Mr. iiSt Writ jtytlmt the undersigne 1 wus in Mu Ki iT;t: Some we. k nro, j the habit ol phivin;; card br quoting hum na editnri.il irf tlie fun" wiih his nii-jiiN rs! Another Charlotte I'veiii;ir niimnile itt fills' cluirjrf n the writer not on which reference was ma to the lv never own.I n p vz of oirU undersigned "j.iohibtiioiiiz-r" ol bin never in hi life islnved n "not only liuii:g Ibck l,ut the whole of Watauga county." You nincstly commented tpon the same, vijrorouly though justly jw,atcliinv? from the undersigned biuret and plaoiair them where they belonged, upon the modest pate ol the real heroes. If "Doc tors don't know everything," neither do ftlitors, ns the fob loving prove: Had not his friend Mr. 1) A. Tompkina of the Charlotte Ob server sen thiin a marked copy of The Chronicle, the undersigned would probably not have seen the relerenee to 'Dr Savage the Prohibitionizer of Watauga" nor would he have had the opportu nity, of which the undersigned tooK ail vantage, to disclaim the honor publicly accorded him, bo ping that his friend, Editor Har ris, would eonxH't the error, but a reply from the editor of The Chronicle showed that he "stuck to his text" and believed in the infallibility of editors as a class, ol which erroneous impression his mind was not disabused until rweiving lrom the undersized an "I told you eo" in the form of a clipping from the Democrat, relerenee ti which has already been made in this article. As you t orrectiy stated in your editorial, the undersigned "took uo active part" in the campaign for prohibition, not being a slump speaker, but, fearing lest a wrong impression result from your earnest plea lor "honor to hom honor is due," the under signed desires to state here that though he took no "active', part in the campaign, yet, ho not only cast his vote for Prohibition, but strongly advised "'on the-fem ers" to conMdei', as Episcopal Bishop Strange said at the mass meet mg of men in Wilmington just be fore the election: "The question at is not 'shall we have Local Option, or II igli licence, or Pro hibition,' but sh,d we have Pro hibition or the Saloon?" praying tor God's blessing upon the elec tion, behoving that as the Good Book says, ''It God be for us. who can be against us!'' The undersigned is not a Ti'in perance Lecturer, though he preaches temperance from the pulpit, and tries, in his humble way to live a temperate life, not eyeu "taking a little wine for the stomach's sake," as St Paul, the great advocate of ''moderation iu all things" advis-'d Timothy to do, but goes even further and would expel from the Public Rea ding Rooms u!l papers that pub lish liquor advertisements. This is not written in a spiiit of bravado," but by way of de fence, tor there are already too many of the laity ready to criti cise the ministry, attributing to them wrong motives, as the fol lowing goes on to how: The undersigned has been in formed that a report has gone the rounds to the effect that he took a photograph of an "excep tionally poor and ragged family" their tumbled down log cabin as a back ground for the group, and sent this "interesting" pic ture up North to "show how the people of Western North Caroli na live." The truth is, the under signed never took a picture in his life, never had taken the pic ture of a group ol that sort, and never sent North, E st or West any picture to show anybody in the world how anybody else in the world lives, In this connection let mo cite one more instance. Last spring a report got abroad iu Ashe'.couu- iume of cards, not even neder MaudiiiiT the game, his father hi .-Inir been an I'liiseoiml minis- ler of the old-Iasliiuii' d tvpe who would have b'-en as much sur prised and shocked to find a pack of cards on the parlor ta ble as to see a rattle su ike coil ed in the noddle of Mie lloor! Mr. Ivlitor.tlieun leis'giie.i bus liyed in this lienutiful region for nine yearn, and is a devoted friend of these iioble-heurled peo ple of the bill country, "T h e brave Highlanders of the Appa lachians," as our beloved Bishop Ili.iner, the champion of the mountain people rails them, and has none but good words to ea of them, but he deplores the fact that we of the ministry of the hill country arc not bound to gether in closer lies ns Brethren in a common cause, Disciples of a common Lord, and he suggests here and now the organizing of a "Society ol the Messengers of the Prince of Peace" to meet once a month at the county seat, not for public debate, nor for discus sion ot the differences between us, but in earnest Prayer and Praise to God for sendiug His Son to die for sinners, a ad in binding us with eveu closer ties than tliosu now holding ma together an 1 as, not only workers in the same harvest Field, hut brothers in the same great Family, having a common caue at heart, not "whose Denomination shall be the strongest in the county," but "shall Jesus or Satan get the lar gest number of sinners." Hoping to hear from other Brethren of tha ministry and of the Laity on this subject, and with apologies for taking up so much space in your valuable pa per, 1 am an humb-e servant of God and His people everywhere.

"Our country has been signally favored in many ways. The round of seasons have brought rich harvests. Our industries have thriven far beyond our do mestic noods; the proLietiom of our labor are dally finding en lurgd markets abroad. We have been free from curse? of pes tih-nce, of famine, of war. Our national councils have furthered the caue of peace in other lands and the spirit of benevolence has brought us in touch with other eople, to the strengthening of the bonds of fe!lowhip nns good will that link us to our comrades in t' universal brotherhood of narions. Strong in ti e sense ol our own right and inspired by as strong u sense of the rights of others, we live iu oeace and har mony with the world.

That the great privileges we en joy may continue, aud that each (Mining year may see our coun try more firmly established in the regard an I esteem of our fel low nations is the prayer that should arise in every thaaklul heart. ' Wherefore, I William Howard Tuft, President of the United St.ites of America designate Thursday, the 30th of Novem next, as a day of thanksgiving and prayer, and I earnestly call upon my countrymen and all that dwell und rthe flag of our beloved country then to meet in their accustomed places ol wor ship to join in offering prase to Almighty God and give devout thanks for the loving merci-s He has given to us.

Met hodinni has been one of the ' strongest moral and religions for ceH in this fo'intry sine" the first preachers of that ilenonrnation ' wt foot oil these shores ouehun- ' died and loity-t wo years ago. It was a new religion with a'l the strength nnd fei ver of the oldest cults that bad drilled into a for malism out of touch with the Mir:de faith ol the fidier-folk and 1 1 ie i r Royal Master who brought liberty into life aud filled the! earth with tiieghjry of God. ft took hoi I of the iaiagia uioa of men, it established the brot'.er-j hood of the human race, it broke' down the partitions th.it had; been bui't up between the nitis andtheclasses.it took account ol Ihe soul rather than of the person, of the spiritual necessi ties of men rather than of their pedigree, ami denying some of the doctrines that had hi en re garded essential by other denom- in. ifi-' is, it .accounted the grace of God sufficient for th.; salva tion of Ilis children. Theie is much theology among the Methodists which many oth er Christians do not accept, und which it would be vain to dis cuss in these columns; but that this church is divinely ordained and that its work bus been bless ed by Heaven is proved by the tremendous fact th;it theie. are today in the world more thanj nineteen million Methodists.

In IS9 A the church property in this Con ference was $071,090; now it is worth $1,903,979. As the Church has grown rich in res Mircvs and powerful in numbers and strong iu all the elements of influence it has grown also in gruce. There is a wide field for the work ol the Church in this and all lands, and the Church is fill ing it. With a highlyj educated ministry, grea.t schools and col leges and universities, n weil or-j dered system of government and 1 ihousands of earnest workers in the affairs of the connection and a superb spirit of loyultv to the distinctive principles which Meth-: odium represents, there is no measure that can be placed upon the growth of this magnificent army of the Lord.
