Savannah presbytery is composed OF
fourteen ministers and thirty-four
churches, each of which is entitled TO
a representative to the presbytery.
The spring meeting Of the presbytery
is always the largest and busiest meet
ing of the year when each church
sends its yearly reports OF all depart
ment sof church work. These reports
20 to the general assembly, which is
the highest court Of the church, are re-
viewed by them, and the report OF
the Whole tuuI III 10 IhSA pi ''AAN
sent to each pastor
The sessions of the presbytery are
open to all who desire to attend. 1t
is hoped there will be visitors to all
Of the sessions.
A reception will be rendered the
members of the presbytery, on We'd
nesday evening, probably immediate
ly after the evening service. Presby-
terial communion service will be held
ON Thursday evening. DR.. A. L. Pat
terson, CT the Blackshear church, and
Presbyterial Institute, will remain for
a week after adjournment Of the
presbytery, to assist the pastor in a
protracted service. DR.. Patterson is
one Of the very best preachers in the
church, and those who h~ar him viii
be deIightod and materially benefited.
The Presbyterian church Of Fitz-
gerald is only about twelve years old,
but some of the busiest and healthiest
church in our town. -Four years ago
it had a mem bership of only forty-fiye;
today it has a membership Of 104. Few
people are aware that in connection
with this church there is mission
Sunday school among colored people,
with foIty-fve enrolled; that there
an Industrial school soon to opeI for
colored people, to be known as the
Presbyterian Industrial School.
The present pastor Of the church,
Rev. w. S. Harden, is now in his nth
year among us, and says he VIA be
here just as long again if the people
want him to remain.
Tie Presbyterian church, as q
whole, has always stood for the Bible
as the inspired Word Of God, the only
infallible srido. to be believed in pref
erence to all creeds OF falli5le men. No
person is required to subscribe to its
confession q faith to become a mem
Der, but only to confess faith in Jesus
Christ.
We feel sure that the coming session
Of The Savannah presbytery viii prove
blessing to cur town, an DIVE eZ-
tend them a sincere welcome.
