the late llev Thomas Melte raon aua Knox

was aettled by the congregation according
to the request of the Speed.
A goad elder from Huron has an overture
here on "Pasture in Prayer." It seems
that Presbyterians ate getting laze, and in-
deed of standing at prayg; preter a baif-
sittiig position. This overture asked the
Synod to transfer it to the General. As -am.
bly, whioh it did without expressing any
opinion on it.
Dr Cochrane presentel report from La Best
College, Brantford. This institution lull
had the lergeet attendance this year iu its
history and in every way has closed a very
prosperous year, Report received and the
College commended to the attention of our
fair daughters. The Ministerial Aseoeuation
of London gent a delagatiou consisting of
Revs. Messrs Mollonagh, Carr and Ira
Smith, who convoyed friendly greetings,
and a welcome to London.
The moat interesting case so far before
the Synod is a question between the Pres-
teries of Sarnia .and London sato which has
jurisdiction over the congregation of East
Williams. This congregation, which was
long under the care of the late Rev L. Mc-
Pherson, remained out of the union in 1874
In 1883 Mr McPherson retired and the con-
gregation wished to come into the union. The
Presbytery of Sarnia had in the meantime
been erected and the congregation seemed
clearly within its territory. The matter,
however, was never properly settled and it
bad caused some friction between their
Presbyteries. The Synod decided that it
should be under the care of London.
The anneal reports aro always of great
interest ; they conoist of reports on the
'State of Religion' Temperance, Sabbath
Schools and Sabbath Observance, which
have been prepared from reports from the
nine Presbyteries within the bounds of the
Synod. They occupied the whole of Tues-
day ovg, Recommendations were adopted
asfollows :
On the State of Religion -that sessions
be urged to a more careful supervision of
the prayer meetings and congregations and
to'the necessity of special meetings for de-
votional purposes
On Temperance -that ministers be en-
joined to keep the gospel before the people
as the only means of uplifting and purifying
our race ; tbat our people he again urged.
to throw their influence in favor of Tem-
perance both by their example and by sus-
taining the present restriction laws, and
that total prohibition be sept in view as the
final goal and the only means of putting an
end to the traffic in intoxicating drink.
On 5 Schools --that the attention of ses-
sions be called to the fact that not more
than one third of the scholars in our S.
Schools are committing scripture and the
catechism to memory; and that the higher
religious instruction scheme be earnestly
commended to our Sabbath Schoola.
On Sabbath Observance -that ministers
be urged to preach at least once a year on
this question and that batter laws on this
question be pressed for. There is a good
deal of business yet, and perhaps the most
interesting matter is to come in the shape
of an appeal from a session in Hamilton
pity against a decieion of the Hamilton
Presbytery
A,OENT a. P. R. -Mr F M Tipton, Agent
