South Alabama Presbvterv

Met at UnioutOwn, on the 18th ult, and con-
tnUed Its sessions till the night OF the 18th.
In addition to the usual routine of business, the
PTesbytery spent good deal Of time IN discussing
the action of the Assembly in answer to an Over
ture from Ministers Of the PreSbytery OF South
Alabama, asking the Assembly to adopt some
plan whereby PreSbytereS may be authorized TO
license as lay preachers or exhorters such persons
as may be found qualified In mind and heart to IN
Struct and edify the churches, without requiring
of them that course Of literary and theological
education which is required TOR our regular minis
terS. The Committee commend the following
answer, which was unanimously adopted by the
Assembly:
That the Assembly expresses its appreciation
OF PreSbyterieS granting permission to persons OF
suitable gifts to hold meetings and speak the word
of exhOrtatOu in churches In their respective
bounds, with the consent of the sessions where
such exist, aud also in destitute neighbOrhOOdS
such persons being required to abstain from as
suming the proper function of the ministry, and
being held subject to the control of PreSbytery in
this matter.
The question was, Do we as a Presbytery APP
prove of thu plan? aud viii We try its practical
working? Tie discussion was solemn, earnest and
thorough. We have buried talents enough of
mind, heart and treasure In our church TO do a
great work for our Master. If Christ calls men
into His Church. it is to work for Him everywhere
and in every practicable way, as long as they may
live. The whole church needs a reconstruction,
such Divine influence as will enable Us TO bring
all the tithes into the stOrehouSe Of God Then
may We hope to have such blessing ppOn our
churches as We have never seen before. This, We
think is a move 10 the right direction Ii will en-.
able us to keep our dying churches alive, and to have
religious services in destitute neighbOrhOOdS. 1t
may be that some unworthy men will be brought
forward. But are there none such in the ministry
and in all branches of the church? Ii will be
easier to recall the permission, than to rid the
church of unworthy members as no trial will be
necessary Permission was granted to twelve or
thirteen persons two of whom were freedmen who
were well recommended by the pastors or sessions,
to labor in this way.
Asa PreSbytery, we shall be greatly disappointed,
if this scheme does not bring great glory to our
blessed Master. May we not hope that other Pres
byteries will give the plan few trials before they
condemn it2
