Brunswick and St. Mary’s, Georgia Con.
—R.T. Kent—We are moving forward here
and at St. Mary’s, having some powerful con
versions, though not as many as we would like
to see. But thanks be to the Lord, a goodly
number are coming forward day and night. I
would like to have the assistance of the Advo
cate, in all the families—it is indispensable to
our (Some of our people want it sent
to pay for it when able.) We would do well
here, if we had a church large enough to ac
commodate our members and friends. We
have much opposition; our church is called a
kitchfin. shanty, and such names, but thank
God, many come to the shanty and ask an in
terest in our prayers. There is a saying hfere,
we cannot hold our site to build a church on,
and that we will not he in this city long as the
Methodist Episcopal Church, but by tne grace
of God and the help of the friends of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church and elsewhere, we in
tend to stay, and build a fine church that our
Bishop will be pleased with. We are arrang
ing to commence building some time in this
month. We hope some Sunday-school will
he kind enough to adopt our Sunday-school, as
did the John Street (N Y.) Church, the one in
Augusta, Ga. Three weeks ago a whirlwind
passed over the upper part of this city, making
a road near a quarter of a mile wide, tearing
up live oak and pine trees as weeds; only two
houses were in its passage; in one, containing a
white family, the beds, chairs, stoves, and
other household matters, Were smashed and de
stroyed, and no one hurt. The other, the Car
Factory of the Atlantic & Gulf Railroad, was
blown nud scattered through the woods. For
tunately, tiiis happened at 7 o’clock at night,
when the workmen were out, or perhaps, many
lives might have been lost.

field of labor in Texas. I have just made my
fourth round on my circuit, and have preached
to large congregations at most of my appoint

such as shall be saved.

attained from one half to two thirds the quantity of the
latter, than with any other in market. The secret of the
success lies in the care with which Dooley’s Yeast

These Instruments have been before the Public tor
nearly Thirty Years, and upon their excellence alone
attained an unpurchased pre-eminence, which pronounces
them unequaled. Their
TONE
combines great power, sweetness and fine singing qual
ity, as well as great purity of Intonation, and sweetness
throughout the entire scale. Their
TOUCH
is pliant and elastic, and entirely froo from the stiffiaess
found in so many Pianos.
In WORKMANSHIP
they are unequaled, using none but the very best oen
sonefi mnterial, tlie Targe capital employed in our
business enabling us to keep continually au immense
stock of lumber, etc., on hand.
