STo the churches of the Tweclve Mille River Association: The time for ot'r next anunal meeting is approaching and there will be several a matters of linp)ortance uip for considera tion.

Anothaer matter which ms not less impor tant than the other is the plast indebted. ness. We have been three years no0w tr. ing to pay off a small debt which shmou d not hare been carriedl over a single year. At the last association a resohtition was p lassed whereby time delegates pledged . hemselves to use thelir influence and ef fort in their respective chuirches to ge~t them to contribute as miuchi as tea cents per mnemder for this dlebt, but up to the present time only one chuarch (Cross Rloads) has done any thing so far as reported to the .Executive Comnmittee.

Wecona iieetlng. The meeting conducted the past week at Secona by Rev. J. E. Foster, the pastor, was one of the most succesful held in this vicinity in a long time. There were 27 ac. cessions to the church on profession of faith, 26 of whom were baptized by in. inersion at Clement's mill last Sabbath morning. rho very best of order and at tention prevalled throughout the meeting. Mr. Foster preached two sermons a day, but rarely occupied more than twenty min utes In their delivery. The house was crowded every night. The singing was fine, and the preacher awfully in earnest. During the singing, while mourners were invited to the bench, he would be in one of the aisles, and his clear ringing voice could be heard above the singing, pleading with the sinners to come, and pressing home to the conscience some strong point suggested by the text. In fact he was just using the method which Dr. Girardeau said once, he felt like he wanted to use. How can any preacher believe his own words and not go into the aisles, or even out of doors and endeavor to snatch sinners as brands from the burning? The parable says they were commissioned "to go out into the highways and hedges and compel them to come." -Vote as you please if you want to, but if you don't vote, don't cuss.
