the entire ministry of the Church; took
an additional Missionary station under
its care in Syria; resolved to continue
its labors among the freedmen; and made
preparations to 'obSeirve 'the oidinance of
public covenanting at an early day.
Synod expressed deep concern at the
reviving growth. and influence of secret
societies in the country, condemned them, .
"because their effect is to establish
spurious and artifloial social relations
among men, and` . a new 'code of moral
duties founded on those relations; be
cause the secrecy which they practice
and enjoin, is inconsistent with .the can

and because they assume to establish a
religion distinct from the religion of•Je

"with great satisfaction .the rise of an
earnest and wide opposition to these se

James Gordon, who met.a slidderndeath

came to the conclusion that.there . could
be. no more worthy memorial of their be

handed over to the Foreign Mission Coln

The Future of the Irish Presbyterians.
—The Evangelical Witness of Dublin
says : It will require our united wisdom
and energy to Frovide for the mainten
ance of our present congregations, and
the erection of new ones, as openings
may occur in the providence of God.
We shall have the great question of com
mutation to consider. Should our min
isters consent to commute, we shall re
quire to take measures for having the
money invested safely, and to the best
advantage. 'We must organize at once a
great Sustentation Fund. We must
take such measures as will excite the en
thusiasm of our people in this regard. We
shall require, in addition to our giving,
to raise some £15,000 a year by a great
and united effort. If we waste our
strength in personal collisions, and pre.
sent a divided front, we may anticipate
diSaster and failure.
