with Mrs Barber were crossing the Kinnic-
kinnic near the residence of the latter, on
foot-bridge. Carelessly keeping close togeth-
er while near the center of the bridge, it
broke letting them into the roaring flood be-

mind, energy and strength, Mrs. B. succeed
ed in getting her gallant ashore before life
was fully extinct.

The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1876-11-01
Narrative.

The state of religion in the Synod Of Vir-
ginia, during the past year, furnishes grounds
of devout thanksgiving to the great Head of
The Church. He has granted unusual pros.
perity to many portions of the field. In
several Presbyteries, special and gracious out
pourings of the Holy Spirit, beyond former
years, are gratefully recorded, resulting in
unusual sccessions to the churches and in In
creased spirituality and devotion in profes-
sing Christians. Even where no such special
manifestations have been enjoyed, the stated
uinistrations have been to greater or less
extent, blest to the ingathering of souls into
the kingdom, growth in the grace of be-
nevolence. in substantial contributions to re-
lgious objects and steadfastness in the great
doctrines of grace set forth in our standards.
Some of the Presbyteres speak in tones Of
gladness and joy of Gods great favor to his
church. In some again, great success has
attended the efforts to supply waste places
with the stated ministrations of the word,
by evangelists, the organization of churches,
the erection, repairing and beautifying Of
church edfices. There is evidence through
out the bounds of the Synod, that the Sab
bath School interest is prosperous, that the
schools arc becoming more and more under
the superintendence and control of two church
officers, end Gods covenant fsithfulness has
been illustrated in the conversion of many
children of the church from these nurseries.
A marked feature during the past year has
been the organization and successful working
of Women's Missionary Associations, greatly
increasing the interest in the great work Of
the worlds evangelization.
Harmony and peace seem to be generally
enjoyed, and 10 many cases purpose of deep
er and more entire conservation to the cause
of the Master is exhibited, and more enlarged
expectations in the future cherished.
From survey of the whole, it would seem
to be our duty and privilege to bless God and
take courage-pray more earnestly and fer
Vently and expect greater things in the fu-
ture, from Him who has done great things
for us and our fathers in the past.

LEAD NE ON.

Send kindly light amid the encirehng gloom,
And lead me on u
The night is dark. and am far from home;
Lead thou me on
Keep thou my feet; do not ask to see
The distant scene one steps enough for me-
was not ever thus, nor prayed that thou
Shouldst lead me on!
l loved to choose and see nay path but now
Lesd-thcu me on
loved days dazzling light and spite of fears
Pride ruled ny will remember not past years!
So long thy power hath blessed me, surely still
Twill lead me on
Through dreary doubt through pain and sorrow TIL
The night is gone,
And with the morn those angel faces smile
Which l have loved long since, and lost awhile.

