$1164.87 
Balance    in   Bank    $  263.19 

All  of  the  Presbyteries,  except  Concord  and  King's  Mountain, 
have  paid  their  assessments  in  full.  Concord  is  due  a  balance  of  $65.- 
00,  and  King's  Mountain  is  due  the  whole  of  her  Assessment  $65.00. 

At  the  last  meeting  of  Synod,  it  ordered  that  the  assessments  be 
increased  to  the  total  amount  of  $1000.00.  This  was  about  65  per 
cent  increase  for  each  Presbytery,  making  the  amounts  stand  as  fol- 
lows: 

Orange  $165.00,  Concord  $165.00,  Fayetteville  $220.00,  Wilming- 
ton $100.00,  Mecklenburg  $210.00,  Albemarle  $75.00  and  King's  Moun- 
tain $65.00.     Total,  $1000.00. 

This  amount  is  not   sufficient   to  meet  the   necessary  expenses  of 


Synod  of  North  Carolina  545 

the   Synod.     It  is  true  there   is   a  balance   in  the   treasury  today   of 
$263.19,  and  there  are  no  outstanding  debts,  but  this  amount  will  no 
much  more  than  pay  the  salaries  and  expenses  of  your  clerk  for  this 
meeting  of  Synod,  much  less  the  printing  of  the  minutes  of  this  meet- 
ing, with  the  added  cost  of  printing  the  roll  of  the  elders  and  deacons. 

Your  Treasurer  has  no  recommendation  to  make  but  unless  the 
assessment  is  increased,  he  does  not  know  how  to  proceed,  except  to 
borrow  money,  as  necessity  may  demand,  until  next  October. 

Eespectfully  submitted, 

D.  I.  CEAIG,  Treasurer. 

Subsequently  the  Auditing  Committee  made  the  follow- 
ing report  which  was  adopted : 

REPORT   OF   AUDITING   COMMITTEE 

The  Auditing  Committee  begs  to   report: 

That  they  have  examined  the  Treasurer's  book  and  vouchers, 
and  find  the  disbursement  of  the  funds  in  his  hands  have  been  prop- 
erly made,  and  all  funds  duly  accounted  for. 

The  Committee  recommends  that  each  Presbytery  be  requested 
to  forward  the  Treasurer  a  50  per  cent  extra  assessment  April  1st. 
This  will  place  cash  enough  in  the  Treasury  to  enable  him  to  pay 
all  bills  in  cash  and  not  have  to  borrow  from  banks,  leaving  at  the 
end  of  the  year  balance  enough  to  carry  him  through  the  incoming 
year,  with  the  regular  assessments  as  now  paid. 
Eespectfully  submitted,

546  Minutes  of  the 


Catawba,  was  introdneed  and  invited  to  sit  as  a  correspond-

foHowing  the  Home  Mission  Committee's  popular  meeting  to- 
night. 

The  committee  of  Schools  and  Colleges  made  a  report 
which  was  received  and  pending  its  adoption.  Synod  heard  an 
address  by  Dr.  J.  D.  Eggleston,  President  of  Hampden-Sid- 
ney  College,  Virginia.  The  report  went  over  as  unfinished 
business,  and  the  committee  on  Resolutions  of  Thanks  was  re- 
quested to  prepare  a  response  to  the  address  of  Dr.  Eggleston. 

The  committee  on  Orders  made  the  following  partial  re- 
port which  was  adopted : 

We  rcccimnieiiil  that  Revs.  Messrs.  J.  N.  H.  Suinnierell,  and  J. 
R.  Bridges,  conduct  the  Communion  Service,  assisted  by  the  follow-

Harry,  P.  W.  Garland,  R.  P.  Richardson. 

Recess  for  five  minutes  was  taken. 

Synod  convened  after  recess,  and  engaged  in  the  Synodi- 
cal  Communion  Service,  followed  by  the  Memorial  Service. 

The  following  Memorials  of  deceased  brethren  were  read 
and  adopted  by  a  rising  vote : 

The  Memorial  of  John  R.  Herndon  was  read  by  Rev.  E. 
D.  Brown ;  of  J.  C.  Kennedy,  by  Rev.  J.  M.  Grier ;  of  J.  McI. 
Wicker,  by  Dr.  H.  G.  Hill;  of  E.  W.  Souders,  by  Rev.  L. 
Smith;  of  F.  L.  Johnston,  by  Rev.  Carl  B.  Craig. 

The  Memorials  are  as  follows : 

REV.    JOHN    RANKIN    HERNDON 

John  Rankin  Herndon,  son  of  Jacob  C.  and  Martha  B.  Herndon, 
was  born  in  Rutherford  County,  Tennessee,  August  22,  1862.  After 
finishing  his  studies  in  the  schools  of  his  native  county  he  entered 
the  Southwestern  Presbyterian  University;  graduating  from  the  lit- 
erary department  in  1886,  and  from  the  theological  department  of 
the  same  University  in  1889.     He  was  ordained  to  the  gospel  minis- 


Synod  op  North  Carolina  547 

try  in  April,  1889,  by  the  Presbytery  of  Nashville.  His  first  pastorate 
was  served  in  the  Westminster  church,  Nashville,  Tennessee,  1889  to 
189-1.  For  the  year  following  this  work  he  was  Evangelist  for  the 
Presbytery  of  Nashville.  In  January,  1896,  he  accepted  a  call  to  the 
pastorate  of  the  First  Presbyterian  Church,  Johnson  City,  Tennessee. 
From  there  he  was  called  to  Glade  Springs  church  in  Virginia  where 
he  remained  until  August,  1907,  at  which  time  he  became  associate 
editor  of  the  Christian  Observer,  Louisville,  Kentucky.  In  1908  he 
accepted  a  call  to  the  church  at  Cleveland,  Tennessee,  continuing  his 
work  on  the  editorial  staff  of  the  Christian  Observer.  He  remained 
in  this  field  of  labor  until  the  Autumn  of  1915,  when  he  accepted  the 
pastorate  of  the  Presbyterian  church  of  Ocala,  Florida.  He  accepted 
a  call  to  the  pastorage  of  the  Waughtown  Presbyterian  church,  Win- 
ston-Salem, N.  C,  in  August,  1919,  and  was  installed  pastor  of  that 
church,  September  28,  1919,  where  he  remained  until  the  time  of  his 
tragic   death. 

Mr.  Herndon  was  married  to  Sue  Eogan  Wood,  June  29,  1899,  and 
to  this  union  were  born  two  daughters,  Sarah  and  Margaret. 

The  life  of  this  servant  of  God  was  characterized  by  earnest  de- 
votion to  the  work  of  his  Master,  the  evangelistic  note  sounded  clear- 
ly in  all  of  his  preaching  and  bore  much  fruit  through  his  ministry. 

As  a  man,  he  represented  the  fine  type  of  citizen  that  every  com- 
munity delights  to  claim — cultured,  refined,  endowed  with  a  splendid 
mind  and  noble  Christian  heart  that  led  him  to  humbly  offer  these  to 
the  service  of  his  fellowmen.  The  section  of  Wiuston-Salem  where  he 
spent  the  last  days  of  his  life  knew  his  true  worth  as  a  citizen  and 
friend. 

As  a  Presbyter,  he  knew  the  work  of  the  church  at  large,  had 
a  high  and  noble  conception  of  her  mission,  possessed  a  wide,  personal 
acquaintance  with  the  personnel  of  the  church,  and  always  delighted 
to  aid  in  the  work  of  the  Courts.  He  served  as  Stated  Clerk  of  his 
Presbytery  in  Tennessee,  as  Eecording  Clerk  for  the  Synod  of  North 
Carolina,  and  as  Permanent  Clerk  or  Orange  Presbytery. 

His  death  came  in  a  sudden  and  tragic  manner  on  December  22, 
1920.  While  returning  from  the  Post  Office,  across  the  street  a  few 
blocks  from  his  home  in  Waughtown,  he  was  struck  by  an  automo- 
bile  and  killed  instantly. 

Strong  in  body,  brilliant  in  mind,  noble  in  spirit,  devoted  and 
loving  in  heart,  active  in  service — ^called  suddenly,  but  ready  to  go.

REV.   J.  C.   KENNEDY 

J.  Columbus  Kennedy  was  born  in  Mecklenburg  county,  North 
Carolina,  December  13th,  1834.  He  departed  this  life  at  Kannapolis, 
North  Carolina,  December  12th,  1920. 

In  1849,  he  on  confession  of  faith  in  Christ,  was  received  into 
membership  of  Sharon  church  witliin  whose  bounds  he  was  born. 

Although  born  blind  he  had  earnest  desire  to  preach  the  gospel 
of  the  Master  he  so  devotedly  loved.  Early  in  life  he  learned  to  read 
the  old-fashioned  raised  script  Bible.  This  massive  volume  he  car- 
ried with  him  on  his  many  journeys  and  it  was  ever  the  object  of 
his  solicitious  care.  He  truly  became  a  man  of  one  book  and  an  able 
expounder  of  the  great  fundamental  doctrines  of  grace. 

His  long  cherished  desire  to  preach  the  word  was  at  length  realiz- 
ed— he  being  licensed  by  Mecklenburg  Presbytery  in  1885.  He  was 
ordained  by  Concord  Presbytery  in  1891.  Handicapped  by  lack  of 
sight  he  never  became  a  pastor  but  making  long  journeys  from  his 
home  at  Mount  Mourne,  North  Carolina,  he  traveled  his  native  State 
and  often  into  adjoining  States  gladly  availing  himself  of  every  op- 
portunity to  preach  the  gospel. 

He  was  deeply  interested  in  men  and  most  keenly  did  he  enjoy 
visits  in  Christian  homes.  Family  relationships  and  marriages  inter- 
ested him  and  of  all  men  the  writer  has  known,  he  was  best  informed 
on  such  matters,  being  able  to  trace  kinship  of  families  he  had  visited 
from  the  Valley  of  Virginia  into  Georgia. 

Often  in  my  home  has  he  opened  his  heart  and  his  inner  desires 
and  expressed  hope  that  God  would  call  him  home  by  time  he  reached 
three  score  and  ten  and  before  decrepitude  and  complete  dependence 
on  others  would  be  his  portion.  But  God's  ways  are  not  our  ways. 
In  providence  of  God,  dullness  of  hearing  added  to  his  congenital  trou- 
ble and  later  on  a  severe  fall  left  him  a  helpless  cripple  for  remainder 
of  his  life.  It  was  through  much  tribulation  he  entered  into  the 
Kingdom.  But  finally,  the  ears  dulled  to  the  voice  of  loved  ones  on 
earth,  opened  to  hear  the  new  song  of  heaven  like  the  Seer  on  Patmos 
heard  it  "as  the  voice  of  many  waters  and  as  the  voice  of  a  great 
thunder  and  I  heard  the  voice  of  harpers  harping  with  their  harps." 
Eyes  ever  blind  to  earth's  beauties  had  on  their  first  vision,  the  glo- 
ries of  heaven  and  to  him  was  fulfilled  the  promise  of  old,  "Thine 
eyes  shall  see  the  King  in  His  beauty,  they  shall  behold  the  land  that, 
i^  afar  off."  "  J-  M.  GRIEK. 


Synod  of  North  Carolina  549 

JAMES  McIVER   WICKER 

Rev.  James  Mclver  Wicker  was  born  December  28,  1885,  in  Lee 
County,  then  Moore  county,  near  Sanford,  North  Carolina. 

In  his  childhood,  he  attended  the  neighborhood  schools.  He  went 
to  the  Bingham  school  at  Mebane,  and  finished  his  course  there  in 
June,  1880.  He  taught  at  Alamance  church  in  Guilford  county  in 
the  fall  of  1880,  and  the  spring  of  1881.  He  went  to  Texas  in  August, 
1881,  and  taught  there  until  February,  1882.  Then  feeling  the  call  to 
enter  the  ministry  urgent,  he  resigned  and  went  to  Princeton  Univer- 
sity, then,  the  college  of  New  Jersey.  He  entered  the  Freshman 
Class,  half  advanced,  in  February  and  graduated  in  June,  1885.  He 
entered  Princeton  Theological  Seminary  in  September,  1885,  and  grad- 
uated in  June,  1888.  He  spent  his  summer  vacation  in  1887,  in  Degby, 
Nova  Scotia,  supplying  a  vacant  church.  Immediately  after  gradua- 
ting he  was  called  to  Shennandoah  church,  Pennsylvania,  where  he 
remained  three  years.  He  was  then  called  to  Edge  Hill  church,  Penn- 
sylvania, in  1891.  His  pastorate  at  Edge  Hill  was  very  successful  and 
during  his  stay  there,  a  very  handsome  church  building  was  erected. 

He  was  married  to  Miss  Margaret  Gilmour,  October  1,  1891. 

He  was  called  to  Puritan  church,  Philadelphia,  in  1897.  This  was 
a  fruitful  pastorate,  and  he  deemed  his  best  work  as  a  minister  was 
done  there.  During  his  service  there,  the  congregation  erected  a 
handsome  church  building.  He  resigned  his  pastorate  there  in  1909, 
after  successful  work  for  the  Master  for  twelve  years,  and  came  to 
St.  Pauls  in  Fayetteville  Presbytery,  North  Carolina,  the  summer  of 
that  year.  He  preached  in  several  charges  in  Fayetteville  Presbytery 
and  had  a  pastorate  of  several   years   at  Lumber  Bridge  church. 

His  health  failing  in  his  later  years,  he  retired  from  regular  ac- 
tive labors,  and  in  his  sixty-sixth  year  passed  away  to  his  heavenly 
home,  and  reward. 

He  was  a  man  of  varied  and  ripe  scholarship,  a  thorough  Cal- 
vinist,  could  deliver  an  edifying  Theological  lecture,  and  preached 
impressive  sermons.  He  was  modest  and  retiring  in  his  disposition, 
would  rarely  pass  for  his  worth  among  his  brethren,  and  would  be 
most  esteemed  by  those  who  knew  him  best.  His  record  is  with  his 
Lord,  and  in  th^  Jieaj-fs  of  those  whom  he  longest  served.

550  Minutes  of  the 


REV.  E.  W.  SOUDERS 

Rev.  E.  W.  Souders  was  born  March  7,  1843,  at  New  Plymouth, 
Ohio,  and  spent  the  greater  part  of  his  childhood  and  young  manhood 
days  in  that  State.  He  was  educated  and  trained  for  his  life  work 
there — taking  his  academical  course  at  Wittenburg  College,  Ohio,  and 
his  Theological  training  at  the  Seminary  of  Springfield,  Ohio,  where 
he  graduated  in  June,  1866.  He  was  ordained  August  5.  1857,  by  the 
Evangelical  Lutheran  Synod.  In  the  Lutheran  church  he  remained 
for  16  years,  at  the  end  of  which  term  of  years,  he  came  to  the  Pres- 
byterian church.  The  following  are  some  of  the  churches  of  which 
he  was  pastor  in  his  faithful  service  to  the  Kingdom  of  Christ: 

Circlesville,  Ohio,  Carthage,  Hlinois,  and  Clinton,  Indiana.  His 
service  in  the  Presbyterian  church,  North,  covered  a  period  of  about 
17  years.  He  labored  under  diflSculties  on  account  of  impaired  health, 
suffering  at  times  with  a  bronchial  trouble  which  eventually  caused 
him  to  lay  aside  his  ministerial  labors  for  a  time.  About  the  year 
1900  he  came  South  seeking  a  better  climate  for  his  health — locating 
in  Fayetteville,  North  Carolina.  Here  he  rested  and  gradually  grew 
better  until  the  year,  1903,  he  determined  to  go  back  to  that  work  he 
loved  best,  and  applied  for  admission  into  Fayetteville  Presbytery 
and  resigned  from  Presbytery  of  Crawfordsville,  Indiana,  in  the  fall 
of  1903. 

