THE ENERA-L ASSEMBLY.
V
sAUHATii, May U7.
Our citizens were siven the benefit of
5 the presence of the members ol the Cien-
eral Assembly in a popular way. The
i churches of the city were occupied by
r vititing n inisterg. Some strong sermons
were preached and general expressions
of favor are heard. As they were not a
part of the assembly proceedings it is
only necessary to refer to them incident
ally. The writer heard ihe Moderator
in me morning at the U f church in a
discourse of much talent, and W .1 Reid,
he stated clerk, in the evening. He is a
popular talker. lr McClennahan's S. S.
discourse was full of leamiug. l)r Reid's
tale to a mas? meeting of Junior Endeav
ors of the city at 4 o'clock was one of the
treats of the day. Betw een 300 and 400
members communed nt the services at j
the church in the morning, the prepara-'
tory sermon for which had been delivered
the evening previous by Dr Hanna. The j
delegates pronounced the day one of
spiritual feasts-
ncjcday mousing May 27.
Assembly met and was opened with
prayer by Rev Frailer .
A memorial from the lay delegates to
the Assembly asks that the list of de
ceased elders be published in connection
with the minutes of the Assembly, was
referred to the committee on bills and
overtures. The committee on Sabbath
schools made the following report:
'It's 'matter regret', data furnished
ua is not more complete. Five presby
terians; viz, Indiana, Monmouth, Ohio,
Pittahargh and Vermont representing
fifty-seven schools have sent no reports.
Other presbyteries send incomplete re
ports; in all making one hundred and
seven schools from which we have no
statistics. Had it not been for this
omission it is believed that substantial
progress would appear in almost every
department of work. As compared with
the report of 1893 advancement has been
made in the number of elders attending
Sabbath schools; the number of scho'ars ;
in the total average attendanca ot schol
ars and teachers aud in tome other par
ticulars. There has beeu a slight de
crease in the amount contribu ed by the
schools as compared with the last report
In view of these facts we recommend
1. That in as much a i we have forty
less Sabbatn schools than congregations
not withstanding the fact that a number
of congregations report more I han one
school we urge that in every congrega
tion, at least oie Sabbah school be or
ganized unless circumstances render
such an organization absolutely imprac
ticable. 2. That the Presbyterial Sabbath
school superintendents be directed to
make strenuous efforts to secure a report
from every Sabbath school in the church
and report the same to the permanent
committee.
3. That we express our gratitude to
Almighty God for his blessing upon this
department of the church's work duiing
the past year.
4. That conlerences and conventions
t held in the different presbyteries
under the direction of the Presbyteriul
Sabbath school superintendents wher
ever practicable.
5. That the third Sabbath of Oct be
appointed as a da? of special prayer for
.Sabbath retools i 1 all our churches ; and
the last Sabbath of June 18'Jo as mission
ary day.
tjih schools be appropriated as hereto j
6. that the ontnhotrnnii if tl.9 a-
lore viz: tirst quarter (July Sept
Foreign missions. Second quarter (Oct !
Dec) Home missions. Third quarter
fjasi Mar) Church extens;on. Fourth i
quarter (Apr June) Freedman's mission
The Assembly next proceeded to take
op the unfinished business leu over
from Saturday. This was the consider-
tiojCLOf the report of thai committee on f
itlls and Overtures. To the second sec
tion of this report, relating to the open
ining and closing of the sessions in our
Allegheny Theological Seminary, Ir A G
Wallace offered the following amend
ment: "That the directors in control of the
seminary be allowed to exercise their
deecrition aa to the time of opening and j
closing ot the session, provided that the
term of study be not shortened and that .
the directors report to the assembly their
action in this matter,'' which after some !
.little discussion wae adopted.
In regard to the third section of this
report relating to a general delegate find
and on which the committee reported
that no action be taken, the assembly
adopted the report ol the committee
Tho fonrth srlinn relating tn hhtii t
eebool music and anthems for children. !
wae likewise adopted as reported bv the.
eommittee.
Section fire of this report, relat
free church papers to our foreign m
ants, was likewise adapted.
Section six, relating to the iesuing of
a church Thanksgiving piocUmation by
the moderator, and which was recom
mended favorably, was adopted.
Section seven, relating to the memorial
from BrookvilU Pres., regarding the
& word "Sunday" and which was reported
adversely, was adopted.
Section eight of this report or memor
ial from Concord'.a Pres., on union of
Psalm singing churches, aud which waa
reported favorably was adopted heartily.
Sectfon nine or memorial from Pres
bytery from Caledonia, relating to the
assembly's meeting in a more central
part of the church and which was re
ported adversely, was passed unanimous
ly The next paper on the docket, was the
report of the committee on Sabbath
school?, which was taken up and passed
the assembly, without any alteration

