The amounts from St. Louis and Mis-*souri Conferences were reported by Bishop Doggett together, and as no receipts were sent the Book Agent, he could not learnwhether either Conference had paid alltheir portion.It will be seen from the above show-* V «ing, that after deducting the $2,000 contributed by a lady in Kentucky, for the bishops' support, the deficiency is still over $6,000.The only Conferences that paid the full amount of their- assessment are the Montgomery, Memphis and Northwest Texas. The Pacific and Columbia Conferences have not been heard from, but it is presumed that they have paid their amounts.Stir him up and let him know he isheld and firmly bound to redeem thatThat revival was one that de-promise;serves a prominent place la the history of the war. Indeed it is a prominent enough item to be set apart in a volume to itself. Bishop Marvin, Dr. Kava-naug;h, Col, Lewis, Rev. N. M. Talbotand others, were prominent men there.Mr. Wingfield, of Camden, Ark., andnumbers of others, would make conspicuous figures in the history of thatrevival. It was a strange sight to seemen whose hearts had never quailed before the glistening steel of the battle-arrayed foe, trembling at the altar ofprayer. **This deficiency falls very heavily on the noble men who are laboring so assiduously to promote the interests of the Church. The Episcopal year begins thefirst of June of each year; and before the| commencement of the year which willsoon close, several of them on whom the calamities of the war bore heavily, had no individual resources on which to fall back.But to a generous Church I need say no more. The preachers will please at once, either publicly or privately, raise such amounts as they can, and forward to me at Nashville.A. H. Redfobd, Agent.PRESBYTERIAN.wDeath of the Rev. J. A.
