text of the Report and Plan: ••

with anxious interest the reading of the

- chairman of the Committee, came for
ward, amid profound silence, and said
that he took pleasure in informing the
Aisembly that the report of the Joint
Committee, composed of ten delegates
froth each body, was • a unanimous one;
that although the different interests of
both branches of the Church were ear

sidere fotind, at last, converging In one
result. He then proceeded to read, in a
clear and distinct voice, three papers,

`PLAN OF FIZUNION OF THE PRESBYTERIAN
cuuncn IN THE UNITZD STATES OF
AMERICA.
Believing that the interest of the Re
deemer's.kingdom would be promoted by
the healing of our divisions, and that the
two lx:odies bearing the same name, hay
the lame Constitution, and each recog
nizing the other as a sound and orthodox
bcidy , according to the principles of the
confession common to both, cannot
be, Justified by any but the most
imperative reasons in maintaining
separate .and, in some respects,
rival organizations; we are now
clearly of the opinion that the reunion of
those bodies ought, as soon as the neces
sary steps can be taken, to be accom
plished, upon the basis hereinafter set
forth :
1. The Presbyterian Churches in the
United States of America, namely, that
whose General Assembly convened in the
Brick Church in the City of New York,
on the 20th day of May, 1869, and that
whose General Assembly met in the
Church of the Covenant in the said City,
on the same diy, shall be reunited as one
Church, under the name and style of the
Presbyterian Church in the United States
of America, possessing all the legal and
corporate rights and powers pertaining to
the Ckurch previous to the division in 1838,
and all the legal and corporate rights and
powers which the separate Churches now
possess.
2. 'The reunion shall be effected n the
doctrinal and ecclesiastical basis
ci:L f our
common standards ; the Scriptures f the
Old and New Testaments shall . ac
knowledged to be the inspired w d of
•God, and the only infallible role of faith
and practice; the Confession of Faith
shall continue to be sincerely re iv i ed and adopted as containing the syst bf
doctrine taught in the Holy Scriptures,
And the government and discipline of the .
Presbyterian Church in the United 'States
shall be approved as containing the prin
.ciples and rules of our polity. '
8. Each of the said Assemblies
submit'the foregoing basis to its Pi
teries, which shall be required to mi
or before the 15th day of October,
to express their approval or disapi
of the same, by a categorical answ
the following question:
Do you approve of the reunion of the
two bodies now claiming the nama and
rights of the Presbyterian Church ip the
United States of America, on the follow
ingi basis, namely: "The reunion shall
be eected on the doctrinal and ecclesias
tical asis of our common Standards; the
Seri; urea of the Old and New Testaments
11 )
..shall acknowedged to be the inspired
word of God, and the only infalible rule '

Churchei shall be entitled -to the same

connected.
CONCURRENT DECLARATIONS OF TEE GEN
ERAL ASSEMBLIES OF 1869.
As there are matters pertaining to. the
interests of the Church when it shall have
become reunited, which will manifestly
require adjustment on the coming together
of two bodies which have so long acted
separately, and concerning some of which
matters it is highly desiralfie that there
should be a previous good understanding,
the two'Asseniblies agree to adopt the fol
lowing' declarations, • not as articles of
compactor covenant, but as in their judg
ment proper and,:equitable arrangements,
to wit:
1. All the ministers and churches em
braced in the trio bodies should be ad--
mitted to the same standing in the united,
body, which they may have held in their'
respective connection up to the consum
mation of the union.
2. Imperfectly organized churches -- are
counselled and expected to become
thoroughly Presbyterian as early within
the period of five years as may be per
mitted by the highest interests to be con
sulted, and no other such churches shall
be hereafter received.
3. .The boundaries of the several Pres
byteries and Synods should be adjusted
by the General Assembly of the united
Church. -
4. The official records of the two
branches of the Church for the period of
separation should be preserved and held
as making 'up the one history of the
Church; and no rule or precedent
which does not stand approved by both
the bodies, ,should be of any authority
until re-established in the united body,
except in sgfar as such rule or precedent
may effect the rights of property founded
thereon.
5. The - corporate rights new held, by
the two General Assemblies, and by their
Boards and Committees, should, as far
as practicable, be consolidated, and ap
plied for their several objects as defined
by law.
6. There should be one set of Commit
tees or Boards for Home and Foreign
Missions and the other religions enter
prises of the Church; which the churches
should be encouraged , to sustain, thotigh
free to cast their contributions into other
channels if they desircto do so.
7. As soon as practrcable after the
union shall have been effected, the Gen
eral Assembly- should reconstruct and
consolidate the several Permanent Com
mittees and Boards•which now belong to
the two Assemblies, so as to represent, as
far as possible with impartiality, the
views and wishes' of the two bodies con
stituting the united Church. r
8. The publications of the Board of
Publication and ofl the Publication Com
mittee should continue to be issued as at
present, leavingtit to the Board of Publi
cation of the united Church to revile
these issues and perfect a catalogue for the
united Church so as to exclude Invidious
references to, past controversies.
9. In order to a uniform system of
ecclesiastical super vision, those theological
seminaries that are now under Assembly
control may, if their Boards ot Direction
so elect, be transferred to the watch and
care of one or more of the adjacent
Synods; and the other seminaries are ad
vised to introduce, as far as may be, into
their constitutions, the principle of Synod
ical or Assembly supervision; in which
case they shall be entitled to an official re
cognition and approbation on the part of
the General Assembly.
10: It should be regarded as the duty
of our judicatories, ministers and people
in the united Church, to study the things
which' make for peace, and to guard
against all needless' and offensive refer
ences to the causes that have divided us;
and in order to avoid the revival of past
issues by the continuance of any usage in
either branch of the Church, that has
grown out of former conflicts, it is earn
' esti) , recommended to the lower judica
tories of the Church that they conform
their practice in relation to all such usages,
as far as is consistent with their convic
tions of duty, to the general custom of. the Church prior to the controversies that
resulted In the separation.
RECOMMFISDATION OF A DAY OF PRAYER.
' That the counsels of Infinite Wisdom
may guide our decisions ' and the blessing
of the Great Head of the Church rest
upon the result of our efforts for reunion,
it is earnestly recommended to the church
es throughout both brunches of the Pres
byterian Church, that they observe the
second Sabbath in September, 1869, as a
day of fervent and- united prayer to Al
mighty God, that he would grant unto
us all "the spirit of counsel and might,
the spirit of knowledge and the fear of
the Lord," and in the new relations now
contemplated, enable us to "keep the
unity of the Spirit in the bonds of peace."
The Philadelphia Press says: Under
this new consolidation the Presbyterian
Church of the United States will embrace
in its bounds some ' three millions of
souls', or nearly one.twelfth of the popu
lation of the whole country. The last

