have thus far, Mr.. Editor, prepared the above
for publication in your paper, at the reques
Of citizens of this place; but ! cannot prevail up
on myself 10 close, without referring 10 the kinC
treatment that has been extended towards US, du
ring the sessions of Synod.

UOn OF place lOr tue HeeNnR Vi OyHOu, u Sc
lect those that contained sufficient number oI
our own communion, 10 bear at least The burden
of providing for the accommodation Of its mem
bers; but here it has been different; but few fam
lilies Of our own communion in town, we have a:
delegates been cast upon the hospitality of its cit
izens, for homes and entertainment during ou
stay. To The lasting honor Of the inhabitants o
Canollton, allow me 10 say, being "Srdnger
they took us in," ministered 10 our necessities
contributed 10 our enjoyment, and anticipated ou
smallest want. The Ministers, too, of the dif
ferent religious denominations kindly extended
TO US the hand of fellowship, opened 10 US thei
homes, their churches, allowed US the free ust
of their puIpils. and evinced toward us in every
particular, the character Of the master.
The remembrance of these things will remail
upon the minds Of the members of This Synod
ill time shall be no more. May He that rule
above, remember Carroton in mercy, bless it
kind and hospilabe citizens, and prepare them 70
everlasting life. R. ROGERS SALTER.
