and always especially guarded by the Presby-
teries.
We do not mean to reflect upon brethren
and church organizations that have fallen into
this practice, any farther than the actual state
of the case demands. Some instances arise
from the low views entertained of constitution
al forms and requirements. Others are more
culpable, the people desiring to reach the bind
ing, obligations of regular passionate, or the
minister looking for some more eligible posi-
ton, keeps himself free from constitutional en-
tangements. And yet others, and we trust
most OF our ministers who permit themselves
to occupy this anomalous and uncomfortable
position, do so from conscientious motives
Not being able to give themselves wholly to
the ministry they are not willing to assume the
single responsibilities of pastor. Whatever
may be the cause however, we believe the re
lation is one which 'tends to disorder and in
jury in many ways" and therefore should be
supplanted by the Presbyteries with regular
pastorates. NJ.

Minute OF the Presbytery of East Hano-
yer in the case of Rev. T. B. Maurv.

At an adjourned meeting of Presbytery in
the city Of Richmond on the 10th inst, the
following paper was adopted
A letter from the Rev. 7. B. Maury was
laid before this Presbytery at its session in
Petersburg, in which he declares that he "can
discover in none of the existing churches any
hope for an earnest advancement of and con-
test for'the faith once delivered to the saints"
and again he says, sit is plain that instead of
fastening on the triumphs of the gospel, the
present Protestant churches must hinder man s
salvation, and delay the Lord second coming,
and hence that to them applies the command
of Scripture to Timothy, From such withdraw
thyselfT and once more, q am also unable
to see how can longer embarrass my ministry
by remaining where l am - and he therefore
concludes, L am forced to ask the Presbytery
soon to convene at Petersburg to dissolve my
relations with it. ="
In consequence of these declarations, Mr..
Maury was cited to appear before Presbytery,
as the most suitable way of attaining the end
indicated in his letter. But inasmuch, as this
course is complained of by Mr.. Maury, as SUBJ
jecting him to expense which he was not able
to BEAR and as being in his judgment exceed
ingly harsh and unjust, and since there are no
charges against him affecting his moral char
acter. it is deemed advisable that said citation
be recalled.
Presbytery being satisfied from the expires.
sions already quoted, as well as from the whole
tenor of his letter, that it is his fixed purpose
not to exercise his ministry in church which
he regards as apostate, therefore,
"Resolved, That the name of Rev. T. B.
Maury be struck from the roll Of this Presboy
terry, and that under this act, or authority
and responsibility in relation to his ministerial
office are hereby terminated.
1t is further ordered that the Stated CLERK
furnish Mr.. Maury with copy Of this paper
and that it be published in the Christian Oh
server and Central Presbyterian "

if the Assembly did not think best to separate
those agencies
Rev. R. L. Brock, delegate from the Synod
of Kentucky, was received and heard. Mr..
Breck addressed the Moderator and Assembly
in a few remarks expressive of the cordial
feeling of the Synod of Kentucky towards the
Southern Presbyterian Church, and explana-
tory of their present position.
The Moderator responded extending the
hearty welcome of the Assembly and the
Church it represented, to the delegate of the
Synod of Kentucky, and expressing assurance
of sympathy in the struggle through which it
is passing.
The Assembly heard through Mr.. Breck the
invitation of the Synod of Kentucky, that the
Assembly hold its next session in Louisville.
Mr.. Brock also conveyed to the Assembly the
invitations of the lst and I'd churches, Louis,

from date of subscription, will be cOnsid-
cred in advance.
2. -Four Dollars year, if payment is
not made within two months.

The offers for those obtaining subscribers
are as liberal as any paper can give, and 1t
is hoped they viii be embraced by many,
both for their own benefit and for ours.
Inasmueh as the volume does not close till

begin with that date, it would be without pro-

the new terms operative till that time, except
to new subscribers.
1t Unjust be distinctly understood that to those
who do not see proper to secure either for
themselves or for US the benefit of payment az

too late, ask that a just rule should be In

"Sinews of War"

