CORRESPONDENCE.
DISSATISFIED,
Db. Breaker —I had the pleasure
of hearing your discourse before the
Gillsville association on missions, and
I wish to say that it was the best I
ever listened to. But, you know, it
is said “consistency is a jewel;” and -
I would like for you to tell us how
you couid make such an appeal in be
half of the heathen, and then appro
priate the money raised to use in the
bounds of the association. Wjll you
tell us, whether you consider the peo- 1
pie of Banks and Jackson counties,
heathen,and where the mission grotjml
is that the money you raised is to go
to? A VISITOIL
Thanks for tlie compliment. It may
be that you have never heard many
missionary sermons, or ours might not
rank so high. The appropriation cl
the money was not our act, and we
cannot be responsible for it. We do
not know all the people in Banks and
Jackson counties, but those we do
know are far from being heathens.—
We do not know how this money will
be used That matter is under the
direction of a judiejous committee,
as you will xoo by roforou.-o to the
minutes. They may know’ of some
more destitute field than Asia or Afri
ca, and some minister at home who
[is in greater need of help than the
| missionaries over there. Wait and
. see what they do before yon condemn
them. EDITOR.

'l'lie committee tippmited to consider the suggestion of ihc Gfilsville
church made the following report, which alter some discussion, was laid on
the table :
Report
That they have carefully considered llie matter in all its relations and
from every possibly stand point. We find that the action proposed by lhe
Gillsville ehmi'li does not contemplate the abolition of the association, but
simply the correction of certain irregularities that occurred in the orgauiza
tion. There irregularities have excited the opposition of the .surrounding
associations and deprived us of the co-operations of the brethren generally.
We are fully satisfied that it would be greatly to the advantage of the
churches composing this body and the promotion of the good of the
cause to put the matter right; and we think that to dissolve and re.oi’"aiiize
lin regular form is the proper course. But in a matter of -neh importance
. we do not think that would be proper to act without instruction from our
|churches. We find, too, that there arc complaints of irregularities in the
i proceeding in certain cases towards some of our churches ; and while we
are not disposed to make them an excuse for the continuance, of wrong on
j our part, wo still think that the object sought, viz: the peace and fellow
«hlp of the churches, can not be fully secured without a mutual rcconcilia
i lion. We, therefore,recommend that the association adjourn to the Salur
. day before the third in December,that a committee be appointed to confer
! with the parties in the Sarepta association whoso action is objected to, with
a view to the adjustment of the difficulties complained of, and that he.
I churches return their delegates to the adjourned meeting with instructions
’as to what action they shall take. Respectfully submitted,
D. AL BREAK Illi, Chairman.
The committee on Finance made the. following report which was adopted.
We have received tliefollowing amounts:
Harmony church, For Minutes, S 3 95
*’ “ ” Missions, 4op
Oconee church, “ Minutes, 2 00
Homer church, “ Minutes, j 70
Collected on Saturday night, for Sunday-school purposed, I GO
Collected on Sunday, for Missions, 10 05
Total, $22 15
We recommend that ahe money collected for Si.nday-Sehool nqrposes.
j Saturday night, as well as that held by brother House as Treasurer, also
. be turned over to the Ladies’ Central committee, to be applied for such
purpose as they'think best.
We recommend that the money raised for Missionary purposes be appro
priated in our own bounds. Respectfully signed,
I. W. ALEXAXDER, Chairman.
We, the comniitte on Queries and Requests beg leave to make the fol
lowing report :
Vour committee find no queries in the letters persented our body.
John I. Cheatham, (.•heatham.
The committee on Missions made the following report, which was adopted:
Recognizing the fact that the church is the appointed agency through
which the world is is to be converted to God, and feeling the responsibility
that rests upon us to do our part in this gn -t work, we earnestly recom
mend that each chinch adopt some definite plan for raising funds for mis
sions, and especially for home missions. We recommend that the pastor
of each church encourage the members to raise funds for missions. We
believe it to be the duty of each member of tlie churches to contribute for
this purpose, and wo believe that if the churches are proper!}’ instructed in
regard to this matter, they will accomplish great good in lhe spread of the
gospel. And we recommend that the churches of this Association look
after the widows and orphans of their churches. J. T. Ayers, Chairman.
lhe committee on Sunday Schools made the following report which was
; adopted.
W e arc sorry to find that the Sunday School work is much neglected In
our bounds, and would earnestly beg our brethren to arouse themselves to
this great and noble work We feci that our annual mass meetings will
do much good; and if the central committee will work as wc have reason
; to expect from the persons chosen, we are sure that next year will show a
decid* (1 improvement. We earnestly request for them the co-operation of
lhe sisters in all the churches. Let us have a flourishing Sunday School in
each church during the coming year. Wiley YARBitouai;, Chairman.
The committee on Temperance made the following report, which was
I i our committee are glad to see the Temperance cause advancing, and
earnestl}’ recommend all good people,and especially ministers, to discoun
tenance the use ofmtoxicating liquors as a beverage, until the curse of intem
perance shall be driven from our country. J. L Cheatham, Ciair’u.
The committee on Books and Periodicals made the following report
which was adapted:
M e feel that tlie Bible is the best reading matter that can be given to
our children and would urge our brethren and sisters not only to read it
themselves, but to encourage the children to do so. Wc recommend “Kind
ords” for our Sunday Schools, and the Baptist Baimer also.
J. B. King, Chair’m.
I’lie committee on Place of next meeting and persons to preach the
sermons, made the following report which was adopted :
1 Wc recommend that the next meeting be held at the Harmony chiu’ch
-that Rev. J. A. I nigston preach the Introductory sermon, and that Rev.
James Iludasill pre.aeh the Missionary sermon.
J- H. Barnett, Chair’m.
!adm'ted 0 ‘ U,n!Uee 0,1 EduCation mat,e the following report which wu
j It is useless for us to speak, of the great importance of an education.—
■ 1 he time Ims come when, if we fail to educate our children, they will have
to bear an unequal portion of the burdens of life. But more especially
should w e encourage the education of our ministry. The safety of our
tenets as a denomination depend upon the ministry to a great extent and
wc teel assured that the glory of God will be more fully developed in an
educated mimstry. We feel that a more thorough eduJation in the Bible
Will greatly aid our bnttljrun in the work of the Lord.
Your committee would call the attention of this body to the fact that
bio. J A. 1 mkston, our hcenciate minister, is now strugiing to obtain an
education and would commend him to the liberality and consideration of
all the brethren. j. w . Alexander, Chairman,
Ad q'lte ] C< ? mni!ttCC ou o,J l tll 4 r l ea >»ade the following report which was
| Dming the past yea; four deaths have occurred in our membersliip.—
LreJuen l - G Moss and R Chitwood, of Harmony church ; sister Martha
