gregation of the Presbyterian church

III securing money, and writes that
when he returns, which will be in a
short time, he will have sufficient
funds, he hopes, to Justify the congre-

the building of the church. The
church, we learn, will be an elegant
building, both as to its exterior and
It's interior.
