'ur Master: ,
Resolved, That we will do every thing in
our power to bring into useful exercise all
the• seat and talent of the professed disciples
of Christ. To thitsend we will endeavor ,to
have established, in all. our churches, - a
eekly . male prayer-meeting; to, urge at
tendance upon all male members; and that
those meetings be so conducted as : to :re
dound to the praise and glory of ',God's
name,,as well as the proper training and - ac.
oustoming .of every male member of the
Church to active leading duties.
, Resolved, That the Sessions of our, direr
'gent churches make it - a point as much as it
is possible, to give to every male member of
he Church some special work to do, either
ai an officer of the .oburch or Sabbath
School, or in some.other of the many ways
which God in his providence opens for
Christ:an labor,. and thus have us all co
workers in the Church .of Christ, and con
stantly have every man on duty. ' . '
Resolved,. That our thurches should feel
.- gg ore and more the' responsibility resting
.upon them to labor in an especial wanner for
the salvation of tho children of the Church,
and to this end - religious instruction. in the
Bible and Catechism should be rigidly en
forced in the family, the Sabbath School and

—the young mind warned of the sinfulness

'bur, who alone can remove the sinfulness,
and grant them a clean heart; and, admit.:
"shed to attend to their duties in early life; and
all this to be done in such way as not to of
fend, but with manifest kindness win their
love and confidence. ,
Resolved, That the recommendation, of
~the Elders and Laymen in Synod list year,
n regard,to Systematic Visitation, be again'
mut:mended by us.* Beery family in the
hureb should be visited at least four times
. in the year, and it is the duty of every

