RtTLERg OF THE CHURClf.
Convention of the Elder and Deacons
of Mecklenburg-Presbytery.
The fourth annual convention of the
elders and deacoi s of Mecklenburg
Tresbytery opened at Sharon church
oh Tuesday moving, August 6ih. fThe
officers pf Sharon had spared no pains
to make all arrangements complete.
Delegates from a distance were met
with conveyances, and after a pleasant
drive of. seven miles through waving
corn and blooming cotton fields, found
pleasant bonus aud ' most generous
hospitality awaiting them.
,. , - FIRST DAY.
Elder T C Price, of Steel Creek, con
ducted the devotional services.
The permanent officers chosen, were
Elder R McNeely, president; Deacons
D F Dixon and J T ; Coit, vice-presidents,
and A S Caldwell, secretary.
The first topic for discussion, "The
Scope and Object of this Convention'
was then introduced by Elder John A
Younjj, and the following resolutions
were adopted :
itesoft?ei,Tbat the scope of the delib
eration and councils of the elders and
deacons', convention is coextensive
with the interests of the church in all
matters which devolve upon their of
ficers. Resolved, That the purpose of the
convention of the elders and deacons,
is, to elicit information from the officers
of each church in the Presbytery in re
gard to the manner in which its affairs
are managed, and the manner in
which the officers of each discharge
the duties devolving upon them in re
lation to the different enterprises of the
churchy ith the view of correcting
errors which may exist, and to adopt
such measures as shall tend to promote '
the general welfare of the church, ele
vate, the. standard of piety, increase
christian zeal and actiyity amongst the
officers and members of each.
On the next topic for discussion,
"Duties of the Eldership in Relation
to Visiting the Congregation," the fol
lowing resolutions were adopted :
Resolved, 1st, That it is the opinion
of this convention, that it is the duty
of elders, in their official capacity, to
systematically visit the families, in
their respective congregations, over
which the Holy Ghost hath made
them overseers.
2nd, That we, the elders present at
this convention, will use our influence
to get the sessions to which we respect
ively belong, to divide the congrega
tions into as many districts as there are
elders, and to assi :n to each elder his
district, and that we will put into prac
tice the sentiments of resolution 1st.
. 3rd. That this convention overture
the Fresby tery of Mecklenburg to direct
its ministers to fully instruct from the
pulpit, their respective congregations
in regard to the- relative and mutual
duties of the eldership and congregat
ion. The discussion ou the duties of the
elderships to the Sabbath school, was
of great interest, and brought out the
fact that the majority of our elders are
active workers in this important field,
though in mony churches only one
elder was reported in the Sunday
school. Elder Scarr delivered an elo
quent and impressive address on this
topic
The convention passed a resolution
that our elders should oversee the vari
ous Sabbath schoolc, and themselves
engage in instructing the youth of our
Church. Also a resolution requesting
the Presbytery to appoint a Presbyte
rian agent for Sabbath schools.
SECOND DAY.
The attendance was much larger, the
church being well Allied. Devotional
exercises conducted by Elder F Scarr.
The responses on the "Duties of El
ders in Relation to the Prayer Meet
ing," were numerous, showing that
delegates had not come merely to be
entertained to have a goxl time but
had come for instructions, for help,
for ideas, for practical methods, the
adoption of which might help them in
their important work. The prevail
ing opinion was that long prayers, long
hymns and co?d aqd listless meetings,
should .ba among the things of the
past.
Elder Young paid a glowing tribute
to the influence of the Young Men's
Christian Association, and the young
men's church prayer meeting in the
influence their methods had exerted.
Elder R D Johnston urged in a few
earnest words tfre importance of defin
ite objects in our. prayers ; that all
should know the subject of prayer for
each meeting, should study the Bible
dri that subject and come to the meet.
ng in'a frame of rnind in sympathy
with the subject ; all hymns, prayers,
remarks; Ac, to bear on the one sub-
ect and carry it heme to mind and
heart.
sThe af tei noon session, was spent in
discussing the'finahces of the various
churches and the best methods of
managing them.
The spiritual nature of the deacon e
office was also discussed, and on invi
tation Rev Dr Parks stated the teach;
inga of pur. church on that ubject.
, THIBD PAY.
Elder Kincaid. of Gaston, conducted
the devotional exercises, and so won
the hearts of the convention by his
modest worth and zeal that Olney, the
church he well represented, was unani
mously chosen as the Dext place of
meeting. , .
