Tho annexed io tho plan of union be? tween the Old and New Sohool Presby? terian Churches, reported by the Com? mitted of Conference to the two General Assemblies sitting in New York, and adopted on Thursday unanimously by the. New Sohool body, and with only eight dissenting yoioes by the Old Sohool body. This is the most decisivo stop yet taken toward consolidation. It will be seen that the plan is to be sub? mitted to the different Presbyteries, and their approval or disapproval expressed by the 15th Of October next. Dr. Mus gravo said that the committee had been unanimous in their recommendations, as follows: FfcAK OF RE-TTNION 07 TUB PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN THE UNITED STATES OE AME? RICA. 1. The Presbyterian Churches in the United States of America, namely, that whose General Assembly convened in the Brick Church, in the city of New York, on the 20th day of May, 1869, and that whose General Assembly met in the Church of the Covenant, in the said city, on the same day, shall bo re-united as one church, under the name and style of the Presbyterian Church in the United States1 of America, possessing all the legal and corporate rights and powers Sattaining to the church previous to the ivision in 1888, and all the legal and corporate rights and powers whioh the separate churches now possess. 2. The re-union shall bo effected on the doctrinal and ecclesiastical basis of our common standards; the Scriptures of the Old and New Testamenta shall be ac? knowledged to be the inspired word ol God, and the only infallible rnle of faith and practice; the Confession of Faith shall continue to be sincerely received and adopted, as containing the system ol doctrine taught in Holy Scriptures; and the government and discipline bf thc Presbyterian Church in the Uniter States shall be approved as containing the principles and rule? of our polity. 3. Each of said assemblies shall sub mit the foregoing basis to its Preaby teries, whioh shall be required to meei on or before the 15th day of October 1869, to express their approval or disap prov?} of the same, by a categorical an swer to the following question: Do you approve the re-union of tin two bodies now claiming the name nut rights of the Presbyterian Church in th? United States of America, on the follow ing basis, namely: "The re-union shel be effected on the doctrinal and ecolesi astical basis of our common standards the Scriptures of the Old and New Tes taments shall be acknowledged to be tb? inspired word of God, and the only in fallible rule of faith and practice; th Confession of. Faith shall continuo to b sincerely revered and. adopted as con baining the system bf doctrine taught ii the Holy Scriptures; and tile govern men and discipline of the Presbyterian Churo! in the United States shall be approved a containing the principles and rule of on polity?" Each Presbytery, shall, before the la day of November, 1869, forward to th stated clerk of the General Assembl with' Which it is connected, a statemen of its vote on the said basis of re-nnioi 4. The said General. Assemblies no\ sitting shall, after finishing their busi ness, adjourn to meet in the city c Pittsburg, Pa., on tho second Weane, day of November, 1869, at ll ooloo A. II. If the two General Assemblies sha then find and declare that the aboi named basis'pf re-nnion has been aj proved by two-thirds Of the Presbyter!) connected with each branch of tl . Church,' then the same shall be of bim ing force, and the two assemblies sha take action accordingly. 5. The said General Assemblies sha then and there make provisions for tl meeting ol the General Assembly of tl united Church on the third Thursday May, 1870. Tho moderators of the tv present Assemblies shall jointly presh at the said Assembly of 1870, until a other modera tor is chosen. The modern or of the Assembly now sitting at the Bri? Church aforesaid ?mal?, if present, put i votes and decide questions of ortie?; ai the moderator of the other Assemh shall,1 if present, preach the opening sc mott; ana the stated clerks of tho prese Assemblies shall act as stated clerks the Assembly of*the united Church un a stated dork or olerks shall have be< chosen thereby ; and no commission shall hare a right to vote or delibera in said Assembly until his name oh have been enrolled by the said clari and his commission examined ' a' filed among the papers of the Assembl 6. Each Presbytery of the separate churches shall be. entitled to the same representation in the Assembly of the nnited Church in 1870 as it is entitled to it in the Assembly with which it is now connected. CONCUHBEXT DECLARATIONS OP THE GESE BAIi ASSEMBLIES OP 1869. 1. All the ministers and churches em? braced in the two bodies should be ad? mitted to the same standing in the united body which they may havo held in their respective connections np to the consum? mation of the nnion. 2. Imperfectly organized churches are counseled and expected to beoome tho? roughly Presbyterian as early within tho period of five years as may be permitted by tho highest interests to be consulted; and no other such churches shall be hereafter received? 8. The boundaries of the several Pres? byteries and Synods should be adjusted by the General Assembly of the united onuroh. 4. The official records of tho two branches of the church for the period of separation should be preserved? and held as making np the one history of the church ; and no rule or precedent which does not stand approved by both the bodies should bo of any authority until re-established in the united body, except in so far as such mle or precedent mav affect the rights of property founded thereon. 