FOR THE CENTRAL PREsBYTERIAN.
Orange Presbytery.

At meeting of Orange Presbytery held at
Chapel Hill, North Carolina, October goth,
1867, the following minute was adopted, viz {:
"Whereas, Convention of Presbyterians
from all parts of the United States, has been
called to meet in the city of Philadelphia on
the first Wednesday of November, to consult
together on the subject of Christian Union,
Orange Presbytery does hereby request Rev.
A. D. Hepburn and any other ministers or
elders in good standing in this Presbytery,
who may be present in the city at the time,
to represent to that Convention and to all the
world that we desire to maintain Christian
fellowship with all Christians and more espe-
cialy with all true Constitutional Presbyte-
rians.
As this action has been greatly misunder-
stood by some persons, the Presbytery at its
meeting in Hillsboro, N. c., April 18th, 1868,
directed me to publish the following preamble
and resolution as explanatory of its own mean
ing:
Whereas, the action of Orange Presbytery
in requesting Prof A. d. Hepburn to repre-
sent to that Convention and to all the world
that we desire to maintain Christian fellow
ship with all Christians and more especially
with all true Constitutional Presbyterians,
has been misunderstood and by some has been
interpreted to express desire on the part of
Orange Presbytery for organic union with all
Christians bearing the Presbyterian name.
Therefore,
ResolUed, That the resolution. under which
r-.G uspDurn sictea, contemplate sucn
union, but merely expressed a desire on the
part of the Presbytery for union of spirit
and svm matthias among all raal helievers and
for union of organization and efforts, only
with those Presbyterians who adhere strictly
to our constitutional standards"
Southern Presbyterian Church papers will
confer a favor by publishing the foregoing
communication. JACOB DOLL,
Stated Clerk

Meeting of Presbyteries. Much space is
of necessity given to condensed accounts Of
these meetings now in progress, They furnish
important materials for understanding the true
condition of our Zion. From general sur
vey, conclusion is reached which is, upon
the whole, decidedly encouraging. Of course,
extending as our churches do over territory
so large, and encountering influences so diverse,
the accounts must be often as different. Trials
of various kinds are indeed resting heavily
upon very many-it may be said, in fact, upon
most. But tokens of the presence of him
who twas with his Church in the wilderness"
are also many, and are truly blessed. There
is river the stream whereof shall make glad
the city of God" '.God shall help her, and
that right early" Let us thank Him, take
courage and go forward with more zeal and
faith-one in counsel and affection-one in
our work, and one in our hope for time and
eternity

Prayer for the General Assembly.-In


1921 Minute was adopted by the General
Assembly, recommending to all the churches
under their care to observe the afternoon or
evening previous to the meeting of that body,
as a season Of special prayer to Almighty God
for his blessing; that he would, of his infinite
mercy, cOndescend to superintend and direct
all their measures, deliberations and decisions,
so that they may rebound to the promotion Of
his glory, and the general prosperity OF the
particular church to which we belong.
Before the next issue of this paper car
reach our subscribers generally, the meeting
of the Assembly will have taken place. Or
this account attention is now called to the
duty of special prayer in its behalf, as recon.
mended above. In addition to this, would il
not be an appropriate and ediyfying service
that our pastors on next Sabbath should re
mind their congregations of the near assem-
bling of the highest council of their Church
and invite them to join in public prayer fol-
the blessing of God upon it?

Interesting Items from Greece and Gre

Rev. DR.. Brown, Dear Sir,-You gratifed
the many friends of DR.. Kalopothakes and the
cause of Missions few weeks ago by the in
telligence published about his interesting work
in Greece.
Through the kindness of an accomplished
gentleman of this city, who knows DR.. X. well,
having soourned for some time in Athens, /
am enabled to send you some translations from
the Star Of the East
Besides the fact that these items are taken
from DR.. Kalopothakes' paper, they possess
an intrinsic interest on account Of the particu-
lar details which they convey; especially as to
the sufferings of the wretched Cretan Chris
tians.
