THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA., TUESDAY, MAY 17, 1870. ICnrUiiliMtt from ,irrlJ ftyrs.l ile entertainment. The revival of rtnomini ticnftl eal In the Congrepatlonal Church which t riinp tip rrr.e years after , the peparution drew rrff much of the foreign1 unci discord nf, clement vvbih bnd brouirht this separation abont. The nipply of minsters from the theo-' op5cl tclioola. nhose Preatiyterliintam was nn-i fjneftioned became jrreftth' increased, and event-, nallj the "New School" seminaries at New York, Auburn, and Cincinnati, and the ''Old 8cboor" fominarics at Princeton. Allegheny, and I'nnvi'.le, were found sufliciently prosperonn to fill the vacant pulpits, without any draft being made upon the Concrepulonal seminaries at Andovcr and New ITavcn. A significant Indica tion of the barmonizing spirit which was begin ning to .prevnll was the -fact that the churches lelonglng to either branch did not hesitate to t all to their ministrations the students of semi naries imdi r the control of the opposite branch. The "Nrw irhool' itlnken a Formal Advance. Under these circumstances, when, after the lapse of jnst a quarter of a century, a formal tendrr towards reconciliation was made by the "New School," it met with unexpected favor. It came from Frofessor Henry B. Smith, of the l'nion Tbeoioical Seminary at New York, who, mi Moderator of the "New School" Assembly of JW3, In the sermon which he preached at the opening of the succeeding Assembly, took for Lis theme 't'liristian Union and Ecclesiastical Keunlon." I'rHlinlnnrT Xrarotlntlnn. This was the first step leadlug to the opening of a correspondence bptween the two General Assemblies, and In 1800, "when the two bodies met at the same time at St. Louis, measures were taken towards bringing about a reunion by the appointment of a joint committee of thirty fifteen from each "School" to prepare and sub mit a basis for it, the overtures coming, in this instance as at the outset, from the "New School" branch. From that date forward the subject was kept constantly before both branches of the Church, and was discussed eagerly and earnestly in the Prt'hbvtenes, Synods, and Assemblies, in lamphlets, church journals, and reviews. The two branches were gradually adopting the same standards, working on the same plan, aiming at the same results, and necessarily drawing nearer jind nearer together. The report of the joint committee appointed at St. Louis, in 1800, was presented in the fol lowing year to the "New School" Assembly at Kociiextcr by Dr. Adams, and to the "Old School" Assembly at Cincinnati by Dr. Beatty, and received a bearty welcome. Some discus sion was bad over it in the latter, but both bodies finally voted to send it down to the Pres byteries for r.atiucationaccording to the under stood law. The "New School'' Presbyteries ratified the proposed basis; but, dissatisfaction being manifested on the part of those of the Old School" with a portion of the basis, it was somewhat modified by the General Assembly of 1SG8 that, of the "New School" meeting in Har risburg, and that of the "Old School" in Albany in pursuance of the report of the joint com-, icitlee, prepared at a meeting held in this city in March of that year. An extended discussion over this report wan held in both the Assemblies of 108, the basis being, however finally adopted by both, despite objections which were raised ' in each to some of its points. When this pro posed basis went down to the Presbyteries of 1809 for their action, it encountered an indirect opposition in many of those of the "Old School" branch, which voted to approve, not the report of the joint committee, but the basis as amended by many unauthorized parties. The "Plan of Reunion" Finally Submitted. On the 20th of May, 1809, the two Assemblies wet in New York, the "Old School" in the Brick Church, at the corner of Fifth avenue and