to Congressman Morrow for Governor in
the State Convention at Sacramento. 1t is

The organization of a United Presbyter-

gust. A canvas shows that there are about
fifty of the denomination in the city, OF
whom at least forty are expected to Join in
the organization. There is perfect satisfac-
ton with Rev j. C. Hanna, who has been
preaching for the past six weeks, and he
will undoubtedly be chosen pastor.

leave the pastorate of the Pilgrim COngre-

Oakland Is cireumscrOed by geographical
considerations, and that at Sacramento he
