly, be again referred to the same Committee, substituting the name of Mr.
£. B. Miller for that of Mr. Putnam.
J. Eagleson, from the Committee to whom was referred the re-
port of the Committee of Conference, in relation to a closer union
with the Associate Reformed Synod of the South, reported the fol-
lowing resolutions, which were adopted unanimously, after another
brief address from the Eev. J. M. Young, delegate of that body, viz:
Resolved, 1. Iliat the fidelity of the Committee be approved, and that it be con-
tinned, with the addition of Messrs, J. Johnson, T. Hoyt, T. L. McBride, and J. H.
Thorn well, said Committee to report to the next Assembly.
Resolved, 2. That it be recommended to all, and especially our ministers and church-
es in the South, to circulate, for examination and use, the Psalms in metre, accord-
ing to the version used in the Church of Scotland.
On motion, the thanks of (he Assembly were voted to C. Van Rensselaer, for the
address delivered in accordance with the order of the last Assembly ; a copy was re-
quested for publication, and it was committed to the Board of Publication, to pub-
lish the address in a- book, containing, with the address, the whole record of proceed*
ings respecting this occasion. Also to Rev. B. C. De Lancy, Chairman of the
Committee of Arrangements, for his generous and successful efforts in securing from
so many steamboats and railroad companies free return tickets for tlie members of
this body. Also to the citizens of New Orleans, for their kindness and hospitality to
the members of this Assembly.
Also to the Hon. Mayor of the city, for his great courtesy in the efforts he has
made to keep our place of meeting free from molestation, by the ordinary noises of
the street. Also to the Mercantile Library Association of the city of New Orleans,
and. the Toung Men*s Christian Association, for the hospitalities of their Halls, and
the free use of their Libraries and News-rooms.
Also to the editors and reporters of the daily press of this city, for the exceedingly
&ithful reprts which they have published of our proceedings.
On motion of James Hoge, the minutes were read and approved. And it was then
Resolved, That this General Assembly be now dissolved ; and that another General
Assembly, choeen in like manner, be required to meet in the citv of Indianapolis, In-
diana, in the Third Presbyterian Church, on the third Thursday of May, 1859, at
eleven o'clock, A. M.
Closed, May 18th, with singing, prayer, and the apostolic benediction.

In presenting their Fifty-sixth Annual Beport to the General
Assembly, the Board of Domestic Missions feel that they have great
cause for gratitude and praise to Almighty God for the signal fa-
vours shown to them during a year, in which our country suffered
an extraordinary commercial and financial revulsion, rendering
thousands bankrupt, and reducing hundreds of thousands of opera-
tives to actual want. At the commencement of this sudden and
violent monetary crisis, the treasury of the Board was nearly ex-
hausted. As our fiscal year progressed, however, we were gradually
relieved by the liberal contributions of individuals and churches.

During the year the Board have established new miflsioos in yarions sections of
onr country, as well in larger cities and towns as in smaller villages aod rural districts.
They have also, to the extent of their ability, re-inforced onr mi^onaries in the new^
States and Territories. Two missionaries have been added to the number in Oalifoi^
nia, aod one in Oregon, aod arrangements have bees made to send an additional mis-
sionary to the Territory of Washington.
One has laboured among the French, two among the Welsh, and eighteen amonff
the Germans. Seven of our missionaries have kboared chiefly among the coloured
people. Duriyg the year, thirty-five of onr missionaries have been oommiasiooed and
employed as itineranis.
Rev. D. M'KiNNET, Chairman of the Committee, offered the fol-
lowing resolutions, which were adopted by the General Assembly;
Resolved, 1. That the deepest gratitnde of this Assembly is due to God for his good-
ness, in that, during a year of great financial embarrassment, he has disponed and
enabled' his people to supply the wants of the Board ; making the period to close hap-
pily, with an increase of fands and labourers.
Retolved, 2. That the Assembly reioioe in the increase of contributing churches ;
and now cherish the hope that, by one effort, all nay ultimately be induced to da
their part in the work.
R^ved, 3. That this Assemblv give devoat thanks to Qad for the outpouring of
his Spirit upon our missionary churches, in common with other portions of his be-
loved Zion.
Resotned, 4. That while the Board have prudently made thehr appropriations,
still the want of funds is such, and the demands upoo the treasaiy are so great and
numerous, that there is a large amount of work needed which can scarcely be at-
tempted. The Assembly hence reflnret that there should be need for an intimation in
the Board's Report, that possibly there are churches receiving aid which ooght to be
self-sustaining, and others receiving more help than is really necessary. It is, there*
fore, earnestly recommended to Presbyteries to look into this subject, and to use aH
possible caution in presenting churches for aid ; and also, when practicable, to unite
several small churches in one charge ; and thus save men and money for use in other
parts of the field.
Resolvedy 5. That the magnitude of the cause, the adaptation of the Prasbvlerian
Church to a successful work in every part of the country, aod the calls for kboor-
ers, multiplying with the country's increase, demand of the Assembly new efforts to
enlarge their contributions of both men and meana The field is the world ; but the
part of the field specially entrusted to this Church's care, comprises the States and
Territories where God has given her a being.
Risolvedy 6. That the Assembly is pleased with the efforts of the Board to in-
crease the number of itinerating labourers, believing that the qntem may be extended
to the great advantage of sparsely settled districts.
Resolved, 7. That the failure of nearly one-third of the missionaries to send in a
special report for the use of the Assembly, is to be deeply regretted ; and that they
be urged, hereafter, to promptitude and punctuality.
Reeved, 8. That in view of the many demands upon the treasury, and also of the
happy working and bright prospects of the scheme of Systematic Benevolence, the
Assembly suggest to the Board the propriety of considering the question, whether
the services of an Associate Secretary might not be dispensed with, and the amount
of the salary of the office saved : whilst the Assembly cherish full confidence and re-
gard for the brother now holding this appointment

The Report discasses ihe eausa of anxiety to voung tnm and candidates who think
of entering on the work of the ministry. 1st. llie want of sufficient piety. 2d. The
want of sufficient erklences of a divine call to the work of the ministry. 3d. Hie want
of pecuniary means. 4th. Advanced age, beyond the usual period. 5th. lU health.
6th. Defectiveness of early education. 7th. A profession in life already selected and
entered upon. 8th. The scanty salaries of ministers. 9th. The opposition of rela-
tives and friends. 10th. The want of natural ability. 11th. Obscure birth in a low
condition of life. 12th. The ministry is too vast a profession.
These various topics are discussed with the purpose of removing the objections and
anxieties of candid and inquiring minds. Throughout the whole discussion the Board
not only assume, but lay stress upon the following propositions : 1. The individual pos-
sesses, in other respects, the qualifications requisite for making a useful minister. 2. The
Holy Spirit can alone give a call to the work. 3. The standard of mental and moral
requirement, prevalent in the Presbyterian Church, is not intended to be lowered by
the arguments and incidents herein stated, but, on the contrary, the age demands
higher qualifications than any preceding one.

Rev. J. E. Rockwell, Chairman of the Committee, presented tbe
following resolutions, which were adopted :
Resolved, 1. That the General Assembly record with profound gratitude to God,
the abundant tokens of the Divine, blessing which have attended the efforts of the
Board of Education to introduce young men into the ministry, and to aid in the
religions instruction of our children and youth, as seen in the unfaltering attachment
of our Church to the cause, manifested even during a period of commercial disaster,
in the numbers who have already been assisted to enter the Gospel ministry, the en-
larged number of institutions for Christian education, and the special influences of the
Spirit of God, which have been poured out upon many of the colleges and schools under
the care of this Assembly, or in connection with -Synods and Presbyteries of our church.
Resolved, 2. That the field which now lies before oar beloved church, demanding,
as it does, a vast increase of ministers of the word, calls for earnest prayer to the
Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest ; and that the
Assembly, while they trust that the cause will be daily remeihbered by the people
of God, recommend the last Thursday of Februarv as a dav of special and united
prayer for the outpouring of the Spirit upon oar colleges and seminaries of learning.
Keaoioed, 3. That in view of the great work which Christ has laid upon his
Church, to preach the Gospel to every creature, it be earnestly enjoined on pastors
to set before youth of piety and promise, the question of their responsibilities in this
matter ; and to endeavour so to direct and assist them, as that there shall be an in-
crease of candidates for the Gospel ministry, in some measure proportioned to the
growing demands of the Church and tbe world.
Resolved, 4. That this Assembly earnestly urge parents to oonsecrate their children
to the work of extending the kingdom of the Saviour in the earth ; train them for it,
and, when prepared to enter upon the work, cheerfully to give them up to go wher-
ever God, in his providence, may call them.
Resolvedy 5. That the last Thursday in February next be observed as a ^ay of
prayer for the children and youth, especially those collected in academies, colleges,
and seminaries, whether at home or in the foreign field.
R^olved, 6. That the present gratifying condition of the treasury of the Board
encourages this Assembly to believe that tbe churehes are impressed with a sense
of the duty of providing for tbe liberal support and maintenance of indigent yoong
men desirous of entering the Gospel ministry, and authorizes a renewed invitation ta
such to enter upon the studies necessary to fit them for the duties of such office, with
the confident assurance of being sustained by the churches, through this Board

Missions among the Indian Tribes. — Among the Ghippewas and Ottawas, Omaha^
Ottoes, lowas, Eickapoos, Greeks, Seminoles, Ghickasaws. and Ghoctaws, there are
fifteen ministers, one of whom is an Indian ; fifteen male, and forty-nine female assistant
missionaries, and nine Indian assistants ; 570 communicants ; 272 boys and 254 girb
Id boarding-schools, besides some scholars in day-schools.
Missions in Africa. — At three places In Liberia, at Settra Kroo, and at three sta-
tions on Goriflco, there are nine ministers, eight male and eight female assistant mi»>
nonaries, and three native assstants ; 1 46 communicants ; 58 boys and 16 girls In
boarding-schools, and 136 boys in day-schools.
Missions in India. — Sixteen stations are under the care of the Board in the north,
western part of this country ; twenty-four ministers, two of whom are Hindus ; one
male ana eighteen female assistant missionaries. Gwing to the calamitous events de-
scribed in the Rej)ort, as connected with the mutiny of the Sepoys, the statistics can-
not be reported with accuracy, and the Board forbear to dwell on the details of tliese
deeply afflicting events, inasmuch as they have been widely made known to the Ghris-
tian public ; yet there is but little else to be reported. The heavy IO0 of mission
property, the trials of the native converts, and the martyrdom of the Rev. Messrs.
John E. Freeman, David E. Gampbell Albert G. Johnson, and Robert McMullin,
and their wives.
The particulars communicated in their letters during the period of great excitement
before they left the place, show that their minds were kept in peace. For more than
two weeks they lived in daily apprehension of their immediate and violent death, but
it is delightfully evident that they were supported and comforted by the presence of
the gracious Saviour.
Mission in Siam. — ^In connection witb this mission there are four ministers, three
assistant missionaries, and one native assistant ; 47 scholars are reported in the board-
ing-school.
Missions nr Ghina. — At Macao, near Ganton, Shanghai, and Ningpo, there are
fourteen ministers, three male, and fifteen female assistant missionaries, and ten native
assistants ; 58 communicants ; 31 boys and 63 girls in boardiiig^chools, besides some
scholars in day-schools.
MnsiONS in South AmuoAw-^At Buenos Avres there is one minister, and at Bo-
gota one minister. Another minister and his wife are ready to embark for the latter
field.

Bev. B. L. Stanton, Chairman, reported thefoUow^ing resolutions,
which were adopted :
Resolved, I. That we are eaHed upon aa a Obnrcb, to record oar especial thanks-
givings to God for the favour which be has shown us in this department of the labour.
1. In that, in the midst of an unparalleled monetary disaster, the receipts of our For-
eign Board have been larger than in any former year. 2. In that, while his hand
has been laid heavily upon us in the melancholy death of our beloved brethren in In-
dia, the same hand has beep stretched out for the deliverance of the great body of our
missionaries and their families ;— and 3. In that the salutary effect upon the people at
large of the death of those who have fallen victims to Mohammedan and Pagan cruel-
ties, in awaking the Church to deeper humiliation, and more earnest prayer for Zion's
increase, has so signally illustrated a proverb of primitive times, that *^ the blood of
the martyrs is the seed of the Church.**
Resolvedj U. That while we are encouraged by the continued liberality of the peo-
ple in their contributions to Foreign Missions, we feel called upon to admonish the
Churches to make even mater sacrifices in this regard, in view of two important
considerations, presented in the Annual Beport of the Board, viz : — 1. That they
may repair the ^p-eat losses sustained in the destruction of the mission property in In-
dia, amounting tn the aggregate to $150,000, only $25,000 of which have been re-
funded by an assessment of the British government upon the city of Lodiana, under
circumstances, however* which do not apply to any other case ;— and 2. That the Board
may promptly enter ** the new fields for missionary enterprise, in portions of the earth
heretofore inaccessible."
Resolved, III. That we highly approve of the action of the Board in giving the
" Foreign Missionary" gratuitous circalation in all our Sabbath-schools, which make
contributions to the Board ; and that all church sessions be, and they are hereby recom-
mended to aid in this work, that the children of the entire Church may early become
interested in the Foreign Missionary cause, and be trained in the duties oi an active
Christian charity.
Resolved, lY. That the great loss of property sustained by our Board in the Sepoy
revolt, is no discouragement to our future work in India, and that it is the manifest
duty of the Church at once to repair these desolations ; and with this view, while, as a
general rule, we should rely upon the regular and steady rather than special contribu-
tions to all our Boards, the General Assembly, under Uie peculiar circumstances of
the present case, eamestl^r urge upon the churches, and in particular apon individuals
whom Qod has blessed with wealth, contributions to a special fund which the Board
is endeavouring to raise for this purpose, now amounting to over $18,000, which con-
tributions, however, should in no case interfere with the regular collections for the or-
dinary and progressive operations of the missionary work.

Rev. Wm. H. Mitohbll, Chairman, reported the following resolu-
tions, which were adopted :
Resolved, 1. That the Assembly recognizes and commends the Board as an efficient
and honoured instrumentality in counteracting the pernicious effects of a licentious
and corrupt literature ; and in disseminating through the waste places of our Ziou, the
seeds of sound theolocry and of vital piety.
Resolved, 2. That it is the subject matter for devout gratitude to Ood, that, al-
though within a year of unprecedented commercial embarrassment, the Lord put into
the hearts of the members of our churches, a spirit of more than ordinary benevolence ;
the amount of church collections for the colportage fund being larger than they had
been in any former year.
Jiestoilvedf 3. That it gives the Assembly pleasure to learn that the Board, as fast as
circumstances justify, are publishing evangelical works in the German language, suita-
ble to the wants of the German population.
Resolved, 4. That the humble and self-denying colporteur is doine God's work, and
deserves the sympathies of Qod's people ; and that, as he visits from house to houi<e the
Lord's poor, with Christ's love in his heart, and the books of the Board in his hand,
he is aiding the missionary of the cross in diffusing Christian light and knowledge,
where darkness and ignorance prevail.
Resolved, 5. That the Assembly earnestly urges on the churches the importance of
increasing their contributions to colportage, in order to enable the Board not only to
pay off the arrears which during the past year necessarily accrued, but also to ex-
pand its operations in a degree commensurate with the demands of the Church.
Resolved, 6. That the Assembly expresses its heartfelt gratification at the laudable
and successful efforts which the Board has made to publish works for Sunday-school
libraries ; and that this body, believing, as it does, that the books published are ad-
mirably adapted to the wants of children, would impress on the minds of ministers and
members, that it is their duty to purchase and circulate the books of the Board rather
than those published by any societies not connected with our beloved Church ; and
that whenever Sabbath-schools have funds to expend for the purchase of libraries to
present to feeble churches in various parts of the land, the Board should have a deci-
ded preference.
%\t CBmmtntsri 011 i\t Stt^iuxts.
B. J. Brsckinridgs offered the following resolutions which, on
motion of C. Yak Bsnssslasr, were referred to the next Assembly:
Inasmuch as the want of a sound, godly, and thorough Commentary upon the whole
word of God, composed in the sense of the constant faith of the Church of God, as

thai M briefly set forth in the 8t«ndard8 of the Westminster Ajsembly, hdd by die
Presbyterian Church in the United States of America, has long been felt to be a
grievous want, whereby a great lack of due service to God and to his truth occurs,
and whereby constant danger arises to men of needless ignorance on one side, and of
dangerous misguidance on the other : Therefore, be it
Resolvedf By the General Assembly, that the Board of Publication shall, and it is
hereby directed to proceed, with ail convenient dispatch, to have such Commentary
composed, prepared for the press, and published. And in the execution of this great
work, the following rules and orders, together with such further as may be adopted
from time to time by the General Assembly, shall be carefully observed by the Board
of Publication, and by all others in any way engaged in the execstion of any part
thereof:
1. The Commentary shall be prepared exclusively by members of this Church.
And in the preparing of it, they shall have all such indulgence, as to time, as they
shall ren)ectively demand. And for their compenj«tion, they and their heirs, for the
legal period of twenty-eight years, shall receive a fair per centum on the price of the
work sold, which shall be settled in advance by tlie Board of Publication, and which
shall be uniform, and in lien of all claim and cost of every sort in ^ny way connected
with their said work.
2. The said Commentary shall be fitted for common use by aR men, and in the
preparation of it, free use may be made of all materials that may exist, the design
being to produce, not so much what mav be original, as what may be best, in the
way of enlightening and saving men. It shall not be prolix, but so arranged that the
whole may bo embraced in five or six royal octavo volumes, of good print, containing,
besides the Commentary, the English text in full, together with the usual accessories
thereof, and such other suitable helps to its understanding as plain people need. And
the text used in it shall be strictly that of the version prepared by the translators ap-
pointed by James the First, King of England.
3. In order to secure the fittest men for this great work, the Board of Publication
shall make special application to the several Synods of our Church at their next
stated meetings respectively ; and the said Synods shall, upon careful consideration,
nominate to the saia Board of Publication any number of tneir own members, not to
exceed five from any one Synod, of such as they shall consider qualified to undertake
the work. And the Board of Publication may add not more than five in addition to
the whole number thus nominated to it. And it shall communicate the list of names
thus obtained by sifting the Church, to the General Assembly, at its stated meeting
in May of next year ; making, at the same time, and from year to year thereafter,
report of its doings under and by virtue of this minute.
4. The General Assemblv of 1859 will take such further order in the premises,
especially with regard to the selection of persons out of the list communicated to it,
to the distribution of the work amongst them, and to all things needful for its effectual
prosecution, as shall seem most expedient.
The following resolution was adopted :
Whereas, Hymns No. 336 and No. 454, of the Assembly's coUeetion, are one and
the same, therefore,
Resolved, That the Board of Publication be authorized and directed to replace
Hymn No. 336 with some other, not now found in the book, of the same typographic
cal dimensions, and of evangelical sentiment and decided poetic merit.

Sixty-five churches received their appropriations during the year. The amount paid
to these churches is $21,342.53, which leaving out of view the special appropriations,
ther average two hundred and seventy-six dollars each.
Rkceipts and Expknditurbs. liie balance in the treasury, April 1, 1857, was
$8,63458. The receipts from April 1, 1857, to April 1, 1858, from all sources, were
$24,741.15, of which $14,341.48 was from churches, $9,094.50 from individuals, and
$253.18 from Sabbath-schools. The available resources of the year were therefore
$33,375.73.
The expenditures of the year were $24,384.03, leaving in the treasury, Aprfl 1.
1858, balance of $8,991.70.
The Church Extension Committee have continued to act in accordance with the
reconunendation of the last Qeiieral Assembly, iu reference to the cost of church edifices.
As nearly as can be ascertained, /orfy-«even of the seventy-six churches aided during
the last year, cost from $500 to $2.500 ; twenty-two cost from $2,500 to $5,000 ; and
seven over $5,000. Four of the seven appropriations to churches costing over $5,000»
were speciiJ appropriations.
In tne two and a half years the Committee have been fiiirly at work, they have made
appropriations to two hundred and five dififerent churches. One hundred and fifty-
three of these two hundred and five church buildings cost from $500 to $2,500 ;
thirty-nine from $2,500 to $5,000 ; and the other thirteen over $5,000. Five of the
thirteen were special appropriations.
The simple met that the cost of three-fourths of all the churches aided does not ex-
ceed $2,500, proves that the work of the Committee has been mainly among the pooTi
and in aid of those who are not extravagant in their desires.

A carefal analysis of the number of members in the two hundred and five churches
aided, shows that one hundred and sixty of them had from 3 to 60 members ; thirty-
nine from 50 to 100 ; and six over 100 members. One-half the whole number of
churches aided had less than 30 members.
In accordance with the recommendation of the General Assembly of 1856, the
Committee have continued to recognize the right of donors, whether churches or in-
dividuals, to say who shall be the recipients of their bounty. Contributions accompa-
nied by directions as to the channels in which they shall flow, are entered by the
Treasurer as special donations, and appropriated by the Committee according to tba
directions received. Such appropriations are termed special,
AcnoK OF THS General Assbmblt op 1858 on thi subject of Church Exteksiov.
B. J. Breceinridgb, Chairman, reported the following resolutions,
which were unanimoysly adopted:
1. lliat the Church Extension Committee appears to have conducted the great
interest committed to them by the Assembly, with diligence and fidelity ; and the
Lord has blessed and prospered them, for which thanks are due to his blessed name.
2. Inasmuch as the work of building houses of worship over a region so immense
and so diversified as that covered thinly by the Presbjrterian Church, presents diffi-
culties BO various in their nature, as to render it impossible to give specific directions
concerning them ; the General Assembly exhorting the Committee to press forward
in the important work, and exhorting the churches to contribute liberally to it, con-
tents itself with the general authorization to the Committee to prosecute it in such
manner as its own increasing experience, and the continual indications of Providence,
shall satisfy them is most wise and effectual, diffusing their aid impartially through-
out the Church.
3. Such of our congregations as have insufficient accommodations for public worship^
are exhorted, according to their means, to provide themselves with good and perma-
nent places for the public worship of God ; such as have none of their own, are ex-
horted to make vigorous efforts to provide themselves with them, this being the form
of christian eflbrt, especially in neighbourhoods where we have no stated place of
worship, towards which those without are usually most disposed to contribute.
4. All our congregations in country places, and especially those in new settlements,
are exhorted to make provision, where it is possible, of suitable and sufficient grounds
for a school for their children, a home for tneir minister, and a burial place ror their
dead, all convenient to their place of worship ; and in all these necessary matters se-
cured while the land is still low priced. Let all parsimony be avoided, and due care
be taken to secure Uieir titles alike against future disputes, and future injury to the
cause of truth. And thus laying sure foundations, they may act as becomes those who
trust God and build for many generations.
5. Seeing the vast extent of the land yet to be possessed, the almost indispensable
necessity of a sufficient place of worship to the nermanent establishment of a congre-
gation, and the great and constant blessing or God upon our Church in all its en-
deavours, it becomes all our ministers and people, whose lot is so cast as to enable
them to sciTe the Lord in this way, to use a wise forecast in the matter of obtaining,
as fur as may be necessary, in good time, such necessary sites for church buildings,
both in towns and in country places, as will facilitate the constant extension of Uie
Church, and its firm establishment in every quarter of the country.

The Professors reported to the Board, that the religious life of the students, as far as it
has come under their observation, has been exemplary, llie customary religious meet-
ings have been maintained with usual frequency, and with apparent devotion. The
interest in the work of foreign missions has been more marked than ordinary, and several
are expecting to engage personally in labours amon^ the heathen.
At the close of the session, the students were examined, for nearly a week, in presence
of a Committee of the Board.

From the Librarian*8 Report it appears there have been added to the h'brary throaph
the year, by donation, 531 volunes, aod by purchase, 1 volume ; making the entire
namber of volumes now in the library, 14,661.
The Presbyterian Board of Publication h%ve presented 47 volumes of their ismes ;
the Smithsonian Institution their last Report, and the last volume of their Contribu-
tions to EnowleiLre ; Rev. Dr. Sprague, volumes 3 and 4 of the Annals of the Ameri-
can Pulpit ; the Rev. Evan Davies of Richmond, England, 6 volumes, of which he
was the Editor or Author ; and Samuel Agnew, Esq., of Philadelphia, 475 volumes.
These last are part of a collection which Mr. Agnew has been gathering with great
pains and diligence for a number of years, and in which he has endeavou^ to bring
together all the rare and valuable publications which have appeared upon certain specific
subjects. These volumes compnsc, in addition to other viilnable works, a complete
set of the books of the Parker Society, except one volume, which it has been impossi-
ble to obtain ; the most complete and sumptuous editions of the works of the venerable
Bede, and Boston, and a large number of publications on the Trinity, many of whidi
are very rare and difficult to be procured.
A large amount of binding has been executed at the expense of Robert L. Stuart, Esq.
Valuable boxes of clothing for the Students have been received from the Female
Charitable Society of Morris Plain ; the lliird Presbyterian Church, Newark, N. J. ;
and from the Ladies of the Church under the care of the Rev. James W. Alexander,
D. D., New York. Some of the Professsors have also received benefactions for the
use of the students, from benevolent persons, whose names have not been reported.
The Committee on Theological Seminaries respectfully report, that they have re-
ceived and considered the annual rq>orts of the Seminaries under the care of the Gene-
ral Assembly, viz : Princeton, N. J. ; Union, Va. ; Western, Pa. ; and Danville, Ky.
The Assembly will learn, with jo]^ and devout gratitude to the Head of the Church,
that all these Institutions have during the past year been highly favoured ; that the
teachers have been faithful in their work or instruction ; that the pupils have been
diligent in study, and exemplary in their deportment. It is also gratifying to know
that the numbers in attendance have been increased, and an enlarged desire for the
foreign missionary field has been manifested.
In respect to then* finandal aspect, the ALflsemUy, while rejoicing in what has
already been done, will appreciate the need of continued effort to enlarge their means,
and complete their endowments. Tour Committee would recommend the reiteration
of the resolution adopted by the last Assembly, vi£ :
^ That the churches be urged to complete the endowment of those Seminaries that
are not yet fully endowed, to increase the number of scholarships, to furnish funds for
repairs and erection of suitable buildings, and the enlargement of libraries.''

The students have been examinoi, at the close of the term, in the presence of a Com-
mittee of the Board, who report that the attendance and attention of the students
were highly commendable.
The Faculty take pleasure in reporting a very aroused interest in the work of For-
eign Missions. Three of the students in the different classes have already ofibred
themselves to the Board and been accepted, and others are purposed to offer them-
selves at the proper time. The present wide^read religions awakening with which
God has very signally blessed this region of our land, has furnished the students a pre-
cious opportanity of labouring in the great hafvest field. In this densely settled
Presbyterian r^ion there has been the amplest opportunity of training in this practi-
cal department, and the happy eflbct of snch exercise has been very manifest on the
students themselves."
The state of religious interest in the Seminary has been peculiarly gratifying, and
calls for special gratitude to the great Head of the Church.

This Church is located at the corner of South and St. Mary
Streets, opposite Lafayette Square, — it covers an area of 150 feet
in length and 100 feet in width, the main tower is twenty feet
square at its base, and is 219 feet in height. The style of architec-
ture is Gothic, of the fourteenth century.
The audience room is ninety-eight feet long, and seventy-five in
width, and forty-two feet high, — it will seat 1100 persons, the gal-
leries on each side will accommodate 450 persons.
In the rear of the audience room, there are two large rooms for
lecture and school rooms.
The site on which the church stands is the same as the building
which was destroyed by fire in October, 1854.*
The pastor, Rev. B. M. Palmer, D. I)., preached the dedication
sermon, from John iv. 28, 24.

THB PRBSBTTSRIAN OHUBCH, (N. 8.) 95
THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, (N. S.)
The General Assembly Prbsbtterian Ohuroh, in the Uia-
TBD States of Ambkiga, met in the Seoond Presbyterian Church,
Chicago, 111.; on Thursday, May 20th, 1858, at 11 o'clock, A. M. ;
and was opened with a discourse by the retiring Moderator.
^mnxit Irs 3^^* S^muti M. $ii\tx, i* i«
Acts, ix. 31. Then had the churches rest thronghout all Jadea and Gklilee and Sa>
maria, and were edified, and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of
the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.
Thus ended the first persecution. It had subserved an import-
ant purpose in the preparation of the infant church for its great
mission. It had tested the faith of its members. They had expe-
rienced that baptism of fire, which from age to age was destined to
fall upon the church of Jesus. They had begun to enter upon the
fellowship of Christ's sufferings. The blood of the first Christian
martyr, shed in attestation of the truth, revealed the path of suffer-
ing along which the church must pass, the power of the faith to
lift her above the fear of death. And more than this, these Chris-
tians scattered abroad, as the flames hidden for a season in a sin-
gle building, when flung forth by an explosion, spread themselves
on all sides, so they went everywhere bearing the holy fire, and
kindling the flames of divine love in thousands of hearts.
Then came the season of repose. The fiercest of her persecutors,
now become the lowliest of her children, was passing through that
experience which was to make him the profoundest expositor of
Christian theology, the boldest and most successful evangelist to
the Qentiles, the grandest and most remarkable figure in the whole
college of the Apostles. From this retirement, where had been
nourished into full strength the great principles of the doctrine of
Jesus, he was soon to issue forth on that holy career which set two
continents in a blaze, prepared the way and laid broad the foun-
dation for still mightier triumphs. The church, now at peace,
began to organize and consolidate her forces. Her faith, deepened
and strengthened by trial, instinct with a divine life, gave an irre-
sistible momentum to her advance. Looking up to the captain of
her salvation, she entered upon that path of conquest which is to
cease only when the kingdoms of this world have become the king-
doms of her Lord. This season of repose was full of blessing. It

was needed, lest the young life should be utterly crushed out by the
powers of darkness.
The season of peace gave time for the edification of the church.
The Holy Spirit, working ever in harmony with mental laws, then
went forth on his special mission of renovation. New churches
were organized ; believers multiplied ; Christianity gained a higher
and broader position for future conquest. This was the second
great revival. Thus we have brought out directly in our text the
state of rest which the church enjoyed and the ministrations of the
spirit under which she was edified and multiplied. But as we can-
not well discuss the subject of rest without also looking at the state
of conflict which is so effectively connected with it, I propose to call
your attention first to the conditions of conflict and of rest into which
the church from time to time passes, and then briefly to the minis-
tration of the Spirit through wbicb alone either of these conditions
are made to subserve her highest good.
Conflict rather than rest has been the chief characteristic of an
advancing church ; and what has been true for a time will still be,
tintil the conditions which have induced it are largely changed.
Side by side with the angelic chorus, " Peace on earth and good
will to men," stands that prophetic declaration of the Master, " I come
not to send peace, but a sword." The individual christian repre-
sents in himself alike the necessity and the sources of this conflict in
which the church must engage. Advancing in knowledge, he learns
how more fully to apply the principles of Christianity to practical
life, and sees more clearly evils once embraced or tolerated, which
now must be renounced cost what it may, so the church in her pro-
gress reaches a position to which, with a riper judgment, she ap*
plies the touchstone of truth to practices adopted in some hour of
inexperience, tolerated while the light was increasing, but now seem
to be evils — evils to be renounced cost what it may. So at Geneva,
Calvin, while in principle giving all spiritual power to the church,
permitted the state to hold a relationship to it which time has de-
monstrated to be the source of manifold evils. So in the English
Reformation, elements of that spiritual despotism out of which the
church had come, were permitted to remain, which have since
brought forth only evil.
This state of conflict has advantages and disadvantages.
1. The first of the happy results of this condition of things, is that
which immediately followed this persecution. It scattered abroad
the disciples. It stirred up their quiet nest at Jerusalem. It opened
to their minds the breadth of their mission, and taught them, as
when all prosperous and happy at home, they could not so well
have learned the true meaning of Christ's last command. Naturally
enough they would have supposed, that the city of the great King,
the religious centre of the world, must first be thoroughly subdued
to Christ, before the gospel could go forth to other cities. But God
had other purposes. Jerusalem is no longer to be the central glory
of the earth. Fire shall devour its temple; famine and the sword
its people; while Titus shall drive his ploughshare over Mount Zion.

THE PRB8BTTSRIAK OHUROH, (K. S.) 97
The same results have repeatedly followed persecutioQ along the
history of the churches. The Huguenot and the Puritan, obeying
the spirit of the injunction, ** when they persecute you in this city,
flee ye into another,'' have erected a kingdom for Jesus in this new
world — a kingdom so situated, with such vast resources, its subjects
BO governed and trained in the truth, its youth so rich in intelli-
gence, enterprise, and strength, that, unless the powers of darkness
shall be permitted to corrupt its spirit, its manhood will stretch its
arms forth to embrace all tne families and tribes of men and draw
them into fellowship with Jesus.
2. A second happy effect of this extreme conflict is seen in its in-
fluence upon the experience of the Church. Brought into deepest
fellowship with the sufferings of their Lord, the awful power of his
resurrection is felt all through the spirit dead to this world, making
it alive to the world to come. The love, the faith, the hope of the
Church shine at no time With so unearthly a light as in the hours
of suffering which darken her history.
There is one result of the internal conflicts of the church of
inestimable value. I refer to the systematic development of the
doctrines of Christianity. It is an unquestionable fact that the con-
troversies which have arisen in the bosom of the church itself, in
respect to the great principles of Christian faith, have served to de-
fine and settle these principles in opposition to vital error.
But when quieter times came, philosophy entered and sought to
shape God's truth in accordance with man's thought.
The old and loose phraseology of the fathers — a merely apologetic
Christianity in opposition to heathenism — was of little avail in
meeting these new developments of speculative mind in the Church.
The protest at Spires not only gave power to Protestantism : it
made it certain the Bomish Church could never be again, while it
existed alongside of the Beformed Church, what it once was. No
Tetzels shall hereafter be seen hawking indulgences in sight of Pro-
testant steeples. The exodus of the Free Church of Scotland, not
only developed an unceasing vitality in this Church itself, but sti-
mulated to a more Christian activity that from which they came.
And in giving such a signal vindication to the independence of the
spiritual on the civil, it has clothed this principle with an energy
that in time will work out still grander triumphs.
But while these conflicts at times work together for good, yet this
is not true in all cases. Springing from corruption and ignorance,
its legitimate results are only evil. Counteracted by the spirit and
providence of Qod, it is often made, as we have seen, the means of
blessing. But, for purposes of infinite wisdom, these trials of the
Church are sometimes permitted to issue disastrously for the time.
The advantages on which I have dwelt have each their counterpart
of evil.
1. First, persecution, instead of promoting the immediate spread
of true religion, not unfrequently greatly retards its progress,
and within certain limits sometimes seems to crush out all vital
piety. When power is arrayed against Jesus when the Scribes and

Phariseee oombine to dethrone and crnciff liim, then the timid
shrink back and the time serying join hands with his opposers. In
the minds of mnltrtudeB authority and power are mightier than con-
science. And 80 when we sing our pseans of victory, and rejoice
that the blood of the martyrs has som^imes been the seed of the
church, let vs not forget that natnrally it is not bo; that only through
God^s special benediction is it erer so; that still the cry ascends
irora beneath the altar — the wail of myriads of souls of them that
were slain for the word of Gt>d, and for the testimony which they
held — " How long, Lord, holy and tr«e, dost thou not judge and
arenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And white
robes were given unto every one of them, and it was said unto them
that they should rest yel for a little season, until thetr felhw-Bervfrnts
also and their bnlthm^^ ihxU iihould be killed as they were, should be
fulfilled/' Thus for a time hath a cloud rested on the altar of re-
ligion ; and the blood of the martyr and the tears of confessors
have wailed in sadness for the quickening breath of the Holy Ghost.
2. We have seen the happy result of tne conflicts of the Church
in the clear statement and vindicalion of the Christian laith. But
in this respect also the benefits hav« not been unmixed with evil.
The same influemces which, at length, have set forth the truth
in its fulness, have ofken, during the progress of the church to this
high position, served to distort, and unduly magnify partial truths.
Controversy tends to produce an exaggerated estimate, and also an
exaggerated statement of the truth.
And if this distortion of truth is sometimes thcTesuIt of outward
conflict, the same thing is equally manifest in the controversies
which have «prung up in the bosom of the church. It belongs to
our nature that, as a doctrine of our faith is disputed, the feelings
gather round it, the enthusiasm kindles OTcr it, the mind concen-
trates itself upon it^ until it stands forth enlarged and coloured with
our prejudices, magnified through them into a disproportionate
greatness. Tew minds are large enough or so well balanced as in
uie heat of controversy to hold all the truths of a system in their
just estimation.
Athanasius and his co-workers in the great controversv respecting
the nature of Christ, ofl;en approached as near to tri*theism as to
tri-unity. Augustine, whose genius towers up in the past like the
pyramid of Cheops over Egypt, gives us at times such statements
of &Uen humanity as virtually annihilates our distinctive moral man-
hood. Luther, in his tremendous vindication of justification by
faith, uses language that legitimately stamps all good works with
the signet of Satan* Nor is this exaggeration of statement the onl v
evil. While it lasts, the point in dispute beoomes the central pil-
lar of the whole temple of religion. At one time the form of bap-
tism enlists all the acumen and intellect of the ecclesiastical Samsons.
At another mediate and immediate imputation of the sin of Adam —
at another the philosophy and extent of the atonement, the irresisti-
bleness of the Spirit in regeneration, the nature and effect of election,
inability, and free agency, and thus ranging down from lofty to

minute, a man's salvation has been made to depend on irh^tlier or
so aa in&nt sinned with ite first breath, and the irfaole orthodozj
of the Oharch, like a pjrRmid balanced oa its apex, is made to rest
on an infinitesimal qxiantity, rather than on die broad fiwts of Ood^
revelation. Thns the really distanetire and easential gospel of J^
sns Christ is ihrast aside, md faith beooraes a<yt a childlike embra*
cing him in his great officea, bat a power of philosophical discrivf^
ination, a capacity to hold in the inlielleot the hard, abstract, extreme
dogmas of the schoolmen of the time; but which, as men in the mass
are not moral ostriches, the body of the Chnrch, after maaifaUI|
ioeffiBOtnal trials, repudiates as beyond the power of digestion.
S. We have seen how outward trials tend to deepen the expe-
rienoe and pwrify the hearts of the people of God. But we cannot
affirm this of all kinds of conflict Internal oontroversy hath usu*
ally an opposite iafluenee. When at peace within itself, the Church
Bftay be in coafliet with all around it and grow stronger and purer ;
when at strife within, though it should be at rest in respect to ex*-
temal opposition, it nooriahes an element of weakness. Controvert
mes in tiie Church tend to create a spirit which, imagining that tbe
triumph of a party is the triumph of truth, aims rather at the pos*
session of power and the demonstration of a perscmal victory, than
at the spread of tiie tnith.
Let us now consider briefly the condition of the churefa as at rest
As in Christian experience true peace is not only a rich fruit of the
Spirit, but the point of oonflnenee to which all the other graees teod^
BO in tbe churcdd a high state of spiritual prosperity is ever distin-
guished as one of rest ^^ Pray for the pecux of Jerosalem, they shall
prosper tiMt live there," is the sentiment that gushes frotn the Chri»>
iitn heart
1. One of the firrt things most obvious in such a state is its har«>
mony with the acK>8t complete growth of a religious character. In
a state of conflict the whole stress of the Christian life is throws
upon one or two points. The antagoniatic, courageous feelings are
fully developed. The gentler, quieter virtues, among whtoli lova
reigns as queen, grow more vigorously under the culture of rest
And bwMe this condition of rest is associated in scripture with the
freest, noblest development of religion in the head and lifk of tha
Church.
2. In this state of rest the Church is best able to earry ibrward
a system of thorough culture, and organize those forces which are
necessary to her fullest development F<m' the Church is not an agw
gregation of loose materials, but in its best state an organic exi»
tence, embracing within itself the means of growth and prosperity.
She forms hersdf into various societies, and. establishes for tbem a
regular system of spiritual cultura She builds churches withia
which to worship ; organises the means of instruction for the3rounff;
educates her ministry ; and combines individual societies into sum
forms as will best subserve the preservation of her purity, the No-
vation of her members, and the spread of the gospel. The Dedans
tion of Independence befitted a state of war, but the framing at the

OoDBtitution, and the full inauguration of our National Bepublio
was the work of peace. David was a warrior king and won the
strong-hold of Salem ; but it was committed to Solomon during a
reign of peace to rear the temple on Moriah. Calvin could find no
rest in native France. But God prepared Geneva for his home ;
and there, within the walls of that joung republic, secure alike from
the rage of Francis, Charles, and the Duke of Savoy, beneath the
awful shadow of Jura, beside the quiet waters of Lake Leman, he
framed and established that ecclesiastical polity, which, restoring
the early form of the house of God, has served as the pattern for so
large a portion of the Reformed churches ; he planted that university
which sent forth a ministry to Scotland and Switzerland, and France
and Holland; he instituted that simple, spiritual culture which has
prevailed so largely and succeeded so admirably in nurturing gene-
rations of christians in the faith and love of Jesus. So in the times
of Elizabeth and James, despite the bigotry of the latter and the
prudery of the former, the word of God had found a home in En-
gland. Had peace continued, that leaven might have leavened the
whole lump, and in time the simple institutions of puritan Chris-
tianity have grown up into full vigor on British soil.
8. In this state of rest the Church is best prepared, to carry for-
ward the work of the gospel out of herself, and the world is in the
best state to hear the truth. There, free from the necessity of con-
centrating her energies on herself, she can quietly put in motion all
the enginery of Christianity for the great conquest.
All the great revivals of religion, which have formed eras in the
progress of the religion of Jesus, have occurred when the Church
was at rest, and when the minds of men have been delivered from
those agitations which are incident to conflict or which are like
onto it It was so with the great awakening of the last century in
Great Britain and the United States. It was so with the great re-
Yival which opened this century. It was so with that which spread
over the land thirty years ago. It is so with that which is now mo-
ying around us in such a wave of redeeming love and peace.
But while a state of rest hath in it so much of good to the Church,
we are not to forget that it hath also its dangers. '' Silence," says
one, '' is divine." But with equal truth another has said that if
" rictory is silent, so is defeat." While on the one hand a state of
rest may afford to the Church an opportunity for the silent working
of those forces which are to gain the victory, yet, if long continued,
it may also afford the opportunity for inferior and evil forces, spring*
ing from our corruption, to work out her defeat.
1. In this state of outward prosperity, you will notice, among
other things, a secret influence hostile to a lofty, a vigorous faith.
Faith hath this peculiarity, that as it is the vision and the grasping
of the unseen and eternal, so it needs to be often shaken loose from
the associations of things seen and temporal, and brought into di*
reot (face to face and hand to hand) communion with its great objects.
It must often feel itself sinking in the waters in order to quicken
its grasp upon the Saviour.

