THE SYNOD

OF THE

REFORMED PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

THE SYNOD met in the Reformed Presbyterian Church, Alleghany, Pa., May 22, 1867, and was constituted with prayer. Rev. J. R. W. SLOANE, of New York Presbytery, was elected Moderator, Rev. R. Z. Wilson, Clerk, and Rev. H. H. George, Assistant Clerk.

PRESBYTERIAL REPORTS.-The committee on the reports of Presbyteries say that there is much to encourage the Synod, as God has shown his power and presence among many of the churches under our care. Much as we mourn over the prevalence of unbelief and worldliness, yet we believe the Church is growing in love, in public spirit and zeal for the cause of her Master; her boundaries are extending and new fields of missionary labor are opening up. There are but few laborers amongst us to gather the ripening harvest, yet we have a goodly number of young men preparing for the ministry. At no time was there a more auspicious opening in providence to press our views on civil government or a more determined effort on the part of the pulpit and the press to promulgate these views. On this subject our church seems to be aroused, and we hope her efforts in this direction will be successful.

HOLDING AN OFFICE AND VOTING.-An inquiry from Rochester Presbytery, asking "whether a member of our Church residing in Canada may hold a civil office in a case where no oath is required." The principle involved in this question is not local but general in its application. The position of the Reformed Presbyterian Church in regard to accepting office is not that it is sinful in itself, and wrong in all cases, but that it may become sinful either by the imposition of an immoral oath or by involving an obligation to perform a sinful service. When either of these conditions exist, the law and practice of the Church forbid holding of office. From Lakes Presbytery, asking whether members of this Church may, consistently with their principles, vote for an amendment to their State Constitution (Ohio), granting to colored persons the right of suffrage. The simple question to be voted is, "Shall the word white be stricken from the Constitution?" The committee refer to the decision of Synod last year on the same question. From some members of the Church under the jurisdiction of Illinois Presbyter, asking Synod to appoint a commission to re-try a given case. Passed.

CHURCH EXTENSION.-Two congregations have been aided during the year: Oil City, Pa., $500, and Kossuth, Iowa, $600. The treasury, balance on hand, $721.71. Receipts, $1743.62. Total, $2465.33. Disbursements, $1100. Balance, $1365.33. When the report was read, a motion was made to adopt the suggestion of the committee, either to discontinue the Board, or make effective efforts to greatly increase the contributions; it was resolved to continue the Board, and the churches were required to take up collections.

DOMESTIC MISSIONS.-Efforts have been made to obtain a missionary for the North-west. The people of Elliota, Minn., need preaching and have sent for a missionary, and in Indianapolis, Ind., Rev. J. Crozier has been laborIn October, 1866, it was found ing with zeal and some degree of success. that the Church did not contribute funds enough to sustain two missions among the Freedmen; and the one in Natchez, Miss., was discontinued, and the whole strength of the Church devoted to the mission in Washington, D. C., to which field Rev. J. M. Johnston was appointed superintendent, the Rev. J. M. Armor having resigned. Mr. Johnston has been exceedingly zealous and eminently useful, and the mission is in a hopeful condition. Besides the superintendent, there are five female teachers at this mission, two day-schools and one Sabbath-school. One dayschool occupies the building owned by the Board, and is graded into primary, intermediate and grammar departments, taught by the Misses C. S. Clough, H. M. Johnston and S. E. Morse, and has an attendance of one hundred and forty pupils. The other day-school occupies a building on Sixth street, rented from the Freedmen's Bureau at $5 per month, and is taught by the Misses M. J. Jamison and J. E. Smith; number of pupils, ninety. The rapid progress made by all of the schools is very gratifying to the friends of the mission, and certainly reflects much credit upon the teachers, who have been laboring with the utmost energy, though under serious disadvantages. Our schools have been frequently noticed by the Washington papers as among the very best in the city. The Sabbathschool has an attendance of two hundred and twenty-five pupils, who are taught from Brown's and the Shorter Catechisms and the Bible. The interest manifested by the scholars is shown by their progress, and the fact that all remain for the public services, which are conducted by Rev. J. M. Johnston immediately after the closing of the school. The truth is, that the progress made by these colored children far exceeds that of many of the whites, who enjoy immeasurably superior advantages. The superintendent has the general oversight of all the schools, preaches every Sabbath, and lectures to the people during the week as he can, visits them in their families, and is doing all he can, in conjunction with the teachers, to promote their physical, intellectual and religious improvement. In addition to all this, he is frequently called upon to occupy the pulpits of various denominations among the white people in the city, so that his position is no sinecure.

