The difference between the twO is, that. whereas a Synod is composed of all the ministers within the bounds, with elders' in proportion—or as many as are chosen or able to attend, a General Assembly is a representative body, to which each Presbytery sends a certain proportion of its members as delegates. The represen tation in the General Assembly is to con sist of one.third of the whole number of ministers on the'roll of the several Pres byteries, with an equal number of acting elders. If the number in any Presbytery be not exactly divisible by three, the third of the next higher number so divisible shall be taken.

After the consummation of union between the two <largest branches. of the Presbyterian Church, ours, as stil,l maintaining a distinct organization, will assume a new relation to the religious world, and be compelled to give a clear and emphatic reason why. So greatly will the United' Church pießondstate over ours, and . cast shaVw upon that nothing but the wisest management of our affairs, together with the 'most dignified bearing in ' all our discussions, will secure the alle.iance of our minisL, ters and people, and neutralize the at tractive influence which a preponderating body is suie `to` When the* , for union. arriTes,-we will all doubtless hail it 6vith In the meantiide, hoW- ever, lest our ranks melt 'away, and we be compelled to drift into union, to avoid the shame of disintegration, ,we must so draw our lines, and discipline our forces, that when the time comes we may, enter the anticipated union, rank and file, with our colors flying.

This left the minister in possession of the manse and church, and the gOernment grant of £120; while for years he has had but two hearers, both old men, both elders;, one the clerk and the other beadle, while there was no deacon nor precentor.
