C We have recently returned from:, a. visit to- this beautiful little ; country town.V The object of our visit was to attend the nineteenth: Annual Meeting of the Beulah Baptist Associationr which ' was held en the 13th of August with the Ephesus . church, whose meeting house is ahout 12 miles front Milton. We left our home on the morning of - the 9th, and soon reached the quiet little town of Henderson, where-we left the cars. The Raleigh . and. Gaston Railroad over which we passed, has been completed to FranklinUm a distance of more cthan' 60 - miles from Gaston. The? new road cannot be too highly KKtispd WhpTi rnmnlftted if will not be ' surpassed Kv nv in the United States-. , At Henderson,, some j "J. , 40.or more miles from Raleigh. an exchange of cars is'made. No other change is made until the train reaches. Petersburg, Cars mn daily from Hender son to Petersburg. ' On Tuesday we took the stage for Milton, passing through the- towns of Oxford, Roxboro and Leesburg. The Baptist Female Col lege at Oxford is in a? flourishing condition. '.We did not have an opportunity of visiting the College, hut learned by inquiring, that the number of r pupils at present in the Institution,, is between 40 and 50 Oxford is very pleasantlyx situated and very neatly laid out containing many handsome private residen ces. The College occupies a commanding position Dear the Baptist church- which its builders have had the good taste to locate in the town and not in" some out of the way corner, unseen and unknown; ,; ; ,c - At Leesburg there-is a flourishing female school under-Methodist influence:. In speaking of this lit tle town,- may; we ln permitted to remark, that-there we met with an instance of kindness rarely bestow pA nnon ns bv the keepers oft hotels-. . An excellent dinner wasroroptly prepared, at which the intelli gent lady'of ; the landlord presided -with grace and dignity, and for. which all compensation was "deci dedly refused: We afterwards learned that the gentleman 'is a member of the Methodist church. We did not see any bar in his hous, and therefore presume that he keeps a Temperance house. At any rate we hope that this is the case? . Al Roxboro we :. passed a withia two miles of -s thei 'residence of -our highly esteemed brother Stephen Pleasantr who will long be remembered as the one . wdfo first resppaied'itohe appeal in behalf.of -the N. C. Baptist Mission House." VVe hope-before brother P!easant.is called hone, he will have the pleasure of khowihg that N. C.'Baptists have contribtrted the entire amount necessary to the erection of the build- esteemed brother James, whose residence is not far from the meeting house. The labors of brother Ji in behalf of the Oxford College necessarily take him away from home very frequently, yet he is enabled occasionally to preach at Ephesus. We were pleas ed to meet in social intercourse with brethren James, Devin, Mills, Dodson, and others, whose names, though not mentioned here, will not be soon forgot ten by us. J- . Our sincere thanks are due to the brethren who so kindly'and efficiently aided in increasing the circu lation of the Recorder. We brought home quite a list of j new subscribers, and received promises that efforts should be made . greatly to extend this list. One brother offered to be one of a hundred to obtain ten new subscribers, within a'specified time.' Other brethren made most earnest and effective speeches in relation to the subject, closing with a valuable prac tical application. VVe have returned from this visit highly pleased and greatly encouraged to redouble our diligence in advancing the cause of our blessed Lord and Master. - ' The sermons preached by the brethren before the Association; and to the audience under the arbor, were well calculated to do good, and we doubt not exerted a - most happy - influence upon those who heard them. - " " The school of brother McDowell in Milton is in a most flourishing condition, y We hope .that he will lon retain his present Assistants; a we are satis fied that their labors in connection with his own will not fail to prove eminently beneficial to the commu nity . , ' - --- . . The . school of brother- Henson, - preparatory ; to Wake Forest, College, has succeeded thus far much better than was anticipated. It was feared that a sufficient amount of patronage would not be bestow ed upon jt'As a teacher brother Henson is popular, and his labors : bid " fair to be properly appreciated by the community We know, that he has a good school, and we hope he may have a targe one. - We were much pleased with the location of Mil-U ton. Around it in everv direction is scenery well calculated to delight the eye of the painter and poet. Many years will piss away before we forget our delightful visit there. and tha pleasant meetine of the Beulah Association. : ' ' - - The prospect in respect to the crops now is that we shall have an abundant harvest. ! A" gentleman in the cars stated that it is thought that there will be three times the quantity of corn raised this year, that was raised last year. , I , , -' We hope that our brethren will not forget the source from whence these abundant blessings are derived. We shall look for increased contributions in every department of benevolent enterprise.5 'Free ly ye hare received," said our Savior, 'freely give. 4 .

Any. one who is acquainted with bis present local ity, will please inform the editor of the paper.' , materially to differ from him. One of L.2 most im portant elements of a religious spirit is humility. In this quality, I roust acknowledge yidens' commu ni.tinn kerned to me sadly defective. I knew Vi- dens too; (though his anonymous signature left me at liberty not to know him in me aiscussion , auu gave me the advantage of saying things, . which though I should not have said, if he had signed his name to his communicaUon 1 Wudk neverineiess were important to have been said.) I knew him to be a young man, of pretentions to piety, and talents not exceeding those of many: other young men. I cherish to Videns T- however, (bating the imperfec tions of a sinful nature) no other feelings than those of fraternal kindness. I complain not that he should entertain opinions of his own, or claim the right of vindicating them, ; I should be pleased (if it could be done in a somewhat different manner) to discuss with him any religious question. . But Solomon says, there isa time for all things;, and therefore I sup pose a time to learn, as well as a time to teach t and however fncapable I myself, may be of assuming the office of teacher, either to Videns or others he lias been associated with those, by whose instructions he might profit, if he would.: . One lesson, et least, I beg leave in conclusion to recommend to him. in the full conviction both of its truth and its value. - It is this. A MAN ' MUST, LEARN BEFORE ; HE 'CAN TEACH." . . W7 H.J..

My services were secured last winter; to preach at this place. On my arrival, I. found no , convenient house of worship except a gin house,. which we fit ted up until warm weather, when the citizens' erect ed a large board arbor, in a beautiful grove, where I have preached several times. Ou Friday before the first Sabbath in the present month,. I commenced a protracted meeting.. On Saturday brother- Seago came to my assistance,' and with some occasional help from our Methodist and Presbyterian brethren, we continued the meeting eleven days. - It. resulted in the conversion of.20 or 25 souls j" about 30 others enquiring what they should do to be saved. Five were baptized four more '- received for baptism. Near the close of - the ' meetingi : a, proposition was made to build a church and the. sum of $400 - was subscribed in a few mi mites, which has since been swelled to considerably over thatamount." We' e- peft to have an excellent house built and .a .church constituted soon.

Aware that the nature of the raoe wm. ratf lated to provoke aspefity-and desious that the Re corder should assuroe an elevated character for' its christian spirit and dignity I was disposed for these particular reasons, as well as far others "more gener al, to guard my communication against an unneces sary and improper severity."
