Pulaski county, 11l , organized June 24, 1866;
and the Church of Tower Hill, Shelby county,
organized with 16 members on the 17th of Feb.
last. The last is in the bounds of Wabash Pres
bytery. Wm. H. Ilsley was received under care
of Pres. as a candidate for the ministry. The
Home Mission Report says: "Three 'churches
have been organized in destitute fields, and pre
parations have been made for organizing two
mere. Four church edifices are now going up,
and efforts are being made for building two
others. Fifteen Missionaries have been employ
ed for the supply of feeble churches. One of
our missionary fields, embracing two churches,
has become self supporting during the year;
three will probably do the same the coming year.
If so, there will be sixteen churches in the Pres
bytery on an independent footing." Receipts for
the year $1309.
PRESBYTERY OF TrooA.—At a meeting of this
Presbytery held in Owego, Monday, April 27th,
1867, W. W. Palmer, of Binghamton, and Rob
ert Edgar, of Union, were ordained as evangelists.
Mr. Edgar is at present supplying the pulpit of
the church at Union. In regard to re-union it
was resolved:
Ist. That in the opinion of this Presbytery, the
speedy union of the Old and New School branches
of the Presbyterian Church is not an object of
special desire to the New School body.
2d. That the union of the above named bodies
should in no case be effected, unless it be fully
granted by both bodies, that ministers of the
Gospel whose views on the fundamental doctrines
of theology coincide with the teachings of Dr.
N. W. Taylor, Abert Barnes, and Prof. Park, are
to be considered as men of unquestioned ortho
doxy.
lOWA CITY.—The Presbytery of lowa City
hell its Spring session at Brooklyn. The church of
Toolesboro has been received, and also the church
of Brooklyn and Malcom has been divided into
two. There has been a continual work of con
verjon going on in the church of Marengo fur
more than a year. On the whole,
the numbers
are nearly equal to what they were before the de
fection to Congregationalism of two-thirds of the
resident members of lowa City church, the rem
nant of which is still dispersed, and has not
reaped the fruits of the great awakening in lowa
City, adding to all the churches with an acting
ministry there over 300 members in all. Presby
tery needs $5,000 to aid in building churches.
COLLEGES.—The prospect is said to be en
couraging for the speedy establishment, under
Presbyterian auspices, of a seminary of learhing
(male and female) of a high grade in the city of
Cedar Rapids, lowa. The avails already secured
are a donation of three lots in Cedar Rapids, and
eighty acres of land in its immediate vicinity;
together with a subscription amounting to more
than $15,000. Measures are being taken for the
erection, during this season, of a good Seminary
building.
A bill appropriating $25,000 in aid of Elmira
College, the oldest of our Fettle Colleges, passed
the late N. Y. Legislature, and has since been
approved by the Governor. The interest does
riot become available until the friends of the Col
lege shall have completed an additional sum of
$50.000. $40,000 of this sum are however al
ready subscribed, and the rest will, no doubt be
easily raised. Of the $50,000 to be raised, one
half is to be at once expended in improving and
ornamenting the grounds, and in such needed
repairs to the building, additions to the library,
in building a Gymnasium, and in putting the

ate education.—Evangelist.
Prof. Hitchcock's address to the graduating
class, at the late Anniversary of Union Seminary
was a scholarly and brilliant definition of
the pastoral office. He spoke of the superiority
of goodness over piety alone, as involving more
than the latter; and then dwelt at length en the
needs of the clergyman, even more than of the
layman, to be a good man. The minister should
be good, he said, in the strictest sense; he should
be eloquent; he should be learned. And when
the Professor spoke of these elements as neces
sary to a pastor, he drew a beautiful picture of
the distinction between the minister and layman;
of the latter, tried and .wearied with the dust
and din of the week, coming to the sanctuary
with the right to expect that his pastor should
wear the look of peace which only, he can
,wear;
that he should come, fresh from -holy retirement,
shaking down the fragrance of heaven upon his
waiting people. In conclusicin he addressed a
few affectionate words to the graduating class,
and then delivered the diplomas.
