Correspondence of The Richmond Dispatch1
AUGUST 90, 1878.
The Albemarle Baptist Association closed
its session to-day. The weather has been
very favorable during the meeting, though
sometimes threatening. A good rain few
days before served TO refresh and enliVen
vegetation and prevent the dust, which is
sometimes great annoyance when large
crowd is assembled.
The business OF the body was transacted
in the house, which was crowded to its ut
most capacity with an attentive audience.
deeply interested IN the discussions OF the
various subjects under consideration. The
speeches were good, most OF them short,
and to the point. The reports read were
short, and full OF good suggestions. The
best order prevailed, and the harmony was
such that there was not q dissenting voice
to any proposition made. After the order
of business had been disposed OF parting
hymn was sung, while q cordial hand
shaking was enjoyed by the delegates, visit
ors, and brethren generally. Prayer was
then offered up by one OF the delegates, in
which the whole assembly joined and re-
sponded with hearty amen. The Mode
rator. with few feeling words OF address.
declared the final adjournment Of the
body.
There was preaching at the stand by DR..
Hatcher, at II o'clock, to very large and
attentive audience. The sermon was eX-
ceIlent, and well-cacuiated to make good
and lasting Impressions upon the hearers
IT is a generally expressed opinion that
there never was a better Association held
for religious and social enjoyment than the
one Just closed at EbeneZer church.
The usual vote Of thanks as part Of the
programme OF business was given with q
hearty goodwill that spoke we'll for the
kindness and hospitality shown to the men,
bers and visitors who united in the vote.
Your correspondent was assigned to the
care OF Mr.. Jesse Adams, who lives about
six miles from the church. he is large
man with q large farm, and with heart
larger than all, who, with his amiable fami-
~, spared no pains or expense in making
the large number assigned to him as happy
as princely entertainment could make
them. Richmond was well represented at his
hospitable board but bis guests were from all
quarters, and so numerous that it took two
carriages aud as many wagons, with num-
Der riding horseback, to take his visitors to
and from the church; all OF which, was fur
nished and arranged with such order and
SO pleasantly that 1t tended to smooth the,
roughness OF the road. We shall none OF
US soon forget our pleasant stay with this
kind family, and wish that thelshadow OF
Jesse Adams may never grow less or his
name Tail In the land. z. I 49,.
must not omit to say that Captain COT
fee did excellent service in experimenting
things generally and keeping the best OF
order outside during tine whole meeting.
This is fine country, SO far as we have
seen II, and the people NOT a whit behind
the best In our land, speaking from per-.
sonal experience. 81.
