The Presbyterian General Assembly.
In the General Assembly of the Presbyte.
riau Church, in session at Memphis, on
Monday, after the transaction of some rou-
tine business, the discussion Of the subject
of "The relations of che Church to the freed.
men" was resumed. Dr. Baird submitted
series of resolutions by way Of substitute
for the resolutions already before the As
sembly After discussion, the whole sub
ject, together with both series of resolutions,
was recommitted to the committee, with in
structions to report at the ensuing session.
At the evening session, the committee
reported the following, which were adopt
ed:
l. That this Assembly entertains for the
freed people the sincerest sentiments of
good will and affection that it earnestly
desires and prays for their salvation, and
would encourage the carrying out Of every
Legitimate means for the proportion of their
spiritual good. That this Assembly believe
the present condition of the colored race in
this country to be one of alarming spiritual
jeopardy, and that tits binding on Us as
Christians to do all that lies in our power
to save them from the calamities by which
they are threatened, and to confer on them
the rich blessings of the Gospel.
2. That it be recommended to all minis
ters and churches to exert themselves to the
extent of their ability to continue to give
the Gospel to these people; to church ses-
sions to urge upon parents among them of
presenting their children for baptism, and
of bringing them up in the nurture and ad-
monition of the Lord and especially to
pastors, evangelists and missionaries, to de-
vote portion of their labors to the promo.
tion of the salvation of the freed people.
8. That in the judgment of the Assem-,
bly,, it is highly inexpedient that there
should be an ecclesiastical separation of the
white aud colored races that such meas
ure would threaten evil to both races, and
to the colored, and that, there.
fore, it is desirable that every warrautable
effort should be made affectonately to dis
suade the freed people from eevering their
connection with our churches, and to retain
them with US as of DID, Should they de-
cline the fellowship of ordirances, and de.
sire separate organization, then our ses'
sions are authorized to organize them into
branch congregations. In such cases, the
Assembly recommends that such cougrega.
tions shall be allowed, under the sanction
of the sessions, to elect from among them
selves every year, such number Of superin-
tendents, or watchmen, as the sessions may
advise, who shall be charged with the over
sight of such congregations. These super
intendents shall report to the sessions for
their action all matters relating to the vel.
fare of said congregations.
T. Whenever Presbyteries may find it ne.
cessary to organize separate coored congre-
cations, they shall appoint commission of
elders, who shall discharge the functions
committed to the sessions in the preceding
resolution
g. That nothing in our standards or in
the Word of God prohibits the introduction
into the Gospel ministry of duly qualified
persons of any races, yet difficulties arise in
the general structure of society and from
providential causes, which may and should
restrain the application of causes in the
church of this abstract principle. Holding
this in view, the Assembly recommends
that whenever Session or Presbytery shall
find coored person who possesses suitable
qualifications, they are authorized to license
him to labor as an exhorter among the COL
ored people under the supervision of the
body appointing him.
6. That the Assembly recommends that
wherever it is practicable, Sabbath schools
for the benefit of the freed people, especial.
ly the young, Be established in connection
with our churches; and that the sessions
of the churches take these schools into
their charge and provide suitable teachers
for them.
7. That the heads of families are exhort-
ed to encourage the freed people in their
households to attend family and public
worship, and that they provide for them as
far as possible catechetica! instruction in
the doctrines and duties of the Gospel.
8. That the General Assembly earnestly
desires the intellectual aud moral improve
ment of the colored race, and hereby tenders
to all persons suitably qualified who may
labor in the work its hearty encouragement
and support.
The Assembly was afterwards dissolved
by the Moderator.
