Al the last meeting Of the Presbytery
Of Washington, MesSrs. G. L, CrAnmer,
Joseph Lawson and N. A. Chandler
were appointed a committe to en-
quire into the condition and pros.
poets Of the Fourth Presbyterian
Church OF this city. We understand the
committee have prepared their report,
and will submit 1t TO the Presbytery AT
its meeting at Burgettstown tomorrow.
The report sets forth that the roll Of
membership has been reduced by death,
dismissals and removals, to between thir.
~ and forty, Of which number about
twenty-five attend upon or take an active
interest in the affairs OF the church; that
the prayer.meetings and Sabbath school
are regularly held, the latter having an
average attendance Of one hundred and
three; that owing to the poverty and pau
city OF the membership the regular Sab.
bath ordinances have been suspended. In
view OF the fact that the church is To-
Gated in portion otthe city which may
eventually improve in population and
finances, the committee recommend that
there be no formal disorGanization Of the
body, but suggest that il be made Mis-.

control Of the First Presbyterian Church
Of the city Of Wheeling, and that il be
suggested to the membership, 10 tar as
they can see their way clear to do 30, to
unite themselves with the last named
church.

recollections Of Chrisrs death, burial
and resurrection. No pressing business
or care could obliteraie from memory
these precious truths. Thoughts OF this
character would restrain from sin and
oil the soul with peace. In the
