eral times, as many as two hundred at and
around the altar for prayer—persons from
6 to GO years of age. As to results, we have
received into our Church 150 members, and
among thorn some of the best material in
the laud. In a few instances whole families
have beeu brought in. I think the Pres
byterians will receive as many as 35 or 40 at
least—the Baptists some 10 or 15, and the
Episcopalians some 8 or 10, as the fruits of
the revival. Our eolored Church 50.
The amount of good done caunot be ap
proximated. Tho numbers who have been
reclaimed that are members of the Church —
the extirpation of bitterness and ill feeling |
from the hearts of many, and the general j
strengthening and building up of Church
members—and the purpose of so many to
address themselves earnestly to the work of
saving their own souls, aud the souls of
those around them.
I have no doubt God will call some of ;
these young men to preach the gospel.
The temper of the community is changed
towards the world—towards ministers —to-
wards the Church, and towards God as well, j
Best assured, brother, we feel very grate- i
ful to God.

Rocky Mt. Circuit, S. C. Conference.
Mr Editor: Permit me to say through
the' Advocate to the friends of Ziou that
there has been a gradual improvement in j
many interests vitally connected with the
Church on this Circuit the present year.
The dancing mania prevailing in the be
ginning of the year, has given way to prayer
meetings and other religious exercises.
We have recently been blessed with re**
■vival influence to some extent at two or
three points on our work.
Our fourth quarterly meeting at Ebe
nezer embraced the 4th Sunday in Sep
teni'ber, and was protracted till Monday i
night after the first Sunday in October— .
eleven days. During this meeting 28 or 30 j
professed conversion, and 21 white persons t
joined the Church. The membership was
thoroughly revived, aud a good religious in
fluence left upou the community.
Embr icing the first Sunday in October a
meeting was protracted five days at El Beth-
or 12 white persons were converted,
and nine added to the Church. At these
meetings several of our best young men and i
young ladies professed conversion and join- j
ed the Church. Brother E. A. Lemmond j
was with us at Ebenezer ail the time, and j
brdther G. M. Creighton part of the time, j
Also brother Smith, of the Tennessee Con- j
ference, was at the close of the meeting at
Ebenezer. Bros. Leard and Cauthen were
with us at the first of the meeting at El
Bethel.
The colored churches have been reorgan
ized and regularly served during the year.
Beside this reorganization, we have added
to their number 230 during the year- —so
that now there is a large colored member- i
ship on this work. I have not the confi
dence in our colored membership that I wish
to have—many seem to be doubtful in their
minds as to what policy they should pursue.
In fact, with most, if not all, their stand
ard of piety is too low. As in former days,
so now. “As then they did not regard steal
ing, or as they said “ taking ” from their
master, a violation of-their religious obliga
tions, so now too many, we fear, even with
their names on the Church book do not
hesitate to take and appropriate to their own
use that which legitimately belongs to their
employers. Os course we should preach
and deal plainly with them, even at the risk
of driving them from us. They need ele
vation in their views as to their standard of
moral obligation. Upon the whole they are
doing as well or better on this work than we
expected them to do.
We have not much revival in financial
matters. Some few among us do all their
duty. We need some system to bring tho
whole Church into action on this subject.
When will all our members feel the force
of the moral obligation resting upon them
to support the Gospel? When will they
bringstheir tithes into the house of the
Lord, that there may be meat in his house ?
Will any withhold in order to build up their
fallen fortunes, and thus “rob God ?” And
will not the Lord withhold his blessing from
’ Buch, and spoil their expectation of worldly
gain ? As in the days of Nehemiah so
now. When Nehemiah went to restore or
der to the house of God (Neh. xiii. 10.)
he found that the Levites had fled every one
to his field, having forsaken their legitimate
calling, had gone to secular employment for
a support. Some pastors now feel compell
ed to turn to secular business to get bread.
Who will fill their places? Let us pray
God to incline the hearts and hands of our
people to support those laborers already in
the vineyard, and to send forth more labor
ers as the “harvest is great.”
Our Missionary and Conference collec
tions will 1)6 small The great failure in
crops will account largely for this.
The changes engrafted upon Southern
Methodism so far as we know, meet with
the concurrence of our people in this sec
tion of tho work. I believe we are gener
ally willing to call our branch of u Zion ’
the “Episcopal Methodist Church.’’

