sioners to the Presbyterian general
assembly decided to hold the next

ing that ministers coming from the
southern Presbyterian church be
honorably retired with the Same
privileges as if they had served al
ways with the church under the gen.
eral assembly.
After the defeat of this overture
the assembly transacted routine
matters and at two o'clock adjourned
