amendment of this paragraph do not

break the silence of the Confession.
They insist that it shall be declared in
the name and by the authority of God,
so that every one who accepts the Confession
will be obliged to declare It
upon God's authority that "all Infants,
dying in infancy, are regenerated and
saved by Christ." They admit that they

>ext pluce of meeting: Lo.ke Charles
was chosen as the place of the fall
meeting.
Foreign Missions: Presbytery rejoices
in the fact that the contributions
to this cause during the past year are
in excess of those of any previous year,
and that up to March 1, 1912, there had
been a gain of more than $40,000 over
last year, and urged that an earnest
efTort be made in all our churches to
secure subscriptions from every member
for Foreign Missions.
Home Missions: Presbytery is much
gratified to learn, through Dr. Morris,
of the increase in receipts for the Home
Mission work during the year just
closed, amounting to $15,000. An overture
to the General Assembly, asking
that body, in session at Bristol, Tenn.,
next month, "to request, and if need be
to direct the laymen's Missionary Movemoni

United StateB, to broaden the scope of
its work, and particularly to take Into
Its program the consideration and furtherance
of the work assigned to the
Executive Committee of Home Missions
of the General Assembly," was unanimously
adopted.
PlaqnemJne Fund: Presbytery decided
to appropriate the proceeds from the
sale of its school property in Plaquemine,
I^a., amounting to nearly $7,000, to
Silllman Institute, to be used by the
trustees of that Institution in liquidating
its indebtedness and making some
needed repairs. A minority of the Presbytery,
however, favored usine the
rmount, or portion of It, in Home Mission
work within our bounds, and the
decision of the Presbytery has been appealed
from to the Synod, meeting in
Bunkie in November, 1912.
The needs of our local Home Mission
work and of Sllliman Institute were
earnestly and forcibly presented, and
Presbytery was gratified to hear of the
large number of boarding pupils, sixtyseven,
in attendance, and the faithful
work at Silliman under the presidency
of Rev. H. H. Brownlee, and of the
faithful, energetic and encouraging
prosecution of the (Home Missions enterprise
within our bounds by its efficient
chairman. Dr. Hunter.
Our Home Mission fields are now all
supplied except two, while four of our
vacant churches have already, or will
at an early day, establish the pastoral
relation.
The present Board of Trustees of
Silliman Institute was re-elected, also
the Presbytery's Board of Trustees,
with the addition of Mr. R. N. Ross, of
Baton Rouge.
Rey. J. W. Lee, colored evangelist,
laboring at Baton Rouge and Jackson,
under the supervision of Presbytery,
made an encouraging report concerning
his work.
Permanent Committees: The following
are the chairman of the permanent
Committees of Presbytery: Foreign
Missions, Dr. J. T. Allison; Home Missions,
Dr. T. M. Hunter; Christian Education
and Ministerial Relief, Rev. D. F.
(479) 19
Wilkinson; Sabbath School and Publication
and Young People's Societies,
Rev. C. O'N. Martindale; Bible Study,
Rev. E. M. Stewart; Systematic Beneficence,
committee made up of the chairmen
of committees just named.
A cordial vote of thanks was adopted
by the Presbytery for the generous and
bountitul hospitality of the Zachary peo
pie. This having been an Independent
Presbyterian church until within recent
years, its people had never before
had the pleasure of entertaining Presbytery.
In expectation of its meeting with
them they have greatly improved their
church, painting it inside and out, varnishing
the pews, and carpeting the
pulpit and aisles. As it had never been
consecrated to the service of God, a
dedication service was held on Thursday
night, Dr. J. Y. Allison preaching
the sermon, Rev. E. M. Stewart, who
was with us from Sabbath on, making
the dedicatory prayer, and Rev. D. O.
Byers, the pastor, formally dedicating
the building to the worship of the
Triune God.
Presbytery adjourned to meet In Lake
Charles October 22, 1912.

THANKSGIVING PSALM
A Rythmical and Gratefnl Chant.
A teacher in a Terre Haute public
school joins in the chorus:
"Teaching is a business which requires
a great deal of brain and nerve
force. Unless this force is renewed as
fast as expended the teacher Is exhausted
before the close of the year. Many
resort to stimulating tonics for relief.
"For three years I struggled against
almost complete exhaustion, getting
what relief I could from doctors' tonics.
Then in the spring of 1903 I had an
attack of la grippe and malaria which
left me too weak to continue my work.
Medicine failed to give me any relief
a change of climate failed. I thought
I should never be able to go back in
scbool again.
"I ate enough food (the ordinary
meals?white bread, vegetables, etc.)
but was hungry after meals.
"I happened at this ti-me to read an
article giving the experience of another
heacher who had been helped by GrapeNuts
food. I decided to try Grape-Nuts
and cream, as an experiment, fit was a
delightful experience, and continues so
after a year and a half of constant use.
"First, I noticed that I was not hungry
after meals.
"In a few davs that tired feeling left
me. and I felt fresh and bright, instead
of dull and sleepy.
"In three months, more than my usual
strength returned, and IT had gained 15
pounds In weight.
"I finished my year's work without
any kind of tonics?was not absent
from duty even half a day.
"Am Ptill in the best of health, with
all who know me wondering at the improvement.
