Valuable Hoods Recovered—A Sharp De
tective and Enterprising Officer.
A short time since a number of fine
dresses aud au amount of money belonging
to a lady living at the residence of Mr. Jas.
H. Johnston, on Gaston street, opposite the
Park, were stolen. No clue could be
found to the tblef, nor was any one sus-
peoted. On last Saturday night Mr. John
ston stated the case to Mr. Waring Russell,
who advised him to employ officer E. Men
del to take the case iu hand. He was sent
for im mediately and had the whole matter
explained to him,when he set to work at once,
first going to Magistrate Hart for a search
warrant for the premises of a colored girl
who was in the employ of Mr. Johnston. The
girl denied having anything to do with it,
aud asserted that Bhe knew nothing about
the theft. Mendel, however, took her into
custody and carried her towards the bar
racks, but before arriving there he ques
tioned her closely, and told her she would
probably get ten to twenty years, Ac., when
she confessed that she knew who took the
articles, but that she had not done so her
self. She conducted the officer to where
the clothiDg was, and told him that the
money was buried under Mr. Johnston’s
stable. Upon a search the entire sum of
money was found, which, -together with the
clothing, amounted to five hundred dollars.
This is quick work, and reflects credit
upon Mr. Mendel, who, by the way, is the
oldest officer in Savannah. He took charge
of the case at 10:30 o’clock Saturday night,
and by 4 o’clock Sunday had recovered
every dollar’s worth of the property lost.
Going to the Centennial.
The Savannah Volunteer Guards held a
large and enthusiastic meeting at the ar
mory last night, to take definite action in
regard to visiting Charleston on the 28th of
June, to participate in the celebration of
the Fort Moultrie Centennial. The com
mittee appointed at the IaBt meeting to in
quire into the feasibility of the trip made a
favorable report, and after a great deal of
discussion on the subject, and a thorough
understanding of the matter by the mem
bers, the question was put to a vote aud
unanimously adopted, amid much applause
and rejoicing.
A committee was appointed to visit
Charleston, and perfect final arrangements
for a suitable place for the corps to make
headquarters while iu the city. m
The Guards, it will be remembered, were
stationed on the islands near Charleston for
some months during the war, where they
participated in several hard fought battles,
and lost some of their best men in the de
fense of our Bister city. This, no doubt,
inspires a greater desire to visit the oity
where they will meet many of the gallant
troops who were with them in the historic
days of the past.
A Pleasant Entertainment In Prospect.
The ladies of the Episcopal Orphan’s
Home, a noble charity, which commends
i tself for the vast amount of practical good
it has accomplished, desiring to raise ad
ditional funds to assist in defraying the ex
penses of the institution, propose giving a
series of tableaux at the Theatre%n Tues
day evening next, May 30th. In this enter
tainment, we havo no hesitancy in saying,
our community will have a rare treat, nor
do we have any doubt but that it will at
tract a large and fashionable audience. In
dependent of the worthiness of the object, the
the amount of personal enjoyment that will
be sure to reward every attendant will serve
to draw a large house. A number of Savan
nah’s fairest daughters and popular young
gentlemen have kindly consented to take
part in this affair, and the arrangements
beiDg in such competent hands as the noble
lady managers of the Home, it may he as
sured that the subjects will be well seleoted,
and that the various tableaux will be given
in the most satisfactory and creditable
style. Remember this entertainment is as
signed for next Tuesday night, so if you
would enjoy the evening make no other en
gagement and prepare yourself to attend,
taking with you your lady friends.
Hnrgrove and Bryant.
It will be remembered that when Bryant
was nominated for chairman of the Radical
State Central Committee, Hargrove, in a
very bitter speech, “skinned him alive.” It
will also be remembered that Bryant Baid,
after he was made chairman, that according
to the constitution, he would run the offices
in Georgia now. Well, we notice Mr. Har
grove has been appointed Postmaster at
Rome, Georgia. Wonder if that was run
by Bryant and his little committee.” Let
Uiwrt ond Vxia “lit.tla nnmmittflfl” ran S3 fast
him and his “little committee” run as fast
as they want to, for they will soon run them
selves in the ground.
To Be Carried Higher Up.
We have published the decision of the Su
preme Court of Georgia affirming the de
cision of the Superior Court of Chatham
county, refusing an injunction prayed for by
Wayne, administrator, et al., to restrain the
City Council of Savannah from the collec
tion of certain taxes which are alleged to be
levied in violation of the constitution of the
State. It was thought that thiB decision
would be accepted as final, but it is now re
ported that the parlies intend cirrying the
case to the Supreme Court of the United
States.
