Mr.. EpIroR;-Will you permit me
To suggest TO the congregation Worship
Ing In the M. Il. Church In Rockville
the proprlely OF making donation visl,
to the Rev. II. NJ. Eddy some time du-
ring next week; say about Tuesday the
Sd OF January,
These donation visits are not very
common in the west, and from all ] can
learn among Methodist preachers they
are like ANGELS visits few aud lag be-
tween" IL seems TO me that if all con-
cerned would feel little interest In the
matter that they might give to their
Preacher and HE family a handsome
New Years gift that would be thankful
iy received and be no great sacrifice on
The part of the donors.
Let those interested more in the mat
ter fix the time and announce TO the
congregation on Sabbath when il will be
convenient for the family to receive the
visits of their friends.
