The Iowa Presbytery would respectfully report:
We have held, besides the meetings at Synod, June 1927,
one regular meeting, one called meeting, and one meeting of
the interim commission. The annual meeting of the Presbytery,
held August 2, was simultaneous with the Women's Presbyterial
Missionary society and the Young People's Society.
There was a good representation from nearly all the congregations
and enthusiastic, interesting sessions of all the organizations.
The result was that the Covenanter cause in the bounds
of the Presbytery was encouraged and new interest developed
in the principles for which our Church has long stood.
There are seven congregations under our care and seven
ministers, fiveof whom are pastors. Wyman and Washington
united in making out a call for Remo I. Robb, who was ordained
and installed at a called meeting of Presbytery on January
26, 1928. Thus all our congregations, except Vernon, are provided
with pastors, and we trust that arrangements may soon
be made whereby a worker will be sent to Vernon also. There
has been a decrease of one in the eldership and four in the
membership during the last year. On the other hand there
has been an increase of two deacons, of five professions of
faith by Covenanter children and one-hundred and twenty in