The Fire Department.
Thus says the Dawson Journal: “The
citizens ot Savannah were very attentive to
us, and did all in their power to make our
sojourn with them agreeable. Besides many
other courtesies, they brought out their
splendid Fire Department and showed us
how the Dawson Hotel might have been
saved last winter if we had had the engines,
the men and the watei.”
At the Charleston races, the finest thor
oughbreds in the country are to be seen,
and the condition of the horses is a wonder
to all who behold them, and it has only re
cently been discovered that they can be
kept in this condition by mixing in the food
of horses a table-spoonful of Simmons’s

The sixth annual regatta of the Begatta
Association of the State of Georgia took
place at Montgomery yesterday, and wa»
well attended. The weather was delightful,
and the visitors were charmed with the day
■pent at that beantiiul resort, the site of the
club house of the Association—Montgomery.
It was anticipated, from the number of
entries, that the sport would be exciting and
interesting, and in a measure these antici
pations were realizel. The attendance of
ladies wks very fine, and a most pleasant
day was spent by all. The steamer Katie
had been engaged to follow the fleet, with
members of the association, their families
and guests, and the rnn was greatly enjoyed
by all, being enlivened by the mnsic of the
Savannah Guards band.
The entries were as follows:
First Class Dream, entered by J. R.
Sheldon; length 35 feet 4 inches.
Rainbow, entered by Commodore Ander
son; length — feet — inches.
Sunshine, entered by 8. P. Goodwin;
length 34 feet; time allowed, 2 minutes.
Vernon, entered by J. M. Schley; length
31 feet 6 inches; time allowed, 5:05.
Coquette, entered by J. C. King; length
30 feet; time allowed. 8 minutes.
Georgie, entered by D. Kemps; length 30
feet; time allowed, 8 minutes.
Secoxd Class.—uuiding Star, entered by
Vice Commodore Appleton* length 25 feet
4 inches.
Sophronia, entered by F. M. Hull; length
22 feet 10 inches; time allowed, 3:45.

feet 8 inches; time allowed, 5:30.

Merrimac, entered by Ambrose.
Fan Tail, entered by J. W. Anderson.
Punctually at 12:20 p. m., the signal for
the yachtB to put themselves in readiness
for the contest was given. Teu minuteB
later the association gun was fired, the
signal for the yachts to get off, and prompt
ly they responded—the Dream being firBt
to cross the line at 12:38:5, followed by the
Georgia, Vernon, Coquette and Sunshine.
Rounding the point, the Georgia soon took
the lead of the fleet, with the Coquette clhse
up to her. The wind being light west-
southwest, it was soon decided the larger
yacht would have but a alight chance, tor
the Georgia shortly had things her own
way and rapidly left her competitors in the
rear.
The most interesting part was the tussel
between the Vernon and Dream, for first
one had the advantage, then the other.
When off Pine Island the Coquette gave up
the race, the Georgia having rounded the
buoy on her way home.
In the second class the Wave took the
lead at the first, and came home an easy
winner. She was handled admirably.
Of the third class Tallulah being well
sailed soon took the lead, and came home
in good time, also an easy winner.
For violation of Rale XII the Sophronia was
fined $10, the violation being a failure to
haul down her flag after giving np the race.
The Mary Anna was fined $5 for the same
neglect.

first class boats, with the Vernon second.
Iu the second class the Wave takes the
f iize, and in the third class the Tallulah,
n the batteaux race, the Shoo Fly comes in

The occasion was quite pleasant, although
the race towards the close was not as ex
citing as oonld have been desired, the Geor
gie going right away from her competitors.
Nothing, however, occurred to mar the
pleasures of the day, and Bhortly after dUBk
the entire party returned safely and in good
spirits to the city.
Matters and Things Laconically Noted.
The Police Court matinee yesterday was
barren of particular interest.
Col. H. H. Jones, of the Maoon Telegraph,
iB in the city, attending the General Assem
bly.
The sessions of the General Assembly at
the First Presbyterian Church are largely
attended.
Well, after all there is very little difference,
sayB BlofkinS, between a Catholic and a
Baptist—one uses candles, the other dips.
There will be a fine opportunity to enjoy
a splendid fishing frolic by going up the
Ogeechee canal to-morrow on the barge
Twilight.
