Tncse br ing the re-mote Huburbs and t h e immediate country into hourly access to the oon tor of tho city, thus accommodating large numbera of people hi therto de-barred from cheap and convenient city traveling facilities.

Tbo Tenneateo Midland railroad, now in course of conatruotiou, will be completed to Memphis at no ver> ( l i sunt day, which will open a w a) of access to and f r o m a large distirict of wealthy and prosporaun c o u n t r j , and be of great benefit to this city, afc well as tho country t r ave r sed , in many waya.

Wtf-f,lAM NOirrON, f,l.I>,, KN()I,ANI>. P K O E N T L V I rocoived it letter from Hultillo in 1\ Mexico, from your highly favorod initwioimry,

Mr. I'owull, Iind n jo icod to hoar iinow of ( lod's (rroiit work of grftco th rough him in Mexico, l l o Huys tliut ho hiui n thought of coming to Europn in 11 ypiir or t ^ o . Mtiy God sjMJod nnd hlosa bin viiiit. God hits hound im, Eiiginud nnd America , with Ik Btroiig hoiid (if common mtcn ' s t in thoBO of Hiiaiiish l ip .

, HIOH of tho Newer Hcripturcs, nnd, by means of England and Amoriciv in union, n version fai thful lo Goil, nnd which being mndo, ns to Kpanish, by tho highest author i ty iiossosaos nil tho fitness and melotly of expression which nro exftcted by the Hpanish oar.

It will, I hope, br ing thanlt.'?giving to God if I mention how God, by his own iinnd, brought tliis alwut.

A Hpaniard born in 1701 bccame, from lovo of study, n Franciscan monk . When ho was nine toen iio was called out to jo in tho a rmy, and left tho inonastory. T h e greater freedom of tho a rmy made tiie monastic bonds soem tyrranous . When he was in liis twenty-four th year tho momlrers of monastic orders wore required to go back to their monaHteries. H e would have lef t Bpain rather than go l)ack, bu t ho had uo means to travel, and, urge<l by his family , roturnod. H o was made priest, a preacher and confessor, and was afterward assigncil a chair of philosopiiy. H i s conduct had Ixion outwardly c o r r e c t ; bu t lu; folt t ha t it was not what his creed required. Tho better to live with-out transgression he gave u p ono par t af ter another ol his creed. H e bocaino a t length an atheist and fatalist. About 1820 he left tho monastery, and liccamo a secular priest . In 1823 ho went to Madrid. H o was n fr iend of tbo then liberal governinenl, and went there to avoid popular lury . He might have re turned to liis chargo if lie woidd have lied as to tho past nnd Hvod n hypocrite in fu ture ; but tho proposal filled him with terror. At the end of 1823 ho followed some French tro()j)8 toward France w i t h o u t n passport. Though an atheist he preferred to givo u p all his proHpects, to leave those he loved, to (juit his country , to ox-lK)so hiinsolf to bo arrested an a criminal or killed hy a popular f u r y , rather than live a continued lie. Ho was stopped on tho f ront ie r , nnd detained at Iran till orders should ar r ive f rom tho military ohiot. Ho waH u n k n o w n , had no money, no friond. Ho felt most wretched. On tho eeventh day he thought of suioido. Till eleven a t n ight his anguish was ex t r eme ; bu t ho ioll asleep, nnd in tho morn->ug, without any known cause, lie fel t , on waking, a calm nnd cheerful pleasure. His thought of sui -cide sbomed nt first ridiculous, nnd ho laughed, then horrible, and ho wopt. H i s mind wna filled with proofs romomberod tha t thoro ia n glorious Creator on whom happiness must depend. On that very evening tho raistroHa of tbo lun in which he stayed came to him ^ told him of his danger , promiaed biro a t ruaty guide early In the morning to ahow a mouutaii i M t b , wbioh the g u s r d i kpew not, in to F r i i i M , rad urged b im to MK»|)e« J ^

