In regard to fixing the boundaries of the various presbyteries, which seemed as distinctly assigned to as, we have felt, not only that It would be a most onerous task, which we could hardly do, for all parts, with just discrimination, or to general satisfaction, but that it seemed to fall more properly under the province of the different synods, or their representatives, who conld do it, when assembled, more understand ingly and to the fuller content of those inte rested. For this purpose we shall propose a plan, which seems to combine the advantages of this mode with the expressed wish that this assembly establish the boundaries of presby teries as well as of synods. At the same time, in order to secure some ..uniformity throughout the Church, we recommend your adoption of certain general principles, on which the presbyteries should be constructed. . 1. -That each several presbytery, with the ministers and churches within its limits, be de fined as to boundaries by geographical lines. 2. That presbyteries be enlarged, and the formation of small ones be discouraged; none formed hereafter to consist of less than five ministers, the quorum for business remaining ns heretofore. ; 8. That in the present distribution of presby teries, or their future formation or arrangement by the respective synods, it be recommended that no presbytery consist of less than ten ministers except in outlylag, frontier, and missionary districts, and then be constituted as large as possible. 4. That each city, when not too small, or too large, constitute one presbytery; which shall usually not include territory outside of the city limits, or at most of the county of which it is a part. ' 5. -That when two or more congregations upon different Bides of a synodical or presbyterlal line are under one pastoral ' charge, they shall all for the time belong to that presbytery with which the minister is connected, but only so long as such pastoral relation continues. C. That ministers without charge are required to unite with that presbytery within the geo graphical limits of which they ordinarily reside, or nearest to, and to which they shall be ame nable for the proper discharge of their ordina tion engagements. ' 7. That the presbyteries and synods hereto fore existing, which shall lose their present organization by consolidation under these ar rangements, shall be considered and designated as continuing their succession in that synod or presbytery now constituted, which includes the largest portion, counting both ministers and churches of said body as existing May 19, 1370, to preserve its records, and attend as may be found necessary to Its business and interests. In order, then, to a judicious distribution, reconstruction, and defining of boundaries for presbyteries within the respective synods, when arranged, we recommend the following plan to be adopted by the assembly, viz.: 1. That the commissioners within the bounds of each of their synods so established be ap- Eolnted respectively a committee, to whom shall e referred the whole subject of presbyterlal bounds within their own synod the times and places of the first meeting bth of the synod and the several presbyteries, and all other arrange ments thereto pertaining. 2. That as soon as practicable after their action on this part of our report, the assembly adjourn over a whole day to give their several committees an opportunity to meet and perfect their arrangements and reports within that time. 8. That these reports of such committees, when presented to the General Assembly, and accepted by them, be referred to a special com mittee to be arranged, and embodied in the form of an act, to be submitted to the assembly for their determination. The next general subject is that of represent ation in the General Assembly, and a proper ratio for the same. Your committee, after full and repeated con sideration of this important and difficult sub ject, are of the opinion that a change to Bynodical representation is necessary, in order to bring the numbers In the Asssembly within due limits, and secure equal rights to all parts of the Church. But so far as we can discover the Church generally is not yet prepared for such a change; and the committee desire to avoid all occasion of discord in our United Church, or needless discussions on this subject la this Gencrel Assembly. Therefore, no change from - presbyterlal representation is proposed, but only a change in the ratio and form of re presentation, that the same great object may be secured to a great degree. 1. That the ratio of representation be sqi altered as to provide for one commissioner, a minister, or an elder, from each presbytery having twenty ministers, or less, and In like proportion for any number of ministers over twenty. 2. That wherever the number of members in any presbytery allows a double delegation It be of ministers and elders equally. 8. That in order to equalize, as far as possible, the number of ministers and elders in the assem bly, the presbyteries entitled to a single com missioner, or an equal number, shall send alter nately a minleter or an elder, and it shall be the duty of the synods at their first meetings to arrange the order In which such presbyteries shall send ministers or elders, so that the two classes may be as nearly equal as possible each year. For the relief of the General Assembly in the despatch of business, and to discourage perti nacious litigation in church courts, the com mittee recommend that all appeals, references, and complaints terminate at the svnod, except In relation to questions of constitutional law or the trial of a minister for heresy in doctrine. For the purpose of securing the necessary constitutional changes for the foregoing ob jecto, the committee propose that this General Assembly send down to the presbyteries the fol lowing overtures, viz.: 1. In the Form of Government, chapter x, suc tion -2, after the word ministers to insert "In number not less than five." 2. In the Form of Government, chapter xii, section 2 shall be altered to read Viz.: 'The General Assembly shall consist, as nearly as practicable, of an equal delegation of ministers and elders from each presbytery ia the following proportion, viz., each presbytery consisting of not more than twenty ministers 6hall send a minister or an elder each year.alter nately, and each presbytery consisting of more than twenty ministers shall send one minister and one elder, and In the like proportion one minister of one elder for every twenty ministers in any presbytery; and these delegates, so ap pointed, shall be styled Commissioner to the General Assembly." 3. In the Form of Government, chapter xil, section 4, add to the first sentence, at its close, the following words, 'and which relate exclu sively to the construction of the constitution or the trial of a minister for heresy or doctrine." 4. In tbe Form of Government, chapter xl, at the end of section 4, add the followiug sen tence: "Everv case of tho trial of a miuis'.cr for hereby, and all questions rdutlugexcluilvely to the construction of the constitution, may be carried by appeal or complaint to the General Assembly; in all other canes or questions tho decision of- the synod shall be final. 5. In the Book of Discipline, chapter vil, section 2, to read as follows, viz.: "Every kind of decision which Is formed in any church judicatory, except the highest, may be reviewed by a superior Judicatory, subject to the limita tion or appeals from tbe synod as provided In tbe Form of Government, and may be carried before it in one or the other of the four follow ing ways." . . - - Moreover, It is recommended that the assem bly Instruct and order all Its presbyteries at Hielr firet appoln'cd meeting to vote directly "aye" or "nav ' on these several overtures, and rend forthwith an attested copy of their action to the stated clerk of the assembly, who shall keep accurate account of the same, and report it to the asKcmbly. Furthermore it is recommended that when this assembly adjourns, at the close of Its regu lar bnsiness. it adjourns to meet in this place on tbe third Tuesday of September next, at 11 o'clock A. M., for the purpose of receiving from the presbyteries their responses to these over tures for changes in the constitution, and de claring the result, and for the transaction of no business whatsoever, except what necessarily pertains thereunto. Finally, your committee will close their re port with a suggestion, for the action of the assembly, which they think would secure greater efficiency and despatch in their business. As much time is consumed, and the attention of the assembly distracted with overtures and questions of minor Importance coming tip from various quarters, Impeding the transaction of business of more general Interest, It Is recom mended that the Assembly order that hereafter bills and overtures come up only from synods or presbyteries; yet this may not prevent any committee of bills and overtures from bringing before the house, of its own motion, upon a two-thirds vote of the committee, any matter which they may deem of sufficient importance to engage the attention of the General As sembly. ' ...... . All which Is respectfully submitted. By order of the committee. Geokob W. Mcsoravb, Chairman. ! Edwiw F. Hatfield, Secretary. THE ASSEMBLY. ' Proceeding nt Yesterday Afternoon's Session.
