It is said that the reason why this cause does not
meet with greater favor in the General Assembly, iq
that the basis of the committee is too wide. "CU?
narrow your basis," it is said, "do not attempt to,
provide a general literature for the church, but pub;
lish only books and tracts which are strictly denom
inational, and the church will sustain the commit
tee This is the ground which was taken in the
last General Assembly. "They, (the churches) can
not lie induced," says the Assembly, "to sustain a
rew kteney in doing what Is done by other agencies.
* * * If the Assembly should return to its
plan,"—to its former narrow basis—" it will
be sustained by the churches, and all the means ne
cessary to publish such books *. * * can easily be
procured."
Rev. Dr, FOWLIIR. The gentleman will allow me,
to correct him. What he has just read is not the
deliverance of the Assembly; it is simply a sentence
from the report of the Standing Committee on Pub
lication,
Rev. Dr. DARLING. Well, sir, is it true,, that the
reason that this committee has met wiih so little
favor in the church is its wide basis? I should infer
just the opposite. The more you 'barrovr the basis
upon which any church charity stands, the fewer
will be its friends and the more numerous will be
its enemies. You will awaken immediately en an
tagonism. If this committee should publish nothing
more thau what is strictly and entirely , denomina
tional, we , should be open to the charge of sedtarian
ism. if the Publication Committee issued nothing
except works strictly denominational, we should be
a sectarian body.
But, sir, we have tried this plan. When this corn
tuittee was'organized, it was organized upon this re
stricted basis; we existed fur five years, standing
upor r t ,that basis; and during those five years we
came very near dying; fur at the close of that period
we had but three tracts, but four books, and $3,000
of debt. And these very brethren who now feel
thnt the committee should narrow, its basis, noddle%
if it should do so, the church would be much more
interested in its work, never gave one farthing in
the course of the five years during which the com-'
mittee had this limited basis.
Now, sir, what is the reason that this committee
is creeping along so slowly ? Why is it accomplish
ing. so little? Sir, there is but one reason, and I
desire that we shall meet that reason in this Assetti
bly. Thera is not in the .heart of the church any,
deep feeling of need with regard to the work of this
committee. We do not realize that , the committee
is wanted. Pastors do nut feel it. They do not
take this cause into their pulpits. Let the, cotrvio •
thin be fostered by this Assembly that this cause
demands the interest of the ohuroh—that this Pub
lication Committee is doing a great and good work
for our denomination—and there will be no difficulty
in procuring the funds which may be necessary for
any publications which the committee may desire to
issue.
Now, Sir, we do not any of us doubt that the deno
minations of the Church in their 'collective capacity
should use the press as a great instrumentality for the .
conversion of the world; but r take it upon myself to
say that every separate denomination ought to use the
press—not alone this General Assembly of the Pres
byterian Church, hut every denomination of Christians.
Why should a denomination hive an existence, if it
is ashamed or afraid to preach its 'distinctive polity'
and doctrine 7 and if we preach our polity and our
doctrine, shall we not publish them? We had better
not have any existence than to be ashamed to use the
press in telling the world what we believe , and what we
are. The New School Presbyterian Church, with
every other denomination of Christians in the land, is
bound to use the press. It should unite with every
other denomination in iv, catholic and national litera
ture; but it must have its own religious literature.
And, Mr. Moderator,. if there is any church in Ame
rica that should use the press, it is the church that is
represented in this New School Assembly. There are
special reasons why we should use the press—reasons
that do not apply to any other denomination of Chris
tians: We, Sir, have a peculiar history. We are not
a denomination by our own desire, but by constraint,
Our very existence in this land is a protest against
oppression; and we should never be ashamed to.virite
our history and to give it to the world., And though
we hove not different views of theology" in the sense
in which that phrase is used by the 'Reformed Dutch
Church in the paper which we bane bad under consi
deration, yet we have a distinctive theology in the
sense in which that is interpreted by their delegate on
this gear. 'We have a theology that 'belongs to us.
We believe it to be snore scriptural than any other
theology in this country. It is scriptural,and.yet it is
philosophical; It is a theology that avoids all extremes.
It is Calvinietio, and'yet it is liberal; and it holds just
as firmly to the Standards of the Presbyterian Church
as any other branch of the church.
