ed, that the General Assemblies at their ensuing
meetings may safely consummate the union of the
two bodies without any further reference to the
Presbyteries; and we herewith authorize our
General Assembly to consummate the union, in
connection with such action as may be taken in
the Other Branch, on such terms as in their wis
dom may seem best." Commissioners Rev. D. K.
Steele and Elder 0. H. Fitch; Alternates, Rev.
W. F. Milliken and Elder A. Canfield.
Th e P r esbytery of Alton met at Brighton re
cently. The attendance was large. Nothing new
was done on the subject of reunion. The action
of last spring remains, The Commissioners to
the Asssembly are, ministers : G. C. Clark, Jas.
W. Stark; Elders : Lewis Potter,
David Beaty.
Rev. Chester S. Armstrong, of Lansing, Mich.,
has accepted a call to the First church of Alton,
and is expected about the middle of May.
The Presbytery of ,Fart Wayne uiet in the Se
cond church of Fort Wayne. One new church
was received, and ,another will be organized at
the next meeting of Presbytery. Two churches
have enjoyed special revival influence; and all
our churches now have the stated preaching of
the Word. Rev. H. L. Brown, of Marion, and
Elder J. L. Knight of Wabash, were. elected
Commissioners to General Assembly. Presbytery
had• already unanimously approved of the basis
of reunion sent down by our General Assembly,
and now as 'unanimously approved of the amend•
ments suggested by our members of the Joint
Committee. The Stated Clerk says :
" If the Old School will not adopt,the amend
ed basis which includes the Standards pure and
simple,' then they do not really wish reunion,
and all negotiations on the subject ought to cease
at once. Our ministers and people are all weary
of this long-continued suspense.'
Knox and Watertown Presbyteries adopt the
Basis, and the .Committee's modifications, and
incorporates the further language of the Commit
tee, viz.: "It being understood, however, that
by agreeing to the omissions in question, the
Presbytery do not relinquish nor deny the right
to all reasonable liberty in the statemont of views
and the interpretations of the Standards as gen
erally expressed in the First Article as it now
stands." Should the above fail, Presbytery con
sents to a union on the. Standards pure and sim
ple
Washtenaw Presbytery adopted the Basis and
Committee's Amendments, but at the same time
expressed the conviction that the first step in the
negotiations be the repeal of the Exscinding 'Act
and the " Imperative Rule." It was also thought
best that a new Committee be appointed to report
to the Assemblies of 1870, and so arrive at a more
matured conclusion drawn from a more intimate
knowledge of all the facts of the case.
Cedar Rapids Presbytery has adopted the Ba
sis, and after considerable discussion, the Com
mite's Amendments. Two of the members ex
pressed dissatisfaction with the Tenth Article,
doubtinc , r , much whether a union should be at
tempted upon any terms until greater confidence
is manifested on the part of the Old School
Church.
The Presbytery of Saginaw was pretty much
Unanimous for the recommendation of our Com
mittee of Fifteen. Two new members were re
ceived, and two new churches (St. Charles and
Tama), making over twenty ministers and nine
teen or twenty churches in the body. Revivals
were reported as South Saginaw. Seventeen were
lately received, and ten baptized. Vassar also
reported forty conversions,
of whom twelve or so
are claimed by the Methodists.—" Ambrose" an
The Evangelist.
The Presbytery of Northern Missouri met at
New Providence, April 23d. [This church was
organized in August, 1834, by Rev. David Nel
son, author of " Cause and Cure of Infidelity,"
who in 1837 was driven out of Missouri by the
Slave oerats. The most of the mob are dead,and
not one has ever been known to have become in
terested in the great salvation. All three of the
original elders have always been anti-slavery, and
all are now living in, churches, the off-shoots of
this old vine. Two of these elders were present
at the meeting. There were present, also, three
ministers, students of Dr. Nelson, who joined him
after he went to Illinois. The log dwellino• in
which the Doctor preached and organized the
church still remains in good preservation. Two
neat frame houses of worship have been its suc
cessors.] The recommendation of the General
Assembly's Reunion Committee was adopted af
ter some discussion, and some discretionary power
was given the Commissioners as to voting for
union on the basis of the Standards. Mr. R. W.
McAfee, a student in Pardee College, Louisiana,
Mo., was received as a candidate for the minis
try. This is the third candidate Presbytery hus
under its care. Rev. A.S.. Powell was dismissed
to Presbytery of Schuyler, Illinois. Additions
to the working foree'of Presbytery are expected
on the ground very soon. Rev. John Kendall,
of Madura, India, was present, and did much to
awaken a missionary spirit in Presbytery and the
congregation.
Kansas Presbytery has unanimously adopted
the Basis of Reunion and the Committee's
Amendments.
The Presbytery of lowa City met in Victor,
lowa, on April 23d, received Mr. Snashall, a li
centiate of Cayuga Presbytery, N. Y., and or
dained him, together with Mr. Robert Court,
previously received from the Presbytery 'of Glas
gow, Scotland, to preach the Gospel. Mr. Court
is stated supply of the church of Malcom; and
the latter of the Victor church, and that of War
ren township. They are most acceptable to the
people as preachers. Presbytery answered the
overture of our Assembly again, "in addition to
our former action, approving of the recommend
ation of our Committee of Thirteen; and also in
structing our Commissioners to vote for any plan
the Assembly may adopt for the reunion of the
two Assemblies." The Commissioners to the
Assembly are Rev. 'Abner D. Chapman and _El
der Wm. Ballatityne. - Presbytery has overtured
the Assembly on the necessary enlargement of
the plan of church erection, so as to embrace and
report yearly all collections now made outside of
the New York Committee and custodians of the
funds.