CoKESBURY CT , S. C. CONFERENCE. —
The Rev. W. P. Mouzon writes: We have
been favored with some gracious seasons on
this circuit. Our meeting at Cokesbury
the last of July, resulted in the addition to
the Church ot five whites. Fourteen color
ed have been received sinc3. At Pine Grove
School House ' over 40 whites joined, and
'there were a number of conversions. At
Turner’s Chapel 10 conversions, and an ad
dition of 10 whites and 4 colored. At An
drew Chapel several conversions, and 25
whites and 64 colored added. At Bethle
hem about 20 conversions, and 12 whites
united with the Church. I returned to-day
from our quarterly meeting atGiigal, which
commenced last Friday. r J here were several
conversions, and an increase of Id w ** es
aDd 14 colored. To God be all the praise.
Rutherford Ct., S. C. Conference.
Revs. D. May and J. P. Depths write
We closed a meeting at Gray’s Chapel last
week which resulted in building up the
membership of the Church more firmly in
the faith, and in the conversion of about
twenty-five souls, and audition of thirty-five
to the Church. We then commenced at
Union Church, and he.don until last night,
during which time there were about twenty
conversions, and thirty-five additions to the
Church, and the membership was abundant
ly revived. Bro. Hamby, a local preacher,
labored with us with great efficiency. Wo
are glad to say that the circuit generally is
in an improving condition.
Andrew Female College, Cuthbert,
Ga. —Our intelligence from this institution
is of the most encouraging character. Un
der the direction of the Rev. Dr. Hamilton,
late of Tennessee, assisted by an able corps
of teachers, it cannot fail to be a great suc
cess. The present session commenced with
60 pupils, and the number is being daily in
creased. We hear the most enthusiastic ac
counts of Dr. 11.’s system and discipline in
conducting this institution. We congratu
late our friends in South-Western Georgia,
in having secured the services of this well
known gentleman and accomplished teacher.
Clayton, Ala. —The Banner says : A
very interesting meeting has been going on
for several days at the Methodist Church in
this place. Several have been added to the
Church, and much interest seems to be man
ifested by many others. The Pastor, Rev.
Mr. Wild, with the zealous assistance of
Rev. Mr. llaynes, has labored strenuously
in the cause ot his espousal. We sincerely
hope they may meet the reward of faithful
laborers, and also that the fruits of their cl
forts may be abundantly seen in our commu
nity.
—
Calhoun Ct., Ga. Cons. —Rev. W.
A. Simmons writes: This circuit is enjoying
a very general revival, and is in a prosper
ous state religiously. During the past two
months more than one Hundred and fifty
have been added to the Church. About
five hundred have been recently added to
the Church in the different denominations
in the county.
Rock-spring Sunday-school Celebra
tion.
Mr. Editor: I agree with Bro. Oliver
that the influence of Sunday-school Cele
brations depends entirely on the manner and
the motive of their management. We have
had three celebrations in our school this
year; and the good effect, directly upon
our own school, aud indirectly upon others,
has been so great that we intend by the
favor of God to have another before New
Year.
lam happy to believe that these public
exercises have done much towards exciting
in all this section ot cc uutry an unprecedent
ed interest in the subject of religious edu
cation, from which it has come to pass that
hundreds of children and youth have this
year been punctual and studious Sunday
school scholars, who uever cared for these
things before. *
Our plan is to hold our meeting on Mon
day night in the Church. The programme
consists of singing, prayer and recitations
of hymns, passages of Scripture, speeches,
and dialogues, all designed to recommend
and enforce the doctrines and the duties of
Christianity. We have no need of physi**
cal food; and hence have never had a din
ner or supper; but I would not object even
to a pic-nic, if properly managed. During
these exercises men unused to weep have
been caused to feel that out of the mouths
of babes and sucklings God hath been per
fecting His praise. And quite a large pro
portion of the converts in our recent revival
are members of our Sabbath-school.
But my object was to inform you that wc
have just enjoyed a Sunday-school Camp
meeting at llock-spring Camp Ground, Lin
coln co., N. C. This was held on the last
Thursday and Friday of September. The
intention of the movement was partially
thwarted by the short notice; so that com
paratively few schools were fully, represent
ed, and only four took an active part in the
public exercises ; but yet the enterprise was
pronounced a complete success, aud, no
doubt, is already resulting in great good.
During the two days we remained to
gether, we were favored with appropriate
and stirring addresses from Rev. Messrs.
Brantly, York and William C. Power, and
M. L. McCorkle, Esq., each of which claim
ed the attention of the large congregation,
and had its due effect upon all concerned.
But the exercises of the children, as in suc
cession they occupied the stand, secured the
attention and the sympathy of the people
far more thoroughly tin n the learned and
eloquent appeals of these experienced
speakers. I have neither time nor disposi
tion to discriminate ; but can truly say that
the perfect recitations, the eloquent ad
dresses, the ingenious dialogues, and the
soul-stirring songs, to which from time to
time we listened, made good impressions
upon many a heart, and resolved us all to be
more active laborers in the vineyard of the
Lord.
The officers present resolved themselves
into the Western Carolina Sunday-school
Society, with the hope that by organized
united effort, without sectarian distinction,
some still greater impulse may be given to
SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE.
this cause, so dear to every Christian’s heart.
Our next Annual Union Celebration will be
held in this town (Lincolnton, N. C.,) in
September, 1867.