He  was  called  to  churches  of  Kenly,  Smithfield  and  Oakland.  Fay- 
etteville Presbytery  which  churches  he  served  very  acceptably  for  five 
years.  During  this  period  he  also  served  as  stated  supply  the  church 
at  Dunn,  North  Carolina,  beginning  his  services  there  in  the  year, 
1904.  In  1908,  he  was  permitted  by  Fayetteville  Presbytery  to  re- 
sign his  position  as  pastor  and  stated  supply  of  the  above  named 
churches,  and  accept  a  call  to  the  Congregational  church  at  Southern 
Pines,  North  Carolina.  Here  he  finished  his  duties  as  an  active 
preacher  of  the  Gospel.  (After  two  years  in  this  pastorate,  his  health 
failed  again,  and  he  retired  from  active  labors  to  spend  the  rest  of 
his  days  as  an  invalid.  He  became  totally  blind  in  1911,  and  that 
affliction  with  feeble  health  in  other  ways,  caused  him  to  have  to 
cease  absolutely  all  active  labors. 

Those  who  knew  him  best  and  had  opportunity  to  observe  him, 
say  that  in  all  his  afiiictions  he  maintained  a  submissive  and  uncom- 
plaining spirit.  He  quietly  acquiesced  in  what  he  knew  to  be  his 
Master 's  will. 

Brother  Souders  was  naturally  a  man  of  sweet  spirit  and  gentle 
disposition  as  the  writer  knew  him.  A  man  modest  in  his  manner 
and  yet   firm   in  his  stand   on  principles  of   right  and   wrong.     As  a. 


Synod  of  North  Carolina  551 


Presbyter  he  was  uot  heard  often  on  the  floor  of  the  Church  Courts, 
but  was  wuse  and  helpful  in  his  counselling  in  matters  of  importance 
in  the  work  of  Christ's  Kingdom.  In  his  every  day  walk  he  exempli- 
fied the  fact  that  he  was  a  man  of  God  and  loved  His  Holy  Laws.  In 
his  daily  contact  with  men,  he  was  sociable  and  companionable.  While 
modest  and  unassuming,  he  impressed  you  with  his  quiet  firmness.  As 
a  preacher,  he  was  far  above  the  average.  In  his  sermons  he  used 
some  of  the  most  expressive,  impressive  and  yet  chaste  language.  His 
manner  of  delivery  was  very  pleasant,  and  his  discussion  instructive. 
He  made  his  way  into  the  hearts  of  people  where  he  w^as  pastor,  and 
w^as  at  any  time  a  welcome  visitor  in  their  homes.  He  loved  his  work 
for  he  loved  the  souls  of  men,  and  it  was  a  heavy  cross  to  be  compell- 
ed to  lay  aside  and  be  unable  to  do  anything  for  the  cause  to  which 
he  dedicated  his  life. 

In  the  very  beginning  of  his  ministerial  life  he  was  happily  mar- 
ried to  Miss  Bunnavista  Morgan,  with  whom  he  lived  55  years,  and 
who,  with  two  sons,  survive  him.  After  a  long  period  of  patient  wait- 
ing, the  call  came  for  him  to  go  up  higher.  On  ]M^y  30,  1921,  he  pass- 
ed to  his  eternal  reward.  In  that  long  solitude  as  shut  out  from 
joy  of  earth,  he  was  shut  in  with  the  privilege  of  close  and  sweet 
communion  with  his  heavenly  Father,  and,  that  fellowship  ripened 
him  for  the  Home  that  the  Saviour  prepared  for  him. 

He  was  taken  back  and  buried  in  the  land  of  his  birth,  and 
there  he  rests  from  his  earthly  labors,  but  his  work  done  here  in 
this  Southland  and  elsewhere,  is  going  on  and  will  continue  to  fol- 
low him.

REV.  FRANK  L.  JOHNSTON,  D.  D. 

On  June  6,  1921,  there  passed  from  our  midst  to  his  eternal  re- 
wardj  a  man  of  unusual  worth  and  ability,  a  quiet  man,  learned,  gift- 
ed man,  whose  soul  was  on  fire  for  the  Kingdom  of  God,  whose  devot- 
ed service  was  poured  out  without  stint  or  measure,  whose  love  for 
Christ 's  Kingdom  and  for  those  for  whom  Christ  died,  was  so  great 
that  he  literally  burnt  out  his  physical  powers  iu  consuming  energy 
for  the  work.  , 

Frank  Lovejoy  Johnston  was  born  March  4,  1864,  at  Byron,  Illi- 
nois. After  his  preparatory  and  collegiate  work  at  "W?heaton  Col- 
lege, Illinois,  he  attended  Yale  Theological  Seminary,  from  which  he 
graduated  in  1892  and  entered  the  ministry  of  tha  Congregational 
church. 

In  June,  1895,  he  married  Miss  Hitty  DeGraff  of  Omaha,  Nebras- 


552  Minutes  of  the 


ka.     His  wife,  one  sou  and  four  daughters  survive  him. 

Most  of  his  ministerial  life  was  spent  in  the  Congregational 
church  in  tlie  following  pastorates:  Unitown,  Washington,  Omaha, 
Nebraska,  Valley  Junction,  Iowa,  Mt.  Pleasant,  Iowa,  and  Tabernacle 
church,  Kansas  City,  Mossouri;  the  last  named  pastorate  extending 
from  1.904,  to  1914.  In  the  Presbyterian  church,  he  was  pastor  at 
Edgeley,  North  Dakota,  East  Side  Presbyterian  church,  'Kansas  City, 
and  his  final  work  at  Smyrna  and  Laurel  Hill  churches,  Laurinburg, 
North  Carolina. 

Dr.  Johnston  was  not  only  a  gifted  preacher  and  pastor,  but  also 
a  man  of  scholarly  attainments,  especially  along  sociological  lines. 
In  1895,  he  went  to  England  to  study  conditions  among  the  poor  and 
in  later  years  his  investigations  of  slum  life  and  his  betterment  work 
in  Kansas  City,  received  the  thanks  of  the  Governor  of  his  State.  In 
1914,  he  served  as  supply  at  the  English  Protestant  church  at  Petro- 
grad,  Bussia.  He  was  intensely  interested  in  Rural  life,  and  was 
recognized  as  one  who  spoke  with  authority,  being  the  lecturer  on 
that  subject  at  the  University  of  Missouri  during  the  Rural  Life 
Conferences  of  1918  and  1919. 

This  rich  store  of  knowledge  along  rural  and  economic  lines  made 
his  work  at  Laurel  Hill  and  Smyrna,  all  the  more  valuable  and  telling. 
He  knew  the  theory  and  also  how  to  put  the  theory  in  practice.  Night 
schools  were  established  for  the  illiterate  whites  and  many  learned 
to  read,  adults  as  well  as  children;  lectures  were  given  on  thrift  and 
kindred  subjects,  and  last,  but  not  least,  the  people  themselves  were 
through  him  brought  under  the  influence  of  the  church  and  many  in- 
to its  membership.  His  dream  was  to  make  the  rural  church  the 
eommunity  center.  He  built  a  tennis  court,  also  a  swimming  place 
at  the  church  grounds,  and  the  ladies  were  organized  into  a  Communi- 
ty Club.  Though  he  was  permitted  tn  labor  in  our  midst  only  a  few 
months,  his  dream  was  already  becoming  a  reality. 

Dr.  Johnston  was  held  in  high  esteem  by  his  brethren  as  evidenc- 
ed by  the  fact  that  he  was  twice  elected  Moderator  of  Kansas  City 
Presbytery  and  once  of  the  Synod  of  Missouri. 

The  manner  of  his  going  showed  the  spirit  of  the  man.  Although 
he  had  been  warned  of  the  seriousness  of  his  state  of  health,  he  work- 
ed with  unflagging  energy  and  zeal  to  the  very  last,  preaching  three 
or  more  times  the  week  before  he  died.  He  was  with  us  but  a  short 
time,  but  long  enough  to  win  the  respect  of  his  brethren  for  his  piety 
and  scholarship;  their  admiration  for  his  untiring  zeal;  and  the  affec- 
tion of  all  his  people  for  his  wise  leadership  and  pastoral  care.     His 


Synod  of  North  Carolina  553 


work  inspires  in  us  a  vision  of  the  power  that  lies  in  the  rural  church 
to  touch  the  whole  community.  He  was  a  true  man.  a  great-souled, 
far-visioned  man,  who  loved  God  and  lived  his  love  in  serving  those 
for  whom  Christ  died. 

GAEL  B.   GRAIG,  Committee. 

Synod  then  took  recess  until.  3:00  o'clock  p.  m. 


SECOND  DAY — Afternoon  Session 

Tarboro,  N.  C,  Wednesday,  Oct.  19,  1921. 

Synod  met  at  3  :00  p.  m.,  and  resumed  business.  The  un- 
finished business,  viz :  The  report  of  the  committee  on  Schools 
and  Colleges  was  taken  up  and  Synod  heard  an  address  by 
Eev.  W.  M.  Hunter,  Chairman.  The  report  was  adopted  and 
is  as  follows : 

REPORT  TO   SYNOD 

Your  committee  on  Schools  and  Colleges,  begs  to  sumit  the  fol- 
lowing report: 

We  have  five  institutions  doing  grammar  and  high  school  work, 
with  a  total  enrollment  of  347  students,  taught  by  34  teachers: 

Grove  7  teachers,  53  students;  Elise  5  teachers,  67  students;  Glade 
Valley  5  teachers,  55  students;  Westminster  5  teachers,  and  61  stu- 
dents. 

These  four  institutions  are  by  no  means  crowded  in  their  board- 
ing departments,  as  only  about  half  of  their  student  body  board  and 
live  in  school  dormitories;  which  shows  conclusively  that  these  Insti- 
tutions could  take  a  much  larger  number  of  boarders  than  they  now 
have. 

Albemarle  seems  to  be  more  fortunate,  with  her  12  teachers  and 
111  students,  and  found  it  necessary  to  turn  away  13.  Her  normal 
dormitory  capacity  is  65,  yet  she  has  82  boarders. 

COLLEGES  FOR   WOMEN 
These  institutions  are  crowded  to   over-flowing: 
Flora  MacDonald  34  teachers,  297  students;   Queens  20  teachers, 
251  students;   Mitchell  12  teachers,   182  students;  Peace  29   teachers. 


554  Minutes  of  the 


150  students;  making  a  sum  total  of  160  teachers  and  officers  and  1,- 
842  students. 

Two  of  these  Institutions  were  compelled  to  refuse  entrance  to 
a  few  applicants,  (Flora  MacDonald  9,  and  Queens  10)  though  each 
rent  outside  apartments  for  students. 

COLLEGE    FOR    MEN 

Davidson  has  had  512  students  on  the  campus  this  fall,  being  in- 
structed by  her  25  professors  and  a  number  of  assistants.  This  stu- 
dent body  is  much  larger  than  should  be  for  the  very  best  results, 
but  as  Davidson  has  a  representative  at  Synod,  you  will,  hear  from 
him. 

THEOLOGICAL   SEMINARY 

Our  Theological  Seminary  is  now  enjoying,  perhaps  the  most 
prosperous  period  of  her  history,  with  9  professors  and  105  students; 
being  so  crowded  that  she  finds  it  necessary  to  rent  apartments  off 
campus  for  certain  students  and  their  families.  This  makes  a  sum 
total  of  1,842  students  in  our  11  institutions. 

Several  of  our  institutions  show  an  over-crowded  condition;  es- 
pecially Davidson.  For  example,  512  students,  over  against  dormi- 
tory capacity  for  367.  The  sum  total  of  improvements  made  in  the 
way  of  buildings  and  equipment,  during  the  past  year,  amounts  to 
about  $40,000,  which  does  not  include  the  handsome  new  Sunday 
school  building  at  our  Seminary.  There  is  a  crying  need  from  each 
school  and  college  for  either  dormitories,  laboratories,  libraries,  laun- 
dries  or   class-room   equipment. 

FINANCES 

Our  treasurer's  report  shows  a  sum  total  of  receipts,  $15,593,07 
(showing  an  increased  amount  over  last  year  of  $7,509,86)  which  has 
been  disbursed  to  the  various  institutions  as  designated  by  the  sev- 
eral Prebyteries. 

THE   YEAR'S  EXPENSE 

Charged  off  to  each  Institution  according  to  amount  each  receiv- 
ed: 

One   Typewjiter     $  90.00 

Amount  Paid  by  request  to  Systematic  Beneficence  Com._  150.00 

Printing,   Clerical   Work   and   Postage    246.22 


Total    $486.22 

Respectfully    submitted, 

W.  M.  HUNTER,   Chairman. 


Synod  op  North  Carolina  555 

N.  B.  Amounts  sent  direct  to  our  lustitutious  by  the  various  churcli 
agencies,  and  not  through  our  treasurer,  $6,498.25,  making  a  sum  of 
$22,091.32  for  the  year. 

RESOLUTIONS 

EESOLVED,  That  Synod  call  attention  to  the  summer  Bible 
schools  as  conducted  by  some  of  our  church  sessions  and  suggest 
to  others  that  they  put  this  into  practice  this  coming  summer  where- 
ever  feasible.  And  that  the  committee  of  Schools  and  Colleges  be 
authorized  to  investigate  this  method  of  instruction  and  report  at 
next  meeting. 

That  our  church  sessions,  schools  and  college  faculties  be  re- 
quested to  seek  out  promising  young  men  and  young  women  who 
have  decided  to  enter  the  ministry  or  mission  of  the  church,  and  lay 
upon  their  hearts  and  consciences  the  question  of  equipping  them- 
selves as  Christian  teachers  for  a  life's  work. 

That  the  Synod  give  your  committee  the  authority  to  investi- 
gate the  possibility  of  offering  a  course  of  English  Bible  at  our  State 
educational  institutions  and  report  its  findings  to  Synod. 

EESOLVED,  That  the  Synod  express  most  hearty  thanks  to  our 
Treasurer,  Mr.  F.  L.  Jackson  and  his  assistant  in  the  oflSce  of  David- 
sou,  Miss  Hattie  Thompson,  for  their  great  kindness  and  accuracy  in 
keeping  the  treasurer's  account     of  this  work. 

