From North Carolina.

Rev. A. G. CAN'T Mt. Pleasant, n
G. Nov. %: am now closing my first
years work on the Mt. Pleasant Cir
cult. I shall be able to carry my col
lections in full to New Berne next
week. There have been fifty CONVEX
sions in my charge this year and sew
enty accessions. 1t would afford me
much pleasure to be with you and
the brethren of former days at Winns-
boro, but duty calls me to the meeting
of my own Conference at that time.
Always glad, this editor is, to hear
from the transferred brethren.
We wish TO be in our place as long
as we live and are able to get there.
We wish to see and hear what the
brethren say and do, and if there is
anything we can do in helping for
ward the work of the Conference or
the interests of the church in its
bounds to do it for the sake of Christ.
Much is said about reunions" !"
There is no reunion like that of the
survivors at an Annual Conference.
Nothing on earth excels it sowe think.
The reunion in heaven of the faithful
fellow soldiers of the Cross who in
the intervals died at their post, is far
better, more glorious, eternal.

Extracts from the Christian Neighbor.
The Lords Prayer.

A correspondent asks the Ne0 York
Advocate this question
"Why do not Methodists use "forgive
US our debts" instead of "forgive us
our trespasses," when debts is in the
Bible and trespasses is not ?'
The substance of the answer is this
1.-THE Methodists derived their usage
from the Church of England, and that
form was in use before the King James
Version was translated. Furthermore,
there are two forms in the New Testa-
ment-one in Matthew, and one in
Luke. Matthew says "debts," and
Luke says "sins," which shows that
no particular importance is to be at
tached to the word, provided the mean
ing is retained. By referring to Mat
thew you will find that Immediately
after the Lords Prayer Christ says
18th chapter, 14th verse;: "For if We
forgive men their trespasses, your
heavenly Father will also forgive you ~
showing that in the opinion of the
very men who translated the word
"debts" in the prayer, the meaning is
"trespasses."
The first ten words gives the an
swer. The Methodists have been so
taught-taught to follow the Church OF
England in preference to the Bible.
After giving the answer, the Advo-
cate argues that ''trespasses" is prefer
able to "debts." The explanatory ar
gumentation falls short, we think, Of
justifying the position taken.
If mo particular Importance is to be
attached to the word, provided the
meaning is retained" why reject both
"debts" and "sins" as found in the
one and the other of the two forms in
the Bible, and contend for the form
used by the Church of England?
If the people understand the mean.
ing of 'trespasses" better than they
understand the meaning of "debts,"
(which is doubted,) why not use the
word "sins" which, to adults and chill
dren, is more explicit and clear than
either Of the other two words.
The point is not the Meaning of q
word in the Lords prayer and one
following the prayer, but the form OF
words composing that prayer. The
form in Matthew Is the one supposed
to be generally followed, but the
following often varies from the Bible
form in other words besides SUBSTITUTE
ing "trespassees" for "debts."
When the Bible form is once broken
the way is opened for any church or
worshipper to change the form as
Judgment or fancy may suggest; and
thus the form would be practically
lost in the many mutilations. The
only way to have uniformity in using
the Lords prayer is for all people to
use the form exactly as it is found in
the gospel by Matthew. "Hold fast the
form of sound words"

Dedication of the Presbyterian
Church.

No people ever deserved fuller notice OF
the dedication of their church than the Pres
byterians, and no church dedication was eV-
or as fully reported as is the dedication OF
their church.
The account of the interesting occasion con-
tains great variety of matter, and few read
ers will fail to find something in 1t, which
will be Interesting.
The paper, as q whole. is historical docu'
ment, and we'll worthy Of preservation.
If future generations take up the history OF
the church as furnished to-day, and continue
the record, It will be the best kept church re
cord in existence.
We claim no special credit for anything we
have done in the matter. We have only dis
charged our duty, as we conceived 1t, but we
desire to return hearty thanks to all who IN
any way rendered aid in the work.
Without assistance and cooperation we
could not have accomplished what we have
done.

colt. He had the identification marks

his teeth that looked as though the filling
had been removed. The sheriff wns quite

murderer. -Menominee Democrat.
