The Committee on Synodical Minutes presented the following report, which was accepted and adopted: Report of the Committee on the Minutes of the Particular Synods to the General Synod. Your Committee on these Minutes would respectfully report: that they find on page 11 of the Minutes of the Particular Synod of Albany, a petition from the Classis of Geneva, urging upon the General Synod the appointment of a committee of business men to examine the affairs of the Board of Publication and report to General Synod. Resolved, That this petition be referred to the Committee on the Board of Publication. Also, on page 13 a memorial on the organization of the Board of Superintendents, from the Classis of Greene, of the year 1874, and a communication from the Classis of Schenectady of this year, drawing attention to the action which was taken on this memorial the previous year. Inasmuch as this has been already referred to the Committee on the Professorate, no further action is needed. In the Minutes of the Particular Synod of Chicago, page 213, we find a request that the General Synod release them in the future from the appointment of the Committees on Church Extension and Church Visitation. The reason given for this request is that it is impossible to make any practical use of these Committees, on account of their scattered situation. Resolved, That this request be not granted. Also, on pages 216-218, a report on Domestic Missions, in which General Synod is earnestly requested to vigorously prosecute the work of Missions in the West. especially the American part of it, for various indisputable reasons. Resolved, That this report be referred to the Committee on Domestic Missions. All of which is respectfully submitted, A. KRIEKARD, Chairman. |
