Nh. Editor, Please allow me a little
space in the columns of the MONITOR that
l may say a few words in regard to a To-
cal that appeared in the Evansville items,
in last weeks Express Dc Standard, which
casts an unjust slur upon the good people
of this village, and which is not altogeth-
er true. The preachers on Barton Land
ing NJ. f. charge, previous TO this year,
nave usually preached here once in two
weeks, and have occasionally attended a
social meering, for which they have re-
ceived from $50 to 500 For a place of
this size, with only a few professed Chris
tians residing here, we call this doing
exceedingly well. Many of the people
want preaching, and are willing to pay
forit. JUSTICE.