THK PRESBTTKBIAN OHUROH, (N. 8.) 101
The times of suffering have developed an unheard of manhood in
the church, while the times of peace have dwarfed the proportions
and withered the energy of the christian soldier. It is wonderful
to read in Heb. xL, how the faith of the leaders of the elect host has
grown to greatness amidst the furnace of trial rather than in the
smooth and open path of rest.
2. Directly connected with this, you are to consider how strong
is the tendency in a time of peace to a self-indulgence in matters of
religion, and a surprising activity in matters of worldly interest.
We love not self-denial. It crosses the bent of our earthly nature;
nay, it is the mortification unto death of that nature. Only as we
look calmly, clearly, steadily at the vast interests at stake ; only as
under the influence of motives drawn from the eternal world, we
gird ourselves for the work, do we take up our cross daily and fol-
low Jesus.
Nor are these the only dangers of peace. Hand in hand with
this spirit of self-indulgence and worlaly activity, there grows up a
looseness of practice and a looseness of belief.
And along with this degeneracy in the life of the church there
creep in the slimy serpents of error. One by one the vital doctrines
of the cross are dropped out of the pulpit and out of the heart.
The dogmas of a pure faith enshrined m confessions and liturgies,
like flies in amber, have no response and no vitality in the expe-
rience of the people. While the very word of God, subject to the
same degradation, is used as a form, juggled with as an enigma, and
at length cast down as an impostor.
We are brought to recognize directly the mission of the Holy
Ghost as the mighty animating power, the true source of life within
the church. It was only when the disciples walked in the fear of
the Lord and the comfort of the Holy Ghost, that the rest they en-
joyed contributed to their edification and increase. The church
naturally, despite her new born nature, her holy principles, her di-
vine light, left to herself would lapse into error, would fall into sin,
would perish utterly from the earth. Those intermitting states of
conflict and repose, might be conditions precedent to her progress
at certain stages of her growth, but of themselves they would no
more secure that growth, than the alternations of wind and calm with-
out the rain and the sunshine would make the corn rise to fruitful-
ness. It is the Spirit of God which must descend before her, rank in
her, and overrule these outward changes to suit her necessities. This
is *Uhe great promise of the Christian dispensation." Conjoined
with the Messianic prophecies, and characteristic of the period over
which the reign of Christ is to extend, are the most glowing pro-
ductions of the mission of the Spirit. Jesus, our king, hath come,
hath suffered, hath ascended his throne. Redemption, on the side
of God, is all accomplished ; but on the side of man it is yet only
in a small measure accomplished.
The Spirit moves not upon the Church alone* The dry bones
feel his presence; they come together, they rise up, a great army
fall of life, and prepared to fight the battles of Immanuel. The

soenes of Pentecost are renewed. ConflicU is&ae in victories. Best
opens still wide the gates of the kingdom to the thronging nations.
And, here, fathers and brethren, is the great lesson which this
scripture brings home to us* It is not the outward oiroumstances
of trial or of prosperity, that will pull down or build up the ohorcL.
For He who sits sovereign over her, doth ordain these as the coa-
ditions through which for a time she most pass. It is the divine
Spirit alone that can make these things a benediction rather than a
curse. If we wait upon the Lord — if we cherish a deep lense of our
dependence upon his power — if we magnify and honour the Holv
Ghost in all our thoughts and acts — if we seek for this as the grand-
est gift of Christ's victory, then our toials will be transformed into
triumphs, and our rest from conflict will be the flood tide of a wide
and glorious success.
Fathers and brethren, ministersand elders, we assemble here amidst
tbe brightoess of these scenes of revival— scenes sncb as the Church
of Christ has perhaps never enjoved so richly before* But as my
eye passes over this audience a shade of sadness steals in upon my
heart* There are those who have been wont to sit with us in this
high council, whose hearty greeting we miss to day. Taking ex-
ception to the ancient, the uniform, the ofl repeated testimony of oar
church, as well as to the mode of its utterance — respecting one of
the greatest moral and organic evils of the age ; deeming it better
to occupy a platform, foreign indeed to tbe genius of our free, re-
publican institutions, yet adapted, in their view, to the fuller prom-
ulgation of the gospel in the section where thiey dwell, they have
preferred to take an independent position ; and while we cannot co-
mcide with them in their views on this subject ; while we know
that tbis separation has been precipitated upon us, not sought by
us; yet remembering the days when with us they stood shoulder to
shoulder against ecclesiastical usurpation and revolution^ when in
deepest sympathy we have gone to the house of Ood in company,
and mingled our prayers before a common mercy -seat, we cannot but
pray for their peace and prosperity. We claim no monopoly of wis-
dom and right. If in our course hitherto we have been moved to
acts or deeds unfraternal or unbefitting our mutual relations; if in
the attempt to maintain our ancient priciples and apply the gospel
to the heart of this gigantic evil, we have given utterance to lan-
guage that has tended to exasperate rather than quicken to duty,
we claim no exemption from censure, we ask the forgiveness we aro
equally ready to accord.
Taking our position &r above the feelings of the hour, we sea
the same great sovereignty, which through dark conflicts bath con-
ducted the Church up to a position of wide influence, preparing the
way for tbe noble triumphs of our common Christianity. For more
than twenty years we have been subject to a strange discipline,
sometimes to a baptism of fire. It was necessary for us to suffer in
order that we might triumph. He who in every age bath seen fit
thus to settle His Church upon the rock, and then crown her stead-
£Ast adherence to truth with victory, hath brought us forth more

compaot, more yigorous, better prepared in simple dependence upon
bis power to baild up His Kingdom. Never before have we occupied
so commanding a position, — a position so truly in sympathy with
the great heart of Christianity abroad and at home, a position from
which we ean send forth so wide and far-reaching an influence. We
have a vast field to cultivate. We may have to adjust our cnachioery
to our advanced condition. The methods which were wise in
one generation, are not alwajra wise in another. Churches develope
themselves inevitably, if they develope at all, in harmony with the
circumstances arouna them. He who attempts to resist this law
must die. All foreign churches on our soil are bound to become
American io genius, in power, in manifestation, or perish. We
must develope ourselves in the line of God's providence. What is
a General Assembly worth, — what are ecclesiastical councils worth,
if they only stereotype the p«at» while they refose to recognise a new»
a grand» a nobler present? It is the remark of a very profound
writer in subetanoe. that the foree of t^j one great movement in
the Church is limited to some thirty or forty yearsu Then a new
era must commence, if the Chureh advances. Let us see to it thai
we wisely adapt ourselves to the field we have open to us ; that we
seek, in the Catholic spirit towards other branches of the Church of
Jesus which has been one of our noblest oharacteristics, to develope
our resources i^ harmony witb the true genius of our Constitution
and Discipline* But while we do this, let us not forget that peace
hath ber defeats as well as her victories. Let us remember that it
is only as we walk in the fear of the Lord, in the comfort of the
Holy Ghost, that we can expect our churches to be built up in the
faith, and converts multipliea. And lei as all unite in the prayer,
" Give ear, Shepherd of Israel ; thou that leadest Joseph like a
flock, thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth. Before
Ephraim^ Benjamin, and Manasseh, stir up thy strength. Let thy
priests be dotned with salvation, and let thy saints rejoice in goodness."
After the disonurae, the Assembly was constituted with praver.

We, the uadenigned membem of the Assenbiyifeel eonstraiaed to ptolesl against
the decision of the General Assembly, in not sustaining the appeal of Mr. Geo.
Sheldon ; we protest against the action of the General Aaembly, virtually confirming
the act of deoosition prononnocd against Mr. Sheldon, as being contrary to the former
decisiona of the General Assemblv, contrary to the established praotiee of oor Jtidic»>
tory, contrary to the personal rights of Mr. Sbekloa. and dero^torj to the hono«r of
Jesus Christ as represented by his Church in the highest judicatory. And, because
we are unwilling to be thought co ns en ting to such action, we here respectfully enter
our solemn protest, and pray that it may be admitted apoa the minutes of the

In the yw 1853, Maria 0. Cowles presented a petition mider oath to the Distriet
Court of Wayne Co., Iowa, praying for a divoree from her kusban^ Wm. A. Cowke^
in which it was stated snbstaotially, thai she had beeo married to said Cowlea ia
Janoary, 1839,in Massachuaetts; that they had lived together thaienntil August, 1851»
when she separated herself from him, and proceeded to Iowa, wbera she baa since re*
tided. That, previous to her departing from him in 1851, her husband was in the
habit of becoming intoxicated, and when so intoxicated, was iU-nataied and abusive—
80 much so, that her sitaation as his wife became intoletable; and she had been wider

defendant having neglected to make provinoD for her support noee the period off her
separation from him. No pertinent proof off the troth off these aUegatioaa waa made ;
but the Courts notwithstaiiding, nanted her a divorce a amcttfo mairiimamis when
Jas. H, Shields, then a member of the Fresbyterv of Pea Moines^ bemg oogninnt of
all the facts in the case, was married to the said Maria C. Cowles, and has eontinued
to cohabit with her as his wife. In April, 1856, the Presbvtery inatitnted proceed-
ings against him for adultery, and finally convicted him of that o&aee, and deposed
him from the ministry and excommunicated him from the ehorch. Thereupon the
said Shields appealed to the Synod off Iowa, whkh reversed the deoisioD off PMsby tery.

The Qenerftl Aasembly do, therefore consider that the said Jaa. H. Shidds was
properly convicted of adnltery ; and the decision of the Synod of Iowa in this case, is
nerebv reversed, and the jadgment of the Presbytery of Des Moines, therein confirmed.
The Assembly, whilst rendenng this decision, takes occasion to call the attention of
the churches under its care to a tendency, manifest in some portions of our country,
to relax the sacredness of the marriage-tie. Lying, as the institution of marriage
does, at the very foundation of order, purity, and prosperity in the State and in the
Church ; the Assembly cannot view witnout abhorrence any attempt to diminish its
sanctity or to extend beyond the warrant of the Holy Scriptures the ground of divorce.
On the recommendation of the respective Committees, the records
of the following Synods were approved as far as written: — Albany,
Cincinnati, Genesbb, Gsnbva, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, New

Bev. George 0. Lucas, Chairman of the Committee, reported the
following, which was adopted :
The cloeiog sentiiDeDt id the NarratiTC of the last year, was the desire expressed
for tlie reTival of God's worlc The cheerine iotelligeQce which now reaches as from
ererr part of the land, is the realization of this desire. We trace a most manifest con-
nection between the intense longing breathed thronghoot the whole Ghnrdi a year
ago, and the manrelloas work of grace that we are now enjoying.
The meeting of the present Assembly occore in the midst of what has been very
properly styled, ** The mat awakening." In this remarkable work of grace, onr own
Church has shared, and is sharing larsely ; so that, with gratitade and rejoicing, we
mention it as the chief feature of the Narrative. The members of the AsBembhr have
come from scenes of revival, to mingle in a revival promssing in this place of meet-
ing. This wave of blessing is rolling over the land. Already it has reached every
Presbytery within onr bounds; and th^e is scarcely a church that has not felt, in
some degree, its cheering inflnenoe.
This Pentecostal season manifested itself at an early fjeriod of the present year, in
a remarkable degree, in the cities of New York and Philadelphia. Individuals from
the east and the meet, from the north and the south, came to these business centres, aud,
like the men of old who visited Jemsalem, they were filled with the Holy Ghost, and
returned home to kindle the sacred flame at thehr own altars, and in the places where
they dwelt, until the holy fire was lighted in almost every city and village of the land,
where it is still burning more or less brightly.
In the financial revulsion which preceded this awakening, this truth is equally
illustrated. Men were forced to the acknowledgment. This is ike hand of God, The
perplexities, the reverses, and the losses, which attended it, demonstrating so clearly
the instability and the InsuflBciency of earthly good, exerted, we doubt not, a most
salutary influence on thousands, preparing the way for the operations of the Divine
Spirit
The general characteristics of this great work of grace have been singularly uni-
form, in nearly all our churches, lliere has been less than usual of overpowering ex-
citement, both in the experience of Christians and in the exercises of the awakened ;
but much clear conviction of sin and ruin, calm submission to the will of God, and
simple fiuth in the atoning blood of Jesos Christ.

The Presbyteries bear nuited testimony to the happy loflQenoe exerted by timoii
puyeMMdings, id qaickening believen, in awakening sinnen, and in l^ing them
to Obrist. ** The prayer^meeting/' says one, <* always so important, has occupied an
extraordinary place in the instrumentalities employed. The prominence given to the
praTer-meeting has indeed, with us, as throughout the country, been one of tbo una-
Bual features of this work of grace ; and, in connection with it, there has been a de-
Telopment of the piety and ability of the members of the Church, which will, no
doubt, be one of the most blessed and permanent influences of the revival.''
God has honoured the ordinary means of grace. There has been do demand for
new agencies, such as evangelists and revival preachers, technically so styled : and but
little demand for pulpit ministrations beyond the strength of the pastors, llie work
in oar churches has tnus been directly ander pastoral supervision. To no one class
of truths has special prominence been given in preaching. The claims of the law of
Qod, with its solemn sanctions ; the pollution, the g^uilt, aid the rain of man ; the atoning
work of Christ ; the sanctifying work of the Spirit; the fulness and the freeness of the
Gospel ofler, have each been exhibited in turn, with great simplicity and earnestness.
It is impossible to measure the inflaence that this great revival will exert apon the
Chnreh and the world.
It is not to be expected, that its outward manifestations will continue ; but its
power, its internal litie, will remain in the church. The great awakening, that oc-
curred in connection with the labours of Whitefield and his co>adjut(irs, teft its im-
press upon the Charch ; its influence has come down to ns, and we feel its power.
I1ie Church was then lifted into a higher position, and clothed with new energy.
The influence of the present awakening, we believe, will be still mere salutary and
permanent upon the Church. Never, in the same space of time, has the Church
advanced so much in living energy and abiding power. She has taken another step
upward. The moral grandeur of her position, and the majestic force which, under
God, she has been enabled to wield, have given her a deeper hold upon the hearts and
consciences of all classes, than perhaps she ever had before.
The Church of Christ has snfllirea for years, because the sapplv of ministers was
not equal to the increased, and constantly increasing, demand. God has now taken
this matter into his own hands.
It is reported that a larffe number of the students at Yale and Amherst Colleges
have already been converted ; and that at Beloit College seventy are hoping in Christ,
thirty-six of whom are studying for the ministry.
It will vitalize Christian doctrine. The forms of orthodoxy will breathe with a
new life. Truth will be viewed less in the abstract, more in tte concrete. Beligion
will be regarded not merely as a belief in creeds, but as a life ; the Bible, as a book
not merely designated to teach systematic theolc^y, but as containing great truths
adapted to meet the wants of the soul.
It has brought those connected with diflerent religious sects to labour and pray to-
sether, not merely as members of any one denomination, but as ChrUHansi Its bear-
ing has been most marked m the influence already felt^ and yet to be exerted, on a co-
operative Christianity.
The instructions, growing oat of this remarkable work of grace, are tmpartani to
the Church and the ministry. This blessing came to encourage her members and her
ministers, and to inspire them with new confidence in the power of Christ. It has
been abundantly verified, that ^ he that goetb forth and weepeth, bearing precious
seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him."
Another lesson taaght is, that a condition of spiritual life in the Church is one also
of great external prosperity. It is a law of life to work outward, and build for it-
self a body, a habitation to dwell in. This vital force sets all the machinery of the
Charch in motion, for the Spirit of the living God is in the wheels. We should natu-
rally expect, therefore, to find what the Narratives of the diflerent Presbyteries within
our bounds actually reveal : that new church edifices have been erected, while others
have been enlarged and improved ; in some cases, debts have been diminished or paid
off; new churches have been organized ; and in some instances, new Presbyteries have
been formed. Notwithstanding the financial pressure, ** the contributions to the va-
rious objects which have usually received the patronage of our churches, have fallen
bat little below those of the previous year," and in some instances they have been en-
larged. A lively interest is manifested by the Presbyteries in the plans adopted for
extending the borders, and increasing the efficiency, of the Church, that ^e may meet
her weighty responsibilities.

Th« Committee on the Preparation of a Book of Tunes respect-
fully report to the General Assembly, that the work intrusted to
them is in progress and will shortly be completed. It will be oare-
fully prepared under the supervision of a competent professor of
sacred music. If the Assembly desire, as some have suggested, a
Hymn Book with tunes incorporated, after the manner of the " Tem-
ple Melodies,'* it will be necessary for them to give the C!ommitte«
specific instructions to that effect.
The report was adopted.
Communications were received from the Presbytery of Harmony,
also from Bev. A. H. H. Boyd, in behalf of the " United Synod of the

who reported the foTloirmg reBolotions, which were adopted :

ing and conrlesy df the Rev. A. H. H. BoycL D. D., the aecredited representative cf

Resolved, 2.~ltet this AssemUv regmt the wsatnraJ asDaratioD whieh then
bodies have felt themselves coostrainea to create, by the action which they have taken,
both because of onr family affinitSes and sympathfes, and 1>eeaase it weakens our
ability, and diinuiishes oar opportunities for mutual aid and encouragement, in the
great work for which the Church exists. We had hoped, that, by perpetnatii^ oar
relations, bj kind interchange of views, and mutaal prayers, and by that light which
time and patient inquhy secure, we should ultimately "be of one mind toaching the
subfect of Slaveiy, as we now are in relation to other moral qnestttms.
Resolved, 3.~That the consideration and adjastment of the claims to the fondi of
Ihe Assembly preferred by the Presbvtery of Harmony and the United Synod, be
]>06tponed to the next Qeneral Assembly for the following reasons : (1.) That suitable
time may be given for a full examination of questions bearing on the equitable charac-
ter, and of the l^al consequences, of grantioff the claims preferred. (2.) That the
Assemblv may he able to ascertam what and now many churches under ^e care of
the Presbyteries and Synods, which have withdrawn or waq withdraw from our con-
nection, may desire to retain their relations to the Assembly, and whose claim to a
share in the distribution of the Church Erection ^nd will consequently remain un-
disputed. <3.) That the final adinstment of these dafms, mode as the result of due
deliberation, mutual conference m tlie parties, and prayer to Hhn who giveth wfadom
to his servants, may he aatjsfactoiy, ff possible, to all concerned.
Reeolvedf 4.— That the whole subject of these claims be referred to the Board of
Trustees of the Church Erection Fund to consider and report to the next Assembly.

In presenting the Sixth Annual Beport, your Committee has
been painfully restricted, during the past year, by want of means —
a point to which attention will be again called in their report.
They have adopted and stereotyped the following tracts:

mendation of the last AssemUv,

31 pages, 8vo.
The Committee are now issoing the Church Pbauust in Tarioiis sizes and styles
of binding.
The Committee have other tracts in hand, or in oonrse of preparation, and look
for still others from Tarioos portions of the Charch, to be pablished, as they shall be
supplied with the means of so doing.
The DiossT of the Gteneral Assembly, a work greatly needed by oar ministers and
elders, is. ready for pablication. It will be stereotyped and issued, as soon as the
Committee is furnished with the necessary funds.
By the Treasurer's Beport, herewith presented, it appears that the —

It is proper to remark, that of the amount reported as donations, namely, $8179.55,
the city of Philadelphia contributed $6996.94, and with two other contributions
from tlie lliird and Fourth Presbvteries of Philadelphia, (but not strictly from the
city itself,) $7556.94 ; leaving?, as the total receipts of the Committee, from all churches
without the bounds of the Pmkdelphia Presbyteries, for the year ending Jf ay 1, 1858,
the sum of $622.61. ^
The Committee find themselves, at the present time, in a posiUon of great embar*
rassment Whilst thev are able and happy to report progress in their work, and
whilst they find themselves within sight, and almost within grasp, of more substantial
and valuable progress, they also find themselves on the eve of complete disaster.
Since the first action of the Qeneral Assembly (after the disruption) for the cause
of Presbyterian Publication — the action of 1852, by which this Committee was or-
ganized with the title of " The Doctrinal Tract Committee" since changed to that
of the Prisbvtrrian Pubuoation Committrb — the progress of this cause, in the fa-
Tour of the denomination, has been steady and cheering. Bv the enlargement of the
powers of the Committee, by the unanimous approval of its labours by successive As-
semblies, and by the instructions, from time to time given to it, the Publication
Cause has grown in importance and in value to the Church.
The eum, abauluiely needed to carrv the Committee through the present year, may
be stated, in round numbers, at ten ihou8€md dollars. For the publication of the
Tune Book, Digest of the Assembly's Acts, the Chant Book, and minor works essen-
tial to the usefulness and continued life of the Committee, six thousand dollars more
are needed. If the Committee could receive, this year, from all sources, $16,000, it
could be made self-supporting, as to its organization. By owning a few works needed

by the denomination (membere or ministers) all of its expenses wonid be paid, whibt
the body was profited. After this, all moneys contribnied wonld go direct, and nn-
tonched by expenses, to the publication of books for sale and distribution. Event-
ually all donations might be applied to the gratuitous distribution of books and tracts
for the promotion of the interests of the denomination and of religion.
It will be noted, that, in the estimate of funds needed by the Committee, no men-
tion is made of presses or machinery. It is no part of the Committee's plan to own
any of the machinery of book-making. Their property will be restricted to copy*
rights and plates, which they must necessarily own. AH their work, in the manufao-
ture of books, is done for them by contract* and by printers and binders having no
connection with the Committee.

The Fourth Annual Eeport relates to the transfer of the Presby-
terian House from the temporary Trustees to the Trustees of the
General Assembly, the purchase money having been paid to ac-
complish this object. The Treasurer furnishes the following view
of the funds :
Balance in the Treasury per last Report, $737 38
Received from John A. Brown, Esq., .;•••. 10,31167
" Renta 2,176 70
" « CollecUons, 122 79
$13,348 54
Expenditures, 12,655 73
Balance in Treasary, $692 81
It will be seen, that one half of the purchase-money of the house, or $20,000, has
now l)een paid. Every other indebtedness of every kind has also been met, leaving
$20,000 on ground-rent upon the building.
It is hoped that during the present fiscal year, the Trustees will be able to begin
the Sinking Fund to pay off the $20,000 still unpaid. During the year now closed,
the ground-rent was $1800 ; on account of the embarrassments of the Presbyterian
Publication Committee, $400, being one half of the rent of the store occupied by
them, was remitted ; and, on account of the financial difficulties of the times, some
of the rents of rooms in the building have necessarily been reduced. This, it is hoped,
will only be temporary. During the coming year the ground-rent will be but $1200,
and the means to pay one half of it are in hand ; so that if the rooms in the building
are aJl rented, something may be set apart for the Sinking Fund.
The term of the following Trustees expires during the present sessions of the As-
sembly : Mr. John A. Brown, Mr. M. W. Baldwin, Hon. William Darling, Rev.
Thomas Brainerd, D. D., and Rev. George Chandler. According to the rule requir-
ing an equal number of ministers and laymen in the Board, it will be neces»iry to
elect two ministers and three lawmen who, by the terms of the Charter, must be citi-
sens of the State of Pennsylvania.

Tbe Church Extension Committee, in presenting their Third An-
nual Report, would remark that during the past year, the cause under
their control has made considerable progress.
The number of MiasioDaries in commission was twenty-six, beine an increase of
twelve over the previous year. The receipts for tlieyear have been 96090.60.
The year has been an ezoeedinglv difficult one, as is known, for all benevolent opera-
tions. It is a subject for congratulation tliat in these circumstances the receipts of the
C!ommittee have not only been equal to, but far in advance of those of last year.
But the Committee, though their receipts and missionaries have thus nearly doub-
led within the vear, are by no means satisBed that our Church is doing what it ought
through this channel. So embarrassed have we been for funds, so painful has it
been to postpone applications which ought to be granted, and to be in debt to mis-
sionaries for sums which they really and sometimes distressingly need, that the Com.
determined, after much thought and deliberation, to depart so far from their for-
mer system of leaving the raising of funds entirely to tlie pastors and meml)erB of
our churches, as to authorize their Secretary to visit ecdosiastical bodies and such
churches as it might be thought best, in order that the importance of the opera-
tions of the Com. might be so seen, as to produce the reauisite response. I'his course
was, however, only entered upon late in January, and the Secretary immediately be-
ffan the arrangement of his other engagements, which were very numerous and press-
ing, so that he might fully meet the views of the Committee. He found this arrange-
ment of his business more difficult than he expected, and occupying much more time,
so that but little could be done before the close of the ecclesiastical year. This mat-
ter, he hopes, will be so arrange ere long that he will be able, during the coming
ecclesiastical vear, to procure funds to' meet all proper calls.
Our Church now has exploring missionaries in Northern and Southern Illinois, in
Wisconsin, and in Iowa. We expect to commission men, ere long, for Michigan, for
Minnesota, and for Nebraska and Kansas. It is emphatically a seed-time, and the
seed sown will yield thirty, sixty, and an hundred fola.
BENJ. J. WALLACE, Secretary.
In presenting their Fourth Annual Report, it is with no little pleasure that the
Board would state to the General Assembly that notwithstanding the unparalleled
embarrassments of the last year in monetary affiiirs, the consequent failures in business,
and the great depreciation in all kinds of securities, the Fund has suffered no loss
whatever. The present amount is 1^105,394.46.
The whole number of applications received during the year is thirty-two. The
total amount of grants maae during the year is $11,685. This amount has not as
yet all been paid out by the Treasurer. The amount of grants will always be in
advance of what is paid out by the Treasurer, because a considerable time must
necessarily elapse before the papers sent to the parties, after the grant is made, can
be executed and recorded by them and returned to the Secretary for approval by the
Board, all of which has to be done before a draft upon the Ti^easurer for the amount
granted, is sent to them. The number of donations made during the year is eight,
and their average amount is $187. The number of loans is twenty-four, and their
average $424. There has, therefore, been a decrea.«e in the average amount of dona-
tions, from that of the previous year, of some four dollars ; and an increase in that of
loans of some twenty-eight dollars. I'he whole amount of the Fund, thus far disbursed
in grants is $30,328, or nearly one third of the Fund, as it existed at the beginning.
The Board would call the attention of tbe General Assembly to the XlVth article
of the Plan, and recommend that the following sentence be added to the first para-
graph in sec. 3, namely : ^ And in case any church or congregation receiving a loan,
shall afterwards withdraw from the General Assembly, the whole amount of that
loan, remaining unpaid, shall at once become due.**

ferred the Annual Beport of the Committee on Education, presented
the following resolutions, which were adopted:
Resolved, 1. 1'hat this Assembly find, in the practical workings of the plan for
Ministerial Edacation inaugurated by the last Aiasembly, reason to regard it with
increasing confidence, and consider it eminently wise, and admirably adapted to de-
yelop the zeal and activity of the whole Charch in this department of her outy.
Kesclvedy 2. 11iat, in laying the foandation for this work in a living Christianity,
and devolving the execution of it on individual chnrches and Presbyteries, the As-
sembly has proposed the most evangelical and effective method of accomplishing this
enterprise.
Resolved^ 3. That, while the responsibility of performing this nart of her mission
rests on the Christian parents and the individual members and eldere of the Church,
it also presses, with peculiar weight, on onr ministers ; and, from a becoming spirit
and example in their daily labour, and a faithful and frequent presentation, to Chris-
tian parents and youth, of their obligations of covenanted consecration, the happiest
results may be reasonably expected.
Resolved, 4. That it is deeply to be lamented, that the Saviour's command,
'* Pray ye the Lord of the harvest that he would send forth labourers into his harvest,"
has so extensively passed from the minds and hearts of his people ; and tliis Assembly
admonish all its ministers and churches of this neglect, earnestly exhorting them to
give appropriate attention to it in their private, domestic, social, and public devo.
tions ; and especially to remember it at the Monthly Concert, as well as at the An<
Dual Concert of Prayer for Educational Institutions, on the last Thursday of Feb
mary.
Resolved, 5. That it is highly desirable, that the subject of the increase of the
ministry should be annually presented to the churches, on the Sabbath preceding or
Bncceeding the Annual Concert of Prayer for our Educational Institutions ; that con-
tributions be made on one of the Sabbaths above named, when it will not interfere
with, or disturb, systematic arrangements already adopted ; and that it is the high
privilege and imperative duty of every church, however small or feeble, to contribute
to this cause.
Resolved, 6. That the Assembly recommend, as a general principle, that candidates
for the ministrv, especially those who are connected with churches under the care af
our newer and smaller Presbyteries, retain their church and preebyterial relations
nnchanged during the progress of their studies.
They would further recommend ihe adoption of the following minute : that this As-
sembly rejoices to hear of the continuea prosperity of Union, Auburn, Lane, and
Blackburn Theological Seminaries, in the increased number of their students, and the
gracious visitation of the Spirit so richly experienced by those who are soon to assume
the responsibilities of the sacred office ; ana most cordially commend these Semina-
ries to the sympathies of the Church.
Resolved, 7. That this Assembly expresses its deep conviction of the wisdom and
necessitv of placing our colleges on such a pecuniary foundation, as to accomplish
most eflfectually the purpose of their establishment ; and, inasmuch as thev are an es-
sential part of onr educational system, it earnestly recommends, to the churches and
presbyteries, the exercise of a wise discretion in the location of such institutions, and
that they gather around those already established by pioneer faith and aeal, with a
cordial sympathy and corresponding liberality.

132 THB PRASBTTBRIAK ORHROH, (K. S.)
The Second Presbyterian Chnrcb, in the city of Chicago, was
formed by a colony of twenty-six persons from the First Presbyte-
rian Church, and was organized on the first day of June, 1842.
Its organization was conducted with the full concurrence of the
session and principal members of the First Church, and its pastor,
the Bev. Flavel Basoom; for the purpose of extending the Bedeem-
er's kingdom by a more adequate provision for the future moral
wants of the rapidly Rowing city.
The articles of faith and covenant were adopted, and Messrs.
B. W. Baymond, S. Willard, and W. H. Brown, were chosen Buling
Elders. Immediately after its organization, the Church extended
a call to the Bev. Bobert W. Patterson, which was accepted ; he
was ordained and installed by the Presbytery of Ottawa, on the
14th of September, 1842, and is still their Pastor. In the follow-
ing year, Capt. S. Johnson and J. C. Williams, were elected Elders,
making five in all. On the removal of Capt. Johnson, Thos. B.
Carter was elected in 1845. J. A. Wight was elected in 1848. In
April, 1856, he was ordained a Minister of the Gospel, when B.
D. Jones, E. Baker, and D. B. Holt, were elected, increasing the
number to seven.
The session consists, at present, of the following members, Bev.
B. W. Patterson, Pastor ; Elders, E. Baker, W. H. Brown, P. B.
Carter, B. D. Jones, D. B. Holt, B. W. Baymond, and J. C. Wil-
liams. The Church increased in strength, and it numbers at present
875 members, being one of the largest, most flourishing, and in-
fluential congregations in the denomination. The whole number
admitted from all sources since its organization has been 575. Of
these, more than one third have been received on profession of
their faith, the remainder being additions from other churches, the
largest number being from the Congregational, with a few from the
Baptist, Dutch Beformed, Episcopal, Methodist, and Beformed Pres-
byterian.
Since the organization, between one and two hundred have been
dismissed to other churches. Of those sent out to new enterprises,
twelve were dismissed to aid in forming the Westminster (Presby.j
Church, eleven the North Presbyterian, (O. S.,) three the Thira
Presbyterian, and two the New England (Cong.) Church. Between
thirty and forty members have died, a large proportion of them du-
ring the Asiatic Cholera seasons of 1849, '50, '51, '52 and '54. Nine
persons have been* excommunicated, but with two exceptions, they

iMQ of the Ohuroh, besides one, and sometimte two fenial^ prayer-
meetings, held during the week, at private residences. This has
tended to keep up a lively interest in spiritual things, at times
when the Ohurch at large has been in a cold, dead state, and although
no season until the present has been signalized by a very large
number of conversions, many have found hope from time to time^
through the influence of these meetings.
There have been five seasons of peculiar interest, when the Holy
Spirit has descended with unusual power ; those of the winter and
spring of the years 1847) '60, '52, '64, and during the present year.
Each successive manifestation of the Holy Spirit has been more
marked and powerful than that which preceded it ; the last onOi
which is still in a measure continued, being the most important,
having resulted thus far in the hopeful conversion of nearly one
hundred souls. During these seasons of interest, the number of
meetings for prayer and preaching has been much increased, daily
prayer-meetings being held at times, for months in succession.
Many who have become hopeful converts during these seasons, have
formed other Church relations.
A Sabbath school in connection with the Church has, from the
beginning, been sustained, and numbers at present nearly 200 mem-
hers. In addition to this school, for several years two mission
schools have been sustained by the members of the Church, one
numbering 200, and the other oOO members, being situated, one on
the north side of the river, at the Bethel Church, the other in the
south part of the city, at the corner of Taylor and Buffalo Sts.
The present superintendent of the school in connection with the
Church is Devillo B. Holt.
A flourishing in&nt class is also in operation, and at the close of
the morning service, a Bible Class for young men, and two Jbr
young ladies, are held.
A Young Men's Christian Association was organised in January^
1856 ; its object being to promote mutual acquaintance among the
young men of the Church and Congregation, and to enlist them in
useful labours. The two Mission Schools before mentioned, are
under their care, and they have employed the Rev. J. A. Wight, a
member of Chicago Presby., as a City Missionary, with a salary of
$1200. The financial affairs of the Church are in a prosperous con-
dition. The annual income of the Church is now nearly $5000,
which is derived from the rent of their pews.
A collection taken up at each communion, forms a fund for the
relief of any indigent persons connected with the Church, and for
any other similar use, if there is no such call for the money. Many
boxes of clothing, &c., have been prepared, and sent off to indigent
ministers of the gospel, by the ladies; a society of whom meet
weekly for this purpose. The donations of the Church for benevo*
lent purposes since its organization, up to 1856, amounted to $36,«
827. For that year, they were $7,890. The public services of the
church were at first held for several Sabbaths in the City Saloon^
and then, by invitation, for a season, in the Unitarian Church.

184 THE FRSSBYTBRIAK CHUBOH, (N. 8.)
In July, 1842, a plain edifice, 40 by 60 feet, and costing about
$1600, was commenced, on the south side of Randolph Street, east
of Clark Street, and dedicated on the 13th of Sept., and this build-
ing with two additions, one in 1843, the other in 1847, served the
uses of the Church till 1851, when the handsome Gothic edifice
which they now occupy, was finished.
The lot on which this building stands, was purchased in 1847,
the corner-stone laid in Aug., 1849 ; the work finished in the latter
part of 1850, and it was dedicated to the service of God, on the 24th
of Jan., 1851. The building was designed by J. Benwick, Jr., of
New York, and is located on Wabash Avenue and Washington St.
The material is limestone mixed with silex, and strongly impregna-
ted with bitumen, or petroleum, which gives to the colour a peculiar
variety of light and snade, and imparts to the exterior of the build-
ing a remarkably ancient and unique appearance. The breadth of
the front, including the tower, is eighty feet, and the whole depth
180 feet. The audience-room is 64| by 82|, and the lecture-room,
back, 27 by 84. The number of pews on the first floor is 144, on
the second floor, exclusive of orchestra, 60. It is capable of seating
1400 persons. The entrance front is finished with two towers, the
height of the larger one, being 165 feet. A large organ built by E«
Andrews, of Utica, was purchased in 1854, which cost $3600. The
cost of edifice, ground, organ, and clock is about $50,000. The
building alone, about $40,000. The value of property has increased
so much since its erection, that it is now worth, ground included,
from $110,000 to $120,000.
The Second Presbyterian Church has, firom its organization on-
ward, had a steady and healthful growth ; and has never before
been as strong as it now is. It a£fords an example of conservative
pjx)gres6, of moderation without sluggishness, of the Kingdom com-
ing *'not with observation." 7ew other Churches in the denomina-
tion are more prosperous, or more widely useful ; and few other
congregations are larger, or more influential.

THE UNITED SYNOD OF THK PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. 135
THE UNITED SYNOD
OF THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
IN THE UNITED SATES OF AMERICA.
This body was organized in Knoxville, Tenn. — on the second
day of April, 1858. The following address, issued by members of
the General Assembly, which met in Cleveland, Ohio, in May,
1857, sets forth the reasons for the organization :
Dear Brethrin : — ^The undersigned, members of the General Assembly now in sea-
sion in Cleveland, Ohio, are constrained to address you with reference to Ihe state
of our beloved Church, nd to indicate the course which should be pursued by all
who adhere to the principles of our Constitution, as interpreted by its framers, and as
practically ackDOwiedged during the ahnost entire period of our history as a church.
The action of the present Assembly on the subject of Slavery, especially when con-
sidered in connection with the spirit and manifest purpose of several of the Western
Synods, has impressed us with the belief that peace and harmony can no longer pre-
vail amongst us ; that the Assembly, as at present constituted, instead of bebg a bond
of union l^tween different sections of the church, will continue to be the theatre of
strife and discord ; and that the glory of God, the welfare of our churches, and the
good of the country demand a separation of the discordant elements, and the existence
of another Assembly, in which the agitation of the Slavery question will be unknown.
We had hoped that our brethren who have been disposed to introduce this subject
into the General Assembly would ere this have been convinced that no good could
result to the Church from this agitation — that it was alienating brethren of a common
Christian faith, and was calculated to render the condition of the slave more undesira-
ble, and to sunder the ties that bind our union together. In this regard we have
been sadly disappointed. In consequence of the political agitation of the subject,
and of the pressure brought to bear upon them by Congregational Churches holding
the most ultra abolition sentiments, many of our Western Presbyteries have become
more urgent in demanding progressive action of the Assembly. They have not been
satisfied with the past declarations of the Assembly. They have desired the Assembly
to express its views of the sin of slave-holding so clearly, that they can be made the
basis of discipline by the Courts of the Churcn. This action has now been virtually
taken by the Assembly. It has avowed that the relation of ouister and servant —
which necessarily involves the idea of property in the services of the latter — is a sin
in the sight of God, an o^nce in the sense in which the term is used in the Constitu-
tion of Uie Church. This declaration has been made, although confessedly there is
not the most remote allusion to slave-holding in our standards, and also with the
knowledge of the fact that when our Constitution was adopted, twelve out of the
thirteen States were slave-holding States, and many of those who composed the As-
sembly of 1789, if not slave-holders themselves, were the representatives of Presbyte-
ries in which were churches whose members were slave-holders. We regard this ac-
tion of the General Assembly as a palpable violation of the spirit and letter of the
Constitution of the Church. The principle involved in it, if carried into practice, would
convert the hig:liest judicatory of the Church into an ecclesiastical despotism as tyranni-
cal as that which has distinguished the Church of Rome. It makes the Assembly not
only the interpreter of law in an irregular way, but also the supreme legislature of the
Church— a position which has been always repudiated by the Presbvterian Church.
Apart, therefore, from the disastrous consequence resulting from the agitation of the
subject of Shivery in the General Assembly — destroying, as it does, our peace, keeping,
us in a state of excitement unfavourable to spiritual growth, and paralyzing our efforts
to advance the cause of the Redeemer through the channel of our admiraUe system

of government — we consider that the Assembly has so far departed from the Consti-
tution of the Church as to render our adherence to it undesirable and imj^ible.
Having protested repeatedly against this agitatioB, and fiudins that our brethren are
determined to continue it, we have deliberately and prayerfuny come to the conclu-
sion that, however painftil it may be to us, the good of toe Church and of the coun-
try required a separation from them. We shall hold our brethren who have disturbed
our peace, by the introduction of this vexed question into our judicatories, as iJone re-
sponsible for the coDsequenoes of this division.
With these convictions as to the necessity of a separation from our once united and
beloved Zion, the only question that remains for as now to settle, pertains to the
mode of separation. The undersigned are satisfied that but one course is left to us —
and that il^ to invite all Constitutional Presbyterians in the land, who are oppcoed to
the agitation of Slavery in the General AflBembly, to nnite in an organization in
which this subject shall be utterly eschewed. We do not restrict our invitation to
the Southern Churches. We wish to have a National Church — that is, a Church,
the constituent parts of which will come from every section of the Union, Holdii^
to the same Confession of Faith, we shall have a common Imsis as to doctrine and gov-
ernment—and an understanding that, however, we may differ in our views respecting
Slavery, the subject is never to bo introduced into the Assembly either by Northern
or Southern men, uniera, indeed indicial cases are brought up regularly from the lower
courts. In the judgment of the undersigned, this course is our only alternative.
There is so much of the same abolition spirit pervading other Churches that adhere
to the same standards of Faith, that we could not expect peace on this subject by
uniting with them. We are persuaded that, although this question may be sup-
pressra in their judicatories for a while, the abolition spirit exists to such an extent as
to threaten their dismemberment. The result may be that the disturbing elements of
the different branches of the Presbyterian Church may be united in one body, and
that the conservative portions of the same may ultimately be brought together, and
thus prove more efficient in promoting the cause of the Redeemer, and in diffusing
through the land a truly national spirit. At present, however, the union of these
Churdies would not afford relief to tnose who are wearied of this Slavery agitation.
We are desirous of forming an organization where we shall not be liable to another
division from this exciting subject
The undersigned, therefore, would invite all Presbyterians, fVoro all sections of the
country, to meet in Convention in the city of Washington, on the 27th dav of August,
1857, for the purpose of consultation, and of organizing a General Assembly, io which
it will be distinctly understood, the subject of Slavery will not be introduced. [ The
place for the meeting of the proposed Convention was afterwards changed to Rich*
mond, Ya., — ^in the United Presbyterian Church.] We propose this course, instead
of organizing an Assembly at once, as being due to the Presbyteries we represent
We would suggest that the Presbyteries be called together as soon as possible ; and
that, while the Presbyteries appoint their delegates to the Convention in the usual
proportion, it is desirable that as many ministers and elders should attend tlie Conven-
tion as can do so. We suggest, also, that In case any of the Presbyteries desiring to be
connected with this new Assembly, should find it impossible to be represented in the Con*
rention, it would be important that the Convention should be informed of their action.
Praying that God may overrule the distractions of Zion for his own glory, and that
we may be guided in this crisis of our history by hia unerring counsel, we subscribe
ourselves your brethren in Christ,

the action taken is a violation <tf the Constitution of the Charch, we eordially unite
in the above invitation.

— ^submitted their report, which was elaborately discussed, and after
amendment was adopted, and is as follows :
Whereas, all acts, resolutions, and testimonies of past General Aflsemblies. and espe-
ciallv the action of the last Gleneral Assembly, whereby suspicions and doubts of the
good standing and equal rights and privileges of slaveholding members of the Church,
or imputations or charges against their Christian character, have been either implied
or expressed, are contrary to the example and teachings of Christ and his Apostles,
and are a violation of the Constitution of the Presbyterian Church :
And, whereas, the relation of master and servant, in itself considered ^ or further
than the relative duties arising therefrom, and slavery, as an institution of the State,
do not properly belong to the Church judicatories as subjects for discussion and in-
quiry :
And, whereas, in the judgment of the Convention, there Is no prospect of the cessa-
tion of this agitation of slavery in the General Assembly so long as there are slave-
holders in connection with the Church ; therefore,
. 1. Resolved, That we recommend to the Presbyteries in connection with the Gene>
ral Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America, to with-
draw from said body.
2. Resdvedj That in the judgment of this Convention, nothing can be made the
basis for discipline in the Presbyterian Church which is not specifically referred to in
the Constitution, as crime or heresy.
3. Resolved, That the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church have no power
to pronounce a sentence of condemnation on a lower judicatory or individuals for any
cause, unless they have been brought before the Assembly in the way prescribed by
the Constitution.
4. Resolvedj That the Convention recommend to all the Presbvteries in the Presby-
terian Church, which are opposed to the agitation of slavery in the highest judicatory
of the Church, to appoint delegates, in the proportion prescribed by our Form of
(Government for the appointment of Commissioners to the Assembly, to meet at Knox-
ville, Tenn., on the first Thursday in AprU, 1858, for the purpose of organizing a
general Synod under the name of ** The United Synod of the Presbyterian Church in
the United States of America."
6. Resolved, That the members of this Convention adhere to and abide by the Con-
fession of Faith of the Presbyterian Church, as containing the system of doctrine
taught in the Holy Scripture ; and that we adhere to the Form of Government and
Book of Discipline of said Church.
On motion it was
Resolved, That a Union between us and our Old School brethren, could it be effected
on terms acceptable on both sides, would be conducive to the best interests of the
Church of Christ ; and this Convention, after a free and full interchanee of views and
opinions on this subject, do now recommend that the United Synod, when formed
and dul^ organized, shall invite the General Assembly (0. S.) to a fraternal conference
with us in reference to such union.

THE UNITED SYNOD
OP THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
In pursuance of the recommendation of the Convention held in
Eichmond, Va ; Commissioners appointed by the Presbyteries here-
after mentioned, met in the Secona Presbyterian Church in Knox-
ville, Tenn., on the 1st of April, 1858, at 7 J P. M., and was opened
with a
Mat. zxviii. 20. And lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world
Precious words I conveying the last promise of our blessed Sa-
viour, coupled with his last and most imperative command to his
faithful servants, "Go ye, therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy
Ghost ; teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have com-
manded you ; and lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of
the world." The promise accompanies the command to teach all
nations. The world is to be converted. The disciples were in-
structed to enter upon the work ; to preach the gospel wholly and
solely. The design of preaching should always be the conversion,
the sanctificatioD, and the saving of souls. What a beautiful exam-
ple we have in the conduct of the apostles I They stopped not to
arrange government ; they accepted that as it was, believing that
the powers that be are ordained of God ; they did not wander off
into metaphysical abstractions; they thought of nothing, preached
nothing, save Christ and him crucified. Their reliance was on God;
they obeyed the divine command ; thev fulfilled their mission, and
their Master verified his promise, and he was with them. See him
there, standing amid a scoffing, jeering, hissing crowd, persecuted,
crucified. He was taken from them, but he was to meet with them
again. The disciples had been to Jesus and had learned of him, and
their Saviour was with them, not in his bodily presence indeed, but
in the sight of &ith by his spirit. Divine strength now guides
them ; holy love fires and impels them'; Christ is with them. Thus
they go forth in his name, speaking and acting wondrous things.
It was Christ that was with them ; he it was that enabled them to
revile not against those that persecuted them — to forgive their ene-
mies — ^to labour and pray for those that most despitefuUy used
them.

