This will inform the many readers of the Star that we have just closed a very successful revival on the Hert ford Circuit* which resulted in 46 con verts. W 0 had the pleasure of having Bishop J. W. Hood with us on Sunday August the first*, Hia presence in Eastern North Carolina, as a . Bishop, is always gratifying. His sermons at Bay Branch and Hertford, were per fect gems of theological deduction. His influence and wide-spread useful ness in this section, and in fact, in the Whole connection, can not he described by Any human being. . He met with a warm shake of the hand from both white and colored, while here. .'v ' It affords me unspeakable pleasure to state that while in Norfolk Van a few days ago, I met Rev. Andrew Cartwright, our Superintendent of the African. Mission Conference. He speaks in glowing terihs of our belov ed Ztoii in Africa. ‘ While in Norfolk, we were the guest of Rev. ' R. A. Fisher. We weat withhira to see the New Church. The Walla are nearly completed ; thus a tbriOk church iu Norfolk, for Zion, Is i no more a dream, but a reality. ► • V -■ W - ; ■ ■ ' •. fFROM PROVIDNECE RHODE *SLAND. ’*» - Mr.EUtor: ! >’■ -> * ;■„ However strange it mayappear, it is true aeverth* tear, that Rhode islahd is Ue greatest place fi>r solid pleasure I know of. *-‘f I can scare* V realize that I am in charge of * ttraireb; for since I have ■arrived here from the Capitol city (Washington) I have had but little freedom from the company of a gen. erona hearted people who delight in taking their paster to every place of interest,—excursions Ac, daily haver «o engaged me that I feel to he off on alitlle pleasure tap.. v'd ' * . Allow me to mention the name of some of the places: Oakland Bench a fine tea view situated nearly on a lev el isafine excursion site; also Gremcm Park,'Silver spring, Newport and Utsi but* not least is Ilocky Point; to de sori tie this beautiful plaoe is a task, I admit beyond my power. I< can but faintly picture In a few words’ the beauty and grandeur off his magnifi cent site; there is no place that is such •a exhibition of God’s creative power and the weadenui skill exhibited in the oobstruotiokt of those lofty' hills, while hvfie rocks lift their cragged heads far above thesurfbee seemingly to bUdefiauce to the omnipotent arm ofHim who gave them birth. A natur al cave that hi destined to recall to the mind of a student in sacred history, the days of Elijah, when he hid in a cave at Beer-sheba. And then there is the lovely shaded groves, rustic and the great Narragansett Bay which is an injj$t .oif Atlantic Ocean, between Ne# Fort, Washington, and Kent Co’s. ItitlHrppBSed B tRrfibtfir25 miles in length, and varies from 3 to 12 miles in breadth; it affords to the Rhode Is lander fish, oysters aud clams, beside pleasant yachting of every kind. Among*the things of interest are the celebrated shore, or dam bakes realey dinner enough for 50 cts. to last one person a week. I met a lady that sat an half hour at a table, and after devouring clams, baked fish, and clam cakes, chowder, sweet potatoes, corn pickles, bread, crackers, watermillon, Roman punch, and about 1 pint of 3 per ct. beer, filled' two pockets, and carried oft a big touch in her handker cheif; as was said' by a gentleman from the country, "feuch a sight I nev er did see before.” Weil I must say 1 have no reason to Complain. When 1 came here on June 24th my church was $1400 in debt and Aug. 30th we paid $500 of the indfcbiness we now have but $900, Bishop Heod requested that I get half the amount this • year; but with the help of God 1 shall get all off aud be ready at .he next conference to go and help some ohe else, as It eeems to be my calling to asdst churches in fi nancial struggles. ; • ; : * We are now preparing to fight the $900 on Nov.8th wiM bathe nextdny of battle. I trust imder God to be able to say to the readers of the Star that Goepee street A. M. E. Zion shurch of Providence Si frOe. Respectfully » N. J. QUeen. THE LAST ON THE SUBJECT ?v -».> a • After a silence of nearly a year an the “Organic Union” subject, we did not give our reasons why there would be no Union, though we promised to do so. We prepared the article and reviewed it it looked as il we were grapling with indentions and actions yet in embryo, and fdr/this might be put down, as hinting a reckless fa natic.' But had th* t article ‘appeared the positive declaration that it was a cuntoirig attempt at engulfment of our church arid that fey the very brother who turned up as the adder in the grass, could not have been truer had ah angel furnished'the information. We hold that the entire affair was beneficial to our church. It enabled us to put all the technical and con troverted questions of our church to our African brethren in such a fair light that their bravest men honestly eonoeaea an we nave ever claimed and that it-cannot heisaid hereafter that the blame *ot uniting rests upoo us. And Resides this* they nev er knew before that w$ had so many voung Irish with so miffeh backbone. This has always been one o^arir speaks of righteous ambition that wn are able and are playing our part in the evangelization of the world. Put it down African brethren will never a gain take our men tor grass hoppers. We believe in fraternal «Uuion” when it results from pure motives, and the only way to have such a*Union”)is to force men to it by demonstrating our claims of equality and independence oft he fraternal ~Unionhpr6priB*i to he of such a nature as to recognize our Buboes as Bishop* then we feel oumdvmbound to respect but if (* it has been in the past) we shall haveno time to hypocritically waste in that way- We th*nk upon the whole, Zion leaped whatever benefit* *tew owt of this “Union” overture.
