Mr Craig, n few years ago, married a daugh

of Mr. McKibben (a deaf and dumb girl) was

PUESBYTERIAN GEN. ASSEMBLIES
THE NEW SCHOOL ASSEMILY.-At the New
School Presbyterian General Assembly, in ses
sion at St. Louis, the committee, after having
examined the narratives of the presbyteries,
have made an interesting report on the state
of the church. From it we learn that, of the
107 presbyteries on the roll, 69 have sent up
their annual narratives, which, on the whole,
present a very gratifying picture, though show
ing many wants requiring to be attended to.
Among these is the necessity for church edi
fices. Twenty-one presbyteries report thirty
three church edifices completed during the
year, or as now being completed, while a great
number of congregations are waiting for aid
from the church erection fund. Ministers are
sadly needed west, south and north. One
presbytery reports many of its churches with
out preachers, another has but nine ministers
for twenty•four Uotieegations, and another
but six ministers to seventeen congregations.
Arrangements have been made wh'oh will pro
bably result in an early completion of the
$lOO,OOO fund for building churches. Of this
sum about $82,000 has been paid or sub
scribed, and more than half of the remaining
$lB,OOO was pledged in the Assembly. There
is but little doubt that the full fund will be
paid in before the ,first of January, 18'5.6. It
is to be used in :titling poor churches to build
houses Of worship. The trustees of the fund
proposed an assessment of the Synods to sup
illy the deficiency, in which plan the Synod of
Pennsylvania was set down for $llOO, and the
Synod of ‘Vestern Pennsylvania for $500.
The subject of slavery engrossed much of the
time of the Assembly, and finally, after much
discussion, a report was adopted reaffirming
the declarations of previous General Assem
blies as to the sinfulness of slavery; exhorting
northern men to discuss it more temperately,
and southern Christians to do nil they can to
secure its speedy removal ; also providing for
j the appointment of n committee to report to
the next General Assembly what are the con
' stitutional powers of this body in regard to it.
Action was also taken with a view to the pur
chase and transfer of the copyright of the
Book of the Psalms and Hymns to the Trus
tees of the Presbyterian House, in trust for
the General Assembly, so that nll successive
editions of the book shall be issued by the
Presbyterian Publication Committee. ,The
subject of educatioti for the ministry was re
commended to the special care of the synods,
presbyteries and churches, exhorting them to
use all diligence In searching out suitable
candidates fur the ministry, and to increased
faithfulness in training them, and that all
churches take annual collections for this ob
ject. The charter of the Presbyterian House
granted by the Legislature of Pennsylvania,
was accepted, and the old trustees continued.
MONDAY, Juno 4
terian contains copious reports of the proceed
ing of this body at Nashville. The report of
the Board of Domestic Missions gives a history
of the last General Assembly as to church cx-
tension. . They had failed to secure•a Secre
tary for that department, and various plans
had been proposed in the Board as better
adapted to the object in view than that ad ipted
by the lest AsSembly. The report expresses
the _opinion that without employing agents,
And some measures for securing stated and
separate annual collections, it will be impossi
ble to provide the means required. Nu less
than 696 churches were reported to the last
General Assembly as being destitute of minis
tors, so that the scanty supply of ministers is •
the great difficulty. It has been suggested
that an augmentation of salaries would lie
effective, but to do this to the amount of $2OO
to each missionary, would require an addition
of $50,000 to the annual receipts of the hoard.
Last year, the average salaries of missionaries
was increased $10,67, the average appropri
ation for each being•sl6'2, and the average
amount received by each from his congrega•
Lion, being $273, making the total average
$lll5. At such salaries it is not wonderful
that ministers are scarce. This matter of
church extension attracted a great deal of the
time and attention of the Assembly, and finally
it was resolved to appoint a committee on
church extension, to be located nt St Louis,
and to consist of twenty-four members; one
third of whom are to go out annually. The
main topic discussed was, whether it was not
better to have a regularly constituted Beard
than a committee. In the matter of church
extension, the receipts had been $5,216 48,
and the expenditures $7,405 55 Resolutions
were reported by the Board of Educaticn, and
adopted, recommending that the presbyteries
exercise great care in regard to the qualifica
tions of candidates for the ministry, in favor
of the establishment of Christian schools,
academies, nod colleges, but recommending
Presbyterians to support the public -non
religious schools. improve their condition, and
keep the Bible in them. The last Thursday
of February next is appointed as a day of
special prayer for Presbyterian youth.
