From the Rev. j. w. cuHom.

write you a few lines from the
conference room. The last few
weeks of my pastoral work were so
crowded that l have hardly had
time to read the CHRONICLE, much
less write for it.
Yesterday will be looked back to
as remarkable Sunday in our con-
ference work. In closing the servi-
ces last night, DIR. McFerrin said,
"Thank God for this Sunday" and
chorus of amens went up from the
congregation. The love feast at
nine was remarkable for its power,
and then at eleven Bishop Pierce,
though feeble in health, preached,
perhaps, the sermon of his life. He
closed amid cyclone of religious
fervor, his voice being almost
drowned out by the responses and
rejoicings of preachers and congre-
cation. AT three O'Clock DIR. Bar
bee preached mastery sermon,
and a thoughtful preacher said to
me that there was more solid theol-
ogy in five minutes of the sermon
than was usually heard in a whole
discourse. At night DIR. Hammer
preached. The Tennessee confer
ence will never forget it while we
remember anything. The subject
was hope, and the sermon was the
most tender and subdued in its ut
terances we have ever heard from
him. He closed and sat down and
then there was pause for awhile
till DIR. McFerrin in his seat started
an old song which swept out through
the vast congregation. Then the
preachers, as if by one impulse,
came forward and shook hands
with Bro. Hammer; the inspiration
caught to the congregation, and
song after song was sung and the
feeling was so deep that it was a
long time before we could adjourn.
L have never before seen the "old
man eloquent" SO melted and NOV
ed. The conference will adjourn
tonight. j. w. G.

From Rev. j. 81. Gold.


To the CHRONICLE:
Again l must ask permission to
say a word to my friends through
your columns. Our years labor has
been greatly blessed of the Lord.
We have had about seventy CONVEX
tons and the church much revived.
We have had a great deal of sick
ness in the country, but our own
family have had less than usual.
Only one chill so far in the family,
and the writer encountered that
while in the pulpit last spring.
The dryest season I ever saw has
just closed with an abundant rain.
1t is hoped now that the health will
get better. An abundant corn crop
has been gathered, and many are
about finishing the picking of cot
ton. Cotton is very light, some
thing over half crop. Sweet po-
tatoes except early varieties almost
failure; also late Irish. potatoes
and turnips. Our climate is mild
enough however, to have salad in
abundance from seed sown in the
middle of this month.
Some of our correspondents doubt
less think US remiss. Our excuse is
labors abundant. In the midst of
the revival season and winding up
the work of the year we find but
little time for letter-writing. We
hope friends will not count visits.

The ideal Opera campany--lo,anthe.

Il
This admirably constructed com
pany played on Wednesday nigh
to a large and thoroughly apprecia
tive audience. The delight will
which their excellent singing anC
acting was received would hav'
amounted to establishment if it haC
been known that two of the prime
donaas AHA one of the principa
male singers were sick and theil
places had to be taken at days
notice by three of the members who
had previously been cast in subor
dinate parasitic result of travel
ling in malarious Arkansas. Misses
Mae st. John and Lottie Cruik.
shank and Mr.. John E. McWade
were the missing members; their
parts were Iolanthe, the Queen OF
the FAIRIES and Lord Mt. 'Ararat,
which characters were sustained by
Misses Josephine Bartlett and
George Petit and Mr.. A. R. Bur-
ton, the parts previously played by
those artists being supplied from
the Chorus. That the piece met
with a deservedly brilliant success
in spite of these substitutions is a
pregnant proof of the completeness
of the company; mere star COM
pany must have broken down COM
pletely under such a trial, but this
is an organization in which all the
members are artists, and success
does not depend upon the qualifica-
tions of any one or two.
1t would not be fair to criticise
any shortcomings on the part of
ladies so suddenly cast in parts new
to them, but we would say that,
except for some hesitation in the
dialogue, Misses st. John and Bart
lett would never have been sus-
pected to have taken two difficult
parts on so short notice. One of
Miss Bartlett's airs would have
done credit to any artist; we speak
OF the prayer to the Lord ChanceI-
lor in the, second act.
But the piece did not depend up
on the individual merits of any one
artist, or any two or three; like all
of Sullivan's operas, the merits of
the composition depend more upon
the concerted music than on the
solos, and 1t is remarkable that,
while the whole performance was
highly successful, all the encores
were given to concerted pieces.
We have no space to do justice to
the inimitabIe drollery of Mr..
Grips, as the Lord Chancellor, or
the sweet singing of Miss LePitre
and Mr.. c. II. Clark as Phyllis and
Strephon, (whOse Duet deservedly
elected the first encore,) or the
splendid bass of Mr.. w. II. Clark as
private Willis. In a word, the
success of the piece was due less to
individual merit than to the en-
Sen6le in which the we'll trained
chorus and the splendid orchestra
were potent elements. This is what
we have never before had in Clarks-
vile; the chorus and orchestra,
without which an opera is no opera,
have never amounted to anything
in any company hitherto visiting
us; in this they were among the
most important factors of success.
The richness of harmony and orches-
tration, in which this opera far sur
passes all Sulliy ans previous efforts,
would have been utterly lost but for
the features we have mentioned as
the distinguishing characteristic of
the Ideal Opera Company.

STERLING BREWER.
She was dearest to father and mother,
The youngest and sweetest of all;
Very dear to each sister and brother;
Alas that sweet Attic should fall.
From her meek eyes love ever was BEAM

Every feature was instinct with love;
And we loved her so dearly-ne'er dream
ing
How soon she'd be taken above.
In the drean-land we often shall meet
thee,
Unconscious of deaths potent spell
But here we shall never more greet thee,-
Then Attic, .dear Attic farewell!
We grieve, but our faith is not shaken,
Hope tenderly softens each sigh;
The lamb of the flock has been taken
To the good Shepherds fold in the Sky.
