Rev. Thomas W. Hynes entered his Protest against the decision of the Assembly in this case, as follows: PROTEST.-The undersigned respectfully protest against the action of the Assembly, referring the complaint of Revs. John Mack and John Crozier to the next Assembly: 1st. That this case has already been three years before the General Assembly. 2d. Great injustice is done to the cause of Christ by this course. THOMAS W. HYNES, Ministers. JOHN CROZIER, Synodical Records. The records of Albany, Allegheny, Baltimore, Chicago, New Jersey, New York, Northern Indiana, Ohio, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Southern Iowa, and Wheeling Synods, were approved. The following Synods failed to send up their records: Buffalo, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Nashville, Northern India, Pacific, and St. Paul. The following with exceptions: Sandusky, Wisconsin, Cincinnati. Report on Missouri Synod is as follows: Resolved, That this Assembly does not approve the records of Missouri Synod; that so much of said records as attempt to declare null and void the previous action of the Synod which had been formally approved by the Assembly is an act of insubordination, which said Synod is hereby required to reconsider and reverse; that they report to the next Assembly what they have done or failed to do in the premises, and until that time the usual certificate of the Moderator be withheld. The remaining portion of the report was then adopted, as follows: On page 365, where the Synod reaffirm their testimony of November, 1861, with regard to the action of the Assembly of the same year, known as the Spring Resolutions, which testimony declares the action of that Assembly on the state of the country to be unscriptural, unconstitutional, unwise, and unjust; of no binding force whatever on this Synod, or upon the members of the Presbyterian Church within our bounds. 66 The committee also recommend that, besides excepting to the record as above stated, the repeated exhibition of such a rebellious spirit, on the part of any inferior court towards the supreme judicatory of the Church, should not pass without censure.

HELM, graduate of Centre College, Danville, Ky. B. F. AUFDER HEIDE, of Missouri, graduated. He was licensed by St. Louis Presbytery. The whole number of students during the year was six. The Assembly adopted the following minute: The Danville Seminary has been injuriously affected by the great national convulsion of the last five years to such an extent as to awaken deep solicitude for its continued prosperity and usefulness. The number of students has become so small that three of the four Professors have resigned, whilst the Rev. Robert J. Breckinridge, D.D., has signified his readiness to resign. Thus the question of a temporary suspension of the Seminary has become one of serious import. After mature deliberation your committee recommend that the Assembly request Dr. Breckinridge to retain his Professorship, to look after the interests of the Seminary, and endeavor to secure its more perfect endowment. |
