Fourth Presbyterian Church, Rich
mond, Va.-This church. which was organized
last June, (Rev. Peyton II. Hoge, pastor) ends
Its first half year in most prosperous condi-
tlon. AT its communion last Sabbath ten per-
sons were added on certificate and one on ex-
animation. Several others who had expected
to Join both on certificate and examination were
prevented from doing so at this time by provi-
dental circumstances These with the eigh-
teen added at its fall communion, increases the
original membership OF forty-two to seventy
one.
AT the close of its first half-year, all its ex-
lenses had been met, including repairs to the
building, and small balance left in the treas
ury. This was done entirely by its own efforts,
with the exception of about a hundred dollars,
voluntarily contributed during the first quarter
by kind friends in the Second church.
At the late collection it raised about S75 for
the cause of Sust steRtation, of which $3.50 came
from the Sabbath School

willing to work and sacrifice for the Master.

full to overAowing. This was very valuable
materially, but far more so because of the afiec-
tion and kind feeling manifested There have
been several valuable pounds since that time
Leaksville, NJ. C.-The Lord has greatly
blessed the labors of the Rev. c. M. Howard,
evangelist in this place. Between seventy-fve
and one hundred were concerned for their souls
salvation, and of this number about fifty re-
solved to follow Christ Never before do we
remember so gracious an outpouring of Gods
Spirit in this place. The meeting was free from
that excitement which often attends revivals.
Not only were sinners wrought upon. but
| cold and lukewarm Christians were reused from
their lethargy, and have now learned to speak
His praise. We almost seem to breathe dif-
ferent atmosphere so great is the change that
has come over our whole community Mr..
Howard has now gone to Wentworth where he
will conduct series Of meetings for several
weeks May God bless his lsbors to that people.
