It was adopted. The same Committee reported Overture No. 2, as follows : The5 opinion of the General Association is requested, with respect to the meaning of the second Article in the Constitution of the General Associ- ation. Does it mean that for every five ministers one minister be sent as delegate to General Association; and for every five churches, one lay delegate from the Church; or does it mean that we may send all lay delegates, or all ministers; or may we go out of Association, and choose whom we please from other bodies % It was committed to Messrs.

The Committee appointed at our last meeting to visit the New York Congregational Association, to inquire into their action with reference to the case of Rev. J. H. Martyn, and the resolutions of this body on the subject of sinless perfection, presented their report, which was adopted; and Rev. Messrs. Clark, Tompkins and Wood were appointed a Committee to report a minute thereon. Recess till 2 o’clock. Afternoon, Attended Public Worship, and heard a Sermon by Rev. E. W. An- drews, from Genesis iii. 15: “ And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.” After which, the Lord’s Supper was administered under the direction of the Moderator, assist- ed by Rev. S. D. Clark, of Massachusetts, and Rev. A. Lillie of Canada. The Committee on the distribution of Minutes made a report, re- commending that one copy of the publications of the Massachusetts Sabbath School Society be distributed to every Congregational minis- ter in the State, and that the other publications be divided equally among our local bodies; which was adopted. An application from the Association of Southern New York, for membership through the Committee of Overtures, was presented; and after reading their Constitution, Articles of Faith, and Standing Rules, it was referred to a Committee consisting of Messrs. Andrews, Har- rington and Platt. Evening. The Committee of Publication reported, that they had printed and distributed 600 copies of the Minutes of our last meeting, at an ex- pense of $42 75. The Treasurer made his report, duly audited, which was submitted to the Committee on Finance. The Committee ap- pointed at our last meeting to visit Genesee Consociation, made a re- port, which was accepted. A report of the state of religion was then made by the delegates from Manhattan, New York, Oneida, Southern New York, and Mon- roe Associations; the Consociations of Western New York, Genesee, St. Lawrence; the General Association of Massachusetts, and the Con- gregational Union of Canada West. Our delegates to the General Convention of Vermont, and the General Assemblies of the Presbyte- rian Church, reported their attendance upon those bodies. Resolved, that we recommend to the ministers and churches in our connexion, to observe the first Monday in the coming year as a day of fasting and prayer, for the conversion of the world to Christ.7 Rev. Simeon North, LL. D., was appointed preacher for the next year, and Rev. David Spear his Substitute. Resolved, That our next meeting be held at Clinton, on the Thursday before the last Sabbath in August next.

Phillips Payson, their delegate, took his seat as a member. Resolutions on the subject of Slavery were reported by the Com- mittee of Overtures; they were discussed, amended, and adopted as follows: Resolved, That the progress of the cause of human freedom in our land, calls for devout gratitude to G-od from every Christian heart. Resolved, That we recommend to all Christians in connexion with us “ to remember those in bonds, as bound with them and not cease to put forth such efforts as they are authorized and required by the great Head of the Church to make in their behalf, until the sin of slaveholding is wiped from our land. Closed with prayer by Rev. Mr. Willoughby. Saturday Morning, 8 o’clock. After an hour spent in devotional exercises, the Minutes of yester- day were read and approved. As the Committee appointed last year from Black River Association to prepare a Pastoral Letter have made no report, the same Committee, Rev. Messrs. Doane, Bellamy and Spear, were re-appointed. The Report of the Committee which visited Genesee Consociation was then considered and adopted, and referred to Rev. Messrs. Hurd, Wood and Platt. The Committee, to whom was referred the report relative to the New York Congregational Association, presented a minute, which, after recess for dinner, was adopted as follows: Whereas the New York Congregational Association stand convicted of a culpable neglect of duty, in not carrying out the recommendation of this body in relation to the case of Rev. J. H. Martyn, touching his ministerial character; and whereas the said Association stands con- victed of suffering their members with impunity to hold heretical sen- timents, touching the doctrine of sinless perfection in this life; and whereas said association has been kindly and faithfully labored with on these subjects, without being brought to rectify their conduct in the one case, or purify their faith in the other:—therefore,8 Resolved, That unless said Association shall proceed thoroughly ta investigate the things touching the character and standing of Rev. J. H. Martyn, taking upon themselves the burden of prosecution and investi- gation—giving all other persons known to be concerned therein fair and full opportunity to present the evidence in their possession, and issue the same; and unless said Association shall take thorough mea- sures to purge themselves from the error in doctrine found in their midst, that sinless perfection is attained or attainable in this life, in the full sense of practicability, and actually exclude those members who hold and advocate such doctrines, and will not renounce them in full; and un- less the said Association shall, at the next annual meeting of this body, present thereto satisfactory evidence that they have done so, then the said New York Congregational Association be regarded as out of our fellowship as an ecclesiastical body. Previous to the adoption of the above report, special prayer for Di- vine direction was offered by Rev. Mr. Hurd. REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON FINANCE. The Commmitte on Finance made their report, which was adopted, as follows:— That it appears from the Treasurer’s report, that he has paid out during the past year,...........