Id the subscription to the Confession of Faith lies the doctrinal basis of the Presbyterian Church ; for I may sav. the faith of the Presbyterian Church everywhere with few exceptions, not only in this country, but in Scotland, in Ireland, in Holland, and among the Re formed churches, is preserved and represented in if. I hold that there is a family likeness running all through these Presbyterian Churches; and that likeness is produced by the Spirit of God, in connection with the great doctrines which Calvin enunciated, as did Augustine partially before him, and which we have smee thrown into this special form. 1 ought, perhaps to go a little further, and state that any other basis of union will, I think, be rejected Very heartily by a large majority of the Presbyterian churches everywhere. I do not. behevedhat, if any set of men attempt to put any of their philosophical definitions and explanations into any concession of faith, the people will assent to 1 1, or the ministry at large. If a, man is billing hon estly to say that he subscribes to the Confession of Faith, ns containing the system of doctrine taught in the Ho!y Scriptures, according to the plain meaning of those terms, answerable to his. God, no man has a right beyond that to quesUpn him; except indeed his Th r° S . ee wh ? thet ' .does believe it. If C ?" feBB,on aa a of subscription, that ,Lt ™Tp CoUra ® we aU in this body, that each Presbytery, when it-licenses or ordains a minister, must examine him personally, in regard to T k , n T le ( d f.° t thes< ? d octripes. I have heard it whis pered, that it is necessary in order to guild against the influences of the doctrines of Pelagianisni and Ar minianism, and those of a sitriilar tendency, that you 1 should ereot additional barriers, in order to.keep out those influences,. You may erect the barriers, but you “ out. If men are insincere and to subscribe to that declaration in terms, they -will' Be insincere and wicked- enough to subscribe: to> Any thing you may put before them; But as to our basis of Union, we are, in this respect,, cath olic, and mean to be. The Presbyterian Church is a church not of narrowness,/but of liberty.,' We believe in diversity of doctrine,•iticTnity in the great funda mentals. And this diversity- if doctrine stodtfoes stal wart men, strong men. Who wants to see ’the-profes sors in Auburn, Newburgh, the Union Seminary, and Princeton, all cast .exactly in the same mould, like men having every feature of‘countenance exactly the same? I would rather see one man with-a Roman nose, and another a Grecian nose; they are men, and they will be good-looking men; too. , 1 would rather ou , j , “ ro ■’! the .Presbyterian Church, that;one man should look at doctrine: from one position; he may magnify it in that positioh; another man. takes it from ''t’viewj arid these views combined con stitute the grand whole. Ni 'nian'is capable of look rng all around' these, great truths;' and of giving every one just At l .®!*.,appropriate; representation. No man has ever had a mind great enough to do it in this world, uninspired of God S himself. Nor did Christ any where present'them thiisin'their totality. l ’Christ. aa y®» , duo case,' “Ye will not' come -to me : that you maybave life.’’’ In another, ;“Te oannot come except the Bather draw you.’-’ And thus (these terms balance, and all, harmonise together. This Westminster Con fession of Faith, we suppose, will be,acceptable to all ,® ~ranches of "the Presbyterian Church, who tire willing to come into the union; and thus we maintain the great doctrinal position of Presbyterianism, the great Calvinistic,.doctrines as distinct from all others.” Dr. F isher mentioned the fact that he had spoken purely extempore, and that he was therefore in .some lack of preparation. On the ufternoon of the next day’lie was followed by Dr. Hodge. That speech Dr. F. read from ti ttT ro P oft ding attention to the way in whioh Dr. Hodge on that occasion disclaimed any more than the mere acceptance of the facts in, general: “The great question, however, is,. What is meant by the system of doctrine” taught'in the Westminster Confession which we all profess to'adopt? On this poiqtmbt only difference of opinion, but no, little mis apprehension appears to prevail. I understood Dr, Fisher the other evening to allude to his Old School brethren, when he spoke of philosophical theories and theological speculations