Presby[tery] met, at the call of the moderator, and was constituted by prayer. The members present as before, except Mr. Mitchell of Xenia and Massies-creek, absent on leave.
Rev. R. Lusk laid before the court a call, duly attested, as having been moderated by him, in the Miami congregation.
The instrument having been examined and sustained as a regular gospel call; was ordered to be presented to Mr. Lusk, for acceptance or rejection.
