The Southern Presbytery.—This Presbytery met in Glasgow on the 17th February. The Clerk reported that he had received the following letter from Mr. P. M. Chisholm, student, whose case was before the November Synod: “11 Cathcart Place, Edinburgh, 4th February, 1913. Dear Mr. Sinclair,—In acknowledging yours of 26th November, 1912, intimating findings of Synod in my case, I am resolved to adhere to the position already taken up by me. I have nothing further to concede.—With kind regards, I am, yours sincerely, P. M. CHISHOLM.”
In view of this communication, the Presbytery unanimously adopted the following resolution in the case:—The Presbytery, having considered a note received from Mr. P. M. Chisholm, student, stating that he is ‘resolved to adhere to the position already taken up’ by him, and that he has ‘nothing further to concede,’ express their regret at this attitude, and declare that Mr. Chisholm has left them no alternative in view of such an unsatisfactory statement, but to proceed in accordance with the Synod’s special instructions in the case, and to remove his name, as they now hereby do, from the roll of students under their jurisdiction.”
