Contributions and Cor respondence. From Missouri. n ar Ativbfc'ATE: Since the fami v. c ..1 UA "D1:t, brought to mind afresh many other 5 ar faces and fond recollections. In f Ct the 0 d North State, the home f the true and the' brave, is hard to forget, sho lid one be so disposed. As we review the charges once served in the North Carolina Conference many noble souls and abiding friends appear vividly iu the vision. We shall ex pect to greet them on the eternal shores of the great beyond. Nearly f u 3 c us have flitted by since we set foot iu the Wide West. A s'ranger could ; not ask for a warmer welcome than was given by preachers and people. This kindness still con tinues and the Lord has been good to us iu every way. At the last Conference we were un expectedly moved. At the time, we were sorry; now we are glad, for we have the best place for us in all the land. We are happy in the work, satisfied, and delighted. The move caused us to bid adieu to the beautiful prairies and pitch our tent in the hill country of the Ozark range, 25 miles north of Springfield, Mo. Though somewhat rough, the land is fertile, and the rocks, hills, flowing streams and forests of oaks and other varieties of timber give the country very mush the appearance of North Carolina. Here we have found a number of open fireplaces, a thicg we seldom saw on' the prairies. What on earth can beat them for real cheerful ness on a cold, snowy night? Small game abounds, and I have turned boy again in the sport of hunting. Morrisville, our little town, is the seat of Morrisville College, for boys and girls, and belongs to this Confer ence, the Southwest Missouri. While it only claims to rank among the un pretentious schools, yet it has sent out many noble boys and girls to help RALEIGH CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE. WBDNBSDAV, APRIL, 23, iqoa. 4 ...

Deep dyed in the wool. We closed a meeting a week ago that continued 19 days. It was purely Methodistic. The Church worked, prayed, and sang in the Spirit. Sin ners :aaie to the altar aud sought par 3oa on the'r knees. There was con viction and bright, clear-cut conver sions. Even several from Camnbellite families were converted at the altar, students. There is hardly anything more dreadful to the average Camp bellite than the thought oi being con vene! anywhere, and especially at the altar. Their unholy influence against coaversion and experimental religion lias done more to hit der revival work to this country than everything else P'J. together. From the preachers to toe most icrnnrant memh-arc thev npver Jtase to oppose experimental religion. In many places the effect is seen on otaer denominations. Where they thrive, godliness is sure to vane and orldliness prosper. There is but one ay of meeting them and that is the jaitntal preaching of the do:trines of Bible as taught by Methodism ur : we power of the Holy Spirit.