Thirty-fifth street, and the "New School" in the Church of the Covenant, at the corner of Park Avenue and Thirty-fifth street. Still further modifications were made in the basis by the joint committee, and the final report, as agreed upon by it unanimously, was presented to the 4 'Old School" Assembly on the morning of May 27, by the Rev. George W. Musgrave, of this city. At the evening session of the same day, after a long discussion, it was adopted, the vote standing 5J yeas to 8 cays, with 31 mem bers absent. Ou the morning of the 37th likewise, the re port of a basis of reunion was presented in the "Old School" Assembly, by the Rev. William . Adams, D. D., of the Madison Square Church, New York, and, after several hours discussion, it was adopted by a unanimous rising vole. The "Plan of Reunion" thus adopted consisted of a preamble and six articles, reading as fol lows: Believing that the Interests of the Redeemer'! kingdom would be promoted by the healing of our divisions, and that the two bodies bearing tbe same name, having the same constitution, and eacn recognizing the other as a sound and orthodox body, no rordtntr to the principles oi tne couitismon com mon to both, cannot be justified by any but the most imperative reasons In maintaining separate and, In some respects, rival organizations, we are now ciearlv of the opinion that the reunion of those bodies ought, as Boon as the necessary steps can be taken, to be accomplished upon the basis hereinafter set forth l. Tbe Presbyterian Churches in the United States of America, namely, that whose General Assembly nnveneri in the ltrick Uhuren in ine city or Mew York ob the 20th dav of Way, 108tf, and that whose General Assembly met in the Church of the Cove- iiAnt in the said city on the same lay, shall here united as one Church, under the name and style of ih Presbvterlan Church in the United States f America, possessing all the legal and cor borate riirhta and powers pertaining to the Church previous to the division la 133S, and all the legal and corporate rights and powers which the separate cnurcnes now possess, o The reunion shall be effected on the doctiinal and ecclesiastical basis ol our common standurds the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments shall h acknowledged to be the Inspired Word of God, and the only infallible rule of faith and practice; the Confession of Faith shall continue to be sincerely rpi i lved and adopted as containing the system of doctrine taught In the Holy Scriptures; and the covernment and discipline of the Presbyterian Church in the l ulled Mates shall be approved ss rontalning the principles and rules of our 8. Each of the said Assemblies shall imorait the foregoing basis to iu Presbyteries, which shall be required to meet on or bciore the 15th day of Octo ber. 1669, to express their approval or disapproval of the same by a catagoncal answer to the following qUfyou approve of the reunion of the two bodies now claiming the uaroe and rights of the Presbyte rian Church in the United States of America, on the following hauls, namely : "The reunion shall be effected on the doctrinal aad ecclesiastical basis of our common standard; the Scriptures of the Old and Niw Testaments shall be acknowledged to be the inspired word of Uod, and the onlr infallible rule of faith and practice ; the Confession of Faith Khali continue to no mnceroiy roceiveu ana auupicn as containing the system of doctrines taught In the Holv scriptures; and the government and disci pline of the Presbyterian Church in the United Mates shall be approved as containing the principles chPresbytery'shall. before the 1st day of No nber lU forward to the Stated Clerk of the General Assembly with which it is connected, a SaMnDt of it vote on the aaid UasU of Keuniou. i Slid General Assemblies now sitting shall, alter finishing their business, adjourn to meet in the ... r i"ttt5burg.

