IN MIssoURI.-A year ago the General
Assembly reported four Prssbyteries, 4S
ministers, SO churches, 2,233 commune
cants. At meeting of the Synod, in
1857 o resolution Withdrawing from the
General Assembly was adopted II re.
manned an independent Synod during
two years. In 1851 and 1862 the ext
gencies of the war prevented the regu-
lar meetings from being held, the rebels
being in too great a force TO permit as.
sembling with safety. In 1864 meet
ing was held in. Eastern Kansas. In
1864 the Synod met in Northwest Mis-
souri,, at Savannah, and in 1865 the an
nual meeting was held in st. Louis.
This meeting was of unusual interest.
The minutes, (Assembly,) 1865, contain
the names of fourteen ministers active
| ly engaged in ministerial labor in Mis-
souri,. A number of Missionaries have
been stationed in different parts of the
State by the COMMITTEES, and others are
soon to be added. The Church shares
largely with other loyal Churches the
responsibility of thorough evangelizing

We think there is not a doubt but
that the Southern Dioceses will, one by
one, as they can by their representatives,
meet and act, resume their position in
the Church. The following, from the
Church Journal, indicates this very
clearly:
'We have heard from q number Of
Southern Bishops and CIergymen, and
all the information they give looks but
one way One says: Every Diocese
/ win be in union with the next General
Convention Others speak in the same
strain. A leading Clergyman of one of
the Gulf Dioceses.writes more fully: -
go Being a representative body, we
could do no more than refer the matter
back to the Diocesan Councils. But
the last General Council has been held.
and the whole Church will soor be in
connection with the General Convention.
Georgia sOiU act dtonce: and Mississsp-
pi, as soon as she can Conveniently caU
meeting of her Council, Bishop
Wilmer is decidedly IN favor Of re-
union, and aciU cali meeting of the
Diocesan Council as soon as relieved

doubt but that Alabama s0ould resume
her old ecclesiastical relations before
Christmas, were she free.'s-s--z-s---.--=s
"That will do. AS to the two remain

the Bishop of South Carolina, gthouah
preferring the other course, is willing to
yield. \ We heartily thank God
for what is done, and have no doubt as
to the rest" LAa4 A4A A@t4E1M Il
