Dr RvTHuSE said that he hoped Mr.. Butler would
not retire He thanked the President for the appro-
prateues of the language he had used and he moved
he amendment of a Committee to draw up resolu-
ops expressive of the of this Synod toward the
North Chassis of North Carolina The motion was
carried
Tie Rev. JAMES CONPToS of the Chassis of Albany
said that he would like have the Committee state in
their report that though the General Synod had Glasses
in Indiana and Illinois, yet that their distance precuded
us from incorporating into the body the Chassis of
North Carolina.
ID. D., VIM. J. Il. Taylor, A. K. Van Giesen and
Elder j. Voorhees, and F. A. Morrell Committee in
accordance with DR.. Bethunes motion.
Ii was suggested that DIR. Howe be added to the
Committee.
Dr. How said that he must be excused from any
participation in the action of that Committee. His
heart and soul were with these Southern brethren
The Rev. Dr. BErHUSE then presented and read
the report of the Committees Education; the topic
nresented by this report the education OF young
men for the ministry, and great stress laid upon
the small provision made by the Church for these
Young men, and urged the adoption of measures that
would enable them 10 pursue their studies without
benc incumbered by debt and TO free their minds from
anxiety as to what - they should eat and what they
should drink, and wherewithal they should be
" clothed"
During the reading of this report the Synod adj
journed.
The Synod convened at o'clock and proceeded to
business The reading of the report of the Committee
on Education was resumed. Inc committee report
fayoraby on the project of building Theological Hall
i'm order TO accommodate the students OF the Seminary
upon the grounds of inconvenience and necesslty the
Inter arising from the increased expenses OF living
which might be avoided by the students boarding In
common the report states that the Church is suffering
in its ministry because of the fact that numbers OF
young men who have desired to enter the ministry OF
the Dutch Church, have been compelled to enter the
institutions of other churches because OF their liability
TO meet the expenses TO which they are necessarily
subjected in New-Brunswlck.
Accompanying the report a series of resolutions
of the following import:
l. Directing Of Synod refund the Board Of
Education Geo. which taken for the support Of the ol
land Academy.
at Brunswick be escnded far respects those who par-
sue their stuaies at the Holland Academy.
g. That Theological Hall be established.
On n motion TO address the resolution Mr.. JERE-
yIAu gave the reasons which induced the Consstoy of
the Collegiate Churches in New York TO recede from
their original proposition to give $50 900 for the cree
ton of such hall they doubted the propnety OF
erecting such building for the objects contemplated,
and instead of the original proposition, they agree TO
paw the sum of 81 500 per annum Tor the benent OF
INDECENT Students he said the Consistory had come to
Al af.,at.. utfa
much inquiry concerning the proprety and advant-
ages of the course they have determined TO pursue.
The Rev. WIN. j. X. TAYLOR took the floor and
proceeded to discuss the proprey OF the erection Of
Theological Hail. he adduced written evidence of the
fact that seventeen young men studying at other
semineTics because of the expense of living In New
Brunswick, beside Others who contemplate leaving
our Seminary for the cause and denied that the
idea of such halls obsolete; and he believed that
the question was of vital Importance TO the very ex-
sience of the Theological Seminary and if the COnss
tory of the Collegiate Churches in New-York cannot
be induced to revoke their decision then the churches
should take the project in their hands and he
doubted not the object would be obtained.
The question of the adoption of the resolution was
further discussed by the Rev. Mr.. HUBERT; he hoped
for the interest of the church that this subject might
receive the favorable consideration of the synod:
The Rev. DIR. BETHUSE decidedly in favor of
the resolution unless better plan should be suggested
as a substitute, and in appeal TO the Synod earnest
" urged the adoption of the resolutions. The ques-
tion then put upon the adoption of the resolution
and carried unanimously.
The resolutions were then read and adopted request
ing the New-York Consstory to reconsider their
action and bestow the of SOS 900 for the erection
OF the Hail. when the Synod adjourned.