to which assent was'demanded as a condition of union. ; And we have -heard it said on this floor, as well as elsewhere, that commentaries were written on the Confession of Faith, and theadop- JiJ™ or these explanatory comments' was insisted upon. This, Mr. President is an entire mistake. Old Schodl men are satisfied with our standards'. They are will tng they should be adopted without note or comment. If a man comes to us, and he adopts the: system pf doctrine’ taught in our Confession, we have a right to ask him, Do you believe there * are three persohs in the Godhead, the Father, the’Son, and the Holy Ghost., and these three are one God, the same in substance, equal in power and glory?’ If he' says Yes, we are satisfied. Vie do do not call upon him to explain how three persons are one God; or to: determine what re lations in the awful mysteries in the Godhead, are in dicated by the terms Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. “If we ask, do you believe that ‘God created ‘man, male and female, after liis own image, in knowledge, righteousness,;and,-holiness, .with, dominion over the creatures?’, and he answers Yes, we are satisfied. If he says he believes that ‘ the covenant being made with Adam, not only.for. himself,-but for all his pos terity, all mankind descending from him by ordinary generation; sinbed:;inihim, and /fill with ffirnffin his first transgression,’ we are satisfied. If he says that 41 the sinfulness of that es'tafe whereinto man fell con sists in the guilt of-Adam’s firstsin, tile'want of ori ginal righteousness, and the corruption, 'of. his' whole nature, which is commonly palled'Original .sin,-.togeth er with all actual, transgressions which .proceed from it,’ we Are satisfied. If he says,, (Christ executes the office of a'pMest, in His dhee Offering Himself a sacrifice to'satisfy divine justice, and reconcile ns to God, and in making continual intercession forus/. ive arc satisfied- If be sayp-.be believes justification to be ‘ an act of God’s wherein He pardoneth all our sins, andnceeptethusas righteous in. His sight, only for the righteousness of Christ imputed (b us; atid received by faith alone,’ We Are satisfied. Mr. : Presi dent, will you allow me to ask .my brother, .Fisher, whether there ip any metaphysics in this ? (Dr.iFisher: ‘ No, I agree to all of that. ’J. I give you. my. hand, Mr. President, I now appeal to every man in this house, is not this simple, reasonable, ntad right? Is not this what is meant when a man says he adopts our ‘system of doctrine?’ Is not this—nothing more and nothing less—that which wo are authorized and bound to require ? God grant that we may unite on terms so simple, so reasonable, and I must hope so satisfactory to every sincere, humble' Christian brother. (Applause.)" , He also showed that his own acceptance of the statements made on that occasion, was, such as would be made by any man. He took , up., the ■ Catccliism answer about sinning in Adam, and proved! that if one would accept it, ha-must do' so in general, reserving his particular judgment. In this way he then subscribed and always subscribed to theGonfes slon of Faith in general and in spirit, and not in the very words and literalness. We subscribe it, he said, as we understand it. He made this statement to justi fy himself, and to show that at Princeton they did not ask for the ipsiiama verba in subscription. . This was what he had stated to: the Albany Assembly only a short time since. ‘Bis, owp life had brought him into ecclesiastical assemblages ever sinoe he had been twelve years of age. He depired to be right and to have the Church right,for this preseut time and for history. He would accept the present basis, but if he should take e*oeption, it, would, be on the point of ex amination. _ Dr. Spear followed him, ,6tating M first his conclu sion and supplying his premises .afterwards. He intended to vote ibr the r.port made by the Special Committee, and should do so ff its late turned on his vote. That was his conclusion. He proposed after the Methodist.fashj.on to. relate When the movement began', he with a great num ber of others, had doubts. He did<OQt tlti#kiif,ad- visable. He saw 0. S. and N. S-. grojving and po emergency to call for this. There, was no change of mind to promise a success. He had come to the conclusion, especially since'he came here,’ that the feeling prcofeshTWtes-’f'getHirrffr-Prmcetonian Calvin ism that was) predestinates, the . union. The' next stage of the came ip r Harriabarg. . He had i i stenen t o the report. 