ORGANIZATION OF THE PRESBYTERY* In accordance with the direction of the General Assembly of 1870, the Synod of Philadelphia met in the Spring Garden Church of Philadelphia, on June 21, 1870, for the constitution of the Presbyteries in the territory assigned to the Synod. The Presbytery of Chester was organized by the following action : " The Presbytery of Chester is hereby constituted to consist of the ministers and churches in the counties of Chester and Delaware, to meet in the Spring Garden Church, at 8.30 o'clock a. m., June 23. 1870; the Rev. B. B. Hotchkin, or. in his absence, the oldest minister present, to preside until a Moderator is chosen ; and the Presbytery of Chester is hereby declared to be the legal successor of the Presbytery of New Castle ; and as such, eutitled to the possession and enjoyment of all the rights and franchises and liable to the performance of all the duties of that Presbytery." The General Assembly, during its sessions at Chicago, May, 1871, reversed that part of the above action of the Synod of Philadelphia which made the Presbytery of Chester ' ' the legal successor of the Presbytery of New Castle," and declared the newly constituted Presbytery of New Castle to be the rightful successor of the original Presbytery of New Castle. The boundary line of the Presbytery was enlarged by an Overture adopted by Presbytery and sent to Synod, October 18, 1872, as follows : "Resolved, That the Synod of Philadelphia be overtured to transfer from the Presbytery of Philadelphia North to this Presbytery so much territory as will include the town of Bryn Mawr, in the county of Montgomery." The Overture was favorably reported on by the Snyod's Committee on Bills and Overtures, and, after being discussed, it was adopted, "and the boundaries of the Presbyteries of Chester and Philadelphia North were so changed as to include in the Presbytery of Chester all that territory in the township of Lower Merion, Montgomery county, which lies east of the Roberts road and south of the Gulf road, in said township, and which includes the town of Bryn Mawr" (see Minutes of Synod of 1872, pp. 14, 18). 4 MANUAL OF THE PRESBYTERY OF CHESTER.
