Eds. Mercury:—Allow me

speak to those who find so many,
(as they think well founded excuses)
for not giving to the cause of olnis

Several members of our church
insist that this plan of poking the
basket under the nose of every one
on Sabbath morning, is the cause
of outsiders being opposed to at
tending our church. 1 fear this bus
only been thought of by those mem
bers, and laid at the door of out
siders, for I am sure that outsiders
as a general thing, find the way to
their pockets, when they see the
basket coming, sooner than the
church members. It is understood
that this basket, is passed around
on purpose, so that the members ol
the church can find no excuse for
not being called upon for their
dues "to the church, and we are al
ways thankful if outsiders contrib
ute, but do not wish them to think
we impose it upon them. The en
velope system was started us a plan
to pay our pastor, so as to relieve
the church from begging its mem
bers, for what they justly owe to
God. We understand some of the
members find great fault with it,
some go so far as to say it is wrong
because it is paying debts on the
Sabbath. We are not compelled
to put these envelopes in on Sun
day. There are Stewards appoin
ted, and these envelopes may he
sent without trouble any time in the
week you choose to one of these
stewards. You need not quit the
church or fail to pay what you just
ly owe God on the plea that you
do not believe in paying debts on

As these resolutions and the ac

during Miss Altman's vit-ifc to San-

timony to the lovable and excellent
moral character of this young lady,
it was my privilege to know her weii.
There was no purer and brighter
spirit tlmu hers. While she was noi
a member of the Christian church
yet I have the means of knowing it
was her purpose had she lived soon
to bo. Her heart was with us. Often
after tin; close of the services she
would say Mr. Harris, i thank you
for tliut sermon; I enjoyed it very
much.’ So much loveliness cannot
die. But sne has crossed over tin
river aud now rests under the shade
of the trees.’ She is iu the hands ot
a merciful God. Peace to her asi.ea.

Gti., Dr. J. B. Roberts superintendent,
announced the death of Miss Edith
America Art man, whereupon the fol
lowing resolutions were read and unan
imously passed :
Whereas, we the teachers and schol
ars of the Christian Sunday School as
sembled, have heard with the pro-
foundest regret of the death of Miss
Edith America Altman, iii the city
of Charleston, S. C., ou lust Sunday
23d of May, 188U. And, whereas,
Miss Artnuui was one of our most
efficient teachers for nearly a year,
and by her modest, zealous and faith
ful attention to duty, her gentle and
amiable deportment won the highest
respect and tendefest affection of
both teachers and pupils; for
None knew her but to love her,
None named her but to praise.
Therefore, Bo it Resolved, That
while we bow with the profoundest
humility and submission to this in
scrutable decree of Providence know
ing the Lord of the whole earth will
do right, and while our hearts are
filled with unutterable sadness at the
death of one so lovely and so young,
yet wo rejoice that the gloom of the
grave is illumed by the light of reve
iatiou, and we look forward to the
day when wo shall receive our loved
and lost ones again, when the fare
well hand of separation will never
be taken, aud when God will wipe all
tears from all faces.
Resolved, That we as teachers and
scholars tender to the bereaved and
stricken family of Miss. Artinan, our
sincerest sympathy in this their great
ve j loss, and ask that we be permitted to
your just debts to your heavenly mingle our tears with theirs over the

His Spirit answers to liis blood,
And tells me I am born of God.
To God I’m reconciled;
His pardoning voice I hear;
He owns me as liis child;
I can no longer fear.
With filial trust, I now draw nigh