that il seems none in comparison with tn'
work; sometimes ready to give up almost IL
despair of ever being able to accomplish an
result at all commensurate to our duty an(
the demands of the field. In these trying
times it is a struggle to hold the points VI
have which in some cases we are not DOING
and we can make no effort to push our ope
rasions into the regions beyond and make
conquests of new points," By some changes
of fields this Presbytery has pushed its
ovangelistic operations up into Webster and
Braxton counties reported vacant last year.
To give more accurate idea Of the work OF
this field we quote from the report of the
evangelist to the Presbytery'S committee as
follows, viz: 81 have preached during the
last year at 81 different points in the coun'
ties of Fayette, Raleigh, Nicholas and Web
ster, and at 20 points once a month in spring,
summer and fall; during the winter at liz
regularly, but frequently at 10 or Is others.
| have travelled about !, 800 miles and preach
ed on an average 260 sermons year.
travel about 300 miles in making total
round" This Presbytery has 8 whole coun.
ties vacant containing largely over $4,000
souls.
Lerington.-" Has 2 evangelists, one Ia
boring in Tucker, Harrison and Barbour and
the northern part of Randolph, the other in
southern Randolph and northern Pocahon-
tas." In the latter field recently occupied
it is said that Ga great work is to be done;
our evangelist there hopes to bring about a
better state of things" An interesting fact
in connection with the former field is that at
place in Tucker county they are building
a Presbyterian church, have 5 members and
Is families, hope to organize church as
soon as the building is completed, and have
subscribed 500 to the support of the evange
list, the first money ever paid to minister
of the gospel"
Montgomery.-"Hasno no evangelist; church
es are located at central and commanding
points in the field, and these are served by
pastors or stated supplies who are in some
cases aided by Sustentaton funds but not
Evangelistic funds. Vacant churches are
visited by pastors under Pfesbyterial appoint
ment. Craig, Mercer and Franklin counties
vacant.
Roanoke" Has no evangelist. The sub,
ject of evangelization receives constant and
earnest attention. One congregation entirely
destitute and one partially supplied; vacancies
provided for by appointment Of Presbytery."
Vest Hanover. Has 2 evsngelsts, one
in Albemarle and Nelson, and one in Buck.
ingham, whose labors are supplanted by pas.
tors; each missionary field is assigned to
some convenient minister who is made re-
sponsible for it. Besides all other ministers
are required to spend 2 weeks in preaching
out of their own charges and holding pro-
tracted meetings Of not less than week in
each church and missionary field; has or.
ganized 2 churches;" has 6 vacant churches
and whole counties vacant.
Wsnchester.-" Has l evangelist and is
trying to get another for half time; without
any enlargement of operations has gained
strength in the evangelistic field. Two
churches besides Page county vacant"

SYNODICAL REPORTS.
Third Annual Report of Committee on Evan
gelistlc Labor to the Synod Of Virginia
at Norfolk, October 10th, 1875.

This report covers the seven months be-
tween the 1st September, 1875, and the lst
April, 1876. 1t has not been possible, how
ever, to gather material all of which belongs
to this period; but we think that our failure
in this particular does not materially affect
the correctness of our report.
That Synod may receive information as
far as possible at first hands we submit ex-
tracts, either in words or substance from the
different
PRESBYTERIAL REPORTS.
Abinqdon.-" Has evangelist; prospects
exceedingly bright; our evangelist thinks he
can organize 8 churches in his territory
(Scott, Russell and Tazewell,) in the next
wear. He is received with favor and kind.
ness; has received persons into the church
in 10 months. There are three counties
within our bounds, Wise, Buchanan aud Nc
DowelD on whose soil we know not that a
Presby yterian minister has ever preached the
gospel"
Chesapeake-" Has no evangelist; does
its work through pastors who hold meetings
of weeks duration in vacant fields; some
encouragement but no very great success SC
far"
East Hanover. Has l evangelist; the
field is wide, and if we had the men and the
means to support them we could give em
ployment to half dozen evangelists; report
us as progressive and retarded in our work
only by the want of men and money" Thi:
Presbytery still has % counties, embracing
a population of 160, 900, vacant.

Rsv. W. D Hogs, d. D., asked leave Of
the Moderator to state that, as President of
the Virginia Bible Society, he desired to call
the attention of the Synod to the fact that
it is q standing order that a collection shall
be taken up in all churches in behalf of the
Bible cause, and that it is very desirable that
those who have neglected TO do so should not
fail to take such collections as early as pos
sible, that the canvass Of the State may be
completed and the wants of the destitute
supplied

Throws FASuLY.-A New York letter to
the Chicago Tribune, speaking Of Tilton,
says BY the way, the four children are all
with their father in the old homestead at
last, the two young boys having now re-
turned. He has avoided asking them to
come, and has forbidden their being influ-
enced by any friends Of his. {. I think chill
dren are more their mothers than their ia
ther's," he says, "and did not want them
to come to me till they came voluntarily, or
with Elizabeth's consent" The fact is it
is currently believed here that Mrs. Tilton
herself would gladly return home if she
could. She has no social recognition by
Plymouth Church people, and is compelled
to support herself-a struggle to which she
is quite unequal.
