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).

ruling elders were present. The elders were David Shelmire,
of Downiugtown, and P. Frazer Smith, Esq., of West
Chester. Rev. Beriah B. Hotehkin, by appointment of the
Synod, presided until a Moderator was chosen. The honor
of being the first elected Moderator of the Presbytery fell
upon the Rev. James W. Dale, D.D. At the same meeting

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-

special delegates, nothing in this plan shall militate against
such special selection.

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.