'J h e-S rst arii c 1 eh e cop 1 d THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 1868 the second he could not, and the tenth lie knew ie could not. He saw the Assembly desirous to aS8 j a l 818 t'nion, How should he venture to stand before the Assembly and speak? That was his trial as to his good conscience. The first article is a generic thesis on the doctrine of allowance, and 1 0C u *l°' *l u,(e touch his view. The second article he had s thought partook too much of law. He bad felt this and had objected to going against the Plan °‘Union churches. On the tenth article he concur red with Dr. Fisher fully. Any other doctrine intro duced into the Church is the doctrine of State rights and impairs its unity. He was delighted with the speech of Dr. Nelson, showing how the clauses of the basis were adopted. He desired to take the spirit and not the letter in the matter. Then the exegetical report had helped him'and also the spe cial report now under discussion. The last if adopted would certify us to the Old. School. Prac tically the result would and will be a unity worth, something. He should vote for the report as before US. Dr* Henry B . Smith, said the Assembly bade fair to prove, as of old, a thoroughly harmonious body. And in this most important question it gave token of being entirely at one. The present basis was not framed by artifice, but had grown up o.ut of the heart and necessity of Presbyterian Church—broad, honorable, permanent, and complete. ; Not,that it satisfies all, but that the problem must be solved.by mutual concession and ensuring of rights. There muet'of necessity be compromise.- It is a great question whether thisJs the best possible world, and Leibnitz replies, not best ideally but.best for its,encL 00, with this basis. Not best for us ideally but yet practically best. Ifthe ; 01d.School were to twist and turn the .basis, then-we should 'view them in such shape that we ought to go'into no union at all. But Presbyteriaris could not raise up such a set of men as to do such an act, in hisopinido. These Churches. fe now not twainbat one-in fact. We are longing; move together. The plan is simply to the common desire. Common ground is all we vvant “not exegesis nor capitulation. This is not a case where victor dictates to vanquished, but where both are victors and both vanquished. He paid a tribute to the fidelity and good-sense of the Joint Commit tee and he adored the Divine Spirit lor the wisdom winch they had shown. He would speak of the rB \° r doctrinal article, , It was superior to the last (1) in containing an express acknow ledgment of the sacred Scriptures. That clause is most important. , (2) The clause or Re formed sense 0 from the Philadelphia Convention.' Last year the’basis failed' in ‘the G. S, Presbyteries, because they were inclined to think that all possible Views were N. S.X2hurch, and that men subscribe ; C&ivinisiic documents «in an Armi nia,nqeqse., It was necessary to vindicate the • N.,S. Church as Mr. Barnes vindicated himself before Presbytery, an.d this has been done in Mr. Barnes' Own phrase then employed. ' Ruling one the ipsis sima verba theory wfe 'must plant ourselves on pro perßeformed ground. .He had had the’honor to open p. o. eyes, by that amendment to see how we stood. History and the.tribunals of the Church,-and no mere man and no mere denomination or faction are . ,*? is the strongest basis of Confesr. Sion, but. if it abridged free i nquiry, or hindered our advance in any way—he accept such a thing. We should go on,‘and that was the'need of that article. (3) The Gurley amendment was. to him no ambiguous phrasing ito express Old School tlieolqgy,{_ What doctrine do we hold, or are we going to ( contend lor, which cannot be brought under that formula? We may tolerate, but,will, never sanction, aught that strikes agaihstthe spirit of that article. As the weakest link in the chain is the strength ol the chain, so the: measure of our laxest doctrine would be the measure ofour strength. The paßt controversies are fast dying out. - We are uppn higher and better ground. Some controversies are dead and pastaway.. And for one, he did not be heve that Albert Barnes could ever again be ar raigned for heresy. .We must run the riak oi human nature—of 0.

