Most of the congre gations were paid up in full to the end of the la< quarter, and those in arrears were only for small amounts, At the night session some members spoke freely on the proposed overture to tiie general assembly asking that the t< mire of office of the stated clerk of "that body be fixed ot five years, and his s dary at <3.000 pef year. J The complaint; i.s not made against Dr. Rdberts as au officer* so much as against the manner in which his salary has been raised from $"2,000 to #4.000 and the spirit of indifference in which protests have been treated. One member said when he raado a protest to the committee last year about the size of the salary, be was told tluit he should be thankful that it was not made $5,000. Thi* presbytery, said another, has been so economical that it could only pay half the delegate's ex penses to the synod, while they permit Dr. Roberts to rob us. The overture was passed. Another knotty problem before the presbytery was the request of Plains church to have its union with Crest view dissolved. This trouble began u year ago, resulting in the oj Rev. H. E.
