The General AssembIv-We have surrendered

The General Assembly. We have surrendered
large portion Of our paper to the proceedings Of
this body, believing that our ministers and elders
especially, will want full information upon the i'm
portant subjects presented, and that this know
ledge is also for the edifcation of our members
generally.
The Christian world will be surprised when the
reports are all published at the developments they
make of progress in every department of Chris
Ian enterprise.
The plain duty before our Church is obviously
to strive together with one heart and one mind to
build up our waste places, and as Providence di.
reefs, to send the pure Gospel to the nations
abroad. And every act of our Supreme Judica-
tory has an important bearing, should be carefully
pondered, and sacredly carried out.

Secretary of Sustentation; Rev. e. I. Baird, d.

Mr.. Hogshead-I must regret that the matter
of this resolution was presented yesterday in form
not acceptable to the Assembly. But there is an
evil to be remedied, land nearly one half of the
Assembly do believe so,) and it is well for us to
strive to remedy it. Suppose that many of our
brethren do not feel the evil will they not take the
testimony of others, that there is such an evil,
and ioin with us in an effort for its correction
The parties who say there is no such evil are like
the witnesses in favor of the Irishman who told
the court that if there were two witnesses who saw
him steal, he could bring forty who did not see
him. Let the paper be received and take such
direction as the Assembly thinks best.
The resolution looking to the questioning of the
representatives of churches on the subject OF sing
ing, is introduced because OF the general neglect
in Presbyteries to raise this question.

character. I have had no difficulty, for it is con.
