RETURN OF PASTORS.
NEARLY ALL OF THEM BACK FROM
THEIR SUMMER VACATIONS.
After Brief Rests They VIII Resume Their
Work with Renewed Strength
and Yigor.

The hot days Of July and August found
Richmond in measure deserted. PERSONS
OF all classes who could spare the tiine
sought relief from the noisy hum OF the
city with her heated pavements and dusty
streets. Those who were able found piee-
sure in the mountains. at the springs ana
by the seashore; and their less fortunate
neighbors enjoyed visit to relatives IN
the country.
Conspicuous among those whose an
sence from the city was particularly Iei,
were the preachers, most of whom enJoyeu
brief seasons of rest which their congre-
cations were thoughtful enough TO vote
them. Some exchanged pulpits with tnelr
brother clergvmen of other cities, while
the majority laid aside all cares ano Joln,1
ed their families or assisted In protracted
meetings. But the 1st of September mas
brought many back with renewed strength
and vigor, and tomorrow their congreSa-
tions will behold them again III ther
pulpits.
