AGE OF THE VIRGINIA CONFERENCE.

Rev. Leroy NJ. Lee, ID. D., pastor OF
the Union Station Methodist church.
Richmond, contributes to the Jhristian
Aduocdte. an interesting contribution to
history touching the age of the Virgin
ia Conference Of the MethodistIC murch.
The Doctors conclusion is that '.the
Virginia Conference, IL the representa-
tive Of Methodist history in heir territ0-
rial limits dates back OF Il 81 eighteen
or twenty-One years, as 1873 or 1915
may be fixed upon as starting point
OF its history. Its ensuing session will
be in ninety second or ninety fifth, in
stead OF, as its journal viii report. It's
seventy fourth session. 1t is due, there
fore. TO the truth OF history and to the
ecclesiastical character and position of
the Conference that its Journals be so
corrected as To set forth tina actual fact
as to the age Of our Conference and its
relations III this respect to the family
OF American Methodist Conference.

sage i'm letter of March 26, 1852, which
is SO appropriate to the present time
that we republish it.

ONE IN A THOUSAND.

General Rawlins, the man of large
heart and generous impulses. the fit
type OF the great Northwest, died poor.
This in the better days of the Republic
would have been a common announce
ment; but now when "pat riotism" and
"place' are synonymous 1t should be
recorded to his honor. He was large
hearted, generous man with t:nctlire
OF BourhDnism in his composition, and
preferred TO be right to being rich,
Under these circumstances, and with
such character as his, we are glad to
know that the people are providing for
his family; and We trust that this spOn-
taneous evidence OF the public appreci-
ation OF honesty will not be lost upon
men in office. Norfolk Hrginian.
