Most of tlie Missionary and Confer
ence collections are yet to be taken up.
It is very desirable that these collections
be made as large as possible. 1 lie
money will be sorely needed. Kxcniji-
tion from the scourge of the yellow lever,
eeneral good health, bountiful crops,
pence and harmony in our nation, are all
so manv powerful motives to urga our
pen de to make liberal contributions to
the Lord. Giving to the Lord ought to
burst from the hearts of Christians as
free as water from its mountain sp ring
head. Hut it doe-not come thus freely.
Men have to be 2i,rsuaded in this good
work have to be stirred up. Their
fountain of benevolence is sometimes fro
zen, therefore some warmth is neces
sary to melt and make it tlow freely.
Therefore, it becomes the duty of the
pastors either by sermon, .address, or ex
hortation, to put their congregation in
a yioitxj mood before they proceed in
the collection. The preacher, who
shakes the tree of benevolence hardest,
w ill pick up the most golden apples. In
our wav of thinking there is no hour of
the ministerV lite so burdened with the
weight of responsibility as ihe hour o!
taking up a Missionary collection. We
see the conversion of heathen souls in
it. It is right hole that, tlie lever of
tuniine the world from darkness to the
sun of righteousness i- put in his hand.
Let, then, the nni available means be
U-ed to swell the collections.

One of the most beaut iiui things ,.n
this earth is to see a Church growing,
prospering, blooming .and bearin.jr the
rich f i ii it of the Spirit. Churches have
their law- of growth like many other
thiims. The piosperitv of one church
and the declension
tuother are not
matters ,.f chance. There are always
good reasons for the prosperity of one,
and the decline of .another. NX e see on
the same Circuit one particular church
growing and another not live miles ufi
declining. What i tin matter? What
makes the difference-? They both be
l.mg to the same den. nuiiiat ion believe
the same doctrine are under the same
government, and yet they are vastly .lis
similni. The cause of dissimilarity i
easily foiin.!. The prosperous church i

In order that the .salary of the preach

the .stewards will have to be ae

by the proverb "Make hay while tin

period to work in. So the s;ewar.l.s
have but a brief period to work in bo
fore Conference. The sun oj the preach
cr's eeclesiastjeal year has shed it:
morning rays, past the noon-tide point,
is descending rapidly towards the
setting horizon. Hardly two more
rounds on the circuit, and your pastor
will have to close up and start ior the

a hard year's work preached to the
best of his .ability, prayed earnestly for
you, your wives ami children. The

Of the many Biographies of distin
gninhed ministers of the Methodist
Church, not one of them has been, or
ever w ill be, read with more interest
than will be the Biography of the saint
ed Marvin. The author had a grand
subject the material ample, rich and
full. If tiie few chapters we have read
are a fair specimen of the book, we pro
nounce it very good, and say to the au
thor, wi:i.i. donf.! On the personality of
Bishop Marvin, the author gives the
following striking incident:
"InlSoO Brother Marvin traveled
(he Monticcllo Circuit. During the
year a Canipbclite preacher. b the
'name of I'.rown. visited Monticcllo and
delivered a number of di.- oiir-es on
the distinctiv e features of the current
reformation.' Among others was a
discourse upon Christian I'liion. iu
w hich he urged till Christian people to
east away ail distinctive w ritten creed
and unile upon the Bible. If tin-re
were differences of opinion, n.-doubtless
there were, let tho-e differences In
held as private properly, and b-f all
unite on the Bible. The people were
out to hear him. ihe bouse w a crow d
ed ; many Methodists were there, and
among them was Marvin. Tiie ,-ermoii
w as closed with an earnest appeal, and
all were invited to unite upon the Bi -blc.
The first one to move w as Broth
er Marvin, lie went deliberately for
ward. The congregation were ama
ze I. The Metlioli-ts were well nigh
in a slate of consternation : and the ill
siipprcssed whisper was heard all over
the house. 'Is Brother Marvin going to
leavens? The pre.-ichcr met Marvin
halfway up the ai-Ie. and gra-ping
his hand. said. I am glad to meet you.
lirother Marv in : I am glad to meet
vou." Marvin .-aid. I have listened to
you attentively to-night ; I believo un
ion a good thing, and. if your plan is
pracf ieable. it may be desirable." Af
ter a few moments tlie preacher in
quired of Marvin when if would suit
bin: to in1 baptized. II-1 replied. "I
have been baptized by elfiision.' 'But.
Brother Marvin." said the preacher,
cll'ii-ion is not liapti-tn." -Brollies
Brow ii." sabl Marvin . 'you may believe
it i- not. but 1 beli.oe it i-. This is a
mere difference of opinion. Thi dif
ference we will hold as private proper
ty and unite on the Bible." The
preacher was evi lently embarrass !,
and at length said. 'Brother Marvin,
we can not receive you unless you will
consent to be baptized." -Can not re
ceive me," -aid Marvin." unles- I will
consent t be baptized? I tell you I
have been baptized. I oine upon your
own invitation to meet you upon the
Bible, holding our differences of opin
ion as private properly : and lo. I find
on full three feet in .Jordan .'" Mar
vin then announced to the audience
that having listened to the discourse
he was satisfied that the plan of union
proposed was impracticable, ami b--bail
chosen that method of exposing it.
He then challenged Mr. Brow n to dis
cuss with him the questions at issue
bet ween t hem. which challenge was
declined, and Mr. Brown left. All
this is said to have -eurred in flu

