A MEASURE of very considerable i'm
portance on the part of the Northern
General Assembly was the adoption of a
plan for the reorganization Of Synods.
The six Synods of New York State were
consolidated into one; the four of Ohio
into one; the four of Pennsylvania into
one; the three in Illinois into one; the
two of Indiana into one; and the two of
of Iowa into one. The Synods are also
invested with new powers, and provision
is made, where the size of the Synod rem
ders it expedient, for them to consist Of
selected delegates instead Of being mere
convocations Of all the ministers with
one elder from each church, Nearly
all the Northern Synods cover now each
an entire State.
The effect Of this is to add to the i'm
portance Of the Synods, and will rem
edy, we hope, what has been greatly
complained of in the Northern Church,
the lack Of interest frequently manifested
in the Synodcal meetings.

| PRESBYTERIAN HISTORICAL SOCIETY,"
We have received copy of the Annual
Report of this Society for the year ending
May 9Th, 1881. The Society was organ
lied in 1852 for the purpose of gathering
and preserving materials for the complete
history of Presbyterianism in our country.
After about thirty years of effort build
ing has been provided in Philadelphia
Q229 Race street, as "fre-proof as brick
and iron can make it, and many valua-
BILE historical documents have been pro-
cured which were likely to perish. The
Society invites all who love our common
name to assist in the accomplishment OF
its most important work.
In the name of our Church we ask
the Ministers, Elders, Deacons, and Mem
bers; the Stated Clerks of Synods, Pres
byteries, and Sessions, to increase the
efficiency of the Society, which is theirs
to promote the knowledge, objects, and
interests of it; to secure and transmit
Books, Pamphlets, Magazines, PERIOD
Gals, Reviews, Sermons, single and col
lected; Histories and Discourses concern
ing Churches, Persons, and Localities
Minutes and Proceedings of Presbyte-
ries, Synods, and General Assemblies
Manuals and Charters of Churches; Let
tiers, Autographs, and Manuscript Ser,
mons of deceased Ministers; Annual Re-
ports of Religious and Benevolent Socie-
ties; Catalogues of Colleges, Seminaries,
and Schools; Biographies, Portraits and
Photographs of Ministers and prominent
Laymen; Views of Churches; Pictures
and Engravings; and whatever else can
illustrate or add interest to the facts con-
corning our own or other denominations.
And in the interest of the entire Church,
the Society asks that it may by supplied
with the means essential to its vigor and
usefulness.
Any person connected with any branch
of the Presbyterian Church may become
member of this Society by the payment
of FIVE dollars annually.
The Society was represented at the late
meeting of our General Assembly at
Staunton by the Corresponding Secretary,
Rev. DR.. A. V.C. Schenck, and DR.. Hoge
made an address on the occasion. The
Assembly appointed committee to CO.
operate with the Society, consisting of
Rev. Drs. M. D. Hoge, w. T. Richardson,
and VIM. Writ Henry, Esq.
