PROSPECTUS
or
THE NORTH CAROLINA PRESBYTERIAN AN

The Presbyterian Church in North Carolina
has long labored under serious disadvantage
from the want of journal to advocate her
claims and represent her interests. It is esti-
mated that only 1000 Presbyterian Weeklies
are taken i'll the bounds of our three Presbyte-
ries. We have $1,000 Communicates, and it
is safe to infer that there are 10000 Presby-
terians i'll 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.
Our sister States on the North and South,
neither of which has mem bership so large as
ours, publish the Central and the Southern
Presbyterian, 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.
The Paper is needed to be the organ of our
Synod and PreShyteries- to elevate and en-
Tighten the piety of our membership by diffHsing
evangelical know ledge-to promote the cause
of Education-to develope the talents of our
Ministry, and to strengthen the attachment of
our people to the soil and sanctuaries Of their
own State
Churches in this State can supply their mem
bers with religious journal, why may not we?
Are North Carolina Presbyterans inferior in
talent, energy and patriotism to their neighbors
on the North South, to Christians of
| other denominations at home? With the
same or better opportunities of accomplishing
this work, shall we leave it undone? In the
language Of one of our most able and useful
Ministers, an adopted son of our State, ut
! ought to have been undertaken 20 years ago,
but 1T is not too late to begin to do right"
| In the last two three months, a fund Of
| about $4,000 has been subscribed as a perma-
nent capital. At meeting of the contributors
