mote the spread OF this excellent and learned
work
The President of one OF our Oldest Colleges
says: Judge Thompson is the deepest thinker

inal 1t will more the waters"
A learned divine speaking to brother min
istcr said 1T is a vast system of thought
What wondrous visions OF nature and life he
must have had, 1t is strange that lived so
long in the same town with such man, and
knew him only in his outward relations as
judge and politician. His system explains ana
corrects many things heretofore seemingly in
contradiction
Chief Justice L., after reading a synopsis Of
the work, sends 'many gratuiations to the
author, and earnest wishes for;his success

branches of the Presbyterian Church.
as suggested by the Presbyteries Of
I4eaVenN0Eth and elsewhere recon-
mendinQ the following tionss
= First This Assembly expresses
its ffaternai affection for the other
branch of the Presbyterian Church,
and its earnest desire for reunion at
the earliest time consistent with agree
ment In doctrine, order and policy, on
the basis of our common standard and
faith, and the presence of mutual con-
fidence and love, which are so sneces-s
sary to a happy Union, and to the per-
manent peace and prosperity of the
united church. a,.-t gsf
Second-That it be recommended
to all Churches and Church Commit
tees, and to all our ministers, ruling
Elders and communicates, to cherish
fraternal feelings, to cultivate Chris
tian intercourse in the worship of
God and in the promotion Of the
cause Of Christ, and to avoid all need
less controversies and contentious.
!" Third-That Committee of nine
ministers and six ruling Elders be ap-
pointed, provided that similar COM
mittee shall be appointed by the other
Assembly now in session it this city,
for the purpose of comforting in regard
to the desirableness and practicability
of a reunion, and if, after conference!
and inquiry, such reunion shall seem
to be desirable and practicable, to
suggest suitable measures for its ac-
complishment, and report to the next
General Assembly
DR.. Van Dyke moved an amend
ment to include negotiations. for re-
union with the $50 Churches in the
Southern States. He made speech
in support of the motion, and said it
was outrageous to throw open the
doors of the Church so widely with
out lifting his voice in behalf of
those unfortunate brethren. This
amendment was laid on the table, and
the report of the Committee adopted.
Dir. Van Dyke gave notice Of protest
against the vote just taken.
