—Ttr-rVffidBmjTs
We are at our wit’s end, not ae re
gards our relation to God, for lie is
One. He has revealed H!n will, He
forniahes ns with the means of
grace, He ie rich in mercy, will abun
dantly pardon, hears 'sod answers
prayer, draws, guides sod trains os,
and eaves the baptised believer in
the Lord Jesus Christ with an ever
lasting salvation. But as regards
man for he ie many beaded ; as many
men aa many minds ie ao old saw,
and wo daily experience the troth of
it. Wo give the last instance of our
utter and entire inability to reader
- satisfaction.
Several of our friends when they
learnt that the paper did not pay ex
pense* advised us to charge for all
advertisements, notices, etc., irre
spective of pet sons and objects. We
did not like to do it. We tried to
serve the church aad to show oar
good will to tke ministry and tke
laity to the beet of our ability. Wo
believe too with onr whole heart that
it is more blessed \f> give than to re
ceive, and we therefore declined ae
long as wo alone were responsible
Bnt now others have become respot)
sible and will hare to bear the Iota,
if the paper does not sustain itself;
it has booome our duty to those kind
brethren, and honesty demands that
we to the beet of our ability Uses a
the risk; in other words, it becomes
os to nse every effort to make the
paper self-sustaining; we therefore
charge for all advertisements.
Several have writea to os and ex
pressed their approval. One brother
even says that $5 far a Synodical
notice Is not enough. He may be
right. It is really but little, as fig
ures will show. The Synod of Geor
gia has 1000 members, the Synodical
notice therefore ie only haH a cent
for eaoh member. The Synod of SL
Carolina has 4500 members, tke
notice therefore Is but one ninth of a
cent for each member This Is Soft
dent to prove that it really la but a
nominal thing to the Synods, while
in the other hand it is a great deal
to ue, for $5 pay for two and a half
delinquent subscribers a whole year,
or for the printing of 170 paper*.
The $5 benefit us much, sad none
are torero. >We moreover are de
termined if the Visitor is self-sus
taining this year to publish all
churchly notices free next year.
■ We never even dreamt that aay
would object to this, but to onr utter
astonishment and no little vexation,
we are mistaken. A good brother
writes:
1 am sorry that you charge for
Synodical notices. Nq$ that you bad
gross neglect or lack of «*> oj^r*u«n
on tke part of ths ministers of our
church, “who ate much benefited by
the influence of the paper * 1 These
and other aaaoyaaeas would try even

of your demands, which is alienating

Paal’i Protracted Meeting.
Tbs good old days of “long time
ago” often bring to the mind of our
older minister* sweet remembrances
of precious season* of grace, pro
treated sometimes for week* and
months, with great results for good.
Tbs remembrance Is grateful to *11
participant*, both minister* and lsy-
Tboussnd* live in ths ebnroh
now whose testimony is in favor of
protracted meetings. They point to
soon soch meeting and say, “there
1 wagfoo*verted," nod upon ths 8a
vtour’s rule, by their fruit* ye *haU
kmate them, no man dare impeach
their testimony. But most of these
witnesses are grey headed, many fee
ble, and all paasing away. Their
ranks are not filling up, because
protracted meeting* are neglected,
discontinued, and in mauy instances
opposed. Yes, opposed by ministers
of the gospel who themselves were
ths subjects of protracted meetings
la tbsir religious experience, sod,
opposed tooj I greatly fear, by mauy
who ought to be subjects of a pro
traded meeting in a happy personal
conversion. Frequently we hear those
opposer* of what they denominate
“JTrtf Meaeureef ia a tone of con
tempt, aey, “there is no authority
for the protracted meeting in the
Bible." In controversion of this er
roneoua, hot very common impres-
moo, prevalent in our day, let us
calmly look at only one record.
Turn with me to chapter 13 of
Acts, ami begin to read at verse 14.
Here you find Paul and Barnabas
at Antioch in Pisidis, preaching, by
invitation, in the Synagogue. A
skeleton of Paul* sermon is given,
and also the eflect that its plainness
and simplicity produced. Now when
we come to verse 42, let ns pause for
a time. Here we are told that the
Jews left the place of worship, and
the Geatitoe bed so interview with
tke preachers. The wsy of salvation
waa made ao broad by Paul that the
Geotile* understood themselves to be
included. They were rejoiced at such
liberality, mad sought to have a more
positive declaration of what they
bat dimly apprehended. They there
fore sought n repetition of Paul's
gracious words, not “the meat Sab
