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.
