reception was given Friday night in the
parlors OF the First Presbyterian church tC
the new pastor of the church, Rev. Samuel
u. Mccormick, and wife. The affair was an
informal one, all the people Of the city having
been invited to attend. No special arrange
ments had been made, as the pastor was to
be simply introduced. The ladies' Of the
church had prepared coffee, ice cream and
light refreshments for the occasion, and these
were served by them during the course of the
evening. The rooms were crowded throughout
the entire evening with the members of the
congregation and many outsiders Many OF
the guests were the most prominent people OF
the city. The time was spent in becoming ac-
quainted with the new pastor and his wife In
social conversation. Both Mr. Mccormick and
his wife created very favorable impression
on the members of his new charge.
Today Mr.. Mccormick will preach morning
and evening. The topic Of the morning SER
mon will be Conditions Of Successful Con-
quest" of the evening sermon, 'Herosm OF
Christ"
On Monday Mr.. Mccormick will be formally
Installed by the presbytery as the pastor OF
the First Presbyterian church. An old friend
Of his, A. ID. Marshall, DID,, will deliver an
address, and program, which will include
special music, has been prepared for the oc-
casion.
Concerning Rev. Mccormick, the Interior
of Chicago prints the following from a Pitts
burg correspondent:
REV. S. b. Mccormick, pastor of the
Central church, Allegheny accepts the call
to the First church, Omaha-a great loss to
Allegheny and a distinct gain for Omaha
Mr. Mccormick came to Central church
something more than four years ago, finding
about $50 members; he has received 437, and
leaves a present membership of about $50,
the Sunday school having meanwhile grown
from an enrolment of 207 to nearly 600, and
all this in downtown church; and its total
annual benevolent gifts to the church at
large have during this period increased from
5000 to 1,400. Mr.. McCormcks genial man.
ner and unassumng ways have won for
him a warm place In the hearts of his min
isterial brethren, and they will part with him
with unfeigned regret. He expects to leave
for his new field early in December.
Omaha has had among us for few weeks
an efficient representative of her seminary
interests, DR.. M. B. Lowrie a professor in

our Second church, and former mayor of
Pittsburg. DIR. Lowrie was not allowed to
go away empty The largest single contri-
button pledged to him for the semnary's
Golfers, as far as known, was $4,000. There
are indications that Pittsburg Presbyterians'
interest in the young seminary will be
shown by further contributions in the future.
