EDITOR CITIZEN Rev. W. W.
Kimbro is justly entitled to the
name of the famous deer killer of
Wayne County No one has yet
been. found that could go into the
woods and kill as many deer as he
can. Hierarchy ever goes without
killing two or three, and I think has
been known to kill as many as four
in one day. He keeps a dog that
always goes with him, and has him
trained so that he will stop when
ever he discovers a deer, and wait
till the gun fires, and then he will
Immediately start on the trail and
never stop until he comes up with
the deer. During the late snow he
killed no less than eight, and was
not ont near all the time, and but a
short distance from his home. He
hunts through the week and preach
es to large congregations on Sun
day, and is known to be the great
est revfvalisf in this part of the
country, and is almost as great a
terror to the sinners as tosthe deer.

For THE CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN.
REV. JOHN PINKERTON.
Paper adopted By the Pres5ytery Of Lering
tom, October, 1871.

Paper adopted By the Presbytery Of Lering-
ton, October, 1871.
The Committee appointed to prepare
memorial notice of Rev. John Pinkerton re-
port. When the loved and the good pass
away, it is surely right for the friends who
survive to preserve memorial of their work,
that they being dead may still speak to us,
and that their works may the more efectual-
ly follow them; and for this purpose we put
on record these words, in commemoration of
our brother, John Pinkerton.
He was born in the State of Pennsylvania,
in the year 1911, and was a graduate at
Nassau Hall, 1843, and afterward of the
Theological Seminary of Princeton. He
was licensed to preach the gospel by Green
brier Presbytery, about the year 1850, was
afterwards transferred to this Presbytery,
was invited to Messy Greek church, where
after due trial, he was ordained and installed
pastor. He served this church faithfully
and acceptably until his work on earth was
done, after a pastorate Of nineteen years.
He was remarkably diligent pastor.
Plain, faithful, fearless, sincere, free from
ambition, and despising ostentation, he was
a shepherd trusted and loved by all the peo.
pie, but especially was he the pastor of the
poor. Wasting little time on the fashionable
courtesies of life, or in luxurious ease, with
diligent self denial she endured hardness as
a good soldier of the cross.
His preaching was earnest, able, instruc-
tive, and his sermons contained SO much Of
solid thought and scripture truth, that they
were always good, and sometimes powerful.
In true modesty, and with honest aversion
to all vain show, he cared little for the graces
of style. He studied truth, not display
Holding forth the cross, and hiding behind
it, he would know nothing among his people
and the churches, but Christ and him cruci-
fed.
Our God accepted and blessed his labors.
He was as man and minister eminently
trusted and beloved by his brethren of the
PFesbytery, and by tho churches wherever
known, while his own people gathered around
him as father, and wept at his grave, as
the grave Of brother.

A Serious Subject.


Never laugh at religion. Never make a
lest of sacred things. Never mock those
who are serious and in earnest about their
souls. The time may come when you will
count those happy whom you laughed at-a
time when your laughter will be turned into
sorrow, and your mockery into heavines8.
Whatever you please to laugh at, don't laugh
at religion.
Contempt of holy things is the high road
to in6delity. Once let man begin to make
jest and joke of any part of Christianity,
and am never surprised to hear that he
has turned out downright believer.
Have you really made up your mind to
to this? Have you fairly looked into the
gulf which is before you, if you persist in
despi8ing religion? Call to mind the words
of David: "The fool hath saidin his heart,
There is no God" The fool, and none but
the fool! He has said it, but he has never
proved it! Remember, if ever there was a
book which has been proved true from begin
ming to end, by every kind of evidence, that
book is the Bible. 1t has de6ed the attacks
of all enemies and fault finders. "The word
of the Lord is indeed tried" 1t has been
tried in every way, and the more evidently
has it been shown to be the very handiwork
of God himself
Matthew Henry tells story of great
statesman in Queen Elizabeths time, who
retired from public life in his latter days and
gave himself up to serious thought. His
former gay companions came to visit him.
and told him he was becoming melancholy
"No, he replied, 81 am serious for all are
serious round about me. God is serious in
observing US, Christ is serious in interceding
for us, the Spirit is serious in striving with
US, the truths of God are serious, our spirit.
uaI enemies are serious in their endeavors to
ruin US, and why then should not you and ]
be serious too?" Don't laugh at religion

The Cup of Water.

A poor Arab found spring of sweet,
fresh water, which to him was so delicious
that he filed leathern bottle with it to
carry to his ruler.
After his long journey, he laid it at the
Califs feet, who received it very graciously,
drank of it from his golden cup, and after
thanking the poor man, ordered him choice
reward. He forbid, however, cOurtier
from tasting the water, as all were eager to
do. When the poor man had gone rejoicing
on his way, he said to them
"The long journey had spoiled the water,
and knew, if you had tasted it, you would
have expressed your disgust. But it was an
offering of love, and would not allow the
heart of the poor man to be wounded" }"
Just so our king and loving Saviour takes
our humble gifts when they are profered in
love. 1t may be no more than cup of
water, but if it is the offering of hnmble,
affectionate heart, it will in no wise lose its
reward.
Do you ask how you may bring your lit
tie gifts to Jesus? By giving them to His
poor disciple. He will surely regard them
just the same as if given to Him. Is not
your mother more pleased with kindness
shown to you, and presents made you, than
she is with gifts for herself? Oh! Jesus is
more tender than mother toward His poor
suffering children. Don't forget this way of
showing your love for Him. You need not
be at loss for some field of labor. "The
poor ye have always with you" There can
hardly be spot so favored that there is no
poor Christian whom it would be charity
to visit and help. We need not limit our
kindness to the poor children of God alone,
for He bids US edo good to all men as We
have opportunity but adds, especially
unto them that are of the household Of faith. :"
We should especially love to do good to
Christ's poor.-Pres6yterian.
