result? Are the decisions thus made-the
government thus exercised, the voice of the
whole Church within the limits of that body !?
Surely this is serious drawback.
g. But where is there at present remedy !?
With the accession soon to be made of the
Presbytery Of the PatapSeo our territory will
stretch from Baltimore to Tennessee, and from
the Atlantic to the Ohio, distance either
way of not less than four hundred miles, the
dimensions of an Empire. Is it at all practi-
cable to assemble any thing like the whole
Synod, from a distance so great? Experience
has settled this question. The expense too,
as well as distance, has always been a serious
trouble to not few: that trouble is not d.
minished now, nor likely to be for a long time.
4. The body has become inconveniently
large The whole number Of ministers tin
Guiding the Patapsco Presbytery) is about $50;
and of churches 237. Suppose half to attend,
you have a Synod of 30 ministers probably
100 elders.

liancy of rouge and lilly-white, with the great
and peculiar advantages of perfect harmlessness.

liges me to use, that consider it perfect bene-
faction to find a preparation which gives the ne
cessary whiteness to the skin and leaves the skin
cool and smooth.
