PROSPECTUS:
THE NORTH CAROLINA PRESBYTEH4lAA

The PRESBYTERIAN Church in North Canessna
has long labored under serious disadpMhge
from the want Of journal to advocafezAer
claims and represent her interests 1t = Essi-
mated that only 1000 Presbyterian Wee &les
are taken in the bounds Of our three PresM
res. We have l3, 900 Communicates, an #
is safe to infer that there 80, 600 Ir84E-
terians in principle in the State Our ss1lssnQ
stands fifth in the Union i'll point of nszle
and her membership is greater than
any synod a~Se.A!s-- s--or--1Ve Get of Eenasy q
Our sister States on the North ana Sontss,
neither of which has membership so large as
ours publish the Central, and the Southern
Presby yterian for the benefit of their people.
The time has come when the Presbyterian
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 Il State paper who will take no other.
The Paper is needed to be the organ of our
Synod and Presbyteries- to elevate and en-
tighten the piety Of our membership by diffasng
evangelical knowedge-to promote the cause
of Educaton-to develope the talents of our
Ministry, and to strengthen the attachment of
our people to the soil and sanctuares Of their
own State.
If our Church in other States, and other
Churches in this State, supply their mem
bers with religious journal, why may not we?
Are North Carolina Presby yterians inferior in
talent, energy and patriotism to their neighbors
on the North 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
Minister'S an adopted son Of our State, ut
ought to have been undertaken 20 years ago,
but it is not too late to begin to do right"
In the last two or three months, fund Of
about $4,000 has been subscribed as a perma-
nent capital A meeting Of the contributors
held at Greensborough on the 14th OF May,-

1t is our wish and design to make tue EoRrH
CAROLINA PRESBYTERIAN a journal OF the hrst
class, equal to the best in the country III typo
graphics: appearance and i'll adaptation to the
wants of our Churches. Its columns will afford
the latest intelligence both foreign and domes-

G.. Presbyterians. Whilst we rely confidently
upon their favor, we trust that the native son
