SKETCHES.
An earnest effort was made to secure likenesses of the early fathers of the Presbytery and also members of more recent date. This effort has only been partially successful. Of some there were no likenesses in existence The original of Dr. Fairchild was an old time daguerreotype, excellent at first and a precious heirloom, but injured so as to prevent its being successfully copied. Judge Ewing's phototype does not do him justice. It was photographed from an oil painting and then phototyped.
The phototypes of Dr. Campbell and Joseph Paull will be readily recognized by all who knew them. Of the excellence of the steel engravings of Rev. Joel Stoneroad, Rev. George Paull, Redstone's representative on Africa's soil and Hon. Jasper M. Thompson, we need not speak.

PRESBYTERY OF REDSTONE.
The brief sketches already given of Dr. Fairchild in the histories of George's Creek and the Tent, renders but little addi- tional notice necessary.
Rev. H. O. Rosborough, the successor of Dr. Fairchild at George's Creek, and a warm personal friend, says: "Dr. Fair- child was born at Hanover, N. J., May Ist, 1795. He was the youngest of six children. His father died when he was but seven years old, and his training devolved on his mother, who survived until 1824. She was a woman of remarkable gifts and was greatly distinguished for the strength of her faith and her unusual activity and usefulness in the Church of Christ. She presented Ashbel in childhood to the Lord as an offering in the work of the ministry and his education throughout was con- ducted with this high and holy end in view. He began his clas- sical studies in Morristown, N. J., when but thirteen years of age. He spent one year in Princeton College, graduating in Septem- ber, 1813. He studied Theology in Princeton Seminary and was licensed by the Presbytery of New Jersey, April, 1816."
The following is a part of the action of the Presbytery of Redstone in regard to Dr. Fairchild:
RESOLVED, Ist, "That this Presbytery devoutly acknowledge the hand of God in the removal from us and from his endeared family and the field of his abundant labors and eminent useful- ness, our beloved and venerated father, the Rev. Ashbel Green Fairchild, who departed this life on the 30th of June, 1864, in the seventieth year of his age and the forty-ninth of his public labors in the Gospel.
RESOLVED, 2d, "That we regard the life and death of Dr. Fairchild, so fruitful through grace, in righteousness and peace, as bringing great glory to God and abounding good fruits to the Church of Christ. We would especially note his writings pub- lished by our Board, as 'The Great Supper,' 'Scripture Baptism,' 'Unpopular Doctrines' and 'What Presbyterians Believe,' which discuss and defend the doctrines involved, with such ability and popular effect. 'The Great Supper' has been translated and pub- lished in the German language and has proved to be one of the