meeting at Santee Agency, Nebraska. Rev.-S.

proved, the amendments of .the Co.tumitteO On
Reunion were approved.
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, MAY 13, 1869.
The Presbytery of 21evada, represented in
the coming Asssembly by Rev. A. M. Stewart,
is formed by the consolidation of the former
Presbyteries of Sierra Nevada and Washoe. It
votes for the Basis of 1868, and has had, and
will have, in all probability no opportunity to al
ter its record before the coming Assembly.
Presbytery of San Francisco met at the How
ard church, the 14th. Rev. A. 11. Sloat was re
ceived from the Presbytery of Newark, N. J.
A Committee was appointed to draft resolutions
respecting the death of Rev. I. H. Brayton. The
Presbytery consented to the proposed amendments
of the " Basis of Union." Rev. D. McClure
asked a dismission to the " Presbytery of the
Independent Church of Oakland," which called
forth the following resolution :
Resolved, That the request, of Rev. David
McClure for a letter of dismission from this Pres
bytery to the so-called "Presbyterian Church, to
cated at Oakland," be not granted, and. for the
following among other reasons-Ist. This Pres
bytery has no official knowledge that there is-any
Christian Presbyterian Church under that title
in this State. 2. That the 'organization 'which is
reported to have adopted the name Of " Indepen
dent Presbyterian Church of Oakland," is in no
sense worthy of recognition by us as a Chtirch of
Jesus Christ, being made up largely', as 'We are
informed and believe ' of Tiersons , whose religious
views—as set forth by the person Who is their
acting minister—have heert,pronounce.d by the
Presbytery of San Jose, after careful examina
tion, to be. opposed to — the truthis .held by the
Presbyterian Church of the United States..._.
Rev. Mr. McClure then declared his renuncia
tion of connection with the Presbytery, and the
church represented by, it, and aske,d that his name
be stricken from the roll of members of.the
Presbytery. Action upon this request was dn
ferred to t i he October meeting.

Waltham Watches
That the American Watch is superior in accuracy as a

Tale, is now generally conceded by the intelligent. It is
so made as to render imperfection a physical possibility
The question now is: "Which is the best American
Watch" Then follows: "Which thoroughly good watch
is really the cheapebt?" We answer
The Waltham Watches have stood the test of time,
Waltham is the original seat of American watch-making
The idea of making our own watches, and making each
piece of machinery specially adapted thereto, so that a
piece lost or broken may surely be replaced by a similar

Waltham as cheaply and excellently as anywhere on

getting a first-rate time keeper at a moderate price.
