JURY LIST THE ANTI'FLY CRUSADE 1... WHERE IS BOB PEELE CHO WAN ASSOCIATION RECOLLECTIONS OF FORMER MEETINGS DIVISION INTO "EAST ANDt WEST CHOWAN BACK AGAIN AFTER THIRTY YEARS BRIEF NOTES ON THE SESSION OF THIS WEEK." The first session of this' old . Association that" - I .re member r',was at my : home church, Mt. Carniel, in the year 1859. ( was only six years old, but it wa one of the events that . bave , never in seed out of my memory." There were sixty-nine delegates who stop ped at my father's house, 'seventeen o'.' whom were preachers. "- The prep erUion for the occasion began weeks 1 efore, and we children talked of lit tle else till It came. And a long time after it went,' we reverted to it with , many pleasant recollections. The great preachers present were A M. Poindexter and William Hill Jordan. Young as I was, the Interest those great men and other visitors of the association took in me and the oilier children made it one of the i.nst inspiring occasions of my life. It must have been soon after this when I first remember giving my heart to Christ. I dared not tell any bedy about It, because I thought I was too young to think or talk about such-things The next great ' meeting was in 1883, . when the Association divided into the East and West Chowan. The )ii. event, as I saw it, in this meet ing of the Association was the pres- nce of David Wells Herring and R. T. Bryan, who had been appointed missionaries to the foreign field. The missionary enthusiasm and the spir itual uplift of hte meeting have nev er faded from my memory. Another &rt at event in this meeting to me I was the presence of Ellas Dodson, who shook my soul from center to clicumference as he preached on the U xt, "There, was a great cry in Egypt, for there was not a home in which' there was not one dead." I think I can give the outline of his srmon. "If in this community the first bom In every house were dead I: would be talked around that there Is great cry In the Harrelsville com munity because there is not a house 1h which there is not one dead. If in Hertford county, the first born in eery house were dead it would be satid that there is a great cry In Fertfordfor there is not a house in hlch there Is not one dead." The speaker went on until he embraced the United States, and then compar ing the United States and Egypt, he brought the desolation home to our heart in a most vivid manner. He then gave the population of the 1 BETSEY? VISITS luathen world, and said that there was a great cry in every house, not Only because there was one dead, but 1 were dead, in trespasses and in sh).

I reached Salem Tuesday morn ing, through the kindness of W. T. Love. I had not met Brother Love since 18S5, when as a passing mis sionary in Beaufort county, I was holding a meeting in C res well. The Association convened at 11 o' clock and after the addresses of wel come and its organization. Brother Wells, of Eden ton preached the in troductory sermon. The sermon bhowed thorough preparation of mind and heart, but the speaker showed exhaustion from . his exper ience in getting to the association. The sermon, however, was not less effective on this account. - The great causes before the body on Tuesday afternoon were religious literature and Sunday Schools and several brethren made telling speech- The evil influence of corrupt and degrading literature was alluded to and it was urged that the most ef fective way to combat this Influence was by the dissemination of good lit erature. W. R. Beach was on hand t; present the Biblical Recorder as an agency ,tq this end. Secretary E. L. Middleton was at hb best in his speech on Sunday Schools, and the . Association gave him liberal pledges for the support of his work. When I arrived Wednesday morn ing Joslah Elliot was on the floor, speaking in behalf 'of ministerial ed ucation, and was making one of his best speeches. Brother Joslah and I tasseled out as preachers the same year, and both of us have, come up tt rough great tribulation. If there is any better man than Joslah El liot I have yet to find him. This was followed by report on State missions, and the discussion ar turned over to our Secretary, Dr. Livingston Johnson, who made a gieat speech aa he always does. He showed that State Mlslson is the backbone ot all missions. Dr. Brown then preached the doc- tr'nal sermon. The sermon was of the kind rather unusual. He first showed the meaning' of Baptism, or what it teaches ; and then showed the importance of living by what it taught It was a strong sermon. As representative of the Advance, I had an unusual experience. One asked to subscribe said that he was taking another paper. He then pro ceeded to give ' the churches and preachers a rasping, charging them with all the corruption from Adam down. I asked him, If he didn't like churches and preachers, why he didn't go where there were none. He 1'iophesied that he and his crowd vould knock the churches out in ten pr fifteen years, and yet he himself b witness to the very forbearance o. these, cnurcneg jn gjvingmmine 111 erty of speech. In other words, he would destroy, the chruches if he cruld. But the churches, HJce their Master, hit on one cheek turn the other also. There is no better wit ness to Christian forbearance than their self-control when they are spit upon by such emissaries of the devil, I was not at the Assoclatioii Thursday, but gathered the following facts: -". The report on Home Missions was presented by Rev. W. W. Sisk, and further discussed by Rev. A. A. But ler The pledges were Increased. The history of the Association was presented by Rev. Joslah Elliott There are now sixty churches and a membership of nearly 11,000 In the ftPFociation. A motion was made and carried to set on ' foot a great missinary cam pclgn, covering the entire associa tion. The special committee to look after thla consists of A. A. Butler, I. N Loftin and W. W. Sisk. The next session of the body Is to be held with Cool Springs, church, I.' N.', Loftin' to preach the introduc tory and W. W. Sisk the doctrinal sermon. ' ' . . - '. " The meeting closed with "Blest be tli... Tie that Binds,' and benediction by Joslah Elliott. Thus closed' one of the best sessions of the body ever held. Much credit for this is due to C R. Halght, pastor of Salem church- and his able coadjutors. They "royally-- entertained the body, and the fragments that remained vere considerably over twelve bas ketsfull. Halght's heart is as big cs his body and he is the most amin bio Haight I ever saw. R. E. PEELE DAVENPORT-JENNINGS ' Cecil L.
