were made TO the church. eight of that number
were young ladies of the Florence Synodical Fe-
male College"
| Pleasant Services -.The quarterly communion
was observed in the Pine street church, st Louis,
last Lords Day. on which occasion the names Of

having been received on examination. Ii is pleas
ant to record that, notwithstanding the South
ern' connection of this church, those who seek
membership in it are from all parts of the country.
