May, for seventeen collections for the great ob
jects alone,—the wheels of the machinery. Now
we have a channel. Here are men in whom we
hove entire confidence. We shall stop all this, and
rolieve those brethren from their severe labors
for one, ani prepared to pledge myself to do the
best thing I can with my church for this cause,--
something more for this year, We may say of
churches as Virgil said of the rowers: Possunt gaia
posse videntur. He explained how the money carne
from Rome—not from the old lady in scarlet petti
coats, but from one of his members travelling in
Europe, who was the more impressed with the im
portance of the work in hie own country by what
lie saw there. Why, I almost feel like saying with
John Foster: American Christians might almost be
exempt from Foreign Missions, we have such a
magnificent work on our own hands.
D. W. Ingersoll, Elder from St. Paul's. The
church at Zankota is a centre of influence for the
whole Minnesota valley. It has revolutionized the
whole population of that town ; 'a Congressman
from that State declared that it is the centre of in
fluence, instead of, as formerly, a certain man's
saloon. This is the result of giving them a house.
My conviction is that no church organization is safe
until we have a house of worship. We ought to
have $150,000 for Church Erection this year.
Dr. Darling feared that the allusion too the $4OO
reported as having been received from the corruption
fund at Albany might lead many to think that cor
ruption had existed in the Legislative body of the
State. (Laughter.) He rose to defend that august
assemblage from the consequences of such an insinu
ation. (Laughier.) This .was not an evidence of
corruption, but of purity. For this was a part of a
fund raised by the liquor-dealers to oppose the ex
cise law, and was probably the first money they had
ever contributed to so worthy an object. lam
ready to stand here and pledge my influence as a
pastor. I have one little misgiving in regard to the
appointment of a day to take a simultaneous col
lection. The cause is new, and we must work up
our people when and as we can.
Dr. Goodrich, Chairman of Standing Committee.
Precisely because it is a new object, we have ap
pointed a day. The day is not absolutely fixed.
The Commtttee on Devotional Exercises reported
the following suggestions:
That the reception of the Scotch delegation be
made the first order of the day on Wednesday
afternoon.
That the Communion of the Lord's Supper be
administered on Thursday evening under the direc
tion of the Moderator, assisted by Dr. Adams and
Dr. Darling.
That there be no services or. Friday evening, in
order that the members of the Assembly may
have an opportunity of attending the meeting of
the American and Foreign Christian Union to be
held that evening.
The report was adopted. The time for adjourn
ment having arived, the session was closed with
prayer.
SIXTH DAY-WEDNESDAY, A. II
The Chair was occupied during the devotional ex
ercises by Rev. Chas. S. Robinson, D.D., of Brooklyn.
The interest of these meetings has increased from day
to day, and prayers were naked for young clergymen
by Rev. Herrick Johnson, of Pittsburg. Dr. Shaw
earnestly commended to the Commissioners, in their
associations and in their prayers, the members of the
households in which they were entertained, and par
ticularly those ladies, whom the domestic duties con
sequent upon their entertainment hindered from
attending, and who would much enjoy these devo
tional exercises. His mind was'deeply exercised, and
he prayed that God would graciously bless the meet
ing of this Assembly in the city.
At the expiration of the hour devoted to conference
and: prayer, the order of the day was taken up. This
was the reception of delegates from corresponding ec
clesiastical bodies. Letters from four delegates were
read, stating that they, with their alternates, had un
avoidably been detained, and presenting the regards
of the Conventions from which they were accredited
to this Assembly, and the Church which it represents.
The following are the names and Conventions of these:
Rev. A. S. Dwinnell, Presbyterian and Congrega
tional Convention of Wisconsin. Rev. Isaac Walker,
General Convention of Congregational Ministers and
Churches of Vermont. Rev. J. George Butler, Evan
gelical Lutheran Synod of the United States. Rev.
'George A. Jewksling, General Conference of Congre
gational Churches in. Maine.
The Assembly then rose to welcome the delegate from
the General Association of New Hampshire, the Rev.
