Elberton: This church, which recently entered its splendid new building, has just passed through a gracious season of refreshing, in a series of meetings conducted by Rev. George F. Robertson, of Charlotte, N. C. Seventeen new members have been added to the roll since the meeting closed, and the church was much helped and strengthened in wisdom, in grace, and in influence in the community. Mr. Robertson easily ranks as one of the foremost evangelists of our Church, in Dreaching power and in personal work, preaching the plain, simple truths of the Scripture with wonderful force and effect. But his friends are anxiOUS that hp shnnlH oottlo ?r. strong pastorate, as they fear the constant strain on his throat in the evangel istlc work may increase an annoying trouble there, while the pastorate work would not subject him to that risk. Having received such a blessing themselves, this church is now gladly lending its pastor, Rev. C. I. Stacy, to the Presbyterians of Macon, for a ten days' Bible Institute, to be conducted by him in the Vineville Church, of that city, where he was for many years general secretary of the Young Mens' Christian Association.

W. A. Nisbet, D. D., of Savannah a former paster of this church and greatly beloved in the community, did the preaching. His sermons were clear, simple and forceful presentations of the teachings of God's Word, emphasizing the doctrines that are fundamental?the awful nature of sin?the wonderful love of God, salvation through the atoning mums 01 a uivme saviour, repentance towards God, faith In the Lord Jesus Christ, and the necessity and Importance of good works. The harvest, under the workings of the blessed Holy Spirit was a rich one, but, I am persuaded, not all yet gathered. To God be all the glory. W. E. D.
