Prayer by Rev. Wm. Robinson.,
REVISION OF THE BOOR OF DISOIPLIHE
A motion was made to accept the Report.
Dr. Burcittivninoe hoped that the reel:into:on
dation of the Committee would not be agreed to . .
The work had been in the hands of the Com
mittee for five years. They had three meetings,
and upon some questions they were unanimous,
and upon others they disagreed.; and he saw no
.robability of their agreeing. The new book,
which the Committee had formed, and a few
copies were sent to the Presbyteries, was a good
book, and he did
,not believe it, could be im
proved. He, therefore,' hoped the Matter ivoidd
be taken up by the Assembly, and the Commit
tee discharged; or that a new Committee be ap
pointed.
Dr. JOHNSON also hoped that the Committee
would he discharged.
Elder CLARK, of Michigan, opposed the dis
charge of the Committee, and thought that the
-work should be recommitted. There were ques
tions to be decided by the General. Assembly
' Inch would occupy one-half of the session in
heir discussion, and he thought they should be
eft for a time when the country was settled. Ile
oved to recommit.
Dr. Hone wished to correct the improssion
Lich was prevalent, that the acceptance of the
r eport discharged the Committee. He thought
e adoption of the Report: did, not discharge
hem ; it was • only the acceptance of a partial
eport.,
Dr. Jossin stated a few very clear and logical
easons why the matter should not be acted upon
t the present time.
Dr. MUSGRAVE was in favor of the recommen
dation of the Committee. They 'had not report
-41 the book, but had merely made l a partial re
%;ort. He was in favor of postponing all deciiive
tion until a future meeting of' the General As
bly.
Dr. P.Awrost explained that the object of the
Committee was merely to ask the Assembly to
Postpone final or decisive action.
llemarks were also made by several other gen
tlemen, when Mr. Clark withdrew his motion to
recommit.
Dr. Hoag then reqnested that the4luestion be
put—" Wilt the Assembly postpone action: on the
Revised "
The motion was put in this form atuldecitled
in the affirmatiie.
A motion to distribute the two hund redlinn and
, .-
fifty interleaved copies, how in tbnse, of the
'Revised Discipline among the Presbyteries, was

Dr. Jmuctx offered a resolution instructing the
Board of Publipation, to cause to :beTrittted:two
thousand copies of the Revised Discipline with
the portions of the old hook sought to be amend