SUPPLEMENTARY  REPORT  OF  COMMITTEE  ON  SCHOOLS 
AND  COLLEGES 

There  have  been  referred  to  this  committee  reports  from  David- 
son College,  Montreal  Normal  School,  and  the  Mountain  Ketreat  As- 
sociation. 

DAVIDSON   COLLEGE 

The  Synod  notes  with  great  pleasure  the  very  encouraging  report 
coming  from  Davidson  College,  and  would  call  attention  to  the  in- 
creased patronage  of  the  venerable  institution  from  various  denomi- 
nations. For  example,  we  note  in  a  student  body  of  512,  we  have 
eleven  protestant  denominations  represented  on  the  campus.  Also 
that  seventeen  states  have  representatives  there  and  three  foreign 
countries  and  that  more  than  one-half  of  the  student  body  comes 
from  a  constituency  not  connected  wdth  the  Presbyterian  church 
within  the  bounds  of  our  Synod. 

NEW   PEOFESSOES 

We  are  glad  to  note  that  it  has  been  made  possible  for  the  Board 
of  Trustees  to  employ  a  number  of  new  professors,  and  while  we  do 


556  MmuTES  op  the 


not  consider  the  teaching  force  as  large  as  we  would  like  to  see  it, 
we  feel  quite  sure  that  the  work  is  being  as  well  done  at  Davidson 
as  in  any  one  of  our  great  institutions. 

While  the  church  has  done  a  great  deal  in  recent  years  by  way 
of  financial  support,  yet  when  we  consider  the  advanced  cost  of  liv- 
ing, coupled  with  ihe  almost  doubling  of  the  student  body,  and  large 
number  of  additional  professors,  we  can  only  say  that  Davidson  must 
have  more  money  to  pay  for  larger  equipment  and  more  professors. 

While  we  feel  very  grateful  to  the  great  head  of  the  church  for 
supplying  us  with  a  splendid  faculty  and  so  large  a  number  of  stu- 
dents, which  means  larger  opportunities,  we  at  the  same  time  would 
reaffirm  Dr.  Martin's  most  earnest  appeal  for  larger  financial  sup- 
port from  the  church. 

MONTKEAT   NOEMAL  SCHOOL 

This  institution  is  doing  a  great  and  a  needed  work  for  our 
church  by  way  of  offering  education  at  a  very  moderate  cost  to  many 
worthy  and  needy  young  women,  and  we  would  coimnend  the  work 
of  this  institution  to  the  thoughtful  and  sincere  consideration  of  our 
people. 

It  is  the  judgment  of  your  committee  that  it  is  indeed  a  wise 
plan  for  the  Montreat  plant,  so  well  equipped  for  educational  facili- 
ties, to  be  used  during  the  Montreat  vacation  period,  instead  of  al- 
lowing it  to  remain  idle  for  nine  months  in  the  year. 

MOUNTAIN  EETEEAT  ASSOCIATION 

This  report  shows  clearly  that  eight  distinct  conferences  are 
carried  on  at  this  place,  beginning  June  21st  and  ending  August  25th, 
and  that  in  addition  to  the  great  amount  of  information  that  is  dis- 
seminated among  both  our  younger  and  older  people  in  regard  to 
the  great  work  that  our  church  is  doing,  both  in  home  and  foreign 
fields;  perhaps  the  greatest  and  most  important  of  all  is  the  emphasis 
laid  upon  what  is  known  as  ' '  The  Bible  Study  Hour ' '  presided  over 
by  such  men  as  our  Doctors  Theron  H.  Eice,  J.  Gray  McAllister,  Mel- 
ton Clark,  and  E.  C.  Caldwell. 

It  is  with  great  joy  that  we  note  that  the  material  equipment  in 
this  Association  has  been  so  handsomely  improved  by  the  addition 
of  the  large  and  commodious  auditorium,  which  is  nearing  completion, 
and  that  Montreat  looks  forward  to  an  era  of  usefulness  for  our 
church,  and  w^e  would  commend  this  institution  to  the  liberality  of 
our  people  in  supplying  the  Association  with  further  equipment  for 
the  auditorium,  as  well  as  other  needed  improvements. 

W.  M.  HUNTEE,  Chairman.

Respectfully  submitted, 

F.  L.  JACKSON,  Treasurer. 

The  report  of  the  committee  on  Work  in  State  Institu- 
tions was  received  and,  pending  its  adoption,  addresses  were 
made  by  Rev.  Messrs  R.  M.  Williams  and  John  Allen  McLean. 

Report  was  adopted. 

Y''our  committee  on  Christian  Work  in  the  State  Educational  In 
stitutions  begs  to  report  that  it  has  made  thorough  investigation  in 
regard  to  the  work  that  is  being  done  in  all  our  institutions.  At  the 
last  meeting  of  Synod  your  chairman  was  ordered  to  visit  all  the  in- 
stitutions before  the  next  meeting  of  Synod.  "^  For  the  last  week  your 
chairman  has  made  a  tour,  beginning  with  the  North  Carolina  Col- 
lege for  Women,  at  Greensboro,  the  State  College  for  Men,  formerly 
known  as  A.  &  M.  College,  at  Raleigh,  the  University  of  North  Car- 
olina, and  the  Training  School  for  Women,  at  Greenville.  Your  chair- 
was  more  than  delighted  with  the  work  that  is  being  done  in  all 
these  institutions  and  the  welcome  these  institutions  accorded  him  as 
your  representative.  He  spoke  to  a  large  number  of  the  student  body 
of  each  of  these  institutions,  indicating  the  interest  that  church  has 
in  them  and  presenting  the  claims  that  Christ  and  the   Church  have 


Synod  of  North  Carolina  561 


upon  their  lives^  and  urging  them  to  put  first  things  first.  The 
heads  of  these  institutions  expressed  to  your  representative,  asking 
him  to  convey  to  Synod  their  deep  appreciation  of  the  interest  shown 
by  the  Synod. 

At  the  North  Carolina  College  for  Women  they  have  1,000  stu- 
dents enrolled,  and  practically  all  the  students  belong  to  some  of  the 
Evangelical  churches.  They  have  a  thoroughly  equipped  Y.  W.  C. 
A.  secretary  who  is  giving  all  her  time  in  directing  the  Christian  ac- 
tivities of  the  young  women.  In  Greensboro  all  the  churches  show  a 
deep  interest  in  the  student  body  and  have  great  numbers  of  them 
in  their  Sunday  schools  and  preaching  services.  Keligious  services 
are  held  in  the  chapel  of  the  college  three  times  a  week,  conducted 
either  by  some  member  of  the  faculty  or  other  religious  leader.  The 
Vesper  service  is  held  every  Sunday  evening  and  daily  Evening  Watch 
is  also  held.  They  have  twenty-five  Bible  and  Mission  Study  Classes 
for  this  year,  taught  by  the  students  and  members  of  the  faculty. 
In  addition  to  the  religious  work  in  the  institution  they  co-operate 
with  the  social  and  charitable  agencies  of  the  City  in  any  definite 
work  that  is  offered.  There  is  an  active  Volunteer  Band  composed 
of  twelve  young  women  definitely  prepared  to  take  up  foreign  mis- 
sion work.  Besides  a  large  budget  to  cover  their  local  expenses,  they 
make  a  gift  of  $500.00  to  foreign  Y.  W.  C.  A.  work. 

At  the  Eastern  Carolina  Training  School,  in  Greenville,  they  have 
325  students,  all  of  them  belonging  to  the  churches  with  the  excep- 
tion of  18.  Your  representative  was  delighted  with  the  spirit  of  this 
institution.  All  the  members  of  the  faculty  are  very  earnest  in  their 
Christian  activities  and  take  a  very  deep  interest  in  the  spiritual  wel- 
fare of  the  student  body.  The  young  women  attend  Sunday  school 
and  church  services  in  the  City,  and  the  churches  show  a  very  deep 
interest  in  doing  what  they  can  for  their  spiritual  development.  The 
Y.  W:  C.  A.  is  active,  holding  two  meetings  a  week,  every  Friday  and 
Sunday  evening.  They  have  fourteen  Bible  and  Mission  Study  Class- 
es which  are  well  attended.  They  gave  $225.00  for  mission  work  dur- 
ing the  last  year  and  raised  $700.00  for  their  own  expenses.  They 
are  planning  for  two  meetings  during  this  year,  one  an  evangelistic 
service  and  one  a  course  of  lectures  on  Christian   fundamentals. 

At  the  State  College  at  Raleigh  they  have  1,000  students.  They 
hold  a  daily  chapel  service  and  have  a  very  active  Y.  M.  C.  A.  or- 
ganization, with  a  splendid  man  as  secretary  of  the  "Y. "  They  have 
32  Bible  Classes  with  340  men  enrolled  as  earnest  seekers  for  truth. 
They  have  recently  had  Dr.  Allen  K.  Foster  to  give  a  series  of  lec- 
tures to  the  students.  Dr.  Foster  being  a  member  of  the  Educational 


562  Minutes  of  the 


Board  of  the  Northern  Baptist  church.  His  addresses  greatly  enrich- 
ed the  Christian  life  of  both  faculty  and  students.  They  are  plan- 
ning to  have  the  strongest  men  they  can  get  in  the  country  to  speak 
to  them  during  the  year  on  Christian  fundamentals,  and  point  out  the 
claims  of  Christ  upon  their  lives. 

Your  representative  spent  Sunday  at  the  University  and  preach- 
ed at  the  Presbyterian  church  on  Sunday  to  a  large  con"gregation  com- 
posed of  University  students,  members  of  the  faculty  and  the  people 
of  the  village.  The  great  Christian  spirit  manifested  in  the  church 
and  in  the  village  impressed  your  representative  very  deeply.  We 
recognize  Chapel  Hill  as  one  of  the  most  strategic  points  of  power 
and  influence  in  North  Carolina,  there  being  1,600  students.  The 
president  and  faculty  of  the  University  are  feeling  very  deeply  the 
the  great  responsibility  resting  upon  them  in  directing  these  young 
lives.  Christian  forces  trere  are  grappling  with  their  task.  They 
have  the  best  man  that  they  can  find  as  Y.  M.  C.  A.  secretary  and  he 
is  doing  a  splendid  work  in  directing  the  Christian  activities  of  the 
Institution.  They  have  a  large  number  of  Bible  Classes  taught  by 
the  strongest  men  that  they  can  get,  and  w^e  are  not  pessimistic  in 
regard  to  the  outlook  of  the  result  of  their  efforts.  Our  beloved  broth- 
er, W.  D.  Moss,  the  pastor  of  the  Chapel  Hill  church  is  doing  an  un- 
paralled  work  among  the  1,600  students  there.  Everybody  at  Chapel 
Hill  admires  him,  loves  him  and  believes  in  him  with  all  their  hearts, 
and  his  influence  is  being  felt  in  the  transformation  of  the  lives  of 
the  young  men.  He  preaches  to  large  congregations  every  Sunday, 
teaches  a  great  number  of  Bible  Classes,  and  holds  conferences  with 
the  students  nearly  every  day,  with  hundreds  of  interviews  in  re- 
gard to  the  problems  that  confront  them.  His  labor  among  the  stu- 
dents is  quite  an  asset  to  the  Presbyterian  church,  and  we  as  a  Synod 
should  praise  God  and  thank  Him  for  his  life  and  consecration  among 
them.  His  church  has  asked  the  Home  Mission  Committee  of  the 
Synod  that  they  reduce  their  gift  of  $1750.00  a  year  on  his  salary 
to  $1500.00.  This  was  a  voluntary  act  on  their  part,  showing  a  wil- 
lingness as  they  become  stronger  to  bear  their  own  burdens. 

Your  representative,  after  this  thorough  investigation,  feels  pro- 
foundly grateful  for  the  work  that  is  being  done  in  our  State  Insti- 
tutions, composed  of  4,000  of  the  choicest  young  men  and  women  of 
our  Commonweath. 

Respectfully  submitted. 

E.  MUEPHY  WILLIAMS,  Chairman. 


Synod  of  North  Carolina  563 

The  report  of  the  committee  on  Systematic  Beneficence 
was  received  and  adopted  as  follows : 

The  committee  on  Stewardship  submits  the  following  amended 
report : 

Your  committee  desires  to  call  attention  of  the  Presbyteries  an  1 
churches  to  the  fact  that  the  General  Assembly's  Training  school  is 
an  Assembly  's  cause,  and  that  all  contributions  made  to  the  training 
school  should  be  taken  from  the  percentage  given  to  the  Assembly's 
causes.  The  Synod  also  urges  Presbyteries  and  churches  to  contrib- 
ute to  the  training  school  the  full  percentage  recommended  by  the 
Assembly  and  to  send  these  contributions  direct  to  Mr.  George  "W. 
Call,   treasurer   of  the   Training   School,  Union  Bank,  Richmond,   Va. 

The  total  contributions  of  the  past  year  reach  the  splendid 
amount  of  $942,777.00. 

In  explanation  of  your  committee's  failure  to  secure  a  full-time 
Synodical  manager  as  instructed  last  year,  we  beg  to  report  that  no 
adequate  financial  means  were  available,  and  do  now  ask  Synod  for 
further  instruction  in  regard  to  this  matter. 

The   committee  recommends: 

1.  That  the  Synod  accept  the  apportionment  of  $743,541  as  its 
quota  for  Benevolences  in  the  Presbyterian  Progressive  Program  sent 
down  by  the  Assembly. 

2.  That  this  amount  be  apportioned  to  the  several  Presbyteries 
on  the  basis  of  the  Spillman  Plan  as  follows: 

Albemarle     $     70,088.00 

Fayetteville    139,731.00 

Mecklenburg     131,885.00 

Orange    158,071.00 

Wilmington    100,998.00 

3.  That  the  40  per  cent  of  $743,412  apportioned  to  Synods  and 
Pl^esbyterial  causes  be  pro  rated  to  Synodical  causes  as  follows: 

Orphan's  Home   7  1-2  per  cent 

Synod's  Home  Missions 10       Per  ^ent 

And  that  the  remaining  22  1-2  per  cent  be  divided  as  each  Pres- 
bytery  deems   wise. 

4.  That  the  overture  of  Wilmington  Presbytery  relative  to  the 
placement  of  e?^tra  gifts  be  adopted  and  the  General  Assembly  so 
Overtured 


564  Minutes  of  the 


The  Presbytery  of  Wllniingtou  respoctfully  overtures  the  Synod 
of  North  Carolina  to  meet  in  Tarboro,  North  Carolina,  October  18. 
1921,  to  overture  the  General  Assembly  to  direct  that  all  extra  gifts 
which  do  not  go  directly  to  the  benevolent  causes  of  the  Assembly, 
the  Synod  or  the  Presbytery,  be  put  in  the  Miscellaneous  Contribution 
column. 

By  order  of  Wilmington  Presbytery  in  session  in  Clarkton,  Octo- 
ber 5,  1921. 

W.  P.  M.  CUREIE,  Stated  Clerk. 

5.  Tliat  in  line  with  the  General  Assembly's  recommendation, 
we  recommend  that  the  name  of  this  committee  be  changed  to  the 
Synod 's   Stewardship   Committee. 

