The Synod chose a. its next place Of meeting bv

quite a novety-a Presbyterian s.cnod in Congre.
gational Connecticut. The Con nuicn Services were
conducted Thursday sftenc on by the Moderator the
Rev. Drs Judd and Parker, and the Rev Mr. Aikman
The Synodlcal Prayer Meeting on Tuesday evening
very large. The prayers offered by the
Rev. stephenWhittat Ter, the Rev Dr. J. p. Nelson, and
the Rev. DR.. a. A. Wood: the addresses by the
Rev. Thos. 5. Fasting and the Rev. Dr. Stearnsi
and the Iarratve e the state Of religion was by the
| Rev. Charles f.. Linsley This narrative was brief
but to the point. From il we learn that the external
| affairs Of the Synods Churches quite prosperous
in very many respects; that, notwithstanding the
embarrassments of the past year, contributions to
religious objects have not been diminished and that
than 5000 persons have been added to the Com
murion Of the Churches during the year. The
rative also admitted the amentabe increase OF drink
ing customs in society, especially outside the circles
! inclnded in the dinerelt religious denominations.
Mr.. Hastingss address was handsome one, setting
forth the greatness Of the blessings received the dan
gers consequent and the responsibilities connected
| with them.
DR.. stearns drew beautiful picture or rather
ries Of beautiful pictures, showing what interest
Christians in Great Britain and Europe have taken in
the great revival in America. His Illustrations from
the churches in the Canton of Naud especially
! fine the more on account of the exceeding sim
pcity with which he described the manners Of that
SIMPLE and pious people.
The Rev. DIR. Cox, after the Communion services,
had leave to present the claims Of the "Ingham Uni
versitv celebrated seminary for young ladies', stu
aed at lie Roy, New-York. The founder of it is Miss
Marietta Ingham, who many years ago conceived the
idea Of founding seminary IN which the hearts bodies
and heads of young ladies might be thoroughly edu-
Gated at price within the reach Of those who cannot
pay the eIorbitant rates of fashionable schools The
fret thing she did to educate her sister the pres
ent Mrs. Stanto teaching principal OF the University,
| in the most complete manner. This she did ut Pts-
field, bearing the expenses herself. Having secured
this end the sisters removed TO Western New-iork,
where at last they succeeded in bringing this adnra
bic school into existence. The ladies, two years
since presented the valuable school buildings, &C.,
to the Synod Of Tennessee on certain conditions which
are very generous and DIR. Cox is seeking its en-
| dowment His remarks were quite IN keeping with
| his reputation in former times.
The qreat subject of this session ofthe Synod has been
the Education of Young Men for the Ministry. on
Thursday morning the Rev. Dr. T. A. Mills, the Sec
retary of the Assembly Committee on Education, spoke
for nearly hour on that cause, making one OF the
ablest and most admirable presentations of the SUBJ
ect have ever heard. His foundation idea Is, that
the Ministry ought to be the natural outgrowth of the
pety of the church. and not the artificial result OF mere
machinery. This idea he expanded and illustrated IN
fecitous manner, and his remarks were listened 10
| with profound attention.
In immediate connection with this came the resolC
| tons Of the Rev. DR.. A. d. Smith, that the Synod
| provide for an Educational Committee, to consist OF
three members each of the Presbyteries OF New
| York CITY 81 and ith and of Brooklyn and Newark,
and Of two from each Of the Presbyteries OF North
River, Hudson Long Island, Rockaway and Montroee.
This Committee is TO take IN hand the business oil ras
| ing and disbursing educational funds, examining the
qualifications of candidates to be aided, &C., &C Tins
is not designed to interfere with the arrangements al
ready made in the Pr.sbyteries of Newark and Rock
awev but only TO cover ground not now occupied.
| This subject elected most delightful scene of q
practical sort The assistance Of young men III the
Union Theological Seminary, by means OF temporary
scholarships, considered both by capital speeches
| al y
now Christian gentlemen in New-fork City who have
taken many Of these scholarshps-$lD each one has
TWENTY-FIVE another ten another four and others one
or two Many gentlemen IN the SYNOD, eithef
for themselves or their churches took one more
scholarships. The whole procedure was lively one
and will tell on the general cause.
In this connection let me add that the Kew. Theron
Baldwin, the amable and able Secretary Of tn. w..
crn Coege society," addressed tho Synod concerning
the claims of that Society, and showed what II had
done and what it is now attempting to DO Some forty
thousand dollars required to put the colleges east
of the Mississippi under the Societys care, on per-
nentfoong. His presentation OF the claims OF the
new colleges Of Oregon and California was very hne
The Synod cassed resolutions fully iIdorsns and CON-
mending the Society.
Thus very considerable portion Of the time OF
the Synod was occupied by this important object
The Committee on the Publication ., cause reported
by their Chairman the Rev. j. +. futile, that the
churches in New-York City and Brooklyn were de-
signing to raise s. 900 the present Autumn, and re-
commended that $4,000 be apportioned to the other
Presbytefles Of the Synod IN the following rao, VIZ
To the Presbytery of Newark. $500; Rockaway $3.50;
North River and Hudson $275; Montrose, sou, and
Lorg Island, 500. The report was adopted.
One good change made in resolving that the
Committee on the Religious Narrative be appointed
year before hand, in order TO allow the writer 10
gather up that history at his leisure This practice
was adopted by the Old-School Synod of New-York
some years since.
Upon the whole this session Of the Synod has been
| very interesting The people Of Orange have been
very hospable the weather delightful the devotional
exercises largely attended, aud OF highly interesting
| character. ! should add that the Rev. Robert k.
Booth Of Stamford and the Rev. Robert Aikman OF
Elizabeth City were appointed to write next years
narrative.
The Synod adjourned on Friday, about o'clock
u. m.