But the command was to preach to all the world, and to every
(Sreature. Surely it was not intended for the apostles alone. They
could not live long enough to penetrate to every section of the
globe ; they were too few to hope to address every sinful, erring
creature. They could not even reach all the Boman Empire, much
less the world. The oommand was then not solely to the Apostolic
Church. The promise accompanied the command, and whoever
fulfils the command receives the promise. Outward prosperity is
not necessarily included in, but it will be fulfilled to those who obey
it. Christ was in the fiery furnace with Shadrach, Meshech, and
Abednego. He is always with his people in their trials. He was
present to comfort the early disciples in their persecutions, and he
always will sustain those who trust in him. Tne apostles did not
stop on account of sufiTering. Jewish councils could not suppress
them, nor could imperial authority drive them iVom the &ce of the
earth, because Christ was with them. They introduced Christianity
into the Boman Empire. In course of time that Christianity be^
came corrupted ; papal innovations were introduced ; councils and
popes established ; new rites and doctrines laid down ; prayers to
the saints, confessions to the priests, religious homage to pictures
and images taught; excommunication from the church was the
penalty for not adhering to its decisions. For more than a thous-
and years thick moral darkness enveloped the earth. During all
this time, where was Christ? Where? With his people. Every
heart purified was a temple. Every house consecrated was a church.
Was he in his degraded Church — when they were anathema*
tizing each other and excommunicating from their Councils ? Oh
no. His promise was only to those who teach and preach what he
has commanded. In every age he has had his own people. When
the Jewish Church lo8t sight of God, amid the fogs of their rites,
customs, and superstitions, he could find an humble unpretending
family to whom he could manifest his presence at Bethlehem.
While Bomish clouds obscured the Sun of Bighteoosness, he had
his faithful men, the Donatists, who here and there in little commu-
nities still adhered to the truth, mingled though it may have been
with somewhat of error. In his own good time God raised up good
men, such as John Huss, Jerome of Prague, and others. Burned
at the stake they were, but Jesus Christ was with his servants.
Who can read their lives without believing that Wicklifie would
have met a similar fiite, had he lived long enough ? But afler having
rendered invaluable service by the translation of the Bible, God
permitted him to die peacefully in his bed. Luther, Calvin, Me-
lanchthon, and Beza, and a host of mighty champions for the truth,
rose from the earth. John Knox dealt such heavy blows upon the
pillars, the supports of Bomanism in Scotland, that the whole su-
perstructure fell to the earth. But there were times when even
those men were tempted to despond. But if they had? The world,
wealth, power, influence, every earthly oonsideration were leagued
against them. But in Christ they trusted, and sang with Luther
the 46th Psalm. With a price set upon the persecuted man's

His beloved Scotland roust lie do wd and surrender to papal tyranny.
He could do nothing more. But in his retirement he watched a
persevering spider building his web» time and again he failed, and
as often renewed the attempt until at length success crowned hia
efforts. He learned the lesson from it, '^ Does not God speak to me
by this little insect 7^ From his breaking heart he cried, " Oh Jesus,
E've me Scotland, give me Scotland or I die,'' and Protestant Scot-
nd, the most Christianized of nations, is a bright memorial of his
persevering efforts.
Christ manifests bis presencOi He gives emphatic evidence of it in
various ways. He reveals it to the heart of the man. He exhibits
it in revivals. Do we forget the works of Divine grace in our own
land under Whitefield, Edwards, Tennent^ and Davies? Thou-
sands upon thousands were converted. True, there was a reaction,
a decline, but as after harvest )t is necessary that there should
be a sifting to separate the wheat from the chaff that has been
gathered in, so in the religious world, the harvest gathered into
the Church needs purifying and cleansing. But this revival was
an infinite blessing to this land and the world. It checked infi-
delity. Those were dark days. Voltaire was in the height of his
fisime. Frederick of Prussia was decking infidelity with the charms
of regal magnificence. Shaftesbury's works, with Bolingbroke's com-
ments, were being circulated. Collins, Hobbes, and a host of Ea«
glish, French, and Prussian writers were deluging the world with
their deistic and atheistic notions. Just then *'a new light" burst
forth. The Gospel preached became the power of God unto salva-
tion. Many leading skeptics were overpowered. Truly, Christ
was there.
Again, shortly after the war of Independence, our land was in
peril. French infidelity^ by reason of French sympathy, was gain-
ing a strong foothold in this country. Tom Paine was a great re-
publican. He was in the. height of his popularity. His books
were found among the soldiers, in the camp, everywhere. A large
edition, labelled on the cover, '^Holy Bible," had been sent over to
this country, and found their way to every section. His princi-
ples were boldly defended. Priestley's principles, too, were under-
mining the more refined circles. Then, again, God displayed his
wondrous power to save. The standard of the Lord was unfurled,
and his wonderful works of redeeming love and praise revealed ;
Gideon Blackburn, Blythe, James Turner, Cleland, Wm. Hill, and
many others, are familiar to you — mighty men, endowed with in-
tellect, and above all, with a double portion of the Spirit of God.
At that time he prepared the way for domestic and foreign Missions,
and made necessary Theological Seminaries. From a few individu-
als at that time, sprung up a mighty body of Christians — the Cum-
berland Presbyterians. The Master has been with them, as be is
with all who preach the leading doctrines of the Christian re*
ligion.

cal establishment — ^but to all who hold steadfast these great truths,
and teach man so. Wherever he finds his truth, there does he
abide. The highest happiness on earth, is in the consciousness of
his presence ; if he is with us, all is well. When Paul was in
trouble, Christ appeared to him and said: ''Be of good cheer."
And he is always with his people, to comfort and sustain them. It
matters not, whether they be a large or a small body, they may be
sure that Christ is with them.
We are here to-night, because God has led us. We give our
cause into his hand.
The course of our commissioners to the General Assembly, at
Cleveland, was almost universally approved among us. The Con«
vention met in Bichmond, in the fear of God, pervaded by a spirit
of prayer. The spirit of Jesus was with us, and led us to harmo-
nious views. Union and love prevailed. The final vote was unani-
mous. God was with us. His word preached there, led sinners to
Christ. I raise the Ebenezer, ana write on it, " The Lord has
brought us here." Here we are, to organize a body to execute his
last command — but let us remember that it makes little difference
whether that body be large or small. Without God's presence, let
us not move one step. Our hearts' desire is to fulfil his commands.
He is with us. Let no man falter or despond for an instant, and
when we come to the solemn act of organization, let us lay our«
selves, our churches, our all, upon this altar, and say: "Here we
are, Lord." Even now, the place is filled with his glory. He looks
on and addresses us as he did his disciples, '' Lo, I am with you."
Brethren, let us go forward, Christ is with us, and will be with us
to the end.
What is true of the Church, is true of every Christian man. Ap-
ply the words to yourselves, individually. Accept the command,
and he will be with you. But the sinner who does not follow him,
who forfeits his claim to Christ's last promise, who spurns, despises
him — what companion will he have to accompany him through life
and across that dark river ?
After singing the 519th hymn,
'* Pour out thy Spirit from on high,"
the benediction was pronounced.
The Commissioners were called to order by the Bev. J. D. Mitch-
ell, who presided in the organization of the Synod, and Bev. A.
Blackburn acted as Clerk.

It was moved and carried that the Commissioners present do
now proceed to the formation of the United Synod, by the election
of the usual officers. Whereupon Rev. Charles H. Read, D. D.,
was unanimously chosen Moderator; Rev. Robert MoLain was
chosen Temporary Clerk, and Rev. J. N. Bradshaw, Assistant
Clerk.
It was moved and carried that this body be styled and hereafter
known by the name of "The United Synod of the Presbyterian
Church in the United States of America."
Rev. Thomas D. Bell, of Harrisonburg, Va., was elected Stated
Clerk, and Rev. Joseph H. Martin, of Knoxville, Tenn., Perma-
nent Clerk of Synod.
The Committee on Bills and Overtures reported a paper, setting
forth a Declaration of Principles for the consideration and action of
Synod, which after a few verbal alterations was unanimously adop-
ted, and is as follows :
Whereas J In the Providence of God, we, the reDresentatiyes of Presbyteries hereto-
fore in connection with the General Assembly of tne Presbyterian Church in the Uoi?
ted States of America, have been constrained by a regard to our convictions of duty to
ourselves, to the Church of Christ, and to our entire country, to withdraw from said
General Assembly, and to form a separate ecclesiastical judicatory, under the name
of the United Synod of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America, to
be possessed of powers similar to those recognized in the Confession of Faith, as be-
longing to the General Assembly ; and Whereas, It seems to be necessary, in order
to avoid misapprehensions of our position, both now and hereafter, that we should
place upon permanent record, a statement of the principles which have governed us
in forming a separate organization ; therefore —
Resolved, That this ** United Synod" make the following Declaration of Principles,
as, in their judgment, in accordance with the Word of God, and the Constitution of
the Presbyterian Church, and as essential to the peace, unity and permanent pros-
perity of the Presbyterian Church in this land.
1. We declare our agreement in, and approbation of, the Westminster Confession
of Faith, with the Larger and Shorter Catechisms of the Westminster Assembly, as
containing the system of doctrine taught in the Holy Scriptures ; and also our adhe-
rence to the Form of Government and Book of Discipline of the Presbyterian Church
in these United States.
In thus adopting the Westminster Confession of Faith as containing the system
of doctrine taught in the Holy Scriptures, we adopt it in the sense in which we be-
lieve the fathers of the American Presbyterian Church received it, to wit : not as
requiring an agreement in sentiment with every opinion expressed in said Confession,
but a belief in the fundamental doctrines of Christianity, and in the doctrines which
distinguish the Calvinistic system from the Pelagian, Sociiiian, Arminian, and other
systems of Theology. This system we understand to include the following doctrines,
viz : the Trinity ; the Incarnation and Supreme Deity of Christ; the Fall and Original

8iD; AtoDenMDt; Justification by Faith; Peraoiml Electioo ; Eflfeetaal Calling;
Peraeveraiice of the Sainbi ; Etenml HappinesB of the righteous, and Eternal Pudim-
ment of the wicked. Whilst varioiiB modes of stating and explaining these truths
may be adopted, yet when they are received according to the nsual way of interpret-
ing language, and as they have been onderstood by the great body of the Presbyte-
rian Church m this country, from the period of the adoption of the Westminster Coo-
feflsion, in 1729, to the present day, the requisitions of the Confession of Faith are
complied with, and all such persons are to be regarded as having received as their
doctrinal creed this system of doctrines taught in the Holy Scriptures.
2. It is a fundamental principle of the Constitution of the Presbyterian Chnrch,
that no judicatory, or minister, or private member, can be censured or condemned,
or excluded from diurch privileges, by any court of the church, for doctrinal senti-
ments expressed, or for practices that tiie court may regard as sinful and inconsistent
with the requirements of the Confession of Faith, without a process of trial, such as
18 prescribea in said Constitution. To censure or condemn individuals or judicatories,
for heresy or crime, is a judicial act ; and if a court of the church has the constitutional
right, in any case, to condemn or cut off from the church, members or judicatories,
for heresy or crime, wUkout trials it can be exercised whenever, in their judgment,
•aid members or jodicatories are guilty of teaching heresy or practising immorality;
and thus the Constitution would not onW be inconsistent with itself, but it would
sanction the violation of the principles of"^ common justice, which are recognized in
every civilized countrv in the world.
3. According to the Constitution of the Presbyterian Church, the General As-
sembly is an advisorv and judicial body. It possesses no legiriative power in the pro-
per acceptation of the term. It cannot enact laws that are binding upon the lower
judicatories. The constitution expressly provides that all ecclesiastical rules or
changes in the Constitution shall receive the approval of a majority of the Presbyte-
ries before they can be obligatory upon the churches. This *" United Synod," there*
fore, disclaims the right to l^islate, or to make laws upon any snbiect that will be
binding upon the lower judicatories, or upon any portion of tlie Presbyterian -Church.
4. In virtue of their advisory capacity, the different judicatories of the Presbyte-
rian Church can testify against what they may regard as heresies and immoralities
prevailing in the community. But they have no power to bear their testimony against
judicatories, or ministers, or private members of the church, for teaching heretical
sentiments, or practising immoralities. The testifying and judicial powers of church
judicatories are distinct They cannot perform Ajudicicd act in their advisory ca>
pacity. To individuaUzef in thie form of testimony, judicatories, or ministers, or pri-
vate members, as guilty of heresy or immorality, is assuming their guilt, without proof
or trial. This " United Synod," therefore, whilst they recognize the right of the ja«
dicatories of the church, in a judicial capacity, to prosecute ministers and private
members for heresy and crime, in the way prescribed by the Book of Discipline, af*
firm that it would be a palpable violation of the spirit and letter of the Coostitntioa
of the Presbyterian Church, for any judicatory in its advisory capacity to bear its
testimony acainst other judicatories, or ministers, or private members, for s
J acainst other judicatories, or mmisters, or prrvate members, for supposed
heresy or crime, and wiUiout such a judicial process as is specified in the Book of
Discipline.
5. In the judgment of this *' United Synod," nothing can be made the basis of dis-
cipline in the Presbyterian Church, which is not specifieaUy referred to in the Consti-
tution of the Church as crime or heresy. The Westminster Confession of Faith, with
the Larger and Shorter Catechisms, contains what we believe to be essential to truth
and morality. Presbyterians profess to be governed by ConsiUutumal law as it is de-
veloped in the Confession of Faith, and not by the opinions of a Session, or Presby-
tery, or Synod, or General Assembly, further than tliey act in a judicial capacity with
respect to matters distinctly referred to in said Confession. A departure from this
prioeiple, and a recognition of the right of an ecclesiastical judicatory to decide what
18 heresy or crime, when there is no allusion in the Confession of Faith to that which
is so regarded, would be tantamount to making the judicatory, instead of the Confes*
siott of Faith, the standard of truth aix) morality, and as the decision of one judica-
tory cannot bind another, there might be as many difierent opinions in reference to
the supposed heresy or crime, as there are judicatories in the Church. This ** United
Synod,'' therefore, deny the right of any ludicatory of the Presbyterian Church to
make anything a subject of discipline which, accordmg to the usual' mode of interpret*

in^ langaage, and the manifest intent of the framec9 of the CopfeeiBioD, is not specifi-
caily referred to in the Constitution of the Church.
6. As slaveholding, or the relation between master and slaye, is not referred to in
the Confession of Faith, either directly or indirectly, as an offence,, it cannot, in Uself
considered^ in any case, be made the basis of discipline in the Presbyterian Church.
At the same time, we declare the right of the Church Courts to take cognizance, in
their judicial capacity, of cruelties practised in this and other relations in life. Tiie
Confession of Faith gives to Church judicatories the power to discipline members
of the Church for cruelties, whether the^ occur in the parental or any other relation,
implying in the language of the Confession, superiors and inferiors,
7. Inasmuch as slaveholders were admitted into the Churches organized by the
Apostles, and as neither Christ nor his Apostles intimated that the slavehotding rela-
tion wa»a sin, although they lived in the midst of the institution,) and enjoined upon
masters to treat their slaves with kindness, it follows necessarily, that a Church Court
that makes slaveholding, in any ciise^ a bar to oommuttion, is usurping authority that
belongs only to the Great Heaid of the Cbnrch. . Such a Court would be legislating
where Christ has not legislated. It would be prescribing terms of membership which
the Son of God himself did not prescribe, notwithstanding he was surrounded by
slaveholders. I'his Synod denies that any ecclesiastical judicatory, has the. power to
make terms of membership which neither Christ nor his Apostles recognized, when
placed in similar circumstances as respects the existence of toe slaveholdmg relation.
• 8. Inasmuch as neither the Saviour nor his Apostles intimated that the slavehold-
ing relation was sinful, and as they did not attempt to remove slaveholders, from the
church by legislation or by testifying against it; and further, asr tj^e system of slavery
is an institution of the State, its continuance or abolition depending entirely upon the
will of the State, irrespective of the views and decisions of church, courts, it is the
opinion of this Synod that the discussion or agitation. of slavery in the judicatories
of the Church, except so &r as respects the moral and religious duties growing out
of the relation of master and slave, is inappropriate to said jodio^tocies. This Synod
representing Presbyteries that have withdrawn from their former ecclesiastical con-
nection, because of the reputed and unconstitutional action on slavery by the General
Assembly, therefore declares, that, under the present Constitution of the Presbyterian
Church, the agitation of slavery in any of our judicatories, further, than pertains to
Uie moral and religions duties arising from the relation, would be inconsistent with
the design of our withdrawal from our former connection, and in forming a separate
organization. Whilst, then, we propose no alteration of the Constitution of the
Presbyterian Church, believing thatas it now stands the spirit of it.ia against the agita-
tion of slaveholding in the Church, we express the opinion that those who unite with
US, or who may come after us, will be under a moral obligation, so Jong as the Constitu-
tion remains as it is, to exclude slavery, the agitation of which has already divided three
large denominations in this eountry, as a subject of discussion from the Church Courts.
9. Entertaining the above views, and disclaiming all responsibility for, and endorse^
meut of the actions, resolutions, and testimonies of past General Assemblies of the
Presbyterian Church, whereby suspicions and doubts of the good standing and equal
rights and privileges of the slaveholding members of the Church, or implications or
charges a^inst their Christian character, have been either implied ox exj>nessed, this
" Ignited Synod" is organized. And to avoid misapprehensions of our position, we
hereby express the wish that Presbyteries from every section of the Union — who
adopt the Westminster Confession of Faith as their system of doctrine, and adhere to
its Form of Government and Book of Discipline, and who, whatever may be their
opinion of slavery as a civil institution, believe that the relation of master and servant
should be no bar to membership in the Church of Christ, aud that the agitation of the
question of slavery, further than pertains to the performance of the ^uties which the
Scriptures state as imposed upon the master and slave, is inappropriate to . the funo-
tions of the Church, and therefore ought not to be introduced into the Church Courts-—
should unite with our body, and thus aid in the diffusion of the truths of our common
Christianity, free from an agitation that has already resulted in the dismemberment
of several evangelical Churches.
A report from the Committee on Bills and Overtures, relating
to terms of union with the Old School General Assembly, was adop-
ted, and is as follows :
19

146 PRB8BTTBRIAN HISTORICAL ALMANAO.
Wfterea$t This Synod believe that a union between Christian brethren who adopt
the same standards of fkith and practice, when it can be eflH'ted without compro-
mitting vital principles, is always desirable; and Wher«u, The sentiment exists
among members of oar churches that a union between this Synod and the Old School
Oeneral Assembly might be effected upon terms honourable to both parties : and
Wkereast The Convention of ministers and laymen held in Richmond, Ya., in Au^t,
1857, for the purpose of consulting as to the wisest course to be pursued by those
who felt aggrievea by the abolition action of the General Assembly at Cleveland, Ohio,
in May, 1857, recommended to this Synod, when organised, to anpoint a Committee to
confer with one from the Old School Assembly, (if they should think proper to appoint
a Committee for the purpose,) with reference to a union of these two branches of the
Presbyterian Church ; therefore—
1 . Resohedt That a Committee of two be appointed to confer with a Committee of
the Old School Assembly, in the event of that body appointing one for the purpose,
with reference to a union of the two bodies.
2. Resolved, That Bev. 0. H. Bead, D. D., and Bev. M. M. Marshall be said
Committee, and that Bev. JL H. H. Boyd, D. D., and Bev. Bobt. McLain be al-
ternates.
.3. Reeolved, Tliat said Committee be directed to propose to the Committee ap-
pointed by the General Assembly the following terms cf union, as indispensable to an
honourable union on our part :
Firet. We agree to unite as ecdesiastical bodies bv declaring, as this Synod now
does, our approval of the Westminster Confession of Faith, and Larger and Shorter
Catechbms, as an orthodox and excellent system of christian doctrine— end also our
adherence to the plan of Worship, Government, and Discipline contained in the West-
minster Directory.
Second, Both bodies agree in declaring it to be a fundamental principle in the
Presbyterian Church, that no judicatory of the Church can, for any cause tohatevert
by an act of l^slation, constitutionally condemn, or exclude fVom tne Church other
judicatories, or ministers, or private members, without a prooera of trial, such as la
prescribed in the Constitution of the Presbyterian Church.
Third, Both bodies agree that it is consistent with the requirements of the West-
minster Confession of Faith, to receive said Confession according to the Adopting
Act of 1729, to wit : as containing all the essential truths of Christianity, and also
the doctrines that distinguish the Calvinistio from the Pdagian, Socinian, and Ar^
minian s^tems of Theology. We agree, likewise, in believing that this system of
doctrine includes the following truths, viz : the Trinity ; the Incarnation and Deity
of Christ ; the Fall and Original Sin ; Atonement ; Justification by Faith ; Personal
Election ; Eflfectual Calling ; Perseverance of the Saints ; the Eternal Happiness of
the righteous, and Eternal Panishment of the wicked.
Fourth. Both bodies agree in declaring that slaveholdinp^, or the relation of mas-
ter and slave, cannot, in ani( ease, be a bar to membership m the Church of Christ.
And whilst they admit the right of the judicatories of the Church to take cognizance,
in the way prescribed in Uie Constitution, of cruelties practised in the relation, they
hereby declare the opinion Uiat, as the continuance or abolition of the system of sla-
very m this country belongs exclusively to the State, the discussion or agitation of
slavery, further than pertains to the moral and religious duties arising from the rela-
tion, is inappropriate to the functions of Church indicatories.
Fifth, it is further agreed that in efifecting the union, the Presbyteries connected
with this Synod shall be united as Presbyteries, and without an examination of their
ministers, with the Synods belonging to the General Assembly to which, because of
their geographical limits, they should be attached, excepting that the Synod of Ten.
nessee and the North Alabama Presbytery shall retain their name, and occupy their
present territory.
Sixth. In the event of the General Assembly agreeing to the above terms, the
Committee of Synod are directed to communicate the fact to the Presbyteries in con-
nection with the Synod, and the Presbyteries are hereby requested by the United
Synod to take action upon the terms of union agreed upon b^ the Committees of Synod
and the General Assembly, and to send a copy of their minute to the United Synod
that will meet in Lynchburg on the third Thursday in May, 1859.
Seoenth. The Committee appointed by this Synod to confer with a Committee of
the General Assembly, are hereby directed to attend the meeting of the Assembly in

New Orleans id May next, and present the preamble and first two resolutions adopted
by this Synod as their authority for requesting a conference with a Committee ap
pointed by the General Assembly, to the General Assembly which will then be in
session in that city. And if no member of the Committee should be able^o attend
the meeting of the Assembly in New Orleans, they are directed to send a copy of the
preamble and first two resolutions to the Moderator of the Assembly, and reonest
that body, if they should think proper to appoint a Committee for the purpose above
specified, to designate a time immediately after the adjournment of the Assembly for
a conference of the Committees. The Committee of this Synod are requested, in the
event of a conference being had with a Committee of the Old School Assembly, to
publish, as soon &s practicable, the result of their consultations.
The following additional article was submitted and adopted :
Eighth. That in the event no union is agreed to, the Committee be directed to
propose to the General Assembly the establishment of a mutual correspondence in the
future between us as ecclesiastical bodies.
A report was made by the Committee on the Polity of the
Church. This paper was received and adopted, and is as follows:
Whereagf This body nas been organized as recommended by the Biohmood Conven-
tion, and styled '* The United S^nod of the Presbyterian Church in the United Stales
of America ;" and Whereas, It is intended to represent in one body all the particukr
churches of the denomination ; therefore—
Resolved, That an overture be sent down to the Presbyteries recommending the
following changes in Chapter xii. of Form of Government, viz :
1. Shall the 12th chapter of the Form of Government be altered by snbetituting the
words *' United Synod," in the heading of the chapter, for the words '* General As-
sembly r
2. Shall the title of the Church be chanced, b^ inserting in the first section the
words ** United Synod of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America?"
3. Shall section second be changed, bv substituting "six" for " twenty-four/' and
** more than six** for ** more than twenty-four," and *^for every six" in place of '< for
every twenty-four f " and shall the words *' United Synod" be substituted for the words
'* General Assembly/' and the term << Synod'' be substituted for the term "* Assembly,"
wherever these occur in the book ?
4. Shall section third be altered, by substituting the number " ten" instead of
"fourteen?"
Resolved, 1. Hat the Stated Clerk be directed to send the above overture to eaeh of
the Presbyteries connected with our several Synods, requesting them to consider the
changes proposed to be made in our Constitution, and to report to him in writing,
thdr approval or disapproval of the proposed changes.
2. Should a majority of Presbvteries signir^ their approval of such changes in
writing, then the Stated Clerk shall immediatelj^ inform all the Presbyteries of the fiict.
3. The Presbyteries may then elect Commissioners to the '' United Synod,*' on the
new ratio of representatioo.
A number of persons, together with the existing Board of the
Presbyteries of Hanover and Piedmont, were elected a Board of
Domestic and Foreign Missions.
The Committee on Nomination reported the names of the follow-
ing gentlemen as Trustees of this Synod :
Hon. A. D. Keyes, Athens, Tenn. ; P. Dickinson, Enozville, Tenn. ; Gen. Wra.
Wallace, Maryville, Tenn. ; Wm. M. Stakely, MadiBonville, Tenn.; John A. McKio-
ney, Bogersville, Tenn.
The business of the United Synod having been finished, and the
vote having been taken for the dissolving of the Synod, the Modera-
tor, with prayer and the Apostolic benediction, declared the Synod
dissolved — ^and required another United Synod, chosen in the same
manner, to meet in the Second Presbyterian Church, in Lynchburg,
Ya., on the third Thursday of May, 1859, at a quarter before 8

Jistiriirsl S^hU\ at t\t S^ttn)i l^tti\iUtm (L\utc\,
in |tii0)rlrill(, tftnn*
This.ohuroh was organized by Union Presbytery, October 24th,
1819. The number of original members is not known. One of
the few survivors, Mrs. Catharine Parsons, a resident of LoaisianSi
is now on a visit to Knoxville, and from her the writer has ob-
tained information with regard to the origin and early history of
the enterprise. She took a lively interest in it, and was actively
concernea in the formation of the Society. She went herself to
Mary ville, fifteen miles distant, to engage the Rev. Isaac Anderson,
D. D., to preach to those associated in the movement, and have them
organized into a church. His first sermon was delivered in the
Court House from the words, '*For what intent have ye sent for me?*'
They worshipped for some time in the Court House, until they
succeeded in putting up the building which is still used by the con-
gregation. The exact date when it was erected has not been ascer-
toined, probably 1820 or 1821.
Dr. Anderson was the first preacher, and continued his labours
about ten years. He resided at Mary ville, where he was pastor of a
very large church, and also the Head of a Literary and Theological
Institution. He came over and preached in Knoxville, once in
every two weeks.
SucoBBDiNa Ministers. — The Bev. Jefierson E. Montgomery
commenced preaching in 1881, and discontinued in 1888.
In October, 1840, Rev. William Mack commenced his regular la-
bours as a minister, and discontinued in December, 1848.
The Bev. John W. Cunningham had charge of the church one
year, from February 15th, 1845, to February 15th, 1846.
The Bev. Joseph H. Myers commenced his regular labours in
May, 1846, was installed pastor in October 80th, 1847, and discon-
tinued in April Ist, 1851.
The Bev. Joseph H. Martin commenced his labours in July 1st,
1851, and is the minister at the present time.
Eldbbs. — The first elders were Archibald Bhea, John McCamp-
bell, Thomas Craighead, Joseph Brown, and John Taylor.
Other elders have been ordained in the following order: John

of great power took place in 1828, in connection with a meeting of
the Synod of Tennessee. The Bev. James Gall aher preached and
laboured on the occasion. Thirty persons united with the church
on profession, three of whom afterwards became elders, and one a
minister of the gospel, to wit, Bev. Thomas W* Humes, at present
Sector of St. John's (Episcopal) Church, Knoxville.
October 24th, 1829. The church received Bobert McLain, now
the Bev. Robert Mcl^ain, of Enterprise, Miss., who assisted in the
organization: of the United Synod and was the Temporary Clerk.
1882 and 1883 were years of prosperity, forty-nine new members
having been received on exapiination in the former, and thirty-
three iti the latter.
A revival occurred in the winter of 1841-2. Among the subjects
of the work were several students of East Tennessee University.
Four of these entered the ministry, viz: Edwin T. Brantley, Fred-
erick A. Thompson, William W. Wright, and Joseph H. Martin.
Another had the same object in view, but died before his theologi-
cal course waa completed.
Another revival took place a year later, in the winter of 1842-3*
Befreshiug seasons were also enjoyed in 1848 and 1852. The last
revival, which was one of considerable extent and power, occurred
in May, 1867. . The church received an accession of thirty-seven
members on profession.
Whole number of members from the beginning, 661. Added
on examination, 848; on: certificate, 213. Adults baptized, 102.
Infants baptized, 291. Number of communicants at the present
time, 182.
A few words concerning the building, of which a view is given.
A gentleman from abroad, who attended the meeting of the United
Synod, has written of it as follows : " The church in which the
United Synod recently met, is a venerable edifice. For nearly half a
oentury it hasresoulided with the words of truth as they have fal-
len from the lips of those who have successively occupied the pul-
pit. The building bearsthe marks of time, in its internal arrange-
ments, in the aspect of its ceiling, pews, floor, and wklls. Though
not a handsome church, it is a comfortable one."
Taking us back to the time when East Tennessee was almost a
wilderness, with residents few and distant from each other, it is a
good specimen of the architecture of the dav ; we hope this land-
mark as it were in the religious history of the State may long be
preserved, and if the demands of the present age will prompt the
erection of a more stately edifice, this Housb of God where our
Fathers worshipped will remain; sacred from the hands of the
spoiler, as a monument of what God has done for us in times
past.

V xmt ASSOCIATI FBXSBTTBBIAN SYNOD. 15$
THE ASSOCIATE PRESBYTEEIAN SYNOD
OF
NORTH AMERICA.
The Fifty seventh Annual meeting of the Associate Synod, was
held in the First Associate Presbyterian Church, Pittsburg, Pa., on
May 19th, 1858 ; and was openea with a discourse by the retiring
Moderator.
1 Sam. iv. 13. Lo, Eli sat on a seat by the way side, watching : for hia heart
trembled for the ark of Qod.
The sermon was introduced by a reference to the removal of the
ark from its resting place in Shiloh. Its exposure to the perils of
the battle field. Its falling into the hands of the Philistines, and
the solicitude of Eli for its safety, evinced by the fact that when
the messenger arrived with the tidings Eli sat on a seat by the way
side, watching ; while his heart trembled for the ark of God.
The following order« was observed in the discussion :
I. An inquiry what it was in the ark of God, which called forth
this solicitude on the part of Eli,
II. A specification of some things in the church of God now,
symbolized by the ark, which call for the same solicitude on the
part of God's people.
III. A suggestion of some ways in which this solicitude should
be manifested.
Under the first topic, the unity of the church of God was dis-
cussed, and the difterence of dispensation illustrated. The great
object under all dispensations was to exhibit Christ and the cove-
nant of grace, and the difference consisted mainly in the peculiar
manner in which these were exhibited. The ceremonial law was
a description of the manner in which Christ and the covenant of
grace were exhibited to the people, and the Book of Leviticus was
the Gospel to the Jews. Christ was also exhibited by types. They
proclaimed the same things by signs which the Prophecies did by
words. The types of the Bible formed a comple system ; Christ
and all new covenant provisions for life and salvation were repre-
sented by them, and in this system of types the ark of the covenant
was the great centre. It was the soul in the body of types — the
centre-piece in the great arch of symbols. Hence, it was called the
glory of God. When the psalmist, in the 78th Psalm, refers to its
being taken by the Philistines, he says he gave his glory into the
hand of the enemy, and the wife of Phinehas exclaimed, The glory
20

has departed from Israel, for the ark of God is taken ; and in the
24th Psalm which was sung when the ark was taken to Jerusalem,
it seems to have been honoured with the name of the great Ante*
type, when admission was demanded of the porters for the ark,
which was called the king of glory. They inquire. Who is this
king of glory ? and receive this emphatic reply, The Lord of hosts,
he is the king of glory.
But the more immediate cause of solicitude was the fact that it
was the medium of communication between God and his people,
hence the taking of the ark was like breaking their intercourse
with their covenant God. Ex. xxv. 22. (Here a description of the
ark was given.) The ark contained the law of God. If it had
been left without a covering, the law as a broken covenant would
have been exposed to view. The curse would have been visible.
But the mercy-seat was placed over it ; God could sit on this cover-
ing and commune with sinners. The broken covenant was hid.
This represented the atonement of Christ. The cherubim which
were a part of, or extension of the mercy-seat, represented Christ
in his intercessory character. Their eyes were turned towards each
other, so that they would meet on God, seated between them, and
downward toward the mercy seat, indicating that they only plead
for mercy through the merits of the Saviour. These cherubim
are sometimes supposed to refer to created angels, but there is as
much importance attached to them as to the mercy-seat, and as
much stress laid upon the fact that God sits between the cherubim,
as that he sits on the mercy-seat. If he were not between the cheru-
bim, he could not commune with sinners. But God does not com-
mune with sinners, because he is between guardian angels, or be-
cause he is between anxious angels, but because their Advocate
pleads that mercy be extended to them through the atonement.
These considerations were sufficient to produce solicitude on the
part of Eli, and cause his heart to tremble when the ark was ex-
posed to danger.
The second topic proposed was to specify some things in the
church of God which were symbolized by the ark, and call for so-
licitude still.
The discussion of this division of the discourse was introduced
by a reference to the fact, that while the church organization was
the same in all ages, yet her solicitude under the Old Testament was
often directed more immediately to the type, but under the gospel
dispensation to the Antetype. Eli was solicitous for the honour and
safety of the ark, for by means of this he held communion with
God. Those who possess the spirit of Eli are solicitous for the
honour of Jesus Christ, for through him we all have access to God.
After some discussion of this point, there was a specification of some
ways in which Christ should be kept prominent in the church.
1. The church should be solicitous that Christ be kept prominent
in her doctrinal creed ; every branch of the church has ner creed,
either verbal or written, for there can be no distinct organization
without it. The great object of such creed should be to exhibit

THX AS80CIATB FRKSBTTBBIAK SYNOD. 155
Jesos Christ as the Author and Finisher of oar jhith, and to give
prominence to gospel doctrine, which is so iutimatelj associated
with the divine glory. , Every gospel doctrine is a beam of light
from Ood, enabling us to see more clearly the glory of his charac-
ter and the foundation of our hope and salvation. The doctrines
of grace should be fully exhibited, as the^ present Christ as " the
first, the middle, and the last'' of our salvation.
2. She should be solicitous that Christ be kept prominent in
verbal instruction.
Through the preaching of the terrors of the law, the sinner is
often made to feel the danger of his situation ; and he should feel his
danger. Paul made Felix tremble when he reasoned of temperance,
righteousness, and judgment to come. But if no other influence be
exerted, the ark is not there. There is no glory discovered. The
gospel must be exhibited as the power of Ood to salvation, to every
one that believeth. There is this difierence between the preaching
of the law and of the gospel. The one presents the ark without
the mercy-seat, the law is exposed, the curse visible, the sin-
ner's doom is written in it The preaching of the gospel places the
mercy-seat over the law, sets up the cherubim, and proclaims the
blessedness of the man whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin
is covered,
3. That Christ be prominent in the ordinances under this topic,
the design of the ordinances was discussed, their references to
Christ illustrated, and the profane and unmeaning character of all
ceremonies in which Christ is not recognized as the only way of
access to Ood was exposed.
III. How is this solicitude to be manifested ?
1. By vigilance. Eli sat on a seat by the way side watching.
His eyes were turned toward the ark. This was a dictate of nature,
when persons are solicitous for the safety of any object sacred or
pro&ne, their eyes will often turn in that direction. There were
many things connected with the warfare between Israel and the
Philistines, which might have produced anxiety on the mind of
Eli; but all minor matters seem to have been overlooked, while his
attention was directed toward the ark of Ood. This was the all
absorbing thought.
Is the ark safe? Christians should manifest the same vigilance
now, directing their whole attention toward those things which re-
late to the honour of Christ and the glory of his kingdom.
Their instrumentalities are employed for promoting a revival of
religion, of awakening those who are sleeping in a state of carnal
security in the church, or of arousing those who are regardless of
their souls' salvation, to inquire what thev shall do to be saved.
The church should anxiously inquire, Is Christ kept prominent in
these efforts ? Is the great principle recognized ? " Not by might,
nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord."
This vigilance should be an anxious one. Eli's heart trembled.
The christian does not watch simply because from his profession
it becomes his duty, but because his soul prompts him to perform

FBSSBYTERIAir HISTORICAL ALKAITAO.
that duty. There are often many trembling hearts in the chnrcli
of God, and many a pang has been occasioned by the efforts to as-
sign Christ a secondary place in his own kingdom.
This solicitade will be associated with activity. Efforts to ban-
ish Christ from his church will be resisted. Christ is always wil-
ling to occapy his own position in his church. It is his kingdom,
and he delights more in the gates of Zion than in all the dwellings
of Jacob; hence if there be consistency on the part of the church
herself, there will be no difficulty in retaining the ark. When our
Saviour was in the tomb, the Jews attemptea to keep him there;
but he was not willing to remain in the grave. It was not his ap-
propriate place afler the object of his burial was accomplished, and
under sucn circumstances, Government Seals and Roman Guards
were of no avail. But Christ delights in his church. He says of
her, "This is my rest, here will I stay, for I have desired it." Christ
is then willing to occupy his place as king on his holy hill in Zion.
We should watch anxiously that the crown be kept on his head.
That it may be said with confidence and consolation: The glory
is still preserved for Christ, is enthroned in his kingdom.

The Committee on Bills and Overtures, Rev. P. Bullions, D. D.,
Chairman, reported
Ist. They have had under consideration so much of the report of the Presbytery
of Cambridge, as relates to advising probatiooers to preface on the Psalms, respect-
fully report that while they regard the practice referred to as good and profitable,
and would encourage its continuance, yet as there is no rule on the subject in the
church, and the practice is not uniform, even in settled congregations, it seems to
your committee inexpedient to recommend to Synod any action on this subject, fur-
ther than to express their judgment, that probationers as well as others, while at
liberty to n^e their discretion in this matter, should pay all proper respect to the wishes
of the people to whom they minister. Also
2d. So much of the reports of the Presbyteries of Philadelphia and S. Indiana, as
relates to amended Psalmody, report that they regard the matter as one of great im-
portance, and its speedy and right settlement as a matter of duty and pressing neces*
sity. As this matter concerns not this church alone, but all the churches which
adhere to a Scripture Psalmody, and it is important to secure uniformity in the
Psalmody u.'sed by them all, it seems highly proper that all should unite in preparing
an amended Psalmody acceptable to all. In order to the attainment of this end,
your committee, therefore,
Readvedf that a special committee on Psalmody be appointed to correspond with
all the churches interested in this matter, and, with them, endeavour to take such
measures as may seem proper to effect so desirable an object, and report at next meet-
ing of Synod.
Rev. Thos. Beveridge, D. D., Rev, Jas. P. Smart, and Rev. Jas.
Patterson, D. D., were appointed the Committee. Also

orphan children b( heathen parents, received into the families of the missionarieSi
Digitized by

16S PBBSBYTKKIAN HISTORICAL ALMANAC.
Tbey regard it aa a question of mnch iroportai^ce, and to which a well considered, and
not a hasty or rash reply should be given ; that its settlement depends on the right
settlement of another question equally important, and still undecided by Synod, viz :
whether it is right to baptize adopted children, where neither of the parents were
members of the visible cnurch ; and as this is a question likely to lead to much dis-
cussion, and one in which the body with which we are negotiating for union has an
equal interest with ourselves, we are of opinion it would be better to defer this ques-
tion, till that of union is decided, so that if union takes place it may receive the
full oonsideratioQ of the United Church, and for this purpose submit the following
resolution : —
Ruolved, that a decision respecting the baptizing of heathen orphan children re-
ceived into the families of our forei^ missionaries be deferred for the present, and
the matter be commended to the serious and prayerful consideration of the members
of Synod, with a view to its future settlement, and that in the mean time the mis-
nonaries be authorized to exercise their discretion on the subject.
The Committee on Appeals, Bev. James Wallacs, Chairman, re-
ported.
As the charge against Mr. M^Bride, found proven by the Presbyterr of Philadel-
phia, was one of a very weighty and serious nature, justice bolh to the Presbytery
and to the appellant requires that the case should be carefully considered. The tes-
timony is somewhat voluminous ; and as we apprehend the members of Synod could
not find time to make a full investigation, we oflfer the following resolution as, in oar
view, the best for th^ disposition of the case.
Resolvedf That a commission of five persons be appointed to meet to investigate
and decide on the appeal of Mr. Bobert M* Bride.
The following persons were appointed the commission, viz:
Messrs. J. S. Easton, S. F. Morrow, T. Brown, F. A. Hutchinson,
and B. B. George.
The Committee on Missions, Bey. James B. Doio, Chairman,
reported
That, having examined the papers relating to the missionary operations referred
to them, they find most things of a character calcukited to cheer and encourage the
hearts of those who love the cause of Christ
A dark cloud gathered in the sky, and a storm burst upon, and swept over India,
that might well cause the stoutest heart to quail. But now that this tempest has
passed by that portion of India occupied by our missionaries, we have reason to re-
joice and give God thanks, that whilst other missionaries have fallen sacrifices to
heathen rage, their lives have all been spared, and the field of Uieir labours but little
harmed, comparatively, inviting anew their arduous labours with, perhaps, increased
prospect of success.
The hearts of your missionaries at Sialkot have been already cheered by four con-
Terts from heathenism, as the fruits of their labour under the blessing of God. We
would confidently hope that these are the first — the early fruits of a future and aband>
aot harvest.
Five, in all^ were added to their little congregation, before consisting of eleven ; one,
however, having been called away by death. About seventy scholars are under their
instruction and influence, and seven orphan children have been received into the (kmi-
lies of missionaries, and are supported mainly by the liberality of Sabbath-schools and
congregations in connection with this Synod.
1. Ketolvcdf that we return our sincere thanks to the great Head of the church for

his marked preeeryation of our miadonarieB in India, and that we will make iocreaaed
effi>rtB to Bostain this miasion.
2. Ruohed, that we will continue our support of Mr. Brown at Savanna Graode,
Trinidad, and will make prompt efforts to sustain him.
3. Resolved, that we direct Mr. Herron, our missionary in California, to explore so
much of that state as he can during the summer, and unless he finds a more encourag-
ing field, he be invited to return as soon as practicable.
4. Resolvedt that Synod return her thanks to Mr. Isaac Geery, for the kind assist-
anoe rendered our board in transmitting money to our missionaries.
The Committee on the Theological Seminary, Eev. Wm. Wishabt,
Chairman, reported :
The Board of Managers of the Theological Seminary rejpoTt. — ^That during the
past session there were in attendance the following students, viz : of the year closing
at the middle of the session : — Messrs. B. Wallace, J. I. Frazier. Of the year closing
at the.end. of the session }— Messrs. A. R. Anderson, J. Robb, J. Stevenson, W. ll
Wilson. Of the class whose course would terminate at the middle of next session :—
Messrs. J. M. Adair, W. W. Barr, D. Forsythe, T. P. Kennedy. Of the second
year, according to the present course : — Messrs. W. H. Jefiers, W. McEce, H. Tedford,
J. N. White, Armstrong. Of the first year :— Messrs. W. M. Bell, W. Campbell,
D. H. French, T. Hanna, T. McCartney. The Board held two meetings, one in the
month of December, and the other on the 21st day of April, «being the close of the
session. At these meetings the students delivered discourses, with which the Board
were highly gratified, aa giving good evidence of diligence, both on the part. of the
professors and students.
We would again call the attention of Synod to the condition of our library. We
acknowledge a donation from Mr. Bentoul, of Pittsburgh, Pa., of ten dollars in
books.
The Board recommended for license, Messrs. Anderson, Bobb, Stevenson, Wilson,
Adair, Barr, Forsythe, Kennedy.
J. P. Skabt, Sec of Board.
On motion — Resolved, That the young men recommended for
license be referred to their respective Presbyteries to be taken on
trials for license.
On motion — Resolved^ That a Committee be appointed to address
the churches on the subject of the debt against the Theological
Seminary. The Board of Trustees were appointed that Committee.
llie Presbytery of Chartiers requested that Mr. Wm. Ballentine, who has been
studying under their care during the past year, be enrolled as a student of the third
year ; lUso, the Presbytery of Shenango request that Messrs. Bain, Gailey, Graham,
and Taylor, who have been admitted to the study of theology, and in consideration of
their circumstances, permitted to pursue their studies under the care of Presbytery,
have credit for one year*s study, and that Mr. Crow, who has been studying under
their care during the same period of time, in consideration of his circumstances and
praiseworthy attainments, nave credit for two years. . After some reflection, your
committee have concluded to recommend to Synod that these requests be granted ; at
the same time, we cannot but express our sincere regret that so many of our young
men should be pursuing their studies under the care of Presbytery, and would urge
that our Presbyteries should exert all lawful influence to have those engaged in the
study of theology attend the Theological Seminary, where the opportunities of acquir-
ing tbbological knowledge and qualifications for the work of the roioistry are so
much superior.
From the report of the board of managers of the Theological Seminary, it would
seem that the number of our theological students is on the decrease. Only twenty
wtre in attendance at the Theological Seminary during the past year, eight of whom

are to be licensed to preach the GoBpdi this sammer. We would call the attentioD of
the cbarch to this fiftct, aod urgentlj^ recommend all to renew their exertions io seek-
ing out, aod urging young men of gifts and piety to derote themaelres to the work of
the ministry.
The Committee on Preabyterial Reports, Bey. Moses Arnot,
Chairman, reported as follows :
Your committee take pleasure in stating that the reports of Presbyteries indicate
a remarkably encouraging state of religion throughout the church. I'his appears
from the increased attendance upon Divine ordinances, and the inoreiNung interest
felt in them.
Social prayer-meetings are well attended, and many additional ones haveheen or-
ganized during the past year. Increased attention is given to the lambs of the flock.
Many additional Sabbath-schools have been organized, for the spiritual benefit of
the children of the church, and especially for those poor children, for whose souls
their parents do not care. It is encouraging to find among all our people an earnest
desire for the union of the Reformed Churches, and such a union as is based upon,
and is a manifestation of the oneness of the Spirit
There is a prevalent disposition to look upon the pflst with regret, and to seek a
reformation which will manifest itself in greater spirituality, and more extensive prac-
tical godliness. It appears from the reports that the blessing of God has in a re-
markable manner attended the means of grace, public and private.
Our ministers and people have experienced a little reviving in our bondage. The
blessed results of that ever memorable convention of brethren at Xenia last March,
are every where spoken of with gratitude and humility. In most parts of the church
our accessions have been larger uian in former years.
In what God has done for us the past year, we see more clearly tlian ever the con-
nection between a revived church and the success of missions, or that a successful
church must be a revived church. In view of all these blessings, it becomes us to
say with gratitude and humility, "The Lord hath done g^reat things for us, whereof
we are glad." "Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whei-eby thou didst confirm
thine inheritance when it was weary."
But while there is very much in these report that makes us thank God and take
eoarage, vet they do also complain that there is too much of that spirit which leads
us to seek, every man his own, and not the things which are Jesus Christ's. With
all our comparative liberality, there is yet a want of liberality, a want of cheerful
self-denial for Christ There is a spirit of worldly-mindedness, which hinders the
growth of the grace of the Spirit, and deprives us of his consolation. There is a
disposition to think that what we do for Christ is much, while it is so little. There
is a want of that compassion for souls which breaks over the barriers of false modesty,
and like the woman ot Samaria, commends Christ to others, and there is reason to
believe that the little heart we have to speak of Christ to others, arises from our own
defective apprehensions of his excellency.
In view of all these things, your committee would recommend the appointment by
Synod of the first Sabbath of July as a day of special prayer to God for the outpour-
ing of his Spirit ;
And the appointment of the third Wednesday of October as a day of humiliation
and prayer.