wont, nnd was at Bayonno nex t day. Thoro ho hoard a minister of the London .Continental Ho cioty (iroach. H o heard of salvation through fai th, a thing unhoard of in Hpaiii. His a t tempt to fine Halvatlon by works hadnmilo him an nthoi&t, hac led him almost to suiciilo. Ho felt that such a milviitioii as ho tmd now hoard of for tlio first timo waa tho only ono tha t oijuld suit his nood. Ho read and found thn doctrine t rue. Ho prayed, nnd oarnestly, for frtith. Ho soon rejoicwl in ( 'hr is t , t rust ing in him to save. Tho burden of his wholo life was goue. Ho ( Juan Caideron) was, in 182;{, thir ty-two years of ago. In 1821) ho wont to Lou-don, nnd preached to Hpanish refugees. In 1831) liio refugees left , and Mr. Caideron wont back to Franco. Ho continued there some timo, and married. In 1842, while Espastero was regent, he wont to Madrid, and taught the gospel from house to house, but was obliged to re turn to France in 1845. I u 1840, wheu fifty-five, ho wont again to Lon(ion\ There God raised him up kind fr iends and hcliwrs. l3y means of funds obtained by Dr. J ames Thomson ho wrote and printed a periwiical in Hjianish, which was circulated in Hpain, Houth America and other parts. A t tho timo of the great exhibition of 1851 ho preached in tipanish regu larly a t a place in Leicester 8(iuare. A little work publifihod in 1853, compiled chiefly from paj)er8 written by Dr . Thomaon, Raid : —

" Mr. Caideron is a man of high talent and distinguished Hpanish scholar. Ho has published a work of greul merit on tho SpanlHli language, which tho Spanish govornnicnt has lately ordered to be used in all tho public seminaries throughout tho kingdom. This eminent Hpaniard has iileo l)eon lately apiM)inted profesBor of tho Hpanish language in King 's College, I^ondon."

Among those who belriended Mr. Caideron, and made his position in Ijondon ono of comfort and respectibility, was, I lieliovo, tho lato good earl ol Hhaftesbury.

To trace the progress of God's plan we must next go to Bordeaux in Franco. Mr.Crowe.an Engl ish-man who had settled at Bordeaux, had a son nnmod Freder ick . This son wont out, I believe, with a pa r tv ot emigrants to Houth America, bu t did not Bottio there. In the couiso of his wander-ings ho went to Belize in British Honduras , was l)aptiied by tho pas tor of tho mission church thoro on evidence of conversion, and became n moinbor of tha t church . In June , 1847, Mr. Crowo and tho pastor of the church arrived in England to seok sympathy nnd nssiatiince on account of tho treat-ment which tha t strict communion church bad re-ceived from tho committee of tho British Mission-ary Bocioty. Mr. Crowo had ongagod in missionary work iu parts of Central Atnorica whore Spanish 8 spokon, nnd had Iamento<l tha t in tho Spanish

voraion circulated there such words as pennuco tended to confirm Koman Cfttholica in their lalso jeliof. Dur ing his stay in Eng land ho became Bo;iualnted with Mr. Caideron, who hod como to London in 1846. Mr . Caideron had been ongago<l by the Church of England Society for Promot ing Jhristian Knowledge to pu t into correct Spanish

the allerfttions which the revisers nppolnied by tha t Booiety bad reiolved to make in a ilroe vemion of t h e Mow OoTeoaot mad* by « p m o a n a n i M

A m a t . Mr. Crowe found tha t Mr. Caideron took much interest iu the subject ol revision, and felt that tho Spanish verslona needed a more perfect revision than that on which ho had iMwrn engngt<d; but neitlior ho nor Mr, Crowe knew Greek, and I was asked by Mr. Crowo whether I wore willing to become responsible for tho corrcct rendering of tho Greek if Mr. Cttldoron would become resimnsiblo for tho correct exprOHsion of its meaning In Spanish. I met Mr. Caideron and Mr. Crowe several times, and it was agrued tha t if God should pleaso to aid us something should be done. Tho work projmged was only tho correction of chief defects, not tho making of a new version. Mr, Crowo was tho moans of awakening interest in tho project In Scotland. A committee was formed in Ediit-burgh for promoting it, and enough money was raised to make it probable that funds would no t be want ing for tho pr int ing of the work.

I n these events how str iking is tho proof of God'a design to carry out a divine plan I How singular yet how well ordered were tho steps ho took to bring about tho conversion of J u a n Caideron a t a timo when the way of salvation could not bo hoard of by him in Spain I H o w t rue to the t ime needed for tho work Ood had in view his coming to Eng-land in 1846, and Mr. Crowe's coming in 1847 I I t happened too tha t when I met them I waa f ree from any engagements which would have kept me^ from entering on tho work.

