burg church, s. c., has received and accented
call to the Fourth church in New Orleans.
He leaves Orangeburg this week for his new
field of labor. The Fourth church was for
some years under the pastoral care of the Rev.
Gaylord L. More.
1t is with deep pain that we give up Mr..
Dickson as neighbor. But the interests Of
the church are one; and we rejoice that New
Orleans is about to receive the accession of
one so vel fitted by his native talent, his cul-
tivation, and his untiring energy and zeal in
the blessed Masters work, to promote our
cause at that centre Of influence. This region
has repeatedly been called upon within few
years to give up some of its brightest orna-
ments and most useful pastors to the same
city; but the qualification of seeing DR.. Pal
mer, and Mr.. Mallard and now Mr.. Dickson,
laboring in fields where all their powers NAV
he called into full play in advancing the inter.
ests OF our Church, wholly excludes any pitt
fdl regrets which sectional feeling might sug-
gest, and even browns the pain of separation
from cherished personal friends Southern.
