First sentence: THIS Convention originated in a proposal made in the Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian Church, at its meeting in the city of New York, in May, 1867, by George H. Stuart, Esq., an Elder in that body; in reference to which, the following resolutions were adopted: Whereas, The interests of the cause of Christ require us, at this time, to inaugurate measures to heal Zion's breaches and to bring into one the divided portions of the Presbyterian family; therefore, Resolved, That this Synod recommend to the several Presbyterian judicatories, now met or soon to meet, to unite with us in calling a General Convention of the Presbyterian Churches of the United States, to meet in the city of Philadelphia, on the second Wednesday of September next, or at such time and place as may be agreed upon, for prayer and conference in regard to the terms of union and communion among the various branches of the Presbyterian family.
