PREFACE TO THE NEW MANUAL. 
 
 By order of the Session, a Committee, consisting 
 of the Pastor, Kev. G. R. Brackett, D. D., Elder J. 
 Adger Smyth, and Deacon Hall T. McGee, were 
 appointed to prepare a New Manual of the Second 
 Presbyterian Church, bringing the history down to 
 the present time. 
 
 It has been the aim of the Committee to repro- 
 duce the substance of the Manual prepared by Dr. 
 Smyth, in ]838, and 1854 including, the History of 
 the Church, the Eules for the Government of the 
 Church, and of "The Association," retaining as far 
 as possible, the language of the old Book. To this 
 has been added a history of the buildings ; of the 
 various Societies of the Church ; of the work among 
 the colored people ; the By. Laws of the Board of 
 Deacons ; and a History of the Sunday-School, pre- 
 pared by Mr. A. T. Smythe, up to the time of his 
 resignation, as Superintendent. The Boll of Com- 
 municants is also brought down to date.

PREFACE. 
 
 Written by Eev. THOMAS SMYTH, D. D , 1838. 
 
 npHIS publication, it is hoped, will prove useful to 
 the members of the Second Presbyterian Church 
 and congregation. It will do so, by imparting all 
 that iniormation which is so desirable to those who 
 connect themselves with any Society. The origin, 
 history and progress of the Church, is here dis- 
 closed ; its present condition delineated ; its rules 
 and regulations declared ; its officers, elders and 
 members published. It will do so, by giving form 
 and character to the Church ; by attaching to its 
 history and doings their reasonable importance ; 
 and thus making it an object of greater interest and 
 regard. 
 
 It will do so, by treasuring up, for future genera- 
 tions, the correct history of the present and the 
 past ere time has rolled its oblivious wave over the 
 transactions of by-gone days. 
 
 It will do so, by constituting a bond of union 
 among the members of the Church — making them 
 
acquainted with each other, and with all that is 
 done in the Church, and thus promoting union, 
 harmony, and brotherly love. 
 
 In olden times, " they that feared the Lord, spake 
 often one to another, and the Lord hearkened and 
 heard it." The great obstacles to a personal ac- 
 quaintance, and familiar intercourse among Chris- 
 tians, in a city like this, are, their wide dispersion, 
 the continual change in their places of residence, 
 and the consequent difficulty of ascertaining where 
 they reside from year to year. The following man- 
 ual will obviate these difficulties. Every member 
 of the Church may be furnished with it ; and it is 
 hoped, will feel the obligation of cultivating that 
 spirit of mutual intercourse, which has, in former 
 years, been so productive of good to this people. "A 
 new commandment I give unto you, that ye love 
 one another." " Hereby know we that we have 
 passed from death unto life because we love the 
 brethren." " Thereby shall all men know that ye 
 are my disciples, if ye have love one towards 
 another," 
 
 Let every member of the Church and congrega- 
 tion put themselves in immediate possession of this 
 little volume. Let them read it at least once a 
 3'ear. Let them endeavor to reduce its rules to 
 
8 
 
 practice, and to act upon its suggestions. Let them 
 study the government of the Church — become ac- 
 quainted with its nature and design — co-operate in 
 the prosecution of all its plans — manifest an affec- 
 tionate interest in all its members, the poor as well 
 as the rich — and then will she arise and shine, the 
 glory of the Lord being risen upon her ; she will 
 lengthen her cords and strengthen her stakes ; and 
 the Lord will add to her continually such as shall 
 be saved. 
 
OF 
 
 THE SECOND PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, 
 
 OF CHARLESTON, S. C. 
 
 Previous to 1811 tlie First Presbyterian Church 
 was the only accomniodation for Presbyterians in 
 Charleston. It had been for many years, however, 
 found altogether insufficient for this purpose. As 
 early as the year 1804 the necessity of a new erection 
 was felt and the design encouraged by Dr. Buist, then 
 Pastor of the Church. The Rev. Mr. Malcomson, 
 who arrived from Ireland in 1794, and had been set- 
 tled as Pastor for many years in Williamsburg, in this 
 State, was engaged to preach for those who wished to 
 form another congregation, and the temporary use of 
 the French Church, (Huguenot,) was procured. His 
 death, which occurred in September of the same year, 
 blighted the sanguine hopes which were entertained, 
 that ere long another Presbyterian Church and con- 
 gregation would be formed in Charleston. It was not 
 until the year 1809, when the inability to tind accom- 
 modation in the existing Church, made the matter 
 urgent, that the determination was iinally and effectu- 
 
10 
 
 .ally made to enter upon tlie formation of the present 
 Second Presbyterian Clmrcli, 
 
 It was on Wednesday evening, February Stli, 1809, 
 that the followino- o-entlemen beino; assembled at the 
 house of Ml". Fleming, entered into an agreement to 
 unite their efforts to secure a suitable building for a 
 Presbyterian Church, viz : Benjamin Boyd, William 
 Pressly, John Ellison, Archibald Pagan, George Rob- 
 ertson, Samuel Robertson, William Walton, James 
 Adger, Caleb Gray, John Robinson, Alexander Henry, 
 Samuel Pressly, William Aiken and John Porter. 
 
 At a subsequent meeting on March 6th, a subscrip- 
 tion paper for the support of a minister was presented 
 when, by the subscription of a number present, of one 
 hundred doUai-s each, for two years, more than a suffi- 
 cient salary being subscribed, a committee was ap- 
 pointed to request the Rev Andrew Flinn, then con- 
 nected with the united congregation of Williamsburg 
 and Indian town, to organize and take charge of the 
 congregation, with a salary of two thousand dollars. 
 The committee consisted of Benjamin Boyd, John 
 Cunningham, John Milliffan, Samuel Robertson and 
 John Robertson. This invitation Mr. Flinn ac- 
 cepted, and a meeting for the formation of a Second 
 Presbyterian Church was held at Trinity Church, 
 (Methodist,) on Monday evening, A])ril 2-l:tli, 1809. 
 Committees were ap])ointed to attend to secular busi- 
 ness, to purchase a site for the erection of a Church, 
 and to obtain subscriptions. The first standing com- 
 mittee to attend to all the secular affairs of the Church 
 and to purchase a site were, Benjamin Boyd, John 
 
11 
 
 Cunningham, Joseph Milligan, John Robinson and 
 Samuel Robertson. 
 
 As a record of the muniticence of the donors, who 
 were not confined to Presbyterians, it was resolved 
 that the names of the subscribers should be preserved 
 on parchment and deposited in the archives of the 
 Church. 
 
 By May 16th the plan of the Church was presented by 
 William Gordon, who was appointed to build it, and 
 who immediately entered upon the work. In 1809 an 
 act of incorporation was obtained. 
 