Now, Sir, there are some peculiar reasons why we
should tell the world what this theology is, and what
this histo is. The denomination represented in this
General Assembly is widely misunderstood. Some
men so read our history that they call us schismatics;
setae so read our theology, that they call ins Pelagi
ens. Why is it that this General Assembly for the
lest twenty-five years has had no correspondence. with
the Scottish Church . ? Why has it had no correspond
ence with the Irish Church? , Why, Sir, though we
have been in sympathy with those brethren on the
other side of the water with reference to the great
questions of national reform---in closer sympathy than
the other branch of the Presbyterian Church—yet
there hes been throughout Sootland.and Ireland a sae-.
picion with regard to the theology of the - New School
branch (so ceded) of the Presbyterian Church; and
one of the distinguished delegates from the, Irish
Church, who came here to collect money, told me in
my own study, that until he reached New York and
conversed with two or three brethien there, he abso
lutely supposed we were all heretics, and even declined
to pre sch in one of our .
. pulpits. 'ln that excellent
book of Prof. Schaff, giving those addresses which were
delivered by-him in Germany, it will be found by the
account he gives of the doctrinal sentiment oflhe
Presbyterian .Church, that that distinguished Profes
sor was this country just long enough to acquire
this prejudice against our theology.
Now, is it not time for us, as ,a denomination, to
use the press—to write our own history,Mad exhibit
our owe theology to the world? Should we not cease
to allow our history to be written, as it has been Writ
ten heretofore, by men who (I speak it. kindly) have
defamed our denomination? As a Publishing Com
mittee, we want to give our history to the world; ,
Sir, let me say to these brethren, that history is lying
now in manuscript, put away in some pigeon-hole in'
the Committee's room; it has been lying there until'
the dust of two or three years has gathered upon it
and fur no other reason on earth than that the churches
will not sustain the operations of this Committee.
But; Mr, MODERATOR, there is another reason—a
peculiar reason—why we as a denomination should
use the power of the .press. What above all things,
does our denomination need? I answer, we need com
pacting; we need vivifying, We are not altogether
homogeneous-though, thanks be to God, as it has
been my privilege in hie providence to see now ten
General Assemblies I have seen this process of com
pacting going on. ! We are becoming more and more
homogeneous; but we have not yet reached the point
that we need to attain. I; here in this city, do not
feel myself bound to that brother in Kansas as I ought.
You, brethren in New York, do riot feel bound to tbose
brethren who are laboring on the distant, frontier as
you might. Why is this? Because we do not 'know
°nen; hof each other. And bow shall we ever attain
this Imowl idge, save as'we use the preset What Will
so effectually bind us all together as a judicious use
Of the press?
Now, I take it upon myself to say, that we do
not, as a denomination, encourage the. ppress in all
its branches as we ought to do. Why, sir, 4o
aroubd in this city from house to house, even to
our Own congregations, and observe the character
of the religious newspapers .which our ,congrega
tions read. What is the food which the minds of
our members derive from the newspaper press?
Is it food that develops Presbyterian muscle and
bone? ,Why, sir more copies of ; nameless news
papers issued in the city of New York are taken in
this city than of our organs. The newspaper preds
which largely circulates amongst our congregations
is a newspaper a press out of sympathy with our de
nomination. , The case is the same, to a great ex
tent, in other departments of the press. Our Sun
day School books, and oven out-theological reviews
—those publications which are.educattng the mind
of our church—are to a great extent out of sympa
thy with us.
Mr. Moderator, I have been bitruyed into a much
longer speech. than .1 clesig.tied:to mtlkOi but I ask
seriously and .prayerfully that my dear eretiaren in
this Assembly will ponder these thoughts, and ask
themselves whethet this Publication Society is not
worth sustaining—whether we ought to Jive its we
have been living-rhether, when they ,A 0 haws

would not, if I could, diminish in the least the re

I always love to plead for their intereets; and I
do not think that their interests Are at all incom
patible with the interests of our own Publication
Society. My catholicity is not abridged by the
profound interest which I ever must feel in the
growth of that denomination in which I was born,
and in which I hope to, die.

