Ewing, in West Philadelphia, has likewise taken fresh strides toward success. The church is made up chiefly of families given to the pastor as seals of his ministry. They have bad added to them of late, an eldership, and are now en gaged building a neat and commodious house of praise. The lot was bestowed to the church by Mrs. Sarah Miller, widow of the late Samuel Miller, tt.D., of Princeton. Thus the good work is progressing. God can prosper na if we but place our trust and confidence in him.

One'of the-group, dressed in a garb such as Methodist ministers wore thirty: or forty years ago, before' they ,adopted the fashions of the dayovery-politely, offered to put 'me on the right way, as be, was going to travels mile or two in that , direction. After. .thanking him for his kindness, on' we started, and•jn a few momenta the fol lowing dialogue was commenced : "Are yon not," said he, " a professor of religion ?" Yak sir." "Are ..you a " professor?" " TO. whit Church do you be long?" ""To 'the Presbyterian." "To What Church, ,do you belong ?" , To the Methodist ?" A, few years ago • the Pres byte4n Oka& was, divided into Old and New School ;.Ito which of the divisions do ..yota,ha j loog?"

" " Are:You a minister ?" "Yes, Sir."' '" Are you a minister ?'" 4 Yes; sir." .44 Well,''., said he, " there are many wiry talentiug, learned, and pious' ministers 'in your Old. School Church, but they all hold some very erroneous doctrines." " Thank you, sir ; will you be so kind as to mention some of them." " Well, one of the worst is in this language: (The number- of the elect is so, certain and definite that it cannot be either increased or diminished! Now, this is a pretty hard doctrine for any set of men profess. ing Christianity to believe." " Well, sir, that is your own doctrine, taught in, your own Creed, in stronger language, if possible, than it is taught in ours, and why do yoxt reject it 7" At the : utterance of this reply, if a man's countenance be any index to the thoughts of his heart, the language of the inner man was, you are , one of the most unprincipled, impertinent, reckless Calvin ists that I have ever found on this paltry globe. "Our Creed teaches no such Cal vinistic dogma, and neither you nor any other man • can prove that it so teaches." " Sir, if you will answer me a few very simple questions, you shall 'have the proof, and it shall' be sitisfactorY to yourself, and any other Man of common ilense."

Clarke presented and read 'the Annual Report of the Board of Trustees of Alex ander College, which was approved. Rev. James Ayres, Agent of the American Sun day School Unibn, being invited, addressed. the Synod in behalf of said Institution; wherenpon the following resolutions were adopted, viz.: I ' Resolved, That Synod has heard, with pleasure, brother Ayres on the subject of his - Ageney, 'and We hereby.recommend to all our brethren and churches, cordially to entertain the cause of Sab bath Schools, not only those under our own iMme diate supervision; but iilso as conducted upon the principles of said Union ; and that contributions to its Missionary Fund be made on the'firet Sab bath of February, or as near to that time 'as may be convenient. Resolved, That it affords us peculiar pleainre to have heard"that the entire loss incurred by the fraudulent transactions of ihe late'Secretiry, has been personally assumed by a few devoted'friends of the Institution:most of whim' itre :Managers, which is surely a display of glint Christian mag nanimity... .' After consideration, the following action :was taken, with but two three dissenting voices, via.: Ist. In the opinion of this Synod, an Evanget-. le and sound Commentary on the whole Word of God, in the sense of the Westminster Standards,: for general fairilly'use, ie a very great want of the Presbyterian Church'. ' • , 2d. In'Ou; judgment , such a noble work ought to be secured upon some such Plan as has been reftlit'ed by theist.); tonhe neat General - Assent. lily ;, tipon *me,' ,other plan , . ` which may com mend iteelf to the wisdom of the highest Court of our beloved Zion. From the C,6l,:ozn4tee on the Minutes of the Gen eial Assembly, -the. following resolutions were adopted : • , - -Resolved; That.werrecornmend that .the Presby: , l i teriee take up, and duly consider, Overture, as to the demission of the, Ministerial Office, prior to the next Assembly. Resolved, That an annual contribution be made in all otir churches, to the Assembly's fund for the relief of superannuated ministers, widows, and orphans. , . Resolved,' the work of Colportage, being that of one of the . Boards of the Church, is in. Waded in any complete form ` of Syetematio Be nevolence. We therefore reoomtnend that , Pres-, byteriee sprees upon their churches some such complete plan. Certitin Papers, in reference to the - Theological , Seminary of the North-West, from the Secretary of the Board of Directors, weii!**eltiid P33' the: Stated Clerk, upon which the follioiffig . action was taken Resolved, That'lle claim of the Finenehil'Agent, as'adjudged to this SYnod,' of $69; be allowed, assessed upon the churches, collect ed, and for warded to him as soon 649 practiosb . le. Whereas, Owing to the greet financial distress through an the North-West, for the past year, nothing has been-done toward advancing the in terests we were supposed to have in Chicago, and whieb, in so far as the land is concerned, is now considered as forfeited by delay ; therefore, Resolved, That this Synod recommend to the Board of Directore to subtnit,,to the Trustees - the entire dieposition of the'llyde Park interest. Synod appointed, for Directors in the Beerd for the ensuing, ear, Messrs. John Ekin. D. D., J. D. Mason, Charles Sinkaid, and W. P. Montgomery, Esq. , On the subject of the Associate Secretaryship in the Board of Missions, the following resolutions were, with much unaniMity, adopted : Resolved, That this Synod,` duly apprecialing the importance and past efficiency of the Board of Domestic Missions, deeply deplores the exist once of any cause of dissension among iti,mem hers; and especially ',the excited conteovertl which hes sprung up on the subject of the Asso ciate; Secretaryship, tending, as it may, to weaken the confidence of the churches in the Board. Resoi,ved, That this Synod still cherishes confi (lends in, the wisdom, and fidelity of the B,,ard, and trusi,,that in the practice of strict economy, they will, under the guidance of the Spirit of GUd, adopt snob measures as shall not controot, but greatly expand the 6ph.re of operation hith erto occupied; find that the next General Assem bly will' be able to dispose of the existing diffi culty in a manner satisfactory to all, and for the hest interests of the Church of Jesus Christ. Hon. Lincoln Clarke was appointed to deliver an address, at our next meeting, on the sulject of Ministerial Support, including that or provision for superannuated ministers, widows, dr,o• In view of the low state'of religion in most of our congregations, Synod Resolved, That the members of our Church be reoominended to humble themselves before God, in view of their many sins, and to pray earnestly and importunately that the Lord w o u ld onme and revive his work amouget us. Resolved, That pastors and eldeiis bei.equested to be diligent in the too much neglected duty of pastoral visitation. Revolved, Thaton the fourth Sabbath Inat., each minister shall preach on the great importance of a genuine revival of religion, and the Scriptural means of proriioting such a revival. • .A minute was adopted in relation to the de nein of the B.ev. J. B. Hadderi, fornierly of the SysiOd orlientucky, but for the last five years of this Synod, •and minister of the church of.Magno keta and Andrew. • ."Busineee wee closed on Saturday night, but Synod remained together over the Sabbath, wor• ',hipping with the church of Marion. 'The Mottling sermon was preached by the Mod orator, and the Sacrament of the Icird's Supper adminietered by Dr. Ekin and fathei Hudson; and in the afternoon, eerwon by Dr. 'Phelps, "in of,the Board of Foreign Missions; acid in the evening by Dr. Ekin. . . • Thee closed one of the happiest meetings' of Synod we have ever enjoyed ; and'it' sine ; eroly hotted that the good seed of the Gospel sown will quickly epsiog up, and bring fokh fruit abun dantly.