EDWARD  N.  CALDWELL,  Chmii.  pr  tem. 

The  following  is  the  added  report  of  the  Stewardship  Committee: 

Your  committee  on  Stewardship,  together  with  the  special  com- 
mittee to  which  was  referred  the  matter  of  securing  a  Synodical 
manager,  would  recommend: 

1.  That  such  an  officer  be  employed,  provided  only,  that  in  the 
judgment  of  the  committee  after  careful  investigation  a  suitable 
man  shall  have  been  found,  and  further  provided  that  Synod  is  suffi- 
ciently in  earnest  about  this  matter  to  provide  necessary  funds,  and 
that  the  committee  be  limited  to  the  amount  of  $12,000.00. 

2.  We  further  recommend  that  these  funds  be  provided  in  the 
following  plan;  recommended  by  the  General  Assembly  Stewardship 
Committee,  to  have  the  causes  which  are  benefitted  by  the  work  of 
the  Synodical  manager  to  return  an  agreed  per  cent  of  their  receipts. 

3.  We  further  recommend  a  continuation  of  this  present  com- 
mittee until  the  next  meeting  of  Synod. 

EDWARD    N.   CALDWELL,    Chmn.    pro   tem.

SECOND  DAY— Evening  Session 

Tarboro,  N.  C,  Wednesday,  Oct.  19,  1921. 

Synod  met  at  8  :00  p.  m.,  and  engaged  in  a  popular  meet- 
ing in  the  interests  of  Synodical  Home  Missions. 

After  devotional  exercises  conducted  by  Superintendent 
Rev.  A.  W.  Crawford,  the  annual  report  of  the  Committee 
of  Home  Missions  was  submitted,  and,  pending  its  adoption, 
addresses  were  made  by  Dr.  J.  P.  McCallie  of  Chattanooga, 
and  Rev.  A.  S.  Johnson,  D.  D. ;  after  which  the  report,  with 
its  recommendations  were  adopted,  and  is  as  follows: 

REPORT  OF  THE  HOME  MISSION  COMMITTEE 

Your  committee  has  tried  to  carry  forward  intensely  and  vigor- 
ously the  greatly  enlarged  work  authorized  and  inaugurated  by  the 
action  of  the  Ealeigh  Synod  of  1919. 

The  Presbyteries  have  co-operated  fully  in  this  movement.  They 
have  enlarged  their  own  work  greatly  and  we  have  encouraged  them 
to  call  on  us  freely.  Yet  in  this  advance  we  believe  they  have  acted 
with  wisdom  and  care,  their  requests  have  been  reasonable,  and  so 
far  in  this  new  movement  no  requests  made  by  them  for  appropria- 
tions from  us  have  been  declined. 

This  year  this  work  of  enlargement  has  gone  steadily  and  sane- 
ly forward.  God's  blessing  has  rested  richly  on  this  enlarged  effort 
and  the  reports  of  the  workers  show  a  large  increase  in  the  ingather- 
ing of  spujs  over  anything  known  in  the  previous  history  of  the  work. 


566  Minutes  of  the 


With  this  enlargement  our  financial  obligations  ha,ve  steadily  in- 
creased also  and  our  expenditures  for  the  General  Work  for  the  year 
now  closed  have  been  $8,000.00  more  than  for  last  year,  which  was 
increase  of  $15,000.00   over  the  year  before   that. 

This  increase  of  expenditures  was  sustained  liy  tlie  steady  in- 
crease of  the  contributions  of  the  churches  from  Synod  up  t<^  mid- 
summer, when  owing  to  the  general  financial  depression  there  was 
such  a  falling  off  as  seemingly  almost  to  threaten  the  work  with  col- 
lapse. In  response  to  our  earnest  call  and  a  clear  statement  of  the 
facts  to  the  congregations  thej'  have  responded  nobly  in  the  last  three 
weeks  and  brought  the  contributions  in  the  end  to  $5,763.00  over  the 
contributions  for  last  year  and  the  year  has  closed  with  the  work 
paid  for.  To  do  this,  however,  we  had  to  use  practically  all  of  the 
$4,500.00  working  balance  on  hand  at  the  beginning  of  the  year,  and 
we  enter  upon  a  new  year  dependent  on  the  immediate  and  steady 
contributions   of   the   churches. 

Especially  would  we  ask  the  Synod  to  urge  those  congregations 
which  have  not  yet  sent  in  their  proi^ortionate  share  of  the  expense 
of  the  work  since  the  spring  Presbyteries,  as  is  the  case  with  many, 
including  some  of  the  largest  and  strongest  churches,  to  come  to  our 
aid  now,  that  the  work  may  go  forward. 

We  present    the   following   detailed    statements: 

64  supported  wholly  or  in  part  by  the  Synod's  Com.  supplied 
110  weak  churches  and  101  other  mission  points.     They  report 
7,193  sermons  preached. 
3,724  professions  of  faith. 

1,898  additions  to   the  Presbyterinn  church   on  profession. 
454  additions   by   letter. 
27  Sunday  schools  organized. 

4  churches   organized   and  4    church    buildings    completed. 
17  churches  and  manses  under  construction  have  been  aided  & 
$50,342.92  expended  in  the  whole  work  as  compared   with  $37,410.15 
last  year. 

Fine  increase  in  every  department.  Of  special  note  the  fact 
that  there  were  1898  additions  on  profession  as  compared  with  1202 
last  year,  the  largest  previous  number  in  the  history  of  the  Synod's 
work,  this  year's  additions  being  more  than  half  the  total  number 
reported  in  the   Assembly's   minutes   for   the  whole   Synod. 

Of  the  64  engaged  in  the  work,  56  were  ordained  ministers,  and 
8  Sunday  school  workers,  six  of  them  ti'flii^<^<l  women  engaged  espe- 
cially in  mill   villages. 


Synod  of  North  Carolina  567 

Included  ill  the  whole  is  the  fine  work  of  our  four  General  Evan- 
gelists, Rev.  William  Black,  Rev.  O.  G.  Jones,  D.  D.,  Rev.  Conner 
Brown,  and  Rev.  Leonard  Gill,  who  held  85  series  of  evangelistic  ser- 
vices in  whicli*  they  reported  2894  professions  of  faith  and  1311  addi- 
tions to  the   Presbyterian  church. 

Since  the  last  meeting  of  Synod,  Rev.  William  Black,  General 
Evangelist  of  the   Synod,   reports  as  follows: 

Conducted  21  series  of  meetings,  and  preached  at  5  other  places 
in  the  Synod;  preached  348  times;  in  these  meetings  there  were  1259 
professions;  482  additions  to  the  Presbyterian  church  by  profession; 
many  additions  by  letter,  251  promised  to  establish  Family  Worhip 
and  3460  persons  to  read  the  Bible  and  pray  daily;  organized  5  Sun- 
day Schools  and  as  a  result  of  these  meetings,  2  churches  were  or- 
ganized, raised  $2033.33  for  Synod's  Home  Mission  Work  and  more 
than  $1547.94  for  Congregational  purposes,  ordained  and  installed  3 
elders  and  2  deacons  and  conducted  a  large  number  of  prayer  and 
other  religious   services  not  included  in  the   above. 

In  several  of  these  meetings,  large  numbers  of  colored  people 
were  present,  and  not  a  few  of  them  made  profession  and  gave  other 
evidence  of  Ijeing  interested;  also  preached  to  many  Indians  at  their 
State  School  in  Pembroke.  Planned  to  hold  a  Bible  Institute  of  sev- 
eral days  for  the  preachers  of  the  colored  churches  and  others  in 
Charlotte  and  vicinity,  and  while  this  had  to  be  postponed  on  account 
of  the  absence  from  the  City  of  several  of  their  most  prominent 
preachers,  it  is  to  be  held  later. 

Besides  the  above,  this  Evangelist  conducted  three  series  of  meet- 
ings in  the  States  of  Georgia,  South  Carolina  and  Tennessee,  one  each 
in  these  States,  and  in  these  meetings  there  were  173  professions  and 
52  additions  to  the  Presbyterian  church.  During  his  absence  from 
this  Synod,  this  Evangelist  received  no  salary  from  your  committee. 

Rev.  0.  G.  Jones,  D.  D.,  General  Evangelist  of  the  Synod  pre- 
sents the  brief  but  concise  report: 

26  meeting  held. 
405  sermons  and  addresses. 
416  professions  of  faith. 
1370  reeonsecrations. 
306  united  with  the  Presbyterian  church  on  profession. 
$1108  contributed  to  Synodical  Home  Missions  in  the  meetings  held. 
$2515  raised  for  other  causes. 

After  seven  years  of  labor  as  General  Evangelist  of  the  Synod, 
Dr.  Jones  has  accepted  the  call  of  the  Assembly's  Committee  to  la- 


568  Minutes  of  the 


bor  for  them  as  Regional  Evangelist  and  will  not  be  available  for  re- 
election by  the  Synod. 

In  these  seven  years  over  1300  souls  have  been  added  to  our 
churches  through  his  labors,  his  work  has  grown  in  fruitfulness  and 
the  last  year  has  been  the  most  fruitful  of  any.  Our  interest  goes 
with  him  and  our  prayers  ascend  to  God  for  a  still  larger  fruitful- 
ness in  his  new  work. 

The  Superintendent  compiles  the  results  of  the  labors  of  the  Rev. 
Conner  Brown,  as  follows: 

19  meetings  held. 
365  sermons  preached. 
476  professions. 

206  additions   to   the   Presbyterian   church   on   profession. 
2  Sunday  Schools  organized. 
$1174  contributed  for  Synodical  Home  Missions  in  the  meetings  held. 

Mr.  Brown  attaches  justly  large  importance  to  the  work  among 
professing  Christians  and  reports  over  4000  rededications  of  lives  to 
righteousness    and   God 's   service. 

Por  the  first  half  of  the  Synod's  year,  Rev.  Leonard  Gill  was 
Superintendent  of  Mecklenburg  Presbytery  and  gave  only  half  time 
to  the  work  of  General  Evangelist  of  the  Synod.  For  the  last  six 
months  he  has  given  full  time  to  the  Synod's  work.  The  Superin- 
tendent compiles  the  following  summary  of  his  reports: 

19  meetings  held. 
319  sermons  preached. 
741  profesious  of  faith. 

315  additions  to  the  Presbyterian  church  upon  profession. 
$1500  contributed  for  Synodical  Home  Missions  in  the  meetings  held. 

The  labors  of  all  our  General  Evangelists  have  been  greatly 
blessed  and  warrant  pushing  with  vigor  our  campaign  of  Evang- 
elism throughout  the  whole  Synod. 

The  General  Evangelists  have  received  total  contributions  in  the 
meetings  held  $5866.00,  and  the  50  men  engaged  in  the  local  fields  of 
the  Presbyteries  report  contributions  of  $815.00  from  the  weak  church- 
es and  mission  stations  supplied,  a  total  of  $6681.00,  or  the  work  has 
been  this   far  self-sustaining.

572  Minutes  of  the 


EECOMMENDATIONS 

1.  We  affirm  and  emphasize  the  action  of  last  year  in  setting 
$75,000.00  as  the  amount  needed  annually  for  this  work  as  now  con- 
stituted, and  for  its  orderly  development. 

2.  "We  affirm  and  emphasize  the  action  of  last  year  in  setting 
10  percent  as  the  proper  percentage  for  thij  work  in  the  gifts  of  the 
churches,  and  in  doing  so,  urge  upon  all  our  churches  the  necessity 
of  giving  this  work  its  full  and  rightful  place,  as  thus  indicated,  in 
their  yearly  budget,  if  we  are  in  any  way  to  overtake  the  destitution 
in  our  own  State  and  carry  out  the  enlarged  movement  so  well  be- 
gun and  so   evidently  sealed  with  the  blessing  of  God. 

3.  We  call  upon  our  churches  to  make  this  a  whole  church  move- 
ment and  urge  the  Women's  Auxiliaries,  the  Sunday  Schools,  and  the 
Young  People 's  Societies  to  set  apart  the  one-tenth  of  all  their  benev- 
olent contributions  for  this  work,  that  all  together  we  may  accomp- 
lish task. 

4.  That  January  and  July  be  designated  as  Home  Mission 
months  as  heretofore,  and  where  there  are  churches  or  Sunday  schools 
which  do  not  set  apart  one-tenth  of  all  their  benevolent  contribu- 
tions for  this  work,  that  they  be  called  upon  to  give  at  least  one  well 
announced  collection  in  each  of  these  months  to  the  greatly  enlarged 
work  now  being  done  by  the  Home  Mission  Committee  of  the  Synod 
in  its  bounds. 

5.  That  the  Synod  elect  the  following  elders  to  serve  on  the 
Home  Mission  Committee  for  the   ensuing  year: 

J.   E.  Young,   Ealeigh,  Albemarle  Presbytery. 

Z.   V.   Turlington,   Mooresville,   Concord   Presbytery. 

A.  E.  McEachern,   St.   Pauls,  Fayetteville  Presbytery. 

J.  H.   Kennedy,  Gastonia,  King's  Mountain  Presbytery. 

W.  H.  Belk,  Charlotte,  Mecklenburg  Presbytery, 

E.   P.  Wharton,   Greensboro,   Orange  Presbytery. 

Col.  Walker  Taylor,  Wilmington,  Wilmington  Presbytery. 

6.  We  recommend  further  that  Eev.  William  Black,  Eev.  Con- 
ner Brown,  and  Eev.  Leonard  Gill  be  elected  General  Evangelists  of 
Synod  and  that  Eev.  A.  W.  Crawford  be  elected  Superintendent  and 
Treasurer  for  the  ensuing  year. 

Eev.  D.  D.  Slaughter,  of  the  M.  E.  Church,  South,  was 
introduced  to  the  Synod  and  invited  to  sit  as  a  visiting  broth- 
er.

tions, was  adopted : 

Your  Committee  appointed  at  the  last  meeting  of  the  Synod  to 
confer  with  a  committee  to  be  appointed  by  the  Synod  of  Catawba, 
U.  S.  A.  church,  submits  the  following  minute  of  the  joint  meeting 
as  their  report: 

A.   W.   CEAWFOED,   Chmn. 
C.   M.   EICHAEDS, 
Z.    V.    TUELINGTON, 

Committee. 

The  committee  appointed  by  the  Synod  of  North  Carolina  to  con- 
fer with  a  committee  appointed  by  the  Synod  of  Catawba  relative 
to  co-operation  with  the  Synod  of  Catawba  in  evangelistic  and  re- 
ligious work  in  Catawba  Synod  met  in  the  Biddle  University  Library 
and  was  opened  with  prayer.  The  members  of  the  committee  pres- 
ent were  Eev.  A.  W.  Crawford,  Dr.  C.  M.  Eichards,  and  Mr.  Z.  V.

Dr.  F.  J.  Anderson  and  Professor  J.  D.  Martin  of  the  Synod  of  Ca- 
tawba. 

