A council of Congregational Churches was held in New Orleans, Sept.
16th, for the purpose of ordaining Prof. Geo. W. Henderson, A.M.,
B.D., to the Christian ministry. Rev. R.C. Hitchcock, President of
Straight University, was chosen Moderator. Mr. Henderson sustained an
excellent examination, and was installed Pastor of the Central
Congregational Church. The entire service was impressive, and Rev. Mr.
Henderson enters upon a very responsible charge of a large church with
many encouragements and hopes of great success.