The CSominittee on Foreign Misaions made the following report,
whioh waa adopted :
Id sabmitting this, oar anonal report, we may adopt the laognage of the Ptalmist : —
" I will sing of mercy and of judgment. Unto thee, O Lord, will I Biog."
There are nnder the care of ypar Board five ordaiiied miaionaries, one female teacher,
and two native lioentiates. These are labonring in three different stations, viz : India,
Trinidad, and California.
In India there are nnder the care of the Board, three ordained missionaries, one fe-
male teacher, and two native licentiates. The trials which our missionaries in this
field of laboar have been called to endnre are doubtless familiar to yon all — trials
which we are nol without reasons for believing, *'have fallen out rather to the further-
ance of the gospel." The political disturbances, which for a time interrupted their
labours at Sialkot, have, in a great measure, subsided, so that at our latest accounts
they were allactively engaged in prosecuting the work for which they had been sent
to that distant field. Nor has their labour been in vain — ^already are their hearts
encouraged by evidences that their efforts have been blessed for the conversion of
souls. Four are reported to have been brought out of the darkness of heathenism to
the enjoyment of the light of the goepd. Thuff-titegood seed of the word sown by
our missionaries has even now begun to bring forth promised frait-
It IB gratifying to the Board to be able to state that the loss in a pecuniary respect
to our mission, in consequence of the fearful insurrection that has taken place during
the past year iben, has not been eztensive. Funds deposited in the Delhi bank, to
the amount of about 9500, which our missionaries had despaired of recovering— the
managers of the bank have generously amed to make good to them, together with
the accruing interest On the whole, so mr as has been ascertained, the loss of mis-
sion property does not amount in value to more than $370. while local contributions
have diminished oven this considerably. In view of these nets, we have much reason
for thankfulness.
The a&irs of our California mianon are at the present time io a very unsettled
condition.
Synod are no doubt aware of some of the difficulties with which brother Herron
has always had to contend in his efforts to build up our cause in that place. From
the very commencement of his labours at Napa, he has met with opposition in his
endeavours to carry out some of theprinciples and usages of the Associate Church.
One of these, which has been most oflenave to many of those among whom this brother
has been labouring, is our mode of conducting the praise of Qod. The brother there
has, in all his communications with the Board touching this matter, ezpreflsed a strong
doubt of ever being able to bring the people among whom he has been labouring to
use in worship our present version of the Psalms, or conform to our mode of singing
them.
On account of the introductun of instrumental music in the worship of God, the
relation that hitherto existed between Mr. Herron and the congregation of Napa has
been dissolved. From all that the Board could learn on the subject* they are of the
opinion that the action on the part of the congregation was unpresbytonal and dis-
orderly. Although the chairman of the Board has addressed a letter to those by
whose action the relation has been dissolved, there is no prospect of the breach that
has taken place ever being healed ; as we learn that the congregation has, since the
dismissal of Mr. Herron, obtained the services of another pastor.
Our missionary there is at present labouring in the vicinity of Napa wherever God,
in his providence, opens a door of usefulness. Under these circumstances the Boitfd
would ask Synod to indicate the course to be adopted in reference to the missioo.

The Committee to which was referred the memprial on Intemper-
ance presented a report, which was adopted, as follows :
In view of the great iqerease of "the evil >of iotemperanoe, the refusal of the civil
power to do any thing to reelriet this evil, the danger ^to^wbi^ the yoath of the church
are ezpoeed. and the strong temptation held out to all to indulge in thw vice, it be-
comes the caonsh to do all that can be done to prsserve her own parity, and to extend
her protecting care over the rismg generation. And as tiie Scnptures fire to be our
only guide in removing all evils, in looking to its-teacbings, wefind thai two general prin-
ciples are presented as applicable to this matter. T%e first is under the form of a pre-
cept, where those in dang!ar of beiqg overcome are directed not to <* look upon the
wine when it is red, when it mpveth itself ariffht^" and the other principle giveth in
the resolution of tiie apostle when he declared his willin^^ness not to eat meat while
the world stood, if it would make bis brother to offend ; m which it appears that it is
our duty to practise self-denial, even in that which might be necessary and innocent
in its use, for the sake of the safety and well beingof others. Under the application
of these two principles, we think that professing Christians are called on to abstain
entirely from the use of intozicatiiu^ li(^uor as a bevemga And aa season, ezperienoe*
scienoe, and revelation, all show tlAt its use is injurious to the system, and danger-
ous to the soul, we ace therefore called on to ^wooaoteiwiMe its oonmion use^
Therefore,
Resolved, 1. That our ministers be directed in an ecpecial manner to call the atten-
tion of their peo^e to the dangerous consequences to themselves, -and the evil influence
of their example upon others, arising from the ordinary use of intoxicating liquors.
Reeolvedy 2. That sessions be directed to admonish those who indulge in their com-
mon use, and should they persevere in it to the djagnee of their profession, to suspend
them from the communion of the church.
Resolved, 3. That in the judgment of this Synod, the manufacturing or vending
of intoxicating liquors for the purpose of being uped as a common beverage, is a cen-
surable oflfenoe.
On motion, the thanks of Synod are hereby tendered to Thomas
M'Connell, Esq., and John Penney, Esq., for their gratuitous servi-
ces in giving to a Committee of Synod legal cowisel and ^vice.
Resolved^ That we tender our thanks to the lu^ethren ip Pittsburgh
and Allegheny cities, for their Ohristian hospitality in tentertaining
the members of.Synod in their fiE^milies during its session. Also,
to the various Bail Boad Companies, who hav« generpusly agreed
to carry the members of Synod over their respective roads at half fare.
After prayer, singing a part of the 20th Psalm, and the Moderator
pronouncing the apostolic benediction, Synod adjourned to meet on
the third Wednesday of May, 1869, in Xenia, Ohio, at 2 o'clock, P. M.
Thomas Hanka, SynocPa Clerk.

This oongregation was organized in the year 1800, by Rev. Daniel
McLean. Rev. Francis Pringle came over from the General Asso-
ciate Synod of Ireland, in 1799. He was to supply in New York ;
but fearing that he was not coming, Mr. M*Lean was sent in his
place; and while he was on the way Mr. Pringle arrived. Mr.
M'Lean's services not being needed in New York, he returned, and
organized the congregation of Pittsburgh soon afterwards. Thus
then it is the oldest church in the city, with one or two exceptions,
and has an extensive ofbpring.
The first pastor of this congregation was Rev. Ebenezer Hen-
derson. The first student licensed by the Associate Presbytery
of Pennsylvania, was Mr. William Wilson, in 1795; the next, Mr.
James Duncan, probably in 1796 ; next to them a class, consisting
of Messrs. Thomas M'Clintock, and Daniel M'Lean, probably in
1797, and next to them a class consisting of Messrs. Thomas Alison,
Thomas Hamilton, and Ebenezer Henderson, probably in 1798.
Thus by the process of providence, the man is in the field; but
where is to be his garden in that field? The same infallible Head
of the Church, that qualified him for work and war&re, pointed
him to a place to exercise his powers. Of course he could not
have been settled here before 1800 ; various considerations show
that it could not have been as late as 1806 ; and many circumstan-
ces combine in saying that it was about 1804 He remained here
only about two years, and then resigned his charge, and took the
pastorate of the church in the City of Philadelphia. During his
ministry the congregation worshipped in a small log-house, and
was very weak.
The second pastor was Rev. Robert Bruce. Mr. Bruce was a
native of Scotland. He was born Feb. 20th, 1776, in the Parish
of Scone, Perthshire. After much preparatory training, and a
thorough course, he graduated at the TJniversity of Edinburgh. In
1806 he was licensed by the Associate Presbytery of Perth ; and in
the same year was sent a Missionary to the United States of America.
In August, 1808, he was ordained by the Associate Presbytery of
Chartiers, and installed pastor of the united charge of Pittsburgh
and Peterscreek, to each place he devoted half his time.
During this arrangement the Pittsburgh branch worshipped in a
small German Church located on the corner of Sixth and Smithfield
Streets, where the lar^e German Church now stands. This consti-
tution of things lasted about four years; then Mr. Bruce resigned
the Peterscreek Branch and confined himself to the pastorate of the
Pittsburgh congregation ; and then they erected a small church on
the site of the present building. In 1821 this church was enlarged
some twenty feet in front, and was occupied by the congregation
during the whole remaining term of his ministry. In 1822 he was
elected Principal of the Western University of Pennsylvania, loca-

with great adceptanoe and Aoble restdts^ la 1823 the title of D. D.
waa oonferred on him by Jefferson College* In 1848 he left the
ITnirersity, and established Duqaesde Coll^e^ of which he was
Piresident^ and over whieh h» pveaided till bis death, a period of
about fouY yeara^ The esteem in which, he has held here was mani*
feat to allv bill by nothing waa it better exhibited than by the deep
Mpveission of feeliii^g given by hid students when they received the
tidings^ of bis death. He wasr also Preaident of the Learned Philo-
sophical Society of Western Peiniiiylvan.ia» Dr« Bruo^ was highly
esteeftied in bis congregation, the city, Ghurch, countyr He was a
oivil, literary, and spiritual benefaoter« He lived to see the sixty*
ninth year of his age, and forty-first of bis ministry. He preached
in Pittsburgh till the day of bis deaths a period of about thirty-eight
years. On the 14th of June, 1846^ after mneh intense suffering, he
died. It was on Sabbath evening— -^atwiTTMrntM Sabbath evening,,
that he took his seat at the Marriage Sapper of the Lamb abovet

The third pastor was Bev. Abs^hak Ain>EB80K^born near Can^
ttoniburgh, Pa^. He wat early indoctrinated in the princifdes of out
holy religion^and madoa pubuc profeesfoaof bis faith when seventeen
years of agew Early in life be had an ardent thirst for the work of
the holy ministrv, which in process of time he was permitted to
gratify* He graduated at Jefferson College in the Autumn of 1842,
and finished his course of Theological training at Cannonsburgh^
in the spring oi 1846. This was the soring in which Dr. Bruce
died. Thus God did not take away ono shepherd till he had another
feady for the flook. In the spring of 1847, he accepted the call to
the Associate Congregation of Pittsburgh, and he was ordained, and
installed over his charge in the Fall oS the same year. His sojourn
here waa very interesting and useful; but it was very brief— only
about two years. During his brief ministry, the congregation wor«
shipped in the same church buildings where they hi^ so long en-
joyed the ministrationa of Dr. Bruce. During the session of the
Associate Synod^ which met in Allegheny City, May 24th, 1849,
he was takso with typhoid fever. The disease gradually got a
firmer hold upon bim ; and at 6 o*clock| A. M., July 27th, 1849.
after a severe refining process in the furnace, he yielded up hie soul
to the angelic postillion who were waiting to bear it home to God.
He died in tbe thirty-first year of his age and third of his ministry.
His beloved companion died but a few weeks afterwards. Though
the congregation had greatly decreased while vacant, yet it in*
creased rapidly, during the ministry of Mr. Anderson, and at his
death numbered 100 families, and 275 communicants.
The fourth pastor was ilev. Hans W. Lbb. Mr. Lee was born
near Cadiz, Ohio, Oct. 29th, 1825. He entered Franklin College in
1840, and graduated there in 1844. After the usual course of

The Sabbath-Sohool. — ^It was organized about eighteen years
ago. It was started much longer ago than that in connection with
Dr. Black's Sabbath-school. But at length that connection was dis-
solved, and the school was broken up. It was commenced by Mr.
William Dickey, now general agent for Westminster College, and Mr.
John Boyd, long a member of session but now deceased. It was es-
tablished in a small brick school-house in the 5th Ward of the city ;
and at length transferred to the church. The first superintendent
was Mr. John Boyd. He filled the office with great acceptance and
noble results for eleven or twelve vears. The second superintendent
was Mr. William Chambers. He held the office for one or two years^
The third superintendent was Mr. George Bodgers. He laboured in
the office for three years. The present superintendent is Mr. James
Montgomery. His assistant is Mr. George Beed. Through the un-
tiring efforts of all these men, the school has greatly increas^ and
prospered. It now consists of seven officers, twenty-five teachers,
and :including the Bible-class, about 800 scholars.
The fifth pastor is Bev. S. B. Beed. He was born in Huntingdon
Co., Pa., June 6th, 1881 ; graduated at Franklin College, in 1863,

and accepted the call to Pittsburgh, in the autumn of 1866, — was or-
dained by Allegheny Presbytery, and installed over this charge April

THE GENERAL SYNOD
Of THB
ASSOCIATE REFORMED PRESBY'N CHURCH.
The General Synod of the Associate Beformed Presbyterian
Charch of North America, met in the First Associate Reformed
Church, Allegheny, on Wednesday evening, May 19th, at 7^ o^cIock,
and was opened with a discourse by the retiring Moderator.
!§mtiuxst Irs $t))f. i. $. "j^m, $. $.
Psalm IxxxyIL 3. Qlorioos things are spoken of thee^ dty of God.
Aftbb some remarks npon the figurative language of the text,
showing its application to the churco, and particularly the church
as a visible community, it was proposed to speak of some of its glo-
ries. Among these were placed the details, generally, of the or-
ganization, ordinances, and privileges of the church.
1. That the church had the glory of being a Divine institution ;
that while other institutions may have had noble founders, great
and good men, loved and honoured men, whose names and deeds
were enrolled on lists of earthly fame that would endure while earth
itself endures, it was the distinction of the church to claim as its
founder, the great Qod^ who has laid the foundation of the earth, by
whom all things were created in heaven and on earth — whose
greatness none can comprehend. High and lofty as he is, inhabit-
ing eternity as he does, he not merely condescends to look upon
the humble and contrite ones, but has constituted a community of
them in his church, in which he might dwell on earth, over which
he has spread the banner of his love, and in which he reveals him-
self "glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders."
2. The church has been constituted for glorious purposes, not
merely as the dwelling-place of God, but as the great instrumentality
for the accomplishment of the scheme of salvation revealed in the
Gospel.
In respect to the glory of God, the highest end for which any
bein^, or association of beings, can exist, it has been committed to
the church to make the grandest display.
Other ends subordinate to these were accomplished by the church,
of inestimable importance to man in his earthly relations and in-
terests. The highest ranges of science, the purest and loftiest lit^
eratore, the truest and grandest schemes of benevolence the noblest

forms of social and civil privileges that bave adorned the history
of the world, are but effects of influences emanating from the churoh.
Bat all these and all similar ends, various as they are, important as
they are, ennobling ms they are to man in his earthly existence,
although the highest ends of the best of all other institutions, are
but incidents to the great ends 4)f ibe church's existence, the glory
of God in the salvation of man.
m. The church h^a ,a glorious Head And Ki^e — ^^ '^^^ w^iely
been created by Divine nuthority, tut ex:ists under the government
of a Divine ruler. The constitution of the church was the act of the
Triune God. The government of the -ob^iKsh has been committed
to the eternal Son.
If he hujoibled hinutelf by taking upon bim o^r nature fqr the
redemption of his church, he has in that nature been highly exalted-
It is the privilege of the church, not merely to praise him for bis
redemption, but to rejoice in the honours to Which he has been ex-
alted as her Bedeemer and Head.
To the same event the speaks applied the sublime language of
the 24th Psalm, 7 — 10th, giving it in full. Head of the church he
has been constituted — ^head over all things to the church.
IV. The church has a glorious history. It is a history that
i»h<>w0 a gloriaus antiquity. lib is a history that not merely shows
a continuous existence of the church, but is throughout luatroi«9
with glorious manifestations of divinity. Of these some have been
providential, and aome miraculous. But these, though for good
and necessary ends, w^e in a sense external to the church. Ff^r
more glorious, thongfa :of less observation to men, has been the
working of Divine power within the ohurch, in the minds and the
hearts of her members by the agency of the Spirit.
The church has a glorious future. This might be assumed from
what had already been «hown. But there was also a sure word of
prophecy. In fulfilment of these predictiona, (some of which were
quoted,) the earth would yet be full of the knowledge of the Lord as
the waters cover the sea. The triumph of the church would be
complete. Her Lord would be univenBally acknowledged. All na-
tions would call him blessed. All would submit to his authority,
and rejoioe in his love and obedience.
Mighty changes must take place in the hietory of the world, be-
fore the church shall be thus triumphant. Many and great diffi-
culties are to be overcome, which defy the policy and power of
man. But "the seal of the Lord of hosts will perform this." He
bath said it and he will do it; he hath spoken it, and he will make
it good.
1. The honour and happiness of membership in the church. It
is a distinction which .men prize, to be subjects of an honoured
earthly kingdom ; still more to be admitted to relations of intimacy
with the sovereign of such a kingdom. But how poorly does all
such honour compare with what is enjoyed by all who are subjects
of His kingdom, who is the King of kings and Lord of lords ; and
are freely admitted to relations of &vour and intimate fellowship

2. The dignity and reaponaibility <rf offiee in the churdi. Thia
is inferable from every part of the aubject^ but especially from the
dignity of the church's Head; and the ends for which the church
exists. They who properly hold <offiee in the dnnrch, do ao by
authority of Christ, who in aasential dignity is the equal of the Fa-
ther, and ae Sing of Zion has been formally invested with the aov-
«^gnty of the universe. They avs his miniaters, in whatever
rank of offiee thev may be. They who are called to preach the
gospel are so in the highest and moat responsible rank. They are
authorized to go before their fellow men, and say, in meekness but
in confidence, ^' We are ambassadors of Ofariat, as though God did
beseech you by us ; we pray you, in Christ^ stead, be ye reconciled
to God."
In dischai^ging the duties of this sacred enibaasy, they have to
act for all the great interests for which the ohureh has been consti-
tuted. A hi^er dignity or weightier responsibility was never
{Jlaoed on creatures of God, not even upon angels. And when we
xefleet upon human weakness and infirmities, bow justly may the
question force itself from deeply humbled hearts : '* Who is suffi*
cient for these things:?" Who ia sufficient to represent God in
these things 7^-^to declare his connsel—^ administer his ordinan-
ces — to govern his church, so as best to advance the work in which
lies bis highei^ glory 7 Who is sufficient to minister aright things
in which the highest inteiesta of men are so involved— ^to teach
them the knowledge of the Lord, to direct them in the way of life,
to influence them to believe the word and obey the ordinances by
which alone they can be brought to receive and ei\joy the great
salvation? Who is suffiGimtfar these tkingsf In his own strength
no man is sufficient; and even with all the strength we are author-
ized to expect from on high, with all the encouragement the Master
has been pleased to give us, what heart may not be weighed down
under the sense of such responsibilities^ With what trembling
solicitude does it become us to engage in any part of his service r

bers of a Court of the Church, how lively should be all the feelings
proper to his service I How far awaj should be every unhallowed
thought, every unworthy desire ! How with singleness of purpose
and supremacy of devotion, we should seek the honour of the Lord
in the purity and peace and prosperity of his church 1
8. We may infer the love that is due the church. Her King is
the chief among ten thousand and altogether lovely. Zion herself
stands most beautiful, the joy of the whole earth. In her Scriptu-
ral ideal, that in which she has existed and shall yet exist on earth,
she is the perfection of beauty.
If she do not answer to this ideal now, if her beauty has been
defaced, and many of her walls and palaces have been torn down,
and her power and privileges been impaired, our hearts still cling-
ing in affection should be filled witn sorrow. Like the ancient
people of God, in the severe adversity of the Babylonish captivity,
the sentiment of every heart should be, '* If I forget thee, O Jerusa-
lem, may my right hand forget her cunning; may my tongue cleave
to the roof of my mouth, if I do not set Jerusalem above my chief
joy."
No such adversity may be upon the church now. Since that
time she has been advanced to great enlargement of privileges.
But how poorly are they appreciated! How sadly is she held in
bondage by the world! How dishonoured and disabled she is, as
much from defection within as from the subtlety and power of ene-
mies without! Who that loves her may not weep when he thinks
of Zion? But,
4. Our duty to the church does not consist of emotion merely.
The inference is just as strong of our duty to seek by all proper
means and agencies the highest order of prosperity for 'the church.
And, hot to be tedious here, as her past history proves that the
great element of her prosperity is an energy that is divine, this
above all things we shouldf seek. More of this energy, more of the
presence and power of the Spirit, is just what the church now molt
needs. She has means enough and facilities enough to carry the
fospel to the ends of the earth — far more than the Apostles and
rst propagators of the gospel had, whose ministry was attended
with a success which in these days of inefficiency appears as if
miraculous. Doubtless, something of the effect is to be referred to
their miracles. But any power of working miracles they had, never
converted any one. It enabled them to prove their divine com-
mission, and secure audience of men, but never worked conversion
of souls. It was the truth, as it is in Jesus, preached in faithful-
ness and zeal, and accompanied by the enlightening and renewing
influences of the Spirit, that accomplished this. That truth is still
in the church ; and that Spirit is still in the church, and would be
given as freely now as then, if as earnestly sought for, and as
fiiithfully and zealously preached. Even now we might have a
Pentecostal time, not in circumstances, but in substantial effects.
And happily it is for this the prayers of God's people are now in
unusual earnestness ascending. Let them continue to ascend. "Ye

that make mention of the Lord, keep not silence ; and give him no
rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the
whole earth."
Finally, and in a few words, if we love the church, and desire
and seek her prosperity, we will desire and seek her unity. Visi-
ble, even organic unity, is an element of prosperity and of the per-
fection of the church in which she originally existed, and in which
she shall yet exist. It is a state of the church for which the Saviour
made one of his most impassioned prayers ; and one which all who
have the same mind which was also in Christ Jesus, should most
earnestly seek. They will seek it for the greater efficiency of the
church. They will seek it for the good of all who are to be influ-
enced by the church. They will seek it for the glory of her great
Head. They will seek it in the fulfilment of his prayer for his
disciples of all ages: "That they all may be one, as thou, Father,
art in me and I in thee; that they all may be one in us, that the world
may believe that thou hast sent meJ^
After the sermon, the Synod was constituted with prayer and
singing Psalm ixxii. 16; to the end.

The Committee on the state of religion, Eev. B. Waddle, Chair-
man, reported as follows, which was adopted :
That some Presbyteries make no allasion to the state of religion in their bounds.
This is the more remarkable, in view of the general religioas interest experienced
in onr cities, towns, and rural districts. Other Presbyteries report no special awaken-
ing of sinners and reviving of professing Christians in their congregations. Most of
the Presbyteries, however, are happy in having cause to record the loving-kindness
of our God to his people. Worldtiness, a rage for novelty in the manner of preach-
ing, parental neglect in training children, and other caus^ of complaint, are noticed
in the Presbyterial reports. Still, however low the state of religion has been, and
now is, yet its present tendency is upwards. The social means of grace are more
highly appreciated, and generally more used than formerly. Meetings for prayer,
praise, and conference, are frequent, earnest, and edifying. Sabbath-schools are flour-
ishing — Christian benevolence, though embarrassed by the recent financial crisis, is
active and strong — the spirit of missions is undying. A desire for union among the
followers of the Lamb is becoming stronger and stronger. Attendance on the word
preached and ordinances dispensed, is in general regular and good. Very encourag-
mg accessions have been realized by many of our congregations.
Demands for preaching in vacancies and missionary stations are numerous and
urgent, beyond tne means and abilities of Presbyteries fully to supply. The spirit
of religions revival is being poured out upon our congregations ana families. The
children of Son have much cause to rejoice in their King. Among them is a grow-
ing regard for the purity and peace, unity and prosperity of the church. Let minis-
ters, and elders, and members, individually and in their associated capacity, thank
God and take courage. Many in all the churches are coming up to ti^ help of the
Lord against the mighty.

The Committee on Foreign Missions, Rev. John T. Pbesslt,
Chairman, reported the following, which was adopted :
Another year of our missionary operations has passed away, memorable for the
pressure which has been felt throughout the commercial world ; distinguished us a
season of trial to many of our brethren engaged in the foreign missionary field ; and
not less remarkable for a religious awakening, which has prevailed to a greater ex-
tent than any one which has occurred at any former period in the history of the
church. The friends of Zion have thus had occasion to sing of mercy and of judg-
ment. While we are called to sympathize with our brethren, who have suflfernl
so severely in India, and to mourn over the loss of manv valuable lives, we desire
to be thankful for that kind Providence which has watched over the brethren em-
ployed in the mission more immediately under our supervision. Though they have
experienced trials of various kinds, their lives have been preserved, and they have
been enabled to persevere in the prosecution of their work of faith and labour
of love.
During the past year, our Syrian mission has received an important accession in the
persons of Dr. A. Hattie^ and Rev. John Crawford and lady.

In the month of October laet, we are sorry to have to say, our beloved sister, Miss
Dales, was 8eriously injured by a fall from her horse. By this distressing occurrence,
she was subjected to the necessity of suspending her labours in her school for a time.
But we are happy to learn, that through the favour of a kind Providence, her health
is again restored.
The school for the instruction of boys is still continued, and the prospect of useful-
ness in this department of labour is encouraging. The number of scholars in attend-
ance is about twenty-five.
The Book Depository, under the care of the mission, has thus far proved an im-
portant auxiliary in the diflFusion of religious knowledge, in exciting a spirit of in-
quiry, and in promoting a taste for reading. Quite a considerable number of Bibles
and religions books have been circulated during the past year.
In the conclusion of our report, we would cm the attention of pastors and congre-
gations to the fact that our missionary force has been enlarged ; and while it is hoped
that our brethren will thus be enabled to prosecute their work with greater efficiency,
it may be well to remember that the expenses of our mission will be augmented, and
consequently that our missionary fund will need to be more liberally supplied. All
which is respectfully submitted.
The following resolution was offered by Rev. Messrs. S. Wallace
and J. Shields, and adopted:
Whereas, It is important that the youth of our church should be educated under
the influence of sound religions principles : and whereas, Westminster College, at
New Wilmington, Pa. ; Franklin College, at New Athens, 0. ; Madison College,
At Antrim, O. ; Muskingum College, at New Concord, 0. ; Monmouth College, at
Monmouth, 111. ; and Washington College, at Washington, Iowa, are to a greater
or less extent, under the control of the United Church, and afford opportunities for
such an education, therefore
Resolved f That members of the church are earnestly recommended to patronize these
institutions, and render all possible aid in promoting their prosperity.
On motion the thanks of the Synod were rendered to T. McConnell, and J. P.
Penny, Rsqs., for their counsels ; also to the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago,
Newark and Sandusky, Ohio, Steuben ville and Indiana, Pennsylvania Centrnl, Spring-
field and Mount Vernon, and Bellefontaine and Indiana Bailroads, for reduction of
fare, and excursion tickets furnbhed to members of Synod. Also
To the citizens of Allegheny, Pittsburgh, and vicinity, for their kind hospitality to
the members of Synod, — and to the Gazette, Dispatch, Evening Chronicle, and Uni-
ted Presbyterian, for having reported the proceedings of Synod.
On motion, Synod adjourned to meet at Xenia, Ohio, on the 8d
Wednesday of May, 1859, at 2 o'clock, P. M.
Closed with prayer by the Rev. D. Macdill, D. D., singing the
183d Psalm, and pronouncing the apostolic benediction.

Thb General Synod of the Associate Reformed Church of North
America, met in the First Associate Reformed Church, Allegheny
City, 19th May, 1858.
This church was built in 1882, and rebuilt in 1838. At the
first organization of the congregation, the present pastor, who at
that time had the care of the Theological Seminary, was called to
take charge of it. The congregation at first numbered twenty fa-
milies and fifty-five communicants. At the close of the sixth year,
the first house being filled, it was resolved to take it down, and
erect, upon the same lot, the present building, which is 95 feet in
length by 68 in width.
Though, in the interior, a commodious and very conveoient build-
ing, of sufficient capacity to hold 1200 hearers, its exterior shows
that it is a very plain building. In the basement, we have two
spacious rooms for the accommodation of the Sabbath school, and
for holding the weekly prayer-meetings. Two looms in the front
of the basement are occupied as store-rooms.
When first organized, Messrs. Thomas Hanna and Hezekiab
Nixon were elected Ruling Elders. The former died a few years
since, after spending an exemplary and most useful life. In his
last will he left a large legacy for religious and benevolent pur-
poses ; 12,000 dollars of which have been appropriated to the erec-
tion of our Theological Seminary Building. Mr. Nixon is now a
Ruling Elder in our second church.
In the year 1819, the congregation erected a house in the adjoin-
ing village of Manchester, for the accommodation of the members
residing there. At that time, some thirty families, and about sixty
communicants were dismissed to form the new congregation.
At the close of the year 1855, the congregation had increased^
until it was found that additional room was necessary. Accord-
ingly a meeting of the congregation was called, when it was unani-
mously resolvea to procure a lot and erect another house of worship,
which, when completed, might be occupied by any who were so dis-
posed. In accordance with this resolution, a lot was procured on
Ridge Street, on which is erected a neat and commodious building.
On this occasion some forty families were dismissed, and about one
hundred communicants, to form our Second Associate Reformed
Church in this city.
At our first communion, 30th June, 1833, sixty -six communicants
united in the celebration of our Lord^s death. Since the first or-
ganization of the church, we have received into communion ( 1759)
one thousand seven hundred and fifty -nine. Of these, in the course of
twenty-six years, a considerable number have been removed by
death ; more have left to commence the two congregations which
we have planted ; and some have removed to other parts of the
church.

Thus, in the space of a little over twenty years, this congregation,
commencing with twenty families, has erected two buildings for
her own accommodation, and two others for the convenience of her
daughters. And by the good hand of our God upon us, we num-
ber 225 familiea, and 566 communicants.
Our present session is composed of John Sterritt, James M.
Walker, Thomas McCance, James McCutcheon, Samuel W. McGin-
nis, William McHendry, and John Hopkins. John Sterritt and
Addison Lysle are the superintendents of our Sabbath-school.
Our Sabbath -school numbers some 800 children, and, in connec-
tion with sister United Presbyterian Churches of this city, supports
four mission Sabbath-schools. From past experience of the good-
ness of God, we would take encouragement, and with grateful hearts
would erect our Ebenezer, sayings Hitherto the Lord hath
HELPED us.

THE UNITED PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
NORTH AMERICA.
Thb negotiations which had been carried on for several years,
between the Assooiat£ and Associate: Reformed Presbyterian
Churches were brought to a close by the formation of the United
Pesbyterian Church of North America.*
The joint action of the Associate and Associate Reformed
Churches on the subject of Union is as follows:
RESOLUTIONS ON THB SUBJECT OF UNION.
WTiereas, It is anderstood that the Testimony submitted to the General Synod of
the Associate Reformed Church by the Associate Synod, was proposed and accepted
as a terra of communion, on the adoption of which the union of the two Churches
was to be consummated ; and, whereas, it is agreed between the two Churches that the
forbearance in love, which is required by the law of God, will be exercised towards
any brethren who may not be able fully to subscribe the Standards of the United
Church, while they do not determinedly oppose them, but follow the things which
make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another : —
Resolved, 1. That these Churches, when united, shall be called the " United Presby-
terian Church of North America."
Resolved, 2. That the respective Presbyteries of the Churches shall remain as at
present constituted, until otherwise ordered, as convenience shall suggest
Resolved, 3. That the Supreme Court of this Church shall be a General Assembly,
to meet annually, to be composed of delegates from the respective Presbyteries, the
number of delegates to be according to the proportion of the members constituting
each Presbyterv, as now fixed by the rules of the Associate Reformed Church, until
a change shall be found expedient.
Resolved, 4. That there shall be subordinate Synods, and these shall be the same
as those now existing in the Associate Beformed Church, to which Synods the differ-
ent Presbyteries in the Associate Church shall attach tnemselves for the present ac-
cording to their location, provided that the separate Synods and Presbyteries of the
said Associate Beformed and Associate Churches shall also continue as at present
constituted until otherwise directed.
Resolved, 5. That the General and subordinate Synods shall be regral&ted according-
to the rules presently in force in the Associate Beformed Charch, until the United
Church shall see fit to alter such rules.
Resolved, 6. That the different Boards and Institutions of the respective Churches
shall not be affected by this union, but shall have the control of then* funds, and retain
all their corporate, or other rights and privileges, until the interests of the Church
shall require a change.
Resolved^ 7. That these and other regulations found necessary, being agreed upon
by the respective Synods at the present meeting in the city or AUeghenv, the two
Synods shall meet at such a place as shall mutually be agreed upon, and after addres*
* A full account of these negotiations, with the speeches, Ac, &c, will be found in

8GS by Dr. Rodgers, Dr. Pressly, Rev. Mr. Smart, and Rev. Mr. PresUey, be consti-
tuted with prayer by the Senior Moderator, after which a Moderator and Clei'k shall
be chosen by the United Charch.
According to the report of the joint committee of arrangements,
the two Synods met at the corner of Sraithfield and Seventh Streets,
Pittsburgh, and marched in procession to the City Hall, where the
fraternization took place; Rev. Joseph T. Cooper led the Assembly
in prayer, and Rev. Donald C. McLaren read the 100th Psalm. The
addresses having been delivered by those appointed, and a few re-
marks by Rev. W. S. Plumer, of the Presbyterian Church, (O. S.,)
and Prayer by Rev. Wra. Davidson.
The ceremony of Union was as follows:
Dr. Pressly : The design was that in this aggregate meeting the Union should be
oonsummated. I now move that Dr. McLaren, in the name of the Associate Reformed
Synod, give the right hand of fellowship to Dr. Cooper, Moderator of the Associate
Synod. The motion was carried.
The two Moderators then approached each other, and taking each other's right
hand.
Dr. McLaren : In the presence of this assembly, in the presence of the members
of this Synod, in tlie presence of Almighty Qod, I extend to yon, my brother, the
right hand of fellowship, in love indeed, aud may this Union be to the glory of Qod,
forever ! Amen.
Dr. Cooper : Most cordially I reciprocate this expression of my dear brother's
heart In the name of the Associate Synod of Nortn America, I give a brother's
hand and a brother's heart. Let onr hands thus linked together be the token and
the emblem of this union. Here let us pledge our mutual fidelity and our mutual
love. Let us bury in a common grave our past differences. Here we have unfurled
our banner, on one side inscribed, *• The truth of God,*' and on the other, •* For-
BEARANCB IN LovB.** Let US foUow ouf glorlous Captain, and seek to glory only
in his cross.
The whole assembly then arose, and sang the 18th and 19th verses of the kxii
Psalm.
Dr. McLaren then pronounced the Apostolic benediction: The erace of oar
Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with
you all. Amen.
THE UNITED PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH CONSTITUTED.
Dr. Pressly moved that, as the union was consummatecl, it be
now constituted with prayer, which was then offered by Dr. Mc-
Laren.
Dr. Cooper moved that Rev. Dr. Pressly, of Allegheny, be cho-
sen Moderator of the United Presbyterian Church. He was unani-
mously elected by acclamation.
Dr. Pressly : Suffer me to render thanks to God that my life
has been spared to see the union consummated, for which I have
laboured for twenty-two years, and permit me to render thanks
to you for the unexpected honour of presiding over the first
meeting.
Rev. Dr. Clokey moved that Dr. Wilson, of Xenia, be elected
Clerk.
Rev. Mr. Smart moved that the Synod of the United Presbyterian
Church do now adjourn to meet at Xenia, Ohio, on the third Wed-
nesday of May, 1859, at 7 o'clock, P. M. Carried.
Rev. Dr. Pressly pronounced the benediction, and the Synod
adjourned.

1858, in the City of Pittsburgh, Pa. They have been invited to
send their representatives to "Thb General Assembly of the

The General Synod of the Eeformed Presbyterian Churcli in
North America met in the First Reformed Presbyterian Church,
Eden, Illinois, May 27th, 1858, and was opened with a discourse
by the retiring Moderator.
2 Cor., xiii. 8. We cao do nothing against the trath.
While some things are debtors for their charms to circumstances,
others have a native and a winning beauty. The moon shines by
another's light. The sun has a brightness of its own. The ordi-
nary fruit trees wait for the coming of the summer, that she may
ut their foliage on, and hang the golden fruits upon their limbs;
ut the cedar stands up in its native glory and greenness all the
bleak winter through. And thus in the moral world. Men and
governments and human arrangements lean on something external
to themselves ; but Truth has a strength of its own. It wears the
stamp of an immortal thing, and cannot be successfully assailed.
I. Time can do nothing against the Truth. He is the waster
who destroys at noon-day, and in the night; who touches all things
indiscriminately, and by whose mysterious power the monuments
decay, and the mountains crumble, and all the works of art are
found to disappear. Time is against every created thing — against
the feeble and the strong, against the lowly and the high, against
the granite rock and the fragile plants.
But he cannot touch the Truth, save as he touches the fruits to
mature and perfect them ; or as he does the pictures of the old mas-
ters, to throw a richer, lovelier light upon them all. What time can-
not destroy, he adorns and elevates.
Our estimate of goodness can affect it in no way whatever. The
Greenlander glories in his bleak abode ; and all the asserted charms
of a more genial clime fade in his view, when compared with the
frosty decorations, and the glittering icebergs, and the deep blue
sky, and the bright burning stars that make the garniture of his

Eolar home. But let a southern summer once show to him one of
er lovelier scenes, and throw around him the comforts of a true
oivilization, and then the inferior no longer charms. Thus truth
shall, at last, be thought a thing of glory everywhere, and in the
latter and better era sit as a queen. Time is but the amber cover-
ing of truth, the golden setting of the priceless jewel.
II. Truth cannot be put down. There are perceptible antagon-
isms in the universe of God. We know how evil pursues good
with all the malice of a furious and baiHed foe, how error lies in
wait for truth and plots its overthrow by every artifice ; but all
in vain. This deadly Upas stretches out its limbs, and shakes its
noxious boughs, and blights by its shade the plants of paradise.
The graves of the good are everywhere, many of them prematurely
green, and hiding and covering from our view many of the best
and purest of the sons of earth. But has truth perished because
these are no more ?
Could evil have crushed the ohurcVs creed in the past, and re-
duced its living, burning, heavenly truths to a thing of nought, it
would have found no gain in slaying the church's children. When
Paganism let out her furious beasts upon the guiltless Christians in
the amphitheatre, it was not to these helpless men it bore the grudge,
but to that eternal truth which so lived itself out in their holy
carriage, as to give strange power to a dormant heathen conscience.
Bome blew the fires on Smithfield, and offered up the holocaust to
St. Bartholomew, not because she feared those she slew. 'Twas that
she hoped through the death of these Protesting men to pierce and
crucify the truth they loved. But all in vain. And as there is one
clime in which death cannot stay, and one unseen city which is ex-
empt from harmful change, so is there one immortal corporation over
which seasons and circumstances and wasting influences pass harm-
lessly, and that is the church of God, the pillar and ground of truth.
III. Truth cannot be resisted. Some things have great power
of resistance, but no aggressive force. The rock stands up from
age to age, unmoved by all the waves that beat upon it, yet it makes
310 advance. But truth both bears up against all pressure, and
pushes its own resistless way.
There is a league between all true things in the universe. He,
therefore, who opposes truth, is arrayed not against an isolated
thing. He faces a multitude, and in his personal feebleness sets
himself against a phalanx, whose resistless force and whose heavy
tread shall quite bear down every enemy. There is a strange vi-
tality in truth. You may push the painted buoy below the sur-
face of the sea, but it will leap instantly to it again. You may
cut off every limb from the green and growing tree, but you cannot
thus reach the law of its growth, nor hinder the outspringing of
yet more vigorous buds. And thus with the truth of God. It is
aggressive and resistless. As the perennial spring, around which
you build the wall of adamant, will make its way to the light by
avenues and channels you cannot see nor shut^ so with truth. See
' India, China, Birraah, and Africa.

