PROSPECTUS =
OF
THE NORTH CAROLINA PRESBYTERIAN

The PRESBYTERIAN Church in North Carolina |
has long labored under a serious disadvantage |
from the want of journal to advocate her
claims and represent her interests. 1t is esti-
mated that only 1000 Presbyterian Weeklles |
are taken in the bonnds OF our three Presbyte- |

is safe to infer that there are 10000 Presby-
terians in principle in the State. Our Synod
stands fifth in the Union in point of numbers,
and her membership is greater than that of
any Synod South OR West of Pennsylvania

Presby terian for the benefit of their people

Church in North Carolina should likewise do
her duty to her children. 1t is a conceded and
important fact, that hundreds OF our members
will take State paper who will take no other

SYNOD and Presbyteres- to elevate and en-
tighten the piety of our membership by dlffssing

Ministry and to strengthen the attachment OF
our people to the soil and sanctuaries OF theit
