Revival at Gordonsville.

DR.. Handy has received and accepted call
to the churches at Gordonsvllc, Orange C. H.
and Madison c. H.
Our readers will be interested in some ex-
tracts from letter written by him just be-
fore the meeting Of Synod
Son my arrival at Gordonsyile, on Satur-
day last, fouEd Brother Bedinger preaching
his farewell sermon, to a respectable congrega-
ton. assembled in the Presbyterian church.
He had been holding a continued meeting :
and was now closing the services with his
eleventh discourse \ local Methodist preach
err was occupying the pulpit with him, on that
day: but the meeting had been conducted,
for the most part, without any ministerial as
siStance whatever; and God had blest his la
bOrs by gracious outpouring Of the Spirit,
which resulted in the conversion of some four
teen or fifteen souls Eight persons were adj
mitted to the church on that day,-four of
whom were baptized by him, Immediately after
preaching. ! assisted in introducing them to
the church, by public profession Of their
faith, the elders all being absent, in conse-
quence of pressing business and their long dis
tances from Gordonsville.
Among the number of those recently admit
ted are two aged females, each of them near
threescore and ten One of the males is per-
son about ffty-five years Of age. Only one of
the late converts is less than eighteen years
old, and she is a daughter of the minister.
| have preached six sermons since my arrival
on Saturday last-two at Orange Court house :;
one at GordOnsyille, and three at Wolftown.-
Two persons were admitted TO the church at
Orange Court house, on last Sabbath, one of
whom was baptized. There is evidently good
state Of feeling in the church there and other
additions may be expected shortly
a note of later date says:
Our meeting at Wolftown closed last night.
The result has met our most sanguine expecta-
tons. The congregations increased 10 the last.
During the sermon on Saturday night audible
sobs were heard through the congregation; and
the general feeling was intense. On Sabbath
morning the house was crowded. even the gal
leres, which extend around the building being
filled to ovefhowng The Lord Supper was
administered after preaching; and very few
seemed disposed to leave the house. Two per-
sons made public profession Of their faith in
Chsist, for the first time; and one of them a
young man converted at Fort Delaware, re-
ceived the ordinance Of baptism. In the after
noon we had an inquiry meeting at which 4
number of anxious persons attended. Some
professors Of religion, mourning over their past
GOODNESS and Indifference, were deeply affected.
We are not able TO judge of results at pre-
sent There is reason. however, to believe
that rich harvest will yet be gathered. To
God be all the glory!'

SHOW RS.

The lovely October sun, bright without OPP
pressive heat, yet warm enough to remove the
chilliness Of autumnal breezes callsuS to cheerful
duty and to cheerful praise. A healthy man in
the month of October, if no secret sorrow cor
rodes his heart, enjoys life as much as any other
being. His cares shrink to smaller proportions,
his vexations almost wear a smile, his friends
seem more pleasant, and his foes, if he has
any, are more good-natured His step is light
and bouyant, his work is more easily performed,
his limbs are strong at the close Of the day-he
seeks his home with a song, and greets its in
mates with burst of irrepressible JOY.
Whatever may have been said of the first
half of October 1868, the latter half opens as
a real October The summer heats, the clouds
of dust, the brown withered fields, all the de-
pressing features of the long, long drought are
gone the rains have come, the earth is re-
freshed, the little spires of grass are greener
already; the fountains and the streams are re-
newed, the softened soil yields to the plough
share, and the prospect of coming harvest is
frightened. "Oh that men would praise the
Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful
works to the children of men,
Weeping may endure for night, but joy
comethin the morning. Forthree long months
we have sighed for the showers to come, and
waited and watched for them in vain: The
earth seemed as iron under our feet, and the
heavens as brass over our heads.
In God good time the rains descended
Some of our neighbors had pecuniary inter
est which led them to wish that wet weather
might be longer postponed, while the great
majority greeted its advent with Joy and relief
Some would IKE the rain to continue for Il day
others for two or three days, and others again
would be glad to have a whole week of weeping
clouds.
But He without whom not a sparrow falls to
the ground, has weighed and numbered each
drop, and given it its mission. Our view when
compared with his is as limited as one of those
drops when compared with the Ocean. We
have his promise that bread shall be given and
water shall be sure, and whether he defers
or postpones the dispensations which seem to
us to be essential to the supply Of our wants,
1t Is well, 1t Is well. Gratitude and duty are
ours, all the rest belongs to Him
There is cry of distress which these showers
have not hushed, dearth and decay not remov-
ed by the rain that falls from the natural heav-
ems. The desoations of Zion remain; the
mourners are not comforted; from many
dreary thirsty spot the plaintiye strains ascend
Z" How long, 0 Lord, how long?'
And yet in respect to these spiritual wants,
these heavenly blessings, we have more sure
word Of promise than any which appertains to
our earthly comfort. We need not say . If it
be thy will open the windows of heaven and
pour us out a blessing" His will is revealed
it is your sanctifcation:' He would
have all men to be saved and to come unto
knowledge of the truth. lie bids us give

