"Our beloved pastor Dr. Moore, and his family
have endeared themselves to our people In won.
derful degree Truly God has not been unmndful
of u.s. Our large place of worship is filled morning
and night with eager, earnest auditors, many OF
whom have not been seen in God house for years
and spirit is being awakened, under the earnest
gospel preaching of Dr. Moore, which, with God $
blessing, will bring forth in due season an album

church are poor, many of them being refugees
from East Tennessee, but they are energetic and
will do all they can to sustain themselves. They
wish to build an humble chapel, but are not able
of themselves Will not our more prosperous
brethren help them to few hundred dollars? Is

general interests OF religion than for the strong
churches to help the weak? If there are any Vir-
gna Presbyterians looking out for new homes,

of news in the far South as follows:
| Rev. D. c. Boggs of Jacksonport Ark, has
been in very poor health since last August; for
more than two months of the time he was confined
to bed. We are glad to hear that he is recover
ing, and has been able to resume his pastoral la
bors in part. He breaches now once every Sab
bath, and there is reason to hope he will soon be
able to do full duty
Rev. VIM. Finn, of Milledgevile, Ca, has re-
ceved call from the Thalia Street church, New
Orleans. We understand that he has signifed his
intention to accept it, so soon as the necessary pre-
liminary steps can be taken.
The removal Of Mr.. Finn will be heavy loss
to the Medgeville church, the Presbytery of
Augusta, and the Synod of Georgia. His vaua
BILE counsels will be sadly missed also in the Board
of Directors of the Columbia Theological Semi.
nary. But if the general interests of our Master
kingdom are to be promoted by his transfer to an.
other field of labor no personal regrets should be
allowed to have feathers weight.
Rev. Evander McNair, of Pine Bluff Ark, has
declined call from the church at Camden Ark.
Camden is one Of the most important points in
Ouachta Presbytery. We have there an excel
lent and conveniently arranged church building,
and congregation which, though small, is com.
posed of pious and intelligent persons It would
be a promising field for an active and efficient
minister.
Rev. 7. L. De veaux has commenced his labors in
the church at Jacksonville, Fla As our readers
are aware, our church building in that place is
unrghteousy withheld from its owners, by frag-
ment of the congregation under the auspices of
the Presbytery of Central Philadelphia The
church assemblies for worship in large hall rented
for the purpose; and now that it enjoys once more.
after being long vacant, the services of u faithful
minister, its prospects are decidedly encouraging

Nicely has been changed from Pocahontas Ark, to
