THE HOME MISSION COMMITTEE. As soon as convenient after the fall meeting of Presbytery, the Home Mission Committee shall meet and elect from its own mem- bers, a chairman, a secretary and a treasurer for the year. Be- sides acting as the medium of communication between the Board and the Presbytery, this committee shall have the oversight of the Home Mission interests and of Church Extension within our Pres- byterial bounds. Applications for aid from churches should be made to this committee and be referred by them to the Presby- tery, with recommendation in each particular instance. In case of emergency, applications may be passed upon by this committee in the interval between meetings of Presbytery, and shall be re- ported at the next meeting. Applications shall be niade and passed upon by the committee in accordance with such Home Mission rules as Presbytery may formulate for their guidance. The pro rata contribution per member for Synodical aid as fixed by Presbytery shall be regularly forwarded to the Synodical treasurer. The necessary expenses of the committee shall be paid from its treasury. 2.

They shall include in their annual report an itemized account of their receipts and disbursements, a report of our various mission fields, and a statistical and comparative statement of the gifts of — 17— the churches for the year. They shall also present their treas- ures's report with vouchers for audit. IX. CHURCHES AND SESSIONS. I. Churches which are not able to maintain a minister with- out receiving a large grant of aid, may (for the sake of economy and better pastoral service,) be grouped together by Presbytery under one charge, where geographical and other considerations permit. But such a group may not be dissolved except by con- sent of Presbytery, nor may a minister serving such a group sev- er his connection with one part of the group and continue with the other part, except by Presbytery's permission. Should any group lose its minister between the meetings of Presbytery, the churches composing it shall be under the care of the Home Mis- sion Committee until a new minister is secured, or until Presby- tery makes some other provision. 2 Sevens shall (i) promptly fill out and forward the statistical and narrative blanks furnished them by the Stated Clerk, and should enter the figures of the annual statistical report on their sessional records. They shall (2 report at each spring meeting to the Stated Clerk the names of their elders, and the changes which have occurred during the year, with dates, Thej shall (3) pay to the presbyterial treasurer, at or before each spring meet- ing, the assessment made by the Presbytery for current expense; and (4) present at that meeting their sessional records for exami- nation. 3. Sessions should meet at least before every communion season, should open and close their sessions with prayer, should appoint delegates to attend the stated meetings of Presbytery, and should approve their own records frequently; all of which acts should be entered upon their minutes. The Clerk of Ses- . sion should keep an accurate register of officers and members, and of the marriages, baptisms, dismissals and deaths of mem- bers.

The Presbytery in the Past. 1. Historical. INTRODUCTORY. In the fall of 1806, the first Presbyterian Church in Indiana Was organized. It is located three miles north-east of Vin- cennes; is called "Indiana Church," and is still prosperous. Governor William Henry Harrison and wife were among its charter members. In October, 1823, — three months after the organization of the First Presbyterian Church. Indianapolis, the Synod of Kentucky constituted Salem Presbytery. Its first meeting was held in Salem, Washington County, April i, 1824. Its boundaries, at first, were almost coterminous with the State, but in the year following, were so extended as to include a large part of Illinois. In October., 1825, its Indiana territory was divided, and two new presbyteries constituted, viz: Madison, in the eastern, and Wabash in the western part of the State. These three presbyteries, together with the Pres- bytery of Missouri, were in 1826, constituted '"The Synod of Indiana." By an act of Indiana Synod, in session at Shoal Creek Church. Pocahontas (now Bond) County, Illinois, — some 60 miles north-east of St. Louis,— adopted October 15, 1829, per- mission was given for the formation of a new presbytery. The record, in part, is as follows: "Resolved, i. That the Wabash Presbytery be divided, and a new Presbytery be formed, to be called "Crawfordsville Presbytery." and that the north line of Vigo, Clay, Owen and Monroe Counties be the dividing line between the two Presbyteries, leaving the congregations south of said line, and the Rev. Messrs. Isaac Reed. Bayard R. Hall, John V. Bovell and Samuel A. Alexander, in the Wabash Presbytery: and the Revs. Samuel Baldridge, John R. Moreland, Samuel — 21 — H. McNutt, George Bush, James Crawford, Jeremiah Hill, James Thomson and John S. Thomson to constitute the new Presbytery of Crawfordsville." "2. That the Presbytery of Crawfordsville hold its first meeting at Delphi on Wednesday, 25th of November next, at 10 o'clock a. m., and be opened with a sermon by Rev. John R. Moreland, and in case of his absence, by the Senior minister present." ******* THE CRAWFORDSVILLE PRESBYTERY. I. "Agreeable to the foregoing order of Synod, Presby- tery was to have met at Delphi, but owing to the extraordin- ary fall of rain, the streams were so swollen as to be impass- able." In an orderly manner, therefore, the time and place of meeting were changed. The first meeting was held at Indianapolis March 25, 1830, and was opened with a sermon by Rev, William Sickles, from Heb. VI : 11. Present— Revs. S. Baldridge, J. R. Moreland, S. H. Mc- Nutt, J. 'Crawford, J. Thomson and J. S. Thomson, with Elders Isaac Coe, Henry Anderson, Hiram Bacon, Curtis Mallory, Geo. King and Cornelius Smock. Rev. James A. Carnahan, then supplying the church at Lafayette, also took part in the organization, but not having 'his letter of transfer, was not formally enrolled until the meeting of Pres'bytery at Coal Creek, Sept. 30, 1830. Rev. S. H. McNutt was chosen Moderator, and Rev. James Thomson, Stated Clerk. Presbytery continued in session from 11 a. m. Thursday, March 25th, till Monday afternoon. It transacted a large amount of business. It thoroughly reviewed its own field and appointed the following supplies: Revs, Moreland and J, Thomson "to labor together" in Putnum, Hendricks. Ham- ilton and Madison Counties; Revs. McNutt and Baldridge in Parke and Vermillion Counties; Revs. Crawford and "Post, if he can be obtained." in Carroll and Cass Counties; Revs. Carnahan and J. S. Thomson in Delphi "one or two days;" Rev. Jas. Thomson "one Sabbath in Franklin," Johnson County; and three ministers were appointed to supply the Commissioner's pulpit one Sabbath each. The special field of each minister was as follows: John R. Moreland. Indianap- olis; James Thomson, Crawfordsville; Jeremiah Hill. Green- field (now Greenwood); James 'Crawford. Coal Creek. Foun- tain County, and James A. Carnahan at Lafayette. Thus, this little band of Presbyterian ministers, now organized into the Craw'fordsville Presbytery, valiantly attempted to shepherd 22 — the. pioneer Presbyterians scattered over nearly one-third of tfhe great State of Indiana. Presbytery had under its care thirteen churches, viz: — Shiloh, in Parke County, about four miles north-east of Rockville, organized Dec. 17, 1822; Indianapolis First, July 5, 1823; Crawfordsville, June 20, 1824; Franklin, Nov. 30, 1824; Greenwood, Dec. 31, 1825; Coal Creek, of which New- town is the successor. Dec. 3, 1827; Waveland, May 18, 1828; Delphi, May 2^^, 1828; Lafayette First, May 26, 1828; Eugene, 1828: Poplar Springs, near Bainbridge, August 16, 1829; also Noblesville and Deer Creek Churches. Total communi- cants, 585. II. At the meeting of Synod October, 1830, five ministers from Crawfordsville Presbytery, and two ministers from Madison Presbytery were appointed to constitute the Pres- bytery of Indianapolis; and the west line of the Counties of Johnson, Marion and ''Hamilton carried north," was made the dividing line between the two presbyteries. The Statisti- cal Report of May, 1831, shows that Crawfordsville Presby- tery had on its roll, seven ministers, and fourteen churches with 528 communicants. III. October 9, 1835, Presbytery adopted resolutions, and prepared a petition, praying Synod to set off "the territory lying north of the Counties of Warren, Montgomery and Boone." and the churches contained tiherein. with their min- isters. Revs. J. A. Carnahan, M. M. Post, L. G. Bell and M. Hummer, into a new Presbytery, to be called the Presbytery of Logansport. This was granted by Synod October 17, 1835. The Statistical Report of Crawfordsville Presbytery for 1837 shows that it had on its roll fourteen ministers, and nine- teen churches having 775 communicants. No report was maae for 1838. Separate reports are given of the O. S. and N. S. Presbyteries from 1839 to 1870, the Epoch of Division. With 1870 began the Reunion Era. IV. The "Enabling Act adopted by the Synod of Indiana North, June 29. 