FRATERNAL OTPETING. A tolegram was received from the Prosbyterisn Cuurch Bouth, now in session in Columbus, Miss,, scknowledging the salutation, aud oxtond- ing greotings, Ordored placed ou tho minutes of the Assombly. . CONSOLIDATION, Aftor »briof discussion, it was sgreed that horeafter, during the discussion of tho subjoct of consolidation, spocchos should be limite ton mibutes onch. Dr, Lyman Atwater, of the Synod of Now Jer- sey, wag the firat speaker. “Ho mnid that this dlacusslon, lasting a8 long as it has, was oating juto tho bonovolent work of the Cburch. Thls work was like o scusitive plant, and easil aftocted. The whole quostion was one of churol coromonles, and it {4 a principle of economy that oflicioncy of lsbor ‘fa augmented by & division. Ono man can attend but to tho inter- osts of o dopartmont. Ho hnd yei to loarn that thoro would bo any improvemont in evangelism, a8 s whole, in massing tho Doards togother. ITu regard to tho proposed changos, ho thought of starting with sustentation, and that to omit the collection for thia purpose would bo virtually to abolish 1t. Thore was & most dan- gerous tondonoy in tho United States just uow to soparato tho wonk from tho strong. ~The old Boards had mads some mistakes, perhaps, but they could reotify them in futuro. The now Boards would not do any better. It had been said thot thero was an “oxtensive fooling in the Church for consolidation, but ho bolieved that tho region of tho fooling was small. Dr. C. W. Musgrave, of Philadalphia, followed in o spooch agaivst ' consolidation, which, bo said, ag proposod, waa nothing moroe than con- tralization, He hed beou o paator for twonty yoars, and a Becretary for ton years, and kuow something of tho munner in “which thio peoplo contribute, no mattor in what cause. Youask for mouoy from them, and thoy invariably give you 85, and if you consolidate tho objocts under one Board you decroase your rovenuo. It ‘wza not consolidation to call theso bonrds bu-~ reaus ‘There is no saving in such a pro- ceoding,. Ho did not sco any great roason for a ohnngo any way, Tho Church to-day lod tho world’s yan ‘in tho matter of coutributions. Ho had boon the Chinirmen of the Comfintteo on the Froodmon, at thostart, and tho undorstand- ing thon wag bhat it should bo tomporary, to moot tho exigencios of tho times, It should bo discontinuod whenovor it cou bo. In rogard to church orection, ho opposed its being morged with the Board of Home Missions, o would Leop it distinct, and havo it trausferrod to thia great contral city of tho West. If tho peoplo in the Woat wanted moro churches, they should do alt they could to keap that Board intact. The constant advoeating of a chango in the Boards, ho thought, had an offoct on mon who loft in their wills boquests to tho varlons Boards, On motion of Dr. Herrick Johuson, the con- sidoration of the sacond point in the minority roport, in offoct that with_tho Board of Homo Minsions bo consolidoted tho Sustentation and Freedmon’s Bourds, wus poatponed, ond tho point rofating to publication was iaken up, Dr. William P, Broed, of Philadelphis, gave statistics rolating to the work done by the Pub- lioation Bocioty and the colportoura iu ten years, ‘Threo million volumos and 30,000,000 pagos of tracts hiad boen distributed, Ho advised them to lot tho Board alone, if thoy would not wisely. Dr, Beth O, Logan, of Scranton, said if there was to bo a consolidation he wanled a Doard of Evangolization, with a Board of Homo Misslons a8 an outcroping, THE REFONMED PRESBYTERIANS. Dr. Dasling, from the Committeo appointed at the last Goneral Assombly to meot tho Commit~ tae from the 8ynod of the Roformed Presbyte- rian Church of the United Btatcs, reported that the two Committeos mot in joint scesion in New York, and aftor couferonce camo totho con- clusion that a_closer union was desitable, aud thoy discovered no renson why it should not bo brau?m about. They belioved, bowever, it should not be pressod to the conclusion, but should take place by the general consent of oach Church, Thoy wersunpropared torocommend suy schiomo of union, aud roforred the watter to the Synod to judge of the proprioty of con- tinuing the aubject snothor yoar, The report wee accopiod Jn accordaunce with a provious agreomont. Dr, A, B. Yormilye, of the Reformad Church, was granted tha floor. Tho topls of his speec wau the sction of the Central Presbytory of Ponnsylvania in absorbing tho Third Reformed Chureh of Philadelphia, Tho church, ho sald, had no means of being heard in the General Assembly oxcopt by its ambassedor, and that was tho reason he was prosout. Ife was herein 1866, whon tho two bodies of tho Proubyterian Cliurch contemplated wuion, which was aftorvard accomplisbod, and thoo, with hoatty palpitating with & feoling of unio, thoy looked toward the Roformed Church, aud sent & brother to consultwith them, one whose lips ned boen toucked with somotbiug of tho Orphiesn fire, 6nd invited them futo tholr spacious pasture. Then come an- other invitation from tho Bouth, aud betwoon the friction of both they caught fire. They woro like the givl who Lad ba{f-a-dozon lov- evs at hor feot nt ono time, and did not know which ono she wanted to marry, but folb that, with the permission of mamma, ‘sl woula mur- ry all of thom. It was nftor this, however, that nn inoident occurrod whioli. did not have the color of the true bluo, and lod to the pou- sago of & resolution by the Bynod, con- domning tho uction of the _Central Tresvylery of Thiladolphia in rovelving the T'hird Reformed Chureh, and suthoriziug their delegates to call tho attention of the Gen- oral Aegombly to the facis in the case, which wero that on Juno 4, last year, o congrogational meoting was hold In'tho Third Hoformod Churel and on tho 10th tho Central Presbytery rocolved that Church in, and united it with, tho Westorn Proubyterian Church of Philadelphis, Horo was the creation of an n.uomallyl in churoh mat- ters, for what became of the' legsl rights of tha pastor of the church just recotved ? Tho whole Presbytery luuiuted on his right, for no church had & right, without leavo of its Presby- tery, to join anothor. ‘Che assumnod aotion of & Congregailoual mecting wo not enough, Prop- erty righta were too much Ifinured in this caso, Boildes, it wau sugravatad by tho rocoption of Dr, Wedsworth, the pastor of the church aftpr- wurdg, The cass demanded n dooclaration of the principles involved, The apoaker closod Dby likouing tho Prosbyterian OhurcE to the rain- bow, which, tho one Tefloctiug all oreeds, the other all colors, The Nev, J. J.