IV. The task which God has set for truth will explain the text.
This is to renew and raise, and perfect man — to put the garden's
bloom on the wilderness — to set up the authority of Christ. There
is a work to be done as well in the State as the Church. And this
shall be a work both of demolition and of repair. There are thrones
of iniquity which must come down. National sin must be assaulted
in its citadel. Vile men must be pulled from the prominence to
which they have no claim. Political corruption must be ferreted
from its fastness near the throne and behind the constitution, and
vice and wrong lie bound and still.
Nor this alone, for there is a work of repair to be done. The
yoke must be broken from the necks of the guiltless. With us
God's law is spurned, and he who departeth from evil maketh him-
self a prey. And he who pleads for the authority of the "higher
law'' shall hear the howl of hate as it comes up from the mcJb, and
shall we say it ? — the hissings of the pulpit. We are ridden over by
the wrong. The crown of political martyrdom is woven for the
head of him who shall attempt the hopeless work of reform. No,
not hopeless, for yet the rights of God shall be owned. This maw-
kish sympathy with legalized evil shall be abashed. The race of
demagogues shall die. The State's vocabulary shall be re-written.
The civil disabilities shall fall, as they should, on the heads of the
vile, and virtue be no longer the high road to political obscurity, but
to fame and power. The church, too, shall be reformed.
V. A good man can do nothing, wittingly, against the truth.
Let us learn hence,
1. The true mission of the church. This is not merely to con-
vert men to God, but to exhibit a system of sound doctrine, to
maintain a pure worship, and prepare thus the redeemed for glory.
The church is the appointed guardian for truth, and must keep it,
as kept those ancient vestals their sacred fire; as keeps the sleep-
less miser his yellow gold ; as keeps the servant what the master
has confided to his loving care. Fallen man of himself would
neither know nor guard the truth. If a shower of golden rain
should fall upon a territory of savages unacquainted with the pre-
cious metal, although the glittering drops might cause a momentary
delight, they would soon be sufiered to lie neglected on the ground.
So would it be with truth. God therefore, named and prepared
his holy church for the office of the truth's guardian. She is the
light of the world — ^the city on the hill that may be seen from afar.
And then the church is to go forth girt for the great work of the
world's conversion, asserting the rights of the Redeemer, and pres-
sing his claim on men and governments everywhere.
2. Learn the secret of the church's success. "Not by might," &c.
But this divine leadership she may not look for, should she prove
recreant to her trust, or betray or ignore the truth* She must
cleave to all the truth. Do you know any one revealed truth you
would follow to-day to its burial ? Will you dig its grave, or write
its epitaph ?
Things are true as well as statements. The church's past, and the

church's worship, so far as it is moral in its kind and God-given, is
as certainly true as her creed is. God is best served by his own
golden censers^ and with his own incense and his own ritual.
Emasculated and partial truth shall not secure the victory. What
would the fire's blaze and glare amount to without its heat — or what
a gorgeous temple without its girders ? The great truths of the
past may be just the ones for which the future awaits. If mistakes
in the physical sciences be dreaded and dangerous, why not much
more in the moral 7 Truth alone shall triumph in the end, and
that which follows it.

truth, but seeking promotion and enlargement by its surrenderings-
Better be with Athanasius against the world, and with John in the
isle a prisoner for Christ's testimony, than with the mass against
them.

Rev. Andrew GiflEbrd Wylie of Duanesburgh, New York, was
elected Moderator.
To a call for Reports, the following Presbyteries responded:
Chicago, Northern Ohio, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Saharanpur, and
Western. These were referred to a Committee, of which Rev. J.
A. Crawford was Chairman, and they reported as follows :
During tJie Bynodical year there has been a steady iDcrease in the Church's mem*
bersbip. The precious season of revival which God has granted, will doubtless ac-
count for this.
Brethren tell us tiiat the baptism of fire has been enjoyed, and that, as the rcinilt
of this, not only have sinners been converted unto God, but the Church herself has
seemed a holier and lovelier thing^ of late. We cannot, and would not be ingrntes
amid scenes so joy-begetting and suggestive as those tliat have been witnesGed. We
thank God aiiisl take courage.
The Reports handed us show also an increase, though it be moderate, of our minis,
terial force. And yet, how inadequate the supply I Of this inadequacy all the Pres-
byteries are complaining, and urge on Synod to put in operation at once the ma*
chinery of our Theological Seminary. We earnestly commend this thing to Synod.
The Theological Seminary has become almost a necessity to the Church in this our
day. For, whatever may be the honest difference of view in regard to its alleged
advantages over the old mode of fitting men for the ministry, it is agreed that the
25

public Christian seDtiment demands it, and that young men cannot be patisfied with-
out it. We urge Synod to fill the vacant chairs, and let the Church know that we
have a seminary.
The matter of Union is referred to by some of these Beports, and Synod is urged
to give to it a prayerful consideration, especially as it is sought by difierent parts of
the Reformed Churches.
There is a request preferred by the Northern Presbytery, that those members of it
living in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, be set off as a distinct and separate
Presbytery. We recommend, for various reasons, that the request be granted, in
such form as Synod may direct.
We find in the Report of the Saharanpur Presbytery most grateful mention of the
loving-kindness of the Lord, to our dear brethren in India during the late fearful
insurrection. The Presbytery there has been preserved in its integprity, and the
Church is called to rejoice.
€mmitUt 011 €axttipn}itnct.
The Committee of Correspondence with the Synod of the Re-
formed Presbyterian Church, presented the following report which
was adopted, as follows :
The Committee of Correspondence with the other department of
the Beformed Presbyterian Church, report to Synod:
That they received from said bi-eihreu u reply to our last communication, re-
spectful in language, and breathing a spirit of brotherly love and unity. To this
letter we have ma^e a re^\j ; but as in our former letter, there was a suggestion, as
to the meeting of the committees for mutual conference, which was by them accepted ;
and as this meeting has not yet taken place, it is thought best not to report either
their letter to us, or our replv to it, but to wait the result of our anticipated meeting
of conference, when we shall be able to make a more full and satisfactory report, than
can be done at the present The Committee would only further state, that the cor-
respondence thus far conducted, is hopeful in its results, and therefore recommend the
ooDtinuance of the Committee. ^
€mmiiUt an H^teUmxnUs.
The special Committee on the Professorates reported as follows :
The Committee to whom was referred the matter of filling the
chairs in the Theological Seminary, vacated last year by the resigna-
tion of the professors, would respectfully report :
That having taken the matter into consideration, after a full and free interchange
of views, they have agreed to recommend to Synod, that they proceed to elect by
ballot a professor of Theology ; and having effected this, that they elect the remain-
ing professors in the same way.
In the event of the acceptance of the appointments by the individuals chosen by
Synod, it is further recommended, that the pulpits of such as sustain pastoral relation-
i^ips, be supplied by arrangement of Synoa during the sessions of the Seminary.
They would also recommend that a salary of $400 be paid the professors for their
aervices. And in the event of their finding it necessary to resign their present pas-
toral relationships, in order to discharge the duties of the Seminary, thAum of $1000
be the annual salarr allowed them. Should other relationships be constituted subse-
quently, Synod will be at liberty to make such change in the last named salary aa
may be judged equitable.
in conclusion, they would recommend that the Trustees of the Seminary use all due
diligence to secure Uie full endowment of the Seminary as enjoined by last Synod.
And also, should the former residence of the late Dr. Wylie be attainable, they
are directed to take the necessary steps to secure it for the uses of the Seminary.

And farther, that until such time as the endowment becomes available, collectiona
be taken up annually for the support of the Seminary.
Rev. John N. MoLbod was elected profesor of Doctrinal and
Pastoral Theology. Bey. A. W. Blace was elected professor of
Exegetical, Historical, and Evangelistic Theology.
The Superintendent of the Theological Seminary reported as
follows :
Inasmuch as the Seminary has not been in operation during the past year, our
report is of necessity limited. We have held a meeting consulting for the interests
of the Seminary, and hoped to have been able to report something in regard to the
completion of the endowment But the financial crisis, through whicn we have
passed, in connection with the fact of the Seminary not being in active operation,
nas prevented anything from being definitely done. As, however, by the present
action of Synod, the chairs in the Seminary have been filled, we recommend tnat the
Trustees be directed, as soon as possible, to complete the endowment to make ar-
rangements for the purchase of the i^esidence of the late Dr. Wylie, for the use of the
Seminary, if this be practicable, and see to any other things neoeasary for the carry-
ing the Seminary Into efficient operation.
Resolved 1. That should the way be fotind clear, at any time
prior to the next meeting of the General Synod, the ministers now
Delonging to the Northern Presbytery, and residing in the British
provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, with their connec-
tions, or a majority of them, with ruling elders, be authorized to
constitute a Presbytery in subordination to this Synod.
Resolved 2. That the name of such Presbytery, when duly con-
stituted, shall be the Reformed Presbytery of Nova Scotia and New
Brunswick, in connection with the General Synod of the Beformed
Presbyterian Church in North America.
Resolved 3. That the Rev. Alexander Clarke, Senior Minister^
of Amherst, Nova Scotia, be directed to open the Presbytery with
a sermon, and constitute it, in the name of Jesus Christ the only
King and Head of the Church.
Resolved, That the thanks of the Synod be returned to the inhabi-
tants of Eden and its vicinity for their hearty and efficient hospi-
talities to the members ; also to the Moderator for his excellent
sermon preached at the opening of their present sessions ; also to
those railroad companies, and their officers, from whom accommo-
dations have been received in attending the presept meeting.
Resolved, That Synod do now adjourn, to meet in the city of
Philadelphia, on the fourth Monday of May, 1859, at half past
7 o'clock, P. M.
Adjourned, after prayer, singing the ISSd psalm, and receiving
the apostolic benediction from the Moderator.

Saku&l Wtlie, the writer of the following sketch, ft native
of Ireland, removed to the United States of America, in 1807, and in
1811, received the degree of Bachelor of Arts in the University of
Pennsylvania; after which, entering the Divinity Hall in Philadel-
phia, under the Presidency of the Rev. S. B. Wylie, D. D., in 1816 by
the Philadelphia Presbyterv of the Reformed Presbyterian Church,
he was licensed to preach the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. He
visited the Churches in many of the States in the summers of 1815
and 1816, returning and spending the winters of each of those yeai*s
in the Theological School in Philadelphia.
Finding in the Eastern and Middle States, many owning small
farms, or renting land and labouring under great disadvantages,
who, by selling and removing west, could have large farms; and
religious families, by locating near each other, could have their
churches and schools convenient, and so be profited in worldly
Soods, in intelligence, and in grace. Influenced by the above re-
ection, the summer and fall of 1817 were spent in exploring new
countries, travelling west as far as any settlements were found.
Illinois was a wilderness from Yincennes to St. Louis, sometimes
over twenty miles from house to house. Crossing the Mississippi
at St. Louis, the course was continued west as far as Franklin and
Boons vlUe, Mo*
Leaving Missouri in November, and passing through Illinois,
Kentucky, and Tennessee to Chester, South Carolina, there spend-
ing the winter; in spring left for Pittsburgh, where, in May 1818,
the Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian Church was in session.
He (3. W.) having reported to Synod his travels, and the prospect
of Church extension in the West, was ordained to the office of the
holy ministry, and sent a missionary to Southern Illinois.
In the summer of 1818, Delegates met in convention, in Kaskas-
kia, to frame a state constitution, there being then some over 40,000
inhabitants in the Territory. At the same time S. W. began his
missionary operations in Randolph, and parts of St Clair, Wash-
ington, and Perry Counties. During the sessions of the Convention
he was often present, and in conversation, privately, with the Pres-
ident (Judge Thomas) and other members of the Convention, urged
the propriety, duty, and necessity of owning and honouring the
Qod of nations, and regarding his law as supreme ; as now they
were laying the foundation-stone on which the edifice of a great
state was to be reared.
A petition signed by Robert Thompson and others, members of
the Associate Reformed Church, near Kaskaskia, was brought be-
fore the Convention, praying that the Bible be recognized in the
constitution as a Divine Revelation, — ^the Law of Ood, the paramount
Rule, and Jesus, the Messiah owned as Head and Lord of all. The
Convention was composed of diverse materials ; some Christian

men, some respecters of religion, and one or more openly avowed
infidels. The first motion to dispose of the petition was " that it
be laid on the table till the fourth of July.*' This motion failing,
it was referred to a select committee, which not having been called
on to report, near the close of the session asked to be dismissed.
These items are stated in the journal of the Convention.
There being no members of the Reformed Presbyterian Church
in Southern Illinois, S. W., on request, agreed to make his princi-
pal preaching station with a Society of the Associate Befbrmed
people, who, at a still earlier date, had removed from South Caro-
lina.
Emigrants of the Presbyterian order aimed for the settlement
where the gospel on the Bible plan of the Westminster Confession
of Faith, and Catechisms Larger and Shorter, was regularly preached.
In 1821 a congregation of the Reformed Presbyterian Church was
organized, and called Rev. S. Wylie to be their pastor. He accepted
their call, having thirty-five names annexed to the call ; and set-
tled with a salary of $208. The congregation claiming only half
the services of their pastor, missionary operations, to a consiaerable
extent, were still continued ; including an area whose diameter would
be from twenty-four to thirty miles.
The congregation increased in a few years, till over 850 commu-
nicants; their distant societies were becoming strong, claiming, and
obtaining organization ; and some of them now are settled congrega*
tions. Salem on the north was first set off and organized ; then,
Hill Prairie, N. W., and Concord, S. E., being organized, called
and obtained for their pastor Rev. M. Harshaw, who ministered
to the joint charge for some years ; and having given up Hill Prairie,
continues the Pastor of Concord. Grand-cote, N. E., was organ-
ized, and in connection with Unity, called and enjoyed the pastoral
labours of Rev. James Pearson, till his removal by death. Unity
and Hill Prairie have been enjoying the pastoral labours of Rev.
N. K. Crow, for nearly two years. Bethel, the original stock, and
first congregation under the pastoral care of Rev. S. Wylie, wor-
ships in Eden. The congregation is compact; few members distant,
it numbers over 280 communicants.
There was a division in the Reformed Presbyterian Church in
1833, which affected all or almost all the congregations of the
body ; Eden and its neighbouring congregations also suffered. The
separating brethren are known as the Synod of the Reformed Pres-
byterian Church, and the original body as the General Syni>d of
the Reformed Presbyterian Church. Of the separating brethren
there are four coi^gregations and four ministers, — two settled, and
two not settled. The Associate Reformed have had seven congre-
gations, and four ministers, — three settled, and one professor in
the Seminary. The Associate have one congregation.
In May, 1858, a union was effected between the Associate and As-
sociate Reformed, and hereafter to be known as the United Presby-
terian Church.

years after the church organization have been lost, or are not forth*
coming. But three, whose names were on the call accepted in 1821,
are in our congregation, and two of those are now members of
our session.
Our session at first was organized with two Buling Elders,
namely: Samuel Little and William Edgar, who had been ordained
in Tennessee, and removed to Illinois in 1820.
William Edgar was a man of quiet, sober habits ; aiming in all
that he did at a blameless and holy life. Samuel Little was a man
of more extended information in matters civil and religious, zeal-
ous for soundness in doctrine and strictness in discipline in the
house of Qod. From that small beginning with two Buling El-
ders, our members in session wera increased from time to time;
some elected in the congregation and ordained, and some who had
been ordained in other places elected by the congregation.
James McClurkin, a member of the Associate Reformed Church,
took great interest in helping strangers to find out good locations,
leaving his plough and for days searching out lines, and pointing
out good lands. He soon joined the Beformed Presbyterian Church,
and being elected was ordained a Buling Elder. His widow is still
with us, an honoured and godly mother in Israel.
James Monford, a ruling elder from South Carolina, became a
member of our session ; after his death his son David Monford be-
came a member of session, and when Qrand-cote congregation was
set oft* from us, he and James Wilson, another of our Elders, be-
longed to it.
Samuel Nesbit, William Jamison, and William Pattison were at
one time elected and ordained. William Jamison is long since
dead; William Pattison with a large family of sons removed to Ore-
gon, and afterwards to Washington Ter., near Olympia. Samuel
Nesbit is still an honoured member of our session, he is fast nearing
his four-score.
James Wilson, Sr., whose family and connections were the first
Beformed Presbyterians that came to this settlement, had a large
family of sons and daughters. He laboured much for the good of
the infant congregation, and died in a good old age, in the full as-
surance of faith. Three of his sons have been members of our ses-
sion. His youngest son, Henry Wilson, a youth of exemplary
piety, after having ruled faithfully for a period in the house of God;
was early called home to be present with the Lord, leaving a widow
and six children.
James Wilson, as stated above, is a Buling Elder in Grand-cote
congregation. John, the eldest son, is still a member of our ses-
sion. John Bicbman, ordained in our session, became a Buling
Elder in Concord congregation, when it received organization.
John Fulton, ordained in Ohio, was chosen a member of our ses-
sion, and remained an active and useful member till removed by
death. His son David Fulton has been, and still continues, a rerj
useful and active member of the Board of Trustees.
John K. Tailor and Thomas Blair, ordained in Tennessee, having

been elected in the coDgregation, were members of session for some
years, both men of piety and sound judgment ; both rest from their
labours. Thomas Armour, a member dT session for several years,
has for a long time been numbered with the dead ; a son of bis is now
in the ministry. John Campbell, formerly an elder with ns, is now
in the Unity congregation.
Charles McKelvey, elected and ordained a Buling Elder with us;
was a meek and unassuming Christian; a man of sound judgment;
labouring always for the peace and prosperity of Zion. He died in
18&6, leaving the widow and a numerous family, to be comforted
in sorrow, by knowing that for him to be absent from the body
was to be present with the Lord. His eldest son, Bev. H. A.
McKelvey, is a missionary in the State of Minnesota.
There have been in all, twenty-seven (27) Ruling Elders in our
session, from its organization. The session at present is composed
of ten Buling Elders, with the Moderator.
Names of Elders:— James Blair, Samuel Nesbit,. John McCauchan,
John Wilson, Bobert W. Marshall, M. D., James Craig, William
McHenry, Joseph McHenry, James Crawford, and Samuel L. Boyd.
Names of the members of the present Board of Trustees : — Bryce
Crawford, David Fulton, John Watson, Samuel McKelvey, Bobert
McLaughlin. The congregation have no Deacons.

byterian Church, are,

God has given the inhabitants of this land his best and richest
blessings ; the Bible "a light to the foot and a lamp to the path ;"
the Gospel, calling sinners to repent, and directing them to Jesus.
May not the dwellers of this land say, " The Lord hath done great
things for us, whereof we are glad ?"
Bapid has been the advance of Illinois since it became a State,
especially in the last half-dozen years. Population in 1818 scarcely
reaching 40,000, now, largely over a million ; then, no graded roads
or turn-pikes, now, a net-work of Bailroads overspreads the state ;
then, only a few small towns and villages, now, large cities and
flourishing towns; then, the interior of the state far removed from
market, now, market brought to the door ; then, few schools, now,
colleges and public schools adorn the state.
The present advancing state is but the dawn of an opening and
brighter day. Honouring the Lord, he will exalt the nation. "They
that honour God he will honour ; but they that despise him shall
be lightl V esteemed." " Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord."
" O Lord God of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee."

THE ASSOCIATE REFORMED
PEESBYTERIAN SYNOD OF THE SOUTH,
Thb Associate Reformed Synod of the South met agreeably
to appointment, at Due West, Abbeville District, South Carolina,
on Monday, 11th of October, 1858, and was opened with a discourse
by the retiring Moderator.
Jeremiab, zxiii: 5. Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raisie unto
David a rii;hteous branch, and a King ahall reign and prosper, and shall execute judg-
ment and justice in the earth.
The coming of the Messiah was foretold by the Prophets. In
this verse He is described as a Branchy a righteous Branch. Then
He is called a King.
I. Christ as King.
What was implied in the term King?
1. Supreme power. 2. Legislative authority. S. Bighteous ad-
ministration.
II. The reign of Christ.' 1. His reign is lawful.
2. His reign is spiritual. His kingdom is not meat and drink;
but righteousness and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
The means by which his kingdom is promoted are spiritual.
" The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but spiritual."
3. His reign is benevolent. To bring glory to Ood, and peace
to man is its object.
III. Christ's reign prosperous.
A cheering truth. It has prospered. Its extent proves its pros-
perity. It is to be still more extensive. It shall embrace all peo-
ple. His dominion shall extend from sea to sea, &c. In order
thereto, the world must undergo a great change. Institutions of
men must be overturned; Mohammedanism must be destroyed; Pa-
ganism must be removed; the Boman apostasy must be overcome.
IV. The means to be employed in extending Christ's kingdom,
is the preaching of the gospel. This is the great instrumentality.
The command : — " Preach the gospel."
The gospel has been successful, and is now preached in almost
every land.
Ministers should remember whose they are. They should labour
and pray for the coming of Christ's kingdom. They should dedi-
cate their all to their Lord and Master.
Conclusion. — It is pleasant to return again to this seat of science;
the birth place of some of us, — the spiritual birth-place of others.
Our first inquiry should be, " Watchman, what of the night?"

The Synod proceeded to the election of a Moderator, which re-
sulted in the choice of Rev. R. C. Grier, D. D.
Rev, J. E. Pressly was appointed Assistant Clerk.
The Committee on Presbyterial Reports, Rev. L. McDonald,
Chairman, reported as follows :
A careful revision of the several reports will justify the following conclo^ons :
Firgi. That God has blessed us as ministers and people, with an unusnal amoant
of health, in consequence of which, the ordinances have been administered and eo-
joyed to an extent perhaps unprecedented in our history as a church.
Second. That the outpouring of the Holy Spirit has been manifested and enjoyed
amongst our churches to an unprecedented extent. One-half, or more of our Presby-
teries report more or less powerful worlcs of £^cc within their respective boonds, re«
suiting, not only in quiclcening God's own people, but in gathering into the fold of
Christ many precious souls, who hitherto naa '* cared for none of these things," as
also in reclaiming backsliders from the declensions in which thev had fallen. In con-
templating this glorious feature of God*s dealings, we may well exclaim, " The Lord
hath done great things for us, whereof we are glad." Ho has verified hia promise
graciously made to his people, that he would pour out his Spirit, " as water upon the
thirsty, and as floods on the dry ground.^' And oh, what encouragement does it af-
ford OS, to labour and pray for the extension of his kingdom, and for the diffusion of
a savour of his knowledge, in all our land, and throughout the world I
Third. 1'hat in all oar bounds there seems to be an increased attention given to the
administration of ordinances ; that prayer meetings have been established, Bible clas-
ses formed, and catechetical instruction of children and servants more generally at^
tended to, than in years past ; and another pleasing feature is tlie fact that peace and
harmony and concord exist between the pastors and their respective flocks.

But the fiitvre is oot aU brightneBs, but has its shades. Some portions of oar
charch are represented, as Laodicea of old. as being " luke-warm and neither cold nor
hot," to whom oar Lord and Master addressees the solemn admonition, '* Because
thou art luke^warm, and neither cold uor hot, I will spew thee oat of my month."
Thisfthonld be for a lameDtation, and should hanible us in the sight of our God.
In November IsMt, Rev. A. F. Quay departed this life^ at his residence, in Cabar-
roa County, North Carolina, after several years' service m the Church, sostsin^, as
we might have supposed, by the Oliristian's hope. This visitation should teach us the
Bolemu lesson, that constant preparation fur death is our highest dut^, seeing that
we know not the hour when our Master shall come. It also should stimulate us to
fidelity in oar Master's work, as the time is short, and a great work is to be per-
formed.
The Oonimittee on Erskine College, Be v. John Wilson, Chair-
man, reported as follows :
That they have examined the papers put into their hands, and they afford pleasing
evidence of the increasing prosperity and usefulness of the institution. The last
graduating class is one of the largest that has ever graduated at the place ; and the
whole number of students in attendance has been larger than usual. They are also
reported as conducting themselves with greater propriety during the latter part of
the collegiate year.
The report of the Committee of Examination shows, that they had attended to their
duty faithfully, and they were well satisfied with the evidence of faithfulness on the
part of the Faculty, and with tfa« scholarship and gentlemanly deportment of the
young men in general.
The finances of the institution appear to be on the whole in a prosperous condition.
The money subscribed for the endowment is being invested in permanent stock, as
fast as it can be collected.
The Board of Trustees reoommend some changes, which they hope the Synod will
ire and ratify. The first is, that the examination of the senior class shall take
Etwo weeks before the week of commencement, and that the faculty invite a
of Visitors with the Trustees to attend the examination, that the students may
have two weeks to prepare their commencement exercises. The committee recom-
mend that this suggestion be approved aiul ratified.
The next thing that the Board recommend is, that the session in college shall for
the future commence on the second Monday in September in each year, and terminate
on the second Wednesday of July, with a recess of two weeks at Christmai>.
Another change suggested is, that the salaries of the President and Professors shall
each be raised two hundred dollars, pro rata, as the funds of the institution may
warrant
The Board of Trustees have adopted measures in regard to the management of the
fmids, which your committee think wise and judicious.
The last thing brought before us in the report of the Board, is the fact that Dr.
Grier, our respected President, and Professor Young, have tendered their resignations.
On this the Boainl took no action, but they refer the whole matter to Synod. Your
Committee reoommend that the resignation of Dr. Grier be accepted, with tlie under-
standing that he act as Pi-esident pro Urn, until a successor can be secured to take his
place. We also reoommend that Professor Young's resignation be not accepted for
the present^ and that he be requested to serve us as formerly, at least for another
year.
The Committee on Union reported as follows :

prominenoe to the principle, wbich in our earneflt desire for union, and from some
previous action and proressed poutioo of their body on the subject, we had expected :
Resolvedj 1. Tliat if the late communication is to be understood as furnishing tn
their ultimatum in the way of proposals, we canuot encourage our Synod in the hope
of a union beiog efifeoted, nor could we regard the continuance of the present negotia-
tions as desirable.
Resolved, 2. That, although we are unwilling to unite on the g^unds that ha,Te
been oflered, we hold ourselves bound to consider propositiona (if there be anyO which
the General Assembly in their judgment may yet think proper to make.
Rev. Mr. Hoyt, by requeet, r-ead the letter from the Committee of
the General Assembly to the Committee oF the Associate Beformed
Synod. The members of the Assembly's Committee were invited
by the Moderator to address the Synod on the subject of union.
Addresses were then delivered by Dr. Howe and Rev. E. Cater,
explanatory of their views and wishes upon the subject.
The Rev. N. M. Gordon offered the following substitute:
Resdvedf That the Committee on Union proceeding upon the substantial oneness
of the Presbyterian and Associate Reformed Churches, and accepting the fact of tbeir
difference in Psalmody, be directed to treat on the following basis :
That the Associate Beformed Churches be guarded in their principles and nsaires,
that the Presbyterians adopt a mutually acceptable rersion of the Psalms into their
book, and that the Associate Beformed Churches continue to have control of their
institutions and property.
When the Synod was about to take the vote on Mr. Gordon^s
substitute, Rev. John Wilson offered the following resolutiooa :
Resolved, L That the n^otiations with a view to orgauic union be for the pi^osent
suspended.
Kesolved, 2. That the matter of comronnion with the Old School Presbyterian
Church be left to the discretion of Church Sessions, they taking the word of Uod and
the Constitution of the Associate Beformed Church as their guide. >
These resolutions were lost ; the Synod then fell back upon the
Minority Report on Union, or Mr. Gordon's substitute, and when
preparing to take the vote; — on motion of Rev. E. E. Pressly, D.D.,
sustained by a full vote of the house, the subject of union and the
reports which have been discussed, and all the papers connected
therewith, were laid on the table, with the understanding that the
majority and minority reports of the Union Committee, and the
resolutions of Mr. Wilson be published in the minutes. On motion
af Mr. McElroy, thanks were given to Almighty God for the happy
termination to these excited discussions.
The Moderator was directed to communicate by letter this informa-
tion to the Chairman of the General Assembly's Committee on
Union,
The Committee on the Theological Seminory, Rev. J. N. YotTNG,
Chairman, submitted the following report, which was adopted:
That in their Juds^ment it is expedient to organize a Theological Seminary, distinct
from the Literary department of Erskine College, but to be under the supervision of
the Board of Trustees of the College.
As it appears we will have the funds availahle for his salary, we recommend the
appointment of one Professor of Theology.

We would recommend that the ProfesBora in College be requested to con tin ae aa
heretofore to give instructions in the several branches of study, until the Professor
elect may be ready to assume the duties of the station.
We recommend that Uie necessary details for the operations of the Seminary far

It was resolved that a Theological Professor pro tempore be now

Dr. R. C. Grier, late President of Erskine College, was chosen to
thatProfessorship by acclamation.
The Synod now proceeded to the election of a President of Ers-
kine College, which resulted in the choice of Rev. John Miller;
by a rising vote, which was unanimous; who, on beins; interrogated
by the Moderator in relation to his election, intimated his willing-
ness to accept the appointment.
The treasurer of the Domestic Mission reported that during the
year he received $1358.
The thanks of this Synod were tendered to Dr. B. G. Grier for the able and satis-
factory manner with which he has discharged his daties as Presdent of Erskine
Ollege. Also,

it int Wtit, SiBut\ (SmbUu.
Prior to the year 1835, the location of the beautiful villnge of
Due West was an unbroken forest. A church building of very
humble pretensions was the only object which marked the spot.
The surrounding country possessed many charms. As a conse-
quence, it attracted the attention of emigrants from the. old country
at an early period in the settlement of the state. The first settlers
were, for the most part, pious families from Ireland. A congrega*
tioa was organized even before the revolutionary war, and enjoyed
frequently the ministrations of the Bev. Thomas Clark, M. D., of
precious memory. The church has borne the present name, which
is also the name of the village that has grown up around it, from
the first settlement of the country. But the reasons which led to
the appellation are utterly lost. The congregation secured the
services of Bev. Peter McMillan as their first pastor. He was an
Irishman by birth and education. Possessed of great physical
strength, stentorian lungs, and popular talents generally, his settle-
ment promised extensive usefulness. During the early part of his
ministry, his energy and zeal were instrumental in collecting a large
and flourishing congregation. The pastor's hands were strength*
ened by a session which embraced some of the excellent ones of the
earth. Few ruling elders have been so extensively useful, or left
behind them a memory so precious, or an example so valuable, as
John Murphy. A man of sound understanding, cultivated intellect,
and glowing piety ; he was truly a pillar in the church. Owing to
his influence, under God, the church outlived the difficulties which
began to threaten its very existence in the latter part of Mr. McMil-
lan's pastorate.
Charges involving his ministerial standing were preferred against
Mr. McMillan, and after many'very unpleasant occurrences, he de-
clined the authority of Presbytery and lefk the congregation. Ac-
cordingly Presbytery directed Bev. A. Porter to preach at Due
West and declare the congregation vacant. These things occurred
about the beginning of the present century.
From this period we commence a dark and dreary chapter in the
history of Due West At that time there was a great lack of minis-
terial aid in the Associate Beformed Church. Few young men
were entering the ministry. The labourers were scattered over a
large surface of country, and it was not possible that pastors
could give a large share of attention to vacant congregations. Con-
sequently for thirty years Due West remained a vacancy. Her sec-
ond pastor was not born for eight or ten years after the departure
of the first. During this long and dark period a small remnant re-
mained true to the principles and practices of the ehureb of their
fathers. Many in the progress of this period sought a resting place
in the bosom of surrounding denominations. Death claimed others
as its victims, and in 1S14, when Bev. A. Porter emigrated west

of the Ohio river, nearly one half of the congregation of Due West
accompanied him to his ne\f home. In the meantime, as opportu*
nity offered, calls were addressed to various probationers, but with-
out success. Under all these discouragements, the faith and active
efforts of John Murphy were the means blessed, to keep the few
sheep left without a shepherd, from fainting and giving up all as lost.
His work of faith was nobly seconded by John Lindsay, Bobert
Wallace, and John Brown, (since Judge Brown of Indiana.)
In its desolate condition the congregation was cared for by Pres^
bytery. The fathers, Irwin, Renwiok, and Porter, frequently visited
them, and brake to them the bread of life, and more recently they
received supplies of preaching from Rev. J. T. Pressly, S. P. Preasly,
J. Loury, ana others. These labours vere so far blessed, at least, as
to keep the people united in a church capacity, and to direct the
fLttention of all to the necessity of employing all proper means to
secure a pastor.
But their prospects seemed to grow darker. The youth were
generally connected with other branches of the church ; death had
removed some of the most prayerful and active of their number;
John Murphy, to whom all looked a^ a leader, had fallen asleep, hav-
ing served the will of God. Yet God looked on the long desola-
tions, he heard their prayer and sent them a youthful pastor in
August, 1830, in the person of Ebenezer Erskine Pressly. At
this time a long expect^ object was accomplished, yet there were
many serious obstacles to be overcome. The congregation was
reduced in numbers. Twenty*five members constituted their whole
strength. There was no suitable house of worship, the salary
promised was small, and the pastor was youthful and inexperienced.
Yet, by the "good band of God upon them," the cause prospered,
A new and more comfortable house of worship was erected during
the first year of the new pastorship. Valuable members were ad-
ded to the church; and the session, which had been reduced to two
members, was increased at an early day by setting apart to the of-
fice of Ruling Elderi^ men of energy and sterling worth.
The new session was composed of eight men, mostly in the prime
of life. The following is the roll : — Robert Wallace, John Brown,
A. Haddon, James Lindsay, J. L. Simes, James Farr, John L. Ellis,
and Andrew C. Hauthorn. Under thi» new state of things, the
cause of God prospered; large accessions were received from time to
time. In the midst of this prosperous season reverses were expe-
rienced. The ravages of death soon removed the fathers, and emi-
gration, that desolating scourge of the churches in the south, began
to do its work. Of the session, Robert Wallace^ one of the old
men who had seen the country in its pristine beauty, and had been
ooncerned in the first organization of the church at Due West,
passed to his reward; John Brown, who had been specially active in
securing the administration of the ordinances, removed to a distant
portion of the church. But, as a portion were called away, others
were raised up who occupied their places. In 1838 or 18S4, the
paator was chosen to the office of Theological Professor, and for a

length of time devoted his energies in rearing up and training oan*
didates for the holy ministry. Rev's. Ralston, McDonald, Chal-
mers, and John N. Pressly, were the pupils first educated' for thel
ministry under this appointment. In 1835, the Associated Reformed
Synod of the South resolved to embark in the important enterprise
of setting up in her bounds a Literary and Theological Institution.
Due West was selected as the location of the contemplated semi-
nary. Many considerations led to this selection. The position
was central, the surrounding country was remarkably healthful,
and the community moral and enterprizing. The congregation,
unassisted, erected the first building for the Literary Institution, in
the midst of the native forest. In the exercise of a sound discrimi-
nation, a lot of seventy acres of land had been secured as the site
of the church in the early history of the congregation. This, by
their consent, was divided into lots of suitable size, and sold to such
persons as were disposed to identify themselves with the enterprise
of Synod. Hence the origin of the beautiful rural village of Due
West. About the year 1887, Synod resolved to give to her insti*
tution the character and advantages of a college. The literary insti-
tution, under the name of " Clark and Erskine Seminary,** had suc-
ceeded beyond the most sanguine expectations of its friends. The
college was put into operation, and the pastor of the congregation
was chosen the first President of Erskine College. As professor of
theology, president of the college, and pastor of the congregation,
he devoted all his energies to the fulfilment of the weighty re-
sponsibilities resting upon him. This state of things continued
until the year 1848, when, in consequence of the entire prostration
of his physical energies, he was released from the active duties
arising from his connection with the Institution of Synod. The
pastorship continues to this day. It will be seen by this, that the
pastor has participated largely in all the enterprises of the church,
and has been engaged in training a large proportion of its ministry.
The complicated engagements of the pastor, while they may have
increased his means of usefulness, and seemed to be demanded by
the wants of the church, have operated injuriously upon the inter-
ests of the congregation. It is obvious that it has not received the
amount of attention which its interest demanded. Yet it has al-
ways been advancing. If its numbers are not great, it is not be-
cause a sufficient increase annually has not been realized. In many
instances, as many as twenty-five, and thirty, and thirty-five have
been added in a single year. Yet by death and removals as great
a number, or greater, have left us.
It is worthy of remark that a larger share of attention has been
given, at Due West, to the religious improvement of the coloured
race, than in most of our congregations. Consequently, there is a
larger membership derived from that class than is usually found
among us.
The congregation has passed through many vicissitudes. In her
history there is light and shade. In a few years past, it experienced
a sad reverse in the death of one of her most active and devoted

elders, James Lindsay, Esq., who fell at his post in the midst of a
career of usefalness. He had exerted himself, with energy and ac-
tivity, in procuring the erection of the beautiful and spacious church
edifice in which the congregation now worship. He was permitted
to see it rise in its beautiful proportions ; in it he was permitted to
hear the proclamation of mercy to sinful men, and then he was
called to lay down his mortal remains under the shadow of that lofby
spire, the completion of which was among the last acts of his life.
Recently the session was enlarged by the addition of D. 0. Hau-
thorn, J. H. Haddon, and B. G. Sharp.
During the past eventful year the congregation have experienced
some of the manifestations of the presence and power of God's Holy
Spirit. Thirty individuals, mostly in the morning of life, have
connected themselves with the church. Of these several have al-
ready devoted themselves to the study of theology, preparatory to
entering the ministry.
It is worthy of remark that some of the most active and useful
ministers of the Associate Reformed Synod of the South have been
reared up within the pastoral charge of E. E. Pressly. Of these it
may be proper to record the names of D. F. Haddon, J. 0. Lindsay,
W. M. Sharp, and Neal M., and G. Gordon.

THE
CUMBERLAND PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
Thk Twknty-bighth Session op the Gbnbbal Assbmbly op
THE Cumbebland Pbbsbytbbian Chubgh was held at Huntsville,
Alabama, on Thursday, May 20th, 1858, and was opened with a dis-
course by the retiring Moderator.
2 Tim., iv. 2. Preach the word.
This was a part of the charge which Paul gave , to Timothy, a
little before he suffered martyrdom, and it is a part of the solemn
charge which was given to each minister present at the time of his
ordination. No one ever received it in a proper manner who
did not feel a peculiar solemnity at that time.
It is right that that solemnity be kept up in our minds, and there-
fore we should often recur to it.
On the present occasion I propose to offer some remarks : 1.
On a divine call to the work of the ministry. 2. The subject mat-
ter of preaching the word. 8. The manner of preaching.
1. The divine call to the work of the ministry. It is only ne-
cessary to turn your attention to the divine record to find ample
proof that God has reserved this right to himself. Paul in speak-
ings of Aaron's office, and no doubt he intended a reference to the
ministry, said, "No man taketh this honour unto himself, but he
that is called of Ood as was Aaron." God has had ministers of
his religion, ever since he made his promise to man. Whatever
services Adam, Abel, and Enoch performed were by divine appoint-
ment. Abraham, Moses, and all the Prophets were called of God.
The Saviour said to his disciples, "Ye have not chosen me, but
I have chosen you, and ordained you."
Paul was " called to be an Apostle." There has, moreover, al-
ways been a divine attestation accompanying those divinely author-
ized to minister in holy things. And the divine disapprobation
has almost as uniformly attended the ministry of those who have
presumed upon the authority of God. A number of instances iu
the scriptures might be cited in verification, such as Korah, Da-
than, and Abiram, and others.
If God called men under the Law, and at the introduction of the
Digitized by

Gospel, to the work of the ministry ; where is the authority that
that prerogative does not still exist? Is not Christ still the head
of the Church ? To whom has he delegated that authority ? There
are those who profess to have and claim it, but there is no divine
warrant for such claims. Jesus Christ personally called men to the
ministry, while on earth, and he directed his disciples to pray the
Lord of the harvest to send out more labourers. This Lord of the
harvest was, doubtless, the Holy Ghost, which he promised in the
event that he went away. He did go away, and the Holy Ghost
descended, and has been calling men, guiding and superintending
the affairs of the church to the present time, and will, until the
whole design of the plan of salvation shall be closed.
But whom does the Holy Spirit call to the work of the ministry ?
Not unregenerate men, — surely not. That would be inconsistent
in the very nature of things. How would it comport with reason
or propriety for our Government to appoint a man as ambassador
to a foreign court, and to intrust in his hands matters involving
the interest and honour of this country, knowing that the man ap-
pointed was an enemy, in heart to this confederacy ? So, the great
Head of the church calls only such as are truly converted or regen-
erated, — true men, — safe, loyal men ; men whose hearts and inter-
ests are identifiejd with his own* That some have had premonitions
in reference to the ministry, before their conversion, I doubt not ;
but that they were actually called before conversion — needs proof.
I doubt not that many would be in the fields who are not, and will
not, because they are unconverted. Nor does God call all converted
men to the work of the ministry ; nor are those called, called by
voices or dreams. But the Holy Spirit powerfully moves them to
the sacred work.
The glory of God, and the good of souls, constitute the motive ;
and such as are called, must and do feel the force of that impressive
injunction : " Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every
creature," and do, in some degree, appreciate what Paul meant when
he said : — "Wo is unto me if I preach not the gospel." These men,,
too, are truly sensible that a dispensation of the gospel is committed
to them.
Again : When a man is called to preach the word, if he. is not quali-
fied, he is equally called to qualify himself. God know3 the capacity
of the man, and never requires '^more than that man can perform.
He has so constructed the mind that, by its own eflforts, it may over-
come most of the difficulties that lie in the way ; and in his provi-
dence, he has furnished so many means of education, that none need
fail of the requjsite.qualifications for the sacred office.
Our fathers in the ministry laboured under serious disadvanta-
ges in this particular. In 1800 there were few good schools or
colleges in the Western country ; now, there are many. They had
no Theological School ; for this they had to substitute a circulating

town tliere is how isi good academy or a college. We have now
theological schools, and a young man has- no excuse for remaining
in ignorance. It would be a crying sin.
But literary and theological attainments are not only the prerequis-
ites ; he must be la man of prayer — fervent prayer. A prayerless
minister would be an anomaly. The minister's mind must be im-
bued with heavenly wisdom ; his conversation must be in heaven ;
he must live much upon h\s knees; he must be a man of self-denial.
The heathen prohibit their priests from going to theatres, and all
places of unsanctified amusement; they, too, prohibit the use of
wihes to their prie&ts, and total abstinence was enjoined upon them.
If these idolatoi*s were thus exact, how loudly is that purity, which
is above sdspicion, called for, from the ministers of the religion of
the Lord Jesus Christ I '
The success of a minister depends much upon his moral deport-
ment. He must not only be a man of prayer and self-denial, but
he must be a man of study. The Bible is his text-book. From
this fountain of knowledge he is to furnish himself, "unto every
good word and work," Other professional men are found in their
offices, arranging and preparing for those exigencies that may come
up in the course of their practice. They study as if all depended
upon it ; the afifairs of time alone depend on their study ; and will
the called minister of Jesus Christ be lax and indolent when his cause
relates to eternity f Surely not.
Having dwelt thus far on the call, and some of the qualifications
for the ministerial work, I proceed to notice,
2. The subject matter of preaching : Preach the Word. We
understand the apostle to mean, preach tfbe doctrines contained in
the word of God. It would be impossible to preach all the word
at any one time. Such is the infinite variety of the scriptures, that
thousands have been engaged in their exposition, for thousands of
years, and yet, after the deepest researches of the deepest men,
there remains an unfathomed depth, in which many of the truths
of our holy religion lie concealed. There they will perhaps re-
main, unless revealed by the interposition of providence, until the
soul ceases to " look through a glass darkly." There is not only
infinite variety, but there is an exhaustless fulness in the word of
God.
The first great truth to which our attention is drawn, is the exis-
tence of God. This is the foundation upon which the whole super-
structure rests. The revelation of this truth through the word,
would doubtless have been unnecessary, had no derangement taken
Elace in the moral world. Man — the creature — would have seen
is Creator in all the works of his hands. We have, in the mate-
rial universe, a manifestation of the natural perfections of the Deity ;
but not of his moral. At least, they are not sufficiently developed
for man's salvation; but in the word or law of God, those perfec-
tions are fullv set forth. This was added by reason of transgression.
We are wholly indebted to the word for information, in reference
to the fall of man. The heathen themselves have admitted that

there is a derangement, and their wisest philosophers acknowledged
their incompetence to solve the difHculty. Their ablest legislators
were not wise enough to devise such laws as would remedy the evil.
The simple and unvarnished story of the fall, and of redemption,
is related to us in the word, and to the truth and power of this storji
the lives of men have testified for near six thousand years.
The fall of man was total ; so the word informs us. " The whole
head is sick, and the whole heart is faint ; there is no soundness in
us." The fall was general. All have gone out of the way. There
is none that doeth good ; no, not one. It was a federal act ; by one
man's disobedience all were made sinners. All were involved in a
common calamity by the unfaithfulness of our first progenitor.
The scriptures affirm, " By the offence of one, judgment came upon
all men to condemnation." The experience and observation of men
confirm the truth of God's word.
But is there no remedy, — no balm in Gilead ? Is man doomed
eternally to ignorance and darkness ? No, there is a remedy. The
word informs us that, "God so loved the world that he gave his
only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not
perish, but have everlasting life." God sent not his Son into the
world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might
be saved. Again the scriptures affirm that, " He by the grace of
God tasted death for every man ;" and, that he is the propitiation
for our sins, and not for ours only, but for the sins of the whole
world. The word does not tell us why he loved the world, but
that he so loved the world — loved with that strength of affection
and pity, that induced him to give up the Son of his bosom, to
suffer for the redemption of the world.
The Lord Jesus Christ, by divine appointment, voluntarily un-
dertook the redemption of the world, and hence became the federal
head, and placed himself under the same law that man transgressed,
and was thus constituted the Second Adam — the Lord from Heaven.
The first Adam having failed, the Second stood the test. He kept the
law for man, and then suffered its penalty on the cross — became a
vicarious sacrifice, and thus redeemed man from immediate execu-
tion, procured for him a dispensation of mercy, and a day of pro-
bation. The death of Jesus Christ did not necessitate the salvation
of any, but made salvation possible for all. Founded on the atone-
ment are the operations of the Holy Spirit, for the word informs us
that Jesus said, "If I go not away, the Comforter or Holy Spirit
will not come, but if I go, I will send him, and he shall reprove
the world of sin, and of righteousness and of judgment." Jesus
did go away, and, according to his own promise, the Spirit came.
The first work, therefore, of the Spirit is, to reprove or convince.
Man's position is that of a moral, free agent, under the light and
influence of the word and Spirit, in the exercise of which agency
he may receive the benefits of the atonement, or he may reject them.
The word informs us that faith is the condition of salvation. " He
that believeth and is baptized, shall be saved, and he that believeth
not shall be damned." It must be so, if man is a moral, free agent,

215
and if he is not, I cannot ascertain the justice of his condemnation.
Bepentance is an exercise of an agent ; hence he is required to re-
pent, and repentance is made a condition of salvation. "Except
ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." So that in the gospel plan
repentance precedes saving faith, and faith unites the soul to Christ,
and being united to Christ, the believer is adopted into the heavenly
family and made a joint heir with Christ, to that inheritance pur-
chased with his blood. The relationship that the believer sustained
to Adam is dissolved ; he enters a new relationship. That relation-
ship is in Christ. Christ therefore says, "Because I live, ye shall
live also." How firm the basis on which the believer rests 1 Earth,
sin, and hell may rage, but all in vain ; the believer's life is "hid
with Christ in God." This new relationship contemplates a new
nature, or change of the moral man. The work is a thorough work.
In his moral nature man is now fit for heaven.
But the economy of grace contemplates more than the redemption
of the spirit. If this were all, the work would seem but partially
done. The resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ from the dead, se-
cures the certain resurrection of all his followers ; nay, of all man-
kind, as he was the representative of all. This mortal must put on
immortality; death will be swallowed up in victory; then shall be
brought to pass the saying: — "0 death 1 where is thy sting?
grave ! where is thy victory ?"
Then from the redeemed shall come up the response: — "Thanks
be to God, who giveth us the victory, through our Lord Jesus
Christ." The wicked will be also raised, but it will be to "shame
and everlasting contempt," and they will be constrained to acknow-
ledge the justice of that sentence which dooms them to eternal
misery.
Having spent the hour, the speaker declined the consideration of
the third general division of the subject.

