"The Presbyterian the Seriptural
Form of Church Government"

On the first page of this issue will be
found sermon delivered by Rev. En-
NETT w. MacCorkle, the beloved Pastor
of the Presbyterian church in this city,
in support of the claim, that the Presby-
terrain is the Scriptural form of Church
government. 1t is an able review of the
proofs touching this matter, and will be
read with interest by members of all de-
nominations.
In this connection Mr.. MacCorkle
wishes us to say that this sermon was
not preached for purposes of controver-
sy, but for the edifcation of his own
people, and that it is published at their
request.
For those who hold other views in re-
gard to Forms of Government he and his
people have the kindest regards and for
their claims the greatest respect.
With them therefore he has no quar-
rel whatever. but bids them God speed
in the great work they are doing for
Christ.
