meet in Memphis Wednesday, May 4, 1870,

church, Cumberland Presbyterian that
house, which has been kindly and courte-
ously offered for the purpose, being quite
commodious, and at the same time being,
on account of its central location, the
most accessible and convenient of the city
churches ..
Anthony Ross, Z W Blew, W Little
john, T d Eldridge, S Watson and w @
johnson were appointed a committee to
inform the Rev DIR Ransom, pastor of the
Court Street church, Of the unanimous and
grateful acceptance of his church as tend
cred; and to provide ample and suitable

siness, and the comfort of delegates during
the daily sessions.

from their lodgings, K. W. Haynes was
deputed to express thanks to the Company,
and Ben. X. Pullen and ID. F. Goodyear

The Committee Of Reception have, in

pointed sub committees to take outgoing

all reasonable anticipation, and to the best
examples of the past.

REVIVAL AT HENDERSON.
The Rev. W. A. Harrison, pastor of the
Presbyterian Church, Henderson, Ky,
thus sums up the result of the remarkable
out-pouring Of the Holy Spirit in that COM
munity:
We have Just closed ''Union protracted
meeting" during which God visited us
with a gracious OutpOuring OF His Holy
Spirit. There were about one hundred
and fifty additions to the various churches.
OF this number fifty united with the Pres
byterian Church. There is a good deal Of
religious interest still in our churches, and
we hope that walking in the fear of God,
and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost,
they will be greatly multiplied
