was offered by DR.. Allison, which, after

adopted in the following form:

Church attendance is good and increasing.

be on the decrease. In many parts of
our Zion the Holy Spirit has been richly
poured out. The contributions to Foreign
Missions and to Home Missions are lar

work in particular is in a more encour-
aging condition than for many years past.
The coming year promises to be one of
unusual activity and success.
But there are two painful and ominous
facts brought out in the reports sent
up TO us to which we ask your serious
attention.:
|. Many Of our churches do not paw
their pastors the salaries promised them.
Mecklenburg Presbytery reports sixteen
churches delinquent in this respect; Or
anSe freSbytery reports ten churches:
Fayetteville Presbytery reports that about
one half Of her churches do not fully and
promptly pay their PASTORS; Albemarle

DR.. Monroe offered a resolution that

ceased brethren shall be held at the close

way. 1t stains the congregational morals

?. The second fact to which We call the
attention OF our people is the deplorable
and increasing neglect OF family worship.

church. While its membership is not so
large as the Catholics, the Methodists or
the Bapttsts, it had according to the CEN
sus of 1890 a membership of 1921 ,Ol2,
which was estimated in 1899 to have in
creased to 1.515,77S, an increase of % per
cent in nine years. The census figures
have not yet been published, but it is
probable that the increase for ten years
will be % per cent.
The PRESBYTERIAN church stands third
in the number of members of churches in
North Carolina. The membership as re-
ported {. the session Of the Synod held
in Raleigh this week is 34,584. The gains
during the year ending November 1St,
1900, aggregated 2,848. The recent cen
sus figures show that the population of
North Carolina has increased II per cent
during the past ten years. The records
show that in the same period the mem
bership of the Presbyterian church in
North Carolina has increased 80 per cent.
The increase in interest in missions
has been even larger, whether measured
by the missionaries who have gone out
from this State or in the money to support
the Foreign Mission department of church
work. In the past year $23, 435 was raised
for Foreign Missions. This shows an in
crease Of 50 per cent in the past ten
years.
The revival of interest in Home Mis-
sion work has been the chief character
istit of the Presbyterian church Of North
Carolina during the past ten years. The
church has built many churches and eS-
tablishcd many schools, and through faith
full ~cvangelists has carried the GOSPEL to

The S7th annual session of the Synod OF
the Presbyterian Church of North caro-
lima adjourned yesterday morning after
an interesting session, marked by har-
monv and Inconsistencies in church work.
1t was a body Of able and devoted men,
preachers Of learning and conservation
and lavmen of large usefulness and Wis
dam Raleigh welcomed the members OF
the SYNOD with gladness and saw them
leave with regret. The addresses, the
sermons the debates were uplifting and
helpful to all who attended any of the
services Of the body, and the presence OF
the representatives of this great church
in the homes of the people was 4 bene-
diCtiOn upon the city.
The past year has been one of steady
growth and progress in all departments
of church work, and as the delegates look
ed back upon what had been done, they
"thanked God and took courage as they
planned larger things for the Twentieth
Century
Many of the visitors expressed admi-
ration of the new First Presbyterian
Church in which the sessions of the Synod
were held. 1t is admirably adapted for
the sessions of that body, and many COM
pliments were paid to the Raleigh Pres
byterians who now rejoice in it's com
pletiOn.

may mean.
Very soon after their organization, the
church took steps toward erecting a
house of worship. The first building o.
this kind in Raleigh was known as Glen

Individual of that name about the year
1905. The first house erected by any de
nomination was the frame Methodist

conducted by the Rev. Drs. McPheetcrs,

all denominations. 1t was in this huu+"

Next in interest to the Twentieth Cen

work of Home Missions. a work that has
been carried on of late years by the
Presbyterians with much vigor and which
has been rowne with much success.
Rev. r e. Gillespie was reelected Su-

shown great wisdom heretofore and the
church has every confidence in his iudg-

There was genuine and deep interest
