Presbytery of Nassau Meets

New York, 1895

The Presbytery of Nassau began its annual spring meeting at Hempstead on Tuesday. Rev. J. Howard Hobbs, of Jamaica, was elected Moderator, and Rev. A. G. Russell, of Oyster Bay, Permanent Clerk. An impressive address was made by the retiring Moderator, Jonathan Greenleaf, of Whitestone.

An important feature was the examination of Auville Fletcher, a graduate of Union Theological seminary, by the Presbytery. Mr. Fletcher passed his examination with high honor and will be presented with a license.