Colonel John Screven, of SavanDah, will
deliver the annual address before the socie
ties at the University commencement in
Athens next August.
The Girardey Opera House, Augusta, is
undergoing thorough renovation and im
provement, in anticipation of a lively the
atrical season. How about the Savannah
Theatre ?
The young fellow who concluded from its
name, “Centennial Cocktail,” that he could
put a hundred of them under his veBt, will
probably change his opinion when the Mayor
reaches’ for his spare V to-day.
There is a prospect that the alarmingly
rapid growth of the Smith family will be
checked, as a cute Yankee haB gotten a pa
tent for a “Smith Boiler and Crusher,”
which he proposes to exhibit during the
Centennial.
The Yonng Fenian Base Ball Club of Au
gusta say the game plaved at Savannah on
tho 30th of April, with the Rainbows of
this city, did not decide the junior
championship of the State, as it requires
the best two out of three to do this.
Last night the Savannah Volunteer
Guards serenaded Judge Robert Ould, who
is the guest of Gen. A. B. Lawton, and
Gen. D. H. Hill, who is the guest of J. W.
Lathrop, Esq. Both gentlemen responded
to the compliment by short speeches.
The ex-Mayor of Kidderminster, England,
who is on a visit to our city, visited Mont
gomery yesterday, and was so charmed with
the fascinating and affectionate sandflies
that, it is reported, he proposes to take a
colony back with him. We won’t grumble
if he takes them all.
The Oglethorpe Light Infantry were the
guests of exempt honorary member Charles
Gassman last evening, and assisted him in
disposing of the mammoth loaf of bread
won by him on the first of May. The bread
was very dry, and it required a large bowl
of punch and a keg of lager to make it
palatable.
We have repeatedly asserted that Savan
nah is free from bars, and yesterday when
a smart young man reproached ns for not
having a full account in the News of Col.
Lester’s oration before the Young Men’s
Literary Society, on Monday night, to which
he “had listened with great interest,” we
were convinoed our assertion was well
founded.

FIFTH DAY’S SESSION—INTEREST
ING REPORT.
The “Fas” Qaestlea Again Under Die*
cnialan.
The General Assembly was convened at
nine o'clock yesterday morning, and the
session was opened by prayer from the
Moderator.
After the disposition of regular routine
business, reports were announced in order.
The committee to whom was referred the
subject of the nature and functions of the
church, presented a very elaborate and
thorough discussion of the matter, and
closed by offering the following paper and
requesting its adoption by the General'As-
Bembly of the Preshyteriau Church in the
United Stales, held in St. Louis, Missouri,
May, 1875, the following paper was adopted,
viz :
“Whereas, The General Assemble of the
Presbyterian Church in the United States
did, at its first organization in 1861, and
also at various times since, formally and
distinctly declare its convictions as
to the natnre aDd functions of the
Chnrch of the Lord Jesns Christ, es
pecially as to its non-secnlar and non-
political character; and, whereas, notwith
standing this it may be that certain expres
sions have been inadvertently admitted
into some of the papers on our records,
which, as it is alleged, are not consistent
with the well considered and formal views
aforesaid; therefore.
Resolved, That this subject be referred to
a committee ot those whose duty it shall be
to make a careful examination and make
report to the next General Assembly to the
end that no vestige of anything inconsis
tent with the clearly defined position of our
General Assembly may be left to impair the
testimony of our church upon this vital
point.
And the General Assembly of the year
1876 having received the report of commit
tee above mentioned, and having dnly con
sidered the same, deem it suitable, in view
of all the circnmataDces and all the interests
involved, to make the following declaration:
1. We solemnly reaffirm the explicit and
formal statement sSt forth at the time of
the organization of our General Assembly
in 1861, in an “address to the chnrches ot
Jesns Christ throughont the earth.” This
document clearly and forcibly details our
position concerning the nature and fnnetions
of the chnrch as a spiritual body, and,
therefore, “non-secnlar and non-political.”
2. Inasmuch as some incidental expres
sions, nttered in times of great public ex
citement, are found upon our records, and
have been pointed ont in the report of the
committee aforesaid, which seem to be
ambiguous or inconsistent with the above
declarations and others of like import, this
assembly does hereby disavow them where-
ever found, and do not recognize such as
forming auy part of the well considered,
authoritative teachings or testimony of our
chnrch.