E. G. Parsons, and the delegate from the General As
sociation of Connecticut, the Rev. Robert G. Ver
milye. They were received together, and the Modera
tor replied to both in one addtess. Mr. Parsons first
addressed the Assembly, bearing the Christian greet
ing of the churches which he presented, and recount
ed. their work and condition. He said the bodies
were nearly related. Coming from the Puritan stock
they had the same faith and characteristics. They
were one of the smaller branches of the Congregation
al churches. They have 20,000 communicants, 189
churches, 179 ministers, 150 pastors. They had
scarcely held their own during the year. Their edu
cational institutions were more than usually prosper
ous. They are agitating the subject.of more adequate
support for their ministers. In taking his leave he
congratulated the Assembly, and said they in New
Hampshire were closely watching them, and rejoicing
with them in the prospect of speedy re-anion.
Rev. It G. Vermilye, D.D., from the General As
sociation of Connecticut, said their association was con
stituted of ministers—no laymen. They had taken
great pains in gathering statistics, and were proud of
them. They had 47,000 communicants and 288
churches. 800 infants were baptized during the year.
This rite was observed by them better than by any
other body in their denomination. 'The accession by
profession during the year was over 3,000, the largest
since 1858. The net increase was about 2,500. These
statistics showed religious advancement.
A minister said to him that he was ashamed of his
native State. He thought that shame arose rather
from political than religious reasons. The good peo
ple there have hope, which they trust will be one
which will not make ashamed. H e spoke in favor of
working each in his favorite organization with a Chris
tian spirit and union of feeling. They were regard
ing with interest the great question of re-union in the
Prsbyterian Church. He believed that the great
Christian work .cOuld . he more effectually done by a
united body. He proceeded' to make some very com
plimentary allusions 'to Moderator Nelson, saying to
him that he would not venture to say them, but turn
ing to the Assembly added. that, now that his back
was tnrned, he might express his own high esteem
for one whom they had fitly
. chosen for their Moder
ator, and who had, perhaps more than any other man,
saved freedom to . the State of Missouri. [Applause.]
Dr: Nelson, twenty-one years ago preached, for him.
He remembered his sermon and his text, and he ought
to have then foreseen from what he saw and heard of
him that he would one day be Moderator of the Gen
eral Assembly. ,
The ,loderator made his official response to both
of these delegates as. one, representina '' one deriantina-.
tion. He said.--You - are front New England, whiCh
is still visible to the_naked.e.yor. (casting his eye to
the great map of the United States, which hung be
hind the pulpit, and.on which New 'England makes
of course a very small show) 'and her influences felt
wherever the breezes of freedom . are wafted. He
would venture to request every man and woman in
the house who was born in New England , to arise.
A large number; perhaps onelourfh of those pre
sent, immediately arose to their feet.
The Doctor, who:should himself be included among
those who had ,arisen, said he: did not.ask all to rise
whose ancestors were born there. If he-had, he prey
sumed all in the house, with the exception of his dear
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, MAY 30, 1867.
brother immediately before him—one of the Irish
delegates—would be on their feet.
He had in his church two elders born in New Hamp
shire. He could testify that their loyalty, patriotism,
orthodoxy, and—you will not be offended if I say--
Presbyterianism. is as firm as the granite of their na
tive hills. The Charter Oak, he understood, had been
uprooted from the soil of Hartford, but it shall never
be torn from the hearts of Presbyterians.
Our two communions are so nearly alike that we
can hardly tell them apart. Differing only in church
organization we are really and truly brethren. He
compared the different denominations to the different
armies in the service, which rendered the army more
efficacious if they all moved forward together upon
the enemy. He spoke of occasional difficulties be
tween our own body and the Congregationalists in
the West, but said, if by mistake the different armies
came in collision in the West, he should look to the
older and wiser beads in the Ea,st to remedy the evil.
