1865.
Referred to Committee on International
Affairs.
Rev. Y. Hickey, from the Committee on
Railroad Literature, presented the report of
that committee. It states that there is
already in existance an agendy on the subject,
entitled " The American Railway Union,''
and they, therefore, offered a series of resolu
tions, agreeing to co-operate, as far as possi
ble, with the said union, and they recom
mend the resumption of active operations on
the plan already adopted ; that they will try
to benefit the young men and boys engaged,
in the traffic in publications on our throrough
fares, of every description. They recom
mend that the report be referred tie; Special
committee of three, to report upon, it at this
Convention, and suggest what further-action,
if any, should be taken in the ease. The
report was referred to Rev. Y. Hickey, New
York; Hon. Jas. A. Pond, Boston; A. H.
Chamberlain, Cincinnatti ; J. D. Reed, Esq.,
Rochester.
Rev. Dr. Clark, from the Committee on
the plan for an American Protestant Asso
ciation, presented the report of the committee
which was adopted as follows :
Among the favorable indications of . the
times are the tendencies toward union of feel
ing and effort among the members of the vari
ous Evangelical denominations throughout
our .country. The readiness of the great ma
jority of Christians to co-operate in general
philanthropic and benevolent movements ;
the increased disposition to exchange pulpits
on the part of the clergy; the desire exten
sively felt among Presbyterians to see the two
branches of their, church again united, and
the growing feeling that the present condition
of our country demands renewed efforts to
strengthen and extend Protestantism—all are
Providential indications that claim the atten
tion of the friends of the kingdom of Christ.
In view of these facts we would suggest the
organization of an assembly or an association,
to meet annually, and to be composed of cleri
cal and lay delegates from overy t Evangelical
denomination that is willing to enter into the
movement, and from Protestant bodies in for
eign countries, the delegates .to be appointed
by the highest' ecclesiastical • body represent
ing the, denomination.
The propl§seci objects of the Assembly axe
the following:
First. The official and public recognition of
the unity of the Protestant Church.
Second. -The cultivation if fraternal feeling
and Christian co-operation , throughout all,
Evangelical denominations.
Third. The extension of Protestant educa
ften and religion throughout the destitute
portions of our-land.
Fourth. The publication of an annual re
port that will present an accuTate statement
of the numerical strength of each denomina
tion in our land`; the condition and strength
of Protestantism in Great Britain, France,
and other-European counties, and a view of
all Protestant misssons throughout the world.
Brief reports from many associations were
read.
Mr. W. B. Cullis read 'the report of the
Philadelphia Association. It stated that
about the Ist of July they expected to occupy
their new hall, 1210 Chestnut street, where
a number"of reading and other rooms will be
provided, besides a gymnasium. There are
now in the library 3,000 volumes, and it is I
expected when the new. building is occupied
that the library will be much increased.
There haVe been kept by the Association a
record of sick and wounded soldiers. There
are now upon that register about 60,000
names, together with the removals to the
different hospitals, and general information
as to the final disposition of these soldiers.
The Committee on Credentials reported
the names of the delegates present. 'During
the day, the Convention, by invitation,_ visit
ed the Mint and the Union League Rooms.
In the evening the Academy of Music was
crowded to hear the Oratories of the Messiah,
which was magnificently given, and received
with enthusiastic applause, the audience
rising en masse at the .TDI. a lle luj ah Chorus. It
was &rich treat to the members of the Con
vention and their friends.
THIRD DAY-FRIDAY
Sundry resolry ons were read and referred.
Several associat., .11 made their annual re

Mr. George H. Stuart then arose and'an
nounced that Rev. J. P. Chown, of Brad
ford, England, and friend of John Bright
and of this country, was present, and that if
it was the pleasure of the Convention he
would introduce him.
Mr. Chown was accordingly introduced,
thanked the Convention for the honor they
had done him, and wished the Association
and this. country God speed.
On motion of IN . Edsall, a vote of thanks
was returned to the Prestyterian Publication
Committee, for their gift of 200 copies of a
book, entitled "Buy Your Own Cherries."
Mr. Stuart introduced Rev. Samuel R.
House, D.D., a missionary from Siam.
Mr. House thanked the Convention for
the honor they had done him, and hoped
that while they prosecuted the work at home
they would, not forget the millions of heathen
abroad, who were without Gxi and hope in
the world.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
Mr. Gates, great grandson of General
Gates, was introduced, and made some pa
triotic remarks. Adjourned.
A series of admirable patriotic resolutions
was introduced by Dr. Bomberger and adopt
ted. We should be glad to find space for so
noble a paper, but cannot at present.
Resolved,
That all the Associations be re
quested to transmit their reports to the Ex
ecutive Committee at least two weeks before
the assembling of., the annual Convention,
and that the Executive Committee be em
powered to print in pamphlet form so much
of said reports as shall appear to them de
-, sirable, and that they be thus distributed
upon the organization of the convention.
In pursuance of the recommendations of
various committees to whom the topics had
been referred, the following subjects were dis
posed of in the manner stated.
That the rooms of the Associations be
opened on the Sabbath.
That the members of the Associations use
their influence in promotion of the tempe
rance cause.
That it is the duty of all associations to
give themselves zealousiy to working for the
Master, concerning themselves only about
this that, in the shortest time, they , bring the
most young men to love and serve Jesus.
That " The Young Man's Friend"—a 'pe
riodical to be published by the Young Men's
Christian Association—reporteds be referred
to the Executive Committee for next year.
That the pastors of churches in the United
States and British Provinces be requested to
preach a - sermon in favor of Christian Asso
ciations. reported in favor thereof.
That the members of the various Associa
tions throughout the country co-operate with
the Union Commission as far as practicable
in their judgment, in its work of providing
physical relief for the destitute ; seed, tools,
and other means of labor for the revival of
industry; schools, teachers, and other educa
tional facilities in States which are now with
out them; a loyal Christian literature to
counteract a press whose poisonous l'angs are
concealed, not extracted, and thus prepare
the way for the establishment of Christian
churches and other religious and benevolent
organizations in sympathy ' with universal
liberty and the perpetuity of the Union.
Also a report in favor of tenement house
and cottage prayer-meetings, by which the
gospel is carried to the homes of the poor.
Also, a report on the subject of agencies to
be employed to reach and bring to Christ that
class of the adult population of our cities who
neither attend church or Sunday-school. The
committee recommends.:
1. Persevering and universal tract distribu
tion.
2. That with this tract distribution be unit
ed
,inquiry as to the denominational prefer
ences of those who neglect the church, in or
der that they may be introduced to the notice
of •pastors and churches of such denomina
tions.
3. That out-door meeings and street preach
ing be employed as far as possible.
In the employment of these means syste
matic Christian visitation is indispensable,
together with such other mean as may seem
especially adapted to the peculiar circum
stances of each community. The report was
accepted, and the recommendations adopted.
In the evening a great meeting for cele
brating the anniversary of' the Lathes' Branch
Christian Commissions was held in the Acade
my of Music. The vast building was well
filled, and the meeting was one of profound
interest. The partial report read by Rev.
W. E. Boardman showed, that in this city.
and the immediate vicinity, eighty-seven
Ladies' Commissions had been formed, with
a membership of 6568, and contributions
amounting to $13,000.