 At a meeting on January 25th, 1810, a subscription 
 paper was presented for the signatures of those who 
 wished to become members of the Second Presbyte- 
 rian Church, to be governed by prescribed rules and 
 by-laws, when the following persons signed their 
 names, viz : — 
 
 Benjamin Boyd, Stephen Thomas, Robert Fleming, 
 Richard McMillan, Caleb Gray, Richard Cunningham, 
 James Adger, John Porter, William H. Gilliland, 
 Alexander Gray, John Blackwood, John Cunningham, 
 Alexander Henry, John McDowell, William Walton,

 and William Sims. 
 
 In order that the Church might be opened for the 
 reception of the Harmony Presbytery, at its first ses- 
 sion, it was dedicated to the worship of Almighty God,, 
 by a sermon from the Rev. Dr. Flinn, on Wednesday,. 
 April 3rd, 1811, and connected with tlie Ecclesiastical 
 Judicatories of the Presbyterian Church. This was 
 the first session ever held in Charleston, by a Presby- 
 tery, connected with the General Assembly of the 
 Presbyterian Church in the United States. The 
 Charleston Union Presbytery, also, held its first session 
 in this Church, April lOth, 1823. 
 
 The first Pastor of this Church was the Rev. Andrew 
 Flinn, D. D. He was called in February, 1809 ; in- 
 stalled April Irth, 1811 ; and died February 24th, 1820 ;. 
 having been eleven years connected with the Church. 
 He was born in Maryland, in 1773 ; graduated at the 
 University of North Carolina, in 1798; was licensed 
 to preach the Gospel by the Presbytery of Orange, N. 
 
13 
 
 C, in 1800. His first pastoral charge was in Fayette- 
 ville, N. C; afterwards he removed to Camden, and 
 from thence to the united congi-egations of Bethel and 
 Indian town, in Williamsburg, South Carolina. From 
 this place, he was called to Charleston, in 1809, where 
 he organized this Church, dedicated this House of 
 "Worship, and built up this Congregation. On Feb- 
 ruary Bith, 1820, in the forty-eighth year of his age, 
 after a long and painful illness. Dr. Flinn wasremov^ed 
 from the scene of his earthly labors. 
 
 After the death of Dr. Flinn, the Church was sup- 
 plied by such transient ministers as could be obtained 
 until April, 1820, when the Rev. Artemas Boies, 
 pastor of the Church in Wilmington, N. C, and who 
 had been recommended by Dr. Flinn, was called to 
 supply the Church for one year, during the rebuilding 
 of his Church at Wilmington, which had been burnt. 
 
 He was elected pastor in April, 1S21, and continued to 
 labor until May, 1823, when he tendered his resignation 
 to the Church, and his pastoral connection, which had 
 continued for three years, was regretfully sundered, 
 on account of the delicate health of his wife. He died 
 of typhoid fever, at the age of 52, in Sept., 184-1, 
 while pastor of the Second Church in the city of New 
 London, Conn. Tlie noble granite shaft erected by 
 his people over his grave bears this fitting and charac- 
 teristic epitaph : " Speaking the truth, in love." 
 
 In November, 1823, it was unanimously resolved to 
 call the Rev. Thomas Charlton Henry, who was in- 
 stalled by the Charleston Union Presbytery, January, 
 1821. He died Oct. 5th, 1827, having been four 
 years connected with the Church. 
 
14 
 
 Dr. Henry was the son of Alej^ander Henry, of 
 Philadelphia, the venerable and devoted President of 
 the American Sunday School Union, and an Elder in 
 the Central Presbyterian Church. He was gradu?^-ed 
 from Middlebury College, Yermont, in August, lb 14, 
 and from Princeton Theological Seminary, N. J., in 
 ]816. Having received and declined invitations to 
 several Churches, he linally accepted a unanimous call 
 from the Presbyterian Church at Columlna, S. C, 
 where he was ordained and installed in 1818 by the 
 Presbytery of Harmony. It was at the close of his 
 fifth year of labor in Columbia that Dr. Henry re- 
 ceived a unanimous call to this Church. 
 
 In the first and second years of his ministry in 
 Charleston, considerable additions were made to the 
 Church ; but in the third, a blessed effusion of the 
 Holy Spirit was enjoyed. 
 
 On the first of October, 1827, when in the enjoy- 
 ment of perfect health, he was suddenly seized with 
 the " stranger's fever," then prevalent in the city, 
 which in four days terminated his valuable life, at the 
 early age of thirty-seven. 
 
 After the melancholy death of Dr. Henry, the 
 Church remained two years without a pastor, though 
 faithfully supphed by the Kev. Benjamin Gildersleeve, 
 and the Rev. Dr. Leland. Various and unsuccessful 
 efforts were made to secure a suitable minister. In 
 June, 1828, the Rev. Alonzo Church, of Georgia, re- 
 ceived a call which he declined. In September, the 
 Rev. Mr. Kirk was elected pastor, but he also refused 
 to come. In February, 1820, the Rev. William Ash- 
 
15 
 
 mead, being in Charleston on account of his health,, 
 received a call, which he accepted, and was in May 
 installed pastor. On June 7th, he obtained leave of 
 absence for the summer, with the intention of bring- 
 ing his family, but he died on his return, to Philadel- 
 phia, December 2nd, 1S29, having been connected with 
 this Church but little more than six months, of which 
 he was absent more than four. 
 
 Mr. Ashmead was born in Philadelphia in 1797 • 
 was graduated from the University of Pennsylvania 
 in 1818. He studied for the Gospel ministry under 
 the Kev. James P. Wilson, the friend of Dr. Flinn, 
 who published his memoir. Mr. Ashmead was com- 
 pelled to teach by day, and study by night, and thus 
 laid the foundation of his future infirmities. He was 
 licensed to preach in 1820. He received a call from 
 the Presbyterian Church in Lancaster, where he 
 labored for more than eight years previous to his call 
 to this Church. 
 
 After the death of Mr. Ashmead, the Church sat 
 in her widowhood for several years, receiving her 
 food from occasional supplies, especially from her 
 tried friend, the Rev. Mr. Gildersleeve. In August 
 1830, the Rev. Alexander Aikman received an un- 
 successful call. In April 1831, a similar call was pre- 
 sented to the Rev. J, B. Waterbury. 
 
