The folowli etter from Mr.. Per

Of the prospects .ssion:
The building of g. mouse of worship still lies
heavily upon my hands. You intmated to me, in
one of your letters last winter, that you thought
your COMMITTEE may be able to aid us in building
the church, which encouraged me to commence
building, and have paid out of my own pocket over
four hundred dollars, and the house is still incom
plete; but we have it so that it can be used during
warm weather. 1t will take us some time yet to
complete the house, because | am alone. Our
church members are all poor and not able to help
me much. However, they have helped me some.
This building has put me greatly behind, but the

We had very pleasant communion meeting last
Sabbath. Meeting commenced Saturday. We
felt the presence of God with US, convincing many
of the snfuness Of their hearts and their need of
Saviour. Three united with the church, and
many others are inqaring the way to Zion, and |
do hope before long, they will cast their lots with
US on the Lords side. Our little church now num-
bers about thirtytwo. Pray for US and for our sue
cess [ could use to good advantage, If had them,
lot of Sabbath School books.
1t would be good thing to have small board
ing school here. These people must be educated
before they will make good Christians. And if the
Committee will furnish me good teacher and pay
his or her salary as well mine, think | can ar
range with the General Council of the Nation to
appropriate perhaps sufficient funds to support the
school Of about twenty or twentyfv children
would not be able to give all my time to this work
and preaching too, with the present salary but
could do it with little additional help.
If such thing could be done, l would be glad

Chaplains House at the University of Va
Sometime ago the attention of the friends of the
University called to the propriety of furnishing
the chaplains house with such articles as could re-
main in it permanently. As the Office is occupied
only two years by each incumbent, it is very incon
yenient for them to remove heavy and expensive ar
articles. They not to be subjected to this COST
especially as the remuneration for their services
(all of which is voluntary contribution from Pro-
fessors and students) is at most very small sup
port. In response to our appeal about $50 have
been contributed and expended. A little effort
might soon supply enough for the object aimed at.
1t will give US pleasure to receive and appropriate
any offerings for this purpose

it has been made, in addition to the duties dis
charged by them in the past. to meet semi. annual
ly besides the meetings of Presbytery) or oftener
if thought proper, with the weaker or vacant
churches, and by preaching and the discussion Of
the principles and various interests of the church,
arouse them to greater activity and earnestness in
their. Christian work.
A young man by the name of Darden, member
Of the Clinton church, student of the prosperous
Male Academy at that place, was received under
the care of Presbytery, making now four young
men looking to the church for assistance We
regret to say that Presbytery felt compelled for the
present. on account of the scarcity of funds, to
withdraw its aid from some of the more advanced
of these young men. This is greatly to be deplored ;
but we hope that this interference with their edu-
cational course will not be of long duration.
There was a larger attendance of the eldership
than usual at this meeting, and more general dis
position than heretofore to participate in the dis
cussion of questions before the body and to aid in
carrying on the work in the various departments.
In view of all the surroundings incident to young
and weak Presbyteries, We feel that we ought to
thank God and take courage"

FarmVille Church has made out very cordially
and unanimously, we understand, call tor the
Rev. FL. Fl. Halves, who has been for few years
pastor of Mount Horeb church, in Augusta Co.,
Va. Mr.. H. has indicated his purpose to accept
this call, should it be put into his hands by the
Presbytery of Lexington. AS his desire to seek
another field of labor arises mainly from the Deces'
sity of securing milder climate for the health OF
his family, it is expected that the application
will not be resisted by the congregation. They
are however, greatly attached to their pastor, who
has on his part been devoted to their interests and
whose ministry God has greatly blessed. Such
separations are attended with much pain, but ii
made in the fear of God, they may be expected,
in ways prepared by His holy providence, to be SO
ordered that the Church will not be harmed but
the grace of God and the welfare Of Zion pro
NOTED thereby.
