mittees.
The Committee on Chapaincies appoint
ed two wears since, repnrtea the following
resolutions. which were accepted and adopt
ed
Ee,nlrrd 1t. That this Synod do hereby call
the attention OF al concerned. 10 the fact, 10y
th, belle we'd 10 be ncuntrosertihie that virtual
and real establishment ut ono denomination "t
Christians IN the Chaplaincy of our Government
Military Academy AT West Point. and of our Naval
Academy ~ Annapolis, has somehow grown up in
the clearcst contrayenIiou OF that Religious free
dom which is the equal right ot all.
R--olr,d End. That the extreme inequality now
existing in tho Chaplain service al the Army. viz:
sixteen Epseopal,an Chapains. two Methodist
Cnapiun., and ono Presbyterian Chaplaln and,
aso, the extreme inequality now existing IN The
CHAPLAIN service al the Navy, VIZ: ten Episcopal
Chaplaius, four Methodist Chaplains, four Prcshy
trrinn ChaplanS, ana one Baptist Chaplain. giving
10 a single denomination ol Christians, III each
ras. more Charuus than all the rest put together,
clearly grows cut Of the religious establishment III
the above named public Schuu!s. for the training :;
of the officers.
H..oi,,d. ..,d. That it is an erroneous idea.
wherever ii exists in the public service, that the
officers and their families are the sole spiritual
charge Of the Charlaims; but such charge eInbra-
c.., siso, equally, the priyates 81 the service.
E...!rcJ ih. Thst the rule established III the
University of Virginia that the Shapnins shall
b. in the hands of no one denomination Of Chris
slams. longer than given tcrm nt years IN sue
ces.ion. is the obvious and proper remedy for tho
present grievance in the Public SCHOOL,.
H,>,ir.d 5fi That il il the iuiubitable right of
