The aggregate number of candidates this year is two
greater than lest year ; whilst the number of new candi
dates is eleven more than were received last year—an In.
crease that is encouraging chiefly from the fact that there
is no decrease.
The following is a general view of the,peouniary affairs of
the Board during the ecolestsetical year. The accounts
closed on the 18th of April, which is about two weeks
earlier than usual.
Chudidates' Fund—Receipts, $47,103.07; Balance,s2.37o.

492.06; total paymeuta, $43,980.35; total balance, exclusive
.of.the pormanent African Fund, $6,511.52.
From this statement, the Assembly will perceive that the
treasury of the Board has been in a highly prosperous con.
ditlon. In no year since the organization of the Board, has
so lie ge en amount been contributed by the churches to the
education of candidates for the ministry.
DAMS OP ANMIXTY TO TOO - NO MEN AND CANDIDATES.
Wm. 'Wilson
The Board have judged it expedient to present to the
Assembly, and to the churches, the consideration of some
of the causes of anxiety to young men, who think of en
tering upon the work of the ministry. As the present
time, In the providence of God, invites many young men
to turn, their attention to this subject, its candid and sober
discussion may result in good. The following are the topics
discussed, under this head in the Annual Report.
S. S. Spencer
I. The want of sufficient piety.
2. The went of sufficient evidences of a Diiine call to the
ork of the min - btu.
8. The want of pecuniary mean..
4. Advanced age, beyond the usual period.
.7. W. lillillgatt.
5. 11l health.
G. Defectiveness of early education.
7. A profession in life already selected, and entered upon.
B. The scanty salaries of ministere. •
9. The opposition of relatives and friends.
10. The want of natural ability.
11. Obsaure birth in a low condition of life. ,
12, The ministry is too vast a profession.
These various topics are dismissed with the purpose of
removing the objections and ausietiesof candid and enqui•
ring minds, Throughout the whole discussion, the Board
not only assume, but lay stress upon the following propel.
Lions: 1. The individual possesses, in other respects, the
qualifications re Lnirite for making a useful minister. 2.
The lloly,Spirit can alone give a call to the work. 3. The
standard of mental and moral requirement, prevalent in
the Presbyterian Church, Is not intended to he lowered by
the arguments end Incident@ herein stated, but on the con
trary, the ale demands higher qualifications than any pre.
ceding one.

and of all morers and seconders of resolutions. Ile moved
that the resolution be rescinded.
Mr. Erskine opposed the motion, on the gAnind
let. That the insertion of the names makes the record
more complete.
2d That the consciousness of a speaker that his name is
to appear, is calculated to make him feel his responsibility,
and to be more circumspect.
Oti. It looks badly for the Assemblies of different years to
appear unstable and inconsistent. He hoped that Dr. liege
would present better arguments in support of his motion.
Dr. Imikin corrected the statement as to the names re
ferred to: none baring been specilled in the resolutions
except those of the speakers. lie agreed with Mr. Erskine
that such a retard is calculated to save time by making the
members chary of their speeches, and careful cf what they
say,
Mr. Rankin was in rarer of the resolution as it now
stands, because it renders justice to all. For his own part.
he would be unwilling to have his poor speeches fathered by
the reverend D.D's.
Dr. goge had hoped tl at the motion to rescind would
hale been adopted without discussion. He was unable to
concelre any good purpose to be served by cumbering the
Minutes with names. Can members possibly be in earnest
deviring a record of every speech that has been made on
this little motion ? An adherence to the resolution making
invidnous distinctions between those who speak and those
who more wisely, perhaps, hold their peace.
The motion to rescind was then adopted.
A resolution was adopted granting leave to the Moberator
to call on other persona to preside daring the morning de
votional exercises.