 The above sketch is condensed from " The History 
 of the Second Presbyterian Church," by the Rev. 
 Thomas Smyth, D. D., who was called to this Church 
 in April 1832. He was born in Belfast, Ireland, on 
 on the llth of June, 1808, and was educated at Bel- 
 
16 
 
 fast College, from which he graduated with distin- 
 guished liouors. He prosecuted his theological studies 
 at Highbury College, in London. Compelled to rehn- 
 quish his studies, on account of failing health, he 
 followed the guiding hand of Providence across the 
 ■seas to the shores of the New World. Arriving in 
 1830, he was leceived under the care of the Newark 
 Presbytery, N. J,, and entered the Senior Class of 
 Princeton Seminary. Before graduating he received 
 an invitation to the Second Presbyterian Church, 
 Charleston, S. C, and entered upon his ministerial 
 labors in 1 S3 1. His long and useful ministry began 
 and ended with this favored people. In August 1832, 
 lie received a permanent call, and was installed by the 
 Charleston Union Presbytery, December 29th, 1834. 
 His ministry extended over a period of forty years. 
 To this Church of his " tirst love," he consecrated all 
 of his energies. " For her," he said, " I have given my- 
 self, and all that I have — my time, talents, acquisi- 
 tions, substance and strength. For her I have lived 
 and toiled, prayed and suffered, and for her I would 
 willingly lay down my life." He declined compli- 
 mentary and enticing calls in every direction, from 
 the College, the Seminary, and the Editorial Chair, 
 raying : — " I am determined to live and die with 
 my people." He was an indefatigable student and 
 author, and published, in all, about thirty volumes, 
 embracing almost every subject of public interest. 
 
 Probably more than a thousand members, white and 
 colored, were added to the Church during his minis- 
 try, and more that thirty became ministers of the Gos- 
 
17 
 
 pel. The Cliurcli was visited with several gracious 
 outpourings of the Holy Spirit, and as the result of 
 one great revival, there were over one hundred acces- 
 sions. The religious zeal awakened in 1854 led to the 
 organization of the Glebe Street Church, to which 
 this Church contributed thirty devoted members, in- 
 cluding three of its most active Elders. The flour- 
 ishing congregation of tlie Central Presbyterian 
 Church was largely the result of the liberality, activity 
 and devotion of those who, in 1823, went out from 
 tins Church, and united with others in its formation. 
 
 In the prime of his manhood, Dr. Smyth was stricken 
 with paralysis, and in 1853, while on his return from 
 the General Assembly, he was again stricken so se- 
 verely that, for a time, all hopes of his life were given 
 up. His indomitable energy of will, with the divine 
 blessing, however, sustained him, and though ever 
 after a cripple, he persevered to the end in the work 
 to which he had devoted his life, and on the 20th of 
 August, 18Y3, he quietly entered into his rest. His 
 last thoughts were for the people of his love, for 
 whom he was struggling to deliver his dying message. 
 
 It deserves to be mentioned here that Dr. Smyth 
 was assisted at different periods of his ministry, when 
 disqualified by infirmity for discharging its functions, 
 by the following ministers, whose faithful labors are 
 held in grateful remembrance : Rev. Henry M. 
 Smith, D. D., Rev. D. L. Buttolph, D. D., Rev. Fer- 
 dinand Jacobs, D. D., Rev. James McDowell and 
 Rev. Hampden C. DuBose, D. D. 
 
 In May, 1871, the Rev. Gilbert R. Brackett, D. D., 
 '2 
 
18 
 
 was called to supply the vacant pulpit, and on June 
 16, 1872, was installed pastor, which office he stills 
 holds and tills to the entire satisfaction of a united 
 and loving people. 
 
 Under his administration the Church has continued 
 to prosper, both spiritually and temporally. At al- 
 most every Communion there have been large acces- 
 sions to the Church, principally from among the 
 younger members of the congregation. The temporal 
 and tinancial affairs of the Church are in good condi- 
 tion, with all debts and outstanding obligations paid 
 in full, as the congregation have always responded 
 promptly and liberally to Dr. Brackett's faithful and 
 eloquent presentation of the duty and privilege of 
 honoring the Lord with their substance. 
 
 THE BUILDINGS, 
 
 This venerable edifice was completed in 1811, and the 
 congregation struggled with a heavy debt until 1824, 
 when this beautiful temple, says Dr. Smyth, " at the 
 cost of more than one hundred thousand dollars, was 
 delivered free from all incumbrances, by the energy, 
 union, and concerted liberality of its founders. No 
 other fault could be found with a Church, so grand in 
 its simplicity, its perfect proportions and whole ar- 
 rangements, but its immense size. And it is with much 
 pleasure and gratification I testify to the readiness 
 and the needful liberality with which it entered in 
 
19 
 
 1833 upon that series of alterations, which has ter- 
 minated so beneficially in the present greatly im- 
 proved condition and aspect of the Church," The ca- 
 ]3acity of the building "svas diminished by lowering the 
 ■ceiling, raising the floor, and taking sufficient space 
 from the front to make a convenient vestibule, and a 
 ■commodious room above which could be used as a 
 Sunday-school and lecture room, and library. 
 
 It was found, in 1874, that a new roof was needed 
 for the safety and preservation of the building, and 
 the sum of $6,000 was raised in a time of great finan- 
 cial stringency. In his handsome tribute to our 
 " noble ladies," President Simonton said : that the 
 work could not have Ijeen finished without their eren- 
 erous co-operation." The amount raised by them was 
 about $1,800. 
 
 In the great cyclone of August 27th, 1818, this 
 Church sustained considerable injury ; the lead that 
 covered the top of the roof, with a considerable por- 
 tion of the slate, were raised and carried away, and 
 some of the sashes of the windows were blown away. 
 
 In 1885, when other churches were seriously dam- 
 aged by the cyclone, ours received a comparatively 
 slight injury. 
 
 In the memorable earthquake of 1886, which threat- 
 ened the city with destruction, this Church was dam- 
 aged to the amount of $6,000, but through the kind 
 and generous benefaction of friends abroad, from 
 both South and North, chiefly from the latter, we 
 were enabled, speedily, to restore our shattered walls. 
 
 On August 27th, 1893, this Church again suffered 
 
20 
 
 severely from the most destructive cyclone that has 
 ever visited our loved city. The building was com- 
 pletely unroofed on the north side, the pews and 
 organ deluged with water, and the whole ceiling so 
 damaged as to necessitate its removal. The sum re- 
 quired to restore the building was $3,300, which was 
 partially covered by an insurance of $1,300, 
 
 Steps were immediately taken to repair the dam- 
 ages, and on November 26th, divine service was re- 
 sumed in the renovated Church. During the repairs 
 Sabbath services were held in the Sunday-school 
 building. 
 
 Of the $2,000 required to li(piidate the debt in- 
 curred, $1,800 was raised by a single collection, on 
 December 10th, 1893. 
 
 Previous to the time of Dr. Henry, the weekly lec- 
 tures were delivered, and the prayer- meeting held at 
 private residences, but in January, 182-1, at the ur- 
 gency of Dr. Henry, the corporation procured a 
 temporary building in St. Philip street. A lot of 
 land was, however, soon leased in Black Bird's alley, 
 (now Burns' lane,) at fifty dollars per annum, and a 
 Lecture Room erected through the efforts of the 
 ladies of the congregation, at a cost of about seven 
 hundred dollars. But this building being too small, 
 and the location unfavorable, it was resolved in 1835,, 
 to procure a more suitable building in a more eligible 
 situation. 
 