""HEUE can l)o no greater happiness, saya a writer in an exchange, than to help those wh6

There a re always some not far awny from us in need of bread and the com" monost charities of life to whom we may minister of our abuodatico, and have God's blessing on our welldoing. T h e highest record tha t one can make ia " ho wont alwut doing good." There nro various kinds of welldoing tha t fall into this general classi-fication ; but we may do God's work in one way as well OS in another . Whichever thorofore presents itself in the providential onler should bo accopted as demanding ou r attention, and with such cheer-fulness as to win tho confidence ot those to whom wo administer ; for whon it is evident that such Work comes f rom tho hear t , and is done for Chriat's sako, there can bo no a rgument against it. God'a care of tho needy comea largely through human nstrumontali ty, nnd wo are to be the willing in-

" Mo miseralilo. Which way I lly is holl. My. self am holl."

JJiit once more, Hin itself is a consuming (ire to tho wicked. Wo roail of sinners plucked as hriuids from the hiirning. We ri ad of saints pull ing them iHit of tho fire. If the tongue is a iiro, a world of iuiiiuily, set on lire of holl, surely sin is a consum. ing fire. How it kindles tlio desires and inllamcs thepnssionB! How anger runs its rod-hot share through tho soul ! How glows rovongo liko fer-vent heal I Kin excavates a hottondoss pit in the sinner's soul; sin furnishes fuel for the flame, sin is a ctinsumiug lire. Hin produces guilt so un . l)ean>l)lo that in this world suicido is oflon the only relief. Sin brinits despair so fearful , tha t tho victim sinks into h;»pelea8 idiocy I Sin brings ro-morso so guawing that the subject prays for tho lUmo to extinguisli his being 1 •Sin brings down tho wrath of God, so torribl® tha t rocks and mountains are importuned to hide them from the face of him tha t si t teth on the throne. Hin sets all the faculties of the soul aflamo and burns with tho vengeance of e ternal firo. I f sin laid on the Son of God evoked the bitter c ry , '< My God, My Gwl, why ha«t tliou forsaken mo ? " how will sin on tho ninner to ooiuloinn, and in tho sinner to degrade . Hei)!inite from God forever I This is [wnalty ; this is death. It needs no material flame. The soid on lire with sin is a burning hell.

Then added to the deeds done in the Ixnly will be tho ages of ages spent in hell where tliey can not coaae from sin, where sin has become so fixed and inveterate, tha t by a law of i u own, it goes on forever and

ever, Gternal s inniug necessitatos eternal sufToring. I f memory of the sins of this short life bo unbearable, what will Iw tho condition of tho soul when it recalls ages on ages of rolwllion against God?

Another element in tho sufTerlng of tho lost is their associations with the dovLI and his angels, and other spirits of tho damned.

"Gathor in your mind an assemUiy of all thoso men and women, from whom, whc<ier. in history or fiction, your memory shrinks (n* fiction can roach the reality of sin) gather in mind all which is most loathosomo, most rovolUng, the most treacherous, malicious coarso, brutol, invootlvo, fiendish, cruelty unsoflened by any remaias of humon fooling, such aa thou couldst not endure for a single hour; conceive tho fierce oyoa of hate, spito, fronisiod rage, over flxe<l on theo, looking through and through with hftto, sleoploss in thoir horribio gajio, folt If not aoon, novor turning from ihoo, novor to Iw turned from except to quail under tho piercing sight of hate.

1 also made a note of the fact that "water" is the univermd element on earth ; there being three times as much o."" it as there ia of anything elst^ 'Hence the appropriatGiiesn of wat^'r for the Loril's ordinance.

I see very much the same thing in tlie symbols used in tho " L o r d ' s siippor." Of nil that man eats, nothing ia ho universal as " bread." Of all tho dr inks made by man, none is so universal as the " f r u i t of tho vino," " t h e juice of the gra|w."

" T h i s is my blood of the New Testament." I have already said tha t one <d tlie iiiohI terrible

It is tho most fearful of all sights, blood, am the most <lrea<led of all things, death, that (io. has utilized in the great work of salvation.

Tho outer limit of all poiisibility was reache when God gave up his Son to .leath, and when Christ gave out his blood for us.

roads tliua:! "For tho unlwliovlng husband is aano-t fled by tho wlfo, mid tho unlwlioviug wife ia wmc* t f lodby tho husband ; else wero your children un-clean, but now they are holy,"

You know that this ia one of the main iwinta with 'reabytorians; They boiiovo that bellovers' chil-

tren, if I understand their doctrine, possess by nature tho same holiness possessod by tho pa-renis, thoioforo miy that thoy arc iiroper Hubjecta or baptism.