MISSIONARY SPIRIT IN AUBURN SEMI-

A.T./BURN, N. T. M 4 -22, 1863
REV. J, W. MEARS,
_bea r your, paper of May, 14th, .
I notice that your correspondent says of Auburn
Seminary. "We almost fear that there is some
lack of Missionary spirit in this most excellent
Institution. Wefeei sure that if there were in
this Seminary a Society of inquiry for Missions,.
Inch we are told there is not,—and if such a .
Society shonid 4Pilie occasional' addfesdes frOm
the right person's, on. the great -themes of Mis
sions," etc.; etc."; it woald'be no &Whack to ;
all its other interests, or clog to its prosperity."
Your correspondent was misinformed. There
is an efficient and flourishing "Society of Inquiry
for Missions," in. the Seminary, which meets,
once a fortnight,iand aystetnaticallisurveys .the
whole field. We have had addresses from such
as we supposed " the right persons," viz. from
such Missionaries as Bushnell, Hamlin, Dwight,
Lindley, and Others. One of our graduates, of
recent years, is in Japan. Another,, who •spent
two years here, and here decided"to'be.a mission-
ary, is now in Afiici. Se.veral others were, deg
rous of going, but,the way was, not open. Mr. :
Bushnell, of the Gaboon mission, was recently
here, and invited such as were disposed to con
sider tile question of going to Africa to meet him
in my study, and four eame,—good men and
true—who are ready to go.whetever the Lord
shall call them. Your correspondent was certain ?
ly misinformed, and drew conclusions not con
sonant with the facts in the case.
The' ord has recently shown., a favor to the
Seminary in opening the heart of an unknown
donor to Add largely to, our Scholarship flind.
Last, week there was put into my hands. for that
purpose, Fifteen thousand dollars, ($15,000.) , I
do not know front Whom; and T am not allowed
to, say through Whom; the gift, is now in the hands
of our Trustees. :May the Lord bless the donqr,
and fulfil the best desires of his heart in the tise

AlouguaTou, I have been commissioned
by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church in the. United States' of America, to at
tend this meeting as its Delegate; and to bear to
you, and,' throngh you, to this venerable GenerSl
Synod, its Christian salutations. Lora senr here
on an errand not merely of formal 'Courtesy, but
of fraternal love:—to strengthen the bonds of ak
feetion"between Us, to renew to You the . aSsurance,
of our syMpathy with you as Christians, and of
our free and hearty recognition of you as bre
„threat beleved,—fellow-heirs of the same olorions
hopes and consolations and fellow-laborers in the
Go pel vineyard It is to me an exceeding
same „s , . -
ly pleasant duty with which my church has thus,
honored Me. I feel assured, in appearing' on
your floor at this time, that I am among friends
and brethren. see around' me My
,own kith
and kin, the children of my Father's honse, and
spring fronr the same . good old fire.shyterian
stock. I love the • cli c ureli of God in all its
branches ; but I loVe the Presbyterian form of
that ehurch-the best. I love it best, because it
is the' true, Apostolic Church ; and' because its
creed, its polity, and its mode of worship are, in
my opinion, most, accordant with the word of
God:. I love it test, because of its intelligent
piety, its massive strength; its broad philantlaro
py,,its co-operative spirit, and its comprehensive
charity towards other denomination& I love it,
because God has so honored it in the high posi
tion he has ever given it on all moral and religi
ons subjects, and the influence he has enabled it
to 'exert on' education, on the sanctification of the
Sabbath, and civil and religions liberty.
You and we are Presbyterians. We belong
to'the iime great Presbyterian family: What
ever arethe peculiar , privileges of Presbyterian
ism' we equally enjoy. Whatever there is of ex
eellencein• the system, and whatever honors God
has put upon it, belong equally . to, us all. We
have a common origin. Our early history is
identical. We have the same Confession of Faith.
We teach the same Catechism to our Children.
