ECCLESIASTICAL ACTION ON THE BASIS
OF UNION.
By the following resolutions of the Pittsburgh
Presbytery of the Reformed Presbyterian Church,
it will be seen that a Cordial and unanimous appro
bation of the recent Union Convention has been
given by that venerable body, the largest Presbytery
in the denomination with whieh it is connected, and
considered one of the most "sound in the faith."
This, as far as we are aware, is the first Ecclesiasti
action in regard to the Convention, and it is.grati
lying to find that it is of the .right kind. We shall
print the discussion in an early number of our pa
per.
Resolved, This Presbytery has heard with satisfac
tion the report of the delegates to the Union Nation
al Presbyterian Convention, and ,cordially approves
of the course pursued hy_thent in that Convention.
Resolved, This Presbytery recognizes with pro
found gratitude to God the Spirit of wisdoin and
Harmbny which Heimparted to the Convention.
Resolted; This Presbytery trusts that the General
Synod, at the next meeting, mill follow the recom
mendation to appoint five delegates to carry out the
proposed measures for Union.

MODERATION OF: A GALL.
On Wednesday evening, ()debar! 30th; alneeting
of the Reformed Presbyte:rian Congregation of
Chi
cago was held in the church on Fulton street, for
the purpose of electing , a pastor. ; „Rev. Samuel
Young, Moderator, ,in the chair. After a ahort time
was spent in devotional everciseS, an 'election by
ballots was 'held, which resulted - in the choice' of
Mr. I. Y. Boice. On motion of Mr. EleorgesDar-
ling ! Mr. Boice was declared - to be' the unanin3ous
choice of the congregation. , Thenpirit that pervad
ed the whole meeting was that of love and. harmony,
not a jarring sound, not a factious, word ! Was utter
ed. A.ll,present seemed to be impresseed with the
importance of the act in whiCh they were engaged.
We think their unanimity and earnestness give pro
mise of a •prosperous future, and we hope that the
man of their choice may , be led by-the Spirit of
God, to give a favorable hearing to this Macedonian
cry coming from the great:metropolis of; the West,
and come immediately over and help us. We can
assure him that there is.plenty.of work here to be
done for Christ, and we know of no field in the
whOld"Chlirch more promising or needing more the
labor of earnest workers, who possess cultivated
minds and sanctified energies than the. field to which
brother Boice is'thus invited to some and cultivate.

Died, at her residence, near. East Brook, Lawrence Co.,
Pa., after a lingering sickness o' seven months, of disease
of the heart, Mrs. Margaret 'McCaslin Stunkard, at half
past,2 o'clock, A. M.; Nov. Bth,, , 1867. •
Mrs. Stunkard was born Nov: 23d, 1810, in what was
that Mercer County, now Lawrence, near the Neshannock
Reformed Presbyterian Church. She united with the R. P.
Church in her 16th year, under the late Robert Gibson, at
Little Beaver, whither she had rode on horseback,. some 15
miles from her father's house.
She was married to Win. Stunkard in the fall of 1829;
and 3rought up a family of thirteen' children—six boys and
seven girls, ten of which (five boys an I. five girls) survive
her. Half of these living children have gone from under
the parental roof and have homes of their own, and halt of
them are still at their father's house. May they, and fill
the children, be a blessing and a - cotnfort to him in his de
clining years ! (Mr. Stunkard.is the oldest member of ses
sion in the Noshannock tefOrtned Presbyterian Church.)
Mrs. Stunkard's funeral took place on the 9th of NoVem
ber, 1867, at 10 o'clock, A. M. The services were con
ducted by Bro. MeiVillan, of Hermon, from these. words:—
"It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go
to the house of feasting; for that is the endbf all men;' and
the living will lay it to his heart."
The,very large concourse of people that met on this oc
casion, showed the high esteem in which the deceased was
held, in the community in which she lived and died. The
place where she died is but two or three miles from the
spot where she was born, and the burying ground, where
her body was laid to rest, to await," the voice of the arch
angel and the' trump of God,"' adjOirting. the' Nesha.nnock
church, is but a very short distance from the old MoCaslin
farm, the place of her nativity.
Mrs. Stunkard was a plain, candid, unsophisticated wo-
I man. Towards the close of her life she found her' greatest
pleasure in , reading the Word of God. She could say with
the Psalmist,

Dn. T. ALLCOCK-Sir: I have been suffering under a se
vere attack of neuralgic disease of my bowels for years, with
hypertrophy of the heart, and have tried everything known
to the practice of medicine from the very best M.D's.,
truth prompts me to say that your plasters have given me
-more permanent relief than anything else I have used, and
I believe will produce a perfect cure.
The counter-irritant effect of your plasters is produced in
such a mild and gradual way, they so invigorate the circu
lation around.the parts to which they are applied, and ex
ert upon all nervous diseases such a great sedative influence,
that I place them confidently at the head , of every plaster
now in use
