The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1867-11-27

Perhaps the most desirable result yet men
toned is the production of healthier state
of feeling in the church itself; if this can be
rendered abiding, and the standard OF plety
be permanently raised among US, it will OF all
others be the result for which God is most to
be praised; and the ordinary means of grace
will bear more precious and more abundant
! fruit in the future than in the past
Cor. of North Carolina Presbyterian.
The Domestic Missionary Committee OF Fay
etteville Presbytery will meet in the Lecture
Room OF the Presbyterian Church, Fayette-
vile, on Tuesday, December Sd, 1867, to elect
an Evangelist to labor in the Eastern bounds
of the Presbytery, as ordered at the late meet
ing of Presbytery at Goldsboro'
Revival at Centre, N C.-Rev. j. II. Cotton
writes to the North Carolina Presbyterian.
1--WE have had very precious season of
grace at Centre Our communion was on the
Sd Sabbath in Oct | think there had been
much earnest prayer for some time before
Indeed, we had begun to feel our need OF the
reviviDg influences of Gods Spirit | think
the congregation were desiring and expecting
blessing. | was assisted by father Mclean
and brother A. Mcqueen. We continued our
meeting until Wednesday. Forty five persons
all, with only one exception young persons
connected themselves with the church, and
goodly number of others, we hope, will yet
be gathered in.
New Bethel Church, Tenn.---A correspondent
of the Christian Observer, after writing of the
protracted meeting at Messy Creek, which we
noticed last week, says:
'On my return home after nine days alb
sence, | found a letter informing me of the
good work done at New Bethel church, in Nc
Mimi county, by Brothers G. A. Caldwell and
w. W. Morrison. 1t was to this church that
Brother Caldwell went from Messy Greek.
New Bethel has occupied rather anomalous
position until this meeting, and has been claim
ed by the New School (Northern) Presbytery.
Now, | am informed, it has settled the ques-
ton by the voice of the church and connects
itself with the Presbytery of Knoxville. Du-
ring the meeting, there were seven additions
to the church-six on examination. The I'M
preston made on the community was very tav-
vorable. East Tennessee is a good held, and
God has greatly blessed US in our labors In the
last two years. May He still give testimony to
the Word of His grace, and let 1t have free
course and be glori6ed We find no time to
rest-work is ever ready for us, and the cry for
the preaching of the Word comes from all
quarters. 1t is "a desirable place for any
minister, who wants plenty of work and fair
prospect of doing good Such brethren we
need to help US. May God send us men after
His own heart"
Palmyra Church, Alabama-The pastor writes:
" / closed a most delightful meeting at Pal
myra church on Monday night the 4th inst,
when six or seven persons were ENJOYING
hope, some of them having found the Saviour
during the administration of the Sacrament on
the Sabbath. One of these was the oldest son
of the pastor, who, with some others was re
ceived into the communion of the church
Others are expected to join soon. Rev. DR..
Robinson, of Eufaula, was with us part of the
time, and preached much to our edi6cation. y
