Church.' I think I may say It Is impossible to exaggerate the sincerity of the !lateral sympathy In the dilatations between these relatively separate bodies. It would not be right to-ay. that the causes which separated us were seddentaL The allegation might im pugn the wisdom -or moderation of our fathers. These causes have poised Into the history of our churches. During. one hundred sod fifty years we have sot failed to show vitality and vigor. We were children of strife before our birth. Amid comfilet and protest, It was ours to Rind trate progress and freedom. Distant and ups-- Milan have learned tie to love each other better, end to exercise a mem' kindly spirit - than when we wrangled and distrusted each other. An in terchange of Christian courtesies would have titer desired long ago. It has begun now never to end. Cals It be more wisely employed. than in devising some plan by which we may exert Mime elethents of strength! Can we not de glee come plan by which ;our ministers may be more useful, and our load churches more effec tive? The Cody which I represent was never mere milted and pear:crises, I hope, than it Is Ibis hour. Your , Asiembly from the beginning made Its preecUsgainst the sin of slavery and the crime of armed treason—a protest which It has newer evened from. Years brightening for the fu ture are stretching before us. God lifts from the /audits hideous hearse and shroud. It Is now ourduty to supplant - the perverted ministers of the South who have aided In the rebellion—the blind leaders of the .blind—s ministry without whoireteachieg slavery would never have cal minded In armed and bloody treason. It is our purpose to reclaim these men; or, failing in that, wash cur bands of their guilty fellowship. America's Ethiopia Articled out her hands to God to-day. Let no minor details of policy di vet our thoughts from the supreme interest ef the weighty task which devoted; upon us. As our victoria= heroes are returning from the war, let ni remember that the day is coming when we too, II faithful, may carry our tattered banners aro ehields to hang them up In the halls of the Eternal God. As we, your brethem, press for ward In the good woritose nay Wept% All hail! The Moderator made a short response to the rallaillinTA or the delegates. The easporded order of businces was again plumed, the consideration of the Report of Ma Cem mitten on Bills and Overtures. nee. Mr. Chamberlain moved that the part .of the - memorial which bad been stricken on, be re done,. Adopted. Rev. Dr. Itiontford offered a substitute for the Report of the Committee on Bills and Overtures. lie said the object of the substitute is that noth g ehonla be raid about reorgatereng or =eer ie% church property, two objectiopaele points In the Report. This is the main diffecnee. It peeler.. aloe that where two Presbyteries are formed into eon, trey eaaastttt mem ILO names r. treCtivtly. on motion, the first part of the Report wee laid on the table. Bee. Dr. Brecidesidge. of Kentucky, in a half hour's adieu, expressed his views oo the :Memo rial to the-Assembly, which had been adopted. Nevoid It always gave him pain to differ from brethren. especially when the difference was wide, and more especially when the point of aff luence is one which would excite feeling or an. imadou. Yet It would seem that it was a duty which he owed to the brethren associated with Lim at home, whom he =presented, If not to the interest of tho church at large, humbly, respectfully and .reverentlaily to all the members with whom be was sorry to differ. to deptere the policy of action presented by the me modal. Among some of our safest ana most prudent cooeeilors the memorial does not Sod fa vor. In speaking on this subject to members Who signed it, he learned that some of them had attactel their signatures without knowing the purport of the paper, and had expressed regret at nadir g that It did not meet the wants of the locality which he =petered!. "Why," said they, "we thought this was what you wanted." No, he replied, this. is not what we desire. If retried out by the Ausembly, It will greatly Om ega and min it. The system of Church government Which onr fathers gave us, Is as perfect a system as human *fedora can make: Ido not say they were In spired, Ltd they were men taught by God. Rule /glum on the' Church government was wholly needless; but-lf it be true, me, we not rely up theret to meet the exigiencies of the cue? If be anything to amend, should wo not go carefully about It, and submit it to all the beetl e ore. The secretion of the other branch of the Clmreh (the New Behool)was accepted as com pfcte.
