NorH1sG TO Thank COP FORA friend
relates u rather a novel discussion that
took place at a Methodist Church in this
county a few days since. At a business
meeting of the members Of the church, q
brother offered a resolution or motion
that they hold divine service on Thanks
giving Day, to return thanks to Almighty
God for the temporal and spiritual bless
iDgs bestowed upon them during the
past year, when another brother arose
and moved to lay the resolution on the
table. This motion created considerable
excitement and discussion. The brother
Offering the motion to lay on the table
made an elaborate speech, in which he
took the ground hat we had received
neither temporal or spiritual blessings to
be thankful for-that the church had not
been warmed up, the crops were a fail
nre, aud political matters were in a "des-
il of a fx,' and therefore be objected to
returning thanks. The motion was put,
and the resolution laid on the table al
most NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. Miss, Re
