ST. CLAIR, TENN, Nov. 2s, 1882. Dear
Breihren.-Had one confession and one an.
ointed last night The NJ. Il. pastor was
there and just after the benediction he arose
and calling the attention Of the people, de.
nounced me for having no license and for
my doctrine. The people began TO leave
the house. l told them 10 come back to-
night in the name Of the Lord. did not
get excited at all. Things are going on the

Brothers WiAie and Cldrie.-If l am inclin.
ed to be little dismal in this epistle, you
will please consider the circumstances that
environ me, description Of which will
proceed TO give. / have returned from the
church, where only two had gathered to
hear me preach. The saints here are colder
than the farewell christians, IL possible.
There have only been the thirteen confess
ions which we're made at the children's
meeting Sunday. No anointings. One old
gentleman from the country said he want
ed me to 90 out and see his daughter. But
he never returned TO take me out, as he had
promised TO do. / am quite an enigma to
the people. You know how shamefuily
we have been accused Of being Catholics,
Mormons, &c, now, 10 top il off, il has even
been said that we are Klu-Kluxl Horridl
Even the stove at the church seems to be
against me. 1t is trying TO convert that
edifce into a smoke-house and drive away
what few do. come out. Not single chris
tian has given me any encouragement what
ever. Last Sunday the Baptist minister
"shook me up" heard from my sister >
few days since. She informs me that IL IL
believed she has consumption. Have not
heard from home since arrived. This is
quite strange. Perine surely failed to send
that money as have not received II. You
can see that l am "sorely pressed" l wish
you had glimpse at my shoes at the pres
emit writing. Stuck" or not, shall ever
Praise the Lord. Yours in Christ,
LEONARD.
Garver's "sister" mentioned in the above
be hoped would aid him in the work with
her sweet singing. l leave these letters
with consciences. will add no more to
this except an apology TO the boys who
will not like this apparent breach Of conf
denee. But / trust the LORD to make
that all right. Ever in Jesus.