1870, is as follows: "The Presbytery of Crawfordsville shall include all the ministers and churches located in the following counties, and shall succeed to, and be vested with all the rights, franchises and privileges hertofore known as Crawfordsville Presbytery (O. S.), and Crawfordsville Presbytery (N. S.), to-wit:— The Counties of Benton, Tippecanoe, Carroll, Warren, Fountain, Clinton, Vermillion, Parke, Montgomery and Boone; and the Rev. William Y. Allen is hereby appointed to convene said Presbytery, and to preside at the first meeting thereof, until a Moderator shall be duly chosen; and, is to convene —23— said Presbytery in this church on the adjournment of Synod this day." In accordance with the above action, the Reunited Pres- bytery met in the First Presbyterian Church, Logansport, Ind . June 29, 1870. Rev. W. Y. Allen called the body to order, and opened the meeting with prayer. Rev. John M. Bishop was chosen temporary clerk. The roll was made out as follows: Ministers, 25; Elders, 9; viz: Ministers. — James H. Johnson, James A. Carnahan, Caleb Mills, William Y. Allen. Robert F. Caldwell, Daniel Rice, John M. Bishop. John Mitchell, John Hawkes, Samuel S. Thomson. John A. Campbell, Edward Barr. Samuel B. King, Amos Jones, William P. Koutz, Joseph W. Torrence. George Morrison, John Safiford, James T. Patterson, William Wil- mer. George G. Mitchell, Luther Temole, Henry C. Thom- son, Henry L. Dickerson, and Ruben F. Patterson. Elders and Churches represented. — J. H. Benefield, Craw- fordsville First; Alexander Thomson. Crawfordsville Center; George Gilliford, Delphi First; Noah Cory. Delphi Second; C. G. Thomson, Lafayette Second; J. H. Brown, William- sport; Jacob Thompson, Darlington: James Hague, Thorn- town, and Newton Murphy, Oxford. Rev. Daniel Rice, D.D., was elected Moderator, and Rev. Edward Barr, Stated Clerk and Treasurer. The spirit of reunion was manifestly present, as resolutions were adopted favoring the union of the First and Second Churches of Thorntown. the First and Second Churches of Delphi, and "the two Bethel Churches." Presbytery ad- journed to meet in Crawfordsville, at 7 p. m. October 4, 1870. The Statistical Report of May i, 1871, shows that the re- united Presbytery had on its roll 36 ministers, 2 licentiates, 10 candidates, and 48 churches. 8 of which have since been disbanded, or united with others.

Note. — At an adjourned meeting of the Presbytery, held May 15, "The Stated Clerk was instructed to defer the printing of the Standing Rules until after the Stated Fall Meeting." Previous to the Fall Meeting the Manual was prepared and was in the hands of the printer; part of it was printed and the type distributed, hence the " Roll of Ministers," "Churches and Sessions," and " Standing Committees" appear as in May, igoo. On September nth. Rev. Hugh T. Gary was elected Modera- tor. On October gth. Rev. F. G. Cadwell was elected Chairman of Foreign Missions in place of Rev. D. E. Williamson, dismissed to Monroe Presbytery. On the same date, Elder D. F. McClure resigned the office of Treasurer of Home Missions; also from membership on the Home Mission Committee. Elder W. W. Alder, of Lafayette, was elected in his place. I. Home Mission Rui.es. Adopted in Presbytery, April nth, 1890, for the direction of the Home Mission Committee and of churches receiving Home Mission aid. 1. Churches requiring aid for the support of their minister should make application to the Home Mission Committee in ad- vance of the term for which aid is asked. The committee is not« expected to make or recommend grants of aid for terms that have partly expired. The committee is expected to meet in the church in which a stated meeting of Presbytery is held on the half day before each meeting. 2. The following conditions shall ordinarily be required of churches making application for rid. The applicants shall show (a) that they are intelligently and sincerely endeavoring to secure for their pastor the largest amount possible from the field; —37— (b) That they pay annually the Presbyterlal assessment and the Home Mission apportionment, and that they contribute, if possible, to the causes represented by our Church Boards; and (c) That they have honorably discharged the obligations of the church toward their minister. 3. It shall be the aim of the churches and of the committee to reduce the amount of aid each year, that the churches may at- tain self-support as soon as possible. 4. Grants and recommendations of aid shall be made by the committee only upon an affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the committee. 5. Payments shall be due at the end of each quarter, provided that the church or group has paid its proportion of the pastor's salary for the quarter; and that the minister has presented his written quarterly report to the committee. All payments of money by the committee shall be made by its treasurer upon an order drawn by the chairman and signed by the secretary or other authorized member of the committee. 6. The Home Mission Committee shall prepare application blanks to be issued by the proper officers of the churches applying for aid, requiring the necessary information on the basis of which the application may be considered. These blanks will be ap- proved by Presbytery and may not be altered without its consent. Rev. John P. Hale, D. D., Lafayette, Ind., is chairman of the Home Mission Committee. To him, all letters of inquiry on Home Missions, should be addressed. 2. Form of Applicatiox For Aid. I .

