ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE AND VIRGINIA ADVERTISER.

1850 deeply and gratefully impressed with
the noble generosity of the people OF AleXan-
.dria, am I, a member of the Baltimore Confer
ence, that it ofords me such pleasure as l can
not express, through this medium to acknoWl--
edge my high appreciation of their unbounded
kindness and large-heartedness. More favor
able impressions in this respect have been MADE
upon my mind, than I. a perfect stranger, could
have imagined, had I not visited the city
When we leave this place-for I think T can
speak for all my brethren, as well as for myself
in this relation-it will be with such delightful
expressions of the generosity and cordial hospIl-,
tality of the people of this city, representing. al
Christian denominations, with whom Tor q lew
days We have, in the order Of providence, been
generous deeds and high achievements, when
we go forth this year, as many Of Us Will, to
prosecute the arduous tolls Of itenorant min
i~sterial life. Long Will We cherish in our
hearts sweetest remelu ORANGES OF the kindness
and benevolence Of the magnaniu1ous people
of Alexandria. We cannot reciprocate 1t, eX-
cept by commencing them to Hin who notices
every cup of cold water" given even to the
least ofall his disciples. May the blessing of God
that blessing that ''maketh rich and addeth
no sorroW"-ever abide with them! and IN
the great day Of eternity may their hearts be
thrilled with the words Of Jes-s-"inasmuch
as ye have done it unto one of the least Of these,
my little ones, ye have done it unto me"
Such thoughts and feelings as these, i~ncreas-
ing in our minds and hearts, each succeeding
day Of our Conference session, were augmented
ry the generous response made, a few nights
ago, to the calls of the representatives OF the
Home Missionary Society. Their cheerful ben
~efcence in this respect has reflected great credit
upon them, and done no small honor to the
old Baltimore Confe renee. 4 more ready and
unaffected display Of liberality We have never
seen evinced. May not only the life members
