Letters From the People.

Mr.. EDIToR-.I have read with much
interest the sermons of DR.. Talmagr,
and hope they have proved beneficial
to others. While few aspire to such
worldwide notoriety as he has very
justly gained for himself by the publ
cation of Ills sermons. yet doubt not
that many, although not so learned and
popular as he is. might accomplish much
good by publishing their thoughts on
parts of scripture. The secular press
has become one of the most potent and
wdesl read agencies for good in this d.
rection. And now that the columns OF
all or nearly all are not only open to re-
ceive and publish such articles, but are
anxious to lay before their readers what
ever will tend to elevate the morals OF
their readers, I have frequently thought
that ministers ind others should avail
themselves of this means of doing good.
If occasionally they should send few
we'll digested thoughts for publication
in their local papers, they might awaken
greater interest in the christian life
among all classes of church members.
It NAV lie that there are some who stl-
dom attend their own houses of worship,
to Whom these articles would be well
come messages. and the reading OF
them might produce a great change IN
their christian life. Even a few short
texts of scripture without comment
would be read in q newspaper by some
who seldom read the Bible, and Il lasting
impression for good might result to
this class of christians. Then again
those christians who toll in every de
partment II church work might by
calling the attention of these delinquent
members 10 these texts and articles get
up little talk around the fresidc upon
some neglected duty, and thus they
would become the agents for good. If
these few lines should lie read by your
numerous subscribers. / will give text
mt the close of this and ask each one Of
them to mediate upon it for the next
week, and, if il meets with your APP
probation. Mr.. Editor, will send a few
comments upon it for you next week.
Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?"

MR.. ED1TOR.-We will state for the
guidance of committee appointed at
Onancack of the Accomac Truckers
and Fruit Growers Association, that a
like committee has been appointed by
the State of Delaware to confer with
merchants and gain all possible infor-
nation relative to determinations &C.,
and know that they have done some
very valuable work. LII ae few days We
will be enabled to give you facts in con-
nection with the above, which will give
your farmers committee very valuable
working grounds, owing to the fact
that the said committee appointed by
like association of the State of Delaware
has selected our house as its shipping
centre. They have made US shipments
from Norfolk and propose doing so
from other localities, their object being
to thoroughly determine to what extent
this evil has been aid is at present time
being carried on. Hoping you will
either publish this in your paper or re-
fer its contents 20 the committee hav.
ing the matter in charge.
Respectfully,