In regard to a statement found in the nar
rative of 1864, and which is in the following
words, viz :
“ The reports of all the Presbyteries indi
cate an increasing interest in the spiritual
welfare of onr colored population. The
long continued agitations of our adversa
ries have wrought within ns a deeper con
viction of the divine appointment of do
mestic servitude, and have led to a clearer
comprehension of the duties we owe to the
African race. We hesitate not to affirm that
it is the peculiar mission of the Southern
Chnrch to conserve the institution of sla
very and make it a blessing both to master
and slave. We could not, if we would,
yield np these four millions of immortal
beings to the dictates of fanaticism and the
menaces of military power. We distinctly
recognize the inscrutable Providence which
brought this benighted people into our midst,
and we shall feel that we have not discharged
our Bolemn trust until we have used every
effort to bring them under the saving in
fluence of the gospel of Christ.” We judge
it proper to say,
1. By declaring the institution of
slavery to be of “divine appointment,”
the assembly must not bo understood
as expressing the opinion that it was or-
d&iued of God as a positively divine and
obligatory institute of society for all com
munities, but simply that, as it was recog
nized and enforced by the law of the Con
federate States, and was an existing relation
prevailing throughout its boundaries, it was
in the sense of all established civil relations,a
matter of divine appointment for thq time
being in the midst of the people of those
States.
2 For the full explanation of the ex
pression that it was the peculiar mission of
the Southern Church to conserve the insti
tution of slavery, and especially as to the
peculiar circumstances under which it was
inadvertantly admitted into the narrative
of the state of religion in 1864, we refer to
this report now made to this assembly.
From all that is known to us as to the
meaning intended by the assembly which
adopted that paper, as well aB from the con
test itself, it is manifest that its true in
tent was not to assert that it was
the duty of the church to conserve
the institution of slavery in the
sense of perpetuating it. a word
never used by it in reference to this subject,
bnt to make the best of the relation and ar
rangement as it is existed, and by the ad
ministration of that gOBpel which is entrust
ed to the church, “make it a blessing both to
master and slave.” This view is further
confirmed by the consideration that it
biiDgs, hewtver ambiguous or even
unsuitable in its common acceptation, this
expression into harmony with the formal
and carefully prepared declaration of our
church on this very point in 1861:
“The policy of its existence or non exist
ence is a question which belongs exclusively
to the state; we have to-night no right to en
join it as a duty or condemn it as a sin.”
In our General Assembly of 1865
it was declared that the ad
dress of 1861 “contains the only full,
unambiguous, deliberate and authoritative
exposition of our views in regard to this
matter,” and this was introduced for the
purpose of disavowing by implication an
interpretation aDd meaning attached to the
expression us d in 1864, which was never in
tended.
By the doctrioe announced in that address
wo abide, as the view which has always pre
vailed in our church, and it is now expressly
reaffirmed for the satisfaction of all whom
it may concern.
The reading of the report gave rise to
considerable desultory discussion, after
which, on motioD, it was received, ordered-
to be docketed, and its discussion assigned
for the second order of business this morn
ing
Rev. John B. Adger, Chairman of the
Committee of Foreign Missions, to whom
was recommitted the report npon missions,
submitted by the Standing Committee on
the first day’s session, submitted the fol
lowing :
The assembly having recommitted this re
port with instructions the Standing Com
mittee now return it, and recommend for
adoption (along with the same) the follow
ing resolutions, to wit:
1. That this General Assembly, after foil
consideration of the question brought be
fore it in the above report of the Standing
Committee as to the alternatives between
which we have to choose, of endeavoring to
maintain merely onr present hold of the
missionary work, or of retrenchment on the
one hand or prndent and cautions yet firm
and steady progress on the other, are con
vinced that to stand still or to go backwards
a single step are alike impossible if we
would save the work from rain and onr
chnrch from dishonor, and that there is
nothing else we can say to our executive
committee, except that in reliance on the
grace of our Master and the faithful zeal of
our ministers and elders and people, yonng
as well as old, female as well as male, we do
bid the committee go forward, wisely, pru
dently, courageously, hopefully, trustfully
in the glorious work committed to its
hands.
2. That notwithstanding the debt of
$10,000, which still remains to be paid on
foreign missionary work, has the manitest
seal of onr Lord’s most gracious approba
tion, and that onr church though coming
very far Bhort of its full duty, is evidently
on the upward march on this matter; that
this assembly commends the increasing
liberality of your churches, our ladies and
onr Sunday schools, and that it earnestly
exhorts all to aim at raising at the very leaBt
$75,000 for this sacred canse dnnng the cur
rent year.