The Committee on Bills and Overtures, Rev. R. BuRROW, Chair-
man, reported a Memorial from Kelly's Creek Congregation of
Tennessee Presbytery, asking a decision in relation to questions
involving Ecclesiastical law ; one also from the Talladega Presby-
tery of the Union Synod of the same nature, both of which we re-
commend you to hand over to the Judiciary Committee.
Also, a memorial from the Miami Presbytery, asking your opinion as to the con-
stitutionality of Ohio Synod, vhich met in Alexandria, Athens county, Ohio, Sept.
17th, 1858, and organized on the 19th of the same month. The facts in the case
are as follows : — I'he Synod was composed of three Presbyteries. From two of these
there were present six ministers, three from each, and from the third there was no
minister, and but one elder. We are of the opinion tha4; an elder is as truly and con-
stitutionally a member of Presbytery, Synod, and the General Assembly, as a minister,
when duly appointed by the Session ; forasmuch as the Church sessions are integral
parts and essential elements of the church, and all her judicatories, we therefore recom-
mend for your adoption the following resolution :
Resolved by the General Aisembly, That the Ohio Synod at named aboTe, was a
constitutional Synod, and her doings valid.
"We have considered the merits of a memorial from the West Tennessee Synod,
which memorial prays that you alter the form of government in relation to the con-
stitutional organization of Synods, by striking out section 2 of chapter 10, and insert-
ing the following :
*< The representation in Synods shall be the same as in Presbyteries, and subject to
the same regulations, and five ministers with as many elders as may be present, shall
be a quorum to transact synodical business ; provided, a majority of said members be of
no one presbytery. Svnods shall meet annually on their own adjournments, and if a
quorum fails to meet, the Moderator shall proceed according to the provisions made
and provided in such cases for the Presbyteries."

Yoar committee woald recommend that the prayer of the memorialists be granted,
and that yoa direct the revisioo to be sent to all the Presbyteries of the Cnmberland
PresbjteriaD Oharcb, for their approval in relation to it, and their wish to be retamed
in writing to the next Assembly.
The Judiciary Committee, Rev. Isaao Shook, Chairman, re-
ported :
On the Memorial of the Church session of Kelly's Ci-eek Congregation. The Me-
morialists complain of the Tennessee Presbytery not entertaining charges preferred
by said session against a member of said Presbytery at the fall session thereof, 1857.
The Memorialists refer to the Minutes of said Presbytery. We have examined said
Minutes, and find nothing claiming the attention of your reverend body, as there is no
violation of law. . The Presbytery very properly refused to entertain the charges on
the ground that there was no testimony, except hearsay. Your Committee therefore
pray to be discharged from any further consideration of the subject Adopted.
Also, on the following questions referred to them, submitted by Rev. Samuel Den-
nis : *' Has the Church Session the right to exscind the names of persons in certain
coses without a formal trial?" that there are no specified directions laid down in our
Book of Discipline on this subject, but in the f^rm of Government, ch. 8, sec. 2, it is
said *' the Church Session is competent to the spiritual government of the congrega-
tion." We think Church Sessions may exercise some discretionary power, but would
always be careful not to violate any principle of law.
They have examined the memorial from the Talladega Presbytei^ with the ac-
companying documents, and find the burden of the same contained in the following
questions, which the Presbytery propound, and desire your reverend body should
answer.
1. Q. When a minister, under censure by his Presbvtery, appeals to the Synod,
has the Synod the right to judge the man ; that is^to find him guilty, or not guilty, or
to judge of the proceedings and approve or condemn them, and if out of order remand
the case with instructions ?
A. Your committee would answer, that any judicature to which an appeal has been
taken, has a right to examine the whole proceedings with the testimony, and if they
find it according to order, affirm the decision of the court below ; and if not according
to order, to remand it with instructions.
2. Q. If a Presbvtery feels aggrieved by the action of a Synod, and is deprived
of the right of appeal, in what way ought it to seek redress ?
jL By an appeal to the General Assembly.
3. Q. How ought a minister, suspended fW>m the functions of his office, to be
treated by his Presbytery ?
A, With kindness— endeavouring to bring him to repentance.
4. Q. If the Synod has a right to acquit a minister of charges preferred by a
Presbytery, can it then find him guilty of offences not charged by any Presbytery ?
A, If, in the progress of the examination the Synod finds evidence of guilt, not
contained in any of the charges, they should instruct the Presbytery to take up and
try bim on these points, if deemed of sufficient importance to demand the censure of
the church.
5. Q. Is dealing in lottery stock or tickets gaming 7 and if so, is it honest ?
A. It is taking a risk for money, and as such is a species of gaming that is sinful,
and ought to be discountenanced by every church court and Christian.

The Committee on the State of Religion, Rev. Milton Bird,
Chairman, reported :
We are pleased to record the fact that the last ecclesiastical year has been charao-

terized by glorious and powerful reviTals of religion in the different parts of the
Church with some few exceptions. In the eeveral Synods there have been many con-
versions and accessions to the Church. Kew and happy converts have crowded the
gates of Zion, and enlisted io the army of Christ. May the pra;^ers and efforts of our
Church for the onward movement of his cause never cease. It is time for the whole
Church to awake to a consciousness of a higher life, and a stronger faith ; and to seek
the blessings of God anew with entire consecration to bis service.
Revivals of religion renew the life and strength of the Church, and prevent it be-
coming like the sapless body of a decaying tree.
It is with feelings of no ordinary interest that we have viewed the rise and progress
of the great and powerful religious awakening in the large cities of our countrjr, and
in many villages and country places. We trust the effect will be to restram the
strong tendencies of the age to formalism, irreligion, infidelity, and licentiousness.
We regard the extraordinary religious movement with hope not unmingled with fear.
We take it to be genuine because of the unity and co-operation which it produces
among evangelical denominations, and its happy effect in reclaiming the backslidden,
and in reforming the wicked ; though we fear that, when the time of reaction will
have come, the Church may be found filled with a larger number of unconverted
professors, and an increased amount of the form without the power of godliness.
All should be taught the absolute necessity of watching over each other in love,
helping each other by every possible means, so that if any become discouraged, they
may feel, by the kind solicitude evinced for them by their brethren, inspirited to press
on m the path of duty.
We are gratified to see the Church endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit io
the bonds of peace. All Christians are brethren, children of the same Father, mem-
bers of the same family, heirs of the same inheritance, travellers to the same heavenly
home ; they need the same succours, and are liable to the same affections. They have,
therefore, claims one upon another. The law of kindness should influence all their
feelings and actions towards each other. Brotherly kindness is the bond of perfect-
nees.
We recommend that increased attention be given to personal religion ; also to fa-
mily worship and the religious instruction of children and servants. Each congrega-
tion should nave its social prayer-meeting, observe the monthly concert, and maintain
its Sabbath school, and spare no pains to secure the regular administration of the
word and ordinances.
Since it is very evident that it is the Devil's policy at present, all the world over,
to abolish the day of rest, we therefore recommend our ministers and people to use all
suitable means to maintain the sanctity of the holy Sabbath.
Let us abound in the use of the appropriate means to promote the cause of spiritual
religion, to provide a pious, well-trained, and consecrated ministry, a devoted, warm-
hearted membership ; and that God who blessed our fathers, will continue to bless us,
and lead us forward in the fulfilment of the mission of our existence, as a branch of
the household of faith. And to this end may '* grace and peace be multiplied unto
you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus, our Lord, according as his divine
power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the
Knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory and to virtue.''

Owing to this we cannot give a correct and full report. It is not possible to do it

There are in the Faculty of this Institution eleven members, all of whom are ooo-

still being prosecuted with encouraging success. That fund now, exdusire of the
Theological department, amounts to about 960,000. For the Theological School
they have, exclusive of the Ewing bequest, $28,000. The property of thb Institution,
consisting of ground and building, is estimated to be worth 935,000. The library,
cabinets, and apparatus, $15,000.
The present prosperity of the University is unequalled by any period of its former
history.
They also report with heartfelt gratification, the fact, that during the paat winter
in that institution, they enjoyed a glorious revival of religion, in which ninety-five of
the students were, as we humbly trust, trul^ converted to God.
Bethel College, McLemoresville, 1'enn., is in a prosperous condition. Five teach-

The Committee on Missions, Rev. Bighabd Beabd, Chairman,
reported:
The missionary work is the great work of the age. It is in the highest sense an
expression of that enlarged benevolence required in both the law and gospel. The
requisition of the law is, love to our neighbour as to ouradves. This requisition is
fulfilled by the exercise of a universal benevolence towards man, " who is my neigh-
bour," in the sense of the law is easily ascertained. My neighbour is my fellow-man ;
my fellow-man in America, in Europe, in Africa, in Asia, in the Islands of the S^,
VRj fellow-man wherever he may be found.
The Cumberland Presbyterian Church ought to consider itself a missionary church.
It originated upon missionary ground, and was built up in it8 early state chiefiy hj
missionary labour. We are glad to know that it appreciates its obligations in this
respect ; at least to some extent, it is engaged in the missionary work.
Our domestic misBions, according to the report of the Board already presented to
the Assembly, are all of them in a hopeful condition, and some of them in a prosper-
ous condition. Missionary labours which have been performed among the Indians
have been very successful. Certainly a membership of six hundred among the Chicka-
saws and Choctaws is an illustration of the faithfulness of the men who have laboured
among them.
Your Committee would urge upon the Assembly, and through you upon the
chnrohes, the necessity of inorefued liberality in promoting the missionary cause. We
are doing something, but not a tithe of what we ought to do. We are not our own,
mnoh less is oar property oan. We belong to God. Our property belongs to God.

Oar missionary collections ongbt to amount to sixty thonsand dollars, instead of six
thousand dollars per year. Will we not briag them up to this sum in the course of
the miffiionai^ year now conmiencing?
In conclusion, your committee recommend the adoption of .the following resolutions:
Resolved, That it be urged upon all the congregations within the care of the Gene-
ral Assembly, to observe the monthly concert for payer^ for the success of the cause
of missions, and that missionary collections be taken up on these occasions for the
support of our missions.
Resolved, That it be recommended to the pastors and stated supplies of all congre-
gations, to preach at least one missionary sermon to his congregation in the course
of the year, and to lift a public collection for missionary purposes.
Resolved, That in order to concert of action on this subject, the Sabbath succeed-
ing the fourth day of February, 1859, the anniversary of the origin of our church, or
as soon thereafter as convenient, be recommended as the day for the missionary sermon.
Resolved, That it be recommended to members of our congregations who may feel dis-
posed to liberate their servants and send them to Liberia, to direct their attention espe-
cially to Cape Mount, where such manumitted servants may collect together, establish a
Christian society, and contribute to the prosperity of the mission established there.
The Ciommittee on Publication, Rev. R. Beard, Chairmnn, re-
ported as follows :
The necessity of a supply of cheap denominational works seems to be acknowledged
by all. It is a want, too, which must be deeply felt. The people do not read many
nor large books. A cheap practical literature is better suited to their circumstances.
If we t^Iieve the doctrine of our own Church to be true, we ought to furnish our people
with such works as will contain plain and scriptural expositions of those doctrines.
We would therefore recommend that the General Assembly shall appoint a com
mittee of three, who shall be styled the Committee of Publication. The members of
this committee shall be located contiguous to each other, so that they can co-operate
without difficulty or embarrassment.
The present Board of Publication shall be reouired to wind up their business, and,
hand over all the proceeds to the Committee of Publication, or their agent.
The committee shall be recfuired to report annually and fully to the General Assembly.
The committee shall not mvolve themselves in debt, or extend their business be-
yond the reasonable and practicable means under their control.
The Assembly shall appoint seven commissioners who shall be authorized to receive
propositions from various points with a view to the estabiishmentof a general book de-
pository and store, and ultimately, if the prospects should justify, a house of publication.
Resolved, That the thanks of this General Assembly be tendered to the citizens
of Huntsville and vicinity, who have extended their kind and cordial hespitality to
its members ; also to the officers of the Methodist Church for the use of their
Church in holding the meetings of this General Assembly; and to the Moderator for
the prompt, faithful and impartial discharge of the duties of the chair.
The Moderator, by virtne of the authority delegated to him, dis-
solved the General Assembly, and required that another Assembly,
chosen in the same manner, should meet at Evansville, Indiana, on
the third Thursday in May, 1859, at 11 o'clock, A. M.
Concluded mth prayer, and the Apostolic benediction.

L The description which it gives of the True Cbarcb. By the
expression, the true churchy we do not mean any particular branch
of the church visible^ — not even that which we may regard as the
purest and most scriptural in its constitution, but all persons in
every place, of every age, and of every name, who hold the truth
of God, observe his ordinances, and keep his commandments^
The true church is here presented under a two-fold aspect, — that
of the character of its constituent members, and that of the position
which they occupy.
1. Those who compose the true church are described as " the
righteous nation that keepeth the truth.** Such were originally
sinners like all others ; but in the gracious providence of God they
have been made aware of their dangerous condition, acquainted
with the way of salvation, justified through the righteousness of
Christ, and brought to peace with God. They are also sanctified
through the truth. And though never perfect in this life, are yet
ever advancing in the righteous ways of the Lord, and in the di*
rection of the word, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
The members of the true church stand in a peculiar and closd
relation to one another, and to the Bedeemer. They are a nationj
a people gathered out of all nations, and not reckoned among the
nations of this world, yet " the people of the saints of the Most
High,*' to whom is promised the dominion. Dan. vit. 27* A "right-
eous,** a "holy nation, a peculiar people;'* aspiritual organization in
the world, yet not of it, united by a feeling of love to one another,
and of loyalty to Christ ; constituted in his name, incorporated by
the charter of the everlasting covenant, having interests and priv*

ileges in common, and governed by the same righteous and heaven -
devised laws.
And they are incorporated for high and holy ends. The church
is intended to testify for, and maintain "the truth." Not only is
every portion of divine truth precious to the people of God, person-
ally, and so they " walk in it/' 8 John 4 ; and not only do they
recognize the truth as it is in Jesus to be the sole foundation of a
sinner's hope, and the only directory of a believer's life; but in their
public capacity, they regard themselves as its guardians and custo-
diers. And as it is one of the principal tests of a true church that
it holds fast "the truth," Rom. iii. 2, so the faithful people of
God have ever been characterized by a jealous defence of the in-
tegrity of the written word, and an uncompromising testimony to
all that it contains.
2. The position occupied by those who compose this true church
is described as a "strong city," — strong not from natural situation,
like Jerusalem, surrounded by the mountains; nor from artifi-
cial fortification like ancient Babylon with her proud walls; but
strong in the favour and protection of her king. Prov. xviii. 10.
Zech. ii. 6. Eph. ii. 10.
The church of Christ in the world resembles a beleaguered fort-
ress. She is surrounded by enemies. But though portions of the
visible church may be undermined and pass away, as most of the
seven churches of Asia have disappeared ; or though the entire
outward institute called the Church may have her defence withdrawn
from her for a time, like Jerusalem in the day of her unfaithful-
ness, Sam. iv. 7 ; yet the church in its true sense is indestructi-
ble. Ps. xlvi. 5. Isa. liv. 17. Matt. xvi. 18.
And the inhabitants of Zion are all safe. Though not yet in
heaven, they are already saved : they are within the pale of the
church, which is the object of the Saviour's jealous care ; they com-
pose the number of his elect; all sin is forgiven them; their in-
ward corruption has received its death-blow ; the powers of dark-
ness are under the restraint of the Captain of their salvation ; holy
angels form their guard ; and every attribute of the divine nature is
enlisted in their behalf.
The battlements of Zion, therefore, re-echo with this song of joy
and praise : " We have a strong city, salvation," — not something
to protect or save, but salvation itself, — " will God appoint for walls
and bulwarks?" And thus may we triumph in the position,
which, as a branch of the trne church we occupy. While we
** glory only in the Lord," Jer. ix. 23, 24, we cannot too highly
appreciate the privileges which he has secured for his people. And
though we are not in any narrow, bigoted, or papistical sense to
make churchy church our watchword, yet we may not think lightly
of the honour which belongs to the true church as " the spouse
of Christ Her name as well as his shall be " the Lord our right-
eousness." Jer. xxiiL 6. and xxxiii. 16. "Glorious things," also,
" are spoken of thee, O city of God." And God will yet " make
Jerusalem a praise in the earth." Neither are we to underrate the

confldence which may be reposed in her stability, for she is des-
tined to continae throughout all time, and to outlive all changes, —
even the wreck of the world itself. Aud again, though we ought not
with sectarian pride to chant our denominational titles, or seek
exclusively to promote our sectional interests ; yet we dare not
forego the special testimony which we are honoured to bear to the
headship of the Lord Jesus Christ, — not as regarding that branch
of the church to which we belong the best, because we belong to it;
but as adhering to it, because we intelligently believe it to be the
most scriptural in its constitution and standards.
II. The direction given to those who are entrusted with the in-
terests of the church, viz : — " Open ye the gates," &c.
1. As Teachers and Ministers of the word, we are admonished to
oflFer every facility to "the righteous nation," — that is, to perishing
sinners, called righteous^ by way of anticipation, by Him who fore-
sees what those who believe shall be made to become, — to enter
into **the strong city." The gate, though narrow in respect of
man's unbelief, is wide in respect of God's offer. And we should
guard against the judgment pronounced upon the scribes of old,
Matt, xviii. 18, and aim at removing every obstacle which ignor-
ance, prejudice, or unbelief may have thrown in the way of a cor-
dial acceptance of the gospel invitation. It has indeed been a
common objection againdt preachers of the word, who give promi-
nence to the doctrines which are usually styled Calvinistic, that
they limit the grace of God. Now, while we are prepared to main-
tain that the doctrines referred to by no means have the effect al-
leged; and that whatever be the consequence, we are not at liberty
to throw down the walls in order to widen the gates, — let us be
careful practically to leave no colour for this false imputation, and
proclaim freely, as the scriptures teach, the doctrines of reconcilia-
tion to a rebellious world.
2. As Rulers, we are jealously to guard the entrance into the
visible church, so that, if possible, unworthy persons may not gain
admission. The gate is to be set open with the restricted inten-
tion that "the righteous nation" and none else "may enter in."
And though it belongs not to man to judge the heart, and unworthy
parties will creep into the church, yet we may not admit any who
do not make a credible profession of faith in Christ ; and we are to
use all diligence and faithfulness to make entrance into the visible
church, as nearly as practicable, commensurate with that into the
true.
In regard to Christian fellowship — ^so far as free communion is
understood to imply indiscriminate admission of all who choose to
sealing ordinances, the idea is too gross to be for a moment enter-
tained. But so far as it supposes fellowship at the Lord's table,
among Christians of different denominations; if it be not held as
a claim which one branch of the church may reasonably make upon
another without conforming to the rules of that other, but held as
an expression of Christian charity to be extended with the same
caution as in the reception of communicants from one congregation

THB PItSSBYTSRIAN CHURCH OF CANADA.
iDto another of the ^ame body, it may be observed io aooordao^
with good order and goveroment. And we believe that it is thus
occasionally practised among us, and roost evangelical churches.
And in connection with ecclesiastical government, it may be
remarked that discipline is to be exercised, not only in dealing with
individuals, but sometimes also with church members collectively,
notwithstanding that, as in other matters, the innocent may partially
suffer with the guilty. Congregations or sections of congregations,
setting order and justice at defiance in a refractory or contumacious
manner, should be visited with the censure of the church, so far as it
can be brought to bear upop them ; and that, irrespectively of pos-
sible consequences. And a temporary suspension of privileges
would not only be, io such a case, perfectly consistent with
principle, but might be expected, if inflicted in the name of the
great Head of the church, to operate in the most salutary way.
III. The blessedness of those who are brought within the pale
of the true church. " Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose
mind is stayed in thee," &c. The fundamental blessing belonging
to the people of God is, that they are safe. There is, however, a
further privilege provided for them, viz : the happiness of know-
ing that they are safe. And it is the combination of these two
elements, safety and consciousness of being safe, which is implied
in the expression before us; as it is the union of safety and happi-
ness which constitutes what is conveyed by the rich scriptural
term, blessedness.
There is a true peace, and there is 9k false peaoe. True peace le
the offspring of faith in God, and none are entitled to be at
peace except those who trust in him. The believer, while sur*
rounded with outward troubles, may enjoy much inward peace.
John xiv. 1. and xvi. 83. Apart from a natural stayedness of
mind, and the comfort which it imparts, there is a peculiar sincerity
which distinguishes him, and is fitted to uphold him in all circum-
stances of trial and of suffering ; not that his peace, any more than
other graces pertaining to him, is in the present state ever abso-
lutely perfect, or always uninterrupted, but that so far as he trusts
in God, his peace remains and abounds.
And the Lord ''will keep his people in peace." He, "the God
of peace," has ordained peace for them. v. 12. God the Son, "the
Prince of peace," bequeathed it as a legacy to his followers. John
xiv. 27. And God the Holy Ghost, " the Comforter," is promised
as the Dispenser of this blessing. John xvi. 1, 7. But he who or-
dains the endy ordains also the means: he does pot give peaco
without faith, Rom. v. i, nor continue it except along with the
exercise of the same grace with which it was originally communi-
cated. And faith can be preserved alive, only by the blessing of
God upon the unremitting use of appointed means. It is thuH
that the believer enjoys a "peace which passeth all understanding,"
Ac. Phil. iv. 6, 7.

not of Ohrist The qaestion then for each and all is, whether they be
in the enjoyment of that peace which rests on a sure foundation,
and is so freely offered in Christ And those who intelligently
feel that they are at peace with God on spiritual grounds, are war-
ranted and required to adopt this song of grateful praise : — " We
have a strong city," &c.
2. A word of encouragement to the Fathers and Brethren in the
ministry. We need encouragement as well as others,-*encourage-
ment personally as weak, sinful creatures, and officially as the ser*
vants of the Lord, laid under a mighty charge and responsibility*
The text holds out the prospect of this glorious song being raised
by the redeemed of Ood in every land. Let this animate our faith,
and stimulate us to renewed faithfulness and diligence in preaching
'* the glorious gospel of the blessed God," as also in administering
the government of his church. And let it excite us to earnest
prayer for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, that the time mav
soon come when it shall be sung throughout the length and breadth
of our adopted country, — when the melody of spiritual joy and
health shall ascend from all its families, — when in our assemblies
those of every name who love the Lord Jesus Christ, shall be found
blending their voices in holy harmony, — when the watchmen on the
walls of Zion shall ^Mift up the voice, and with the voice together
shall sing," — and when this holy rejoicing of a regenerate world
shall usher in the everlasting hallelujahs of heaven. Amen.

The Committee on Bills and Overtures, Rev. George SusLLiBy
Chairman, reported
An Overture from the Pres. of Montreal, on the relation of baptized children to the
church, and the best mode of recognizing that connection.
On motion, a committee was appointed to take into consideration
the whole subject and report. — Rev. D. Fraser, chairman of com-
mittee.
An Overture from the Pres. of Brockville and Ottawa, for a division of said Pres-
bytery. The Synod granted the request, and ordered the Presbytery of Brockville
to meet in Brockville, on the last Tuesday in July, at 7^, P. M., and the Presbytery
of Ottawa on the first Tuesday of August at 7}, P. M.
An Overture from several members of Synod of the subject of ordination of minis-
ters from foreign churches.
Whereas, The Pi'esbyterian Church of Ireland does invariably ordain probatt^nei^
coming from that body to this church; and whereas, the circumstances of these
Provinces are not such as to call for such procedure : It is hereby respectfully over-
tured to Synod that a communication be addressed to that sister Church, directing at-
tention to the practice complained of, and earnestly recommending its discontinuance ;
A Committee was appointed to carry out the recommendation.
An Overture from the Presbytery of London, on the subject of worldly amusements.
The Synod would affectionately and earnestly call the attention of the members of
the Church to the necessity of avoiding the appearance of evil, in the way of con-
formity to the customs of an ungodly world ; and the Synod further direct the atten-
tion of Sessions to the great importance of acting with caution, affection, and faith-
fulness, in dealing with any who may seem to conduct themselves inconsistently in the
matter referred to.
Several Overtures were presented which were sent down to the
Presbyteries.

The Committee, Bev. Wm. GRBa«>, Chairman, reported.
After discussion, the following deliverance was agreed to, viz:
*' That the Report be received and sostained, and in view of the paramount impor-
tance of the Theological Seminary to the welfare of oar church and country, aaopt
its recommendation for the appointment of a day of special prayer on its behalf ; and
farther, that the thanks of the Synod be tendered to the Bey. Dr. Burns and the
Rev. D. Fraser, for their energetic and successful efforts in Great Britain and Ireland,
on behalf of the College Building Fund, and to the Colonial Committees of the Pi-es-
byterian Church of Ireland, and of the Free Church of Scotland, as well as to ChriA-
tian friends in these countries, and in England, for their liberal donations to this
institution. The Synod also would express their thanks to the Qovernor and members
of the Committee for their diligence, and regret to find that the income of the College
has not yet met the necessary expenditure, and again urge upon Presbyteries and
office-t)earers of the Church the necessity of increased contributions, and remit to the
College Committee to be appointed the consideration of any special measures that
may be required to liquidate the present arrears on the ordinary College Fund. The
Synod further appoint the first Sabbath of November as a day of special prayer
throughout the Church in behalf of the College."

The Committee on the State of Religion, J. Scott, Chairman, re-
ported:
The report now presented is not strictly on the state of religion, but rather on
the means employed throughout Uie Church for maintaining and promoting it The
effect of these means hasauo been inquired after, but, in oitlinary circumstanoesi this
is a subject which cannot be very definitely presented.
For the jDurpose of obtaining the information necessary for forming the report,
certain queries were sent to the corresponding members of the several Presbyteries,
to which they were requested to furnish replies. These replies were returned from
all the Presbyteries with the exception of one, and such is the information which we
have gathered respecting the state of religion, and the means being employed through-
out the Church for maintaining and promoting it. This statement shows that there
is much activity and diligence in the use of means, and in many instances happy re-
sults attendinff the use of these means, for which the Synod has reason to be thankful
to God, but shows also that, specially in some departments, there is great need for im-
provements. Your Committee would, therefore, oooclude by respectfully submitting
the following suggestions :

THE PRBSBTTSBLL9 CBXTBOR OF OAKADA.
1. That the Sjnod again call the special attention of Presbjrteries to the import-
ance of exercising a proper sopenrision over the congregation within their boanos by
regular Presbyterial visitations, held at sach interval as maj seem to them best
2. That ministers be reoomroeoded to carry oat, as far as possible, the practice of
catechising, not only the children of Sabbath-schools, and the pupils of !^ible clas-
ses, but tl^ grown youth in ^neral, who are connected witli the Church, and that
Sessions be enjoined to use diligence for .securing the general practice of pareatal cate-
chizing.
3. That in connection with the Presbyterial conference on the state of religion^
there might also be a conference on the subject of preaohinff, or the best meth(3 of
presenting the truth of the gospel, in order to its taking hold, by the grace of God,
of the conscience and hearts of the hearers.
The Committee on Statistics, Bev. J. Lainq, Chairman, reported:
Tour Committee feel no little measure of embarrassment. They are sensible that
the Reports will not be found as interesting, as those which have been, from time to
time, submitted by the former Convener. 'Fhey have, however, endeavoured to accom-
plish the work eatrusted to them as well as time would permit, and the reports given
into their hands enabled them.

Thb city of Hamilton, G. W., is a place of considerable trade and
importance ; is beautifully situated on the south western extremity
of Burlington Bay, Lake Ontario. It was originally laid out in
1813, but its progress up till 1840 — when its population scarcely
amounted to 8000 — was slow. In 1850 its population had in-
creased to about 10,000, and progressing during the last eieht years
with greatly increased rapidity, it is now estimated that the num-
ber of souls is nearly 80,000.
At a very early period in the history of Hamilton, an American
Presbyterian Church was organized, and a place of worship erected
on John Street. For some years this organization has ceased to
exist, and about a year and a half ago the building was sold, the
proceeds being generously donated by the trustees, to the building
fund of the McNab Street Church.
The first Presbyterian minister ever settled in Hamilton was
the Rev. Mr. Marsh, pastor of the American Presbyterian Church.
He demitted his charge in 1885, and was succeeded by the Bev.
Mr. Furman, who remained pastor until 1888.
In the autumn of 1838, the Bev. Alexander Gale removed to
Hamilton, at the invitation of seven persons, two of whom were
Episcopalians. The services were at first held in a private room,
the little congregation sitting around the table. Towards the close
of the same year Mr. Oale was inducted pastor, by the Presbytery
of Toronto, in connection with the Church of Scotland. In 1835
a small frame church capable of accommodating about 200 persons,
was erected, and called St Andrew's Church. It was thrice en-
larged, until it held upwards of 500.
In consequence of the Free Church movement in Scotland^ the
church in Canada was divided in 1844. Mr. Gale at that time severed
his connection with the Church of Scotland, as by law established, and
was one of the twenty-three ministers who founded the Presbyterian
Church of Canada, a body which now numbers 130 settled pastors.
Nearly the whole of the congregation of St. Andrew's Church ad-
hered to their pastor ; but the few who still adhered to the estab-
lished church, having threatened them with legal proceedings, they
at onee vacated their place of worship, and having securra a fa-
vourable site, took immediate steps for the erection of a new
church. The congregation remaining in St Andrew's Church were
for a considerable time without any settled minister, but at length
the Bev. Alexander McKidd was settled over them, and he after a
short pastorate having demitted bis charge, was succeeded by the
Bev. D. McKnee, who also resigned, and was succeeded bv the Bev.
Bobert Burnet, the present efficient pastor. In 1855 the church
which they at present occupy was erected by this congregation
upon the site of old St Andrew's. It will accommodate a^ut 1000

persons, and is considered to be one of the most handsome gothio
churches in the province. The old frame church having been re-
moved to a new site, is occasionally occupied by a German congre-
gation. " This congregation have lately commenced the formation
of a new station in a hitherto destitute locality, the extreme eastern
portion of the city, and through the great exertions of their excellent
pastor, a neat roughcast church has been erected, called St. John's
Church. The new congregation is already in such a forward state
that they purpose obtaining a minister of their own, at an early elated
We now go back for some years to trace tile history of another
congregation, viz : that in connection with the United Presbyterian
Church in Scotland. In 1886 a station was formed in Hamilton,
in connection with this denomination, then called the United Se-
cession Church, and was visited at stated intervals by the Bev.
Thomas Christie of Flamborough, and others, till 1841, when a con-
gregation was organized, and a small stone church built. In 1847,
the Eev. J. E. Dalrymple was inducted pastor. He resigned in
1850, and was succeeded by the Eev. John Hogg. Mr. Hogg de-
mitted his charge in 1855, and in 1867 was succeeded by the present
very popular pastor, the Eev. Wm. Ormiston, under whose minis-
try the congregation has so much increased, that although the
original building had been considerably enlarged during the time
of Mr. Hogg's ministry, it was found altogether too small, and the
congregation, shortly after Mr. Ormiston's settlement amongst them,
commenced the erection of a very commodious and beautiful struc-
ture, which they at present occupy. It was opened for public worship
in the early part of last winter, is built of white pressed brick, 114
feet in length, by 68 feet in breadth, and will accommodate nearly
1500 persons ; for this beautiful building the congregation are princi-
pally indebted to the liberality of a tried friend of Presbyterian ism
in Hamilton, and valued elder of the body, Calvin McQuestin, Esq.
After this brief notice of the other Presbyterian Churches, we
return to the congregation in connection with the Presbyterian
Church of Canada. Mr. Gale and his people worshipped for some
Sabbaths in the Secession Church, and aflierwards for about a year
and a half, in the Wesleyan Methodist Church, John Street, while
their own church was in process of erection. In 1846, the new
church on James' Street, called Knox's Church, was opened for
public worship. It is a neat and very comfortable building, built
of stone, and was seated in the first instance to contain about 600
persons, but it has been twice enlarged, first in 1850, and again in
1855, and now holds about 1200.
In 1847 Mr. Gale, having been called to the professorship of clas-
sical literature in Knox's College, removed to Toronto, and was
succeeded in the ministry of this congregation by the Eev. Salph
Eobb, who after a brief pastorate of three years was removed by
death, in the month of July, 1850. The Eev. George Paxton Young
was inducted as his successor in November of the same year. Mr.
Young was called to the professorship of logic and moral philosophv
in Knox's College, and removed to Toronto in the autumn of lo5o,

and in May 1854 the Rev. Robert Irvine, D. B., was inducted, and
remains pastor of Knox^s Church.
This has brought us to the brief history of the McNab Street
Church. For some time before Mr. Young's removal, Knox's
Church was overcrowded, and the necessity for church extension
was deeply felt. Daring the vacancy, it was agreed upon at a meet*
ing of the congregation, to purchase a site for a new church, but
that there should be no division of the congregation until after the
settlement of another minister in Knox's Church. Agreeably to
this arrangement, soon after the induction of the present pastor, the
Presbytery of Hamilton, in compliance with a memorial from three
of the elders of Knox's Church, appointed a committee to open a
new preaching station in the city. Divine service was accordingly
held in the Hall of the Mechanics' Institute, and about forty persona
were organized into a congregation in August 1854. The little
congregation went energetically to work, and towards the close of
the same year a new and commodious house of worship, holding
upwards of 400 persons, was opened for their reception ; only six
weeks having been occupied in the erection. In the month of May,
1855, the Rev. David Inglis was inducted as their first pastor.
The names of the Trustees who disposed of the old American
Presbyterian Church property, and handed the proceeds to the
building fund of the McNab Street Presbyterian Church, are as
follows: — J. P. Dickerman, Calvin McQuestin, James Osborne, Esq's.
The names of the Elders who left Knox's Church, and com-
menced the formation of the McNab Street Presbyterian Church,
are Adam Cook, Robert Ewen, and Donald McLellan.
The present office bearers of the McNab Street Presbyterian
Church are J. Boyd, J. Brown, A. Cook, R. Hopkins, Plummer Dewar,
Robert Ewen, A* J. McKenzie, Donald McLellan, Maitland
Young, Sr., elders. James Buntin, Wm. Chisholm, J. M. Dingwall,
William Mowat, George McKay, A. Skinner, Angus Sutherland,
Maitland Young, Jr., deacons.
The membership of the McNab Street Presbyterian Church at
Mr. Inglis's settlement. May, 1855, amounted to forty-six. Num-
ber joined since, 312. Number removed by death and certificate,
fifby-five. Present number of members, 803. It was soon found
necessary to enlarge the church accommodation, and in April, 1866,
the foundation stone of the present spacious house of worship was
laid. It was opened in Juno of the following year, 1857.
The building of which the accompanying engraving is a sketch,
is massive in its structure, and occupies a commanding site. It is
built in the gothic style of architecture, of the beautiful stone obtained
from the mountain, immediately in rear of the city. Its dimensions
are 114 feet in length, including the tower, by sixty-six feet in breadth,
and with the galleries will comfortably seat about 1300 persons.

THE SYNOD OP THE
UNITED PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN CANADA.
The twenty-second session of the United Presbyterian Church
in Canada, was held in the Presbyterian Church of Hamilton, Canada,
on Tuesday, June 1st, 1858, and was opened with a discourse by
the retiring Moderator.
John xvii. 20, 21. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall
oelieve in me through their word ; that they all may be one, as thoa Father art in
mei &c.
Unity pervades all things, whether regarded as connected with
the world of matter or mind. God, "in the fulness of time, gathers
together in one, all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and
which are on earth, even in him."
At present, however, we have to do with the unity of the church
only, and the number of scripture passages connected with and bear-
ing upon this subject is truly astonishing. It is foretold and com-
manded : the pattern of it is presented ; actual instances are given ;
it is beautifully illustrated, and a goodly portion of our Saviour's
intercessory prayer is occupied with it, while dissension and divis-
ive courses are strongly condemned.
Nor is this wonderful, for various reasons ; and it is not difficult
to see that union among evangelical Christians is probably the
great desideratum of the present day. Let us then consider the
nature, necessity^ and means of the union recommended.
I. The nature of the union recommended. It is evidently not
one of mere external formal character. A family or a neighbour-
hood, outwardly only, may be really full of division and heart-
burnings ; and we know the state of the one Church of Corinth,
"One said, I am of Paul, &c."
The union enjoined must be spiritual. Christians, as our Saviour
prays, must be "one in us." This leaves true independence of mind,
and permits corresponding discrepancies, as may be seen in the life
of Christ, given by the four Evangelists. But all enmity, malice,
and selfishness are excluded, while candour, forbearance, and charity
must certainly appear. Add to this, oneness of/orm, and the unity
is complete.
II. The necessity of such a union.
Being commanded, it is proper, nay, necessary at all times; but
we conceive it to be especially so at the present time.
1. To stem the rising tide of Popery and Puseyism, which are
probably making more strenuous and systematic exertions than at

any former period. They are thoroughly drilled, obey one im-
pulse, discover the secrets of families through the confessional, and
seek to enslave by destroying our system of national education.
Now, under God, the antidote to this is union among them that
love our Lord Jesus Christ, so will a close united phalanx be pre-
sented, and the greatness of truth then embodied must soon lead
to victory in the overthrow of these human systems and the salva-
tion of souls.
2. To meet, advantageously, that religious indifference, if not posi-
tive infidelity, which prevails among us to an alarming extent,
especially among the young. Our mixed population, and diversity
of creeds, and party spirit tend to confound young men who have
not a good example and Christian training at home, and come
among us; and it is difficult for the Christian to reach these and
such like cases. Our mutual division, and want of brotherly love
are speedily mentioned, in reply to any advice we may tender. We
say to them, " Choose for yourselves ;" they answer: — "It is not easy
to choose among so many. Besides, what benefit would be got from
such a choice, for you all are about equally jealous of and bitter
towards each other?"
8. To enable the church to carry on, with more energy and suc-
cess, the care of missions.
There are many places at home, where Presbyterians can get no
ministerial supply, because we are all employed in mere frontier
positions, keeping up sickly societies, that look to the thought-
less as if they were not columns of the same great Christian army,
but hostile squadrons.
Besides, our divisions cripple our exertions in the foreign field.
To maintain the sectional position at home, needs both the men and
the means that might have been employed successfully abroad.
And to make the divisions more unjustifiable, it is doubtful whether
there ever were a wider foreign door, or a more earnest cry, " Come
over and help us," that at the present time.
III. Notice shortly the means of union.
No union will be of any real value without a personal subjection
to the cross of Christ, and the presence and powerful operation of
the Holy Spirit. But where these exist, the means both of co-opera-
tion and incorporation are at hand. I notice,
1. The Bible Society at present, a noble platform in which all
who love our Lord Jesus Christ may stand, become acquainted with
each other, and its unspeakable good to myriads.
2. Evangelical Alliance, which lately at Berlin presented a sight,
I believe, unprecedented in the Christian church ; while the best evi-
dence of the importance of that gathering is found in the anger it
excited among the ranks of Ultramontanism, High-churchism, and
scepticism in Great Britain, France, and Germany.
S. In many cases, incorporation ought to be resorted to.
What is to hinder those bodies of the same families from uniting?
For example, the Presbyterian family. I bless God because our
church has set the example, first in 1820, and again in 1847 ; and

I believe that we are ready to consummate a third, with the (Free)
Presbyterian Church of Canada, between which church and us ne-
gotiations for this purpose have been going on for the last ten years.