We trasfer this ?rticle to our column
from the Xew York Advocate. It w ill
be read with interest by many who
love eamp-meetings, bccau.se of their
untold value to the Church :
"Another ha'-vest has passed. Its
work is sealed for the day of God. Tlie
Church has used the timehotiored
agencies for the carrying forw ard of tin
Master's kingdom, and the Master li;
again honored the means w ith his bless
ing. Judged by the reports that come
to our office, and are reported through
the press at large, the camp-meetings ol
this summer have been more numerom
and more generally attended, and havt
secured larger harvests of souls than we
have observed for years.
l ne .uvcisnv u views on tins subiect
is not so great as in former years. Ther
are men who feci called upon to criticise
every thing in the Church which they
thcmselves have not done or originated
These men have spasms of holy horror
over camp-meetings in general, and over
each camp-meeting in particular. Thev
only say tiiat it is a great waste of ef
fort for a very small result. Thev
would hardly be able' to show that anv
effort put forth in the name of the Mas
ter was wasted. 1 he effect, may not be
in shape to be crowded into statistical
lists, but that does not disprove their
existence. By far the greater part of
God's work is preparatory work. There
are many months of obscure labor be
fore the one day of graduation. The
great campaigns may have large results
that are not catalogued. Certainly it is
not competent for one, with only a
partial view of the ease, to say that tin
results do not justify the expenditure of
effort. These people would object to
the waste of the precious ointment poni
ed on the head of Jesus.
Horace Mann, looking over a State
institution for the cure of inebriates, was
told that only one man had been saved
by the institution that year, an.l that it
had cost too much for one man. He
replied, "Xot too much if that one were
my son." Those whose souls or sons
have been blessed at these meetings are
the only competent witnesses. There
are others who object to eamp-meetings
lieeailse other Churches sneer at them.
It should be remembered that if sueerin.'
were a valid argument, then Methodism
itself lias no right to exist. If we wait
till other Churches approve our methods
or our Methodism, we will w ait till some
more aggressive
ipk
raised up to
take our place.
I lie disputes
about Sunday trains
of the Sabbath are
as usual. In main
and the sanctity
about as warm
places the opinions of last year have
been reversed. Letting sinners and the
gospel come together is an old Metho
dist movement: hut speculating on the
trallie of others on tlie Sabbath can
hardly show as good authority. Some
lay, when tlie question becomes a liviii"
one, we have some convictions to im...-
At present we will content ourselves
with joining in tlie general thankfulness
for the almost universal success of the
encampments this .summer.
1 hese harvests involve certain duties.
Some preacher is responsible for the cul
ture of each soul converted or awakened
at these meetings. It is not enough to
secure tlie conversion of a sinner. That
is, indeed, an infinite work; hut it must
be followed up with good instruction.
I hese babes must be nursed and fed on

