Dedication of Saline Church. Mo-
Yesterday, the 29th of April, we dedicated to
the worship of God neat little house, seven
miles west of Marshall, built by the Saline con-
gregation. This church was organized about
twelve years ago under order of Presbytery by
Rev j. Woodbridge, now of Mississippi, and
myself, and the name was suggested by him, not
because 1t is IN the county OF that name, but be-
cause 1t signifies purifying and preserving. Its
growth has been slow, but its members con-
stantly watching for this end have at last seen
their wishes gratifed and rejoice now in fin
ished house.
The location of this church is in a choice part
Of Saline county, and Saline is among the rich
est counties of MISSOURI but richness # soil
does not always prove multiplicity Of Pres
byterlans, and not even of Protestants, for
large portion of territory adjoining this church
Is owned nearly entirely by Roman Catholics