The first order of the day, being the reception and com
mitment of Presbyteria/ Narratives on the State of Religion
and Statistical Reports was then taken up.
tr. Musgrave, Secretary of the Board of Domestic Mis
sions, gave the Assembly n brief summary of its action
during the past year, of which the following is an abstract:
Notwithstanding the extraordinary commercial and finan
cial revulsion which has overtaken the country, and pro
duced, for a time, almost a total suspension of business of
every kind, and bringing bankruptcy to thousands, the
Board. have been able to execute the work entrusted .to
them with extraordinary success. Indeed, ncr sooner had
the gloom began to disperse, than the contributions to its
treasury largely increased. In the month of February, the
receipts exceeded those of the-corresponding period of the
previous year by $O,OOO. . The Board have increased the
number of missionaries by twenty, making the number now
employed by them six hundred and ten: The appropria
tions for the past year, are slightly in advance of loose
made dining the one preceding it. The total receipts are
$105,277.52; the entire disbursements for the same period
are, $104,143 67. The receipts for thoßoardsre considerably
above the ecord of any previous year, and this increase is
not the result of individual bequests so much as °COI° con
tributions of the churohee. The excess of increase' in the
past year over any preceding onei is abovelB,ooo. An aver
age reduction of $3.00 has been made in the appropriation
to each missionary, in view of the embarrassments of busi
ness; but the churches in which they labored have increased
the amount which they contributed to the salary; so, that
the salaries received by those engaged in missionary labor
average $5OO eaih. •
The reports from the missionary churches indicate the
most extraordinary success. There is a sensible manifests•
Lion of the influence of the Holy Spirit in -a revival of the
Church and au awakening of the peop'e. Although the
fruits are not reported to' this•Misembly, ,it .can be cone•
dently stated that such an extensive interest on the subject
of religion h3s never been witnessed. •
Dr. McKinney, from the Committee on' the "I3.eport of
the Board," made a report and clered resolutions as fol
lows: '
REPORT OP THE BOARD OP DOMESTIC MISSIONS.
8
____ 3st
The Dommittee on the Report of the Board of Domestic
Missions, presents to the Assembly for consideration and
adoption, the following resolutions, via:
Resolved, That the deepest gratitude of this Assembly is
due to God for his g ioduese in that during year of great
financial embarrassment, he• has disposed and enabled
people to supply the wants of the Board, making the period.
to close happily with an increase of fonds and laborers.
Resolve#, That this Assembly. give. devout and hearty
thanks to God fur the outpouring of hie Spirit upon our
missionary churches, hicommon with the other portions of
his beloved Zion.
Resolved, That the Assembly rejoice in the increase of
contributing churches, and now cherish the hope that, by
due effort, all may ultimately be induced to do their part in
the work.
Resolved, That while .the Board have prudently made
their appropriations, still the want of funds is such, and the
demands so great and numerous, that there is a large
amount of work which can scarcely be attempted. The
Assembly regret that 'a large portion of funds shauld still
be absorbed by unproductive churches; some that remain
feeble from year to year are, it is well known, like Wes,
which send forth their annual swarms. But all are not
such. Presbytqriei should look into this and cease to re
commend, or should unite two or more churches in one
charge, thus husbanding both men and means for labor in
productive regions. The last resolution reteramitted.
Resolved, That in view of the happy working and bright
"prospects of the scheme of systematic benevolence, the As.
sembly suggest to the Board the propriety of considering
the question whether the services of the Associate Secretary
might not be dispensed with, aud.the amount of the salary
of the office saved.
Resolved, That the Assembly is pleased with the effort of
the Dowd to increase the number of itinerant laborers,
believing that the system may be extended to the great 'ad
vantage of sparsely settled districts. •.•
Resolved, That the failure on the part of nearly one-third
of the missionaries to send a special report for the use of
the Assembly is to' be deeply regretted, and that in the
cases where such failure is the result of negligence, the
missionary has shown himself unworthy, and should not be
re-appointed.
The firit, second and third resolutions were adoptedwith
out debate: - .
Rey. George , Hill moved to strike out the words "and
cease to recommend," and to unite the fourth and fifth reso
lutions in one. He spoke at some length•on the importance
and the duty of contributions to the necessities of Domestic
Minions Not only every member should give liberally, ac
cording to his ability t hut the clergy themselves, no matter
bow email their salaries, should spare something even from
their pittance, to this most holy cause, He applied .the
saying of Dr. Chalmers. the Presbyterian Church "has
never yet learned' the power of littlee." Even vacant
churches, to-whorn pastors are only occasionally sent, should
be called upon for their contributiona.
