l3r. Editor Il find that 7 have

in somo comments, which l. intcn-

. A writer in "thc Southern Pres

holds the following language
"Thcy arc positively bcttcr look

plimontary to be sure, as coming

ciated. "For physical strength,
and health they arc models" Not
quito 50 fast, Mr.. J. O. Il. Tt may
bo true Of few, but it does not
hold good Of tho majority. Tt
might have been true ofthe whole
body, some thirty or forty years
ago. Now, there arc not few
who arc slender and dclicatc-scv~
eral with impaired health, indicat-
ing plainly enough, that as Il body,

frame. A. much larger number
than formerly Of the members OF
tho South Carolina Conference,
have been subjected to the pains
aad penalties Of advancing civili-
zatid dpn and many have passed
through the damaging processes,
as 10 health, Of scolastic training.
Perhaps ]. O. i. would be sur
priiscd to learn how many Of them
arc, graduates Of some Of the most
respectable Institutions OF learn
ing, in tho land. Formerly, the
Bible, Hymn Book, Weslcy's Ser
mons, and y few other standard
works composed their library
their horses and saddle bags, their
entire propcrty--thcir circuits con
stituted their seminary, and the
wide, wide world their study.
Strange as it may seem to many,
