He spoke first of the conference with a com- mission from the Episcopal Church. He said that years ago the Episcopal Church spprosched the Presbyterian Church for union on the their idea to absorb this church, as they knew that the Presbyterians were as tenacious of their form of church government as they were. But they asked that they unite on a platform of the Scriptures, the creeds, the sacraments and the historic episcopacy. They do not ask Presbyterians to abandon their Westminster confession nor did Preabyteriaus ask them to abandon the thirty-nine articles. They are to keep thei liturgical form | and the Presbyterians their form of church worship. They do not stipu- inte any theory of the espiscopate, but simply the broad ides which includes’ the idea as recognized by the Presbyterian Church. ‘The Presbyterinns believe that the government of the church is an episcopate one of over- upon a church which, with all its changes, its faults and its variations from their view=, was a church of Jesus Christ. He moved that five munutes be given for this purpose. Dr. Hollitield seconded the motion and it was carried. Dr. Booth said that he was one of the oldest members in the chureh, He had fellowship with ministers o? other denominations, He had never had sweeter fellowship than with his brethren of the Episcopal Charch. While there was not in his blood a drop thas was not Pres- byterian, he dezounced as unchristian this attack on the Epireopal Church under guise of this report. Dr. Hollifield said he had not reflected upon the Christian character of the Episcopal Church or any of its members. Amotion made by amember to defer the matter was carried. ‘The Geary Act and the Missionaries. ‘The moderator introduced to the asscmbly Rey. Dr. Bryson, a representative from the southern assembly of the Presbyterian Church, the commissioners rising to their feet to receive him. ‘The moderator stated { Roberts, then exp lieved that the missionaries would prefer to Pay the extra expense for clerical hire in- curred by the board rather than to continue with quarterly payments.

Then checks are to be sent out. The letters, he raic, received by the board differed from those received in the ordinary course of & business from the fact that it ‘wes ueressary to give the statements made in the reports careful consideration. Rev. Dr. Johnson sugzested that the pay- ments might be made monthly and the reports quarter!: An amendment was proposed by Rev. Dr. Cunningham, providing that monthly payments be made in such cases where it was especially desired, and to continue the present system in all other cases.

If in the future their | work should come to junction it would then | be time to merge the committees or to dis- charge one of them Dr. Hollifieli and the Episcopal Church. Rev. Dr. Hollitield then took the floor. He said he thought the committee oa church unity | made a mistake when it proposed to shift the | discussion from the differences between the two grent eccleriastical bodies named to those | poiats in which they were in harmony. He was aware that the proporitions were made with the best intentions in view. He did not believe the unity hoped for could be secured by the means proposed. It was theso differences and not those points on which they were in accord that bad pro- duced their alieration. The causes of the alienation should first be removed. Theze differences were not of minor importance. They were of a serious character. They couid have no unity between these two great historic churches without removing them. Ministerial reciprocity, be said, would mean the removal of ono of ‘the rocks that prevent the flow of Christian unity. MINISTERIAL RECIPROCITY. He acknowledged the Christian character of the Protestant Episcopal Church and the great debt the world owed it, The first great obstacle the Episcopal Church of Presbyterian ordina- |to have found a fatal flaw in their Pertiett, made « statement in re-| title to be God’s ministry, namely, that nment of the commie- | they had not been ordained by their bishops. ‘The assembly, he said, eppropriated | He said they had last Sunday an instance which | and | showed how difficult the proposed unity would led for 200 delegates. | be.

Another obstacle was the Romish doctrines and practices of many and a constantly increasing number of Protestant Episcopal churches. Many of them were 80 high—or he should say so low—that a stranger visiting one of them might mistake one for » Homan Catholic Church, ecommending the rejecti of the overture was that at ment or this question it was not wise to move any amendment, ‘The recommendations of the committee were adopted. Several overtures relating to minor changes the books as eapiained by the chairman wero reported raversely and the recommenda- tion was adopted. Another overture suggesting tuat section 11 of the book be made clear and more explicit was reported vy the committee as being un- necessary and the assembly spproved the recommendation. Dr. Harsha called on Judge Wills to read the action of the committee on an overture, aa it was in his handwriting. This overture was in regard to deaconessec. and the committee rec- ommended that it be answered in the negative, ax the presbyteries bad ko recently been over: tured on the same subject. Action on the recommendation was deferred until the report of the comiaittee appointed to canvass the Te- plies of the presbyteries in regard to overtures on this subject. Inconcitsion, Dr. Harsha stated that the committee recommend in regard to several of the overtures a study of the book of discipline. Postponing Proposed Revisions. A farther report of Dr. Young from the eom- mittce on bills and overtures was made relative toa number of overture asking for abriefcreed in place of the confession and also for speeific changes in the confession. The committee con- cluded that the present time was not favor- abie to consider such matters, and that it would bo better to allow tho churca to rest for a ime. in seconding this resolution Rev. Dr. Booth of New York anid that be was a member of the committee on revision, and on account of the livergent views that weze developed he had reached the conciasion that the’ time bad not come for action, and he was in favor of allow- ing the church to rest in this particular for at least a year. HOME MISSIONS. Rev. Dr. Grabam, from the committee on home missions, submitted a report on various recommendations. ‘The proposition to pay the salaries of home missionaries monthly was re- ported adversely. As to the suggestion that the powers of the woman's executive committee be eniarged the committee recommended the reference to the board of home missions, At this poirt the moderator retired from the house in order to ccorapans the commitieo ap- pointed to call on the President in regard to the Chinese expulsion act, and the vice moder- ator, Dr. Koberts, took the chair, REDUCING PENSION PAYMENTS.
