Ordination and Installation Of Rev.
PIumer BRYAN.

Our correspondent at Beverly, Ran
dolph county, West Virginia, writing on
the 18th inst, gives us full account of
the proceedings of Lexington Presbytery
there, in the ordination of Rev Plumer
Bryan. The venerable DR. VIM Plumer,
who fifty-three years ago was licensed by
Lexington Presbytery to preach, was pre-
sent. Rev DIR G B Stricken, Rev Patter-
son Fletcher, Rev DR. E d Junkin and
Rev W Rosebro were present at Beverly,
as was Rev F J Brooke, Mr. Bryan's assis-
tant. Of the ordination the letter says.
DR. Stricken propounded the questions
to the congregation which were answered
afirmatively by the memters raising the
right hand. Mr. Bryan then knelt in front
of the pulpit and the ministers and elders
gathered around him and laid their hands
upon his head, while his grandfather Of
fered the ordination prayer. When DR.
Plumer closed his prayer many eyes were
moist. The ministers and elders then
welcomed Mr. Bryan into the ministry,
and gave him the right hand of fellowship.
Mr. Bryan was afterwards installed over
the church at Mingo Flats. The sermons
of both occasions were preached by Rev
DR. Plumer, Rev DR. Stricken and Rev
MeSsrs ROSebro and Junkin.