emphasized tlie success of the Industrial
department of this school and urged that
it might be kept up and encouraged. Rev
.1 B Work, of Norfolk College, was next
called upon to address the assembly in
behalf of the woik among the Freed men
at this point. He spoke of the evil re
sults which still follows as a result of
! their long period of slavery that every
noble principle in them has been
trampled oat and that conscience among
them is wanting save where they have
had the uplitir.g influences of christian
schools.
AKTKKNOON SKSSION. May 28.

after the calling of the roll and reading of
the minutes, took up the order of the day
which was the consideration of the report
of the committee on Home missions. The

txibutions of the year have exceeded those

'2. The adoption of the annual report of
the board of the General committee. This
included the adoption of some fie resolti- !
tions, one cf which provoked some little
discussion. "That hereafter the failure
of anv mission to pay its full quoto to the
boards of the church shall operate as a
barrier to the granting of its ropiest for 1
I aid. Ir A (i ahace effered an amend-
ment substituting the words, "a reasonable
contributition ' instead of its full quota,
which was adopted.
3. An expression of the high apprecia
tion of the energy with which the board
has conducted its work and seiziug the
strategic points of the mission field.
4 That pastors and sessions le urged
to educate their people to feel obligated to
meet the obligations laid moon them by the
assembly and that the obligations 5e met
quarterly.
5. That financial agents of Prebyteries
send out quarterly statements to each con
gregation stating their obligations and
urgingthat they lie met in full.
0. That the assembly take such steps as
will make the quota an assessment for
which Presbyteries shall hold their con
gregations responsible.
7. While tie General committee of mis
sions is not in all respects saiifactory. yet it
is the best that can be devised at present
and recommends no change.
8. That a comvaitte of five be anotntad
to report to tho next assembly on the con
stitutions of the General committee of
Home missions, with a special view to se
curing, if possible, some degree of eontin
uity in the niem'oership of the General
committee.

The assembly took op the unfinished bus
iness, which was the consideration of the
report of the committee on Freedmens mis
sion. This report was. in substance, as
follows:
l 1st. Resolved. That -e record onr gr.it
' itude to God for his continued blessing up
on this work.
2. That we heartily approve tlie work of
the board, of the missionaries and teachers
in their several stations.
3. That we esieviail', commend the ef-
. fort put forth to carry on the work in the
Industrial department.
4. That we urtre the prosecution of the
wo$ of reaching the children of this once
enslaved race and "instead of the fathers
take the children and make them noble
princes in lbs land."
This report was adopted without altera
tion. Kight o'clock was the hour set for the
Elders conference. According to program

talent in this direction.
The first speaker was Mr T II Gaa'.t. of
Chicago. 111. His subject was: "The
Offering a Part of Worship." He set
forth the truth that the offering, fo be true,
must be from the heart, and. drew ;ji illus
tration from the "widows mite."
Mr W S Heicig ait spoke on "The

