FOURTH DAY-sATURDAY.
WINCHESTER, October q, 1874.
Rev. DR.. Pryor read the report OF the
committee which was appointed to consider
| the report of the Board Of Directors OF
Union Theological Seminary. The report
and resolutions, which were adopted, re-
cognized, with gratitude to God, the success
| of the Seminary. 1t commended the exam
pie of Mr.. Ii. &. Guthrie, of Augusta, who
has given q scholarship worth $1,000, the
interest of which is devoted TO the support
| of students. It also recommended that the
following directors, whose terms of service
expire at this time, be rGappointed-viz,
DR.. c. II. Read, Dr.. A. Martin, and Judge
F.N. Watkins.
DR.. Pryor said it would be necessary to
enlarge. by building or by renting, the ac'
combinations of the Seminary, which are
| insufficient for the number OF The students
| now prcscnt-1J. Some OF tie rooms are
large enough for only one, and none Of them
sufficient for three. Furniture, and parti-
cularly bed-clothes, are needed. lie stated
| the great advantage of the scholarships such
as the one alluded to, and of which there
were now thirteen or fourteen, and he hoped
| there would be more contributions of this
sort from friends OF the Seminary.
He gave an interesting account of the diff
| fculties OF students, ami the sacrifices and
| labors of some who are at the institution.
! He mentioned case in which, by 4 rcElarka-
BILE interpositon OF Providence, 4 young
man about to abandon his studies had been
enabled to continue at the Seminary in con-
sequence of an opportune donation of $1,000
received by one Of the professors for such
| cases. He also mentioned as adapted to
| excite gratitude 10 God that the vested
| funds of the institution had been so remark
| ably preserved among the general losses and
the pecuniary wreck of the war and subse-
qu"nt years.
Synod next heard DR.. B. NJ. Smith in be-
| half of the General Assembly's Committee
| of Education, lately removed from Rich
mond to Memphis. and Of which Rev. Dr..
| Waddell is the secretary. DR.. Smith repre-
sented DR.. WaddelI on this occasion. His
remarks were chiefly directed to the diff
1
their minority who felt themselves called to
the ministry, and the importance of that
| faithful guardianship aud counsel which
| ought to be bestowed upon this class by
Prcsbyterics. He closed hi> address with an
expression of confidence in DR.. Waddell
aud the committee at Memphis, and an
earnest appeal tor liberal support 10 be given
TO the committee.
Rev. Mr.. Hooper read the resolutions
offered by DR.. Smith, and followed them
with q few remarks enforcing the impor-
lance OF strict attention to very yourg can-
didites, who were so liable To be mistaken
as to their call, and, from various CAUSES, to
abandon their preparations before they were
completed. His PrrSbytcry (Monrgomery)
had spent S1,100 or 5000 on young men
who had at various stages resigned their
purpose to enter the ministry. II was graft
tying 10 see so many young men coming for
ward, but it was necessary to be cautious.
Mr.. Hooper said that Montgomery Presbv-
terry had undertaken 10 educate its own
young men and thus relieve the Central
Committee, and bad succeeded we'll in their
plan. The resolutions commencing the
committee were adopted.
The committee appointed to consider the
report Of the Synou's Permanent Committee
on EvangelIstic Labor brought back the re-
port aud resolutions with amendments,
which occupied the attention of Synod for
some time, and elected interesting facts and
Jealous plans for the enlargement and extern
sion of Christian light and influence in places
now destitute or inadeqIately supplied with
the means of grace. No subject Of more i'm
portance came before the Synod. Recon-
mendatlons were made for the appointment