buted $180,773 16:. .
Addresses were delivered by Rev. George
Mingins, Brigadier-General Clinton B.
Fisk_ and Major-General 0. 0. Howard.
General Fisk's speech was brilliant and
pciNerful, :sometimes moving the deepest
chords of feeling, sometimes convulsing the
audience with, irrepressible laughter. The
reception given to this noble Christian sol
dier was enthusiastic, but when the heroic
and godly Howard, who had left his right
arm at Fair Oaka, and who had led the
Army of the Tennessee in triumph:from At
lanta to Savannah, and from Savannah to
Goldsboro, rose to address the audience the
applause was like an unpent hurricane. The
whole audience rose ; they cheered, they
shouted, they waved their handkerchiefs in
an ungovernable passion of admiration, grati
tude and applause. The feeling for the mili
tary talents and virtue of the General, the
grand successes connected with his name,
and the marks ..of_martyrdom he bears, com
bine to give him a large place in the hearts
of the loyal Christian public.
FOURTH DAY-SATURDAY
The Convention met at Spring Brook, the
country residence of George H. Stuart Esq.,
above Tawny.
The proposed purchase of Ford's theatre
was further considered and the plan of the
committee to locate the Washington Young
Men's Christian Association on the ground
adopted. Rev. J. M. Stevenson, D.D., was
appointed to reorganize the Associations of
the South.
In the evening, the Convention resolved
itself into an informal -meeting to perfect
measures for purchasing Ford's theatre. The
following trustees for the property were elect
ed. John Wannamaker, Philadelphia, Pa. ;
W. A. - Thompson, Washington, D. C. ; W.
F. Lee, N. Y. City; E. A. ann, Boston,
Mass. ; 0. C. Gibbs, Chicago, 111. ; J. D.
Reed, Rochester, N. Y. ; W. S.. Potts, St.
Paul, Minn.
A series of topics, previously announced,
was then discussed in brief speeches by the
members. They were, _
First—The best method of bringing young
men in cities under the influence of the As
sociations.
Second—The best 'means of making the
monthly meetings of the Associations interest
ing and profitable.
Third—:are literary classes desirable, and if
so, how should they be conducted?
Fourth—How shall young, men be best em
ployed and retained in Associations ?
Fifth—What measures shall be employed
by the Associati . ons for improving the social
condition of young men? That being one of
the declared objects of this organization.
Gen. Fisk made the closing address in
which he said that:he had been four years in
the war, and during all that time he had en
deavored to make his headquarters a young
men's Christian Association. He had no
officer on his staff who drank intoxicating
liquors, or used profane language. His head
quarters had been a travelling temperance
society, and never did they remain in any
town any length of time in which a temper
ance society was not started. Intemperance
was a twin monster with slavery, and it
should now be destroyed. A standing order
on his books was, that his provost guard
should knock in the head every whisky bar
rel, and every whisky seller. He had closed
whisky shops in forty towns of Missouri. He
had received a bushel of letter§ of thanks
from wives, mothers, and children, for having
closed whisky shops. In one town where he
had been,. he had been waited upon by a
number of citizens to have the whisky shops
of their town shut up. He issued an order
prohibiting the sale of liquors to certain per
sons, naming them, who were known to be
habitual drunkards. In conclusion, he said
there was no better work for the Christian
Association than to fight against intemper
ance ; and if the women of the land would
use the same influence in putting down
whisky shops that the women of the South
had used in encouraging the rebellion, there
wouldn't be a whisky shop in the North.
The usual votes of thanks were passed.
Adjourned. -

THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, JUNE 15, 1865

In all positions there is perfect ease;

Aiding and not repressing every charm;

While e'en a figure, which is understood
As being "Inid," may by their help seem good;
And matrons li'i•aring them a boon will gain,
Their early symmetry they'll long retain.
