Synod. &c.

- @SSNg W.
The 9th Sabbath of September we
spent in the pleasant town of Law
renceburg, where we shared the hos
FATALITIES, comforts and geniality of
Rev. w. T. Nixon's home. We
found at the G.. p. Church a small,
yet verv interesting, Sabbath school
with Mr.. VIM. Parkes Superinten
dent, and Rev. w. T. Nixon, Misses
Mary and Lula Parkes among the
teachers We left Lawrenceburg
deeply impressed with the pleasant
ness of the place and the kind affa-
bility of its people. With glad
welcome we will hail the day that
brings US another opportunity to
visit Lawrenceburg.
Bright blessings, in succession,
full and well dispensed, follow US;
and after leaving Lawrenceburg we
have the pleasure of spending sew
eral days in the quiet little town of
Campbellsville. We find Rev. w.
E. Mckenzie and wife still in charge
of the Campbellsville Academy,
working diligently and successfully
They are capital teachers. Many
friends they have won during their
stay in Campbellsville, and it is
much regretted that they think of
leaving soon.
Passing through Old Lynnville,
for a time we are detained in the
delightful and gleeful society OF
dear ones; but arrive at McCain's
church, Maury county, Tenn, on
Friday, Oct. 10Th at the honr APP
pointed for the meeting of the Go.
lumbia Synod of the c. p Church.
Rev. j. NJ Brown of Lewisburg
preached the opening sermon, pre-
senting rich and practical thoughts
upon The sOork of the Gospel Minis
ter and HIS Means of Success" Rev.
j. n. Mcdonald of the Tennessee
PresDytery was elected Moderator.
The lecture of Rev. A. Templeton
on the Duties of the PASTOR" de
livered on Saturday afternoon at 2
o'clock, was a rich intellectual and
spiritual treat.
Cane Greek church in Lincoln
county, was chosen as the place of
the next meeting of the Synod The
yellow fever excitement prevented
a large attendance of ministers and
elders, but the people of the commu
nifty turned out en- naasse and the Oc
casion was a most pleasant one. 1t
seemed that the most perfect ar
engagements had been made by pas
tor and people to give the members
of Synod and visitors a hearty wei
come to their neat church ground
and church house, and to the mu-
nificence and kindness OF their
homes. The beautiful chandeliers,
stained windows and frescoed walls
of the church indicate u people of
taste and energy. Many other com
munities might profit by this exam
Pile and go and do likewise.
So agreeable was our stay in the
neighborhood of McCain's that we
fingered awhile after Synod adjourn
ed. Prof. Harmon is teaching at the
Amos school house and Prof. G.
Medley at Cave Hill Academy in
the vicinity of McCain's. We had
precious moments of agreeable con
versation with friends whom we had
not met in many years. Some ia
mlliar faces carried us, in memory,
back to the merry, peaceful and tri
umphant hours of school life. 9th
ers brought to remembrance the
times that tried mems souls-the
times when fiery war steeds rushed
over our fair land, blighting Its
beautiful fields, desolating its bright
homes and carrying off its brave
men.
Among the many friends that we
met, none gladdened our hearts with
kinder greetings than Mrs. Melvin
Walker and Miss Alice Hannah.
Their names engraved upon the
immortal tablets of our hearts will
ever be held in grateful remem
brance. We deemed it a happy
privilege to be permitted to spend
some time at the homes of Revs.
w. NJ. Medley and G. T. Thompson.
A pleasant ride into Columbia gave
us the opportunity of meeting our
friend and classmate, A..W Stock
ella perfect gentleman, of pure
and lofty Christian character and a
lawyer. t. S.
