MANSES.
The Committee to whom was referred by

Joseph H. Wilson on subject of manses

follows :
REPORT ON MANSES.
sreas, The importance of providing
manses, or parsonages for the comfortable
accommodation of our ministers and their
families, and also of establishing and enlarg
ing pastoral libraries, is worthy of serious
consideration, and never more so than at
present ; therefore,
Resolved 1. That Rev. Geo. E. Day, D. D.,
Rev. 3. G. Butler, Rev. Z. M. Humphrey,
and Messrs. Ed. D. Mansfield and Chas. A
Davison, be a Committee to collect by appro
priate inquiries, facts in respect to existing

tion with our, churches to be presented at

Resolved 2. That blank forms containing
these inquiries be sent to the stated clerks

Resolved 3. That the ministers, elders ;
and deacons, or members of the churches
tinder the care of the General Assembly, be
earnestly requested to make early and, full
replies to these questioris, adding any infor
mation, or making any suggestions which
may tend to awaken an interest in behalf of
manses or parsonages and pastoral libraries.
SUNDAY SCILOOLS
The Committee to whom was referred the
report of Committee appointed by the last
AsseMbly on the subject of Sunday Schools
and Sabbath Services, and the overture from
the Synod of Michigan on the same subject,
presented a report, which was, after • discus
lon, adopted ; and is embodied in the
fol
lowing resolutions:
1. Resolved, That it belongs emphatically
to the Pastors and Elders of each congrega,
tion to direct and supervise the Whole Work
of the spiritual training of the young, and
that it is an important part of the functions!
of their office, both to encourage parents to
fidelity in bringing up their children in the
nurture and admonition of the Lord, and
also to secure the co-operation of all the
competent members of the church in the
religious education of all the children and
youth to whom they can gain access.
2. That great attention ought to be paid to
the work of inculcating lessons from the sa
<Ted :'.lcriptute.*...a3lA or tx_ing in ttic iilemory
the CP.Waliglas ^ ourCiairalr,
aoctrino and polity; and of combining all
the schools of a congregation in united
Worship, as far as possible ; and especially of
leading them to Jesus, in the exercise of a
living, faith and continued reliance on the
:Eloly Spirit.
3. That to the. above end we would further
recommend, to the pastors that they adapt,
wherever practicable, the second discourse
Of every Sabbath particularly to the young
of their flock; thus affording to this, the
Moat susceptible and. hopeful portion of
their field, at least one-half of their time
and labor, and giving their children distinct
ly to feel that they have a place no less in
the sanctuary, than in the Sabbath school,
both for worship and instruction.
4. That Church Sessions be required =to
furnish, in their statistical reports, a full
account of the number of Sunday School
scholars and teachers in their respective
congregations, to be embodied in the As
sembly's minutes.
5. That a permanent Committee of the
AsSembly be appointed, whose ditty it shall
he to take charge of this great interest, and
report whatever may quicken and stimulate
the' church in its duty of training the young
adCording to the Word of God.
:6c. That this General Assembly recommend
to the pastors of the• churches within its
bounds to present before their congregations,
in one or more discourses, the relation of
baptized children to the church, and the
reciprocal duties between parents and chit
dren,'growing out of their relations, as' de
fined in the Word of God and declared in
t he . doctrin es of our church.
7. That it is exceedingly desirable that
the entire congregation, young and old, be
p6-4nanently connected with the Sunday
~creel, either as scholars or teachers.
In the course of the debate, Rev. Hr.
Raw Son said that he wanted instructions ex
tender! to the elder as well as the 'younger
persons in the Church. He wanted them to
study together.
Mr. Churchill, as a thopugh-going Sunday
School man, was glad to see the church
awaking. He feared the separation of .the
Sirriday School from the church. Some
Superintendents were too apt to think• they
ought to give their scholars a good time.
For his part, he wanted the - school and the
church yet more closely united.
Dr. Spees would vote very cordially for the
adoPtion of the resolutions. He wished they
could be read in every
. pidpit. This evil
which had been nntieedwasnot imaginary.
The independence of the Sabbath schoelwas
daily increasing. He would venture in say
thete were few sessions Which has' not had
this matter before them for definite action
this last year. The entire control had tab
'Often been given to the superintendent, and
the church and the Sabbath school had been
run as independent, parallel institutions.
'e wanted the authority of the Session over
the Sabbath school fully recognized. If they
controlled the sanctuary, why should they
not control the other also ? They ought to
thave•censtant watch upon its interests, and
pare for it. He would ask whether the
session were not to consider, also, the litera
ture, the teachers, and the music of the
school? Ought it not to be able to do all
this ?
God had been blessing this institution.
From twenty to _thirty of his own Sunday
scholars had come into the church. The
more God blesses it the more the session
*light to take hold of it. There were many
looks, which the Pastor and Session, if they
• made. examination, would exile from the
library.. The Paitor shoidd :not have to
:obtain from the Superintendenthis' privilege
, te.apeak. The Pastor was plater lalsoof the
Sabbath school,, and. when he was there let
every other man take a second place. The
Assembly must carry this point, or the evil
resulting would be very great.
Mr. Newberry thought we should remem
ber that Nehemiah's Sabbath school was the
first on record. In his case the Pastor was
Superintendent too. So it should be in
ours.
Dr. Priest sugggested as an amendment,
Witt all the Church, old and young, be con
nected some way with the Sabbath school.
Dr. Wright would second the amendment.
Our only .trouble was to tmderstand the
grand drift about . the children. He felt With
Dr. Poor, that the Sunday school was slip
ping out from the Church. We were just at
the crisis, and we are throwing the lambs out
of the fold. The place for lambs Was among
the sheep
We ought to have them grow, up into. the
Church ; but instead of that, we leave them
to themselves; and then expect them to be
come good. . .
He had taken up this matter about a year
ago, and had preached three sermons on it.
He had reason -to think these had a very
happy effect. God had accompanied this
simple means so that some seventy, consist
ing almost entirely of the. young, were con
verted.
Adjourned with prayer.
Friday, May 27th, 3, P. X..
The Assembly met and was opened with
prayer.
THE CASE OF MRS. MARIA MILL
The Report of •the Committee to whom
was referred the appeal of Mrs. Maria Hill
from a decision of the Synod of Albany, was
adopted as the decision of this Assembly.
Their report was, that after examining the
documents presented and hearing the state
ments of the parties by themselves .or by
their counsel, your Committee are satisfied
that substantial justice has been done in their
case. The alleged irregularities in the lower
judicatories which are complained of are of a
technical character or• caused by the course
pursued by the appellant or her agents. She
could have at any time arrested the proceed
ings or prevented a conviction of contumacy,
by submitting to the authority of the session
and answering their citations and can now
at any moment reverse the sentence and
restored in the manner provided by the
10th Article of the 4th Chapter of our Book
of Discipline. .
Your Committee therefore recommend
that the appeal of Mrs. Maria Hill be not
sustained.
CORRESPONDING BODIES
The Report of the Committee on revision
of the subject of correspondence with other
ecclesiastical bodies was presented, and after
amendment adopted. It was as follows:

2. Inasmuch as. we have entered :into