The treasury receipts, $6601.15. Disbursements, $6517.30. Balance, $83.85.

FOREIGN MISSIONS.-The field of operation is in Syria. In the city of Latakyeh and the villages of B'hamna, Kardoha, Boor, Gendaryeh and Mesheriffy, the schools have been in successful operation. Rev. R. J. Dodds and family returned to the mission with Miss Rebecca Crawford, reaching Latakyeh, Jan. 12, 1867, in thirty days from the United States.

The treasury receipts, $12,344.24. Disbursements, $10,683.47. Balance, $4366.24.

EDUCATION.-The Church educates her sons in Geneva Hall, Northwood, Ohio, where the experiment of educating students together, irrespective of color, has proven a success. Though at first there were manifest signs of opposition in the community, the colored youth selected by the Board to be educated there have, by a quiet, respectful and Christian deportment, so conducted themselves as to secure almost universal respect and esteem. There have been under the care of the agent in all twenty-one colored pupils-nineteen during the year. With one or two exceptions they are well conducted and unusually orderly. The Board has paid the entire expenses of four-a part of the expenses of other five-the entire tuition of four others, and part of the tuition of other two. Help has been extended to fifteen in all. Of some half dozen educated at the expense of the Board the best hopes are entertained. The Board feel profoundly grateful to God that their attention has been directed to young persons so worthy of their help. They all give evidence of piety, and are most punctual in their attendance upon the ordinances, both public and social; in this respect they are an example to the youth in our own Church. Some of them have very superior talents, not only furnishing evidence of success in the study of languages and mathematics, but also of eloquence of a rare quality; while others, though not excelling in their studies, are unsurpassed in the entire community in everything that constitutes a gentleman and a Christian. They are not only faithful and diligent in their studies-including the Bible-but also in the discharge of all other duties imposed upon them, evincing a growing disposition to do with their might whatever their hand findeth to do. They evince a commendable and determined purpose to surmount all difficulties, and prosecute their studies to such an extent as they may be qualified for important positions and great usefulness in society,

The Board are much pleased with the success that has thus far attended their efforts in this direction.

THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY.-The report is as follows: During the year sixteen students were on the roll, viz.: First year. J. K. Black, S. J. Crow, S. R. Galbraith, R. J. George. Second. D. C. Faris, Isaiah Faris, W. J. Gillespie, D. Gregg, Jr., D. B. Willson. Third. J. M. Faris, A. W. Johnson. Fourth. J. A. Black, J. R. McFarland, J. R. Newell, T. A. Sproull, Alex. Wright.

We submit to Synod the propriety and wisdom of an annual change in the constituency of its Board of Superintendents. The principle of a division of labor is the right one in the Church as elsewhere, and it is obviously plain that a change in its managers will tend to awaken a wider sympathy and a larger interest throughout the Church on behalf of the institution.

The following students have finished their four years' course: J. A. Black, J. R. McFarland, J. R. Newell, T. A. Sproull and Alex. Wright, all of whom were licensed by Pittsburg Presbytery.

Rev. Samuel O. Wylie was elected professor, as successor of the late Jas, M. Willson, D.D., deceased.

STATE OF THE COUNTRY.-The committee to present a memorial to Congress in favor of amending the Constitution reported that through the attention and energy of Rev. J. M. Johnson, Superintendent of Freedmen's Mission, Washington, D. C., our memorial was introduced to the Senate by Hon. Henry Wilson, of Mass., and to the House of Representatives by Hon. William Lawrence, of Ohio. It was referred in both Houses to the Committee on the Judiciary.
