Maohlaster, D.D., Prdesior of Theology in this InstMitiop, - ail read : - To the ,ICev. the Board of Directors of the Pres. bytifiah q t hedlo:giceil Seminary of the North- West:l, • A heathen. magistrate , once, when sending an accused Party to the jndgment-seat of Ctesar to which-he had tippealed, made the very, sensible remark, that it seemedla him to be an unreason- able thing,to c eend a •,priaoner, and not . withal,to signify the crime laid against him. I• feel aSome what similar , embarrassment, in making to you 'this ednuntiniCatithi - , whieh, though not formally a defence, yet has in part. virtually, that charac ter ; when you have not arraigned rae. at your bar, nor found, against me' any, indictment; and when: no prosmintor has appeared , before. you to convict Me' of any 'offence. In these air:sum stanStie I;tuiyAnidef the necessity of myself in dforming,yon:if: the state of „the .case , on which'l address ' • It is kiMittn'te yon_that in - Anguat, 1856,1 and sixteen other gentlemen, most of them Directors of thellentimary them attNew'Albany, though not acting in any offidel - caPabity, sent in pamphlet form f e..eiroular addressed• to the ministers, ruling - elders and members of the churches under the care llteogynods of Cincinnati, Indiana; Northern :Ind's; Illinois; (Waage", Wisconsin, and lowa, pro. posing,the mnitne of-all these , Synods in -the three ' tion of the SeininarY;aild the adoptien of wlndever • meaeures:might beldeemed necessary and proper - for the establishment of an -institution ,worthy of the. North:West, ' competent to the service de manded; anffineet for the Master's use. In Sep tember 'an& October • following, 1.. and. two other brethren, in person hr.ought the' wiatter before these seventiyneds, and' preeented - to them the draught of a Constitution, which, after animated, harmonious' and' ' interesting discussions; was unanimously. adopted, by them all, with the en ception of a single , vote in. one of the .Synods. The Direethrs,appointed under thp Constitution in krovemfoli, 1856, elected me' one Of Abe, Pro feasters in the Seminary, and in Feb., 1857, I ac , °opted &e t :44014026a. This whole movement, and, in. partiCular the circular, by which, it was Initiated, and a few per sons, inditding ray,self,'Whe have beenliteignated as ".the prime movers,?rin.the affair, have been, through ja. period of ten months, ibegimoing from the 'rani When the' 'subject was yet pending in some' of the Synods, dowiLAill. the present, as sailed, from without these Synods, with accusa tions Mt whose Origin,' character, or motives I will Say net word, accusations, so far as they; have reference to me, ultimately rest on the giontnl Objection to my alleged-views of Slavery, and My alleged' design, silent with oilier •petsonly,-tci.. malw the, Seminary anwgencY for W factious aiyriiiilifsinatie 'agitation of that subject. , How far the representations which. have been induatrienelY spread'' abroad' throughout these Synods may have been their efo feat!, ittlinditeing apprebensionaandleare that I hold views of Slavery and its relitionsto the Sem . bury and the,Ohurek,, which, frommy.ctinnexion. with the Seminary, maybe ofeevii. tendency, it is impossible for 'Me to know l; without a fuller knowledge than I:possess of thn'extent _to which there may exist in those, on whom they are in tended to operate,' a morbid state of mind on this subject of Slaiery, predieposing them to give to each apprehensions and fears, a ready entertain ment. For the sake of the Seminary and the Church, I am willing to do whatever Han, not , only to satisfy reasonable inquiries, but to allay unreasonable apprehensions and fears, if such exist, andlo 'quiet the minds of those who are disturbed. I therefore•deem it proper for me, so faraffin - lar - relskalhe 13eminary . I am in volved 'in the matter, to make to you, and through you to all whom it concerns, a clear and explicit statement of my views on the subject: ,First. If, then, the question be asked of me, "What are the objects for which the Seminary has been established at Hyde Park ?" I, answer, the objects are declared:in the Constitution; in the circular 'of August, 1866, by which : the move= meat was Initiated . ; in all the discussions of the subject in the' Syrieds ; and in all which has been said and•done before.and since by the friends of the Seminary. And they are all comprehended in the training of young men for the ministry. _ Second. If the question• be asked, Was it not the design of thOlm who have been designated as " the prime movers" in the measure's which have i plresulted..in the, establishment of the Seminary at •,.