Assembly concurring, for our ministers
to assist this people in organizing them
selves into Presby terian Churches, sepa-
rate from our Presbyteries, with the
understanding that they may look to us
for religious instruction, SC far as we can
furnish it, until God, in his providence,
shall raise up competent ministers of
