PROSPECTUS =
THE NORTH CAROLINA PREsBYTERIAN.

!
The PRESBYTERIAN Church in North Carolina
has long labored under a serious disadvantage
from the want of journal to advocate ner
claims and represent her interests. 1t is estl-
mated that only 1000 Presbyterian Weeklies
are taken in the bounds of our three Presbyfes
ries We have l3, 900 COMMITMENTS, and .Ie
is safe to infer that there are 81, O0O fresnyT
terians in principle in the State. Our Syned
stands fifth in the Union in point of numbers,
and her membership is greater than that oI
any Synod South West of Pennsylvania
! Our sister States on the North and South,
neither of which has membership so large as
ours publish the Central, and the Southern

Church in North Carolina should likewise DO
her duty to her children. 1T is a conceded ana
! 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 Presbyteries-t to elevate and en-
tighten the piety Of our membership by dlfHslng
evangelical knoWledge-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.
If our Church in other States, and other
Churches in this State, can supply their men,
Are North Carolina Presby terians inferior in
talent, energy and patriotism to their neIghbOrs
on the \ orth OF South, or 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 sou of State, "It
ought~to have been undertaken 20 years ago,
but it is not too late to begin to do right"