As much as possible I have nvoideil explain-inir this passage for ffuir I migh t he wrong. I will give you my idea, and it 1 am correct please nay so in your odigranis; if 1 am wrong pleuao explain the passage tolly in ( | u e H i i o n dopar tment of TiIK iUl'TlHT.

My idea is t h i s : That in those days many un-wliovors, iw they are callud, were not t rue to

what we cull " t h o . m a r r i a g e vow," but practiood a<lullary, and when both wore thus thoir children wore children of adulUiry. If, however, ei ther the husband or wife should belicvo in (Jhrist and ad-lero strictly to the Scr ipture teacliings concerning

marriage, thoir cliildren would not bo children of adul tery, but lawful or pure, tha t is, for the Hilieving ones par t , brought into tho world accord

ing to gospel teaching. Kight here I am con-fronted with the fact t ha t Christ sai<l one wh« married another who bad a living husband or wife was an adul terer or ailulteress, and the thought arises if one should be converted lind know tha t the other was loose in practice, there should bo a separation, l)Ut that would not have done, for then tho heathen, the unbelieving, would have com-plained tha t Christianity was breaking up their homes and making their children children of adul-tery. So I conclude that whore persons wero al-r(w1y inarritid and loved each other it was lH)st for th^m to still live together, and the fai thfulness, pr.iyers and Christian influence of tho believing one might bo (iod's instrument in ihe conversion of the other, but if the inlluence of tho wife should ftiil to convert tho husl.ivml or tho husband the wife, if tbe Iwlieving party lived right .iKjfore God with respect to married life, bis or her children would not 1)0 children of adul tery , l)ut children of

t rue wedlock. If I am wrong in my idea of ttio above namei

passage, don't expobC my gross ignorance, but please ox|.lain. 1 have never seen any explana-tion of tho passage except I 'edobaptists , all of which i think is incorrect. Your brother,

" T h e opening of It," be remarka, " l a In ac-cordance wltJh the moat perfect rnieaof art,—calm, temperate, and conelllatory. Up to a certain point in tho higher view which bo unfolded of the Su-premo Being, the pblloaopber of tbo Gaitlen, aa wall aa of the Poreh, might lUtaq with wonder and admiration.

But the next aen'ence which asBortM the providence of Gbd aa the active creative energy, aa the oonaervatlve, the ruling, tho ordainlHg principle, annihilated at onoe tho atomic theory and the government of blind ehanee, to which which Bplcurua aacrlbed the origin and preservation of the unlverae. * Thia high and Im. prcsslve Delly who dwelt aloof In aerene and majestic superiority to all want, waa perceptible In stime mystorloua manner by man; bla all<p«rv«d> Ing providence comprehended tho wbole t fomm race ; man waa In conatant union with the Doity, as an offspring with iU parent ' And atlll tbo Storic might applaud with complalaant aaUafaotlon the ardent worda oi the apostle; bo might approve tho lofty condemnation of Idolatry: " W e , thua of divine deocnt, ought to think mire nobly of our universal Father than to auppose that tbo Godhead is like nuto gold,oral lver ,orat )ne gravea by art of man's device.' But thia Divine Provldonee waa far dlfFarout from the atern and all-contmlling ne< cessity, the inexorable fatallam of the Stoic aya-tcm. While tho moral valne of human actlona was rccogulEod by the solumn retrlbato Judgment lo bo passed on all mankind, tbo dignity of atolc vlrture waa lowered by Iho general demand of repontttuco. Tho perfect man, tbo moral king waa deposed, as it were, and abaaed to tho general level; he had to learn new lefaona In the school of Christ, IcBsoua of humility and consoloua dcfl. cinnry, tho most dircctly opposed to the pHnclplus and the aentimentt) of hla philuaophy. The great Christian doctrine of the reaurreotion closed the ipoeoh of Pau l ; a doctrine received with mockery, perhiifis, by hie Epicurean hearers: with suitranaion of juilgment, probably, by the Stoic, with .whoso theory of tho final destruction of the world by Are, and his tenet of future retributions, it might aih> pear In aome degree to harmonize. Some, however, l)ecamo declared oonyerts; among whom are particularly named Dionyslus, a man of sufYoiimt distinction to be a membor of the famous oourt of tbo Arooi)aguB, and a woman named Damaris, pro-lably of oonsiderable rank and iofluenoe. And U a worthy of note, that b that august assembly,

Minets ami the Matloys, ami others, all of wlioiu

have passed over or removed.

