252 John Leighton Wilson, D. D. One notable change in the practical administration of the departments of church work made by the Assembly was the abolition of Boards and the appointment of executive committees which were placed in different parts of the church. Dr. Wilson nominated Columbia as the location of the Committee of Missions, and offered as reasons (we quote from memory), that it was in a central position, that from the number of resi- dent ministers a committee could be formed, and t...hat it was in proximity to the sea-coast. He was placed in charge of the foreign missionary work, and "the sub- lime spectacle of faith was seen of a church * hedged in by a cordon of armies, looking out upon the whole world as its field, and quietly preparing herself for work in the future. ' ' During the war the churches kept the Treasury of Foreign Missions well supplied with funds, which were sent to the Indian mission and to several Southern missionaries in various foreign fields. He was at the Assembly in Columbia in 1863 when this venerable court was turned into a prayer- onewa meeting, beseeching God to spare the life of Stonewall Jackson.
