Sunday School Convention of the
Athens District.


Mr.. Editor The Convention on this District
held its session at Swectwatcr, on the 9TH and 9th
inst. Among other things, they adopted the fol-
lowing report on Parsonagos:
The Committee to whom was referred the sub
jcct of Parsonages, submit the following:
We find the number Of Parsonagcs on this Dis
trict very limited, there being only two, viz; one
On Athens Circuit and one on Madisonvile Cir
cult. The former has IL small debt ON it, which is
provided for. The latter is simply purchased, but
no provision has yet been made to pay for it
This lack of Parsunages is not only embarrassing
and oppressive to the ministry, but detrimental
and injurious to the best interests of the Church
The provisions Of the Discipline, wisely instituted
II, the economy Of the Church, have been shame
fully neglected by preachers and people. In the
Judgment of your Committee, better line of poll
cy should be introduced; and are happy to
believe a deeper interest is being felt on this sub
ert than formerly. If the Church would expect
the ministry to provide for it in spiritual things,
they at least should have themselves and families
rendered comfortable and this cannot be done
when houses have to he rented, and the furniture.
necessarily scant, must be removed from year tn
vear-more especially when houses to DO rented
are generally dilapidated, announcement and UNI
comfortable. Your Committee recommend that
the attention of people be particularly direct
ed to that portion of the Discipline on this sub
Jcci, hil piEN -vi
Qacst-What advice or direction shall he Civ
en- concerning the building renting of dwelling
houses for the use of the married travelling preach
ers?
" Ans-lt il recommended to the travelling
preachers to advise our friends in general to pur-
chase lot of ground in each Circuit Tor Station)
aud build preachers house thereon, and to fur
nish il with at least, heavy furniture and to set.
tie the same trustees appointed by the Quarter
ly Conference" &c.
In procuring parsonage property, houses should
rather be built than to purchase old dilapidated
houses where considerable expense would have
| to be incurred to render them comfortable And
in selecting locations. especial care should be
taken with reference to-lst accessibility; I'd
society; Sd, health; 18th, mail facilities.
Resoired That the interests of the Church re
quirc and in view of those interests we respect,
| fully recommend, the building or procuring o
parsonage property in the following charges, viz
| Athens Station, Decatur Circuit Loudon Circuit
Maryville Circuit, aud Sowcc Circuit.
Resoired That we endorse the action of The
members Of the jacksonville Circuit, and recon
mend the Quarterly Conference to do the same
and taSc'steps TO secure means for the paymen
of their parsonage property.
Respectfully submitted

THE GREAT DRAWBACK to persons emf
grating to the extreme south and western country,
is the fear they have of the Fever and Ague--the
most drerul of all diseases. Every day we hear
of persons attacked by the disease and made help
less in short time without any means Of afford
ing relief. In view of the great demand for II
remedy DR.. lIostetter has presented his Celebra-
ted Stomach Bitters, whose curative powers for
all diseases of the stomach have been universally
acknowled The Bitters, prepared after n long
experience and deep study, have received the
enconiums of the most eminent physicians rs well
as all classes from every part ofour country. To
those who doubt their many virtues, all we can
say is to try tLcm, and judge for themselves re.
spcctivcly.