The  committee  agreed  to  accept  the  minute  adopted  by  the  Synod 
of  North  Carolina  relative  to  co-operation  between  the  two  Synods. 

It  was  agreed  that  for  this  year  the  Synod  of  North  Carolina  do 
evangelistic  work  in  the  schools  of  Catawba  Synod,  using  white

the  work  be  left  to  the  chairmen  of  the  two  committees,  Eevs.  A.  "W. 
Crawford,  and  B.  E.  Smith. 

The  committee  of  the  Synod  of  North  Carolina  was  requested  to 
ask  the  said  Synod  to  provide  pay  for  a  full  time  evangelist  who 
shall  do  work  within  the  bounds  of  North  Carolina. 

It  was  also  deemed  wise  to  ask  that  the  Synod  of  North  Carolina 
and  the  Synod  of  Catawba  have  a  representative  from  each  Synod 
to  the  other  at  the  approaching  meetings  this  fall. 

F.   J.    ANDEESON, 
Clerk  of  the  Joint  Committee. 

It  was  Resolved:  That  the  principle  of  co-operation  with  the 
Synod  of  Catawba  in  work  for  the  negroes  be  approved  and  that 
the  working  out  of  it  be  committed  to  the  Home  Mission  Committee.

gressive Program  in  the  Synod,  was  referred  to  the  Steward- 
ship Committee,  together  with  the  following :  A.  A.  McGeachy, 
J.  H.  Henderlite,  Z.  V.  Turlington,  A.  M.  Scales,  J.  E.  Purcell,

RESOLUTION  BY  J.  H.  HENDERLITE 

"WHEREAS,  The  Synod  of  North  Carolina  has  listcMied  with  deep 
interest  to  the  report  of  the  representative  of  the  Committee  on 
State  Educational  Institutions  appointed  to  visit  the  University,  the 
State  College  at  Raleigh,  the  College  for  Women  at  Greensboro  and 
the   Eastern    Carolina    Training    School; 

THEREFORE,  BE  IT  RESOLVED,  That  the  Synod  expresses 
the  sincere  pleasure  with  which  it  has  heard  this  account  of  the  gen- 
eral religious  conditions  obtaining  in  these  institutions  of  learning, 
and  the  cordial  reception  given  to  the  representative  of  the  Synod 
by  the  officials,  heads  of  religious  organizations  and  the  students, 
and  the  interest  shown  in  the  religious  welfare  of  the  students. 

And  that  a  representative  be  appointed  to  visit  these  institu- 
tions next  year,  bearing  expressions  of  the  interest  of  the  Synod  in 
the    students    there   assembled. 

On  request  of  Orange  Presbytery,  Rev.  D.  H.  Scanlon 
was  heard  in  regard  to  the  Sheppard's  Training  School  at 
Durham,  North  Carolina.  It  was  ordered  that  the  Modera- 
tor appoint  a  committee  to  investigate  this  school  and  report 
at  next  meeting  of  Synod. 

A  partial  report  from  the  Committee  on  Bills  and  Over- 
tures was  received  and  adopted  as  follows: 

In  response  to  an  overture  from  the  Presbytery  of  Fayetteville 
requesting  the  formation  of  a  new  Presbytery,  your  committee  on 
Bills  and  Overtures  recommends  that  the  following  ad  interim  com-

576  Mestutes  of  the 


The  committee  on  Woman's  Work  presented  the  follow- 
ing report  which  was  adopted : 

REPORT   OF   THE   PERMANENT    COMMITTEE    ON   WOMAN'S 

WORK. 

During  the  past  year  the  Woman 's  Work  of  the  Synod  has  been 
marked  by  splendid  progress.  The  Synodical  reports  two  hundred 
and  seventy-four  societies,  with  a  membership  of  10,403.  The  report 
made  at  the  last  meeting  of  the  Synodical,  held  in  the  Gastonia  First 
Church,  October  5  and  6,  showed  a  gain  in  membership  during  the 
past  year  of  1,334,  being  just  a  fraction  less  than  13  per  cent.  The 
total  gifts  reported  for  the  year  were  $190,744.  This  was  a  gain  of 
$57,214  over  the  previous  year,  not  quite  30  per  cent,  or  nearly  two 
and  one-half  times  the  advance  in  membership.  The  gifts  per  capi- 
ta for  the  year  were  $18.00.     This  shows  very  gratifying  progress. 

The  work  of  the  Synodical  is  advancing  in  accordance  with  a 
systematic  program  that  is  comprehensive  in  its  scope.  The  endeavor 
is  made  to  include  all  the  interests  of  the  church  and  to  cover  the 
field  of  Christian  life  and  service.  Stress  is  laid  on  such  vital  mat- 
ters as  Bible  study,  prayer  and  mission  study.  That  this  is  thorough- 
going work  is  indicated  by  the  following  figures:  Number  of  Bible 
Study  classes,  133;  number  of  prayer  circles,  186;  number  of  Foreign 
Mission  Study  Classes,  209;  Home  Mission  Study  Classes,  199.  Much 
interest  has  also  been  manifested  in  advancing  organized  work  among 
young   people   in   the   Presbyterials   composing   the   Synodical. 

It  seems  now  that  practically  all  of  the  organized  work  among 
the  women  of  the  Synod  has  been  absorbed  by  the  Synodical  and  the 
work  of  extension  is  being  vigorously  pushed.  Of  all  the  women's 
societies  reported  in  the  Synod,  there  are  only  twenty-four  not  affil- 
iated with  the  Synodical,  and  the  total  of  gifts  apart  from  those  re- 
ported by  the  Synodical  is  only  $4,699.  At  the  same  time  a  large 
extension  work  yet  remains  for  the  Synodical.  Of  the  501  churches 
in  this  Synod  two  hundred  and  twenty-seven  report  no  women's  so- 
cieties. These  are  probably  for  the  most  part  small  and  struggling 
churches  located  in  Home  Mission  territory,  and  while  large  in  num- 
ber represent  a  comparatively  small  constituency.  However,  they 
constitute  a  most  fruitful  field  of  constructive  service  and  make  an 
inviting  and  powerful  appeal  to  the  zeal  and  devotion  of  the  Synodi- 
cal. 

A  very  fine  piece  of  work  that  is  being  done  by  the  Synodical  i 
the  new  Woman's  Building  at  Barium  Springs  Orphans'  Home.     This

The  correct  list  of  Synodical  Officers  as  installoil  at  meeting  in 
Gastonia,  North  Carolina.  Two  new  officers  were  created  and  filled: 
Young  People  's  Secretary  of  Colleges  and  Conferences,  and  Historian. 

The  Young  People 's  work  had  grown  too  large  for  one  person, 
hence  the  new  Secretary. 

The  following  recommendations  are   offered: 

1.  The  Synod  hereby  records  its  hearty  commendation  of  the 
splendid  work  that  is  being  done  by  the  women,  its  appreciation  of 
the  substantial  and  enduring  service  that  is  being  rendered  by  the 
Synodical  and  extends  its  congratulations  on  the  prosperity  and  suc- 
cess that  have  marked  the  work  during  the  past  year. 

2.  The  Synod  expresses  its  warm  appreciation  of  the  beneficence 
of  the  Synodical  in  providing  funds  for  the  new  building  for  girls 
at  Barium  Springs  Orphans'  Home.  This  handsome  structure  will 
stand  as  a  lasting  and  eloquent  monument  to  the  love  and  devotion 
of  the  women  of  this  Synod,  and  will  constitute  a  most  important  fac- 
tor in  carrying  forward  the  Synod's  progressive  program  in  behalf 
of  the  fatherless. 

3.  The  Synod  earnestly  recommends  to  all  the  chi7rches  the  in- 
troduction of  the  Auxiliary  Circle  plan  as  the  wisest  and  most  effec- 
tive method  of  promoting  and  developing  the  work  of  the  women. 
The  Synod  also  recommends  that  the  Presbyteries  encourage  and  pro- 
mote the  work  of  their  various  Presbyterials. 

Respectfully  submitted  by  the  committee.

JNO.  A.   McMURRAY.   Chairman, 

A  partial  report  of  the  Home  IMission  Committee  was 
read  and  adopted  as  follows : 

PARTIAL  REPORT  OF  HOME   MISSION   COMMITTEE 

That  the  Synod  has  received  with  interest  the  communication 
from  Miss  Mebane  in  regard  to  work  among  prisoners  and  would 
call  again  upon  our  ministers  and  Christian  workers  to  give  special 
attention  to  the  prisoners  in  their  reach. 

The  committee  on  the  ]\Iinutes  of  the  General  Assembly 
made  report,  and,  pending  its  consideration,  it  went  over  as 
unfinished  business,  and  the  order  of  the  day  was  taken  up. 

The  Permanent  Committee  on  tlie  Orphans'  Home  made 
report,  and,  pending  its  adoption,  addresses  were  heard  from 
Rev.  Messrs.  R.  A.  Lapsley,  Jr.,  R.  M.  Williams,  H.  G.  Jlill, 
D.  D.,  H.  M.  Parker,  and  others. 

The  report  was  adopted  as  a  whole  and  is  as  follows : 

RHPORT  OF  THE  PERMANENT  COMMITTEE  ON  THE 
ORPHANS'   HOME 

Your  committee  would  respectfully  acknowledge  the  honor  con- 
ferred on  the  Orphans'  Home  in  the  action  of  the  last  Sjnod  in  pro- 
moting its  Committee  on  the  report  of  the  Regents  from,  the  class 
of  standing  to  that  of  a  Permanent   Committee. 

Into  our  hands,  as  such,  the  Synod  has  placed  the  report  of  the 
Regents. 

Since  their  report  is  read  in  connection  with  our  report,  we  be- 


Synod  op  North  Carolina  581 

lieve   it  unnecessary  to  recite  any  of  their  accomplishments  or   wise 
recommendations,  but  we  do   rejoice  in  the  facts  therein  presented. 

We  possibly  do  not  realize,  as  fully  as  we  should,  the  great  re- 
sponsibility and  privilege  our  Lord,  the  Gread  Head  of  the  Church, 
has  placed  in  our  hands  in  the  care  and  training  of  the  orphan. 

We  do  acknowledge,  with  the  gratitude  of  our  hearts,  the  won- 
derful power  of  His  presence,  the  wisdom  and  success  He  has  given 
to  those  who  are  the  Synod's  representatives  in  the  management  and 
conduct  of  the  work  at  Barium  Springs,  His  loving  care  and  protec- 
tion of  the  children  gathered  there  and  His  giving  the  Home  such  a 
warm  place  in  the  hearts  of  our  people. 

This  declaration  we  would  make  by  a  rising  vote  and  a  prayer 
of  His  continued  presence,  that  we  fail  not  in  our  mission  in  His 
name. 

We  would  recommend: 

1.  That  since  a  change  was  made  in  the  membership  of  the 
Board  of  Eegents  at  the  last  meeting  of  the  Synod,  we  extend  our 
loving  thanks  and  appreciation  to  those  who  have  served  so  long,  so 
faithfully  and  with  such  great  success. 

2.  That  Rev.  W.  T.  Walker  having  tendered  his  resignation  as 
Superintendent  during  the  year,  after  ten  years  of  devoted  and  con- 
secrated service,  be  assured  of  our  great  apprciation  and  prayer  for 
his  success  in  his  new  field  of  labor. 

3.  That  we  appreciate  the  faithful  efforts  of  the  new  Board  of 
Regents  in  taking  hold  of  the  problems  given  them  and  the  appar- 
ent success  with  which  they  have  gone  forward. 

4.  That  we  approve  the  plans  and  program  of  the  Board  and 
pledge  our  support  to  its  completion  according  to  their  recommenda- 
tions   1 — 6. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

E.   M.   CRAIG,  Chairman. 

The  Synod  now  took  recess  until  3:00  o'clock  p.  m.,  and 
immediately  repaired  to  the  "William  and  Mary  Memorial 
Chapel,"  at  Lea:gets,  for  a  brief  service  of  song  and  addresses 
touching  the  history  of  the  church.  The  program  was  fully 
carried  out,  and  a  bountiful  luncheon  and  "barbecue"  dinner 
was  served  and  enjoyed. — S.  C.

Synod  met  at  3  :00  p.  m.,  and  resumed  business. 

The  report  of  the  Treasurer  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  of

REPORT  OF  TREASURER  OF  TRUSTEES 

To  the  Synod  of  the  Presbyterian  Church,  N.  C:

Treasurer  Trustees  of  Synod  of  N.  C. 

The  report  of  the  Standing  Committee  on  Union  Tlieo- 
logical  Seminary  was  received  and  adopted  and  is  as  follows : 

REPORT    OF    STANDING    COMMITTEE    ON   UNION 
THEOLOGICAL    SEMINARY 

Your  committee  on  Union  Theological  Seminary  would  report 
that  we  have  carefully  read  the  Annual  Report  of  the  Board  of  Di- 
rectors of  the  Seminary,  which  reveals  many  evidences  of  the  continu- 
ed favor  and  blessing  of  God  upon  this  institution.  The  past  year 
has  been  one  of  the  most  successful  in  the  history  of  the  Seminary, 
twenty  graduates  being  sent  forth  last  May.  As  the  Annual  Report 
will  be  published  in  the  appendix  to  the  Minutes  of  Synod,  we  shall 
not  rehearse  here  the  facts  therein  contained. 

We  are  glad  to  report  that  Seminary  has  had  its  best  opening 
this  fall,  the  enrollment  of  under-graduate  students  for  the  present 
year  being  one  hundred  and  five,  fifty  of  whom  are  new  men.  This 
is  by  far  the  largest  Junior  class  ever  enrolled. 

The  new  model  Sunday  school  building,  Schauffer  Hall,  is  now 
completed  and  is  being  used.  This  Building  will  add  much  to  the 
thoroughness  and  efficiency  of  the  Department  of  Religious  Educa- 
tion. Our  Seminary  is  now  well  equipped  and  strongly  manned  to 
do  the  important  work  the  church  has  committed  to  her. 

The  financial  statement  for  last  year  shows  that  the  total  an- 
nual expenditures  arc  slightly  in  excess  of  the  total  annual  income 


Synod  of  North  Carolina

from  all  sources.  This  fact  emphasizes  the  necessity  for  au  increase 
in  the  annual  support  fund.  We  recommend,  therefore,  that  all  our 
churches  be  requested  to  include  the  Seminary  in  their  annual  budget. 
We  recommend  that  the  Synod  express  its  appreciation  of  the 
encouraging  report  of  the  work  of  the  Seminary  brought  to  this  meet^ 
ing  of  Svnod  by  Dr.  W.  L.  Lingle,  and  that  we  assure  the  faculty  of 
an.l  earnest  prayers  in  their  great  and  important  work  of  training  our 
candidates  for  the  ministry  for  their  future  work. 

Eespectfully  submitted, 

C.    E.   HODGIN,    Chairman. 

The  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  North  Carolina  Religious 
Worker's  Home  made  the  following  report  which  was  adopt- 
ed: 

KEPORT  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  TRUSTEES  OF  THE  NORTH  CAR- 
OLINA HOME  FOR  RELIGIOUS  WORKERS,  MONTREAT,  N.  C. 

