MORE MINISTERIAL ONLY TWO
FAITHFUL IN CHATTANOOGA.
Knoxville Tribune September 18th:
Among those who have remained in
Chattanooga, underth impulse Of Chris
tian duty, to DO what they might for the
comfort Of the sick and the dying, are
two gentlemen we'll and fayorsbIy known
in this city. We refer to the Rev ] W
Bacbman, pastor Of the First Presbyte.
risp church, and Rev r Parker, pastor
Of the n E church, South. We are To-
formed that these are the only Protest
ant ministers that have remained 10 that
city since the yellow fever was admitted
to have fastened upon the city. The
presence Of these two gentlemen was
calculated to comfort the sick ana dying.
10 encourage and strengthen other &C.
tive worhers 10 their noble deeds Of nurs-
ing the sick and relieving the needy, and
was also gratifying to absent friends
giving ASSURANCES to them that their
friends and Deighbors would be carefully
looked after. and have religious as we'll
as medical and physical attention. By
private letter received last night, we
have the painful iolormation that both of
these faithful ministers Of Christ are
down with the lever. II iS hardly ne
csssary for us to suggest to our people
that prayer should be offered TO God 10
spare such useful lives"