• Ryde Park to nake it iti'diencyeligiallY , for the' on or discussion of Slavery ?" I anitwer . ,. • ' o l itr a ithink that the proper reply to this inquiry; htthe simple statement, that neither in the circa-- , ler of August, 1866,-which emanated:from theta: nor in' the Constitution* of . the-Seininary, which was drawn up and presented to, the Spoils by them, nor in the discussions of the Subject:in any. • o f . th e Spode by; them or by any one else, was the.sitbjectiot Slavery , so much as mentioned. • For myself I will say, that so far as mi.agen cy in the bUsiness concerned, precisely the same movement would hive been made; and pre cisely the- same .measures. in all respects would have been adopted; if no such 'thing as Slavery had ever existed in the country or in the world. The brethren who have been disturbed, have allowed themselves to be very unnecessarily put into a flutter on the.subjeot. Slavery may have been thought of along with many other things, but the story that the Seminary was designed to be an agency specially for the. agitation or dis cussion of slavery is so absurd, that those who told it must have counted largely on, the credulity of their hearers. Third. If the question be 'asked, " What are the relations which I think the Seminary ought to have to the subject of Slavery ?" I answer, I think it ought to have no relations to Slavery dif ferent from those which it heti to twenty, or forty; 4 , other acknowlefte,d'eyils of like-character and iffagnitnde "end t o 'Which the Mini:lll /and the lot s country of the North 7 West atand ' in a ,like rela tion as to Slavery. ' It certainly is -not , the bnsi ..;agiiip Theological 'SeMiruiry4''fii• orknoi2 e egenetes and institutemeasures for the removal of Slavery, or of any other particular form of evil, moral, or political, or ecclesiastical, or do mestic, existing in society ; but to teach young men how to expound and apply the Scriptures, and to fulfill ,the work of the Gospel ministry. Christianity, •Which it is the business _of the min istry to expound and preach, is a system of prac tical truth, intended for the remedy of all moral evils, and of all other evils which are the penal effects of moral evil ; and hence it has 'various relations, to; and bearings on all such evils ; and these I think that it is the business of the Pro fessors in a Theological School, in proper 'con nexions to indicate; whether in the . didactic exposition of theology,- theoretical and practical, .in'the exegesis of the Scriptures, or in recount iag history of Christianity and the Church. If any man be held to be Bo wanting , in discre tion that he cannot be trusted to do this accord ing, to the truth, certainly it is not fit that, he should be put into the place of an instructor in a Theological school. Fourth. If the question be asked, What are my views 'of slavery ; of the' qinition, 'whether Christianity sanctions Slavery ; and of the duty of Christians in relation to Slavery 7" I answer these,questions 1. To the question, " What are my. 'views. of slavery 7" I give this • answer : .1. - wish to-define what I understand to be meant by the term Sla very; in distinction from a system of mere volun tary servitude, which is either right or wrong; ac cording to the circumstances' of each case, Slavery then, I understand to bemeant that eye ' tem which, according to the doctrine of the most eminent among the Greek writers on Moral, and Political Philosophy, current throughout the civ ' ilized.worldan the deys , of Christ and- his-apos tles, held that the relation :between master and slave, is ,like that between the artizan and his • tools, and 'that stave„is "an aniMatedlool," or "-a tool without . a sou&in it." See, Arisiotle Eth.' Nieentach, L. LX ,C. 13. By slave,* I understand' to he meant that .syStein wbiCh obtained. in the Roman Empire, in the days 'of-Christ and, his apostles; according to which " &sires were held pro minis; pro mortals; pro guadrupedibus ;" that . is aa not persons; as dead in law ; or without civil righti; , as &Asti beasts.' By slavery I understand to be meant that system which obtains in our own times, - : and in some of the States of our own country under which, as it is expressed . in the. Laws of South Carolina, " Slaves shall be deemed, held, taken,'reputed, and adjudged in law; to be chattels personal in the hands - of their owners and