Luther Summoned to Worms.
Mr. Editor : —ln perusing D’Aubigne’s
most interesting work, my attention was
forcibly arrested by the following extract
from the meditations and comments of Mar
tin Luther.
The Diet at Worms, convened for his de
struction, was in session, and each day he
expected an order to attend it; his friends
in great distress, already considered him as
one of the mart} rs so much did they expect
his condemnation, but,
Strong in the strength which God supplies
Through Ilia Eternal Son,
“ none of these things” move him.
May we Christians of the present day,
amid our cares and toils, learn from the per
secuted yet unshaken Luther, a lasting les
son of unwavering, calm, and cheerful faith
in our God. But to the extract:
“ The tidings from Worms were alarming:
even Luther’s friends were dismayed.
‘Nothing is left to us but your goodwill
and your prayers,’ wrote Melancthon to
Spalatin. O ! that God would vouchsafe to
make our blood the pr'ce of the Christian
world’s deliverance. But Luther, a stran
ger to all fear, shutting himself up in his
quiet cell, fixed his meditation, with an im
mediate reference to his own case, on those
ecstatic words of Mary, the mother of Jesus:
‘My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my
spirit hath rejoiced in God, my Saviour. . .
For he that is mighty hath done to me great
things; and holy is his name. . . He hath
showed strength with his arm. . . lie hath
put down the mighty from their seats, and
exalted them of low degree .* Let us review
some of the thoughts which passed through
Luther’s head.
“ ‘ He that is mighty ... saith Mary. Oh,
what boldness of speech in this young vir
gin ! By a single word she brands all the
strong with weakness—all the mighty with
faintness—all the wise with folly—all those
whose names are glorious on the earth with
disgrace; and casts all strength, all might,
all wisdom, all glory, at the feet of God
alone. This arm, she says again—signify
ing the power by which he acts of himself,
without the aid of any of his creatures —
that mysterious power which operated in
secret aud silence until it has accomplished
all his will .. . Destruction comes when
none has marked its approach—deliverance
comes when none has dared to look for it.
He leaves his children in oppression and
misery, so that every one says within him
self, They are past all hope! But even
then is He the strongest; for when man’s
strength ends, God’s strength begins. On
ly let faith wait upon him. . . And at an
other time he suffers his enemies to exalt
themselves in Uheir pomp and vain-glory.
He withdraws from them the succor of his
strength, and leaves them puffed up with
their own. He empties them of his eternal
wisdom, and permits them to be inflated
with their own wisdom, which is but for a
day ; and then, when the eyes of their fel
low-men are dazzled with their greatness,
God’s arm is lifted up, and lo! the fabric
they have been rearing disappears in a mo
ment, like a bubble bursting in the air.’
“It was the 10th of March, while the
imperial city was trembling at his name,
that Luther concluded his commentary on
the magnificat.” Jessie.

Dr. Crutcher proposes to use, in connection w th his
prac ice, Dr. Dadfuld’s new invention, winch he terms
an EQUALIZER, for curing Paralysis, Rheumatism,
Neuralgia,Spinal Affections, Weak Bark, Weak Lungs,
Wasted Limbs, Dyspepsia, wkh ife d< biiitating conse
quence, Rush of Blood to the Head, Chronic Diar
rhoea, and all cases of General Debili y, arising from a
want of proper circulation of the blood, or ncrvo-vital
fluids. This instrument offers more to those afflicted
with chronic disease, than any remedial agency known
to the medical profession. The principle of its action
is simple, but scientific and pathological. Physicians
are especially invited to examine into its merits.
THE EQUALIZER
consists of a receiver sufficiently large to seat a lady
within the encasement without any inconvenienoe, be
sides, there are other receivers for the legs, arms, and
other parts of the body, which may bo adjusted by a
ten year old child. To the receiver-! is attached an air
pump, by means of which, the air is exhausted from
the parts enclosed. Tnis causes a rush of blood to the
capil'ary system thereby opening up the way for the
vitalizing fluids, so necessary for the living parts.—
Reference can b given of Paralytic cases cured of from
three to nine years' standing if necessary. Call and exam
ine for yourselves, and talk with those under treatment .

THE
SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE!
1867.
THIRTIETH VOLUME.
This well known religious
family newsprper, commences its THIRTIETH
VOLUME in January, 1?67, under the editorial con
trol of the REV. E H MYERS, D. D, who has conduc
ted it for the past twelve years.
Devoted to R- liaion and the interests of the Church
of Christ—an organ of the Methodist Episcopal Church
South, in the South-Eastern States—of high literary
character—having among its contributors and corres
pondents many of the most eminent divines in that
Church, and giving due attention to every question of
public importance, to facts in Science and Art. to the
News, to the Markets, etc, etc., we deem it the veto
paper for the Family, where but one paper is taken,
and worthy a place with the best, where several are
taken.
Besides, it is emphatically the paper for the poor
man, (and such we all are now) for it is cheaper, style
and size considered, than any paper In the Southern
States.
