The accounts of the treasurer were

The StratfordPresbyterypctitiohlecl
the 'Synod to use its influence with
the General Assembly to stay pro-
ceedings in regard to the change
being made in the Hymnal at pres-
ent as proposed by the Pan -Presby-
terian Council. -. After considerable
discussion a committee was appointed
to meet the Stratford representatives
and draft a new overture. The
general opinion was held to be in
favor of some change in the Hymnal.
Dr. Laing • presented an overture
signed• by himself; Dr. Fletcher and
.A. McLaren, to the effect that the
order of public worship in Presbyter-
ian churches bo improved. 1)r,
• Laing said the service should be for
edification and uniform in substance
and order, At present some churches
gave too much tifne to singing and
others too niuclh to prayers. Generals
interest as well las particular interests
should be remembered, and some of
the prayers were defective.
Rev. Lyle and others spoke on the
]natter,. and the foi%or said he
wished. to conduct his service as at
present, and did not see aliyeldeg
objectionable to singing during the
Offertory.
• Aetioa Was deferred.
Considerable time was occupied
during the afternoon session over the
appeal from D. M. Gordon, an elder
of the Maitland Presbytery,. who ap-
pealed against the Presbytery's find;
ing ill. connection with a difficulty he
Thad had with the pastor, i1ev, Hector
McQuairrie., Rev. Dr. Cochrane
presented a lengthy report ' on the
matter, from which it appeared that Ie.
li1r. Gordon had rcfuse'd to appear
before the Winghanl Session so answer
a charge of slander and falsehood,
preferred by Mr. McQuarric, who was
also sitting in judgment on the case.
The falsehood, it is stated, consisted
in. Mr. Gordon- alleging that the
ntinister had represented him (Gordon)
before the Presbytery of Maitland as
a "weak-kneed"' Temperance man,
and further that Gordon crew certain
inferences from letters received by
him from Messrs. McQuarric and Me-
Nabb that Atr. McQuarrio declares to
be slander. After a lot of discussion
it was decided, on motion of Rev. P.
Strath, that a commission .be appoint-
ed to issue the matter et Liieknow
or elsewhere, provided all parties
interested are willing. They ex-
- pressed''their willingness, and the
matter was dropped.
At the evening ]meeting the follow-
ing were appointed the commission
on the Gordon appeal case :—Revs.
Dr. Cochrane, Dr. Fletcher, Dr. Mc-
Mullen, A. Henderson, and the Mod-
erator, Dr. I3attisby ; and Ac'laln