near Besides this it was great means OF
grace to those engaged in it, and so 1t would
be here 1t would probably be worth even
more in this respect than in the other. Is II
not our plain duty to encourage these societies
in every way we can? May we not gather
useful hint from the light in which the great
Apostle viewed the agency Of this devoted
class of Christians? Help those women
which labored with me in the gospel. ga

Lord. "
Rer. r. MIl,caiac of Farmyille, said that
we had been all greatly cheered by the remarks
to which We had just listened. We could see
light opening tn: ough what had before seemed
so dark; we could see prospect Of relief to
brethren now struggling with great difficulties
Did it not seem appropriate that we should
before this discussion closed, unite in hearty
Thanksgiving to the Father of mercies?
Rer. DR.. White, of Lexington then led us
in this delightful worship; and thus ended in
the Synod their deliberations concerning good
work, which we ferventy hope is only beginning
in the churches, and which God will bless as
the instrument of incalculable good to Zion

MINISTERIAL SUPPORT.

This subject engaged the attention of the
late Synod at Lynchburg, and elected among
the able laymcn of that body a discussion cred
liable to their intelligence and their liberalitv
\ venerable minister profoundly impressed by
what he heard, exhOrted his brethren to com
fort one another with these words, and urged
the elders to talk to the people at home as they
talked in Synod
This we have no doubt these elders will do,
for we take them to be men of their word and
if the keynote which they so heartily and elo-
quently struck in Lynchburg, meets with a
cheerful response among the members of our
churches, many poor preacher will find some
thing in his pocket, which his utmost efforts
have not enabled him to discover there before
We truly glad that we have such watch
men upon the walls Of Zion as these honorable
gentlemen who thus spoke at Synod. For
their legal ability, intellectual power, enlight-
ened views and high Christian character we
felt pride, not sinful we hope, in the laity of
that body We praised the grace of God
which had sanctified such talent, and felt cheer
full and strong in the aggregate power of our
Church. And when we discovered, that while
their noble generous aspirations found eloquent
expression in all the plans proposed for the en-
largement of our Zion, they turned with care
full eye to this little question of ministerial
finance, which is so often forgotten or over
looked tone of them going so far as to pro-
nounce all measures of.Church extension sub
ordinate to it, our hearts rejoiced the more
We leave this cause in their hands, and with
others like-minded with them. We hope they
will agitate, agitate, agitate.
We are persuaded that much of the mat
tention to the wants Of our ministers results
from forgetfulness.
People do not reflect that the postponement
of their payments to the support of the pastor
cuts off his supply of bread. They do not re-
member that he has no other resource; or they
fancy, and it is strange how baseless fancy
will soothe restless conscience, that he has
some hidden spring whence all his wants are
supplied; while he, poor man, looks at their
comfort and their plenty, and wonders and

FREDERICKSBURG CHURCH.

The wonderful vitality of our people, whose
pleasant things and happy places were so sadly
laid waste by the cruel hand of war, brings to
our view almost every week, some new and
struggling effort to repair our desOations, and
restore the beauty of our better days.
No town probably suffered more than Fred
cricksburg, and no church within our bounds
presents, to-day, in its condition of deep i'm
poverishment nd affection, more striking
contrast with its former state Of wealth and
prosperity than the Presbyterian church Of
that battered and noble old city.
But Ichabod may not yet be written over
its portals-for its glory is not departed. The
faith of its people, as they return, like Nehe-
miah, to look sadly upon the ruins Of their
city and their temple, rises above the difficult
ties that surround them, and prompts them to
plans and enterprise which reveal the true life
and power of goodness.
Before the close of war, when the storm
seemed for a while to have left Fredericksburg
to a state of repose, part of the congregation
returned, and a goodly number were found
gathered Sabbath after Sabbath, in their lee
tire room, which their energy soon reftted for
this purpose
This place is now too strait for them, and
unsuitable in important particulars for theirpub-
lie services They have an acceptable preacher
(Rev. T. w Gilmer) ministering to them, and
growing congregation. Their eyes are turned
with strong desire to the larger house, in which
once Horshipped people whose wealth and
liberal spirit poured forth benefactions upon
feeble churches destitute ministers, and every
institution for promoting the gospel with which
they were connected. That people can now tell
of their losses which have reduced the wealth
lest among them from afHuence to poverty, and
of beautiful homes that fell a prey to the de-
stroyer when the townwas sacked and Its streets
strewed with fragments and ruins.
To replace the seats and repair the damages
which balls and shells, and the violence of
lawless soldiery inflicted is quite beyond the
power of those for whom the meagre remnants
of former fortune, and the diminished resources
of the desolate country around them, can
scarcely yield daily supply of bread.
They appeal to their brethren and Christian
friends in localities which have suffered less
they ask for helB not alone for their own COM
fort and privilege in the worship of God but
because their c rch is an important one in
that part of Il tie. Once more equipped
and prc7pe reasonably be expected
to dispense i nty as of old and by send
ing forth strea. # influence upon a wide and
needy tract of intry around it, to repay an
hundred fold in benefits to the cause of
Christ among OH people, every mite that is
bestowed for its relief in this, the hour of its
deep necessity.

