One of the most successful sessions, if not the most successful session, of the Presbyterian Assembly ever held, con- cluded its labors, to-day. There was nothing of great importance before it, but the members had what was better for the crowth of the Church, a thorough examina-
ion and interchange of ideas. The coim-
mittee on businesg always leave topics that require time for discussion to the last day, and this business was hurriedly done. in speaking on the Sabbath School report, Dr. Murray _ strongly _ re- commended that Christian Endeavor
cieties be established wherever possible. Che committee for the reception of minist- ers from other denominations passed evs. Messis. Mousseau, Gloag, Rae, Morin, Stevens, Wilson, Moreton and W. McGregor, tne latter to take two years course at any college. Four applications were withdrawn or refused. The report of the Committee on religious instruction in public schools recommended that re- ligious instruction be an integral part of education in public schools, and that it was the duty of Provincial Governments to make provision for the same, subject to such conditions as shall not conflict with the consciences of parents, and that a com- mittee ought to be appointed to watch ‘egislation in the different provinces. Ad- upted.
