Centennial services of the Fourth Presbyterian Church of the city of New York . he aid of which they mayshape their course alike through the entangle-ments and temptations of youth and the trials ofmanhood. And now with one other name I close thesetruthful but desultory remarks. I commend toyour prayers my beloved friend and successor inthe ministry of the Fourth Church, the R. Kerr, whom may the Lord continuelong to strengthen and support in his arduousthough much-loved work. He and I have notoften met; indeed, but twice — once for a fewbrief and hurried hours in Scotland, and again 175 here in New-York, for a few too brief but mostpleasant weeks. Having heard much about him,I esteemed him before I saw him; and now thatI have seen and heard from his pulpit and amidthe sanctities of his home, I have come to esteemhim very highly in love for his works sake. Itrust you will endeavor to cheer and encouragehim by your diligent attendance on the serviceswhich I know it is his heart and his life to con-duct. And now I must really stop, for the houris ADDRESS Mr. Robert Carter.