Our lato and valued iriond, Bro. Shopahiro,

met us with a carriage at the depot at Uonio, and

took lis to Ins hospitable homo, where every com-

fort and attention awaited ns, and rigiit wo!I wo

enjoyed them. It is the Baplist hotel of Koine,

and has IH-OU for one-toiirlli of a century, and Go<l

ha.H blessed this' household as lie dit' that of Ohod-

edom of old, becuise the ark of tho Lord rested

therein, Dr, Meadilen, the pastor of tho church,

and Dr. CJwaltney, the president of Shorter Col-

lege, called, and made plcai'ant a part of tho ovon»

ing with UH, from whom wo learned the prosperity

of the church, and the great sucxesa of tho Colloge.

After an early dinner tho next day tho commit-

tee from Armiiolioe church, deacons Wootcn and

Helman took uh in n very comfortable carriage to

Bro, Lewis Keiman, tiiirtc n and one-half miles,

who resides in Armuohoe Valley noi fnr t'roni tho

church, with whom we rested until tho hf.ur of

meeting tho iit'xt day. Many of tho brethreii re-

tireil Thursday with faint hopes of the mooting tho

coming tlay for it throatcne<l rain, and it was not

until nearly ten o'clock before the dark olonda

hroko away, and the sun broke forth "with heal-

largo congregation that met us that day, but on

Friday afternoon and niglit, anil Huturday all day

tho brethren came in from every direction, and on

Hunday ministers, deacons and lirethreii from three

Htates, and eight diilerent conntieH crowdod that

immonso house and yard. We say immonse, for

it iH hy far the largest house iu North Georgia.

Wo were told that with chairs in the aisles its seat-

ing capacity is one tiiousuml.

At (he rofpiest of the duacons and j'HsUir we dis

cussed tho subject of coinmuniou, itn Nymbolmn and HdaUon to the local church. At tlio close of tho

discussiou wo called upon eyury Baptist in thp

houBo to vole by Htrmding up, if tho word of God,

and cousiatoncy did not demand that membership

in the ohuroh celebrating it wn« not the pt;ere<)ui-

site to partaking of it. And that entire crowd

arose. I f there was one 13aptist who kept hia or

her seat, no «no noticed it that wo could hear of.

The Armuchee church wiis declared solid, aud will

at its next conferQiice meeting vote to obserfo tho

supper henceforth as a fihureh ordinance.

The afternoon's diacourse wa^ on the Judgment

and Reward of the Balnta. VVu shall nni nttempt

Aasociationa and ntotillnga they had ever attended

thia one wan ^ho liest of all. 'lliuBe who had

traveled two days to reaph it declared they wero

amply repaid, Tho Lord blessed it with the linest

of weather—a general revival. Deacon Wooten^

with whom wo rested that night before wo retireil

handed us a list of nearly half a hundred iiameti

for THK BAITIHT, and our traveling oxponsos with

the grateful tlmiikei of tho brethren. This is one

of tho greatest ineetingH of our life.

Before they lelt the jiastor and brethren oj'

Hhiloh aluiroh, Cobb county, obtained tho promise

of a visit at II mass meeting with that church next

lifconltr has pasied into now hands, and Dr. T, T.

Katon,"Tontine" of tho Eeaminer, has mounted its

tripod, and a lovely paper ho will make of it, but

not a soumler or aliler Baptist paper. Who could?

Tho Bapliiil. Ittpxlor at Chattanooga is diroclcd

and publishpd by its former foronian, and edited

by tho pastors of tho city in lieu of its formereditor.

Dr. Kobertson, who retires wearied and worn. Drs.

H. 11. Tucker and Hatcher have been dropped by

the publishers from the editorial stall of the old

Christum Index, Atlanta, Ga. He avers lie did

not losign, and thai ho is not rcsigiii'd to being so

unceromoniously fired out of tho etlitorHliiii ol tiiat

paper. Tho publishers give reasoiiH satisfactory to

themselves, and doubtless to many of tho reiuhns

of tho Index for tho cliango in tho editorial

management of tho pajier. Our old frieiil.

