Rebuilding of the st Peter Hospital.
At meeting OF the hospital trustees at st
Peter, the following bids for rebuilding the
north wing we're opened.
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1881-02-02

The considerations which have moved me
to make this representation to you are
these:
l. The town has eighty or one hundred
thousand inhabitants and no Protestant
church
2. Such building would do for church
and school house at the same time. We
are obliged to have school, as the chill
dren are excluded from the public schools
of the Greek community if they attend
our Sabbath School.
3. Our preacher there was driven from
the last house he had because he preached
in it, and brother Phipps obtained the
house he has now only on the condition
that he would not preach in it.
4. The house in which our preacher
lives, breaches, and has the school, is very
far from the bulk of the people to whom
he wishes to preach, and from all the
members of the church
5. The Greeks are very much preiu-
diced against preaching in private house
This, with the last mentioned fact, re-
duces our audiences to from twenty to
thirty per Sabbath, while am confident
that In more central position and in a
public building, we would have, from
fifty to one hundred at least.
6. Brother Phipps has now entered
this field with hearty good will, and it
does seem to be the duty of the Church to
remove, so far as possible, the difficulties
of which have spoken.
Can not you place some of these facts,
in your own way, before my friends &C
quaintances, and Christ friends, of whom
so large number read your valuable
paper, and do for this little company of
struggling Christians, what you have
done for so many at home?
Let this be over and above what the
Committee are entitled too.
Stir my good friend and instructor, DIR.
Witherspoon, on this matter.
Yours, etc., T. R. SAMPSON.

Letter from Athens, Greece

We cannot in any way so well subserve the
purpose for which the following interesting let
ter was written as by the insertion Of 1t in our
celumns.-EDs. @. PRES
ATHENS, Dec. 9th, 1880.
MeSsrs. Edjtors,-I have noticed with
great qualification the earnest appeals
which you have made in behalf of some
Of the weaker churches at home, and the
generous response with which these ap-
peals have been met. / hope it will not
be thought improper for me to ask you to
say few words in behalf of the little
church at Thessalonica The few breth-
rem there have made generous contri-
button themselves, and while in England
last year received some three hundred
dollars more for them, but they still lack
twelve or fifteen hundred dollars to pur-
chase lot and put up suitable edffce.

Winchester Presbytery.-Ap pro re nata
meeting of Winchester Presbytery was held at
the Hancock (Md.) church, January 9th, at
P. M, for the purpose of 'dissolving the pas
toral relation of that church and Rev. E. HI.
Cumpston.
The sermon was preacned by Rev. F. NJ
Woods at the request of the Moderator, Rev. ].
A. Armstrong.
Mr.. Cumpston was granted his request and
the Rev. W. G. Campbell was appointed to de-
clare the pulpit vacant
Mr.. Cumpston goes to take charge of the
Vienna and Townsville churches near Alexan-
dria, Washington Presbytery.
Resolutions of regret for the dissolution, and
of esteem for Mr. Cumpston, both as a minister
and gentleman, were offered by the congrega-
tlon' and also expressions of regret by the mem
bers of Presbytery for this dissolution which
would take the brother from them.
He carries with him to his new field, the love
and esteem of his people, and the good wishes
of the Presbytery, that his relation with his new
brethren may be as pleasant as IT has been with
the old. w &C
Harper Ferry, w. va.-Our little church
has just been blessed with a genuine revival.
A revival, we trust by Gods spirit, which has
done us all good. The services continued for
nine days, the pastor being assisted by the Rev.
K. IL. Fleming, of Woodstock and Rev. w. w.
Downey, of Martinsburg. At our communion
on the intervening Sabbath seven persons were
received upon examination.
Now for the first time in many years we have
some young men in our membership. The gen.
eral interest remained unabated to the last. The
fact that our membership, our congregation, and
our Sabbath School, are all increasing cheers
our hearts. The reason why the church grows,
we think is, because everybody in 1t works.

Pure Drinking Water.

Pure Drinking Water.
1t has been subject of much study by
the scientiiic-medcal world for u number
of years as to the cause Of typhoid fever and
other inilammatory diseases OF the bowels,
and the conclusion almost unanimously ar
rived at recently Is that large portion of
these diseases result from the use of foul or
impure drinking water.
The Kennesaw Manufg Co., of Memphis,
Tennessee, have invented q pump or water
elevator, which, while il gives full and
steady flow from well one hundred feet
de p as easily as from y cistern ten feet,
agitates and purifles the water in such a
manner as to free II from all Of the noxious
ingredients contained in stagnant water,
and render II as pure as running stream,
thereby destroying all germs of disease, and
also freeing ii from all insects.
Sydney Smith Il Co.. of Dallas, Texas are
state agents for these pumps and have
them for sale at their Sample Rooms, No,
72S Elm street, Dallas, Texas, where they
can be seen on exhibition, and parties ii,