We worship God in the same primitive and
unostentatious, 'simplicity. We, have a common
inheritance in the memory of the illustrious• re
formers and martyra and ancient worthies of the
Presbyterian line. Calvin, and Beza, and Fare!,
and Viret, and Hamilton, and Wishart, and
Knox, and, the Milvilles,—men whose record is on
high, and of
,whom' the world was not worthy,
are yours as they are ours
We differ 'in some points,—l will not call
them unimportant. But, Mr. , Moderator, if we
loOk at the points ”on which we agree, we shall
find that in nearly all our great views of Bible
truth and duty, as well ai in' our ecclestiastichi
order and discipline, we are in perfect harmony.
We have, therefore, the stronkeit 'cords to draw
us together, and hold us in holy concord and
Christian brotherhood.
You have long occupied decided ground in
opposition to the system of American . Slavery.
On this, subject, we have ranged ourselves with
yOu, and now, stand by your side. lam happy
to inform you that we are a Free Church, like
yourselves. And I trust we shall have grace to
continue a free ,eburch, and never again to:en
tangle ourselves with the yoke of Seuthern bOnd
age. •We look.upon the systettt of, American-
Slavery,as a monstrous wrong in the sight of
God,—a system that is " evil and only evil, and
that continually :" a system that 4 the guilty
cause of all our national calamities; which is not
only (as ;Wesley expressed it) „ ." the sum --ofall
villaines," bit the fruitful parent of all villaines,
as the present rebellion abundantly proves. With
such a system religion ought•to have nothing in
common : it can have nothing in common:
In this fearful 'struggle ihich • Slave-holders
and their myrmidons have waged for the over
throw of our Government and free institutions,
our Church stands -with -Freedom and,,Govern
ment, to a man. With us there has been no
hesitancy on this' matter,4no division of senti
ment. Fidelity to our country we regard as fidel
ity to God. Not only-treason-against the Govern
ment, but Ipkewarmness in its support, we regard,
heinous Mn. Here we' are "a unit. Nay;
even our border men, in Delaware, and Washing
ton, and Missouri, are among the stanchest
union men in all our ranks..,
• In the 'Presbyterian Historical Almanac and
other, authorities, I find two bodies styled Re
formed Presbyterians, distinguished from each
other as the General Synod and the Synod ;' and
I also find' two bodies styled Presbyteiiin, which
are distinguished by the cabalistic letters, O. S.
and' N. S. We, Sir, like you, have been separat
ed from our brethren. We are the N. 5; which,'
being interpreted means, No Slavery :—the
Presbyterian Church, which has rid itself' of
Slavery, and has no longer any connexion 'with,
it. We have no objection to these letters stand
ing *here they do, as an appendix to our name,
provided only that, this their true and glorious
inrerpretation be given them. They express our
sentiments and our position fairly and truthfully.
I am aware that some have alleged that these
mystic letters mean 'New-School. But we re
pudiate', and evhr have repudiated, this inter
pretation. It misrepresents us; it does us gross
injustice; it implies what is not true. We have
never departed from the faith and 'order of our
fathers. We are as New-Sehool as the New
Testament and as Old School as the Old'Testa-,
went. Our earliest historical records, like your,
own, Mr. Moderator, date back to the - first Chap
ter of , the book' of Genesis. For those records
are historical,—Bishop Coleoo and Thomas
Paine to the contrary notwithstanding.
Mr. Sterling continued his remarks at some
length, presenting interesting historical and
statistical, information in regard to the church
which he represented. When he had closed, it
was On motion, :
" Resolved, That Synod haiie heard with high
satisfaction the report of the delegate frOm the
General Assembly, and that they cordially ; reci
procate the expressions of respect and coartesy
which he has uttered."
The Moderator commanieated this resolution
to the delegate, and responded to his. fraternal
addresas, in the most happy and eloquent words:

In the death of this gentleman, society has lost one,
of its most useful citiitne, the country a devoted
patriot, and the Church f Christ a consistent Mem-
General Forster wasto;rn in the immediate vicinity
,
of Harrisburg, on the 16th of September, 1777, and
was consequentlyin the 86th year of his age at the
time of his death. - In his youth he had the advan
tages of a liberal education, as an . alumnus of Prince
ton College, during the presidency of that great and
good man, the Rev. Dr. Witherspoon. Soon after'
leaving college, he enteired in the study of law,which
.
