nomination would be settled by the atti-
tude adopted with regard to these doc
trines, some believing that if DR.. Briggs
were upheld disintegration would be the
ultimate result while others contended,
and quite as firmly, that destruction
must follow if he were not supported
In such case, said the latter class, the
doctors followers would be certain to
organize church of their own, founded
upon the liberal teachings which he has
put forth, and as the new church would
be made up of the younger, more pro-
gressive element it would very shortly
outstrip the older, more conservative
organization, whose days of declnation
would then be definitely numbered.
Well, DR.. Briggs was not sustained,
but nevertheless, and in spite of the fact
that his adherents were and still are
very numerous, the Presbyterian church
is yet to all intents and purposes as
strong as it ever was, if not even stron-
ger.
The Presbyterian faith and form of
church government obtained footho1d in
America along with the earliest settlers
on this side from Scotland, England and
France. Early in the seventeenth cen
fury indeed there were Presbyterian
churches in the colonies, but the first
presbytery was not formed until 1905.
Ten years later the general synod, COM
posed of four presbyteries, was organ
lied, and in 1888, 2O7 years ago, the
synod of New York and Philadelphia
adopted the constitution of the general
assembly, thus completing the organiza-
ton Of the denomination. It is a rather
interesting fact. with regard to Presby-
| terianism that in it's earlier life in the
old world this church stood generally
for freedom, especially in Scotland and
Switzerland, whereas, from doctrinal
standpoint, the Presbyterian church is
today the straitest laced of all the evan
gelical denominations.
There is a certain mistiness about the
early history of the Presbyterian church
! in America, though it seems to be pretty
generally agreed that it's first church or

ed in eastern Maryland, along the banks

| that the nrSt TWO were organized at
Snow Hill and Rehoboth, the Rev.
Francis Makeme, the much venerated
Presbyterian missionary, being their
founder. He was undoubtedly the first
Presbyterian minister in America, and
it is no great stretch Of terms to speak
of him as the father of Presbyterianism
in the United States.
He was a man not only of eminent
piety, but also of notable intellectual
strength and attachments. He was ma
tive of Ireland and was educated in one
Of the Scotch universities. He became
actively religious when but ID and was
regularly licensed as minister in 1881,
while still young man, after being in
troduced to the presbytery of Saggan by
his pastor. Some time later Mr. Makeme
was sent to the new world as mission

FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, PITTsBURG.
is hoped ther will at some time in the
future. The old school and the new
school bodies came together again in
1870.
Although the Presbyterian church is
not of such great age in Pittsburg or its
vicinity as it is in Maryland, yet it has
been we'll established there since about
the middle of the last century, and the
region is sometimes spoken of as the
nursery of American Presbyterianisnl. -
It was on Nov. "a, 1853, after the blow
ing up of Fort Duquesne by the French,
who then abandoned the location, that
by direction Of General Forbes, Rev.
Charles Beatty, Presbyterian chaplain,
preached a sermon of rejoicing, and the
day was made one of general thanksgiv-
ing. This date is held to be the begin
ming of the Presbyterian church west of
the Al1eghanies, and from that time for
ward there was always a Presbyterian
chaplain stationed there, but it was not
till 1771 that Rev. James Powers, the
first regular minister of the denomina-
ton to be settled i'll western Pennsyl-
vania, took up his work.
In 1776 the famous Rev. John McAIi1-
Ian, D. D., began his labors in the vi
cinity of Pittsburg, and two of the
churches founded by him are still active.
One, the Bethel church, was located on
the top of high hill remote from the
houses of the settlers who Worshipped
| there and still in comparatively unset
tied region, some miles out of Pittsburg.
| Tt is, however, a f1ourishing religious
organization, the membership being
nearly 800 and the regular congregations
being large The Bethel church edifice
shown in the cut is the third since its
founding in 1777. The other one found
ed by him near Pittsburg was Lebanon
Presbyterian church The First Presby-
terrain church of Pittsburg was establish
ed in 1875, but by whom is not record
| ed. 1t is now one of the most famous
Presbyterian churches in America, and
its members will no doubt play promi-
nent part during the sessions of the COM
ing general assembly.
DR.. Mcmillan was a strong character.
He had to undergo all the tolls and pri-
vations of pioneer life, and his residence
| was log house-tOday it would be con-
sidered little better than a hovel-of
which sketch has been preserved. As
his name indicates, he was of Scotch
blood, and the settlers who made up his
congregations and did the chief work Of
opening the region were mostly Scotch
and Scotch Irish, hardy people who
have wrought wonders in this line in
many quarters of the globe. It is pecul-
iarity of many Presbyterian churches
that they retain their pastors for longer
periods than most churches. During the
118 years life Of the Bethel church it
has had but four pastors.

THE SUFFERING MINERS.

the Church of England, and, it appears,
there were those who held that there
were already enough preachers outside
the ranks of the established church
However, the licenses were finally grant
ed, though 4ot until after considerable
delay. The Presbytery of Philadelphia
was formed very soon after the return of
DR. Makeme from England, and he was
moderator of the first annual meeting in
1706. In January of the next year he,
with the Rev. John Hampton, was ar
rested in New York for preaching with
out license. Both were locked up and
kept in jail for fully two months, being
finally released on writ of habeas cor
pus Mr.. Hampton was discharged, but
Mr.. Makeme preferred to stand trial In
due time he was acquitted of the heinous
charge. but the trial had cost him $500
or more He died in 1908.
At the time Of the organization of the
first general assembly there were 4
synods, II presbyteries, $50 ministers
and 4S9 congregations, the proportion
between ministers and congregations be-
ing greatly different from those existing
at the present time, since there are now,
as in most denominations, more Pres
byterian ministers than Presbyterian
congregations One of the first official
acts of the first general assembly was
the adoption of letter of congratulation
to President Washington, to which he
made a enthusiastically formal and
dignifed reply.
The great revival of 1900 was felt by
the Presbyterians as we'll as the churches
of other denominations. 1t was most
extraordinary wave of religious emotion
that reached over the length and breadth
of the settled portions of the country.
During its continuance a great impetus
was given to camp meetings, even
among Presbyterians, and to the some
what demonstrative forms Of religious
expression now very little seen in this
church The greatest excitement was
felt in Kentucky, and it was there, too,
that the shortage of ordained ministers
to preach to the newly organized ahurch-
es was most felt. Because of this short
age many uneducated but fervent men
were licensed to preach in the Blue
Grass state, and this provoked much
criticism among Presbyterians else
where So bitter did this criticism be-
come that division ensued, the Cumber-
land Presbyterian church separating it
self from the original body.
In 1887 there was another disruption
over points Of doctrine, those holding to
more conservative lines forming them
selves into the old school Presbyterian
church and those of tendencies then
termed liberal into the new school just
before the breaking out of the civil war
the Presbyterian church south broke
away from the Presbyterian church
north on sectional lines, and these two
bodies have not yet reunited, though it

airy, preaching at the Barbados for
number of years, however, before he set
foot on the mainland. After his transfer
to Maryland he married the daughter of
William Anderson, a rich merchant of
Accomac county, and in 1899 he received
a formal license to preach, according to
the liberation act, though he had pre-
viously qualified while stationed at the
Barbados. In 1904 he returned to the
old country, principally for the purpose
of inducing other Presbyterian ministers
to come to the colonies. He was away
for about year, and when he came
back brought several ministers with him.
Although Maryland was accounted
one of the most liberal of the colonies,
there was considerable opposition to
these ministers being given licenses to
perform their ministerial duties. These