possessors, and their executors, administra tors and assigns, to allintents , ,i mirposes and con stritetiOns And now, if the qUestion be asked, fd What are my views of slavery 7" I answer, I think the sys tem of siavery which has now been defined, to be intrinsically, essentially, and necessarily immoral. Or, iu the Words of the Presbyterian Church itself, ,in its action of 1818, " We consider the voluntary enslaving of one portion of ,the human family; by another, as a gross violation of the most precious and sacred rights of human nature - as utterly inconsistent with • the -law of God, which' requires us to love our neighbor as our selves; and, as totally irreconcilable with the spirit and principles of the Gospel of. Christ, which, enjoin that all things whatsoever ye would that others should do to you, • do ye even the same to them." , 2.•1f the question be asked,.-" De I think that Christianity sanctions Slavery ?" I answer again, in, thewo is `of the , Church, that I think that slavery '! s totally irreconcilable with the spirit and principles of the Gospel of Christ." 4. If the question be asked, 'What:do I think is, the duty of Christians in relation to Slavery?" I answer yet again in the words of the Church, `that "it is manifestly the dutyof ail Christians who enjoy the light of the present day, when the inconsistency, of Slavery, both with the dictates of humanity and religion, has been demonstrated and is generally seen and :acknowledged; to use their honest, eamest, and .unwearied endeavors to correct the errors of former times, and -as speedily as possible to efface' this blot en our.holy religion, and to obtain the complete abolition of Slavery throughout Christendom, and if possible, throughout the world." At the Same, I frilly agree with the exhortation of the Assembly, to 'these eitenipt .from this great evil " teforbear harsh censures and uncharitable reflection 'on their-brethren, who unhappily live among slaves whom they cannot imtnediately set free; but who are really using all their influence and all their 'endeavors to bring them into a state of freedom, as soon as' a door for it can be opened." . And, moreover, .I would use stronger tennis than any General Assembly has ever used, to .express my scram of the manifold, complice.ted, and embarr assing difficulties which encompass the practical question of emancipation and the proper disposal of, the slave population ; and of the wisdom, *and prudence, and patience, required in dealing with the whole subject. Nth.. If the question be asked, "Do I think that the holding of slaves is in all:cases an immor ality, the renunciation of which, ought to be made a condition of membership in the Church ?" I an swer that I think there are many cases where men stand in view of the law and its ministers in the legal relation of slavelaolders which for various - reasons they are unable rightfully to terminate ; andlliai in 'subh cotes, while they cannot without immorality'deem, hold, repute and adjudge their servants to be chattels in the handw of their own . ers, to, all intents, purposes and -constructions Whatsoever; it is, not only their right, but their tatty to hold them so long as the necessity exists, as their bond-servants, and if need be, their in voluntary bond-servants. Of course, in any such _case ite,is only „that which is an immorality the renunciation of which ought , to be made condition -of membership in the Church. Sixth. If the question 'be asked; "Do I ap prove of the positional the Presbyterian Church on the Subject- of Slavery ?" answer, that I approve of the position of the Church on the sub ject, of Slavery, as this is determined by a full and:tair'collation and interpretation of all her public authoritative acts in relation to it; upon the 'acknowledged princiPle of , interpretation, 'that what is obscure, ambiguous, ,doubtful, or Otherwise exceptionable, is to;be'; nterpreted by ;what is' clear, unambignouti, certain and unex eeptionable. ' Seventh. If the question be asked, "Do I think 11 my duty, either in my professional or. my non. •irefeeeional.'4 relatiOris, th • disonsst the subject of Slavery ?" I give' the folldwing answer . : L I do not.think.that I.have, any special voca tion to discuss the subject of Slavery' more than other eVils ; and that it is less my duty to discuss it than evils existing among ourselves, and to which we have a nearer and more immediate re 2. I think that all.mYhahits of mind and of life indispose me to exaggerate any one evil ; or to give