The residence of the late Prof. Robinson, in
Winthrop-place, adjoining the Seminary build
ing, has been added to the property of the in
stitution, provididg additional accommodations
for students in nine or ten fine rooms. This,
with the building on Clinton-place added last
year, renders the conditions of student in their
dormitories far more comfortable than it ever has
been hitherto.—Evangelist. •

The General Synod of the Reformed Presby
terian Church.—This body met in New York on
the 16th of May, and were addreSsed by the Irish
delegates the same evening. In the organization
of the Synod, the Philadelphia Presbytery ob
jected to the admission of the Northern (or New
York) Presbytery's delegation, as clearly contrary
to the legal ratio of - representation, and when this
was overruled, solemnly protested against the or
ganization of Synod and the validity of all its acts,
appealing to the Head of the Church. Rev. W. S.
Bratton, a man of rather strict opinions, but thor
oughly favorable to union, was nominated for Mod
erator by Geo. H. Stuart, and unanimously elected.
Mr. Stuart introduced a series of stroll°. b resolutions,
looking to a re-union of all the Presbyterian
branches, and calling for a Convention of all the
churches in this city, which were referred to a
Special Committee of one from each Presbytery, ap
pointed by the Moderator. This Committee re
ported a series of resolutions, embodying the essen
tial features of Mr. Stuart's resolutions. LThese
resolutions have already appeared in our report of
our own Assembly, which declined to take any ac
tion upon them, for fear of making new complica
tions in the negotiations already in progress with
the other branch. The Old School Assembly re
ferred them to their 3oint Committee on Union, with
power to make whatever arrangements they may
think best. The U. P. Assembly made arrange.
ments to have each of its Synods represented.]
These resolutions were adopted without division,
although some venerable conservatives were exer
cised at the possibility of some of the distinctive
principles of the Church being lost sight of in the
Convention.
Dr. Douglas introduced a series of resolutions de
signed to test the consistency of the exclusive party
in the Synod, which we print in full in justice to
I,\TumasAs, General Synod at is last meeting, re
affirmed the principles of the Reformed Presbyterian
Church on the subject of psalmody, and declared
that the one hundred and fifty Scripture Psalms
only are to he used in the public social worship of
God ; and, whereas, George H. Stuart, Esq., asserted
boldly on the floor of this Synod yesterday, that he
was in the habit of singing - hymns of human com
position in direct contravention and defiance of long
established and re-affirmed law of the Church on
the subject; therefore
Resolved, That the seat of George H. Stuart, Esq.,
in this Synod be, and it hereby is, declared vacant.
Resolved, That he be referred to the session of the
First Reformed Presbyterian Church of Philadel
phia, to be dealt with for a "gross violation of the
established order of this Church, in the use of. hu
man psalmody, according to the order and discip
line of the Church in such cases."
These lay on the table of Synod for several days,
when their author had leave to withdraw them,"
but did not do so. There was no further action upon
them.
Dr. Douglas claims that the statement made in
regard to his course in our issue of May 23d, is not
correct. He says:
"I was not present at the Synod of 1866, but was
informed that the majority were not sincere in their
reaffirmation of the standards of the Church on the
subject of Psalmody. I introduced my paper, there
fore, as I stated on the floor of Synod, to test both
parties and ascertain what was the law of the
Church. In my remarks I said it was plain, accord
ing to the record, that the law of the Church was
that only the one hundred and fifty Psalms should
be used by Reformed Presbyterians in the worship
of God. And, referring to a report that was in cir
culation, touching an investigation of the alleged
intemperate habits of some members of Synod, I
said I would oppose any investigation of the kind
until the law on the subject of Psalmody was deter
mined; for, as it now stauds, it is as plainly a viola
tion of the law of the Church to sing huMan compo
sitions in the worship of God, as it is to get drunk ;
—there is a difference of degree in the guilt, but the
one is a violation of law as well as the other.
