gar Woods, Temporary Clerk, 9ad Rev ! as.
Kerr, Permanent CLERK. In the evening a
,sermon was preached By Rev John Moitat,
on the subject which had been assigned him
.-"Minis eriaL CtnSecrOtiOR." The speaker
seemed to be imb9ed with the spirit of his
.theme-spoke with much earnestness and
true pathos and was listened to with most
profound attention by the entire audience.
Nor can We pass here without noticing ano-
ther part of these services, not ONLY on this
evening. but throughout the meetings of the
Synod, namely-the sing ing The music
was exquisitely fine. Indeed, we have rea-
son to be thankful that this part Of tue SER
tT!ce OF the sanctuary, is at present so eight
ifpl ,atiall times, Wednesday morning was
principally occupied with various minor bu
sipess items, which our space will aat per
NIT us to mention, nor would they, perhaps
be Of much interest 10 our readers. Alter
these, WellSvillc, Chic, was appointed as the
place of the next meeting, and Thursday,
Oct. IL, 1885, and 4 CLOCK, p. NJ, , as The
time.
A report from the Trustees Of Washington
College, which is under the care of the Sv-
nod, was read and referred 10 the Commit
tee on Synodical College. Also report
from the Committee, I'D interim, OF the same
Institution, which was also referred TO the
same Committee. An interesting report was
also read by Rev. Dr.. Beatty, in relation to
the sem-annual eYaminaieas of the students
of the College, approving Of the course and
faithfulness Of the Faculty, and highly COM
mending the students for the manner in
which they acquitted themselves. In the
early part of the afternoon besides various
regular business items, the cause of Foreign
Missions was presented by the report OF Il
special comalittee on the subject, in which
it was determined TO attempt some plan by
which all the churches within the bounds Of
the Synod, should have an opportunity IL
contribute Annually TO this Important Board
of the Church. The general subject Of be-
nevolence was subsequently, presented, es~
pecally, as connected with the Boards of
Missions, E,lucation and Publication, and
the churches were strongly recommended to
contribute more largely 10 all these benevo-
lent objects.
The Sl nod chen spent one hour and half
in religious exercises, which we've conducted
as follows:-P samody by Moderator PRAY =
er by Rev, Daniel Clarke Address by Il, v.
Richard Brown-Prayer by Rev. James
M;Kenna p Psalmod y--Addless by Rev.
Henry e. Cumiugo-D DoXolgy and BencIic-
ton. These exercises were exceedingly III
teresting and pleasant, and seemed 10 be
Tueh enjoyed by AL Tie memhers.
In the evening a sermon was preached bv
Rev. Alex. Swanry, on the suLj~ct which
had been previously asst sned him. This dis
course WAS well written and cvniceH cha$te
stJ le, a cultivated taste, an fiue dlscrimina-
tive powers. Ii the y v Ge .tlcman had ia
ken a little more pains in committing his ad-
dress, we are confident it would have had
snore. force and been better re2cIyed by his
hearers. He certainly had ar abandance ut
time to have done So After sermon, the
Synol was addressed by Rev DR.. McOnren,
OF the Synod of Pittsburah, ON the subject
Of Domestic Missions. By his stat, ment it
appears, that only an average of tdgenty
eight cents 10 each Communlcant has been
gwen TO this cause during the past year

The report Of the Committee on SynJdi-
cal College occupied the remaining part oi
the morning session This report Is too long
forinserlion in our columns. 1t was how
ever. perhaps the most able report presented
to the SynCd during lis sessions.
Rev Alex. SwaHey was appointed genrr-
al Financial Agent OF The Endowment Fund
of Washington College. The sermons of
Messrs Motfat and Swaney were requested
for publication in the Presbyterian AAyo
cate e;afer which dhearty and unanimous vote
of thanks wis offered to the citizens OF New
Lisbon :or the kind aud hlspilable manner
in which the members hal oern entertained.
The extreme zest with which this vote was
passed evnced he high qualification which
the members felt in the hospitality of our cit
izens, which is alike credilable to our town,
and gratifying to those who were nsrun"n-
tai in securing .hv meeting Of the Synod IN
this place.
The exercises were closed with singing
and prayer by Rev, Dr. Patterson, and ben
edction BY the Moderator. Thus ended the
meeting. IL was indeed deii -hlui one.
