sent the claims Of The Winchester Baftist
church, and take up collection to aid their
building fund.

on MISUNDERSTANDING foreign, domestic,
and State missions.
Able and telling speeches were made on
the report by Rev. Drs. Poindexter, Curry,
and Broaddus, and Fl. K. Ellyson, Esq.
DR.. Curry gave most beautiful iliu5tra-
tons of the progress Of Truth in the TACT
that o fourishing Sunday school now meets
every Sabbath in the town OF Seville, Spain,
which was the seat Of tho Inquisition, ana
where were recently cxhumed the bones Of
the martyrs who persisted there; ana tna'
the Baptist house OF worship here, IN winch
this great congregation gathers to-day,
stands on the site of the old jail where,
inst before the Revolution, Baptist preach
crs were imprisoned For the crime OF preach
inc the Gospel, and where, through grated
bars. they Still preached to the people, who
would gather on the outside.
He also paid feeling tribute TO the
venerable Oliver WEIGH, who is mentioned IN
the Minutes IS having organized number
of churches in this Association; who has
long been standing up for Jesus IN Ma
hama. and under whose labors the speaker
himself had profcssed faith in Christ.

BAPTIST churches of Virginia and West Viz
cinia had been organized by its miss!ona-

devote itself chiefly hereafter to the Valley