Moreover, I demanded either the passage of the pa
per, or a modification or repeal of the law. That I
presented the paper in an anti-union spirit, is news
indeed. All my brethren knew that I was ready to
vote for brunet - hate union with the United Presbyte
rian Church, or the Old or New School Assembly,
and am now. In fact, lam almost the only member
of Synod that is absolutely ripe for union."
The report on the signs of the Signs of the
Times was very outspoken in endorsing the legis
lation of Congress in regard to reconstruction,
The most exciting items of business before Synod
were three protests, by Drs. Steele and Crawford,
against the action of the Philadelphia Presbytery.
The first, a mere technical point of Church law, was
sustained. The second was against the licensure of
Mr. Geo. S. Chambers by the Philadelphia body,
in May, 1866. The protestents claimed that Mr.
C. was not sound on the great issue of Psalmody.
The protest was sustained by a vote of 23 to 15, the
Philadelphia Presbytery (8) not voting. Syhod,
however, not very consistently, adopted a minute de
claring that "inasmuch as for some time a diversi
ty of views and of practice has prevailed on the sub
of .Psalmody, the Synod do not require that the
licensure of Mr. Chambers be revoked," which, it
seems to us,.should set this vexed question at rest
in the denomination,
The third protest was against the licensure
of Mr. R. E. Thompson, in May, 1867, and rested
'on' mUch the same grounds, with the addition
of Unsoandness on the question of close com
'intiniOn.! The protestants having shown in the
discussion that Mr. Thompson was - as black
a sheep as Mr. Chambers, and the Presbytery in due
course having answered them, Rev. Dr. McLeod of
New York was allowed an boor and a half to show
that Mr. T. was far blacker. Dr. McL. quoted from
an essay written by Mr. T. some fifteen months be
fore which, he claimed. seemed to teach error. Sy
nod refused, on technical grounds, to hear Dr. Wylie,
of the Philadelphia Presbytery, in reply, and press
ed the matter to a - Vote, when the Protest was of
course sustained, and Mr. Thompson's case was re
ferred to a Special ,Commission, with full powers to
examine Mr. T. and to sustain or revoke the licen
sure. [This Commission has since met and enders
ed Mr. Thompson's liceninre by a unanimous vote,
after a thorough examination.]
On application of Drs. Steel and Crawford, whom
the Philadelphia Presbytery had refused to send as
delegates to Synod, it was ordered that theSe two
gentlemen be constituted into a second Philadelphia
Presbytery, [which was done on the 11th inst., by
Dr. Wylie.] -The, motion to comply with, this re
quest came from the Moderator of the Philadelphia
'Presbytery himself, indicating perhaps that the loss
which - that Presbytery sustains in point - of strength,
will be -more than. compensated by the gainin free
dom of action in any critical conjuncture.
The BOard of Foreign Missions reported the re
ceipt of' nearly'sll,ooofrom a denomination of less
than 10,000 meMbers. The Freedman's Mission
Board reported the receipt of $3,500, and that the
schools of this Chitrch in Alexandria, Va., are flour
ishing, and a newmission is to be opened in East
Tennessee, *here an old Covenanter and anti-slavery
. church has been erected from the earliest times.
, The results of this most critical Synod may be
summed up in- the: words of one of its most promi
nent members—" The Conservatives won the laurels
and the Liberals gathered the spoils." ' •
The United Presbyterian Assembly.—The
Ninth General Assembly of the U. P Church met at
Xenia,O., on tine 23d ult. Six Synods (including 50
Home and two Mission Presbyteries) were repre
sented. - Drs. - , Dales and Cooper, of this city, were
chosen respectively Moderator and Stated Clerk.
The receipts for Missions were reported at over
$72,000, employed in operations in India; China,
'Syria, Egypt and Italy. The receipts :for Freed
men's Mission were reported at $27,117.42; laborers
employed 46. The Committee on a New Version of
the Psalms reported that IS new versions had been
approved of by two-thirds of the Presbyteries; and
that a Committee appointed,by the Free Church of
Scotland for the same purpose, had opened commu
nication with tbem; with a view to co-operation.