to any ene_subject, believer :important, an undue prominence ; or to take in relation to it extreme views. As to this great evil of Slavery, "I May appeal to my past bourse irrirelation to it. have now been twenty-five years 444 ministry., .In all tha l t time; all that I have evert printed ors the-' subject of Slavery, amounts to` less than:', tweittfY.ffve yearsto less , thansev-, en pages ; and much-of that occupied in guarding against extreme views. L have never .belonged to any Abolition or-Anti-Slavery Society, but., have'always on.fat occasions publicly'and private ly expressed my dieapproval 'of much in the' ' 1 ,measures and spirit of those to whom the name 2ef "Abolitionists," , has been improperly appro priated. I have neverpreachecl a sermon on the subject. I have never treated of the subject; except occasionally as an incidental „reference in my instructions in the Seminary. I have never introduced the, subject into any of the Church " Jndicatories. I have never - Participated in any discussion of the subject in the Judicatories when introduced by others, except once in 1845' in the Synod, of Cincinnati, and then in support ofepaper intended to harmonize the conflicting 'views in that body, by distinguishing between ,the Slavery,whiehis to, be, condemned and mere involuntaryservitude, which is right orivrong ac. ,cerditig, to circumstances.' Such. has been my 'Pait'course in.reference to the aubject. Ido not mention 4t here in order to claim commendation forit; for I think it doubtful whether it is worthy of coirmihndatiori • but Simply' as what iphistori ,cally, the truth. , 3. I think that it is my duty to maintain for Myself, freedom of opinion and of speech an all questions of public morals, inclusive of that of the moral character of Slavery ; and that of the place, and time, and measure, • and manner in which I ihall dismiss such questions I must my-, self be the judge, under very Proper responsibil itieslo God, and to my fellow:men in the rela tions which I , sustain to them for any abuse of ' my right. These, gentlemen, are my views of Slavery, and of all: the various questions in, relation to it, on which I have supposed that an expression of my views might be desired; , They are the views of Slavery which .I have always held, ever since I have been in the ministry, and for years before, and which I have uniformly expressed whenever I have said anything on the subject aud.the yeti otis questions in relation to it.. Perhaps the mis ,-. representations of,mY views on the !Fabjeat have : producedx very little effect' . atipiliere ,• and this ooxamnsiestion.utarbe wholly &work ,. of supei erogation ; bat as the Synods unitedlisithe dine- ,1 THE PRF,SI3YTERIAN tion of the Seminary are, under the Constitution, the bodies which have the supreme control of its affairs, I desire that a copy of this letter be sent to each of them I am, reverend and dear brethren, your fellow servant in the Gospel, E.

The Report of the Executive Financial Com mittee was called up for consideration, and after being read was, on the motion of Rev. Dr. Stan ton, approved, and is as follows, viz. : Report of the Executive Committee of the Presbyte rian Theological Seminary of the North-West, to the Board of Directors, at their meeting in Chicago, - September Ist, 1867. • • The Executive Committee meet the Board with groitucia . to God, for his preserving care, and for many indications of his favor during the year. We haiee - had! much, daring the year of our. Exeoutive duties, to encouvage-much which has caused deep solicitude, and in all have been made to feel step by step, that which in the begin ning of our labors we expressed, that " except the Lord built the house, they labor in vain who build it." We are pained to make official announcement to the Board of a fact, long since known to each mem ber in his individual capacity, that the Directors of the Board in regard to a system of Synodical agencies for the Institution, has most signally failed. When we approached those brethren who had been recommended by the Board for this work, with proposals which looked to an exclu sive occupation of their time, as to render it probable that social and pastoral relations of long continuance were to be snndered, the de voted pastors shrank back, hesitated, and, finally decided, as we believe, in every instance, that it was duty, first and before all, to 4, feed the flock over which - God, had made them overseers." This was no isolated issue of our extended efforts to