The  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  above  named  institution  would 
respectfully  report  that  several  meetings  of  the  Board  have  been  held 
during  the  vear,  and  it  has  endeavored  to  make  the  best  use  possible 
of  the  Hoine,  and  has  kept  the  same  open  during  the  several  confer- 
ences which  were  held  during  the  summer,  and  112  were  entertained 
there  during  the  season,  most  of  whom  were  of  the  class  made  eligi- 
ble by  the  action  of  the  Synod. 

The  Home  was  managed  during  the  Conference  season  most  effi- 
ciently by  Mrs.  N.  L.  Barnes  of  Davidson,  N.  C,  and  board  and  lodg- 
ing, were  furnished  at  the  exceedingly  low  rate  of  $8.50  per  week, 
and  nothing  but  praise  was  heard  for  the  accommodations  furnished. 
It  is  the  regret  of  your  Board  that  our  accommodations  are  so 
limited,  as  it  could  have  been  filled,  if  we  had  a  place  three  times  the 
size  of   the  present  building. 

Your  Board  did  not  undertake  to  canvass  for  the  necessary  funds 
to  enlarge  and  properly  equip  our  Home,  believing  that  on  account 
of  the  very  great  stringency  in  money  matters,  this  time  is  inop- 
portune, but  intends  to  prosecute  the  matter  and  enlarge  the  build- 
ing so  that  all  who  would  like  to  come,  can  be  accommodated. 

Your  Board  is  fully  convinced  that  there  is  a  great  field  of  use- 
fulness for  the  Home,  as  it  would  furnish  to  the  tired,  overworked, 
minister  and  others,  a  fine  place  for  rest  and  at  the  same  time  give 
opportunity  to  hear  just  the  sort  of  addresses,  music  and  other  con- 


584  Minutes  of  the 


fereiices  on  religious  subjects  that  is  needed  to  encourage  and  equip 
bodily,  mentally  and  spiritually  for  the  work  back   home. 

Your  Board  believes,  too,  that  Montreat  is  only  in  the  beginning 
of  its  usefulness  in  this  direction,  and  so  an  institution  like  ours 
will  be  able  to  do  more  and  more  good  as  the  years  go  by. 

Your  Board  wishes  to  express  its  appreciation  and  return  sin- 
cere thanks  to  Mr.  and  Mrs.  N.  A.  Currie  of  Clarkton,  N.  C,  for  a 
Montreat   lot,  graciously  donated   by  them. 

The  Home  is  free  from  debt,  but  money  will  be  needed  to  make 
some  repairs  before  next  season,  unless  a  new  building  is  constructed. 

The  Treasurer's  report  is  hereto  attached  and  shows  the  receipts 
and  expenditures,  for  the  last  year. 

The  term  of  office  of  Eev.  "William  Black,  Rev.  W.  A.  Murray,

M.  Grier,  A.  J.  Crane,  J.  H.  Henderlite  and  Daniel  Iverson,

586  Minutes  of  the 


REPOET  or  COMMITTEE  OF  YOUNG  PEOPLE'S  WORK 

The  past  year  has  been  one  of  progress.  The  number  of  socie- 
ties has  increased  from  242  to  255,  the  membership  from  6,722  to  7,- 
551.  Contributions  to  all  causes  amounted  to  $12,331.  Reports  to 
the  Woman's  Synodical  Auxiliary  indicate  that  over  1200  young  peo- 
ple have  given  special  study  in  classes  to  Home  and  Foreign  Missions, 
which  was  doubtless  due  to  the  impetus  received  at  the  Young  Peo- 
ple's Conferences. 

The  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Presbyterian  Young  People's 
League  had  its  annual  meeting  in  Charlotte,  December  30,  and  made 
plans  to  hold  the  Young  People 's  Conference.  This  Conference  was 
conducted  at  Peace  Institute,  May  31  to  June  7.  The  school  author- 
ities made  every  effort  to  make  the  gathering  a  success,  and  the  en- 
tertainment was  all  that  could  be  desired.  The  program  was  ex- 
cellent, everything  was  harmonious,  great  enthusiasm  prevailed,  and 
a  spiritual  atmosphere  hovered  over  all.  The  fact  that  30  young 
persons  in  private  conference,  expressed  a  purpose  to  devote  their 
lives  to  definite  religious  service  shows  the  practical  value  of  the 
meeting. 

The  League  met  each  day  to  exchange  ideas  and  hear  mutual 
reports  of  their  work  in  the  local  societies.  Their  spirit  of  unity  was 
manifest,  and  they  declared  their  purpose  to  strive  for  the  objectives 
of  their  own  denomination.  The  conference  had  its  own  officers  and 
working  committees  from  the  young  people  themselves,  and  these 
carried  out  a  finely  arranged  program,  which  was  inspirational,  edu- 
cational, and  helped  to  amalgamate  the  Synodical  body  of  young 
people,  willing  to  carry  out  the  progressive  program  of  our  Church. 
The  conference  adopted  a  manual  which  was  approved  by  the  exe- 
cutive committee  of  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Presbyterian  Young 
People's  League,  and  the  League  asks  that  this  manual- be  approved 
by  Synod.     The  following  is  a  resume  of  the  manual: 

The  League  is  controlled  by  Synod  through  a    board  of  directors. 

The  annual  conference  shall  be  conducted  by  this  board. 

The  members  of  this  League  shall  be  young  people,  between  15 
and  25  years  of  age^  who  are  members  of  churches  in  the  Synod. 

The  League  makes  no  effort  to  establish  local  young  people's 
societies,  but  all  young  people  in  the  churches,  Sunday  schools,  and 
societies  are  eligible  to  membership  in  the  League. 

j         Echo  meetings  of  the  conferences  should  be  conducted  in  every 
Presbytery. 


Synod  op  North  Carolina  587 


The  finances  of  the  League  shall  be  derived  from  funds  contrib- 
uted by  the  Synod  and  the  Woman's  Auxiliary,  and  a  fee  of  five 
cents  from   each  member. 

The  League  adopts  the  denominational  objectives  of  all  kinds, 
and  encourages  all  local  societies  to  place  the  objectives  in  their 
budget. 

It  is  a  pleasure  to  report  that  15  echo  meetings  followed  the 
conference  at  Peace  Institute  in  various  sections  of  the  Synod,  at 
which  over  2,000  young  people  gathered.  Keports  were  heard  of 
those  who  had  attended  the  meetings  at  Ealeigh,  Wilmington,  Mon- 
treat,  and  New  York^  thus  bringing  the  inspiration  to  a  larger  num- 
ber than  could  get  to  these  meetings. 

The  Presbyterian  Young  People's  League  has  adopted  two  spe- 
cial funds:  The  Barium  College  Fund,  to  which  each  local  society  is 
asked  to  contribute  $1.50,  is  appropriated  to  the  support  of  an  in- 
mate of  the  Synodical  orphanage  at  one  of  our  schools.  Miss  Nealy 
Ford  is  the  present  recipient,  and  she  is  pursuing  her  studies  at  the 
Assembly's  Training  School.  $107  were  given  to  this  cause  last  year. 
The  other  fund  is  called  the  Sabbath  School  Missionary  Fund,  and 
each  society  is  asked  for  $2.00,  to  be  used  for  the  support  of  a  man 
in  our  State  in  Sunday  School  Extension. 

A  reward  is  offered,  to  stimulate  the  local  societies,  called  the 
Eamsay  Loving  Cup  to  be  awarded  to  the  society  making  the  best 
record  at  the  next  conference. 

The  executive  secretary,  after  the  conference,  sent  lists  of  dele- 
gates to   our  Synodical  schools   to   aid  in   Christian   education. 

As  to  finances,  during  the  year,  the  secretary  handled  a  total 
sum  of  $2321.41,  of  which  the  Synod  gave  $300,  the  Woman's  Aux- 
iliary $200,  delegates  fees  amounted  to  $1333,  and  the  rest  came 
from  various  sources,  as  balance  on  hand  from  last  year  of  $228.22, 
the  sale  of  books,  the  conference  store,  etc.  Total  amount  disbursed 
$1954.97,  leaving  a  balance  on  hand  of  $366.44.

Synod  of  North  Carolina  591 

The  report  of  the  committee  on  Sabbath  School  Work  was 
received  and  adopted  as  follows: 

Your  Committee  reports  that  the  Sunday  Schools  of  Synod,  in 
most  instances,  are  in  a  flourishing  conditisn.  The  enrollment  of  a 
great  number  of  the  schools  shows  a  great  increase  over  last  year. 
It  is  with  pleasure  that  we  report  that  1675  were  received  into  the 
church  from  the  Sunday  Schools  during  the  year.  It  is  also  note- 
worthy that  a  great  number  of  the  schools  have  contributed  liberally 
to  the  different  benevolent  causes  of  the  church.  There  are  many 
evidences  of  greater  interest  in  the  Sunday  school  work  of  Synod. 

W.  E.  HILL,  Chairman. 

Kev.  R.  A.  Lapsley  introduced  tlie  following  resolution 
regarding  the  election  of  a  Synodieal  Superintendent  of  Or- 
phanage work,  which  was  adopted,  and  is  as  follows : 

The  members  of  the  Board  of  Eegents,  present  at  this  meeting 
of  the  Synod,  respectfully  ask  the  Synod  to  call  as  Synodieal  Super- 
intendent of  Orphanage  work  Eev.  E.  Murphy  Williams,  of  Greens- 
boro, and  to  authorize  his  election. 

The  unfinished  business  report  of  thic  committee  on  the 
Minutes  of  the  General  Assembly  was  taken  up  and  adopted : 

The  Synod's  Committee  on  the  Minutes  of  the  General  Assembly 
reports  as  follows: 

In  response  to  the  recommendation  of  the  General  Assembly's 
Stewardship  Committee,  that  the  fall  meetings  of  Synod  and  Pres- 
byteries be  so  arranged  that  Synod  meets  before  the  fall  meeting  of 
Presbyteries,  we  recommend  that  this  change  be  not  made. 

Second,  In  view  of  the  fact  that  the  $5000.00  appropriated  by  the 
General  Assembly  of  1921  to  the  Federal  Council  is  not  a  part  of  the 
necessary  contingent  expense  of  the  General  Assembly. 

THEEEFOEE,  the  Synod  of  North  Carolina,  in  session  at  Tar- 
boro,  N.  C,  October  20th,  1921,  does  respectfully  overture  the  Gen- 
eral Assembly  to  meet  in  Charleston,  West  Virginia,  in  May,  1922, 
not  to  add  this  $5000.00  to  the  Presbyterial  tax  in  the  future. 

EespectfuUy  submitted, 

W.  C.  BEOWN,  Chairman.

THIRD  DAY— Evening  Session 

Thursday,  October  20,  1921. 

Synod  met  at  8:00  p.  m.,  and  resumed  business. 
The  Permanent  Committee  on  the  Bible  Cause  made  the 
following  report  wliich  was  adopted : 

REPORT  OF  PERMANENT  COMMITTEE  ON  BIBLE  CAUSE 

Your  Committee  on  Bible  Cause  would  call  your  attention  to  the 
very  great  importance  of  the  American  Bible  Society  as  the  source 
of  supply  of  the  printed  Bible,  the  book  above  all  others  fundamen- 
tal to  the  life  and  growth  of  the  Church.  Through  its  eleven  for- 
eign agencies,  on  five  continents  and  the  Islands  of  the  seven  seas 
foreign  agencies  on  five  continents  and  the  Islands  of  seven  seas, 
it  is  distributing  to  mankind  the  printed  Scriptures  in  over  one  hun- 
dred and  fifty  languages  and  dialects.     In  the   104  years  of  the  So- 


594  Minutes  of  the 


ciety's  existence  the  total  issue  has  been  137,903,939  volumes.  When 
we  remember  that  in  our  foreign  missionary  work  in  Brazil,  China, 
Japan,  Cuba,  Korea,  and  Mexico,  we  are  almost  entirely  dependent 
upon  this  society  for  our  Bible  supply,  and  that  otherwise  vernacular 
Bibles  could  be  obtained  only  at  enormous  expense  by  translation 
and  printing  by  us,  we  realize  how  important  this  cause  is  to  our 
work  in  foreign  countries. 

There  has  been  a  continued  and  increasing  demand  for  the  Bible 
throughout  the  whole  world  arising  from  a  distribution  of  Bibles  and 
Testaments  by  the  American  Bible  Society  to  our  soldiers  during  the 
engagement  of  the  World  War. 

Again  in  the  territory  of  our  own  church  at  home,  the  Bible  is 
being  circulated  in  some  forty  different  languages  and  dialects  to 
immigrants  who  are  becoming  an  increasingly  large  proportion  of  our 
population  even  in  North  Carolina.  Perhaps  our  ministers  and  work- 
ers might  find  a  gift  of  the  Bible  in  his  native  tongue  to  these  stran- 
gers within  our  gates  to  be  very  effective  means  of  reaching  them. 
Five  of  the  nine  home  agencies  of  the  Society  lie  in  the  bounds  of 
our  church  and  the  value  of  their  work  can  scarcely  be  overestimated. 
Today  the  Bible  is  needed  in  our  North  Carolina  homes  as  greatly 
as  ever,  or  even  more,  because  of  the  increasing  trend  to  allow  pleas- 
ure seeking  to  crowd  out  sacred  and  holy  things.  All  too  often  a 
cynical  if  not  hostile  attitude  toward  things  sacred  is  reflected  in 
the  motion  pictures,  magazines,  and  current  fiction.  The  Bible  in 
the  home  is  the  readiest  and  most  powerful  antidote  for  this  poison. 
More  and  more  with  the  crowded  curriculum  of  the  average  public 
school,  Bible  reading  is  being  crowded  out  even  in  chapel  exercises. 
In  many  States  it  is  now  barred  by  law.  It  is  of  interest  to  note 
that  a  case  is  now  pending  before  the  Supreme  Court  from  the  State 
of  Washington  to  determine  whether  the  Bible  shall  be  barred  from 
the  public  schools  of  that  State  as  at  present  is  the  case.  Thus  every 
encouragement  should  be  given  and  every  effort  made  to  place  the 
Bible  in  every  North  Carolina  home.  Through  our  connection  with 
the  American  Bible  Society,  we  are  contributing  our  efforts  to  this 
end  in  supporting  the  Bible  Cause. 

During  these  years,  the  Bible  Cause  Committee  of  King's  Moun- 
tain Presbytery  has  distributed  more  than  4000  Bibles  and  portions 
within  the  bounds  of  the  Presbytery  through  the  establishment  of 
a  depository  for  the  American  Bible  Society  in  the  congregational 
field  of  the  First  Presbyterian  Church  of  Gastonia.  This  has  been 
the  means  of  increasing  the  value  of  personal  work  through  the 
ready  entrance  obtained  into  the  homes  of  all  classes. 


