Associational Record.
Ocmidgtt Association, (the less) Gu. —
This is a fraction of the old Ocmulgee As
sociation, which was severed from it through
the influence of Rev. T. D. Oxford. It is
composed of seven churches, which are lo
cated in as many different counties, viz : in
Baldwin, Henry, Monroe, Jasper, Craw
ford, Pike and Jones. It is, like the stock
from which it was broken, antimissiouary
in its character. The statistics of this as
sociation are as follows : Churches, as al
ready stated, 7 ; Ordained ministers, 2 ; li
centiates, 3; baptisms, 16; dismissed by
letter, 4; excommunited, 4; restored, 2;
received on confession of faith, 3 ; gain, 10;
total, 312. It appears to be an association
sui generis—as it holds correspondence
with no other body of Christians. They
met, appointed Elder Oxford moderator,
and principal preacher on Sabbath, heard
the circular read, appointed two gener
al meetings and the place of holding their
next association and adjourned. This is
the substance of all their acts! For what
end do they meet ?

H. Posey, Moderator. The following are
extracts from the Minutes.
” Took up the query from the Rome
Church, viz;
What is th.; duty of a church when
there are individuals holding letters from
Baptist churches ol our order, under the
following circumstances: First when the
letter has been taken from our own chbrch
and the individual remains in the neighbor
hood. Second, when an individual moves
into the neighborhood and holds his or her
Jotter an undue time.
To the first clause we answer'; that the
church granting the letter recall it, and if
the individual refuse to return it, lie be
considered in disorder and dealt with accor
dingly.
We answer la the Second clause. It is
the duty of the church in whose bounds he
may he, to inform the church granting the
letter of any disorderly or unchristian con
duct ol which he may he guilty. We
further consider that any person holding a
teller and living in the vicinity of an or
derly church an undue time, and refusing
toj >i:i the same is in disorder.”
‘•The committee on Publications sub
mitted the following report: That they
conceive that there is no belter way to in
crease out knowledge and acquire general
information, as a denomination, than by
Die reading of such religious papers as are
published bv it, Therefore resolved that
this body reeouuYied to each head of a fam
ily to take one or all the following news
papers: ’l he “Christian Index” I'enfield

paper. published by the A. I>. P. Society
Philadelphia. The “Baptist” edited by
Jlr. R. 15. C. Howell, NnslivilH Ten.,

“Information having been received that
I -Philips who was excluded
1 1 on) the Pleas.i.,i Valley Church, .Murray
’County, Ga. for defrauding It is creditors
and other immoral conduct, is imposing
himself upon the public as a preacher of
the Gospel. Therefore resolved, that lie
be published in our Minutes, and in the
“Baptist” issued at Nashvillei!, Tenessee,
by bro. Howell.”
“The following resolutions offered by
bro. Shackleford, were adopted.
Resolved, That we recommend to the
churches within our bounds, that upon the
last regular meeting before the annual con
vening of this body, that they have a mis
sionary sermon preached, and a collection
taken from the church and congregations
for the support of the gospel among us.
/iesolceit , That before the annual meet
ing of the Convention, a sermon he preach

to transmit to that body.”
Salem United Baptist Association, Ga.
This association was organized last year
by Churches dismissed from the Chatta
hoochee United Baptist Association.—
Their declaration of faith is the same
with that of the N. Ilarhpshite Baptists, the
Florida Association, Ala. and several other
Associations in the South and West. Its
second Session was held with the Bethle
hem Church, Randolph Cos. October 24,
25. It passed a resolution recommending
the observance of the -Monthly Concert of
l’rayer and agreed to request the Churches
to make contributions to aid itt the estab
lishment of a Book Depository and the
suppott of the Gospel at home and abroad.
As the Churches of ill is Association have
renounced and adopted a declaration of
faith unexceptionable as far as it goes, we
hope they will be received as brethren by
our Churches* Some of us might wish
lhat they had gone a little further in their
declaration of faith, but we must allow
some latitude to those who differ from us
in opinion. Theyjgree with us in all the
essentials of religi* If any labor to ex
cite prejudices against our views, or to
make proselytes to their faith, avoid such,
not for their doctrinal views, but for their
schismaticul conduct. What we say to
onS part of our brethren we say to the oth
er also. (

