Tho Old School Assembly went to Pilot Knob upon an
excursion on Saturday last and consequently, were not
in session The New School brethren had matters their
own way They occupied the morning in adopting the 70
mort Of the Committee on Home Missions and that Of the
Publication Committee. In the afternoon number OF
very neresngspeech made on the subject OF the
reunion Of the two branches The Old School resolutions
were presented by Dr. Gurey and Judge Clark and were
presented By DR.. Gurey and Judge Clark and
received with great applause DR. Guriey made lengthy
address when be presented the resolutions In which he
took hopeful view Of the present position Of the two
branches. After reviewing the points OF agreement he
said:
alliance aud fellowship, than have felt before.
Az tho yC-r Of cOuntys peril we have rallied together
round That dear old flag and while tho conflict going
on, sc have sung and prayed together;
5siis sa 3 6s Co. a9 ne bone e he iisy,o,'
and with il Slavery, Oh, then we lifted hands and
hearts together unto God and said: Not unto u oh
Lord unto us but unto Thy name give glory, for Thy
mercy and Thy truths sake. Thy right hand and Thy
holy arm have gotten Thee the victory"
"Those are recent events and they have brought Us
into the bonds Of nearer and heatfet fellowship"
Judge CLARK followed, and in eloquent speech pic
tured tho greatness Of tho united Presbyterian Church
Io said IN the Of his remarks that allusion had
been made to the difficulties and the troubles which have
prevailed In land for the last four five years and they
have been Of degree before equaled in this
try They have created divisions they have caused sepa
rtons by deep and dark lnes-they have divided the
church. Whether these lines shall ever be obieraed
whether tho chasm shall close up whether they shall come
together again. and be afore time it is not for 10
say; but If the agtaons which have divided society have
wrought such results, why should they not come with
some healing results too II they have wrought dyi
sons why should they not bring egments togetherl II
70 me that this Is reasonable, and that II may be
reasonably expected.
Professor Hopkins the Moderator of the New School
Assembly, made an appropriate response lie hoped
the dy Of organic reunion may not be lar distant He
said further:
Tlere nav be difficulties in arranging details for such
unity bat those difficulties be obyiated. You will permit
ne TO y that VIII be very desirable that neither You on
your part on should dc discouraged there should
be want Of sympathy with this tendency iniiydual
cases in both Chnrehe We should be prepared to extend IN
diligence in such We should not think il hard II
there some indeed many Of own brethren who
noi prepared for this unoaton. There also be found
In other branch OF the Presbyterian Church who
not prepared for such union but le. Us have indulgence