Synod  of  North  Carolina  595 


It  is  encouraging  to  note  that  seemingly  there  is  an  increasing 
yearning  for  the  Bible  itself  and  Bible  study  among  the  whole  mass 
of  our  people.  We  find  this  quickened  interest  reflected  in  the  sec- 
ular as  well  as  the  religious  press.  Surely  our  ministry  is  the  natur- 
al and  most  effective  medium  of  increasing  this  awakened  interest. 

Of  the  $23,145  which  Assembly  contributed  last  year  to  this 
cause,  $3519  was  from  the  Synod  of  North  Carolina.  When  we  think 
of  the  benefits  we  have  received  from  the  work  of  the  American  Bi- 
ble Society,  not  only  in  missions  abroad  but  on  the  Home  mission 
field  of  our  own  State,  it  would  seem  that  we  are  still  very  much  their 
debtor. 

We  recommend: 

1.  That  our  ministers  faithfully  present  this  cause  to  the  peo- 
ple and  suggest  Universal  Bible  Sunday,  November  27,  as  an  ap- 
propriate day  for  special  sermon  on  this  line. 

2.  That  each  church  be  urged  to  give  this  cause  its  full  ap- 
portionment   on    the    budget. 

3.  That  all  churches  engaged  in  local  congregational  mission 
work  are  urged  to  do  more  work  in  distributing  the  Scriptures.  Ee- 
lations  can  be  established  by  writing  to  the  Southern  Agency  of 
the  American  Bible  Society,  Eichmond,  Virginia;  Eev.  M.  B.  Porter, 
Secretary.

The  special  order  for  the  evening  was  a  popular  meeting 
in  the  interest  of  Foreign  Missions.  Rev.  J.  M.  Grier,  D.  D., 
Chairman  of  the  Permanent  Committee  on  Foreign  Missions, 
presented  the-  annual  report,  which  was  received,  and,  pend- 
ing its  adoption.  Synod  heard  interesting  addresses  on  our 
work  in  China,  by  Dr.  D.  W.  Richardson,  of  the  Synod  of 
South  Carolina,  and  Rev.  Lacy  L.  Little. 

The  report  was  adopted  as  a  whole  and  is  as  follows : 

REPOET   OF   COMMITTEE    ON   FOREIGN  MISSIONS 

In  presenting  report  on  progress  made  by  our  church  in  obeying 
her  Master's  great  command,  "Go  ye  into  all  the  world  and  preach 
the  gospel,"  we  are  thankful  to  note  increase  in  additions  to  our 
church  abroad  on  confession  of  faith,  4690  being  thus  added.

Minutes  of  the 


We  note  also  increased  interest  in  this  great  cause  as  evidenced 
by  $75,971.00  increase  in  gifts  over  those  of  preceding  year.  Total 
contributions  by  whole  church  being  $1,153,629.00,  for  year  ending 
March  31st,  1921. 

To  offset  these  encouraging  features  is  the  advance  in  cost  of 
administering  the  work  which  increased  more  rapidly  than  the  gifts 
to  cause — making  a  deficit  for  the  year,  of  $79,186.00,  which  added 
to  accumulated  deficit  of  preceding  years,  makes  a  total  of  $242,- 
626.00. 

We  do  well  to  recount  the  part  our  own  Synod  performed  during 
past  year.  Increase  in  gifts  in  our  bounds  was  $57,912.00  over  pre- 
ceding year — ^making  an  increase  of  $342,000.00.  .  Had  this  ratio  of 
increase  been  maintained  over  whole  church,  our  indebtedness  would 
have  been  wiped  out  and  $125,933.00  would  have  been  left  in  the 
treasury.  Every  Presbytery  in  the  Synod  shared  in  this  increase, 
and  we  deem  it  of  sufficient  importance  as  to  justify  detailed  state- 
ment for  two  preceding  years: 

Albemarle  gave  in  1921,     $12230  in  1920, 

27380  in  1920, 
35348  in  1920, 
10331  in  1920, 
35664  in  1920. 
69376  in  1920, 
34132  in  1920, 


Concord  gave  in  1921, 

Fayetteville  gave  in  1921, 

King's    Mtn.  gave  in  1921, 

Mecklenburg  gave  in  1921, 

Orange  gave  in  1921, 

Wilmington  gave  in  1921,

Synod 


gave  in  1921,  $223861  in  1920,  $165949  increase$57922 


We  can  but  be  moved  by  the  church 's  slowness  of  heart  to  an- 
swer her  Lord 's  command,  yet  if  we  glance  backward  and  make  com- 
parison by  ten  year  periods  there  is  still  greater  cause  for  gratitude 
to  God  for  working  in  the  hearts  of  people  in  our  Sj^nod  to  respond 
by  giving.  In  1871,  just  fifty  years  ago,  our  Synod  gave  to  this 
cause  $1928.00,  in  1881  gifts  rose  to  $5917.00,  in  1891  to  $20393.00. 
Next  ten  years  marked  a  slight  decrease  as  the  churches  in  the  pres- 
ent bounds  of  our  Synod  gave  only  $19430.00  in  1901.  But  in  1911 
gifts  rose  to  $71,165,  while  in  1921  (as  noted  above)  gifts  were  $223,- 
861. 

Nor  has  our  interest  been  confined  to  financial  gifts,  we  have 
made  the  more  costly  offering;  forty-two  of  our  sons  and  daughters 
now  being  engaged  in  mission  work  abroad. 

We  note  with  gratitude  that  in  early  months  of  present  year 
trirty-four  new  missionaries  were  sent  out  to  reinforce  our  sorely 
tried   and  over-worked   laborers  abroad. 


Synod  of  North  Carolina  597 

In  view  of  the  great  scarcity  of  physicians  in  many  of  our  mis- 
sions abroad,  we  recommend  that  Synod  directs  her  pastors  and  ses- 
sions to  call  attention  of  our  consecrated  physicians  to  this  impera- 
tive need  and  encourage  them  to  volunteer  for  this  service. 

J.  M.  GKIEE,  Chairman. 

The  committee  on  the  Minutes  of  Synod  made  the  follow- 
ing report  which  was  adopted : 

Your  committee  on  the  Minutes  of  Synod  respectfully  report: 

1.  That  a  certified  copy  of  the  Minutes  of  1920  was  placed  in 
our  hands  and  was  carefully   examined. 

2.  That  we  find  that  the  Minutes  seem  to  be  faithfully  kept 
and  are  correctly  and  neatly  printed. 

3.  That  the  Minutes  were  submitted  to  the  General  Assembly 
in  St.  Louis,  Missouri,  for  review,  and  were  examined  and  approved 
by  that  body. 

4.  We  recommend  the  approval  of  the   Minutes  by  the  Synod. 

Eespectfully  submitted, 

EUGENE  ALEXANDEE,  Chairman. 

The  committee  on  the  Sabbath  and  Family  Religion  made 
the  following  report  which  was  adopted : 

REPORT  ON  SABBATH  OBSERVANCE  AND  FAMILY  RELIGION 

Your  committee  begs  to  make  the  following  report: 

That  as  we  have  been  commanded  to  "Eemember  the  Sabbath 
Day  to  keep  it  holy"  (Exodus  20:8)  and  as  we  see  that  command- 
ment continually  being  shamefully  broken,  week  after  week,  not  only 
by  the  people  in  general,  but  we  are  sorry  to  say  by  thousands  who 
claim  Christ  as  Lord  and  Master,  we  have  to  report  that  the  Ameri- 
ican  Christian  Sabbath  is  in  danger  of  becoming  a  thing  of  the  past 
unless  the  Church  of  the  living  God  sounds  the  alarm  and  God's  peo- 
ple return  to  Him  who  is  willing  to  forgive  when  they  repent. 

From  all  reports  come  the  sad  news  that  family  altars  are  few 
and  that  personal  obligations  to  the  church  service  are  lightly  con- 
sidered. The  study  of  the  Word  and  the  Catechisms  in  both  homes 
and  churcljes  i§  sadly  neglected. 


598  Minutes  op  the 


The  great  need  of  our  land  today  is  men  and  women  strong  and 
true  made  so  by  the  Word  being  hid  in  their  hearts  and  practiced  in 
their  lives. 

In  the  church  service  we  seldom  find  God's  people  with  the 
Word  in  their  hands,  and  sometimes  very  little  of  it  being  read  in 
their   homes. 

•On  the  other  hand  we  are  glad  to  report  that  we  believe  there  is 
an  improvement  along  the  lines  of  Bible  study  and  Sabbath  observ- 
ance among  the  people  of  our  church  as  the  result  of  an  awakening 
to  the  need  of  God 's  Word  and  reverence  for  His  day  and  house. 

Your  committee   begs  to  offer  the   following  recommendations: 

1.  That  the  parents  of  our  beloved  church  be  called  upon  to  rear 
in  their  homes  the  family  altar,  to  read  and  pray  with  their  children, 
to  go  with  and  be  with  them  in  the  Bible  schools,  to  have  them  with 
them  in  the  church  services  and  to  teach  them  to  give  of  their  sub- 
stance to  the  Lord's  work. 

2.  That  the  churches  and  Bible  schools  be  called  upon  as  never 
before  to  warn  against  Sabbath  desecration  and  to  remind  the  people 
of  the  evils  that  comes  therefrom. 

3.  That  our  Bible  schools  be  urged  to  teach  the  Word  and  the 
Catechisms  w^ith  an  earnestness  that  we  believe  God's  command  re- 
quires. 

4.  That  in  view  of  the  fact  that  the  coming  General  Assembly 
is  to  be  an  "Evangelistic  Assembly"  we  would  urge  that  an  effort  be 
made  by  the  sessions  to  establish  in  their  churches  and  Bible  schools 
a   "Laymen's   Evangelistic    Circle." 

5.  That  we  ask  the  Synod  to  now  render  unto  God  a  special 
prayer  of  praise  and  thanksgiving  for  what  has  been  accomplished 
and  to  most  earnestly  entreat  our  Heavenly  Father,  for  Christ's  sake 
to  give  us  through  His  holy  Spirit  a  conception  of  the  great  need  and 
his  willingness  and  readiness  to  use  and  bless  us  in  our  efforts  to  re- 
store the  Christian  Sabbath  and  Family  Religion  in  the  hearts  of 
men  as  we  believe  God  has  ordained. 

Respectfully    submitted, 

GEORGE   W.   LEE,   Chairman. 

Synod  was  then  led  in  prayer,  by  Kev.  C.  B.  Craig,  for 
God's  blessing  on  these  two  fundamental  Christian  institu- 
tions. 


Synod  of  North  Carolina  599 

The  following  resolution  of  thanks  was  adopted  by  a  ris- 
ing- vote : 

The  members  of  the  Synod  of  North  Carolina  in  108th  Session, 
wish  to  express  to  the  Howard  Memorial  Church,  to  the  members  of 
other  churches,  all  other  citizens  of  Tarboro,  and  the  William  and 
Mary  Hart  and  Pinetops  churches  their  grateful  appreciation  and 
thanks  for  the  splendid  way  in  which  they  have  been  entertained  and 
for  all  of  the  special  courtesies  that  have  been  shown  them. 

TV^e  wish  especially  to  thank  the  pastor  of  the  church  and  Mr. 
George  Howard  for  their  constant  service  to  us  while  here. 

We  wish  to  thank  all  of  the  committees  of  the  cturch  for  their 
efforts  both  before  and  during  the  meeting  of  Synod,  to  make  our 
stay  here  comfortable  and  pleasant,  and  to  say  that  they  have  suc- 
ceeded in  an  eminent  degree. 

We  wish  to  thank  the  ladies  of  the  Howard  Memorial  church 
for  the  elegant  way  in  which  they  served  us  at  luncheon  on  Wednes- 
day; and  the  people  of  the  William  and  Mary  Hart  Chapel  for  the 
suptuous   barbecue   dinner   served  us   on   Thursday. 

We  wish  to  express  our  gratitude  to  the  choir  of  the  church  and 
to  Mrs.  Wandeen  Webber  of  Peace  Institute  for  the  special  music 
rendered. 

We  express  with  appreciation  our  thanks  to  the  stenographers 
who  have  served  the  Synod;  to  Miss  Nannie  Graham,  who  has  con- 
ducted the  Information  Bureau;  to  the  Carolina  Telephone  and  Tel- 
egram Company  for  the  installing  and  use  of  a  telephone;  to  the- 
city  paper  ' '  The  Southerner ' '  for  the  full  and  complete  way  in  which 
it  has  carried  the  accounts  of  the  meetings;  to  the  Kaleigh  papers 
and  the  Greensboro  Daily  News  for  services  'rendered  and  to  the 
Atlantic  Coast  Line  Railroad  Company  for  the  manner  in  which  it 
has  served  us. 

As  all  of  these  have  contributed  to  our  comfort  and  pleasure  and 
blessing,  so  we  in  turn  pray  that  our  stay  here  may  prove  a  blessing 
to    them. 

Adopted  by  rising  vote.

600  Minutes  of  the 


FOURTH  DAY— Morning  Session 

Tarboro,  N.  C,  Friday,  Oct.  21,  1921. 

The  Synod  met  at  9:00  o'clock  and  Devotional  Exercises 
were  conducted  by  Eev.  W.  A.  Murray. 

The  Minutes  of  yesterday's  sessions  were  read  and  ap- 
proved. 

The  Historical  Committee  reported  that  it  had  nothing 
of  importance  to  report.     Adopted. 

It  was  ordered  that  the  Superintendent  of  Home  Mis- 
sions, Rev.  A.  W.  Crawford,  be  made  a  special  committee  to 
assist  the  Stated  Clerks  of  the  Presbyteries,  in  securing  a  cor- 
rect list  of  the  Elders  and  Deacons  of  the  Synod  and  their  ad- 
dresses. 

It  was  ordered  that  the  usual  number,  (1000)  of  minutes, 
including  the  list  of  Elders  and  Deacons,  be  published,  and, 
in  addition,  200  extra  copies  of  this  list  of  Elders  and  Dea- 
cons be  published  separately,  to  make  the  whole  number  1200 
copies. 

A  supplement  to  the  report  on  Nominations  was  adopted,

Synod  op  Noeth  Carolina  601 

Dr.  Bridges  was  requested  to  have  the  Moderator's  ser- 
mon published  iu  the  Presbyterian  Standard. 

The  following  Resolutions  in  regard  to  the  Presbyterian 
Standard  was  adopted: 

The  Syuod  of  North  Carolina  iu  Session  at  Tarboro,  North  Car- 
olina, wishes  to  record  its  hearty  and  grateful  appreciation  of  the 
splendid  work  and  increasing  influence  of  the  Presbyterian  Standard. 

We  endorse  with  high  admiration  the  editorial  management  of 
the  paper.  We  warmly  commend  the  Standard  to  our  people  as  the 
official  organ  of  the  Synod  and  earnestly  urge  our  ministers  and  ses- 
sions to  endeavor  to  place  it  iu  every  Presbyterian  home  in  the  Synod. 

