Arlington Congregation represented at presbytery, which met with the Bowen Chapel Cumberland Presbyterian Church, by Elder W. V. Whitworth.
An opportunity was offered at this time for any one wishing to confer with the Presbytery as to their internal call to the Ministry. Rev. W. H. McLesky made an earnest appeal, and while a song was being sung, Elder W. V. Whitworth, of Arlington Congregation presented himself, and after examination, was received under the care of the Presbytery.
Presbytery was called to order and prayer was offered by Rev. W. H. McLeskey, after which devotional exercises were conducted by Candidate W. V. Whitworth.
