And whereas, The present condition of
the work is in a condition so satisfactory

Alabama Synodical College for women
will begin on Sabbath, May the 15th, with
a sermon to be preached by Rev. W. J.
Bryan, of Birmingham. Then they will
continue the exercises till the following
Wednesday. It is probable that this will
be the last commencement held in the
present building, as it is hoped that the
new college building will be "occupied before
this time next year.
Drs. Webb and Railey are engaged in
canvassing for funds, throughout the
Synod of Alabama, to build the new college
building; and when it is completed,

Walnut Ridge: Our church here at

..a.uui muge, ArK., nas lately lost its
pastor, Rev. R. H. Latham, who is now
giving his entire time to the Home Mission
work of Arkansas Presbytery. They
have a comfortable church building and a
manse, both fully paid for; there are no
debts of any character; a mortgage of
several hundred dollars on the manse
was lately paid in full. Very exceptional
and unseasonable weather greeted us
during our meeting, but the results were
most encouraging. Seven members were
received into our church, three children
were hnnM^eH
? ?i v.c sum ui foo.2o was collected
and paid on back salary, $45
raised to place cement sidewalk in front
of church, $37.35 for incidentals and to
have church building insured, and the
sum of $46.65 was given for Presbyterial
Home Mission work. The church has
been paying $600 and a manse for onehalf
of a pastor's time, but they are now
determined to have a man for threefourths
of his time. During the meeting
good pledges were secured, and they are
now prepared to offer $800 and a manse
for three-fourths of a pastor's time. This
is a growing field, and the prospects are
that a good preacher and an active pastor
could soon have a church that would
sustain him for all of his time. The
stated clerk of the session is Mr. J. C.
Riley, who may be addressed for any
additional information. This church has
always paid its pastor in full. I go from
here to Cotter, Ark., to begin a meeting.

of this Presbytery, held at the First
Church, Tampa, on May 11, the pastoral
relation between the Rev. C. O. Groves
and the Orlando Church was dissolved.
Mr. Groves is to preach in Nashville on
the 15th. Any church which may be fortunate
to secure this brother as pastor
will have in him a thoroughly devoted
servant of the Master and a preacher of
more than ordinary ability.