SUNDAYS Executed"

We are happy to see, from an advertisement
before us, that this significant announcement
is applied to the daily train running from
Stanton to Richmond, over the Central Rail
road. No train on that road by day light at
least will now disturb the quiet of Gods holy
Sabbath, proclaim defiance of His command,
and deprive his creatures of their lawful rest.
We honor the Directory for their action,
which is the more commendable in this day of
rival routes and eager competition. But for
them, and for others alike invested with re-
sponsibility in this matter, who refuse to follow
their example, we have word of higher au-
thority than any which can spring from human
appreciation or censure. Them that honor
Me will I honor; but they that despise Ne
shall be lightly esteemed. F"

GRATEFUL ACKNOWLEDGMENT

The Central is out in new dress, and of
about the same ample dimensions it had five
years ago But it does not propose to make
fuss over the event, or follow a distasteful
practice by proclaiming itself the best family
religious newspaper in the country 1t is not
meet, however, that the occasion should pass
without an expression of sincere gratitude, to
the many friends who have so generously stood
by it in the day of its calamity. The Office has
been refumished, and with continuance Of
the cooperation thus far so heartily given, the
plan announced some months since in orr cir
culars for re-establishing the paper, and recon-
mended by brethren in this city and elsewhere,
will be in little while completely successful
The Editors feel themselves greatly en-
couraged by the demonstrations of good will
so warmly given from all quarters, not in the
South only, but in the North and North west
also. The very best return they can make for
it all, will be to address themselves with new
zeal and frmer purpose to the responsible
work allotted to them. 1t shall be their
daily prayer and effort to make the Central
PesJwey1cn by the blessing of God, more
than ever before a useful paper to the church.
If it may become an honored instrument in
protecting that beloved church, to whose in
terests it is most specially devoted, against
error and wrong, in defending, against MS
chievous Erastianism, those great principles Of
religious liberty which are her birth-right, III
instructing, guiding and comforting her chill
dren, in stimulating with healthful vigor herein
terprisc in all good works, and in promoting a
true, scriptural unity among all who love om
Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity, then shall the
consummation of our highest hopes be reached
and the glory shall be to Him who loved the
church and BOUGHT it with his own blood.

"How if can be ACCOMPLISHED" q,

IlOH IL SehAA w ASNSA1A pAA'-ANN' III "'
article in the Central Presbyterian about a
month ago, we called attention to the great diff
ficultes of our church at present in supporting
Domestic Missionaries and young brethl en- pre-
pairing for the ministry The plan of Female
Benevolent Societies was suggested. From
what the reader may find in the proceedings OF
the Synod of Virginia, it will be seen how cor
daily this plan has been adopted. Now will
our pastors and good people act upon it eff
ciently and promptly? All depends upon this
1t cannot be doubted that general movement
will be made without delay. a number of con-
gregations, in fact, did not wait for the Synod 5
action, but were ready beforehand. 1t will
be seen that the ladies of four Presbyterian
churches in Richmond have started with good
will, and will be gratifed to cooperate with
their sisters of other congregations throughout
the State a meeting of ladies was convened
in the First Presbyterian church on the after
noon of the day this subject was discussed in
the Synod. Rev. Drs. Hoge, Mitchell and Bo-
cock met with them, and by the last two APP
propriate addresses were made. We hope
often to refer to this operation. and to have
many good things to tell concerning the bless
ings it will scatter along its happy way.