 A beautiful and more creditable edifice was 
 erected in Society street, and dedicated in March, 
 1837. This Lecture-Poom was destroyed in the great 
 
21 
 
 fire of 1838. It was afterwards rebuilt and subse- 
 quently sold. It was in these Lecture-Rooms that Dr. 
 Smyth delivered to crowded audiences his masterly 
 discourses on ^'Apostolic Succession'''' and '■'■Preshytevy 
 and Prelacy,^'' which were afterwards published and 
 used as text books in Theological Seminaries. 
 
 In 1881 the need of a new and more convenient 
 Sunday-school buildins^ was beginning to be deeply 
 felt, and steps were taken to procure funds for its 
 erection, resulting in the organization of a society 
 called the "Sunday-School Workers," composed 
 mainly of members of the Sunday-school, which in 
 the course of nine years, raised nearly $3,000. The 
 first President of the Society was Mrs. Mary T, Robin- 
 son, who was called away in the midst of her devoted 
 labor. She was succeeded by Mrs. James Allan, who 
 prosecuted the work with equal energy and zeal. 
 
 The Society was dissolved when the building was 
 completed. In November, 1881, a lot was purchased 
 at a cost of $1,207.25. The elegant building was com- 
 pleted at a cost of $10,456, and dedicated May, 1887. 
 
 SKETCH OF THE SUNDAY-SCHOOL. 
 
 The Sunday School of the Second Presbyterian 
 Church, of Charleston, S. C, was organized in the 
 year 1818, by Mr. and Mrs. Geo. E. Hahnbaum. It 
 was the second Sunday School organized in this city. 
 
 Mr. and Mrs. Hahnbaum were both members of 
 
22 
 
 the Congregational (or Circular) Church, of Charles- 
 ton, and they had about two years previous, started, 
 in connection with that Church, the tirst Sunday 
 School in the city. This attracted the attention of 
 some of the members of the Second Presbyterian 
 Church, and an invitation was extended to Mr. and 
 Mrs. Hahnbaum to start a school there. They con- 
 sented, and organized it in 1818. 
 
 The first Superintendent of the School was Mr. 
 George E. Hahnbaum himself, Mrs. Hahnbaum being 
 his assistant. It was organized as distinct from the 
 Church, and was not at that time under the direction 
 of Session. For this and other reasons Rev. Dr. 
 Andrew Flinn, Pastor of the Church at first opposed 
 it, regarding the work as too secular in its nature. 
 But he soon became convinced of its usefulness, and 
 was ever afterwards its zealous supporter. He 
 preached a sermon to the children on the first anni- 
 versary of the School. 
 
 The first meeting place for the School was in the 
 South Gallery of the Church, which then aiforded 
 ample accommodation for all attendants. 
 
 After the School M^as firmly established Mr. and 
 Mrs. Hahnbaum returned to the Circular Church and 
 to their work there. This was about the year 1822,. 
 and the Rev. Basil Gildersleeve was elected Superin- 
 tendent of the School. 
 
 Mr. (afterwards Dr.) Gildersleeve remained a& 
 Superintendent for seventeen years. In the year 1838,, 
 we find from the Manual of the Church then pub- 
 lished, that the Assistant Superintendent of the 
 
23 
 
 School was Mr. Cliarles S. Siinonton, Dr. Gilder- 
 sleeve taught the Female Bible Class. Mrs. Isaac 
 Johnson was the Female Superintendent, with Mi's. 
 Ann Caldwell as Assistant. Miss Susan Ruberry 
 was teacher of the Infant Class, and James W. Still- 
 man, Secretary, Librarian and Treasurer. 
 
 There were thirteen male teachers of the School as 
 follows : 
 
 John Vardell, Robert Tweed, • 
 
 C. S. Simonton, Wm. P. Levy,

 C. P. Frazer, G. W. Patterson, 
 
 Robert L. Church, John Dewees. 
 
 Rev. B. Gildersleeve, Female Bible Class. 
 
 C. J. Sparks, Assistant Teacher. 
 
 Thomas R. Vardell, Male Bible Class. 
 
 The other female teachers of the School were twelve 
 in number, as follows : 
 
 Miss Margaret Bennett, Miss Phillippa Burney, 
 Miss Hannah P. Raymond, Miss Susan D. Adger, 
 Miss Susan Vardell, Miss Mary A. Stillman, 
 
 Miss Eliza Auld, Miss S. Anthony, 
 
 Miss Gardenia Gibbs, Miss Susan Bell, 
 
 Mrs. S. Robertson, Miss Ursula Nell. 
 
 There was also besides a Sabbath School for colored 
 persons held after the morning service. 
 
 Dr. Gildersleeve continued in charge of the School 
 until 1839. His ministerial duties then interfering 
 
24 
 
 with those of Superintendent, he resigned and Mr. 
 Thomas E.. Vardell was elected as Superintendent. 
 He continued in office until his death, in 1850, and 
 under his management the School flourished. During 
 the revival of 1846 one hundred and thirty from the 
 Sunday-School joined the Church. Mr. Yardell was 
 a great singer, and paid especial attention to the music 
 of the School. 
 
 About this time Miss Susan Vardell became the 
 teacher of the Infant Class. She remained in charge 
 of it for very many years, and it prospered in her 
 hands. Many now connected with the Church re- 
 member being her pupils. 
 
 In 1850, on the death of Mr. Yardell, Mr. W. H. 
 Beach, a gentleman from the North, but a merchant 
 of this city, was elected Superintendent. His Assist- 
 ant Superintendent was Major R. C. Gilchrist. The 
 School was very prosperous under this administration. 
 Mr. Beach was also a fine musician, and gave great 
 attention to the music and singing of the School. The 
 attendance was very large, running up some times to 
 as many as three hundred present. After serving a 
 little over two years Mr. Beach's store in Ilayne street, 
 was burned, and he returned to the North. 
 
 At this time the rules for the government of the 
 School were changed, and the School was placed under 
 the direct control of the Session of the Church. The 
 policy was at the same time instituted of having an 
 Elder as Superintendent. In April, 1853, Mr. Wil- 
 liam Adger, an Elder, was elected Superintendent, 
 .with Major Gilchrist as Assistant. The School then 
 
25 
 
 numbered forty teachers, witli over three hundred 
 scholars on the roD. One thousand vohnnes were 
 added to the Liljrary and properly catalogued. 
 
 Mr. William Adger died in New York, in Decem- 
 ber, 1S53. The next year Major K. C. Gilchrist was 
 elected Superintendent, with Mr. James Dillingham 
 as Assistant. They were both Elders of the Church. 
 
 At this period the School was very prosperous. The 
 Church Manual, published in 1854, shows that the 
 Superintendent was Major Robt. C. Gilchrist. The 
 Yice-Superintendent was Mr. James Dillingham. 
 There were also two female Vice-Superintendents, Mrs. 
 Isaac Johnson and Miss Susan D. Adger. The Secre- 
 tary and Treasurer was Mr. William Dewees ; the 
 Librarians, Mr. J, Ellison Adger and Mr. A. McD. 
 Brown. The Male Bible Class teachers were Messrs. 
 A. F. Browning and Charles H. Simonton. and the 
 Female Bible Class teachers were Mrs. Thomas Smyth 
 and Mrs. S. J. Robinson. The Infant Class teachers 
 were Misses C. Johnson and Gracia Lanneau. 
 
