Unfortunately I was troubled with one of my miserable sick headaches, and thus missed several . of the best meetings held last week in Richmond in the interests of the Baptist Publl, cation Society.: The readers of the Recorder will lese nothing on that account, however, as I shall make free use of the excellent report of Dr. J. WUHanf Jones for the Dispatch. The meeting was called to order at p. m., , Thursday March 20th, by Dr. E. W. Warren, pastor of the 1st Baptist church, and En v. J. W, By land was chosen , Secretary, The pastor of the church where each meeting was held was the temporary moderator,' Among the visitors present were Eev. Dr. George J.. Johnson, mis sionary secretary of the American Baptist Publication Society; Eev. Dr. George W. Anderson, literary editor of the Society Eev. Dr. T. n. Fritcbard, of Ealeigh j Eev. Dr. M. T.

Baton, of Petersburg ; and Bev Dr. Andrew Broadus, of Caroline. Dr. Jeter, who had been detained by sudden sickness, sent down the manuscript of the address of wel come he had been appointed to de liver. . . : - : , The address was read by Bev. Dr. "W. B. Hatcher, and was in the hap piest vein of the distinguished au thor. : He cordially ' welcomed the visiting brethren to the homes and hearts of Eichmond Baptists, and expressed the confident - hope that the meeting would prove both pleas ant and profitable, and would serve to bind. more closely together the great Baptist brotherhood of our common country. . Eev, Dr. C O. Bitting then deliv . ered an admirable address on "The co-operation of all ' the Baptists of the country in the work of our Ame rican -Baptist Publication Society." Dr. Bitting ably argued that as this Society was organized originally at ' V. Qnnld M tmrnmtA t.

Bev. Noah Davis, a Southern man, was Its first Secretary, and Dr. WV T.

Ellyson, Esq.;: Dn Wv WoWsn en1 r- Tim- f W-'l ..-.... followed fn porting .ifhe"tar5pafrsS stated that if anything had ever air peared in the publications of the So ciety offensive to the South, it had . only to be pointed out to be removed; The meeting at irfghtraurhdd at the same place anil was one of mat isey. Dr. Johnson made a deeply Interesting lecture on wOar country and Its, evangelization through ' the work of the American Baptist Pnb- - licadon Society. ; With a large bap he eketched tie past hlstoryreseat . cosstry ia its -pcpulatioai materia condition and wants of the country, the means of its evangelization, and he important part which the Ameri can Baptist Publication Society may and must bear in the work. It was thoughtful, vivid, and valuable picture of our country and its wants. Eev. Dr. T. T. Eaton,., of retera- burg, then reaa a paper on -xue Diffusion of Qux.Denominalional Literature, which was characterized by his usual vigor; of thought and freshness of illustration. - He made the point very sharply that wnile publishers of secular $ literature are careful to furnish the people lust the kind of reading: which they want, the publishers of religious literature must publish s not so much wnat tne people want as what they need, and we must furnish the means of both publishing" and', circulating truth which the . people wouia not eeK after.- - -. -: v BevA. E. Owen followed in a brief but earnest and effective speech, cordially endorsing the pnews ex pressed in the paper. V , --.,, General J. G. Field was the next speaker. He said that he would speak not as an American v citizen, but as an American Bapust, when he cordially, endorsed this Society and its work.- He spoke very earn estly and effectively on the power of the press ancTits importance to the cause of truth. The meeting Friday afternoon was held in the Second church, and pre-' sided over by Dr. Henry McDonald, and it was the privilege of the writer tot advocate the "Better Support of Missions by Baptist Churches." 2fr further mention of this ' speech need be made, as I propose to give its sub stance in a series of articles already begun in the Becobdeb. Dr. T. S. Dunaway followed in an admirable address on "Training the Churches in Beneficence.' He made the points with great force : that the people need to be informed by their pastors as to their duty to give and the objects to which they Bhould give ; that there was greater need of more consecration ot heart and life and property, and that the individ ual responsibility of every professing Christian to give something was earnestly insisted on. The closing speech, by Eev J. T. Craig, ot Baltimore, was a good one, and eloquently argued the. increase of a missionary spirit in the circula tion of Baptist doctrines because ef their unspeakable value to the world. The meeting at night was devoted to the Sunday School Department of the Society, Dr. Charles Manly, Staunton, and Dr. M. T. Sumner, of Alabama, making elaborate and ef fective speeches on the occasion. The meeting Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock was held in the Grace Street Baptist church, and was presided over by Bev. Dr. W. E Hatcher. The first, address was -made by Eev. Dr. Henry McDonald, of the Second Baptist church on the "Bela tions of, Boman Catholicism and the Baptists Their Contrasted Faiths and Our Line of Duty." ' Introduc ing his theme with a pleasing inci- cident of a Catholic priest who once said that the Baptists were H born Protestant heretics , ever- since the days of the Apostles,' he proceeded to state and illustrate some of the points of contrast between the Bap tist and the Bomanist&r.v. io 1. . He maintained .rlhat Boman Catholic faith looks to the Church as the source of all authority and power that all spiritual blessings come. through the Church ) that salvation is throusrh the' Churchrand bnly in the ChuiclU Againsl ihisf he inaiU tisd,x the Baptista hold that each, poor sin ner may come to the cross for himself, and trust in Jesus for himself, 'and T)e jiavea lor nun8eii,.wii,nous. loe inter venuun euuer pnesi or surpucev The BaptisU hold to rflimple faith in Christ as! against the 'doctrine of faith liihB UhnTf aiffiai t f'2b He claiuied as' intner coatrasl cikCtiai wliehe baptists hbiS; that a Church is aibody of baptized believers voluntarily 'Associated to- getnex. tne -itoman' ua-ooucs to be reuuary .cuurca pemiersnip, mat au shonid Ji la vthe JOhnjiiftna j .brought Id by infant baptism j that tley grow iap In tb'CIirch and die in theChurch.' he Bsasts. hold evangelization. The Boman Church has been in its past history, and in its very fundamental doctrines, a persecuting Churcb,which believes in either reclaiming or burning heretics; and he insisted that it was . a mere dodging of the issue to say that the Church does not and never did per secute, but simply " turns over here tics to the civil authority.?. Oh the other band, the, day that a Baptist woold raise a finger to persecute, any man who differs from him, he violates bis fundamental principles and ceases to be a Baptist For himself he would, shoulder his musket and fight a mob which should assail a Catholic cathedral or at tempt in any ..way to interfere ; with their right to worship God according to the dictates of their' own; con science. , ! 1 As to the duty of American Bap, tists, he insisted " that they should yield to no false ideas of "charity," but, catching the .spirit (of that scriptural charitywhich "rejoiceth in the truth," should firmly, though kindly, preach and disseminate their doctrines. .

