Rev. R. V. Hunter, of the Seventh Presbyter-

church building he would remain with them as
their pastor This they have done, and the
pledge holds good. So that unless the presbytery
or the church itself intervene, Mr.. Hunter will
be likely to remain with the church which has
been so greatly prospered under his care Mr..
Hunters removal from Indianapolis would be a
distinct loss to the city. and it is a matter for
congratulation that he will undoubtedly remain.
