Church." At the close of this address
the Presbytery expressed Its appreciation
by a rising vote of thanks.
Reports from our 'Executive Com- *
mlttees show a falling off In receipts
for some of the causes, due doubtless
to the fact that our strongest churches
were vacant during the year. Some

Overtures: The Presbytery overtured
the Assembly to change the location
of the office of the committee on
Christian and Ministerial Relief from
Louisville, K>\, to some city in Georgia
or South Carolina, and to change
section iii., chapter x. of the Confession
of Faith to read: 'Infants dying
in infancy are included in the election
of grace, regenerated and saved by
Christ, through the Spirit, who worketh
when and where and how he
pleaseth. So also are all other persons
who are incapable of being outwardly
called by the 'ministry of tihe
Word." The Presbytery suggests this
change in case the pending amendment
touching infant salvation is rejected.
It also overtured the Assembly, in
case the overtures touching a Judicial
Commission sent down last year be rejected
by the Presbyteries, to prepare
and send down to the Presbyteries an
overture which will allow the Assembly
at its own discretion to commit
cases for trial to a commission to be
appointed by itself yearly to adjudicate
all judicial cases.

byterian College of South Carolina,
Chicora College, Davidson and the
Thornwell Orphanage made encouraging

doing to the attention of all our
churches. Special attention was given

apportionment for the Endowment
Fund for Columbia Seminary, Chicora
and the Presbyterian College of South
Carolina.
Home and Foreign Missions: These
great interests were thoroughly discussed
and the Presbyterv heard Rev.
W. H. Hudson on "The Crisis in China,
a Challenge to the Church," and Dr.
L. S. Morean, of Haichow, China, on
"Medical Missions." The Presbytery
in conjunction with Piedmont Presbytery,
has secured the services of Rev.
J. Andrew Smith, as its evangelist and
he has entered upon his work. Rev.
J. F. Preston made a favorable renort
on his work in Korea and African Missions.
