crcdit was awarded to his statements and
cordiality extended TO him in every quar-,
ter. Mr.. Stuart thought more effort should
be used to collect funds Of the churches
for this cause. -,
DIR. Baird, in few words, explained his
idea of the system of agencies. lie was
decidedly opposed to the whole system.
The duty properly, in his estimation, be-
lopped to pastors Of the several churches.
If one secretary had to visit the 300
churches Of the southern assembly, the
| millennium would be here before he finish
| ed. The Presbyterian Church cannot be
moved by one man. Every pastor must do
his duty-cvery man must stand in his lot.
DIR. Baird said the other duties of his Of
fee as secretary, editor, etc., utterly pre-
cluded the practicability of any peripatetic
agency for collecting money.
Mr.. Stuart explained. lie desired, frst,
that kind of agency in which DR.. baird mao
been succcssful-a secretary TO 60 aroui,u
and move the pastors. Is this Church wide
awake when il gives the amount reported
to-day? DR.. Baird's success III the cues
of New Orleans, Mobile, and Memphis,
where he operated through the pastors so
successfully, proves what can be done.
With the exception Of the money thus OBJ
tanned, the amount given by our whole
Church is humiliating.
DIR. Read would say that there was not,
in his knowledge, q single man who could
have done what has been achieved by thls
Board but DR.. Baird.
The whole subject of the agency IN con-
nection with the Board was referred to
Messrs. Hogc, Fitzgerald, and Richardson.
Rev. Mr.. Berry, of Charlestown, pro-
posed that town as the next place OF meet
ing of the Synod. .r.., -.
Rev. Mr.. Ewing proposed Abingdon.
Rev. Mr.. Hopkins, pastor of the church
in Charlcstown, seconded the nomination
to hold il at that point.
A delegate from Winchester nominated
that city as the next place of meeting.
The roll of delegates was called, and
Charlestown selected as the place.
Rev. DR.. Brown made a report in regard
to the transfer of the Union Theological
Seminary to the General Assembly of the
PRESBYTERIAN Church of the South, and read
an overture of the Board of the Seminary
to the next meeting of the General Assem-
bly,, setting forth the terms npon which it
is proposed that the Synods of Virginia and
North Carolina, who now hold the Semi
nary, shall make the transfer.
He then moved the adoption of paper
acceding to the terms proposed by the
Board, so far as this Synod is concerned.
The management of the institution will be
substantially the same as that which now
governs it. The act OF transfer oil Jurls-
diction does not do away with any OF the
rules or regulations which now govern the
Seminary, or in any way affect them. This
transfer relates only to the management of
the institution, the proprietorship still re-
manning in the hands Of trustees, who will
represent the Church at large. DR.. Brown,
! in @ few words Of explanation OF the
scheme, earnestly recommended its adop-
ton as that under which the Seminary
would be capable of the greatest good, and
bringing out its fullest capacity for useful
ness.
Mr.. Shanks, from the Committee on Re-
cords, moved that the records OF West
Hanover Presbytcry be received and
adopted which was carried.
Unimportant changes were made IN the
standing committees.
On motion, the Synod adjourned to meet
at half-past 8 o'clock Tomorrow morning.

These delegates were met on the dli-
ferent routes by which they came to the
CITY, and conducted to the church, where
quarters were assigned them. Too much
praise cannot be awarded to the hospitali-
ties which mark the conduct of the mem
bers of this congregation in thus taking care
of the members of the Synod. / believe
that none of them will ever regret having
attended this meeting. Speaking for my
self, may say that, coming here perfect
stranger, | shall ever remember with q
