suspenston OF Mr.. Camnbe,,.

Considerable i'll feeling has been
aroused at Georgetown, the home of
Rev. j. R. Campbell, over the action
of the New Castle Presbytery in caus-
ing his suspension. A writer in the
Every Evening" from Georgetown
says:
There is strong inclination
among the citizens here to have Mr..
Campbell preach in the court house
as an Independent organiza ion: No
minister who has been here for years
has been held in such high esteem
for his christian and moral life and
for his untiring efforts for the success
of his church as Mr.. Campbell. The
Presbyterian church here will, as a
consequence of the action of the pres
bytery, be vacant at least until the
synod meets and if the decision of
the presbytery is affirmed the church
may not be opened for years, as some
leading members declare they will
not attend.''
