VIRGINIA.
Richmond: The First church has

Carson of Memphis, Tenn. He is now
assistant pastor to Rev. Dr. A. B.
Curry.
Overbrook Church: Rev. F. D.
Thomas of Brunswick, Ga., preached
at this church last Sunday.
Fredericksburg: Rev. R. C. Oil
more. who has been pastor of this
church for twelve years, has been
called to the church at Sanford, N.
C., and has announced his acceptance
of the call.
Newport News: The pulpit of the
First church has been supplied dur
ing the vacation of the pastor, Dr. E.
T. Wellford, by the Rev. Yosip Benya
min of Persia, the Rev. Ernest Hem
ming, Rev. F. M. Ross of Newport
News and the Rev. George F. Mason
of Mt. Pleasant, Tenn. The evening
service was in charge of the Christian
Endeavor Society, who supplied dif
ferent speakers for each service.
Orange: At this time of the year
parents and young people are per
fecting plans for school and college
days. The session and pastor of the
Orange church call the attention of
parents, whose sons expect to be stu
dents at Woodberry Forest School, to
the fact that they would count it a
privilege to be of any service to par
ents or sons. The school is a few
miles in the country from Orange,
the railway station. Usually a goodly
number of boys from Presbyterian
homes attend this school. While it
is practically impossible for them to
attend services in town because of
distance from town and of sacred
study classes Sunday mornings and
services in the school chapel Sunday
evenings by the school chaplain, the
rector of the Orange Episcopal
church, it would be a pleasure to
serve these young men and their par
ents at any time.
J. A. McQueen, Pastor.
Kcnhrldge: Rev. S. H. Morgan of
Keysville preached for us recently at
old Lunenburg. We have a very small
membership there, and very few from
whom to draw. There were good
crowds at night and they manifested
much Interest. Mr. M?>rgan is a plain
loyal preacher, and ho presents the old
truths in a fresh and attractive man
ner.

Womblo: The pastor of this church,
Rev. John T. Barr, has recently held
a week's meeting at a saw mill camp
ten miles east of town. The congre
gations were good, and there were
three additions to the church on pro
fession of faith. These represent
three families which had heretofore
had no connection with our church.
These mill camps have in them many
intelligent people who are anxious for
the gospel, but they are badly neg
lected. Ministering to them is an im
portant nart of this work.
Oak Grove: We have Just closed
our meeting at this, ono of our mis
sion points. The congregation was
good to begin with and kept increas
ing until the close. Our congregations
were largely composed of young peo
ple. . Several were converted, and
three reunited with the church, ono
with the Presbyterian and two with
the Baptist. The people say we are
the only church that has stood by them
all the time. There are several others
I am sure, will join us later. Every
thing considered, our meeting was a
great success. There were no Chris
tian workers to assist.

Mountain Missionary.

who has been supplying this church
for several weeks, has been called to

ship was greatly revived and encour
aged. Rev. John R. Offleld has re

September 2, services were held in
this church twice earh day. Mr. O.
J. Allison led the singing with tine ef
fect. There was one addition to Pres
byterian church on confession of
faith. The unique feature of these
services was that the night services
were conducted by laymen from other
churches, the pastor preaching at the
day services.
KENTUCKY.
Harrodaburff: Dr. E. J. Bulgin and
his party are engaged in a great union
evangelistic campaign in this city at
this time. The services are being
held in' a large tobacco warehouse and
are attracting great throngs of peo
ple. The congregations are averag
ing some twenty-five hundred or threo
thousand people each night. Dr. Bui
gin is a Presbyterian, and one of the
foremost evangelists in America. The
United Presbyterian Church, under
tho leadership of its pastor, Rov. S.
S. Daugherty, is taking a prominent
part in this campaign.
Revier, Nelson and Mt. Ziou
Churches, though small home mission
churches in tho coal mining region of
western Kentucky, recently pledged
over $1,300 in tho United Education
Campaign for Ono Million Plus. This
amount may seem small, but from the
view point of the writer, who for
merly served these churches and
knowB what their condition used to
be, this is a most excellent showing.
Central City: Work on the aew
church is progressing satisfactorily,
and the basement may be ready for
use in five or six weeks. Rev. D. S.
Hotchkiss and wife have returned to
their home in Greensboro, Alabama,
after a visit here. Mrs. Hotchkiss is
pleasantly remembered here as Miss
Martha Smith, a daughter of the clerk
of the session, Mr. George R. Smith.
MISSOURI.
Springfield: I have given up my
work as evangelist of Lafayette Pres
bytery and am taking charge of the
Tabernacle church in Springfield. I
came on the work here one month
ago and in this month the resident
membership of the church has in
creased ten per cent; the congrega
tion has decided to finish their new
building at once (when the building
is finished the Southern Presbyterians
will have a property in Springfield
worth approximately $60,000). Ours
is the only Southern Presbyterian
church in the city, and the work is
opening up very encouragingly.

a center of life and Interest for the
Presbyterian boys, and a special Sufi
day school class will be maintained
for them. Pastor* and parent! of beys
can help us do this by sending names
of boys from their congregations and
homes, mentioning any talent they
may possess, musical or otherwise.

had sixteen days of faithrul preaching
