Excerpt from The General Assembly of 1866 There are very few among our Ministers or people who are satisfied with the present condition of the Church. At a'period when several of the Evangelical denominations are reuniting their dissevered fragments, and one of them is raising a fund of three millions of dollars in aid of its Institutions; when the Romish Hierarchy is putting forth unprecedented efforts for the control of the country; when error and iniquity abound on every side, and our population of both races stand in greater need than ever of the ordinances of the Gospel; our own com munion, from whatevep causes, is fenervated by internal strife; our Board of Domestic Missions is pleading pathetically for funds, and the Boards of Education and of Foreign Missions for men - and all pleading in vain; in the chief centres of in fluence Presbyterianism is relatively, if not positively, losing ground; and, to crown all, we are threatened with large seces sions, not to say with actual division. Calm and thoughtful men, not only in the ministry, but in the other learned profes sion's - men who stood firmly by the Government during the late war - are noting with deep solicitude the incestuous com merce between the Church and the politics of the country. In every quarter there are tokens which, however they may be de rided by superficial and vindictive pol'emics, are filling the true friends of our Church with sad apprehensions.