Elders Jno A Young, R D Johnston
and Deacon J Snow were appointed a
eammittee on programme of the next
convention. and Elders J R Kincaid,
Jas feb)iand :and Deacon, J H Tor
rence a local oommittee on transport
tetioniand arrangement. r&sAl iq
The work of the Bible society was
then introduced in an earnest and ef
fective address by Elder Young, show
ing the importance of the wbrk ad

Whereas, The Bib,le society11 tieing
it stituted for the- purpose of circula
ting the Scriptures of Divine Truth'
ana especially of supplying the desti
tute who have not the means of bro
curing it for themselyes, and having
beefireoognued by the General As
sembly of the Presby teriau Church in
the United States, and commended to
its congregations and members for
their aid and support, orf"
Retolved.Hhtii this convention of el
ders and deacons of Mecklenburg Pres
bytery do recognize it as a duty ineum
bent upon us as office bearers in our
churches regularly to present the claims
of the Bible society to our respective
congregations,, and anord the mem
berg thereof an opportunity to contri
bute to its support.
Resolveo, That if there be any county
embraced in the limits of Mecklenburg
Presbytery in which there is not a Bi
ble society, we do hereby call upon the
officers of our churches in such coun
ty to confer with the other Christian
denominations in such county, and in
conjunction, with them, proceed as
early as practicable to organize a so
ciety, auxiliary to the American Bible
society, through the aid of which they
may be able to supply their own desti
tute, and to co operate with fellow
ohristians in obedience to the divine
command, in circulating the Scriptures
throughout the earth.
Elder H K Reid introduced the next
topic, "Representation on Church
Courts," in an earnest and forcible
speech, and offered the following reso
lutions, which, after being fully discuss
ed, were laid on the table until our
next meeting :
Whebea8, The ruling eldtr who
represents the church in the session of
Presbytery being equally responsible
with the teaching elder for the man
ner in which his duties are discharged.
and
Whereas, The usefulness of the el
der as a representative in Presbytery is
imyaired by the present method of ro
tation, Resolved, Ibat we believe the evils
resulting from the custom, would be in
a great measure obviated by electing a
representative from the eldership of
each church, who should continue the
representative to Presbytery for a fixed
term, by which he would become bet
ter acquainted with the business of
Presbytery, and the inanner of dis
charging his duties as a representa
tive. Resolved, That this convention re
commend to the churches in Mecklen
burg Presbytery, as far as is expedient
the adoption of the rule of electing
their representatives to Presbytery for
a term of two years.
"Our Duties to the Colored Race," j
elcited an interesting discussion, show
ing the willingness of our church to
advance the moral and spiritual wel
fare of this people. Elder Potts, of
Pineville-, presented the subject with
great force, and thought that now was
the most opportune time since the
war to approach them. The follow
ing resolution was adopted :
Resolved, That this convention re
commend to the churches of this Pres
bytery to give special attention to the
spiritual instruction of the colored
people in their respective cohgrega
tions, providing them with Sanbath
school instruction and preaching, as in
their judgment may be most conducive
to their interest, and by the exercise of
a kind Christian influence guide them
in forming, and aid them in sustaining
institutions of religious instructions of
their own.
"The proper observance of the Sab
bath" was next discussed and the fol
lowing resolution adopted :
Resolved, That the sessions of the
churches in Mecklenburg Presbytery
be requested to take such measures as,
they may deem proper in their respec
tive congregations to have such laws
enacted by our State as shall prohibit
the running of railroad trains in and
through the State on the Sabbath day.
After farewell addresses and a return
of the thanks of the convention to the
Sharon congregation for their open
hearted hospitality, the convention ad
journed to meet at Olney Church, Gas
ton county, the lBt Tuesday in August,
1879.
Death of Bev H H Bank.
The Asheville Citizen gives the first
intelligence received in this city of the
death of Rev H H Banks, which oc
curred in that town on the evening of
the 6th. It will not be a surprise to
the friends of Mr Banks to hear tha.t
he has gently fallen asleep they have
known for several years that be could
not lone'resist the encroachments of
the wasting disease with which he has
been afflicted but this does not allevi
ate the pane of sorrow and regret
which the announcement will carry to
many hearts. A faithful and earnest
laborer in the cause of Christ, tender
and gentle as a woman, and abounding
in a sympathy which all were made to
feel, he w6n the hearts of all who
knew him.
Mr Banks was a native of Arkansas,
and was probably about forty years of
age. He was for several years pastor
of the Presbyterian church in Ashe
ville, hut more recently acted as ageni
for Davidson College, and during a
portion of the tjme he served in this
latter capacity he resided in Charlotte.
He leaves a wife and several children.
