PRESBYTERIAN, %. SOUR read
ers will remember the decided stand
taken by the General Assembly at its
last meeting at st. Louis, againts the
disloyal members of the Church in
Kentucky. The question has been ag-
itating the churches of Louisville and
other places in a violent and not very
christian like manner. One of the
preachers of the Robinson party was
before the Judge of the Court for dis
turbanoe of the peace, and for disre
garding the rights of the session of
the Church. 1t seems inevitable that
the Presbyterian Church in Kentucky
will divide ON the question. One of
the Churches in Baltimore has with
drawn from the Assembly, but the
two other Churches will remain in the
connection, because they have no
where else to go except into the South
ern rebel organization. The Owens
boro, (Ky.) Monitor notices a meeting
of the Presbyterian Church of that
place last Saturday, to consider the
matter.
The present condition of the Church |
as affected by the action of the Gen
eral Assembly and the position of the
Louisville Presbytery was discussed
pretty thoroughly by Mr.. James Wier,
who is opposed to the action of the last
named body. The pastor of the church
Rev. DIR. Hopkins, in few words de-
fined his position in favor of the action
of the Louisville Presbytery. A pro-
test was offered by a respectable mi
nority of the church against the action
of their pastor. The whole discus
sion was characterized by christian
courtesy and gentlemanly demeanor
The congregation of the First Pres
byterian Church Of Indianapolis are
building new church edifce, the
estimated cost of which is $4,000.
The cornerstone was laid on the 23d
inst.
The Rev. Dr. Boynton preached
sermon in the Representatives Hall,
at Washington, on Sunday, upon
Gods Hand in our National Affairs
before an immense audience. He took
for his text the 23d verse of the 23d
chapter of Numbers:
Surely there is no enchantment against
Jacob. neither is there any division against
said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God
wrought?