The  following  report  on  the  Narratives  or  Addresses  to 
the  Churches  was  adopted : 

The   committee  on  Narrative  respectfully  reports   as  follows: 

1.  Reports  from  the  Presbyteries  indicate  that  most  of  the 
churches  are  supplied  with  preaching,  but  many  of  them  have  ser- 
vices on  only  two  Sundays  a  month,  and  some  of  them  on  only  one 
Sunday. 

2.  Probably  sixty-five  per  cent  of  the  church  members  attend 
the  Sabbath  services  with  reasonable  regularity,  and  not  more  than 
twenty  or  twenty-five  per  cent  attend  the  weekly  prayer  meeting. 

3.  The  number  of  additions  on  profession  of  faith  is  encourag- 
ing and  calls  for  profound  gratitude.  The  reported  additions  by  let- 
ter encouiages  the  belief  that  those  who  move  their  homes  usually 
transfer  their  membership. 

•i.  A  large  proportion  of  the  additions  on  profession  are  from 
the  Sunday  school. 

5.  Most  of  the  churches  have  held  at  least  one  series  of  evan- 
gelistic services,  resulting  in  some  instances  in  accessions  to  the  mem- 
bership and  in  stimulating  the  spiritual  life  of  older  members. 

6.  It  is  painfully  evident  that  comparatively  few  families  hold 
family  worship,  and  fewer  still  belong  to  the  Family  Altar  League. 

7.  Most  of  the  churches  hold  at  least  two  communion  services 
a  year,  a  few  of  them  only  one.  These  services  do  not  appear  to  be 
attended  by  more  than  seventy  per  cent  of  the  membership. 


602  Minutes  of  the 


8.  A  fairly  good  observance  of  the  Sabbath  is  generally  report- 
ed, but  it  is  probably  due  to  lowering  of  the  standard  rather  than 
to  a  due  regard  for  the  sanctity  of  the  day. 

9.  We  fear  that  in  many  of  our  churches  there  is  less  faithful- 
ness than  formerly  on  the  part  of  parents  in  presenting  their  chil- 
dren for  baptism. 

10.  Many  parents,  we  fear,  are  remiss  in  the  duty  of  teaching 
their  children  the  catechisms — -too  generally  relegating  this  impor- 
tant work  to  the  Sunday  school  teachers. 

11.  The  catechisms  are  taught  in  many  of  the  Sunday  schools, 
but  their  use  is  not  so  general  as  it  should  be. 

12.  Pupils  memorize  the  Scriptures  to  a  small  extent.  There 
appears  to  be  no  general  effort  to  have  them  memorize  hymns. 

13.  Pastors  are  faithful  almost  without  exception  in  teaching 
the  duty   of   Stewardship. 

14.  We  believe  the  number  of  tithers  is  increasing,  but  not 
mth   encouraging  rapidity. 

15.  Only  a  small  proportion  of  the  churches  paid  in  full  the  ap- 
portionments for  benevolences. 

16.  Pastors'   salaries  have  generally  been  fully  paid. 

17.  The  formal  reports  indicate  that  worldly  conformity  is  not 
generally  prevalent,  but  we  fear  that  these  reports  are  due  to  a  low 
standard  rather  than  to  a  high  state  of  spirituality. 

18.  Few  of  the  churches  report  evangelistic  services  outside  of 
their  bounds,  due  doubtless  to  the  fact  that  there  is  no  territory  con- 
tiguous  that   is   not   within   the  bounds  of  neighboring  churches. 

19.  We  do  not  believe  that  earnest  and  systematic  efforts  by  pas- 
tors and  sessions  to  secure  recruits  for  the  ministry  are  as  general  as 
they  should  be,  and  Synod  urges  upon  the  churches  a  more  faithful 
consideration  of   this   all-important   subject. 

Eespectfully   submitted, 

W.  E.  COPPEDGE,  Chairman. 

The  eonunittee  on  Leave  of  Absence  reported  as  follows, 
which  was  adopted:

cordance with  the  Charter  the  Board  elected  in  their  place  to  serve 
until  this  meeting  of  Synod,  Mr.  C.  A.  Clark,  of  Clarkton,  Mrs.  A. 
M.  Fairley,  of  Laurinburg,  and  Mrs.  Edward  J.  Johnson,  of  Winston- 
Salem.  The  Board  has  held  four  meetings  during  the  year,  three  of 
them  at  the  Orphanage.  These  meetings  have  been  well  attended. 
From  the  regular  annual  meeting  last  week,  only  one  member  was  ab- 
sent. We  have  made  a  careful  examination  of  the  buildings,  grounds, 
equipment,  farm  and  dairy,  and  have  gone  as  thoroughly  as  possible 
into  all  questions  of  management,  policy,  finance  and  future  progress. 

In  addition  to  this  the  Executive  Committee  spent  two  whole  days 
at  Barium,  and  held  one  meeting  in  Charlotte.  Different  members  of 
the  Board  have  from  time  to  time  visited  the  institution  in  order 
that  they  might  keep  in  closest  touch  with  the  work. 

CHILDEEN 

We  are  now  caring  for  234  children,  120  boys,  and  114  girls. 
Their  health  during  the  year  has  been  good.  There  have  been  no 
serious  epidemics  and  no  deaths.  These  children  appear  to  be  happy 
and  contented,  and  are  comfortably  clothed  and  given  an  abundance- 
of  wholesome  food.  The  superintendent  and  teachers  eat  with  the 
-.'hildren  in  the  dining-room.  Upon  the  advice  of  the  home  physi- 
cian thirty  children  have  had  tonsils  and  adenoids  removed  and  quite 
a  number  have  been  fitted  with  glasses.  We  believe  that  the  morale 
of  the  institution  has  shown  real  improvement  during  the  year.  There 
have  been  only  four  runaways,  as  against  thirty-eight  last  year. 
Children  have  shown  unwillingness  to  leave  the  Home  to  go  into  the 
private  homes  of  people  who  wish  to  adopt  them.  And  a  most  grati- 
fying desire  to  fix  up  and  keep  the  cottages  attractive  is  being  shown 
by  the   children   themselves. 

IMPROVEMENTS 

During  the  year  a  number  of  improvements  have  been  made. 
Most  of  these  improvements  were  authorized  by  the  old  Board  and 
we  have  merely  carried  out  their  plans.  The  mechanical  department 
with  the  aid  of  the  boys  and  two  carpenters  have  repaired  the  Alex- 
ander Building,  the  old  Industrial  Building,  which  had  been  destroy- 
ed by  fire.  It  has  been  converted  into  a  boy's  dormitory  and  will 
furnish  nepded  quarters  for  the  squad  of  dairy  boys.     These  boys  had 


614  Minutes  of  the 


been  housed  in  Eound  Knob  Cottage,  which  was  merel}'  an  old  barn 
fitted  up  temporarily  as  a  make-shift.  A  modern  potato  house  has 
also  been  completed  during  the  year  for  the  housing  of  potatoes,  a 
big  item  in  the  food  supply  of  the  Home.  The  necessary  repairs  have 
been  made  on  different  buildings  and  some  necessary  equipment  pur- 
chased to  the  amount  of  $2,659.50.  Through  the  generosity  of  Messrs 
James  and  W.  H.  Sprunt  of  Wilmington,  the  Sprunt  Infirmary  has 
been  supplied  with  additional  equipment  in  the  way  of  tables,  beds, 
etc.  The  Board  has  also  purchased  and  placed  at  the  cottages,  play- 
ground equipment,  consisting  of  slides,  giant  strides  and  swings. 
These  things  have  added  much  to  the  pleasure  of  the  children,  and 
have  been  the  source  of  much  innocent  and  wholesome  enjoyment. 

BUILDINGS 

A  careful  examination  of  the  present  buildings  show  that  all 
are  in  need  of  repairs.  There  should  be,  as  soon  as  possible,  a  com- 
plete overhauling  of  all  the  cottages.  We  hope  that  Synod  will  pro- 
vide funds  with  which  this  can  be  done.  It  will  be  a  matter  of  good 
business  to  do  this.  It  will  also  exert  a  wholesome  influence  upon 
the  children  themselves,  as  shabby  buildings  cannot  V)ut  tend  to  de- 
velop in  them  careless  and  slip-shod  traits  of  character. 

The  Board  has  authorized  the  construction  of  two  new  buildings. 
The  contracts  have  been  let  and  the  work  begun.  The  first  is  a  cot- 
tage for  girls  to  be  known  as  the  Woman's  Building.  This  building 
is  located  just  across  the  road  from  Howard  Cottage.  It  will  be  a 
two-story,  brick  structure  152  by  48  feet.  It  will  accomodate  sixty- 
four  girls.  It  is  of  the  latest  type  of  construction,  each  floor  being 
a  separate  unit  with  separate  entrances  and  smoke-proof  stairways. 
It  will  indeed  be  a  double  cottage,  with  a  matron  and  entirely  sep- 
arate group  of  girls  on  each  floor.  The  large  basement  will  be  well 
lighted  and  fitted  up  for  play-rooms  for  indoor  games  and  systematic 
exercises.  This  building  will  cost  about  $65,000,  complete  and  fur- 
nished. Of  this  amount  the  women  of  the  State  have  already  in 
hand  $45,000  and  are  enthusiastically  proceeding  with  the  task  of 
raising  the  balance.  They  have  through  their  leaders  pledged  them- 
selves to  the  completion  and  furnishing  of  this  building. 

The  second  building  is  a  new  dining-room  and  kitchen.  This 
building  will  be  the  old  Eumple  Hall  greatly  enlarged  and  improved. 
Two  new  wings  will  be  added.  The  old  kitchen  which  was  entirely 
inadequate  will  be  torn  away  and  a  modern,  up-to-datb  kitchen  built 
in  its  place.  Wh^n  finished  this  building  will  provide  a  dining- 
room  for  500  children  and  the  necessary  workers,  a  kitchen  of  suffi- 
cient size  to   prepare  food  for  this  nunjber,   dormitory   space   for   62 


Synod  op  North  Carolina  615 

girls,  the  number  required  to  do  the  work  in  the  dining-room  and 
kitchen.  This  building  will  cost  when  completed  and  furnished  $60,- 
000.  In  going  ahead  with  these  projects  the  Board  feels  that  it  has 
but  carried  out  the  instructions  of  the  Synod  last  year,  and  the  ac- 
tions of  previous  years. 

INDUSTRIAL  TRAINING 

The  Board  of  Regents  feel  that  more  emphasis  should  be  laid 
on  this  part  of  the  work  of  the  Home.  The  destruction  by  fire  of 
the  Industrial  Building  and  the  printing  plant  has  broken  up  the 
training  of  the  boys  along  this  line.  A  business  course  should  be 
added  to  the  school  curriculum.  The  Board  has  this  matter  under 
consideration  and  has  a  special  committee  appointed  to  study  the 
whole  subject  of  industrial  training  and  bring  in  recommendations 
at  its  next  meeting. 

SUPERINTENDENT  OF  ORPHANS'  WORK 

Rev.  W.  T.  Walker,  the  Superintendent  or  Orphans'  work  for  the 
State,  tendered  his  resignation  as  such  the  first  of  the  year.  The 
Board  believes  that  there  is  a  great  field  here  for  development,  out- 
side and  beyond  the  work  of  the  Home  itself.  The  work  of  the  Su- 
perintendent of  Orphans'  has  already  been  fourfold:  "First,  an  effort 
to  establish  an  Orphans'  Home  for  paying  inmates;  second,  making 
some  provision  for  children  having  no  recognized  parents;  third,  aid- 
ing Christian  mothers  who  have  lost  their  husbands  and  lack  means 
in  rearing  their  own  children,  and  fourth,  finding  suitable  orphans  to 
be  adopted  by  parents  having  means,  but  no  children. ' '  The  Board 
has  been  in  search  of  a  man  for  this  work,  but  has  so  far  been  un- 
able to  find  him. 

BEQUESTS 

During  the  year  the  Board  has  received  from  the  will  of  Mrs. 
Mary  D.  Scott,  $2,270.49,  by  bequest  through  the  will  of  R.  R.  King, 
$100.00,  and  by  bequest  through  the  wt.11  of  J.  C.  Burroughs  a  balance 
of  $18,542.96;  making  a  total  of  $20,913.45,  which  has  been  received 
during  the  year.  In  addition  to  these  amounts  already  received,  the 
institution  will  receive  a  bequest  of  $25,000,  through  the  will  of  the 
late  George  Watts,  of  Durham.  We  would  lay  upon  the  hearts  of 
our  people  very  earnestly  this  mode  of  helping  our  Orphans '  work. 
We  hope  that  it  will  mor.^  and  more  become  the  custom  of  the  Pres 
byterians  throughout  the  State  to  remember  the  Orphanage  in  their 
wills. 


616  Minutes  of  the 


FINANCE 

The  Treasurer  's  report,  which  is  appended  to  this,  shows  that  our 
receipts  for  the  year  have  been  $59,868.59.  This  is  a  loss  of  $i, 235.42 
in  the  contributions  of  the  churches.  We  sincerely  hope  that  this 
does  not  mean  a  falling  off  of  interest  in  the  orphange  work.  The 
enlarged  building  program  will  add  this  coming  year  a  hundred  new 
children  and   increase  correspondingly   our   expenses. 

The  total  expenditures  for  the  year  were  $66,210.03.  Of  that 
amount  $5,410.97  was  expended  for  items  that  have  been  ordered  by 
the  previous  Board,  including  a  truck,  an  automobile,  a  piano  and 
certain  building  repairs,  leaving  the  total  expenditures  for  the  year 
under  the  new  management  $60,799.06,  an  increase  of  $1,969.60.  We 
begin  the  new  year  with  a  balance  of  $5,032.24.  The  Treasurer's 
books  have  been  audited  by  Todd  &  McCullough,  certified  accountants, 
of  Charlotte,  N.  C,  and  their  report  is  attached. 

We  also   make  the  following  recommendations: 

1.  That  the  S^'nod  set  as  its  goal  for  its  Orphans'  Home  the 
care  of  at  least  500  children  and  pledge  itself  to  provide  as  soon  as 
possible  the  necessary  cottages  and  buildings  to  properly  take  care 
of  this  number. 

2.  That  the  Synod  approve  the  action  of  the  Board  in  ordering 
the  construction  of  the  Woman's  Building  for  girls. 

3.  That  the  Synod  approve  the  action  of  the  Board  in  the  re- 
modeling of  Kumple  Hall. 

4.  That  the  Synod  approve  the  Thanksgiving  Campaign  for 
$125,000,  $25,000  to  be  used  for  support  fund  and  $100,000  for  build- 
ing fund,  the  latter  amount  to  be  distributed  as  follows:  $65,000  for 
the  work  of  Eumple  Hall;  $10,000  for  the  laundry  building,  and  $25,- 
000  for  repairs. 

5.  That  the  Synod  once  more  urge  the  Sunday  schools  to  give 
at  least  one  Sunday  a  month  to  an  offering  for  the  support  fund,  as 
one  of  the  best  ways  of  providing  for  the  work. 

6.  That  the  Synod  apportion  the  sum  of  $75,000,  and  that  it 
be  divided  among  the  Presbyteries  as  follows: 

Albemarle     $  7600