arrange a Synodical Collective Agency. The difficulty wasinsuperable—the plan devised, by the Board, was a failure. Alive to the importance of this vital part of our duties, your Committee was, early after, again convened at Chicago, to , I seek Divine direction, and for mutual. counsel, and prompt action. With a spontaneous and hearty unanimity, our choice (after deciding upon the necessity `for 'a General Agency,) fell upon Rev. J. M. Stevenson, D. D. ' a brother whose heart was full of love and zeal' our great , en terprise ; and we separated in confident expecta tion that his cervices would be secured, and the work of collection be immediately, commenced. Again we were to be metwith disappointment. While Dr. Stevenson was setting his house in order, and as we have reason to believe, was on the point of signifying his acceptance of , our ap pointment, his- Master and ours, called him in a voice he could not disregard, to. go to the whitened harvest in another field. We bowed with sub- mission to the necessity'whichwas upon us, but with deep regret, that such had been the issue of all.our efforts. Soon after our adjournment in June, we were enabled to secure the services of Rev. Joseph. Warren, D. D, of the synod of Indiana, who re- Oita to the Colornittee tO-day, that he com menced labor for the Seminary on the .first of August, having been - unable to arrange his pri vate affairs, and to be. absent from his congrega tion sooner. hist vieited:Weiv Albany; to learn ebtnething of the state of the property of the Seminary there, and then spent some days at Madison, and procured indefinite pledges of aid. ,Re then ar ranged to visit Cincinnati, and Hamilton and , -vi cinity, in connexion with Dr. Thomas. At this juncture, the report began to prevail, that movements were on foot, -which might change the controlling power of the Seminary, and almost all held back,' lest these movements should result in changes eo great that they shoUld cease to . feel any interest in it. All applications for funds were uniformly treated as premature. The best advice which the agent could get, led him to the conclusion thatfit was u'sele'ss to spend money in the then present state'Of things. The .general opinion of friends seemed to be, that until'the present meet ing of the Directorsof the Seminarrshould ad vise some means to set the public mind at rest, or, in other words, while questions that seriously concern the character and management of -the Seminary shall continue to be mooted, no contri butions can be secured. The, agent, therefore, returned to his congregation, discharged the young man whom he had engaged to 'supply his place,- and suspended operations till 'after this meeting of the Directors. He now intimates-his willingness to' go on with the agency, if= .it be thought de,sirable. The informal appointment of Dr. Warren was confirmed. SEMINARY GROUNDS AND. ENDOWMENT YIINDS. It was not, until early in the Summer ' and after the most patientand, pretreated efforts on behalf of the_sub-Committee, to whom this , matter WaS intrusted, that a warrantee ,deed eras obtained from the Trustees of the Hyde Park Association, for the four blocks:donated by, them. Their Ulti mate liberality manifested.in this noble grant, un conditioned; in a legal point of view, demanded, on the, part of the Committee, a verbal assurance that, the. work upon, the, foundation of the, main building shOuld be commenced early in Ally, and the foundation be completed during the present building season. The President of the Illinois Central Railroad . Company, with the written consent of the Board of Directors. has executed a bond (marked. BO for, a deed of blocks numbered 49, 50 51 and 52 on the accompanyine map, with the sole condition that the sum ,of $40,000 be expended upon the Semiaary buildings prior to the first of January, 1859. ; , The Committee offer no opinion upon the present or prospective yalue. of, these :lands. They are, the admiration of all who see thcM. Unsurpassed for healthfulness of position and beauty of locality, we hazard oothing when we say, that a more desirable spot in all regards which render locality eligible for the great Presbyterian enterprise of the age could hardly be found. 0/TARTER 01 THE INSTITUTION. The Committee obtained the services of a spe eial'agent at Springfield; at the Sessions of the Legislature last Winter, and a charter was ob tained,,of,whiolt printed : copies for,the.use of the Board accompany this report. 