little town on the Ohio river opposite Madison,
Ind, of some 500 or 600 souls When Rev. w.
| Hall, OF Carrollton, commenced preaching there
perhaps year or two ago-the field was pre-oc.
cupied by the Campbellites. There was only
single Presbyterian family in the community The
services, which were held once month, aroused
inquiry on questions of doctrine, and the way was
gradually opened for planting a church In August
last the Rev. p. II. Thompson, of Louisville,
visited thecongregation and organized little Pres
byteran church OF seventeen members. Since then
there has been very interesting series of services
in which the Rev. MIR. Hall was assisted by Rev.
d. 7. Young and which God was pleased to bless
in the conversion of souand the addition of eleven
to this little flock. The church now numbers
twenty-eight communicates There are several
more who will soon unite with it-thus forming
church Of thirty-fve or forty members-which has
grown up in community where Presbyterianism
was almost unknown-as the result of few months
OF faithful labor 1t is pleasant to record such
instances of the rewards of evangestic labors for
the encouragement of others in similar work
