Edwards, who preached from the text, "We preach Christ, and Him crucified, to the Jews a stumbling-block, and to the Greeks foolishness, but to them that are called Christ, the power of God and the wisdom of God." Dr. Cass preached at Cumberland street at night, on the words, "In the name of the Lord we lift up our banners." The numerous friends of Dr. Lee, resident in Richmond, will be glad to learn that the indications in his case were regarded as favorable all the day of yesterda

Hoping and believing that we shall soon hear from you favorably and encouragingly, we are your brethren and companions in this work of mercy and labor of love. John E. Edwards, Pastor of Trinity M. E. Church. William Norwood, Pastor of St. John's P. E. Church. Josiah B. Solomon, Pastor of Leigh Street Baptist Church. Philip B. Price, Pastor of the 3d Presby'n Church, Wm. E.