Notwithstanding his near neighbour, Dr. M. Post,
was understood to be a jure ditrino Congregational
ist, in the thirteen or fourteen years of their truly
pleasant and fraternal intercourse, the subject had not
been mentioned between them.
In conclusion he requested the audience to rise and
sing two verses of the hymn !commencing,
"How sweet and heavenly is the sight
When those who love the Lord "
THE. APPEAL CASE
Dr: Canfield moved tb postpone the order of the
day, so as to take up the unfinished business of the
appeal of Silas,Miller. In 'his remarks in favor of
the motion he stated that a telegram 'had been sent
to the Moderator of the Synod of Illinois, asking hini,
" Did Silas. Miller lodge with you a notice of appeal
to the General Assembly ?" The answer was, "Yes."
This was all he wished to say upon the question. lie
was now satisfied, and cared not to have immediate
action, but only that the subject should not be put
entirely aside. It was made the first order for Fri
day.
SPEOL3L'COMMITTEE ON 'RE-UNION
The following report of the Special Committee on
Re. union was then read by Dr. Hawley:
The Committee to whom was referred the Report
of the Special Committee appointed by the last Gen
eral Assembly to confer with a similar Committee on
the desirableness and practicability of reuniting the
bodies which they severally represent, would respect
fully report
That they have gtven the document committed to
them a careful Consideraton, in view of its grave im
portance, and the manifold interests it involves, in
its relations to our own Church• and the progress of
the Kingdom of Christ in the earth. It presents a
basis for the proposed re-union, which, if ~the two
Assemblies so order, is to be submitted to the delib
erate examination of both branclkes of the Church for
one year, subject to such modifications as may appear
necessary or desirable within that period. It leaves
the General Assemblies of 1868 free to act with re
ference to these terms of re-union, in whole or in part,
as providential signs may indicate ; and if advisable,
to submit them to the Constitutional and final action
of the Presbyteries. Ample Opportunity is thus af
forded for a full . and deliberate consideration of the
whole subject, in all its bearings, as they shall affect.
local' interests.or the well-being of the entire Church.
For this and kindred reasons your Committee Con
clude it was not the intention ofthis body in.referring
to them this proposed basis of re-union, that its sever
al articles should be discussed at this, time and place ;
and yet they cannot withhold their conviction, ex
pressed in t'hese general terms, that results have al
ready been reached full of promise and hope ; that
whatever concessions bave been made; they only in
dicate how hear the two parts of the divided Church
have,approached each other; that nothing More and
nothing less than Christian charity would dictate, has
been yielded ; and that in the adjustment of any diffi
culties or differences, a proper regard has been pre
served for the honor and rights of the respective
bodies to which the work. of their : Joint Committee is
now submitted. The remarkable unanimity with
which these initiatory proceedings have been conclu
ded, after a thorough and frank discussion of the ba
sis of union is full of encouragement, and whatever
may be the ultimate result, much has already been
accomplished for the healing of our divisions and the
promotion of peace and good will in the Presbyterian
body.
Impressed with these considerations and gratefully
recognizing therein the guiding providence of God in
the successive stages of this work of concord, and es
pecially the Spirit of wisdom and love given to His
servants in their several conferences, we do .recom
mend that this Assembly approve of the whole action
of its Special Committee as declared in their'Report,
and that the same Committee be eontimied for the
purpose for which it was constituted.
There is a single point on which the Joint Com
mittee ask instructions from the two General Assem
blies. It relates to the changes in representation, 4c.,
which will be required. to adapt our ecclesiastical
system to the necessities and circumstances of the
United Church. We would recommend that it be
left to the Joint committee to - examine carefully the
whole subject, and suggest such changes in the Con
stitution as in their wisdom they may deem requisite.
It is further recommended, that the Report of the
Joint Committee be published, under the authority of
the Assembly, for general distribution among our min
isters and churches.
It is also recommended that the Assembly appoint
the several gentlemen designated by the:Joint Com
mittee as legal advisers, and in case of the inability
of any one of them to serve, the Committee have pow
er to fill his place. .