"The Envelope System"' a presented by
Mr A M S?ott of Braddock. Pa. He met
t-e common objections to this system in a
forcible ntanuer. The fact that the system
is new or that there is too much work con
necteil with it was shown to Ire groun 1!. .
Mr (oit exploded the niethesi of raising
funds bv socials.
"The Pastor and Finance'" was the sub
j jeet assigned Mr J D Ferjjusjn. Philadel
I phia. Pa. The speaker ras in favor of the
I pastor taking an active pan in church fi
nances
Mr WM Brown, of FparU. BL, spe
on "The Elder and Finance." He spoke of
the leading place which the elder should
take in church finance. He should not
wait to the end of the year to pay his part
of the pastors salary.
1 ne obligation lo pay the quota compared
with the obligation to pay congregational
expenses which waa tae iat subject, was
liscussed by noiiert t Mchinnev. ot Ham
ilton, Ohio. These two obligations were
placed cn an equality and equally binding.
After the conference held last eyening.the
sua. -ess ot an elders conference was mad?
manifest and Presbyterial Filler's confer
ences will doubtless be more frequent in the
future. Happy are thus churches which
have such elders as spoke last erninir and
Presbyteries which have a Mr Hie to
preside.
XObS'I.NQ -SESSION, MAY 29.
After the usual devotional exercises, the
first order of business was fixing the place
of meeting of tho neiLt General Assembly.
Invitations were rectived from the bth
Church, Pittsburgh, Pa.; from Bellefoun
tain, O.. from Xenia. 0. The vote of the
assembly was seventy in favor of Pittsburgh,
one in favor of Bellefountain, O., and fifty
one in favor of Xenia, O.
An invitation waa then extended from
the Chart iers congregation in C4urrnona
burg, fa., to the committee of Home mi,
sioxis to meet there. Indiana, Pa., also
extended an invitation but the assembly de-
tided in favor of Cannoasburg, ra.
Ihe assembly then proceeded to UU busi
ness of the hour, which was the considera
tjon of the report of committee on Foreign
missions, ihe report, in substance, is as
follows: It has been a year cf unusual loss
and hardship. The death of the venerable
Dr Dales, late secretary of this hoard and
the death of the wife of a young missionary ;
the return of four more on account of fail
ure in health and the feeble health of five
more; supply of new workers lieing wholly
inadequate to meet the needs of tbe Its 1
and three being sent out the past yea
makes it a year of unusual less and hard
ship. On the other hand there have been
anv enaiuraxirit; features, nach held re
porta marked growth and prosperity. The
appointment of four new missionaries by
the Iroard, and their virtual accephtnee
shows that the missionary spirit in the
church is not dead. The following i .in
tions were presented for adoption:
1st. Ihat the assembly hereby express
its high appreciatiation of the very
efficient, and largely gratuitous services of
the lab' Corresponding heeretery, Kev .1 li
Dales, D D, and also its deep use of loss
in his removal by death.
2. That the appointment of a Field sec
retary is asked for by the seminaries anfl
certain Presbyteries, would give tnis board
an undue advantage in its work and is
therefore not now desirable.
IJ. That the salary of the treasurer of the
board lie increased to and that such
increase date from Oct 1KI3, when the
present treasurer entered u-win his otiiec.
4. In answer to the memorial from Mo
nongabe'a Presbytery, asking that a cor
responding secretary be apirointed who
shall give his time to the work, committee
recommend that it be not granted.
With reference to the plans of the lioard
submitted to this assembly for its approval,
we recommend me roiiowing:
1. W'e confirm the appointment to India
of Rsv Geo K Henderson of (ilen Elder,
Kas., Miss Minnie Spencer of Columbus,
Neb., and Miss M Fulton, of Summerfield,
Kas. We also confirm tbe appointment to
Kgyptof Miss Minnhaha Finney, of Knox
vflle, Tenn.
i. We imtliorize the board to appoint
and semi out as speedily as possible two
male and two female missionaries to India
and one male :ind two female missionaries
to Egypt.
vi; iiuthorio the board (o send to
oaon mission dm one or more qiiiiiitied
persons who shall be employed, so much of
tiieir time as may be necessary, in educat
ing the children of the missionaries, pro
vided that tlie parents ol these children
shall compensate the board for the portion
of the time of the missionaries so employed.
4. We authorize the reduction of" the
first term of service in a mission field to
seven years; the subsequent terms of ser
vice to remain as at present, namelv. ten
years .

