Abstract:
Trustees of Society of Sylvan had requested that Wead connect them with Reverend Hall after a meeting of the Presbytery in Ann Arbor. Interviewed Mr. Hopkins due to his association with Oberlin and doubts about his faith before connecting the two. “His answers were satisfactory, and we consequently ventured to give the recommendation. Mr. H also stated that he intended to put himself under the care of Presbytery as soon as he should obtain his letter.” Responding to the question of the relationship between members of the Presbytery and other ecclesiastical bodies. Describes a previously passed “Old School” resolution (which he did not vote for) “designed to shut out such men.” Affirming that "our presbytery will not receive any Oberlin men without a thorough examination." Notes that Hopkins also “disclaimed the peculiar views of the Unionists – has no sentiments on this subject different from our own.” References the revival of a few nearby churches.
