Pensacola.-The First Presbyterian Church of
this city feeling the necessity increasing it's of
fetal force at congregational meeting held last
Sabbath, elected j. A. Chaffin, A. D. Morrs son and
W. S. Garfield as additional ruling elders and W.
n. Roberts, b. S. Williams and Clyde =. Wilson
and r. p. Reese additional deacons This
church is having healthy growth, and the pastor
Rev. j. s. Sibley is much encouraged
w. b. f. l.. writes to the Lexington Gazette from
Safety Harbor, Florida:
Rev. Mr.. Will<ie whom of you remember
attended the General Assembly in Lexington, is still
preaching at Dunedin, town six miles from this
place. and Dr. Yerger at Clear Water. Both are
very acceptable to the people Rev. Mr. Wells a
Methodist minister, called to see us. This being a
new field, there is more less need for the re-
igious Influences which rarely come to a people
unless introduced by good minister. Such
we hope, to have before many years. A commune
" without the influences and moral restraints of
christianity will soon go to the dogs, and would
not make good food for alligators"

topic of vital interest to young to what

and Found Wanting" The thought that evident
Iy lay heavy the heart of the speaker was the
wide difference between the promise and the full
Gllment of the promise i'm the case many young
men who volunteer in their college days for the
foreign field, but who in the supreme moment
when the time approaches for carrying their
purpose to go a herald of the the heath
en-, fall away from their high resolve and allow
themselves to enter upon work home, work
that has i'm ii far less of the heroic mar
tyr spirit DR.. Graham has right speak in
this matter and his words carry weight for be il
said to his honor i'm his younger days he offered
himself once and again a foreign missionary. but
each time was declined because the physical exam
nation proved unsatisfactory. An explanation why
so many volunteers" never see service is here i'm
the text found wanting in the qualities needed
and unable to stand the test required.
