"An opportunity was given for any one who might wish to do so to converse with Presbytery regarding an internal call to the work of the Holy Ministry. Whereupon, Sister Ethel Rudolph, of Oakland congregation, Bro. C. A. Yates, of Rozzell's Chapel, and Bro. S. P. Tucker, of Milburn's Chapel, presented themselves. By motion and second Sister Rudolph and Bro. Tucker were received as candidates for the ministry, and Bro. Yates was reinstated as a Licentiate, as he had at one time been such in this Presbytery."
