Mercury:—Allow me small space in your columns, to speak to those who find so many, (as they think well founded excuses) for not giving to the cause of olnis tiauity. 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 the Lord’s day. A great many call it begging, when asked to pay their Pastor, the church Sexton, or any incidental expense. It is not beg ging, hut requesting you to Kail Bond Heeling Wiugiitsyille, Ga., May 27.

I desire as your pastor during Miss Altman's vit-ifc to San- dcrsviile to add my own cheerful tes 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.
