We spent several days, assisting
the pastor of this church at a com
thuniou meeting, (he 1st of April.
We preached Saturday morning,
which was the first eervice of the
meeting. Though the season was
busy, yet there was a large congre
gation present to bear the word, aud
to atteud to services preparatory to
the Uoly Communion. At the same
time fourteen persons were received
into church, membership on protes
sion of frith. On Hahtoth an uuu
sually large congregation was pres
ent, most of whom united in rtdebra
Ung the lord’s Stopper.
Brother Snyder's labors are being
greatly blessed in bis whole charge.
A short time,previous he held a situ
iiar meeting at Mt. Jackson, assisted
by Dr. p. F. Bittle, the efficient
President of Roanoke College. Dr.
B,'s preaching was most acceptable,
calling forth from the'most intelli
geut portion of that community the
highest praise.
Niue most valuable members were
added to the church at that time.
The Mt. Jackson congregation for
some years seemed to be in a de
cline, but there is quite an interest
awakened there now, and both pas
tor aiulj people feel greatly en
couruged,
: Brother Snyder has much to slim
ulale lum in his field ridahor, and
we trust that the present state of
things are but as the first fruits of
the incoming harvest lie has the
confidence and love of his people to
such a degree as to enable him to
wield an influence for good, as few
men cau.
May tie Lord bless both pastor
and people. M.

I know there has been much abuse
heaped qpou the Missourians by us
in past yfars. But wherefore t They
hold sonte, views, it is true, not re
garded by us as important. We
think them too exacting in their de
mauds concerning qualifications for
communion, and exchange of pulpits
with them. In this 1 am, mdividu
