Crockett Texas-Rev S. F, Tenney writes to
the South Western Presbyterian;
Your readers will be gIad TO learn that another
Presbyterian minister has cone to this land whe
preachers are much needed. Rev. w. W. Brimm,
late of West Point, Georgia, having heard the
loud call from Texas, aud having something of the
missionary spirit, came with his family into Texas
about ten days ago. He is young and robust, and
is, trust aso strong in faith and prepared to Ell
dure hardness as good soldier Of the Lord Jesus
Christ. He has engaged to supply the churcl es
of Tyler and Canton, IN Smith county. Tyler is
beautiful and furnishing town on the Great
Northern Railroad. Our church at that place IS
small and has no house of worship, but the coDgre-
CATION are much encouraged since God in his good
providence has sent the brother to them, and are
now manifesting an earnest desire for the Gospel
