THE BAPTISTS IN LANtASTER : Rev.
Isaac Bevan, late pastor of the Baptist church
in this city, publishes the following in the
last number of the National Baptist : "On
March 20th, I closed a brief term of labor
with the recently-organized church in Lan
caster. I was with them a little over two
months, and left them with the deepest re
gret. I was there long enough to become
very warmly and sincerely attached to the
members of that church and other Baptists in
the place, who, I trust, will soon unite with
them, and to members of the congregation.
The brethren and sisters there fully secured
my esteem and confidence. I believe that
through the blessing of Ood, and with the
labors of a good pastor, they will prosper and
be a useful church. They deserve the sym
pathy, confidence and prayers of the denomi
nation throughout the State. I say all this
unhesitatingl3 . They are disposed to work,
to contribute liberally according to their
means, and in every way to help themselves.
I trust that through the efficient and fraternal
co-operation of the committee appointed by
the Board of the General Association, they
will soon be favored with an able and faith
ful pastor. As a little band, they are well
and lovingly united. They have a promising
Sunday school, which has increased from five
to about sixty. They have prayer-meetings
on Monday and Wednesday evenings, which
are well attended ; they observe the monthly
concert, and contribute to missions. The
congregation gradually increased while I was
with them, and a few appeared to be much
interested in the Word. May God bless the
dear little church in Lancaster, and may all
Baptists in the State say, Amen. On the
first Sabbath in April I expect to commence
my pastoral duties with the Baptist church
at Clark's Green, from which I have received
a unanimous call."
