Abstract of the Sermon

Preached at the opening of the General As
sembly at Staunton, Va. May 10Th, by the
Moderator, Rev. T. A. Hoyt, D. D., from Gala
tlans 6-7, marvel that ye are so soon re
moved from him that called you into the grace
OF Christ unto another gospel: which is not an
other. but there be some that trouble you, and
would pervert the gospel of Christ"
The Apostle evidently in the text indicates
some one system which, in contrast with all
others, he calls the gospel
The interesting inquiry arises-What is the
system of divine truth which Jesus revealed and
the apostles taught?
We affirm that what is commonly known as
the Evangelical Doctrine more nearly Conforms
to this system than any other. This will appear
from the following considerations
l. The Evangelical Doctrine deals more fairly
and fully with the Scriptures than any other
l. 1t assigns them supreme authority.
2. 1t adopts the strongest views of inspiration.
3. 1t discriminates between the general con-
tents of Scripture, all of which is a revelation
from God, and the special system contained IN.
it, which is the gospel.
a. 1t makes distinction, unknown to all
other systems, between natural and revealed re-
ligion.
3. 1t is the only system which includes ALI
the great doctrines of Scripture
g. 1t Is the only compact, harmonious, and
logical system derived from the word of God
ii. The Evangelical Doctrine more fully
Ihan any o%HeI, ILLUSTRATES tne nature ana PEI
fections of God.
l. 1t claims to emanate from the Three Fer
sons of the Godhead.
2. To exhibit the power wisdom, Justice and
grace OF God as they are nowhere else seen.
LII. The Evangelical Doctrine portrays hui
man nature in terms which are sustained by the
declarations of Scripture, by the history Of the
race, and by the conscience of the individual
1t gives the only Ineligible account of the d.
vine lazy In Its relations to man. For it only
represents the law as having been fulfilled in its
precept and penalty. 1t uses the law as the in
strument of conyiction-as a schoolmaster to,
lead men to Christ.
1t employs the law as the rule of life to the
bellever-not merely as an external precept, but
an inward guide of duty
1t constructs the most exalted conceptions of
the future bliss and glory of redeemed man
! ". The Evangelical Doctrine embodies the,
only salvation worthy of Cod and adequate to.
mans necessities. This salvation emanates from:
the nature of God, bears the impress of his three
fold personality, is radiant with the glory of his
perfections 1t conveys pardon to the sinner
restores him to the power of God, clothes hina
with the robes of the Redeemer's righteousness
implants the Holy Spirit in his heart, receives
him into the family of Cod imbues him with.
the spirit of adoption, unites him to Christ
in close and tender and indissoluble bonds, and
admits his parting soul to the Savour's blissfuB
presence. This is the gospel-all else is another
| gospel-it is not another-it is no gospel at all
Let us proclaim this gospel of the grace of God
| to our felow-men, as the only cure for human
| ills

examples of noted and honored worthless who
were always in the minority. He further dwelt
upon the large aggregate of funds used to cover
expenses In carrying on the Church work.
The present scheme tended to repress the Pres
byteries in their work, rather than to develop
them. For the real economy and efficiency OF
the work, he demanded constant and careful
inspection. Because that not more than one
half of our churches contribute to our benevo-
lent schemes was proof to his mind that our
present plan was not a success For the
esteemed and efficient Secretaries he felt the.
most tender regard, and be had no desire to
abolish the brethren, but simply the Offices
and asserted that our present plan was hostile
to the liberties of the Presbyterian Church.
Power in the hands of the few is dangerous, for
if you will give me the Moderator. the Clerks
and the Secretaries of this body, will secure
you any legislation you may desire The Sec
retarat is contrary to Christs teachings, dis
astrous to the Church, and will eventually blot
out a part of the Church of Chrst,-and that
our work should be done not by the Secretariat
but through the pastor. Therefore let us return
Ito Gods plan, because it is the wisest and best
and only conduces to success. The speaker con-
cluded his able and searching address by re-
capitulation of the points made by the majority
report, and which he had aimed to refute, and
offered the following amendment to the report
offered by the majority-viz
ResotUed That the cause of the education of
candidates for the gospel ministry be remanded
to the Presbyteries, and that the Presbvteries
be directed to send one-ffth of their gross re.
ceipts to the treasurer of Education, and that
the Committee of Education be reappointed
Judge w. c. Bullock, of Kentucky urged
that it was not his Judgment that our present
plans were perfect but he greatly deprecated
changes. He was not an "old fogy", nor was
he so considered at home, but he saw no conflict
with the teachings of Scripture. The speaker
also produced letter, just received from Rev.
DIR. Stuart Robinson, in which that distinguished
divine set forth most clearly his views on the
subject and desired to enter his protest against
the constant tinkering and changes in our
schemes of Church work
Pending the discussion the hour for adjourn
ment having arrived, fifteen minutes were spent
In devotional exercises, and the Assembly took
recess until to night at o'clock.
