in the service of the Lord, both of w :oin wore themselves out in the
service of the Lord, and died in the full ttinmph of a livinsr faith in

been their eternal gain. J' N. TRIBBLE, Chtfinnan.

Your coinmi/tee, 01a Missiciis hi© gratified to be-itv© that, ib©
spirit of missions is stiadily growiugin this association but is still far

shall send that gospel, Dear bretberen of the ministry, let us be mis
sionarivs in word aud in deed, let us preach missions, practice mis
sions, and show Io the world, that we mean what we say. We were
advised last year, to take collections for missions aud send mem uo
to this association, liave we all done it t Dear bieiheien let us take
part in the great conflict that we may share in the glory oi the victory.

Circular Letter.
o ——
Drar Brethren We address you a few lines from the text;
‘ Preach the Wold,” 2nd Timothy, 4th chap. 2nd verae. “In the be
ginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word
was God,” John Ist chap. Ist verse. “And the Word was made fleshy
and dwelt amoDg us,’ John Ist chap. 14th verse. The word means
Christ, therefore, to preach the word, i<* to preach Christ and his
ordinances aud salvation, by grace through faith. There seems to
be some clash among our ministers. Some of them seem to preach
salvation by works. Lear Brethren, let us labor to preach tl e truth
aud nothing but the truth, and be carefnl not to encourage pulpit af
filiation, as that leads to open communion sentiments, and brings er
ror into our churches, while some arc, we think, going into extremes
upon the non intercommunion question. But let us preach the word
and it will prevail. ar.d error will fail Let us be missionaries indeed,
be instan- in season and out of season. Reprove, rebuke, exhort
with all long suffering and doctrine. The grace of our Lord Jesus
Christ be with you all. M. P. TALTON.

THE OLD LAWRENCEVILLE
CAMP GROUND.
BONK TMINUS OP ITS EARLY HISTORY
CHAP. IV.
Editor Herai.d— At the tirst
campmseting, many of the protni
went Presbyterians, with their
pastor, Rev. fobu S. Wilson, at*
tended and worshiped with the
Methodist. Mr. Wilson preached
accusionaly, when iuviied.
Of thee t were Dr. Alexander,
Moeca Liddell, A. R. Smith, John
Mills, Milzs Strickland, and others
While with some of tue doctrine
of the two denominations,tuerewas
dissimilarity, yet these diflt fences
were deemed non essential to sab
ration and for the time ignored
and were no bar lo their christiiitu
fellowship
They prayed ogether.sang proas
cited and took communion togeth
er with .rue Christian fellowship
and cordial fraternity
Even at that early nay it, might
iruly have been said: Behold how
good aud pleasant it is for breth
eren to dwok togei Iter iu unity"
They seemed to understand that
there rns hut one Heaven to
which tall Christians will go wliedi
er they were Pres tylerians, Moths
odis's, Baptists or any other sect
in this life, and to li trmoniz in
heaven they should l.aroiotuze as
brethereti ou earth, ai d this fra
ternity on earth they considered
a condition precidoni to a glorious
fraternity in hetiveii.
7'his early Christian fellowship
has increased with those denomina
lion and enlarged will) the flight
of years anu is more cordial ami
unresiraiucd now than then.
I would euphasise at this poiut
in cur opinion it is the 'rue
spirit of all Christians, without
it in the opinion of the writer, all
the loud proil'essious that may be
mad eis simply “as a sounding
brass and a tinkling symbol," and
Gods word is our authority for the
opinion.
If all the churches of the differ
ent organization would give to
the winds their notions of “creeds"
which even the most bigoted
would hardly affirm as essential,
and would work together in hartuo
ny and fellowship uot renouncing
necessary for this their seperate
organization and modes of worship
■f they pleased, but would present
an unbroken and untied front in
the battle with the great enemy
of us all, then soon Christ would
have the heathen for an in he tin ee
and tue uttermost parts of the
earth for a possession.
Adhere to vour church weeds
if you will, but let me remind you
that ahurcb creeds never converted
a sinner, and church creeds niver
saved a human soul !
This qaanelliug and fault find
ing about “creeds”, has done trn
m ere mischief in Uie world as a
stumbling block in the way of
sinners, and may have sent souls
to perditiou.
Many men, not ebrisuans, have
nevertheless erected correct stand
ards of Christians charity and
Christian fraternity.
The churches in mai y instan
ces falling short of this, ami tailing
below this slandered, have caused
many, no doubt, to stau 1 aloof
and drove them to infidelity.
Let me state a case in i>oint and
by w»y of illustaliot:.
Two decades ago a man I knew
of good moral character and mote
than ordinary intelligence was
upon Ins dying bed. An old Min
ister one of these “fighting Par-
sons''who believed there wRS Uo
religi 'll except ill his church and
living neat by was sent for by the
family to turn lute ihe cousoltation .
of religion to the dying mm. Ap
preaching the sick mm wit > was
hi:- neighbor he addressed him
upon the subject of his piepcnuion
Io meet Ins God. Turning his
sac i to the pre teller and
iu fsllerit g accent die dying man
addressed him: “Mr. Blank 1
have known you for a long time
an I for years you have churned
to preach the gos|>el, / huveuuiird

religion was peace and joy, charity
aud loving kindneas. Your theos

me it to skepticisms and then ir.to
infidelity aud than almost into
atheisms, and here I am at death

me the consolaton of religion now!
too la;e ! too late ! and you sir

and you sir will be held responsi

And thus lie died! I offer no

/u this chapter I have digressed
laigely from my subject but have
no appollogics to offer. But to
resume ! There wore four grout

