ton and Mission schemes says in letter to the
Free Christian Commonwealth:
Son the whole. We have been exceedingly graf
fled and encouraged by our visits to Ebenezer Pres.
bytery. 1t is a soil emnently adapted to true
Presbyterianism. We had been laboring under
the impression that owing to its peculiar position,
the Churches Of the Presbytery could hardly be
expected to sympathize as strongly with the move
ments of the Synod, and with the Southern Syn
DDS, as Presbyteries in other portions Of the State
But we found the people at every point we visited
as thoroughly with the Synod, and as anxious to
make final settlement of our ecclesiastical rela-
tons by alliance with the Southern Syuods, and
thereby shut the door against the strateges and
tampering of radcalism with our Churches and
people, as in any portion of the Synod That
question once settled, it is, our Judgment, impor.
tant that a vigorous effort should be made this
the outside people of the State, by holding pro-
tracted meetings at all accessible points, with Q
view to draw out the outside people to our ordi-
nances, and thereby prepare the way for bold
and vigorous movement next year to restore and
reconstruct our educational interests in the State
and thereby recover the former leading position of
the Presbyterian denomination in the State as the
educator of the people.
"The testimony was uniform at every point we
visited, that however the radical element in the
Churches may in some cases seem to have been
large, yet once the division is made and the radi-
calls set up for themselves, they cannot carry with
them the sympathy and patronage of the outside
public And even where, as in Flemingsburg,
they had the majority and have taken possession
of the church building and the pastor, they
practically shut themselves out Of the field so far
as concerns the public at large Outside of Louis.

Ga.-At congregational meeting held on the LIST
of February, it was unanimously Resolved,
|. That while we recognise the right of Pres.
byterian pastor to consult his happiness by resign
ing his charge, We lament the resolution OF our
pastor to do SO, and acquiesce therein with great
reluctance, hereby testifying our esteem for him.
and our lively sense OF the great value to us and
our children of his long and faithful labors.
q That we hereby formally take leave of him,
and tender to him and his only child, our affec.
tionate, heartfelt, united good wishes and earnest
prayers for the kindest blessings of the great Head
Of the Church to be with him forever; adding,
too, our hope that this change of fields may only
make him more happy and more useful than ever
as preacher Of righteousness.

to make public appeal to them for our greatly