Dr: firecirinridge thought that the expression -contained
•hathe resaintion is liable to be construed into a rebuke- It
begins to be 'nodes:deed by the churchee.that contributions
are an important means of grace; and this Assembly has so
recently given distinct expression ,to that, idea, that it be
comes us to be exceedingly cautions to do nothing that
shall retard it He would, therefore; nove that the expres
slots in the reset talon liable to the criticism should be mod
ified in conformity with these suggestions.
A member begged to know whether the motion of Dr.
Breckharidge '
was quite in order, inasmuch as no "
person
bad seconded it. • •
Dr. Breckinridge rejoined by quoting the saying of an
other per on in a similar predicament with himself, " that
the Moderator ought always to second every resolution,
because it is presumable that whoever offers any resolution
has something to say, and hoe a right to be heard." He was
permitted to proceed in his .remarks. lie said a striking
characteristic of civilized countries is the tenderness and
care with which the poor, the aged, and the helpless rack
are treated; it is only among savages that they are furnished
with parched corn and a gourd of water, and left in'solitude
to die. We should. therefore, act Inconsistently with our
character, as a civilized people, to leave any of our churches
which are needy, to perish from neglect. It -is quite true,
however, that " the /ru
dest thing on earth to kill is a
Presbyterian Church?' He Spoke in glowing terms of a
church towhich he was once attached, for its distinelkilshed
influence in the exteneion of other churches, although
itself feeble, obscure and remote, and said he should " con
tinue to love and to cherish it,while a single old woman or
a single brick romained." The present is the fourth time
that the recommendation contained in the resolutions has
been brought up in the auntie/ meetings of the General
Assembly.
Dr.ffiusgrave said he had not had a sufficient opportunity
to examine the resolutions before they were reported. The
Assembly has over and over recommended Means for pre
serving and cherishing the feeble churches and it cannot,
therefore, be necessary, to explain that the intention of the
resolution could not be inimical to them. The particular
point aimed at is an important one. It is a fact that-many
churches are now receiving aid which do not absolutely
need it, end that we are consequently "unable to (inlet many
which are entitled to 'it Appropriations are asked.for by
Presbyteries because they were formerly made, and the vote
is actually given in their favor by members who individually
feel that it is wrong, but who, dislike to be forward in re•
trenchments which might siipear invidious. Many such
members have privately confessed their doubts es to the
propriety of such a course. The question for us now is,
what is to be donee Brethren write nefrom California, teem
lowa, from Bermes, from Nebraska, and from other -distant
regions that ‘' now is tbe time to establish a church in ditch
or such a place," and we are compelled to reply that we have
no funds...
This state of things is wrong, and 'should be remedied.
It is wrong, not only as relates to needy churches, but, also
to the churches which are not needy;- for it injures their'
Self respect, their standing, and their moral influence.
regions 'where the extraordinary increase of the value of
the lands has enriched churches as well as whole comniuni.
ties, it certainly is our duty to inquire into their actual con
dition. We have at last reached a point in the _history of
our Domestic Missions where - we must give more money, or
We must economize. Why, mere men of the world who
care nothing about personal religion, in remote regions like
some of those hamed, have seen the necessity of the - estab
lishment of the ordinances of the Gospel, and, of their own
accord. have given liberally to that object. If we neglect
such ground, there are numerous schismatics ready to oc
cupy it to our exclusion: Ido trust, therefore, for the sake
of the mum that you will not strike out this clause of the
resolution without giving some equivalent for it.
Dr. tireckinridge moved "an amendment which, shall give
xi distinct recommendation- to the Board to unite two or
more churches under one charge." Orly so lately as at the
meeting of the General Assembly at Buffeter—if his memory
*incorrect—has this Assembly come to the point of a dog
matic declaration on this subject ,. It is very possible that
many years may pass before the churches will come Op to
the mark in their contributions; but it is also true, that
while it has taken the Aesembly four years -to attain to a
dogmatic declaration, the church contribution s,Ss stated by
the Chairman of the Board, have steadily increased during
that same period, even in the face of enusuel obstacles.
'lre could hardly be persuaded that the venerable Chairman
of the Board bad consented to the recommending of the
resolutions, until they had been 'praised by the Assembly
' over his head. '
Dr. Musgrave spoke briefly in defence of the resolutions,
on the ground that the church increase has exceeded the
increase of contributions.
