MWAH business letters should be addressed to the publishers, Hitchcock & Walden, and all commu nications for The Methodist Advocate to the editor, E. Q. Fullkb, D. D. John Lothrop Motley. The death of this distinguished historian took place in London, May 20. Mr. Motley was born in Dorchester, Mass., April 15, 1814. In 1831 he graduated at Harvard College, then spent a year at each of the Universities of Berlin and Gottingen, then traveled rather extensively.

He afterward re turned Holland for a time, then went to England, where he re mained until his death. Bless the “Golden Hours” of midsummer! Pure and fresh as morning dew, and bright as sunshine, is the July number. From its watch tower on the mountain tops calls that wise little bird, its tutelary genius, and there is no question about atten tion and interest when we hear that voice. The solemn old fellow brings all his family to grace our national jubilee, and every quill of every owl of them is full of joyousness, earn estness, and love for all of God’s creatures, not excepting the toad— an ugly one at that —but Hans Christian Andersen could find jewels every-where, even in a toad’s head. We need not tell all about the book; you will read it yourselves. You will go to the “Fo’rt of Cbuly” with Mary Hartwell’s “Hans,” sym pathize with “General Peg and her Staff,” give thanks to all the pleas ant talkers, and, best of all, we think your heart will hold forever the memory of “Little Flashes,” dear, brave little comet, whose light went out in such love and glory. Published by Hitchcock & Wal den, Cincinnati, 0. Send to 110 Whitehall-street, Atlanta, Ga., for it. Subscribers are coming in on “that thousand,” but not so fast as we should be glad to have them. Two Hundred in a day would not disturb us in the least. Send them on rap idly, with the money. Our semi-annual report for June Ist is far the beßt which we have made in five years, and we have no doubt it will be as agreeable to the Agents and the Book Committee as it is to us in Atlanta. We hope that every subscriber whose subscription terminates with June will immediately renew, and hand his preacher the money, as it will be impossible to get back num bers if the matter is neglected. Death has again entered the home circle of brother R. 11. Waters, and has taken little Mary, a promising child of two years, who died on the 13th, after a brief illness. The be reaved parents have our warmest sympathies. Our compositors are very much annoyed by the bad manuscripts which we are compelled to place in their hands, not having time to copy them, and, in fact, finding it difficult to read them ourselves. A few of our correspondents are faultless in this particular. Brethren, please write very plainly. Southern people are informed that there is not now and never has been such an organization as “The Meth odist Episcopal Church North.” The Methodist Episcopal Church, with a membership of one and a half million, and spread over Europe, Asia, Africa and America, we sup pose is what is meant when the “Church North” is spoken of. -♦-« • TJProsjramme of Columbia (S.C.)

The following preamble and resolu tions were, on motion, adopted and or dered to be published, by the Rock ingham District Conference, Meth odist Episcopal Church, held at Agnes Chapel, Greenbrier county, West Vir ginia, May 23,1877: Whereas, the Christian sense of the times and of the South demand such fraternity between the Methodist Epis copal Church and the M. E. Church South as will tend directly to organic union with each other; and whereas, such a fraternity requires no indorse ment of the past history of each other’s denominations, in their distinctive fea tures, nor any surrender of rights or titles to property, but according to the deeds, nor any transfers but such as are indicated by the letter and spirit of our Book of Discipline; and whereas, cer tain parties of the M. E. Church South have industriously, in their own inter est, endeavored to make the impression that the action of the Cape May Com mission is final and compulsory, and have thereby further prejudiced many persons against our labors, and have in some instances induced the courts to regard the printed or written statements of said Commission as a sufficient ground to adjudicate suits against us, or confirm trustees, without regard to our Disciplinary mode of election, or our non-appearance at court; therefore, 1. Resolved , The Cape May Commis sioners’ report is subject to the action of their respective General Conferences; and further, our rights and duties as ministers and members of the Method ist Episcopal Church are in no wise different from our Book of Discipline, on account of the action of said Com mission. 2. We see no reason, but much to the contrary, why we should relinquish any part of the rights accorded to us in our church property titles, or make trans fers for any object, or by any mode other than our Discipline indicates. 3. We hereby respectfully protest against any action of the courts respect ing our church property, based upon papers purporting to be from the Cape May Commissioners. 4. We will allow members and minis ters of the M. E. Church South to use what of our church property is now oc cupied by them whenever not required by ourselves; provided that they bear a proportionate part of the necessary ex penses. S.

