The Montgomery Monitor. VOL. XXIII. Savannnah Presbytery . The spring term of Savannah Presbytery opened its session in the Presbyterian church at this place Tuesday evening, with a splendid attendance, both pastors and delegates. Exercises were opened with prayer by Rev. W. S. | Harden of Fitzgerald. Then fol lowed a classic lecture by Rev. A. h. Patterson of Blaekshear. Mr. Patterson was to have delivered this talk later in the session, but | owing to the late arrival of Dr. j .1. Y. Fair, of Savannah Indepen dent Presbyterian Church, who was to have made the opening talk, Mr. Patterson appeared at the opening of the session in a most interesting theme—The In fluence of John Calvin on the Religion of the World. His topic was divided into three sections — religion, education and civil li berty —and each was made a mas terpiece of logic and eloquence. This was grealv enjoyed by all. Mr. Patterson is one of the strong-1 est. members of the Presbytery, and is remembered by many friends here, having visited Mt. Vernon four years ago. * j At this juncture several mem bers arrived on the westbound train, among whom were Dr. Fair and Dr. Nesbitt of Savannah, to- ! gether with a number of delegates from other sections. The Pres bytery proceeded to organize by electing Mr. John T. Brantley of Blaekshear as moderator. Mr. Brantley is one of the most ac tive and influential Presbyterians in the state, and though a voting man, is proving lmnself a wise and judicious presiding officer. After the appointment of certain committees, the body adjourned to meet in a reception at the manse near the church, tendered the ministers and .delegates by Rev. and Mrs. Chas. Montgomery Many were present, and voted Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery most gra cious entertainers. Yesterday’s session opened at 8:‘50, with a buiness meeting, ex tending until eleven o’clock,when Mr. Ben D. Brantley of Blaekshear delivered a stirring talk on the Laymen’s Missionary Movement. - - - - - - - - ■ .