We hail every sign of new life in the

opportunities, w e .need now to crystallize
our converts into active workers on the

Rev. ( J. W. Ivy .sends us some inter
esting items from Rock Spring Circuit.
We take the liberty ol publishing the
letter in part. Bro. Ivy, it will be seen,
has his own peculiar views on the sub
ject of publishing revival notices:
"1 have just held a meeting ol unusual
power and success at Bchoboth, which
is said to have been the first Methodist
Church established west of the Catawba
River. There were two families who came
from Virginia and settled in this com
munity by the name of -lacksoii and
Harwell, the Jackson family lias become
extinct, the other is numerously rep re
seiited There art! some preachers out
west by the same name, of the same
connection. Bishop Asbury has.picach
ed at this Church. Daniel Asbury
lived in tin's county, and the Bi,shop in
his lours wnuhlstop and rest ami preach;
the last time he preached he did it sit
ting. But to tin; meeting; there has
been no revival at this Church lor many
years. It one of the best communi
ties in Catawba county, and a good
membership in many respects, but not
at all delnoiistrati '. Fast year 1 had
a line revival at Bethel: iifty-seven were
converted, only four miles from this
('lunch. L then made an ell'ort to have
a meeting at Rehoboth, but failed to
have any special interest. This sum
mer I thought I could see a little cloud,
hardly as large as that seen by the
Prophet's servant. 1 told a brother 1
saw it. The third Sunday was my teg
ular appointment a lew drops of spirit
ual raiu fell. I appointed meeting for
night; that night five were converted.
We then went on untii tin; next Suielay
night. I then .suspended until to-night.
I will go buck again sixty-four have
made a profession, not guessed at. At
ihe close of the service 1 called up those
converted to stand up and thus teil their
owo title. 'f thai number about twenty
are heads of families, from twenty-five
to sixty years of age. Some of them had
been in the Church for years, but were
not converted. Fast Sunday I received
forty into the Church, a number of very
nice young men among them. I have
not had a revival notice published for
manv year-: .luring thai time I have
h.-nl many. In the year 'OH two hun
dred and twenty-seven made a profess
ion on the Lenoir Circuit, but I said
nothing about it iu the Church papers.
Last year one hundred and fourteen pro
fessed on my Circuit in one month. I
said nothing. Perhaps you would like
to know my reason. Well it seemed to
me that many of the notices 1 saw was
a flourish of trumpets. After speaking
of this and that, one who acted a con
spicuous part, they usually wound up
by saying to "God be all the glory." It
seemed to me that the V:rgiu dip had
;i.il been distributed, and God only got
the scrape, so I rn.it the whole thing. 1
may have been erring."

Mit. l a. i ron : In the last liihlicol Re
corder, Dr. I. quotes the most of my
ariiele in denunciation of v-n flirty at
other denominations, recently published,
and comments: : that lie sincerely esteem
ed me. That, as an apostle of peace, I
am a failure. And wishes the Metho
dists mould let the Baptists love them
more.
To which I reply :
1. I have alwavs highly esteemed Di
Pritchard, from the limited knowledge I
had of him, and hence the surprise and
provocation to use strong language in
reply, when from his pen I read tin
Jliny at olher denominations. If then
is anything 1 cordially hate it is this
wicked denominational si rife; and this
ought to end it. Shall it ?
'1. I do not profess to be an a post!
oi false tieacc. Peace, so-called, l not
alwavs a christian virtue. Christ came
not to semi peace on the earth, but
sword. Peace must be properly condi
tioned, or it is no peace. Dr. Pritch
aid is somewhat like the Bible charac
ter who, throwing firebrands and ar
rows of death, a.-ks "am I not iu sport?''
Hold still, and let me thrust, you tbioitg
with a i.lart ! 1 heg to say that 1 want
no such peace.
'. Methodists, as much as ot he
love wualever snows Use! I lovely. Ilow
does Dr. P. know that Methodists do
not love th; Baptists. To quote his
favorite author, Josh Billings, "It is
better for a man not to know so much,
than to know so many things that aint
so!" If "consistency in their princi
pies require l.aptists everv no and
then, to insult others by unnecessary
f iitts at tlieir doctrines, what are we to
!. in the way of loving them, but to
leiiotince the sin ?
Lastly : 1 challenge any one to show,
that in preaching or writing, I have ever
attacked other denominations, or said a
word to hurt others and provoke bad
feeling.

