SARATOGA, May 1.-THE Presbyterian
Assembly, to day, referred to a Com
inittee the memorial depreciating the

Sabbath, and authorized Rev. Mr..
Thompson, of Peoria, ID. J. Burrel, OF
Iowa, and Rev. DR.. w. Calliins, of Buf-
falO, to select the next place for the meet
ing of the General Assembly.
The report on ministerial relief
showed matters more favorable than
ever before. Still the contributions to
the fund are not sufficient to meet all
calls. The secretary said S9OO,OOO has
been contributed in twenty-fOur years.
During the past year l34 churches have
given that never gave before. There
are four hundred ministers depending
on the fund, besides families.
II. p. Etinger, Commissioner from
Muncie, Indiana, made stirring speech,
calling for assistance to the fund, saying
he would see that his Presbytery in
creased its contribution 200 per cent, il
he had 10 pay it himself.