It is indicative, we would believe, of the temper of
this Assembly, the largest during our history of thir
ty years since the separation, that your Committee,
though representing the extremes of our territory, and
even the lingering memories of the conflict which
culminated in the division, are of one mind in desiring
the speedy and permanent re-union of our beloved
Church. It is but reasonable to anticipate that the
same spirit will characterize the action of the other
Assembly, in the recollection of the fraternal, not to
say magnanimous, advances made one year ago, and
which gave, rise to present measures for re-union, and
the hope increasingly and fondly cherished in the
great PreSbyterian household. Other members of
that renowned family, than those represented in the
two Assemblies now in session, at home and across
the sea, are. stirred in sympathy at the goodly pros
pect,
,The friends of Christian Union everywhere
claim an interest in the completion of our work, so
happily begun, as another sign of the predicted day
when all Christ's people shall 'be one, keeping the
unity of the spirit in the bond of imace.

It may be confidently asserted that no Commentary
was ever undertaken with such a large combination
of force. It is proposed' to prepare the very best
Commentary which the united evangelical scholarship
of Europe and America can produce at the present
age—a Commentary "learned, yet popular, orthodoi
and sound, yet unsectarian; liber'al and truly catholic
in spirit and aim, combining with original research
the most valuable results of the exegetical labors of
the past and present, 'and making them available for
the practical use of the ministers and the general good
of the Church."
[ The.Anzerican Theological Review.]
"We welcome this Commentary as upon the whole
the best single exposition that can be found, compris
ing all that is essential to a thorough, popular, and
useful work. It treats the Bible as an inspired book;
yet it is also critical, meeting and not giVing the slip
to difficult questions. For textual criticism it affordS
ample means. Its exegesis is concise and pertinent.
The doctrinal and homiletical parts are handled effectively.
It is not sectarian, bat adapted for use in all denomina
tions. Those who may, here and there, differ from it
will not complain that it is wanting in either candor
or learning: This edition is not only superior to the
Edinburgh, but it also surpasses the German."

SHERMAN'S NEW PATENT
AS YOU LIKE IT SKIRT
This is not only a new fashion, but a new article of
Skirt, made on an entirely new principle, so novel and
yet so perfect that the ladies contend it should be called
Perfection.
We would here call particular attention to the As
You Like It, or flexible joint, extending down the
front of the skirt; it is so constructed that, the springs
fold inwardly, but not outwardly, and readily yield to
the slightest pressure, thus allowing them to collapse,
so that the skirt occupies the smallest possible space
while sitting, riding, or in passing through a crowd,
and yet the moment the pressure is removed, the skirt
resumes its original and beautiful shape.
The novelty and utility of this contrivance needs
but be seen to be appreciated.
But for want of space we might here publish thou
sands of extracts from letters we are daily receiving,
speaking in the highest praise of these Skirts.
OUR CORSETS
are now so well known for their superior shape, mate
erial, and workmanship, that it is perhaps unnecessary
for us to speak of them further than to say that we
have greatly enlarged our assortment of styles, both
of our own make•and importation, and can now safely
defy competition. We ask but a trial and are sure of
your future patronage. Manufactured by the SHERMAN
SHIRT AND CORSET COMPANY, exclusive owners of the
patent for the United States.

board covers 36 eta, or $3O a hundred.
IT CONTAINS
1. A careful selection of the standard old hymns which arc most

and popular in . actusl use in religious services generally, and which
are yet eminently fit for Sunday school use.
2. A large number of new and attractive songs for occasional and

Great care has been exercised in regard to the admission of both
words and music that theyshall be unobjectionable on everygronod,
and fit in all respects for their importaot use. It is hoped that the
words will be found to be indeed "APPLES OF GOLD," without base
alloy, and that they are set to music which is worthy to be termed
"Fie:rum OF Summt." To facilitate examination, a single copy
will be sent, postpaid, to any Sunday-school superintendent desir
ing it and inclosing 20 cents to the publishers.
