!Si1uery Discussion in the General .4sssmbiv.-
| The following are the Resolutions the sdiect
OF Slavery which were submitted 10 the New
School Presbyterian Assembly by Rev. MIR. kel-
ogg, and which are yet under discussion:
Whereas, the subject of Slavery has engaged
the attention OF our churches TO n considerable
extent for the year past, and although the Genor.
al Assembly OF 1878 unanimously resolved that
we consider the voluntary enslaYing of one part
OF the human by another gross violation of
the most precious aud sacred rights of human ma
lure, as utterly inconsistent with the law of God
which requires us 10 "Ioye our neighbor as our
selves and as totally rreconceable with the spr-
II and precepts OF the Gospel OF Christ, which re-
qures that "alI things whatsoever We would thut
men should do to you, do you even SO to them"
yet nasuuch as different and discordnnt views
have since been expressed in relation 10 this nsli-
tuition as it exists in our country and to some ex
tent without our communion, il becomes proper
and important TO the purity, peace and prosperity
of our Church that the views of this Assembly
should be kindly and Distinctly expressed. There
fore,
ReSolUed, LIST, That we regard the enslaving and
holding in slavery of human beings, practised
III cur country, sin against God, violation Of
the rights of man, and an inversion of the divine
prerogative.
RESOLVED, %, That we affeclionaely and ear-
nestly urge upon the Ministers, Sessions fresbv-
terles aud Synods connected with this Assembly
that they treat this as all other sins of great mag
nitude, and by diligen kind and faithful appll-
cation OF the means which God has given them
by instruction, remonsrance, reproot aud effec-
i've discipline seek to purify this Church of this
great iniquity.

the following substitute:
| Whereas, there is IN this assembly great d.
versiy OF opinion, as TO the proper and best mode
oi action on the subject of slavery. And where
as, III such circumstances, any expression OF
inlent, would carry with 1t but little weight, as it
would be passed by small majority, and must
operate To produce alienation aud division. And
whereas, the assembly of 1910 with great una
iiiniIy, referred this whole subject TO the lower
judcatories, to take such order as in their judy
tnent might be adapted to remove the evil: there
fore Resolved, that the assembly do not think it
