Presbytery of Abingdon.

The Presbytery of Abingdon met at Galena
church near the Lead Mines, Wythe Co., Va, on
the 10Th of August. The opening sermon was
preached by the Moderator, Rev. R. c. Graham on
Rev. Xxx: II, Is. Present during the session,
eleven ministers and eleven ruling elders.
Rev. j. NJ. Humphreys was chosen Moderator,
and ruling elders d. c. Dunn and j. II. Painter,
Clerks.
Rev. Daniel B. Ewing was dismissed to the
Presbytery of Lexington to undertake the pastoral
charge of Hebron church.
In compliance with the action of the General
Assembly on the subject of ministerial support,
the pastors and stated supplies were enoined to do
what they could to have their salaries raised to
$3.50: and a committee consisting of A. L. Hogs
head, r. Gray and H. NJ. White, was appointed
to visit those churches whose affairs desired it for
the same purpose.
Mr.. J. Calvin Smith was licensed to preach the
gospel, and put under the direction of the Com
mittee of Missions. The following missionary ap-
pointments were made:
j. n. Naf and r. Gray, protracted meeting at
Grab Orchard; w. S. Lacy and r. g. Graham,
ditto at Cripple Creek; W. V. Wilson and Fl. M.

From the Presbyterian and Index.

Mr.. Editor: The gracious dealing of God with
the children of men is always subject of interest
to his people. This is my apology for offering the
following communication.
The Presbyterian church at Greenville, Ala,
under the ministrations of the Rev. R. II. Nall
has been much blessed. Since his coming among
us on the LIST of January last, it has gradually
grown in strength and power, and lately has re.
ceived an outpouring of the Holy Spirit in refresh
ing showers Some two weeks ago, meeting was
commenced by MIR. Nall, assisted by the venerable
DR.. Nall his father, who for many years has been
doing such noble service in the cause of his Master
as an evangelist. The meetings from day to day
were characterised by great earnestness on the
part of both ministers and people, and many were
brought to exclam with the iailer, 'Sirs, what
must do to be saved" Probably no day exhb-
tied greater degree of interest manifested by
sinners than the closing one, there being many
anxious inquirers for the bread of life There was
no excitement; no demonstration made in any
stage of the meeting; but holy quiet and serious
ness seemed to pervade the minds and hearts of
all. After protracting the meeting some ten days.
circumstances made it necessary to bring it to
close, much to the regret OF both the church and
the unconverted
Under the ministry of Mr.. Nall, thirteen adults
have been added to the church, all on profession
OF faith except one, seven OF whom were received
at this meeting. In addition to this, perhaps
no less interesting scene, and one never before wit
messed in this church, was the number of children
presented for baptism on Sabbath morning before
communion. This duty had been deferred by
some parents for reasons known to themselves;
others who had just protested themselves followers
of Christ, brought their households forward with
out delay, and consecrated them to the Lord in
baptism Thus we have been truly blessed and
as the fruits of this meeting not yet gathered,
many sinners have been brought to see their lost
condition, and are still inquiring the way of life.

State Recognition of Christianity.

The Southern Presbyterian of August Goth con-
tains an able editorial article on this subject with
which we are very much gratfed, since it strength
ems the position taken by the Central Presbyterian
The question is one of great Importance and will
one day be brought home to our people for deci-
sion. To give extracts from this able and judicicus
editorial of the Southern Presbyterian would be to
weaken its effect it is therefore reserved entire for
insertion next week. Erroneous opinions on this
subject and as we are persuaded of mischievous
tendency, are gaining ground in that section of the
country which has been the seed. plot where so
many others have sprouted and fourished. There
may be, here and there, among US persons OF ab-
normal proclivities, who will fall in with them
But our persuasion is that this plausible, subtle,
but radical dogma, which large number of fanat'
les, together with some good people, have been try
ing to fasten upon the Constitution of the United
States, will be utterly repudiated in the South.
The Southern Presbyterian has spoken in no
doubtful terms, and, if we are not entirely mis-
taken, it speaks the sentiment of every paper in
our Church.

Funds for the Kentucky Synods Committee
of Missions.

The attention of the Churches in the Synod Of
Kentucky is earnestly invited to the present condi-
ton of the Treasury of the Synod's Committee Of
Missions, after the extraordinary expenditures Of
the spring and summer. Until the present time,
the Committee have been enabled both to fulfil the
unful6lled obligations of the last years Committee,
and to meet the increased obligations of the pres
ent year. But in order to carry on our work Of
Sustentation and meet the obligations now assumed,
and to be assumed before the meeting of Synod,
an immediate supply of funds in the Treasury,
now exhausted, is absolutely Indispensable 1t
will be remembered that the last Synod enjoined
two collections for this object, during the present
ecclesiastical year, ending with the meeting Of
Synod in October next.
The Chairman of the Synods Committee hav-
ing been prevented by sickness from visiting the
churches as extensively as he intended, earnestly
requests that the churches which have not yet
tributed, attend to the matter during the pres
ent month and also that the remainder Of the
amounts pledged by churches visited by him, be
sent forward as speedily as possible, that this
all.important work be not embarrassed, and that
the Committee may report to Synod their ability
to meet all the obligations incurred by them. Will
Ministers and Elders attend to this matter imme
diately? STUART ROBINSON,