3. That the Executive Committee of For
eign Missions for the year to come shill
consist of the Rev. J. Leighton Wilson, D.
D., Secretary; Rev. Richard Mcllvaine, D.
D., Co-ordinate Secretary and Treasurer;
Rev. J. G. Hamner, D. D., Rev. John Ley-
burn, D. D., Rev. J. G. Bullock, D. D., Rev.
J. A. Lefevre, D. D., Rev. W. A. Mnrkhand,
Judge J. A. Inglis, C. F. McKay, Esq., J.
Harman Brown, Esq., G. Ohear, Esq., J. L.
Weeks, Esq. and G. H. Anderson, Esq.
On motion, the supplementary report was
received and adopted.
Mr. J. B. Camer offered a resolntion urg
ing renewed interest on the part of the dif
ferent Presbyteries in the mission work, and
a determination to raise the required $75,-
000.
THE FAS COUNCIL.
At ten minntes after twelve o'clock the
Moderator annouuced the disenssion of
the report of bills and overtures, and the
resolutions offered by Dr. Robinson in refer
ence to the Pan Council, to be in order, and
that Judge Estes, of Memphis, had the floor.
Resolutions were offered to limit the
speeches on this subject to ten minntes, to
close the entire disenssion in an boar, then
an honr and a half, Ac., and considerable
debate ensued, and amendments and sub
stitutes were increasing, when Rev. Mr.
Brinson, of Texas, in a few remarks, moved
to lay the entire matter on the table. The
motion prevailed, and the discussion was
then opened, Jndge Estes tsking the floor.
His speech was principally confined to a
disenssion of constitutional questions, in
which the very points were present
ed in » most logical and analytical
manner. The speaker demonstrated by a
thorough analyzation of the constitution of
the Pan Council that there was no possible
danger to be incurred in entering this oonn-
oil, and that general good would be accom
plished. The Southern Chnrch wonld be
relieved of many erroneous impressions
that now exist concerning her, and at the
same time her sphere of nse fulness wonld
be enlarged- He also contended that the
constitution of the ohurch expressly author-
» to It
hoped that the church wonld be represented
in it. *
Rev. Dr. R. B. Mallard, of New Orleans
followed in opposition to the scheme. His
principal objection was to its imprac
ticability and great expense. He had
made a calculation, and ascertained
that to send delegates to that council
wonld cost $8,028. Who wss to meet this ex
pense? Wonld it not be better to keep this
money among onrselves i He was also op
posed to it on aoeonnt of its dangeronsness.
He spoke on this line for about fifteen
minntes.
Rev. J. V. Logan, of Kentucky, spoke
earnestly in opposition to the me&snre.
Rev. J. Rice Bowman, of Virginia, called
attention to the fact that there had been
some disenssion in regard to the expense of
sending delegates to this conncil. He bad
been making a little calculation and this
was the result: The expenses of this Gen
eral Assembly were $10,000; they sat ten
days; this was at the rate of $1,000 per day;
tLeir session lasted on an average
five hoars a day, the expense
of which was two hundred cl ■liars.
Now, if a member spoke two hours, the ex
pense of his speech was sufficient to send a
delegate to Edinburg to this conned, and
every member who spoke ten minntes had
the satisfaction of .knowing that his speech
cost over $3 33.
This little mathematical information
created some diversion favorable to the ad
vocates of the measure in a way.
General D. H. Hill then took the floor, and
whilst in the midst of a facetious disenssion
of the abnormal character of the scheme wap
reminded by the Moderator that the hoar
for devotional exerciaes bad arrived, and
that he ccnld have the privilege of the floor
at the opening of the djscnssion this morn
ing.
After singing and prayer, the assembly
then adjourned until 9 a. m. to-day.
NIQHT SESSION—INTERESTING CEREMONIES.
The announcement in yesterday’s News
that Rev. Dr. Girardeau wonld be formally
inaugurated ae Professor of Didactic and
Polemic Theology at the Theological Semi
nary at Columbia, South Carolina, attracted
to the First Presbyterian Church a very
large congregation. The reputation of Dr.
Girardeau as an eloquent speaker and eru
dite gentleman excised a general interest to
hear him on this occasion, and a larger con
gregation than was present last evening has
seldom been seen in any one of onr chnrches
is this city on any occasion.