have gone on longer, but bail to pitch

two hundred ami eighty professions of
faiib in Christ, and additions on this

Rev. J. W. Lewis writes from Thoni
asville. Sep. L'Ist :
"Our meet iug at Liberty. Salisbury
Circuit, embracing the :5rd quarterly
meetiiig.aiid the dedication of our new
church, was a good success. We held
eight days had fifteen converts, most
of w hom joined the church. Tim week
following I commenced another at
Belhpage, and after three days, broke
down with internment fever, and have
been confined ever since. I am now
improving and hope to start out the
last of next week."'
Rev. W. B. Manrss writes from Otter
Cieck. Sept. F.Mh, and says:
"I have been ba ving some interesting
meetings on this work. I have held
four protracted meet ings. I held one
at Ready Patch, embracing the 1st Sun
day in August, which resulted in seven
or eight conversions, and ten access
ions : eight by bapiisinby pouring, and
one from the Missionary Baptist
Church, and one from the Presbyterian
Church. Antioch Church was burnt'
down by an incendiary, and Ave are
erecting a new and more commodious
one not far from its ashes, in the frame
of which we held our quarterly meet
ing last Saturday and Sunday, brother
Nelson, our Presiding Elder, being
present, and preached two capital ser
mons. His sermon on Sunday was en
joyed liucly by the large and apprecia
tive congregation and created quite a
sensation. I have subscriptions started
lo build three more new churches. One

Rev. R. F. Bumpass, writing from
Rock Spring under date of Sept. 2:!ri
says :
"We have just closed ourcamp meet
ing at Phillip s Chapel, after nine day
continuance. Thirty-live professed faith
in Christ. 1-ro. Cuniunggiui was w
as and preached, 'not with untirin
words of man's wisdom, but iu demon
strati hi of the spirit and of power.
Bro. X. A. Thompson rendered efficient
service. Lro. Mebane, of the Fresh vte
rian church, was with us two day
J lie latter part ot tlie meeting, an evan

7'he Lord was with us. We had
good time. May the fruits be seen many

Since the yellow fever has turned
many black leaves in the daily history
of manv ot the Southern cities, I hav
felt grateful to know that throughout
the North ami South there litis been sue!
an exhibition of human sympathy as to
give the sulferers material aid. I her
is a lesson for you lor me for all t
learn hy this scourge that no man
liveth to himself." 1 am "my brother's
keener." Sometimes I must watch
while he prays ami help him when he
is weak, and 1 am strong. "What
could ye not watch with me one hour?'
This was uttered when the humanity
of Christ was "sorrowful even unto
leath" and he expected the Apostles
to watch at th' gate. He was astonish
ed lo find them asleep. I learn from
this that all of us need human sympa
thv - but we need it more in times of
trouble. The church needs it flu
ministry needs it. In short, we all need
more genuine Christian sympathy. The
success of any individual is largely in
proportion to the interest others take in
linn. Let a young man leel that no
body takes an interest in him, and he is
ruined. W e must take an interest in
each other. I believe in hearty good
cheers and grand huzzas for the despoil-
tent and care-worn, and genuine hell
and encouragement to the weak and fall
en, ilow manv give up when darkness
comes in their sky and the dark waves
of trouble break over them -just for the
want ot encouragement sympathy
help. Truly yours,

