putting the minds Of men in a state unfa-

Holy Spirit, deem it proper and season
able, in view ofthe fact that our country
is now engaged in war with neighbor-

ed, has been unusually sanguinary and
disastrous, to express their solemn con.
victions in the following resolutions:
Resolved, That the Synod regard this
war both as an exhibition OF human wick

hand Of God, which should lead the
Church of Christ to great scarchings of
heart, to deep humiliation and prostra-
tion Of spirit. and to earnest supplication
before the Throne of Mercy

andall other appropriate means, to inn
press the minds OF men with sense Of
the sinfulness and the evils of War, and
especially of the existing war with Mexi-
