lature. The report was adopted.
Rev. Patterson, D. D., of Chicago, pre-.
sented report of the standing committee
on systematic beneVolence. During the
past year there has been an increase of
three SYnods and thirty six Presbyteries
organized and acting either on the Assem-
bly, plan of benevOlence, or some other
similar plan. This leaves only seven of our
thirty eight Synods and fifty two Presbyte-
ries out of one hundred and seventy five
that are not known to co operate with our
plan. Two OF the seven Synods and fifteen
OF the fifty Presbyterles are on foreign
grounds. The boards of the church
are all reported to have received
increased contributions to their treas.
uries, ranging from ABOUT three thousand
TO fifty thousand dollars each, except the
Freedman's Committee, which has received
thirty five hundred dollars less than within
the preceding year, but 1t suffered no de-
crease in gifts of the church. The net in
crease of contributions Is upward of eighty
five thousand dollars. Almost all re-
gular causes OF benevolence report balances
in their treasures. The number of
collections from the churches has been In
creased by six hundred and ninaty.four
within the year. Nearly twenty thousand
blanks remain to be filed by oI-contribu-
ting churches. The cause of home mis-
sions received nothing from one thousand
seven hundred and twenty-eIght churches,
and that of foreign missions was treated
likewise by two thousand three hundred
and forty churches. Further organization is
needed in the Synods, Presbyteries and
churches.
The report closed with number OF recon-
mendations, among which was the follow
ing: That the permanent committee be en-
larged 80 as to distribute its labors more
wisely, and to suggest that Cleveland be its
centre, with ten persons as members of the
committee-Arthur Mitchell, G. s. Pome-

'tMen who get power often, very often,
forget that it was secured by the efforts
of many, and is not their personal pre-
rogative," said Mr.. Cameron. ''It is,
therefore, the duty of the executive not
only to administer the trust in his hands
for the good of the whole country, but
so as to strengthen the organization

"The differences in the party are very
serious-really dangerous-and l cannot
see now how they are to be settled yet
hope they will be- The disposition to
fight rather than to amicably adjust the
difficulties is the worst feature of the
situation. I always acted upon the
theory that you must compromise with
or crush your enemy"

can live while divided into factions, each

Conkllng and the force he represents, /
might almost say commands, cannot be
crushed and the party live Therefore
he should have been met in a spirit of
compromise, which the withdrawal of
all the New York nominations would
have emphasized.
"Was there any necessity for this
trouble?"
None in the world When General
Garfield was elected the party was as
strong as it ever was, and with bright
prospects for the future. No element of
the Republican party reioiced more
heartily in this condition of affairs than
that known as stalwarts, and none were
ready TO do more for its future success
than they. | hardly think that the party
can succeed without them. The diff

the stalwarts is misunderstood and mis-

should be distributed so as to strengthen
the Republican party and not destroy it.

The United PresbHterInns.

PITTsBURG, Pa, May % The General
Assembly OF the United Presbyterian
Church re-convened this morning. After
the opening exercises, which were conduct
ed by Moderator Corson, the Committee on
Revision Of the book of selections, called
Bible Songs" reported their inability TO
agree. Resolutions were then adopted,
after considerable discussion, endorsing the
undivided psalter now in use. and remov-
ing the restrictions which the last Assem-
bly, placed on the Board Of Publication, by
authorizing them to publish "Bible
Songs" to meet the demand OF the
church. The report of the Board
of Church Extension was next adopted,
and an appropriation of $50, 900 made for
the ensuing year. The question of a union
of the United Presbyterian Church witch the
Associate Reformed Church of the South
then received attention, and it was resolved
to empower commission to consummate a
union between the two bodies, with the
understanding that neither church change
its standard. The action of the commission
will be referred to the next General Assem-
bly,. The Committee on Bills and OVertures
recommended the submission OF the ques-
ton to the Presbytery, asking them If they
desired TO be overturned for a chapter allow
ing the use of instrumental music in
churches. This was laid over for the reeu-
lar order on Monday morning, and the As
sembly adjourned. The session will last
until next Wednesday.
