< lasses. At a congregatiouai meeting last
Sunday, it was resolved that the church
purchase the adjoining house and lot on
North Avenue, at a cost of thirteen thousand
dollars, and almost enough was subscribed
on the spot to cover the cost. This
will greatly facilitate the work of the
church.
Darien: At a meeting of the congregation
of the First Church of Darien, held
Sabbath, October 10, Rer. W. S. Milne,
who has supplied the church since last
December was unanimously called to the
pastorate of this church. Since his coming
to Darien as supply, there have been
nine additions to the membershin. and
others are expected in the near future.
Quite a number have written for their
letters and much interest is shown by
those who attend the services, who are
not members. Mr. Milne has done a
splendid work in this town and the church
is steadily growing. The population of
the town being small, and there being
two other denominations here, there is
not much material to build on, and we
feel the more encouraged that we have
done so well.

New Orleans: The various committees
appointed to arrange for the evangelistic

of the services. The meeting will
begin on the evening of October 24, and
during the first week, will be held in the

held in the First Church.
Hungarian Church: In answer to the
appeal for aid, published two weeks ago,
in behalf of the wrecked Hungarian
Church, in New Orleans Presbytery, the
following contributions were received to
date: First Street German Church, $5;
Second German Church. $16; First
Church, $35; Rev. N. Keff Smith, D. D.,
James Island, S. C., $3. Other contributions
were promised. The sum in hand
is not quite sufficient to start the work
of repairs. Fortunately there has been
no wind or rain since the great storm,
but every day increases the danger of
further damage to the church building.
Further contributions are therefore earnestly
requested. Address, Rev. Louis
