Lynnville Tenn, Sept 30.-Rev.
James NJ. Brown, who has been pastor
of the Bear Creek Cumberland Presy-
terrain church for nearly thirty years,
yesterday rendered his resignation.
AS yet no action has been taken in the
matter. Rev. Mr. Brown offered his
resignation several months ago, but
his members who are deeply attached
to him, refused to accept it. This
popular divine is nearly 70 years of
age, and few ministers can compare
with him in the love and esteem in
which he is held by his congregation
and church.

suited in 80 professions 81 additions
to the church, and a great revival of
the spirit in the church.
