Wo were greatly Intermtud the other day,
Inn.conversation between two miuiNturs: out
a Local, and the other an Item rant. The
eubJort in -euntrayersy, eras the Southern
Publishing House of. the M.. E. Church,
booth.
The Kev. Mr. B—. suld to Itev. Mr.
P—, I am fearful our Publishing Honat at
NaMbvilie.is gom„ to L« iruuhled about rath-
log mousy enough to meet its preswug nr,.
msIUvs. *.
But. Mr. P—. said I "I am not apprised
of the exact standing, or needs ot tbr. hours
at this time, lull d»n't tnink (ho mutiagis
meuthiui been judidoUH.nrd^if it wuro i'lo»cd
ijdou’t think wo would be hurt."
Kev. Mn H : “I uni mirptired ut you
ana I think if you would rtad the appeal of
tbo Biahops, you would charge your opin
ion."
Kev. Mr.-P—— ; “I.have sceu, bnUmVu
not rea'd the appeal, and I must say Vdou't
see vrbat gtmt good the Publicbiug House is
doing. You hove to pay more there to pub-
li*h a book,than you do at.T.W ISarke'r."
Kev. Mr. B : "I am agood friend of
j. W, Burko's, and.am mwajw pleased when
I hear of bU eucccih, but I think you nro
mistaken When you my work is done cheaper
by Burke A Co., or auy one else* thau our
house at Nashville dote It; bf course I rflier
to Boulhern houses.",''
Rev. Mr. P— j "My opiniou is, that
Individuals manage their own buritieo, more
jndiciouidy tl^ah they do other people's "
Bey. Mr. ft - ■ it ; ’ That tuny be true,
but I am informed that Mr. Bedford receives
$PH00 per annum, for managing tbo Put j
ILshlng House, when lie has ropeatedly been
oflferedmore to manage a Banking House;
aud In my opiniou it is to theiintoreat of
every member of our church to oomn to tho
reeeuo of the Publishing House. For if we
have to look to Uie North for our obnroh lit
erature, we shall often be brought to blush."
We publish the above to oall the attention
of every lover of his church und section to
the needs of tho Publishing House at Nash
ville. The house owes filuO.OOO; and there
are 1000,00b of Southern Methodist; ten or
twenty cents eooli will rriJevo this great en
terprise.