3NDOWMBET OF .FROFESSORSHIP. Early in the year's gentleman, whose liberality is only equalled by his modesty in all he has done for our Institution, who is a large• holder 'of pioperty at Hyde Park and vicinity, was induced by your CoMmittee to entertain (in connexion with two other gentlemen,) a plan for' the en dowment in perpetuity of a full Professorship in 'the Institution. This plan, and its issues, are fully explained in a note to the Trustees, and Which, with the bonds, acoompany , this report, Marked C. It will be perceived from' these pa pers, that the value of this source - of income in perpetuity, depends upon the success of an insti tution at Hyde Park, and the value of property consequent thereupon, and is another and most earnest reason why, with the utmost promptness and liberality, our whole Church should engage 'in this work. Your Committee feel, and as freely express the sentiment, that it would be most disgraceful to ns now not to provide, with en larged liberality, to meet all the expectations we have awakened. PLANS' FOR : SSININARY BUILDINGS. Aecoinpanying this Report, your Committee present for your consideration and approval, plans for Seminary Buildings. Upon this most impor tant subject, your Committee have spent much time and pains. We have come, to no hasty con clusion. We confess that when first presented, calling for the ultimate expenditure of sollarge a sum as that involved in the plane before you, we 'tit", as perhaps the Board , will; from enter , enterprise 'serious. But When we to realise fol.. what, and' for whom we were placed in this Un soughtpoSition of respon sibility; Wien we reinembered 'that we were now aliOnt to lay ' the fotihdittions for all time, of a Theologiptl Seminary not merely for a city popu lition Of oiiiihnndred thousand, but, in the time of our children of half a million, if not of ten hundred thousand souls; when the thought took hold upon 'us that' here, where at the beginning of this century of grace the white man had no Mine in the'whole , great North-West which he could call his own, and that before its close not so few as twenty millions would inhabit it, and that it, was for, these teeming millions we were honored in founding an Institution for educating young men to preach the Gospel; and when we remembered and reviewed the liberal spirit with which we had been . met by the donors of our grounds ,at Hyde Park., and that they. had been' thus liberal in the expectation that we would erect such buildings es would add to the value of their remaining property, and further enter tained the belief that the property donated to us, .(over and above the nine acres to be forever re served for Seminary purposes,) would go far to pay for all our building, when sold—we felt con strained that you should fully sustain us in de vising most liberally. We have so devised, and are confident that in so doing we shall be ultimate ly and liberally sustained, not only by the Board, but by the Synods, and a liberal Church. The Board resumed the consideration of the ways and means for the present wants of the Seminary. The follo - wing resolution, offered by C. A. Spring; was adopted, viz. Resolved, That Rev. Dr. Smith be invited to spend such time temporarily, as he may be able to, without infringing' upon his other duties, in efforts to raise funds for this Seminary, under the direction of the. Executive Committee, and the Executive Committee aro hereby authorized to:employhim, and pay him for his services as they may mutually agree. The following resolution, offered by Rev. R. L. Stanton, D. D. was passed, viz. : Resolved, . That a copy of the journal of this meeting of the Board; be furnished to some one of the editors in this city, requesting its publica tion ; . and when thui published, the Secretary be directed,to forgard..it• to the- Presby teriaw of the West, the St. Louis Presbyterian, and the Presby terian Herald, the Presbyterian Banner and Advo cate, and the Presbyterian, and request the editors of these papers respectively, to insert it in their papers. The Committee who were charged with the duty of preparing .the Annual Report, were in structed to print the same in pamphlet form, and distribute, as soon as possible, and especially to send copies to the Stated Clerks of the governing Synods, and to draw on the Treasurer for the cost thereof. After which the Board adjourned to meet again, on the 17th of November neat, in the North Presbyterian church, in Chicago, at eight o'clock, M. Closed with singing, prayer, and the benedic tion.