107 SCHENCK'S IPIITL*ONIC
SYRUP. SEAWEED TONIC AND
MANDBA.KE,,PILLS will cure Consumption,
Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia, If taken accord
lug to directions. They are all three to be taken
at the same time. They cleanse, the stomach, re
, lat tee livor and - Ma it,to work; then the appetite
becomes good; the food digests and makes good
blood; the patient begins to grow In flesh; the
diseased matter ripens into the lungs, and the
patient outgrows tee disease and gets well. This
is the only way to cureconsumption.
To these three medicines Dr. J. H. Saienck, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivaled success in the
treatment of Pulmonary Consumption. The Pul
monlc Syrup ripens the morbid matter in the
lungs, nature throws it off by au ea.y expectora
tion, for when the phlegm or matter Is ripe a,
slight cough will throw It of. and the patient has
T rest and the lungs begin to e
do, this, tile Seaweed ionic and Mandrake
Pills runs: be freely used to cleanse the - stomach
and liver, so that the Pulmonlc Syrup and the
food will makegood blood.
Schenck's Mandrake Pills act; upon the liver,
removing all obstructions. relax the uucts of the
i g s a so l

Pills can do; nothing has ever been Invented ex
cept calomel (a deadly po'son wcich Is very dan
gerous to use uness with great care,) that will
unlock the gall bladder and start the secretions
of Liv e r ver like Scheock'd Mandrake Pills.
Complaint is one of tie most prominent
causes , of Consumption.
Schenck 's Seaweed Ton alka l i ntte idicuulant
and alterative. and the i n the Seaweed,
, which this preparation ls blade ot, assists the
stomach to turow out the gastric juice to dissolve -
the rood with the Pulmonlc Syrup, and It is made
into go od b cod without fermentation or souring
In the stomach.
the great reason why physiclars do not cure
Consumption is. they try to do too much; they
give medicine to stop the cough, to stop chills,to
stop night sweats, hectic fever. and by so doing
tney derange the whole digestive powers. lock.-
Ing Up the secretons, and eventually the patient
sinks and dies.
Dr. Schenck nig h tis treatment, does not try to
stop a coughsweats, chills or fever. Re
move the cause; and tney will all stop of their
own accord. No one can be cured of.Consump
-tion, Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia. Catarrh,
Canker, Ulcerated Throat, unless tne liver and
stomach are made healthy.
Ir a person has consumption, of course the
lungs In .some way are diseased, eitner tubercles,
abcesses, bronchial irritation, pleura adhesion,
or the lungs are a mass of inflammation and fast
decaying. In such cases what mist be done? It
is not only the lungs that are wasting, but it -Is
the whole body. "the stomach and liver have lost
their power to make blood out of fo .d. Now the
only chance Is to take lirr Schenck's three medi
cines, which will bring up a tons to the stomach
the patient will begin to want food. It willdigest
easily and make good blood; then the riatlentrie.-
gins to gain in flesh. and as soon as the body be
gins ta-ferow, the lungs con mence to heal up,
and the patient gets th shy and well. This Is theonly way to cure Consumption.
When there is no long disease and only Ltviir
Complaint and Dyspepsia,- Schenclvir Seaweed
Tonic and Blandrake Pills are sufficient, 'without
the Pulmonlc Syrup. Take the Mandrake Pills
freely In LI billions complaints, as they are per
fectly harmless.
Dr. Schenck, who has enjoyed uninterrupted
health fur many years past, and now weighs 228
pounds. was wasted away to a mere skeleton, in
the very last stage of Pulmonary Consumptiolf,
hi. physicians having , pronounced his case hope
less and abandoned hpm CO his late. He was cured.
