We Umsme that pastor, and tutored upon «r duties. Having used the Pres bytermn chnrch every alternate Sun % previously, we moved our place «f worship to the school building. Shoo came the rob. The Sunday school had been conducted in the afternoon, and uow it most be changed to the forenoon, and it ms deemed best to make it dmtimetlp Uthcran, we did and commenced with twenty-one, all told ! Now we fore more than three time* that somber, and it meets tbe same boor the other schools do. It took per- severance and faith to do it though. Still we all labored for it and did it. We made the point self sustaining, uad it oontiuued so until the R. It. company (on whom wo depend) dis charged and reduced tbe wage* of the members, sod run the commercial interest a of the towu so low that the P&os can scarcely live. Still it Uvsfe. We have asked no aid. Why I Be caoae in looking around over the ter ritory of W. Va. Synod, we saw other |4aces of more importance than Ibis te dispense means. As this in a transient point, to-day we may have * good congregation and to morrow it is gone. One month finds all the men engaged on the railroad or unities, *ih1 the next they are discharged or wages cut down, like in the present instance, so they can scarcely live, hence they leave for other (daces. Again, there is uo agricultural dis iriot around this place to support ft, depending principally upon Balti more, 200 miles distant, for pro via ioua. With sack noble undertakings as Richmond, Va>, Charleston, W. Va., and other points before ns, we conUl not work our conscience up to the point of asking the V*. Synod to sid us, and we don’t intend to, not for this place. Some other body «mld take hold of this poiut, who would sot miss a few hundreds and do well with it. But with such a place as Riehmoud in her territory, wo say look to that first. Work in the cities first, build up there and let that influence disseminate itself throughout tbe country.