After a sharp contest it was deeided that Synods
cannot vote in cases of appeal against their own ac
tion. The Irish and Scotch delegations were heard
at great length, Dr. Hall bearinv , off • the palm of
eloquence and dwelling, at considerable length, on
the Scotch-Irish character of the U. P. Church, after
which, Mr. George H. Stuart, of this city, was in
vited-to address the Assembly and read Dr. Guth
rie's letter.
The case of Rev. W. C. McCune was taken up, on
appeal from the action of the Second Synod of the
Rest, in acquitting him of holding serious and fun
damental- error in communion, and of deteriminedly
opposing one ,of the distinctive principles of the
Church. kir. McCune's great heresy appears to' e
the belief that the United Presbyterian sect is a
Church of the Lord Jesus . Christ, and . bound to act
as such and in obedience to His laws, in .the accep-
- - .
Lance or rejection of members, and to judge them by
His laws in requiring simply evidence of saving
faith in Christ. On intercommunion with other
denominations, on Ps.almody and Secret Societies,
he holds to the strict views of his denomination.
After a discussion which occupied the greater part
of four or five days, the Protest, in spite of its very
irregular and informal character, was sustained by
an overwhelming vote, and Mr. McCune was refer
red to his own Presbytery for admonition It is
commonly expected that he will not submit, though
the result must be nearly as distasteful to the ultas
among his opponents, as to his friends.
The Cumberland Presbyterian Assembly met
at Memphis, Tenn., and elected a Missourian iN de r
ator. The appointment of a Special Committee on
Freedmen by the Moderator was resisted, and the
whole matter was referred to one of the Standing
Committees.
The. delegate from the Southern Assembly, Dr.
Witherspoon, spoke strongly in advocacy of union,
and was replied to by the Moderator to the - same
purpose. A special committee of conference.on the
subject was appointed to meet one already appoint
ed by the other body. A union of disloyal Presby
terians may therefore be considered tot fait accompli,
though it is to be hoped that the loyal wing of the
Cumberland Assembly will hear and obey the word
" Come out of her my people lest," (ke.
General Synod of the Reformed [Dutch]
Church.—This body met in Geneva, New YoTk,
June s.—Rev. Dr. Strong was chosen President.
The next place of meeting is Hudson, N. Y. On
Friday evening the Free Church delegation had the
ear of the Assembly. The Financial reports do not
indicate the liberality in giving which, we had ex
pected from a Church which holds so large a share
in the wealth of our country. In regard to the
question of a change of name, a committee appoint
ed by last year's ynod submitted a voluminous
report in favor of dropping the word " Dutch " from
the designation of the bhurch. Synod resolved,
after debate, to make that amendment to the name:
yeas 102, nays 7.
Foreign Bodies
The Free Church Assembly.—Dr. Roxburg, of
Glasgow was elected Moderator. The funds raised
for the spread of the Gospel and other schemes of
the Church were reported at £20,473 a decrease of
£277. The report on the State of Religion referred
in terms of congratulation to the work of grace
which had been going on in several parts of the
country. The case of Rev. W. C. Smith came up
from the lower courts. Drs. Gibson and Begg and
their party insisted on a vigorous construction of his
ill-advised words in regard to the Decalogue, and in
rigorous discipline to correspondent.
After a warm debate, the Assembly wisely re
ferred Mr. Smith to his Presbytery for admonition,
and dismissed the case. Against this decision, Dr.
Begg and others gave notice of protest. This de
feat of the " unto' quid," was ominous of the feel
ing of the Assembly on Union.
Dr. Candlish's promised motion to go on with the ne
gotiations and to approve of what has been done by
the Committee, was offered by another mem bar of the
Court, as Dr. C. was absent through a sudden death
in his family. It was carried in the face of a hot
opposition by a vote of three to one. A further
proposal to make the question of the civil magis
trate and his power,—the only question of principle
which still divides the Churches,—an open question
in the united Church, was passed by an overwhelm
ing majority.
