A Good Voice from Reidville

q MEssRs. EDITORS 1t was my priv.
Silege to cut loose for few days fromI
kthe tolls aud responsibilities of apI
@eight weeks seige iu protraeted meet.
Aiugs, and with wife and children start
Son visit to the old homestead, where
SIoved ones still reside-though some
gof the dear ones have crossed over the
ariver. The old EARN chair" sits "a.
'scant there, yet "uemory dear" sees
1.-THE dear mother as she used to scatter
ssuushiue on all around. Though
J. dead, she yet speaketh.
4 We "cauped" for night at the
sHopewell Camp Ground, where we
sfouud the P. E. and his forces on the
S6eld, with much to encourage them.
ssUp to Tuesday morning there was no
8 Groom for regrets at holding another
sCaup Meeting there.
s l found here, as elsewhere along my
pdtravel, dry weather and proneness to
sSmurmur at the prospect of living.
ssI feel sure that the yield, however,
Twill be greater than most people now
think. About the Goggaus place is
Sthe most complete failure along my
9route.
~ 1t was truly a pleasure to meet 50
q many of my old associates and friends
ion the same road and on the same
sday. F. Moon and his wife, T. Il.

4Blair; and then to have general
: jhand-shaking in the old home, where
dan host of Boyds had met. / forgot

Trinity Church, where sister Matte

iaamong friends in Newberry and Edge

Chad accumulated during our absence
was the HERALD, (our first reading
salways on mail days.) 1 read with
.3profound interest the views of those
@prominent men of Ncwberry on "Pro
Ahibition" I fear they have taker
'#the wrong view of things.
IA They are all good and true men
ssand are no doubt the Fright men ii

There, and l am glad to say that while
'@I am flushing up my second year OF
this work, I have seen but teoo drunk
tM men, and they came from neigbbor

Mliquor there. To say we will be de
'Hfeated is not sufficient ground to stay

@saved all souls. Must it cease because
ait has opposition? Will Bob luger
