Presbyteries
The Presbytery of Western Texas met ,
in Cuero, Texas, Thursday, October 5,
19111 and was opened with a sermon by ,
the retlrmg moderator, Rev. H. L. Pais. (
ley, from Genesis 4:9, "Am I my broth- ,
er's keeper?" There were present 29 ,
ministers and 11 ruling elders repre- j
senting churches. Th? sessions of Pres.
bytery were preceded by a most helpful
conference on evangelism an account
of which will be given elsewhere.
Rev. E. H. Hudson, of Beeville, was
elected moderator and Rev. Thos F.
Gallagher, of San Antonio, temporary
clerk.
Rev. J. H. Bellot, and Rev. Geo C.
Moore were received from the Presbytery
of Paris. A call was presented by
the Yoakum church for the services of
Mr. Bellott as pastor, which was accepted
and a commission was appointed to install
him on the fourth Sabbath in October.
The commission consists of Rev.
J. Ije.ghton Green, Rev. H. L. Paisley and
Ruling Elder W. D. McCurdy. Mr.
Moore will continue the work he has been
engaged in for the past five months as
a missionary in the lower Riio Grande
Valley.
Revs. R. D. Campbell and Elias Tre
vino of the Texas-Mexican Presbytery
and Rev. James Drummond, of the Presbytery
of Fort Worth, were present as
coresiionding members. (
Synod was overtured to appoint a ,
committee to take into consideration the
whole question of the number of Presbyteries,
their boundaries, etc., and report
such recommendations as may seem
wise.
The work of Home Missions was given
careful consideration. The condition
of the work was found to be good;more
workers in the field than ever before;
and the field more adequately served. It
was the conviction of the Presbytery (
however, that only a beginning had been
made and that great opportunities yet
remained. The committee reported a deficit
for the first sIx months of nearly

hint of discouragement and Presbytery
resolved to push the work more aggressively
than ever.
The Presbyterial Evangelist reported
the organization of three new churches
since the last stated meeting, Premont.
Dacosta, and Charco.
It having appeared to Presbytery that
Rev. A. R. Harrison had renounced his
allegiance to the Presbyterian church,
all authority as a minister of the gospel
derived from this Presbytery was withdrawn
from him and hiis name was
stricken from the roll.
Presbytery enjoyed a helpful and inspiring
address from Rev. Robert Knox,
of Korea, and an offering was made for
the foreign Mission worn.
On the matters sent down by the
General Assembly th? Pesbytery voted:
On the Amendment to Confession of
Faith Chapter 10, Section 3, yes; on the
amendment to Rules of Discipline Par.
235, yes; on the amendment to Form of
Government, Par. 94, yes; in regard to
making th? Synod a Court In regular
Gradation, no.
Rev. W. L?. Shepherd, of Port Lavaca,
accepted the call of the Thomaston
church to serv? as pastor, giving them
one-fourth of his time, and the following
commission was appointed to Install him
on Friday before the second Saturday
In December: Revs. J. LeHghton Green
and John B. Hudson and Ruling Kiaer
J. D. Anderson.
Sequin was chosen as the place for the
next stated meetng and the time was
fixed for Wednesday evening on or be.

:rinal sermon on "Spirituality."
Presbytery seems to have contracted
the "Conference Habit." So helpful diid
they find the "Conference on Home Mis.
sibns" at the last stated session and the
"Conference on Evangelism" at this
meeting that it was resolved to hold, the
day previous to the stated Spring Session
a conference on "Church Finances,"
the program to be arranged by the Com.
mittee on Systematic Beneficence.
A hearty vote of thanks was extended
to th? Cuero Church for its abounding
hospitality. It was resolved to hold an
adjourned meeting during the sessions
of Synod i*n Galveston in November.
Rev. S. E. Chandler preached the doctrinal
sermon on the "Divinity of
Christ."
The report to Synod shows forty ministers,
seventy-three churches and six
candidates for the ministry on the roll,
svith seven churches organized this year.
The present Stated Olerk was ordained
by this Presbytery just twelve years
ago. In that time the number of minis,
ters and churches has almost doubled,
rhe Presbytery reported to the Synod
that fall that it consisted of 21 ministers
and 38 churches exclusive of the missionaries
to the Mexicans and the Mex.
luau uuurcues men comprised in tnis
Presbytery and since set off in a separ.
it? Presbytery.
Brooks I. Dickey, Stated Clerk.
The Presbytery of Louisiana met in

D. D., from 1 John 2:12-14.
Officers: Rev. T. M. Hunter, D. D.,
moderator, and Rev. B. L. Price, temporary
clerk, president
Present: Seven ministers and seven
ruling elders. The attendance of elders
was better than for several years.
Home Missions: Much time was devoted
to the report of the Home Missions
Committee. The Presbytery's home
mission work Is being prosecuted In
parishes which are strongholds ol
Romanism, and the progress Is neces.
sarlly slow. As a Presbyterian we can
only stand In our lot and offer to all
who will hear and accept a pure and
free Bible.
Silliman Institute: The trustees ol
this Institution report an enrollment ol
62 boarding pupils, the largest In the
history of the school. A modern system
of water works has been Installed In th?
buildings during the summer, under the
auspices of the Alumnae Association,
The Association has raised for this pur.
pose some seven or eight hundred dollars,
and one of the members of the
Board of Trustees has offered to loan
the Board and Presbytery, without Interest,
what Is lacking?about sixteen
hundred dollars?to complete the work,
Elect Infant Clause: Presbytery tobfc
the following action: While the Presbytery
consents to the overture as the best
that has come to us, we wish o be put
on record as favoring the striking out
of the clause, "who are included In the
election of grace," as It only shifts the
controversy from Infants to Idiots.

Grosse, Tetem, Little Plains, and Wilson
were dissolved, and members transferred
to adjacent churches.
liev. J. V. Black was deposed from the
Gospel ministry, and prohibited from
exercising any of the functions thereof,

abandoned the work of the ministry, and

the citation of Presbytery to appear before
it, in accordance with Chap. VIII,
Sec. 4, Rules of Discipline.
The Stated Clerk was directed to make

of the South, and the Christian

paper In connection wth the Presbyterian
church in the U. S. A.