 The School at that time also had a "Visitor" reeu- 
 larly elected, whose duty it was to visit the absentees, 
 and this position was at that time filled most accepta- 
 bly, and with great good to the School, by Mr. C. P. 
 Frazer. 
 
 There were eleven other male teachei's, as follows : 
 James Dillingham, E. Phillips, 
 
 George S. Cook, J. V. Lyon, 
 
 James S. Roberts, George H. Moffett, 
 
 George E. Clark, C. H. Browning, 
 
 Dr. John Anderson, Mr. Hunter, 
 
 W. A. Shepard, 
 
26 
 
 There were sixteen other female teachers, as follows : 
 
 Mrs. George H. Moffett, Miss Jane A. Adger, 
 
 Mrs. Browning, Miss Mary Moiiett, 
 
 Mrs. Rebecca Lannean, Miss Louisa Smith, 
 
 Mrs. Peter Lanneau, Miss Mary Fanning, 
 
 Mrs. Steedman, Miss Eliz'h H. Dewees, 
 
 Miss Mary Brown, Miss Ann Robertson, 
 
 Miss Anna Simonton, Miss M. Dewees, 
 
 Miss Lonisa Dukes, Miss Sarah Steele. 
 
 Mr. Dillingham served as Assistant Superintendent 
 for ten years, and until his death, about 1864, when 
 Mr. C. N. Averill was elected Assistant Superin- 
 tendent in his place. 
 
 The School continued under the charge of Major 
 Gilchrist, assisted by Mr. 0. N. Averill, with his 
 excellent musical gifts, for thirty years, and during 
 that period prospered in every way. The attendance 
 was large and regular, and there were very many 
 additions to the Church from among the scholars. 
 
 The position of Female Superintendent continued 
 until after the war. The duties attached to the posi- 
 tion were to take the census of the School, see that 
 the classes were kept up in numbers, and look after 
 the general order of the School. On the re-organiza- 
 tion of the School after the war. Miss Anna Simonton 
 was elected to the position, which she tilled very 
 acceptably for many years. This otRce was discon- 
 tinued for a long time, and revived in 1894, and Miss 
 Sarah Annie Smyth elected. 
 
27 
 
 In 1883, both Major E. C. Gilchrist and Mr. C. N. 
 Averill resigned. For some time the School 
 remained without any regular Superintendent ; but the 
 exercises were carried on under the efficient charge of 
 Mr. Frank F. Whilden. Special mention deserves to 
 be made of the devoted labors of our lainented Elder, 
 A. R. Stillman, who was elected Superintendent and 
 consented to till the office for a limited term. 
 
 In January, 1885, Mr. Augustine T. Smjtlie was 
 elected Superintendent, Mr. F. F. Whilden, Assistant,, 
 Mr. Hall T. McGee, Secretary and Treasurer and Mr. 
 John W. Robson, Assistant Secretary and Librarian. 
 .Miss Gracia Lanneau having resigned her charge of 
 the Infant Class, which she had held, with great accept 
 ance, for thirty years, on account of her failing health. 
 Mrs. Mary S. Whilden was elected her successor, 
 assisted by Miss Mary Whilden and Mrs. Sarah Gard- 
 ner. Mr. J. Adger Smyth took charge of the Male 
 Bible Class and to Mrs. Geo. H. Moffett, Miss Jane 
 Ann Adger and Mrs. Mary R. McD. Stickney, were 
 assigned the Female Bible Classes, 
 
 The Pastor, Rev. G. R. Brackett, D. D., assumed 
 the office of Teacher, and the night service being sus- 
 pended, began to lecture on the S. S. Lesson to the 
 adults of the Congregation, thus realizing what Dr. 
 Smyth so earnestly desired and advocated, a " Teach- 
 ing Service for the whole Church." The Pastor's 
 Class-room will accommodate about seventy, and is 
 usually well tilled with members of his Congregation 
 and strangers. 
 
 The children are trained to habits of systematic 
 
28 
 
 beneficence, by contributing to all the Causes of the 
 Church, and to other benevolent objects. The results 
 of six years experiment in our new building, with con- 
 venient class-rooms, and a service of instrumental 
 music and song, justifies the change made in our 
 Church Services. Since the discontinuance of the 
 night service and, the concentration of the whole 
 strength of the Church in S. S. work, the membership 
 of the Church has nearly doubled itself. These 
 changes in the organization and management of the 
 School, are due to the practical wisdom and adminis- 
 trative al)ility of the Superintendent, Hon. A. T. 
 Smythe. The School owes its success largely to the 
 service of song and the orchestral accompaniment. 
 The singing is led by a gifted and enthusiastic vocalist, 
 Mr. F. F. Whilden, and the orchestra is conducted by 
 iin accomplished musician, Mr. Lawrence S. Reynolds. 
 
 In October, 1893, Mr. A. T. Smythe, who, for 
 «ight years had filled the office of Superintendent 
 with remarkable ability and energy, was compelled, 
 with great reluctance, to resign on account of his 
 health. The following December, Mr. Hall T. 
 McGee, who, during the same period, had discharged 
 the office of Secretary with equal fidelity, also re- 
 signed. 
 
 Mr. Frank F. Whilden was then elected Superin- 
 tendent, and Mr. John AV. Robson, Secretary, and 
 Mr. Robt. A. Smyth, Assistant Secretary.

 THE LADIES' EDUCATION SOCIETY. 
 
 This Society which has for its object the education 
 of candidates for the Gospel Ministry, was organized 
 by the "Rev. A. Boies, in 1821. It began with thirty 
 members, and an income of about $150. During the 
 Ministry of Dr. Henry, the number increased to sixty- 
 seven, and its income to $180. After the decease of 
 Dr. Henry, the Church having no settled pastorate, 
 the Society declined. In 1832, when Dr. Smyth began 
 his ministry, it numbered only forty-seven members.. 
 From that time it continued to enlarge, both in its 
 membership and income. 
 
 Dr. Smyth took a deep interest in this Society and 
 encouraged and stimulated its members by frequent 
 attendance upon its meeting, and stirring addresses. 
 
 This Society has aided nearly fifty students in their 
 Theological Course, aiul raised nearly $40,000. From 
 1(S33 to 1837, four years, it contributed, in addition to 
 money raised for the support of candidates, $2,000 to 
 the General Assembly's Board of Education. It has 
 also made donations to the amount of $3,000 to our 
 Theological Seminary at Columbia, S. C. It has had 
 as many as six l)eneficiaries at one time, and usually 
 has three or four. Two hundred dollars annually is 
 given to each student. 
 
