THE PBESB YIERIANS AND LIB

Among the various Centennial celebra
lions which have occurred in the last few
weeks, there has been nothing more likely
to fix the attention of the reader who goes
through the descriptions of them than the
prominence of the Presbyterians in those
early struggles for freedom. In the Cen
tennials of the New England States, where
the grim old Puritans still held sway, the
prominence of the disciples Of Calvin Was
not unexpected, but we find on going fur
Their South, where the Presbyterians were
much scarcer, that they were still in the
front in the first resistance to tyranny.
Of the MecklenbuEg Convention Of North
Carolina, which adopted IA Declaration Of
Independence May Goth, 1875, one member
was a Presbyterian minister, nine were
Presbyterian elders, including Abraham
Alexander, the chairman, and all were in
some way connected with the seven Pres
byterian congregations that composed the
whole county of Mecklenburg. When the
War of the Revolution, which followed so
shortly. came, the Presbyterians were

to the political Constitution Of this Re