Our Church 1.-THE Presbyterian has lately
been informed, that fire of the young men, re-
Gently connected with Union Seminary, have
expressed willingness, to enter into the SER
vice of our Foreign Missionary Committee. In
deed, it is understood, that they only wait for
the requisite funds to be raised, to defray their
necessary expenses; and it has been officially
announced that a contribution of Twenty-Five
cents from each member of our Church, would
supply these means.
Few announcements have been made, which
gave more hopeful signs of the improved and
more healthy condition of our Church than
the intelligence that our young ministers are
looking to the foreign field. The history Of
the Church we think, will show that spiritual
blessings will descend on the people of God,
in the home field, when they feel the force Of
the Divine commission, to "go into all the
world" and preach the gospel. The word OF
God does not divide fields of Christian labor
into Domestic and Foreign Missions. The
reflex benefits and blessings then, to the
churches at home, should excite grateful SEN
timents to God, that He has led these young
men to say, Here are we, ready to go, if the
Church will send u.s."
1t may be then a crisis in the history OF the
Southern Presbyterian Church. Should its
members refuse to supply the necessary means
for the support of these young missionaries,
God may withhold from us the hoped fol
blessings. Our Churches, at home, may Ian
guish if we refuse to listen to the call, now
uttered in our hearing, or neglect this oppor-
tunity of denying ourselves and providing the
"Sinews," for the aggressive warfare on the
strong-holds of Satan, in which our young
brethren wish to engage.
1t is lamentaby true, that many of our
members feel but little, if any, interest in the
cause of Foreign Missions, and that many do
not inform themselves of the needs of our
Board. There are therefore many, who will
not pay the twenty five cents called for. But
how small demand is this upon u.s. Deny
| ing ourselves very few luxuries, and very
small diminution Of our expenditures will &C
complsh the desired results.
| Let pastors "keep before the people" thi
important matter. Let our people be instruct
ed, in regard to duty on this subject. Let u
all feel, that this special cali imposes an in
tensely personal responsibility on us all.

BALTIMORE, May 22d, 1868.
MEETING OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
No one who has ever been present at a gen.
eral eonvocation of one of our ecclesiastical
bodies, could fail to be deeply interested in the
outpouring of feeling which attends the COM
ing together of so many brethren of one heart
in one place. This feeling becomes much
stronger from the fact that many dear friends
meet who have been long separated, and where
often neither expected to meet the other at
such a place, and now feel that it is probably
for the last time.
The Committee on Commissions, consisting
of the Stated and Permanent Clerks of our
General Assembly, according to the old Gus
tom, met on the evening of the Goth instant,
1.-THE day before the General Assembly con-
vened, for the purpose of enrolling Commits
sioners to that body. This is commonly in the
Lecture-roOm of the church, and the scene
presented is one of the most interesting illus
t-ations of what has just been remarked, that
can be any where found. 1t is "Presbyte-
rian Reunion in the best sense of the word
1t is worth while to travel long distance to
witness such sight, as we beheld in the base
ment of Dr. BullOcks church in this city, on
Wednesday night, Goth instant where the
number of delegates presenting commissions
was unusually large And when we met the
next morning at 9 o'clock, by which time many
Others had come In, it was soon found that,
contrary to expectation, this Assembly would
be one of the fullest yet held.
At the hour of IL o'clock, the spacious
church was filed in every part. In the devO-
tional exercises the Moderator, Rev. DR.. Moore,
of Richmond, was assisted by Drs. Waddel
and Stratton. As the sermon of DR.. Moore
will be found in full in the same Central Pres
5yteriaa which contains these notes, need
say nothing in its commentator, except that
it was listened to with the most fixed atten-
ton, that the impression was evidently Of the
best kind, and that expressions Of qualification
were heard on all sides when the services were
ended. Let it be hoped that the usefulness Of
so good discussion of one of the most timely
and important subjects that could have been
selected, will not end with the occasion that
called it forth.
Our new Moderator has long been well
known to our Church, son of that apostle of
Education in the South, the late venerable
Moses Waddel, D. D., Of South Carolina and
Georgia, and himself an eminent teacher, as
well as preacher, and now occupying one of
the most important positions of usefulness as
Chancellor of the University of Mississippi.
No worthier man could have been found among
the many brethren whose service and influence
would have impaired dignity to this Office of
honor.
In looking over the roll to-day 1 find that
we have fifty ministers and forty-four elders
present-in all ninety-four. This is one of the

"One army of the living God
At his command we bow,
Part of the host have crossed the hoou'
And part are crossing now.
Soon we too shall come to the margin
when the dav is done, but we shrink not from
the deep waters, for 'we shall all meet

our hearts, all meet on the " strong eter-

Then when our hearts grow weary let us
be eheered by this grand thought so often
thus used in the Holy Scriptures, and NIX our
gaze on t" the city that hath foundations"
and sing as we go up,