Dr. Breckenridge rejoined that there is a' threerfold duty
resting upon us, to nourish, to extend;' and to'susiain the
feeble churches, and we cannot innocently 'Alit either of
these dutiee. The clergy have all been More frequently
called on to support toe weak churches near them than
those which are remote. lie thought it unwise to go quite
so far as the record makes go. His strong belief was that
it may be necessary to look after the conduct of ministers,
as well as of churches- He had not had experience of snob
churches as, by the remarks of members, would seem to be
implied as • existing. Has it indeed become necessary to
peas resolutions to restrain the Board from conniving at
what they have reason to think is hot. correct 2 It is ex
tremely difficult to know the whole truth—to say whet
churches are'really able, and what are - not Prom his per
sonal experience he knew that churches disliked' to accept
of meistance, and would eerefer to decline it, if it wore pos
sible. it is true the country has been greatly prospered,
and churches may have shared in that prosperity; but it
would be difficult to determine whether any have accepted'
money which they did not want, and for himself; he knew
of none. lie had faith in the Brand, faith in the
,Syhods,
faith in the Presbyteries, and' faith in the °here-ties. The
'Board'must, from the necessities of the ease, judge, and he
was prepared to trust their judgment_
`Dr. McKinney said, there is not a single prinoiple In de
bate, about which we are not all perfectly agreed. 'None of
us wish to kill the Presbyterian Church, or to reuse to as.
sist those thit are needy. The principles enunciated four
years ago,,have always been systematically practiced. He
never yet heard of any design to stop these plans of sytteni
atic benevolence. Butlhose persons who have been familiar
with the facts, well know that appropriations of money have
often been made to churches which have not even been con
suited. He has received private letters requesting him as a
member of the Board of Missions, not to grant the appropri
atlon asked for, by a Presbytery. And he had known mem.
bars of Presbytery vote for appropriations, against their
sincere convictions, from mere dislike of being found in op
position to .measures which seemed, to be introduced and
passed as mattorif,of cows°. Now this state of things con
stitutes one of the groat difficulties of the subject of collec
tions for missions; for the congregations, seeing such wig.,
appropriations, feel reluctant to give. Ile hoped the resole-
Hone -would . be :passed without change; for they will
strengthen the hands of many who feel deeply on this sub.
jest.
The resolution does +not asp the Board'shall do thus and
thus, but. that they shall took into the matter. r
Dr.' Junkie said,- he'desired to be heart on this 'subject ;
but the two hours allotted to It in the resolution wbichroade
it the order of the day, having expired, be moved that the
time be extended for half an hour. On a suggestion of Dr.
Rankin, he withdrew the motion in favor of one to rearm.
mit the report and the resolutions. The motion to recom
mit war, adopted.
It was resolved that the first business in order, after re
cess, shall be the bearing of the Report of Rev. William
Young, a delegate from a Body entitled the " Asaociato Re
formed Synod of the South."
A mete was then taken.
At the resumption of the session, Rev. William Young
said, the history, the doctrines, and practices of the As
eociate Reformed Synod of the South, are famllar to all
preeent; and he expressed the fervent h-'pe that that body,
as well as this General Assembly, may ever repose in har
mony and in peace under the broad shadoW of the tree of
our common liberty. He gave a rapid sketch of the condi
tion of the Associate Refocused Synod, from which it ap
pearel that it now has eight Presbyteries, ten churches,
seventy ministers, a College in South Carolina which is
prosperous. and a Theological Seminary which is doing
something to prepare young men for the Christian ministry.
A number of the churches have recently received timee of
refreshing from the Lord. They have under. their care,
likewise. several colored churches, which are regarded as a
part of their body, and to whose peculiar necessities, their
doctrines have been carefully fitted. He said, "Our doe
trine, faith, and practices, are the acme as your own; and I
am ready, on behalf of the Body which I represent. to give,
to this General Assembly, the right-hand of fellowship.
