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. Walter L. Lingle. ALABAMA. I Birmingham: On Sunday, July 11, 1909, will begin the anniversary services celebrating the twenty-flfth anniversary of the Second Presbyterian Church, and the tenth of the present pastorate. The recent improvements on pur church will also be at thli time completed. We shall feel "very much disappointed If : PRESBYTERIAN OF THE SOU' each member does not enter into these services with thanksgiving and enthusiasm in remembrance of God's goodness to us in the past. U. D. Mooney, Pastor. M. R. McNeill, Clerk of Session. 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. ARKANSAS. Wynne: Rev. W. H. Richardson spent 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 Rev. J. E. Wylie, evangelist for Washburn. Presbytery. The unusual hot weather which prevailed the greater part of the time interfered with the attendance. There were three additions during the services. The installation was conducted by Dr. R. B. Willis and Prof. E. F. Shannon, hoth of Favftttovillp. Th#> for mer preached the sermon and charged tue pa3tor and the latter presided and charged the congregation. GEORGIA. Atlanta, Central Church: A very delightful communion service was held on the first Sunday in July. Since the last communion there have been additions to the church almost every Sunday. During Ihe three months twenty-eight members have been received, fifteen by letter and thirteen on confession of faith. Dr. Ogden was absent a few days last week in attendance upon the Young People's Missionary Conference at Montreat, where he made two addresses. ?First Church: The names of thirty new. members, who have united with the First Church during the quarter since tha loot Anmmiininn worn nrinloH nn calendar last Sunday. Dr. Llngle is planning to spend the month of August in England and Scotland; Dr. T. E. Converse will supply the First Church during his absence. 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 Qlin^O TT Tllnkf 1 1 > 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. hu I *- I.