lHiring the session of the Assembly in
Albany the thought came 'o some one to
call a meeting of nil the Alumni, present,
of Westminister College. 'Ibis movement
resulted in the discovery that away out
here on the Pacific coast; at a meeting of
the General Assembly thirty-nine Alumni
of Westminister College could lie found,
i he different classes represented were ns
follows: One from the class of '.'ili; two
from the class of '58: two from 'Ik); two
from 'w; two from 't4: three from '60; one
from "IK- thr.,., f-., 71- I fr.-,ii '7-
three from '74; two from TSj one from ''.;
one from '79; two from 'SI : three from V2;
two from 'St; three from 7: one from 88j
one from 'Si'; and two from "OT.
It was thought fitting owintr to th? large
number present to meet some evening- in a
social way and invite all the Alumni to M
present and their wives. Accordingly, on
hearing this. Mr and Mrs Saiu'l K Young
whoiiossess that large spirit cf hospitality
characteristic ot tins .orui-west, sent a
request that the Alumni accept their in
vitation to meet and spend an evening
socially wiui titem. luis invitation was
Kindly accepted; and on Monday evening
a party ot lorty or more KM by lr ll.uina
proceeded to the home of Mr ;uid Mrs
Young; where they were given a hearty
welcome and made to feel at home in their
lieautiful parlors. This meeting wm hon
ored by the presence of lr Black, who was
among the first professors in Westminister
College: his term dating from 'X! to 04.
the Doctor spoke, in his usual modest
j way. of the little good he had been able to
' accomplish in life: but expressed the joy it
i gave huu to see those who were once under
j him occupying high positions in the church
I and in tlie world.
I This was responded to, in a speech bv
DrJ A W ilson. lr Withersixxm and Others
who assured the venerable Doctor that his
labors had ever been apprecia'cd and had
he?n a moulding factor, for good, in their
lives. Congratulatory speeches, expressive
of the good work Westminister was doing
and of her progress in recent vears were
made bv Rev M M Gibson. I) 1. of San
rrancisco; bv rres
res Sieniw. of Cooivr
Memorial College; by I'r J I Rankin and ;
Rev T .1 Wilson. The following resolutions
were adopted by a unanimous vote: "Wet
the members of the Alumni
Association of
w estminister College, in Albany, irregon
assembled do most heartily irajoice in the
evidence of prosperity that is beina; enjoyed
by our beloved Alma Mater.
Especially are we gratified to learn that
by the generosity of her friends such an
important advance step could bo made in
her equipments as the erection of the Man
Thompson Science Hall. And we would
earnestly commend the example of these
friends to other persons, of nu-ans. 111 ihe
lelief that no more lasting monument can
be erected to a man's mctiiorv than that
which results from the investment of a
good gift upon a worthy institution of
learning. We would furthermoie desire to
assure the Faculty and Tnsstees of tlie
college of our undiminished sffe-;tion for
our Alma Mater and pledge them our in
tluence and cooperation in any afferta that
may look toward the advanceiuer.' of her
iuterest. and especially would we seek to j
direct the young people of our respective j
communities toward her walis to secure an
education and to encourage men of wealth
among our acquaintance to bestow
her their gifts."

The next report taken up for niwslilais
tion was the report ot UM committee on
Ijoard of l'ubliration. The committee re
ported congratulating the Ward on its fin
ancial suctetss, that notwithstanding the
stringttney of the times: their business has
increased and they have made money. The

imard has ljettn faithful in introducing
llible Songs into uaicn meetings, non
sectarian schools and etc. Notwithstand
ing all her financial tOeeOM, the 'Ommittee
fei.-l that the iKiard of I'ublication has not
enough missionary spirit; that they are
more for making money than furthering
the cause of our church. Its prices are
two high and it is net popular with many
of its customers. Tbe committee present
the following resolutions 1 which have been
abridged) for their adoption.
1. In order to increase the popularity
and efliciency of this board of tin; thun h,
do recommend the appointment of a com
mitUte of three to examine into the policy,
work, business methods, complaints, and
etc., and report to the next (leneral As

tion nnovoked no little discussion, but was
voted down with a large majority.
2. That the Assembly approves of the
advertisements in the Christian Union,
iiuarterlies and other rieriodicalH to help
pay expenses; but we feel great caution
should be shown in the selection of them.
Dr Ittid offered the following amendment
"Beaolrad that the assembly disapprove of
any advertisement in tho Christian l.'uion
or llible Teaiher" but the amendment was
lost, and the resolution of the committee
was adopted.
Q3. That the busincs manager andfr-ditor
of the Christian . I'nion be direeb'd
b) make this paper wholly devoted to tho
interests of the vounir people nnd not aim
to make it a family journal. This resolu
ion was voted down, but afterwards a mo
tion was made for reconsideration and
carried. A second vote on the resolution,
however, resulted the same as tho first.
4, That the board be ordered to issue, as
soon as possible, an "edition of the Bible
Hongs without the denominational imprint ;
or if this be impracticable to preparcar.il
publish without this imprint another book
suitable for use in union meetings and by
other churches. After some discussion tho
resolution was adopted.
5. That tho board of I'ublication be re
lieved from further oversight of Sabbath
School work and that a suirerintendent and
a coarmitleo on Habbath Svhools Ikj appoint-
en. The assembly did not sustain the com
inittee in this part of their report
6. That the board of Publication be
I directed to dispense with its retail depart-
ment. aa at present COndocUd and that it