BOARD OF PUBLICATION.
Dr. TiOnsims, Chairman of the Clominittee
on the Boardof Publication, submitted the fol-
lowing Report:- . •
That.having carefully examined the Report of;
the Board, together .with 116' Minutes of the
Board and'the 'Minuttia of the - Bieoutive Com
mittee, they- reo6mtnend the approval'of 'these
Minutes as far aewri.tten t itatd would , respectfolly
submit the following;resolutions, of the AsseMbly
or its adoption :
Resolved, That this General oontijiue
to regard thelioardbf-Millitation as Most'im
.ortant and efficient agetirty of the - Church,- in
disseminating and defending. Divine Trtith, and
.
pproves of the wisdom, prodehoe and,, energy
th which.) did:affairs 'of - thO Board have been
'.onducted during , the past year:
Resolved, That the Assembly is espeeially
gratified to learn that the Board has entered with
so much zeal and efiloiency on the most impor
tant work of supplyidg the army and navy of
the United States, and also prisoners of war,
with suitable religious reading; and that, not
withstanditig the troubles of the country, it.bis
been enabled to employ so many colporteurs, who
devote thdnteOlvea to this new And exceedingly
nteresting field; and the Assembly, in view of
he magnitude and urgency of this work, urgently
ecommend the chu}ohes under its care to sue
t ain the Board by"' liberal contributions to its
colportage and distribution fund..
Resolved, That the Aistsettibly iepleased to find
1. at the Board is actively engaged in publishing
, 00ks of suitable charticter.for juvenile reading
nd Sabbath School libraries; and that it be re
mmended to the Board, in view.of the exigences
;f the Church, to furnish a still cheaper edition
.f Sabbath School books.
Rsealved t That the Assembly realms its reoom
..,endatiOn' of the Sabbath School Tisitor to our
ongregetions as a most efficient aid in the work
• f Sabbath Sehoolinstruction. ~,
'Dr. MoPuenretti supported his 'rep r eit with
ome forcible and Interesting remarks touching
he great. work of supplying the army and navy
ith suitable religious reading, and in which
Board . had been very active, and with the moat
gratifying results. . .
Dr. Samon, Secretary of tile,Aoard, also
spoke earnestly - and eloquently in oomniendation
.of the proceedings of the Board. He stated
.that, while the aggregate of their receipts was
less than in Years.of public quiet, yet. the amount
received from-the States whose public tranquility
had not been disturbed was greater than wall re
ceived from the same States in other years. The
, Works of the oolporteurs had been this yenr moie
taan usual of a misitiOnary character, and many
(kore• boOks donated than heretofore, Much,
,perhaps most of this work had been done in con
nexion
with the army, eSpeolally in the hospitals,
.iwhere reading matter of .this kind was greedily
asked for. . ,
Many of the men had read these little books
thus donated with such frequency as to have
memorized the whole. Also among prisoners of
war, there was a. great desire toiget this kind of
reading, from which, as many chaplains testified,
,great good had been accomplished. '
,The publi
cations were in great demand ; and funds were
Wasted to supply them ; . it would require eight
' lliOttliand or ten thousand dollars to beet the ap
,plications now urged upon them. 411
• ' Dr. SLOAN, of Washington, Pa., said he cor
dially approved the action of the Beard. Ho
would suggest, however, that the books should
be made on a cheaper scale as to qualit/iiin or
der to reduce the expense of procuring tlipPi.
Dr. Sizvv.rtion spoke' eloquently on Ithe sub
ject. He said it waa,his solemn convirstrOu that
-.there never had been lefore such a field fon,the
' operations of the printed truth. Our whole army
'of sit hundred thousaPil men are thirsting,lor
reading. Imagine any one of us cut off for only
one day from all reading, and we could feel te
importance, of this supply., Our immense eitd'," '
of more than half a million of men, citizens, and
most of them educated and i intelligent, have:gone
out among new temptations, from which it wol,
be strange that they could-escape. To mee
their spiritual wants, we, as:Presbyterians, ought
to have 04one five times as much. This field' is
new, is hopeful, and aeon tb Titres away. I know
not the amount applied, but I suppose itbe
s2o,ooo—how far would this suin groin seetußg
this supply? To furnish each soldier with only
one book, costing but 'six ItentsofOuld require
$86,000. And what would only one such book
be among intelligent :minder used to, abundant
reading? Yes, brethrem.the'PreObyterianChurnh
Ought to put into their hands three times as much
88 they h%ve given.
Hr. Juror's spoke of the eager demand there
had been' fir these little books in the hespitals in
Philadelphia. There he had found in a room of
only about twenty feet square, men of six, differ-
en t nationalities. There were Swiss, Hungarian,
Dutch, Italians, Irish, and. the everlasting, and
übiquitous Yankees; and everywhere was found,
what' isAttiown as the 'Sotdier's ?oats-I:oak; un
der their pillows. He gave an indignant denial
to the assault of what he called a villainous New=
York paper, charging' cruelty in the Philadel
phia hospitals, -11 e, read from a-letter received
by hiM from the compandattt at Pert Delaware,
in reply tothe inquiry as to sending reading to
the sew* prisoners; in which the writer elo
quently alludes to the obdurating effects of their
delusion—saying that n the spirit of; '6'e:cession
renders them utterly perverse alurobstinate, it
ossifies the heart ; it breaks all, ties; •it operates
alike upon the godly and the sinful; it absorbs
all the sentiments of humanity very love is
ferny late Come downhili, and see if this be
not-the truth ! " He said he posted forthwith to
the Board of •Publication' for books but found
that they had been stint already.. Depend upon
it brethren, yourßonrd is wide awake. Let the
resautions be passed:.. .
Rev. Mr. =, (name unknown to us) stated,
that he had visated Cairo, and. thence, had fol r
lowed the army up the Tennessee, and had dfst
tributed , twelve thousand velumes or these little
books in the-hospitals; and had given three haul
dred and sixty thousand pages of tracts. He
had itathia way put. relief:Ms , retitling 'into the
hands'of not less than forty-five thousand nert,,
anctlits felt convinced, that it had"been . effectual'
for'nufeh good. •
Dr. Moilnov said that it was doubtless a work
of much importance. These instrumentalities of
the,Churoh ought to 'be well ,
tti understood. : The
dine' is now' very peculiar; aild'sees
its voice and saying unto us, and to this Board:
Thiukt,inlthy sickle tirid'iestol". - •
Some objections have beetWurged that the
working machinery of this Board-is,too expen
sive ; and 'on thiSacConniTUndi had been cut off.
He did not know that the working expenses of the
Board were too great; hut had heard it so said;
and the.facts, should be known. He:therefore of
fered this resolution:
Radioed, That the Committee be instructed to
examine if the working of the Beard could not
be made less expensive, , and report to the next-
General Assembly.
He wished to interposeno obstacle to their usit
fulness, = He knew there is deep' feeling in the
Church on this subject, and on account of it
they would find many channels of contribution
to its funds stopped. x. ,
The whole matter'eught to . be Made knownto
the Church to allay this feeling,: it had come
to be understood that. your Committees on this
subject 'ore packed, so compised - as to make, all
go ,free and easy, keeping men Continually im of

Mr, MesanAVE said that he,'Wes a' friend of
the Board. .He had been an original Member,
.
and so continued.till a few years since. He was
aware that there is a very deep' "feeling in the
Church at large on the subject. of :the manage
ment of that Board. Therein no. use" in contieal=
ing it. I said some years since some things that
did not concur with the feelings of the Board,
and pretty Soon my name was dropped; and
such I believe las grown to he the custom—to
dion members when they do noi4ttit'the 'Beard.
I simply requested a committee of inquiry in the
Most friendly manner. I do not intend to, say
any thing now against the management of the
Board.;" By looking at one special subject for a
long time from one particular Standpoint; men's
minds are apeto be warped in favor of their own
specialties: I would not ask the Board as to
whether a committee should eisinine, Init'at the
right time give us en able, nmageous, and im
partial committee. This may not-be the time.
The Board Maynot have had a fair chance this
year, and it may not, therefore, be right to judge
them now. If the Board ;would invite an exami
nation, I would,think it graeefutin them.'

them, she got some idea of the It trtitps pre
sented from the pulpit, and'some topics for
meditation. Sometimes an aged sister in

her report of the services. " What did the
