VIRGINIA.
Sinking Spring Church, Abingdon:
Rev. William Crowe took charge 01 the
Sinking Spring Presbyterian church at
inis piace octocer l, iyus, and neid His
first communion service on last Sunday.
Since he came to the church there have
been seventeen persons received, loading
a total membership of three hundred
and thirty-eight, though there has been
no protracted service of any sort,?some
two or three joining the church almost
every Sabbath for the last six weeks.
The communion was the largest ever
* seen in the church, except during a
me'eting of Synod. Congregations are
large, both morning and evening, as well
as the prayer meetings. Mr. Crowe has
given entire satisfaction to every member
of his church and congregation, and
his wife and family are equally popular.
When the writer, as one of its commissioners,
was prosecuting the call of this
church before the Presbytery of Louisville,
he stated he knew many of the
preachers of the Southern Presbyterian
nkuroK ,, <1 .1 * V?>vt m J X ? ! J . - ?.11 ? *

as a body, he had a very high regard,
and that while he did not regard Mr.
Crowe as the best preacher he ever
heard, he believed that he would suit
the needs of this church better than any
man he knew. The last portion of the
statement in reference to Mr. Crowe
has proven to be true, but as to the
first, after having heard him for nearly
four months, my judgment is, there is
not a more gifted preacher and pastor
in the Southern Presbyterian church,
and in making this statement I do not
underrate any of the many distinguished
ones I know and have heard. He is indeed
a most remarkable and excellent
preacher, a splendid pastor, and with
all, has a heari full of old-fashioned, genuine
religion. He preaches the Gospel,
and nothing else. We can only hope
that we shall be as satisfactory to him
and his as they have been and are to
us. We now know why we had so much
difficulty in getting the Presbytery of
Louisville to release him. F. B. H.