 During the war, the work of the Society was sus- 
 pended, and it was immediately after the war revived, 
 through the generous assistance of Mr. J. N. Robson, 
 who, for several years annually, contributed the sum 
 of $300.

 THE MISSIONARY SOCIETY. 
 
 The cause of Foreign Missions has always occupied 
 the supreme place in the benevolent operations of this 
 Church, and its largest collections have always been 
 for this object. No minister was ever more thoroughly 
 imbued with the missionary spirit than Dr. Smyth. 
 " When a student at Highbury College, pursuing his 
 theological studies, he was expecting to enter the mis- 
 sionary lield, under the auspices of the London Mis- 
 sionary Society, but was disappointed by the failure of 
 his health, and removal to this country. Resuming 
 his studies at Princeton, N. J., he was contemplating a 
 missionary tour to Florida, when he received an invita- 
 tion to supply the pulpit of this Church. He was for 
 many years Chairman of the Committee on Foreign 
 Missions, in the Synod of South Carolina. It was 
 while he was zealously discharging the duties of this 
 office that he prepared those soul-stirring missionary 
 discourses, entitled, " The Conversion of the World ;" 
 " Faith, the Principle of Missions^'' and " Obedience, 
 the Life of Missions,'''' which were preached before the 
 Synod, and published by their order. He preached 
 
32 
 
 and jDublislied several earnest discourses on '* Juvenile 
 Missionary Effort.'''' He argued that, " as a mis- 
 sionary s])irit is the most essential characteristic of 
 Christianity, and as baptized cliildren are members of 
 the visible Church, and ought to be educated as 
 Christians ; therefore tliey should be taught to pray, 
 to give and labor for the cause of missions." 
 
 In 1832, before his installation, lie organized a 
 Juvenile Missionary Society, which held its meetings 
 quarterly, and in the same year he commenced the 
 publication of a juvenile missionary paper. 
 
 One effect of this missionary zeal was the organiza- 
 tion of a flourishing Sabbath School, and a Cliurcli at 
 Graniteville, S. C, sustained by members of this 
 Church until it was merged into other Churches estab- 
 lished there. 
 
 " The amount contributed by this Church from 1832 
 to 1 So-i to the cause of foreign missions, to the endow- 
 ment of the Theological Seminary, and of Ogletliorpe 
 University, and to home evangelization," said Dr. 
 Smyth, " has been such as to esta1)lish a character for 
 liberality and missionary zeal, which, 1 hope, will be 
 perpetuated in your future history." We may add, 
 that this libei'ality and missionary zeal has never 
 abated. 
 
 The Missionary Society, no longer confined to the 
 children, was reorganized under the present pastorate, 
 and for many years the average collections amounted 
 to $240 annually. Several years ago the Society un- 
 dertook the support of a Lady Missionary, at a salary 
 of $600. 
 
33 
 
 The Urst officers of this Society after its organization 
 were : Mrs. G. R. Brackett, President, and Miss Susan 
 D. A. Smyth, Secretary and Treasurer. The present 
 officers are : Mrs. S. G. Stoney, President, and Miss 
 Sarah P. Smyth, Secretary and Treasurer. The meet- 
 ings are held on the last Saturday of each month. 
 
 THE YOUNG PEOPLE'S SOCIETY OF CHRISTIAiN 
 ENDEAVOR. 
 
 This Society was organized in October, 1893, and 
 meets each week on Tuesday night. President, 
 James P. Williams. Secretary, Miss Jessie Allan. 
 The officers are elected semi-annually. 
 
 WORK AMONG THE COLORED PEOPLE. 
 
 This Church always manifested a deep, and affection- 
 ate interest in the religious instruction of the colored 
 people, who filled the galleries of the Church, and 
 largely composed its membership, at one time num- 
 bering two hundred. During his forty years' minis- 
 try, Dr. Smyth was accustomed to prepare sermons 
 with reference to their instruction, and held a special 
 service for them during the week, and, as a pastor, 
 kindly ministered to their spiritual wants, especially 
 in sickness and sorrow. He was a warm supporter of 
 the Zion Colored Church, in Anson Street, in this 
 3 
 
34 
 
 city, and of the Rev, J. L. Girardeau, D. D., in his 
 ministry to this people. At the time -.ve now refer 
 to, this Church furnished a dozen teacliers for tlie col- 
 ored Sunday School in Anson Street. " The erection 
 of a beautiful and commodious editice for the special 
 accommodation of the colored people, the employ- 
 ment of an able minister to labor among them, and 
 the self-denial with which some have persevered in 
 imparting to them catechetical instruction," said Dr. 
 Smyth, " will ever be to your praise." Reference is 
 here made to the church in Calhoun street, to which 
 the growing congregation in Anson Street removed, 
 and where nmltitudes of colored peoj^le were gathered 
 into the Presbyterian Church. The first pastor of 
 this " Zion Church," as it was called, was the Rev. 
 John B. Adger, D. D., for twelve years a zealous 
 missionary in Smyrna, and who lal)ored among this 
 peo^^le w^ith equal devotion ; for several months after 
 the resignation of Dr. Adger, the church was sup- 
 plied by the Rev. Ferdinand Jacobs, D. D., when the 
 Rev. John L. Girardeau, D. D., entered upon his long 
 and useful ministry among this people. His deep in- 
 terest in the religious welfare of the colored people led 
 him to consecrate many years of toil and great abili- 
 ties to their instruction." 
 
 This valuable building on Calhoun Street is now in 
 the hands of a Board of Trustees, and is gratuitously 
 furnished to the colored people as a place of worship. 
 
35 
 
 WORK AMONG THE WALDENSES. 
 
 A Society in aid of the Waldenses in Europe was 
 formed in 185-i, in response to a visit from Rev. Mons. 
 Revel, from Italy, to aid their Theological Seminary. 
 $250 annually was pledged to support one of the 
 Vaudois pastors. 
 
 This Society has had no existence since the civil 
 war. 
 
'UjTJJLj'HIS 
 
 FOR 
 
 THE TEMPORAL GOVERNMENT 
 
 OF 
 
 THE CHURCH. 
 
 K E P O R T. 
 
 The committee appointed at the recent anniversary 
 meeting, to revise the Rules for the Grovernment of 
 the Corporation of this Church, beg leave to state that 
 they proceeded to the consideration of the duty as- 
 signed, and, after a careful examination of the rules 
 by which the Association and Corporation have been 
 heretofore governed, have unanimously adopted the 
 following revision ; and recommend that they be con- 
 firmed by this meeting. Before submitting them, 
 however, for your consideration, tliey ask to present a 
 sketch of the origin of the Association, and its suljse- 
 quent connection with the Corporation, for the infor- 
 mation of a large portion of the pew-holders, who are 
 not familiar with its formation — which will explain 
 the reason why two distinct bodies should have existed 
 at the same time, to both of which were.reserved cer- 
 tain privileges and rights. 
 
