Fulton Baptist Church. has received a cali
10 prominent church in another State,
and it is just possible that he may accept
IT. Such an action ON the par of Mr.
hening would be a source of great regret
to his congregation, as he has greatly en-
deared himself to them
M Hening refuses TO discuss
the matter further than 10 say that
he has received communication
from church of another State, with a
view TO induce him to become its pastor.

ministers of the State, where he is held
IN high esteem by all who come in con-
