Dear Interior;
A delightful ripple on the surface
Of our quiet life Col. Burnam and son, Of
Richmond, came TO see US and we can on
ly leave our friends 10 imagine our intense
enjoyment Of the visit o, for more Of the
dear familiar faces that can never fade out
OF our lives, to greet Us in this far-of landl
Keen was our disappointment in missing
our dear sister Sharpe. Of Louisville, who
came to the city called again and again and
left for Antwerp before we returned from
Scotland. The Colonel looks younger and
less care worn than when We last saw him,
and will, We hope, more perfectly renew
his youth during this European tour. His
father aud mine were fast friends in the
good old days" aud | was not little
touched with the Colonel's account Of their
parting interview tia; proved TO he the

heaven than you and those like you"
"Brother Barnes," responded thegOod man,

not be long in hunting you up" And so
they parted in fearful love and long since
both have made these parting words a
heavenly reality. "Blest be the tie that

The meeting at Brunswick Chapel closed
in blessing Sunday night; la confessions
in all. IL was quiet little work in quiet
out Of. the.way nook. am sure the LORD
sent us there and that IL enough. We
made the acquaintance Of a noble trio Of
gospel workers in the persons OF the Ward
brothers. London is Kept from utter pa.
trefaotion by the presence in il Of such
men as they scattered over it at preserva.
tive intervals. "Ye are the salt OF the
ssrlh." The meeting in Hackney is ad.
vertised to begin Sunday morning and We
are putting in this week at Clifford Hall
Bsrnsbury, in quite different part OF the
city. | foresee a glorious work at thil
point when We shall be permitted TO re-
turn to il at no distant day. The popula-
ton Is poor and swarms. They hear the
word gladly, reminding us Of Stratford Il
Bow.
