nomination would be settled by the atti-
tude adopted with regard to these doc
trines, some believing that if DIR. Briggs
were upheld disintegration would be the
ultimate result, while others commended,
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 a 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 d%eclination
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 yer was, if not ever stron-
ger.
The Presbyterian faith and form of
church government obtained foothold in
America along with the earliest settlers
IN 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 1706.
Ten years later the general synod, COM
posed of four presbyteries, was organ
lied, and in 1888, 2o7 wears ago, the
500 " New York and Philadelphia
adopted the constitution of the general
assembly, thus completing the organiza-
ton Of the denomination 1t is a rather
interesting fact with regard to Presby-
terianism that in its earlier life in the
old world this church stood generally
for freedom, especially in Scotland and
Switzerland, whereas, from a 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 its first church Or
CARNATIONS in the colonies were form
ed in eastern Maryland, along the banks
of the Pocomoke. The churches were
few and struggling, however, and gave
little hint of the truly noble proportions
to which the denomination was to attain
in the new world. 1t was about 1854
that the first two We're 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
i'll the United States.
He was a man not only of eminent
piety, but also of notable intellectual
strength and attachments. Ee was a ma,
tive of Ireland and was educated in one
of the Scotch universities. He became
actively religious when but IA and was
regularly licensed as a minister i'll 1851,
while still a young man, after being in
troduced to the presbytery of Saggan by
his pastor. Some time later Mr.. Makeme

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 not until after considerable
delay. The PresbTtery 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 a he,
with the Rev. John Hampton, was ar

out a license. Both were locked up and
kept in Jail for fully two months, being
finally released on a 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 A
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 a letter Of congratulation
to President Washington, t. which he
made a Enthusiastically formal and
dignified reply.
The great revival Of 1900 was felt by
the Presbyterians as we'll as the churches
Of other denominations. 1t was a 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 ome
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 church
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 no yet reunited, though it

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 OF it's
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 1.-THE
nursery of American Presbyterianism.
1t 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, a 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 Alleghanies, and from that time for
ward there was always a Presbyterian
chaplain stationed there, but it was not
till I'LL 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 McMil-
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 a high hill remote from the
houses Of the settlers who worshipped

| tied region, some miles out of Pittsburg.
1t is, however, a furnishing 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 1877. The other N found.
ed by him near Pittsburg was Lebanon

terrain church of Pittsburg was establish

its members will no doubt play a promi

The Region Thereabouts Has Been Termed
the Nursery Of the American Presbyte-
rian Church.. but 1t Was Established
Many Years Earlier In Eastern Maryland.
The sessions of the Presbyterian gen
sral assembly held in Washington in
1898 were greatly enlivened by the dis
cussions that took place over the doc
trines promulgated by Rev. Charles W..
Briggs, d. D., of New York's Union
Theological seminary. Though there
will be many important questions to
consider at the general assembly this
year, beginning on May l6 at Pittsburg,
hone will present the sensational fea-
lures Of the Briggs controversies.
Before the assembly was called to-
gether, two years age, it was held in
many quarters that the fate of the de-
