2 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. Yours, fraternally, H H. Parks. Athens, Git., Oct. 2 Qlh, 1866. 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.’’ R. P. Franks. 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. I am yours, S. Lander, Sec’y W. C. S. S. Society. 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.