5. The corporate rights now hold by the two General Assemblies and by their boards and committees should, as far os practicable, be consolidated, and ap? plied for their several objects, as defined by law. 6. There should be one set of commit? tees or boards for home and foreign mis? sions and the other religious enterprises of the church, which the churches should be encouraged to' sustain, though free to cast their contributions into other chan? nels if they desire to do so. 7. As soon as practicable after the nnion shall havo been effected, tho Gen? eral Assembly should reconstruct and consolidate the several permanent. conY mittees and boards which now belong tc the two Assemblies, so as to represent, as far as possible, with impartiality, the views and wishes of tho two bodies con? stituting the united church. 8. The publications of tho board ol publication and of the publication com mitteo should continue to*be issued as al present, leaving it to the board of pr.bli cation of the united church to revise these issues and perfect a catalogue foi tho united church, so as to exclude in vidions references to past controversies 9. In order to a uniform system of ec clesiastical supervision, thoso thoologica seminaries that aro now under Assembly control may, if their board of director so elect, be transferred to tho watch anc care of ono or more oi the adjacent Sy nods; and the other seminaries are ad vised to introduce, os far as may be, int< their constitutions the principle of Sy nodical or Assembly supervision, ii which caso they shall be entitled to ai official recognition and approbation 01 the part of the General Assembly. 10. It should be regarded as the dut; of all judicatories, ministers and peopl in the united church to study the thing which make for peace, and to gnar< against all needless and offensive refei enees to the causes that have divided ut and in order to avoid the revival of pat issues by the continuance of any usag in either branch of tho church that hu grown out of former conflicts, it is eal neatly recommended to the lower judie: tories of the church that they confori their practico in relation to all sue nsages, as far as is consistent with the convictions of duty, to the general cu; tom of the church prior to the contri versies that resulted in the separation. That the counsels of infinite wisdo: may guido our decisions, and the bles ing of tho Great Head of the Ghurc rest upon tho result of car efforts for r union, it is earnestly recommended I the churches throughout both branch of the Presbyterian Church that they ol serve the second Sabbath in Septembe I860, as a day of fervent and unite prayer to Almighty God that He wou grant unto us all "the spirit of couns and might, the spirit of knowledge ni of the fear of the Lord," and in tue ne relations now contemplated enable us "keep the unity of the spirit in the boni of peace." Commenting on this matter, tho Bal; more Sun soys: In the debate in tho Old Sch?OTTl sembly upon tho acceptance of the pla Dr. Skinner, who opposed it, desired be informed, in the event of a vote the Presbyteries in favor of the pla what power the Assembly had to co tinne its legal existence or to dissolve i If the two Assemblies were nnited, a: not one merged in the other, where wc they to get a legal title to their propert Judge Kennedy answered Dr. Skinner this practical point, and, from the? rest of the vote, it would seem to thesatisfi tion oi the Assembly. Dr. Laurie < posad the plan, on the ground tl there Was still much disagreement doctrinal points. Tn the Now School, where the plan of union seems to have been universally popular, it was advo? cated by leading speakers as desirable for the enlargement of charity and. Chris? tian liberality, which tolerates different views and feelings on religious matters. It will be seen that this plan has yet to nndergo the discussion of the various Presbyteries of the two Assemblies, who are to express their approval or disap? proval before the 15th of October next, and if approved of bv three-fourths of each, the two Assemblies, meeting in Pittsburg in November next, shall so de? clare, and toke action for formal re-union. The almost unanimity and heartiness evinced in the action of the Assemblies now in session would seem to warrant the belief that the Presbyteries below will act in the same spirit, and that the re? union of the two churches will be fully completed in November next. As we have before observed, this re? union is not, as some have supposed, a re-uniou of the Northern and Southern Presbyterian Churches, though that Sub jeot came up for discussion in the Old School Assembly on a report of the com? mittee on bills and overtures, and was referred to a special committee. The Moderator, however, stated that any ac? tion at the present time might be da? maging to the peace of tho Southern Church, and would be inopportune. The doctrinal differences which led to the separation of the Old and New School d?nominations in 1883 consisted mainly in a more or less rigid construc? tion of the standards of the church, es? pecially with reference to the doctrines of election, original sin, .tc, the Old School occepting more inflexibly the creed of Calvin, whilst the Confession ol Faith waa interpreted by the New School in a less literally Cal va ni s tic sense. The basis of re-union now adopted require; that "the Confession of Faith shall con tinuo to be sincerely received and adopt ed os containing the system of doctrine taught in the Holy Scripture." As ead School had professed to do this in it; separate organization, there would seen to be no difference on that point war ranting a permanent separation. Thc plan pf re-union wisely abatainn from de ciding the original questions at issue and each party ls left to put its own con struction upon the standards,, only tba henceforth the differences upon thes< points ore not to interfere with the unit; and harmony of the Church. The Pres byterians of the United States are nn merous and influential, and their re union is an important ecclesiastic!) event.