SUE STOOD FIRM
Them are meu who have no
sun so of gratitude, uud who do
r.ol seem to know what honor
means. A few days ago J>r. F- E.
Carpenter, of N*w York city, n
young physician in good standing,
eloped with one of his pullouts, u
woman mucQ ohldr than himself.
Mrs. Carpenter followed to Pouglt
keepsie, aud back to New York
aud there had them arrested.
The lawyer who vrm employed by
Dr, Carpenter, a/ the beam g be
fore the police magistrate, under*
took to get Mrs. Carpenter to
withdraw the charge and make up
with her husband. One of the
New York papers given tnis dis
cretion of the scone : Tne law
yer Lowed politely to Mrs. Car pen
ter, and, smiling upon her with a
bland professional smile, remarked:
“We can be all ready to proceed
with ibis case to-morrow morning,
but in the meantime, don't you
really think that—ah—it would be
better *o—ah—for ive your hus
band and make it all up nicely be
tween yout” “Never, never !’’ ex
claimed Mrs. Carpenter, flushed,
indignantly and half rising from
from her chair in her excitement.
‘‘l will never forgive him for this.”
“Ob, come, now, yes, you will,”
persisted tbs lawyer, iu his dulcet
tones. The woman’s sharp feat
ures grew sharper. “I tell you
that I never will. I haye been a
good true wife to him; true to my
duy to him, true to the vows I
made at the altar. I worked my
eyes into blindness and my fing
ers to the bone while he was study
iog to get his deploms and after
he bad gradua.ed and was build
ing up a good practice, my one
ambition was to fill his home with
comfort and add to his prosperi
ty and happiness. He will yet
realize the worth of ail the love
and devotion I gave him, and will
return to me. But I shall never
forgive him.” Ahtd .before the
depth of emotion which swayed
this pallid fragile young woman
the smiling lawyer forgot to srai/e.
It is riot to be wondered tel that
the lawyer forgot to smile. He
began to real'/*’, pet haps, wha/ the
woman had done for the man
whom she loved and wlio had treat
eu her love so lightly. As he
looked into the outraged woman s
'face ami thaught how true and
self sacrificing she had been he,
doubtless, understood how great a
scoundrel his cdsnt was. It is
sad to think that there are many

HE D/DN’T DIE
A promiueuioi'izeuof taie court

set last Weoaesday as the day he
was to die His wife, who ia a
lady of superior intlligence, pity -
iug his forlorn condition, did her
best (o argue him out of hie oran
ky notion. But all to no purnose
he insisted that -be ninet aud
would plume his wings for that,
laud far over Jordan which “is
fairer than this.’’ To aay that
ue was most miserable tells but
half the story; he moaned and he
groaned, aud was heard to pray
‘Oh, L >rd, here I lay me down to
sleep and if I die beferc I wake,
I (/od I’m gone.” W ednejuiaj
came, and though the aun rose
from behind the eastern bills in
espleudent glory, all was dark to
our citizens: he recognize the fact
that hi. day doom had come. The
day wore on, but h ; s vital powers
their own—dure was no sign of
giving way, aud wlien the sun
turned a down the western sky he
began to hope that he bad made
son e mistake ill his figures and
that lie might escape. But, just
aw lie begun take a little courage,
a terrible cloud arose loomed up
on the western horizon, Ihe light'
iiiug flashed in lurid glare, the
tin; ihiinber pealed in deafuing
volleys.and the winds gtrspedthe
mighty oaks aud Hook them as a
giant would a reed. Our citizens
gazed in dazed despair upon the
siiiiuiU of tbu elements, and deter
mined that a cyclone was at hand
and that a cyclone was at hand
and that was the rout he had to
travel to that ohter mysterious
aud unknown world He groaned
and resign'd himself to hie fate.
But /he cloud passed away; and
the sun sank behind the western
hills, bathing all nature iu a Hood
of living light. Our citizens wj|nne
abnormal condition bad prevent'd
him from taking the usual pabu
lum of t he dur, eat a harty sapper
ami eaerly rebred to rest. Soon
he lay a prisiuor in Morpheus,w
arms and did aot awake until the
bright rays of Thursday mornings
sun peeped in rt his window
lattice, ami seemed to lau>'h at
his fears and not then us til bis
wife approached his bedside and
osled gently in his eai, ‘ Job,
breakfast is ready.’ He opened
his eyes, and gazed around, pinch'
ed himself to be assured that he
was not dead, aros, dressed him
self and went to the dining room
and took on a breakfast that no
ghost was ever known to eat.
gsnee then he ban been in good

The man Davis, wko was shot by
Holland, the Texan, a few days
ago iu New York, appears to hvve
been not cnly a thoroughly bad
man, but a man who had beeh bad

For years his business was to rob
people just as be intended to rob
//olland, by pretending to sell
them coanterfiet money.
The chief of (he secret service
at Washington, who has had occa
sion more than once to inquire in
to the affairs of the Davises, says
that he hat no doubt that the dead
mun made hundreds of thousands
of dollaas in bis disreptutable bus

great many throughout the count
try who are dishonest, end only
lack the courage and means to
play dishonest parts. Ever* man
who applied to the Davises for
count rfeit money meant, of
couise, to pass the worthless stuff
upon tue public.