Hiested to omit, hereafter, in nil future

found on the first leaf liev KG Kyle KMO
offered a resolution which was incorporated
and which is: Uesolved. that we rci-uost
the board of Publication to stiike out Iroiu
the title page of the Psalter, in all future
editions the word "Of the United Preeby
t er in n church of North American.'' After
all these alterations tlie report as a whole
was adopted.

The order of the day for the evening was
a conference on Sabbath Schools. Kev Al
liort Wareham. of the Presblery of Albany
presided. I'rof Wiley, of Monmouth, III.,
presented B paper OB the "Organi.ation
and Management of Sabbath Schools."
Itev Samuel j Lindsay, to whom was at
signed the subject of Presbyterial Insti
tute'' was not present and so was omitted.
Kev I A MeCtenahan, I D. next ire
seted a paper M"Adranoed Bible study".
The author of this paper, while not con
denming the International Sabbath School
Lessons, yet endeavored to to show that they
are too fragmentary. To remedy this the
author recommended a "Hook Study" ol
the lfiule and also that it l stuiliisl by
subjects. Prcceeance. however, was given
to book study, as the prime method. Kev
S J Kyle, of Artrvle Presbytery, spoke on
t'rin'mrv Work m the Sabbath School."
The speaker emphasized the nuporl:uice of
ebiki
the Sabiiath School, they
should lie first hunted out and then in
structed. Childhood is the time for lasting
impressions to be made and the only time
when the mind is pliable. Kev S B Smiley,
of Caunonshurg, Pa., spoke on Ihe pri
mary Object of all Sabbath School Work."
The primary object was set fcrth as being
not merely the gathering together of so
many pupils or presenting to them ivrtain
lessons, but rather the effort to glorify I kti
in the salvation of .-oul-.

I regard for the sanctity of tho bird's day
even by fjrofessiiii! christians in the uie
of Sunday train, rea.iiug ol hunday pa

credness of the Sabbath, receiving or de
positing mail tatatter.Of tba performanca
of other unnecessary work. That we
urge upon our people the faithful obser
vance of the rahbatb as a day of rest.
3. That we commend all rairoads and
all other corporations which show re
spect for the scriptures and such laws
for the Sabbath by ceasing their labors
on the Holy !ay.
3. iliti we urge the paaaago 01 'lie
bill now before congress known as the
"ltlair's Sunday Kest Mill "
TaatWaAJSca. Kesolved, 1st. Tba' we
regard tbe IkjOOC traffic as the over
shadowing curse of this nation; an
entiny to the peace, purity and prosperi
ty of the ho.ne, the church and state.
To license this traffic is a sin against God
and a crime against humanity. Being
morally wrong it can never be made
legally rigt-t. "For the Son of God was
manifested'' not to regulate "but to de
stroy the works of the Devil." In this
connection we lament the fact that one
of our states enjoying the benefit of pro
hibition baa taken a backward step and
its legislation has so far forgotten the
dignity of law as to bargain for (ha vio
ation of its own statute. We believe
that Hie time has fully come when
chriitians should cease to be indifferent
and should unite their efforts regardless
of previous party alfilliationg for its com
plete suppression.
2. That in our judgment no christian
can lie held innociit of wrong-doing w bo,
when a moral question is at issue bo votes
as lo be counted against the side of
righteousness.
Caanrrtaa amhndm rn r Hfaolved, 1st,
That we lament that there ig not more
distinct and full recognition of the ex
istence of Christ as the ruler of the na
tion and the supremacy of Ilia law as re
vealed in the scriptures in our national
constitution than it now contains. Thnt
we urge the passage of the joint resolu-
tion proposing the amendment to the
constitution ol the V S, now tabled bv
the committe of the house mid senate
cover'ng this matter.
2. That the petition put into our hands
be signed by the .-.nodera'or nnd clerk for
this Assembly and returned lo fho peti
tioners. :!. That we commend the national re -
- j friu Assembly for the work of bringing
tbe Christian Amendment before congiesa
