The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1865-09-28

Reu Stuart Robinson, DD-The follow
ing action touching Rev. Stuart Robinson,
D D., was unanimously adopted by Louis
vile Presbytery
ResoIved, That this Presbytery has OBJ
served with deep concern the attempt to
injure the character and destroy the influence
of Rev. Stuart Robinson, member of this
Presbytery, on the part of mistaken or mali
cious men, by suggesting and circulating
insinuations of guilty knowledge on his
part Of certain plots against the Government
and people Of the United States; and having
the clearest reason for believing all such in
situations utterly false, this Presbytery feels
it due to the Rev. Stuart Robinson to express
thus publicly its unchanged confidence in his
Christian character and ministerial standing,
believing firmly these shameful and injurious
insinuationS will ultimate in the dishOnor of
all who make them, receive or repeat them.
This Presbytery would also express the
hope that Mr.. Robinson may soon see his
way clear to return to the people of his charge,
and preach to them that gospel which has so
often comforted their hearts as it fell from
his lips.
Second Church, Louisville, Ky.-A Da-
wilson and others appealed to the Presbytery

the Session of said Church in proceeding to
ordain and install those two gentlemen. Pres

Ministers IN Missouri Concerning minis
tiers and Churches in Missouri, the Presbytery
of Louisville adopted the following action,
viz:
Reso1ced, That this Presbytery extend its
cordial Christian sympathy to those ministers
and Churches in the State of Missouri who
are now suffering for their faithful mainte-
nance of the liberty of the Church and the
crown rights of her King. And we will ex-
tend to them our aid by our prayers and in
any other way that may be proper, whilst
they are exposed to persecution for the name
of Christ
Resolved, That we recommend to our
Churches to take up special collections to be
appropriated to the relief of those ministers
who may be deprived of their support through
the action of the State or of the Board OF
Missions at Philadelphia; and that a com.
mittee be appointed, who shall take the over
sight of this business, and disburse the same
as they shall deem best, of which they shall
report to the Presbytery at its next stated
meeting.
