Presbytery, viz.: We, the undersigned members of Elm Grove

God and advance the cause of religion, by being divided into two
congregations. Therefore, we would respectfully ask, that you
grant said division and authorize the Rev.
John Hudson to organize that part of Elm Grove congregation
that wishes to go into the new organization, into a new congregation,
and that it be known and styled the Pilot Knob congregation
of the C.P. church; and we hereby promise to comply with and be
governed by the rules and regulations of the C.P. church, as adopted
by your General Assembly, and to support the Gospel ministry,
as God in his providence grants us prosperity. [Signed.] J. S.
