Iu Alabama service waa held twice a day, eight members were added to the church by Coufeaaiou, and five infants were baptised. A kind brother of the M. K. Church preached oue sermon for ua. I felt that the Lord was with ua, and feel assured that much good will raault from the humble efforts of hia ser vants to preach the everlasting Gospel. The time is not distant when there will tie a railroad near this place, aud then we hope to have a flourishing church at Salem, Ala baum. May the blessing of the Lord rest upon this people! I next visited Lulher chain), Douglas county, Georgia. Here a three days’ meeting was held, the sacrament of the I ami's Supper ad ministered, aud three children were baptized.

What Will be Bone With UI Dear Editor : It may look like pre sumption in ho obscure an individual as myself to send you a few thoughts of my own upoi) certain things eon nected with the inferests of our pa per and the welfare of the charrh. If it be presnmption, then let my earnest desire for the prosperity of our Master’s cause be any apology for these lines; snd though you may not agree with me in all that I shall say, I beg you set naught down in malice to my account, but all in love. Tbe proposed Free Conference has provoked not only some harsh words, but, I fear, also unfriendly feelings, in the bosoms of soifie hitherto warm friends. Much has been said against the propriety of holding such a Con ference^ and in the opposition which you have brought to bear against it, I bclfeve the greater portion of the 8onthem church has been with you. Bnt in the manner in which yon have opposed, yonr warmest friends and follow-opponents of the proposed Free Conference have sometimes been pained. And whilst ire have enjoyed the privilege of opposing it, I think it would have been a matter of justice to our brethren ou the other side of tbe question, to have also allowed them a hearing. No* thing has a^greateF tendency to alienate than proscription. I do not wonder that some of onr brethren, who favored this “new measure,” (aud whom wo love, though they differ with ns in opinion) are chafing under the restrictions laid upon th<-ir articles intended for publication. if God were bou nd to do nothiag aud reveal nothing, or as if a* uter pretatson of hit word shaM sUad which does not accord with osr 3i 1 >ip, Monday morning, ie Iron steed took us to .1C. then by the way of ihre we were welcomed 6n ijiy two dear friends to q U _GreenHljoro, where }[ I1 anville train, which it Bnrkeville, Va., at iSt wo iu the wee small e niorning.
