Dear Brother Nettles: We have just finished the regular protracted meet ing on this work. The church has been revived at each point. My dear breth ren, Revs. W. B. Wharton, J. E. Ma haffey, Felix G.-Whitlock, S. A. Dona hoe, and Jesse J. Stevenson were very kind in helping me. I could say many nice things about their sermons. Ev ery one preached in demonstration of the Spirit and in power. We received eight on profession of faith-all young folks. The visits of these noble men and their faithful service will long be re membered by this brother and his best people. Some of the appeals made by each of them will not soon be forgot ten, and will bear fruit. May their dear lives be long spared to tell "the old, old story." I am now entering upon the closing quarter of my work. We hope to round up well in some respects, if not in all. During the four years I have received eighty-seven new members, most of them on profession of faith; have baptized twenty-one infants; married fifteen couples, for which I have received $115. These people don't ask a preacher to marry them for nothing. We have raised, or will have done so by the close of this year (D. V.) for salaries, collections ordered by the conference, buildings and re pairs, specials for missions, and inci dentals, a sum closely approximating $5,000. Our churches have met every financial obligation laid upon them. A few refuse to pay, but there are those who pay their own part and that which is held back by others, and God blesses the cheerful giver but collects from the others by withholding the rain and cutting off the crops. When will people learn that they "can not rob God?" Well, I am compelled by failing health and strength to retire from the active work of the ministry, and will settle down to do what my strength will allow, and when permitted will go over some fields I have served, and preach the same glad news I have been trying to publish for more than 28 years, and when I am calle'd away I' hope to answer, "Master, here am I." God bless the dear fellows who are still active and the noble men who compose the "old guard!', Oh, will1 it not be glorious when this warfare is ended, to meet again and greet our comrades on the eternal shore! God grant it! Amen! Your brother, D. P. Boyd. STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, COUNTY OF NEWBERRY. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. E. B. Blease, Plaintiff, against J. A. Blackwelder, B. C.
