The Presbyterians.

The readers of the APPEAL are, per-
haps, not generally acquainted with the
fact that there is a movement on foot to
organize a Colored Presbyterian church
in the city of Chicago.
About two years ago the Presby-
terians formed society among them
selves, and invited Rev, J. Il. Riley, of
Louisville, KY, to visit them and give
some instructions as to how to proceed,
That gentleman came as desired; but
receiving a call a few weeks afterwards
to the pastorate of the Fifteenth street
Presbyterian church in Washington, D.
c.. he accepted.
No further steps were taken at that
time towards organization. but neither
| the idea nor the hope of baving Pres
| byterian church here was suffered to
| die.
Early last fall the present society was
formed, and correspondence was en-
tered upon with a man to come to Chi
cage and organize a church. As n re-
suit of that correspondence, Mr.. Moses
], H. jackson, a graduate of the Lincoln
University, both collegiate and theolo.
gieal, and licentiate of the Presbytery
of Baltimore, came to them early in this
month. Since Mr. Jackson has been il

claim of the Colored Presbyterians tx
