willing to accept his offer, to Rock Hill,
without extra charge, and they were

Won't Leave His People.
Washington correspondence News
and Courier: tt. is. learned that the
Rev. Oliver Johnson. pastor of the As
sociate Reformed Presbyterian church.
at Leslie, S. c., was recently broached
on the subject Of his willingness to ac-
cept the pastorate Of one Of the Wash
ington churches connected with the
Northern general assembly. The
church which contemplated making the
call is in a new and rapidly improving
residence portion Of the city, afford
ing a field altogether desirable for
church work. Mr.. Johnson, however,
did not entertain or encourage the
suggestion Of such call, not caring to
give up his church connection with the
Seceders of the South. Mr.. Johnson
has several times preached in Wash
ington and his hearers were captivated
by the force and simplicity Of his man
ner. He Is evidently man Of scholar
ship and broad mental grasp. The
Psalm singing Presbyterians. the body
to which he belongs, have no organized
church in washington.
