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.
