Interesting Discussion Before the
General Assembly.

The docket of the Presby terrain general
assembly at Saratoga. N. Y. for the fore
noon session yesterday contained only two
Items on regular order, the report on the
work Of the bolrd of missions to freedmen
and the. continuation of the discussion with
regard to the relations Of young peoples
societies to the church. The committee on
bills and oSertures reported. upon the re-
quest that steps be taken to secure uni
formity of worship in all the churches. 1t
was recommended that no action be taken,
as the present freedom Is more edifying
than any strictness of uniformity could
be- I .''--
Before taking up the regular order the
moderator made a plea for harmony in the
subsequent proceedings OF the assembly.
The report Of the standing committee on
work among the freedmen showed receipts
s146.3o2 and expenditures S149. 763 The
debt of the board Is 1881. The board has
and Sunday schools. 70 day schools. with
go teachers and 9311 pupils During the
year 2.0S3 have been added to the boards
churches. The freedmen have themselves
contributed Sos, COO to the support of their
churches and schools
When the second order was taken up the
floor was accorded to Rev. Charles D. Lane
OF Mount Vernon. N. Y. He moved as a
substitute for the remainder, of the report
that the committee on young peoples so
cieties be discharged from the further con-
sideration of the subject and on this motion
he said that 1t was the desire of the church
that these societies be let alone. He in
sisted that nothing was necessary to insure
the UNCONVENTIONAL loyalty of the societies
of Christian Endeavor. whereas the present
plan OF the committee meant Presbyterian
Ism, with ism" spelled in big letters.
The motion was ruled out of order on a
point made by DIR. Breed. the chairman Of
the committee. though the resolution be-
fore the house provided for the continue
ton Of the committee
DR.. Breed then addressed the assembly
saying that the committee had taken q
middle course. and that they had no in
tention of suppressing the societies Of
Christian Endeavor. 1t was simply ques-
ton whether the members Of the societies
shall be Presbyterians first and members
afterward- or vice versa. The discussion
of the subject continued till adjournment,
at 1880. and was made a special order for
this afternoon.
The report Of the committee of confer
ence, with the theological seminaries, was
made second order for Wednesday after
noon. The afternoon session was devoted
to the reports Of the board OF education and
the committee on church unity.