$86 80 That there are additional demands for mileage of........34 00 Making............ 120 80 There have been received into the treasury,...... .48 50 Leaving against it,............................ .$72 30 THERE IS DUE ON THE ASSESSMENT OF 1841-’2, From the Consociation of Western New York,..........$10 00 ” Genesee Consociation,...........^...............14 00 ” New York Congregational Association,............13 00 ON THE ASSESSMENT OF 1842--’3, From the New York Congregational Association,.......10 00 Genesee Consociation, ........................10 00 Manhattan Association,....................4 50 Amounting in all to.« .............. ........... .$61 50 Leaving upon the treasury a debt of $10 80.9 Your Committee recommend, that delegates to foreign bodies be paid as the last year; also that the Association raise $75 00 this year to defray current expenses, according to the following assessment:— Oneida Association,..................................... $19 00 New York Congregational Association,........................9 00 Genesee Consociation,..................................... 10 00 Black River Association,....................................6 00 Consociation of Western New York,......................... .7 00 Association of Southern New York,...........................5 00 Manhattan Association,................................... 8 00 Monroe Association,.................................. ...1 00 Essex Consociation,. -.................................. 5 00 St. Lawrence Consociation,............................... 5 00 Association of Western Pennsylvania,........................3 00 On report of Committee, the following were appointed delegates to foreign bodies To the Congregational Union of Canada West—Rev.

The General Association of New York have again been permitted to assemble in our annual meeting, and to witness pleasing indications that our beloved churches, during another year, have been cheered with the presence and favor of our Divine Lord and Master. It affords occasion of devout gratitude to Almighty God, that the ministers connected with this body have so generally been permitted to prosecute their blessed work with success; and that death has not invaded their borders. In common with other portions of Zion, the churches in our connex- ion have shared in the rich effusions of the Holy Spirit; while the cause of Missions, Temperance, Moral Reform, Sabbath Schools and Human Freedom—yea, all the various benevolent enterprises which are dear to the Christian’s heart, have been nurtured by their sympa- thies, prayers and benefactions. We have much cause to mourn over our unfaithfulness, which has prevented our more enlarged success; and to humble ourselves before12 the Head of Zion, with earnest supplications that he will make us more faithful and successful in his service. We have also occasion for sor- row, that the churches do not more highly value a settled ministry and the pastoral office; and that there are errors and divisions, which dis- quiet some of our local Associations. It is believed, however, that these last-mentioned evils are calling forth a more decided and unyield- ing defence of the truth. But the goodness of God, as manifested in reviving his work among us, demands a more extended notice. The Oneida Association report: “ Numbers of our churches have been blessed with these precious seasons. Although they have not been extensive, or what might be called powerful, yet their fruits have been precious. Among the churches which have been thus revived, we would name Clinton, Madison, Eaton, Smyrna, Oriskany Falls, Georgetown, Stockbridge, Linldaen, Paris, Marshall, and the Second Church in Hamilton.” Genesee Consociation report as follows : “ The Lord has continued and increased his goodness and mercy toward us, and the churches within our bounds. Some of our churches have enjoyed precious refreshings from the presence of the Lord. God’s blessed Spirit has been present with his convincing, searching and purifying influences. Hardened sinners have been slain by the truth, and by it made free. Devoted Christians have been refreshed, backsliders reclaimed, and deceived professors undeceived.” The church in LeRoy and Bergen, and the church in Warsaw, are named as having shared in these reviv- ing influences. The St. Lawrence Consociation say of the past year: “It has not been with us a year of the right hand of the Most High ; yet, in many respects, it has been one of interest. We have had uninterrupted peace and harmony among ourselves. The pastors and ministers have labor- ed, each in his own field; and God, everjTaithful to his promises, has owned and blessed. We report no general and powerful revivals . still, no less than ten churches within our bounds have been visited by precious outpourings of the Divine Spirit. It has been in all, to be sure, a still small voice, but interesting and satisfactory in its effects; restoring alienated affections, elevating the tone of piety, and bringing a considerable number to rejoice in the pardoning mercy of God. The churches thus visited are those of Madrid, Massena, Richville, Upper and Lower Norfolk, Hopjdnton, Waddington, Brasher, East Stockholm and Lisbon.” We learn from the report of the Congregational Association of New York, that harmony and peace generally prevail, and that large acces-13 sions have been made to some of the churches; among which are the Second Congregational Church in New York city, the church in Pough- keepsie, Greenbush, Middletown, and Greenwich, N. Y. and Chester, New Jersey. The Consociation of Western New York report that most of their churches are feeble; and that they have