at Mt. vernon last evening. Some
ten or twelve ministers and several

One of the chief matters of interest
to these two bodies will be the con-
sideration of the Report of the Joint
Committees Of the two bodies on the
subject of Reunion. Among the
questions of difference to be harmon
lied are the peculiar theological views
of the two Churches. which are better
understood by the preachers than the
people, We find some of the other
differences stated in the religious
papers as follows: 4aoTF
The rule adopted by the Old School
Assembly, making it imperative upon
Presbyteries to examine all who apply
for membership, no matter how long
they have been ordained, and been
distinguished for scholarship and
piety, and with regular certificates of
dismission and recommendation in
their hands. With the New School a
certificate of good standing is valid
throughout the whole Church. IS
Another difficulty referred to is in
reference to the Publication Boards
of the Church: /" Shall the Old School
theology be published, to the exclu-
sion Of the New, or the New to the
exclusion of the Old, or shall both be
published or both excluded2"
Again, the Theological Seminarics
will occasion another difficulty. Shall
they all be placed under the control
of the General Assembly, as is now
the case with the Old School, or be
controlled by close corporations?
Thenethe question Of Foreign Mis-
sions will be a, difficult one to settle
Shall all the Churches be expected
or required to contribute to one For
eign sBoard?p