The only remaining issues are questiOns of church
management and administration. The economical
system of the Free Church grew out of the red-hot
enthusiasm of the Disruption times, and, as might
be expected, differs widely from that of the United
and Reformed Presbyterians, who have grown up
gradually from small beginnings.
Besides these three principal churches, there are
one or two minor claimants of the Presbyterian
name; as, the Original Secession Church, which
represents the opinions of Erskine and the men of
1742; the Steel and Lusk faction, who left the Re
formed Presbyterians in 1830, and who now unite
with the Reformed Presbytery of America; and the
" Reformed Presbyterian Synod" which separated
from what they call "the seceding majority" some
years ago, on the issue that it was sinful to take the
oath of allegiance.
Assembly of the Established Church of Scot
land.—Dr. Crawford, of the University of Edinburgh,
was made Moderator.
The Synod Of Lothian having dismissed Rev. Dr.
Robert Lee's protest and appeal against the proceed
ings of the Presbytery of Edinburgh, his case would.
in ordinary circumstances, have come up for 'adju
dication at this meeting, but before the Assembly
met, Dr. Lee was stricken down by paralysis, and
his case had to be postponed for a year.
By a majority of one the Assembly decided not to
proceed to investigate the present state of patronage,
and, also to proceed to induct the nominee in a
parish where difficulty had been anticipated. It
was .repOrted that £6,146 had been raised for ex
tending. Presbyterianism in the colonies, and that
three new churches were being erected in India.
The Report . Of the Committee on Intemperance,
among . other things, suggested that the ministers
be encouraged to use efforts for the abolition of ex
isting drinking customs, at funerals and private
baptisms; and also to discourage feeing markets
where farin-Servants are hired ; and to use their in
fluende for . the redubtion of tbe number of public
houses throughout the country. The. Assembly re
solved to Approve .of these suggestions, and. to act
accordingly,.
Reformed Presbyterian Church of Scotland.
this body, too, the question of Re-union was
the great issue, and was acted on in the feeling that
a critical period in the progress of the - negotiations
had arrived. On the que,stion of approving of what
has been done, and proceeding in the work, the de
scendants of the Cameronians and the "Society
People," were even ahead of the larger bodies.
Only a single voice was raised in opposition, and
that. one, like the minority in the 0: S. Assembly,
pleaded for "more light," and did not stay till the
vote was taken, which was unanimous.
The Scottish V. P. • Synod.—This body, the
Supreme Court of the most ,liberal of the Scottish
churches, at its meeting at Edinburgh in advance of
the Free.ChUrch Assembly, was called upon to de
cide its future relation to the negotiations for union.
To avoid new complication s i n this main matter,
.the Synod by arvote of 232 against 136, refused.per
mission for the use of organs in churches, thus
leaving` this questio virata to' Ale good sense of the
united church of the future.
Dr. Cairns submitted a motion, declaring satis
faction at the amount of harmony subsisting be
tween the Churches, 'espeCially on the relation of
the civil magistrate to religion ; expressing, the
opinion that there is no insuperable liar to union in
their distinctive principles,: which might well be
made matters of forbearance in a united church;
and in that belief, reappointing the CoMmittes to
prosecute the negotiation - s. The motion was carried
by an overwhelming majority-389 to 39.
It had been hoped, by some,. that the insults cast
upon this Church by Drs. Begg, Gibson and others
- of the Free Church, would create an insuperable
barrier by rousing the ultra -voluntaryism of the
body; but the result was an agreeable disappoint
ment to moderate' men, and did much to bring the
Free Church into line.
Receipts. were reported—for Home Missions,
£10,286; Foreign Missions, £20,184; Support of
Ministry, £1,570; Church Extension, £846. It
would thus appear that this body far exceeds the
Free Church in liberality at least to outside causes.
