PRESBYTERIAN. SYNOD OF BALTIMORE
The Synod of Baltimore, in its session, at
Georgetown, on Saturday, had under consider
alton report Of the special committee upon
the subject Of the reunion of the Old and New
School Churches. The report is very voumin-
Gus, and closes by specifying five particulars
in which they regard the terms Of reunion as
proposed detective which are as follows:
'slst. On the doctrinal basis, the following
points oughtto be clearly guarded: The right
and duty of the church to insist that all her
ministers and elders shall receive and adopt
the confession of faith and catechisms, not for
substance of doctrine only, but in the sense in
which we are we'll known to receive them in
opposition to the denial of the imputation Of
the guilt of Adams first sin, OF of total depra
witty thence resulting as comprehensive, not Of
the will only, but of the whole moral nature,
or Of the full and proper vicarious satisfaction
of Christ to justice for His own people specii-
cally, and the justification of believers by the
imputatou of his righteousness.
sd The right and duty of Presbyterles to
satisfy themselves as to the sonndness OF faith
Of all ministers received by them ought to be
distinctly recognized as principle for which we
as church have always contended, and which
we believe fidelity 10 the truth requires US
still to maintain.
sd. No representative from churches not
presbyterially organized who have not been
ordained onght to be admitted us members of
any church court, it being contrary to the con
stitntion of the church~for any unOrdained men
to act az rulers 10 the house of God.
18th. The semlnares in which our ministers
are to be trained ought to be under the most
Immediate and responsible control of the courts
Of the Church, and we regard it as vital that
provision securing this should be inserted in
the basis of union.
18th. The board of publication ought opub~
lish the distinctive doctrines of our system,
and the joint committee ought if possible, to
specify in the terms of union such publications
as are to be dropped from the lists. y
