Meets In the Aveleigh Presbyterian Church-Great Success of Day idson dollege. The Presbytery of Sc-nth rarolina, one of the six presbyteries. compow ing the synod of the Presbyterian 1 church in South Carolina, began its I annual session in the Aveleigh Pres byterian church this city, on Tuesday night. The other presbyteries of the synod are Bethel, Charleston, Har mony, Pee Dee and Enoree. There are about sixty ministers in the South Carolina Presbytery, and many laymen. representing various churches are in attendance. The annual sermon was delivered by the Rev. J. C. Shive. The organi zation was effected by the choice of Rev. J. J. Harrell as moderator. Rev. S. L. Wilson as regular clerk and Rev. I J. E. James as temporary clerk. On Wednesday morning, much of the session was occupied with routine work, hearing reports from the va- I rious congretations, the reporting of 1 calls extended during the year. that ! they mi0ht be ratified by the presby- 4 tery. The deepest interest was aroused r by the report from Davidson college. 2 This is the institution of the church ( n1 the Carolinas and Florida. The' -iresident reported the current year as )i he most successful in the history of f lie institution. not alone because of v he enrollnent, two hundred and sev- I nnty-five students as over against e wi hundred and twenty-eight last \ ear, but because of a spiritual work I hat has scarcely been parallelled in I 1ny college history. In common with i! ill the denominations the Presbyte -ian church has felt the decline of in erest on the part of its young men in ooking forward to the ministry as a ife work. Several years ago the I ynods and presbyteries of the south oegan making these conditions the ubject of special prayer. The re tilts have been seen in Davidson col ege. In 1902-1903 there were in the nstitution 34 candidates for the min- t stry; in 1903-1904, 44: in 1904-1905, ,3. At the opening of the session of 905-1906, a deep religious interest egan to pervade the institution, rowing in intensity throughout the ear, until at this time more than one bird of the whole student body is se iously considering the claims of the iinistry. Twenty-five students dur !ig the year have decided the matter avorably, and others will likely take t bie same step. The number of candi ates for the 'ministry now in college ; eighty, an( twenty of them are en- t olled in the Student Volunteer Move- a ent, for work in the foreign field, if bey should be called. t The subject of Foreign Missions C aIs discussed under the direction of ev. J. C. Shive. The principal ad resses were those of Rev. A. H. Vood~son, w~ho sp)oke interestingly 13d enithusiasticailly on '' Leadership ai Foreign Missions,'' and Dr'. J. r ,owery3 Wilson, who spoke in his us' ai p,leasing and forceful manner ofa hie great work accomplished by the0 biurch. Hie recalled the days of fire n<d blood of the 00'a when the Pies yterian church in the south was or anized1 as a separate body fr'om thet lheu existing church in the whole a ~nited1 States. He stated that it was iorn a missionary church, dwelling hi poni thle faict that with t'e coast 1: lockaded and her young men falling 1h pon the bloody fields of ''Dixie'' yet f he made this subject one of vital in- , erest. Starting with about 60,000 e pembers she has grown to 250,000. 'his ,thc speaker characterized as a woinderful stride and nlo doutbt due o the fact of this interest in foreign nissions. Dr. Wilson was born on thes ~oil of missionary territory, and wvas )ap)tize.d as lie said ''oni the banks of thie Ganges.' Tlhie session last evening was devot adl to the interests of Home Missions. Addresses were made by Rev. T. D. C~artledge, Rev. J. J. Harrell andl by several other ministers and elders. The pop)ular meetings were most instruc tive and created much interest.

But with such a trio as the above named in search, there Is no safe place of concealment-on their approach even dead brush will yield fruit.