Eeports were received from the Presbyteries of Brant, Canada
East, Durham, Flamboro, Grey, Lanark, London, Toronto, and Wel-
lington.
The Committee on distribution of probationers reported the fol-
lowing resolutions, which were adopted :
Resolved, That no preacher or minister, who has not been re^larlj received into
fall ministerial connection with the chnrch shall be eligible for nomination in a call
by any congregation ; and that when he shall be received, he shall obtain appoint-
ments only through the Committee of Distribution and the Fresbyterics in whose
bonnds vacancies may be situated.
Resolved, That should any preacher or minister see fit to withdraw his services
from the church, from any cause whatever, except want of health, or necessary ab-
sence from the country, his name shall not be restored to the list of probationers in or-
der to receive appointments, except by the direct action of the Presbytery in whose
bounds he may nave resided, as in the case of all preachers who are received for the
first time into connection with the church.
The following resolutions were adopted, in reference to the union
with the Presbyterian Church of Canada :
Resolvedf That this Synod is sincerely and earnestly desirous of union with the
Presbyterian Church of Canada, and is fully persuaded of the practicability of such
Digitized by

nnioD, on grounds that will compromiae the principles of neither of the churches, and
secure the harmooioos action of both.
That the basis of union, when prepared and agreed upon bj the Joint- Com-
mittees, shall be sent down for the cousideration of the Presbyteries and SessioDS
of this church, with instructions to report on the same by the month of October,
when a special meeting of Synod may be called for theur consideration, with a view
to immediate union.
The following resolution on Instrumental Music, was adopted:
That the use of musical instruments in conducting the public worship of God is highly
inexpedient, and order the Presbytery of London to use due diligence to see that the
congregation of London cease from the practice complained of.
Also on the independence of the church:
1. That an address on the self-sustentation of the church, and the best means
of attaining it, be drawn up and read from all the pulpits, that it be printed also,
and circulated throughout the church ; one copy of it, at least, to be furnished to
every household connected with the church, either by membership or adherence.
2. That a Missionary Society be formed in every congregation of the body, and
collectors appointed to take up subscriptions monthly or quarterly, as may be deemed
most convenient for the people.
3. That the existence of such a Society in the congr^ation requiring aid, be a
condition of their receiving supplement out of the Mission Funds of the church.
4. That Presbyteries be instructed to bring these resolutions under the considera-
tion of the congregations within their bounds, and afford them every assistance and
encouragement in carrying them out.
Also on the suppression of intemperance:
That the Synod deeply deplore the sad ravages of intemperance in the church, at
well as in the world, and earnestly exhort all the office-bearers of the church to use
their utmost endeavours by doctrine and discipline, example and influence, to arrest
and remove this widely extended and destructive vice.
That the several Presbyteries and Sessions of the church are hereby recommended
to take such steps as in their judgment may seem most efficient for the suppression of
intemperance, and for the maintenance of a pure and scriptural discipline on this mat-
ter in each of their respective congregations.
The thanks of Synod were then given to the Rev. William Or-
miston, to the office bearers, and congregation of the United Pres-
byterian congregation of Hamilton, for the accommodation furnished
to this meeting, and also to the members of the congregation, and
other friends, for the kind and generous hospitality with which
they have entertained members of the Synod on this occasion.
After engaging in praise, the Moderator announced that the next
meeting of Synod would be held in the first United Presbyterian
Church, Toronto, on the second Monday of June, 1858, at 7 J o'clock,
P. M., and closed the session with the Apostolic benediction.

THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH OF
NOVA SCOTIA
The Synod of the Presbyterian Church of Nova Scotia, met in
Prince Street Church, Pictou, N. S., on Wednesday, June 16th,
1858, at 7 o'clock, P. M., and was opened with a discourse by the
retiring Moderator.
2 Peter, i. 12. The Present Truth.
Thb great truths of the gospel are unchanged and unchangeable.
This must be the case from the manner in which they have been
made known to man. They are not the result of human specula-
tion, and therefore cannot share the fate of such enquiries, where the
conclusions of one age are overthrown or are superseded by the
more matured investigations of its successor. They are not the
result of human discovery, and no subsequent progress of man can
render them obsolete, or unfold any other or more advanced system
to take their place. On the contrary they come to us by the inspi-
ration of the Most High, — and as no new revelation is promised,
we are to expect during all this sublunary state of things no sub-
stitute for them.
Hence in every age and under all circumstances the same doctrines
are to be proclaimed to men for their salvation, and are blessed by
God for that end. Christianity in its primal truth reaches man in
the lowest barbarism or the highest civilization. The profoundest
philosopher and the most illiterate peasant alike find rest and com-
fort in the Saviour which it proclaims, and the lapse of time effects
no change in its virtue.
Yet in another sense each age has its peculiar truths to maintain.
The enemy does not assault the citadel at every point at the samo
time, nor at the same point in every age. And hence the defenders
are called upon, according to the times in which they live, to defend
particular portions of the edifice, and to exhibit more energetically
those particular truths, which may be the subject of special assault.
Besides, too, the truth in its development is progressive. We
do not mean by this, that there are many new truths being discov-
ered, or that any of the old become obsolete. But the principles
of God's word are only slowly appreciated, and their full bearing
only comprehended in the lapse of ages. And it has commonly
happened that each period in the church's history has had some
great truth to maintain. The storms of discussion are made the
means of its clearer elucidation— circumstances in providence excite
attention to it— experience teaches its value and importance, and

the peculiar vigour of the assaults of the great adversary upon it
endear it to the hearts of the faithful. Principles which may have
for a time been dormant in the word of God, or only partially ap-
preciated, become thus established as part of the faith of the church,
and are interwoven with its whole experience and practice.
While therefore we are to "contend earnestly for the faith once
delivered unto the saints," to preach the whole system of divine
truth, to "keep back nothing that is profitable/' and "not to shun
to declare the whole counsel of God," we must observe what par-
ticular portions of the system of divine truth the times and situa-
tions in which we are placed require us to hold forth most promi-
nently. If we do not attend to this, though we may preach no
positive error, yet our preaching may have the same effect as if we
did. To preach morality, when men are trusting to their own do-
ings, would be equivalent to preaching justification by the works
of the law. But to insist mainly on justification by faith, when men
are already running into Antinomian excesses, would have the same
effect as preaching our release from the law as a rule of life. Will
my fathers and brethren in the ministry then suffer an imperfect at-
tempt to exhibit "the present truth?"
In attending to this subject one general remark may be made in
the outset, viz: that a peculiar characteristic of false teachers in the
present day, is to assume the language and phrases of orthodoxy.
There is no honest assault upon the truth in our times. All the
operations of the enemy are carried on by sapping and mining.
So that it is now impossible to judge merely by the language em-
ployed, whether a preacher or writer be orthodox or not.
I. We are especially called in the present day to maintain theinspi-
ration of the scriptures and the authority of the whole word of Ood,
Formerly infidelity attempted to prove the Bible a forgery, and
the claim of inspiration for its authors an imposition upon human
credulity. Now it has entirely changed its tactics. It now profes-
ses not only to believe in inspiration, but to maintain it in its ful-
lest sense. But it is only such an inspiration for the writers of the
books of scripture, as is possessed by men of genius in every age.
According to the advocates of this system, Paul was inspired but
so was Shakespeare — Isaiah was inspired and so was Milton — John,
the apostle of love, was divinely inspired and so was Byron, the
apostle of misanthropy. This view is openly advocated by the West*
minster Review^ a publication, conducted with eminent ability and
extensively circulated among ourselves. It is the view of a large
class of philosophical writers and of the distinguished Litterateurs
of the day. It is a favourite idea of the Bationalists of Germany,
and, worse than all this, it has lately been openly avowed by cler-
gymen of the Church of England, as Maurice, Jowett, and McNaught^
if not also by some leading members of the English Dissenters.
In connection with this, we may remark that the Old Testament has
been made the special subject of assault, and we are particularly called
upon to maintain the divine authority of the whole revelation of
God. In former times the Old and New Testament have generally
Digitized by

sto6d together. But in the present day we hear the loudest com-
mendations of the New Testament, while the Old is decried as use-
less or worse.
This error is far more extensive than the last, as it is held by many
who hold most of the distinguishing doctrines of Christianity. In
particular, the Christian public was not long since shocked by the
open avowal on the part of Dr. Wayland, a man whose writings on
moral science had won him a high reputation, that he did not re-
gard the Old Testament as any part of the standard of divine truth.
Those who have come in contact with the Baptists in this Province
must have observed a tendency to the saipe view, and will not be
surprised at the open avowal of it by one of the most eminent men
of that body.
II. We are at the present moment called upon to maintain the doc-
trine of a Trinity of persons in the Godhead^ and especially of the Eternal
Sonship of Christ. We do not say that there is any general revival
of Unitarianism throughout the world. On the contrary we think,
thatf in the United States particularly, it is dying out.
My allusion is a local onel Hitherto as achurchwe havenever been
disturbed with any discussions as to the person of Christ. The
doctrine of his proper Godhead has been universally received, and
the census of the Province scarcely exhibits a single avowed Unita-
rian. But we should be prepared. "A little leaven leaveneth the
whole lump." And that leaven has begun. James Morrison's
works, giving a most earthly and sensual view of the Sonship of
Christ, are most industriously circulated among us. In these, in-
stead of being described as the Eternal Son of God, it is taught that
he " became the Son of God when he was begotten in the womb of
the Virgin Mary," — that he is the Son of God, because "God only was
his father," and "the Son of Man, because he had Mary for his mother."
III, We are in the present day called on to maintain the doctrines
of sovereign grace against some peculiar modes^ either of denying them
or of neutralizing them.
The material progress which man is making, his advancement
in the arts and sciences, and the improvements making in social life,
have induced a boastfulness of spirit, which has been extended to
moral and religious subjects. And hence in the present day those
views which exalt man, and tend to give him honour and credit in
his own salvation, are prominent and public; while Calvinism, which
lays man prostrate at the feet of his Creator, is often regarded as
distanced by the progress of the age.
It is not, however, so much against the open denial of the doc-
trines of grace, that we have to contend, as the spirit so prevalent
of keeping out of sight the sterner features of the system — to clip
ofif what we regard as its rugged corners, and plane down its rough-
ness, that it may pass smoothly through the world. There is a
disposition prevalent in the church, to insist on what is general,
and to confine attention to the principles that are considered com-
mon to all evangelical bodies.
But more than this, there has been a strong disposition to modify
Digitized by
Googk
THB PKBSBYTKRIAN CHURCH OF NOVA SCOTIA. 258
the system — to seek some middle ground — ^to explain its doctrines
according to some prevailing theory of the human mind, and thus
to harmonize them with human philosophy.
In some instances they have originated in an attempt to amend
the nomenclature of Theology — to exchange what is considered the
scholastic form of a past age for a more scientific terminology suited
to the present day. In this way some good men have lent their
names to the speculations which have ended in the grossest forms
of Pelagianism. This is the real character of what is called
Finneyism, from the Rev. 0. G. Finney, and sometimes "Oberlin
doctrines/' from his having founded his theological school at Oberlin.
We are not, however, to regard the New School Presbyterians,
or the advocates of what is called New England Theology as op-
posed to Calvinism. This is supposed to be the case, but it is not
correct. The adherents of the latter system speak of it as "Calvin-
ism in an improved form." "It is," said one of its leading advo-
cates, "not mere Calvinism, but it is consistent Calvinism. It is a
revised and corrected edition of the Genevan creed," They in gene-
ral agree with Calvinists in holding the doctrines of the divine de-
crees, election, and the perseverance of the saints. But they differ
from the "Old Calvinists" in denying the doctrine of human ina-
bility, making man's responsibility commensurate with his ability ;
also in denying the doctrine of the imputation either of Adam's sin
or of Christ's righteousness, and of any covenant relations between
Adam and his posterity, or Christ and his people, and of a definite
efiicacious atonement. On these and kindred topics they have
adopted certain speculations founded principally on certain philoso-
phical theories of the human mind, which have led to every variety
of error.
The present is an age in which the Roman Catholic controversy
is revived. Everywhere we see Rome putting forth extraordinary
efforts, and that in her twofold form of the beast and the false pro-
phet. Taking the beast to denote the Pope as the head of the ten
kingdoms of Europe, and of the Church of Rome as a politico-eccle-
siastical system, we behold desperate efforts made to reestablish
her influence over the Governments of the world. Concordats have
been entered into not only with Austria, but with some of the mi-
nor Powers of Europe, by which in their civil administration, they
are placed entirely at the disposal of the Church of Rome, and the
power which she wielded in the dark ages is again in a large meas-
ure restored to her. The same thing has been either attempted or
actually accomplished in Mexico and South America. We do not
say that in these countries the influence of Popery over the mass
of the population is increased ; on the contrary, we believe that
nothing is more certain than that it is dying out, and nowhere
more thoroughly than in the very Roman States themselves.
At home, every county in Ireland and every populous town in
England has its Papal missionaries. In 1829, the Propaganda ex-
pended nothing on missions in England, but in one year lately they
spent the sum of £40,000. In our own Province we cannot

but have observed lately a great increase of activity in building
chapels, training priests, and other means for advancing the inter-
ests of the Church.
And farther, the system of Tractarianisra or Puseyism, both in the
United States and England, has been the means of a vast increase
of the teaching of Popish doctrines, and has led a large number of
the aristocracy and clergy of the Church of England into the bo-
som of the Bomish Church.
IV. We think that the one great principle which it seems the
mission of the present age to establish is the spiritual character of
Chrisis hingdom.
Our Lord taught that his "kingdom was not of this world." When
his disciples misunderstood its nature, he instructed them by the
declaration, " The kingdom of God is within your Its subjects are
spiritual. "Ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of
the world." When men desired its establishment amid the pompous
decorations of earthly grandeur, he taught them that " the kingdom
of God Cometh not with observation." All its services are spiritual.
"God is a Spirit and they that worship him must worship him ia
spirit and in truth." "The kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but
righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost." Its privileges
are spiritual. When two of the favoured disciples asked that " they
might sit, the one on his right hand and the other on the left, in his
kingdom," he said, " Ye know not what ye ask," and he promised
that their reign should be with him hereafter in glory. And, espe-
cially, it is to be maintained and advanced by spiritual means.
" If my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight.
" The weapons of our warfare are not carnal."
But another source in the present day from which we have to
contend with opposition to the spiritual character of Christ^s king-
dom, is from the Millenarian theories so prevalent. This heresy
seems to arise at every period of great excitement, and considering
the agitated state of society in the present day throughout the world,
we are not surprised that it should have broken out with fresh vig-
our. It is now maintained by a large number of the clergy both
of Britain and America, and advocated by many of the most popu-
lar writers of the day.
In connection with the spiritual character of the Christian Church,
as exhibited in the movements and discussions of the present age,
may be mentioned its diflFusive or aggressive character. The pre-
sent is the great missionary age. There have been other ages in
which there have been missionary operations, but none in which
they have been carried on so extensively and so systematically.
The present is the age in which the missionary enterprise is first
re^rded as belonging essentially to the character of the Churchy — when
it has been shown to be her chief duty, and a principal end for
which she has been instituted, to evangelize the nations. So that
now any Church, that is not engaged in one way or another in ex«
tending the gospel, is regarded as neglecting an important part of
ber obligations.

But the progress of the church is still onward. Its goal in this
age is its starting point in the next. Its present attainments form
but the stage from which it takes a higher ascent. " Forgetting
those things that are behind, she reaches forth unto those things
that are before." What then is to be her next step ?
More combination will be needed for that fearful conflict that is
evidently approaching. Every student of prophecy is anticipating
a struggle political and religious. Whether it will be the final
struggle, preparatory to the ushering in of the Millennial glory of
the Church, we would not decide; but in our view, circumstances
in Providence, as well as God's word, indicate that it will be.
But if there is reason for gloom, there is also reason for hope.
Even should the skies grow darker around us, the christian has no
reason to be disheartened. Among the shaking of the nations, the
things that cannot be shaken will remain, and be is the subject of a
kingdom that cannot be moved.
What, then, though the years coming should travail in the pangs
of a new birth, and "have sorrow because her hour is come," in a
little she will no more remember her sorrow, for joy that a new age
is born unto the world. Zion shall be redeemed with judgment,
and her converts with righteousness. These judgments are simul-
taneous with the dawning of the Millennial glory of the church.
Happy they who are watching for the dawning of that day, and
whose hearts are prepared by the Spirit of God for its blissful
ohanges I

of Tobacco, reported ; when the following resolution was adopted :

THE SYNOD OF THE
PRESBY'N CHURCH OF NEW BRUNSWfCK.
The Synod met in St. David's Church, St. John, N. B., on Wed-
nesday, June 16th, 1858, and waa opened with a discourse by the
retiring Moderator, Rev. James Law, from 1 Cor. ii. 2. "For I de-
termined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ and
him crucified."
After a suitable introduction, attention was directed first to the
object which engrossed the apostle's attention, and second to the con
siderations calculated to justify his preference in illustrating the
latter topic, the preacher referred with great eflect to the transform-
inginfluence of the gospel upon the Corinthians.
He showed that the knowledge of Christ crucified was not only
the most excellent of the sciences, but that without it there could
be little right knowledge of anything. God, himself, although re-
vealed as to many of his attributes by his works, was only known
in Christ. This knowledge was especially suited to guilty men.
It, and it alone, revealed the way of pardon. This earth was not
made that it might be a place of court intrigue, or a great slaughter-
house, or a philosopher's cabinet, or a grand ware-house. No! it
was made that it might form a resting place for the foot of the cross,
and be the scene of the great work of redemption. The truths
which the apostles proclaimed retained their ancient power. If the

like results did not now follow, the reason frequently was, the apos-
tolic fervour, simplicity, or plainness of speech, was departed from.
The preacher concluded by an appeal to his brethren in the ministry;
to make Jesus Christ and him crucified the theme of their preaching,
and to the congregation generally, to see to it that they each pos-
sessed personal and experimental knowledge of the crucified Sa-
viour whom Paul proclaimed.

This is one of those Presbyterian bodies which was organized on
this continent, in consequence of the disruption of the Church of
Scotland, in 1848. The Synod of New Brunswick, in connection
with the established Church of Scotland, soon after the disruption,
felt constrained to express its sentiments upon that event. The
resolutions adopted by the majority of the Synod were to the effect,
that as this Synod was not represented in the General Assembly,
it did not feel itself called upon to express any judgment on the
conduct of the Church of Scotland.
The Synod further resolved to continue " in connection with the
Church of Scotland, as by law established." Although the resolu-
tions aimed at avoiding any homologation of the principles of the
Established Church of Scotland, after that Church had submitted to
what the Free Church party regarded as the Erastian encroachment
of the State, they did not fully do so ; nor could any person con-
sistently remain connected with that Synod who aid not ap-
prove of the acts of the established Church of Scotland, to which he
would by such connection lend his influence, and with which the
Synod remained in communion, although the parent church did
not seek to exercise any jurisdiction over it.
Accordingly, on the 17th day of March, 1845, three ministers
of the Synod seceded and formed themselves into a new organiza-
tion. The names of these brethren were John Turnbull, then
minister of the gospel at Blackville and Nelson, Andrew Stevens,
then minister of the gospel at St. Stephen and St. James, and An-
drew Donald, then minister of the gospel at Hammond River,Norton,
and Salt Springs.
The smallness of the body, to which however further accessions
were soon received, induced the brethren to resolve their Synod
into a Presbytery. This arrangement continued until the year
1864, when the Presbytery at its annual meeting held at St. Stephen,
in June, was again formed into a Synod, which now consisted of
three Presbyteries, one of which was afterwards divided, as at
present; the Synod now consisting of four Presbyteries.
At this meeting the style assumed was that by which the body had
been previously generally known, and which appeared in a charter
granted by the legislature: namely, that of the Presbyterian Church
of New Brunswick.
It will be noticed that, while the grounds on which the new or-
ganization was formed were the attitude which the Synod of New
Brunswick retained or assumed towards the present Church of
Scotland, the new organization was not formally connected with
any foreign ecclesiastical body. On the subject of the spiritual
independence of the Church of Christ, it gave no uncertain sound.
It was thought wiser, however, to form an organization which
might hold precisely the same relation to all foreign bodies who
Digitized by
Googk
THB PBBSBTTSRIAN OHUBCH OF M. B. 268
held the same principles, without becoming part of, or assuming the
name of any of them, and which might at the same time attach itself
to the soil of New Brunswick, and endeavour to gather around the.
sympathies of the youth and people of the province. It was also
hoped that, in the course of time, all the persons of the province
who held the rightful spiritual independence of the Church of
Christ might fall in with such a body, in giving up their foreign
relationships. This expectation was deemed the more probable,
inasmuch a^ the circumstances which led to the disruption had no
existence in New Brunswick.
The Free Church of Scotland, and the Presbyterian Church of
Ireland, at once entered into correspondence and fellowship with
the new organization, which received much assistance and advice
from a deputation from the former church, who were at that time
in the province, and who, in their visits to various parts of the pro-
vince, gave a luminous exposition of the state of ecclesiastical mat-
ters in Scotland.
For several years the number of ministers received from Scotland
and Ireland was quite inadequate to the wants of the Presbyterian
population. Latterly, however, several missionaries were obtained
from both countries; and through the establishment of a Free Church
College for the lower provinces at Halifax, Nova Scotia, through
the liberality of the Free Church of Scotland, aided by local contri-
butions, several young men, natives of the country, have been
trained for the gospel ministry, and are now ministering to their
long neglected and spiritually destitute brethren.

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF
THE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND.
Thb General Assembly met within the Assembly Hall, Edin-
burgh, on Thursday, May 20th, 1858, and was opened with a dis-
course from the retiring Moderator, Rev. James Robertson, D. D.
The sessions were constituted with prayer.
Rev. Matthbw Leish^an, of Govan, was proposed by Rev. Dr.
Robertson as a fit person to be Moderator, and the selection was
unanimously agreed to, whereupon Dr. Leishman took the chair;
and the assembly being thus constituted, the Queen's commission
to the Right Hon. Wm. David, Earl of Mansfield, appointing him
Her Majesty's representative in this Assembly, was read with all
due honour and respect.
The Queen's most gracious letter to this Assembly was also read,
and ordered to be recorded.
Her Majesty's High Commissioner then addressed the Assembly
from the Throne, and the Moderator replied.
A Committee was appointed to answer Her Majesty's letter, also
to name Ministers to preach before His Grace the Commissioner.
The General Assembly agreed to present an address to the Queen
on the occasion of her birth-day, and to Her Majesty and the Prince
Consort on the nuptials of Her Royal Highness, the Princess Royal.
The Procurator was authorized to draw from the Exchequer, the
Royal Grant of £2,000, ($10,000,) and deliver the amount to the
Finance Committee on the Royal Bounty.
Various committees were then appointed, and reports subsequently
received concerning the Protestant brethren of Piedmont, France,
and Geneva; the Jews; also one adopting a "Memorial to Her
Majesty's Government, setting forth the reason why the Church of
Scotland claim an increase in the number of Scotch Chaplains in the
Indian Service;" on Parochial Schools; the Home Mission Scheme;
tlie India or Foreign Mission Committee; Education Committee;
Sabbath-schools, and Popery. Synod ical records were examined,
and generally approved. The Assembly concluded with prayer,
singing of psalms, and the apostolic benediction.
The next session will be held in Edinburgh, on Thursday, May
19th, 1859.

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF
THE FREE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND.
The General Assembly of the Free Charch of Scotland met in its
temporary place of meeting, the Music Hall, George Street, Edin-
burgh, May 19th, 1868, and was opened with a discourse by the re*
tiring Moderator, Rev. J. J. Wood, from Gen. ii. 7, "And the Lord
God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his
nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul."
The sessions were constituted with prayer, when Dr. Wood nomi-
nated as his successor. Rev. Alexander Beith, D. D., of Stirling,
who took the chair and addressed the Assembly.
The reports from the Committee on the Schemes of the Church;
the Jews ; the Widows' Fund ; the Highland Home Mission ; the
Sustcntation Fund; the New College; Popery; Foreign Missions;
and Debt Extinction Fund, were debated, and were favourably dis^
posed of.
The religious awakening in America occupied the attention of
the Assembly, and Rev. Dr. D, V. McLean of the Presbyterian
Church, (O. S.,) made an address on the subject.
The Moderator delivered a concluding address: — ^" There is much
to render the closing meeting of a General Assembly, solemn and
affecting." He called his brethren to " estimate aright the greatness
of their mission, the magnitude of the undertaking committed to the
Church, even the conversion of the world to God. This would
keep alive in their hearts the sense of their great need for a strength
not their own."
The next General Assembly was appointed to meet at Edinburgh,
on the 19th of May, 1859.
After prayer, the 122d Psalm was sung, and the Assembly ad-
journed.

THE SYNOD OF THE
UNITED PRESBY'N CHURCH OF SCOTLAND.
The Synod of the United Presbyterian Church met in Edinburgh,
on Monday, May 3d, 1858, and was opened with a discourse by
Kev. John Eadie, D. D.,LL.D., from Eev. xxi. 10, "And he carried
mcaway in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me
that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from
God."
The sessions were then constituted with prayer, and Rev. Wm.
Peddie, D. D., was elected Moderator.
Reports were read and disposed of, on Scholarships; Continental
Churches; Missions; Aged Ministers' Scheme; Synod House; Church
Psalmody ; General Statistics, &c., &c.

tery joining the United Presbyterian Church. The Synod con-
demned the use of instrumental music, in their churches in a series
of resolutions.
It was also moved that as the Reformation from Popery is the
most important event in the past history of Scotland, and worthy
of special commemoration, on the arrival of the Tricentenary in 1860,
this Synod will celebrate it.

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF
THE PRESBY'N CHURCH IN IRELAND.
The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland,
met in the first Presbyterian Church, Londonderry, July 5th, 1858,
at 6 o'clock, P. M., and was opened with a discourse by the retiring
Moderator.
gist0ttrse hj ^tii. ^lejranhr $. <g0«i2, i, §.
Buy the trath and sell it not Prov. xxiii. 23.
The figure employed here (like the figurative phraseology of
Scripture generally) is singularly appropriate and expressive. The
commercial spirit which pervades all nations, originates in human
wants, and is connected with the love of acquisition — one of the
deepest, most universal, and most ineradicable of the passions.
Whether in the rude form of barter, or in the exchange of earth's
products for some common recognized symbol of value, (as money,)
all men understand what is meant by buying and selling. The
Holy Spirit, in adopting this style, uses language which comes
to all men's " business and bosoms."
The address in our text is couched in the form of a command.
Elsewhere, when a parallel sentiment is expressed by the prophet
Isaiah in his 55th chapter, it is presented in the form of an invita-
tion: — "Come ye, buy and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk."
And in the book of Revelation, the 3d chapter and 18th verse, the
style adopted is that of advice: — "I counsel thee to buy of me gold
tried in the fire." But the general idea is one and the same. The
invitation of an earthly monarch to a subject is usually interpreted
as equivalent to an injunction. And when a Being, such as God,
is addressing a creature, such as sinful man, entreaty and advice
cannot be separated from the idea of authority.
But it is not of natural truth or its claims our text calls on us to
speak. " Buy the truth." It is undoubtedly " the truth as it is in
Jesus," the wise king mainly refers to — those "thoughts of God's
heart," which the divine Son, who dwelt eternally in his bosom,
who was "brought up with him and was daily his delight, rejoicing
always before him," hath declared to the children of men. And
where is this truth ? Where are these counsels of the Infinite mind
to be found? They are to be found, to use the homely language
of the old divine, " within the braids of the Bible." There is doubt-
less m^ny another truth in the universe outside that sacred and
charmed enclosure — but there is "the truth" emphatically, which we
are commanded to "buy." And why, let us ask, is it called "^/ic
truth? The language is significant of t/w oneness of Divine truth. It
is not merely that the utterances of Heaven in the Bible are true in

THE PRBSBTTEKIAN CHUBCH IN IRELAND. ' 291
opposition to what is false — they are the truth by way of eminence — -
a body of verity closely and indissolubly concatenated — one, entire
and indivisible.
Men's sentiments may be diversified, but God's truth is one.
" Let God be true but every man a liar." To pretend that sincerity
in error extracts all its guilt, and renders man acceptable to his
Maker, what is it but to say, that "He that is holy" is regardless
of moral distinctions, and "He that is true" indiflferent whether or no
he be represented as ** the father of lies ?" "To this end," saith Christ,
" was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should
bear witness unto the truth."
" The truth !" It is of supreme importance. Do we mean that
every jot and tittle of it is of equal importance ? Nothing of the
kind. But there is one thing we do mean, and are prepared to
maintain — that there is no particle of God's truth that any man is
warranted to regard as wholly unimportant. There is not a truth
in Scripture, however apparently insignificant — ( if it were even
such a truth as that Paul once left his cloak and parchments at
Troas) — there is not one of such a class of truths as this, which was
not originally conceived in the breast of the Eternal — which did
not require the blood of Christ to be shed, in order to authorize its
revelation — which did not need the intervention of the Holy Ghost,
in order to publish it to the Church and to the world. If we are
disposed to condemn it as a triviality, we must first put this ques-
tion — " Is that not worth our while to consider which God has
thought it worth his while to reveal 7"
The figurative phraseology of our text implies that sacrifices are
required of every man who sets himself with full purpose of heart,
to the investigation and acquisition of "the truth." These, wo
know, are indispensable in every branch of merely physical or^in-
tellectual research ; the energies must be exerted — the passions
ourbed — ^the midnight oil consumed — the cost counted. There is
no "royal road" to science — neither is there to the attainment of that
"knowledge of Jesus" which is "the most excellent of the sciences."
The truth must be bought.
It is not meant that man can give God an equivalent for it — that
any efforts he can put forth, or any sacrifices he can make, can
merit its bestowal. Justly has it been said by one of the old di-
vines — that "God sells man nothing, but gives him everything."
One great sacrifice had, indeed, to be made, in order to merit the
bestowal of truth ; but that was made not by man, but by the God-
man— not by the sinner, but by the Saviour. In the red gold of
his own " precious blood," Jesus, as a priest, purchased the right
to impart truth to the elect as a prophet — purchased those influences
of the Holy Spirit by which they are led "into all truth." When
truth is said to be bought by sinners, therefore, the figure means,
not that they give anything for it — it is theirs, " without money and
without price," — but that in believing it through the powerof the Holy
Ghost — in "obeying the truth through the Spirit" — certain processes
take place within their souls which involve the idea of self-sacrifice.

292 PRESBYTEBIAN HISTORICAL ALMANAC.
There is one other remark we would make in bringing out the
meaning of this figure, and it is this — that when, in believing, the
sinner " buys the truth," he is actually put in possession of it^ and
knows that it is his. It is of the very essence of a purchase that the
buyer gets what he contracts for. He has what he bargained for,
and he knows that he has it.
It is an undeniable and all-important fact that the truth of God,
in its reception, brings its own evidence along with it. ' " If any
man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine whether it be
of God."
He may not be able to give you the reason for his conviction,
but as no mere reasoning could establish it, so no amount of reason-
ing can overthrow it. So strongly rooted is it in his heart — so
deeply imbedded in the depths of his spiritual nature, that no so-
phistry can shake it, and no logic disprove it. He feels within him
such a moral adjustment of these truths to his souFs state, as con-
verts them into demonstration. He is the subject of a sublime in-
stinct, a Spirit-wrought satisfying consciousness, which is more
than a match for all the outward forces that may be brought to bear
against it. Like the man whose eyes the Saviour opened, he ex-
claims : — " One thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see."
We come now to look at the negative form in which Solomon
warns against undervaluing " the truth." " Sell it not." That it is
so sublime, so pure, and so precious, that when communicated to
others, at least by the Church of Christ, it should be dispensed freely,
literally "without money and without price." That while in the
secular professions, truth may be exposed for sale in the open mar-
ket, and whether it be legal, medical, scientific, or political truth,
money may be fairly demanded for money's worth, and a fair day's
wages be claimed for a fair day's work, it is different in that profes-
sion which we denominate, by way of eminence, sacred. That here
the Gospel would be soiled and desecrated if brought into contact
with "filthy lucre," and that its ministrations should be given, not
sold or bartered, to the children of men.
It is in this sense, we believe, that the Holy Ghost, by the mouth
of the royal prophet here, issues his solemn prohibition against the
selling of the truth. His design, unquestionably, is to warn men
against betraying this heavenly trust — against immolating it on the
altar of expediency; or, for any selfish consideration, bartering
away this priceless possession.
Let me mention some considerations which should constrain us
to* 'sell it not."
And first, it is the divinely-appointed instrument of our personal
sanctification, ** Sanctify them through thy truth," is the prayer of
Christ to the Father : '*thy Word is truth."
The "sanctification" which the Spirit accomplishes, an apostle
instructs us, is only "through the belief of the truth." It is through
the truth, grasped by that noble faculty, that he bends the will, af-
fects the imagination, quickens the conscience, and purifies the pas-
sions. And just in proportion to the clearness, precision, and corn-

prehensiveness with which these truths are grasped, will be the
progress of his work. It is not too much to affirm, that there is
not a siugle principle we hold, whether, in regard to doctrine,
strictly so called, or in relation to the constitution, government,
and worship of the Church, but has its bearing (if we could but
trace it) on the moulding of our character here, and on the appor-
tioning of our destiny hereafter. The faith of Christians is em-
phatically a "holy faith."
Let us never forget that the truth is the only instrument by
which the soul of man can be rescued from its fallen position, and
renewed in the heavenly image in which it was at first created.
God will never employ error for such a purpose, or send it forth
on so august a mission. " Ye shall know the truth,'' saith Christ,
" and the truth shall make you free."
There is no real emancipation but that which the truth achieves.
** He is the freemaD whom the trath makes free,
And all are slaves beside."
It is when the "truth as it is in Jesus" is realized in the believ-
ing heart, that the man feels that a hateful yoke has been broken :
the shackles of corruption fall off from him, and he "rules over his
spirit" and all its rebel tempers and desires, with the sublime con-
sciousness that in doing so he is "greater than he that taketh a city."
Animated by the truth, he learns how to live; sustained and forti-
fied by the truth, he does not fear to die. If, brethren, we would
learn how to regulate our lives, whether as ministers or men ; if we
expect, when we come to lie on the bed of death, that we shall not
be unmanned by a base and craven fear, but shall look with un-
quailing eye on the face of the grisly king, and yield up our last
breath with a hope full of immortality; then let us seek that, in
that hour, we may be able, like Paul, to say: — "We have fllnished
our course, we have kept the faith." Let us " stand fast in the
faith." Let us "buy the truth, and sell it not."
But again, the truth should not be sold by us, because of those
whom^ in every age^ it has cost so dear to maintain it. Blessed be
God I the number is not small of those who, in days gone by, have
nobly battled for the truth. They were God's heroes. And as we
think of them, and of their "faithful contendings," how grandly do
their majestic forms loom out on us, from amid the dim memories
of the past 1 We think of those three noble spirits, who, on the
plain of Dura, refused to bend an idolatrous knee at the bidding of
a tyrant, and that, though a dreadful death confronted them. We
think of the two humble, intrepid apostles, who, when a frowning
Sanhedrim would have put an interdict on the preaching of the
Gospel, used this language, " Whether it be right in the sight of
God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye; for we
cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard." We
think of the lion-hearted Luther. He is summoned by duty to
visit the city of Worms. The people warn him — "They will burn
you there — they will consume your body to ashes, as they did that

of John HuflS.'* The aadaanted monk exclaims : — " Although they
ahoald make a fire that would reach from Worms to Wittemberg —
yea, and that would flame up to heaven — in the Lord's name, I
would pass through it — I would appear before them. I would en-
ter between the jaws of this behemoth; I would break his teeth, and
would confess the Lord Jesus Christ." We think of that heroic
Scotchman, who, in the language of his immortal epitaph, ** never
feared the face of man." But " time would fail us to tell" of such
men *as these, "who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought
righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions."
It was no ordinary price that these men set upon the truth, and
that not merely on what we call fundamentals, but on every fragment
and atom of the truth. We wonder what was the bribe that would
have tempted them to "sell" it? Fathers and brethren I there is
blood on these Bibles and Psalm-books of ours There is blood
on the sacraments we administer. There is blood on the Presbyte-
rian privileges we enjoy. The blood of "men of whom the world
was not worthy," has been poured out like water for this cause, and
has incarnadined indelibly our religious rights and liberties. It is
sad to think how little the world has cared for men such as these.
But the time will come when the world will be ashamed of its
hero-worship, and will ere long replace it with a worthier homage.
A deep humiliation will yet be felt for many a wreath that has been
twined, and many a statue that has been erected, and many a monu-
ment that has been carved ; and the missionaries of the cross, and
the " martyrs of Jesus," will be acknowledged to be the men, who,
above all others, should have reaped the harvest of a nation's grati-
tude and the tribute of a nation's tears.
Meanwhile, let us take care that we think not lightly of the
privileges which it cost the men of other days so dear to hand down
to us and to our children. When the great lyric poet would rouse
the enthusiasm of England's naval warriors, he tells them that —
** The spirits of their fathers
Shall start from every wave."
Brethren, let us not forget the memories of our fathers. Let us not
"disallow their deeds." They were not fanatics or fools. They
"died not as a fool dieth." They call to us from mountain fast-
nesses, and bleak moors, and lone hill-sides — from the blood-stained
heather of Scotland — from many a quiet hamlet and green church-
yard of Ulster, they send forth a voice which says to us — "Presby-
iSerians of this generation, quit you like men !" Barter not for gold,
or aught that gold can buy, the rights you have inherited from us.
** Contend earnestly" for the old faith. "Buy the truth, and sell
it not."
But again, we should beware of selling the truth, for it is the conserva"
tive element of the Church, A Church's safety is not in her numbers,
her wealth, her learning, her social standing, or in the position she
occupies in relation to the State. She is protected by Him to whom
" the shields of the earth" belong, for " the truth's sake that dwelleth

in her." "Salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks."
The apostle designates^her "the Church of the living God, the pil-
lar and ground of the truth." A luminous and suggestive delinea-
tion I By the full, and free, and open proclamation of the doctrines
of grace, through the living voice of her ministry, and by the per-
manent attesting record of her creeds and confessions, she stands up
before the world as a mighty pillar, on which are legibly engraven,
as with a pen of iron and the point of a diamond, the truths of the
everlasting Gospel. And, in days of fierce persecution, she is the
"ground" on which the truth rests, as on "a sure foundation."
In regard to the mere dissemination of the truth, it has been
dreaded at times, that in a Church's most strenuous efforts to extend
it are lodged the elements of decay. It has been thought by some
that a Church, widely diffusing the Gospel, may cripple its own re-
sources — may so push its extremities as to weaken its centre — may
so multiply its evangelistic efforts as to imperil its stability. It has
been apprehended that in " lengthening its cords" it may do the
very opposite of "strengthening its stakes." Have we not heard
suggestions, when embarrassment at times has beset the financial-
path of Churches, that the wisest thing they could do would be to
curtail missionary expenditure, that the empty exchequer might be
replenished? Have not those ministers and congregations among
ourselves, who have declined at any time to make the collections
ordered by the Church, acted on this principle, (as they conceive, a
most obvious one,) that the fewer their contributions to Missions,
the fuller would be their own treasury — that the less they gave to
others, the more they would have to themselves. And yet, " this
their wisdom is their folly." Those who cherish such views show
that they do not understand either human nature or the Gospel —
that there is a depth in its divine philosophy which they have not
sounded — a force in spiritual dynamics, of whose existence they are
unaware. So long as a Church subserves this great end of her or-
ganization, she is safe. The more Missionary her attitude, the
more secure may she be of the protection and favour of God. Pa-
radoxical as it may seem to the shrewd and calculating worldling —
her prodigality is her security. " Scattering, yet increasing/' the
more profuse ber outlay in heaven's cause, the more large and
bountiful her returns of spiritual prosperity.
But lastly, we should not " sell the truth," for it alone is the re-
generator of nations. The speculations of our modern system-mon-
gers and world menders would be fruitful subjects for ridicule, were
they not such deplorable exemplifications of human folly. We are
ready to say, as we meditate on them, What a world of trouble these
men would have saved themselves and us, and what fund of in-
genuity might they have had to apply in other directions, had they
but taken the Bible for their guide, and looked at human nature as
it is! Had they done so, how could they have dreamed the dream
of a human perfectibility apart from the Gospel, or have once irh-
agined that the reciprocities of commerce, and the refining influen-
ces of literature and civilization, could reclaim and sanctify a race

alienated from God and "dead in trespasses and sins?'' It is told
that a chief of a remote and barbarous tribe, struck with the proofs
that were given him of the might, and wealth, and magnificence of
this nation, in sending an embassy to our Queen, in treated that she
would inform him what was the source of Britain^s greatness, and
strength, and prosperity. The answer he sought was conveyed to
him in the presentation to him by the Sovereign, of a copy of the
English Bible. Whether this be true or not, the principle embod-
ied in it is indisputable, for it is Divine. The story but illustrates
what all Scripture declares, and all history confirms, that "righteous-
ness exalteth a nation.''
And now, fathers and brethren, in drawing to a close, let me ad-
dress to you a few words which, I would fain hope, may come under
the apostle's designation of "present truth." We occupy, I believe,
as a Church, at this moment, as high a vantage-ground for accom-
plishing those high ends which Churches are organized to promote,
as any other in Christendom. We are sprung of a good stock and
lineage, and boast a long line of "noble ancestors." We are planted
among a race whom the Creator has endowed with rare qualities —
with naturally fine impulses and generous sympathies, and which
has given to the world and to history as bright a galaxy of " repre-
sentative men" as adorns the annals of any other. We enjoy an
alliance with the state, such as a Scriptural Church should enjoy —
an alliance which of late we have sought, and that successfully, to
strengthen ; and which, the experience of but the last few months
attests, in being strengthened, only augments our influence, without
compromising our principles. Our principles as a body are now
known to all — principles with which the illustrious name of Wil-
liam of Orange is identified for all time — principles w^hose watch-
words are toleration — progress — reform — constitutional Govern-
ment — civil and religious liberty. We are a Church united in doc-
trine, and the endless squabblings of creedless nondescripts around
us bear testimony to the importance and necessity of maintaining
a " form of sound words." We are a church at peace among our-
selves — not the hollow peace begotten by despotism on servility,
but the peace which has purity for its basis, and " the wisdom that
is from above" for its prompting impulse. Our people have risen
to the true appreciation of the grandeur of the Gospel ministry,
and are pouring their offerings into the Lord's treasury, not only
to extend its blessings abroad, but to sustain it in efficiency at home.
We see, at the present time, an eager desire for knowledge perva-
ding all classes of the community ; and at this very time we see the
providence of God directing that public funds, misapplied and
squandered for centuries, shall be used as they were designed, for
the true education of the people. And at this very juncture it is
that a noble Presbyterian College, the gift to us of the pious dead,
rears its august front on a spot instinct with " stirring memories"
of the past, and reflecting its graceful towers in a stream which
once bore on its bosom the bark that brought freedom to our fa-
thers. See we not in this the finger of God pointing us to duty —

telling us to arise, and on that ground where St. Oolumba once
taught, and preached, and prayed, and was "a light to lighten''
Western Europe, to train up hosts of ingenuous youth to go forth
to illume distant lands, and at home to be a blessing to unborn
generations of Irishnnen? And now, amid all these means, and
openings, and appliances, the Spirit of God is speaking to us from
that distant Continent where our common Presbyterian i&m has
struck its roots most deeply — to which so many of our kindred
have gone, and where so many of our friends have found a grave.
He is telling us that His omnipotent grace is still what it was at
first — that the Gospel is "the power of God unto salvation," and that
" a nation may be born in a day."
Brethren, the Divine Spirit works by means. And among the
chiefest agencies he employs, is the preaching of the word. *'It
f>leases God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that be-
ieve." It is the distinction and glory of the Presbyterian Church,
that she has always accorded its due Scriptural prominence to this
mighty instrumentality. Her strength has been, not in gorgeous
ceremonial, or dreary ritualism, but in the preaching of "Christ and
him crucified." Her spirit is that which prompted Paul to exclaim —
" Christ sent me, not to baptize, but to preach the Gospel."
But let us not forget that there is another great instrumentality
which God has put within our reach — we mean prayer. And it is
a fresh and pregnant testimony to the power of this means, in com-
bination with the preaching of the Word, that to nothing else can
be traced the great awakening that has recently taken place in
America. The doctrines of grace — the doctrines of the old Calvin-
istic theology — have been fully and faithfully proclaimed ; and men
and women, roused by disastrous providences to see the vanity of
the world, have called upon God in prayer : and to these means,
and to these alone, have the signal evidences of the power of grace
that have been vouchsafed been universally attributed.
Do the people of the Irish Presbyterian Church pray — in the
closet, in the family, and in the great Congregation — ^that the minis-
try among them may be blessed? We say to them, as did the
apostle to the Church, "Brethren, pray for us." Oh! let "prayer
be made without ceasing by the Church unto God" for us. Yea,
let all of us — pastors, elders, and people — seek that the God of our
fathers would "revive his work" among us. Let us **cry mightily"
to Him with whom is "the residue of the Spirit." — "Awake,
awake, put on strength, O arm of the Lord; awake, as in the ancient
days, in the generations of old I "

THE FRBSBYTSBIAN CHURCH IN IRELAHD.
fottknlrtrrii, |rtlanh
The siege of Londonderry will always form a prominent event
in history. It lasted from the 7th December, 1688, till the 12th
August, 1689. Upon the result of the contest between the Protes-
tants and Soman Catholics, at that eventful period, it depended —
whether James the Second was to be restored, or William of glori-
ous memory, to sit upon the throne of England.
The cause of freedom and of Protestantism was now trembling
in the balance. All parties felt the importance of the struggle, and
James, himself, rode under the walls, and remained for a lengthened
period in this neighbourhood, for the purpose of cheering his fol*
lowers, and leading them in their attacks upon the city. But, the
Protestants who had taken refuge within the walls were determined
to maintain to the last their liberties and religion. The fire of the
enemy spread desolation and death among them — famine swept
multitudes away, and their Governor Lundy basely deserted them;
but still they united in the rallying cry of **No Surrender."
At length the vessels sent by William from England forced
their way up the river — the defenders of Derry rent the air with
shouts of gratitude and joy ; the enemy raised the siege, and the
whole army of James departed hopeless and disappointed. The
great majority of the defenders of Derry were Presbyterians ; at
least eleven out of every fourteen being of that denomination.
Dr. Hopkins, the Diocesan Bishop, used all his influence to prevent
the gates from being shut against the troops of James,' but his ad-
vice having been rejected he fled to England. Eight Presbyterian
Ministers were within the walls, four of whom died or were killed,
during the siege. Notwithstanding their efforts and sacrifices in
the cause of civil and religious liberty, Presbyterians were not at
first allowed to have a place of worship within the walls of the city;
and the Presbyterian Aldermen and Burgesses who refused to take
the sacramental test in the Episcopal Church were expelled from
the corporation. Times of greater liberality followed, and a par-
cel of ground was at length procured within the walls on which a
Presbyterian Church was erected. This site is peculiarly interest-
ing, for during the continuance of the siege it had been used as a
place of interment for the slain. Several hundreds had been buried
in this spot. On account of the emergency of the times, and the num-
ber of deaths, there was little formality observed at the funerals of
the brave and good. Their remains were indiscriminately commit-
ted to the grave, in that place which has ever since been dear to
many a heart.
The first church erected on that spot was replaced by the present
building, which was opened for public worship in 1777. It is one
of the most spacious churches in connection with the General As-
sembly of the Presbyterian Church of Ireland; and is capable, with
its double galleries, of accommodating 1800 persons. The duty of

making suitable provisions for the education of the young was re-
[^ cognized by the congregation at a very early period; and to the
present day, several schools, both in the city and the rural districts,
are connected with it, and superintended by its ministry. It was
in this church that the General Assembly held its annual meeting
in 1868 — a meeting distinguished by the delightful harmony that
prevailed, the Missionary spirit that was manifested, and the ar-
dent welcome accorded to the distinguished foreigners who attended
as deputies from the churches on the continent of Europe.
THE REFORMED
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN IRELAND.
The Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian Church in Ireland
met in the Reformed Presbyterian Church, Londonderry, June 28th,
1858, and was opened with a discourse by Rev. Prof. Dick, from
Ps. Ixxiv. 22. "Arise God. plead thine own cause."
After the discourse the sessions were constituted with prayer, by
the Moderator, Rev. Wm. Toland.
The roll of members was made out by the clerk.
Rev. Robert Nevin was elected Moderator.
Reports were received from the Presbyteries, composing the
Synod, — also from Committees on the Causes of Fasting and Thanks-
giving; on the History and Records of the Church; Home Mission;
Ministerial Support; Education; and Colonial Mission; which were
adopted.
Rev. Thomas Cathcart, of Southern Presbytery, died, aged 82,
ordained in 1806.
The Synod adjourned ; the next meeting will be held in Belfast,
June 27th, 1859.

