In response to the in vitation of the Church that desires hil to become it pastor, Dr. Chapman lei last week for Anderson and on y cut erda preached two sermons from the pulpi he has been asked permanently to oe cupy. The Baptist Church at Andei son is probably the leading religion organization in that thriving and proc porous little city, and it has made D Chapman a generous offer. Other eil cumstauces combine to render tho ca desirable, and it is very likely that li will accept the ofter, though he has m yet positively decided to do fcso."
