lation between themselves and Dr. Cun

full of spiritual benefits; that the church

tion would be an occasion of sorroi and

—At a meeting.of , the Board of Do
mestic Missions, held on the 12th . inst.,
! , `A communieation from,the .I"resby-,
tery of Chicago Nv'aieeiViii;istligeNttog
the raising of $500,000 • for the tpurpose
of establishin g Presby.teriton-chordos in
the West, in commemoration of the re
union of the two braneheMoS the , Pres,
byterian Church, which is , expected to
be' consummated in Novenliber 'next.
After due deliberation, the
resolutions were unanimously adopted,
viz„ ;"
" Roolved 1. That this Board, highly
appreciating the desirableness and the
importance of the object proposed, re
commends that it be referred to the two
General Assemblies which are to meet at
Pittsburg next November.
" F Resolved 2. That it be iecommened
to the. Presbytery of Chicago to com
mence the proposed fund, with a sub
scription of fifty or one hundred thousand
dollars [Query, Is there a sarcasm in
tended ?], and that the many populous
and Wealthy` ditlei and towns in the
West imitate the example of our Chi
cago brethren, in order that the Assem
blies may be encouraged to prosecute
the work, and the Eastern cities and
churches stimulattd to cooperate."
Educational. The endowment of
the University of Wooster, a new Pres
byterian institution, grows constantly. In
the month of June, the increase amounted
to $32,135. This includes the very
generous subscription, by Mr. J. H.
Ranke, of $25,000, for the endowment
of a Professorship.
A Canadian Assembly.—The' Sn.
preme Court of the Canada Presbyterian
Church has hitherto been called a
" Synod," but a Dominion paper says : 7 -
" The Supreme Court of this Church, to
meet next year, will ,be a ‘Gr.enerallAs
sembly' instead of a Synod.' 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. The first meet
ing ot the General Assembly is to be
held at Toronto, in Knot churchion the
evening of the first Tuesday 'in Tune,
1870."
Opinions.--" FAR EksT" writes in
The Christian InstractorW. P.): = " It
requirei neither a prophet nor the son of
a prophet to foresee that our Church is,
even now entering upon a perilous ex
perience. 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. My convictiow
is deep, that it would
,be; our wisdom to
keep minor or doubtful points in, the
background, and rally, around' a great
principle. This we have in an inspired
Psalmody. 'On thia platfcirm we are
united.
" I am persuaded that as the result of
that unfortunate and undignified discus
)st. ,
en ,in the General Asselphly, on Secret.
Societies, our Church is weaker to-day
than hien - for" years. 13ettArZil
hundr6d times better, if the subject had
been summarily smothered by the com
mittee to which it was , assigned."

way of a union of the [Dutch] Refornied a

tion in British Nonconformist circles,
bearing on the question of applying; to
Scotland the principle of the Irish
Church Bill. The parish of Waternish,
in the Isle of Skye, has. a population of
1,200, who were all conneeted'with the
Kirk. But at the time of the disruption
almost the whole. population went over
with the Free Church, including the
patron of the-old church. 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. The
old minister having died, the entire , popu
lation have petitioned the government
that the church might be made over to
them, and that the £l2o' be =longer
paid. There are many similar cases in
the highlands.,

the people of Scotland had always been
averse to a law .which had been thrust
upon them hy unscrupulous -Govern

:This law had led to the various secessions
from the Church, ending with that of
1843, Mr. Gladstone put in reply, to
the evident'sdifiride. nt Dr.' Macleod and
the deputies, the.: very pertinent ques
tion whether, if legislative action were
to be takert 'in the direction indicated,
those who had left the Free Church, the
United Presbyterian bodies—would riot
be disposed to turn round and say that
the ecclesiastical property should be di- -
I vided, and made over to those who had
brirne earlier testimony to the very prin
ciple now contended for. Mr. Robertson,
M. P., himself an Episcopalian, was con
vinced that Government action in this
matter was,all that Fs ae i ,, e , q uired to,.open
the door for the union of t,he 'Estab

he means that the Free Church would