THE (II FT OK SONG.
A touching story is told of a little
girl sent bv her parents from Spam, du
ring a time of religions pcrsecul mu
there, to take refuge with some liiends
in England. The vessel was lost on a
rock bound coast, during a severe storm;
but the little girl was saved througu
the efforts of some heroic men. She
was too young to tell her story, hut by
a series of 'providential .-vents, was
hi ought at last to the house of a friend
of her parents, just as, released from im
prisonment, they arrived iu England, to
seek tlieir long-lost darling. A familiar
tune, that the mother ha.Uaught to her
little girl iu former days, became the
clew that led to their joyful meet
ing. A remarkable incident is that of a
Scotch youth, w ho h-ar I w ith a pious
motherto sing the old psalms, that were
as household words to them in the kirk
and by the fireside. When he grew up,
he wandered away from his native
country, was taken captive by th' Turks,
and made a slave in one of the Barbarv
States. But he never forgot the songs
of ion, although he sung them in a
strange hind, and to heathen ears. One
night he was solacing himsel1' in this
manner, when the attention of some
sailors on board of an English nian-ot-
war was directed to the familiar tune of
"Old Hundred," as it came out over tlie
moonlit waves. At once they surmised
the truth, that one of their countrymen
was languishing .away his life as a cap
tive. (Quickly arming t henisei ves, t hey
manned a boat, and lost no time in ef
fecting his release. What a joy t him,
after eighteen long yens passed iu slave

BISHOP PIKRCE.
Just as w. are going to press we re
ceived the following From Dr. Pierce,
which we publish w ilh pleasure :
Di.ak BioiiiiKi: I'.riiKr. : As his anxi
ous friends will like to know exactly
how he is, 1 give them this information.
He left us yesterday morning, for his
Kentucky Conference, which open- to
morrow the 1Mb, at Shelby ville, where
lie expected to arrive this morning. He
was greatly improved in general health,
believed himself perfectly .able to hold
Conference, an.l that being at someth
ing would increase his colivalescnee. His
throat difficulty was no better. He will
not attempt to preach as things now
stand. He is laboring under difficulty
in respiration, which forbids preaching.
While 1 ;im as anxious, as feat ful, as
now a father might be I ' could not in
terpose any valid objection to his going
on the ground of physical inability.
Let us pray for him and his work.

SALOOX STATISTICS.
The following statistics are said to he
correct; if they are, Cincinnati certainly
takes the lead in drinking : "Xew
York, with a population approximating
1,(MX,0IM), has 5, Tilt) saloons, or one to
every 1 To inhabitants. Chicago, with
nearly 5110,000 population, has about
2,000 saloons, or one to every 2-")0 in
habitants. Boston, with oOO.OOo in
habitants, has only 1,200 saloons, or
one to CVCiy 250 inlibitnnt. Cincin-
imt;, wit.li Jo.",0(.i0 j population, has 2,
100 saloons, or one lo every 107 inhabi
tants. I'hiladelphia shows, with a pop
ulation of about S00,000, 2,700 saloons,
or one to every 21fli inhabitants. Balti
more leads ..If iu having with a popula
tion of S0ii,iMj!i, :!,ihi'o saloons, or a
drinking place for every 150 of its pop
ulation." We do not wonder that in
view ol this statement the sober and
Christian people of Cincinnati are
alarmed.
EVIL SPEAKING.
If there is such a thing ns a mutual
obligation among ministers, th.at obliga
tion is to preserve .and defend, if need
be, the good name of a brother. "He is
a very good preacher, hut " lias blight
ed t he prospects, shattered the hopes and
destroyed the usefulness of many a de
serving servant of the Master. Touch
ing niinislei ia! character, use plainness
ot speech and never hesitate at the name
ol a brother, unless he deserves or has
been adjudged a, proper subject of dis
cipline. Shame on the minister, wh
can find it in his In-art to speak light
of his fellow laborer iu his Master'
vineyard. 7iV.
One of the Catholic journals make
merry over "Yellow Jack chasing the
ministers." We do not know of a single
case in w hich a Methodist pastor has
abandoned his people. W e do know o
martyr-like devotion by Methodist pas
tors to their sull'ering people. We. shall
never forget th. simple earnestness o
Edward II. Myers when he left us to go
home to die iu Savannah, lie ha.stene
away from work here, saving, "J must
be with my alilicted Church." It is
scarcely in good taste for our Catholic
friends to boast themselves at our ex
pense. l'rotestant ministers know how-
to face pestilences with single-hearted
courage; and for one w ho fails there are
ten thousand who imitate the devotion
of Edward II. Mvers. iVI Y. Metho
