From the Pa,kers,nrs Me~,.
:, N. w. va. Baptist Association.


The North Western Virginia Assc-
fsiation, which is union of the five
Regular Baptist Associations of North
Western Virginia, for the purpose of
expediting and conducting the Home
Mission cause, within its own territory,
held its seventh annual meeting in
Clarksburg, commencing on Saturday,
the 10th inst, and concluding on Mon
day, the 22d. S. Siegfried was elect
ed Moderator, and D. Il. G. Farrow,
Secretary. There were % ministers
in attendance, and from $50 to 200 lay
delegate, representing about one hun
dred churches.
The report of the Board for the past
year shows that there were employed
on the field during the year ending
May 31st, 1857, fourteen missionaries,
for either the whole or part of their time,
amounting in the aggregate to the la
Dor of one man for nine years. The
result of their labors is as follows:-
1929 sermons preached, 1876 miles
travelled, 1867 family visits made, 165
converts baptized, 2 churches and 2
sabbath schools organized, and 106 re-
tligious books and 16 bibles and testa-
ments gratuitously distributed by two
of the number. The amount of salaries
paid to missionaries was 1922 SO, of
which $1,133 47 were collected on the
field by the missionaries, $652 At at
the last annual Association, and ST.
466 81 were paid by the Eastern Vir-
ginia Board. ....
For the present year, expiring May
31st, 1858, 16 missionaries have been
appointed to preach within the bounds
of the Association, for all or q part of
their time, the aggregate ofwhose labors
will be equal to the labor of one man
| for II years; 10 assistant missionaries
have also been recommended, S colpor-
teurs have been appointed to distribute
gratuitously to the needy, and sell re-
ligious books, bibles, and testaments.
A resolution was also adopted appoint
ing an exploring missionary, to travel
over the field, and report the destitu
tion which may exist. The salaries of
the regular missionaries appointed for
the present year amounts to $4, 1872, of
which sum 81, 1866 SO was pledged to
be raised on the field a considerable
sum was also pledged to be raised in
support of corporteurage. $625 90
were collected for Domestic Missions
at the meeting of the Association.
A Foreign Missionary Mass Meeting
was held at 3 o'clock on Sunday after
noon, at which an address was deliver
ed by Elder J. B. Taylor, of Richmond,
and a collection of over 500 90 taken
up.
The next meeting Of the Association
will be held at Pruntytown, Taylor
county, Virginia.

Death Of Thomas Dick, Esq, l.. l.. d.

We have to announce the demise Of
this venerable and excellent gentleman
the author of "rhe Christian Philoso-
pher" and of several other works of
pious instructive nature, which have
met with high acceptance and popular,
ity. He expired at his residence in
Broughty Ferry, where he had lived
Tor the long period of more than thirty
years, quietly prosecuting his astron.
omical studies, engaged in the labors
OF an transformations bencvolence, and
enjoying the warm respect of oil a,
round him. Recently he suffered the
bereavement of two grandchildren, and
never thoroughly recovered from the
blow he had sustained. 1t was not till
Friday last however, that he became
seriously i'll, but from that period he
gradually sank. DR.. Dick had attain
ed the ripe old age of cighty-three.-
The removal of one who had so far ex-
ceeded the ordinary limit of human life
is scarcely matter of surprise but
the example of his calm, genial, honor
able and useful history is one that
should not be without it's salutary in
iluence. A year or two ago his servi-
ces in popularizing science we're ac.
knowledged by the gift of one of those
scanty pensions which are allotted to
the reward of such labors. He was
thrice married, and widow survives
him.-Dundce Warder. ..r.

WEIGHING THE EVIDENCE.

A. clerical correspondent of the Pres
byterian relates an account of a recent
ly deceased jurist, which is interesting.
This man had been for mahy years d
Judge of the Supreme Court of south.
western State. His learning, sagacity,
integrity, and morality gave him ve-
ry high position in the community -
But, while an attentive hcarer of the
gospel, he was not professor of reli-
glon. On one occasion the clergyman
who had had some previous ac9uaint.
ance with him, having concluded his
call, was about to withdraw, when the
Judge said to him, with emotion, "Sir,
| have good news for you. Although
| feel myself the unworthiest of them
all, | am, | trust, one of the children
of God" As he spoke, his eyes filled
with tears, and he proceeded to give
me a narrative of his case. He had
been for years undecided, if not scep-
tical, in regard to the Bible. Feeling
himself advancing in age, he determ-
ined to decide the case for himself once
and forever. He gave one year to an
investigation of the Scripture, and the
evidence for and against it exactly as
he would have done complicated and
important case laid before him as a
Judge of the Supreme Court. After
n full, calm, impartial examination, he
deliberately decided that the Bible was
from God-was all it professed to be.
He then felt the clear obligation to be.
lleve and to act upon its teachings -
a little while he hesitated in regard tc
what was faithin Christ--puzzled by its
very simplicity. But the Holy Spirit
completed his work by opening his eyes
to see and acknowledge Christ as his
Saviour; and after some months of Sc,
rions consideration of that part ot
Christian duty also, he became mem
Der of the Presbyterian Church in the
place in which he lived. If all sceptic:
would only thus weigh the evidence
how surely would they attain the like
precious faith of Gods elect - Christ
