The Synod of Kentuckez

Met in the Presbyterian church in Paducah
KY, October s, at I! p. NJ. Rev. f. Forman, o
Uynthana, KY, preached the opening sermon
from Rom. xi: sc.
Fifteen ministers answered to their names, anC
six churches appeared by elders. The very small
attendance was caused by several circumstances. -
One is the great distance Of Paducah from the
central part Of the State another, the fears excited
by the presence of yellow fever in Memphis and
the dread that it might reach Paducah; and an
other reason was the amount of travelling the mem.
bers of Synod have had to do to attend the meet
ings Of the Alumni Association of Central Univer.
sity.
In the absence of the stated Clerk, the Rev. j. V
Logan, the Rev. William Dinwiddie was elected to
fill his seat temporarily The Rev. D. L. Young,
of Nichoasvile, was elected Moderator and the
Rev. j. K Hitner, Of TayIorsve, temporary Clerk.
Rev. DIR. j. Leighton Wilson addressed the Syn
cd upon the subject of Foreign Missions. After a
review of our Mission Stations he said the demands
of this cause this year will not exceed 500 000.-
As our church membership is vergiDg towards one
hundred thousand members, it requires an aver.
age contribution OF 90 cents a member to supply
these wants.
He then went on to state "Uhat Keatuckey has
done" The Synod gave So, 329. IS an average of
20 cents a member. This does not include the
contributions Of the Sunday Schools. These would
raise the average to 80 cents. In the Presbyteres
of Ebenezer, Louisville and Muhlenburg the Sun
day School children gave more than their elders
10 Central Ohio and Paducah Presbyteries the
children do nearly as much as the churches
Some of the largest and wealthiest churches in
the Synod did not contribute to the Foreign Mis-
sion work in the last financial year. Out of the
one hundred and thirty five churches, only forty
six gave anything in the last financial year.
There is no Improvement this year. In the
months between April to September, only thirty
four contributed.
In the number Of her foreign missionaries, the
Synod OF Kentucky is next to the largest Synod
Virginia has nine representatives, Kentucky has
five two in South America and three in the China
missionary force. The contributions of the Synod
would not support even our Kentucky missionaries

Some of our readers may remember that year
or two ago, DR.. Tying, of New York, was severely
censured by Bishop Potter for preaching, upon
invitation, in Methodist church in New Bruins
wick, N, j., without permission from the Episco-
pal minister in that place, and another Episcopal
minister was rebuked by Bishop Clarke, OF Rhode
Island, for preaching under similar circumstances
in q Baptist church. We are now likely to have
the question tested, and in an imposing form,
whether the Episcopal Church is by law as well as
by custom so completely severed from all other
evangelical communons, that it is a deep and ruin
Gus ofense for her ministers to take part with
them in an ordinance so prominently designed as
the one in which the followers of Christ should re-
cognze one another, that it is called 1.-THE Com
munion." Church troubles are not matters to be
rejOiced in for their own sake But, like personal
affections, though not for the present joyous but
grievous, yet afterwards they work out the peace
able fruits of righteousness to them that are exer-
cised thereby" We trust that the Episcopal
Church will be forced to take its position definitely
on this question, and that it will be clearly under
stood by all whether its clergy are under CALLING
bondage, or under that Christian liberty wherewith
Christ has made his people free.

Missions of the Reformed Church
THE JAPAN MISSION.

The church at Yokohama is organized as the
Church of our Lord Jesus Christ in Japan. -
The membership has come from the Reformed
Presbyterian, Congregational, and Episcopal mis-
slons, and from the pupils Of the Woman s Mis-
sionary Union The church is growing. On the
9th OF September, Rev. j. H. Ballagh wrote at
Yokohama:
TO day we held the fall meeting of the native
church, and much important business was transac-
ted. Rev. 3. H. Brown, d. d. was In the chair'
and Rev. Messrs. Thompson, Miller and Looms,
OF the Presbyterian Board, with myself were pre-
sent. The chief business of the meeting was the
request of the first elder and several of the church
members, resident in Yedo, to be set off as the
church of Christ in Yedo week from next Sab
bath. The request was granted. They take our
constitution and are to meet, by their representa-
tlVes IN TALL and spring sessions, at what VIII De
hereafter our classical meetings.
The other elder read an able address on the
subject OF founding theological school, and the
crying necessity of speedily raising up native
ministry. The bretheren and the missionaries
looked to me to undertake this work. replied,
1t is just what | have been doing to the best Of
my ability for one and half years past but fee
that there ought to be several teachers associated
in the work urged that Dr. Brown be called
to this special work. The material is here; the
younger brethren are begging for this instruction
that they may go forth and reap the ripening har
vest.

Congress has decreed the following: The Church

make laws establishing or prohibiting any religion;
matrimony is to be civil contract religious in
situations cannot possess property; simple pro-
mise to speak the truth, complying with obliga-
tons contracted, with penalties in case of viola

is obliged to give his or her services without Just
compensation no contract is to be permitted which
aims at the sacrifice of the liberty of man in the
matter of work, education, and religious vows

Professor f. W. Fiske, speaking of the Robert

Rev. j. j. Kennedy, in charge Of New Hop

writes as follows, and his letter deserves to be vel
pondered by all our brethren
Il have thought several times I would write
you about the good work of Gods Spirit that il

ago only two male members of the church observed
family worship and only half of this number would
pray IN public
{" | invited all the male members of the church
to meet with me in the Session House, which they
did, and | urged them to the observance of family
worship that very highland they promised they
would try" They have tried and have succeeded.
And i'll the session house every Sabbath they meet
and have a prayer meeting conducted by themselves
office bearers and private members
Thus | acted and Goi has given them the
spirit of prayer. The members of the church
have been by these exercises greatly revived and
my own heart has been greatly rejOiced There
have also been some additions to the church
The result of this effort is instead of two in
each congregation observing family worship nearly
every male member is now in the ranks. Instead
of only one in each congregation leading in the
social prayer meeting, nearly all have been heard
and the others will be.

facts and you can do what you think proper with

Sustentation.- following action was taken
Whereas, 1t seems impracticable longer to
carry on our scheme OF Sustentation as SynOdical
scheme, and yet the ends proposed in that scheme
seem to be Just as important and vital to the
churches prosperity as ever. And
Whereas, The responsibility for the failure OF
the scheme lies with the Presbyteries, therefore
ResOlUed, That the Synod earnestly recommends
to all the Presbyteres within its bounds to take
up the work OF Sustentation with renewed vigol
and zeal, to the end that each minister of oul
body who devotes his whole time to his work may
receive a salary of at least 81 600 year, and tina
besides, liberal contribution may be sent from