Have a good book and write in it the proceedings of the Session in a clear, easy read hand. 2. Record the full date— day, month and year, and the place of each meeting. 3. Record the names of the Moderator and elders present. 4. Record the opening and closing of each Stated Meeting with prayer; and the reading and approval of the minutes of the previous meeting. 5. Record the action of the Session in receiving and dismiss- ing members. 6. Unless otherwise ordered by the Session, record only the motions that are carried — the action finally taken by the meeting; except as hereafter directed. 7. Note the administration of the Lord's Supper, and of Bap- tism; also all changes of Ministers; all ordinations and installations of Ministers, Elders and Deacons. 8. In cases of discipline, every step in the process, as provid- ed by our Book of Discipline, is to be carefully recorded. (See Book of Discipline, chapter iv, section 24.) g. When reference is made to any previous action of the Sec- tion, note the page or pages on which it is recorded. 10. Record so much of the proceedings of each Church and Congregational meeting as will faithfully show the action taken. 11. The annual Statistical Report for the General Assembly is to be recorded by order of the Session. 12. Be sure to send the Sessional Record Book to Presbytery at its Stated Spring Meeting. 40— II. CHURCH REGISTER. 1. Have a Church Register in which record the names of the Ministers, Elders, Deacons and members of the Church; also all baptisms, marriages, dismissals and deaths of members. (Our Board of Publication publishes a book properly ruled for such purposes). 2. In recording the names of new members, state the fact of examination or of letters, and in each case state the full name, and if a wife or widow, the christian name of the husband, also. 3. At least once in two years carefully look over the roll of members, noting absentees, and try to have those who have per- manently moved away take letters of dismission to the Church near their new residence. The names of those who cannot be found are to be enrolled on 5 list separate from the regular church roll. (See revised Book of Discipline, chapter vii, sections 48, 49, 50 and 52, to which special attention is directed). SUPPLEMENTARY. 1. If at all practicable Sessions should have stated meetings, e. g., once each month, at which meetings a regular order of docket of business should be followed, embracing all the usual de- partments of the Session's work. 2. Sessions are strongly advised to appoint committees from among their own number on the several departments of their ad- ministrative work, e. g., on Sabbath Schools, Prayer Meetings, Benevolence, etc. It shall be the duty of the committees to keep the Session informed of all matters in their several departments demanding attention. 5. Anntjal Collections. For the Churches which have not yet adopted the scheme of weekly offerings set forth In the Directory for Worship, chapter vi, it is recommended that the first Lord's Day of the following months be set apart for offerings to the benevolent work of- the Church. 1. Foreign Missions January 2. Aid for Colleges February 3. Home Missions in Crawfordsville Presbytery March 4. Assessment for Presbytery and General Assembly April 5. Sabbath School Work May 6. Home Mission Board in New York June 7. Church Erection July 8. Ministerial Relief September 9. Education October 10. Freedmen December An annual collection is to be taken for each of the above causes. —41— In sending contributions, give the name of the church and the Presbytery from which the contribution is sent, with your full name and postoffice address, and direct to the respective treasurer as indicated in Chap, vi, below. The annual assessment for defraying the expenses of Presby- tery, Synod and General Assembly, is 6 cents per member. This is to be paid on or before the stated Spring meeting of Presbytery to the Treasurer of Presbytery, Rev. C. A. Price, Kirklin, Ind. The annual apportionment made by Crawfordsville Presbytery for Home Mission purposes is 35 cents per member. This is to be sent m March, or earlier if convenient, to the Home Mission Treasurer of Presbytery, Mr. W. W. Alder, Lafayette, Ind. On the Collection for the Relief of Disabled Ministers, and the Widows of Deceased Ministers, the Synod of Indiana on October 10, 1900, adopted the following resolutions: 1. That the pastors be required to deliver a special sermon or an address to their congregations at least once a year, setting forth the work and needs of the Board of Relief. 2. That churches be required to take an annual collection for this Board, which contribution shall be equal to at least the one- hundredth part of the minister's salary. The money shall be sent direct to the Board. 3. That the Chairman of the Presbyterial Standing Commit- raittees on Ministerial Relief shall correspond with the sessions in their respective Presbyteries, and inform them of the amount which they are required to contribute to this cause. The list of the contributions shall be read in open Presbytery at its stated Spring meeting. 4. That the Board of Relief be requested to print, in alpha- betical order, a list of all churches in our Presbyteries, showing not only the contributing churches, with the amounts contribut- ed, but also the names of the non-contributing churches. 5. That it is the sense of the Synod of Indiana that any min- ister in charge of a church within our bounds, who does not give his people an opportunity to contribute to the Board of Minis- terial Relief, is remiss in his duty to Christ and the Church. ;.
