Says a Washington special Of Au-
gust 18th, to the Abbeville Press and
Banner: It Is learned that overtures
were recently made to the Rev. Oliver
Johnson, of Leslie, S. c., by the West
minister church, Of this city, with a
view to calling him to its pastorate,
which is now vacant. This Is the Sec
ond time within the last year that a
Washington church has sought Mr..
Johnson, both churches being men,
bers Of the Northern General Assem-
bly,. The Westminster church Is the
Oldest Of the Presbyterian faith In
southwest Washington, having been
organized in 1873. The present church
edifice was built within the last two
years, and is one Of the neatest Of It's
size in the city, the main auditorium
having seating capacity Of 400.
Mr.. johnson would be a strong addi-
ton to the pulpits Of any city, but he
seems to be a hard man to tempt from
his Seceder mooring.