The foregoing paper was adapted by the
Synod of Ohio, in session at Delaware, Oct.
28, 1858. FREDpRICK T. Bnowri,
Moderator.
This . Synod held its sessions in Logansport,
Ind., on Thursday, October 21st, 1858; aintritis
opened with a sermon by Rev. A. C. McClelland,
the het, Aloderator; from 1. Cor. i : 22, 23.
Twenty-nine ministers and twenty-seven Ruling
Elders were present,,besides quite a number of
corresponding members from a distanoe. A large
proportion of these were present on' Wednesday
evening, and throughout the day on Thursday,
engaged in special and earnest prayer to God;
and the °consign was felt by all to be one of ,nn
usual interest and prefit. , Its immediate influence
was to infuse a delightful and solemn devotional
spirit into all our ecclesiastical proceedings,, dur
ing the whole meeting 'of Synod.
! Rev. -A: Y. Moore was chosen •Moderator,: and
Revs John M. Lowrie and O. A. Munn Temporary
Clerks.
The whole of Friday was spent in a free con
versation on the state of religion, interspersed
With devotional exercises, and some cheering re•
ports of special blessingempon the churches were
Riven, whilst ethers lamented the.low state of
piety in their churches, and asked an interest in
the,prayers of theirimethren.
The action of Synod. with 'reference to tho
North-Western Theological Seminary, Mitres'.
tionded' exactly with that of the Synods of CM.,
oinnati and Indiana,' transferring the, control of
the Beininary to the General Assembly.
Revs J., C. Brown, J. 13. Crowe, and E. W.
Wright, 'with Misers. Jesse L. Williams and J.
M. Bay,;were elected Directors of the Seminary.
An aSsessment of seven cents per member, was
laid *pen the churches, to Tay the traveling ex
peases of our Directors. end the Trustees of our
College; alsoto meet the claim of Rev. , Dr. War
men, as Agent_ of.•the Seminary. The Presbyter
ies were instructed to collect this amount, and
.fay it over at the next meeting of Synod. •
The following was the action of Synod with re
gaid-to Hanover "College:
het we record Our gratitude to God for his
continued blessing upon our College,. kid our cor
dial sympathy withthe Professors, who have been
doing
• our work with so much seltdenial, and at
so great' a sacrifice.
2.. That the:urgency of the *ants of the Insti
tntion, calls for the prompt and energetic aid of
all who would not willingly see ite doors closed
against the sons ortheiThureh who seek a' godly
ou:cation ; as from the schedule. of the assets and
liabilities, of the College, the aim of $25,b00
have to be :raised to save the College building
from the Sheriff's hammer, and , our Professors
from actual, suffering.
• 8. "That the emcees of the Agent, Rev.
Blythe, during the last few months, encourages,
us to j hope that before the end ofnext March, the'
immediate pressure , upon, the Institution
relieved, and Synod commends him and'he animist
he pleads, to the sympathy art effectual aid of
all our chinches.
4. That Synod commends to the favor of the
Trnstees, the long `and faithful services of the
Rev. Dr. Crovre, antlreoommend that provision ,be
nietta foi;'• paying 'lfni the sum of four hundred
dollars .per annum. ' • r
5. Synod sanctions the, application for $5OO-to
the Board otEduhathiri.. toairbin paying the sal
aries of the Professore for - the year closing at the
last‘Commenoement. • '
Rev.' Thomas -•Molntyre was elected , Trustee,
in place of Rev. I. IT, Shannon,. deceased, 'for one
year, and.• Revs. T.„M...Cnnningham, and C. K.
Thompson, for the term.of four years.. -
The following action was bad wit reference
to the death of Rev. Robert MoCullough, , a mem
ber of Synod:
Wmaanas ' In the providence of God we, have,
since our last meeting, been called to mourn, the
removal, by death, of Rev. Robert 'McCullough;
therefore,
Resolved, That in this removal of our beloved
brother from the scene of his earthly labors, we
recognize the voice of, God saying to us, Be ye
also ready," • and calling for us to' labor more
earnestly for, the salvation of perishing sinners.'
Resolved, That while we recognize in-this event
the lass of an earnest minister of Jesus Christ,
and an, eminently consistent Christian, ,yet we
mourn for him as a dear friend gone before us, to
the enjoyment, of that rest which remains for the
people of 'God, into which, by the grace and
mercy of our God, we hope soon.to enter.
The discussion of the two following resolutions,
just at the close of our sessions, elicited many
expressions of deep and intense feeling, and pro
duced a melting 'impression upon the whole
Synod ; every one seemed to feel, it is good to be
here; there was a precious lingering upon the
hallowed spot, where Jesus was felt to be present
by-his gracious Spirit, and 'a manifest reluctance
to part from each other, perhaps never •to meet
again. •
.Resolved, That •in gratitude to the Great Head
of the Church for his goodness to us, as ministers
and, elders, in preserving out lives, and permit
ting us to labor in his vineyard daring the past
year, we mutually pledge ourselves, each to the
other, to labor more assiduously for the coming
year, in our respective fields, for the extension of
our Redeemer's kingdom, and enter into renewed
covenant with God to endeavor to promote his
glory, by praying andlatoring for the salvation
of men.
Resolied, that in view of the great mercies of
the past year, this Synod render thanks to Al
mighty God for his abundant blessings; and, in
view of the necessity of
,humility and faith, and
,prayer for the future, vre would appoint, Thrirs
day, the 16th of DeceMber. as a day of speCial
supplication that the Spirit of God may be more
largely poured out upon 'our churches.
After the usual vote of thanks to the citizens of
Logansport for their .generous hospitality, Synod
adjourned to meet' in ' the First Presbyterian
church of Fort Wayne, on the Third Thursday of
October next
. .
NARRATIVE OP THE STATe OP RELIGION 'WITHIN:
THE BOUNDS OP THE SYNOD SOP. NORTHERN
DIANA.
The Committee on the Narrative, would reptirt:
First> That the contributions to the benevo
lent objects of the Church, have been larger this
year_than last,.owing, in part, to the adoption, by
some of the churches, of "the systematic plan for
raising- funds for benelident objects;" = this is.
especially encouraging, in view of the financial'
embarrassments of this country, showing clearly,
thatwhile God in his providence is opening new
fields of missionary labor, his people are ready to
furnish the necessary peouniary
Second. The Sabbath Schools within our bounds
appear to be in a prosperous condition.;;.in many
of them Bible ;Classes are kept up; and a deep in
terest talcdn'in the study, of God's Word. The
evidences of the Divine blessing upon this nursery
of the Church,. demand our most profound grid:
tude and thanksgiiing,
Third, During the paet year, the Ucly Spirit,
in his Moving influences, has beep, in a very re-:
- marlzable degree, poured out all over th'e land ;,,
and we are gratifiedto state that, in those 'gra-.
eons visitations, many of our churches have been
largely blessed; and additions have been made of
many to the Church, of suck as shall be saved.
While; in the main, our churches have been Was
reviVed,,,` there are a few , which have not, in any
special manner, been visited by these special in
gueeeedi yet, even In these, there appears to be
a deeper 'sense of the obligation to sustain the
preaching and ordinances of the Gospel, and we
are not without hope that there is yet a blessing
in store for them.
Nearly all the reports show that there has been
more than the usual attendange on the.,publio
means of grace ; but;notwithetanding these man.;
ifestations for good, we have to report' the great
increase, in many parts'of our bounds, of intem
perance, infidelity; mid' vice, which calls' upon
every Christian to set a standard against them.
In conclusion, the state of religion within our
bounds is evidently more prosperous than it was
a year ago, and we are eneouraged to perseve..e
in prayer, and every labor of love, for a still
larger manifestation of God!s,blessing upon us.