however, .was soon resigned for the pursuits of busii
ness. In these pursnit4 his long life; with the exeep- •
tion of a few years, wait spent in Harrisburg,. With
its interests, its growth,., and its prosperity, he' has
been most intimately allied. ScarcelY an improve- -
merit has been projectea,and carried out to a suecess
ful completion, - but owos:its success, more or less; -to
his fostering' care. Fos , more than eighteen years,
intimately associated With the financial interests of
the town, as the cashiof the Harrisburg Bank, he
r l
was-enabled by his ad 'ce, and timely assistance, to
aid materiaby in car ing forward' those individual:
and pblic enterprises, which, from a comparatively
insignificant village, has ade Harrisburg the capital
. i
of the Commonwealth, t nd a lirge and flourishing
city. To no. one individu 1 does'this city owe its pre
sent prosperity more that to General Forster.'
While, as a useful cititen, his name will be long
held in remembrance b his fellow-townsmen , they
will long cherish and reference his memory, as a true
and• sincere patriot. ~ V ilisge• pursuing -his studies at
college; the'Western• itiOrrection broke out, which,
for alime, threatened t 'e most disastrous consequen
ces, and greatly excite the solicitude of every good
citizen. Young Forst , animated with 'the love of
his country, and those natitutions of freedom, which
had been born with hi , left the halls of science to
go forth with Washingt n and his associates to' sup
press the rebellion. I the war of 1812, -when the
citizens' of Pennaylvani were summoned to Maryland,
to repel the invasion of the British, such *as the con
-11
fidence reposed' in Mr. orster, that he was forthwith'
commissioned a Briga ier 'General, and marched' at.
the head of his brigad , to the defence of Baltimore.
is an officer he -was iighly esteemed, and shared
largely th 0. confidence of General Scott, then the Com
mander-in-Chief. Duiug the absence of his brigade,
in 1814, hereceived another most marked expression
of the confidence of hiefelloweitizens, in his election
as State Seriafor for the district in which he lived:
He entered upon the duties of this new position with
an honest and earnest z:,l for the welfare of the Corn
rnonwealth and the co stitnency which he immedi
ately represented, and s rued the prescribed term of
four Years. But the,exci ments of political life, even
in;thosedays, when Eon t men were chosen toarepre
sent the people, and .o legislative halls were free
from the corruptipns wh ch have since invaded them,
were not in accordane,e "th the peaceful and retiring
disposition of GeneAd , orster, and, at the sclose of
his senatorial term; he,' tired to the pursuits of -pri
vate life. These lie,ev ' conducted with an integrity
that' secured the confide - e of all who knew him..' In
the dark and fearful Ai ggle in which our country is
now engaged, though, fr in the infirmities of age,pre
vented from taking an a tive part ,' he felta:most deep
and lively interest. Quit and gentle in his mariners,
and especially eschewin all boisterous and boastful
expressions of patriotis , his thoughts dwelt with ab
sorbing concern on his c untry, and his earnest pray
ers ascended for her best welfare.
AS a husband; Genera Forster was an example of
constancy and. affection., As a father, he was kind and
indulgent, and devoted t 3 the welfare °flits children:
As a friend,' he was ever sincere and faithful.. .
Educated in the 'faith Of the Presbyterian. Church,
he was , from 'his earliestt life, an attendant upon its
worship, and supported its -institutions: Yeeitwas
not until the close of hi long and eventful life,' that
he coullt feel himself w rranted in 'making a profes
sion of his faith in hi., edeemer, and publicly con
necting himself with the communion of the Church.
This however,. he did, a far as we are" permitted'to
judge, in the simplicity o a child-like faith: 'He often'
regretted that it had not een done before, and that a
life, which had been 'se signally crowned with the
mercies of God, had notibeen devoted to his service,
He confessed, with apparently deep humility and sin
cerity, his own utter untiierthinessi and his entire Tell= .
ance on the merits of his Saviour for his salvation.
The, subject of that salvation occupied his thoughts,
almost exclusively, during the latter period of his life.
'With a - min - d - cieur arld - Ogorous -- to - the - last; he based
all his co. fidence on the righteousness of his Redeem- .
er, looked forward with calmness to.hia approaching
dissolution,' and with hope ;to an inheritance in lea
ven...incorruptible, undefiled, and that fadeth not
away. . . .