Your unparalleled harmony, your labors in other lands,
your 1111811i0Ditt lee who have forsaken home and country to
visit inhospitable shores, risking privation, want, even death
itself, to bear the Lamp of Life to benighted heathen ; while
witnessing all these things our souls are knit to yours, like
those of David and Jonathan, and with all our hearts we
bid you, our beloved brethren, God speed I"
"I am not authorized to speak, officially, as to a close and
permanent union of our two bodies; but [ - take upon me to
say that such an event would till all our hearts With joy
unspeakable; and if the time has not yet arrived for such a
union as that referred to, yet we may be still perfectly unit
ed in heart and in.purpose to proclaim peace on earth and
good will to men, and to advance the kingdom of the Re
deemer. Re closed. by announcing that the next meeting
of the Associate Reformed Synod of the Borah will be held
at Abbeville, S. C., in October next."
Dr. Scott, the Moderator, said—Beloved brother, I am
happy to meet you, and to welcome you, in the name of the
General Assembly of he Presbyterian Ghurchin the United
. .
Your reference to what we have done is calculated to an
imate both yourselves and us to greater exertions. I refer
you to our late M oderator for the sentimentswhich animate
this body • from our hearts we mooed to the senti
ment you have expreMed, and reiterate your words. God

.The • Committee on Bills and Overtures reported seven
Overtures, and reer,mmended their adoption. They were
taken up 'in -realer Order, and severally adopted without
&foga.'
A resolution was adopted making the second order of the
day for 'Thursday next- the reports of the Committees on
Synodical Records. -
A portion' of thi Papers from the • Associate Reformed
Synod of the South, were then ordered to be read. '
Dr. Breckiuridge said, the Assembly has gone to the ut
most limit in striving for union with the Reformed SYned.
We have now:arrived at that point, where,' in order, to ac
complish any thing more, something new must he done. 'I
was .long a member of the Committee which had• charge of
this subject, and the conclusion which -we arrived at was,
that union is impossible, while the conditions exacteffof us. I
remain the same. In the first place, there is no , occasion
'
whatever for a new version of the Psalms, as required by
that body, and in Vie Second place, were such new version
determined upon, there is no man in the world to perform
the task. ' We cannot make a poet to order, nor a committee
of poets. If then the new version is the trine qua non, it is
unattainable.. But, sic. there is a great difference, an irre
concilable difference between them and us. Having so.
cured a satisfactory version, we are to be restricted to that;
we are to be forbidden Muse any other means in the exer
cise of Praise. Hating done everything in' our power for
;anion, lam hopeless of doing any thing more. :That, sir,
is a body by'itself, which has nothing to fear, as to its Do
tard, save from causes incidental to itself, such as schism
resulting from too rapid growth. We have reason to be on
our guard against dangers precisely similar. What're° want,
is to make our own Body more homogeneous. The ques-
tions which divide us now, are the same that divided our
fathers. I believe it is the providenCe ,of God which has
caused these negotiations to terminate .as they have.
He closed by onoving,that the report be spread upon the
minutes, and that the committee be discharged from the fur
ther consideration of this subject.
Dr. Hoge bad never been sanguine as to the successful
issue of these negotiations, nor even desirous that they
should succeed. We want, most of all, to be homogeneous;
and in a union such as contemplated, that is impossible.
We shall never agree on the matter of communion with
other churches. It is observable, that in'their letter to us,
which has just been read, they do not in any manner refer
to this which must Inevitablyprove a cause ofdisagreentent.
We cannot agree about the vers:on of the Psalms, and how
ever harmonious now, it would be an element of discord and
'future trouble. Were they to offer to unite with us, leav
ing' to us the option of using such version of the Psalms as
we might prefer, there might he some , hope of permanent
harmony; but under all the circumstances, he felt bound
to support the motion to discharge the committee.
Mr. Hoyt said he lived in the Abington district, and was
a member of the Committee originally intrusted with these
negotiations. He felt confident that the matter is entirely
misapprehended. He supposed that the, prevalent opinions
are derived from the =respondence just read, and that it is
the impression here that it presents a faithful view' of the
sentiments entertained by that body. =But But nothing could
be more erroneous. At the meeting fdw ministers were
present—no more than a bare quorum—most of. them
young men, only one old man in the Body; and in their
fear of 'yielding too much, they yielded nothing. A
bare majority adopted the correspondence which has been
presented here. It was not, in any proper sense, the 'work
of the great body of the Reformed Synod, and it does not
faithfully convey the sentiments of the members of the
churches in that , edionexion. They are ready and willing to
grant us all we ask, and even more than we have, asked. as
to our freedom in the use of the Psalmody, or any other
spiritual songs. He-devoutly hoped,. therefore, that the
reading of the correspondence will not be suspended until
• the last litter of that Body is disposed of.
