ARE YOU GOIXG TO PRESBYTERY J
OR SYNOD?
As the season for the meetings of ](
Presbyteries and "Synods draws near, h
ij have a few words of suggestion to o
some preachers and elders who may n
<be elected to attend these meetings. f
How many of yon pastors and elders p
have ever entertained Presbytery or ?
Synod in your church? Those of you b
who have enjoyed this privilege will H

remember the pleasure that it afforded
your people, aud you recall some helpful
discussion or some good gospel sermon.
You recall with interest the ministers
and elders who were there and
you have always known them a little
better and loved them more since that
time.
While the congregation delights to
entertain the Church court, there are
ilways responsibilities connected therewith
and sometimes burdens that are

lack of just a little thought and attention.
on the part of some who attend.
The question of providing entertainment
is often quite a little problem.
How important then it 1b for the committee
or pastor to know who is to
attend and at what hour and over what
railroad they expect to arrive. If a
given church invites Presbytery or 'Synod
to be its guest, common oourtesy
lemands that any one who expects to
go and be entertained should inform
the church of his purpose and of the
expected hour of arrival. How frequently
the entertainment committee
is be si aged with inquiries from the
jood housewives aB to when their guests
will arrive. "Will they be here for
iinner " "Will they get in for supper?"
In many instances the committee has
:o say, "We don't know. They did not
say when they would get in."
So the hostess waits for the noon

rhere is the same uncertainty as to the
svening meal. This is no exaggera:ion.
I know exactly what I am talkng
about. It does seem to me that
iny intelligent, thoughtful Presbyterian
would be heartily ashamed of such coniuct
towards those Who invite us to
>e their guests for three or four days.
Beine asked bv nn elder of a nastor
ess church for some suggestions as to
he entertainment of Synod, I told htm
lis greatest difficulty would be to find
>ut who would atttend. One of the
irst imen ofT the train was a preacher
from whom no report had been received
md no place was provided for him.
I sometimes feel that one who is so
houghtless as not to inform the church
>f his coming should be allowed to go
0 the hotel and pay his own bill.
Then too, some few brethren send a
)ill of specifications as to what they
vish in the way of entertainment. If
1 man is sick, he might mention that
act and express a preference; but any
veil man should accept what may be
offered, knowing that the church will

weak church by insisting u-pon

iufflclent number of homes could be

elflshness very unbecoming In followrs

My plea is for a proper consideration
f those who so cordially invite us and
o hospitably entertain us.

'She married at 18 unfortunately, to
one, who provided the food and shelter,
hut all the rest of his earnings going
for drink. She was obliged to exert
herself to get clothing and everything
else needed for four children, taking
in sewing, cooking, washing, helping a
neighbor, etc., etc., in any way that she
could earn an honest penny.

she married again, and did not seem

the many terrible experiences she passed
through, was when, with a new baby
of a month old, her little six-year-old
daughter caught fire, the father in bed
at the time; the mother with no one to
help, had her hands and arune to the
elbow burned, in saving the precious
little life, and preventing the fire reaching
the face, but the limbs give evidence
of what a fight it was! She says she
can hardly recall now how she did get
along, many a time not even bread in
the house and wondering where the
next meal would come from, but God
always provided and work would come
and she managed to keep independent.

OUB DOCTRINAL STANDARDS.
The great Dr. Thornwell, who performed
so signal a part in the organization
of our Church and the shaping
of its policy, was not 'brought up a
Presbyetrian. His father died when
he wae but a child, and his mother,
who he testifies impressed Calvinistic
views of religious truth upon him in
early life, was a Baptist. And his generous
patron who took him to his own
home while yet a lad to educate him,
was not then a professing Christian,
but afterwards Joined the Episcopal
Church. So the brilliant youth was
never thrown under 'Presbyterian in
fluencet!. But while a college student
in Columbia, S. C., he picked up by chance
In a book store a copy of the
Presbyterian Confession of Faith,
bought it and took It to his room, and
he was bo fascinated by Its logical unfolding
of the doctrines of salvation
that he read it through In a single
night. Later -when he experienced conversion.
he united with the Preefbyterian
Church, and at once began to prepare
for the ministry.
And this is the way in which he expresses
himself about its doctrinal
standards:
"I have read the creeds of most
Christian bodies; I have been rejoiced
at the general harmony of (Psotestant
4. 41.* a J?4-1 ?

the gospel; but 'I know of no uninspired
production, in any language, or
of any denomination that, for richness j
of matter, clearness of statement,
soundness of doctrine, scriptural expression.
and edifying tendency, can \
for a moment enter into competition 1
with the Westminster Confession and i
Catechisms. It was a noble body of
divines, called by a noble body of *
statesmen, that composed them; and
[September 18, 1912
there they stand, and will stand forever,
the monuments alike of religious truth
and civil freedom."
YOU ABE INVITED.
The advertising manager of the Presbyterian
of the South cordially invites
you to investigate the attractive offer
of the Presbyterian of the South Piann
Club. The club has proven, to the entire
satisfaction and delight of its members,
every claim that was made for It.
It was founded on the prnclple that
"what is Impossible for one is easy for
one hundred." The tremendous purchasing
power of an army of one hundred
piano buyers solves perfectly the
otherwise difficult problem of securing
a piano of highest artistic standard at
a price and on terms which put it within
reach of practically every subscriber.
The new club booklet and catalogue,
beautifully illustrated and fully describing
the club plans and pianos are
now ready for distribution. We have
a copy for you. Won't you write for
it today AddreBB Ludden & Bates,
