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

iiAnt in the said city on the same lay, shall here

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

sembly of the Hutted Chnrch In 1070 as It Is entitled
to in the Assembly with which it is now connected.
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:

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. Ai the -time the basis ol reunion was ssW-
milted, a year ago, the relative standing of the
two branches was as follows:'

Church had a membership of 20,116, of which
number 10,128 were connected with the "Old
