Thanks are due for this

For the Church to be built at Columbia, there are already in hand nearly $800. Thanks are due, for this, to many friends in different parts of the country, who have responded to the Missionary’s call for aid; and, more particularly, to the Ladies of Edenton, who, by their self-denying labors, raised, of the amount above, $500. In addition, $300 or more can be gotten whenever called for.
