Rev. Dr. Robert Christie, pastor of the
Second Presbyterian Caurch OF this citv,
has received a call to church in Lonis-
vile. 1t is to be hoped that Dr. Christie

accomplish, and the church and city can
not afford to lose his services.

The 81, Joseph Hospital, home for the
unfortunate, was established in this city in
1874 under the control OF the Sisters of
Nazareth. The name it bears would lead
many persons to believe that it is secta-
rian institutions; but such is not the case,
Protestants as well as Catholics sharing
alike its benefits. During the year 1873, of
the one hundred and forty persons admit
ted to the Hospital only twenty-six died.
Thus far in the present year the white and
colored patients have been about equally
divided. Every care and attention is shown
the unfortunate persons by kind and patient
nurses, who are constant in their attend
ance upon the sick and afflicted. Those
persons who are in charge of the Hospital
are doing an inestimable amount of 2 cd
and accomplishing blessed work. Their
hands should be upheld and encourage
ment extended to them by every Christian
man and woman in the community.
