'Proceedings of the Synod of Wheeling . The Synod of Wheeling met at Wash ington on the evening of Friday, October 11th, and was opened with a sermon by Rev. Thos, R. Crawford, the last Modera tor, from Mark xvi : 15. There were present at the opening of the sessions, fifty-six ministers and thirty five ruling elders. Two ministers and five ruling elders were afterwards enrolled. This suininioig up shows a smaller attend ance than usual.

Second, in relation to the Board of Trust, Committee reported a reduction in the lia bilities during Ore year of nearly $7OO. The Board was 'recommended to proceed without delay to collect all outstanding notes and subscriptions of contributors; to put the notes and subscriptions into the hands of the travelling Agent, Mr. A. L. Litrell, so far as they may deem expedient, who is authorized to enforce all collections, after Jan. Ist, 1868. The Committee also recommended that a plan of endowing the President's Chair be submitted to the people of the Synod, and the friends of the InstitutiOn elsewhere, and that said endowment be fixed at 's2o,- 000. The recommendation was adopted, and a committee of three from each Presby tery was appointed to carry out the action contemplated in the, recommeudatiori.

M. ,JAMES T., BROWNSON, JAMES BEAM, Com. of Publication. NARRATIVE. This Synod embraces more than fourteen thousand professed disciples of the Re deewer,whose mission `in• the world, in its effects upon the condition of the human family, is, inisome sense, the same in kind' as his own. How have `they fulfilled their mission during the past year? and what signs of spiritual life does the body this day shoW? The present narrative has to do with such inquiries. Reports from the four Presbyteries com posing the . Synod, have been collated in the formation of , this. Of these, all :take Dote of the manner in which the condition of the nation has affected the interests of true religion. This is the prorninent idea, as might have been expeeted. The members in the Church are powers in the Govern ment, and their connexion therewith is now one.of suffering, and has been - so for twelve more months. Suffering can be made to promote piety in the heart. Since the last narrative was sent forth, it has pleased • the glorious Head of the ChUrch to continue this, as the chief providential means of perfecting the 'saints herein re ferred to. The inquiry is pertinent, What fruits of righteousness have been wrought . thereby ? There are some which can be mentioned. This Synod has, to-day, the spiritual,watch of many' w,ho have had grace given them to yield, what is most dear when an ordinance of- God is threatened, and because - it is threatened. This is no common attain ment. Then, too, Synod believes that, as the result of •thisldiscipline of trial, there': are within its bounds more vivid appre.hen; sions of the unity of the body ofChrist in , suffering, and of its es:ceeding ,value. There is an increase -of real, heartfelt supplies tions for mercy. The value of intercessory prayer is felt as it was not before. The conviction is deepening, that God alone is the actual. Sovereign Disposer of events the ra p e not being to, the swift, nortbe bat-, tle:to the 'strong. There is a groiiing fed, lug that civil rulers cad alone discharge theirldi<ies for the. greatest. goo Of tire. greatest number, as they are imbued with God's Spirit. The alibi' storm has diSCOO ered more fully where the righteous can finthrefuge. , =" They hive' bow' 0454 plete possession , of the precious truth that all this commotion is meant to hasten the day when Jesus, the King in Zion, shell be owned (as he is not now. And the true religion has : , successfully encountered a fresh test of its adaptation to meet every emergency. dP diiry. A' .we've field Tor Christian effort has been opened -up by the marshalling of ;the heitshe: fight the' code try's battles. The membership of this Synod has not lagged behind in such effort,. These • are certainly good fruits. resulting from the trial. They , are here mentioned to the praise of God. ' And yet, it , must be admitted that the effects of the trials through which the na tion is passing, are, in too many cases, det rimental to the 'interests of 'true religieo The, reports froin,the Presby teries' complain of the tendency of this condition to dis tract and secularize.. tnany, ,has become he all- r alAorbing intereet, - ind, be cause of this, new obstacles have arisen in, the' way' Of s corN , ersionS. In game' camel/ the interest in the means of grace is, les sen ed. The -condition-has - tended to :crip ple the pecuniary energies of the Church, as well as to the increase of profanity"-and, kindred vices. The members of this Synod deplore these facts, and eihort their, people to greater humiliation, -watchfulness; and prayer, en account of them. It can be reported'. that, dUring the year, the ministers' of this Synod--nearly,one hiliadred iri4F l uniber!---lia4re beat dikebar employed in, preaching the unselrehahle, riehes of Christ, as opportunities pre sented ; three of them haying- . shared the privations of camp, as chaplains. -Within the year, one of the number, Dr. Comingo', has been called to his rest. The- beloved brother stood before'the Synod on last An tumn, and; very near the emblims of a suffering Saviour,- forewarned :those Who heard him of the coming of more troublous times. It cannot be said that, in his im pressions, he took - in the fact of his own removal, nevertheless the same has come to pass, and• it has been t one: of the trials of the year. The number, thus broken, has had added thereto, four additional names of those newly ordained to•the work of the Gospel ministry.- And what ground of thanksgiving is had in the' ,religious ewes thin adverted.to.
