The unfinished business was imisvbend ed to take up the memorial from the Phil adelphia Presbytery and consider the other papers. Mr. Wylie thought the paper should not be received. The Moderator had so decided. • - Dr. McMaster thought there was no difficulty, as the Presbytery of Philadel phia recognized Synod as the General Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian Churtia. Dr. -Douglas thought the paper should be referred, to a committee to examine it and ascertain whether it is such a paper dbe read in Synod. If it is, no member will object to its being present- ENDS• ed. Rev. J.
