that the constitution gave me the right to preach,

vile, and the Stated Clerk was appointed to meet
the Rev. j. A. Walker, of the Central Presbytery,
on Sabbath, the 23d of April and organize church
at Calvert, which duty was performed. Our two
candidates were reported, pursuing their studies

the Parent Committee to supply them with funds,
and special collection was urged upon all our
Churches for their relief.
The Rev. S. NJ. Luckett, from the Presbytery
of Paducah and the Rev. Simon Frazer NJ. D.,
from the Presdytery of st. John, Canada presented
letters of dismission and were enrolled after the

in his administration and the friends of the insti-
tuition are sanguine of its permanent success.
Nearly all our churches are engaged in the Sab.

have contributed to Sustentation, Education and
Publication and eight to Foreign Missions; whilst
the general amounts for these objects have been
small, for the most Of our churches are struggling
to support Misunderstanding no aid from the
Sustentaton Committee, yet the aggregate for all
Church purposes is some sixteen thousand dollars,
which is an increase of over one third on last year.
During the year there have been several revivals
and large and more general increase of members
than on previous years.
All the unemployed time of our ministers was
authorized to be used in Evangelical Labor in our
vacant fields.

Covington Tenn.-The Presbyterian Church has
enjoyed very precious time of refreshing from the
presence of the Lord. We had been looking for
ward to our spring communion with prayerful in
terest. Young brother Ingram of Stanton, was
with US the first six days. Inopening the services,
he said with great solemnity. Somebody has
been praying" The weather was exceedingly I'M
favorable, raining almost every day for ten days /;
but the interest continually increased. The hrst
week we had prayer meetings and inquiry meetings
every morning at 10! A. NJ. and preaching at
night. A wonderful spirit of prayer was enjoyed
by the members of the Church. Also every men,
Der appeared ready, waiting, and matching for
something to do for Christs cause. So it was with
both the old and the young Christian.
Intense interest, yet perfect order and great
solemnty, prevailed. Several ministers assisted at
different tines, to whom we are greatly indebted.
So far as We have ascertained, between thrty.four
and thirty-eight have obtained hope that God,
for Christi sake, has forgiven their SINS The
good work commenced in the Sabbath School, ex-
tended to the Female Seminary, and then to the
Male High School. The citizens of the town. and
persons living about the mountain, came and were
blessed.
This little Church has, by God S grace, the past
year, been doing more and giving more-much
more than in any former year, and now has been
blessed more than ever before. The blessed inhu-
ence continues, and we expect others, through
grace, to repent and believe and be saved
To Gods name be all the prase.

to the Presbytery foE his services as pastor
Mr.. Mccoy was invited by the church OF Clbolo
to preach part of the time as stated supply for
the ensuing year.
The Presbytery approved the action of Synod in
promising 500 to aid the Theological Seminary at
Columbia, S. Carolina, and assessed the churches
to raise her proportionate part.
Rev. j. NJ. Connolly and elder James Smith

Rev. j. NJ. Wilson, the evangelist of this Pres,

In connection with this Presbytery there are
twenty-six churches; and twelve ministers, two of
whom are laid sside-by the infrmities OF age
There are ten or twelve vacant churches. What
is to be done? Shall they be given up to perish?
From every part Of this vast field we hear the
Macedonian Cry" Come over and help us"
Whom shall we send And who will go for US
These churches are very small and members gen.
orally poor, and hence unable to do much in the
support of a minister But if they, were, supplied
with preaching and aided for a few years they
would we think become self sustaining.
Are there not young men now entering the min
istry in the older States, strong vigorous and able
to endure the hardships and labor of this vast
field whose duty it is to deny themselves, take up
the cross and come over and occupy?

For THE CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN.
An Interesting Service.

Dear Brother Brown, has been great
day at linking Spring. | left hoae early in the
morning in order TO attend the ordination and in
stallation of Rev. G. B. Stricken over that church.
The sky clear, and the appearance of the coun-
try most beautiful. On arriving l found a large
congregation assembled. General interest in what
was about to take place was manifest A quorum
of Presbytery had completed the preliminary ex-
aminations the day before, and the candidate had
preached his ordination sermon. At the hour of
II, Rev. j. W. Pratt, Moderator called the Pres
terry to order. The services proceeded with deep
ening interest. Mr. Pratt preached the sermon
from John /: 9, "That was the true light, which
lighteth every man that cometh into the world F"
The gospel was made to appear glorious indeed
The charge to the pastor was delivered by Rev. w.
E. Baker and that to the people by Rev. H. H.
Halves.
Appearances about the congregation were most
suspicious. There was an evident heartiness in
the reception, and hand-shaking, given by the
people to their new pastor. The spiritual atmos.
phere Of the place was good. We expect to hear
of blessed results from the relation that has thus
been formed.
The latest tidings from Williamsville is that fifty
eight persons in all, have been received into the
church. This will appear truly wonderful, when
we consider the small size of that community, and
the fact that they report but twenty. five members
in the last Minutes"
These missionary fields sometimes furnish greater
encouragement than those which are abundanty
supplied with the means of grace.
Yours, w. Il. B.