Slr. _Eagleson.. =idea eingleremark in opposition to`what
he thought a tendency toward too rapid increase of Presby
terianism by affiliation: He offered a resolution to appoint
a special committee, ;ta'whom should be referred this mat
ter, with instructions to report resolutions expressive of the
sense of the General Assembly. .
Dr. --- opposed the discharge of the Committee, first,
bemuM the subject is one of serious' importance, and has
not been exhausted; secondly, because the paperspresented
are truly to be regarded as the work of a Committee rather
than of the Body itself. He had lived with these people in
habits of intimacy, and often _preached to them. He well
knew their feelings toward us. They and We have come
ovef together within the last six months, more than within
the, previous twenty years. Formerly they thought we had
among us noreligion, and we thought they bad none: But
we have learned to know each other better. These dimes
sloes have done ne all goad; and even the writings of Dr.
Hreckinridge have had their shim in the good work.
Dr. Hewitt said, their proposition comes to us to• make
changes, and to conform to them in Order that we may
thereby gain in numbers. A speedy 'remit would be the
change even ofour name; and hereafter, should any wish
to change our Etith and our work; this would be plead as a

Treatment of Consumption.
Letter No:10
If,•then, Consumption is curable, the question
arises, how may it be cured? Certainly not by
Medicinee and measures which weaken the pa.
tient, for the disease is increased' by debility—
manifestly not by inhaling medicated`
vapors' nto
the lungs, for inhalations cannot remove from the
blood its iinpurities, or tuberculous elements,
and hence cannot prevent the continued deposit
of tubercles;' in other words they cannot 'reach
the source of the disease. In order to cure Cen
sumption, it is, absolutely necessary to employ a
combination of remedial measures, for no single
remedy, or remedial measure can effect all the
changes which must and da take place in the nu.
relive process. Thus the inhaling tube and
-shoulder braces are needed to expand the lungs,
to increase:their respiratory surface, and thereby
increase the oxygen of the blood., and, the .geperal
strength; in effecting this, they also remove in
a great measure,- the inflammation and; conse
quent thickening of the walls of the air cells,
.which condition precedei the deposit of tubercle;
and since the tubercle is deposited from 'the im
pure blood, it is necessary to make use of deans
,ing asedioines, a pure diet, daily bathing, proper
exercise, and`every practicable measure for puri
fying the 'blood. These remedies and measures
all tend greatly to increase the strength But it
is also requisite, in many cases, to add to these
the use of suitable tonics and stimulants, to in
vigorate 4 the system, so that the ulcer in the hangs
may heal. To quiet the cough and increase or
diminish the expectoration, as may be needed,
proper cough medicines and inhalants must be
used i s to relieVe pain and further reduce the in
ternal irritation; soothing inhalations, external
anodynes and.mild connter.irritants, are of great
value. All the above requirements exist in ev
ery ease of true Conspmption, and while the
medicinal agents may be judiciously harmonized
and combined so that, the patient need take but
few medicines, it is absurd to suppose that any
single remedy , can supply the ,places of. both
these and hygeininmeasures. But in most, oases,
still other requirements -exist—there may be ex
hausting chills, night sweats, fever, etc., requir
ing suitable-specifics. There is, often, also, dys
pepsia, gastritis, costiveness, some. form of 'skin
disease, or female complaints, which must be
cured`or the lung 'difficulty cannot , be' removed.'
How is - it possible, then, for - either - Cod Liver Oil,
Cannabis Indica, Wild Cherry, lodine, or any
other single remedy, to fulfill so many- and such
varied demands
The lane is a condensed outline or our mode
of treatment, and should be considered with

thoughtful, polite and kind, he became naturally,
as it were, a part of the hearts that clung to him.
Besides, having so much the likeness of - his twin