Accompanying the report of tbe "Plan of Re union," and adopted with it by both Assemblies, was a aeries of declarations upon matters per taining to tbe interests of the Chnrch when it should be reunited, which, It was thought, would manifestly require adjustment on the coming together of two bodies which bad so long acted separately. These were adopted, "not as arti cles of compact or couvenant, but as in their judgment proper und eqnltable arrangements" for securing "a previous good understanding.' These declarations, among other thlng,proviled that all tbe ministers and churches embraced in the two bodies should be admitted to tbe same standing in tho united body which they may have held in their respective connections up to tbe consummation of tho union; required all im perfectly organized churches that Is to say, those in which the Congregational element still predominated to become thoroughly Presbyterian as early as possible within the allotted period of five years; prohibited any rule or precedent which doos not stand approved by both bodies from being taken as authority until re-established in the united body, except in so far as such rule or precedent may affect the rights of property founded thereon; provided for the consolidation of the corporate rights of tho two Assemblies, for one set of Boards for Missions and other Church enterprises, and for the revision of the Church publications so as to exclude invidious references to. past controver sies; urged the Thcologic.il Seminaries not under Assembly control to place themselves in that relation to the Church; and exhorted all the judicatories, ministers, and people In the United Chuich"to study the things which make for peace, and to guard against ail needless and offensive references to the causes" of division. Hie "Plan of Krttnlon" Ratified by the Pre, b' ttrlen. In accordance with the third article of the basis of reunion, the different Presbyteries con nected with the two branches preceded to vote upon the questions submitted to them. The two Assemblies, pursuant to adjournment, met again in Pittsburg, on November 10, 1809, to hear and act upon the report of the vote. The report to the "Old School" Assembly showed that all the Presbyteries of this branch except twelve had answered in writing, and of the total of 144, an alllmative response was made by 128, and a negative response by 3 only those of Hudson, Rio de Janeiro, and West Lexington. The vote of 58 "Old School' Presbyteries was unanimouB. Not Including Presbyteries in which the divided vote was not specified in the answer and those in which the want of una nimity was expressed only by "non liquet" and "excused from voting," there were 245 negative votes distributed among GO Presbyteries In about equal proportion of ministers and of ruling elders. The Presbytery ot Nassau reported a formal protest along with the detail of negative votes. The vote of all the "New School" Presbyteries was in favor of the basis of reunion, that of one hundred of them being unanimous, while in each of three others there was but one negative vote. This singular unanimity was, in fact, but reflex of the general favor with which the pro ject of reunion was regarded by both branches of the Church. As soon as it was evident that a vast majority of both schools was in favor of reunion, such leading opponents of the project as Professor Charles llodge, of the Princeton Theological Seminaiy("Oid School"), acquiesced in the result, the members of the Breckinridge family, with characteristic stubbornness, being the only persons of prominence even in the "Old School" brunch who continued to mnke factious opposition. The Ceremonies of Reunion. The "Plan of Reunion" having been thus rati fied by a much larger majority than was re quired, the two Assemblies proceeded to con summate the reconciliation by formal and solemn ceremodies. Each body, in accordance with the report of a joint committee, met on the morning of November 13, and at 10 o'clock the vote In favor of reunion was formally de clared, immediately after which It was dissolved in the usual manner. The members of the two Assemblies then repaired to the street, where, in the presence of a large concourse of specta tors, they formed a joint procession and marched to tht Third Presbyterian Church, the large edifice attainable, where a jabilee meeting was held. After purely devotional exercises, the Rev. Dr. Fowler, the late moderator of the "New School" Aesembly, arose, and prefacing his action by a few remarks, turned to the Rev. Dr. Jacobus, the late moderator of the "Old School" Assembly, whose hand he clasped, the entire audience rising and singing "Praise God from whom all blessings flow, l'ralne Him all creatures here below ; Praise Htm above, ye Heavenly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost," Dr. Jacobus then said: "These Churches have been united; if any one has good reasons to offer why the Churches should not be united, let him state them now;" and then turning to Dr. Elliott, who was Moderator of the General Assembly when the separation took place in this city in 1838, he asked "Do you know any reason why they should not be united ?" To this query the venerable Dr. Elliott responded, "I do not." George II. Stuart, Esq., of this city, who, although connected with another branch of the great Presbyterian denomination, was an interested spectator of this impressive scene, then fittingly erclaimed "What God has iolned to-rether. let not man put asunder!" and not man put asuuuer s ana from that moment thenceforth the distinctions of "Old School" and "New School' ceased to exlut. The Iteunlte Church, In 18&-, previous to the pssage ot the "Ab scinding Acts" and the aicluslon of the four Congregational Synods, the Church presented the following statistics: Kvnods 23 Presbvteries Ministers Churches Communicants The "Old School 135 2,140 2,85 , 220,667 branch, from the start, was inferior ln numbers to the ''New School, and, although both branches increased rapidly daring the period of separation, the number of commo nicanU being nearly doubled, the "Old School" maintained its ascendancy in this respect to the last.