The ceremonies, after the nsnal rontine
preliminaries, were opened by the address
of Dr. Stoart Robinson, of Lonisville, Ky.,
who delivered the charge in his well known
impressive manner, in behalf of the Assem
bly.
Dr. Girardeau responded in a very elabor
ate and eloquent inaugural, his sabject be
ing: ^ “Theology as a Science Involving the
Infinite as an Element.” He opened his
address as follows :
Fathers and Brethren of the Assembly :
Did not usage require that something be
said touching my induction into the chair,
I would prefer to he silent npon that subject.
A|few words will, I trust, suffice for the
demands of the occasion, and I shall pass on
to the discussion of a more congenial topic.
The act just performed in your presence
scarcely needs comment—it speaks for
itself. Yet it is proper that I should say it
has been done withont reserve. I accept
yonr standards in the sense in which they
were construed by the old school church in
1837 and 1838, and in which they are noto
riously understood by the Southern Presby
terian Chnrch. Accustomed for years to
teach those venerable documents in the pnl-
pit, the Sabbath school, the Bible class and
the family, it occasions me no difficulty to
bind them thus solemnly npon the con
science. It is only to repeat what was once
done, when I stood np with profound emo
tion to assume my ordination vows. I have
no particle of sympathy with the infidel
cant which prates of the tyranny of creeds
and the decay of “crumbling theologies.”
On the contrary, I fully subscribe to the
necessity of confessions and symbols, as a
testimony to the truth of God, and as a
bond of union between the faithful wit
nesses for Christ. Still, I feel bound in
honesty to express the opinion, that as there
is a possibility in the future ol more and
more perfectly conforming our doctrinal
standards to the Word of God as the su
preme and infallible rale of faith and prac
tice, some wise and carefully guarded pro
vision to that effect should be made in the
constitution of onr church; and also to
state that as such a provision exists for the
amendment of our governmental standards,
one is at liberty to discuss the necessity or
expediency of changes in them, it being at
the same time understood that until they
are duly made the practice of the chnrch
ought to be in accordance with the existing
law.
I woul avail myself of this occasion to
tender to my able and honored brethren of
the Faculty of the Seminary my grateful
acknowledgments for the welcome to their
sacred academic fellowship which the; have
been pleased to extend, and to express the
hope that the fraternal intercourse with
them which it has been my privilege already
to BDjoy, may know no unhappy interrup
tion. An obvious delicacy restrains mo
from speakiDg of the present with its living
actors, but I may be indulged in a brief al
lusion to the past, and especially to those
who, once connected with this institution,
have rested from their toils for Christ’s
kmgdom and truth upon earth, and have
taken their seats among the general assem
bly on high.
I esteem it a joy that the school of sacred
learning, in which I have been called to
occupy a place, is that at whose mater
nal breasts I first drew my knowledge
of theology. There it was my privi
lege to sit at the feet of Dr. George Howe
the erueite and accomplished scholar,
and Dr. A. W. Leland—the Bacred orator,
endowed by Providence with rich and splen
did gifts. The grand head, the classic face,
the organ-like voice, the majestic elocution,
the fervent and evangelical delivery of
truth, all matters of tradition now, for he
has been gathered to his fathers, and sleeps
in Jesus. At the same time it was my hap
piness, with my fellow students, to listen to
the eloquent aDd powerful preaching of
James H. Thornwell and Benj. M. Palmer,
whose pulpits were additional professor
ships of theology to the favored pupils of
the seminary. I blush at the thonght that
the chair to which I have been called, and
which I have relnctantly consented to as
cend, was subsequently filled by both these
distinguished servants of the church—by
one provisionally for a brief period, and by
•the other for a term of yearB. Yes, I blush
to venture into a seat which Thornwell illu
minated by his ample learning, his pro
found genius, and his exquisite tact for in
struction. He shone, in’ the ecclesiastical
firmament, a brilliant star of the first mag
nitude, which blazed the more lustrously
as all too swiftly it souk to its setting in a
dark and frowning horizon; and although,
alas ! it disappeared from onr straining eyes,
It has left behind a trail of light which lin
gers a wake of glory upon the scene of his
last labors, and the chnreh of his passionate
love. Plato thanked God that he was per
mitted to live in the age of Socrates, and
no youthful jlover of theological truth who
ever sat under the teachings of Thornwell
would be ashamed to confess a kindred
gratitude.
