RE-UNION OF THE SECESRION CHURCH.

This happy event was consummated on Friday, the
dth inst. in Bristo•strect Meetinz-house, the spot in
which, 73 years before, the sepsrati.m took place.
• The two Synods met in the morning of that day
' the General Asarciate Synod, in their Synod-horse,
'Nicholson-street, and the Associate §yno.l, in the
filer. Mr. Lothian's Meetinghouse, Portsburgh ; and
after having finished the business that had been sub-
mitted to them, severally, adjourned, conatitsted, to
Bristo-street, at half-past toelve o'clock, walking in
order to the place of meeting : firs', the Ministers,
then the Elders, Probationers for the Ministry, and
Students of Divinity. After the int% Synods were
seated in a part of the Meeting-bons, which I4J been
railed in fur their reception, ;and in alternate yews, so
that they were completely iuttrusitt2leil, the two Mo-
derators in the front of the pulpit, and the two Ckrks
at a little distance tan the right and left, the Senior
Moderator gave oat a psalm (di. 17-21.), in which
the Synods and whole attending Wink joined.
The Senior M nlerator (the Rev. Dr. Jamieson, of
Edinburgh, b.duuging to the General .Associate
Synod) then rose, and called on the Clerk of the Sy-
nod, whom he represented, to read their last Minute.
After the Clerk hail alone so, the Junior Moderator
(the Rev. Mr. Dal er, of Berwick, belonging to the
Associate Spits I) in li:,e manner called on the Clerk
of the Synod w' he represented, to read ilielr last
Minute. The Minutes read by the Clerks in succes-
sion were neatly in the same nords, and to the fol-
lowing effect:

"'I he General Associate Synod, haying at-coved
the basis of Union, and having by the good hand of
God upon them now finished all their own loisiness,
and all preparatory arrangements, their Synod, with
fervent gratitude to God f.ir hying led them dins far.
and in humble dependtmce on his grave to bless the
solemn and interesting s.rp which they are now ab•mt
to take, and to enable them to improve rise privileges
and discharge the duties which are about to devolve
upon them in consegnence of resolve, and here-
by record their resolution, forthwith to repair to the
appointed place, that they may milt,. with their bre-
thren of the other Synod., to be known by the name of
'The United Associate Synod of the Secession ('hutch,
composed of the Associate (commonly called Burgher)
Synod, and of the General Associate (commonly called
Anti-httegher) Synod,' that they may henceforth walk
with them in the fear of lied anti in the comfort of the
Holy Ghost, striving together for the faith of the
Gospel, for the parity of divine ordinances, and for
the enlargement of the Church of Christ."

The articles which form the basis of union were then
read, the whole members of both Synods standing.
After this was done, the senior Moderator stood up
and said, " I declare in the name of the lietieral As-
sociate Synod, whom I represent, that the Deneral
Associate Synod is henceforth one with the Associate
Synod ;" and the junior Moderator, in like manner rose
and raid, " I declare in the name of the Associate
Synod, whom I represent, that the Associate Synod is
henceforth one with the lieneral Associate Synod."
The two Moderators immediately gave one another the
right band of tel in which they were fillowed
by an the Ministers and Ehlers belonging to both
S
The United Associate Synod now railed the senior
minister present in the house to take the Chair and of-
ficiate as mo.ierator. Accordingly the Rev. Ihivid
I;reig, of Lockgelly, took the (*hair, gave out a psalm
(cxxxiii), and constituted the Court by prayer. Ile
was succeeded by the Her. Dr. Pringle, of Perth, ;toil
' the Km Dr. Hall, of Edinburgh, the two next in
seniority of the Ministers present. The former led
the devotions of the assembly by singing psalm xc.
13-17. and by prayer, anal the latter by reading the
17th chapter of John, singing psalm lxxii. 17-19,
and by prayer. After the devotional exercises were
finished by singing psalm cairn. 1-5, the roll of the
United Associate Synod was called by the former
clerk•, and busiaess adjourned till Tuesday at eleven
o'clock. .

The mnitittnk who witnessed this event, memorable
in the history of the Secession, w>s'inunense; but
notwithstanding the pressure of the rented eager to

indebted to the Magistrate, of Purtsburgh, who not