T. Ea ton, of Petenborg, CoL T. 0. Erans, a dea con of Grace Btreei Chnrch, and the writer, the beantifol.: chamber was formally opened m the gnast chamber of the propheta. I know no one who more cordially lores his brethren in' the ministry or who more delights to extend to them a hearty and affectionate hospitality than Dr. .Hatcher, and his desires in this regard can now be more handsomely realized thsn erer before. All the deacons of the ehotch were present and the ladies show ed their appreciation of their pastors ' senti ment by decorating the room with m&nj ar ticles of their handiwork, The conception of the idea is honorable to Dr. Hatcher, and Is as beantifol aa it is original. .

This gires the college a beautiful lawn towards the city,, and pro tects it from encroachments maud the' hearty sympathies of the Baptists of - the whole country. He hailed the printing press as our great civfliser, and the distribution of the Bible aa the great weapon of the truth He wanted colportage and our 1 Bun- day School work vigorously pushed. He drew a vivid and eloquent picture of the field which now i spreads out before the Baptists of America; and ot the bonds of fraternity which bind them together, and closed with a touching incident which brought tears to many eyes. Dr. McDonald's address was able, eloquent, and pathetic, and made a profound impression on all who heard it ' Eev. C. H. Corey, president of the Eichmond Institute, then made an admirable address on ' The Special NWris :cf this j Work Among the Freed men.' He spoke of the power of the Bible and . of evangelical truth to antagonise socialism, com munism, and kindred errors, and to reduce the grand army of tram pp. He especially urged the need of this work ; among the - freedmen of the South. He gave an exceedingly in teresting account of the work among the colored people of the South. He bore willing testimony to the sympa thy and active co-operation he had received from his white brethren since he had been in Eichmond. ' Dr. Corey'ij upeech made an excel lent impression, and was warmly en dorsed by Drs. Sumner, McDonald, and "Warren- At night Eev. Dr. George J.

It was hearty and warm aad seemed to pervade the whole church, and yet, was most solemn and quiet I One night when a youth, the only child of deacon Henderson lately deceased came up, and gave his hand to the pastor in token of his acceptance of Christ, the renerable Doctor Jeter who seem ed to be enjoying the meeting more than any one else, shook his hand heartily, and said: "Brethren, when this meeting began I pick ed out aa the object of my special prayer this youth, George Henderson, and I hare not gone to God at any time sinoe without asking him to bless this lorely boy, and I am profoundly rejoioed by the confession he has made him to night.
