For THE CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN
Death of Rev. F. z. Bowman.

We in the valley of Virginia have just heard by
telegraph, of the sad event. Our dear brother
has been taken away most unexpectedly. His
many friends here are filed with pain and grief.
He had spent several years among us as pastor OF
the old Augusta church, had visited in our fami
lies and had preached at all the principal points
throughout our Presbytery We thought Of him
as in the prime of life and usefulness, miHistering
with success to his important charge in the distant
city of Memphis. But alas! the fatal fever came
to him as to others, specially exposed to it as he
was through fathlulness in the discharge of public
duties. He died. we understand, on the 9th OF
October, having reached the age of forty years and
few months. In the absence of detailed infor-
nation as to his last moments, we can only testify
to our own sorrow, and that of Mr.. Bowman s
numerous Virginia friends We mourn his early
taking away but our faith recognises the sovereign
authority of Him, who but ''recalls his own.
We know that the Almighty often purposely con-
ceas his hand in order to teach his people to trust
in him. He would have us know that he can do
without the best of us, and he would have US de-
pend more upon the divine efficiency, and less upon
the human instrument
To the afflicted family and relatives We offer our
sincere sympathy. When has faithful God ever
forsaken the dear ones left behind when his faith
full servants are called to rest from their abors?

the cause OF Christ is growing and encouraging,
and calls for devout gratitude; while our numer-
Gus vacant places are greatly suffering if not de-
clining. for want OF ministerial laborers.