 In the year 1823 a large del)t had accunmlated, 
 which the Corporation was unable to meet. A number 
 
37 
 
 of gentlemen united to raise a fund to extricate the 
 Church from its difficulties, formed themselves into an 
 Association for that purpose, and did extinguish the 
 debt of the Church on certain conditions, which gave to 
 them the exclusive control and management of the 
 Church in all matters relating to its temporal affairs, 
 such as fixing salaries, pew rents, etc., and in 
 all elections of proprietors thej voted according 
 to the amount subscribed by each, viz : from 
 one to eight votes, at all meetings of the Associa- 
 tion ; and, consequently, in all such matters the 
 pew-holders, unless members of the Association 
 were not entitled to vote. In all elections for 
 pastor or clerk the pew-holders, however, were entitled 
 to one vote each. Separate and distinct minutes of 
 the meetings of the Association and pew-holders were 
 kept ; thus two l)odies existed at the same time, each 
 being governed by its own rules, which rules your 
 committee have been appointed to revise. 
 
 In May, 1843, the Association voluntarily relin- 
 quished the rights they possessed, reserving to them- 
 selves the exclusive right as an association and as 
 stockholders, to their original privileges in all matters 
 relating to the sale and disposition of Church prop- 
 erty. 
 
 Members who have connected themselves with this 
 Church more recently, and who are not familiar with 
 its early history, have not been able readily to under- 
 stand the application of the rules for the reasons al- 
 ready given. 
 
 After the relinquishment of the rights of the asso- 
 
38 
 
 ciation, in 1843, it became necessary that a revision of 
 the rules should be made, as numerous alterations, 
 from time to time, of the original rules, by resolutions 
 at various meetings, so conflicted with their admin- 
 istration, as to render it almost imj3ossible to discrimi- 
 nate and apply them ; consequently a committee was 
 appointed to revise and remodel the said rules, so as to 
 simplify them if possible, and render them more easy 
 of applicfltion. That committee never reported, but 
 were relieved, and your present committee was ap- 
 pointed, who now beg leave to present you with the 
 following preamble and rules for the government of 
 the corporation of this Church. 
 
 All of which is respectfully submitted, 
 
 FLEETWOOD LANNEAU, Chairman.

 OF THE 
 
 Corporation of the Second Presbyterian Chnrcli 
 
 Adopted at a Meeting of the Association of Pew-holders. 
 May 4, 1852. 
 
 PKEAMBLE. 
 
 Whereas, tlie Association of the Second Presbyterian 
 Churcli, at an anniversary meeting, 5tli April, 1843, 
 by resolution proposed that all pew-holders not under 
 twenty-one years of age, who had held a pew, or half 
 pew for one year, and who had paid their pew rents in 
 full, and had signed the rules, should be considered as 
 members, and be admitted to all the privileges of the 
 Association, except in the sale or disposition of the 
 Church property ; and 
 
 Whereas the Association did subsequently, at a 
 meeting held on the 1st of May, in same year, for- 
 mally adopt the foregoing resolution, by which all 
 pew-holders not under twenty-one years of age, who 
 had held a jDew or half pew, for one year, and who 
 had paid their pew rents in full, and signed the rules, 
 were admitted members of said Association, with

FOR THE 
 
 CiOVEMMENT OF THE ASSOCIATION, 
 
 Adopted 3d of May, 1852. 
 
 EEPOKT. 
 
 The committee appointed at the recent anniversary 
 meeting to revise the Knles for the Temi3oral Gov- 
 ernment of tliis Cliiirch, ask leave to report, that they 
 immediately entered npon the discharge of that duty 
 and remark that, in framing several of the rules so as 
 to - correspond with the previous alterations and 
 amendments, they were much embarrassed, so to con- 
 struct them, as that they should not conflict with the 
 reserved privileges of the Association, and would su g- 
 gest to that body the consideration of the following 
 modification of their rules, which your committee 
 think will be found amply sufficient for the govern- 
 ment of the Association when convened in the capac- 
 ity of stockholders. Should they be found, upon ex- 
 amination, suitable for the disposition of any business 
 which may be brought before them, without conflicting 
 with the rules as also revised by your committee for 
 the government of the Corporation, your committee 
 would suggest to the Association the adoption of them 
 
52 
 
 for the reasons above stated, and which they now ask 
 leave respectfully to submit.

 Church in the United States," as the rule of their 
 faith and practice, yet inasmuch as there are several

 THE FORM OF INTRODUCTION TO THE 
 CHURCH. 
 
 ADDRESS TO THE CANDIDATES. 
 
 You have thus presented yourselves * l)efore Al- 
 mighty God, with a view to dedicate yourselves f to 
 His service, and to be recognized as members of His 
 visible Church. In this solemn and public contract, 
 you are about to surrender yourselves to your Creator ; 
 to acknowledge Jesus Christ to be your Redeemer ; 
 and yourselves His servants forever. You are sur- 
 rounded by witnesses wlio attest the compact into 
 which you enter. The all-seeing eye of Jehovah is 
 upon you ; and His holy angels are spectators of this 
 scene. Brethren, we trust you have not rashly come 
 up hither. And in this confidence we invite you to 
 approach with holy boldness unto Him who is the 
 
 • The siugular or plural to be used, as required. 
 
 t Or to renew your dedication. This may be used when any one 
 joins on certificate. 
 
59 
 
 head of the Church ; casting all your anxieties and 
 cares upon Him, and relying upon Him alone for 
 grace and strength to fulfil your solemn engagements. 
 
 PROFESSION OF FAITH. 
 
 You believe that there is one true God, constituting 
 in His incomprehensible essence, Father, Son and 
 Holy Ghost, three persons in one Godhead. You be- 
 lieve in the Divine inspiration of the Scriptures of 
 the Old and New Testament ; and that they contain 
 the only rule of faith and practice. You believe in 
 the fall of man, in his entire depravity by nature, 
 and in the necessity of repentance toward God and 
 faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. You believe that 
 by His humiliation, obedience and death, Christ made 
 such a satisfaction to divine justice as is sufficient to 
 expiate all sin, and to remove and wash away the guilt 
 incurred by both original and actual sin, from all who 
 rest upon Him in trutli and sincerity. You beheve in 
 the doctrines of a general resurrection and a future 
 judgment ; hi the everlasting blessedness of the right- 
 eous, and in the endless punishment of the finally 
 impenitent. 
 
 COVENANT.* 
 
 And now, in the presence of God and of these wit- 
 nesses, you do solemnly surrender yourselves to the 
 Lord, receiving Him as your portion, and acknowl- 
 edging Him to be the supreme object of your love. 
 Depending upon divine grace for assistance, you 
 
 *Baptism of adults administered here. 
 
