38 MINUTES OF THE SYNOD OF THE
any other time in the history of the presbytery. For all of
which we thank God and take courage to go forward, even
though the battle for the continued existence of our
Covenanter church in the large cities, is becoming more and
more a serious one.
F. M. Wilson and Thomas H. McCandless were the constituent
members of presbytery on the co-ordinating committee.
Frank L. Stewart was presbytery's representative in the Home
Missions Conference. Our budget was raised in full, and more
than $1,600.00 over and above the budget. We request one half
of the time of one laborer during the present year. Our statistical
report was forwarded to Synod's Stated Clerk.
S. E. GREER, Clerk.

PITTSBURGH
Pittsburgh Presbytery would respectfully report that since
our last report we have held two regular meetings, one synod
meeting and one special meeting. The Interim Commission on
Calls has held three meetings.
We now have twenty-one congregations under our care. At
a special meeting of presbytery held February 14, 1928, in the
Allegheny church, Pittsburgh, Pa., presbytery sanctioned and
effected the union of the Central Allegheny and the Pittsburgh
congregations. This was done at their joint request. The
united congregation is known as the Central Pittsburgh congregation.
The united congregation retained the two pastors
and all the officers of the two churches. They hope to have
a new house of worship in the near future located where they
think they may carry forward a more extensive mission work.
Fourteen of our congregations have settled pastors. One
has a stated supply. Six are without pastors.