gear Brethren —You who have receiv
ed tie minutes of the Association, will think
it pissing strange to see it staled that the
introductory sermon w’as preached bv bro.
J. ‘Villiamson, instead of bro. Larry Hobbs,
wio was appointed last year Id preach the
inlKiductory sermon, and who did preach it
accirding to appointment. Again you will
see it stated that the Association was open
ed ly singing—and prayer by Bro. D. G.
Smtli instead of bro. D. G. Daniel. You
wi! also discover in different places iii the
Mi pies several other mistakes of less mag
nitude. Now from the above statement a
presents itself to ouf minds, viz :
“ l whom are the above mistakes to be
chr.,ged ? to the printer or the Clerk of the
Association? Thai they cannot be charged
to tie Clerk is evident from the following
comiderations : First, Because it would be
absiVd to suppose that the clerk of the As
sertion, who preached die introductory
serrronin 1843(unless lie was afflicted with
the lig head or had become a complete ego
tist) Von Id state in the Minutes that he
prealied the introductory sermon in 1844.
2nd. Deeauso as soon as the Clerk discov
ered t he mistakes lie demanded of the prin
ter tin manuscript copy of the Minutes, and
wlieV it was produced it did not contain the
first etter of the above mistakes—and it
was ; matter of surprise to the Clerk that a
respectable printer in the city of Macon had
workmen in liis employment that could not
or die not tell the difference between Wil
liamsin slid Hobbs, and Smith and Daniel.
The Minutes which I found at the Printer’s
office, I would not receive until the mis
take? were corrected, and this will account
forth?.: delay in their distribution. Hoping
the above remarks will prove satisfactory
to the churches who have received, and to
those who have not received their Minutes,
and that the Clerk of the Association be ac
quitted from any blame in the above mis
■tjtkes is the desire of your brother in chris
love.

Rev. Wm. 1\ Brantly-
Since our notice ol the severe arfilctions I
of brothei Brantly, many of his old friends
have inquired of us concerning the present!
state ol his health. But we have no cheer-!
ingnews to communicate.
\Ve learn a few days since fioiu a friend
ol the lainily, that there was no hope left
for bis recovery. That bis former vigor-j
Otis intellect was a complete wreck, and !
his once active and manly form now lay
helpless and unnerved. They are obliged
to feed liini as an infant, and he is incapa
ble of speaking so as to be understood.
While we sympathise with the distress
ed family of bro. Brantly in this sorrowful’
trial, we would not murmur, knowing that
“tnere is none can stay his hand, or say to
him, what dost thou ? be still and know !
that I am God.’ — Bap. Record.

Defence against Fear. —l know of butj
one way, (said Addison,) to fortify mysell |
against gloomy presages and terrors of mind !
—and that is, by securing to myself the ,
friendship and protection of that Being who
disposes of events, and governs futurity—
He sees, at one view, the whole thread of j
my existenoe-uol only that part of it wliich
1 have already passed through, but that
which iuus forward into the depths of eter
nity. VVhen I lay me down to sleep, I re
cominsnil mysell to His care; when la
wake. JL give mysell up to His direction.— i
Amidst all the evils that threaten me, I will
look up to Him for help, and question not I
but lie will avert them, or turn them to my !
advantage. Though 1 know neither the
time nor the manner of the death that 1
am to die, I am not tit all solicitous about I
it; because 1 am sure that He knows them
both, and that He will Dot fail to comfort
and support me under them,
Stuttering. —lt is almost always easy to
cure a child of stuttering, if but the right
method is adopted. Never hurry the child

remedy is a little severe at first, but an al-;
iii'ist “certain cure.”

moment slaves, that in some places the |
slaves are to the free, ns thirty to one ; that !
slavery there is of all sorts, from that which j
gives the master the most absolute control,
