ORGANIZATION OF THE PRESBYTERY*

In accordance with the direction of the General Assembly of 1870, the Synod of Philadelphia met in the Spring Garden Church of Philadelphia, on June 21, 1870, for the constitution of the Presbyteries in the territory assigned to the Synod. The Presbytery of Chester was organized by the following action :

" The Presbytery of Chester is hereby constituted to consist of the ministers and churches in the counties of Chester and Delaware, to meet in the Spring Garden Church, at 8.30 o'clock a. m., June 23. 1870; the Rev. B. B. Hotchkin, or. in his absence, the oldest minister present, to preside until a Moderator is chosen ; and the Presbytery of Chester is hereby declared to be the legal successor of the Presbytery of New Castle ; and as such, eutitled to the possession and enjoyment of all the rights and franchises and liable to the performance of all the duties of that Presbytery."

The General Assembly, during its sessions at Chicago, May, 1871, reversed that part of the above action of the Synod of Philadelphia which made the Presbytery of Chester ' ' the legal successor of the Presbytery of New Castle," and declared the newly constituted Presbytery of New Castle to be the rightful successor of the original Presbytery of New Castle.

The boundary line of the Presbytery was enlarged by an Overture adopted by Presbytery and sent to Synod, October 18, 1872, as follows :

"Resolved, That the Synod of Philadelphia be overtured to transfer from the Presbytery of Philadelphia North to this Presbytery so much territory as will include the town of Bryn Mawr, in the county of Montgomery."

The Overture was favorably reported on by the Snyod's Committee on Bills and Overtures, and, after being discussed, it was adopted, "and the boundaries of the Presbyteries of Chester and Philadelphia North were so changed as to include in the Presbytery of Chester all that territory in the township of Lower Merion, Montgomery county, which lies east of the Roberts road and south of the Gulf road, in said township, and which includes the town of Bryn Mawr" (see Minutes of Synod of 1872, pp. 14, 18).

2. Languages.

3. Arts, sciences and philosophy.

4. Theology.

5. Ecclesiastical history.

6. Sacraments.

7. Church government.

8. English Bible.

XII. CANDIDATES AND THEIR EXAMINATIONS.

1. Candidates for the ministry, as well as licentiates under the care of the Presbytery, shall report annually, through the Chairman of the Permanent Committee on Education, to the Presbytery.

2. The written parts of trial assigned to candidates for the ministry, except the sermon, shall be referred to the joint Committee on Languages and Arts and Sciences for examination.

The Presbytery shall pay the expenses of its Commissioners only to the extent of the lowest railroad fare to and from the place of meeting, plus one dollar en route in case of additional expenses.

68 MANUAL OF THE PRESBYTERY OF CHESTER.

3. For the purpose of the election of delegates to Synod, an alphabetical roll of the Presbytery shall be prepared. The said roll shall consist of the names of ministers who are engaged in ministerial work within our own bounds and have been members of the Presbytery at least one year. The first six names or such ratio as shall at any time exist shall be principals, and the second six alternates, and so on down the roll until this roll shall have been exhausted. Any alternate who shall take the place of a principal shall be regarded as having filled his own term. When the roll is exhausted a new roll shall be made of Presbytery as it shall then consist. The same plan shall be followed for elder delegates, taking one elder from a church or from the two churches of a joint pastorate on the alphabetical roll of churches. Whenever the interests of Presbytery or con- siderations of courtesy shall make it desirable to send any special delegates, nothing in this plan shall militate against such special selection.

XIV. CHURCH SESSIONS.

2. Each church Session shall prepare the narrative of the state of religion within its bounds, on the blank sent out by the Stated Clerk, and forward the same to the Com- mittee on Narrative, at least two weeks before the April Stated Meeting, and, when there is additional matter to be added, two weeks before the Fall Stated Meeting of the Presbytery.

3. Each church Session shall promptly fill the various columns in the blank statistical report sent out by the Stated Clerk, and return the same to him, at' least one week before the April Stated Meeting of the Presbytery.

MANUAL OF THE PRESBYTERY OF CHESTER. 69

XV. VACANT CHURCHES.

1. Whenever a church becomes vacant it falls under the immediate care of the Committee on Synodical Missions, and so continues until brought regularly under the charge of an individual pastor ; and the Committee shall proceed immediately to take such order in its behalf as its circum- stances ma}T require.

2. The appointment of a minister of the Presbytery as the Moderator of the Session of a vacant church shall in no case be omitted. Said Moderator may be nominated by the Session.

3. The Session of a vacant church may ask leave of the Presbytery to supply its own pulpit ; and when said leave is obtained it shall, unless renewed, expire at the next Stated Meeting. In the absence of such leave the Session shall, in general, apply for supplies for its pulpit to the Committee on Synodical Missions.

4. The Sessions of vacant churches may properly apply for the aid of the Presbytery, through the Committee on Synodical Missions, in obtaining candidates for the pastor- ate, and they should by all means do it when the vacancy has been of long continuance.

5. No vacant church shall open its pulpit to a stranger as a candidate, and especially not to one not in our ecclesi- astical connection, without consultation with the Committee on Synodical Missions.

6. When a church has been long vacant, the Presbytery shall visit it, by a Committee, for the purpose of inquiry concerning its welfare and prospects, and of making such suggestions and giving such counsel as the case may require.

7. If it become known to Presbytery that dangerous dif- ficulties exist in any vacant church, which require its inter- position, it shall appoint a commission, with the full power of the Presbytery, to adopt whatever measures may be required for the peace, purity and prosperity of the church.

70 MANUAL OF THE PRESBYTERY OF CHESTER.

XVI. AMENDMENTS.

Any of these Standing Rules may be suspended, at any meeting, by a two-thirds vote ; or may be amended or rescinded by a vote of two-thirds of the members present at any Stated Meeting, provided that notice of such intended change has been given at a previous Stated Meeting.
