We are led to believe that our Presby-
terrain friends are increasing daily, in
strength and usefulness, through the in.
telligent zeal and well directed work OF
their pastor, Rev. H. X. Walker 1t is
easy OF belief, that his hold upon the com
munity as we'll as upon the flock of God
committed 70 his care, is growing stronger
and stronger and that daily.
So
1T is matter of thank fulless that there
is IN our beautiful little city, among all
the churches, spirit of peace and broth>
erliness, rerely exceeded. There is but
little, If anything Of sectariansm-of
churchism. And 50 it should always be.
In essentials, all churches meet at a com.
mon center The difference is in non.
essentials. And in things not essential,
should never be aught but the spirit of
unity in Christ, Of brotherIy love toward
one another. Any other than such a
brotherly love, destroys the power of the
gospel to save. Men are driven from God.
Men are hardened in sin. Men are con.
firmed in uIbelef.
@e*
AS strong ministry to this oneness of
spirit and work among the churches, we
suggest union prayer meeting each Mons
day night Let it be held, in succession,
at each of the churches, the different pas
tors in them leading.
