REPORT OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION, TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY, May, 1831. In addition to the fifty-five beneficiaries, reported last year, thirteen have been taken under patronage, in the course of the year, ending the 19th inst. Of this number, two have been dropped, because they did not appear to possess, in a satisfactory degree, all those traits of character, which are desirable, if not indispensable, in candidates for the sacred Ministry. One, who had been licensed some time previously, has been recently ordained, and located, as stated supply, in an interesting but feeble congregation, in Pennsylvania. pamphlet form; copies of which may be had by application to the Cor. Sec'y and General Agent. From this summary, we give the following items, as matter of information, viz: "No beneficiary is allowed more than one hundred dollars, annually, from our funds, except in extraordinary cases, and if any beneficiary receives aid from other sources, he is to report the nature and amount of the same, once a year, to this Board. "As a general rule, the preference is given to those applicants for patronage, who have made the greatest advancement in their studies. "Every beneficiary is considered as always on probation; and, if, at any time, he manifest such defects in capacity, temper, general manners, or piety, as would render his introduction into the Ministry of doubtful utility, the Board feel themselves religiously bound to make no further appropriations, in his case. The whole number, now in immediate connection with the Board, is sixty-five: The number connected with it, through "No written obligation is required of the medium of the Presbyteries and other our beneficiaries, to refund the money exauxiliaries, cannot be accurately given, pended by the Board in their education; as but few reports have been received. because we act upon the principle that The Board of the Synod of New York, the Church, as a moral parent, ought to have thirteen under their care, and have provide for the education of such of her raised $1,399 58 in the last year. Re- sons as are indigent, and yet may, proports from 22 Presbyteries have been re-bably, become her faithful servants in ceived; from which it appears that these Presbyteries have 45 beneficiaries in training, and have expended, in their support, $2,546 60. Whole number of beneficiaries, so far as reported, 123; Funds raised, $9,471 87. Twenty-three are at Theological Seminaries; twelve are in Colleges; and the remainder in preparatory schools. Of the talents and piety of the young men, we may say, that, from all the information which we have been able to obtain concerning their conduct and proficiency in study, there is good reason to hope, that they will prove, under favour of Divine Providence, useful labourers in the Lord's vineyard. Some of them, we know, are distinguished scholars; and we are happy to find that they seem, generally, to take a deep interest and an active part, in those devotional exercises, and labours of love, which become their christian profession and holy vocation. GENERAL RULES. the ministry: but we, nevertheless, desire every beneficiary to remember, that his duty to the Church, to his younger brethren who seek the same holy office, and to his Saviour, requires, that, so soon as he shall be able, he should refund: and this understanding is made known to the young men, when received under patronage. Those who voluntarily decline entering the ministry, are required to refund, with interest; and their willingness to do so, is signified by engaging to conform to our rules. “Any individual, or congregation, by paying annually, a sum, not less than one hundred dollars, has the privilege of se lecting the beneficiary who shall enjoy the benefit of the endowment, provided, his qualifications be approved by the Board. "Young men, applying for aid, must furnish satisfactory testimonials, from two or more ministers or elders of the Presbyterian church, or from some Presbytery, of their piety, talents, good deA system of rules, or by-laws, design-portment, and real necessities: and they ed to promote economy, convenience, and are required to furnish, as often as shall consistency in the transaction of business, be deemed proper, during their preparahas been adopted, and published, togeth-tory course, a written declaration of their er with the constitution of the Board, in views and purposes, in relation to the |
