REPORT OF ROCHESTER PRESBYTERY<br />

Rochester Presbytery would respectfully report:<br />

We thank God that His hand has been upon us for good<br />

during the past year.<br />

We record with regret the death <strong>of</strong> W. J. R. McFarland,<br />

We have held one Tegular meeting and two called meetings<br />

at Winona Lake, Ind., and the Interim Commission has held<br />

three meetings during the year.<br />

its pastor on April 6, <strong>1937</strong>.<br />

A successful Young People's Conference was conducted in<br />

August at Oak Point on the St. Lawrence river for the benefit<br />

<strong>of</strong> the young people <strong>of</strong> our Presbytery. The prospects are<br />

favorable for another successful conference this year.<br />

<strong>of</strong> E. G. Russell to New Castle, which occurred on May 16,<br />

<strong>1937</strong><br />

Our statistical report was forwarded in due time and our<br />

Traveling Fund is paid in full.<br />
