warm day, twice at Farmville and

Kustburg: A very interesting and
profitable meeting was recently held
in this church, in which Rev. W. C.
Young, of Victoria. Va., did the
preaching. Two services a day were
held for a week and more.
The attendance was good and the
attention excellent. The sermons were
of a high order, being mainly exposi
tory, and showed careful study, thorough
preparation and wide acquaintance
with the word of God. Each one
was a clear, simple, forceful statement
of truth, delivered with spiritual
earnestness and convincing power.
Some of the results are a spiritual uplift
to Christian people and the addition
of three young girls to the membership
of the church on examination.
This church adopted the everymember
canvass and Duplex Envelope
system over two years ago, with the
result that there has been a steady
increase in contributions and a better
financial condition than at any time
in the history of the church. Each
year is better than the last, and there
is enthusiasm among the people over
the Assembly's plan of benevolences.

New Concord: In July we held a
week's meeting in this church, in
which the pastor was assisted by
Ruling Elder W. L. Ray, of Meadville.
Twice a day he gave us earnest,
clear, simple and practical expositions
of the word of God which
were listened to with the closest attention
and were received with much
profit to both saint and sinner. The
introductory part of each evening service
was led by the men of the church,
with a different leader each night, and
consisted mainly in a prayer and song
service. This contributed much to the
devotional spirit, and was an excellent
preparation for the strong pre
sentation of divine truth and cogent
appeals that followed. The meeting
was one of great helpfulness to all, and
three have been added to the church
on examination. It is a great pity we
do not have more men in our eldership
like Bro. Kay, and the active efforts
of such men would greatly aid in
I solving the weak country church probi
lem.

Old Concord: We have just closed
a six-days' meeting in this historic old
church, in which the preaching was
done by Rev. A. N. Perryman, of Key
ser, W. Va. Two services were held
each day, and the word of God was
proclaimed with power and eloquence.
Every sermon was a timely, searching,
convincing holding forth of the word
of life, and the appeal to the understanding,
the conscience and the heart
were irresistible. God's peoplo are
richly blessed in the marked quicking
of their spiritual life, that is now
manifest, and we have welcomed two
young girls into the communion of the
church,

A Message to West. Hanoverians:
Presbytery has set apart the month of
j\ iikum n>r uur i ifsuyiermi iiorac mission
offerings.
After careful consideration of the
whole work, the Committee of Home
Missions, at its last meeting, unanimously
decided to urge all churches,
societies, and Sunday-schools to raise
at least one-half of their apportionments
hy August 31st. The main reasons
for this are: (a) We never go in
debt, (b) About one-half of the
year's obligations fall due before the
August collections are received. (c)
to save us all from u;.due financial
stress and strain in making up these
apportionments at the end of the
church year. (d) Twenty-nine churches
are dependent upon these offerings
for the support of their pastors, not to
mention other phases of the work.
We cannot aid these churches unless
we receive the money.
We believe that all of these reasons
will appeal to your common sense, and
we ask your serious consideration and
prompt action.
Some encouraging facts about our
Presbytery's work are:

with pastors in recent months

recently vacated pastorate remains unsupplied.

2. The support given the work last
year excelled anything in the history
of the Presbytery.
3. We are trying to make this a
banner year in evangelism.
4. Beginning July 1st, a superintendent
of Home Missions and Sabbathschool
work will give his whole time to
pushing these phases of the work.
We lay these facts before you. We
look to you to support the work. You
have never failed us. We are assured
that you will not fail us now. All
funds should be sent to our treasurer,
Mr. R. P. Valentine, Charlottesville,

< umberland: Rev. P. Wooton Osborn,
of Tunstall, Va., has accepted

years Mr. Osborn has been pastor of
the historic Samuel I)'avies church, in
East Hanover Presbytery, where he
has done a line work. The membership
of this church which Mr. Osborn
is leaving, situated in the country, has
trrown under his ininistrv until it has
almost reached the 360 mark.