Dr. Weaver, is retained, and the paper is rnuuing

by tho pens of the contributors, etc. Not long or

well can any paper'bo kepi up in this way. It is

like running a lirstclasH church without a ivi^ular

pastor, flepending upon uncertain "supplies."

Two other Baptist pajiors have been started in

(Georgia, and now tho news comes that anewpspor

will bo started in Macon, (Ja , unless tho Indix can

bo bought, and removed there with"' Dr, Tucker

doubtlcsa at its heml, we suppose.

The Bihlkal Hcmder, North Carolina, has again

changed hands An Anti-Landmark editor can-

not run that paper to tho sa(isfaotion of North

the principles of their fathers.

Thfl writer attended tho Milburn- R'JBO dob»tt<

at Osfonl , Arkansai which began Noveuik'r

elghlh. Two quostion? wore debated live day^,

wmbracliig tho design of baptism and the inlbnuco

of the Holy Spirit In conversion. The dobatorn

very unequally yoked Bro. Milburn was roii.

Kistant, methodical and elaborate in argument

while Kid. ROHO ramblci) as U wild n uu in Uic

woods. Ho did not know how to eoiistruct att »r-

gumout, nor did he know how to answer ono

when made by his opp'jueut. Mr. It<j8e lailod to

do auythiuur at all oxoci-t out cajwrs, play thi fool,

aud Uugb at arguinonti ho could uot aiuwer. Tho

imprcsklou made oti every rtlloctliig mind was

that Bro. Milburu's lino " f argument was iuviuei-

blc, and he presented it strongly aud Iniprosslngly.

Some of hl-i «i>oocb«s arose to (ho point of absolute

Kublhalty, carrying with him lil» audionr.o as if by

a Htorm. This is the scoond urushing dofeat

Campbellites have had right reooiiily in t!i»t sec-

tion ot country, aud tho probability is tbey will

uuw bo satiailed.

Tho dry wrathcr ait.l forest tires throughout

Arkansas was dljitros^iug tJroat losses wero tbo

retuU, in bv)th country and towns. Hut th"*

gracious rains have coma at last, and wo trust all

feel thankful.

North Arkansas is a rough country so far a^ iia

laud surface is coucernoi), but it has a splendid

class ot iHSople in it. Tho B«pt^^ts are fully up

with tho times, too. Tho Baptist prcachors are not

ono whit behind tho average of tho best of other

denominations, and they aro as bold ai lions. Tbcy

dit not fear to pieach tho truth, and the faithtul

preaching of it is working a mighty revolution iu

that country. Tho churches, likowlgo, aro sound

in the faith, and give their moral stroiiglh to tbeir

paftor* in advocating tho dcotrinea of the wonl of

Ood. Commendable progress is being mado by the

churches in growing in tho g r ao of giving to sup

port tho ministry. Like some churuhcs in our

older sections of country tlioro is not a toll dn-

cliargo of duty In this nmpccU But tho fuluro

hopeful, and ore long North Arkansas will stand

aide by «ido with uthor parts of tho country iu this

grace also.

Bro. ,1. D. ,1. Kaulkuor has rccciiily moved lo

Barron Fork, and is altcu«f1ng ecliool, aud alxo

preaching. Bro. Browu will move to LaCrox-o

about Christmas, and attend Prof, Kemiard's

Rch(x>l, while ho ilso |iro»c'i to soveral chiirchcs

around. Bro, B^Hn, of Union, wi'l also attend

this lattor school this winter. Thus throe nurriod

preachers, with families, aro ambitious now to do

what thny worn unable to accoinpllRh Iwforo and

get an edncatiwn. Such ambition is surely laudable

and coinmendablo,

Bro . T. W. Wright, f o r m e r l y ol Kentucky , but for «evcral years past a resident of A r k a n s a s , has grown to bo ono of its most ctllclont preacher*.

But soreneai of throat has COMIIELLCD him to par-tially retire from tho work, thoiigh ho rrgroU to do 80. But tUno would fail mo to toll of thoexoil-

lencca of a Wha loy , Miller, Duron , Taylor, etc.,

oto , w h o couipOBO tho ministry of Nor th Arkansas.

They are a noblo olaaa of brothruu; and they en-

joy tho visi ts of Baptist proachars who , like them-

aolvea, tiro not n f ra ld TM " speak out in moetin."