Headquarters, Marietta, Ohio, 1 May 23, 1877, f To the Veterans of all branches 'of Military and Naval Service throughout the United States: Comrades. —Three annual encamp ments of the National Re-Union have been held at Caldwell, Ohio, the last one having an average daily attendance of 15,000, with 27 States represented. The attendance last year demonstrated that the gathering has outgrown the Klace and accommodations. It has een decided, therefore, to hold the Fourth Encampment at MARIETTA, 0., SEPTEMBER 4th, sth, 6th and 7th, 1877, and the Executive Commit tee hereby extend a hearty invitation to all Soldiers, Sailors and Veterans of all grades and branches of the service, without distinction, to meet with us as above. In this matter we know no politics, no North nor South, but wish to meet upon the broad platform of a common and united country. The most extensive preparations are under way to provide for the comfort and entertainment of the great gather ing. The city has offered the use of all public buildings, parks, etc. The Gen eral Government and the State of Ohio have voted us the use of artillery, tents, muskets, ammunition, battle flags, etc. The Ohio National Guards will gen erally encamp with us, and Governor Young, with staff, has accepted an invi tation to be present, and review them. This county alone will furnish a battal ion of 800 to 1,000 men for escort and camp duty. An immense camp will be located near the city, on the bank of the Muskingum River. The President, all State Governors, and leading civilians and military men have been invited, and are generally expected in camp. Correspondence had with General Sherman and Cockrell, [late of the Confederate service,] lead us to hope that both, so far as they can tell now, will be with us, and we hope to announce others shortly. The exercises will consist of artillery salutes, brass band contests, dress parades, experience meetings, sham battles, etc. A boarding bureau, on the Centennial plan, will be established for those who desire private entertainment. Those who wish to go into camp should form messes and bring blankets, etc., along. We furnish shelter and fuel for camp fires only, but will allow a few sutler stores in camp, where supplies can be had at reasonable rates. The (Executive Committee will be pleased to take charge of and return to owners at the next Re-Union, any relics of the late war .that holders may be disposed to have returned. The re turn of a captured sword by Major Estes, of Texas, to Col. Archer of the 17th lowa Regiment, at the Re-Union of 1875, was an interesting and impressive ceremony. Marietta can be reached by three leading railroads and two navigable rivers, the Ohio and Muskingum.— Direct rail connection can be made from Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Baltimore and Pittsburg. The lowest possible excursion rates will be pro cured, and parties should club together and write for rates from their respect ive homes. Further information cheer fully given upon application to the Secretary. Respectfully submitted, D. P. Bosworth, Chairman Executive Committee. R. B. Hoover, Secretary. “Buy buy, John,” said a fond wife to her spouse the other morning. “Good by, my dear,” said he. “O, no, stupid; I mean buy, buy a can of Kellogg’s Baking Powder before you come home. Brother C. S. Long writes us from Asheville, N. C., in the following encouraging manner: “You ask for 200 more subscribers from the Holston Conference, which will be about two from each circuit and station. I have made an effort to get my pro rata and have succeeded in getting six. I herein send you the list and post-office money order for the amount of subscription.” Summary of Latest News. PERSONAL.

VEGETINE Strikes at the root of disease by purifying the blood, restoring the liver and kidneys to healthy action, invigorating the nervous system. Vegetine Is not a vile, nauseous compound, which simply purges the bowels, but a safe, pleasant remedy which Is sure to purify the blood, and thereby restore the health. Vegetine Is now prescribed in cases of Scrofula and other dis eases of the blood, by many of the best physicians, owing to its great success'in curing all diseases of this nature. Vegetine Does not deceive invalids into false hopes by purging and creating a fictitious appetite, but assists nature in clearing and purifying the whole system, leading the patient gradually to perfect health. Vegetine Was looked upon as an experiment for some time by some of our best physicians, but those most incredu lous in regard to its merit are now its most ardent friends and supporters. Vegetine Says a Boston physician, “has no equal as a blood purifier. Hearing of it« many wonderful cures, after all other remedies had failed, I visited the laboratory and convinced myself of its genuine merit. It is prepared from barks, roots and herbs, each of which is highly effective, and they are compounded in such a manner as to produce astonishing results.” Vegetine Is acknowledged aud recommended by physicians and apothecaries to be the best purifier and cleanser of the blood yet discovered, and thousands speak in its praise who have been restored to health. PROOF. WHAT IS NEEDED. Boston, Feb. 13,1871. Mb. H. R. Stevens: Dear Sir—About one year since I found myself in a feeble condition from general debility. VEGETI v E was strongly recommended to me by a friend who had been much benefited by its use. I procured the article, and after using several bottles, was restored to health and discontinued its use. I feel quite con fident that there is no medicine superior to it for those complaints for which it is especially prepared, and would cheerfully recommend it to those who feel that they need something to restore them to perfect health. Respectfully yours, U. L. PETTINGILL, Firm of S. M. Pettingill A Cos., 10 State-st., Bostou. Cincinnati, Nov. 26, 1872. Mr. H. B. Stevens: Dear Sir—The two bottles of VEGETINE furnished me by your agent, my wife has used with great ben efit. For a long time she has been troubled with dizzi ness and costivenessj these troubles are now entirely removed by the use of VEGETINE. She was also troubled with Dyspepsia and General Debility, and has been greatly benefited. THOS. GILMORE, 229% Walnut-street. FEEL MYSELF A NEW MAN. Natick, Mass., June 1,1872. Mb. H. R.
