The Rev. j. +. MacLean, of Beth
any Presbyterian Church Chester, who
has received a call to the Greenhill
Presbyterian Church. has decided to
accept the call.
The Greenhill Church has a congre-
cation which numbers about one hun
dred and fifty members, and until re-
Gently It has been in a most prosperous
condition. but last April the pastor
the Rev. E. w. Long.resigned and went
to another charge. Since that time
the church has been without a regular
pastor with the result that the attend
ance and interest in the church work
has fallen away and Il will take con-
siderable energy before the congrega-
ton is built up again.
During his Chester pastorate. Mr..
MacLean has increased the member
ship Of Bethany Church and built il
ND until now at each of the Sunday
services there is usually q church filled
with interested listeners and worship
pers. and the other branches Of the
church work have increased in a cor
responding manner

birth but has lived the greater portion
of his life in the United States. He
was graduated from the theological
school of Princeton University. and
afterwards he accepted the charge of
the congregation of the Presbyterian
Church at Little Britain. Lancaster
county, Pa, where he remained for ten
years. During his pastorate at that
church in the course OF the ten years
he increased the membership almost
four hundred and was most successful
in all branches Of the church work.
About a year ago he received the cal
from Bethany Church in Chester anC
on Sunday, February H., 1901. he de
livered his first sermon to the mem
bers Of that congregation.
