ORovIILE. June lst. 1867.
To THE EDITOR OF THE BUTTE REBoRp;-Dear Sir
viii you allow to make very few remarks on the
paragraph which appears IN paper of to-day. head
ed Negro sermon. Your Informant has done the
Preacher great injustice In the first place: The lam
guage used with the exception OF very few words
correc, and good English. 2nd-The introduction to
the Sermon unexceptionable and thought. at the
time did the Preacher great credit The Subsequent
parts of it contained many original and striking
thoughts, but they disconnected and rambling
3rd-The service conducted by him. which resulted in
the conversion of the wealthy sinner and fifteen Others
is solemn and important matter to be made sport
Of The principal man became devoted Class Leader
has since ded-and he, with nearly the whole Of the
fifteen, the whole, have gone TO Heaven. sh-lt
is that the Preacher said that he had con-
yered Mr.. Cole. The statement that Mr.. Cole was
converted under his miIisry-had since died happy in
the Lord-and that before his death he had requested
his brother write coiored friend in Marysye
tell him how well he had died. and request him to meet
the departed in Heaven. l only wish that We white
preachers had received the baptism of holiness
which the colored preacher has recently experienced
and also that had the zeal for the conversion Of
souls and the glory OF God. remain yours truly.
