On motion II was resolved that they have
leave to present the call. r'T ..40. ~
The Moderator stated that at the several
meetings Of the congregation Of the Bridge
street church, the proceedings were very
harmonious, aud that they had unanimously
resolved to pay their future pastor the same
amount as had boon received by the Rev.
DR.. Taylor. II
The question was asked whether Mr.. Mof-
fat would probably accept, and Rev. Mr..
Fox remarked that he did not think he
would like to change. He thought he was
opposed to being moved. However, the
Brdge-street church could best ascertain
that fact by personal effort In that dlrec-
tlon. '.I g" ~.
Rev. Mr.. Bittlngcr made a report relative
to the mission work at Cabin Johns Run.
The proposition to build union church
with the Methodists at that point had been
abandoned, and the Presbyterians would
complete the work. Rev. Mr.. Van Dorcn
also reported that he had preached at that
place on last Sabbath, and would again
preach thore on next Sabbath week. .-.F
Rev. Mr.. Fox submitted letter from Rev.
DR.. A. Nevin, pastor of the Presbyterian
church at West Point, Virginia, requesting
to be received by the Presbytery of Potomac,
and setting forth the urgent need which the
congregation felt for funds to complete the
church ediflce recently begun. The congre-
cation was not large, but the town was
growing rapidly, and very soon would DO
able to support pastor.
Mr.. Fox also submitted letter from Rev.
DR.. Musgrave, OF Philadelphia, addressed
| to DR.. Nevin, recommending him to connect
himself with the Potomac Presbytery as the
| one nearest to West Point.
DR.. Tustln moved that the church be re-
celyed by the Presbytery. r.'s..-.
The subject was discussed at some length.
| II appears that DR.. Nevln has recently estab
lished church in that locality, aud the pas,
tor aud people desire to connect themselves
with the Northern General Assembly. 1t
was finally deemed expedient to appoint a
committee to consider this application Of
DR.. Nevin.
DR.. Tustin then withdrew his motion, and
| Rev. DR.. Tustin, Rev. Mr.. Fox and Prof.
| Nourse were appointed on tho committee to |
examine the proposition OF the West Point
church, to report at the next meeting Of the
Presbytery.
| DIR. Tustln offered the following; which |
was unanimously adopted -
Rs,oired, That the thanks OF this Presbytery |
are due, and are hereby cordially rendered. TO