From a very early period the " Society People," from whom the
Covenanters, or Reformed Presbyterians of the present day, claim
ecclesiastical descent^ were represented in and around the ancient
city of Derry.
Many such took refuge within its walls, during the celebrated
siege of 1688, and assisted in its memorable defence ; and amongst
these was their only minister in Ireland at the time, David Houston;
a man whose character, it is believed, has been much misrepresented;
inasmuch as the historiographers of that and subsequent periods
were all amongst the interested opponents of the man, or his princi*
plea, or both. His vindication has yet to be written.
A society continued to exist, although the numbers were few,
^^joyi"g the occasional ministrations of such men as the Rev. Wil-
liam James, and the Rev. Samuel Alexander, of Bready; until at
length a house of worship was erected, in 1811. At that time, the
Rev. John (afterwards Dr.) Alexander, a native of the environs,
and who had been ordained in 1803, was minister of the congrega*
tion, worshipping at Drimahoe, or Fanghan, only two miles distant,
in the parish of Glendermott ; and the people of Derry constituted
a branch of his charge. He remained minister of this united con-
gregation till 1825, when the pastoral relation was, by request, dis-
solved. *
The following year he received a call to Belfast, where he was
installed, and laboured till his death, at a very advanced age.
The existence of the Reformed Presbyterian Congregation of
Londonderry, as a separate organization, dates from the last men*
tioned year, viz: 1826.
In 1881, the Rev. G. T. Ewing, a minister from the United States
of America, visited Ireland on account of his health. The people
of Derry called him to become their pastor, but, inasmuch as he had
the thought of returning soon to the United States, he did not ae-
cept the call. He consented, however, to become their constant
supply for one year. This arrangement was repeated from time to
time for some years ; but, in 1840, Mr. Ewing received a call from
Grange, near Cookstown, which he thought proper to accept, and
there he was installed. In this year a disruption took place in the
Reformed Presbyterian Synod of Ireland ; as the result of a contro-
versy which had greatly agitated the church for about ten years^ on
the subject of the power of the Civil Magistrate circa Sa^ra. One
Presbytery out of four, the Eastern, seceded and organized a sep»>
rate community, now the Eastern Reformed Presbyterian Synod.
This unhappy event led to divisions in several congregations. A
minority in the Derry congregation sympathized with the separat-
ists, but did not actually secede until the congregation had taken
some steps towards obtaining a settled pastor. About twenty-five
communicants then left, and being joined by others from neighbour-

ing congregations, chiefly from the Fanghan, a new congregation
was organized. Having amongst them the only surviving Trustee
of the congregation's property in the city, the attempt was made at
law to wrest this from the majority. When costs had been incurred
on either side, amounting to about the value of the property, the
suit was terminated by mutual consent, the majority retaining the
property. The new congregation built a church on the eastern
side of the Foyle, in that part of the borough known as the Waterside;
and had for their first minister, Rev. Jacob Alexander, second son of
Dr. John Alexander, of Belfast; who, in 1854, resigned his charge,
and went over to the Free Church of Scotland.
To return to the old congregation : — on the 1st February 1842,
Mr. Robert Nevin, a Licentiate of the Northern Presbytery, was or-
dained iheir pastor, and still sustains that relationship. The house
of worship, which was in, or rather off Fountain Street, immediately
outside the city wall, at that part where the Protestant Cathedral
stands, although not an old building, was in bad condition. The
foundation had not been properly laid, and the walls were rent, and
held together with iron rods. Never comfortable, it had got sadly
out of repair in various ways, and even dangerous. In the progress
of the city, too, the locality had come to be considered very much
out of the way. In 1857 a site was procured in the most improv-
ing part of the city, and with aid from many sympathising friends,
both in Great Britain and America, the congregation were enabled
to erect the present elegant and commodious little church. It was
opened for public worship on the first Sabbath, Januarj, 1853. A
fifchool-room is adjoining; and the site includes ground for a manse,
which, it is hoped, will be erected forthwith.
Like many other congregations in Ireland, that of Londonderry
has lost members by emigration, as well as other causes. Notwith-
standing this, and the great shock sustained by the division in 1842,
it has made some steady progress. Then the communicants num-
bered only 75 ; now they are 100.
The accompanying engraving is a favourable specimen of the
progress of modern architects in the study of Ecclesiastical Gothic.
The broken outline, the light and shade, the peculiar character of
the tower, with its mansard roof, the variety and yet the harmony
of the details, all combine in producing an exquisite picture. The
building was designed by a rising young English architect, a near
relative of the celebrated Dr. Raffles of Liverpool; and we are glad
at being able in this year's issue of the Almanac to show professional
men, the ministry, and elders of churches generally, what may be
accomplished by talent and taste, in securing a pleasing structure,
which will ornament any landscape, and delight the eye, while the
cost of erection will not be more than would be required to build an
unsightly edifice.

The sessions were constituted with prajer, and Rev. George

The history of this congregation is to a great extent the same as
that of the Reformed Presbyterian Church in Britain, as a whole.
When the storm of persecution in the seventeenth century swept
over the Presbyterian Church in Scotland, and the north of Ireland,
and many yielded to its violence; a few God-fearing, faithful men
held fast its testimony for truth, and separated themselves from
their more timorous and time-serving brethren. When the revolu-
tion of A. D. 1688 put a stop to that persecution, it might have
been hoped that the necessity for continuing such separation wonld
also have ceased. But it proved otherwise. The "Revolution Set-
tlement" of the Church, as it was termed, was not what the ardent
adherents of the Covenanted Reformation of A. D. 1638-49 desired,
or could conscientiously accept When the great body, therefore,
of the Scottish and Irish Presbyterians oomplied with that settle-
ment, these held the position which they had still kept; and first
in their "Societies for prayer and religious conference," and af-
terwards under a regular ministry, and in settled congregations,
maintained their dissent. They never regarded themselves as Seoe-
ders. They held the position of the Church in her purest time of
reformation: and while others departed from that position and
from those who maintained it, they 'seceded from none.
It was in this way that the Reformed Presbyterian Church was
organized in Ireland, and probably also in Collybackey. Several
of her ministers, Alexander Peden and David Houston for example,
preached in the immediate neighbourhood, in the close of the 17th
century, and the beginning of the 18th, and doubtless, had many
adherents and organized societies. No minister was settled over

them, however, till the year 1788, when the Rev. Wm. Gibson was
ordained at Kells, as pastor of the united congregation of Kell-water
and Culljrbackey. The churoh-bailding in the latter plaee was erec-
ted under his ministry, about the year 1796.
This congregation remained under bis care till the year 1797,
when, in consequence of his being connected with the society of
^'United Irishmen," he was compelled to fly to the United States of
America. Some years after, the Bev. Wm. Stavely, who had been
minister for sometime in Co. Down, was installed as their pastor,
and by his energetic labours, and his faithful and eloquent exhibit-
tions of the truth, was instrumental in greatly adding to their
strength. It was here, that in May, 1811, the Synod of the Reformed
Presbyterian Church in Ireland was first constituted. About the
year 1812, it was felt that the united congregation was too large
for the care of a single minister. The two church-buildings were
at a distance of about nine miles, and the people scattered over a
district of some thirty miles in distance. It was therefore divided
into two parties: each presented a call to Mr. Stavely. He aecepted
that from Kells-water, although the smaller of the two. Al\er a
long struggle, during which they were transferred from the care of
the Northern to that of the Eastern Presbytery, the congregation
succeeded in obtaining the settlement over them, of the Bev. Clarke
Houston, September 15th, 1818. His great talents, his upright
efaaracter, his sincere piety, and polished manners greatly en-
deared him to bis people, and rendered him, duriog the thirty-four
years of his pastorate, eminently useful.
It was under his ministry that the unhappy difiEerenoes sprung up,
which led to a division in tbe Reformed Presbyterian Church. The
leaders of what ultimately proved the majority of the Synod had
maintained the propriety, in a well ordered government, of consider-
ing heresy as a civil ofienee,and of punishing it as such. The min*
isters on the other side strongly condemned this principle. With
tbe latter Dr. C. Houston took bis place from the first, and with the
exception of a few individuals, his congregation took the same view\
In tbe year 1840, they declined the authority of the Synod, and
took their place in the Eastern Presbytery (now the Eastern Synod)
of the Beformed Presbyterian Church. In November, 1852, Dr.
Houston died.
The Bev. John G. McVicker, who bad been for upwards of two
^ears minister in Newtonarda, Co. Down, was installed their pastor
m Cullybackey, August 9th, 185S. He still occupies that position.
In 1854-5 a neat commodious manse was built by the congrega-
tion, at an expense of over £300. The number of communicants is
about 350. Few congregations have contributed more largely to
the building up of the sister churches in America, or have given
more of their members to the Christian ministry.
The names of Stavely, Close, Austin, Houston, and others in Brit-
ain, and those of the late Dr. S. B. Wylie, of Philadelphia, and Dr.
J. Black, of Pittsburg, and others in America, are proof of this.
Tbe session of the congregation consists of fifteen elders.

THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN ENGLAND.
The Synod of the Presbyterian Church in England met in the
Grosvenor Square Presbyterian Church, in Manchester, on Monday,
April 19th, 1858, and was opened with a discourse by the retiring
Moderator, Eev. Wm. M. Thompson, of Woolwich, from Col. i. 28,
29. "Whom we preach, warning every man and teaching every
man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect ia
Christ Jesus," &c., &c.
The sessions were constituted with prayer.
The Bev. W, M. Thompson, Moderator, in resigning the office
into the hand of his brethren, made a short address, and in conolu*
sion, nominated as his successor, Kev. Thomas McCrie, D. D.,
LL. D., Prof, of Theology in the College of the Presbyterian Church
in England. Dr. McCrie was elected unanimously.
The Presbyteries made their usual reports, and various subjects
were introduced, viz: — Education Scheme; Home and Foreign
Missions; College; State of Religion ; Chaplains in the army; and In-
strumental music in churches. This last subject called out a debate
of several sessions, and a resolution condemning the use of organs
was adopted, by a vote of 72 in favour, against 62 opposed to the
resolution ; a dissent from the decision of Synod, signed by 48
members, was entered upon the minutes, and replied to by a com*
mittee appointed for that purpose.
The Synod adjourned, with prayer, praise, and the apostolio
benediction.
The next session will be held, April 18th, in Begent Square
Church, London.

THE FftSSBTTKRIAN CHURCH OF ENGLAND. 811
f istoriral Sketrl at tjjt |ttsbstnian C^nrc^ ai
(SnglanK
When, about the year 1645, the Presbyterian Church became the
established Church of England; it was intended to constitute a
Synod in each county, and a General Assembly for the whole king-
dom. The dictatorship of Cromwell, however, and the interference
of the army in ecclesiastical, as well as civil affairs, with other cir-
cumstances, prevented the complete execution of this project ; and
only in London and Lancashire were Synods ever formed.
In Lancashire there were at an early time nine Presbyteries; and
in the neighbouring counties of Chester, Derby, York, Northumber-
land, and Westmoreland, several were also instituted. The Pres-
byteries of Manchester and Newcastle-upon-Tyne were established
in 1646 and 1648, respectively, under two ordinances of parliament.
The first meeting of the Synod of Lancashire was held in 1649.
The troubles which soon after arose in the commonwealth, entirely
broke up the Presbyterian system in England. After the revolu-
tion settlement of 1688, it survived in a few detached places in the
midland and northern counties. But its Presbyteries exercised no
efficient control over other congregations or ministers. The union
which was afterwards attempted in the year 1691, between the
Presbyterians and the Congregational ists, upon terms which com-
promised the distinctive character of the former, and reduced the
governing Presbytery to the condition of an association of minis-
ters for mutual counsel, with no power of discipline over its mem-
bers ; this union led in a short time to the downfall of the purely
English Presbyterian Church.
Not long after that time Socinianism spread like a desolating
blight over the Churches of the reformation generally, and finding
no resistance in the Congregationalist form to which old ortho-
dox Presbyterian ism was reduced, took possession of almost the
entire dissenting body in England.
It is well to note that the old Presbyterian Church of England
ceased to be Presbyterian, before it became Socinian, and that it
was under the system of Independency, that it degenerated from
the faith once delivered to the fathers.
In the northern counties Socinian doctrines did not so generally
prevail Their proximity to Scotland enabled the churches to ob-
tain ministerial supplies from Scotland, at least a professedly or-
thodox kind, and sometimes truly evangelical. The people of those
parts, besides, held by the old metrical psalms of David and the
Assembly's Shorter Catechism. Among the shepherds of the
mountains and the farmers of the straths and vales, the powerful
and pure evangelical writings of the Presbyterian and Puritan
teachers of Scotland and England were too read, pondered, and cher-
ished. From these causes a savour of godliness lingered in the
north; and the Presbyterian Church maintained in some senso its
ground, and now flourishes in a greatly revived state.

312 PRESBYTKBIAN HISTORICAL ALMANAC.
Immigration from Scotland to the cities and towns of England
led, about the beginning of the century, to the formation of Scottish
Churches in many places of importance. In London, Liverpool,
and Manchester, large and influential congregations were formed.
These were formed into Presbyteries in London and Lancashire,
and were for the most part placed in the closest possible connection
with the National Church of Scotland. Their desire also for com-
plete Presbyterian organization led them to seek for an actual in-
corporation with the Scottish Church. In the year 1833, we find
the four English Presbyteries of London, Lancashire, the North-
west, and Newcastle, presenting each a petition to the General As-
sembly in Scotland, praying for connection with, and the superin-
tendence of, that Supreme Court. Legal difficulty prevented this
connection. The Scottish Church deemed that it had no power to
stretch its jurisdiction into England, The Assembly, however, in
1835, recommended that those Presbyteries in England whose min-
isters were licentiates of the Church of Scotland, and whose elders
signed its formulas, should form themselves into a Synod, assuring
them that when this was done the Assembly would recognize them
as a branch of the church. On further inquiry, however, it became
manifest that the National Church of Scotland had no power to ad-
mit into union with itself, congregations and Presbyteries located
in England. The General Assembly of Scotland did therefore pass
a resolution in 1839, acknowledging in the most unqualified terms,
the independence of the English Presbyterian Church, and offering
friendly intercourse by means of deputations. In the year 1840, the
Synod in England accepted the office, and as an independent sister
Church maintained this relation to the National Church of Scotland,
till the celebrated disruption in 1843.
Properly speaking, the present Presbyterian Church in England,
although the representative of old English Presbyterianism, was not
organized until May 4th, 1836. At this date a connection of the
ministers and elders of the northern counties, consisting of twelve
ministers and two elders, met, and by solemn prayer constituted
themselves into a Synod, adopting " in the fullest and most unquali-
fied manner the Westminster Standard, as received by the Church
of Scotland, in doctrine, discipline, government, and worship."
In 1840, the Presbyteries of London and Newcastle were received
into the Synod, which swelled its numbers to thirty-six ministers
and thirteen elders. Since that time three other Presbyteries hav(
been formed, and the church now consists of seven Presbyteries am
about eighty churches.
The disruption in Scotland in 1843, as might be expected, con-
siderably affected the Presbyterian Church in England. With the
exception of three ministers in London, one in Liverpool, and two
in Northumberland, the whole church declared itself ott the side
of the Free Church of Scotland, and resolved henceforth to place
itself in friendly relations with it; and to acknowledge it as the
sister Church of Scotland. In this position the Presbyterian Church
in England stffdida at the present day. It is not incorporated with

the Free Church of Scotland, but is only in friendly communion
with it* This fraternizing with the Free Church led, as might be
expected, to serious controversies about church property, in several
parts of England. Many of the Church Trusts bound the property
to some sort of connection with the State Church of Scotland. As
however, the object of these binding clauses was not to place the
churches under the jurisdiction of the Church of Scotland, but to
secure purity of doctrine and discipline, it was thought that as
that church could not exercise Presbyterial superintendence over
congregations in England, no just claims could be set up to deprive
congregations of their property, simply on the ground of holding
communion with the Free Church. But in this they were disap-
pointed. In two cases the congregations were, by hostile Trustees,
forcibly dispossessed of property which their fathers had held for ages.
In other cases actions were commenced before the civil courts by in-
dividuals, or by a minority of Trustees, for the purpose of obtaining
possession of Church property on behalf of the State Church of Scot-
land. The worst case of this kind was that in connection with the
congregation now worshipping in Grosvenor Square Church, under
the ministry of the Bev. Alexander Munro, D. D., in which the
Synod of 1858 held its meeting, and of which the annexed plate
is an admirable representation.
The history of this church and congregation is interesting. It
was organized in the year 1832, by those residents in Manchester,
who professed adherence to the doctrines and discipline of the
Westminster Confession of Faith, as held by the Church of Scotland.
The reverend father, who now occupies its pulpit, was then unani-
mously called to be its first minister. By his assiduous pastoral
labours, faithful and able evangelical preaching, and high literary
attainments, he gathered around him a large and wealthy congrega-
tion, and attained to a position of great influence among the general
community of the city. In 1843 he took part with the Free Church,
and his congregation resolved all but unanimously to sustain and fol-
low him. In taking this step many difficulties of a kind, painful
and perplexing, had to be encountered. The uncertainty of being
able to retain a fine place of worship, built by the congregation, at
a cost of $35,000, and the violent agitation with which men^s minds
were perplexed, rendered the position of the minister by no means
enviable. Mr. Munro however held on his course with steady de-
termination. It was thought that although a clause in the first deed
connected the property with the Church of Scotland, that yet the
Trustees, who, with the exception of one, were favourable to the
Free Church, would be able to retain possession. It was supposed
that the title on which the ground had been purchased was not in
conformity with the English law of Mortmain. Under this belief
a new conveyance of the land was obtained, and a new Trust was
formed which placed the church under the jurisdiction of the Pres-
byterian Church in England.
. In the year 1845, however, one of the old Trustees, and two or
three occupiers of pews, instituted an action at law to obtain poa-

session of the property. This was a most formidable and costly
chancery suit. The ablest lawyers at the bar were engaged upon
it ; the evidence was most voluminous, and the suit lasted till the
end of 1848. The Lord Chancellor finally decided the case against
the congregation, on the ground that as Mr. Munro had been de-
clared, by the Presbytery of Edinburgh, no longer a minister of the
State Church of Scotland, he could not, according to the terms of
the old Trust, continue to occupy the pulpit of the church. The re-
sult of this decision was that the entire congregation of about 800
persons, with the exception of twenty-one, left the building, in which
for sixteen years they had worshipped, and which they themselves
had erected. After the first decision, from which an appeal was ta-
ken, the parties to the suit made a forcible and violent entrance
into the church. The disorderly act was, however, properly re-
buked. On the Sabbath afl»r, Mr. Munro, in probably alluding to
this event, said: — "I came to you as a minister holding firmly and
sincerely the doctrines and principles of the Bible and the West-
minster standards. To these standards I have ever adhered in
principle and practice, and these, as Almighty Ood may help me,
I shall, to the end of my course, continue to maintain and defend.
Shortly after coming here as a minister of your choice, I was the
first to assemble the ministry of the district to form a Presbytery,
and subsequently was the first to summon together the various
Presbyteries throughout this country, to form the Synod of the
Presbyterian Church in England, so that humble as I am, my his-
tory is bound up with the history of that Synod and Church, what-
ever may be its future appointed condition in the providence of God."
For two years after their ejection from the church, the congrega-
tion worshipped in the Hall of the Mechanics' Institute. In the
meantime, with the utmost enthusiasm, and with large liberality,
measures were taken for the erection of a new building. A most
suitable and central site was obtained in Grosvenor Square, at a
cost of $10,000. '
On the 12th of September, 1849, in the presence of a large assem-
bly of the citizens of Manchester, Robert Barbour, Esq., one of the
elders, and a liberal and tried friend of the church, laid the corner-
stone, with all due solemnity. The building is a very spacious and
handsome one. Its architecture is Roman Corinthian, and is both
striking in design and admirable in all its details. It is built of
Eolished sand-stone from the Yorkshire quarries, the best in the
ingdom; and is regarded as one of the fi^nest erections in the city.
It is seated for about 900 persons, contains a spacious lecture-room
on the ground-floor, and behind there are two beautiful and spacious
school rooms: one for girls, and another for boys. The two cupolas
on the front angles of the building give a marked expression to the
fabric, and denote at once its ecclesiastical character. The cost of
the building, including the site, was about $70,000, the whole of
which has already been paid. It was completed on the 22d Decem-
ber, 1850, and opened by the Rev. Dr. Duff of India, with a ser*
moQ of remarkable power. The Rev. Dr. Hamilton of London,
k

and the Rev. Dr. Candlish of Edinburgh, took part along with the
Rev. Dr. Munro, in the opening services. It is worthy of note that
an American citizen, the late Amos S. Thornton, Esq., was one of
the most liberal subscribers, and as treasurer of the building-com-
mittee, took the deepest interest in the progress of the new church.
He devised and recommended many improvements in its arrange-
ments ; and shortly before his lamented death he succeeded, by his
solicitations and endeavours, in perfecting in a style of great
beauty its interior decorations. Himself an elder and pillar in the
church, it was his delight by works of piety and kindness to pro-
mote the interests of true religion. This congregation is one of the
oldest, largest, and wealthiest in the Presbyterian Church of England.
Its elders and deacons are men of high respectability in the city.
It supports a school for boys, and another for girls, in which up»
wards of 200 children receive a first-class education. It contrib-
utes largely to all the missionary objects of the church. Connected
with it there are a young men's society, and a ladies' benevolent
society. It maintains a large and efficient Sabbath-school, and its
members are never behind in promoting any good work. The
Rev. Dr. Munro is the first minister of the Church, and has laboured
in this important field, with little relaxation, for nearly twenty -five
years. As a preacher, he is vigorous, clear, logical, affectionate, and
evangelical. As a pastor, he has few equals and no superiors. He
is universally respected and esteemed. The Synod of 1858 met
in this church. Its proceedings were of the deepest interest. There
was an unusually large attendance of ministers and elders. The
question of the admissibility of organs, as aids in conducting the
public praise of God, was to be discussed and determined. It was,
after a warm and lengthened debate, decided that instrumental
music should not be allowed in the churches under its care, but
that the two congregations of Liverpool and Warrington who bad
already introduced organs into their service, should not be dis-
turbed in their use. Other questions pertaining to the welfare of
the church at home and in China, in which country the Presbyte-
rians of England have a vigorous mission, — were considered with
interest and determined with wisdom. The church in England is
not large, but it is vigorous, laborious, and faithful. It has many
difficulties in that great prelatic country to contend with. It fs
striving to strike its roots into the soil, and to attain to its ancient
eminence and renown in the country. Among its most gifted
ministers is the Rev. Dr. Hamilton of London, the author of several
works of the highest excellence, the most of which are well known
in the United States. The Rev. Dr. McCrie, not unworthy son
of the celebrated historian of "Knox," is the principal of its college;
and the Rev. Dr. Lorrimer, the able author of the "Life and Times
of Patrick Hamilton, the Martyr," is one of its professors. While
this church has much to discourage it, there is yet much in its past
history and present position to sustain its hopes and to quicken
its zeal in the great work of promoting the Redeemer's kingdom, in
which it has been long and faithfully engaged.

^^ After a brief Btatement in relation to the enterprise of Mr. Jaques,
and its successful resultSy the following resolutions were unanimously
adopted, viz. :
1. Resolved, That the Presbytery haye learned with great pleasure, that Mr.
John Jaques, an Elder of the church in Wafihingtonville, has undertaken the mannfao-
tore of pure and unadulterated wine from native grapes, with special reference to
•applying an article suitable, in every respeot, to be employed by Uie churches in the

2. Resolved, That the Presbytery do earnestly recommend to aU the churches under
their care, that they adopt the use of the pure wine of Mr. Jaques, in the solemn
Sacrament above referred to, instead of syrups and wines, for the purity of which
they can have no sufficient guaranty." 0. M. JOHNSON, Slated Clerk,

MEDIA CLASSICAL INSTITnTE,
BLBYEN miles from Philadelphia by Bailroad. The location and snrroandingii for
beautj cannot be snrpassed. The buildings are new, and their arrangement is most oom-
plete, being planned expressly for ednoational purposes. The groundst though within the
borough, are retired, secluded, and ample, corering several acres, and hare an abnndanoe of
slurnbl^ry and shade.
The Institute has been in successful operation for twenty-six years.
Of its numerous students, dnriog that period» nearly sixty hare become Ministers of the
Gospel. Of these, three are now in India, two in ChiDa» and one in Africa.
Many hare distinguished themselves in the Legal and Medical Professions, in the Pro-
fessor's Chair, in the Halls of Congress, and in the various departments of business life.
Two are now Presidents of Colleges.
The following extracts from a few of the numerous business letters* containing similar
sentiments, will indicate the opinions of our patrons: —
The late Hod. JOHN H. CLATTON , Ex-Secretary of State, Ac., says i
'* I cannot express all my thanks for your attention to my boys. They have learned, and
now love to learn. Their fondness for, and attachment to you, are such as gives the best of
guarantees for their ftitnre progress."
H. LATIMER, President of tke Bank of Delaware, says:
"I have to express my thanks for your attention to my sons, and have only to regret
that I have not plaoe4 them at your Institution long since."
ALFRED DVPONT, de Nenonrs, says:
**1 thank -you most cordially for your attention to my boys. Their progress in study is
highly satisfactory."
BEY. I. W. E. HANBT, Portsmouth, Ya., says :— "I am much obliged to yon and fkmily
for the attention and kindness manifested towai^s my son. I have had every confidence in
yourself and son as instructors ; I was glad to observe considerable improvement when
Frederick was last at home. I hope I shall find that he has made as much progreis daring
the session which has just closed."
BBY. aBO. JUNKIN, D. D., whilst President of Lafayette College, after examination of
several pupils from this Institute, for admission to an advanced class, having adverted to
their " thoroughness," ike, says :
** From the superior quality of the specimen, we are prepared to endorse the lot. May the
Good Shepherd watch over yon and your valuable Institution."
A lateraxy Society, meets weekly, for improvement In Debate, Composition, and Declama-
tion.
By the members of this society, " THE OBIENT," a semi-monthly manuscript of about
twenty pages is produced. Two of the members are appointed monthly as editors and pub-
lishers. Originalitif must stamp every article to ensure insertion. It is read in presence of
the family and visitors.

THE " OLD DOMINION '
THB gnht iiiTeiitioii of the day is the OLD DOMINION COFFEB-POT, io which eolTee
can be nuule withoai the least loss of aroma. Bven ordinary coffee, in one of these pots,
makes as good drink as the best old Java in saeh as are oommonly used. Wherever intro-
duced, they have given the most complete satisfaction, and the demand from all parts of the
United States is large, and rapidly increasing.
Vr, Hall, of New Tork, in his Journal </ Health, for
JLilj, 1858, says: *'We commend the Old Domiviom Cor-
rzK-poT to sll lovers of good coffee, as we personally know
that it is one of the *' new things" offered to the public,
in wbioh no imposition is practised, and which has the
^ double vonchers of science and common sense."
The Nete York Atlaa aays : *' We nnheiitaJtingly pro-
|noutiee the 'Old Dominion' th^ thing. Its management is
fn\ iimple that a child can use it, and it saves one-fourth of
the cost of majiing in the old fashioned way."
The JTev York Mercury says : "Virginia, which has sup-
plied us with several Presidents, now steps forward, and
furnishes us with the very best kind of a coffee-pot that was
ever invented. We spesik by the card."
The New York Day Book says : '< The well-known
FrcD eh 'biggin,' which American travelers usnaliy bring
hoi£L0 with them, is worthless by the side of the ' Old Do-
minion/ and we doubt if there can be inch perfect coffee beverage produced, the world
over, as this invention places on our breakfast table daily."
The editor of the (Hirietian Regiefr, Concord, N. H t who has been InxuriatSiig in the
delicious beverage which the Ola Dominion always produces, says : " Not such coffee hare
we tasted since we drank it at the world -renowneid Hippocreae of this inspiring W^rage,
the Gafe des Mille Colonnes in Paris. This Instrument of philosophy may be obtained* Ae."
The New Yorker says : " The ' Old Dominion Coffee-pot' is decidedly a great faistitatiooy
and should at once be voted into every household in the land."
** Its praises are in every woman's month." — S»ring/Uld RtmMioan,
** We would not give up our ' Old Dominion' for four timee its prioct if another eould not
be obtained."'-i7om« Jfoycwtne.
The New Yorker thus endorses the Old Dominion : " It gives us the eotlBe ■tosnglli af
well as the grateful aroma of the berry, and by its simple construction is easy of use, always
in order, and furnishes good coffee at one-fourth less oost than the ohi and nnsalisfaetory
method of boUing."
** The draught which it makes is neotarf compared with that of old-time eofbe-pots.''-^
Spring/Uld (Mass.) Republiean,
The Lad^* Book says : " The Old Domfaaion Is, beyond ana
ever introduced to the public, and the only one by which all the strength and yirtoe oteoMm
The Lad^* Book says : " The Old Domfaaion is, beyond onestion, the best eoffbe maker
oan be extracted by boiling, without the loss of aroma. The arrangement of Ahe boiler la
simple, ingenious, and on accurate, scienUAc principles. We commend it with the ftill
knowledgje that it wUl do all that is claimed for it."
The editor ef the New York Day Book says : '* The economy of the aflktr is not 111
least merit, as it extracts the essence of the berry so completely, that on«4|Bartar lass of tha

THE praotioe of the most •minent phyaieiant of tbe pnMnt time, m well as ibe progroM
of the toienoe of Phyeiologyy foreshadow a new era in inedie«l praetiee. This era oonaiets in
ftdapfcing the prinoiples of physiology so as to meet the spooial demands of disease, instead
of employing drag medieation.
THB MOVBMENT CURE, introdaoed to the attention of the medioal and general pnblio
of this oountry, and practised only by as, fulfills the pnUio demand for a simple, dlree^
. cffectoal, safe, and perfeotly natural mode of orereomiog ehronio infirmities, whether recent
or old. The Movement Cure, or KmssiPATHT, as it is sometimes called, is the application of
exercises, actire and pasiire, in a method entirely scientific, for the parpose of developing
the power of any parlioalor portion of the body. Controlling the ciroalation, directing the
eoune of the nerToos powers, allaying anhealthy nervous sensibility, increasing the respi-
ratory capacity, and the nutritive process, and establishing harmony between the varioas
parts of the body, interrupted in disease. By this means liver, throat, and stomach affee-
tions, nervous diseases, paralysis, constipation, female weaknesses, neuralgia, in all its forma,
incipient consumption, spinal and other deformities, are radically and elieotaally curedi
without drugss by means entirely in the direction of the natural healthy efforts, thus seeur*
ing her intentions in regard to any debilitated function or diseased organ.
This mode of practice has been for some time extensively ased in Sweden, Qermasy, and
other parts of Europe, in several countries of which it is muntained by government patron*
age, and everywhere receives the commendation of scientiflo men. The subscribers, being
educated physicians, have resided in Europe for tbe purpose of perfecting their qualifications
for medioal practice in the most thorough manner. We slso employ, according to circnm-
stances, the resources of the Water Cure, so called, not, as has often been done, for prodae-
ing worse than useless crises, but in direct aid of health ; also the compressed air bath for
consumptives, a control of the dietetie and other habits^ and whatever other hygienio
resources may be indicated.
Pamphlets explaining the treatment and its resaiti will be sent to snch as desire,

MANUFACTURER OF
GATLEY'S ALMADINE,
For the cure of Chapped Skin, Tetter, Erysipelas, Sore Nipples, Ring- Worm, Bums,
Chaffing and Scalding of the skin in children, iic^ &c.
This elerant preparation by a happy combination of ingredients admirably selected, se.
cares the nealtny action of all parts of (he skin, rendering the surface sofl, clean, and
white. It has the sanction of many eminent Physicians. It will keep for years in any
Climate.
A few extracts from many letters. A distinguished clergyman of Philadelphia, says :
** We have all used it at our bouse, and are agreed in pronouncing it the very best thing
lor chapped hands and lips we have ever tried.**
An eminent clergjrman of N. J., says: '^The excellence of your Almadine, tested by
experience in my family, prompts me to return thanks for so skillful a preparation. We
have all used it ibr chapped hands, and have always been cured in a few hours. It has
also been used ibr burns, bruises, dtc, and have found it equally efficacious.**
Another distinguished clergyman of Philadelphia says : ^ It is a most admirable pre-
paration ; in fact it is a quite specific, and if the community knew its value, you would be
overwhelmed with orders. It is a decidedly usefiil article for the toilet-table, and the
nursery, and capable of being used with great benefit in cases of such bums and abra.
sions of the skin as ofien oocur in households."

A eritie in the Philadelphia Evening Journal, says :— Here is a tablet to the memory of
loring, trusting men and women, who, like those that knelt at the Cross, feared not man,
for the loTO they bore to Jesus. And shall we forget the little children ? Ah ! no ; let the
infant martyrs be held in oTcrlasting remembrance; The intense holiness that shed its
ra^ance OTcr the infant Jesus, as he lay in the minger, seems to hoTer like incense
OTer these infant grayes. Since the days of the bloody Mary, who followed in the track
of Nero and Diocletian, no such ruthless persecutor of the Church has risen as the mon-
ster, Nona Sahib. On the parade ground of Cawnpore he shed the blood of i^^fcnt
American Martyrs, Be their names registered in the proudest pages of our history —
let them go forth on the wings of the Press to the ends of the earth. John Edgar Free-
man and Mrs. Elizabeth Freeman ; David Elliott Campbell and Mrs. Maria Irrine
Campbell, and the two children, Albert Osborne Johnson and Mrs. Amanda Joanna John*
son; Robert McMullin, and Sarah Colt McMullia,
We stay not here to write down the details of the book. The history it gires of the
India mutiny— the lights and shades of Indian life, which it contains — these are not
the grounds on which we prise this rolume. It is a memorial of the dead. Let it be
set up in every household of the Church. Let us keep this book with its gallery of
tiiese dead heroes of the Cross, and let it remain In our houses as their memorialt from
generation to generation.
We felt as if the destroyer had entered our own home when we read of the butchery
of those peaceful families. We mourned as for our own dead. And we do feel grateftil,
as for a personal and fitmily farour, to Mr. Wilson for carrying through his book and
publishing it for the church and the world.
The Presbyterian public should especially sustain this effort to embalm their martyred
missionaries in the memory of posterity. But this is not a matter for sect or party.
The whole Church of God suffers when one of her members suffers. We are all the
members of that body which hung upon the Cross.

Rev. Patrick Fairbairn of Glasgow, Seotland, under date of August Slat,
1858, in a private letter, says: — Rev. Dr. Robinson's work I have read with
pleasure and profit. He takes the right plan of trying to elevate the idea
and bring the external organization into vital connection with the divine truth
and principles on which all is based. Were this but more done, we should
have more life among ourselves, and probably, also fewer controversies on
subordinate points with others.
Rev, Charles Hodge, D. D., in the Princeton Review, says : — This work
of Rev. Dr. Robinson is too elaborate, and contains too many important
principles, to be cursorily noticed. It is obviously the production of a strong
and through-going man, and will^ we trust, secure increased attention to the
important subject of which it treats.
Rev. B. J. Wallace, in the Presbyterian Quarterly Review, says : — ^Dr.
R. is a jure divino Presbyterian, and some of his views are rather high-
church for what he seems to consider a dilletante age. It will do any man
good, however, to look at this manly and comprehensive way of considering
a subject, following it out to all its consequences, not shrinking from the
totality of a great idea. Dr. R. considers Presbyteriantsm as a grand whole^
and as the only perfect method of a church.
Rev. C. Van Rensselaer, in the Presbyterian MdffOJsine, says : — ^It is oha^
aeterised by an earnestness and vigour of thought and style, which keep
alive the attention and interest of the reader, and it possesses at the same
time, an argumentative and logical structure adapted to instruct and convinee
the understanding, and will be very benefioial to all our members, especially
to mtnuters, ruling elders, and candidates for the ministry.
Rev. John Leyburn, D. D., in the Prethyterian^ says : — ^The general scope
and central idea of the work may be gathered from the title. The author
takes high ground, and maintains his positions with characteristic vigour.
The value of the volume is greatly enhanced by the Appendix, which con-
tains important documents, which have not been readily accessible.
Rev. A. F. Kemp, in the Canadian Presbyter, says : — It is refreshing to
find that some one is disposed in this age of general church disorder, to hold up
to view, and boldly to maintain the jus divinum of our Presbyterian polity.
We hail this book as a valuable contribution to the literature of the Churoh.
The work is a neat 12mo. volume, 226 pages, cloth, sixty cents.

these faots wider and better known, this medicine has gpradually become the best reliance of
the afflicted, firom the log^cabia of the Ameriean peasant to the palaees of Xuropessi ki2|g»
Throughout this entire country, in every State and Clfy, amd indeed Almost every hudel il
contains, Chbrrt Pbctobal is known as the best of all remedies for diseases of the throat
and lungs. In many foreign countries it is extensively used by their most intelligent physi-
cians. If there is any dependence on what men of every station certify it has done for them ;
if we can trust our own senses when we see the dangerous affections of the lungs yield to it ;
if we oan depend on the assurance of intelligent physicians, whose business is to know; in
short, if there is any reliance upon anything, then is it irrefutably proven that this medioina
does cure the class of diseases it is designed for, beyond any and alliother remedies known to
mankind. Nothing but its intrinsic virtues, and the unmistakable benefit conferred on thons-
ands of sufferers, could originate and muntain the reputation it eigoyR. While many inftdor
remedies have been thrust upon the community, have fkiled, and been discarded, this las -
gained friends by every trial, conferred beneiits on the afflicted they can never forget, and ^1
produced cures too numeroua and remarkable to be forgotten. "" '
AYER'S PILLS
Are particularly adapted to derangement of the digestive apparatus, and diseases arislftg
from impurity of the blood. A large part of all the complaints that alfiict mankind originate
in one of these, and consequently these Pills are found to cure many varietiea of disease.
Subjoined are the statements of some eminent physicians, of their effects in their praotio«*
Foe Javkdicb aitd all Liybb Cohflaikts.
From Dr. Thsodore Bell, of Wme York OHv.^" Not only are your Pills admirably adap*
ted to their purpose as an aperient, but I find their beneflcial effects upon the liver very marhed
indeed. They have in my practice proved more eflfoctual for the cure of biliout eomplaintt
than any one remedy I oan mention. I sincerely rejoice that we have at length a purgative ^
which is worthy the confldenee of the profeesion and the people."
Btspbpsia— Ihdiobbtiov.
From Dr, ff&nry /. JTaoas, of St, Loutt, — *' The Pills yon were kind enough to send me
have been all used in my practice, and have satisfied me Uiat they are truly an extraordinary
medicine. So peculiarly are they adapted to the disesMs of the human system, that they
seem to work upon them alone. I have cured some oases of dypep9ia and %ndigoaiio% witll
them, which had resisted the other remedies we commonly use. Indeed I have experimenteUy
found them to be effectual in almost all the complaints for which you recommend thenu"
DTSBNTBBT— DiABBHCMA— RrLAX.
From Br, J, Q, Cheon, of Ohieago,-^* Tour Pills have had a long trial in my praottee,
and I hold them in esteem as one of the best aperients I have ever found. Their alteratlTe
effect upon the Liver makes them an excellent remedy, when given in small doses for hiUomt
dyent^ry and diarrhxa. Their sugar ooating makes them veiy acceptable and convenient
for the use of women and children."

— Rhbumatism — Gout — Nbubaloia.
From Dr. SnehUl HdU, Philadelphia,^** Yon were righti Doctor, in saying that your Pnl.B
purify the blood. They do that. I have used them of late years in my practice, and agree
with your statements of their effleacy. They stimulate the ezoretories, nnd carry off the
impurities that stagnate in the blood, engendering disease. They stimulate the organs of iB-
KBtion, and infuse vitality into the system. Such remedies as you prepare are a national
uefit, and you deserve great credit for them."

ParaltsU'Fits— &o.
From Dr. Edvard Boyd, of Baltimore. — ** Dbar Dr. Atbr:— I cannot answer yen wkai
complaints I have cured with your Pills better than to say aU that we eoor treat with a pur*
gative medicine, I place great dependence on an effectual cathartic in my daily contest with
disease, and believing as I do that your Pills afford us the best we have, I of course value
them highly.'*
JB^ Most of the Pills in market contain Meroury» which, although a valuable remedy In
skilful hands, is dangerous in a public pill, from the dreadAil consequenoes that frequently
follow its incautious use. These contain no mercury or mineral substance whatever.

HARDING'S EDITIONS
OP TUE
iOif iftilC.
The subscribers have recently stereotyped several new
sets of plates of Family Bibles^ the type of which is clear,
beautiful, and of extra large size.
* The text is the most reliable ; being carefully revised, and
corrected from the Original Edition of the year A. D. 1610,
and the American Bible Society's Standard of 1816.
These editions are printed in the very best manner upon
fine white paper, and illustrated with numerous fine steel plates
and brilliant illuminations, new family record, etc.
The binding embraces every variety of finish, rich Turkey
morocco, antique, and other magnificent styles.
The Publishers desire to furnish a copy of the Sacred
Scriptures to every Family, and only ask a slight advanoe on
each copy over the actual cost of manufacturing in editions of
thousands. The prices of the Pulpit and Family Bibles have
been greatly reduced, and vary from One to Twenty Dollars.
