The meeting at No. Ore church, in

been in progress for several days, is still
tlOurishing. Although the weather has
been very inclement, and therefore
many of the members of the church
could not attend, yet it pleased the good
LoId to bless His truth tn the edifica-

fastened himself, if possible, more
permanently in the affection of his old
hearers, and commanded the attention
and respect of those who have previous

rainy weather we are now having, the
meeting will probably be closed before
this appears in print. Bro Neal began

undergoing a spiritual death, with some
individual troubles existing amongst
her members, which have been remov-

prevail throughout the church.
Rev. A. b. Smith will begin a pro-
tracted meeting at Cool Spring church
on the next second Sunday, assisted by
Bro. Neal. Bro. Smith is an able min

earnest christian worker. May his
meeting be beneficial, and joy and
