A CORRECTION.
In my article on the Pan-Presbyterian
Council last week the proof reader made
me say that Prof. Wm. P. Armstrong, of
(Princeton, read a most excellent paper
on "The Resurrection of Texas and Historical
Criticism." I hope my brethren
in Texas will not hold me responsible
for that statement or resent it in any
way, though there may be a suggestion
in it. Of course, what I said in my manuscript
was that Prof. Armstrong read a .
paper on "The Resurrection of Jesus and
Historical Criticism," and it was a great
paper.

in remembrance of God's goodness
to us in the past.

Talladega: Rev. F. B. Webb, D. D., was
very generously granted a month's leave
of absence by his congregation in order
that he might assist Rev. T. P. Walton,
who has been canvassing the Synod of
Alabama in the interest of the hniidine'
fund of the Alabama Synodical College
for Women. They have gdne over but
a small part of the Synod and have secured
about one-fourth of the amount
needed. The Synod decided at its meeting
last fall to sell the present college
property and rebuild upon a beautiful
site donated by the citizens of Talladega.
This new site ip a very attractive
one, located in a growing residen
tlal part of the city, and when the
building is completed, the Synod will
have a property of which they may be
Justly proud.

four days at this place assisting in a
meeting. Three services were being
held daily. The attendance was good
and much interest was being manifested.*
One adult had been received and several
children baptized. Rev. William
Denham has lately been elected pastor
for one-half of his time over this church
and the other half at Earle.
Springdale: Following the installation
of Rev. Wm. H. Morrow, pastor of this
church, a series of services was held by

weather which prevailed the greater part
of the time interfered with the attendance.

rH. ' July 14, 1909.
Rev. Charles P. Cable and Elder Lowry,
of the Vineville Church, Macon, held
a meeting of about ten days in June In
the church at Butler. This Church has
no officers, only one or two male members,
the total membership numbering
twelve or fifteen. A few consecrated
women have struggled to keep life in the
little organization. Thev took cniirnaro
from the meeting and organized a Sun- '
day school. This church has not had
preaching in it for years. Is there anything
in any other field of missions that
should appeal to Presbyterians in Georgia
like this?
First Church, Savannah: On the last
Sabbath of June eight adults were received
into the First Church, two of them
receiving baptism. The first Sabbath .in
July two more were received, making
nineteen since the April communion. The
second Sabbath is our summer communion,
and several $re expected to be
received at that time. We had the pleasure
of having Dr. Wm. E. Boggs, of Atlanta,
our efficient moderator of the Assembly,
with us at the prayer meeting
June 30, and a large congregation heard
a splendid address from him on "Prayer."
On the first Sabbath, which was July
fourth, Dr. Boggs preached for us in the ,
evening, a beautiful and powerful Ber- \
mnn nn thn rntn vr? nf Dfn/?l?o1
and notwithstanding the fact that it was
the fourth of July and that with the closing
of the public and private schools
the week previous our own people made
a great exodus from the city to the coast
and the North and abroad, the congregation
that greeted the Moderator was so
very large for an evening service and
the time of year that Dr. Boggs commented
upon it from the pulpit.
Griffin, Osborn Chapel: This flourishing
mission of the First Church has Just
experienced a gracious revival. The
pastor, Rev. W. A. Murray, began the
services Friday, June 25, and preached

uuuuuj uiguu IHUUUajr UUi UCIUVCU
evangelist, Rev. F. D. Hunt, came and
preached every night through July 4.
He preached the sweet Qospel message
with his usual earnestness, unction and
power. A large number of Christians
were led to reconsecrate themselves to
the Master, eight professed their faith
in Christ and one united with our
church. The "visible results" may seem
small, but eternity alone will reveal the
actual results of such faithful preaching.
At the First Church a large congregation
celebrated the Lord's Supper,
and Rev. Mr. Hunt baptized the pastor's
babe. Sunday afternoon Osborn chapel
was dedicated. Mr. Hunt preached the
sermon and the pastor offered the dedicatory
prayer. The Sabbath school had
grown so large as to render more rooms
imperative. So, during, the past winter,
five class rooms were added snd the size <
ui iuo uiniu auuimrium consiaeraDiy increased.
Now we have an excellent modern
Sunday school building and a flourishing
.Sabbath school, which Is a great
blessing to the entire community.
W. A. Murray, Pastor.