60 
 
 hereby sacredly Innd yourselves to glorify God by 
 obedience to His laws, and by a diligent observance of 
 His ordinances. You promise to separate yourselves 
 from the world, so far as its engagements would cool 
 your attachments to piety, or bring a stigma upon 
 your holy profession. You are willing to consecrate 
 a reasonable portion of your time, influence and prop- 
 erty to the cause of Christ ; to co-operate in every 
 good work ; to live not unto yourselves, but unto Him 
 who died for you ; and in your closets, in your fami- 
 lies, and in the world, to act as becometh the gospel 
 of Christ, and as you are required in the w^ord of 
 God. You pledge yourselves to obey the laws and 
 regulations of this particular Church, and, as far as 
 possil)le, to attend upon all its services, while you con- 
 tinue members of the same, throwing yourselves upon 
 its care, and affectionately regarding its interests. 
 
 CONCLUDING ADDRESS. 
 
 Beloved in the Lord, the contract you have now 
 formed, no power on earth can dissolve. These en- 
 gagements will follow you through time, and accom- 
 pany you to the judgment seat.f 
 
 "We, who are members of this Church, affection- 
 iitely welcome you to fellowship M'ith us. We hail 
 you as participants of the same glorious hope aud 
 blessing of the gospel. 
 
 And now, when you depart from this place, carry 
 Avith you the salutary recollection that the eyes of the 
 
 tThe members of the Church will rise and remain stand- 
 ing during the remainder of the address- 
 
61 
 
 world are upon you, and that as yon henceforth con- 
 duct yourselves, relio;ion will be disgraced or honored. 
 Remember that your engagement is not with man, but 
 with God. The inaclivity therefore of others, their 
 illiberality, their coldness, their neglect of Sabbath 
 and week-day services, can never furnish an excuse 
 for your dereliction. You stand or fall each one of 
 you by yourselves. Aljide then, near a throne of 
 grace ; be diligent in duty ; watchful in life and con- 
 versation ; and constant in your attendance on the 
 means of grace ; and you shall be assured of the ful- 
 filment of that promise, '" tliat He who has beo-un a 
 good work in you will perform it until the day of 
 Jesus Christ." And may the blessing of God the 
 Father, Son and Holy Ghost rest upon and abide 
 with you forever. Amen. 
 
 The person, or persons, shall then be instructed ta 
 resume their seats, when the Communion service shall 
 proceed. 
 
 RULE VTII. 
 
 Admission on Certificate. — Yet although these 
 shall be the regulations for admission, they shall be 
 considered applicable only to such as have not been 
 members of another C^hurch, with whom we are un- 
 derstood to be in full fellowship. Applicants from 
 such a Church, who present a certificate of good 
 standing, and whose characters are known to be pious 
 and exemplary, are not required to enter into public 
 covenant, they having engaged in that act in the 
 Church from which thev are transferred. The volun- 
 
62 
 
 tary renewal of sach a profession Ijefore this Church, 
 is, however, considered proper and highl}- beneficial 
 to themselves and others, and therefore recommended. 
 The names of such persons, as well as others, shall be 
 read from the pulpit.

 the Presbyterian Church,) when offence is given. 
 
 EULE XIL 
 
 Neglect of Communion. — Any member absent- 
 ing himself from the Communion twice in succession, 
 shall be called upon hj the Session for his reason for 
 this neglect. And if no proper reason be given, he 
 
63 
 
 shall be dealt with ])y the Session, in such way as

 EXTRACT FROM OLD PwULES OF THIS 
 ^ CHURCH. 
 
 Adopted about 1848. 
 
 The following paper was adopted by the Session of 
 the Second Presbyterian Church in Charleston, in 
 view of the appointment of Deacons : 
 
 The Bible and onr standards have made the office 
 of Deacon, in distinction from that of the Pastor and 
 the Ruling Elder, plain, obvious and imperative. And 
 the General Assembly, together with our Presbytery, 
 have called upon every church where the office has 
 fallen into disuse, to have it restored. The Ministry 
 and the Eldership have relation to the doctrine, dis- 
 cipline and government of the Church ; and the 
 Deaconship to the general interests of the poor, to 
 collections made for pious purposes, and, generally, 
 to all matters relating to the interests of the Church? 
 in which the Session may desire their co-operation. 
 
 It is thus manifest that the duties assigned to Dea- 
 cons, need not interfere either with those of the 
 Session on the one hand, or of such officers on the 
 other hand, as are appointed by the congregation, for 
 the exclusive management of its fiscal affairs, its 
 buildings, and its burial ground. 
 
 Resolved, therefore, that this session do now pro- 
 ceed to nominate as many Deacons as may be at 
 present expedient, to be recommended to the Church 
 for their election. 
 
126 
 
 Resolved, That, in doing this, the fullowini^ rules 
 be adopted, for the better understanding of the mutual 
 duties of Deacons and Ehlers : 
 
 1st. The session, consisting of Pastor and Ruling 
 Elders, constitute the supreme and only authorized 
 body in the Church, for directing (in accordance with 
 its spiritual rules) everything pertaining to the spiritual 
 order, government and discipline of the same. 
 
 2nd. The Deacons, therefore, are appointed to act 
 only in accordance with the views of the session, and 
 within that held to which session may direct their 
 labors ; and all nominations for that office shall be 
 made by the session. 
 
 3rd. It shall be the duty of the Deacons to appoint 
 a Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer, and to keep 
 minutes of all their proceedings, which shall be sub- 
 mitted to the session for review and approval once a 
 quarter. 
 
 ■Ith. Within the Held assigned to them, it shall be 
 the duty of the Deacons to devise and employ every 
 proper means for furthering the objects entrusted to 
 their care. 
 
 5th. Once a quarter, or oftener, if necessary, the 
 Deacons shall meet with the session, when they shall 
 make tlieir report and receive directions and advice, 
 and when appropriations to the regular beneficiaries 
 of the Church shall be made. 
 
 6th. In regard to the specific duties of the Deacons. 
 Resolred, that to them he committed, under the afore- 
 said direction and superintendence of the session — 
 
 I. The poor, and everything pertaining to their 
 temporal comfort and advantage. 
 
127 
 
 II. The collections for all religions pnrposes, to be 
 made in the congregation as appointed by the session, 
 and the means of rendering them more general, more 
 eqnal, more liberal, and therefore more systematic. 
 
 III. The arrangements for the acconmiodation of 
 strangers and others, at all the meetings of the Church. 
 
 IV. It shall be the duty of the Deacons also to use 
 every proper and practicable means for inducing 
 strangers to attend the Church — for aiding and assist- 
 ing young men and others in procuring situations or 
 employment — for promoting, as far as practicable, the 
 temporal welfare, business and prospects, of members 
 of the Church ; and in every other way for furtliering 
 its interests. 
 
 V. It shall be further the duty and business of the 
 Deacons, to assist in promoting the circulation of such 
 periodicals, as, in the judgment of the session, it is de- 
 sirable to circulate in the congregation. 
 
 Finally, as it regards the election and ordination of 
 Deacons. Resolved^ that they be conducted in the 
 same manner as those of Ruling Eklei's, according to 
 Kules 1 and 2 of this Church.
