Macedonia Church, Monroe County. Ark.

Mr.. s j. Price. the secretary of congrega
tional meeting held at this church, sends us the
following resolutions for publication. He says
very appropriately: They may meet the eye OF
some brother laboring in the same cause. In some
other destitute portion of our stricken land, and
encourage him in his work Few, in the older
States, can appreciate the difficulties with which
Mr.. Brown has had to contend in carrying forward
his work" The resolutions are:
Whereas our beautiful church .edifce is now
complete in all its parts, and need OF praise is
due to our beloved pastor, Rev. II. U. Brown, TOR
his energy and fidelity in pushing forward said
work to its completion, by the liberal donations
obtained through his exertions, and his personal
labor bestowed on the same therefore
Resolved, That our thanks and gratitude are
due to him. and are hereby respectfully and kindly
rendered for the noble patient and self-sacrliclng
part he has borne in this work.
ResolUed, That our thanks are due and respect
fully rendered to o. persons who have made dona
tons to it.
Resolred, further, that the Rev. H. G. Brown
is our first choice for the pastorate OF Macedonia
congregation, and that the officers of the church
are requested and instructed, to use all proper
means TO secure continuation Of his labors with
us.
Resolued, That these resolutions be signed by
the Chairman and Secretary, and be transcribed
into the church book and that copy be flu nished
the Central Presbyterian, the Southern Resbyte-
rian, and the Christian Observer, with a request
that they publish the same.

UNION SEMINARY.

The Rev. DR.. B. NJ Smith passed through this
city early last week on his return from short visit
to New York, in the interests of this Institution.
His visit at this time was owing to a special invi-
taton extended to him by the pastors of the Brick
Church to occupy their pulpit on the I'd Sabbath
of February, with view to favorable introduc
ton of the claims of the Seminary to the attention
of the people of that congregation. We are pleased
TO state that he met most cordial reception, and
as the immediate result of his efforts in that con-
gregation and among other friends of the Semina-
ry in New York, has secured about 700 for the
Seminary, one half for the Library fund and one
half for Scholarship.
The entire results of the work in which DR..
Smith has been occasionally engaged for nearly
three years, present encouraging evidences that
the Institution will soon be placed on such foot
ing that it will offer to young men every desirable
facility for the fullest and most favorable prosecu
ton of Theological studies. Let parents and pas
tors be diligent in prayer and instruction to our
youth, and we may reasonably expect soon to see
larger numbers of young men pursuing their stu
dies in our Seminary. We have only to trust
in the Lord and do good and this beloved Insti-
tuition will soon be greater power than ever for
good to our Church and the world
