faction of Chesapeake Presbytery9
The committee to examine the subject
report recommending to Presbytery the
adoption of the following overture to the
Synod:
The Presbytery of Chesapeake respect
fully overtures the Synod of Virginia
asking the reconsideration of its deliver
ance in the report adopted by Synod at
Petersburg, 1881, (see Minutes, p. 1O8),
on the nature and extent of the author
ity and care given to our Presbyteries in
the training of candidates for the minis
try"
l. We dissent from the second para
graph of the report adopted, which is as
follows: " The standards of our Church,
and the almost uniform usage under them,
regard those seeking the ministry in this
Church as bound at least when entering
upon their theological studies, to place
themselves under the care of some Pres
bytery most naturally, that within the
bounds of which the student resides.
We find nothing in the standards of the
Church showing that those seeking the
ministry in this Church are bound, at least
when entering upon their theological
duCles, 10 place themselves under the care
of some Presbytery."
2. We dissent even more strongly from
the 3rd paragraph of the report, which
is as follows Further, the standards
and practice define the nature and extent
of the authority of the Presbyteries over
their candidates as similar in kind and
degree to that exercised by the Presby-
teries over their ministers" We find
nothing in the standards to this effect.
On the contrary when the minister is
amenable to his Presbytery, the candi-
date is to his church session. Unani-
mously adopted. WIN D1NwIDD1E.

science" If materialism should become
dominant, the forms of free government
would cease to be of any value. The re-
public, no less than the monarchy, would
become the stronghold of the most cruel
desPotism, for if the one power in the
world is brute force, then, in the social
system also, the principle must rule that
might is right.-E. de PreSSenSe, an the

annual Report of the Trustees to tile General
Assembly Of the Presbyterian Church of the
United States, and the Synods of North Caro-.
lima and Virginia:
The Trustees met in annual session on
the End and 3rd days of May, 1882,
nineteen of the twenty-four members of
the Corporation being present.
The whole number of students during
the year ending the 3rd day of May
1882, was ffty-fve, twelve being mem
bers of the Senior, fourteen in the Mid
die, and nineteen in the Junior Glass.
On the 3rd inst, after appropriate ad
dresses by the Rev. f. H. Johnston, of
North Carolina, and the Rev. DR.. Kirk
patrick, President of the Corporation,
Certificates of having completed the full
course Of study prescribed by the Con-
stitution of the Seminary were awarded
in the public chapel TO the following gen
tlemen, viz Messrs. Albert G. Buckner,
of North Carolina, Peyton H. Hoge, of
Virginia, Francis W. T. Pittman, of Vir-
ginia, and John Calvin Stewart of Vir-
ginia. Of the remaining members of the
Senior class, one was a resident-licentiate
one was obliged to give up his studies
on account Of i'll health, one was an
" irregular" one was called to supply
the place Of disabled pastor and four
others left before the close of the term,
to be examined for licensure by their
Presbyteries, which met at such dis
lance as to make it impracticable for
these young men to return to the Semi
nary.
no fc Of h.,
of the Examining Committee, it appears
that the students, for the most part, have
been diligent and faithful in their work,
with gratifying results, as exhibited in
the final examinations. The health of the
Faculty and students has been generally
good, no cases of serious sickness have
occurred.
A course of twenty lectures in Elocu-
tion was delivered during the session,
and with measure of success so marked
as to secure the commentator of the
Faculty.
1t is matter Of grave concern to the
Trustees, as to the whole Church, that
so few young men are looking to the
work of the ministry With growing
demand for laborers in the field, the
number seems to be alarmingly decreas-
ing
The value Of written examinations, in
the judgment of the Trustees, is album
dainty shown in the continued use Of
them.
The buildings and grounds are in i'm
proved and good condition. The fnau-
oial status Of the institution YVES never
better. Reference is made to the official
appendix for specific information.
With a profound sense Of the signal
avors shown to the Seminary, in its pre-
vious history, by the great Head Of the
jhurch, the Trustees would humbly ex-
5ress their gratitude to Him, with ear
rest prayers for His continued help and
blessing

Home Missions.


To the Brethren and Churches of East Haaover
Presbytery;
l. Your committee of Home Missions
applied to the Committee at Baltimore
for aid for nine brethren from Home Mis-
sion funds, for two from the Evangelistic,
and for one from the Colored Evangelis-
tic funds-the amount of which for one
year would be $2.525, sum beyond what
the Presbytery has contributed for sew
eral years past, but which it is hoped the
Presbytery will obtain in contributions
to these causes. These applications were
all granted, and remittances for certain
terms, already forwarded to all of these
brethren.
Having so large number of churches
needing aid in support of their pastors,
it was a necessity that the Committee
should exercise discrimination in the
amounts asked for in the various cases.
2. A deficiency in the payment of the
last year remains unprovided for of only
sos. The Committee will be glad to have
this small balance paid.
3. For the building of the church in
Gloucester there remains to be secured
some $3.50. If $500 can be pledged to
be paid by July 1st, by societies, Sunday
Schools, or individuals, the committee
will assume the responsibility of begin
Ming the work at once.

DEATH IN THE PULP1T.-On Good
Friday the parish priest Of Imbach, near
Krems, in Lower Austria was preaching
to his congregation, and had Just uttered
the words Owe must all die, when he
sank down and expired. This recalls to
mind similar incident which occurred
at Liverpool theatre many years ago,
when an actor having uttered There is
another and better world, fell back
ward and died 1t may be said that
both in one way were happy in the OPP
portunity Of their death.
