MARTINS FERRY.

A much larger crowd than usual was
assembled In the Presbyterian Church
when the time for the opening services
arrived yesterday morning to hear the
farewell sermon Of the retiring pastor,
Rev. Ii. n. Campbell. After an anthem
was sung by the choir and the custo-
mary hymn and prayer were had, Mr.
Campbell read the names OF seven per-
sons who were to be received into full
membership. He said that although
the day on which ne was
to sever his connection with
his church must necessarily be filled
with many tender feelings OF regret,
vet il was not so bad 10 have last day
when il was accompanied with such an
array OF devoted followers who had
determined TO consecrate themselves to
the teachings of the gospel. After the
seven candidates were taken into full
membership, four of whom received the
holy rights Of baptism. The text
was announced from Psalms, 40,
aud 5; "And Thy Thoughts
which are to us-ward." His sermon
spoke of the many blessings which we
are receiving each day, but which most
of us are not mindful of. After the
sermon he gave a brief ecapitulation
of his five years pastorate in Martins
Ferry and concluded by thanking the
congregation and choir for their kind
ness and many iavors which he had re-
ceiyed.