But though he he dead, yet shall he, by
the grace of Providence, yet Bpeak in the
place in which his eloquent tongue disconrses
no more. Had be survived to complete the
labors so auspiciously and magnificently be
gun, the Calvin of our Southern Presbyte
rian Chnrch would have prodneed a work
which wonld have been to us what the im
mortal inatitute of the Christian religion
was to its age, and npon which the encomi
um, contained in the line of Mar’ial, might
justly have been pronounced ;
“ Unum pres cunctis fama loquatur opus;”
at least, the great work of the illustrious
Princeton theologian wonld not now, save
as to the doctrine of the chnrch, be without
a peer as a comprehensive modern recast of
theology. What he has left will yet, I trust,
make its mark upon the ColnmbiaSeminary,
and the grand analyses and comprehensive
principles of Revealed Trnth he has em
bodied in his. writings be infused into the
minds of the students of that institution.
It will be a labor of love for one who has
studied in the school of this master—and it
was the school of Christ—though he may
follow with no equal pace, nay, at a long
interval behind, endeavor np to the bent of
his ability to continue its methods and in
culcate its doctrines.
The communications which have been pre
sented to the assembly render it unneeessary
lor me to allnde to the great reluctance with
which I entered npon toe dnties of this po
sition ; but I take leave to say that, in their
snsception, I acted not from choice, bnt in
obedience to the repeated call of my breth
ren. Now that the trust is assumed, nothing
remains bnt that I bring to it what in
dustry and ability the Head of the Church
has granted me. Discarding all de
pendence upon fleshly wisdom, and impli
citly relying upon the unction from the Holy
One, who teacbeth all things, I not unwil
lingly dedicate myself to the performance
of this office. Profonndly conscious of in
sufficiency for these responsibilities, I am
neverthelesa comforted in part by the con
viction that the the love of the trnth which
has never been a subordinate paasion of my
heart, has not diminished with the lapse of
years. I can sincerely adopt the language
in whieh the great scholar, Sir William
Jones, has beautifully paraphrased a noble
passage of Berkeley's Siris ;
“Before thy mystic altar, Heavenly Truth,
I kneel in msnhcod, as I knelt in youth;
There let me kneel, till this dnll form decay,
And life’s last shade is brightened by the ray!
Then shall my sonL now lost in elands below,
at bounds, i
Soar withont 1
, withont consuming glow. ’
When Dr. Thornwell was inaugurated into
his professorship in the seminary, he pro
nounced a discourse in which he discussed
all the great aspects of theology—its na
ture, its scope, its methods, its distributive
principle, and its importance. That address
is extant in his writings, and however ap
propriately to the circumstances of this oc
casion one might submit his own views npon
these subjects, the fact, whioh has been men
tioned deters ms from so nngracefnl and
supererogatory an effort. I shall, therefore,
content myself with inviting attention to
the disenssion of a more specific question.
It wonld be impossible to follow the elo
quent gentleman in bis learned discussion
of this metaphysical subject; and it is
scarcely necessary for ns to say that he
handled it in the most masterly maimer,
enohainiug the dose attention of his audi
tors for over an hoar and more. In oon-
otiutoo, Im MMrtid
ently to reason about God is noi to dishonor
Him, not to do so is to dishonor ourselves.
This is the scienoe of sciences which the
theological instructor is called to teach. It
deals with tht high problems of the infinite,
th# unchangeable, the eternal, as wsll as
with questions adjusted to the measures of
the finite intelligence. It lays under tribute
every other science, subordinates its lessons
to its supreme religious end, and recipitn-
la ting the res ~>urces of all into its own grand
unity, it offers the collected results in ador
ing worship before the altar of God. Ex
ploring three worlds in the scope of its
mighty induction, examining by its analysis
the doctrines of Natural Religion, and the
sublimer principles of Redemption, it em*
ploys its comprehensive synthesis in t! e
construction or a system whioh refuses to te
a cold and formal digest, and rises, step by
step, into an immortal epic, moving to the
passionate no r es of a triumphal anthem and
pouring Us rich and thrilling dexologies into
t‘ e ear of the Triune God. Not confined
within temporal limits, death will lay no ar
rest upon its quest of truth, but translated
with the glorified church iuto the eternal
sphere, it will develop its principles
through the everlasting ages. The infinite
perfections of God will be its text-book, Re
demption its transcendent theme, Heaven
its seminary, and Eternity its time of study.
