DELHI, La, July end, 1873.
Mn EprroR-Dear Sir On Tuesday night,
June the 30 9Th, we had the pleasure Of "a.
tending the concert given by the ladies Of the
Presbyterian church, Of Delhi. Although We
have attended amusemcnts Of all kinds, we
can safely say We have never seen anything
that excellcd the concert given on last Thurs.
day nisth-that is by amateurs. The mnsic
could no, have been better rendered, especially
the accompaniment on the piano. which was
performed by Mrs Mragher, as also the duet
sun. by Misses Reed and Dorsey, entitled,
The Two Cousins which was well rem.
dered. The ,ablcaux, which were gotten up
by Miss Mamie kincaid, were excellent.
especially the Gross and Crow; it was per.
fiction. The angel in this ,abl-au was beau.
ufully represented by Miss Annie Moore.
The A b G. Duet, sung by Miss Georgia
Reed and J. d. Toombs, could not have been
better both as To music aud acting.
Last, but not least, the refre.hmen, room
was admirably presided over 10y Mrs. X. X.

The Charlotte Mission.

At the late meeting Of Synod a committee
was appointed TO see what could be done
about getting new location for the Associate
Reformed church in the city of Charlotte.
The present location has some surroundings
that make 1t undesirable, In the estimation
OF some, for O church. 1t Is on u back street,
and is fronted by a~hest Of ugly, dirty shant-
les, which are occupied by 4 population that
is anything but church-going. This state OF
things Is not likely to change, and therefore
some Of the best friends Of the Mission think
1t necessary: 70 the success of the enterprise to
| seek a new location. When the lot was orig
inally purchased and the chapel built, 1t was
the best that could be done. Now, 1T is thought
q more desirable location, on Main street, can
be had. Only those who are familiar with
city affairs know how important 1t Is to have
a church properly located. Even in thecoun-
try 1t is important to obtain a central location
and one that Is accessible To the community
and pleasantly surrounded, but in q city is
far more important. Country people, as O
rule, 60 to church, while city people, as a rule
do not. At any rate, there is In every city a
large population that do not have any church
connection and that do not 90 to any church
regularly. Such people, when they go, visit
the churches that are most convenient and
accessible. They need the gospel, and they
often contribute to It's support. They should
be encouraged to attend church, by having
the churches placed on the main streets, and
a. convenient points. Again In order to
Induce q certain class OF people IN cities to
everything about the place must be made in
yiting. III vain to say that people arc fool.
ish about such things. and ong6t not TO be
humored. We have to take men as we find
them. Paul said he was willing to "become
all things TO all men, that lie might gain
some." and Paul was u good model. We dG
not hesitate to say that, under God, the sue
cess Of any church enterprise In q city de
ponds in no small degree upon the location Of
the church and the character Of the church
building. These things being 50. the commit
tee appointed by Synod to look after this
matter In Charlotte ought to go promptly I,
work and see what can be done II q new loi
can be obtained n a new church erected, by
done thatcan be done to shove forward the
enterprise in Charlotte. h honor Of the
iSynod 10 involved. We are glad to hear that
the prospects are encouraging. - Associafs