We must fight the opinion of our own Assembly of 1833, if ,we would Oppose this tenth Article. ’ ' ' :l SUMMARY. Oar report of the Assembly as usual is so full tliat it'must pun Over into coming numbers. We summar ize the principal proceedings : On Wednesday afternoon of last week the Special Report on Re-union was reported back without amend ment and debated with reference to the tenth article by Dr. Spear, Revi C. S. Armstrong, Rev. Arthur Swazey; Elder A. Morrison, Rev. H. C. Hoyey, and Rf- Stearns and Dr. Patterson, the latter, retaining the floor at the close of the debate. He offered to read a statement from an 0. S. member of the Joint Committee .'jvhom he would not name, but as it was judged discourteous, he simply, gave the substance. Dr. Adams obtained the floor by special permission for five minutes, atyPspoke fifteen; towards the: close of his remarks a, storm of sensation was raised by what, was construed-as a personal allusion to Dr. Pat tersoni^but, which Dr.-A. as promptly explained other wise. J Bohie,iriembers urged to proceed to a vote, but It was ruled out of: order, after much, confusion, Dr. Patterson still,holding the floor; On Thursday, the Assembly was at Gettysburg. Friday morning Dr. Patterson resumed the floor, and opened the day with a magnificent speech on the tenth article, covering the whole ground, and conclu sively disposing of that novelty as far as logic could go. itev. Mr. Eva offered an amendment that an ex pression of dissent and concession ■on this article *be allowed. Dr. Prentiss moved that a statement of dissent be allowed to be entered upon the journal. After pome scattering debate arid’divers motions Mr. Era’s motion (with an amendment by Dr. Butler, pro viding for ascertaining the dissent by a. call of the With adopted. Dr. Patterson, Revs. T. Ambrose Wight, and Arthur were excused from voting on the report as a whole. Of the 248 on the roll, 37 dissented from the tenth article. Of these we hotice Wailh, of Lancaster, Dr, T. R> Smith, of New York, Mr. Eva and Elder Bodine of this etty; Vance, of Erie, Noble, of Pittßburg, M’Corkle, of Detroit, Tay lor, of Athens, 0., Drs. Nelson and Moris, of Lane Seminary, Duffield, of Gulesburg,, Patterson and Swasey, of Chicago, and Brown of Tennessee. Dr. Nelson and three others dissented from the second ar ticle. The basis was adopted by a unanimous vote. On Friday afternoon the Lord’s Supper was celebra ted. The Mileage Committee mode a very favorable report, and a Joint Committee on Synodic boundaries, was ordered. In the evening the Assembly was enter tained by Gov. Geary. On Saturday the Assembly regretting its inability, to join the Grand Arniy of the Republic, in,doing honor to our heroic dead, appointed a Committee to take part. The Committee to memorialise Congress in be half of the Indians reported a memorial which was adopted. " ■' The phrircli' of the Covenant, Netv York 'city, was fixed on as the next plaice of meeting, 1 the O. 8. meetr irig in. the'same city. “Th'e CiWmittee on Home Missions assistant to Secretary Kendall. After reritarks j>y : several' it was adopted. The delegate from the Lutheran General Synod—Rev. G. F. Stelling—was beard. An invita tion, to visit the State Library was accepted 1 with thanks A telegram from Albany that the first article had,passed (186-77) was, read. _ ’ (; On Saturday afternoon , the. Report of the Standing Committee on Church Erecjtipn,, speaking hope fully of the past, and urgently of the future, was adapted. The Judicial Committee was discharge J, and the Society for Promotion of Collegiate Education inthe West recommended to the churches. I> r - John Maysh of Brooklyn, was introduced, as a delegate, from the Secret Society convention at Pittsburgh, but by some very ill-judged remarks on the Temperance-Sojcsießesj lost the ear of the house. ■. - On Monday morning a telegram caine from Albany, say ing that the Basis without amendment had passed, but with the recommendation that the Gurlriy amendment be dropped; so as to make the Basis more simple and more expressive of m utual confidence, and that ;aCom mittee would be on, by 4 P. M., today-this matter'be fore the Assembly. The subject Of religious Amen dments to the U. S. Constitution was dismissed; ,A pro test against the pfeporidierarice of' Episcopalians in in Government chaplaincies ! was adopted, and a coiri- mittee appointed to iririirioril&lize Corigrrissl A com munication from the Free Church' of Scotland and Protestant chapels in Europe was favorably acted ori. The Special Committee’s Report on.

S, Assembly w,as re,oeived—Prs, C. C: Beatty, and, Y. E. Reed, elders Robert Carter and Henry Day. They urged that thCj.Gurley amendment.be cancelled. ~.... This, was urged also by some members of the As-' seutbly, and opposed strenuously by-others. It .came out that at Albany only; the ilasis and not the , intro duction or supplement had been adopted;: 'The/mo-i tion to reconsider' the action i in. adopting the Report' was lost yeas 117, nays 36, there not being two-thirds of the Assembly ,still in.
