come were made by number of the lead
ing members of the Church and respond
ed to by the new pastor in his happiest
style. Sunday morning the Church was
crowded to its utmost capacity with o
congregation eager to encourage him in
his new field Of labor. His sermon was
able, it was compact, it was eloquent, and
moved the hearts Of his large congrega-
ton. It was full of ideas and full of the
very pith of the Gospel. Everybody went
away satisfied, and felt assurance that
Providence had sent man here who was
believed to exercise great influence in
this community. DR.. Strickland is man
of liberal culture, of magnanimity, and
generous spirit and his coming to Shelby
will add to the progress of Christian work
