Island, from John 3rd chapter 18th verse
-"God so loved the world that he gave
his only begotten son that whatsoever be-
lieveth on Him might not perish but
might have everlasting life" The SER
mon was not rhetorical, but sound, clear
and practical. While Mr.. Grimsley
makes no pretensions to oratory. yet the
simplicity of his style, the facility and
aptness with which he quotes scripture
and the ringing and must nj tones in
which he delivers himself almost causes
the wish that lie, like Tennyson brook
would "go on forever. IIeis deservedly
the most popular preacher in the ASso-
citation.
The following visitors from assistance
were in attendance upon and invited to
seats with the Association: Rev. H.
NJ. Wharton, DR.. James Parker, James
Pollard and William H. Hopkins of

James NJ. Hope, Delaware; Rev. j NJ.
Pitcher, Superintendent S. S. B. B.;
William H. Campbell, Hanover county;
Wallace Woodland, Middlesex county.
There are II churches in the associa-
ton, IS of which report by delegate or
letter. These IA churches have a mem
bership OF 1893, a gain of l23 since the

tributed during the associational year

s2O4 50; Foreign Missions, S127.3i;
Home Missions, s6s.l3; Education
Board, so; Minister'S Relief Fund,
$500. They contributed since the
last meeting to all benevolent objects
s5139.O2.
The letters and reports showed that
most of the churches Of the association
were in healthful and flourishing con-
dition. Interesting reports and speech
es were made on Home Missions, Fer
eign Missions, State Missions, S. S. s.
Bible Board, Minister'S Relief Fund
and Education. During the sessions of
the association excellent sermons were
preached to large and attentive au-
diences by Revs. Carter Helm Jones,

cciyed reply from them stating that
this had been done and that everything
was all straight. Anyone with ordinary

but also the person to whom the money
rightfully belonged. We have subse
