Business.

1t was exactly two o'clock when the
Reverend Moderator called the Synod 10
order Yesterday afternoon. There was a
good attendance of delegates, and fair
sprinkling of ladies present. The first
order of the afternoon session was the re-
port of the Committee on Judiciary, whlch
was read by the Chairman, Rev. DR.. W.
II. Cook. In the case of Rev. j. G. Nlmmo
against the Presbytery OF Philadelphia
North. the committee reported that the
proper papers in the case were not lodged
with them. and the complaint was return
ed TO Rev. Nimmo without prejudice to be
brought up again at the next meeting OF
the Synod.
The next case was the complaint of Rev.
ID. j. Beale against the Blairsville PresDy-
terra for dissolving the pastoral relations
existing between him and the Johnstown
church. The report was as follows:
"Your committee report that they forward
ed the papers in this case in order. They
show that the pastoral relation is already
dissolved and that the pulpit of the Johns
town church is actually vacant at this
time.
Asa complaint does not, according
to our new book of discipline,
stay proceedings, and any action
that the SYNOD might take would be in

him the withdrawal of 1.-THE complaint"
This suggestion has been accepted in a
spirit of Christian magnanimity.
We recommend therefore that complain
ant lave leave to withdraw the "com-
plaint;n and that, in giving such leave, the
SYNOD most cordially commends the spirit
OF unselfish devotion to the work of the
Lord Jesus Christ that DR.. Beal has dis
played .t0
Beale against the Blairsville Presbytery,
in declining to seat certain elders, was vlr-

was also withdrawn. The complaint OF
