Rochester Presbytery would respectfully report:
We have had one regular and two special meetings of
Presbytery during the year. There are five congregations
under our care. One has no pastor.
E. G. Russell was installed pastor of the Syracuse congregation
by a commission of Presbytery on June 22, 1927. J. R.
Latimer," after laboring on the frontier for eighteen years in
Lochiel congregation, was released at his own request by
Presbytery on October 11, 1927, and was certified to Kansas
Presbytery. A call was made upon Licentiate R. H. McKelvy
by Lochiel congregation to become its pastor. R. H. McKelvy,
having accepted the call, was received from Ohio Presbytery
and was ordained and installed by Rochester Presbytery on
May 31, 1928. This is a source of encouragement to the loyal
people of Lochiel and also Presbytery welcomes another pastor
in its midst. . ,
E. G. Russell and J. W. M. Hart were appointed members
of presbytery on the co-ordinating committee and W. M. Mc­
Neel on the mission conference. .