had no very extensive revivals. Still, the churches in Jamestown, Evans, Sheridan, Randolph and For- restville, are named as having shared in the blessed effusions of the Holy Spirit. We learn, also, that the Lord has been favorable in blessing the labors of the ministers connected with the Manhattan and Monroe Associations. We have also been much cheered and comforted by the presence and aid of our dear brethren, the delegates from foreign bodies; and by the very encouraging intelligence which they have been able to communicate. From the Rev. Mr. Clarke, delegate from the General Association of Massachusetts, we learn that there are within its bounds about four hundred churches, and more than three hundred and seventy pastors and stated supplies; that they have enjoyed many precious revivals in their churches, principally in connexion with the exertions of the pastors; that there has been among the ministers an increasing sense of the importance of preaching the great distinguishing doctrines of grace, in their practical bearings on human duty and obligation. We would especially record our gratitude to the great Head of the Church, that we have been permitted to enjoy the high satisfaction of receiving our worthy and beloved brethren, Rev. Messrs. Lillie and Machin, delegates from the Congregational Union of Canada West, and for the very cheering intelligence and animating prospects which they present us, in relation to this young and thriftful scion of the Con- gregational Union of England and Wales, with which we have been permitted to hold a most delightful, fraternal correspondence. But as it is proposed to publish their report, we shall make no extracts from it in this place. We would assure these our brethren, and the body they represent, that we most deeply sympathize with them in their righteous struggles for religious liberty, and in their advocacy and defence of those doctrines and usages which we and they derive from one common source. For all our sinfulness and unprofitableness in the work of our loved Redeemer, we would humble ourselves, and implore his forgiving mer- cy ; praying that through his unmerited grace we may be spared, em- ployed in his service, and rendered useful through the coming year, in advancing his glory and the salvation of our fellow-men.14 REPORT OF THE CONGREGATIONAL UNION OF CANADA WEST. The delegation from the Congregational Union of Canada West, beg leave to report:— That the Union which they represent embraces twenty-two ministers, with about an equal number of churches west of Kingston. Most of these churches are so small and feeble as to require assistance from England, which is kindly furnished them by the Colonial Missionary Society, in connexion with the Congregational Union of England and Wales. When, however, the fact is taken into consideration, that the oldest of these churches has not yet been nine years in existence, it is felt that they are under deep obligation to cherish gratitude to a gra- cious God, for the measure of strength which they possess. The past year has been one of much improvement, as compared with any previous period in their short history. God has largely shed his Spirit on several of the churches, and many additions have in con- sequence been made to them, of those who appear to have been bom again ; while it is expected that many more will soon be united. During the past year, eight new stations have been occupied, and five have been added to the number of our ministers; of whom our theological institution has furnished two. Three young brethren, who have just finished their studies at our institution, are about to occupy important spheres, where we hope God will bless them, and make them a blessing. Three places of wor- ship have been erected, or are in course of erection; and several of our churches have made, or expect soon to make considerable approx- imation to self-support. For the purpose of assisting to spread the Gospel among the desti- tute settlers and heathen Indians, a Home Missionary Society has been recently formed in connexion with the Union, which has five agents, to whom it renders a measure of aid, though too small to secure the efficiency which is desirable. Five years have elapsed since measures were taken'for the education of suitable young men for the ministry in our churches, though it is only three years since the Seminary now located at Toronto was formally opened. Seven young brethren have been either wholly or in part pre- pared for the work of the ministry through these means, and are now set- tled or about to be settled. The number of students last session was eight—of whom three have completed their course—and about the same number is expected next session. The institution is sustained partly by15 the liberality of the Colonial Missionary Society, and partly by the vol- untary contributions of our churches and friends. The churches generally have Sabbath Schools connected with them, which are in a prosperous condition. Bible Classes and Tract Distri- bution are also employed by them, with encouraging success. Our influence as a body is also exerted in behalf of the Temperance cause. As a body we feel deeply and anxiously interested on behalf of the colored population among us, which is large, and rapidly increasing. During the past year, it is said that upwards of sixteen hundred fugi- tive slaves have come to Canada West from the United States. These considerations naturally make us sympathize in the measures adopted in the States for their relief and improvement. We rejoice to learn that your Association has employed, and is still employing, its influ- ence on behalf of these injured men. May God inspire the churches of your land generally with a like spirit. Speedily may every yoke be broken, and every soul within your extended bounds be free, civil- ly and spiritually. Our common Christianity will then be vindicated, and the means of its spread throughout the world facilitated. A. LILLIE. T. MACHIN.* o ■523 o a?
